Beyond this green plain lies the territory of the demons. Dark clouds loom ahead, and a storm is raging, a truly terrifying sight characteristic of the demons.
Meanwhile, Nian Wanzhou had been waiting in the city for a long time.
Wei Wenru and her two companions easily entered the city and inquired about Nian Wanzhou's whereabouts.
The demons don't screen people who enter the city; as long as you dare to come, you can enter without fear of never returning. There's no discipline here; bullying and killing are everywhere, and there are even dead people lying in the streets.
Such people are indifferent and dismissive; this kind of thing happens many times every day.
There are no humans here; the majority are demons and spirit beasts, followed by cultivators who come to search for treasure, seek revenge, or simply visit out of curiosity.
The three of them were also harassed by thugs, as if it were a recurring scene; no matter who you were, you'd get harassed the moment you walked in. It was like the thugs had been replaced by thugs.
Seven or eight thugs stepped forward with lewd grins.
After finally getting rid of those bastards, it was their turn to take over and block the people at the city gate. How could they let this opportunity pass them by?
"Oh, young lady, why did you choose two such pretty boys? Isn't it good to live a life of luxury with your brother?"
"Don't speak, hand over your valuables, and we might consider sparing your lives."
"How about you come with me, pretty boy? I like guys with your delicate skin, hehe!"
People around ignored what was happening, habitually moving aside to go about their own business, and some didn't even bother to look up.
These people are like emotionless machines; they are unmoved by anything and simply bury themselves in their work, after all, this is a chaotic demon city.
The three of them were surrounded by several thugs, but they were not afraid. Instead, they smiled calmly.
Especially Le Xi, thinking that Nian Wanzhou must have suffered such disgusting things when he entered the city, instantly felt furious.
How could we let such a cute little girl like Wanwan have her eyes dirty with this kind of thing?
Before they could even make a move, a familiar white light instantly took away seven or eight thugs. In the blink of an eye, only a few withered bodies remained, without even a chance to speak.
The three looked in astonishment toward the source of the attack, where a woman in a blue-gray round-necked robe strolled over.
The woman was tall but thin, with a pale face and bloodless lips, but her large, round eyes were bright and piercing.
Just as the restaurant owner described, he looked exactly like a dying man, except that his lips were... somewhat bloodless.
Perhaps because he had just made his move, he still exuded a chilling aura, giving people a sense of awe and reverence even when he was just standing there.
Yet it carries an air of intimacy that makes people want to get closer.
Lexi looked left and right: Oh, he looks so familiar, where have I seen him before?
"Wan...you are Wanwan?" Wei Wenru asked in disbelief as she stepped forward. The girl didn't look very old, but she was extremely thin.
You know, when Wanwan was a baby, she was so round and cute. Even though she suddenly grew up, she is still chubby and everyone wants to pinch her cheeks.
Now......
If it weren't for the familiar scent and the recognizable face, she wouldn't have dared to go up and ask.
Honestly, I can't believe it.
"Senior sister, it's me! Don't you recognize me? Eldest brother, second brother, let's go. I've booked rooms at the inn up ahead. Let's catch up there." Nian Wanzhou greeted them happily and led the three to the inn.
Unexpectedly, her lighthearted appearance appeared to Wei Wenru and the others as if she were about to pass away at any moment.
His steps were unsteady, and he barely had the strength to speak.
But it's really not a good time to talk outside right now, so let's go to the inn first and ask.
They remained silent the whole way until they arrived at the room, where Lexi and the others learned what had happened to Nian Wanzhou along the way.
"Wanwan, how did you become like this? Didn't you eat properly?" Wei Wenru had just entered the room when she hurriedly set up a protective barrier and tenderly cupped Nian Wanzhou's face in her hands.
Looking at it again and again, I still couldn't believe it: "How could I have lost so much weight?"
Nian Wanzhou couldn't explain it; she didn't know why she couldn't gain weight. She only gained weight after absorbing some black mist.
"Senior sister, it must be because I swallowed the black mist last time. I swallowed some more afterward, and that's why I've gained weight." Nian Wanzhou showed the same sunny and carefree smile that they often shared, and then hugged Wei Wenru.
He buried his head in Wei Wenru's waist and said coquettishly, "Senior sister must miss me a lot, right? I miss you too, but... I don't really want to go back. Can you understand me, senior sister?"
Hearing the soft, yielding sound coming from her waist, Wei Wenru felt her heart melt.
He hugged her tightly: "How could Senior Sister not know?"
Song Yan interjected at the opportune moment: "Wanwan, didn't you run into the Sixth Elder along the way?"
"No, I told my godfather not to come looking for me anymore, and I didn't tell him where I was. Hasn't he gone back yet?" Nian Wanzhou was a little surprised; she really hadn't met him.
Few people would recognize her like this, even though she had told Wei Wenru and the other two her route and left her presence.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to find it either.
Godfather...
Weren't we telling him to go back? Why is he so stubborn about taking her home? She doesn't want to go back at all. If she wanted to go back, she would have already left for her sect. Why would they need to come looking for her?
However, I feel really bad for him.
"I didn't plan to go back so soon. If you're also thinking of taking me back, I won't let you succeed!" Nian Wanzhou said sullenly.
She's still that heartbreaking child.
No matter how much he grows up, in their eyes he'll always be just a cute, sunny child.
Wei Wenru stroked her messy head, let her hair down, and gently combed it. Nian Wanzhou helped her sit down, closed her eyes on her lap, and fell asleep peacefully.
Only when loved ones are by my side can I relax and get a good night's sleep.
But he only slept for a short while.
"Senior sister, is there anything you need to do after you came out? I can't go back yet." Nian Wanzhou said wearily with her eyes closed, clearly not having had enough sleep.
Wei Wenru paused, unsure of what to say.
Lexi stood around the two of them, propping her chin up as she observed Nian Wanzhou's sleeping face: "We just missed you, that's why we came out to find you. There's nothing special we need to do. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. We'll stay with you."
But Nian Wanzhou refused: "I have other things to do and can't take you with me. Besides... I haven't officially brought Nanyu home yet. You probably can't enter that secret realm, and I'm also looking for a way to get closer."
Hearing her say that, Song Yan was happy that Nian Wanzhou could be so open-minded: "We can stay together for as long as we want, as long as you are safe. We can wait for you outside the secret realm."
