Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 154 Two

Chapter 154 Two

Iron nails, animal traps.

In the narrow passage leading to the innermost cave, there were piles of rocks covered with soil.

It's still the same familiar setup as before.

"You haven't made any progress."

Shangguan Yunman muttered to herself, a smile unconsciously curving her lips, and then she lowered her head and crawled inside.

What should I say?

"What a coincidence?"

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, we meet again."

She pondered silently, trying her best to keep her words and tone calm and indifferent, with a hint of surprise, befitting her status.

She couldn't, and shouldn't, give him a kind look.

Unless he continues to force her with the blood pact!

The passageway was filled with hidden weapons, but she dodged them all with ease.

Some light came from the cave ahead.

He's inside!

Inside the cave, there should still be that dim oil lamp, and maybe even candles.

There might still be coal burning under the stove.

At this time, he was probably meditating and cultivating.

Shangguan Yunman maintained her aloof expression as she walked through the passage and went inside.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

Upon reaching the innermost cave, seeing the familiar dim yellow light inside, fearing he might suddenly launch an attack, she spoke first.

His voice was indifferent, arrogant, and aloof, with a hint of just the right amount of surprise.

As she spoke, her gaze swept quickly across the spacious cave, but she did not see that familiar figure.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the brand-new coffin in the corner.

The coffin was placed in the very spot where she used to sleep and cultivate.

Suddenly, a petite figure stood up from inside the coffin.

She was wearing a black cloak, a hat, and a black veil, and her dark eyes looked at her coldly.

"Who are you?"

She asked.

Shangguan Yunman was stunned for a moment, her eyes instantly turning icy as she stared at her and asked, "And who are you?"

The already chilly air in the cave seemed to freeze instantly at this moment.

Even the oil lamp in the corner seemed to tremble in fright at the chill and went out with a "poof".

"Squeak squeak ————"

In a dark corner, a group of vampire bats suddenly opened their scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes.

A surge of murderous intent instantly filled the entire cave!

As dawn broke.

Luo Qingchen emerged from the woods, her feet barely touching the ground, and with a "whoosh," she leaped over the waterfall and into the valley.

After a night of searching, they only managed to hunt down one magical beast.

He encountered two teams during his journey, both of which seemed to be disciples of the Demon Exorcism Sect. He was even chased by one of the teams for a distance, so he immediately returned.

The magical beast he hunted was very large and seemed to have a lot of blood, but it only added two points of Xuanjin blood to his body.

The cultivation progress within the body only increased by five points.

He decided to go back and take another medicinal bath to see the final effect before deciding whether to go hunting again.

He didn't dare go too far on this hunting trip, so his harvest was meager.

The next time he went hunting, he decided to go to a slightly farther place and try his luck.

As he pondered this, he walked toward the cave.

As soon as he reached the cave entrance, he suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood wafting from inside the cave.

Human blood!

He could clearly distinguish between human and magical beast blood, as well as the blood of magical creatures.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately checked the hidden weapons placed at the cave entrance.

All the hidden weapons were normal.

"Could it be that Junior Sister Ye is taking a blood bath?"

His whole body tensed. He quietly drew his knife and, as he slipped into the cave, called out, "Junior Sister Ye?"

There was no response from inside the cave.

His expression changed slightly. He held his breath, slowed his pace, and moved the knife tip forward, step by step, through the passage.

As he walked out of the narrow passage, he suddenly noticed that the ground was littered with the corpses of many vampire bats.

His heart sank!

The internal energy surged forth and flowed into the blade in his hand.

"Junior Sister Ye?"

He shouted again, his figure flashed, and he suddenly leaped into the innermost cave, his horizontal sword slashing in front of him with a "whoosh"!

Upon seeing the unfamiliar figure in the cave, he immediately slashed at it with his sword.

The figure stood with his back to him. Just as his sword was about to strike the other's head, the other person ghost-like extended two fingers from his shoulder and easily caught the blade with a "clang"!

The blade, carrying all his strength, emitted a sharp whistling sound as it sliced ​​through the air, exuding an invincible and powerful aura, yet it was easily caught between the opponent's two fingers!

No matter how hard he tried, his fingertips remained completely still!

This startled him so much that he was scared out of his wits!

The opponent's strength is terrifying!

He stared at the other person's figure again, and suddenly paused, feeling that it was somewhat familiar.

That figure—

When the other person slowly turned around and he saw her shapely, slender profile, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"You're going to kill me?"

Shangguan Yunman turned around, her two fingers holding his blade, her beautiful and aloof face covered in frost, her eyes staring at him coldly.

"It's you—"

The force that Luo Qingchen had been frantically channeling into the blade was instantly released and withdrawn, leaving a look of astonishment on her face.

How could it be her?

Shangguan Yunman loosened her grip, her tone cold as she said, "What, are you disappointed?"

Luo Qingchen paused, sheathed her sword, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Junior Sister Ye? Did you make your move?"

The ground was littered with the corpses of vampire bats.

It seems she killed all the vampire bats in the cave.

When two female demons meet, what will be the outcome—the greater demon encountering the lesser demon?

"I killed her."

Shangguan Yunman said calmly, taking out a bloody human skin from her storage bracelet, "The skin has been peeled off, do you want to take a look?"

Luo Qingchen's expression changed instantly.

"She started it."

Shangguan Yunman's large, watery eyes stared coldly at him as she said, "What, are you going to avenge her?"

Luo Qingchen's expression shifted as she stared at the human skin in her hand for a while before suddenly saying, "This isn't Junior Sister Ye's human skin."

This human skin is too big.

Junior Sister Ye is a petite girl; she couldn't possibly be this big.

Shangguan Yunman put away the human skin and said, "I have many here, you might have taken the wrong one. Why don't I take them all out and you can look for them yourself?"

Luo Qingchen stared at her without saying anything more.

Suddenly, he walked to the coffin in the corner and, with a loud bang, pushed open the heavy coffin lid.

Inside the coffin, Ye Fu lay bound by iron chains, her dark eyes staring coldly at him.

"Let her go."

Luo Qingchen turned her head and looked at the beautiful and aloof woman opposite her.

Are you ordering me around?

Shangguan Yunman said coldly.

Luo Qingchen paused for a moment, then said, "I'm just asking you a favor."

The blood pact between the two still exists.

Now, as long as he activates the blood pact within him again, the other party will immediately become as obedient as a slave, obeying his every command and letting him do as he pleases.

Although he had indeed promised her before that their blood pact had ended.

But he really couldn't understand why the other party would be so audacious as to come here before the blood pact had completely disappeared.

He is the demon king of the Demon Extermination Sect.

Does she truly believe his previous promises, or does she simply think she's lucky and won't run into him again?

If he activates the blood pact within her again today, then the time she spent waiting after leaving will be completely wasted, and she will have to wait another year.

Therefore, he didn't understand at all.

"I'm here to investigate a case."

Shangguan Yunman seemed to see the doubt in his eyes, turned her face slightly away to avoid his gaze, and said in a light voice.

"What case?"

Luo Qingchen asked.

Shangguan Yunman's gaze returned to him, and she said coldly, "Many disciples of our Blood Eagle Sect were slaughtered at the foot of the mountain, and the demons being escorted suddenly disappeared from their iron cages. I checked, and the iron cages were intact, the iron locks were intact, and the black gold chains inside were also intact, but the demons have vanished. Do you know what happened?"

'

Luo Qingchen shook her head.

A cold smile appeared on Shangguan Yunman's lips as she looked at him with her watery eyes and said, "As far as I know, you have this ability."

Luo Qingchen said, "I just broke through to the Strength Realm, do you think that's possible?"

"And her too."

Shangguan Yunman glanced coldly at the coffin, then stared at him and said, "She has vampire bats, and her strength is already at the peak of the Strength Realm. Although you have indeed just broken through to the Strength Realm, your skill—"

At this point, she suddenly paused, as if she had just remembered something. Her pupils contracted, and she stared at him in disbelief, saying, "You—you're about to break through again? So, you're hiding here preparing to do so?"

Luo Qingchen did not answer.

But Shangguan Yunman immediately understood, her heart trembled, and she looked at him in disbelief, saying, "You—you just broke through to the Qi Realm—"

"She's faster than me."

Luo Qingchen glanced inside the coffin.

Shangguan Yunman's eyelids twitched, and her gaze returned to the girl in the coffin. After a long silence, she looked at him with a complicated expression: "No wonder—you two are together."

She suddenly added, "Didn't you say you had a fiancée? How are you going to explain this to her?"

Inside the coffin, Ye Fu's eyes, which had just closed, suddenly opened again.

"Whom should we explain to? And what should we explain?"

Luo Qingchen looked at her with a strange expression.

Shangguan Yunman's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."

He paused, then added, "I'd like to know, did you actually go to the foot of Blood Eagle Sect Mountain before?"

Luo Qingchen did not answer immediately.

She added, "I was just asking. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, and I wouldn't dare to."

Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment before nodding: "I've been there."

Shangguan Yunman didn't speak again, stared at him for a while, and walked towards the cave exit. When she reached the outer passage, she suddenly turned back to look at him and said, "I also want to ask, since you went there, why didn't you use the blood pact to order me to go and help you? If I had helped you, you shouldn't have been in any danger."

Luo Qingchen said, "Didn't I already say before that our blood pact has ended?"

1

"Oh."

Shangguan Yunman seemed to let out a mocking sound, staring at him and saying, "So, the Demon-Suppressing Sect's demon lords actually have some who keep their promises?"

After saying that, she walked into the passageway.

"Wait a moment."

Luo Qingchen suddenly said.

Shangguan Yunman stopped and said, "What, are you having second thoughts?"

Luo Qingchen said, "Do you have any magical beasts with you? I only hunted one last night, which might not be enough. If you have any—"

"no."

She said coldly.

Then he added, "Even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you!"

After saying that, he quickly left.

Soon, the footsteps disappeared outside the cave.

Luo Qingchen paused, walked to the coffin, and helped the girl inside remove the chains binding her. She asked with concern, "Junior Sister Ye, are you alright?"

Ye Fu remained lying there motionless, her dark eyes coldly fixed on him, scanning his face as if observing something.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qingchen touched her face in confusion.

"Did you sign a blood pact with her?"

She suddenly spoke.

Luo Qingchen said, "Yes, when I was cultivating here, she was seriously injured. In order to protect myself, I forced her to sign a blood pact."

Ye Fu suddenly sat up in the coffin and said, "Then crush her heart right now to avenge Zhizhi!"

Luo Qingchen refused: "My blood pact with her has ended, as you just heard."

"If you don't kill her, I'll kill you!"

Suddenly, Ye Fu pressed the dagger in her hand against his throat, staring at him with a chilling gaze.

Luo Qingchen reached out and grasped her slender wrist, removing the dagger from her hand, and said, "You're seriously injured, you should rest well."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the stove to prepare to start a fire and brew the medicine.

"She just said you have a fiancée?"

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke again.

As Luo Qingchen started a fire, she said, "No one takes the betrothal we made when we were kids seriously."

"What's her name? Where is she now?"

She asked again.

Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then decided there was nothing wrong with saying it, and said, "Her name is Xue Feixue, and she is currently a disciple of Xueyu Palace."

"Snow—or not snow?"

She paused, a look of bewilderment suddenly appearing in her dark eyes.

is her?

"Sister, look, that girl is so pretty, and her clothes are so beautiful. I wish we could have an outfit like that too!"

"Sister, that girl bullies him every day. Should we secretly help him get revenge?"

"You're so silly, didn't you realize they're a couple?"

"Sister, what does 'a pair' mean?"

"It means—they're going to get married and become husband and wife."

Memories surfaced, and the beautiful figure in the white dress had become blurred.

But her conversation with her sister remains clear.

Suddenly, she remembered a scene from when she first met the girl. She and her sister were begging on the street, so hungry they were about to faint.

The girl, dressed beautifully and holding two strings of candied hawthorns, skipped and hopped past.

When the girl saw the sisters, she stopped, stared at them strangely for a while, then said something odd and left.

Not long after the girl left, he and his sister appeared before the sisters.

In his sister's other hand, she was holding a string of candied hawthorns.

The strange thing that girl said to her was something like—

It seems to be ————

She thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be — Ah Fu, I'll be waiting for you.

Do not!

It's not Afu!

Is it Afu?

"Afu, I'll be waiting for you."

But at that time, her name wasn't Afu at all.

When she entered Medicine Man Town, her name was Ye Fu.

Also, what does "I'll wait for you" mean?
