Chapter 403: Suffering a Bit

At this moment, the Darkness Origin really couldn’t hold back the urge to off An Li.

What a lunatic!

What kind of women does Lu Ye find?

But they really needed An Li to deal with Lu Ye; in the last life, they had clashed as well. Lu Ye was too capable; any tricks were just child’s play for him.

No deadly trap could catch him.

Only those eight women could seriously hurt him; no one else stood a chance!

An Li was the greatest threat to Lu Ye, both before and after rebirth.

So, how many options did the Darkness Origin have left?

Yue Hongling was out; she was completely immune to temptations now.

She really seemed to regret it.

Even though Zhuque had sided with him, Zhuque was too kind-hearted. The way An Li was now, leading a whole bunch of demons to surround and attack Lu Ye, Zhuque would never do that.

Shangguan Huanling?

Not a chance!

That left only Yin Qingcheng.

But the problem was that Yin Qingcheng was a complete nutjob!

If they asked her to help tackle Lu Ye, she would absolutely team up with Lu Ye against him!

Because in Yin Qingcheng’s view, only she could take on Lu Ye, and anyone else trying to deal with Lu Ye was her enemy.

In her past life, she felt Lu Ye had too many lives and couldn’t handle him alone, so she teamed up with others.

Meaning, the only choice left for the Darkness Origin was An Li.

And damn, An Li was actually useful!

The Darkness Origin took a deep breath.

“Apologize to me!”

An Li screeched with a piercing voice!

The Darkness Origin thought it should take a step back; it could seek revenge later!

When Lu Ye was truly dead, it would cook up something special for An Li, making her realize she was dealing with the Darkness Origin, not some random nobody!

Just wait!

Just you wait!

But speaking of which, Lu Ye in his previous life managed to find eight women on par with this one, and now that it was just up close with one, it felt that suffocating presence.

Celestial Lord, impressive!

“Apologize!”

“I’m sorry!”

The Darkness Origin ultimately backed down.

It had no idea that its retreat might mean a lifetime of it!

An Li exhaled a breath of resentment.

“Darkness Origin, you should know—we’ve never been in a subordinate relationship. You want to kill Lu Ye to achieve Heavenly Dao, I want thrills and excitement. I aspire to become a saint, but I’m not obsessed with it; I can die at any moment. If you think of me as your subordinate or puppet, you’re dead wrong!”

“I am forever myself!”

“You and I are equals!”

The Darkness Origin didn’t reply.

Now wasn’t the time for that; just wait, we’ll see!

In fact, An Li had other words she didn’t say, because in her view, she and the Darkness Origin weren’t just equal; the Darkness Origin was the one begging her to kill Lu Ye, help it eliminate threats and obstacles!

And her?

She had already played the Nine Lives Celestial Lord into a rebirth; wasn’t that enough excitement?

It’s just death, right?

When she was furious, dying felt trivial!

However, An Li quickly regained her composure.

She sensed something was off.

She had just been too angry, too carried away.

She had always had this problem—when she got mad, everything goes haywire.

Consequences?

Who cares about consequences?

But once she calmed down, she would regret it and swear not to do it again, only to end up doing it next time anyway.

Now, with her clarity restored, An Li’s heart sank!

Because the target of her earlier fury wasn’t Lu Ye, but the Darkness Origin.

Now, the Darkness Origin surely bore a murderous intent against her; the only reason it hadn’t acted against her was that it hadn’t found anyone else to target Lu Ye yet.

Once it did.

Or if Lu Ye died.

What awaited her?

No need to think.

Sigh… the Darkness Origin wasn’t Lu Ye; Lu Ye could tolerate her loss of sanity—no matter how dismissive she got, he could endure.

Now, both Lu Ye wanted to kill her, and the Darkness Origin bore a grudge against her.

How thrilling!

No way, she had to find a solution, and soon, An Li came up with an idea.

She could try using the same tactics she employed against Lu Ye in her past life on the Darkness Origin—constantly suppressing it, continuously instilling beneficial thoughts into its mind. As for whether it would work, let’s try first!

The Darkness Origin wouldn’t kill her now.

These thoughts flashed through An Li’s mind in the blink of an eye.

“You must remember—always remember, Lu Ye is capable of everything. He only stumbles when facing us eight!”

“If Lu Ye remains, with his current connection to the Heavenly Dao, he’ll definitely help the Heavenly Dao erase you!”

“It’s you who needs me!”

“If it weren’t to help you, I wouldn’t have reached out this time after my rebirth.”

“Because Lu Ye wouldn’t hate me, as long as I don’t make a move against him; I could go anywhere and be fine. Facing Lu Ye head-on is entirely for you!”

“I was just out of line earlier; the last time I overreacted in the previous life, Lu Ye would soothe me. You shouldn’t hold my actions against me when I was angry!”

An Li laid down a lengthy speech to the Darkness Origin.

Lu Ye saw this scene unfold in the battle.

To be honest, even after rebirth, Lu Ye couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

That state was all too familiar to Lu Ye.

Even a bit frightening.

Last life, when An Li went mad, she really was reckless, hysterical, and did not care about the circumstances—she directly struck at the most painful parts of your soul!

Knowing he was guarding the Great Dao, she could say your guarding Dao was the most useless because it couldn’t guard anything.

Knowing Lu Ye lacked love, she could say he deserved to be unloved because he didn’t even know how to love.

In any scene, in front of anyone, whenever she erupted, she would lose all face, lose her life, lose everything; her fury completely took over her thoughts.

Thank goodness this time, her madness wasn’t aimed at him, and fortunately, this life he wasn’t lacking love anymore, and he wasn’t practicing that embarrassing Great Dao either.

If An Li went mad at him again, and Lu Ye didn’t kill her a hundred times, that would be too weak!

But this way, isn’t the Darkness Origin the one suffering?

Let it suffer a bit! Let it suffer a bit!

All the misery was what the Darkness Origin deserved.

Time continued to pass.

The Heartless Demon Lord’s eyes were already glazed.

So many demon warriors had died.

Still killing, still killing…

This time, Lu Ye truly, absolutely couldn’t hold on anymore.

He had used up all the True Essence formed from the Dan药 he took.

He had only one pill left.

It was time to leave; with just one Celestial Lord Fist, Lu Ye had a chance to escape,

Unfortunately… he failed to chase down An Li; the demon tide was indeed terrifying.

Oh well…
