Shen Qiqi sighed and whispered in Liu Shuang's ear, "Senior sister, let's put this matter aside for now. I just want to take a bath. Do you know where there is a public bathhouse nearby?"

Liu Shuang glanced at her and nodded. "Follow me."

In the demon realm, it was customary to hold a grand banquet to reward soldiers after a victory.

However, because of Shen Qiqi's unexpected appearance, the lively feast abruptly ended, and everyone was shocked to see the two leaving together.

They couldn't believe it was really Shen Qiqi. Wasn't she dead for three years already?

Liu Shuang led Shen Qiqi away from the crowd, holding her hand tightly, fingers interlocked and skin pressed closely together.

Shen Qiqi followed behind, amused, thinking, "Is she afraid I'll run away?"

As they walked, Shen Qiqi noticed that despite being the main city of the demon realm, Snow City was not as eerie and terrifying as depicted in novels and movies.

On the contrary, it was filled with sunlight and grand buildings. Except for the open and free culture, clothing, and architectural style, it was not much different from major cities in the human world.

The only peculiar thing about the city was the long and slender glass lanterns that illuminated the streets on both sides, emitting a faint white light even in broad daylight.

Because the demon realm was located in the farthest and most desolate part of the continent, sunlight was scarce, and even on the brightest and hottest afternoons, only thin rays could penetrate, and the temperature was low. It was not until the collapse of the Heavenly Realm that Liu Shuang demolished the top of the demon realm and dispersed the lingering clouds, that sunlight finally shone in.

The demon lord's palace was located in the center of Snow City, resembling a black tower. This towering tower served as a landmark that could be seen from any corner of the city, and it was a magnificent sight.

Liu Shuang teleported her to the foot of the tower, where two silver-helmeted soldiers guarded the black tower gate. They were startled to see Liu Shuang suddenly appear, but then quickly lowered their heads and saluted in unison, "Demon lord!"

They exchanged a surprised glance, wondering how the demon lord had returned so quickly and why there was a person with her, obscured by a black cloak.

They did not dare to scrutinize further and stepped aside, allowing the towering black gates to open slowly.

Inside the tower, the scene was not as solemn as expected.

The walls were also lit by numerous glowing glass lanterns, resembling a sparkling galaxy.

Shen Qiqi followed Liu Shuang up the spiral staircase inside the tower...

The tall gate of the tower slowly opened before her eyes. The interior scene was not as solemn as she had imagined. The corridors were also lit by countless fluorescent glass lamps. Looking up, it was like a sparkling galaxy.

Shen Qiqi followed the spiral staircase inside the tower, and along the way, she encountered many servants walking with their heads down. When they saw the two of them coming back, they only whispered "Demon Lord" and hurriedly walked away without even raising their heads, as if they had seen a ghost.

Liu Shuang led her into one of the rooms. As soon as the door was pushed open, a dense white fog instantly obscured her vision.

Shen Qiqi rubbed her eyes and saw that there was a very large pool in the room, surrounded by mist, with clear and shallow water. Several servants dressed in their attire stood around the pool, holding baskets of flower petals, as if they were going to have a petal bath.
