After receiving the news from Feng Mu, Cen Ji came to Yan Ying in anger and panic.

He never knew that Mu Siyue was so thoughtful.

It’s so serious that they use him to set up a trap.

But in this way, the person who contacted Guiyun Sect and Guiren to reveal the whereabouts of the little ghost was finally found, and that person was Mu Siyue.

Is it because Mu Siyue saved Cen Ji's life that she can act so recklessly?

Cen Ji remembered that he had been struck by fifty fire thunder whips, and had repaid Mu Siyue's kindness to him.

Now, Mu Siyue was only slightly more familiar to him than a stranger.

But how could she dare to make up these words to deceive his little ghost? The little ghost was not very smart to begin with. If she believed it...

Cen Ji heard Yan Ying, who was sleeping soundly, calling Wu Bai's name.

He became even more upset.

Until she woke up from her dream, Cen Ji stood behind her and watched her sit up, not daring to make a sound.

How should he start?

So many things have happened over the years, how can he explain them to her one by one?

"Oh..." Yan Ying sighed lightly and touched the sound stone on her chest out of habit.

The stone has not worked for many years, but she still wears it.

"Will you really kill Wu Bai?" Yan Ying said to herself.

"Won't."

When Yan Ying heard the reply, she lowered her head in shock and looked at the voice stone.

Strangely, the sound stone didn't light up, and she hadn't injected any spiritual energy into it when she spoke just now...

That sound...

Yan Ying turned her head suddenly.

Behind her, a man in a black robe stood facing her with his back to the light.

Yan Ying stood up from the chair swiftly, took off the Qingli on her head, and looked alert.

Cen Ji frowned and looked at Yan Ying with some disappointment.

He thought that after not seeing him for so many years, the little ghost would be very happy to see him again...

"Who are you!" Yan Ying had just woken up and her mind was still a little confused. In addition, the person in front of her was backlit, so she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"You... forgot about me?" Cen Ji asked softly. "If you've forgotten me, why are you still wearing this sound transmission stone?"

Yan Ying's heart moved, and the hand holding Qingli loosened, looking at the person in front of her with a dull look.

Only then did she realize that his hair was slightly curly and he was wearing a black ring on his hand, which was the sound transmission ring she was familiar with.

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with gentle eyes. He could finally appear in front of her.

He had waited for this moment for seven years.

In the past, he could only watch her from afar. He didn't dare to get close, nor did he dare to let her discover him. Listening to her words in the sound stone, he could only suppress his emotions and forcefully resisted responding to her...

Yan Ying saw the man in front of her clearly, and could vaguely see his familiar face.

He had grown a lot taller now, and her head could only reach his chest. His face was no longer thin and childish, but rather charming and cold...

His eyes were dark and deep. Even though she felt that looking into his eyes was extremely dangerous, the way he looked at her was particularly gentle.

Cen Ji looked at the change in Yan Ying's eyes, and before he could walk closer with a smile, he saw Yan Ying raising Qingli in her hand again.

"Are you the Lord of the Demon Realm?" Yan Ying's palms were sweating.

How could she not blame him? He had been gone for seven years.

There had been no news from him for seven years, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. He had even become the Lord of the Demon Realm. It seemed that he had been hiding this from her for seven years. He had been trying to deceive her by saying he believed her.

Now that he's suddenly back, how can she know he won't disappear again?

"Yes, I am now the Lord of the Demon Realm." Cen Ji nodded.

He wanted to confess to her everything about him, everything inside and out.

"But I didn't kill Wu Bai, so Mu Siyue's words can't be trusted." Cen Ji explained. "I have never had any contact with her."

"You have lied to me, why should I believe you?" Yan Ying pointed the Qingli in her hand at Cen Ji.

This wasn't the first time he had coaxed her.

"If I lie to you, then I will die a miserable death and suffer from a serious illness." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying earnestly.

Yan Ying felt that Cen Ji's words sounded familiar...

"I have had my reasons for these years."

"But this is also my fault. I made you wait for me for so long..." Every time Cen Ji saw the little ghost sad for him, he felt a hundred times more anxious and heartbroken than her.

"Who's waiting for you!" Yan Ying said angrily.

"You didn't wait for me...then why did you say so many words to the sound stone?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and asked.

"You...you heard everything?"

Cen Ji nodded. He heard every word and listened very carefully.

He has never been willing to take off the sound transmission ring she gave him.
