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
Instead of giving the man a reply, he turned around and ran towards Jie Fu Lian.
Jie Fu Lian smirked as he lifted his sword, "Running to your own death? I like this version of you, brother Jin Long."
Jin Long stopped in the middle and felt a little terrified as he looked at the expression on Jie Fu Lian's face.
"D-Do you think you can all get away with this...?!" Jin Long spitefully shouted, "I'll kill you... I'll kill all of you!"
Jie Fu Lian mercilessly attacked Jin Long, not wanting to hear him spout any more nonsense but Jin Long avoided it and ran toward the edge of the cliff.
"Brother Ming, I'll kill you!" Jin Long shouted as he jumped into the abyss.
Jie Fu Lian rushed over to grab the man but he was a step too late.
Jin Long disappeared, leaving behind nothing more than the residue of a transportation talisman.
"He escaped," Jie Fu Lian frowned as he spoke up.
"Damn it!" Shen Chao cursed.
