Chapter 122 It's a pity his IQ didn't return.

Xu Ruo lowered his head with a look of helplessness:

"It's nothing, I'm just happy you've gained new power..."

While Mira had indeed successfully absorbed the power of the evil god contained within the demon remains, just as Xu Ruo had theorized...

But unfortunately...

Looking at her carefree and heartless appearance...

Well... it seems that the noble and arrogant Vampire Progenitor of the past is truly gone for good...

"You're clearly disappointed, yet you're still acting tough!"

Mira gave a playful giggle and suddenly grabbed Xu Ruo's hand:

"Alright, alright, stop sighing. You deserve credit for me obtaining this power."

"Don't worry, with this power, I'll be able to protect you better from now on."

"In the future, whether it's Four-Winged Angels or the Six-Winged Holy Lord... I'll send them all flying for you!"

As Mira spoke, she didn't forget to show off her egg-sized little fist.

Though it looked like it was trying to be intimidating, that tiny fist wasn't even half the size of Xu Ruo's; it really wasn't very convincing.

However...

Compared to Mira's seemingly domineering declaration, Xu Ruo keenly caught a specific detail—

"Wait, how do you know about Four-Winged Angels and the Six-Winged Holy Lord?"

Mira blanked for a moment, seemingly not having expected herself to let that slip.

But soon, she gave a mysterious smile:

"Oh, you'll find out later. In any case, you can rest easy for now!"

After saying that, Mira puffed out her chest and patted it confidently.

Seeing her like this, Xu Ruo didn't want to let her gloss over it and unceremoniously pinched her slightly baby-fat-filled little cheek—

"You think you can fool me?"

"Tell me, during the time you were unconscious... what exactly did you see in your dream?"

Mira finally seemed to admit defeat, sticking out her tongue and shrinking her head as she confessed honestly:

"I—I'll tell you, okay? Can you stop pinching my face? It hurts..."

"Actually, it's nothing much... I just seemed to dream of a strange woman."

"She looked a bit like me, but..."

"I could feel that she was neither me nor Lilia."

"She told me that all deities were created by the two great primordials."

"Among them, the Primal Light created the Heavenly Gods of the God Realm, and the Primal Darkness created the Evil Gods of the Demonic Hell."

"There are twenty-six in total: thirteen Heavenly Gods and thirteen evil gods."

"And Angels and Demons... are actually two types of living beings created by the Heavenly Gods and evil gods respectively."

"However, because the birth of demons involved the Primal Darkness..."

"Consequently, the Demon Race possesses a special immortality."

"As long as their Evil Souls are not extinguished, they can be reborn in the Demonic Hell at any time."

"Afterward, some problems occurred with the two great primordials, and they completely vanished from this world."

"Before they disappeared, a traitor appeared among the thirteen evil gods, resulting in only seven evil gods remaining..."

Even if Mira didn't say the rest, Xu Ruo could guess the gist of it.

It seemed...

The balance between the Heavenly Gods and the evil gods was completely shattered due to the disappearance of the two great primordials.

That was why the evil gods and their Demon Race subordinates were sealed in the Demonic Hell...

Having gained a rough understanding of this unknown history, Xu Ruo let go of her face.

Seeing Xu Ruo let go, the teary-eyed Mira hurriedly rubbed her little cheek, which had been pinched red—

"Hiss~~~"

"That really hurt..."

"You've bullied me I don't know how many times, how do you still not know how to be gentle with a lady..."

"What if you broke my face?"

Xu Ruo amusedly tapped her little head:

"Alright, it's good that you can even feel pain..."

As he spoke, a flash of black light appeared in Xu Ruo's other hand.

The moment the blood ghost demon blade manifested, Xu Ruo didn't hesitate to take this incredibly sharp divine weapon and make a cut on his own wrist.

Xu Ruo's movement was so sudden, how could Mira possibly react in time?

By the time she did, a spray of blood had already burst from Xu Ruo's wrist!

"Xu Ruo!"

Mira cried out in alarm, hurriedly trying to cover Xu Ruo's wound with her hand.

However, a miraculous scene occurred—

The wound on his wrist was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it soon returned to its original state.

Even though his wrist had been cut open, Xu Ruo's expression remained unchanged.

"Perhaps it's due to the influence of the seal..."

"I have a sense of pain, but it's negligible."

"And even if there's a wound, even a fatal one can be restored almost in an instant."

"I actually quite envy you, making such a fuss just from having your face pinched..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the teary-eyed Mira suddenly threw herself into a hug.

Accompanied by a faint milky fragrance, Mira actually pulled Xu Ruo's head directly into her bosom—

"Don't..."

"Even if you're fine, I don't want to see you get hurt..."

Mira's voice choked up, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.

Xu Ruo was smothered by the 'motorboating' and couldn't speak, so he could only pat Mira's back to offer some comfort.

After a while, Mira's emotions finally began to stabilize.

Releasing her hold, crystalline teardrops still hung in her large eyes, making her look exceptionally pitiable and lovely.

Xu Ruo reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Mira's eyes:

"Alright, it was just a scratch."

Mira pouted; although she still felt a bit aggrieved, her emotions had finally calmed down.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful in the future."

"Besides, I have an absolute immortal body. As long as my opponents aren't you guys, there won't be any problems."
