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
"You're a coward," Hua Tianshu sighed as he replied to the voice, "You don't even dare come out."
The demon laughed as he heard this and sounded quite amused as he responded, "I may be a coward but I'm smart and not an idiot like you. If you can't even tell the difference between the real me and an illusion of me, how can you say that you'll defeat the demon king?"
"Don't worry" Hua Tianshu raised his sword as he faced his own sister and spoke, "I'll defeat you and your illusion before I kill that damned Demon King of yours."
"I'd like to see you try~" The demon teasingly laughed.
Hua Meifang didn't hold back in any of her attacks. All of her attacks were aimed at Hua Tianshu and each time her sword struck, it was imbued with spiritual energy that was more than enough to kill him with a single blow.
Hua Tianshu didn't attack the woman back. He only dodged and avoided taking a hit for as long as he could.
