Ignoring the pain on her face, Xia Wanqing had only one thought in her mind at that moment.
That beast must not be allowed to escape! She must not be allowed to appear before Luo Wuji! She must not be allowed to complain! Otherwise, the reputation I've painstakingly built over the years will be completely ruined!
If I had known that bitch Qiyue would suddenly appear out of nowhere, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and hesitant! Kill her! Kill her! I must kill her!
She frantically chased after the direction Ling Qing'er had fled, her heart filled with hatred for Qi Yue, her beautiful face contorted in rage.
Demons are always sensitive to smells and scents. Even from some distance, Ling Qing'er could still smell the twisted, terrifying, and perverse killing intent permeating the air, and she fled for her life.
Finally, we arrived at Hengyang Sect.
At that moment, she could no longer control herself and screamed, "Luo Wuji! Save me!!!"
The sound penetrated the entire Hengyang Sect.
A familiar voice reached Luo Wuji's ears as he calmly listened to the report, and he tensed up: "Miss Ling is in trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, he darted toward the source of the sound.
There weren't many people at night, but there were still some.
Some people cast questioning glances at Ling Qing'er, and then looked horrified when they saw her pale face, which was covered by messy hair, and the horrific scars on her body.
"Her injuries are terrifying!"
"You beast! Where do you think you're going!" Xia Wanqing, who had chased after him like a mad dog, looked at Ling Qing'er, who was lying on the ground, and tried hard to suppress her excitement.
Heaven is on her side; thankfully, that beast hasn't met Luo Wuji yet...
Looking at the people around her, Xia Wanqing's face remained as gentle as ever.
"Don't be fooled by this beast! This beast is a heinous snake demon who deserves to die! I previously killed its companion who was causing trouble with me, and this snake demon, in order to take revenge on me, actually dared to steal my sect's most precious treasure!"
Xia Wanqing, with a righteous expression, used words to sway the disciples around her.
Ling Qing'er never expected Xia Wanqing to be able to twist the truth like this. Trembling, she pointed at her and spat out a mouthful of blood: "You're spouting lies!"
"Oh."
Xia Wanqing's lips curled into a barely perceptible cold smile, which quickly disappeared, leaving her with a serious and heartbroken expression.
"Are you implying that I, the daughter of the dignified sect leader of Hengyang Sect, am slandering a bloodthirsty monster like you? What benefit could I possibly gain? Justice will prevail! I will not argue with you!"
The gentle and elegant senior sister and the hideous monster—everyone stared at Ling Qing'er with disgust.
"Being ugly is one thing, but daring to slander Senior Sister Xia even when facing death is another! Kill this beast!"
"This fiend definitely possesses a magical artifact to conceal her aura! Who knows how many people have died at her hands because they couldn't discern her true identity! Hand over the artifact!"
"How dare she tarnish the reputation of Hengyang! Kill her! Kill her!"
'You beast, do you see that? Nobody will believe you. You think that bitch can save you? Heh heh heh~'
A crazed taunt reached her ears, and Ling Qing'er looked at Xia Wanqing, who was looking at her with a mocking and disdainful expression.
Looking at the accusations around her and the disgusting faces of those who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and clamored to kill her, she closed her eyes in pain.
Is this what human nature is like?
"Wuji, you've come."
"Hmm, what happened?"
The familiar voice reached her ears, and Ling Qing'er felt a surge of joy. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar, tall, handsome figure. She was about to speak.
Xia Wanqing was faster than her.
Xia Wanqing's expression changed drastically. She looked at Luo Wuji with teary eyes, dropped her sword, and threw herself into Luo Wuji's arms as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She began to sob softly.
Someone immediately tried to speak up for Xia Wanqing: "Holy Son,..."
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Don't worry about me, I'll handle it myself. You can go now."
Xia Wanqing looked pitifully and pleadingly at the disciples watching. Who would have the nerve to stay any longer? They quickly left.
For a moment, only Xia Wanqing, Luo Wuji, and Ling Qing'er remained.
Xia Wanqing's words were ambiguous, leaving Ling Qing'er feeling like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. She looked at Luo Wuji through her disheveled hair.
Didn't he recognize her?
"Who are you?" Luo Wuji felt a strange sense of familiarity with the person in front of him, but he quickly dismissed it. How could he know such a dirty and ordinary woman?
He wasn't sure if it was some female cultivator trying to curry favor with him. He'd seen far too many women like that who lacked self-awareness. It was just a pity that he only had Qing'er in his heart. The misunderstanding from before had been resolved.
The most urgent task now is to find Miss Ling, who is the daughter of the Demon King. If we can win over the demon race, it will be a great help to the Holy Sect.
Making no attempt to hide his disdain and disgust, Luo Wuji coldly said, "Who gave you the audacity to look directly at this Holy Son!"
Ling Qing'er's eyes widened, and her already pale face turned even whiter.
His fist was clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.
Xia Wanqing was overjoyed. It was truly a stroke of luck that Luo Wuji hadn't recognized this beast.
Judging from that beast's appearance, he seemed utterly disappointed in Luo Wuji. Since that was the case, why didn't she first act like a good person and then find an opportunity to take that beast's worthless life? In this way, she could also establish a beautiful and tolerant image for herself in front of Luo Wuji.
"Wuji, this is Miss Ling~ Don't you recognize her?" Xia Wanqing asked, looking at Luo Wuji with confusion.
Luo Wuji was stunned, then his face turned pale. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Xia Wanqing's hand and looked directly at her, raising his voice, "What did you say?! This is Miss Ling?! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
