Journey to the End of the Night

Chapter 490: Chapter 485: She is the Mortal World Nightmare

But just moments ago, when Baili An released Mi Lu, her expression was extremely calm, even plain.

Yet unexpectedly, he caught a different glimmer in her eyes.

That call for ‘brother,’ although unfamiliar, still contained a trace of sincerity.

For such a scheming Female Demon Lord, asking if her brother would come to save her from peril could sound very much like sarcasm.

But Baili An tasted a bit of precious naivety in her tone.

However, a single statement from Mi Lu pulled her back to reality.

In response to Mi Lu’s questioning, the Female Demon Lord did not explain; she simply smiled and said, “Brother, you really needn’t have bothered.”

Mi Lu said, “What do you mean?”

The Female Demon Lord smiled, brushing a strand of damp hair from her forehead, continued, “In exchange for enduring eternal calamity, I obtained this position of the Demon Lord. Though my body may be decapitated, because of the Baiye Luo Book finding a new owner, this body does not perish. Even if my head burns endlessly in flames and my body freezes deep in ice, I will not die. As long as I endure this eternal calamity, brother, you can only ever be the Young Lord of the Demon Clan.”

“Now that I have escaped disaster, it ironically marks the best start to your succession ceremony.”
