Yun Wuji's face darkened. He raised his hand and slapped her perky butt, saying, "Nonsense! Even if you begged me, I wouldn't do it!"
Is this the first thing a normal person should say upon seeing a clone? Who does she think she is? A novel reader?
Mu Xuanyin grabbed the hand that had slapped her butt with both of her hands. She didn't seem to care about him hitting her; instead, she asked, "You can use darkness profound energy, right?"
Yun Wuji didn't answer her question directly. Instead, the hand she was holding suddenly began to swirl with a gloomy black fog.
Mu Xuanyin narrowed her eyes as she looked at the black fog. While holding his hand, she felt a cold sensation, not the icy kind, but a corrosive, chilling coldness. Her expression was hard to describe, her emotions so complex that she didn't even think to question how someone with Light Profound Energy could also wield Darkness Profound Energy.
She, who had spent her entire life hating devils and killing countless of them, now found herself in a relationship with a devil... How ironic.
"I know you hate devils deeply, but can I ask you something?" The black fog dispersed as Yun Wuji spoke, his voice gentle. "Can you tell me why you hate them so much?"
He could never understand how quadrillions of people living in the God Realm never questioned this. Did these people lack critical thinking? Had the thought, "Why are devils bad?" ever crossed their minds? What was even more frustrating and disappointing was that the rulers of the Primal Chaos, the mighty King Realms, also thought the same way.
The belief that all devils must be killed was so deeply ingrained in everyone's mind that it had become common sense.
"They killed my parents. If I had the chance, I wouldn't hesitate to kill every single one of them," Mu Xuanyin said, her eyes gleaming with cruelty and resentment. If it weren't for the dark profound energy in the Northern Divine Region, she wouldn't have hesitated to enter and slaughter as many as she could.
"Fair enough," Yun Wuji nodded at her words, then asked another question. "So, you're saying that because some people killed your parents, you now hate everyone in their Divine Region, right?"
"Then, let's say, for example, that the ones who killed your parents were from the Southern Divine Region. Would you hate every living being in the Southern Divine Region and kill them all if you had the ability to take your revenge?"
Mu Xuanyin was startled, but she shook her head and replied, "Of course not. I would only kill the people who killed my parents."
"Strange. Since you hate all the people in the Northern Divine Region for killing your parents, shouldn't you do the same to the Southern Divine Region if they were to do the same?" Yun Wuji asked.
For the people in this world, who have been fed the notion that devils are evil and must all die, trying to reason with them is like talking to flat earthers. Even with the advancement of technology and the internet, they still believe the Earth is flat. Trying to change their minds is just a waste of breath.
In that case, Yun Wuji decided to slowly guide her into thinking critically on her own. This way, she would gradually break free from that stupid notion.
"Nonsense! Why would you even compare the Southern Divine Region with the filthy Northern Divine Region? The people in the Southern Divine Region are people, but those in the Northern Divine Region are just filthy sinners who deserve to die!" Mu Xuanyin shook her head again. She released his hand and patted his head, saying, "You're not included in that group. You only managed to cultivate darkness profound energy because of your frightening genius. As long as you don't use it, no one will know about it."
"I've only been in the God Realm for a few months, and I've heard many times that the people from the Northern Divine Region are sinners and evil, and they deserve to be wiped from the universe," Yun Wuji said, shaking off her hand. He didn't like being treated like a child. He then asked, "I'm somewhat curious, what kind of unforgivable sin did the devils commit to be condemned by everyone from the other three Divine Regions?"
"...?" Mu Xuanyin's hand, which was about to pat his head again, suddenly froze. She opened her mouth to reply, but no words came out...because she couldn't find an answer to his question.
From the moment they were born, everyone in the God Realm, including the devils themselves, was told that devils were heretics who couldn't be allowed to exist in the world. They were told that devil practitioners were dark, cruel, sinful, and malicious creatures and that killing them was the righteous duty of every profound practitioner.
It was the most basic of common sense, as natural as the distinction between man and woman or fire and water.
No one had ever questioned it because doing so was laughable—and in some cases, even sinful.
Why were the devil practitioners evil? What kind of unforgivable sins had they committed? Had they caused a calamity so terrible that there weren't enough books in the world to describe how heinous it was?
Mu Xuanyin was so shocked to discover that she couldn't come up with a single answer.
"Fufufu, interesting!" The Devil Queen, Chi Wuyao, who had been watching this, let out a soft, sultry laugh, one that could melt the bones of any man who heard it. She gazed at Yun Wuji's face and muttered in a languid voice, "Wuji, I'm really starting to like you more and more..."
"To me, someone who just arrived in the God Realm, it made no sense," Yun Wuji said, gazing at Mu Xuanyin with curious eyes. "The situation seems completely reversed from my perspective."
'Hmm, this guy is cooking!' With Chi Wuyao's cunning, she immediately understood what Yun Wuji was trying to do.
"The devils are permanently trapped in a cage of darkness and treated like livestock. If they dare to take even one step out of their cage, they are hunted down by the people from the other Divine Regions."
"If you look at this from an objective point of view, it seems that they are the victims. After all, they just want to escape their cage, a cage that is constantly shrinking over time. Yet, the people from the other Divine Regions kill, murder, and oppress them the moment they see them."
"If cruelty, murder, and oppression are sins... then who are the true sinners here?"
"You said that the devils killed your parents, but isn't it also true that your parents wanted to kill them for no reason?"
"Enough!" When she heard him mention her parents, Mu Xuanyin's aura erupted violently. Instantly, the sky changed color, space began to tremble, and black cracks appeared in the air. The ground shook, and cracks spread across the ground where they stood.
Yun Wuji, who was standing close to her, was sent flying by her sudden outburst, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He tumbled through the air for hundreds of meters before finally stabilizing himself.
"Wuji!" Mu Xuanyin was horrified. The terrifying Level 10 Divine Master aura that had erupted from her dissipated like smoke, and she rushed to him.
The difference in their cultivation was too great. Even though his cultivation had risen to the 9th level of the Divine Tribulation Realm after dual cultivating with Mu Xuanyin and using the Divine Jades and profound cores she "picked" from the Radiant Mountain Realm's treasury, he was still too weak compared to her.
Just the burst of her aura alone had left him in this miserable state.
Yun Wuji wiped the blood from his lips and shook his head. "I'm fine," he said.
Holding his shoulder, Mu Xuanyin sent her profound energy into him. After a quick examination, she let out a relieved sigh when she confirmed he wasn't injured.
However, even so, she still felt uneasy. She knew that when Yun Wuji acted calmly in this kind of situation, it meant he was upset. Usually, if she hit him, he would say something like, "Are you a female gorilla?" or "I'll sue you for domestic violence," or "This is the woe of having a stronger girlfriend."
She muttered softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just... it's just—"
Suddenly, she felt something press against her lips, followed by two strong arms pulling her into his embrace. She closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around his neck and returning the kiss.
After a while, Yun Wuji's lips left hers. He caressed her cheek and said, "You are my beloved Xuanyin. I won't be angry at you over something this insignificant."
"But... I am indeed disappointed. I didn't think the people in this world would have such prejudice against the devils without any reason. Even you are the same."
"..." Mu Xuanyin opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she stopped.
"When I think about what will happen when the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor returns and sees the state of the people in the Northern Divine Region, I feel very uneasy."
She raised her head and looked at Yun Wuji with wide eyes. 'How could I forget this?' She had allowed her irrational hatred to blind her.
When she imagined what would happen, a chill ran down her spine. If she were the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and returned only to see her clansmen treated like livestock, she would wipe out all those responsible!
At the same time, when she thought about how much Yun Wuji was planning and doing for the sake of saving the world, she couldn't help but feel that he was truly bearing an immense burden.
While she was lost in thought, she heard Yun Wuji's voice. "But don't think I'll forgive you so easily. When we return, you'll get your punishment."
"Oh, punishment? What nasty idea do you have this time?" Mu Xuanyin moved closer, licking his cheek and asking in a sultry tone. If anyone from the Snow Song Realm were to see their cold and mighty Realm King acting like this, their worldview would shatter completely.
These were tricks she had learned from the "tutoring" Chi Wuyao had given her in her free time.
"I have an ultra-thin sling bikini gathering dust in the Sky Poison Pearl. It would be a shame not to use it, right?" Yun Wuji held her waist and tapped the ground, flying away with her in his arms.
"Sling bikini?! Hopeless pervert!" Mu Xuanyin was startled, her voice drifting away. "By the way, you kept the fact that you have a clone a secret from me. What other secrets are you hiding?"
"I have many more secrets. Do you want to know?" Their voices continued to drift into the distance.
"Yes."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"It's a secret."
"Bastard!"
"A man's charm comes from the mysterious aura around him. If I were to tell all my secrets, wouldn't you grow bored and leave me?"
"Nonsense! I won't leave you even if you become an old, ugly man!"
"...Hey, Xuanyin."
"What?"
"I think I'm in love with you again."
"How Stupid..."
