In front of him, there was a face that was extremely miserable, with one corner of the eye swollen and the face black and purple. The skin and flesh were torn apart, which was indeed a bit scary, but Xia Xiao focused his eyes on the pair of clear and bright eyes, and it was not a ghost at first glance. Moreover, he remembered that this little girl was exactly the Hei Huang from his childhood!

Although he had only seen Hei Huang's face once, Xia Xiao remembered that face. Such a high-class face and long hair could not be changed by age. At this time, the teenage girl had grown into a graceful and beautiful woman. After Xia Xiao tore off her funny human skin mask and threw it away, her little face with red lips and white teeth was a little shocked, but she still made claws with her hands to try to scare Xia Xiao.

Hearing her sharp cry, Xia Xiao's face turned grim, no longer panicking, he just cursed angrily:

"Is it fun? Do you think it's fun to rescue me and then nearly scare me to death?"

When the girl heard this, she put her hands on her hips and asked Xia Xiao:

"Do you know who I am?"

"You're so old, but you're still pretending to be a loli? Are you sick? What's your quirk?"

Xia Xiao stood up, stretched out his neck and started cursing, causing the girl to stamp her feet angrily and raise her fist to hit him, but then she pulled it back.

"Humph, if I don't argue with you, someone will always teach you a lesson."

The girl ran to the blood pool and pulled up the chubby little girl, like a caring sister. Such an existence was out of tune with the surrounding environment. Xia Xiao also found that the pattern and style of the clothes worn by the teenage girl and the 44-year-old girl were the same, but the size was different.

The girl ran a few steps to the side, raised her white chin, and said to the person on her back:

"Hey! He's awake, come and take care of him!"

Xia Xiao was confused, but in a very bad mood. When he looked up, he saw a black dress falling down, followed by a tall woman standing in front of him.

Black Huang?

If she is Heihuang, who are those two girls? Xia Xiao wanted to ask, but Heihuang spoke first:

"I saved you anyway, and this is how you repay me?"

"Who are they?"

"Four-year-old me and thirteen-year-old me."

Xia Xiao casually patted his ragged clothes and raised his eyebrows. What does this mean? Seeing his ignorant look, Hei Huang laughed at him:

"With just this little knowledge, you still want to catch us all in one fell swoop?"

"You know all this?"

Without the panic he had before, Xia Xiao was Xia Xiao again. Even though he had made a fool of himself before, he was still calm and composed. This was the most powerful thing about him. Whether it was observing or thinking, his speed was extremely fast.

"Is it so hard to see through your thoughts? Do you think that no one has tried to rush into this space like you have in tens of thousands of years? But they all died here or became part of this place. Qing Xunzi was smart and knew that it would be dangerous for you to come in, so he changed his mind temporarily and wanted to take you away. After all, people like you can't stay the same even if they can get out. But he miscalculated. He can't get into this space at all. This is the kingdom of the devil. The devil energy in the body is the pass. Apart from that, no matter how powerful the existence is, it will be rejected."

Hei Huang had a mysterious smile on his face, and Xia Xiao's heart sank when he saw it. The fact that his master wanted to take him away was enough to explain something, and this trip was doomed to be dangerous. Masters always gamble, so Xia Xiao's chance of success is very small, but since he was here, even if he couldn't make his master kill all these demons, he had to get as much information as possible while saving his life.

"Have you been here all this time?"

Xia Xiao changed the subject, while Heihuang leaned back in the bone chair. Her demeanor and movements were all like those of a queen, but she talked more than usual.

"What else?"

"Why did you not show up when I kept calling you? You should have heard me, right?"

"Of course I heard it. I was there from the beginning to the end. When the first call was made, you should have just been taken to the Cloud Country. They were so aggressive that you must have been scared, right?"

"That's not the point. The point is why you didn't come. I almost died."

"Isn't this not dead?"

Hei Huang waved his hand, and a bone chair different from the one behind her immediately appeared behind Xia Xiao. Although such a chair looked disgusting, and even had a few strands of raw meat hanging on it, it was creepy and scary. But Xia Xiao still sat down. He was covered in wounds and couldn't stand.

"If I die, all the efforts you put in recently will be wasted, so can you show up in time next time? You said you wanted to be my companions, but you didn't show up at the critical moment."

"What companion?"

Hei Huang sneered and said:

"We are just using each other. We won you over and protected you just to prevent Yu Shangyan from absorbing your energy and working against us. As long as you die or continue to improve your strength, she will suck you dry in one gulp. And even if I really regard you as a companion, will you let go of Shu Shuang's matter and not kill me?"

"Of course not. I will kill you sooner or later."

Heihuang snorted softly.

"If that's the case, why take it so seriously? It's good enough if you can save your life. Also, don't always talk to me in a blaming tone, and don't give me orders, otherwise I will make you unforgettable the pain of the demonic energy eroding your body for the rest of your life."

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Xia Xiao looked at Hei Huang, but she remained silent, turning her cold and arrogant face towards her four-year-old and thirteen-year-old selves. Hei Huang couldn't say anything about some things, because she knew Xia Xiao was an enemy after all, so she just watched the four-year-old and thirteen-year-old playing on the side. The older Hei Huang was very caring, which made the four-year-old very happy, and her fair little face was always smiling.

Although in Xia Xiao's eyes, the four-year-old is innocent and the thirteen-year-old has the gentleness and temperament of a woman, it always feels a bit strange. Such a fair and tender perfect girl, the greater the contrast with the surroundings, the more people dare not approach her.

"Four years old, do you know what a sweet smile is?"

"Is it rolling sugar all over your face?"

"Yeah... almost. Four year old is really smart."

"Hey, sister, can you give me some candy?"

"I don't have any candy. You have to ask that sister for it."

The thirteen-year-old pointed at Hei Huang, causing the four-year-old to run over and suddenly fall to the ground halfway, causing Xia Xiao to subconsciously help him. But the thirteen-year-old just squatted beside her gently and said to the four-year-old who was about to cry:

"It's okay, just stand up."

The four-year-old nodded, stood up with her chubby little hands, patted her black skirt and came in front of Heihuang.

"Sister, I want to eat candy."

Hei Huang took one out from somewhere and placed it in her chubby little hand. Just as Si Sui was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and spread out his other hand.

"Sister wants one too."

"What if I don't give it to my sister?"

The four-year-old looked at Heihuang, then looked at the thirteen-year-old behind him, and stood on tiptoes to feed her candy.

"Sister, I'll give it to you. I'll eat it next time."

"Thank you, Four Years Old. I'll eat it then."

"Yeah, give it to your sister. If you eat it when you are four years old, your teeth will be damaged. After your teeth are damaged, you can't eat candy."

"It's okay, you can eat one now, your teeth won't get damaged."

Heihuang fed her. The four-year-old jumped up and down after tasting the candy. He said thank you to Heihuang, then ran to the side holding the thirteen-year-old's hand, looking so happy as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.

"Thanks."

The four-year-old turned around and bowed again. The thirteen-year-old followed her gaze to Hei Huang and said gently:

"You said so much today. I'm so happy for you."

Xia Xiao looked at Hei Huang with some suspicion, and asked:

"Are you sure this was when you were a kid?"

Heihuang looked at him, as if asking what was wrong.

"That's totally different from who you are now."

“Growing up is a process of losing happiness and getting used to sadness.”

Xia Xiao exclaimed, as if what she said made sense.

Perhaps the thirteen-year-old's words irritated Hei Huang, making her feel that she had lost her composure, so she was silent for a long time before she spoke:

"I've saved you, and my teasing is over. I'll take you to recover."

“I thought this would be my new home.”

“We have no home.”

Hei Huang said as he walked beside Xia Xiao. His walking posture was really ugly at this time, dragging one leg and unable to straighten his waist. But she did not help him, just kept a constant speed with him.

The two of them walked towards the slide made of beasts, seemingly heading deeper into the blood mist. Gradually, a cry broke the quiet atmosphere between Xia Xiao and Hei Huang. The latter was used to it and was not surprised, and did not even look. However, Xia Xiao looked in the direction of the sound, and after searching for a long time, he saw a young woman crying while holding a corpse doll in the corner of a small house made of skeletons.

It was the scariest doll Xia Xiao had ever seen. It seemed to be made of human skin and was shaped like a penguin. He really didn't understand why she was holding such a thing. But the woman held it tightly, buried her face in it, and gradually squeezed it into a gourd that was big at the top and bottom but thin in the middle. Her slender legs wrapped around it, causing Xia Xiao to glance over and ask:

"How old were you when this happened?"

"Twenty."

"You are at least several hundred years old, but these three years are the only ones worth remembering?"

Hei Huang wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Thirteen was happy for her, but that sentence became her self-reminder. Even though she was lonely, she didn't want to talk nonsense with Xia Xiao.

"If you don't want to die, leave now."

Xia Xiao felt that Hei Huang had a strange temper. She seemed cold and arrogant, refusing to get close to anyone, but she was extremely lonely and even wanted to play tricks on herself. What on earth had she experienced? Why was there only a four-year-old, a thirteen-year-old, and a twenty-year-old in this space? This was definitely not a coincidence, but Xia Xiao could not see through it, so he just walked away from her. When he looked back, the three people in the thick fog had already disappeared without a trace. Xia Xiao became like Ah Zhu, and asked curiously:

"What about them?"

"I will appear when I come back."

After experiencing life and death, Xia Xiao was frightened again, and then he met strange people and experienced strange things. He gradually became tired and didn't want to care about anything anymore. He couldn't open his mouth and didn't want to say anything.

Under the leadership of Heihuang, there were no reference objects around, only thicker blood mist. The blurry huge figure in it was unknown what kind of dead wild beast it was.

Xia Xiao didn't know where to go. He could only hear the crying of a twenty-year-old. The voice, which was not so scary at first, was like a spell that looped in his mind, making him fall into deep sorrow. It seemed that her happiness was also lost as she grew up. Slowly, Xia Xiao only remembered that he saw a door, and nothing else.

It seemed like someone was walking by, but it also seemed like there was no one. Xia Xiaoru was sleeping in a nightmare, but Heihuang did glance at him a few times, but his expression was solemn and no one knew what he was thinking.
