Turns out to be Officer Yuan. Before leaving, Captain Wu and I wanted to take Officer Yuan away, but who knew that Officer Yuan stayed behind and said he wanted to accompany A Yao. "Officer Yuan, why are you here?" I was shocked by Yuan Yuan's naked appearance. After Officer Yuan heard my voice, he looked at me slowly, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was frightened, which made me feel a little guilty. I hugged Officer Yuan, after all Officer YuanThe current situation is somewhat special. "Afraid." Officer Yuan is like a frightened bird. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" I looked at Officer Yuan's somewhat uncomfortable expression and asked with concern. After a while, Officer Yuan's expression slowly returned to normal. When she saw me, she threw herself into my arms and cried loudly, "Wang Niu, you are finally here, you Do you know what a terrible thing I saw a few days ago?" Officer Yuan Such words suddenly shocked my heart. I was stunned for a moment and asked what happened. A Yao I won't mention itA Fortunately, Yao's face changed when I mentioned Officer Yuan. She was very excited. She grabbed my collar tightly and said, "Don't mention her. She is not a human being. She is so scary." Watch Officer Yuan looked crazy, and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened to A Yao? In order to appease Officer Yuan, I didn’t mention A Yao, but first Officer Yuan I was taken out of the secret room and went to meet Captain Wu and the others. On the way, I secretly glanced at Officer Yuan. Officer Yuan's condition was too worrying, but it was okay along the way. Soon, Officer Yuan and I walked to the top of the cliff, just in time to see Captain Wu and them. I shouted Captain Wu’s name loudly, and Captain Wu looked over. When his eyes were on Officer Yuan’s face, his expression changed, and then he strode towards me. , pulled me aside and said, "What's wrong with Officer Yuan? How could such a thing happen?" I didn't know what to say to Captain Wu, so I sighed and said, this matter is more complicated. Captain Wu was stunned for a moment, looking at me in confusion and then behind me, as if he was looking for something. "Little brother, where is A Yao?" My heart skipped a beat, thinking of Officer Yuan before. In response, he said to Captain Wu, "Captain Wu, don't mention A Yao in front of Officer Yuan in the future, otherwise Officer Yuan will become emotional. Something happened here, which is quite complicated. I don’t know what to say to you either.”
"Captain Wu" let out a sound of confusion, looking at me with a puzzled expression.
I decided not to dwell on the topic with "Captain Wu" any longer and asked about "Ruoxi."
"Captain Wu" pointed upwards. I looked over and saw "Ruoxi" sitting high above, gazing into the distance. Suddenly, I felt a sense of familiarity wash over me.
I walked towards "Ruoxi," leaving space for "Captain Wu" and "Officer Yuan."
"Ruoxi." I approached her from behind.
"Ruoxi" turned to look at me, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "You’re here."
I nodded. For a brief moment, it felt as if our relationship was that of an old married couple.
"Are you okay? The child said 'Xiaomei' was hurt. Was it 'A Yao' who did it?" I asked.
Upon hearing my words, a complex expression crossed "Ruoxi's" face. She replied, "I don’t really know how to explain it. She did it, but then again, she didn’t."
Her words made my heart sink, and I grew increasingly serious. "What do you mean?"
With a sigh, "Ruoxi" said, "The current 'A Yao' is no longer the same 'A Yao.' Do you remember when 'A Yao' had her 'Yang Soul' extracted at the altar?"
I was taken aback, unsure why "Ruoxi" brought up that incident. Besides, hadn’t she erased it with the "Heavenly Book"?
I nodded and said I remembered. "Ruoxi" continued, "Although I reversed that event using the 'Heavenly Book,' it still couldn’t truly change things because the person involved didn’t want to erase that fact. So now, 'A Yao' has changed. Do you recall the consequences of not retrieving the 'Yang Soul'?"
Her words sent a chill through me as I nodded; 'A Yao' would turn into a demon.
"Ruoxi" went on, "The altar was originally a gathering place for many restless souls. If I’m guessing correctly, those souls are still around and you haven’t eliminated them, right?"
I nodded as Ruoxi continued, "A Yao's deep-seated resentment awakened those restless spirits. They sensed the immense call from within A Yao and entered her body. A Yao absorbed the energy from these spirits, transforming into a demon—she is both a monster and a spirit."
Ruoxi's words left me astonished. But why would A Yao do this? Was it because of what happened when I rejected her?
As I pondered, a sense of sorrow welled up inside me. I never expected things to turn out this way.
"Are you worried about A Yao?" Ruoxi asked, looking at me with a hint of sadness in her voice.
I understood Ruoxi's feelings at that moment. After all, the child had said I was the King of the Earth, and Ruoxi shared a special bond with the King.
"Yes, I've been with A Yao for a long time. Even if it's not the concern of lovers, there's still friendship at stake. I can't comprehend why A Yao has become like this," I sighed.
"That's quite normal. Love is important to every girl. Losing love can be painful for them," Ruoxi replied.
My heart sank. Could it really be for this reason that A Yao had changed so drastically?
"Regardless, we cannot take action against A Yao," Ruoxi added.
In that instant, I felt a radiance emanating from Ruoxi, and my fondness for her surged immensely.
I had expected Ruoxi to scold me for still caring about A Yao, but instead, she was so understanding.
"By the way, what about Xiaomei?" I changed the subject.
Ruoxi smiled and pointed to my shoulder. "She has entered your Three Flames to recuperate. She'll be out soon, so don't worry."
I nodded and glanced around at the people nearby, including Captain Wu down the mountain. Taking a deep breath, I realized we had lost our hiding place and had no idea what our next move should be.
"I know a safe place—Paper Mache Street," Ruoxi said.
I looked at Ruoxi in confusion.
Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, before you all arrived, I used Divine Power to check this place and found that there is a street that is safe, and only there has not been destroyed."
A very familiar person came to mind because Ruoxi's words reminded me of him.
"Then let's go there," I agreed.
Ruoxi nodded, stood up, and took out a bag from her body, which looked exactly like the bags the Left and Right Protectors had taken out in the secret chamber.
I couldn't help but feel curious and asked Ruoxi what kind of bag it was that could hold people. I also mentioned that the bag given to the woman by the Left and Right Protectors contained people captured by the Ghost Gate Cult.
Ruoxi looked at me in surprise, as if recalling something, and asked, "A couple of days ago, I heard Xiaomei say, how was your visit to the Ghost Gate Cult's lair?"
I suddenly remembered that there were still some things I hadn't told Ruoxi, so I shared everything that had happened over the past two days, including the events at the Feast of Demons.
After listening, Ruoxi's expression turned serious. "If that's the case, then we're in trouble. We need to report this to our superiors."
I nodded. Suddenly, Ruoxi took out something that resembled firecrackers.
She lit it and threw it into the sky, where red smoke appeared.
