Chapter 21 What are you doing in Ghost Valley?
Inside the Yin Sha Formation, Ming Jiuyou's Life-Locking Ruler was pointed directly at Yu Xiaoluo's brow.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo could not dodge in time. She threw out the Xuan Tian Fa Whip from her space, wrapped it around the Life-Locking Ruler, and pulled hard, and the Life-Locking Ruler actually fell out of Ming Jiuyou's hand.
Ming Jiuyou was greatly alarmed. He could see that this Xuan Tian whip was no ordinary whip; it shone with a blue light and possessed the aura of dragons and the might of tigers. Moreover, why did this whip feel so familiar?
"Who exactly are you? You possess the Seven Star Magic Sword and the Mysterious Heaven Magic Whip."
“Ming Jiuyou, you bear the burden of thousands of lives and control tens of thousands of souls. You disregard the laws of heaven and wantonly bring destruction to living beings. I am here to take you away on behalf of Yama.”
"Heh, who do you think you are? Even the King of Hell would give me a wide berth!"
"Really?" She hadn't seen that brat Yama in a long time. If she did see him, she would definitely make him pay back the hundred taels of silver he owed her.
Yama was her second-generation disciple, with extraordinary talent and abilities. He was originally a promising successor to her mantle, but he was assassinated and died a violent death.
After he died, Yu Xiaoluo burned a hundred taels of silver for him, making the paper money taller than a mountain. Only then did he go further and further in his official career, and his path to officialdom became increasingly smooth.
Back then, one hundred taels of silver, with principal and interest compounded, could probably open a bank today.
She just never had the chance to ask for it. Sometimes when she was reincarnated, she would see the King of Hell and forget about it. When she didn't see him, she would often think about it. As an ordinary person whose lifespan had not yet ended, she could not go to the underworld for no reason. She would not go unless absolutely necessary.
After all, going to the underworld once would shorten one's lifespan by a year, so she still cherished her life.
Reincarnation is also a skill; live well in the present moment—this is Yu Xiaoluo's motto.
Hmm, she definitely has to get the money back next time she's reincarnated. I wonder how much it will be; she'll have to calculate it carefully when she gets back.
Just as Yu Xiaoluo's blissful thoughts were drifting further and further away, Ming Jiuyou attacked her with a deadly ghostly fire. This deadly ghostly fire was extremely powerful and could melt almost anything.
That old monster has so many magical treasures.
Yu Xiaoluo didn't dare to touch it and could only avoid it.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone walking this way.
By the light of the deadly ghostly flames, she recognized Bao Shuoyu at a glance, and she could hardly believe it.
How could he be here? But she has absolutely no way of knowing his past or future, not even a moment into the future.
What exactly happened?
When Yu Xiaoluo lost her focus, the deadly ghostly fire ignited her sleeve. She immediately tore off the sleeve and threw it away, thus avoiding injury.
"Brother Shuoyu, leave quickly!"
Yes, he was one of his targets. Before he did anything bad, he wasn't a big villain; he was clean and innocent, and he couldn't die in vain.
Brother Shuoyu?
Bao Shuoyu raised an eyebrow. Did this young girl know him?
He then searched through the original owner's memories, and his smile deepened. This little girl is interesting.
Seeing that Bao Shuoyu was still standing there watching the commotion, seemingly enjoying the chaos and showing no intention of leaving, Yu Xiaoluo became anxious. She darted to Bao Shuoyu's side, grabbed him, and ran away.
"Run!"
Bao Shuoyu was dragged along by Yu Xiaoluo, looking completely bewildered.
Why would a demon lord need this blond-haired little girl to save him?
However, ordinary people cannot sense it, but he can feel the powerful aura emanating from this little girl. Without deep cultivation, one simply cannot possess such an aura.
At such an age, to have such spiritual practice is very mismatched.
Could it be that she, like me, has been possessed?
Bao Shuoyu found it increasingly interesting. Since that was the case, he decided to pretend to be an innocent, pure, and fragrant little white lotus who knew nothing.
How did you end up here?
“A few guys dragged me here, saying we were here for an adventure. I had no idea they would bring me to this Savage Valley.”
"That's ridiculous."
Yu Xiaoluo ran for a while and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ming Jiuyou hadn't caught up. Suddenly, she remembered something and hurried to find Yu Jiangbai and the others.
She held onto Bao Shuoyu's hand tightly. "Brother Shuoyu, don't be afraid. Follow me, I'll protect you!"
Bao Shuoyu looked at her face in the dim light, her dark black hair reflecting off her delicate, snow-white face, and her clear, deep starry eyes beneath her intertwined eyelashes, and his heart trembled.
"I will protect you"—what touching words! His heart seemed to be stirring up things that had been dormant for too long and were almost forgotten.
That was before he became the Demon Lord. When he was starving and didn't make way in time, he was beaten half to death by a group of people. At that moment, a little girl of five or six years old rushed out of the alley, clenching her little fists.
"Don't hit people! Don't bully the kind and the poor! If you bully people now, you'll be beaten when you're poor and old!"
"Oh ho, you little girl are quite eloquent, but you're too ignorant, daring to yell at me."
Just as the thugs were about to teach the young girl a lesson, the old man who followed behind them shouted, "If you dare to touch our young lady, we'll chop off your hands!"
One of the thugs recognized the old man, quickly ran away, muttered a few words, and, not daring to provoke him, fled.
The little girl held his hand, her face serious. "Big brother, don't be afraid, I'll protect you! If they dare to come again, I'll beat them up!"
The little girl gave him a piece of osmanthus cake, and the old man gave him two taels of silver, which saved his life.
But after that, he never saw the little girl and the old man again; the world was so vast, yet they were destined never to meet again. However, he kept this matter buried here for over a thousand years.
Bao Shuoyu looked at Yu Xiaoyu and inexplicably thought of that little girl, although he knew that she couldn't possibly be that little girl, as the cycle of reincarnation had happened too many times in this world.
That tiny figure had long since turned to dust.
Looking back now, of all the wonderful things he experienced in his life, only that one was real; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into the demonic path and become the Demon Lord.
Unfortunately, he never met him again.
Yu Xiaoluo pulled him along and they ran back to where Yu Jiangbai and the others were.
But the ghosts were still there, densely packed, even more than last time. If they really fought, she would be exhausted to death. Moreover, the protective barrier she had set up had been broken, and Xiao Xianxian was nowhere to be found, as were Yu Jiangbai and the others.
Yu Xiaoluo had no idea that Ming Jiuyou was so powerful. She had weakened her original power during reincarnation, while he had been cultivating continuously, so his cultivation was no less than hers.
No wonder most cultivators are no match for him; once they come, they never return.
"Big brother, big brother, are you here—" No one responded, but the evil spirits heard her, turned around and looked at her, then surrounded her...
