"You're looking for death."
Jiang Ningshu slowly got up, her eyes freezing cold like Su Luo's, and she maximized her pressure.
This time, it was Jiang Ningshu who stepped onto the steps one by one, approaching Su Luo.
Su Luo remained composed: "Don't pretend. I know you can't bring out your full strength."
"Laughable. I am the Demon Lord."
"Then try."
...
Jiang Ningshu stopped in front of Su Luo, staring at him for a long time before finally withdrawing her pressure.
"How did you know?"
"Hehe, that's not the point. The point is, if you don't want this matter exposed, you'd better listen to me." Su Luo had a look that said he had Jiang Ningshu in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Ningshu, however, showed no change in her expression as she said, "Tell me, what does it mean to listen to you? I'll consider it."
Huh? That's not right. You should say something like "Why should I listen to you?" What about your dignity as the Demon Lord?
But since she said that, Su Luo had no choice but to get straight to the point: "Stop summoning the Seven Disciples and stay in the Heavenly Demon Palace."
"Alright."
"You agree?"
This isn't right. So easily convinced? Demon Lord? You're not going to throw a fit? You're not going to resist?
And why does it feel like even when you're giving in, you're still confident? Who gave you that confidence?
"I agree, but what do you offer me?"
Jiang Ningshu took out another throne from her storage ring, elegantly sat down, and faced Su Luo.
"You didn't understand, did you? I'm threatening you. You have no right to negotiate."
"If that's the case, then go ahead and spread the news that I can't bring out my full strength."
Su Luo: ???
This isn't how I imagined it.
"Uh, why?"
"Because I don't accept your threat." Jiang Ningshu said firmly.
Su Luo had considered many scenarios, but he never expected the Demon Lord to refuse a threat.
This doesn't make sense!
"I really am going to tell everyone, you know."
"Go ahead."
Jiang Ningshu sat unmoved on her throne.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Yes, I'm afraid. So, can you not say anything?"
"Sure, follow my instructions, and I won't."
"If I follow your instructions, what do you give me?"
"I'm threatening you. Why should I give you anything?"
"I don't accept threats, but I can negotiate a deal with you."
In fact, Jiang Ningshu was also afraid of the truth being exposed, but based on the diary, Su Luo didn't want the plot to deviate.
That's why Jiang Ningshu could respond to the threat so resolutely and seize this opportunity to negotiate for a way to recover her strength.
Jiang Ningshu knew exactly what she needed, and she believed Su Luo was well aware of it.
If the offer wasn't satisfactory, Jiang Ningshu would refuse.
Su Luo thought for a moment. This wasn't exactly according to the plan. The Demon Lord hadn't become enraged, nor had she taken action. There was no reason to randomly beat her up.
Wait, why would I beat her up? Now she's proposing cooperation; skipping the violent step wouldn't affect anything.
After a long pause, Su Luo said, "I can help you recover your strength."
"How?"
"Aren't you at least going to doubt it?" Su Luo expected to have to demonstrate his power for her to believe him.
After all, what ability could a small Golden Core cultivator have to help the Demon Lord recover her strength? Such a ridiculous idea, who would believe it?
"I doubt it, but I can choose to try. Seeing is believing, and since you know my secret, you're clearly not an ordinary person."
Jiang Ningshu pretended to remain composed, but hearing Su Luo directly say he could help her recover her strength, her heart was already racing with excitement.
She had thought Su Luo would offer some trivial things to pacify her, making her refuse multiple times before finally presenting the real deal.
To her surprise, he was so straightforward. This Su Luo is quite nice.
"Then let's not waste time. Come here, I'll teach you."
Since the Demon Lord believed him, Su Luo didn't waste words. Originally, he thought it would take considerable effort to convince the Demon Lord, prepared with several plans, but none of them were needed.
However, the Demon Lord's immediate agreement saved a lot of trouble. It's good, but why was she so easily convinced? It's puzzling.
Oh well, better to finish this quickly and leave.
...
Soon, Su Luo finished his explanation.
In simple terms, the first step mainly involves circulating spiritual energy through several key acupoints and combining it with some special herbs as supplementary aids.
The Heavenly Tribulation within Jiang Ningshu's body constantly emitted some potency, affecting her.
The first step would enable Jiang Ningshu's body to endure the potency emitted by the Heavenly Tribulation, turning it from a hindrance to her strength into a boost.
The purpose of the first step was to fully absorb all the potency emitted by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Once the potency reached a certain level, it would stop spreading, leaving only the purest essence of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Then came the second step.
But Su Luo certainly wouldn't disclose that.
What Su Luo told Jiang Ningshu was only half of the first step, keeping the other half to buy time.
Jiang Ningshu tried it and found that she could indeed recover her strength, albeit only a little.
If there was enough time, it seemed entirely possible to recover her full strength.
Jiang Ningshu couldn't help but grab Su Luo's shoulders with both hands, smiling excitedly.
Though describing the smile as excitement was inaccurate, to maintain her image, Jiang Ningshu forced herself to smile.
If not for Su Luo's presence, she might have jumped for joy.
Su Luo pushed her hands away: "Now you understand, listen to me, and I'll help you recover your strength."
Jiang Ningshu composed herself, slightly calmer as she said, "It's a cooperation."
"Fine, fine, cooperation it is." Su Luo couldn't be bothered to argue, but one point still needed to be made clear to Jiang Ningshu.
"There's another half of this method. If you don't play tricks, I'll give it to you."
"Alright." Jiang Ningshu hadn't expected there to be more. She had thought Su Luo had finished explaining all three steps.
In hindsight, it wasn't possible. She had been too excited and forgotten that Su Luo wouldn't allow her to recover her strength too quickly.
But being able to recover even a little was already good. It would just have to be gradual.
If Jiang Ningshu knew that this half was only a small part of recovering her strength, she might be livid.
"Also, don't look for me randomly." Su Luo emphasized.
He was afraid that Jiang Ningshu, wanting to recover her strength as soon as possible, would start looking for him even more frequently than before.
"Then how do I contact you?"
"I'll come to you."
"Can you get in? This place isn't easy to enter."
"I have my methods."
In short, the Demon Lord couldn't contact him. It wasn't the right time yet.
And getting in wasn't difficult. Su Luo was too familiar with the Heavenly Demon Sect, left and right envoys, four heavenly demons.
With Su Luo's current strength, sneaking in wasn't a problem.
"Alright, but if it's been too long and you haven't come, I'll look for you."
No problem. In that case, cooperation is pleasant.
Su Luo extended his hand.
The Demon Lord didn't understand.
"Forgot you don't know how to shake hands. Well then, take back your throne, sit, and I'll be on my way."
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
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!
+【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.

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!!
