Only then did Li Molin slowly release Liuli. Liuli, now free, looked him up and down and asked in confusion, "Li Molin, I was the one who entered the demon array, so how come you seem to be more seriously injured than me?"

"Sister!" As soon as Ahua, who had been watching over her, saw that Li Molin had let go of Liuli, she jumped up onto Liuli's shoulder. She gently rubbed Liuli's face and said in a choked voice, "It's so good that you're alright, sister."

Liuli smiled gently, hugged Ahua in her arms, and said softly, "I'm fine, Ahua."

When Liuli came out, Li Molin had only glanced at her briefly and was relieved to see that she was unharmed. But upon hearing Liuli's words, he immediately became anxious and asked urgently, "Are you injured? Where are you hurt?"

"No, no," Liuli shook her head and said, "I'm not injured. What about you? Why are you injured?"

Li Molin looked her over carefully from head to toe, and indeed there seemed to be no wounds, not even a tear in her clothes. He was relieved and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're alright."

"You still haven't told me, Li Molin, how did you get injured?" Liuli asked, frowning.

Li Molin refused to answer. He turned to Li Gan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Father."

Li Gan nodded lightly. He turned to look at the many demons who had come with him from the Demon Realm and said in a deep voice, "You should all go back to the Demon Realm first!"

"Your Majesty." Xi Lian, who had come out early, called out sweetly. She was about to approach Li Gan when Li Gan glanced at her with a gloomy look, and she stopped in her tracks, no longer daring to take a step forward.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the demons responded in unison, bowed to Li Molin to take their leave, and flew north one after another.

Li Gan stayed behind last. He glanced at Liu Li, then looked at Li Molin and said in a deep voice, "It is an ancestral precept of our Demon Clan not to be too affectionate. You should take heed of this."

"Yes." Li Molin bowed and said in a low voice, "Father has been busy all night, please return to the Demon Realm to rest as soon as possible."

Li Gan nodded, then turned to look at Xi Lian, who stood timidly to the side, and said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay and embarrass yourself some more?!"

"I..." Xi Lian was about to speak, feeling wronged, when Li Gan turned into a black light and flew away in the blink of an eye.

Xi Lian stomped her foot, looked in the direction where Li Gan had disappeared, touched the ground with her toes, and then flew away.

Li Molin watched as Li Gan and the others quickly disappeared into the horizon. He withdrew his gaze, turned to Yu Ke, Ji Jue, and the three demons Liu Li, A Hua, and Lang Yuan, and said, "Now that this matter is settled, we should leave. Let's go."

"Yes." Yu Ke and the others responded and followed Li Molin out of the Gobi Desert.

Liuli glanced at the magic array, pondered for a moment, and then, realizing that someone had gone to rescue Shi Chan, he must be alright. Relieved, she jogged a few steps to catch up. Reaching Li Molin's side, she asked as she walked, "Li Molin, how exactly did you get injured?"

Li Molin turned to look at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said calmly, "Why do you care so much? Just mind your own business."

"Hmph!" Liuli's face darkened, and she muttered, "Can't you speak properly, you jerk!"

Liuli thought for a while, then slowed down and fell to the back. She lowered her head and whispered to Ahua in her arms, "Ahua, how exactly did Li Molin get injured? It's so strange. Did you encounter a powerful righteous cultivator outside the formation? But apart from Li Molin, Yu Ke and the others weren't injured either. Strange, really strange."

Ahua looked up at Li Molin and the others walking ahead, then jumped onto Liuli's shoulder and whispered in Liuli's ear, "Sister, not long after you fell into the formation, Young Master Li went in to rescue you. Later, it was Young Master Li's father who rescued him. After Young Master Li came out, he begged his father to go in and rescue you, but his father refused. Young Master Li begged for a long time before his father finally agreed and rescued you."

Liuli's heart skipped a beat. She stopped abruptly in her tracks and hesitated before asking, "Li Molin... go into the formation to save me?"

“Yes.” Ah Hua nodded and said, “Young Master Li was covered in injuries when he came out, much worse than when my sister saw him.”

"Is he stupid?" Liuli said incredulously. "Doesn't he know the magic array is dangerous?"

Ah Hua said meaningfully, "As the young master of the Demon Clan, how could he not know the danger of the Demon Clan's formation? But he still went in to save my sister."

Deeply moved, Liuli's eyes sparkled as she ran a few steps to Li Molin's side. She grabbed his arm, looked up at him with her small face, and called out gratefully, "Li Molin..."

Li Molin was stunned for a moment. He slowed his pace and stopped in his tracks, asking in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Did you get brain damage in the magic array?"

The emotion she felt vanished almost instantly. Liu Li's face darkened, and she flung Li Molin's arm away, angrily saying, "You bastard, can't you just say one thing properly? Not even one?"

Li Molin smiled wickedly, put his hands behind his back, and continued walking forward.

Liuli rolled her eyes. She walked to Li Molin's side and said as she walked, "No matter what, thank you for saving me from the formation, Li Molin."

Li Molin turned to look at her, his expression gentle, and said softly, "No need to be so polite."
