As Jiang Xiaofeng sat in his seat, Yae Miko thoughtfully slipped her hand under the crown and massaged Jiang Xiaofeng temples.

He instinctively shuddered, looked at Ying, and slowly spoke.

"This is the second time, Ying."

"When I first met you, I told you that my favors are not something to be taken lightly."

This is the second time you've offended me.

You have one more chance.

"If you still don't repent, I can simply go to another timeline and drag Ying from that timeline to this one to replace you."

"Or, the fate of the zither will be your fate as well."

Jiang Xiaofeng looked indifferently at Ying, whose body was stiff.

You should know what the zither looks like now.

"It has been Mental Seal, and is completely unified with my will."

"I believe you'll like that feeling."

"Jin and Lisa both really liked it; they even cheered enthusiastically."

Yae Miko: "..."

Her hand, which was pressing on Jiang Xiaofeng's temples, paused slightly, then continued pressing as if nothing had happened...

Jiang Xiaofeng stood up, walked over to Ying who wanted to get up and run away but couldn't muster the strength, and pressed down on Ying's shoulder.

"Or perhaps you'd like this guy's fate."

Ying felt a blur before her eyes, and then she found herself in a black world.

What terrified Ying was that in front of her was someone being hung up... Ying.

That is, the Abyss Lumine from that timeline.

"I strangled her brother to death in front of her, and then erased that memory from her mind."

"However, this guy is clearly quite powerful. He actually managed to briefly regain his memories using the power of the Void and took the opportunity to attack me."

Jiang Xiaofeng's voice suddenly appeared behind Ying.

Ignoring Ying's expression as she looked at him, Jiang Xiaofeng walked straight to Abyss Lumine, who was hanging upside down.

"Now, this guy is my test subject."

"I experimented on many of the gadgets I developed on her, including a device that allowed me to switch between Void creatures and real life."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng patted Abyss Lumine's chest.

Abyss Lumine's body quickly turned black and broke free from the chains.

Then, it roared and pounced on Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng easily grabbed the guy's neck and snapped it cleanly.

Abyss Lumine transformed into a wisp of black mist and drifted back onto the chains, still suspended in place.

"This is one of the experiments."

Amidst Ying's surprised, angry, and bewildered gazes, Jiang Xiaofeng demonstrated various experiments on Abyss Lumine.

"This has been modified into a robot."

"This firefly will go berserk and attack all living things around it."

"This Ying can disassemble its body parts at will without feeling anything."

"Oh, Ying, don't worry, these Ying are all clones of my collection. I wouldn't dare to waste the original like this, otherwise I would have gone crazy long ago."

As Ying watched Jiang Xiaofeng fiddling with the body parts of the person who looked exactly like her, the anger that had initially welled up inside her gradually turned into fear.

Finally, Ying felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing that Ying was on the verge of collapse, Jiang Xiaofeng directly brought Ying to Abyss Lumine.

"Here we go again? Let's finish this quickly, you're taking too long."

The cold, indifferent voice reached Ying's ears.

Ying the Big Eye at herself in the black dress, lying motionless on the bed...

Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged and turned to leave.

"You two have a good talk, I won't disturb you."

Jiang Xiaofeng walked to the side, and a chair appeared out of thin air. He sat down on it.

At the same time, Abyss Lumine's empty eyes slowly focused.

"Who are you?"

"You... are I too?"

"No... you are me, yet you are not me."

"Could it be the 'disobedient me' that the devil was talking about?!"

Before Ying could answer, she saw Abyss Lumine grab her hand.

"It's definitely you! There's still light in your eyes! You're not the person I am now!"

"Listen carefully, I... You absolutely cannot go against that demon, you absolutely cannot!"

"Remember this: never go against him. Anyone who does, whether human or god, will come to a bad end!"

"I can't escape now, but you! You absolutely must not defy him!"

"I'll tell you! Remember this! Don't resist him!"

"Ah!"

Abyss Lumine's figure suddenly disappeared.

"Are you done talking? Then let's leave, Ying."

Ying felt dizzy and her consciousness gradually faded.

Only the phrase that Abyss Lumine repeatedly mentioned, "Don't resist that demon," was firmly etched in Fire's heart.

Ying suddenly woke up.

Jiang Xiaofeng sat in his seat, as if nothing had happened.

Yae Miko and Kitsune Saiguu went to Inazuma City for fun.

After Sasayuri and Mikoshi Chiyo finished playing Animal Chess, they started playing China Chess, which Jiang Xiaofeng had created.

Ying silently watched the scene unfold before her, then suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong, Ying? Are you leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer?"

Mikoshi Chiyo had no idea what had just happened, and they still smiled and asked Ying for her opinion.

Ying silently shook her head and walked straight towards the door.

"Ying, if there's a next time, I won't be so lenient."

Jiang Xiaofeng's cold voice came through.

Ying's walking body suddenly stopped.

After a long pause, Ying slowly spoke, her voice hoarse. "You are a demon."

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head. "That's how Qin described me before I brainwashed her."

"As for why the piano was brainwashed... is that reason enough to explain why she's disobedient?"

Ying stopped talking and left.

Jiang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Ying leave.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's relaxed expression, Mikoshi Chiyo laughed, "Looks like you're trying to fool people again."

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.

"It wasn't a scam; I just created an illusion to scare her."

"Oh, although reality and illusion aren't too different..."

Jiang Xiaofeng isn't some mad scientist who enjoys developing all sorts of strange gadgets for use on the human body.

However, Abyss Lumine is indeed not having a good time.

After all, Jiang Xiaofeng would go to the Void whenever he had a chance to vent his Abyss Lumine.

After a while, Abyss Lumine completely accepted the situation and stopped trying to escape.

Better to live a wretched life than to die a glorious death, especially since Jiang Xiaofeng promised to resurrect Kong someday...

Abyss Lumine has completely given up.

After all, the Abyss of that timeline had been completely devoured by Jiang Xiaofeng. Abyss Lumine had lost all its reliance; it couldn't fight back, nor could it resist, so it simply accepted being bitten by a dog...

So, in reality, Abyss Lumine still had some popularity at this time.

However... the Firefly of this world... might be about to turn evil...

"Turn to the dark side? How is that possible?"

Jiang Xiaofeng sneered.

If you dare to turn evil, Jiang Xiaofeng will dare to collect the evil Yingye...
