"No, no! Why can Hu Heli go with you, but I can't?"
I'm not a perverted cat, and I don't want to stay in this compound! No, no!
The girl with silver cat ears clung tightly to the man, her soft body pressed against his back as she cried out.
The brown fox girl standing to the side sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
"I already told you, you stay here and adjust the housekeeping according to my plan. Haven't I been working myself to the bone these past few days just to help you stand up for yourself in front of your sister?"
The man in black said weakly, having said all he could do.
"Really? What if it doesn't work?"
"It won't work, do with it as you please!"
Okay, that's settled then.
The silver-eared catwoman said happily, finally letting go of the man. The two were Yan Quan, who had been handling internal affairs day and night, and Hua Keshu, the cat clan demon emperor candidate who often bothered him.
"Remember, keep a close eye on Hua Wuyun. If she asks you about my identity again, just repeat what I told you."
"Speaking with authority and wielding a sword," Yan Quan said, his starry eyes shining as he looked at Hua Keshu before him.
"Okay, okay, make sure you're back on time in three days, or else... Hey, I haven't finished yet!"
As Hua Keshu spoke, Yan Quan disappeared from sight. Even Hu Heli was stunned for a moment before she reacted and followed him.
...
Deep within an inn for high-level cultivators in Shuitian City.
"Boss, we've been waiting for two days already. What are we going to do if they don't come soon?"
"No need, they should be here soon."
Yan Quan put down his teacup and stretched.
Actually, he said he needed three days simply to give himself a proper rest.
"Brother Yan! I've finally found you! You have no idea how hard I've been on this journey!"
As the wooden door was pushed open, a disheveled human man walked in. His clothes were tattered, and he staggered to Yan Quan's table, where he collapsed helplessly.
"Deng Yuan... what happened to you? Didn't I tell you to rely on the help of the extraterritorial alliance here?"
Yan Quan frowned and said, "This guy seems to have suffered some unimaginable setbacks."
"The extraterritorial alliance here has lost contact, and then I'm being hunted down by all sorts of people."
I came all by myself, trekking through mountains and rivers all by myself. You have no idea how hard it was for me, ahhh…”
Deng Yuan said, tears streaming down his face.
"Ahem, alright, alright, take the token and go pack up."
Yan Quan smiled wryly and gave Deng Yuan a jade pendant.
"Thank you, Brother Yan! ...What, what is this?!"
Deng Yuan expressed his gratitude and got up to tidy up, but then noticed Hu Heli holding a long knife and was startled again.
Although he liked this kind of thing in his previous life, his beautiful dreams were shattered after he came here and witnessed the ferocity of the demon race.
"Don't worry, she works for me."
By the way, why did you come alone? Are the others not planning to come?
Were the same people who attacked you last time?
"Phew, I overreacted."
Most of us who planned to leave like me were attacked on the way, either dying or getting separated. I'm probably the only one who made it this far.
Brother Yan, if we can find the culprit, I'll do whatever you ask!
After letting out a sigh of relief, Deng Yuan said resolutely.
"Alright, let's go downstairs and tidy up first."
Yan Quan waved his hand and said that the person he was mainly waiting for was not Deng Yuan at all.
He was primarily a divine healer among the merfolk.
Whether the problem stems from the Forget-Dust Technique or from the Rebirth Dao Root, it will be resolved sooner or later.
"Knock knock..."
Just as Deng Yuan was about to leave, the door was suddenly opened again. Deng Yuan had no time to dodge and fell straight backward.
"Huh? Who are you, Yan Quan... you don't seem that ugly, do you?"
With her long ears standing on end, a mermaid beauty with gray hair and wet feet, who looked as if she had just transformed, appeared before everyone.
The beauty stared at Deng Yuan with curious eyes, then pouted, looking disappointed.
"Sigh, Xiao Le, it seems like it's not a matter of speaking out."
"How is that possible? I can definitely smell him! That bastard... isn't he right here?!"
I was so worried about you, Princess! I knew you'd come out pretty early!
The colorful-haired dragon girl appeared behind the mermaid beauty, looking straight ahead, her beautiful face displaying a complex expression.
"Oh, right, I didn't even look ahead."
"Yes, Xiao Le is definitely smarter."
The mermaid beauty touched her forehead with her delicate white hand and said blankly.
"Hmph, of course. I knew he would come to the demon realm, and as long as he was injured, he would definitely come to you, you silly girl, and ask you to treat him for free."
Hmph hmph hmph…
Under the adoring gaze of the mermaid beauty, the colorful-haired dragon girl became even more smug, and she laughed triumphantly, supporting her waist.
"..."
The small cup that Yan Quan had brought to his mouth froze, and the tea on it flowed straight from his mouth onto his clothes.
