Zhao Kangping stared into her beautiful red eyes and thought for a while.

"I want you to work like a slave for me." He said with a wicked smile.

"You...don't even think about it." Then she looked like she was about to cry, just like a young wife being bullied by a bully, yet she was actually a bit lovable.

Zhao Kangping would not sympathize with her.

If things had continued as they should, she would have committed many evil deeds in the future, and countless lives would have been wiped out by the chaos she stirred up.

He now has a firm control over her, not allowing her any chance to escape, while also educating her well.

Then teaching is also a kind of education.

"Haha, that's quite fierce. Do you believe I will use tough measures?" Zhao Kangping lifted her chin.

Ming Luan glared at Zhao Kangping, refusing to yield. "What other tricks do you have? Use them all. I'm not afraid of you."

"Well, you are so stubborn. Can't you just go along with me a little? If you were a little more obedient, I would still treat you like my baby." Zhao Kangping touched her head.

If it were Zhao Mengyao, she would probably like him touching her like this.

But the Demon Lord Mingluan would only think that this was a humiliation to her. Only those weak demon women who needed to rely on the strong to survive would accept the touch of the strong.

She has been strong all her life, so how could she accept such a fate?

"Ah, I'll bite you to death." Ming Luan stretched out her mouth and wanted to bite his hand, but he dodged it.

"You, can you not be so fierce? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married?" Zhao Kangping joked.

"What's wrong with me being fierce, you bastard human? I wish I could cut you into pieces." Ming Luan said fiercely, but now she could only vent her anger.

Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and said, "I don't understand why you hate me so much. Can you explain it to me?"

This question confused Ming Luan.

If it were in the past, her purpose of joining forces with Shangguan Xueyi to murder him was to accelerate Zhao Mengyao's dark transformation.

As long as he died, Zhao Mengyao would be left without any support or protection, and it would be easy for her to go to extremes. With her instigation, she would definitely go all the way to the end.

Then she will be able to merge smoothly with Zhao Mengyao's personality, and she will be complete.

From this perspective, he is undoubtedly a stumbling block that prevents Zhao Mengyao from turning evil.

But now she couldn't kill this man anymore. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she didn't have the ability.

With him around, Zhao Mengyao will not turn into a female devil.

Since her plan to seduce Zhao Mengyao into falling into the evil path failed, she became a captive again.

But she was unwilling to tell him her purpose of wanting to murder him, as it concerned her future plans.

Although according to the demon clan's concept that the weak should obey the strong, she should submit to him.

Even to offer their loyalty to him as the victor.

Many people say that the demons are cunning, but this is actually not true. The early demons were stubborn and lacked flexibility.

They learned cunning through long-term games with humans.

Those traditional demons all like to see who has the harder fist and who has the final say.

Therefore, among the demons, the weak will follow the strong.

Even if the other party killed your parents, you might still feel at ease working for the enemy because the other party is stronger than you.

Unless one day one becomes stronger than the other, then one can consider the question of whether to seek revenge. The strong have the right to dominate the weak; this is the way of survival for the demons.

But in her heart she still didn't want to give in to him.

Maybe she still can't let go of everything about the demon clan.

"I guess you are still dreaming of letting the demons rule the world again." Zhao Kangping said when he saw Mingluan was slow to speak.

When these words came out, Ming Luan's heart was greatly shocked.

She was puzzled as to how he knew that.

Not only that, he had been able to reveal her identity as the Demon Lord Mingluan before, which was incredible.

Zhao Kangping continued, "The era of the demons has long passed. Do you think you can change this era with your own strength?"

Actually, it was possible; that was the story in the original novel. But he didn't like that development.

Here, he wanted to undermine her self-confidence and deny her abilities, preferably making her doubt herself.

"You're just a woman. Even if you were powerful in the past, you're just a mortal now. You're not even of demon blood, just a human. Why are you still dwelling on your past life?"

Zhao Kangping felt that since she had been reincarnated as a human, she should cut ties with her demon identity in her previous life.

But Mingluan just couldn't seem to figure things out and insisted on clinging to the past.

In the original story, she inherited a legacy from her previous life and transformed her body into demon blood. However, this transformation was incomplete, causing her to retain many human characteristics.

So when she returned to the Demon Realm to start a new business, she suffered from racial discrimination. Later, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, she wore a fierce helmet that sealed her beauty for a long time.

Mingluan’s obsession with her past life is too deep.

So even after reincarnation, she still wanted to continue the unfinished business of her previous life - reviving the demon clan and letting the demon clan unify the entire Canglan world.

"Haha, even if I can't do it, I can't be your beast of burden?" Ming Luan sneered.

"Then be my wife. Give me lots of children, and we'll live our own lives from now on. Don't worry about anything else."

Ming Luan scoffed at his words: "Tsk, ridiculous, do you know what I'm carrying?"

"Even if I don't fight, my sister won't let me go. Sooner or later, she'll find out I'm still alive. If she can kill me once, she'll definitely not allow me to return to this world."

Zhao Kangping knew that Mingluan had a half-sister who was of a lower birth than Mingluan's mother. The mother of Mingluan's half-sister was a succubus princess, so she also had half succubus blood.

Before the demon clan's royal family was destroyed, unlike Mingluan who worked like a maid every day, this princess lived a life of luxury.

Later, the demon clan was in civil strife, the royal family declined, and the princess's sister was also packaged and given to the rebels.

However, the half-succubus princess captured the heart of a rebel leader with her stunning beauty. Unlike other royal ladies, she was not abused by the rebels and continued to live a luxurious life.

In Mingluan's previous life, when she was unifying the Demon Realm, this sister became her enemy. However, Mingluan defeated her because she did not kill her due to their blood relationship.

Ming Luan would never have thought that she would take the opportunity to attack him when he was weak.

Times have changed. Now, this half-succubus queen is one of the top powerful people in the Demon Realm. Sooner or later, she will know that Mingluan is still alive.

"Don't be afraid, I won't allow anyone to kill you. Even if your sister wants to kill you, I will kill her for you and will never let her hurt you." Zhao Kangping said domineeringly.

Ming Luan just found it ridiculous that he, a human being, had the audacity to say that he wanted to protect her.

But there was actually someone who wanted to protect her, and for a moment, she was actually moved.

[Mingluan feels you're trying to please her, favorability +20 (Absolute Loyalty Shackle bonus calculated), current favorability 31.]

Zhao Kangping was not just talking nonsense. In order to correct the development of this world, he would sooner or later face the half-succubus queen.

In the future, that half-succubus queen will not only be Ming Luan's enemy, but also Luo Xueqing's enemy.

"As long as you are willing to be my wife, I will do my best to protect you." Zhao Kangping said affectionately.

"No, I don't want to be your wife." She avoided his gaze and turned her head away.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and the woman's delicate body trembled. She quickly covered her small butt with her hands and glared at him with an angry look.

"Call me husband and let me hear it."

"not called."

"Snapped!"

He pulled away the woman's hands that were covering her back and slapped them again.

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

The Demon Lord's eyes were filled with resentment, with little crystal tears welling up in them.

This made Zhao Kangping's heart soften, and he helped her rub the place where she was hit.

"Wow, you are bullying me." Ming Luan said aggrievedly with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Then I won't bully you anymore. Let's sleep together."

……

In a courtyard house in Chuanliu City, Nangong Ruyun picked up the hot tea she had just brewed and handed it to the woman sitting across from the stone table.

Lan Ruoyu did not take the cup of tea. She stared blankly at the tea leaves floating in the tea, a little absent-minded.

"Why do you insist on practicing the Merciless Sword? It's not suitable for you." Staring at her best friend who was gradually becoming a stranger, Nangong Ruyun felt a pang of pain in her heart.

After seeing Lan Ruoyu in person again this time, she found that her temperament had changed slightly.

It has become more indifferent, less emotional, and has a more aloof temperament.

"Then why do you want to practice that technique? It's not suitable for you either." Lan Ruoyu looked indifferent and spoke in a gloomy tone.

What she was talking about was naturally the Taiyin Xuanbing Jue.

At that time, Nangong Ruyun was imprisoned in the Youchi Cold Prison by the former Young Sect Master. When she was desperate and helpless, she discovered this technique on a skeleton.

The original Taiyin Xuanbing Jue also requires practitioners to abandon their unnecessary emotions, but Nangong Ruyun is reluctant to do so.

Relying on her outstanding understanding, she figured out a modified and improved version on her own, and she did not turn into emotionless ice chips while practicing.

Nangong Ruyun naturally remembered that she had practiced this technique in order to seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

She succeeded.

However, this also leads to the accumulation of cold toxins in the body.

For a long time thereafter, she suffered from the cold.

"I understand. You must have something you need to do, right?" Nangong Ruyun knew that Lan Ruoyu was carrying a lot of burdens, but she didn't know about the revenge for her clan's annihilation.

"What are you going to do after you've done that? Will you go back to Ping'er?"

However, Lan Ruoyu did not answer this question. She was like a calm lake, without a single ripple.

When she heard the name, she felt no emotion at all.

Nangong Ruyun seemed to understand something. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she lowered her eyelids: "If that thing must be done, and it is very dangerous, ..."

"Hey, I'll help you take good care of Ping'er."

Chapter 228: Son in Name, Brother in Reality

When I say I'm sleeping, I really just sleep.

Mingluan was afraid that he would take advantage of the opportunity to kill her, but he didn't.

He didn't even hold her tightly, he just put his hand on her lower abdomen, which made it very easy for her to break free.

At this moment, she didn't dare to continue the assassination.

She didn't dare to gamble on what he would do to her if she was caught again.

Although she obeyed him verbally, how could she really mean it?

She is a proud demon king with a rebellious nature. How could she be tamed by a mere human?

Even if this body is dirty, she will not give up the fight.

She is the last hope of the demon clan, carrying the heavy burden of the demon clan's revival on her shoulders. How can she be swayed by a human man?

Wait, it seems like he never takes any protective measures every time he does that with Zhao Mengyao.

This won't make you pregnant with a baby.

Even if there is no such thing now, there will be one in the future if things continue like this.

How could she, the dignified Demon Lord, accept that she got pregnant before even accomplishing her mission?

She doesn't want to give birth to a human child. If that happens, she would rather die.

Once she was pregnant, it would be even harder for her to escape. Even if she could return to the Demon Realm, with the child as a hindrance, how could she concentrate on reviving the Demon Race?

Mingluan was in a complicated mood and couldn't fall asleep at all.
