Chapter 547: The Enchanting Shadow of the Demon Emperor

Calmed Ying Mu to sleep.

Chao Lu also sat nearby.

The puppet’s five senses were simulated by the soul. Bai Wei smelled the floral scent on her body. Can you believe that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom also has shower gel?

The saying that girls have a natural scent is fake. Even if a girl is beautiful, you can’t smell anything on her, and if there is any fragrance, it’s just the smell of perfume, shower gel, and soap. But the demonic clan is different, they indeed have some odor on their bodies.

Nalan Qingshu had a faint warmth on her body, she didn’t need hand warmers in winter.

Chao Lu had a ethereal mountain-like scent, as if walking on a path covered in frozen dew in the early morning.

Ying Mu, as a dragon clan member, showed a more dragon-like character than Xue Hanlei, always surrounded by automatically regulated moisture.

However, they didn’t have any smell on their bodies. After smelling the floral fragrance, Bai Wei actually felt like sneezing.

"She has also been exhausted, and hasn’t rested much."

Chao Lu reached out her hand and gently stroked Ying Mu’s forehead. The dragon was really asleep, with her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.

Bai Wei didn’t even need to argue, Chao Lu and Ying Mu’s relationship remained strong throughout the journey, which allowed her to gain another friend.

It must be said that Chao Lu belonged to the type who could make people like her just by standing still and smiling.

It cannot be denied that she used to be a decorative object, but a brave one at that.

She has a very attractive appearance, lacking in strength, average intelligence, but overflowing with charisma, as if she possessed mesmerizing eyes.

If we were to point out her biggest flaw, it might be her lack of skills. Because of her lack of skills, anything she says is useless. In a world where strength is everything, her kind and virtuous qualities became her downfall, causing her to be left behind.

If she is strong enough, she will have plenty of friends, just need to repeat the three steps of ‘treating guests, beheading, and accepting as a dog’ constantly.

People always say that nobody is perfect, keeping flaws is a good thing, but now even this weakness is rapidly being made up for.

Bai Wei glanced at her head, if it wasn’t for being expressionless like a puppet, his eyes would have turned white and his hands and feet would have turned cold.

[Demon Emperor’s Phantom][Overall level: 41]

Liu Xiaowan! What did you do while I was away?

Oh my goodness, you can’t do that!

I used to think I made a little profit, but now the crystal at the base exploded, and I’m in trouble!

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chao Lu noticed that Bai Wei clenched his fist, as if he was about to punch someone in their dreams, "Do you still have lingering effects from your injury?"

"I… I’m fine." Bai Wei tried to act tough, then asked, "How much do you know about Third Princess’ situation?"

"Ying Mu and I have talked about it." Chao Lu replied, "I’ve also had conversations with her, but I’m still not clear why Third Princess is targeting you."

This involves the history of Europa, Bai Wei advised, "Let’s keep it a secret."

Chao Lu obediently nodded, "Okay, I won’t ask."

You’re being so obedient… Is this really the same Liu Xiaowan who used to challenge me? Are you sure your account wasn’t hacked?

Bai Wei looked left and right, "Do you have something else to tell me?"

Chao Lu nodded quietly, "Yes, there is something."

Bai Wei asked cautiously, "What is it about?"

"Liu Xiaowan." Chao Lu asked softly, "Do you remember this name?"

Sitting on the sickbed, Bai Wei sat up, "I remember."

"How much do you remember?"

"A lot." Bai Wei replied vaguely, "But not too much."

"I don’t remember a lot either." Chao Lu whispered, "I also met her in my memories."

Bai Wei lay back down, "You met her, and then what? What did she say?"

"She just told me some stories, and then she said," Chao Lu said, "I am Liu Xiaowan."

Bai Wei sat up and asked, "Are you now?"

"In the next life," Chao Lu added the last three words.

Bai Wei did sit-ups and said, "…try not to pant when you speak."

Chao Lu laughed and said, "I just wanted to test you. You still remember her and you’re still afraid of her, aren’t you?"

"That’s a joke. I’m not afraid of anyone," Bai Wei paused and said, "I just respect her."

"Do you still feel guilty?"

"Do you still feel indebted?"

"So that’s why you came to save me in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom," Chao Lu leaned on the puppet’s shoulder and said slowly, "Because of the debts from our past lives, to be repaid in this life?"

"Yes," Bai Wei answered without hesitation, he couldn’t hide it anymore.

"I knew it," Chao Lu said helplessly, "Did you remember since our first meeting? Why didn’t you tell me and kept it from me for so long?"

"How can I say it when you ask me to? " Bai Wei smiled bitterly, "You have to figure it out yourself. Besides, I don’t want you to remember those things. It’s better for you to be Princess Bai Ze. Why do you have to recall the hardships of your past life?"

"Hard? " Chao Lu asked confusedly, she raised her gaze and asked, "Where was it hard?"

Bai Wei said, "All love brings pain."

"I don’t feel the pain, it’s her who suffers while I enjoy the sweetness," Chao Lu said without guilt or resentment, "Liu Xiaowan is Liu Xiaowan, I am myself. She no longer exists, or rather, she has become a part of me. I haven’t actually experienced it, so I don’t feel any hardship. I just feel… she finally found happiness after suffering."

Bai Wei asked in surprise, "You don’t hate?"

"I don’t hate," Chao Lu said, "Even if there was some hatred, it was only a small part. Even Liu Xiaowan, she only occasionally hated him. Most of the time, she loved and cared for him… In the end, love and hate came to an end, and what remained was us. We have become more genuine and no longer need to bear the responsibilities of our past lives. I have let go, but it seems like you haven’t."

Bai Wei said, "You’re talking about the result. If I let go and don’t care about you, would you still be so open-minded after knowing the truth?"

Chao Lu closed her eyes and stubbornly said, "I won’t speculate like this, it’s a meaningless assumption. Why should I imagine myself suffering alone and facing a non-existent past? Reality is that you’re already here, right now. So, I don’t hate, on the contrary, I love you to death."

Bai Wei shivered and said, "Don’t say that line."

In your previous life, you truly loved me to death.

Chao Lu understood and said, "Do you still see me as her?"

"No."

"Yes, deep down, you still have these thoughts, even if you say otherwise. You think of me as Liu Xiaowan, but I…"

"If you insist on saying that you’re not her, then there’s no connection between us." Bai Wei turned his head and stared at the girl. "If I could easily let go of these debts and guilt, weigh everything on a scale, then I wouldn’t need to stay by your side."

Chao Lu opened her mouth, sighed, and said, "Okay, I am her." She regained her composure and said, "And I can have a future that she never had."

Bai Wei said, "I am pessimistic about that."

"Because we were unable to be together in our previous lives? Exactly because of that, we must overcome all obstacles," Chao Lu said seriously. "In the past, I didn’t know how you saw me, so I felt anxious. But now I don’t need to feel that way anymore, because our past has already been bound, and our future has already been predetermined… She once said we would meet again in the next life, and here we are, isn’t this fate? Isn’t this a miracle?"

Bai Wei remained speechless… If it were just you, it could indeed be fate or a miracle. But the problem is, there is more than just you.

Bai Wei recited, "Three feet of body, already promised to the country, cannot promise you again."

Chao Lu said earnestly, "Promised to the country, and then promised to you. There is no enmity between humans and demons here."

Bai Wei said, "… I haven’t agreed to it yet."

Chao Lu worriedly exclaimed, "I do have a strong sense of possessiveness. I’m afraid I can’t agree to you marrying multiple wives, and I don’t have any good sisters either."

Bai Wei shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, you are not like her. If it were Liu Xiaowan, she would have put a sword to my brother’s throat directly."

Chao Lu looked at Ying Mu and said, "I probably can’t accept Little Green Pepper, but maybe her suggestion could work? Or Michelle, but she is a European…"

Bai Wei covered her mouth and said, "You’re starting to talk nonsense again."

He looked down at the dragon maiden, who was still sleeping but had turned red in the face, tsk…

Chao Lu held her chin and said, "I can’t wait for those wonderful days."

Bai Wei’s tone became serious, "The sun always comes after the storm. The tough days are not over yet. It’s good to have dreams and be optimistic. Maybe it’s just because you haven’t lost enough yet. This isn’t over."

Princess Bai Ze became quiet for a moment and said, "I know, so…" She let go of his hand and asked earnestly, "Will you go save her?"

"It’s also to fulfill my initial promise and achieve the original goal."

"But even if you go, it won’t change anything. That’s Lord Ba Xia, along with a whopping two hundred thousand troops."

"I never said I was going to fight." Bai Wei shook his head. "Fighting isn’t my concern. What I need to do is get reinforcements."

"But where can we find reinforcements in Ba State and Liu State?"

"There are some," Bai Wei recited. "I will gather my old comrades and 100,000 flags to conquer the underworld."
