"Nymph, where are you? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
The ink residue slightly closes its eyes, long eyebrows merging into the temples, the corner of the lips slightly curled, hidden wit and sharpness, exuding a faint frosty chill like ice and snow, as if an eternal glacier, unapproachable and pushing others away from a distance.
His long and good-looking hand, in front of the empty space, lightly swipes.
A river of time resembling a jade belt appeared, within which the mist roiled, but there was no image to be seen for a long time.
Mò jìn furrowed his brow and stared at the time river in front of him with no images, his mood was extremely bad.
His time law had already been refined to the peak of perfection.
It can be said that between heaven and earth, there is almost nothing he cannot see.
However, this time, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, he extended one hand, the palm of his hand gathering and rotating terrifying divine force, resembling a giant white ball, mist billowing around the ball.
Then, it suddenly transformed into thousands of colorless silk threads, slowly extending in all directions, spreading across the heavens and the earth.
Mò jìn closed his eyes and began to sense Yú Yuǎn's movements.
After a while.
His eyes opened, "He actually went to the world of mortals?"
He retracted the power in his palm, his body turned into a beam of golden light, and it shot out of the chaos outside in an instant.
The world of mortals.
Different from the dark and bloody scene of the Demon World, here it is shrouded in mist and rain, with weeping willows gently swaying, reminiscent of the style of the South of the Yangtze.
The streets are filled with ordinary people who work and sell, looking no different from other domains.
One day, a man and a woman were walking along the official path, seemingly in a hurry.
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and go into the city."
Yú Yuǎn glanced at the Demon King Fén Tiān beside her and spoke.
After the two left the Demon World, she had deliberately or inadvertently led the Demon King to the world of mortals.
The world of mortals is safe, and it is unlikely to encounter any female protagonist Xī Yáo, so coming here is the best.
The Demon King Fén Tiān glanced at her sideways, "I really don't understand. Just fly over and you're done. Why walk?"
Yú Yuǎn gave him a cold look, "This is the mortal realm. If we fly over directly, we might scare people."
The Demon King looked at her, but didn't say anything.
They didn't walk far before passing by a mountain path.
Several men's voices drifted over from the trees in the distance...
"Hahaha, big brother, that woman is really beautiful. I've been alive for so long, I've never seen a woman as beautiful as that. However, that man is really annoying."
"Annoying, just kill. Take the woman back to the mountain stronghold, and let us brothers have some fun...…"
"Hahaha, you're right, big brother. That woman is so beautiful, I wonder how she tastes when she's... ..."
...
The voices of several men, vulgar and obscene.
Yú Yuǎn's face was stern. She couldn't believe there were such scoundrels in the world of mortals, and they even dared to set their sights on her.
Just about to smack him with a palm.
Just then, within the forest, there was a sudden explosion with a bang, as if something had burst open, blood mist permeating the air.
Then, there was silence.
Is that it?
She froze, her gaze falling on the man beside her, only to see a dark expression on his face.
"Know nothing of death!"
He muttered a curse and then said to Yú Yuǎn: "Let's go."
He turned around and walked ahead.
Yú Yuǎn glanced in that direction and quickly caught up.
The two of them quickly entered the Qixia City.
At this time, the sky was already darkening, and the streets on both sides began to light up with thousands of lanterns, sparkling brilliantly.
The streets were bustling with people, and all sorts of stalls lined the road, filled with hawkers shouting back and forth, creating a lively atmosphere.
The streets and alleys were filled with various fragrances, such as the sweetness of candy strings, the crispy smell of deep-fried foods, and the spicy aroma of grilled skewers, making people drool.
The two of them found a Ruyi Inn nearby and checked in.
After settling in, they were ready to go out and stroll around.
However, they happened to run into the female protagonist Xī Yáo, who was just entering the inn.
The woman behind was accompanied by a very beautiful maid.
The two parties passed each other at the entrance of the inn.
Yú Yuǎn and the Demon King had all changed their appearances, but Xī Yáo did not recognize them.
But she could tell that they were demons.
Xī Yáo found it strange that there were demons in the world of mortals, and she gave them a startled look. However, she did not want to meddle in other people's affairs.
They quickly walked into the inn.
When Yú Yuǎn saw Xī Yáo, her face turned black several shades. Shouldn't the female protagonist be in the East Sea at this time?
How did she also end up in the world of mortals? And how conveniently she met her here.
She looked at the man beside her and furrowed her brow.
Is this the female protagonist aura? I can't avoid it no matter what?
Is it destined for the Demon King to fall in love with Xī Yáo?
"Do you not like the sixth princess of the East Sea?"
The Demon King Fén Tiān instantly felt that something was wrong with her emotions. He looked at her sideways, frowning and said.
Yú Yuǎn tugged at the corners of her mouth, not hiding anything, "Indeed, I'm not very fond of her."
After speaking, she simply walked away from the Ruyi Inn, strolling on the streets of Qixia City and passing through the crowd.
In fact, she had no problems with the female protagonist Xī Yáo and there were no connections between them.
But what can she do, as this woman is also one of her targets.
However, the main character who needs to be killed.
After thinking about it, she suddenly thought that it was good for Xī Yáo to come to the world of mortals.
Why not just get rid of her here and complete the third task while she's at it.
If Xī Yáo dies here, once it's discovered, it may attract the pursuit of the entire East Sea.
But regardless of what happens, Xī Yáo must be killed.
She dares to flirt with both the Demon King and the Divine Lord at the same time, and she's dealing with two men. What's there to fear from the East Sea?
Yú Yuǎn only felt that none of the three tasks in this world are easy to accomplish.
All of them carry various dangers.
And she herself is constantly on the edge of life and death, one wrong move might result in being smashed to pieces.
The Demon King smiled and said, "If you don't like her, then kill her."
His tone was light and casual, yet it was filled with a sense of bloodthirst.
However, to Yú Yuǎn's ears, it was bizarrely pleasing. She liked men who spoiled women without a care in the world.
No matter who the person is, what their background is? As long as it upsets her, or she doesn't like them, the man can kill them without hesitation.
She cupped the Demon King's handsome face and kissed him, laughing, "You're so good."
She knew that the Demon King was in a weakened state at the moment, and it would not be possible to kill him now. However, this did not stop her from listening happily to his words.
"Is that it?"
The Demon King laughed softly and lightly pinched her tender cheek, whispering with a light chuckle.
Yú Yuǎn smiled faintly, without saying anything.
The two of them simply began to stroll along the street, and after not far, they discovered a crowd gathered around the roadside, pointing and whispering.
Out of curiosity, Yú Yuǎn pulled the Demon King into the crowd.
What they saw was a woman dressed in mourning clothes kneeling by the roadside, her beauty beyond words, pitifully delicate, a very fragile beauty that one couldn't help but feel compassion for.
In front of the girl, there was a piece of paper, on which were written several bright red characters: selling one's body to bury their father.
"Zé zé… such a beautiful woman, follow me, young miss. I'll find someone to bury your father for you…"
A well-fed fat man with a big belly and a richly dressed look, with his eyes half-closed and drooling, looked at the kneeling maiden.
The maiden did not even look at the fat man in rich clothes; she remained silent and knelt on the ground.
"These silver coins you take, and you bury your father well."
Yú Yuǎn walked up to the maiden and whispered softly.
Upon saying this, she placed a pouch containing silver notes in front of the maiden.
The maiden picked up the pouch in front of her, stood up, and walked over to Yú Yuǎn and the Demon King.
She automatically ignored Yú Yuǎn and instead bowed respectfully to the Demon King, her face full of beauty and gratitude, "Thank you very much, kind sir."
Yú Yuǎn: "..."
Just now, who gave the silver seems to be her?
The Demon King glanced at the maiden a few times, sneering and saying: "It was my wife who gave the silver. What do you have to thank me for?"
The maiden's face blushed a deep red, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Master, I..."
The maiden wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say, so she stood there in place, her face red.
She could tell at a glance that this young master was not ordinary, especially considering his handsome appearance.
He looks like a rich man.
If she could stay by his side, even as a maid, it would be fine.
The Demon King ignored the maiden's thoughts and quickly pulled Yú Yuǎn away.
The maiden bit her lip and took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to catch up.
The Demon King glared at her with a look, and the maiden's face turned pale, causing her to fall to the ground and break out in a cold sweat.
What kind of look was that? Why was it so terrifying?
What kind of person is this man?
