"The Dean and the others should be back soon. It's only safe for now. Be careful to prevent other monsters from invading. You should sit down and rest for a bit."

Dog Egg could only nod and sit down beside her to begin cultivating and recovering his spiritual power.

Qi Yu's eyes were half-closed and her head was lowered. She was clenching her teeth so hard they were about to break. Her whole body was trembling and she was sweating profusely.

Suddenly, a pair of snow-white boots embroidered with purple thread appeared in her blurry vision. The person squatted down and lifted her up from her kneeling position.

Lai Pi leaned his head close to Qi Yu's neck, taking a deep sniff.

"This painful aura is truly delicious..."

"But... it could be a little stronger."

Qi Yu turned her head, trying to break free, but she couldn't muster any strength.

Lai Pi smiled as he looked at her weak appearance. "Wouldn't the aroma be even more delicious if you killed off all the people important to you?"

He tossed Qi Yu into the arms of the boy beside him and walked step by step toward Mu Luo, who was sitting blankly in front of the monster's corpse.

"Let's start with you, dear Senior Brother Mu."

Qi Yu could barely hear the sounds of the outside world at this point; she could only smell the strange, foul odor that, though masked, still drifted into her nostrils.

She crawled out of Gou Dan's arms with trembling hands and feet, watching Lai Pi walk away towards Mu Luo.

A strange stench, odd words, a Lai Pi who seems like a completely different person, and a mysterious mid-level demon who has been secretly helping low-level demons...

A guess suddenly exploded in her mind!

Qi Yu's pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted:

"Senior brother, be careful! Lai Pi is a mid-level demon!!"

Lai Pi paused, and when he turned around, his eyes had turned completely deep purple.

He parted his lips, revealing a set of sharp, serrated teeth, and said:

Congratulations, you got it right.
