Chapter 82 082 Arrives at the Demon Emperor's Palace

When Feng Qingyu threw the green snake into the house, she immediately saw Dongfang Chen being held in Jiang Yan's arms.

Dongfang Chenjiao frowned, but pretended to be calm.

Feng Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, walked to the bedside on her own, and gently removed the long robe that Jiang Yan had reached out to take off.

Dongfang Chen, who was in his arms, was startled and asked silently, "What are you doing?!"

"Take a look at her injuries." Feng Qingyu didn't even look up, focusing only on the new wounds on Jiang Yan's back.

Then he took out some ointment, applied it, and used his spiritual power to lighten her wounds.

Dongfang Chen craned his neck to take a look and saw faint red marks blooming on a back as white as jade.

The woman's slender and graceful figure immediately came into view, and in an instant, it seemed as if the blood in his body was boiling. Dongfang Chen blushed and pretended to be calm as he looked away.

He then said silently, "Is the Demon Emperor also staying to rest tonight? The bed is too small; it might not be very convenient."

Feng Qingyu helped Jiang Yan put on her clothes and smiled slightly.

He conjured a bed with his hand, lay down calmly next to Jiang Yan's.

Dongfang Chen: "..."

Lin Yun and Xiao Bai, who were sitting on the windowsill, also looked shocked.

Is that even possible?!

In the dead of night, the Xuanji jade pendant at Jiang Yan's waist suddenly rippled with a warm, clear light, gently enveloping her like ripples of water. Immediately afterward, her true aura flowed out, a pale pink mist spreading out and intertwining with the light of the jade pendant.

The next day.

When Jiang Yan got up, the room was already empty.

She looked down at the wound on her chest. The recovery of her immortal physique was indeed fast. The wound, which was still slightly painful when she fell asleep last night, was completely gone this morning.

However, the wound has not fully healed yet.

She sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, checking the energy within her body.

Xiao Mei exclaimed excitedly, "Host, the Xuanji Jade actually stabilized your aura so quickly?"

Jiang Yan checked the health status of those people again. Overnight, Dongfang Chen's health status increased by 0.2 points, and it is now 41.

Shen Yuchen's health increased by 0.2 points, now it's 28. Lin Yun's health increased by 0.3 points, now it's 43.6.

Jiang Yan touched the round jade pendant at her waist, somewhat surprised.

"It's definitely a good product!"

Xiao Mei exclaimed excitedly, "Host, keep going! We'll be back soon!"

"Um!"

Jiang Yan got up, quickly packed her things, and then opened the door and went out.

When she finished her meal and was about to say goodbye to Li Shu, that person also came looking for her.

In the deserted corridor, the two walked towards each other unexpectedly. The morning light fell behind her, melting her silhouette into a halo of light, blurry and ethereal.

In an instant, Li Shu's mind was filled with countless thoughts, but in the end, he simply nodded slightly at the face opposite him.

"I'll see you off."

His voice was restrained, reserved, and distant.

"Thank you for your trouble, young master." As Jiang Yan walked out, she gave him a few more instructions about his medication.

Li Shu glanced at the face unintentionally, and although it was the same face, the feeling it gave him was completely different.

With the gate right in front of him, he felt annoyed for the first time that the courtyard wasn't big enough.

Jiang Yan and her group stood at the door to say their final goodbyes.

"Goodbye, young master."

"goodbye."

This parting may be the last time we meet.

Only after her figure disappeared from sight did Butler Wang frown and say, "Since the young master can't let go, why don't you say something..."

Li Shu smiled bitterly, "She never liked me. She was kind to me before because of her kindness, and later she was kind to me because of a sense of responsibility. Even if Yuheng hadn't interfered, our ending might not have been any better. But I still have to settle my score with Yuheng!"

Butler Wang frowned and said, "I've already found out where Yuheng is. Shall we go there now?"

Li Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't want to see him. You take a few people and take care of it."

"yes!"

As Jiang Yan and her group passed through the town center, Shen Miaoyin and her several Daoist companions were having breakfast not far away.

Looking at the jade pendant at Jiang Yan's waist and the mini Taotie on her shoulder, a hint of jealousy flashed in Shen Miaoyin's eyes!

This Jiang Yan is practically her nemesis; lately, nothing good seems to come of it whenever she runs into her! Whatever she wants, this Hua Xiu will do everything in her power to snatch it away!

Shen Miaoyin turned her head and saw Yuheng sitting weakly to the side, and she became even angrier! If it weren't for this good-for-nothing, Hua Xiu wouldn't be so hostile to her at every turn!

This time, we even lost nearly ten thousand spirit stones for nothing because of this good-for-nothing!

Yuheng noticed her gaze, silently put down his chopsticks and said, "Junior sister, I've finished eating, we can set off now."

Shen Miaoyin frowned as she looked at him and said, "Senior Brother Yuheng has suffered a great loss of energy this time and is not suitable to travel with us. It would be better for him to return to Yuanjian Pavilion to recuperate for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yuheng's eyes widened in panic: "Junior sister, I can hold on!"

He knew in his heart that if he returned to Yuanjian Pavilion now, his body would most likely be completely ruined! In time, his junior sister would completely forget about him.

He absolutely cannot leave the team at this time!

Yuheng still wanted to try, but Shen Miaoyin had lost patience. She left him a bag of spirit stones and then called He Chong and the others to leave.

The last junior brother to leave looked at Yuheng and chuckled, "Senior Brother Yuheng, you'd better be sensible and not annoy your senior sister, otherwise she might abandon you, this good-for-nothing, at any time!"

After saying that, he turned and left triumphantly.

In the past, Yuheng used those despicable bedroom techniques to squeeze out his and his other junior brother's opportunities for dual cultivation. Now that he is in this state, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

Yuheng glanced at the purse on the table, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes.

It seems his junior sister is really going to give up on him; he has to save himself!

He grabbed his things and turned to leave, but as he passed through the alley, he was stopped by the men led by Butler Li!

Soon, screams echoed through the alley!

——

The following evening, Jiang Yan led a group of people to the entrance of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

The little demon at the gate, brandishing his weapon and looking fierce, asked, "Who are you? What business do you have at the Demon Emperor's Palace?"

Before Jiang Yan could speak, Gongsun Jin, standing beside her, waved away the little demon's weapon and said calmly, "Go find 'Feng Qingyu' and tell him that his Daoist partner, Jiang Yan, has come to him to break the contract."

The little demon's eyes widened suddenly, "Break...break the contract?!"

His gaze suddenly fell back on Jiang Yan. This woman was truly courting death! How mighty and heroic was their Demon Emperor, how could she, a mere low-level flower cultivator, dare to utter a word of disdain?

The little demon secretly gloated, thinking—she's doomed this time.

"Go quickly."

Gongsun Jin frowned and glanced at the little demon who was endlessly imagining things, urging her impatiently.

The imposing tone easily startled the little demon, who instinctively trembled and said, "Go...go right away!"

How strange! How could he smell the familiar aura of the Demon Emperor on this minor celestial lord?!

Jiang Yan frowned as she watched the little demon tumbling and crawling along the way. She had only come to break the contract, so why was she so frightened?
