In his previous life, Lian Rufeng was a prodigy of the cultivation world.
His parents ascended together, leaving behind a vast fortune. He had a rare spiritual root and extraordinary talent.
His life had always gone smoothly, until his childhood friend betrayed him and drove him into a desperate situation.
The senior brothers who had once been as close as family accused him of murder and stealing treasures. The sect elder who had loved him like his own son wanted to destroy his spiritual root with his own hands.
Lian Rufeng knew they were doing it all for the heavenly treasures his parents had left behind. He would rather destroy his golden core and die with them than let them get away with it.
Unexpectedly, after such a brutal battle, he survived. A silver chain around his wrist bound him to a bed of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual jade. Beside the bed sat a tall, vicious-looking man: Xiao Jue, once the lowest-ranking sword slave in the Lian household.
Lian Rufeng knew this was the best outcome he could have hoped for after destroying his golden core. He sighed. "Did the Demon Lord save me?"
"What else, my young master?" The great demon didn't even look up, his terrifying gaze fixed on the longest wound on Lian Rufeng's body.
"Then what is this for?" Lian Rufeng raised his left hand, showing him the silver chain.
"Obviously, I'm keeping you here to torment you in every way imaginable." The great demon gritted his teeth.
But the "torment" Lian Rufeng received was a life where everything he needed was provided, even rare spiritual herbs to restore his battered body.
He still remembered how, just before he closed his eyes for good, that great demon carried him everywhere, searching for a doctor and finding no help, his eyes full of despair as he all but went mad.
When Lian Rufeng opened his eyes again, he had returned to the moment before destroying his golden core.
This suffering young master didn't want to go through it all again.
In full view of everyone, he stepped out of the mountain-protecting formation and walked toward the great demon.
He thrust his empty left wrist in front of Xiao Jue. "I don't want to go through the whole process. Just take me back to the Demon Realm."
Has this young master of the Lian family gone mad?
The ten demon soldiers and the left and right guardians stared at Lian Rufeng, waiting for their lord to slap him to death.
In front of all his subordinates, the great demon glowered ferociously. "You know who I am. Aren't you afraid I'll flay you alive?"
Wow, he was really putting on a convincing act.
Lian Rufeng yawned and replied offhandedly, "You're the father of my child."
The demon soldiers stared in shock, looking from the young master of the Lian family to their own Demon Lord.
Lian Rufeng urged him on. "I haven't slept in ages. Hurry up."
Life in the Demon Realm was indeed much more comfortable. Heavenly treasures were everywhere, and the Demon Lord was there to cultivate with him every day.
With the silver chain still on his hand, Lian Rufeng rubbed his aching lower back. If only that demon would stop clinging to him every night and demanding they make that child.
