Aoqian originally thought that after returning Song Xiwei's spiritual power, he would be affected to some extent.

But more than himself, he cared about Song Xiwei.

To his surprise, after Song Xiwei's spiritual power left him, he discovered that this unexpectedly caused some changes in the inherited power and the external pressure he was experiencing.

Because the Demon King specifically targeted the Demon Clan and thus refined some magical artifacts to restrain him, Ao Qian will be affected to some extent.

However, these magical artifacts will no longer be able to restrain him, because Aoqian's current physical condition is completely unaffected by them.

It can be said that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.

He is now increasingly convinced that Song Xiwei is his lucky star.

That's why he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to make a move on her.

“You just said that the Demon King arranged for a strong man to be with me, so he probably hasn’t gone far and is waiting for you to come back to him.” Ao Qian suddenly calmed down, thought for a while, and then asked Song Xiwei.

Song Xi nodded slightly. "He probably thought I would go back."

"Then so be it!" Aoqian suddenly smiled, as if he had made a decision.

"What are your thoughts?" Song Xi looked at Ao Qian with a hint of wariness.

"I've fully recovered now, and I'm no longer affected by his magical artifacts. Settling scores with him is more than enough for me. I simply can't tolerate his scheme against us!" Ao Qian stared at Song Xiwei. "Don't tell me you're going to be soft-hearted towards him. He deserves to die. He's done so many heinous things, instigating chaos in the mortal and cultivation worlds, and almost made you... Anyway, his death is too good for him. He has to pay the price!"

"Did I say I was going to be soft-hearted? You've said so much to me. I'm not being soft-hearted, I'm just worried about you. You have to be careful, he's very cunning, don't let him trick you. I know you definitely want to go by yourself and not let me come with you..."

Song Xiwei is absolutely right.

How could Aoqian possibly let her see the Demon King again?

Hearing this, Song Xiwei's eyes and heart were full of worry for him.

Ao Qian smiled and said, "He only knows those underhanded tricks. We were careless when we fell for his tricks before, but that may not be the case now."

Song Xiwei roughly understood what Aoqian meant.

She didn't go with him because Aoqian didn't want her to see anything too unpleasant.

Aoqian still wanted her to see a clean and pure world.

"No matter what, don't underestimate the enemy. I'll wait for your safe return..."

"You should go back to Chidu first," Aoqian suddenly said.

"Are you worried that I might ruin things halfway through? Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted when dealing with heinous criminals," Song Xiwei said helplessly.

Aoqian shook his head. "There may have been demon spies infiltrating Chidu. You should go back first, but it's best not to alert them. Observe first, and I will come back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiwei nodded, "Alright. My presence here would only distract you."

"I'll send you into the teleportation array." Aoqian was actually very reluctant to part with Song Xiwei, even if it was just for a short time, he felt very depressed.

But this is all he can do now. He doesn't care about any demon spies at all. He sent Song Xiwei back to Chidu only because he was afraid that if he wasn't by her side, someone else might appear out of nowhere and kidnap Song Xiwei again. He would go crazy if that happened.

As Song Xiwei stepped into the teleportation array, she felt the lingering affection in Ao Qian's eyes.

For no apparent reason, her heart softened, and she stepped out of the teleportation array to give Aoqian a hug.

Aoqian's voice was muffled, sounding uneasy, "If I could, I would rather stay with you forever and never be separated."

Song Xiwei was amused by his childish words, "We'll see each other again soon."
