Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (1)

“Gate of Doom, open the damn door for me!! Don’t think you can hide in there and be safe!”

The old door banged loudly, as if it could fall apart at any moment.

“You Gate of Doom, stealing right from under my nose, I won’t let you live, get out, get out!!”

The door didn’t seem sturdy, but the person outside had been kicking for quite a while and couldn’t kick it down.

At this moment, Chuzheng was sitting behind the door, indifferently looking at the entrance.

Another world changed…

“Bastard, how much longer until I can go back?”

[Miss, collect 99 Good Person Cards and you can go back!]King’s cheerful voice rang out.

Ninety-nine…

Chuzheng, expressionless, asked, “How many do I have now?”

[Two, Miss, keep it up!]

Chuzheng rested her head on her hand—the count was not even close, when would she collect all ninety-nine?

“So I just need to collect Good Person Cards, why the pointless spending.”

[But Miss, if you fail the main mission, you’ll have to start over…] King said timidly as a reminder.

Damn the rewind and start over!

Chuzheng grabbed something next to her and fiercely smashed it against the noisy door.

So annoying!

She didn’t know if it was the effect of her smash or what, but the noise outside suddenly stopped.

All around became quiet, and the King immediately prompted Chuzheng to assimilate the memories.

–

The original owner of the body was also named Chuzheng; she was born in the Demon Realm.

A thousand years ago, the Demon Realm waged war against the Human Race. In the end, the humans emerged victorious, and the Demon Clan was sealed away in the sunless Underground Demon City.

In Demon City, there was no daylight; the place was barren, food was scarce, and there was nothing at all.

After Chuzheng was born, her parents disappeared, and she was adopted by an old man. Her life was full of hardship until the old man eventually passed away as well.

One day, Chuzheng met Lin Chen, a young man who had intruded into the Underground Demon City and was injured.

The original owner saved Lin Chen and took great care of him.

Lin Chen was handsome, and as they spent time together, she gradually developed feelings for him.

After Lin Chen recovered, he promised her that once he found a way to leave, he would come back and take her with him.

However, the original owner never saw him return.

When Lin Chen didn’t come for her, the original owner decided to go out and look for him. But the seal on the Underground Demon City was old, and nobody knew how to get out.

But she figured if Lin Chen could get in, there must be a way out.

And then the original owner really did make it out.

But once she was out, she was captured. When she saw Lin Chen again, he seemed to have forgotten about her.

The original owner told Lin Chen about the days they spent together in the Underground Demon City, but he was indifferent and claimed he didn’t understand what she was talking about.

The original owner was of the Demon Clan, inherently opposed to his kind.

They planned to dispose of her, but at that moment, Lin Chen suddenly stopped them.

She was taken to Lin Chen’s Sect,

The original owner thought Lin Chen had remembered her, and she was overjoyed.

And indeed, Lin Chen treated her well, as if he truly recalled that she had once saved him in the Demon Clan.

He not only gave her an identity but also helped her hide her origins, so that the rest of the Sect did not discover she was a demon.

For a time, the original owner was truly happy, thinking she could be with Lin Chen.

However, what the original owner didn’t expect was—Lin Chen’s act of saving her life was also for the sake of her life.

When the Human Race sealed the Demon Clan, they left a prophecy.

The one born with the Demon Bone shall lead the Demon Clan back to the light.

And the original owner was the demon who possessed the Demon Bone.

Lin Chen had someone he liked, but that person was about to die.

Lin Chen proposed transplanting that person’s soul into his body, which would not only inherit her demon bone, cutting off the possibility of the Demon Clan returning to the human world, but would also save the person he liked, killing two birds with one stone.

The original owner liked Lin Chen ever since she met him.

However, Lin Chen’s affections were given to someone else, and he was even willing to kill her and seize her body for that person.

After discovering she knew about this, Lin Chen imprisoned her, and the Lin Chen who used to treat her well seemed like nothing but an illusion.

He was still the same Lin Chen who, upon their first meeting in the human world, was so cold it chilled one’s heart.

The original owner’s soul was extracted amidst her unwillingness and pain, as she watched another person take over her body.

That alone was bad, but Lin Chen also used her soul to nourish and ensure a complete fusion with his body.

However, Lin Chen’s ruthlessness toward her turned into full tenderness for the person he liked, a gentleness the original owner had never seen before.

The original owner was left with only a wisp of her residual soul, yet Lin Chen couldn’t let her go, using her last wisp to forge a weapon for the person he loved.

–

Chuzheng finished assimilating the memories and rubbed her brow, the unwillingness of the original owner at the time of death felt like it was about to burst out.

The current timeline was right after the original owner had found the injured Lin Chen and stole a bit of food from the neighbor’s house to save him.

In the Underground Demon City, food was scarce, and with the original owner unable to cultivate, surviving to such an age was a miracle.

So the big man, who found out he was robbed, came looking for her just now.

In the memories, the original owner ran out and drew the big man away, but eventually was caught and beaten by him. Had it not been for someone pleading on her behalf, she might have died at the hands of the big man.

Chuzheng turned her head to look behind her, a narrow, shabby hut where a wooden plank served as a bed. At this moment, a young man was lying on that bed.

He was indeed handsome, with bright red lips and clear eyes.

To be so good-looking, yet have such a terrible end, to treat a girl who liked him with such venom.

So cruel!

What a waste of a good-looking face.

Might as well get rid of him first!

“Bang!”

The rickety door finally couldn’t resist anymore, collapsed down, splintering into pieces, dust flying up.

A big, burly man with well-developed muscles blocked the doorway, and seconds later, he bent down to enter. A scar across his face made him look especially ferocious.

“Gate of Doom!” the big man, holding a knife, swept his fierce and menacing eyes across the room and landed on Chuzheng, “I will not leave until I kill you today!”

Chuzheng: “…”

He had just left, was it to get a knife? Was his conscience not pricked when taking a knife against such a pitiful girl as herself?

Chuzheng looked down at her hands; they weren’t particularly fair, covered in some wounds and calluses.

Facing such a big man… according to her memory, this big man was supposed to have some cultivation.

Bullying the weak!

That’s not demonic at all!!

The big man was already walking towards Chuzheng. A few more steps, and he would see Lin Chen lying behind her.

Sniffing the air, the big man smelled something…

“Human?”

Chuzheng stood up expressionlessly, pointing at Lin Chen on the bed, “He’s yours.”

The big man who was about to act out: “…”

The Demon Clan didn’t regard Chuzheng at all, walking straight to the back and picking up Lin Chen, sniffing him hard.

It really was a human!

Since the sealing of the Underground Demon City, no human had appeared.

“Where did you find him?” the big man turned to ask Chuzheng.

Chuzheng slowly straightened out her dirty clothes, “Picked him up.”

The big man’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You’re giving him to me?”

“Mhm.” I’m very generous; since I can’t do it myself, it doesn’t concern me if someone else does, “To settle the debt.”
