As she opened her eyes, Yunzi realized that she was in a very dark place.
"Where am I? shouldn't..." Not finished muttering, a calm voice echoed behind him.
The voice belonged to a handsome man wearing a blood-red robe.
Despite being enveloped in an evil aura, his figure suddenly appeared like a beam of light shining in the darkness.
That man had a very handsome face. But the cruel and bloodthirsty aura he exuded, allowed anyone not to have the courage to approach him.
Even Yunzi who was known to have the same aura, felt very bad when compared to the aura of the man.
The handsome man was the ruler of the Demon Continent known as the 'Demon King'.
The Demon King was the ruler of the Demon Continent who was known to be extremely ruthless in eradicating his opponents. Under his leadership, the Demon Continent was in a position equal to the God Continent.
Although notoriously cruel, anyone who knew him would know that despite his cruel nature, the Demon King never killed anyone innocent.
He only killed those who deserved to be killed. But unfortunately the Demon King died due to a devious plot arranged by one of the great Sects residing in the God Continent.
One of the great Sects known as 'Sekte Qingchi'
Using his last strength, the Demon King sealed his weak soul in a dimensional space. Where the power is as high as anything no one can find the existence of his soul.
He waited for a thousand years in hopes of finding a potential heir who would inherit his power as well as avenge him. What was more important was to continue his leadership in the Demon Continent.
Not in vain, his wait for a thousand years finally came to fruition.
Aye! The Demon King had found his future heir. She was a very beautiful young girl and had quite the same character as him.
A girl who had tragically died in a previous life.
Even after dying, the girl's soul was still enveloped by the aura of vengeance.
After dying, Yunzi's soul was supposed to enter the reincarnation regime. Yet a thousand years ago there had been a great change in the lower realms, during which all mortals who had died, his soul would face the Demon King before entering the reincarnation regime.
Among the many souls of these humans, the Demon King was only looking for one suitable soul to be his heir.
...
Sensing a girl arriving at his dimension room, the meditating Demon King slowly opened his eyes while smiling.
He approached the girl and said. "Finally this King's waiting did not end in vain."
Hearing the voice in the middle of his mutter, Yunzi reflexively turned back.
Looking at the soul of a man, his attitude was immediately wary. "Who are you? and where am I?"
Sensing his vigilance, the Demon King raised the corner of his lips.
With his calm voice, he replied while reducing his aura slightly, "Girl, there's no need to be so vigilant. This king will not hurt you. Introducing the name of this King is Ye Mei, also known as the Demon King. Now you're in this king's dimension."
Then the Demon King explained to Yunzi the reason why his soul was in the room of his dimension.
After hearing that, Yunzi was not confused anymore and nodded as a sign of understanding.
"What does this have to do with me?" ask her in a flat voice.
"It didn't have anything to do with you before, but it's different now." The Demon King replied with a smile.
Yunzi felt that there was a hidden meaning behind the words of the handsome man who claimed to be the Demon King.
Sure enough! The trap didn't miss...
"This king will give you a second chance to live, but there's a condition." The Demon King said kindly.
The Demon King took a deep breath, then said. "Girl, this King died due to an evil plot orchestrated by a devious Sect. Because of his weak soul, this King cannot take revenge personally."
Yunzi frowned. "Then?"
The Demon King was silent for a moment, then continued. "After death, this King uses his last strength to create a dimensional space and seal the soul of this King in hopes of finding an heir."
Hearing the last sentence, Yunzi knew that the Demon King intended for him to be his heir.
And once again his guess did not miss...
"This king chose you as heir. Girl, what do you think?"
Yunzi did not answer directly.
"If I agree to be your heir, what profit will I get?" he answered after thinking repeatedly.
An instantaneous reply made the Demon King laugh.
Then continued his words with a smile still attached to his handsome face, "The burden of being the heir to this King is not what ordinary people can bear. Of course there are many advantages. Now listen carefully to the King's words."
The Demon King changed his expression as well as his voice became more serious. "After you agree, you will not only inherit the power of this King, but will also become the heir of the Demon Continent. Not only will you avenge this king, you will..."
"So I'm going to be the new Demon King?" Yunzi.
Not only was he not angry despite his interjection, the Demon King actually smiled with satisfaction. "Really! As for the profits, all the treasures of this King will be yours. While the other advantage, this King cannot tell you only through words alone. After all, you will know after becoming the heir to this King. Girl, are you ready?"
Not immediately answering, Yunzi now looked disappointed.
What disappointed him was; the second chance of life turned out not to return to the modern world, but to the ancient times where in that era only adhered to the principle of 'Only the strongest deserve respect'.
"I'm ready!" He said he had no choice but to agree.
"Girl, this king knows you'll definitely agree." Smile on the handsome face of the Demon King.
"Stop calling me girl, I have a name!" Yunzi said a little annoyed.
"Oh! What's yourname?" The Demon King smiled.
"Yuan Yunzi." Answer briefly.
"All right! This king won't call you a girl anymore."
Seeing the slight smile on the cold face of his heir, the Demon King smiled even wider and threw down his sleeves.
Instantly the darkness disappeared and was replaced with a fresh atmosphere and beautiful scenery.
"Xiao Zi, sit down!" The Demon King called out to his heir who was standing in a daze.
After the darkness suddenly disappeared, Yunzi stood dazed at the sight before his eyes.
The expanse of green grass that makes the air feel fresh, the sky is bright, a small pond with very clear water and fruit trees of various kinds.
There are also some old-fashioned pavilions. Right now the Demon King was sitting under the cherry blossom tree and was looking towards it.
He had not expected that a bloodthirsty man like the Demon King would stay in such a beautiful place.
