Xiang Xueer turned her head and glanced into the room. Gunaara was sleeping soundly on the bed. She reached into her waist and took out a few pieces of silver, tossing them into the room.
The silver coins made a clattering sound as they hit the ground, immediately startling Gunaara. She sat up quickly, frowning and whispering, "Who, who is there?"
"Cough cough!" Xiang Xueer softly cleared her throat a few times, then flipped over and jumped in from the windowsill. The room was dark, with only a faint light shining through; the moonlight slanted in, allowing her elongated shadow to be seen.
Gunaara squinted her eyes and looked closely, quickly recognizing Xiang Xueer. She excitedly jumped out of bed, saying, "Young Master Chu, it's really you! I thought you wouldn't come back after you left without a word last time!"
As soon as Xiang Xueer turned around, Gunaara realized what was happening. She hurriedly covered her chest with her thin shirt, her face flushed as she turned away and pulled on her outer garment.
Oh dear, this is really troublesome. She pinched her lips and forced a smile, saying, "Don't misunderstand. At that time, I thought you were going to marry someone else. Just thinking about it made me heartbroken, so I planned to leave this place of sorrow. But just as I left the village, I heard that you hadn't gotten married. I was so happy that I rushed back overnight."
Oh my, this lie is so convincing that even I believe it. Xiang Xueer felt quite frustrated; although this handsome man was quite skilled at charming others, it felt so awkward when it came to beautiful women!
Hearing Xiang Xueer's words made Gunaara so happy that she almost forgot who she was: "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't just leave me like that; otherwise, you wouldn't have come to fight me in the Arena."
She turned around and rummaged under the bed for a while before pulling out a bundle. Grabbing Xiang Xueer's arm, she headed towards the door in a hurry. Xiang Xueer quickly stopped her: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Gunaara shyly fidgeted: "I’ve been ready with my luggage for a long time, waiting to leave with you."
Oh my god, Xiang Xueer just wanted to use her charm to persuade her to reconsider but ended up with an elopement? She quickly shook her head: "No, don't do this! This is elopement; if we get caught, we'll be locked in a pig cage and thrown into the river!"
Pig cage? What is a pig cage? Gunaara blinked at her: "Chulord! I'm not afraid; why should you be? Don't worry; once we leave, we can have a child and come back. My father seems fierce but is actually soft-hearted; he definitely won't blame us."
Oh my god, the title has changed to Chulord? And having children? This is developing way too fast! Xiang Xueer gulped nervously; she needed to escape quickly before things got out of hand. If her identity were exposed, it would be disastrous.
But why were her legs being pulled by this woman as they flew out of the house? By the time she realized what was happening, they had already left the market and arrived at the village entrance.
"No, this is not right," Xiang Xueer realized that things were getting increasingly out of control. The most ridiculous part was that two women were eloping and even planning to have children. She hurriedly explained to Gunaara, "Wait, don't act impulsively! Impulsiveness is the devil. Let me explain; we can't elope..."
"Why not?" Gunaara tilted her head, looking at Xiang Xueer. She had heard about the fierce customs of this ethnic group, but it didn't mean they could just elope. Just as she was about to explain, a mass of black mist rapidly approached from the dark night sky.
Xiang Xueer was startled and wrinkled her nose, sniffing the air for a while. This intense magical aura was all too familiar to her. She quickly pulled Gunaara behind her, her palms sweating with tension. "This is bad; that guy is coming!"
That guy? Gunaara looked up at the swiftly moving mist in the sky and frowned. "What... what is that thing?"
Tch, could it be here for me? Xiang Xueer cursed silently and pushed Gunaara away. "You need to leave quickly; I'll draw it away!"
With that, she turned and ran wildly toward the outskirts of the village. Gunaara was momentarily stunned, unable to grasp the situation, and followed after Xiang Xueer while calling out, "Chulord, wait for me!"
"This idiot!" Xiang Xueer glanced back at Gunaara with exasperation. She had told him not to follow; it was too dangerous here. If a battle broke out, her life would be at risk, let alone protecting her.
"Huff huff!" Xiang Xueer ran breathlessly as she saw the black mist 'thunder' down toward the ground. After a tremor shook the earth, a black dragon-claw cloak flew up in the night wind, blocking her path.
Xiang Xueer slightly bent one leg while reaching for her Azure Wind Sword behind her, glaring at the towering dark figure. "Demon Lord, what do you want?"
The deep Red Eyes slowly turned to Xiang Xueer, revealing an evil smile. "Nothing much; I just want to take back what belongs to my daughter!"
So it really is here for the Witch after all. It seemed today would be difficult to escape from. Since that's the case, it's better to strike first. Xiang Xueer reached for her Azure Wind Sword.
She could hear Gunaara's voice calling out from behind her repeatedly: "Chulord, wait for me! Who is that person?"
This woman was really like a stubborn gum stuck to her; she quickly took a few steps back to create distance from the Demon Lord and then held one hand behind her to shield Gunaara. "That person is the Demon Lord; you need to leave quickly and stop causing trouble here."
"Demon Lord?" Gunaara stared into the red eyes of the Demon Lord across from her, her expression darkening. "No, it can't be. Isn't this Demon Lord supposed to be trapped under the Demon Prison Tower? How could he appear here?"
"Hehehe!" Xiang Xueer couldn't help but let out a cold laugh as she saw the evil smile on the Demon Lord's face. He slowly extended a hand, and realizing he was about to unleash an attack, she quickly pushed Gunaara aside. "Go ask your father and you'll know. I've said it hundreds of times; we're just playing with him!"
With a loud rumble, the sky erupted like thunder, and dust and debris filled the air, making it impossible to see. There was no sign of anyone launching an attack; it was as if divine thunder had exploded from the heavens.
"Chulord!" Gunaara sat on the ground, covering her mouth and nose as she coughed uncontrollably. By the time she regained her senses, she could no longer distinguish what had happened between the two in front of her.
Terror gripped her as she looked at the swirling black mist. After a while, the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of both individuals standing still in place, unmoving.
"Who... who won?" Gunaara quickly scrambled to her feet and focused her gaze. She saw the Demon Lord lightly wave his hand, parting the mist to reveal his evil, twisted face.
On Xiang Xueer's side, she tightly gripped the Azure Wind Sword, holding it in front of her. The Demon Lord's attack had come too swiftly; by the time she reacted, it was already too late to dodge. She could only draw the Azure Wind Sword to barely withstand this powerful assault.
Xiang Xueer knew that extraordinary strength was not without reason. She looked at the massive pit before her, at least two meters deep; just a flick of a finger had caused such tremendous force.
Fortunately, her quick reflexes and the exorcising power of the Azure Wind Sword had saved her. However, her shoes and clothing were already tattered, and even her silver mask began to crack, pieces falling to the ground as the red pupil of her right eye became exposed.
"This is bad!" Xiang Xueer reached up to touch her eye. Immediately, the Demon Lord across from her broke into an evil grin. "As expected, your magic is within you."
"So what? She injected it into my body herself. Do you really think I wanted this?" Xiang Xueer thought bitterly, feeling resentment towards the Witch for putting her in this awkward situation where she felt neither human nor demon.
