“Who’s there? Can’t a person get some sleep?”
Duoluolisi opened her eyes groggily, propped herself up, and rubbed her eyes, sitting on the ground in a duck-like position.
“Little brat~”
‘She even called me little brat.’
She looked around and found herself sitting in a dark red space.
“Over here, little brat.”
A seductive female voice sounded above her.
She followed the sound and looked up.
Ahead and above, a mass of blood mist floated high up, with a pair of scarlet eyes inside staring down at her.
“Tsk tsk tsk, you look exactly like that stinky white-haired woman.”
The blood mist let out a mocking laugh.
‘Looks exactly like that stinky white-haired woman?’
Duoluolisi was stunned.
She quickly stood up to check her body.
‘Huh?’
‘How did I transform? I didn’t say any incantation?’
‘Could it be that I sleepwalked after falling asleep and transformed while talking in my sleep?’
“I didn’t expect that stinky white-haired woman to have offspring. But you’re really weak—can’t even beat a Shadow Demon.”
The blood mist sized up Duoluolisi and muttered to itself.
‘Huh? How does this blood mist know I couldn’t beat the Shadow Demon?’
“Who are you?”
Duoluolisi calmed down and demanded of the blood mist.
“Oh? You ask who I am? Listen well, little brat! I am the Origin of All Blood, the Supreme Existence that controls blood, the Ruler of the Scarlet Night…”
The blood mist began reciting various titles endlessly, leaving Duoluolisi confused.
‘What is this thing babbling about?’
“…The Demon God of Blood who strikes fear into countless living beings, Meiluodi!”
‘Ah, I caught the last sentence.’
‘No wonder it sounded somewhat familiar, the same voice that controlled me in the ruins that day to frame Feili. So it’s the Blood Demon God Meiluodi.’
‘I thought I was pulled into some unknown realm by someone and was a bit wary. But it turns out to be Meiluodi sealed inside the Holy Sword. Then I’m not afraid. With the seal, Meiluodi can only talk big.’
‘I’ve seen too many plots like this—parasites in a human body like Demon Gods, evil spirits, or weird stuff pressuring the host in their mind. You can’t be cowardly with them. The more you back down, the more they’ll ride you, and later they’ll keep arguing in your head, so annoying.’
‘This Meiluodi almost got me killed by monsters. Can Duoluolisi show her a kind face?’
“Wow~ So it’s Meiluodi. I thought it was someone else.”
Duoluolisi covered her mouth with one hand, feigning shock.
“You damned little brat, so rude! How dare you call me by name?”
The blood mist got angry at Duoluolisi’s reaction.
“Mm-hmm? Isn’t a name meant to be called?”
Duoluolisi looked innocent.
“Or do you want me to call you something else? Great Scarlet Ruler? Or Supreme God of Blood? What kind of titles are those? They sound so tacky~”
“I have already announced my name. If you don’t…”
Meiluodi’s voice trembled, as if suppressing rage.
‘What if I don’t? What can she do?’
But Duoluolisi felt she should stop.
If Meiluodi really had some trick and detonated, she would be dead.
“Alright~ My name is Duoluolisi. Are you going to curse me? Lord Demon God isn’t that petty, is she?”
She put away her previous annoying expression and looked calmly at Meiluolisi.
“Very well, Duoluolisi Kasidiluo. You are the first to dare provoke me like this.”
Meiluodi’s eyes flickered with scarlet light, staring intently at this clueless little brat.
“Is that so? Then I’m honored~”
Duoluolisi placed a hand on her chest.
“But Lord Demon God, please don’t casually add someone else’s surname to my name.”
“Heh.”
Meiluodi let out a cold laugh, and the blood mist began to slowly dissipate.
Her eyes lingered on Duoluolisi for a moment before completely disappearing into the dark red space.
Only Duoluolisi remained in the space.
She put her hands on her hips, looking satisfied.
‘Feeling good after venting.’
After a long time, she realized something was wrong.
“Lord Demon God?”
No response.
Duoluolisi panicked.
“Hey! Lord Demon God, don’t go! Let me out!”
