The switch was pressed, and the room was instantly illuminated by the dazzling incandescent light.

After getting the spare key for the room from the property management, Lin Fan carried Longyue and stepped into the home he had not set foot in for a long time.

The furniture in the living room was neatly arranged, everything was no different from before he left. It was just that due to being uninhabited for a long time, the room was visibly covered in a layer of dust.

Longyue looked around the room with curiosity, feeling greatly astonished in her heart.

“Demon Sovereign, this… is your home?”

In her impression, the Demon Sovereign’s home should have been a scene like hell itself, with a dining table crafted from skeletons, chairs stitched from human skin, and human heads displayed on the walls.

However, the scene before her looked completely different from what she had imagined. Apart from the unfamiliar decorations and furniture, it was just an ordinary room.

“That’s right, this is my home.”

Lin Fan tossed Longyue, who was in his arms, onto the sofa. With his hands on his hips, he looked around the room with a face full of nostalgia.

Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary corporate drone, dreaming of having a home of his own. After working hard for several years, he finally saved up enough money to buy this home of over seventy square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, a separate kitchen and bathroom, and a small balcony.

Not long after buying this house, he had accidentally transmigrated to the Immortal Demon Continent.

Fortunately, he had bought it outright with a full payment at the time, so he didn't need to make monthly mortgage payments. Otherwise, the house might have been repossessed by the bank long ago due to defaulted payments.

What was strange, however, was that although he had been away from this world for several hundred years, the room was surprisingly still here, and the changes in the entire city didn't seem to be that great…

“Hmph, Demon Sovereign! You brought this Empress here to humiliate and torture this Empress, didn’t you!”

“I have long heard of your Demon Clan’s methods. What you demons love most is to torture the physical body, and to destroy one’s spirit and will bit by bit!”

“I will absolutely not be afraid! No matter what you do to this Empress, I will not submit!”

Longyue clenched her delicate fists and gritted her teeth, her pretty face revealing a solemn expression of someone facing death calmly. But her uncontrollably trembling, delicate body made her words a little less convincing.

Lin Fan deliberately looked at her snow-white chest, a wicked smile laden with meaning appearing on his face.

“As expected of the Empress of the Immortal Realm. This spirit of sacrificing one's life for righteousness truly earns this sovereign’s admiration.”

“I see that the Empress seems to be quite attractive. It seems you have already steeled your resolve?”

“You, you…! You’re despicable! Shameless! Lewd! Pervert!”

“Even if I die, I will never let you have your way!”

Noticing Lin Fan’s gaze, Longyue was instantly humiliated and enraged. She hurriedly covered the front of her clothes, so flustered that tears welled up in her eyes.

“Hahaha, rest assured. If I really wanted to make a move on you, I would have done so long ago when you were unconscious. Why would I need to wait until now?”

“Empress, it seems you are being a bit too full of yourself.”

Lin Fan smiled with delight, completely satisfied.

He had fought with Longyue countless times, and in the past, she always had a cold and aloof posture, high and mighty. It was extremely rare to see her in this state of a frightened little woman.

“You… bastard!”

Feeling that she had been teased, Longyue gritted her teeth in anger, but the anxiety in her heart eased slightly.

Although she didn't know how much spiritual energy the Demon Sovereign had retained, one thing was certain: his own remaining spiritual energy was definitely greater than hers!

If he really wanted to harm her, he could have done so long ago.

“Since you’re not trying to torture this Empress, why did you bring this me here?”

Faced with Longyue’s doubt, Lin Fan just glanced at her and said flatly:

“Because you have nowhere else to go, right? We can’t have our noble Empress wandering the streets, can we?”

Hearing this, Longyue’s expression faltered. Then, her brow furrowed slightly, and she showed her displeasure:

“Are you pitying me?”

“Who do you think this Empress is! I am the Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly

Palace! Even without the Demon Sovereign taking me in, nothing will happen to me!”

“Really? Empress, you’ve lost all your cultivation, and you look so tempting it's a crime. Who knows what you might run into outside late at night? So hard to guess~”

Lin Fan teased with profound meaning.

As soon as these words were spoken, Longyue looked out the window at the silent night and couldn’t help but fall into silence.

Just as the Demon Sovereign said, she didn't understand this world at all, and crucially, the cultivation she relied on was gone. Who knew what she might encounter outside…

Seeing that he had successfully intimidated Longyue, Lin Fan then continued to add:

“I'm not pitying you, just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“If you were out there on your own, I fear you’d really be sent to a psychiatric hospital by the next day.”

“You! Are you trying to humiliate this Empress!”

“Besides, even if I were really sent to that whatever-psychiatric-hospital, it has nothing to do with you, Demon Sovereign, right!”

Longyue’s brows knitted as she glared, retorting in a delicate voice filled with righteous indignation.

Although she didn’t know what kind of place that psychiatric hospital was, from the sound of it, it seemed like an insult to her intelligence.

Lin Fan walked into the bathroom with a rag in his hand and replied without turning his head:

“Where you get sent certainly has nothing to do with me, but if by any chance you were to rat me out, it would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble for me.”

“Hmph, even so, how can I, the majestic Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace, be taken in by you, Demon Sovereign!”

“Empress, you’ve misunderstood.”

Lin Fan walked out of the bathroom with a wet rag and tossed one to her.

“I am not taking you in for free. Rather, in the capacity of a landlord, I am renting the house to you. You have to pay rent.”

“R-Rent…?”

Longyue subconsciously caught the rag, staring blankly at it in her hands.

Lin Fan held up his index finger and continued to explain leisurely:

“That’s right, one thousand in rent per month. Food, lodging, utilities, and internet are included.”

“I am kind-hearted and know that the Empress certainly has no money on hand, so the first month’s rent is waived; it will be calculated from the second month.”

“However, although the rent is waived, it is on the condition that the Empress is responsible for helping to clean the room.”

“So, get to work! Empress!”

With that said, Lin Fan smiled and pointed at the rag in Longyue’s hands.

“Tsk! As expected of the Demon Sovereign! So incredibly calculating!”

Longyue clicked her tongue and shot Lin Fan a contemptuous glare with her pretty face.

“However, this is fine too. This way, I won't owe you, Demon Sovereign, anything.”

As her voice fell, Longyue picked up the rag and began to clean, crisply and efficiently.

Lin Fan took the other rag and walked into the bedroom to clean.

The busy figures of the two shuttled back and forth to every corner of the room. The only sound in the room was the rustling of their labor.

Longyue was on her hands and knees wiping the floor, her forehead drenched in sweat, so tired she was panting for breath.

From childhood to adulthood, even when facing countless powerful enemies who were also Immortal Emperors, she had never been this tired.

A room as dusty as this, she could have cleaned in the past with a Purification Spell at the flick of a finger. Now, she had to clean every corner by hand, bit by bit, just like a mortal…

It was only today that she realized how inconvenient a mortal body was…

But in comparison, what infuriated her more was, why did she, the majestic Empress of the Immortal Realm, have to clean a room together with the Demon Sovereign…!

Damn it! This is infuriating!!!

The more Longyue thought about it, the angrier she became, and the force she applied with her hands couldn't help but increase.

She had a feeling that she had been tricked. The Demon Sovereign bringing her here was perhaps just to make her a free laborer, to help him clean his room!

This must be a disguised form of torture for her, it must be…!
