Because she shared the same possessiveness as Yaohua, Zhao Yue found herself appreciating and understanding Yaohua a bit more.
She patted Yaohua on the shoulder. "This incident happened suddenly. I didn't control myself well. From now on, I'll never let anyone touch him again. But Chongming is a great enemy of the demons. And when I cooperated with the God - Lord, I promised to cripple Chongming. So I have to disperse his spiritual power before I can hand him over to you."
After saying that, she rarely paused. Instead of being as assertive as usual, she gave the choice to Yaohua.
But Yaohua knew this was an obvious test.
Zhao Yue could understand her possessiveness, but only if she obeyed orders in everything.
If she defied orders for Chongming's sake, her days of being in favor would be numbered.
However, she glanced at Chongming, and the unique communication channel between the master and the disciple was activated. She clearly saw the calmness in his eyes.
She had full confidence in her master's strength and knew he must have a backup plan. So she replied cheerfully, "Although losing his cultivation means he'll lose the majesty of a supreme god, I can't beat him now. Instead, I can play with him to my heart's content when he's weak. Leader, you're so wise!"
Zhao Yue nodded in satisfaction, but Chongming felt rather complicated.
He actually hadn't expected Yaohua to gain trust in such a way.
During their eye - contact just now, although they were in danger, seeing the affectionate look in her eyes, he almost lost his composure.
Later, seeing her act coquettishly in front of Zhao Yue, charming but not vulgar, and utterly captivating, with her slender waist and fair skin, he didn't even dare to look at her for too long.
When he thought about how these demons had been so infatuated with her dance, he felt extremely frustrated!
But when he heard Yaohua say those bold words, the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.
Words like "play with" and "possess" ... Why could Yaohua say these words so naturally? How many different sides of her were there that he hadn't seen yet?
While he was in a daze, the God - Lord quietly stepped forward, eager and a bit smug to cripple his cultivation.
Chongming suddenly came to his senses. With a wave of his palm, he sent the God - Lord flying. The demonic aura and the cage around him shattered instantly, and then he left without hesitation.
"Master, why are you running away?" Yaohua maintained her yandere persona and chased after him possessively.
Chongming replied without looking back, "Don't call me master. You just disgust me."
Yaohua felt as if struck by lightning. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being too cruel!"
The True Fire of the Phoenix took shape and instantly enveloped Chongming.
Chongming was forced to stop. His whole body was engulfed in the blazing flames. The light of his sword flashed and rushed straight towards her. "Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for cleansing the sect!"
"Why are you so cruel to me?"
"I've been kind enough to you, but you're insatiable. You're the one in the wrong!"
The master and the disciple turned against each other and started fighting. Zhao Yue watched this sad drama with great interest.
Just then, Yaohua let out a shrill scream and flew out like a shooting star. Her left arm was cut and bleeding profusely, and the surging sword intent was still coming at her.
Zhao Yue landed in front of her. Her black skirt fluttered, and golden mandalas were like flames.
The sword light dissipated in front of her, only blowing a wisp of her hair.
Unfortunately, Chongming had already disappeared from the spot.
Yaohua's face was full of unwillingness, but she felt relieved in her heart. As long as he could escape.
At the same time, she was also suspicious. Just now, Zhao Yue seemed to say that she had reached a cooperation with the God - Lord. What kind of cooperation was it?
The next day, she found an opportunity to inquire about this.
Zhao Yue lazily revealed the truth. "If the God - Lord weren't so stupid, how could we have attacked the Heavenly Realm so quickly..."
It turned out that the God - Lord had long felt that Chongming threatened his status and was very insecure. He took a risky move and cooperated with the demons. He originally wanted to deceive the demons, hoping to get rid of his arch - enemy Chongming and eliminate the demons at the same time.
Who would have thought that Zhao Yue took advantage of his leniency and directly captured the Heavenly Realm.
When Chongming came to rescue this time, it was also the God - Lord who informed the demons.
Yaohua couldn't help but be surprised. "Is the God - Lord out of his mind? Someone came to rescue him, but he actually informed the enemy."
Zhao Yue scoffed. "Think carefully. If Chongming showed his might and rescued him, what benefits would he get? Now that he's holed up in the palace, he can still maintain his dignity and deceive himself. But if the whole world knew that he was rescued by Chongming, wouldn't it prove that he's inferior to Chongming?"
Yaohua couldn't help but curse the God - Lord for being stupid and despicable in her heart. Thinking it over carefully, she felt a chill down her spine. In the secret realm, didn't the God - Lord use the same trick to make them and the demons fight each other to the point of mutual defeat?
Zhao Yue laughed. "Don't be fooled by his upright appearance. Actually, there's a demonic root in his heart. He hurt you. I'll avenge you!"
Yaohua couldn't help but ask curiously, "How will you avenge me?"
Seeing that Yaohua truly hated the God - Lord, Zhao Yue was quite pleased. "He's been in love with Tu Yang for a long time. Now I've filled the palace with demonic aura and told Tu Yang what he's done. They had a big fight and almost came to blows. Sooner or later, he'll turn into a demon."
"For a hypocritical person like him, turning into a demon might be the greatest punishment." Although Yaohua didn't like the God - Lord, if the God - Lord was gone, the other immortals in the palace would also be in danger.
Zhao Yue's punishment actually gave them time to rescue the God - Lord and the others.
Zhao Yue chatted with her for a while. It was already nap time when she finally returned to her palace exhausted.
On the bed, Zhao Wu propped his head up. "Come here quickly. I'll help you massage your face so you won't get a stiff smile."
Yaohua wrapped herself in a cloak and asked helplessly, "What happened after Master and the others returned?"
"I heard there was an internal strife." Zhao Wu thought for a while. "He failed to rescue the God - Lord and lost a lot of people. He's been widely scolded."
Yaohua frowned. "Master still has demonic aura in his heart and can't bear to be insulted. Help spread the truth so that everyone can see the God - Lord's true face."
On the other side, Chongming finally healed his injuries. As soon as he opened the door and walked out, he saw the sympathetic looks of the crowd.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"It turns out that the God - Lord has long colluded with the demons, which led to the fall of the entire Heavenly Realm!"
The God of War, Chen Yu, blurted out, "Such a stupid and evil person. Why keep him? We shouldn't rescue him."
The God of Culture, Wen Hua, shook his head and sighed. "We never thought that the God - Lord didn't want to be rescued by you. Instead, he tried to harm you. Maybe we should go and save the common people first."
Although the other immortals didn't say a word, their eyes showed the same disappointment.
Chongming's face darkened slightly. "Please don't believe unsubstantiated rumors. The God - Lord didn't harm me. He's been holding on in the Heavenly Realm and protecting the remaining immortals. They're all waiting for our rescue!"
