"Ah!" Li Yunyang innocently covered the large bump on his head, tears of grievance hanging at the corners of his eyes. "I only heard from Ling Zhu that you were injured, and I was worried about you, yet you hit me!"
"Ling Zhu?" Xiang Xueer quickly grabbed his hand and asked, "Did you see Ling Zhu? Where is she now? Also, what did she say to you?"
Li Yunyang pouted and rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What? You actually care about her more than me? I'm injured too! Can't you see that? You're not being gentle or considerate at all."
Hearing this, Xiang Xueer noticed the bruises and wounds on his face. It seemed they had encountered some trouble as well. She sighed and pulled him to sit by the bed. "Alright, I didn't mean to overlook you. Don't be angry. Now, tell me what happened to you these past few days!"
Outside the door, Lian Cheng Xue and Duck arrived at the inn. Upon seeing Lian Cheng Xue, Gunaara immediately lost her smile and became shy. However, when she noticed the injuries on his face, she quickly grabbed him and asked, "Lian Ge, you're hurt? What happened?"
"I'm fine! Don't worry!" Lian Cheng Xue and Li Yunyang recounted the events in detail to everyone. Suddenly, Xiang Xueer's mood darkened.
That shameless Demon Lord! I knew Ling Zhu wouldn't betray us for no reason. However, I only found the Five Divine Artifacts in the cave of the barrier and didn't find Ling Zhu's husband. What is going on?
Seeing Xiang Xueer deep in thought, Li Yunyang quietly walked to the door and closed it before running back and teasingly taking her hand. "At that time, Lian Xiong and I were almost beaten to death by the Fire Rats. My only wish was to see you once before I died; that would have satisfied me!"
Xiang Xueer immediately covered his mouth with her hand. "What are you talking about dying? I’m telling you, since I didn’t ask you to die, you have to live well."
Li Yunyang smiled as he pulled her hand down and then yanked Shirley into his embrace. "Alright, I won’t say it anymore. Anyway, I'm yours now; whatever you want me to do in the future, I'll do it!"
Yours? Xiang Xueer was confused; she seemed to remember that they hadn’t really established anything yet. She immediately pushed him away. "Did your master agree for you to come find us?"
Mentioning his master made Li Yunyang's hands tremble slightly as he swallowed hard. "I... I haven't seen my master since two days ago. But judging by the remnants of the Million Demon Army left behind, he must have gone after the Demon Lord!"
Hmph! He hasn't seen it, but I have. That old stubborn Feng Qingyang won't stop until he kills the Demon Lord; they might be fighting somewhere right now.
As for Ling Zhu, it was far too dangerous for her to infiltrate the Demon Lord alone. Feeling worried, Xiang Xueer took out a map to check if they could find Ling Zhu first before heading to the Demon Prison Tower.
"Well, it's decided. Since the general direction is similar, let's go find Ling Zhu first!" Xiang Xueer pointed towards Sky Beyond Mountain, turned around, and started packing her clothes. "Li Yunyang, hurry up and get ready. We need to set off soon!"
"Set off this quickly?" Li Yunyang felt a bit reluctant. They had just met and he hadn't had the chance to express his feelings. Pouting, he reached out towards her. "Wait a minute, let’s have a kiss before we go!"
As soon as Xiang Xueer turned her head, she saw his pig-like face approaching and couldn't help but find it both cute and funny. She reached out and pinched his mouth, causing Li Yunyang to cry out in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Li Yunyang shouted anxiously. Xiang Xueer finally let go of her frustration, hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him closer, puckered her lips, and gently pecked him on the lips. She then asked, "Tell me, if your master and I fell into the river, who would you save first?"
Li Yunyang's face turned green at this question. Last time, because of this issue, Xiang Xueer almost devoured him alive. He pulled down her arm that was hooked around his neck and turned to escape.
"Where do you think you're going? You haven't answered my question yet!" Xiang Xueer held onto his neck tightly. Frantic, Li Yunyang shouted, "I’d save you first! I’d save you first, okay? Just don’t pinch me anymore; it hurts so much!"
Only after hearing this did Xiang Xueer smugly release him and clap her hands. Although it was a rather silly question, it worked wonders on the foolish Li Yunyang. Looking down, she saw him clutching his chest with tears welling up in his eyes.
What happened? Was he hurt that badly? She quickly opened his collar to take a look and was genuinely shocked. His body was covered in scratches of varying depths; it was a miracle he was still alive.
Damn Fire Rat and Wolf King! Just wait; how could you injure Li Yunyang like this? If I don't peel your skin off, I won't call myself Xiang Xueer!
As soon as Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang opened the door, they found Lian Cheng Xue, Qingtian, and others waiting outside. Duck bounced out excitedly. "Sister, are we getting ready to go to Sky Beyond Mountain?"
Xiang Xueer looked up at the southwest direction. "No, we’re going to regroup with Ling Zhu first and then head to Sky Beyond Mountain. I'm a bit worried about her safety."
It was indeed somewhat risky to spend the last bit of time looking for Ling Zhu, especially since everyone was heavily injured. The group began heading southward. After a long trek, they finally discovered the plum blossom signal carved by Ling Zhu at the corner of a street wall.
By now it was evening; she dismounted from her horse and looked at the sky. "Let's take a break here for a bit, eat something, and then continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
In the middle of the night, everyone was resting in an inn when suddenly the bed began to shake. Xiang Xueer immediately sat up in bed and cautiously looked around. It wasn't just the edge of the bed shaking; the entire floor and inn were starting to tremble as well.
What’s going on? She immediately pushed open the window and looked outside. In the quiet night, there seemed to be a hidden danger lurking. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed, suddenly alarmed: “Not good, it’s the scent of the Demon Wolf!”
With a loud bang, Li Yunyang pushed open her room door and immediately noticed something was wrong. He shouted, “It’s that damned Demon Wolf’s scent, and there are a lot of them!”
Xiang Xueer squinted as she sniffed the air, which carried a hint of blood. She suddenly recalled the scene from when the Demon Wolf had slaughtered the village last time: “Quickly wake everyone up and protect the Five Divine Artifacts!”
“Okay!” Li Yunyang turned with her and hurriedly pulled everyone out of bed. They all prepared themselves and leaped onto the roof of the inn to gain a vantage point. Sure enough, outside the opposite inn, a dark mass was rapidly moving.
Thousands of Demon Wolves were rushing towards them. Xiang Xueer tightly gripped her Azure Wind Sword, scanning the sleeping villagers in the village. With determination, she moved forward.
“Shirley, where are you going?” Li Yunyang shouted anxiously. Xiang Xueer turned and called out, “You all protect the Five Divine Artifacts. I’ll lead the wolf pack away; we can’t let them into the village to harm the people!”
“This woman doesn’t listen at all!” Li Yunyang shouted in frustration and quickly followed her: “Wait for me! It’s too dangerous for you to go alone; I’m coming too!”
Speaking of others, Li Yunyang was no different. With so many wolves, they could be torn apart in an instant. Qingtian frowned: “These two are too reckless. Lian Xiong, you take care of Shennong Ding and Fuxi Qin. Everyone else should leave the village first and head towards Ling Zhu's signal. We’ll finish up here and come find you right away!”
“No way! I want to go too!” Gunaara said just as Duck pushed him back: “You should stay behind. We’re just two non-combatants; if we go, we’ll distract them. So let’s hurry and leave!”
“Duck is right!” Lian Cheng Xue took Shennong Ding with her while Gunaara slung Fuxi Qin over his back and turned to leave the inn: “Qingtian, be careful!”
The three of them dashed into the pack of wolves, and the rapidly moving group of Demon Wolves finally halted their steps, baring their teeth as they gradually focused their attention on the three of them.
