Demons were the unique creatures of this world. They would only age when they were about to die, and after they reached adulthood, their appearance would always remain young.

Suddenly seeing the old Demon King, Long Yao was also somewhat surprised.

He had never expected that Long Qi would go to such extent for him. He actually didn't even reserve any life-saving demonic power for himself. He used the method of exchanging life for life method to give all his demonic power to him.

"You are back."

Long Qi was already somewhat unable to stand steadily. Whether it was his wrinkled skin or his dim eyes, it was clear that this demon was about to return to the embrace of the earth.

However, when he narrowed his eyes and saw Long Yao safe and sound, a little bit of light appeared in his eyes, and he strenuously smiled at his son.

The eyes of Long Yi were very red, but he didn't dare to move while supporting the old Demon King, fearing that he would injure this fragile old man.

"Master, His Majesty Demon King, I am afraid …"

Long Yi couldn't bear to say the fact that the former peak expert was about to fall.

Long Yao ignored him, rather looked at Demon King Long Qi and said, "You don't have much time, do you want to see your mother for the last time?"

Long Qi opened his mouth, and after a long time, he asked, "You, you saw your mother?"

"Yes." Long Yao said, "Qiu Mo sealed her soul in the space-time demonic mirror, do you want to go in and see her?"

Long Qi silently digested for a while, then understood the meaning of his words.

If he wanted to see Mo Yan, then he had to enter the space-time demonic mirror, and what this meant, no one in this world knew better than the Demon King who was the guardian of the secret treasure of the Demon Race.

However, he didn't have anything to hesitate about.

He already didn't have much time left, wasn't it? If he could use his remaining life to let Mo Yan vent her anger, then it wouldn't be a waste.

Demon King Long Qi nodded his head, then pushing away Long Yi, Long Yao stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the demonic mirror."

Long Yao handed over the space-time demonic mirror to him, then he dripped his blood on the mirror without hesitation and said the oath of selling his soul.

"I am willing to offer my soul to enter your space-time and obtain eternal life."

The blood was absorbed by the space-time demonic mirror, and his identity appeared on the dim mirror — — "Demon King Long Qi", then the contract was established.

In the next instant, he disappeared from where he stood.

Long Yao caught the falling space-time magic mirror, and Long Yi muttered: "Master, you and His Majesty Demon King, this … …" Before he could recover from his shock, even his master Long Yao also disappeared into that evil space-time magic mirror.

This time, Long Yi had the heart to die.

Within a day, both the Demon King and the Demon King's life and death were unknown. How chaotic would the two races be without a leader?!

What the hell is going on …

Unfortunately, no one understood Long Yi's craziness.

In the Demon Mirror Time Space.

Monster King Long Qi and Mo Yan looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

In the end, it was Long Qi who broke the silence. With a smile on his face, he said, "Mo Yan, long time no see. You're still so beautiful."

The casual greeting brought Mo Yan back to her senses. She looked at Long Qi expressionlessly. She wanted to sneer but couldn't, which made her look a little funny.

She said, "I didn't expect that you would have such a ghostly appearance."

She had imagined many scenes of their reunion. In those imaginations, the Monster King Long Qi would always be as arrogant as he was now, and not as old and weak as he was now, as if she could poke him to death with a single finger.

Mo Yan suddenly felt bored and said indifferently, "It seems that in this world, there are also things that you, Long Qi, care about. For him, you can go to this extent, truly … … touching. "

She glanced at Long Yao who had returned to the side of Gou Liang. Her eyes were ice-cold, and there was a little bit of jealousy and hatred mixed with even more confusion and silence. It was complicated to the extreme.

Monster King Long Qi said in a low voice, "After all, he is the only thing you left for me."

"Heh."

Mo Yan smiled indifferently, which made Long Qi unable to say a lot of things.

Gou Liang looked left and right, and seeing that they were cosplaying as statues again, he said, "You two have plenty of time to reminisce in the future, please allow me to disturb you."

He looked at Mo Yan, "We've already done what you asked. When will you fulfill your promise?"

"I don't know where he is, so I can only wait for him to come find me. If he doesn't want me to be his successor, there's nothing I can do. "

Mo Yan said irresponsibly, as if she was certain that they couldn't do anything to her. She didn't even try to hide her ugly manner of burning the bridge after crossing the river.

Gou Liang was angry and was about to retort when Long Yao stopped him.

Long Yao was not angered by Mo Yan, and only reminded her, "Father won't live for many days."

The ones who should be worried now were not them.

Regardless of whether Mo Yan had brought Long Qi to this space-time to imprison him and torture him for revenge or something else, she first had to ensure that Long Qi had his life to accompany her. Only when Mo Yan became the Mirror Demon could she extend Long Qi's life indefinitely and control his life as she wished.

Mo Yan pursed her lips. At this point, Gou Liang actually saw a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

That was why it was said that when a woman encountered love, even a woman's heart would soften.

Long Qi didn't understand what they were talking about, but he also sensed that his situation was not good.

However, he was fearless because he was going to die anyway, so he could still talk and laugh freely to Mo Yan, "I have a lot of things to say to you. Ah Yan, I owe you an apology and an explanation. I didn't expect that I would be able to make up for this regret in my lifetime."

He walked shakily towards Mo Yan, as if he had no consciousness of his unbearably old appearance. He still thought that he was a handsome demon king whose hormones were bursting out and had conquered thousands of girls. He reached out to grab Mo Yan's hand.

Mo Yan avoided him in disgust, but Long Qi didn't show any sadness. He said with a smile, "Why don't you let the two children leave and we can talk alone?"

Mo Yan looked at Long Qi mockingly, "You really think highly of yourself."

Did he think that he was the demon king who could make her lose her head by selling his looks? Did he want to use her in exchange for the lives of two young juniors? Heh, she had already experienced enough of this kind of overconfident and clumsy trick.

Long Qi looked a little distressed and gave Long Yao a look that said, "I tried my best."

Gou Liang didn't quite appreciate the old man's humor and complained to Long Yao, "So what do you say now?"

Long Yao looked around. He hadn't been able to sense the location of the other half of Gou Liang's soul in this space-time, which was why he had been dealing with Mo Yan for so long. However, he still couldn't sense the existence of the other half of Gou Liang's soul.

Long Yao couldn't help but frown as he looked at Mo Yan, "What exactly is the one-year buffer period? Is he conscious at this time? Explain clearly."

Mo Yan wasn't too sure about "Gou Liang's" current situation. Logically speaking, although the mirror demon was imprisoned in this space-time, he had absolute freedom in a sense. Nothing that happened in this world could escape his eyes and ears. He should have known about their deal long ago and taken the initiative to find her to be his scapegoat.

However, he didn't react at all. This was very strange.

Mo Yan said this useless truth and said, "If he doesn't come to find me, there's nothing I can do."

If they couldn't find a scapegoat within the one-year time limit, they would have to wait a hundred years. However …

She looked at Long Qi. Let alone a hundred years or a year, this old thing probably couldn't even wait a day.

Mo Yan's face darkened. She didn't want to take revenge on this Demon King Long Qi, but if she just watched Long Qi die without a conclusion, Mo Yan would also die of frustration.

She looked at Gou Liang and said unhappily, "Isn't that half of your soul? Can't you sense where it is?"

Gou Liang shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry. At most, I'll wait a hundred or two hundred years, as long as you don't break the contract."

Mo Yan, "…"

Long Yao didn't care about their tit for tat. Long Qi said tiredly, "Can you let me finish? I don't want to take them to hell."

"What does it have to do with me!"

Mo Yan glared at him. She clenched her fists and her expression was very awkward. She wanted to punch him in the face and kill him, but she also felt that it would be too easy on this old thing.

Long Qi sighed. Seeing that no one intended to listen to his last words seriously, he had no choice but to continue speaking.

He looked at this space-time that was no different from the world he had lived in for thousands of years and said in a reminiscing tone, "Actually, I was born here."

He was a qualified storyteller. With one sentence, he piqued everyone's interest and drew their attention to him.

Even Long Yao showed a slightly stunned expression. He hadn't paid attention to the Demon King Long Qi's life before, so this was the first time he had heard of this.

Long Qi smiled and said, "No need to be so surprised."

"Although there aren't many people in this world who know about the existence of the Demon Race's secret treasure, there are still quite a few. Naturally, there are some people who can trade with the Space-Time Demon Mirror."

"My birth mother is one of them."

Long Qi calmly talked about this unknown past.

History seemed to repeat itself. His birth mother, a Royal Demon Spirit, and his father, a Demon King, fell in love.

Unfortunately, their feelings could not be hidden from the world. At the time, the Demon King discovered this forbidden relationship and used his birth mother to lure the Demon King into a trap, using the Demon Prison to seal him.

"My mother did not listen to the Demon King's advice. She thought of a way and finally heard from her clansmen that there was another secret treasure as mysterious as the Demon Prison, the Space-Time Demon Mirror. She naively thought that this was the key to opening the Demon Prison and releasing the Demon King. "

Long Qi sighed sadly. "You should have guessed that she made a deal with the Space-Time Demon Mirror."

She entered the world of the Space-Time Demon Mirror and started to search for the Demon King, wanting to take him away.

She found him as she wished, but she did not know that the Demon King was just a replica created by the Space-Time Demon Mirror. After learning that they could only be trapped in this world forever and could not leave, she did not regret it. She only wanted to stay here with the Demon King for the rest of her life.

She lived a happy and peaceful life and even became pregnant with the replica Demon King's child.

At that time, the Demon King who was truly imprisoned had already become the Space-Time Demon Mirror's Demon Mirror.

He was jealous of his replica, pained that his lover was unable to discover the truth, and hated that he could not change the facts. Finally, not long after Long Qi was born, under the stimulation of the family of three, he controlled the law to destroy the replica's existence. He froze his lover so that she could stay by his side, even if she could only sleep forever.

Originally, he could not tolerate Long Qi's existence, but Long Qi had perfectly inherited the Demon King and his lover's good looks and genes. In a sense, he was the crystallization of their love. The Demon King could not destroy him, so he sent Long Qi back to the 'real' world.

"In the end, he still hates me."

Long Qi said. "Before he sent me away, he met me as my father. He told me that if I wanted to revive him and my mother, I could only find the strongest person in the real world and use that person's soul to exchange for their life and freedom. "

Hearing him say this, what else did Mo Yan not understand?

She was undoubtedly the strongest person chosen by Long Qi.

"So … … You approached me from the beginning because you wanted to send me here to replace your so-called father as the Demon Mirror?"

Mo Yan asked him, her tone extremely calm. It was unknown if she was completely unable to accept this fact or if she had completely given up.

A trace of pain appeared in Long Qi's old and turbid eyes. He paused for a long time before saying, "That's right, I inherited his demon blood. I am a despicable and shameless demon from head to toe."

Ironically, a demon like him had also inherited the demonic beast bloodline from his mother and become the King of the Demonic Beast Race.

At that time, Long Qi only had one belief in his life, the obsession and naivety of a child wanting to return to his father and mother's side.

He struggled for hundreds of years in the Demonic Beast Race and finally killed the original culprit, the previous Demonic Beast King. He took revenge for his parents and inherited the position of Demonic Beast King. He began to search for someone who could replace his father as the Demon Mirror.

This candidate was undoubtedly the Demon King, Mo Yan, who stood proudly in the world at that time and was even stronger than him.

He used himself as bait, pretending to be defeated and reduced to become food for Mo Yan. His identity as the Demonic Beast King was undoubtedly another great stimulus to Mo Yan besides his delicious spiritual power. Therefore, Mo Yan did not seal his consciousness, but continued to humiliate him and eat him to gain a sense of accomplishment.

Long Qi only wanted to numb Mo Yan's nerves and seal her into a demon prison, but Mo Yan never thought that she would fall in love with such a stubborn and graceful man in the process.

Sensing Mo Yan's feelings, Long Qi naturally found a shortcut to achieve his goal.

Therefore, he played an emotional game with Mo Yan, making Mo Yan unable to extricate herself and thinking that she could protect her heart.

However, Long Yao's achievements were beyond everyone's expectations.

He would never forget the stormy waves in his heart when Mo Yan excitedly told him that she was pregnant. Perhaps at that time, he had already felt the powerlessness of fate.

As the product of the union between a demon and a demon, Long Qi himself was also a victim of the separation of his flesh and blood. He could not let his child be buried in the demon mirror together with Mo Yan. Therefore, he delayed his plan and waited until Long Yao was born before he made a move on Mo Yan.

And in those years when he accompanied Mo Yan to wait for birth, he lost his heart and tasted the bitter consequences.

"I used the demon prison to send you here, and sure enough, I saw my parents again."

Long Qi said softly, "He was very surprised that I actually did it. In fact, he said that just to make my life more tiring and not so happy. He told me the truth, that I was a child who was not expected, and that he hated me as much as he hated replicas. Then, he took my mother and died in front of me. "

He could not continue and paused for a long time.

Gou Liang and the other two were silent. After a moment, Mo Yan's mouth twitched and she said, "That really makes people sympathize with you."

Long Qi looked at her, the pain in his eyes so intense that it almost materialized, making it impossible to ignore, but when he spoke, he still smiled lightly.

"Yes, I'm very sorry."

Long Qi raised his thin hand to touch Mo Yan, but he hesitated and took it back, leaving only a sigh.

"Ah Yan," he said, "In fact, you don't have to care. If you want to punish and take revenge on me, you don't have to do anything extra, because I have already received the punishment I deserve these years. I think of you every day … "

Long Qi paused and then said self-deprecatingly, "After killing you with my own hands, I found that I love you as much as you love me. It's very deep, and it's not a past that can be forgotten in a hundred or a thousand years … For me, there is no punishment more severe than this. And now, all I can give you is my life, which I think you don't care about. "

Long Qi said helplessly.

If he could live a little longer, he would be very willing to let Mo Yan do whatever she wanted to him to relieve the bitterness in his heart. However, he could not even do this.

Mo Yan raised her head high, as arrogant as a noble queen who could not be offended, but the weight in her eyes was not allowed to fall.

She tried her best to maintain this posture and sneered, "Do you think this is enough? Long Qi, let me tell you, if you want to die, it won't be so easy. "

As she spoke, she looked at Gou Liang, her expression stiff and strange. She shouted at him, "You still haven't found it? Isn't that the other half of your soul? Is it so hard to find?"

"I don't care what method you use, don't forget our contract. It was you who gave him to me and let me torture him. If he lives, our deal will be valid. If he dies, then you can pray for your own good. Oh, I probably forgot to tell you that someone who has already been a Mirror Demon cannot be forced to be a scapegoat again unless they are willing. "

Mo Yan's tone was still out of control. Tears streamed down her face, but even she did not understand why she was crying.

Long Qi could not bear it, "Ah Yan …"

"Shut up!"

Mo Yan shouted at him, refusing his approach and taking a step back.

Gou Liang sighed and exchanged a look with Long Yao. Long Yao shook his head, indicating that he also could not find the whereabouts of the other half of the soul. He could only spread his hands and express his helplessness to Mo Yan.

In the mindspace, the System had long been so tortured by this abusive relationship that it was biting its handkerchief. It whimpered and called out to its owner who had run away from home, complaining that this guy always dropped the ball at crucial moments. How could he be absent from such an occasion?

Just as it was whimpering, it heard a voice say, "Looking for me, burp!"

The person who spoke let out a loud burp. The System was so scared that it quivered and exploded on the spot!

When it turned its head and saw that it was its owner, its little heart that had jumped to its throat finally calmed down. Just as it was about to ask Gou Liang why he had run in instead of watching from the outside, it opened its mouth and let out a burp. It was definitely scared.

It was Gou Liang who was outside who reacted first. He went back into the mindspace and came face to face with the half of himself who was lying paralyzed on the ground with a round belly and burping.

"Why are you here?"

Gou Liang looked at the bulging belly with disdain. He did not want to admit that this guy was him at all.

"Gou Liang" looked up at him and raised his hand. "Too much nonsense burp. Hurry up and share the burp!"

Gou Liang looked at him for three seconds, then reluctantly walked over to the guy whose stomach was about to explode from eating.

Fuse. The next moment —

[Ding! The Executor's favorability towards the target has been updated. Current favorability: 100!]

After receiving the notification, Long Yao knew that Gou Liang's missing soul had returned. He looked at Gou Liang in surprise and was hugged tightly. He heard him cry out pitifully, "Hubby, my tongue is broken, sob sob sob!"

Long Yao: "…"

What he wanted to say turned into a laugh. Fortunately, he managed to hold it back in time and did not let the narrow-minded Gou Liang notice that he was acting out.

Seeing him climb onto his body, Long Yao lifted Gou Liang up by his butt and completed the lazy hug. He touched his face and found that it was wet. It was not because he was acting and asking for a hug, but because he was really sad. His eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Long Yao asked with heartache, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Gou Liang spilled out the beans of his deceptive experience.
