Afu dared not look at the Demon Lord's expression, even though the Demon Lord was a very handsome man.
I heard that he used to be a kind person.
Later, for some reason, he became possessed by a demon.
The Demon Lord stood there, motionless for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Afu felt something moving around his waist.
She was terrified. Looking down, she saw something fly out of the storage bag at her waist.
She found this storage bag while searching for the dead on the battlefield.
What flew out of the storage bag was a toy that Ah Ya had given her before.
It was a very small palace model.
Congying felt an intense pain in her eyes and her head was about to explode.
She clutched her head tightly, curled up on the ground, and growled.
Meng Wanwan was startled and quickly asked, "Sister Congying, what's wrong?"
She was using spiritual power, which couldn't help Congying at all.
"Do you want to go back into your original body?" Meng Wanwan whispered.
Congying shook her head vigorously, but more and more things kept popping into her mind.
"Where did this come from?" The Demon Lord's voice was cold, but not unpleasant. He toyed with the small model with his long, slender fingers, seemingly quite interested in it.
Ah Fu said tremblingly, "It was...it was a gift from a friend."
"Oh?" The Demon Lord's voice took a turn, and he kicked in the direction of Aya.
Is it her?
"……yes."
Afu closed his eyes, prepared to die with Aya.
However, the Demon Lord did not kill her. Instead, he chuckled softly and tossed the model to Afu.
"You're quite proactive on the battlefield, not shrinking back just because you're not capable enough. From now on, you'll serve me... Take her with you."
Afu wasn't happy; instead, he shuddered.
"Demon Lord, she is blind and mute."
"It's alright, he's just a gatekeeper. What can you do when there are so few people in the snowy region?"
The Demon Lord seemed different from usual at this moment, which made Afu a little stunned.
The Demon Lord did not punish her for harboring a human cultivator, which made Afu very happy.
Until she saw Aya's injuries.
Almost all of Ah Ya's meridians were severed, and she had no spiritual energy left in her body.
Afu nearly went crazy: "How could this happen? Aya, are you alright? Does it hurt?"
Afu sobbed, helplessly holding Aya in her arms. This was the hardest day for her since meeting Aya.
She even started cursing the demon for taking away her best friend.
At this moment, Aya woke up.
Ah Ya wrote a few words in her palm.
"Don't be afraid, I did it."
Aya's injuries were self-inflicted.
Because she was a human cultivator, although she had lost her power, her foundation remained. Previously, the Demon Lord had suddenly appeared in this courtyard and opened the wall.
Aya couldn't let anyone drag Afu down with her, so she completely destroyed her own foundation. Without someone to repair it, she was just an ordinary useless person.
There are many useless people like her, whether in the demon realm or the human realm.
Knowing what A-Ya had done, A-Fu cried his heart out.
She said, "I was prepared to be killed by the Demon Lord for your sake. Tell me why you did this? How can I repay your kindness after you did this?"
In Afu's world, all kinds of feelings require reciprocation.
Ah Ya shook his head with a smile.
"I don't need anything in return from you, I just want you to be well."
Having lost all foundational cultivation, Aya posed no threat to the demon race. Afu began taking her out to work, while Afu stayed inside to care for the Demon Lord, and Aya sat by the door, listening to the people coming and going.
Afu has gone back to farming, since Aya is very fragile now and could die at any moment.
So Afu decided to make up for Aya's lack of food.
However, the unexpected still came first.
The vegetables that Afu planted were trampled by human cultivators.
When she saw the mess on the ground, her heartache for the vegetables she had grown outweighed her fear of the human cultivators.
Afu admitted that she acted impulsively.
Otherwise, she might not have died.
In his impulsive state, Afu lost consciousness.
Unbeknownst to her, her mute companion sat on the stone steps in front of the Demon Lord's gate, waiting for her day after day.
Until, in those murky eyes, there was not a trace of life left.
Aya knew that her Afu would never come back.
Aya didn't cry, but stood up and groped her way back to the small courtyard where they used to live.
This small courtyard is the most peaceful place she has lived in all these years. It seems that returning here can gradually soothe her wounded heart.
The next day, the human cultivators surrounded the entire snowy region.
Afu didn't know when she regained consciousness, but when she did, she found herself trapped in a cage, watching everything that was happening in the snowy region as if she were watching a shadow play.
She saw A-Ya being dragged out of the courtyard by the Demon Lord's men, still on the battlefield.
The human monks said that Aya was sharp-tongued.
Afu was surprised because Aya hadn't done anything.
Suddenly she's blind and mute, what can she do?
Aya lay motionless on the ground.
Afu was very anxious; she was afraid that Aya would be killed. She worried that if Aya was killed, would she be as lucky as herself and retain some consciousness?
The Demon Lord accepted the challenge.
This time, the Demon Lord seems to be prepared for a desperate battle, but the human cultivators also seem to be well-prepared.
They killed all the Demon Lords except for the Demon Lord himself, surrounded the Demon Lord, and dragged Aya over.
Those people told Aya, "Kill him. If you kill him, we'll give you whatever you want."
Although Aya couldn't see, her cloudy eyes still accurately pointed to the Demon Lord's location.
Ah Fu seemed to see it; the Demon Lord was laughing.
Aya refused and stepped back, but was surrounded by human cultivators.
The first time Afu saw Aya cry, she covered her face with trembling hands and screamed hysterically, as if she had countless grievances and resentments to express.
But she couldn't say it.
Her screams were shrill and unpleasant to hear.
The human cultivators showed disdain.
Someone else said to her, "Are you going to show mercy to a demon? Don't forget the person you want to save."
A-Ya angrily turned to the person who had spoken.
She trembled all over, and the usually gentle woman let out a roar.
Then someone else said, "Stop struggling. If you don't kill him, none of you will escape."
Someone else said, "Aren't there still some demons in the Snow Region? It seems you've developed feelings for these demons. Are you perhaps trying to get us to put pressure on you?"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Aya covered her eyes with trembling hands, tears of blood streaming down her face.
