"Sir, are you alright?"
The shadowy figure, quietly standing beside Mingyan, watched as Ling Yanze's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and watched as the Demon Lord stared in that direction for a long time without making any response.
Ten thousand years is a really long time. So long that he had forgotten when he last saw the Demon Lord with such an expression.
Let's go!
"yes!"
The beauty never spoke again after that.
No matter how much Xiang Wan nudged his hand and made ingratiating whimpers, he never heard a word from the beauty. He simply stroked her back silently for a long time.
Finally, the beauty leaned against a very thick tree branch, looked up at the night sky, and absentmindedly stroked Xiang Wan's head.
The night sky was indeed beautiful, with countless stars twinkling in the sky.
But as soon as Xiang Wan thought that the stars were actually images transmitted from a planetary explosion hundreds of millions or billions of light-years ago, she immediately lost the desire to watch them.
The world is vast, but sleep is the most important thing!
Since the beauty doesn't want to sleep, then let her sleep.
Xiang Wan closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The beauty listened to Xiang Wan's even breathing, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved up.
"If only life could always be like the first time we met!"
"My lord, shouldn't we speed things up? There are quite a few people who are eager to make their move, and I'm worried that something might go wrong."
"Cyclone, why do I find you getting more and more talkative?"
"No, I'm just a little worried."
"Worried? Afraid I'll repeat the same mistake?"
“You always have this same expression whenever you see him.”
"Oh? Then tell me, am I happy or sad?"
“Suppressed! Every time I see it, the suppression grows heavier. Forgive my bluntness, but when have we demons ever needed to be so restrained? If we want something, we go for it; if we can't get it, we take it by force. Doing whatever we want is the true nature of the demons.”
"Chongying, you've been by my side for so many years, and you still don't understand!"
"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. To understand would mean having too many concerns and being prone to anxiety. Over the years, you have seemed indifferent to everything and decisive in your actions, but I know that your thoughts are buried deep in your heart. I would rather see the Demon Lord who never takes anything seriously, the one who is full of vigor and arrogance."
"So that's what I really look like. No wonder!"
"Your subordinate is not lying."
"You haven't changed at all over the years."
"I spoke out of turn."
"Some things cannot be explained in just a few words."
"yes!"
As dawn broke, Xiang Wan woke up to find himself back in the cloth bag.
The whistling wind reminded her that the beauty was traveling at a rapid pace.
To avoid distracting the beauty, Xiang Wan decided it was better to continue sleeping.
But things don't always go as the fox wishes. Just as she was getting drowsy, the beauty suddenly stopped in her tracks, staggered, and almost fainted.
"roar!"
A deafening roar echoed through the sky, the sound waves pounding against eardrums, nearly deafening people.
He secretly poked a hole in the cloth bag and looked out. He saw a huge, striped tiger, as tall as a person, baring its teeth at the beauty.
It was surrounded by a number of animals, all of unusually large size, including what appeared to be the escaped lynx.
That cunning lynx! If we let it go, it will actually find help!
Xiang Wan inwardly despised the mad cat's ungrateful behavior, but dared not utter a sound, fearing she might cause trouble for the beauty.
There were quite a few large animals, and it seemed that many more were gathering in this direction, almost as if they were trying to wrap her and the beauty up like dumplings.
With so many animals, can a beauty defeat them all?
Will the beauty kill them all?
Will too much killing affect the beauty's state of mind?
At that moment, Xiang Wan's first thought was actually about the safety of the beauty!
If the beauty can't win, will she be eaten as a snack?
This last one seems to be the key point.
Xiang Wan remained motionless in the cloth bag, anticipating the beauty's triumph and hoping he wouldn't treat the animals so casually as he had the night before.
These animals are not to be trifled with!
Xiang Wan clearly heard the sound of the beauty drawing her sword, and then she was thrown into the air and hung on a tree branch.
This feeling of suddenly being lifted into the air is really unpleasant.
The beauty is fighting there by herself. What if she gets snatched away by a cat while she's left in the tree?
The roars of animals rose and fell, and the sounds of swords striking bones and claws were frequent, demonstrating just how fierce the battle was taking place under the tree.
A strong, fishy smell wafted over, and Xiang Wan knew that the lynx had arrived.
Just what I feared most has come to pass!
The cloth bag hung precariously in mid-air. She struggled desperately, but ultimately could not climb out of it.
With a "meow," the cloth bag was picked up and quickly leaped to a nearby tree.
With each jump, Xiang Wan knew she was getting further and further away from the beauty. She became anxious and called out desperately.
The lynx snorted and sped up its movements through the woods.
The sounds of fighting had faded, but the lynx still didn't stop.
When Xiang Wan felt herself being put on the ground, she heard a very soft "meow" sound, and then she smelled the fishy smell gradually fading away.
She quickly climbed out from the sealed opening of the cloth bag, and there was no trace of the lynx or any other animals around.
The beauty? The beauty is still in danger; she must go find him!
Xiang Wan sniffed the air to pinpoint the direction from which the lynx's scent was coming, but there were other faint scents mixed in, unlike those of animals.
