"Two thousand five hundred miles..."

"Call me Your Majesty."

Chen Liao, the leader of the Yellow River monks, looked helplessly at You Jian, who was walking with a hunched back in front of him, and asked directly without getting entangled in the name: "Sir, are you not going to catch Qiao Muyi?"

You Jian, who was walking with his hands in his pockets, did not change his expression when he heard this. He asked calmly, "Why do you say that?"

"If you had used all your strength, sir, they would not have been able to escape. Two thousand five hundred miles is second only to three thousand miles. If you had not held back on purpose, how could you have allowed a mere demon king to escape safely?"

Chen Liao's words made You Jian feel very comfortable. You Jian dug his ears and pulled out a large lump of dirt, which he flicked away and said, "Qiao Muyi is not on the run, she is still planning something."

"Hasn't she been planning to cause chaos in the world these days?" Chen Liao asked, "A source of chaos appeared in Fanying, and a source of chaos appeared in Lianjiang and Shenyuan respectively. And they are all horrible sources of chaos comparable to super natural disasters. She is desperate and wants to take revenge on society."

You Jian turned his head and glanced at him, "Is that what you think?"

Chen Liao was silent for a moment, then said, "This is the best explanation. Moreover, according to the intelligence analysis provided by the Watcher, the Demon King relies on harvesting the resentment of the victims to enhance his own terrifying existence. Now that she is forced to flee, it is reasonable for her to send the source of chaos to create disasters and harvest resentment."

"Do you think... sir, that the Watcher gave false information?"

"I don't think the Watchers are giving false information." You Jian said, "Now the world has come to a consensus that Qiao Muyi is a super criminal, but her crimes are not made public. This means that everyone has recognized the existence of the Demon King, 'harvesting hatred to strengthen himself'... Even Xiao Chuanzi has recognized this conclusion, so I will naturally not dwell on it."

Xiao Chuanzi...Mr. Sanqianlichuan's fan Chen Liao had a dark face.

"However," You Jian suddenly changed the subject: "Have you noticed that after Qiao Muyi fled, all the major sources of chaos that followed were resolved by people from the Fairy Palace or the World Tree?"

"Thanks to their efforts, otherwise Lianjiang and Shenyuan would have been in trouble." Chen Liao sighed sincerely and suddenly reacted.

"Sir, you mean Qiao Muyi, the Fairy Palace, and the World Tree..."

"I don't know." You Jian glanced at the river beach below the hillside. A group of people were holding tactical flashlights to search both sides of the river beach and the riverbed. However, it was the middle of the night, so their search efficiency was naturally very low.

"But those high-ranking immortal magicians are willing to give her a chance, and I will not be stingy with a little help. They have obtained the favor of the time and the advantage of the place, so I will give them some human support."

You Jian raised his head and looked at the steep cliff. "Moreover, she broke through the deadly siege formed by the world's elite extraordinary people, resisted the full-strength attack of six fourth-level monks, jumped down from a mountain several hundred meters high, and was able to continue to escape safely..."

You Jian suddenly laughed: "If this is a legendary story with Qiao Muyi as the protagonist, you and I will definitely be the villains who will be severely slapped in the face, right?"

Chen Liao and other Yellow River monks all looked annoyed - you said you could just let it go, but why did you drag us into this?

After laughing, You Jian was the first to slide down the hillside, followed closely by the Yellow River monks.

When they landed on the riverbank, they heard You Jian in front of them suddenly say, "What if she was really wronged?"

Chen Liao raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "We have to catch her first, then investigate slowly, and then we will naturally get to the bottom of it..."

“You sound nice,” You Jian kicked the pebbles on the ground, his voice like soft smoke: “Everyone has made a presumption of guilt for her, and she must have some unexplainable stains... This feeling of being hated by the whole world and not being able to even defend myself, I…”

Chen Liao suddenly spoke in a heavy tone, and whispered: "Two thousand five hundred miles!"

You Jian was stunned for a moment, then suppressed the sadness on his face, nodded, and said, "I understand. I will show mercy only this time, as a token of my respect for the Asgard and the World Tree. Next time we meet, I will not hold back."

"Brother You!"

At the riverbank, five rank 4 warriors gathered together. Bright called You Jian over and said, "We are discussing how to hunt down the demon king. Brother You, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty."

Bright handed the tablet to You Jian: "Brother You, we plan to search along the downstream, focusing on Songwei Mountain in the west, Yamagakibi Mountain in the south, and Dali Mountain in the east. What do you think?"

You Jian glanced at the tablet map and shrugged: "That's it."

Kader, who was carrying his cello case, asked, “What about the north?”

Without waiting for Bright to answer, Sakura Kyoko said, "The north is the upper reaches of the river. It's unlikely that they will go upstream."

Bright nodded and added, "There are many scenic spots in the north, and tourist areas have been developed. They definitely don't want to show up in front of people now. They probably won't go to places in the north where there are tourists."

Kader stared at Bright and said, "What if they choose to go upstream and get into the crowd?"

Bright's smile did not change because of Cardel's argument. Instead, he nodded seriously: "You are right... But we are very short of manpower now. Then we can send a few teams to the northern mountains and ask the Metropolitan Police Department to send people to guard the tourist area and post flyers to let the tourists in the north pay attention to the whereabouts of the Demon King... Do you think this arrangement is okay, Cardel?"

Kader looked at Bright seriously for a few times, then nodded slowly: "Then I have no objection."

Bright clapped his hands and encouraged loudly: "Don't be discouraged, the Demon King's escape this time was just a fluke. She will never escape the Missile Mountains. Now all surrounding traffic has been blocked to her. She is already a caged beast. We just need to slowly surround her and we can catch this beast that is wreaking havoc on the world!"

You Jian suddenly said, "Isn't she a suspect? Now the Watcher has confirmed that she is the Demon King?"

The other four fourth-rank monks looked at You Jian with strange eyes. Only You Jian and Kader were looking at Bright. Bright blinked and spread his hands and said, "You also saw that she and her accomplices were able to escape our capture amidst the encirclement of more than a hundred extraordinary people..."

"If we still plan to arrest her now, it seems inappropriate." Brett's face was heavy, and he seemed quite regretful. He sighed and said, "She made a choice and had to go down the wrong path."

"I have no right to ask about your plans. But I, Bright, hereby order that from this moment on, all Watchers must make killing the Demon King their first goal!"

Bright placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and spoke word by word: "Even if I meet the Demon King alone, even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will enforce justice and kill the Demon King who is wreaking havoc on the world!"

…

…

"Well, there is a cave over there..."

Qiao Muyi supported Ren Suo and walked over. Sure enough, they found a large cave covered by vines in the mountain wall. It was very hidden and there was a bend in the cave, making it difficult for dust and rain to fall into the cave.

It didn't take Qiao Muyi much effort to tidy up a clean place, and she carefully helped Ren Suo sit down.

The most seriously injured person was naturally Ren Suo, as both of his hands were injured and he could not use any strength. Qiao Muyi, on the other hand, was completely unscathed, except that he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy in blocking the Thunder Bear Ursa, and also consumed a lot of physical strength in carrying Ren Suo upstream.

As for why Ren Suo knew to go upstream and why he knew the existence of this hidden cave, she no longer cared about such details.

Her mind was now filled with another thing, leaving her with no room for other thoughts.

"You rest here first. I'll go out and clean up the traces." Qiao Muyi said hurriedly, and without waiting for Ren Suo's response, he quickly left the cave.

Back at the riverbank, Qiao Muyi wiped out their footprints while suppressing the shame and regret that rose in her heart. Even the silvery moonlight could not wash away the blush on her face.

How could you just say that?

Besides, it's not liking yet. There's room for liking, for example, liking like liking cats, liking like liking friends... Why just use the word 'love' which sounds so embarrassing?

I also added ‘really’ and ‘ok’… I’m really shy now!

This was clearly my first confession, but why did it sound like a proposal... He should be the one saying this, right?

Will he think I'm casual?

Will he think I'm joking?

and……

Qiao Muyi had been watching Ren Suo's expression out of the corner of her eye, but from the time he fell into the water to the time he sat down in the cave, his expression had been normal, with a hint of ease in his confidence, and he had looked at her normally just now.

Thinking of this, Qiao Muyi was very angry: Why aren't you shy? Why don't you blush? Why don't you avoid my sight?

Are you the experienced one in the flower garden? Have I been deceived by you?

I was the one who wanted to tease you, how come you're the one who's tricked me now? ?

Besides me, have you tricked others like this?

Recalling those figures, Qiao Muyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The shame and anger in his heart melted away like a glacier, and was then filled with another heavier emotion.

She silently dealt with their footprints, then tiptoed back to the cave, and saw that the cave was bright, and Ren Suo, who was supposed to be dying, was actually doing push-ups.

Qiao Muyi was dumbfounded, and didn't know where to start. After a moment, he asked, "Did you buy these candles in the village?"

"Huh? Yeah." Ren Suo jumped up, twirled his hands like a windmill, and said with a smile: "Luckily I put it in my arms and not in my trouser pocket, otherwise it would have broken."

There are five round smokeless aromatherapy candles placed on the floor of the cave. Although each one is not very bright, together they are enough to illuminate the entire cave, making the cave, which should have been damp and cold, suddenly covered with a layer of ambiguous and beautiful gauze.

Qiao Muyi blinked and asked, "Are you alright with your injury?"

"It's okay. My healing spells are very powerful. It's just a broken arm, shattered bones, and torn muscles." Ren Suo waved his hand: "You go out for a while and I will heal myself."

"By the way, where are you injured? Let me help you heal it."

"I'm not injured anywhere..." Qiao Muyi shook her head, but at this time Ren Suo approached her and reached out to touch her face: "There is a bloody scratch on your face caused by the stone wall... Okay, it's healed."

Qiao Muyi was startled and quickly took out the mobile phone from Ren Suo's arms, turned on the front camera, and checked her face 360° to see if there were any other scars.

Ren Suo, who was watching from the side, was speechless - humph, woman.

"Do you have any other injuries?" Ren Suo asked, "It will be your turn to protect me from now on. If you don't heal your injuries, we will all be doomed. Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment. Tell me whatever problems you have!"

Qiao Muyi glanced at him and said, "I have used a lot of cyclone energy..."

"No problem, I can help you recover!" Ren Suo immediately patted his chest and said.

Qiao Muyi was a little surprised. She just said casually: "You can still help people recover their spiritual energy? Do you still have the energy to do this?"

"My awakening spell has evolved again. You are lucky to be the first patient to enjoy my magic replenishment service." Ren Suo said, "This spell does not require much of my spiritual energy, don't worry."

Because of the existence of the "Pure White Holy Grail", all of Ren Suo's healing spells will have enhanced effects and reduced costs. Spells such as "Heal the Wounded" and "Resurgence" naturally triggered the special effects of the props. Ren Suo didn't spend much effort to heal himself, and he even had enough energy to help Qiao Muyi replenish his magic.

He looked at the cave and said, "Are we just going to sit in the cave and recover?"

Although Qiu Muyi had just cleaned the cave, the Missile Mountains had already entered winter and the ground was still very cold and damp, so it would definitely not be very comfortable to sit down.

As for standing for treatment, that's even more stupid.

"I just saw some withered weeds outside. I'll go cut some and use them as a mat." Qiao Muyi said, swiping his phone, exiting the camera app and returning to the desktop.

She looked at her phone quietly for three seconds, then returned the phone to Ren Suo: "I'm going out to mow the grass, you stay here and don't move... Even if you recover from your injury, you can't do anything rash."

"good."

Ren Suo took the phone, thought about it, and directly pulled out the SIM card - God knows whether the Spirit Hall can detect them through the signal.

Then he swiftly took out a power bank. Fortunately, it was hidden secretly and not soaked in the river, so it could still be used.

Just as Ren Suo sat down to play with his phone, Qiao Muyi, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and said to Ren Suo with her back turned: "I just... you should forget what I just said."

Qiao Muyi lowered her head and stared at the shadow created by the candlelight on the ground, with a guilty look on her face, as if there was someone hiding in the shadow that she didn't want to face.

"I must be very troubled by me... Actually, I regret it too, so let's just pretend nothing happened."

She bit her lip and waited for Ren Suo's judgment.

"Young Master..."

"What are you talking about?"

Qiao Muyi turned his head and saw Ren Suo lying against the wall, scratching his head. He asked, "What happened just now?"

"It was when you fell off the cliff..." Qiao Muyi reminded.

"Ah, when I fell to the last section of the road, I was already dizzy." Ren Suo said embarrassedly: "I didn't dare to move at that time. My mind was full of the six countries' appointment of prime ministers, and I could only hear the sound of the wind rustling in my ears... What did you say at that time? Can you say it again?"

Qiao Muyi looked at him blankly, then suddenly walked over, pinched his face, and looked into his eyes carefully.

"What, what are you doing?" Ren Suo looked at her puzzledly.

It seems that he...did not lie.

Qiao Muyi, who was both angry and happy, put down the heavy stone in her heart, pinched Ren Suo's face hard a few times, then snorted and ran out angrily, leaving Ren Suo with a confused look on his face.

Good thing he didn't hear it.

So I didn’t betray Cheng Ling and Xiao Yue Yan’s trust, I didn’t compete with them for this fool, I didn’t degenerate into a love-brained foolish woman, and I didn’t make myself an indelible part of his life…

Qiao Muyi, who was cutting grass with her bare hands on the river bank, suddenly stopped and looked at the river surface covered with moonlight.

She saw a poor girl with her lips pursed, an unwilling look in her eyes, and tears about to overflow from her eyes.

He and I spent the most gorgeous, wonderful and happiest seven days of our lives.

I am a demon king who cannot live without an accomplice.

I am his protagonist alone.

Why...

Qiao Muyi stopped and took something out from the inner pocket of her coat.

Fortunately, Ren Suo protected her well, so the thing was still safe and sound.

Fortunately, Ren Suo didn't hear her confession.
