Looking at the empty space, An Ge was overjoyed. "Is my training over?"
"Squeak!" The doors of the Trial Tower suddenly opened, and An Ge stepped out, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the bright sunlight.
"Little Ge'er!" Before she could even react, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.
An Ge sensed Hu Jiu's tension and patted his back to comfort him, "It's alright, I'm fine, aren't I? I'm a chosen one, this is just a trial."
Hearing that An Ge had the energy to joke, Hu Jiu finally felt relieved.
"Ge'er is indeed amazing. She cleared the Trial Tower in just ten days, and her cultivation is even stronger than before."
An Ge then realized that she was already in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. If it were before, she would have been worried, but now she was at peace and had taken a more relaxed view of cultivation.
"Hehe, I don't need to rely on cultivation to ascend to immortality. My cultivation level is all up to fate."
Looking at An Ge's more peaceful state of mind than before, Hu Jiu smiled and said, "It seems you've gained a lot this time."
An Ge thought of Hu Heng, whom she had met in the training world, and looked at Hu Jiu with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
An Ge then recounted her experiences in the training world, saying, "I never expected to meet someone who looks just like you in that world."
Hu Jiu found it novel after hearing this. People who go to the Training Tower usually focus on combat. This was the first time he had ever heard of someone like An Ge directly entering an illusionary world.
He touched his face and said proudly, "It seems that no matter where I go, I am a rare genius."
"You're so vain!"
"If I could sense your existence in that other world, we would definitely have some interaction."
An Ge shook her head in disagreement, "He's much more aloof than you, he looks like someone you don't want to approach. Besides, he's not you, and I'm just a stranger to him."
Hu Jiu looked at An Ge earnestly, "If that person is truly related to me, then you're more than just a stranger. Anyway, our fate is predetermined. No matter where we go, you're mine, and I'm yours."
An Ge's face flushed red. This Hu Jiu was becoming increasingly reckless with his words. She suddenly remembered the burning sensation on her forehead when she almost lost herself, and stared at Hu Jiu earnestly, asking, "Are you hiding something from me? Otherwise, where did this burning sensation on my forehead come from?"
Hu Jiu turned his head somewhat awkwardly, and under An Ge's questioning, he confessed the truth.
"Fool!" An Ge felt her heart was filled to the brim, and too many words were swirling in her mouth, but she couldn't say them.
Hu Jiu grinned, revealing two rows of teeth. "We nine-tailed foxes are all very devoted in love. Once we've made up our minds, we won't change them, so you can't let me down!"
An Ge rolled her eyes at Hu Jiu, who spoke as if she were a heartless man.
An Ge was in high spirits after resolving her cultivation crisis. With two or three days left before leaving this world, she could finally spend some time sightseeing with Hu Jiu.
After waiting for An Ge and Hu Jiu to finish their heartfelt conversation, the Demon Queen rushed to the Young Master's palace, only to be told by the servants that the Young Master had taken his wife to visit the Heavenly Demon City.
"This brat is much more sensible than his father." Although the Empress was a little disappointed, her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, and she didn't want to be a third wheel.
An Ge walked on the streets of Tianyao City, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Unlike human cities, the demon race's style is closer to nature. Their buildings are diverse but not chaotic; instead, they are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner.
Suddenly, a female demon with a human head and a snake's body emerged gracefully from the teahouse, appearing in front of An Ge in a flash, startling her.
"Oh, what a beauty! She looks like a human, yet not quite. Is this your first time visiting Heavenly Demon City, sir? Otherwise, I would surely remember someone as beautiful as her."
Like many girls, An Ge was somewhat afraid of mollusks. She swallowed hard, trying to remain calm, and said, "No, thank you!"
The snake woman was about to say something when she suddenly saw Hu Jiu beside her and was so frightened that she immediately moved away. "Young Master, how are you! It was my fault for not noticing you. This must be the young mistress. She is so beautiful. I heard that she is also the disciple of True Monarch Lingxiao and the youngest Foundation Establishment disciple. I think she is already in the late Foundation Establishment stage. You have excellent taste, Young Master."
While the snake woman was terrified, she was greatly shocked when she saw An Ge's cultivation level.
She hasn't been to the human realm for only a few hundred years. How could such a terrifying prodigy emerge from the human realm? Who exactly is the demon race?
Hu Jiu had deliberately weakened his presence using magic to make An Ge feel more comfortable while touring the Heavenly Demon City, but he hadn't expected it to frighten her. He was about to get angry, but hearing the praise for An Ge calmed him down considerably.
"Although the demon race does not have a strict rule that you must use human form, do you not know how your race is perceived by humans? There are quite a few humans in the Heavenly Demon City. In order to prevent humans from thinking that the demon race lacks manners, you will have to appear in human form from now on."
The snake woman quickly retracted her snake tail and transformed into a charming, normal woman, saying, "I will obey the young master's command."
An Ge tugged at Hu Jiu's sleeve, signaling him not to hold it against her. She was just caught off guard and startled; it had nothing to do with the snake woman.
Hu Jiu turned to An Ge and whispered, "Are you tired? There's a good restaurant up ahead, shall I take you there?"
An Ge nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, which made Hu Jiu laugh continuously.
The snake woman watched the two figures disappear, wiping away a cold sweat. Compared to being scolded by her young master, a young master in love was far more terrifying.
Although she rarely saw Hu Jiu, she knew that the young master had a bad temper. When she saw the gentle Hu Jiu, she even had the idea that Hu Jiu had been possessed.
Thinking of the young master's attitude towards the young mistress, the snake woman couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Tsk, the young master has really fallen for her. It's true that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
After Hu Jiu dispelled the spell, An Ge felt that she was being stared at by strange eyes.
Although she is now in the late Foundation Establishment stage, in the Heavenly Demon City where Golden Core cultivators are everywhere, her cultivation level is really not enough.
"Are they looking at me?" An Ge finally couldn't help but ask. If she wasn't mistaken, this cat-man seemed to have come to this little shop for the third time.
Hu Jiu glanced around, and the demons who had been pretending to pass by casually scattered.
The young master was furious, and no matter how curious they were, they dared not watch any longer.
"Don't worry about it. The food here is quite good, no worse than the cooking of Chefs Sun and Wei."
An Ge was immediately drawn to the food. She took a bite and nodded excitedly, "It's delicious!"
No wonder Hu Jiu could give pointers on Chef Sun's cooking skills. She originally thought the food at the Demon King's Palace was good enough, but she didn't expect the food here to be even better.
"Young Master, I've finally found you. Do you know where Lu Yan is?"
The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly a hearty voice rang out.
An Ge looked up and saw a woman in a long red dress walk in. The woman had a dignified appearance, delicate features, and a somewhat chivalrous demeanor. An Ge felt a good impression of her just from her appearance.
