"Seeing as you're quite the demonic talent, this Sovereign will grant you an opportunity—henceforth, you shall serve as my slave," Gu Qingfeng declared with an air of magnanimity.
Demon Pu was utterly numb.
Not only had this man taken all his assets, but now he had to become a slave too!
"Enough dawdling. Swear your oath now."
"I won't—"
"Hmm?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Demon Pu immediately backtracked, "I—I'm not worthy, my lord!"
"Indeed, your qualifications fall short, but given our... history, this Sovereign shall make an exception. Now, swear your gratitude and allegiance."
Thud!
Demon Pu dropped to his knees once more and began reciting the oath, tears welling in his heart. Damn it all... I’m so miserable!
So this was the truth—after enduring hardship, there was no sweetness, only more bitterness.
......
Half an hour later.
"Master, this is the imperial palace of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. The Azure Demon Emperor resides within."
The Azure Demon Emperor? So he’s the ruler here.
Gu Qingfeng’s mind stirred. Back in the Eternal Dream, it was the Azure Demon Emperor who led the invasion of the Shadow Realm.
So the original’s here.
It made sense—the Shadow Realm wouldn’t fabricate a random demon for their test of loyalty.
Hehehe... At last, I’ll meet the living Azure Demon Emperor. Surely nothing will go wrong this time?
Beside him, Demon Pu shuddered at the sight of Gu Qingfeng’s signature grin—the very same one that had haunted his nightmares.
But now, he no longer feared nightmares.
Because the nightmare had become reality, standing right beside him.
"Master, at this hour, the Azure Demon Emperor should be in the White Fox Queen’s chambers. She’s renowned as the most beautiful vixen of the fox tribe, with unparalleled seductive arts. Lately, she’s ensnared the emperor’s heart—he visits her every night. If you wish to assassinate him, we should sneak in from the east and then—"
"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! COME OUT AND FACE ME!!"
A thunderous roar cut Demon Pu off mid-sentence.
Horror twisted Demon Pu’s face as he stared at Gu Qingfeng, who had just bellowed at the palace gates, then at the swarm of guards now mobilizing.
I’m doomed.
"M-Master... What are you—?" Demon Pu trembled like a leaf.
"Shh." Gu Qingfeng patted his shoulder. "Just standard procedure, no need to freak out."
Without another word, Gu Qingfeng strode toward the palace entrance, reverting to his true form and unleashing his unrestrained human aura.
"Who dares trespass upon the imperial—"
Boom!
A gatekeeping demon at the Grandmaster realm exploded into a mist of blood.
More armored demons surged forth like a steel tide, and soon, even Divine Realm demons joined the fray.
As their numbers swelled, Gu Qingfeng’s excitement became unbearable.
Electric waves of euphoria coursed through him, his blood boiling with such intensity that crimson veins spiderwebbed across his eyes, staining his gaze with madness.
At the forefront, a Divine Realm monkey demon wielding a metal staff led the charge.
The demon’s eyes widened before contorting in rage. "So it’s just a lowly human? How dare you defile the imperial palace!"
Instead of anger, Gu Qingfeng burst into maniacal laughter.
Hehehe... PERFECT! This is paradise! Why didn’t I come sooner? Is this all you’ve got? I need MORE! MORE!
His deranged grin mirrored that of a demon preparing to refine children into elixirs—chilling to the bone.
"Arrogant fool!" The monkey demon bellowed. "Formations! Take him alive!"
A flood of demons surged forward, their coordinated assault like an unstoppable tsunami.
Yet Gu Qingfeng walked toward them as if embracing the sea, arms wide, utterly defenseless.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Blades and claws rained upon him, sparks flying as metal shrieked against his skin.
Simultaneously, a relentless chime echoed in his mind.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
You have been attacked by the Ten Thousand Demons Slaughter Formation!
Defense +100+100+100...
Cultivation +100+100+100...
......
Gu Qingfeng’s grin widened. So this is the benefit of formations! Individually, these weaklings can’t boost my stats anymore, but combined, they reach Divine Realm potency.
The gains were modest, but with numbers like this—
Hehehe... Come on! Give me more!
But soon, his laughter died.
The stat increases were dwindling.
A quick glance revealed why—the demons around him were dropping like flies, their bodies shattered by the recoil of their own attacks.
"Damn useless trash! Hey, monkey! Call for reinforcements!"
The monkey demon roared in fury and leapt skyward, his staff descending like a meteor aimed at Gu Qingfeng’s skull.
CLANG!
The impact reverberated across the battlefield—followed by a scream.
"ARGH!"
The monkey was sent flying, his hands mangled, bones exposed.
"Pathetic! This is why I hate glass cannons—no endurance!" Gu Qingfeng spat.
Where are the real fighters? The Divine Realm elites? The guard dogs? COME OUT ALREADY!
To lure out stronger prey, Gu Qingfeng gathered his energy and bellowed, his voice shaking the palace:
"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! I HEARD YOUR WHITE FOX QUEEN IS THE FAIREST OF THE FOX TRIBE! WHY NOT SHARE HER WITH ME?"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
