"Um, can we talk about this later?" Mu Qingge chuckled awkwardly, addressing Si Mo.
However, the man’s expression did not improve.
He stared at Mu Qingge, seemingly demanding an answer from her.
"Well... you don’t remember about me right now, which is why you’re acting this way." Mu Qingge racked her brain to persuade Si Mo to give up the idea. "I have a lot going on, I’m very busy with heavy tasks, and if I don’t progress quickly, my enemies will seize the chance to kill me. So, I think my energy should be focused on cultivation right now, rather than getting married and having children."
"Who dares to kill you? I’ll kill them for you. Who would dare touch my woman?" Si Mo said coldly.
This domineering aura made Mu Qingge’s mouth twitch constantly.
Her smile was somewhat stiff, but she had to patiently say, "Even if we’re going to get married, at least wait until you remember everything between us."
Mu Qingge’s smile was somewhat sly. She was confident that once Si Mo remembered their past, he would definitely abandon the idea of forcing marriage.
Yet Si Mo wasn’t willing to fall for it and instead confidently looked at her and said, "I forgot, so you can tell me, and I’ll remember."
"..." Mu Qingge blinked. She thought to herself, ’Why is Si Mo so difficult to deal with now!’
She had forgotten that Si Mo used to just want to pamper her, spoil her, never wanting to force her or make her troubled. So he would concede in everything, always putting her first.
But the current Si Mo had forgotten the past.
The only thing he knew was that Mu Qingge was his woman, and he liked her and wanted to be with her.
As a member of the Demon Clan, he should act on his heart.
Since his heart wants to marry her and have children, why should he endure?
The current Si Mo is truly a Demon Lord!
He no longer carefully treads around Mu Qingge, concerned about various things; he only follows his demonic nature.
Today, even if Mu Qingge doesn’t like him, he would still forcefully seize her to the palace to marry him and make her his Princess!
"Well, the feelings I tell you are different from the ones you remember on your own. Besides, you once promised me that when my cultivation is almost equal to yours, I would then marry you!" Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows.
Si Mo’s handsome brows furrowed.
He seemed to be recalling whether he indeed said such "self-deprecating" words.
He fell silent, and Mu Qingge did not disturb him.
While she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Si Mo had given up the idea, he suddenly looked up and said to Mu Qingge, "It’s difficult for your cultivation to surpass mine."
"..." Mu Qingge stared at him, speechless. ’Was that necessary to be so discouraging? Hmm?!’
"Our children can’t wait that long." Si Mo added another sentence.
Mu Qingge felt her stiff expression cracking.
"You got it wrong, it’s me marrying you, not you marrying me." Si Mo corrected.
Mu Qingge held her forehead, feeling she could no longer communicate.
"Gu Ya... Gu Ye..." Mu Qingge stood up, calling towards the cave entrance.
This elicited Si Mo’s jealousy, as he discontentedly said, "I, the lord, am right in front of you, why call other men?"
Mu Qingge widened her eyes, inhaling sharply.
When footsteps approached, she ground her teeth and said, "They are your subordinates."
"It doesn’t matter." Si Mo said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, Princess." Gu Ya and Gu Ye’s voices came from the cave entrance.
"Get out." Si Mo said fiercely.
"Hold on!" Mu Qingge hastily called.
At the cave entrance, Gu Ya and Gu Ye exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bitterness, feeling a sense of camaraderie in adversity.
’What to do?’
The two asked each other, ultimately they had no choice but to stand still, not daring to move.
Mu Qingge sighed in headache, raising her hand to massage her brow with her fingertip. She said, "I just want them to come in and tell you about the past between us."
"You can personally tell me." Si Mo objected.
Mu Qingge took a deep breath, nodded with a forced smile, "I can say it, but let them explain the main points first, while I go out for some fresh air."
Having said that, she flashed a wide smile at Si Mo, turned around, and started heading towards the cave opening.
She had just taken two steps when she heard Si Mo’s voice coming from behind, "If you really don’t want to marry now, you can have a child first."
This sentence changed Mu Qingge’s face, quickening her pace, and she dashed out of the cave entrance.
Once outside, she saw Gu Ya and Gu Ye standing just outside the opening.
Seeing her, the two offered a somewhat embarrassed smile, bowing and saying, "Princess..."
Mu Qingge sighed inwardly and said to the two, "Your Majesty can’t remember those things. Go inside and tell him. I’ll go catch my breath."
Having said this, she ran away as if escaping.
Gu Ye immediately ordered the Demon Guards, "Quickly, follow the Princess and ensure her safety."
More than twenty Demon Guards immediately moved, pursuing Mu Qingge. However, they wisely maintained a certain distance and didn’t disturb her as she caught her breath.
Once everything was arranged, Gu Ya and Gu Ye exchanged a glance, adopting an expression of facing their fate with determination, taking a deep breath and stepping into the cave.
...
Mu Qingge walked on the Gobi, enjoying the scenery within Insect Abyss.
She was somewhat curious about how these grasslands and the Gobi were connected. In her understanding, grasslands and Gobi are entirely different landforms.
Even unique existences like Sunset Wilderness owe their peculiarity to the underground abnormal fire.
’Could there be abnormal fire here as well?’ Mu Qingge wondered curiously.
Yet, thinking of abnormal fire, she naturally thought of Yuanyuan. Her gaze instantly grew dim as it fell on the finger cover on her right index finger.
Even during her days in Taixuan Demon Realm, whether she was verbally battling demons or commanding battles, she never forgot to use spiritual energy to nurture the artifact soul inside Linglong.
Soft spiritual power wound around the finger cover.
She didn’t know when Yuanyuan would awaken. Nor did she know if after awakening he would still remember her as his mother and leader.
Shaking her head, Mu Qingge pulled her emotions away from the gloom.
She believed that sooner or later Yuanyuan would return and fight alongside her again!
Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingge’s thoughts returned to Si Mo. The current Si Mo made her feel amused and also gave her a headache.
Why hadn’t she noticed Si Mo was so stubborn before?
"Originally, I felt that whether he remembered or not didn’t matter, his heart always had me. But now it seems it’s better for him to remember everything early. Otherwise, what to do about this daily pressure to marry and have children?" Mu Qingge’s lips curved into a smile filled with soft bitterness.
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed; this wasn’t the first time she’d heard this term.
At this moment, protected in the center by the other Demon Guards, she didn’t need to take action, and no insect could approach her. However, this stalemate wouldn’t last long.
These twenty-some Demon Guards were no match for the insect formation.
"Be careful! These insects are poisonous; if touched, you’ll surely die immediately," someone among the Demon Guards warned.
This made Mu Qingge furrow her eyebrows even more.
"Quickly, ask for help from His Majesty and the others!" the Demon Guard captain shouted loudly, pushing back a wave of insects.
’Buzzing——!’
At that moment, Mu Qingge heard a faint sound in her ears again.
She raised her gaze and saw a mass of ’black clouds’ flying from a distance; the ’black clouds’ were extremely low, almost skimming the ground.
"Be careful! Insects are coming from the skies too." Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, quickly warning her companions.
The insects flying from the sky immediately increased the pressure on the twenty-plus Demon Guards.
...
In the cave, Gu Ya and Gu Ye narrated Mu Qingge’s situation to Si Mo.
Before they finished speaking, a Demon Guard rushed in, looking grim as he reported to Si Mo, "Your Majesty, the Princess is trapped by the insect formation."
"What!"
Gu Ya and Gu Ye were taken aback.
Then, before they could react, they felt a chilling presence beside them.
Si Mo’s figure vanished from their sight with a ’swoosh’.
"Even if Your Majesty has forgotten the past with the young Lord, he is still this urgent when the young Lord encounters danger," murmured Gu Ya.
Gu Ye urged, "Your Majesty’s injuries are yet to heal; let’s hurry over."
Gu Ya turned pale and, along with Gu Ye, immediately led the rest of the Demon Guards to provide support.
...
Mu Qingge was tightly protected in the center by the Demon Guards, but the insects around them forced the guards to continually tighten their formation.
The Gobi was already crawling with insects, while more kept surging forward like waves.
The ’black clouds’ in the sky were also composed of dense masses of insects, now encircling them menacingly.
Both the sky and the ground, all escape routes were blocked.
The most critical aspect was that these insects seemed endless, and their poison was extremely potent; a single mistake could result in being contaminated by the venom.
It was fortunate that they were Si Mo’s Demon Guards; ordinary people likely wouldn’t have lasted this long!
"Princess, we’ll carve out a path for you soon, and then you must escape with all your might!" the Demon Guard captain whispered to Mu Qingge.
Using these people’s lives to exchange for hers?
Mu Qingge’s eyes darkened; she couldn’t do it.
Just as she was preparing to bring these Demon Guards into her own space to temporarily avoid the immediate danger, a powerful force suddenly descended from the sky, prompting her to look up.
The mighty force tousled her hair, allowing her to clearly see the dark figure charging into the insect formation...
