"I'm the one who's sorry to you. It has nothing to do with Youyou." Yuri frowned. Xiaozhuang in front of him made him a little impatient. He also couldn't bear to see others being cruel to Luo Youyou in front of him. The person who could make him willingly suffer the torture to death deserves to be treated gently by the whole world.
"You're such a bitch!" Xiaozhuang raised his chin in a protesting manner, pointed at Yuri's nose and spoke word by word. His stubborn eyes were completely different from his previous weak look.
"Don't think you can be so presumptuous in front of me."
Luo Youyou could clearly feel Yuri's grip on her waist tighten, his body stiffening—a sign of his anger. If Xiaozhuang said another word, she was sure Yuri would lecture her without hesitation. She didn't know what they had been through, nor did she know if she was the one who interfered. But Xiaozhuang had just helped her get the bone harp back, so she owed him something, and she couldn't burn the bridge no matter what.
She was just thinking about how to dispel the smell of gunpowder when Xiaozhuang suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears like a child. He cried heartbreakingly, covering his face with his hands, tears flowing through his fingers, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You're still like this! After more than a thousand years, you're still so heartless!"
Yuri and Luo Youyou panicked. Xiaozhuang cried and screamed like a child abandoned on the street by his parents, looking so helpless. Yuri was powerless against a woman like this. Even the strongest man would surrender before such a woman. But he had just made his position clear. If he went to help her up now, what would happen if Luo Youyou got angry again? Although he was not sure whether she was still angry or not.
Luo Youyou didn't know what to do. She felt like the culprit who broke up other people's families and caused them to be separated. Everything she said seemed like she was showing off like a shameful winner.
The sky was pale as a fish belly, and the enchanting white mist drove away the stars. A cool breeze blew by, and dewdrops dotted the tips of the grass, reflecting the morning light. Everything was silent, and only Xiaozhuang's crying echoed through the sky, which seemed even more desolate in this picturesque morning.
A barely audible hissing sound began to emanate from Yuri and Xiaozhuang, and the smell they emitted was like meat on a grill pan. Xiaozhuang continued to cry regardless, while Yuri and Luo Youyou stood there like statues, each with their own thoughts.
"If you don't go back, you will turn into ashes." Mu Yaxi ran out with a black coat, put it on Yuri's head, then pulled Yuri and Luo Youyou into the house, leaving Xiaozhuang sitting on the ground and making a scene.
The rising sun showed a line, like a naughty eye hiding in the sky and peeping. Xiaozhuang's whole body began to turn red. He didn't care at all whether he would be burned to ashes in the next second. He just wanted to seek justice for himself.
Luo Youyou had no choice but to carry Xiaozhuang on her shoulders, and they all finally returned to a safe area.
Xiaozhuang was stunned by Luo Youyou's action and stopped crying. Luo Youyou put her on the sofa. She wiped her tears and looked up at Luo Youyou. Leaving her on the grass and letting the sun burn her to ash, wouldn't the entanglement of three people become the story of two people? This is what any vampire woman would do. Why did she save herself?
Luo Youyou was also puzzled. Just now, Xiaozhuang's eyes looked as if he wanted to tear her apart and skin her, but now they turned into an exploration of her as if she were a strange creature.
"Youyou is different from others. Stop looking and go to rest. I'll take you home in the evening." Yuri blocked Xiaozhuang's sight. He knew that Xiaozhuang had a typical vampire mentality.
"I'm not going back. I want to stay with you." Xiaozhuang said, and ignoring the surprised expressions of others, he went straight back to his guest room.
"Shouldn't you ask me if I should take you in?" Mu Yaxi shouted angrily towards her room.
Yuri looked at Luo Youyou apologetically and was about to speak when she gave him a cold, indifferent look and returned to her room. The past was unclear, the future was unresolved, and the person involved refused to leave. Without resolving anything, nothing could continue. Luo Youyou was speechless and wanted to sort out this complicated four-corner relationship.
In the next few days, everyone complained bitterly in this vortex of strange and turbulent atmosphere. Mo Yu was busy gathering members of the Nofel tribe to help find the whereabouts of the holy weapon. Jia Yi did not return to Shuncheng for several days, and the others seemed to have nothing to do.
Yue Shenxun "tortured" Fang Ziyu and Ni Tiantian every day, and they gradually improved under her abuse. They no longer pounced on people like hungry wolves, and gradually learned to distinguish between good and bad people. Yin Zhan and Mu Yaxi were always together, going out at night and returning at dawn. Canying and Jing Yan felt a sense of sympathy for each other as fellow wanderers. Canying felt abandoned by Yin Zhan, and Jing Yan felt that his presence in front of Luo Youyou was getting weaker and weaker, so the two of them went out together every day and returned at dawn.
Xiaozhuang chases Yuri every day, and Yuri and Langbai stick to Luo Youyou, resulting in the four of them being inseparable every day, making the complicated relationship even more confusing.
"There's news about Jiayi." After nearly a month, Mo Yu finally brought exciting news to everyone.
"Gayi went to the Witch Country and made a deal with Sersi. I don't know what the deal was about, but what is certain is that Sersi now has the Soul Ring and the Spirit Staff. After leaving the Witch Country, he went to the Celestial Realm and is still there."
"Heaven?" Everyone exclaimed, "Isn't it gone?"
"The gods are gone, but the heaven is still there. It's just that after the heaven was destroyed, no one knows what it looks like now, because no one knows how to get to the heaven." Mo Yu explained.
"Only the bloodline of God can open the entrance to heaven." Yuri frowned and suddenly asked, "Is the man in the castle still here?"
Mo Yu shook his head. "We left the day after we went to get the bone harp. If that's the case, Jia Yi must have used it to open the entrance to the heavens."
"He said he is not Jiayi's man." Xiaozhuang said softly, her voice full of guilt. She was the one who released the man. Releasing the enemy was equivalent to betraying a friend, so she had to try her best to sever his relationship with Jiayi.
"You are very familiar with him." Mu Yaxi curled her lips.
Xiaozhuang didn't dare to say anything more. Everyone here was pretty nice to her, except Mu Yaxi, who bared his teeth and claws at her as if he wanted to eat her.
"Looks like we can't avoid meeting Sersi." Luo Youyou didn't care where Jiayi was; she'd be dealing with him sooner or later anyway. She was more concerned about the staff. No matter how many holy artifacts she retrieved, without the staff, Jiayi would use that man to hurt Mu Yaxi again, forcing her to exchange the staff. She couldn't let all her efforts go to waste like this time. So she had to get the staff and the method to activate it first, so she could search for other holy artifacts without any worries.
