Chapter 62: Xie Wuyan has turned into a dog!

He is like a fierce wolf trapped in a cage, tearing and biting at the approaching predators, without any consciousness, relying solely on his primal instincts to resist and kill.

Finally, even the demons began to feel fear.

Xie Wuyan knelt heavily on the ground, bowing his head, blood flowing down his arms, but his posture remained straight. Black energy repeatedly passed through his body, but he seemed completely oblivious, without any reaction.

His fearless self-destructive style of fighting indeed made the surrounding demons forget to step forward.

Shen Wanqing crouched in front of him, tightly pursing her lips, but still unable to control the slight bitterness at the tip of her nose. She reached out her hand and placed it on his shoulder.

Xie Wuyan suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes devoid of any light, resembling a raging beast without any rationality.

Almost at the moment Shen Wanqing touched him, he quickly grabbed her throat without giving her any chance to defend.

“Palace Master!” Xuanniao desperately tried to approach but was blocked by a sudden wall of fire. It could only anxiously shout, “Get away from there quickly.”

Xie Wuyan now indeed looked terrifying.

There was no trace of consciousness, and his whole body was filled with pure killing intent. Bloodstains like spider webs extended from the corners of his eyes, and flames suddenly engulfed his entire body.

He stared at Shen Wanqing like a wild beast staring at its prey, devoid of any emotions, only the most primal anger.

Shen Wanqing could feel Xie Wuyan’s grip tightening gradually, and a sense of suffocation overwhelmed her. She was forced to lift her head and instinctively cover his arm. The flames spread to her body, as if they wanted to turn her into ashes.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye and splashed onto Xie Wuyan’s arm.

She could break free, but she chose not to.

She just lowered her eyelids and looked into his eyes.

For some unknown reason, Xie Wuyan suddenly paused, and his clenched hands relaxed slightly.

Shen Wanqing reached out, closed her eyes, embraced his shoulders, pulled him into her embrace, and tightly held his back.

Xie Wuyan, who seemed full of anger just a moment ago, froze suddenly when Shen Wanqing hugged him. Subconsciously, he let go of his hands and became at a loss, like a child, not knowing where to put his hands.

He remained confused for a while, then furrowed his brows and revealed a fierce expression. He reached out and grasped Shen Wanqing’s shoulders and waist, exerting force with his fingers, as if he wanted to tear her apart like those ghosts and spirits.

But Shen Wanqing didn’t let go. Instead, she held him even tighter and buried her head in his shoulder, her voice trembling slightly, “I knew you were still alive.”

“You don’t have to exert yourself so much.”

“I’ll take you away.”

Xie Wuyan’s fingertips didn’t exert any more force. He let go of his hands and allowed Shen Wanqing to hold him like that. On his usually fierce face, there appeared a look of panic for the first time.

He seemed to be stunned for a long time, then lowered his head to look at Shen Wanqing, then at himself. Carefully and cautiously, he reached out his hand and, following her lead, embraced her back.

Just like a little wild wolf picked up by someone, at first, it bared its teeth and tried to show how fierce it was. But in the moment it was brought back home, it obediently and anxiously stuck close to the person, testing the waters.

He held her for a while, and the anger in his body gradually subsided, like an exhausted little wolf, resting his head on her shoulder and closing his eyes.

Xuanniao was dumbfounded.

It couldn’t adapt to the fact that His Highness, the one at home who usually has an arrogant face saying ‘I am invincible,’ had surprisingly turned into something more pet-like than itself. However, this feeling of not adapting quickly vanished, and it soon began to feel moved.

His Highness didn’t die!

And he didn’t harm Shen Wanqing either!

It was so touching!

Xuanniao was so excited that it almost shed tears. It spread its wings and flew joyfully towards the two people, preparing for a family embrace.

Just as it was about to rush forward with tears streaming down its face, Xie Wuyan lifted his gaze, his eyes suddenly turning cold. He reached out and grabbed Xuanniao’s tail with incredible precision, then pulled it down, preparing to strangle its neck.

“Wait.” Shen Wanqing quickly stood up and held Xie Wuyan’s hand. “Don’t kill it.”

Xie Wuyan’s expression became blank again. He looked at the struggling Xuanniao in his hand, then looked at Shen Wanqing, and carefully released his grip.

Xuanniao scrambled and crawled to Shen Wanqing’s side, crying even louder.

… So His Highness hasn’t become good-tempered!

He’s just making an exception!!

Xuanniao was hurt.

Xie Wuyan calmly watched Shen Wanqing, motionless.

The surrounding evil spirits were also motionless.

This may be the first time they have shown such a dumbfounded expression in thousands of years.

Is this still the representative villain, Xie Wuyan?

His current appearance truly insults the title of “villain.”

But when they thought about it carefully, they felt that Xie Wuyan seemed weak and vulnerable now. They thought they could sneak attack and maybe even take both of them away.

So the evil spirits thought they had a chance and launched an attack with high morale.

A ghostly aura suddenly attacked Shen Wanqing without warning. She swiftly dodged to the side, but her cheek was grazed and a bit of skin was scraped off.

In fact, it wasn’t just the evil spirits. Shen Wanqing also felt that Xie Wuyan, as he appeared now, seemed quite weak. So she furrowed her brow, activated her spiritual power, and instinctively wanted to help him resist.

Before she could even get up, she saw Xie Wuyan flash a momentary expression of irritation, leaping up and tearing apart the ghosts like ripping pieces of paper.

“…”

After scaring off all those evil spirits, Xie Wuyan turned around and obediently sat down in front of Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing: “…”

Xuanniao: “…” Your Highness, you seem like a dog.

Xuanniao felt very wronged.

According to reason, it is not easy to come out of the Demon Sealing Cave. Xie Wuyan’s soul is very weak, almost just a shell. In general, in this situation, someone must enter his spiritual conciousness and transform themselves into a wick to guide him out.

This task was extremely difficult, not to mention that Xie Wuyan’s spiritual conciousness was very dangerous. If not handled properly, it could easily lead to the destruction of his spiritual soul.

Xuanniao worriedly came up with a plan: “Palace Master, you can cautiously send out a wisp of your spiritual consciousness to test the situation first, and then一”

Xie Wuyan lifted his eyes and stared unwaveringly at Shen Wanqing by his side.

Shen Wanqing seemed like she wasn’t paying serious attention. She just looked up, glanced at the invisible exit, and furrowed her brow. “It seems very difficult to go up there…”

Xie Wuyan: Oh!! I understand!

Before she could finish her sentence, the considerate Xie Wuyan immediately understood that Shen Wanqing wanted to go up. He picked her up and, with the tips of his toes touching the ground, soared into the air.

Then, they just left like that.

Shen Wanqing didn’t react, and Xuanniao didn’t react either.

Xuanniao almost got left behind because he couldn’t keep up, flapping his wings in panic and trying hard to catch up with Xie Wuyan. Then Shen Wanqing lifted her hand and put him into the bone ring, bringing him along.

Xuanniao, who successfully left the Sealed Demon Cave, still felt like he was dreaming.

Is that it?

Is that how they came out?

Why does it feel like it’s easier for Xie Wuyan to come out than to clean the palace?

According to reason, rescuing someone from the Sealed Demon Cave is a very dangerous task that requires the guiding person’s strong will to make great sacrifices in order to accomplish it.

But when it came to her, Shen Wanqing just said, ‘I want to go up,’ and then they went up just like that?

Where is the strong will? Where is the great sacrifices? Aren’t you going to struggle a bit?

Xuanniao felt like His Highness was really a dog.

“It’s been a stick of incense, and our Palace Master still hasn’t come out.”

“Could it be that the Palace Master has already…”

The demon generals squatting at the door were extremely loyal. They played Five in a Row on the ground with pebbles while mourning for Shen Wanqing.

They decided to create a statue for Shen Wanqing and Xie Wuyan.

Then they started arguing about what kind of posture the statue should assume to look more imposing.

When Shen Wanqing came out of the Sealed Demon Cave, they were still arguing.

“I think the Palace Master should be on top and His Highness should be below. After all, it was the Palace Master who brought us under her command.”

“It should clearly be His Highness on top and the Palace Master below. Don’t forget who established this domain!”

Shen Wanqing: “?”

What are you guys talking about, something that can’t be broadcasted in Jinjiang1?

It wasn’t until Xuanniao coughed heavily that they quickly stood up straight as if sounding an alarm, and then, when they saw Xie Wuyan, they all froze in place simultaneously.

The expressions on the faces of those demon generals instantly became complicated, with shock, wild joy, and also fear.

People in the demon realm have always yearned for power and worshiped it.

Several hundred years ago, Xie Wuyan was already a terrifying presence even when he was alone. And now, such a powerful person had actually appeared before them, alive and well.

Moreover…

There was a good chance he would become their leader!

It would be quite prestigious to spread the news.

However, before those demon generals could get excited, Xie Wuyan, who had been motionless all this time, suddenly trembled, and then raised his eyes abruptly. Flames erupted from his body, and he swiftly moved forward, grabbing the neck of the leading demon general.

Killing intent.

An unmistakable killing intent, without any attempt to conceal it.

That was the ferocity these demons had never encountered before, causing a group of people to take a few steps back, revealing expressions of fear.

Shen Wanqing didn’t stop Xie Wuyan.

It was only in the next second, as if he really intended to strangle the demon, that she shouted, “Xie Wuyan, don’t kill him.”

Xie Wuyan released his grip, slowly turned around, and looked at Shen Wanqing.

“He just came out of the Sealed Demon Cave and couldn’t control his murderous aura.” Shen Wanqing explained.

The demon generals dared not utter a word.

In fact, Shen Wanqing could have stopped Xie Wuyan just now, but she didn’t.

Because she couldn’t let too many people know that Xie Wuyan hadn’t recovered his soul yet, which would give many ill-intentioned individuals an opportunity. And she couldn’t trust all the demons; in case someone leaked the information, Heavenly Dao Palace would definitely not spare Xie Wuyan.

So she had to make these informed people afraid.

Let them know how terrifying Xie Wuyan’s power truly was.

“You all go back first,” Shen Wanqing said, “The people from Heavenly Dao Palace are not fools. The chaos we have caused these days will easily make them suspicious. They must have planted spies near the palace, so Xie Wuyan won’t go back now.”

The demon generals asked, “Then, Palace Master, where are you going? Do we need to follow?”

“No, it’s inconvenient with too many people.”

She had to mend Xie Wuyan’s soul.

Within one month.

That is the deadline set by the system for her.

Shen Wanqing said, “I need a carriage.”

Xuanniao was puzzled.

Not to mention that her swordsmanship is now very advanced, let alone the fact that Xuanniao itself has regained the ability to change size at will. It would be an insult to the bird if they still had to rely on a carriage to travel.

To explain this, Shen Wanqing explained, “Xie Wuyan’s current condition is very difficult to control, and we need to conceal ourselves. A carriage is better for disguising our identities and making us appear more ordinary.”

Xuanniao thought it made sense.

In fact, speaking of the current state of Xie Wuyan, Shen Wanqing didn’t think he would cause her any trouble. After all, he looked obedient, sensible, and very well-behaved.

Until bedtime.

The author has something to say:

Xuanniao, in the first sixty chapters, competed for favor with Shen Wanqing, and after chapter sixty, he will compete for favor with Xie Wuyan.

Xuanniao was speechless.

Both protagonists seem more like pets than me.

Strange.
