Lost Forest, the shape-shifting demon, Xiang Xueer suddenly realized, shaking her head after a moment: "No, this guy can not only change forms but also penetrate the deepest thoughts of a person!"
Under the dim moonlight, a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of the child's mouth: "Hehe, that's right, I am Heart Demon, and I come from your deepest desires!"
Heart Demon? The world is vast, and there are all kinds of creatures. First, there was Headless Demon, then Incubus, and now a new name has emerged: Heart Demon. Xiang Xueer is quite impressed with her ability to accept all these various demons that keep popping up.
"Hey!" Xiang Xueer sighed, slowly opening her eyes, her eagle-like gaze filled with cold Killing Intent: "Today, no matter what kind of demon you are, if you dare to desecrate my beloved father, I will make sure you die a miserable death!"
"Oh?" Heart Demon smiled while touching its lips as it looked at Xiang Xueer, finding it increasingly amusing: "Interesting, I would love to know how you plan to make me die a miserable death!"
Li Yunyang swiftly drew the Azure Dragon Sword from his back: "Hey, girl, don't be impulsive. This guy is at a high level, at least an intermediate demon or above!"
At this moment, Xiang Xueer couldn't hear anything. In a flash, she charged forward with a series of spinning kicks and rapid punches, giving Heart Demon no time to breathe.
Under her relentless attacks, Heart Demon moved quickly on its feet, adopting a leisurely hide-and-seek posture, constantly dodging. Before long, Xiang Xueer was sweating profusely while Heart Demon seemed to be enjoying itself, smacking its lips and saying: "Oh dear, you're already tired? I haven't had enough fun yet."
This little brat didn't take her seriously at all; after all her hard work, it was just bored out of its mind. Xiang Xueer felt utterly useless once again.
Watching from the side, Li Yunyang couldn't hold back any longer. This girl seemed to be getting addicted to the game; after all, they were in Lost Forest. Playing hide-and-seek with demons could cost them their lives. Moreover, the abilities of this so-called Heart Demon hadn't even been fully unleashed yet. Once it got serious, both of them might end up dead here.
Just as expected, Heart Demon leaned against a Tree Trunk, arms crossed in boredom while glancing sideways at the panting Xiang Xueer: "Ahh, this is really boring. How about we play something more interesting?"
Interesting? Three veins popped up on Xiang Xueer's forehead. This annoying little brat was treating her like a monkey. She watched as Heart Demon leisurely pulled out a jade flute from its pocket: "My dear, how about we listen to a song? The night is still long!"
Listen to music? <; see ’*Reading Network original kanshu. Li Yunyang frowned tightly as Heart Demon placed the flute to its lips. A melodious tune began to play, slowly turning eerie and stirring as it echoed softly through the dark forest.
"Um? It hurts so much!" Xiang Xueer suddenly felt a splitting headache upon hearing the sound of the flute. Her ears, nose, and mouth began to throb painfully as if pricked by needles, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, it’s killing me!" Li Yunyang covered his head, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. This couldn’t go on; if they stayed like this, they would both be driven to death by the flute's sound. He rushed forward and grabbed Xiang Xueer, quickly pulling her away toward the edge of the forest.
"Run!" Li Yunyang shouted as he dragged Xiang Xueer along. The farther they got from the sound of the flute, the more he could feel his headache easing.
Heart Demon swiftly put away the flute with a 'whoosh' and leaped up to the treetops, watching the two from a distance with a somewhat dissatisfied expression. "What’s this? The Demon Lord is overreacting. It's just some little girl who doesn’t know anything. Is it really worth all this fuss?"
"Forget it, I’ll just report back first," Heart Demon said nonchalantly, curling his lip before vanishing into the night.
The two ran all the way to the stream, where Heart Demon’s flute sound finally stopped. It seemed he had no intention of pursuing them. Li Yunyang, frustrated, poked her forehead. "Are you crazy? Didn’t I tell you not to be reckless? You almost got me killed!"
Xiang Xueer glared at Li Yunyang with narrowed eyes. "Why are you always following me? It's so annoying! My business is none of your concern; you’re just a meddler!"
"What? You ungrateful person! You left me outside the women’s bathhouse, and now I come to save you... not only do you not thank me, but you also curse at me. Are you even a woman?" Li Yunyang refused to back down. The two were red-faced and nearly ready to fight.
Xiang Xueer looked at the bruise on his forehead, likely from being hit by women in the bathhouse. She was furious at Heart Demon for impersonating her father; it would be a disservice to her countrymen not to teach him a lesson. But was this guy a dog? He could keep up with her on horseback; what was going on?
"Sigh!" Xiang Xueer exhaled deeply, finally venting her pent-up anger. Considering that this guy had saved her twice, she pulled out a map from her pocket and tossed it to him. "Here’s a map; copy it quickly. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s way. You take your own path, and I’ll take mine!"
"Roasted fart? What does that mean?" Li Yunyang frowned as he took the map and saw that it indeed marked the route to Sky Beyond Mountain. A smile of excitement spread across his face. "Wow, such a detailed route! How did you get this?"
"Nonsense! Just hurry up and copy it; I need to get moving!" Xiang Xueer said irritably as she sat on a stone by the stream. This wasn’t a sustainable situation; there were monsters everywhere along the way, and she didn’t know any special techniques or spells. If they encountered them again, wouldn’t it be just like today—squashed like ants?
She suddenly slapped her thigh. Although this was ancient times, as long as there was iron, they could make guns, right? After all, she was very clear about the principles of firearms; at least having a weapon would provide some self-defense.
Without hesitation, the next morning, Xiang Xueer rode her horse to Jibei Village and found an Iron Shop. She handed the drawn firearm blueprint to the blacksmith. The blacksmith looked at it and was taken aback.
"This... I've never seen anything like this!" The blacksmith stared with wide eyes, looking back and forth at the drawing, still confused and shaking his head.
"Hey, you don't need to have seen it before; just follow my drawings and dimensions!" Xiang Xueer pointed at the bullets on the canvas. "This thing must be made carefully because the dimensions are crucial. If it's not right and misfires, I might be the one who gets hurt!"
The blacksmith remained bewildered and shook his head while saying, "These requirements are too high. I'll do my best, but if it doesn't turn out well, don't blame me!"
That was true. Although the breakdown diagram was detailed, making such a weapon was still quite difficult for them. Xiang Xueer paid a deposit and agreed with the blacksmith to deliver it the next day. It seemed she would temporarily stay in Jibei Village today.
As soon as Xiang Xueer turned to leave the market, she felt someone following her from behind. She quickly ducked into an alley, but that person chased after her. She dashed out and executed a quick hold to pin the follower to the ground.
"Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!" Li Yunyang lay on the ground, covered in dirt, turning his head to shout at Xiang Xueer, "Dead Girl, let me go already!"
How is it this idiot again? Xiang Xueer pushed him away and frowned. "Hey, Li Yunyang, how many times do I have to tell you? Why do you keep following me?"
Li Yunyang rubbed his shoulder and replied, "You're just too interesting! Clearly we’re going in the same direction, yet you refuse to go with me to Sky Beyond Mountain!"
"Hmph! Why should I go with a little brat like you? If it were a handsome guy, I might consider it!" Xiang Xueer was used to being alone; having a stranger follow her made her feel insecure deep down.
