Under Suhei’s relentless and persistent care day and night, he finally managed to restore Yao Zuizui to her original form.
Transforming once again, Yao Zuizui danced with joy, utterly delighted.
Having regained her human form with great difficulty, Yao Zuizui was beside herself with excitement.
Taking advantage of Suhei’s momentary inattention, she slipped away to another realm for a few days of fun.
Upon her return, Suhei’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot, and he immediately announced one thing:
He was going to marry her.
Faced with Suhei’s stern expression, Yao Zuizui trembled and said, “You haven’t even proposed yet!”
Suhei snorted coldly, his expression unyielding. “What if you run away again? We can take our time with the proposal—let’s get married first!”
He would listen to her in everything else.
But on this matter, there was no room for negotiation.
Yao Zuizui also realized that she had grown too accustomed to her carefree ways and hadn’t taken Suhei seriously, which was why she had run off in a moment of joy. Feeling a pang of guilt, she reluctantly agreed to his verbal proposal but demanded that Suhei propose to her anew every year—with romance and creativity.
Suhei agreed without hesitation, completely unaware that centuries later, he would be scratching his head in frustration every anniversary, racking his brains and regretting ever falling into this trap.
How could he possibly come up with hundreds of different proposal ideas?
And they still had tens of thousands of years ahead of them! What was he supposed to do?
But that’s a story for another time…
Meanwhile, the immortal realm was abuzz with the news that Immortal Lord Suhei and High Immortal Qingzhuo were getting married.
For a time, emotions ran high, and the topic became the first thing immortals asked each other upon meeting:
“Did you hear? Immortal Lord Suhei and High Immortal Qingzhuo are getting married!”
With endless lifespans, most immortals—aside from workaholics like Suhei—preferred visiting each other, strolling around, chatting over tea, and sampling delicacies collected from various realms while admiring rare treasures.
But lately, the hottest topic of discussion among the immortals was the dramatic love story between Immortal Lord Suhei and High Immortal Qingzhuo.
“I heard their fate began ten thousand years ago when Immortal Lord Suhei sacrificed a hundred thousand years of his cultivation!”
“High Immortal Qingzhuo saved Immortal Lord Suhei’s life, and in gratitude, he offered himself in marriage~”
“Hmph, she chased him for so long—how shameless that she actually succeeded!” Some fairies couldn’t hide their jealousy.
“Love truly does conquer all!”
While the discussions raged on, Suhei grew furious.
He heard what they were saying.
Su Bai?
Su Bai had long been torn to shreds by him, annihilated in both body and soul!
He couldn’t stand hearing these immortals casually linking Su Bai’s name with Zuizui’s.
He was seething with jealousy!
On the day the immortals came to offer congratulations, Suhei donned his long-unused black robes, his sleeves billowing ominously as he strode before the crowd.
In a voice that brooked no argument, he declared, “I am Suhei, not Su Bai!”
“Listen carefully! The one marrying Zuizui is Suhei, not Su Bai!”
The immortals paled, and in an instant, magical artifacts and spells flew wildly across the hall, all aimed at Suhei in extreme wariness.
They prepared to attack him en masse.
Suhei sneered and summoned a hundred thousand elite demon soldiers to surround the hall.
A fight? Who was afraid of whom?
He might as well destroy the immortal realm and take Zuizui back to the demon realm.
…
Fortunately, Yao Zuizui arrived just in time to stop the impending battle.
“Everyone, listen to me! Suhei has no intention of destroying the immortal realm—all of this was Immortal Lord Su Bai’s wrongdoing!” She stood between Suhei and the immortals, shielding him protectively.
Suhei’s gaze softened as he took a step back, his eyes fixed solely on her delicate figure, ignoring everything else.
But the immortals remained skeptical.
“High Immortal Qingzhuo, are you being held hostage by the Demon King?”
“High Immortal Qingzhuo, don’t be afraid—we’ll save you!”
“High Immortal Qingzhuo might already be under the Demon King’s soul control—be careful, everyone!”
…
Yao Zuizui quickly pulled something from her storage pouch.
Luckily, she had prepared for this moment, gathering evidence of Su Bai’s misdeeds over the years.
She laid out the proof before the immortals and recounted Su Bai’s actions in detail.
The immortals listened in shock and disgust, their anger mounting.
Upon reflection, it seemed Suhei had actually done more good than Su Bai.
“Last time, the Demon King Suhei even helped my A’Li remove a demonic curse—he’s truly kind-hearted!” Fairy Qingli tearfully recalled the incident.
“Once, the Demon King Suhei even thanked me—he was very polite!” A young attendant who had served Suhei spoke up in his defense.
“Once, the Demon King Suhei even chatted with us. Though he didn’t say much, he smiled to show friendliness!” A group of immortals nodded dazedly, realizing the Demon King had actually tried to fit in.
“Another time…”
The immortals began chattering about Suhei’s good deeds.
Yao Zuizui stifled a laugh—this was all because she had demanded Suhei perform one good deed daily and report it to her, believing his past killings were excessive.
Who knew he’d accidentally won over so many immortals?
…
The immortals sighed in amazement, acknowledging that the Demon King had indeed been friendly in recent years and hadn’t committed any atrocities.
Thus, the immortal and demon realms formally established friendly relations.
Yao Zuizui married Suhei in a grand ceremony, becoming the ambassador of peace between the two realms.
