Are you afraid of death? For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier. Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for. Even as he died, he only had a single regret. He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end. His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it. However, it should have ended right there. Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?! The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune! As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?! Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well! "Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?" Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched. It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together. "Why are you so nice to me?" “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed. “You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.” “I like you.” “I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again. “We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left. Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly. The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint! Cover art by: Cherlyswan
"We are in Nanxun city."
This answer was something Jie Fu Lian had expected to hear but at the same time, it was also a bit hard to believe.
He sighed as he took the medical herb and left the little shop. He tried to remember what had happened before he woke up here but the last thing he could recall was the woman blowing something onto his face.
After that, he passed out, and now, he woke up in the middle of a street.
After walking around for a few minutes, he learned something about this place. To be more accurate, he learned two things about this place. First, this was not Nanxun. Second, the people here were all corpse puppets.
When he put these two facts together, he immediately understood the situation that he was in.
He was trapped in an illusion or to be more exact, a dream.
After passing out in the brothel, he was yet to wake up.
