Liuli and Shichan were talking, their voices low, but everyone present was a cultivator with excellent hearing. The group of demons overheard their conversation, and then, glancing at the silent Li Molin, they exchanged helpless glances.
Over the past decade, everyone in the demon realm knew how much their young master doted on the girl named Liuli. Throughout these years, Li Molin granted Liuli's every wish without question. If Liuli made a mistake, Li Molin would protect her without regard for the consequences, even taking full responsibility for her wrongdoing. Anyone who offended Liuli, whether from the righteous path or the demon realm, would suffer a terrible fate. Therefore, the demons all respected Liuli's lawlessness, and no one dared to provoke her.
Judging from the current situation, if Liuli protects that monk, then no one will dare to touch him, not even if Li Molin gives the order. Otherwise, if Liuli seeks revenge later, wouldn't they be the ones who suffer?
The expert at the Demon Heart Realm secretly glanced at Li Molin's cold and stern face, finally understanding why Li Molin was so angry. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Judging from the current situation, the monk couldn't be killed. The fault originally belonged to Liuli, but inevitably all the blame would be placed on him.
"Don't worry about it, little monk." Liuli lowered her voice even further, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and said, "They won't dare to do anything to me, you can just leave."
Shi Chan looked down at Liu Li's small face, and a sense of bewilderment suddenly arose in his heart. It was as if time had returned to that dense forest many years ago, when he first met her, and she looked just like this now—her eyes were bright and spirited, her deep black pupils like two clear and flawless gems, and the smile that unconsciously curled at the corners of her lips was just like it was ten years ago, containing a hint of cunning and mischief.
Ten years had left no trace on her face or in her heart; she remained the same innocent and lovely girl she had been years before. Shi Chan couldn't help but think to herself, hoping that in the years to come, her heart would remain untouched by any worldly dust.
Seeing that Shi Chan was standing there hesitantly, Liu Li anxiously nudged his arm and said urgently, "Little monk, don't worry about it, run! Hurry!"
Shi Chan came to his senses, but still hesitated.
In a panic, Liuli went behind Shichan and pushed him forward, saying urgently, "Alright, little monk, you should go now... go now..."
“This…” Shi Chan was pushed forward two steps by Liu Li. After his hesitation subsided, he nodded and said, “Alright, then please be careful, young lady.”
Seeing that Liuli and Shichan had reached this point in their conversation, Li Molin turned to look at Yu Ke and subtly gave him a wink.
Yu Ke nodded in understanding.
At this moment, Shi Chan transformed into a golden light and instantly flew into the sky. All the demons watched in disbelief, and not one of them dared to stop him.
Li Molin beckoned to Liuli and called out, "Liuli, come here."
"Oh." Liuli looked up and watched Shi Chan fly away. She knew that she had made a mistake by letting Shi Chan go, so she responded obediently and ran to Li Molin.
She put her hands behind her back, looked up and carefully observed Li Molin's expression. Seeing that Li Molin showed no signs of anger, she felt relieved.
Li Molin seemed as if nothing had happened. He turned around and said calmly, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the mine. Haven't you been clamoring to see how black iron is mined?"
"Okay, let's go." Liuli responded, turning to look up at the sky. She could still see the golden light of Shichan's incarnation, but it had already flown far away. Relieved, she turned and followed Li Molin.
After Li Molin and Liuli had gone far away, Yu Ke called out and led more than thirty people to hurriedly fly into the sky, chasing after the golden light that Shi Chan had transformed into.
--
Two hours later, at noon.
Liuli stayed in the mine for a while, disliking the darkness and the pungent smell of iron, and had already come out. She and Li Molin were now sitting cross-legged on the ground, with Ahua curled up on Liuli's lap. The rest of the people, including Ji Jue and Lang Yuan, had gone inside to mine the black iron.
Between Liuli and Li Molin lay a pile of black iron stones and over twenty storage rings on the ground. These storage rings, made by the demon race, were extremely crude. They were imitations created by the demons after carefully studying the storage treasures of the Daoists. The storage space of these rings was very small, only a square space about two zhang in length and width, which was incomparable to the storage treasures of the Daoists.
The others were responsible for the arduous task of mining, while Liuli and Li Molin had it easier. They simply had to sort the black iron they mined according to its composition and material and store it in their storage rings.
Although the work was easy, Liuli soon got bored. She listlessly rummaged through a pile of black iron on the ground, muttering under her breath, "So boring, Li Molin, I don't want to stay here anymore! I didn't know mining black iron was so boring. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
As Li Molin picked up a piece of black iron the size of an infant's head and examined it carefully, he glanced at her and said with a teasing smile, "You insisted on coming, so I told you this place wasn't fun, but you didn't believe me."
Liuli frowned, picked up a fist-sized piece of black iron and threw it at Li Molin, shouting, "You're lying! What did you say? You never said this place wasn't fun!"
Li Molin dodged the stone thrown by Liuli by tilting his head. He looked up at Liuli and said unhappily, "You unreasonable girl, I clearly said it, and more than once, but you just didn't listen."
Liuli was about to continue refuting him, continuing until he gave in, but then she thought that if she hadn't kept pestering Li Molin to come and see the Xuan Tie Mine after hearing about it, and hadn't happened to witness Shi Chan's peril, Shi Chan would probably be in grave danger. Thinking this, Liuli couldn't help but smile again, and said with a grin, "Alright, you did say that, but I just didn't hear it."
Li Molin was stunned for a moment, and he said in surprise, "How can you change your expression so quickly, girl?"
Just as Liuli was about to speak, she heard a series of whooshing sounds. She turned her head in confusion and saw that Yu Ke had landed on the ground with more than twenty people.
Li Molin turned to look at Yu Ke, and saw that Yu Ke and the other twenty-odd people were all injured and looked rather disheveled.
After regaining her footing, Yu Ke's face turned grim, and she gently shook her head at Li Molin.
