As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yunyang's expression froze. Xiang Xueer looked at him and burst into laughter, "Oh, I was just teasing you! Look at how scared you are. Don't be so innocent, alright? It's really giving me a headache!"
She couldn't help but pinch her forehead. The man beside her was either an innocent boy or a serious tough guy; there was no suave and charming Handsome Guy around. My life is truly hard!
"Dead Girl, how dare you trick me!" Li Yunyang was furious and wanted to take revenge on Xiang Xueer. After a brief tug-of-war between the two, Xiang Xueer hooked her arm around his neck, "Alright, stop messing around. I was wrong, okay? Seriously, let me give you a kiss to make it up!"
She closed her eyes and leaned in. Her soft pink lips pursed slightly. For Xiang Xueer, kissing and hugging seemed quite ordinary; she didn't mind at all and even enjoyed it. As she put it, a kiss wouldn't cost her anything.
Li Yunyang stared at those honey-like lips, glanced around to see if anyone was watching, and then slowly leaned in, gently pecking those soft lips. They carried the fragrance of petals and a soft touch that left him wanting more as he prepared to kiss again.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the nearby bushes. A pair of Red Eyes scanned the darkness, and the evil aura could be felt by both of them even from a distance.
"Who’s there?" Xiang Xueer turned her head and shouted angrily into the darkness. The passion they had just ignited was extinguished. After they quickly approached the source of the evil aura and searched for a while, they found no suspicious figures.
"Did you feel that?" Li Yunyang frowned with a serious expression as he looked at Xiang Xueer. "That aura should belong to the Serpent Empress."
"Ah! Even I can sense that foul snake's presence, let alone you!" Xiang Xueer felt a wave of dread wash over her. Although she had heard rumors that the Serpent Empress was still alive, she had been unconscious at the time and never expected this troublemaker to come back so soon.
Li Yunyang cursed under his breath and was about to chase after it when Xiang Xueer stopped him, "No, let it go. We already have enough troubles lately. Just dealing with the Heart Demon is overwhelming enough; we don't have time to tangle with the Serpent Empress."
Xiang Xueer was indeed right. Since she had promised Ling Zhu to help her find her husband, they needed to focus on their current tasks first. As long as that foul snake didn’t come looking for trouble, they would be fine.
About an hour ago, in a forest roughly ten kilometers away, a woman dressed in a red long skirt swayed her slender waist as she twisted among the trees. A charming face adorned with a red cinnabar mole on her cheek accentuated her alluring smile at the corner of her lips.
Suddenly, the woman with Red Eyes flashed, and she raised her little finger to touch the corner of her lips, extending her tongue to lick the bloodstains at the edge of her lips. It turned out that this red color was not a cinnabar mole but remnants of blood left on her lips.
"The taste is not bad; indeed, the hearts of young girls are delicious!" The woman, still unsatisfied, stroked her lower abdomen and began to scan her surroundings. In an instant, she spotted a thin line glimmering coldly, as if it was about to hunt for its next prey.
In the Black Jungle across from her, a shadow flickered. The woman's lips curled into a chilling smile as she prepared to move forward to hunt. Suddenly, her expression darkened, and she fell to her knees in pain, clutching her abdomen and shouting, "My stomach! It hurts so much!"
Immediately after, beads of sweat covered her forehead as she rolled on the ground in agonizing pain. The shadow in the darkness gradually emerged—a figure cloaked in black that obscured its entire face. The white Ghost Face Mask looked menacingly at the woman lying on the ground.
"Serpent Empress, you have quite a bit of nerve to defy my orders," the Masked Man suddenly appeared, holding Serpent Empress's Snake Gallbladder in his hand. For him, it held the power of life and death; with just a slight movement of his finger, he could easily take her life.
"Master... please... don't squeeze!" Serpent Empress pleaded while rolling on the ground. The Mysterious Masked Man finally released his grip after giving Serpent Empress a harsh lesson. A pet must be properly trained when it makes mistakes; otherwise, it will repeat them.
The Masked Man stared at the gasping Serpent Empress on the ground, his deep black pupils glinting like Sword One as he fiercely glared at her: "Serpent Empress, I sent you to kill Xiang Xueer, and you dare to hide here leisurely eating a midnight snack? You must be tired of living."
Upon hearing this, Serpent Empress knelt in fear and began to explain incessantly: "Master, please let me explain! I once followed Lakers' instructions to kill Xiang Xueer. Although that woman was poisoned by Black Dragon Saint Lord's Miasma and I could have easily succeeded, suddenly a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere along with a Lizard Spirit. That guy was quite powerful and even stronger than me! I was severely injured and had to find a place to recuperate. Once I'm healed, I'll go right back to kill that woman."
Serpent Empress's words were filled with lies; very few were true. However, the Masked Man was well aware of her schemes. This time he did not assign her to kill Xiang Xueer but gave Serpent Empress another task.
"No need for that; I have another mission for you!" The Masked Man said slowly as he turned around, finally revealing a crescent-shaped cold smile: "I want you to kill Heart Demon for me."
"What? Heart Demon?" Upon hearing this, Serpent Empress immediately became conflicted. What kind of joke was this? Just killing Xiang Xueer was already challenging enough; Heart Demon not only possessed great power but was also cunning. Asking me to kill it is simply absurd.
The Masked Man glanced at Serpent Empress's troubled expression and asked, "What’s wrong? Serpent Empress, do you dare not obey my orders?"
"No, no, Master, the Serpent Empress will do everything in her power to kill the Heart Demon." The Serpent Empress shook her head vigorously, searching for various reasons: "But with just my strength alone, it may be difficult to succeed!"
"Don't worry, this time someone will help you!" The Masked Man leaned down and lifted the Serpent Empress's chin: "Just go see Xiang Xueer; you'll know that they are also preparing to hunt the Heart Demon!"
What? That Dead Girl Xiang Xueer actually wants to kill the Heart Demon? Isn't the Witch on the same side as the Heart Demon? Are they actually fighting among themselves? This is too strange!
The Masked Man stood up and turned to leave: "Serpent Empress, if you fail again this time, I will not spare you. You better be prepared for death."
In a swirl of black wind, the Masked Man vanished before her eyes, and within the lingering coldness that remained, there seemed to still be an evil aura. The Serpent Empress sat on the ground and slowly closed her eyes: "This time, it seems I cannot escape. Heart Demon, it looks like this time, it's either you die or I perish."
The Serpent Empress had just been spying on Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang in the woods when she suddenly disappeared into the darkness. To survive, she could only desperately seek out the whereabouts of the Heart Demon.
In the restless demon realm, various demons were gradually awakening from the darkness; they seemed to be waiting for the return of the Demon Lord.
In the black Ancient Tower, where the Demon Lord was sealed, a shadow rushed past from the broken rope bridge and landed before a mass of Thorns. Just as he was about to move forward, those highly poisonous Thorns surged toward him.
He quickly stepped back to avoid the attack from the Thorns. This person appeared to be around sixty years old, with a head full of silver hair and a beard nearly reaching his chest. In that atmosphere filled with evil energy, he stood there in a white long robe, exuding an otherworldly presence.
His black eyes had not dulled with age; instead, they appeared sharper and more luminous. He squinted cautiously at the Black Ancient Tower across from him and stroked his beard.
The light descending from the top of the tower had vanished, leaving only a faint glow emanating from the ninth level. Suddenly, he furrowed his brow in shock: "What... how could this happen? The seal has actually been broken?"
