Leng Ning Shuang went out alone, and Geng Qi wasn't worried at all. Mei was the most composed person in the Demon Palace. If she went to track them herself and didn't want anyone to find out, then those people would never find out.
Two days have passed since True Person Lingyuan entered the Demon Palace. The news that the Demon Lord disguised himself as a young man and infiltrated the Tianzhi Sect to become a grand-disciple of Shangxu Peak has spread throughout the entire sect. All the peak masters gathered at Shangxu Peak to discuss the matter, and the disciples who were cultivating on various peaks also came down the mountain to gather together.
Several people who had been cheated twice in a row were sitting under a thick tree, looking at each other in silence.
"Gao Yao, you've had the most contact with that person, what's your opinion?"
"Huh?" Gao Yao looked up blankly when he was suddenly called out: "I...I...I haven't had much contact with them either."
When he first joined the sect, he was treated as a junior brother and was only taken care of for two days.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin pursed her lips. She actually knew that if others wanted to hide, their weak cultivation levels wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
She used to call him a demon, but after being pulled back from the brink of death in the secret realm, she could no longer utter that title.
"Do you think the Demon Lord really has those kinds of feelings for Ling Yuan Zhenren?"
Someone hesitated to speak, but was quickly glared at by the group, and then hung their head dejectedly.
This was actually the question in the minds of everyone present.
The elders who went to the Demon Palace to negotiate have all returned, but only Master Lingyuan is left in the "enemy camp". The sect leader is slow to respond. It's just a forbidden area in the back mountain. The ancestral remains are inanimate objects. What is more important than human life?
Su Mo'er was among them. After a moment of silence, she said, "He saved me, more than once."
Ye Hanqi replied, "He also saved me."
Yuan Xin: "..."
Gao Yao: "..."
They had all been rescued, more than once.
Even if that person had ulterior motives from the beginning, they can no longer regard him as an utterly wicked demon in their hearts.
In Ge Feng Town, he was lazy all day long, with a blue shadow always hanging in his eyes, but he always helped out in critical moments. In the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm, his junior brother, who was always laughing and joking, reappeared when they were surrounded and trapped by their fellow cultivators. He came in a hurry with a clear purpose: he came to save them!
At that time, he should have already reached the seventh floor!
Going so far as to abandon the initiative and turn back halfway to save people, it doesn't seem like he was just putting on an act at all!
With just a little thought, the image of the demon had already been completely overturned in their minds.
It even makes one feel that, with Ling Yuan Zhenren's extraordinary talent and lofty, independent demeanor, only the current Demon Lord is qualified to be compared with him.
The thought that the person they revered as a god would one day become a Daoist partner with an unknown woman made them compare him to the famous immortals they had ever met, and they all shook their heads frantically in their hearts!
Blasphemy! That is blasphemy!
As everyone sighed, a streak of light flashed across Shangxu Peak and returned to their respective peaks. Several people stood up and looked up, but only two remained seated. Ye Hanqi stood motionless, while Su Mo'er sipped her tea, lost in thought.
She recalled the day she walked out of the thorn forest. The two people had avoided everyone and then emerged from behind the trees. Given the unusual behavior between the two, did Master Lingyuan really know nothing about the Demon Lord's disguise?
She suddenly smiled, and someone handed her a peeled chestnut. She reached out and took it, giving him a sweet smile.
Inside the Demon Palace, the warm morning sunlight streamed through the glazed tiles on the roof, dazzling the eyes. Even after the canopy blocked the light, the sunlight still shone brightly on his face. Geng Qi, who was fast asleep with his eyes closed, subconsciously turned to avoid the light and slowly woke up.
Before me lay a peaceful sleeping face, a flawlessly handsome face, so exquisitely sculpted that one could never tire of looking at it. A bare forearm stretched out from under the covers, and long, slender, and delicate fingertips touched the porcelain-like face, playfully tapping it.
Rong Yu didn't open his eyes, but opened his mouth and bit down when Rong Yu's fingers touched his lips, gently licking them.
Geng Qi's heart fluttered slightly. His body inside the blanket suddenly shrank, making him shorter than Rong Yu. His face, which could have brushed against Rong Yu's forehead, was now buried in Rong Yu's firm chest. The touch was wonderful. Not satisfied, he snuggled deeper into Rong Yu's arms and then rubbed against him vigorously.
Rong Yu then hugged him, and after he had rubbed against her enough and looked up, she carefully smoothed his messy hair and tucked it behind his ear.
He was almost completely buried in the blankets, with only his flushed face showing, and he tilted his head back slightly as he said, "I fell asleep last night."
"……Um."
"..."
They should have been cultivating!
It wasn't just a whim. He found an ancient dual cultivation technique in the library and thought he'd give it a try. At first, it went smoothly, but after circulating his spiritual energy for four cycles, he started to feel drowsy and eventually fell asleep without remembering how.
Looking inward at his dantian, he found it brimming with spiritual energy, and even his divine soul had been refined considerably.
Cultivation is effective, but it cannot be sustained for too long.
Rong Yu knew what he was worried about and comforted him, "We'll find them all eventually."
Geng Qi nodded.
The system has been quiet for the past two days, and no new fragment locations have been displayed on the interface. It seems that no new tasks will appear until the task to go to the back mountain of Shangxu Peak is completed.
As the Gu worms matured, the Tianzhi Sect had to make a decision today. Thinking that they would have to leave the Demon Palace after agreeing to this person's request, Geng Qi was somewhat reluctant. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and bit him on the shoulder, leaving a circle of red teeth marks before letting go.
He dared not bite it on the neck, as it would have a bad influence if someone saw it.
Feeling somewhat resentful, he looked up and said, "Let's have a fight!"
