Raising the Villain for Those Years

Shangshen of Penglai, Shu Yun, accepts an old friend's request to protect their son through his tribulation and picks up a pitiful little apprentice along the way.

Unexpectedly, after she...

Chapter Forty-Four

The Guhuoniao was among the first group of demons to arrive. This beautiful deity's place of residence after entering the Demon Abyss was the closest to its territory.

"The Guhuo bird flies by day and hides by night. It is a kind of ghost and spirit. Its feathers make it a bird, and when it takes off its clothes, it becomes a woman. It is also called the Heavenly Emperor's Daughter, the Night Wanderer, the Hook Star, and the Hidden Flyer. The bird has no offspring, but it likes to take human children and raise them as its own."

Accompanying them were a nine-tailed fox and a vengeful ghost from the nearby area.

Shu Yun naturally sensed the presence of these demons and ghosts. Without stopping, she headed towards the place where the demonic energy was strongest.

The nine-tailed fox landed lightly on the tree trunk next to the Guhuoniao, its nine fiery red tails stretching out freely in the moonlight.

She licked her paws, her fox eyes narrowing slightly. "She went in the direction of the demon god."

The feathers of the Guhuoniao trembled violently, standing upright and flipping in the opposite direction, and the flipped feathers became the skin of a human girl.

Before long, a giant bird transformed into a naked human woman right under the nine-tailed fox's nose.

The nine-tailed fox snorted disdainfully twice and transformed into a human form with an alluring appearance. "You should at least conjure up some clothes for yourself."

The Guhuoniao glanced at the nine-tailed fox and said, "What's the difference between wearing those clothes and not wearing them?"

"It's better than you not wearing anything at all."

"Seductive and alluring."

"Shameless child thief."

The Guhuoniao hates it when people say it steals children. "What did you say?!"

That was originally my child!

The nine-tailed fox twirled her loose hair with her fingers, leaning lazily against the tree trunk, her curves fully exposed. "Come on, all you do is steal chickens and dogs all day long. What's the difference between you and that weasel in the west?"

The Guhuoniao demon's power overflowed, and the girl's fair arms were covered with feathers, which turned into bird claws and reached out to grab the nine-tailed fox.

The two engaged in a fierce battle; the struggle between powerful demons was no small matter, and the clash of their demonic powers destroyed many trees.

Unsatisfied with their human forms, the two demons transformed into their demonic forms and began tearing each other apart.

The vengeful spirit stayed away from the battlefield, not interfering in the fight between the two crazy "women," its gaze always following the deity who suddenly descended upon the Demon Abyss.

That female immortal is incredibly powerful; it doesn't think it can defeat her, and neither can those two madmen.

Just as the aura of the demon god awakened, the demons in the Demon Abyss were also filled with unease. After all, the demon god does not distinguish between friend and foe, and the first to suffer will be those in the Demon Abyss.

It would be best if that deity fought the demon, resulting in both being severely injured, so that it could reap the benefits.

The power released by Shu Yun momentarily shocked the demons in the Demon Abyss. The demons, who were used to scheming against each other, basically shared the same idea as the vengeful ghost.

Nobody wanted to be the one to take the lead.

The closer you get to that place, the fewer demons there are, since they can't afford to mess with that being.

Shu Yun gradually smelled a familiar scent—the fragrance of flowers.

After bypassing that mountain and walking along the gaps between the mountains, the view gradually opened up, and the bright red camellias covered the mountain walls. The sight of red camellias was dazzling.

Shu Yun sensed a familiar presence among the camellias, and the camellias seemed to sense her presence as well, their vines moving and gently climbing onto her fingers.

The soft petals gently patted her fingers, as if comforting her.

Shu Yun pursed her lips, and two lines of clear tears slid down, dripping onto the camellia flowers.

After a while, she wiped away her tears and continued walking forward, searching for something among the mountains.
