To be honest, it's impossible not to be nervous.
At first, Luo Ning didn't have much confidence until the golden light shone in from outside the glass. Only then did Luo Ning dare to be sure that his guesses and plans were correct.
Although this series of events happened abruptly, after so many hours, Luo Ning was almost able to face reality.
He had already come this far.
Was he going to risk his life trying to escape?
Even if he managed to escape from Lilulu by sheer luck, it would be a delusional dream for him, a mere mortal, to return to Earth.
Moreover... he didn't really want to go back that much.
The terrible life back there might not be as interesting as this exciting new world.
Luo Ning could completely pretend that he had died and then been reborn.
From surprise to fear, to anxiety and sorrow, Luo Ning had now let go of his worries, but he just felt a little tired.
He looked up at the two red moons above his head and let out a long breath.
"Sigh..."
He had been walking non-stop through the desert for three or four hours.
In addition to the seemingly thin oxygen here, the more Luo Ning walked, the more he felt out of breath.
He finally stopped and looked back.
The blackened, desolate land seemed to be cursed, with yellow sand filling the sky and only the strange shapes of dead branches in front of him.
After leaving the previously dilapidated church, Luo Ning hadn't encountered a second decent building on the way.
He didn't know who built that church, but it certainly wasn't the work of demons. Demons don't worship gods; they only are loyal to themselves.
Nearby, the remains of a bird's body swayed on a rotten ancient tree, making a piercing creaking sound in the strong desert wind.
The surroundings were filled with eeriness and deathly silence, with no living creatures in sight. If it weren't for Luo Ning's strong mental strength, he might have been trembling in fear.
However, fortunately, he had a powerful 'wife'.
Luo Ning wanted to rest for a few more minutes, but there wasn't even a rock to sit on around, so standing would only make his legs numb. So he wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued walking after adjusting for a moment.
If his guess was correct, the land he was standing on belonged to the demon territory's "Barren Lands". There was a forest in the direction of the moon.
Although there might be monsters lurking in the forest, Luo Ning didn't need to worry about that. With Lilulu by his side, even the strongest demon beasts would be destroyed easily.
Where there were living creatures, there would be food and water sources.
The most urgent task now was to find something to eat...
He was just too hungry.
For an ordinary person, eating, drinking, and relieving oneself were the most important aspects of surviving in the wilderness... or, more accurately, in another world.
Thankfully, his memory was good enough to recall the details from a novel he hadn't picked up for more than half a year.
"Where are you going now?" A cold voice appeared from behind Luo Ning.
Lilulu was very resistant to interact with Luo Ning, following him at a certain distance.
During their walk, although Lilulu had tried to attack Luo Ning several times, she always failed.
Luo Ning still didn't understand why Lilulu hated him so much.
With her fierce and ferocious appearance, Lilulu didn't look like she would provide any answers.
"I am going to the forest ahead. There should be plants there, I am hungry, and I need to find something to eat." Luo Ning answered her.
"...You seem to remember the world you abandoned very clearly."
She muttered softly, her silver bangs covering her eyes.
Luo Ning didn't hear her clearly and looked back at her with a puzzled expression."Heh, do you know the name of the forest ahead?"
Lilulu didn't repeat her previous sentence, but asked Luo Ning another question.
Luo Ning hesitated for a moment and couldn't answer.
Because the content of the book didn't mention the forest, although it existed on the map, it was never named. After all, the protagonist in the book had not set foot here.
"The name of that forest is 'Bamiris Forest'."
Unexpectedly, Lilulu took the initiative to introduce it to Luo Ning for the first time.
However, soon her sinister face revealed sharp teeth, laughing maliciously.
"'Bamiris Forest', my Demon King's lair."
At first, Luo Ning thought the name 'Bamiris' sounded familiar, wondering if it was a setting he had written.
After Lilulu's reminder, he realized.
Bamiris was Lilulu's surname!
Lilulu Yuki Bamiris
Luo Ning's steps paused.
The smile on Lilulu's face intensified, thinking that the foolish human had finally realized that they were jumping into a fire pit.
"Your home..." Luo Ning hesitated to speak.
Lilulu inadvertently raised her head, her face showing some smugness, and her flat chest was also sticking out with it.
She was waiting for Luo Ning to show a terrified look.
"Is there food?" Luo Ning asked.
"Wha..." In astonishment, Lilulu bit her own tongue.
She quickly covered her mouth, the corners of her eyes brimming with physiological tears.
Luo Ning caught all her actions in his eyes, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
This Demon King's character setting indeed had the word 'careless'.
Because she was designed to be too strong, all her abilities were too perfect. But she was a villain, and villains were destined to be defeated by the protagonist in the book, so Luo Ning designed some shortcomings in other areas.
However, Luo Ning remembered that when he wrote the character outline, the Demon King had a 'talkative' attribute.
Because villains died from talking too much, this was an old routine. When the protagonist killed the Demon King in a desperate situation, it was because the Demon King was talking nonsense next to him, giving the protagonist time to fight back.
But this Demon King behind him... seemed a bit clumsy, yet somehow also had a calm and rational feel?
"Untie me." Lilulu became angry, and the scythe in her hand was placed horizontally in front of Luo Ning.
Luo Ning stopped, the scythe's blade revealing a cold edge less than two centimeters from his neck.
For a modern person, the sharpest thing they had ever touched was undoubtedly a fruit knife... When such a thing that could cut a person in half with a single stroke was in front of him, he felt somewhat terrified.
Although this was the fifth time someone had threatened his neck today.
"Untie what?"
Luo Ning knowingly asked, his face calm, but his heart was in a panic.
"Undo that hateful magic just now, as well as your tricks, and I'll kill you right now."
"That's not some hateful magic, I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't know any magic." Luo Ning confessed.
This wasn't a sign of weakness, Lilulu already knew Luo Ning's strength. But Luo Ning was confident that the pledged Lilulu couldn't hurt a single hair of his.
As the creator of this world's rules, Luo Ning wasn't sure who could outplay whom.
Luo Ning's answer made Lilulu more certain of her guess.
The man in front of her was very weak, an ordinary person who she could easily kill without breaking a sweat.
But... he deceived her with his cunning tricks!
Lilulu frowned, her face full of effort, and her cherry-pink lips were pursed into a straight line.She had been trying very hard to push the sickle blade in her hand forward, but her hand simply wouldn't respond, unable to move at all.
All she could do was watch helplessly as Luo Ning's neck remained unharmed at the edge of her weapon.
"Untie me, and I'll grant you another wish, no, three wishes."
"What do you want? Wealth and power? Money? Status? I can give you all of these, after all, I am the strongest Demon King on the surface of the Demon Realm…"
"No need." Luo Ning turned his head to glance at Lilulu, interrupting her words.
His eyebrows slightly curved, the corners of his mouth raised, a gentle smile on his face. He said,
"All I want is you."
Lilulu: "..."
Faced with such a sweet-talking statement, Lilulu was first startled and then became fully alert.
This man's words... could bewitch one's heart!
