"Xiao Ying, do you know? Dad told me that I'm not actually a Muggle. Because I fully inherited the demonic abilities of the Yehenara family, he helped me wash away my demonic nature and made me a Muggle." Xia Yu said to Xia Xiang with a sorrowful expression.

“I’m not happy, I’m even more upset. Even if I were half-demonized and half-powered like Xia Tian or Xia Mei, I wouldn’t let you suffer so much.”

“I know you’re not being willful or disregarding your family’s feelings. You just want to shoulder all the risks yourself. Did you already know Dad’s identity all along?”

"You idiot! How could I, Xia Yu, have such a stupid sister like you! You never tell the family anything! You never tell me anything!" Xia Yu said, both anxious and angry. He lightly flicked Xia Xiang's forehead with his finger and then gently rubbed it for her.

"While your brother still has patience, you'd better get up quickly, or I'll take all your allowance and spend all the money you've saved here."

—The Underworld—

“Your brother is a really good person. He helped you with your funeral arrangements,” Sun Yi said, looking at Xia Xiang with a hint of envy. “He helped you get rid of all your worldly possessions.”

Xia Xiang glared at him fiercely: "Sun Yi, if you can't speak properly, then don't open your mouth."

“I can speak,” Sun Yi retorted, raising his head.

"Yes, you know it very well, your little mouth is like it's been smeared with arsenic." Xia Xiang was so upset she could hardly breathe. "Then tell me, how exactly do I need to go back?"

Sun Yi: "I won't say anything, I'm here to arrest you."

"Then can you please stop talking?" Xia Xiang glared at him.

Sun Yi nodded silently.

Xia Yu received a call from the professor and decided to ask for a long leave. While he was out answering the call, Jiu Wu, who had just woken up, walked into the ward.

"Little Fatty, can you hear me?" Jiu Wu's face was pale, and he was still wearing the same blood-stained clothes from the afternoon. "Father has contacted Master, he'll be back soon, you have to hold on."

"If you dare to die without a word, I'll go to the underworld and teach you a lesson. Anyway, you know me, I won't live much longer."

"But if you die, this time it's your turn to wait for me. You'll wait for twenty years in the underworld... no, ten years is fine... never mind, five years. I've been waiting all along, so I know how painful it is to wait. I can't bear to make you wait for me for so long."

"You little flirt, what if you fall for someone else?"

"I can't stay too long. I need to go back and take charge, otherwise everything you've done will be in vain. If you wake up, wait for me in the hospital. If you die, wait for me in the underworld. I will definitely come to find you."

—The Underworld—

"Is he that Jiu Wu?" Sun Yi asked cautiously.

Xia Xiang silently shed tears, "Didn't I tell you not to talk?"

"You're not the Demon Lord, so I won't listen to you." Sun Yi suddenly remembered that he seemed to be a villain.

"Can I wait a little longer?" Xia Xiang said pitifully, wiping away her tears. "My boyfriend asked me to wait for him here for five years. I can't abandon him again. Look, he looks just like you. Please give me some half-hearted sympathy."

“How about I be your boyfriend? We look exactly alike anyway,” Sun Yi said after a moment’s thought. “Then come with me, I’ll take you to see the Demon Lord.”

"Are you an idiot?" Xia Xiang rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. "Even if you look alike, you are not him at all."

Jiu Wu, her eyes still red, quietly looked at Xia Xiang when the door was suddenly opened.

"Xia Xiang!" Hu Yanjing and Ren Chenfeng rushed in and came to Xia Xiang's bedside, followed by another person.

"Rex? What brings you here?" Jiu Wu looked at Rex, who looked exactly like Xia Yu, with some surprise.

"Isn't he Brother Yu?" Hu Yanjing stared wide-eyed at Rex, whose face was dark.

"Of course not." Rex didn't know what was wrong with Xia Xiang. He ignored the two kids he had met along the way and looked at Jiu Wu reproachfully. "What happened to her?"

Jiu Wu lowered his head, his lips trembling, and remained silent.
