Volume One: "The Nature of the Devil Does Not Change"
Arc: "The Devil Finally Leaves Earth"
A sudden white light erupted as Scarlet King approached Yu Ru Ming and Yao Yan. The radiance was so intense—so overwhelming in both power and beauty—that Scarlet King and the others had to shut their eyes. The seal on Yu Ru Ming had been broken. When Scarlet King opened his eyes again, he saw Yu Ru Ming in her true form.
Her beauty was beyond description—unbelievable, mind-melting. Skin white, whiter than snow. Enchanting pink eyes. Soft, faint pink eyebrows. And hair—long, pink, impossibly long—reaching all the way to her feet, spilling over her shoulders and down her back.
She had cute, demonic pointed ears, a small delicate nose, medium soft lips, unreal facial features, and a body whose curves could only be described as perfection itself.
A stunning, seductive figure: a large chest, a slim waist, and wide hips that even made Yao Yan feel jealous.
On her forehead sat a small, adorable golden crown shaped like a heart.
She wore a short, tight white dress with no full sleeves—only two long straps flowing from the shoulders—along with coal-black stockings reaching halfway up her thick thighs, and small red horns in front of her ears.
She was the embodiment of beauty—more than beauty itself—something that could make anyone fall under her spell instantly. Ikalat and Lin Yuan's faces turned to pure shock at her overwhelming appearance, and even Ikalat—an old being more than a thousand years old—fell into her charm.
But Scarlet King stared at her with complete coldness, truly unaffected, and thought inside himself:
(Beautiful or handsome… it doesn't matter. Everyone cares about the outer shell. They don't care about flesh or bone—they care about the beauty of your face and the shape of your body. But in the end, everyone will forget your beauty once you're under the soil. When death comes, only skin remains. Then the skin disappears and flesh is revealed. Then flesh disappears and bone is revealed. Everyone is just a moving pile of bones. Nothing truly matters except the goal.)
Yu Ru Ming watched calmly, eyes half-closed. She glanced at Yao Yan and spoke with cold composure:
"My older sister… let's return to the Demon Dimensions. But we must find our father: Mo Sheng."
At once, Lin Yuan appeared in front of Yu Ru Ming, a red rose between his teeth.
"Beautiful one… I was wondering if you're single, and if you'd like to go out with me on a date?"
Ikalat shoved Lin Yuan aside hard, then bowed slightly, placing a hand over his chest.
"My dear lady… may I have a romantic date with you?"
Lin Yuan and Ikalat immediately began arguing—and even fighting—over who would go out with Yu Ru Ming.
"I'm the one who'll go out with her—I came first!"
"I'm older and smarter, so she should be mine!"
Yao Yan watched with contempt, and Yu Ru Ming watched with ice-cold indifference. As for Scarlet King, he rubbed his eyes in frustration at the idiots' behavior, while Yu Ru Ming thought to herself:
(Hah… men are so stupid and weak. It's easy to seduce them and make them fight like animals just for a beautiful female. I despise men… but I love women.)
Scarlet King appeared beside Yu Ru Ming. Yu Ru Ming and Yao Yan both assumed he would flirt with her too, just like Ikalat and Lin Yuan—yet the opposite happened.
He released an overwhelmingly powerful soundwave toward Ikalat and Lin Yuan, forcing them to drop to their knees, and said right into their faces:
"If you don't move—right now—to the Central Region in front of me… I'll kill you."
With terrifying speed, Lin Yuan and Ikalat rushed toward the Central Region, afraid of Scarlet King. Scarlet King ignored Yao Yan and Yu Ru Ming and moved as well. At the same time, the two women said:
"Interesting."
Yu Ru Ming and Yao Yan followed behind them immediately. As they drew closer, they heard Scarlet King scolding the two idiots:
"I told you, fools—our mission is to explore the Sealed World, take the greatest benefit we can, leave the Sealed World, then leave Earth, then go to the center of the First Dimension, and escape this universe that's far from the dimensional center."
When the two beauties caught up, Scarlet King said coldly:
"Oh… Yu Ru Ming and Yao Yan."
Yu Ru Ming let out a soft laugh toward Scarlet King—an alluring laugh, gentle and teasing:
"Hahaha… you're wrong, my dear Scarlet. My name is Yu Ru Meng, not Ming—and I expect you know the reason… you and Ikalat. Hehe."
Yao Yan spat, realizing her sister was trying to seduce Scarlet King. Yu Ru Ming was hunted by everyone, and Scarlet King was the first person who hadn't given her attention—so she wanted to pull him in. That made Yao Yan feel a flicker of jealousy, because Yu Ru Ming was always the center of attention.
Lin Yuan spoke in shock:
"What? Her name is Yu Ru Meng, not Ming? But I heard with my own ears that her name was Yu Ru Ming!"
Yu Ru Ming answered with contempt:
"Of course… a ridiculous, stupid male creature like you wouldn't understand the reason."
Ikalat tried to hold back his laughter as Lin Yuan's dignity was dragged through the dirt. Before he could speak, Scarlet King answered in his place:
"The reason is that Yu Ru Meng is from the opposing immortal demon dimensions. If a being from the Immortal Dimensions—Seventh to Eleventh—whether from the normal immortal dimensions or the demon dimensions, is in a weakened state, then any information about them becomes distorted: their name, their age, even their appearance. The darkness around her was a seal triggered by a defensive armor—her clothing. Yao Yan wasn't affected because she's strong, not weak, so the Immortal Dimensions didn't distort information about her."
