Upon hearing their discussion, Bei Mingyaowei looked at Nangong Ziyan with a gloomy face. A young girl who had just entered the world of business! She could defeat his plan with just a few words.
“Nangong Ziyan, Bei Ming Haotian is clearly a devil. If he stays in this world, he will only harm humanity. You have used the devil to plot against us, so you deserve to be killed.”
Bei Mingyaowei managed to turn the tide, hoping there would be a chance for things to turn around.
"Everyone, regarding what Haotian did to harm you tonight, Ziyan apologizes to everyone. As for whether Haotian is a demon, you have all seen it. To avoid harming himself, every full moon night, he locks himself in a dungeon and binds himself with black iron. Today's events had a reason. You must have all heard about Ziyan being kidnapped yesterday! Haotian didn't return to the Netherworld Continent because he was afraid something would happen to Yan'er. How could such a man of deep affection and righteousness be a demon? The Netherworld Continent never offends any continent. If Haotian were truly a demon, he would have already massacred the four continents. Why would he bear the title of a demon and live such a submissive life?"
Nangong Ziyan burst into tears. She wasn't trying to gain sympathy from the people in front of her, but rather she felt sorry for Beiming Haotian. Every time he heard those rumors about him being a demon, he must have felt extremely distressed!
"Let's go! Let's go back to sleep. The situation is clear now, and dragging it out will only hurt everyone's harmony," someone in the crowd said.
"Yes, yes, the death of the Lord of Beiming City has always been a mystery. It's not too late to talk about it after we find out the truth..." Some people were discussing among the slowly retreating crowd.
In such a time and space where everyone is in danger, many people are struggling to survive. As long as it doesn't concern their own lives, they won't care much. Nangong Ziyan was able to persuade them with just a few words because she saw through their hearts. Another point is that the Netherworld Continent has a great reputation, which is also why many people dare not offend it.
"Sigh! You all..." Bei Mingyaowei watched as people turned and left one by one, and he began to feel anxious.
Nangong Ziyan looked at Beiming Yaowei with a cold smile; the matter was definitely related to him.
“Bei Ming Yaowei, it takes two to tango. How you treated Haotian today, I, Nangong Ziyan, will repay you in the future.”
Her voice was light and pleasant, yet it contained immense power and determination. Nangong Ziyan seemed like a completely different person at this moment, her eyes radiating wisdom.
Bei Mingyao was so angry that he stood eight feet tall, glaring fiercely at Nangong Ziyan.
"Very well! I'll be waiting for you. If you've got the guts, then come to the Northern Underworld City Lord's Mansion!"
Enraged, Bei Mingyao raised his arms and shouted, then turned and left.
Looking at Bei Mingyaowei's back, Nangong Ziyan saw that this selfish person only cared about himself and put his own interests first in everything. What he did and insisted on was all for his own benefit. As for other people and things, he didn't care at all. Such a stingy person would definitely not have a good ending.
Looking at Nangong Ziyan, covered in blood and grime, Dongfang Yifei realized that she was more beautiful than ever. It turned out that her beauty was only for Beiming Haotian.
"Haotian, let's go back, okay? You must not have eaten properly while looking for Yan'er! Yan'er will take you back and cook you something delicious, okay!"
Nangong Ziyan said softly, enduring the pain in her body, trying to let the pain consume her so as not to faint.
Bei Ming Haotian nodded blankly, "Yan...er...eat..." It took Bei Ming Haotian a lot of effort to say those three words. In fact, Bei Ming Haotian was worried that Nangong Ziyan was hungry. He was aware of this, but he couldn't express it.
Nangong Ziyan smiled brightly, and the two of them held hands and slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The moonlight cast long shadows of the two, a sight that was both heartbreaking and incredibly blissful.
"He, he is really terrifying."
Baili Yuechan watched the receding figure and said in a trembling voice, but she was still reluctant to leave. How she wished that she was the one standing next to him.
"He's so terrifying, yet you still can't give up on him, can you? Didn't I tell you not to touch Yan'er? But you actually tried to outsmart me. It seems I'll have to punish you properly tonight."
Driven by jealousy and anger, Dongfang Yifei's eyes radiated a perverse aura as he pulled Baili Yuechan tightly into his arms.
Baili Yuechan trembled violently. For someone as enigmatic as Dongfang Yifei, he wouldn't easily reveal his thoughts or what he was thinking. His casual words might be his intended meaning, but they were often unfathomable. She was destined to bear the debt owed to Nangong Ziyan. The better Beiming Haotian treated Nangong Ziyan, the more twisted he would become towards her. She had initially thought the rumor was false—wasn't Beiming Haotian indiscriminate in his killing spree when his demonic nature flared? But today, she witnessed firsthand that Nangong Ziyan could truly suppress the demonic nature within Beiming Haotian. It seemed even the heavens were against her.
The night was still long. Nangong Ziyan walked down the street with Beiming Haotian in her hand. People who saw them were frightened and ran away. Nangong Ziyan knew that no one would come to her aid at this time.
Her chest was churning, and the metallic taste of blood in her throat made her feel nauseous.
"Pfft!" Unable to hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth. Haotian's jerking had almost cost her her life, but she would hold on until dawn.
"Hmm...!" Seeing Nangong Zi vomit blood, Bei Ming Haotian stared blankly at the corner of Nangong Zi's lips and let out a painful "hmm," it was unclear whether he was worried about Nangong Zi or excited because he saw blood.
