Chapter 196 Searching for the Abyss with Remaining Bones

To find the demon, they needed some clues, so Feng Huaijin led the way and Su Yu went to the place where they had previously found Ying Lang to investigate.

However, because of the previous fight with the three prisoners who had already been captured, the scene had been destroyed and was in a mess, so it would probably be difficult to find any clues.

In this large area that looked as if it had been ravaged by a tornado, the trees were leaning and the grass was flattened, indicating that the fighting was indeed very intense.

Su Yu stepped over a thick tree branch on the ground, which was probably cut off by demonic energy, and her expression suddenly became subtle.

Xiaoqi whispered:

After making that beep, Xiaoqi quickly disappeared.

This time, it issued a warning as soon as it discovered Su Yao's presence, and it decided not to participate in any of the ensuing excitement.

In order to upgrade to an advanced system that allows users to select and permanently bind to a host as soon as possible, today is another day of immersive and diligent learning for Xiaoqi.

Su Yu: ...? ? ?

Who is it? Who's in the Demon Realm? Is it Su Yao? When did she arrive? What are she doing here? Did her colleague You Fujun come with her?

Considering Su Yao's protagonist-like luck of always running into trouble, it's not impossible that she might just happen to be in the same place as the demon they're looking for...

In an instant, Su Yu stopped, her expression shifting unpredictably.

Feng Huaijin glanced at him, then leaned closer to Su Yu and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Yu turned her head, looked directly at Feng Huaijin, and slowly said, "Your sister is here."

Feng Huaijin: ...? ? ?

Where did he get a sister? Oh, it seems they do have one.

I've had so much fun with my brother lately that I almost forgot about my adopted sister.

"It's Su Yao?" Feng Huaijin was somewhat surprised. "She's come to the Demon Realm?"

Speaking of Su Yao, Feng Huaijin's deepest impression of her, besides being Su Yu's personal recognition of her as "our little sister," was the series of provocations she had shown him in the Spirit Realm.

She said, "Don't even think about entering the Su family! Don't even think about it!" And she kept repeating that she and her brother were siblings!

Saying this once is enough; he's not deaf to it!

It was a provocation so intense that Feng Huaijin would grit his teeth and sharpen his sword in the middle of the night just thinking about it.

But it's okay.

Feng Huaijin smiled and said gently to Su Yu, "Now that A Yao is here, we, as the hosts, should take care of her. After we meet, I will arrange for the demon to take her to have fun in various parts of the demon realm."

After all, he was Su Yu's acknowledged younger brother and partner, so she should be tolerant of her immature sister.

Then we'll have Sang Er take her far away.

Anyway, there are quite a few troublemakers in various parts of the Demon Realm, so it's a good opportunity for Su Yao to handle them. She can put to good use the sense of justice that humans have cultivated in her, and by the way, she can also be used as a whetstone to help her increase her practical combat experience. It's not like she's treating her adopted sister unfairly.

The ruthless demon lord was secretly plotting something, but on the surface he was all smiles and friendliness: "I remember I had to apologize for lying to her. I've been keeping the apology gift in my storage ring. Now that I've seen it, I can give it to her."

He then frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled, and asked, "Do you think my sister will forgive me?"

Su Yu: ...Why do I feel like something's not right?

Su Yu snapped out of her daze, glanced at Feng Huaijin's handsome face filled with concern, and after a moment of silence said, "I will tell A Yao that you are her second brother. As for other matters, you can handle them yourselves."

We're all family. As for the demon, never mind. We're all family, so nothing serious should happen. Twelve and Ayao both know what they're doing.

“Of course, don’t worry, brother, I will treat A Yao as my own sister.” Feng Huaijin said with a smile, then asked as if he suddenly remembered something, “How did you know she was here, brother? There was no movement from the communication stone just now.”

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, not hiding anything from him. However, since he couldn't directly say things like "the main character in the story," he changed his words: "According to the system's detection function, this magical artifact has quite a few functions. Once you break through and ascend, you'll be able to see its artifact spirit."

Feng Huaijin nodded to indicate that he understood.

Next, Su Yu used the recording stone to document the scene in case any other clues were missed. Then, she brought up the map in the system to check Su Yao's location, preparing to go and see her first.

To prevent Su Yao from actually encountering a demon and then accidentally overhearing something and being hunted down.

Whenever Su Yu and Feng Huaijin approached the area where Su Yao was located, which was about one kilometer in radius, Su Yao's position on the map would rapidly move away from that area in the opposite direction from them.

At first, Su Yu was a little suspicious that it was just a coincidence, but after it happened three times in a row, she knew that something was wrong.

Feng Huaijin waited quietly to the side for Su Yu to make a decision.

Looking at the coordinates of Su Yao on the system map, which showed she had run three kilometers away, Su Yu decided not to continue chasing her. She turned to Feng Huaijin and said, "Let's go. Let's find a place further away to settle the chain."

First, it's certain that Su Yao also had the testing equipment. Second, either Su Yao knew it was him and Twelve and was deliberately hiding from them, or she didn't know but needed to hide from the demon.

So, could it be related to those demons who want to steal the bones?

Su Yu decided to tie the chain and return to the camp to see what Yuan Wu and the others had found out. She hoped that dealing with the demons as soon as possible would make Su Yao safer, no matter why she was hiding from them.

Even if she leaves this poisonous forest, if the demons of the Ghost Market keep an eye out for major events and rumors, they will probably know about Su Yao's situation.

Su Yu didn't even think to ask You Fujun. If this colleague didn't know, she should have already messaged him that Su Yao was missing. The fact that there was no news until now probably means that she knew but didn't report it.

Su Yao and You Fujun are not exactly troublesome for the demons either.

After walking about the right distance, Su Yu stopped, looked around and found a relatively flat spot. She then took out a clean bed sheet from her storage ring.

Feng Huaijin stepped forward and took the sheet, neatly spreading it on the floor.

His fingertips trembled slightly, from excitement.

They even brought out the bed sheets, could it really be something else, cough cough...

Su Yu stared blankly at Feng Huaijin, who was still half-squatting on the ground after the cloth had been laid out, and whose ears were red again for some reason.

What's wrong? Is the sheet dirty? He just wanted to be lazy and finish the spell while sitting down. He'd heard that merging souls can make your legs weak.

Although she didn't understand, Su Yu knew that Feng Huaijin was definitely thinking about something not so serious.

He paused for a moment, then concealed his presence and slowly moved forward.

His gaze was fixed on Feng Huaijin, like a large feline preparing to hunt.

The moment Feng Huaijin noticed Su Yu's breathing weakening, he frowned and turned to get up.

Feng Huaijin's pupils contracted sharply. He didn't have time to dodge, or perhaps he didn't even intend to dodge, as Su Yu tackled him directly onto the newly laid black sheets.

Some more bits of grass were squeezed out from under the sheets, drifting away lightly with the air currents.

Su Yu sat up, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows. He slowly parted his lips and said, "What naughty things were you thinking about just now? Hmm?"
