Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 23)

Gu Shengyin hurried non-stop and finally arrived at Starlight Forest.

The closer she got to this place, the stronger the reaction of the Symbiotic Contract became. Clearly, she was very close to the Demon King now.

However, since that bout of chest pain she had felt once before, she had not experienced that discomfort again. It seemed that the Demon King’s crisis was resolved.

It made sense, after all, he was an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years; it wouldn’t be easy for him to run into trouble.

But despite what she thought, Gu Shengyin still felt uneasy without seeing him in person.

The Starlight Forest was fraught with perils, and although the Elf Clan loved nature, they weren’t very friendly toward humans, especially those who trespassed on their territory uninvited.

The multitude of strange creatures and plant Demon Beasts in the forest alone were enough to stop most people in their tracks.

However, Gu Shengyin, who had the system in her, clearly did not fall into the category of ‘most people’.

Night had fallen, and Gu Shengyin chose a safe environment to rest for the night.

She closed her eyes and chatted with the system, “System, do you think he could be reincarnating in this world with me too?”

System: “Unable to retrieve target information, cannot answer host’s question.”

With Gu Shengyin as its host, the system had to admit it had broadened its horizons. All sorts of situations that had never happened before seemed normal when they happened around Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin: “I don’t know why, but the desire to find him in this world isn’t as strong as before…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Shengyin suddenly changed color.

She felt the Fighting Spirit inside her growing at a terrifying speed, completely beyond her own control.

This was the power of the Symbiotic Contract.

What on earth had the Demon King done to her to enhance her strength so greatly?

Gu Shengyin’s thoughts started to blur; she was having trouble controlling the growth rate of the Fighting Spirit inside her, and at this rate, it was unclear what might become of her.

“Boom!” Gu Shengyin felt something shatter and, with that, her consciousness slipped into a deep sleep.

At the same time, not too far away from there, within the Elf Race, a man with black hair opened his eyes.

A dark light flashed across his gaze, and in an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

As soon as Gu Shengyin regained consciousness, she was enveloped in the familiar scent of Lotus Fragrance.

She sniffed nostalgically, moved her head a little, and then after a moment’s delay, she realized she was in a familiar embrace.

“Awake?” asked a voice with a hint of amusement, low and deep.

The Demon King looked at the person in his arms who was nuzzling against him just like the Siamese Cat he raised.

This voice? Gu Shengyin opened her eyes to meet a face with a smile.

Gu Shengyin blinked once, blinked again; indeed, it was a familiar face.

“Demon King?”

The man laughed and bent to kiss her cheek, “You’re not mistaken, my dear, it’s me.”

Gu Shengyin took a deep sniff; the scent was unmistakable. So the lover she had been seeking all this time, was the Demon King?

She looked toward the man’s neck. The Demon King was wearing a black robe, and Gu Shengyin reached out directly.

“Rip!”

Gu Shengyin had not anticipated that the fabric would tear so easily.

She looked seriously at the man and said expressionlessly, “Sorry, my hand slipped.”

Despite her words, she kept glancing at the area below the man’s neck, and indeed, saw the familiar lotus mark.

The man didn’t care whether it was a slip of her hand or not: “I didn’t expect you to be so passionate upon waking up, my dear. I must not neglect the beauty.”

A fiery kiss immediately descended.
