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
"Yin Ru, do you want to personally kill the child that you have looked after for so long?"
Yin Ru gulped as she heard this question and for a second there, she panicked, not knowing what to do.
"W-Why would I be proven guilty? I did nothing wrong!" Jie Fu Lian desperately tried to defend himself as he shouted.
"Jie Ming, you are right. You did nothing wrong," Jie Yang Zan sighed as he spoke, "I am the one who was wrong."
"Eh?"
"I should have never brought you here. I should have never raised you like this."
Jie Fu Lian felt his heart ache as he heard these words. He didn't know what he had done wrong and he couldn't help but feel as if he was being abandoned.
"Jie Ming, please take this money and run away. Run away and don't let them catch you. As your father, this is the only thing I can do for you right now."
