Chapter 315: The Furious Nether King

You You could hardly believe her eyes as she stared at the figure in the formation. The Nether King was actually Ning Rui?

But upon closer look, she noticed differences. Though identical in appearance, his entire aura differed completely. He radiated an overwhelming Presence distinct from the Nether Realm’s chill emitted by the Messenger. His energy felt more powerful and complex—a mix of dark energy and vibrant vitality, like life and death intertwined.

His mere appearance made resistance unthinkable. You You had never sensed such might before. Feng Rong and Yuan Qi instinctively stepped back, fighting the urge to kneel.

The World fell silent as if frozen. When the formation finished, he opened his eyes.

His casual gaze held indifferent authority, unrecognizable from the cheerful Ning Rui they knew. This face now seemed to command life and death itself—distant as mountains, untouchable as the moon.

One glance confirmed it: he was undeniably the Nether King.

Confusion flickered across his face before vanishing. He coldly scanned the room—first the kneeling Messenger, then Feng Rong and Yuan Qi—before locking onto You You.

His gaze halted. Eyebrows furrowing, his detached expression cracked as a booming voice erupted:

"What the HELL’S wrong with you?!" The shout nearly blew the roof off.

The majestic aura shattered instantly. Furious, he jabbed a finger at You You. "I was SLEEPING! Why drag me here? Bored? Go harass your own lackeys! Think I won’t punch you just ’cause I can’t win? MORON!"

You You: "…"

Feng Rong: "…"

Yuan Qi: "…"

What happened to the dignified Nether King? Why was he cursing HER? Since when were they acquainted?

The Messenger hastily interjected, "Master, the Noble Lady may have reincarnated like you. She hasn’t awakened yet."

"Huh?" The Nether King paused, scrutinizing You You. He circled her twice. "You really don’t remember me?"

You You stepped back, clasping her fists. "Greetings, Nether King."

"WHAT?!" He leapt back like scalded. "Since when do YOU bow? Still hiding your powers? Plotting something? I’M NOT FOOLED!" He glared, oozing distrust.

"Honestly," You You blurted, "I don’t know you or your connection to Ning Rui." His body was Ning Rui’s, yet clearly not.

"Ning Rui?" He blinked. "Oh—my reincarnation. We’re the SAME. I’d still be him if YOU hadn’t meddled!" His Mortal Realm vacation ruined, memories sealed to avoid detection—and they’d WOKEN him!

Glowering, he demanded, "Why drag me here?"

"My Disciples," You You pressed. "They guarded the Demon Realm seal, got poisoned by Demonic Energy. Only a sliver of vitality remains. The Messenger said you’re their only hope."

"You woke me…to save OTHERS?!" His eyes bulged. "From DEMONIC ENERGY?"

"Yes. Please help."

"Are you BRAINDEAD?!" He grabbed her head, shaking it. "Seems intact!"

"Stop that!" Feng Rong slapped his hands away, shielding You You.

"THERE’S the spirit!" The Nether King nodded approvingly at Feng Rong.

"We had no choice," You You pleaded. "Name your price—we’ll do anything."

"Living long enough to see THIS…" He circled her, smirk widening. "Fine! Call me ‘Big Brother’ sincerely, and I’ll help…"

"Big Brother!" she shouted instantly.

He froze.

"Dearest Big Brother! Kindest, greatest Big Brother! Those injured are my brothers—so they’re YOURS too! Save them, Big Brother!" She gripped his shoulders, eyes shining.

Nether King: "…"

Why did this feel like a scam…against HIM?

"You…really don’t remember?" Annoyed yet trapped by his own words, he growled, "Where are they?"

You You brightened. "This way, Big Brother! Right here, Big Brother!"

"…" This definitely backfired.
