The exact nature of the monsters they faced has been a subject of ongoing debate among the Kangnan demon faction over the years.

Some demons say that if it can spit out so many webs, it must be a spider.

But Haiye more often refers to it as the Great Fairy.

This demon is like water, appearing and disappearing without a trace, yet it possesses endless attack methods and can always hunt them down.

Even though he was stuck in the spider web, he only felt his spiritual energy being sucked away, and he never saw the demon's true face.

Zhao Xi thought, "Have you ever considered that it might not be a great demon?"

"What could that be?"

"I don't know either. We'll know when the teacher returns."

Lin Che had said that this thing came from the demon race of the Upper Immortal Realm, and it seemed to be an old acquaintance of his.

Even demons are ordinary cultivators who have been infected by demonic energy; perhaps we can find the key to defeating them.

If she had known this would happen, she would have stopped Lin Che and asked him one more question.

The people in the celestial realm who have fortuitous encounters are truly amazing.

The last time she went to Seven Star Town with Hoshino, she encountered a demon woman who wanted to kidnap him. This time, she was clearly trying to save Mimi's relatives, but it turned out that it was the demons who were behind it all.

Does "person of destiny" mean that she encounters demons wherever she goes?

After finishing dinner, it was already past dusk.

Half the sky was transformed into a dazzling starry night, and the demon beasts took out their spirit stone lamps, making the valley sparkle with stars.

Rabbits, ground squirrels, and other nocturnal creatures cautiously peeked out of their burrows, their ears perked up, and they rustled and crawled through the valley grass in search of food for their respective demon cultivators.

Zhao Xi wanted to take advantage of the sunset to clear the table and set up a luxurious tent in the small open space.

She originally intended to set up the tent before eating, but the narrow valley where everyone lived was too cramped, leaving no space to cook.

So we have no choice but to act now.

Meimei thoughtfully handed her the tools. Sometimes, not used to using her hands, she would subconsciously press her little face against the tool and try to pick it up with her mouth, only to realize that she was now in human form, which amused her.

After the tent was set up, Zhao Xi wanted to help Mei Mei wash up and then sleep in her clothes.

Birdsong rose from not far away, chirping and chattering noisily.

Chirp chirp chirp—look at that tent, it's so big, the fabric is so nice, it can't compare to the tent my second brother picked up at all.

Chirp—I'm so envious! Such a comfortable life! The food is delicious! I want to go into the tent too…burp, I'm so full!

Chirp chirp—stop dreaming, you're a bird! What do birds sleep in tents for?

Zhao Xi noticed the sound, but couldn't understand what the little kingfishers were composing.

She carefully propped her head up and looked worriedly at the little girl beside her pillow.

This girl cries at the drop of a hat; she's a spoiled little crybaby.

Crying a little won't hurt.

When she was a child, no one would pay attention to her even if she cried, and she was prone to spreading negative emotions. She was lectured by older children, which made them afraid to express any grievances.

If this girl is prone to crying, as long as it doesn't interfere with her cultivation, she's happy to let her personality remain. When she feels secure, she'll definitely be the one laughing the most heartily.

Meimei rested her head on her hand covering the kingfisher, trying to sleep with her eyes closed, but she couldn't fall asleep yet. Hearing the bird's chirping, she smiled and giggled a few times.

Zhao Xi was surprised.

It seems like it's not a bad thing.

That puts my mind at ease.

Zhao Xi was awakened in the middle of the night by unusual noises outside the tent.

Various monsters howled in succession, the wolf demon let out a low growl, and the animals moved about with disordered footsteps, making quite a commotion.

She opened her eyes and found that Meimei had already woken up, nestled in her arms, watching other people's shadows cast on the tent.

"Have you been out?" Zhao Xi suddenly realized something and frowned, but when she saw Meimei, she quickly regained her composure.

Meimei obediently shook her head and said in a soft voice, "Brother Haiye told us to stay in the tent and not go out until he has made arrangements, then he will call us."

"Don't come out of the tent, I'll be right back."

"Waaah, Headmistress, don't go... Meimei doesn't want to stay here alone, sob sob sob~" Meimei sobbed softly, tightly hugging her waist with her little arms, just not letting her go.

Zhao Xi, who had been sleeping fully clothed, quickly tied her hair up and patted Mei Mei's head: "You know how amazing Headmistress is. She even helped you fight off those bad guys from the Five Spirits Sect. Later, she even fought a great monster with the Master. I went out to give them advice so that everyone could escape danger."

Meimei's tear-streaked eyelashes trembled, and she pouted, nodding, "Okay... then come back soon~"

Zhao Xi smiled and kissed her forehead, but the moment he left the tent, unease and worry welled up in his eyes, and he hurried toward the main camp.

Isn't Lin Che fighting against the demons? If the demons were attacking now, wouldn't he have been defeated?!

Could it be that she, a mere mortal, is leading the orphans of the Kangnan demon lineage and these demonic beasts to fight against the demons from the celestial realm?!

This valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only the sky and cracks in the surrounding rocks providing passage. Haiye has already mobilized everyone to set up the defensive array.

At this moment, the valley was filled with the dazzling white light of defensive arrays. There were also people on guard and patrolling in the sky and in the crevices of the rocks.

They seem to have already used all the talismans Zhao Xi wanted to give them.

The demonic beasts gathered near the rocks by the main camp, digging deep pits. The light from the spirit stone lamps emanated from the ground.

Zhao Xi wanted to pass by the cave entrance and enter the main camp.

Inside the tent, Haiye and the other demon cultivators were gathered around a large compass, discussing their escape plan.

Zhao Xi glanced around but didn't see Lin Che or the person who looked like Lin Che. She frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
