CHAPTER 397: SUBSTITUTE BRIDE OF THE DEMON KING (1)

Cheng Mo slowly closed his eyes and began to recall his master repeatedly saying that the righteous side would always prevail in the end.

So is the winning side the righteous side, or has he always stood in the wrong camp?

...

The Heaven is no more, and it was time for the Demon Cult to rise.

...

Yue Ran laid her back on the sofa and twirled a strand of her hair on a slender finger in boredom. She tilted her head, strands of hair falling over her shoulder like a waterfall of ink.

She was back in the system space after she got out of the previous world, and she had also devoured the love of a number of men from the previous world. The hatred from the female protagonist was particularly delicious, too.

It did not take very long for Yue Ran to figure out that the female protagonist of that world has her own system, so Yue Ran let Ruan Ruan capture the system and eat it up to power his strength.

"Master, the system of the female protagonist is very delicious," Ruan Ruan exclaimed happily, looking very satisfied— well, as satisfied as a ball of light could appear.

Yue Ran: Is it a kind of cannibalism for a system to eat another system?

Ruan Ruan: Of course not! Ruan Ruan is just eating up more data in order to power Ruan Ruan up! Ruan Ruan must not drag the Master down!

"Hmm." Yue Ran hummed with a charming smile on her lips. When she raised her eyelids, she suddenly spotted something in her field of vision. "Hm?" She raised a brow. "Is that a pair of ears on your head? And a tail as well?"

Yue Ran raised a hand to grab Ruan Ruan from the air, a cozy warmth covering her hand. Although the touch was illusory, Yue Ran knew that Ruan Ruan was there in the palm of her hand, looking very still and obedient. There was no struggle at all.

"You look somewhat like a cat," Yue Ran said as she poked the tiny ears and tail that suddenly sprouted on top of Ruan Ruan’s head and the rear bottom. "These ears and tail are made of light too, like your ball-like body."

Ruan Ruan let out an adorable, joyful laugh. "Yes, Master, I have upgraded!"

"That is good," Yue Ran said, blowing Ruan Ruan off the palm of her hand. Ruan Ruan slowly floated into the air like a floating dandelion puff that drifted with the wind before stopping a short distance away.

The more Ruan Ruan upgraded, the more helpful he would be to her.

"Master, Ruan Ruan has news," Ruan Ruan twirled around happily before reporting.

"Oh, what news could it be?" Yue Ran raised a brow.

"Ruan Ruan has gotten the complete plot of the previous world," Ruan Ruan said. "Is the Master interested in learning about it?"

Yue Ran popped a potato chip into her mouth, and crunching noises sneakily slipped out of her closed lips as she closed her mouth and bit it.

"No," Yue Ran replied simply, crossing her legs in boredom. "The world has already ended, and I have come out on top as the continent’s undisputed ruler. What is the use of knowing the original plot that would be of no use at all?"

In any case, those men like the third prince, Cheng Mo, and Qiao Jie have already become the men in her harem. Ah, that was not right— Cheng Mo and Qiao Jie are not part of her harem. They were the two pets she kept in the palace walls of the Demon Cult.

As a pet, Cheng Mo was certainly not allowed to be disfigured. It was for this reason that Yue Ran had asked a doctor to reattach his hand and then threw him inside the Demon Cult to play with in her spare time.

As for the female protagonist, whom Yue Ran did not bother to remember the name of, Yue Ran captured the female protagonist and tossed her into the torture cave of the Demon Cult, no longer caring about her life or death. Anyway, the female protagonist was deprived of the system she was bound to, so it goes without saying that she was not able to leave the world at all.

Since the female protagonist did not do as she had promised to Yue Ran by leaving as far away as possible, the female protagonist had to face a punishment— the punishment for lying to her (Yue Ran’s) face.

After that, the rest is history.

Not wanting to stay in the boring system space anymore, Yue Ran opened her mouth and was just about to speak, but a burst of dizziness hit her head.

The next thing Ruan Ruan knew, Yue Ran’s figure had disappeared from the sofa.

"Master!!!" Ruan Ruan shouted in fright.

In the following second, Ruan Ruan also vanished from the system space.

...

[A new mission world has been opened: Please complete this world before the end of your life.]

[A friendly reminder: You cannot get out of character, or you will fail the mission.]

[Please be aware that the punishment for not being able to complete the mission is death.]

Accompanied by a burst of foreign, mechanical, electronic sound prompts, the dizziness in the head became more apparent.

When Yue Ran opened her eyes and regained consciousness, she felt that her head was in great agony, as if she had just struck a cold wall and was now dealing with the aftermath of the hard collision.

The pain made her vision turn black. Her head was spinning, and she could barely bite the tip of her tongue to maintain a moment of clarity.

Yue Ran subconsciously raised her heavy eyelids and found that she was stepping on a black leather boot with a golden thread pattern. Her sight slowly moved up along the leather boots, and the appearance of a person appeared in her eyes.
