Liang Ci lay on the couch for a whole day before slowly waking up.
Looking at Mu Huan, who was sleeping soundly beside him, Liang Ci's face broke into a long-lost smile. They say a beautiful woman's smile can move a thousand miles. Liang Ci didn't usually smile, but when he did, he looked like a troublemaker.
He reached out his slender hand and gently touched Mu Huan's head. How long had it been? He couldn't remember exactly. Fortunately, she was still standing in front of him, still able to bicker with him. After so many long years, he was finally no longer alone.
Mu Huan felt the touch and slowly woke up. "You're awake!" There was a subtle hint of surprise and relief in his tone.
"Hmm!" He responded softly, slowly getting up from the couch. "Here?"
Seeing the confusion on Liang Ci's face, Mu Huan was shocked, "Ah! This is my space, don't worry, it's safe here." She waved her hand and put away the domain. The ghost power consumption for a day was really too much for her, but fortunately, she had the spiritual power to support her so it wasn't too bad.
Liang Ci looked straight at Mu Huan and coughed twice, "Aren't you going to leave yet?" The rules of this city have been completely changed. Staying here will only cause trouble. It is better to leave as soon as possible.
"Why should I leave?" Mu Huan was amused. Her people were still sealed away in this city, and she hadn't rescued them yet. How could she leave? She wasn't a kind person, but she had kinship with them. They hadn't abandoned her back then, so there was no way she was going to abandon them now.
"This city is not the city you remember!" Liang Ci felt the breath of creatures from outside the world from the moment he came in. It was completely separated from the spiritual creatures outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and no one could judge the degree of danger.
"I know, but..." Mu Huan's eyes turned cold, "so what! My city cannot be easily occupied by a group of vulgar spiritual creatures." He still had the same temper as before, very stubborn and would not listen to advice at all.
From the moment Mu Huan mentioned the vulgar spiritual creature, the atmosphere of the entire city suddenly changed. The blood moon in the sky turned a deeper color, and the entire city suddenly turned from night to day.
Everything around him was rearranging itself in a strange pattern, gradually becoming somewhat out of place. "Oh, it's just as I expected. That man's arms are really long!" Mu Huan would never forget that man, that devilish man, the man who had once dragged himself into the Forgetful River to fish for evil spirits, just to make a woman happy.
The black smoke that had just attacked Mu Huan and Liang Ci returned to them. This time, the black smoke formed a solid object that seemed a bit stronger than before.
"Mu Huan! Why bother struggling? Why don't you just come back with me?" Black Smoke's voice wasn't the same one they'd heard before; it was a secret message! And only Mu Huan heard it.
"Go back with you? Haha." Mu Huan sneered and glanced at Liang Ci who was standing beside him. "You have nothing to do here anymore. Thank you for saving me, but I don't want you to interfere in my affairs."
Liang Ci paused for a moment and said, "I'm not interfering in your affairs, but the control of this body belongs to my apprentice, and I must protect her." Being so cold and indifferent is also Liang Ci's usual character.
Liang Ci looked at the black smoke before him. He couldn't guarantee that he could take Mu Huan away safely if he attacked violently. Because his own strength had been suppressed in the lower realm, coupled with the numerous injuries, his body was now at the end of its strength.
However, he had said that he would never let Mu Huan be exposed to danger again. Therefore, by forcibly releasing the spiritual power in his body, he could still bring Mu Huan away safely.
Mu Huan was speechless. Indeed, she and the disciple Liang Ci mentioned were the same person. That "idiot" was lucky to have such a master by her side. She vaguely remembered that there was also such a person who always protected her, but in the end...
Mu Huan put his thoughts aside and said, "Whatever you want, I don't care." He stared at the black smoke in front of him and asked, "Do you really think you can trap me today?"
"I know that now that your wings are strong, I will definitely not be able to trap you. But if I can break your wings with my own hands, this trip would not be in vain."
As soon as the words fell, Black Smoke had already made a move (even though it had no hands!). Liang Ci stood in front of Mu Huan, with the Miaoxian Sword ready to strike.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't moved at all. Mu Huan couldn't explain exactly what he was feeling right now, but this feeling of being protected was definitely something he had never experienced before.
However, this was her business, Liang Ci was just a mortal, and she must not involve him in this. Moreover, he was so "weak" to begin with, what if he died because he didn't know how to handle the situation well?
"That's enough, I don't need you! Don't you understand?" She forcibly pulled away Liang Ci who was standing in front of her. She had never needed help from others. She had been alone since she was a child, so she would not need anyone else in the future.
His hands moved gently, and a black aura lingered in front of Mu Huan. Gradually, it fell to the ground, and one after another, red spider lilies bloomed behind him, gradually forming a large area that looked like the Yellow Springs Road.
The black smoke's attack stopped instantly, and because it barely managed to stop it, it rebounded back upon itself. "Manjushage!" His tone was filled with both obsession and resentment, two extreme emotions entangled within the black smoke. "Ah!" The black smoke dissipated instantly, and the blood moon in the sky gradually faded from its terrifying crimson.
"Puff!" The blood-stained Lycoris radiata didn't bloom as they once did. Instead, they withered and died one after another, until finally, dust returned to dust. Mu Huan, exhausted, collapsed into Liang Ci's arms.
