The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 444 Engagement, Rival in Love [Ten]

【10. Taoist and Demonic Deduction, Taking the Risk with One's Life】

"The Holy Demon Palace, with its three thousand attendants and maids, respectfully welcomes the return of the new Holy Maiden—Fairy Zixuan!"

The Holy Demon Palace, as the name suggests, is a collective term for the palace complex inhabited by the Holy Maiden and the Demon Prince.

The Holy Demon Palace covers a total area of ​​over 500 acres, with a building area of ​​approximately 90,000 square meters. It has more than 50 palaces of various sizes and more than 3,000 rooms.

The Holy Demon Palace is centered around the magnificent Holy Demon Palace. To the left is the residence of the Holy Maiden: Zixuan Pavilion, and to the right is the residence of the Demon Prince: Zhaixing Tower.

Zixuan Pavilion was named by Leng Ningshuang based on the title of Fairy Zixuan, and it is well-deserved.

The Star-Picking Tower was named by Xing Zhai after he heard about Leng Ning Shuang's title. He even boasted that "above the nine heavens, with the Purple Star hanging high, only I, Xing Zhai, am worthy to be called the Star-Picking Man."

"You may all leave now. I have no need for maids or attendants! And where is Xing Zhai?"

At the main gate of the Holy Demon Palace, a figure in a white dress suddenly descended, her face as cold as ice, causing all the servants who were about to step forward to welcome her to silence them in fear.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Demon Prince anticipated your return and sought you out, so he has been waiting quietly in the side hall for quite some time and has not gone anywhere else!"

An elderly woman dressed as a steward, a mid-stage Great Saint Realm cultivator, tremblingly pushed her way through the crowd.

However, the figure in the white dress had already soared into the air towards the side hall of the Holy Demon Palace.

Inside a side hall of the Holy Demon Palace.

"Shuangshuang, you really did come!"

Xing Zhai, who was taking a short nap, raised an eyebrow as if sensing something, and immediately waved his hand to dismiss those around him: "You lackeys, get out of here! Without my orders, no one is allowed to approach, or they will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, all the maids who had been massaging his shoulders and legs, as well as the sycophantic attendants, immediately fled.

"Sister Shuang'er..."

"Shut up! Don't call me that. Your hypocrisy disgusts me!"

Inside the side hall, Leng Ning Shuang stared coldly at Xing Zhai, who was fawningly welcoming her with open arms, and sneered, "Just tell me straight, what price do you want me to pay for you to use your Dao Demon Deduction Technique to find out a glimmer of hope for Feng Yuqing?" Hearing this, Xing Zhai sat back down in the hall and said happily, "This is simple. You just need to acknowledge the Holy Demon Marriage Contract and publicly announce that you will marry me!"

"Ha, I begged you to perform a Dao-Demon divination, and you want to ruin my life! Very well, begin the divination now, this condition..."

Finally, the struggle in Leng Ning Shuang's eyes faded, and she resolutely said, "I agree!"

However, Xing Zhai's face suddenly darkened, and he changed his mind, saying, "Forget it, this clause is null and void! I suppose if I really forced you to marry me because of this, given your unyielding nature, even if you agreed now, you would definitely commit suicide on the wedding day! Instead, let's play a game together. You bet your body and bring along your sweetheart..."

Before she could finish speaking, Leng Ning Shuang calmly denied it, saying, "I don't have anyone in mind. Just tell me how you want to bet, and I'll play along!"

"Excellent! That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhai was overjoyed and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk.

Immediately, Xing Zhai stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Leng Ning Shuang, and smiled slyly: "You should know that the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects is approaching. I want you to wager: 'I will only marry the number one on the Human Ranking.' Of course, the so-called number one on the Human Ranking is me, and it's lonely at the top. I've held the title for many years, and you're welcome to challenge me anytime! However, I will no longer suppress my cultivation to let you win, and if you lose, I want you to drink the Forgetfulness Gu and willingly marry me!"

"Ha, there are still four years until the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects, and you're so arrogant as to think you can secure the top spot on the Human Ranking?"

Leng Ning Shuang looked at Xing Zhai with a mocking expression, but another figure inadvertently rose in her mind.

Perhaps in terms of talent alone, only he can surpass Xing Zhai... Whether she marries or not, what does it matter to him?
Immediately, she declared proudly, "It will only take me a year to break through to the Mortal Saint Realm! In that case, I will risk everything to bet with you: I will only marry the number one on the Human Ranking!"

"As expected of Shuangshuang, what ambition!"

Xing Zhai flattered him, but the other party curled his lip in disdain. So he said seriously, "Give me the Purple Frost Sword. I need to hurry up and deduce it, lest the old hag notice something amiss!"

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
