Cang Yan's eyes turned cold. He forcefully flung Ji Ling's hand away and growled, each word distinct and clear, "I said, she's dead!"
His words struck Ji Ling like a bolt from the blue.
"How could this be?" Ji Ling murmured, "How could this be... how could this be..."
She was perfectly fine when he left the underworld.
Ji Ling walked out of the Heavenly Palace, looking utterly dejected.
The scene of their first encounter a thousand years ago flashed before my eyes.
Back then, he and Cang Yan were sent to the human realm by the Divine Lord Xuanming to gain experience and eliminate the demons that were causing havoc in the human realm.
In a forest in the human realm, demonic energy soared into the sky.
Ji Ling came up with an idea, "Divine Lord Cangyan, why don't we set up these demon-catching devices in a circle in the middle of the forest? That should save us some effort. What do you think?"
"If you think it's okay, then it's okay." Cang Yan didn't care; he didn't really care about these things.
His most important purpose in coming to the human world was to bring back some opera scripts and storybooks for Canglan.
Ji Ling carefully placed the demon-catching tool, which was covered in sharp serrations, and then waited to ambush the monster.
Cang Yan and his prey were getting sleepy. He yawned and glanced at the time.
If he still couldn't wait, he would go to the temple fair in the human world to buy storybooks for his sister.
Just as Cang Yan was dozing off.
"ah!"
A scream brought him back to his senses.
"Holy crap, Seven Strategists! Is this the route you gave me? Didn't you see this huge trap?" Mu Tiantian had just arrived in this world and was following the route given by Seven Strategists to find Cang Yan.
As a result, a wolf-tooth clamp trapped all four of her legs, its fang-like serrations piercing into her flesh and bones.
The pain caused her to shout out what she had said to Qi Tong.
System: [I'm new to this world too, so my detection capabilities are still developing. Please bear with me.]
Mu Tiantian: [Then I need compensation.]
System: [...How much do you want?]
Mu Tiantian: [How can I not get at least ten thousand points?]
System: 【...Why don't you sell me? See if I'm worth 10,000 points.】
Mu Tiantian: [Then... it'll need at least three thousand points.]
System: [No problem.]
Mu Tiantian: [So agreeable, did I ask for too little?]
system:【......】
Suddenly, Mu Tiantian felt her ears being lifted up.
"A rabbit demon?" Ji Ling looked the rabbit in his hand up and down, his red eyes filled with tears.
"Did you put this clip here?" Mu Tiantian questioned.
Ji Ling nodded.
At this moment, Cang Yan also walked over, reached out and poked Mu Tiantian's rabbit face. It was fluffy and soft, and felt nice to the touch.
"After waiting for so long, all we caught was this little rabbit. Its demonic power is weak, yet it still possesses magical power. That's quite strange."
"Magic? If it's a demon possessed by a demon, then it must be killed." Ji Ling said with a serious expression, "Otherwise, it will endanger the human world."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian's eyes darted around, and she gave a sheepish laugh. "Two immortals, I am just a harmless little rabbit demon. I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a human. I am focused on cultivating, so please be merciful and let me go."
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.
A good demon doesn't fight with a deity.
Cang Yan chuckled upon hearing this, "They're quite sensible."
Mu Tiantian chuckled and flapped her short legs, which were caught in the demon-catching artifact.
As a result of this sudden movement, excruciating pain swept through all four limbs.
Seeing that she didn't have the bloody aura of someone who had killed, Cang Yan reached out and opened the demon-catching device on her leg, then threw it away.
The next moment, Ji Ling felt a sudden weight in his hand, and the rabbit he had picked up transformed into a beautiful young woman.
Her almond-shaped eyes were red from the pain, but she smiled sweetly as she grinned.
Ji Ling was closest to her, and her tearful red eyes, fair skin, and delicate nose all caught his eye.
At that moment, he wondered to himself, "Is she really a demon?"
Because Ji Ling was tall and was holding Mu Tiantian's rabbit ears in her hands, neither of her feet touched the ground.
Mu Tiantian looked at him with her big, watery eyes, "This immortal, can you put me down?"
Seeing her like this, Ji Ling's heart stirred slightly, and he obediently loosened his grip.
Mu Tiantian's ankle was still bleeding, and the intense pain made her lose her footing and fall to the ground. "Ouch~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
"I'm sorry," Ji Ling quickly apologized.
Just as he was about to help her up, a large number of demons surged out from the depths of the forest.
With lightning speed, Cang Yan grabbed Mu Tiantian's rabbit ears, and she turned back into a rabbit.
He then tucked her into his arms, and together with Ji Ling, they took out their divine artifacts and cast a spell to eliminate the demons.
Mu Tiantian was so suffocated by him stuffing her into his clothes that she could hardly breathe.
After a while, Cang Yan pulled her out.
Mu Tiantian kicked her short legs and said, "My sir, could you please not mention my ears?"
"I think you're cuter the way you are." The more Cang Yan touched her ears, the better they felt, and he also casually rubbed her stomach a couple of times.
"Aaaaah! You pervert!" Mu Tiantian couldn't help but shout.
"Don't shout, don't move, or I won't take care of you anymore," Cang Yan threatened her with a smile.
Mu Tiantian pouted, her puffed-up cheeks making her look both cute and fierce.
Cang Yan was overjoyed at this and took another sip.
Ji Ling watched the interaction between the human and the rabbit with some surprise.
This was the first time he had ever seen Cangyan Divine Lord show such great interest, especially towards a rabbit demon.
Cang Yan carefully applied medicine and bandaged Mu Tiantian's wound.
This magical artifact is specifically designed to deal with demons and monsters; it cannot be cured in a short time, whether by celestial or divine power.
Therefore, the only option is to take medication and rest properly.
After applying the medicine, Cang Yan rubbed Mu Tiantian's body a few more times, mainly because it felt so good.
Mu Tiantian was speechless. What kind of fetish did this male lead have?
She tried to transform into human form, but it didn't work.
Cang Yan noticed her movements and said, "Your body is weak right now, and your demonic power is unstable. It will take at least a few days before you can transform back into human form. So, you can only stay put for now."
After he finished speaking, he started touching her head again.
Mu Tiantian felt like he had rubbed her head so much that she was going to go bald, and she seriously doubted the truthfulness of what he was saying.
