In the demon world, another battle for supremacy among demon lords came to a quiet end.

“Crash!”

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. Flames in the sky were struggling in the rain, blood was washed away by the rushing rain, and blood was flowing on the earth.

A group of scavengers walked into the pile of corpses and began to search each body for anything useful.

In the demon world, wars are constant and many people are displaced and homeless, which has created many professional scavengers.

Whenever there is a war, they will flock to it after it ends and take away everything useful they see.

A woman with a dirty, pockmarked face followed the crowd as they groped among the corpses.

Because she is a woman, she can only stay away from the main battlefield and look for some useful things in the outermost areas.

As she was groping and searching, she accidentally came to the entrance of a cave.

The entrance to the cave is not big, just enough to accommodate one person.

She looked inside out of curiosity, and saw a blood-stained, gorgeously dressed man leaning against the entrance of the cave.

At first, she thought it was just a person who had died here unfortunately, but when she walked up and put her hand into his arms, she was surprised to find that his arms were warm.

He is still alive…!

However, his injuries seem to be very serious. If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he won't be able to hold on for much longer...

Zou Wan looked at the dying man in front of her, then looked at the pile of weapons and armor that she was fumbling around, her expression conflicted.

It was impossible for her to pull a man and carry so many weapons and armor at the same time...

Looking at the unconscious man, Zou Wan made a secret decision in her heart.

She exchanged all the weapons and armor she had picked up with great difficulty with another scavenger in exchange for a piece of wood.

She put the man on the wooden board and pulled him back home with a rope...

…

After an unknown amount of time, Liao Huami slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked around Xizhou. What he saw was a strange and dilapidated wooden house.

"Are you awake?"

Zou Wan came in with a basin of clean water, and asked with a smile when she saw Liao Huami waking up.

"Who are you?"

"Where is this place?"

"Answer me."

Liao Huami frowned, endured the pain in his body, sat up from the bed, leaned against the wall and asked coldly.

“This is my home.”

"I brought you back."

"You are not out of danger yet, so you'd better not move."

Zou Wan hurriedly walked up to Liao Huami and reached out to support him, but he pushed her hand away.

"Don't touch me, woman!"

"How can you touch me?"

"You are seriously injured now! You must lie down and rest!"

"I still need to apply medicine on you!"

Zou Wan frowned and advised kindly.

However, Liao Huami did not appreciate it.

"I don't need it!"

Liao Huami said coldly, covering his wound. Regardless of his injuries, he forced himself to get off the bed and leaned forward, about to fall headfirst to the ground.

Fortunately, Zou Wan hugged him in time and helped him back to the bed.

"Look, the wound has opened again!"

"I told you not to move!"

As Zou Wan spoke in a reproachful tone, she changed the ointment for him, put on a new bandage, and carefully wiped the wound with clean water.

"Why did you save me?"

Liao Huami lay quietly on the bed, slowly raised his hand, and stared at his arm with dull eyes.

He failed...

Because of his arrogance, all the people who followed him and his tribe died...

And he was basically crippled, with severe internal damage, and he fell several realms in succession.

He has lost the ability to seek revenge on Mozi...

Looking at Liao Huami's face full of despair, Zou Wan continued to help him clean his wounds while gently advising him:

"Do you want to die?"

"I won't allow that, because I saved you!"

"Your life should be mine!"

"My parents died when I was very young, but I have managed to survive on my own until now, haven't I?"

"I don't know what kind of pain you've suffered, but I still hope you can survive..."

Liao Huami was slightly startled and turned his head to look at the gentle yet strong woman beside him.

The first time someone told him they hoped he would survive...

Looking at Zou Wan's rubbing palm, Liao Huami probably guessed how much effort this stupid woman had put into saving him...

“Boring.”

"I didn't ask you to save me."

Liao Huami closed her eyes and no longer resisted Zou Wan bandaging her wounds, but she still spoke coldly and with disdain.

Zou Wan smiled without saying anything, nor was she angry. Instead, she felt very happy.

Because she could feel that Liao Huami at least didn't seem to want to commit suicide.

After cleaning the wound, Zou Wan used the little remaining water to wash the stains on her face and wiped off the pockmarks on her face, revealing a face that was not fair but delicate and attractive.

"You look passable, why do you want to pretend to be ugly?"

Liao Huami turned his head while lying on the bed, quietly opened his eyes, and happened to see Zou Wan's true face after washing with clean water, and asked casually.

"Because if you don't do this, it will be very dangerous..."

Zou Wan smiled helplessly.

As a weak woman with no one to rely on, she could be targeted at any time.

If she was more beautiful, her fate would be even more horrible...

All she could do was to dress as uglily as possible when going out so as to avoid being coveted by others.

Upon hearing this, Liao Huami turned his head away in silence.

Zou Wan didn't care. She packed up the changed bandages and was about to leave when the door was suddenly kicked open with a "bang"!

"You bitch, it's time to pay your protection fee!"

An ugly, bloated man walked into the room and yelled wildly.

When he saw Zou Wan's true face, the man was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly lit up with lust.

"Ouch! It's hidden deep enough!"

"I can't believe she's so pretty~"

"Money, I'll give you all the money, get out of here!"

Zou Wan was shocked. She never expected that this person would suddenly arrive so late.

It just so happened that she had just washed her face!

"Hehehe, you don't have to pay anymore~"

"Just repay it with your body~"

As the man approached Zou Wan, he unbuckled his belt and drooled at the corners of his mouth.

Zou Wan kept backing away, her face pale and filled with fear, her heart shattered.

With her strength, it was impossible for her to resist the man in front of her!

When she retreated to a dead corner, Zou Wan touched the dagger hidden at her waist in despair.

She would rather die than be humiliated!

"Hey hey hey ~ here I come ~"

Just as the man was about to get closer, a hand suddenly grabbed the top of his head from behind!

The man turned around in surprise and met Liao Huami's cold gaze.

"A piece of trash like you is worthy of touching my people?"

After saying that, Liao Huami exerted a little force with his palm, and the man's bloated body instantly rotted at an extremely fast speed!

In a moment, not even bones were left!

Zou Wan sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Liao Huami in disbelief.

She had never expected that the person in front of her would be so powerful...

Liao Huami turned his gaze to Zou Wan, then silently turned back to lie on the bed, with his back to her, he said calmly:

"You don't need to pretend to be ugly anymore."

"I will protect you."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just repaying you for saving my life."

"I don't even look down on women like you."

"Yeah...I know..."

Hearing this, Zou Wan smiled sweetly and nodded slightly with emotion.

In the following years, the two lived in seclusion in the mountains, accompanied each other, and soon welcomed a daughter...
