A curtain was set up in the cave. Ni Cai, like a warm-hearted sister, gently lifted Le Jiajia's injured calf and sprayed a hemostatic agent on it.
The cold liquid medicine made Le Jiajia feel like her calf was soaked in an ice bucket, but it was followed by a cool feeling.
The wound quickly healed, but unfortunately, it still left a shallow scar on Le Jiajia's fair and delicate skin.
"This should be fine."
Ni Cai took out a change of clothes and a spare combat suit from her spatial ring and measured them according to Le Jiajia's figure.
"Well, our figures are about the same, except that you're a little shorter than me. But your chest is bigger than mine, and your butt is fuller. I really envy you. You're so well-developed, you must be very popular with the boys," Ni Cai said.
Popular with the boys?
Le Jiajia wasn't sure. She was the descendant of the Demon King, an unlucky person in Hidden Demon City. Growing up, she had only been despised by others.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll stand guard for you in case that Xia Fan becomes a beast and peeks at you," Nicai said. It was for this reason that she hung up the curtain.
"You … Why are you so good to me?" Le Jiajia looked up at Ni Cai. "After all, you're the descendant of the Demon Slayer Clan, and I'm …"
Ni Cai was startled, and gently held Le Jiajia's beautiful face.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. So what if I'm the descendant of the Demon Slayer Clan?
"I don't know much, but I know that if it wasn't for you today, Xia Fan and I would have died in that horrible dragon's nest.
"You were like a god descending to the earth, emitting a magical light and saving me and Xia Fan.
"So from now on, you're my sister. If anyone dares to bully you, Xia Fan and I will be the first to fight!"
Ni Cai put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to stand up for Le Jiajia.
But Le Jiajia sounded a little strange. Me and Xia Fan? It seemed like Ni Cai had a vague feeling that she and Xia Fan already had some kind of relationship.
Le Jiajia changed her clothes. It was an expensive new dress that even Ni Cai was reluctant to wear. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, but had excellent elasticity and defense. It was expensive to make.
"Sister, turn around and let me see." Ni Cai's eyes lit up.
Le Jiajia followed her request and spun around in a circle. Her figure was graceful and her eyebrows were moving. She was indeed a first-class beauty.
Ni Cai pulled down the curtain and shouted, "Xia Fan, look! Le Jiajia is as beautiful as a fairy!"
However, it was dark outside, and there was no response. They had no idea where Xia Fan had gone. The two girls could not help but hold each other's hands in panic.
"That's strange. We're warriors too. Why are we like this when Xia Fan isn't here?" Nicai said in annoyance.
"Maybe it's because Big Brother Xia Fan has a special temperament. When you were in such a difficult situation, he didn't abandon you and run away," Le Jiajia said.
When she entered the viper's lair, she clearly saw Xia Fan protecting Nicai with all his might and tying her to his back.
Nicole smiled, her eyes filled with sweetness. "Yeah, why didn't I see it in the past? Xia Fan is a man of indomitable spirit. We are all girls. If only we could entrust ourselves to someone like Xia Fan who would protect us at all costs. How great would that be?"
With that, Nicai's eyes dimmed. As the successor of the Demon Slayer Clan, her marriage was not up to her.
"Entrust what?"
Suddenly …
Xia Fan's voice came from the darkness.
"No, nothing," Nicai said in a panic. "Xia Fan, where did you go?"
A black shadow flashed, and Xia Fan appeared beside them like a ghost. He was not alone. He had a skinny and short boy with him.
Nicai stared at him. It was Liang!
She could not help but feel angry. She really wanted to kill this guy who had harmed her and Xia Fan.
Xia Fan could see Nicai's anger. He pulled Liang to the side and waved his hand. "Forget it. He was forced."
"Forced?" Nicai was doubtful.
Xia Fan nodded. "Yeah. I smelled Liang's scent just now, so I followed it to find him. He was hugging his legs and crying in the dark. He was also saying your name."
"My name?" Nicai was shocked.
Xia Fan shrugged. "He probably felt bad for lying to you since you treated him so well. Anyway, he was forced. Otherwise, he would not have the guts to do it."
Xia Fan glanced at Le Jiajia and said in surprise, "Jiajia, you've become prettier."
Le Jiajia did not say anything, but she was happy to be suddenly praised by Xia Fan.
"Everyone, sit down," Xia Fan said.
He threw a bag of biscuits and a bottle of energy drink to Liang. Liang grabbed the food like a hungry beast, tore open the package and gulped it down.
For some reason, when Nicai saw this scene, she felt pity for Liang. Her hatred for him was instantly reduced by half. After all, Liang was just a child.
"Jiajia, the more I think about it, the more confused I am," Xia Fan said. Xia Fan said, "You said that you entered the mezzanine area while sleepwalking. It's such a long way from Hidden Demon City to here, but you arrived before the rescue army arrived. This doesn't seem right. Are you hiding something from me?"
Le Jiajia wanted to lie, but she could not look into Xia Fan's eyes. The man seemed to be able to see through everything. Perhaps lying to him would only make him hate her even more.
"There are indeed some things." Le Jiajia whispered, "This is not the first time I sleepwalked. In the past, I often left the dormitory at night for no reason, and when I woke up, I found that I was already very far away."
"It's just that this time, I didn't expect to come to the mezzanine area. When I opened my eyes, I saw you and Nicai trying to break out of the dragon's encirclement."
Xia Fan nodded slightly, waiting for Le Jiajia to continue.
"In addition, according to my memory, the reason why I was able to find you was because I took a special passage. That passage seemed to be in Hidden Demon City, like a never-ending slide. After I entered it, I slid down into the darkness. I kept sliding, and it took me a very, very long time, perhaps as long as a day and a night."
After that, Le Jiajia did not say anything, but Xia Fan's brain was working fast.
"Old demon dragon, did you ask Le Jiajia to save me?"
Xia Fan tried to ask the old dragon who had a spiritual connection with him, but there was no answer.
Xia Fan thought, "I lost contact with that old demon dragon again. The last time this happened, it was because of Stanley, the Flame Demon King. It seems that the Demon King and the old demon dragon are natural enemies. Once the Demon King appears, the old demon dragon will hide."
"If that's the case, Stanley is also nearby!"
"Xia Fan, hurry up and tell us," Nicai said anxiously.
Xia Fan shrugged. "We seem to have run into a puzzle."
"Puzzle?" Le Jiajia and Nicai were both surprised.
"Yes, there is a passage in Hidden Demon City that leads directly to the mezzanine area. Stanley, the Flame Demon King, also came to the mezzanine area to carry out a secret mission. This is very suspicious. Based on my experience as an investigator of the Special Task Force, I am afraid that there is a mysterious force behind this, manipulating the whole thing," Xia Fan said.
"What Special Task Force? What is an investigator? " Nicai asked in confusion. She did not know Xia Fan's past, and she did not know what Xia Fan's occupation in the Cangyue Universe was.
Cough, cough.
Xia Fan knew that he had let the cat out of the bag. He coughed and said, "It's just a kind of training. That's not the point. The point is that I feel that there are two completely different forces secretly fighting."
"One force led us into the draconic lair, wanting to destroy us, and the other force manipulated Le Jiajia to come and save us."
"This is like a chessboard. Masters are fighting, and we have become pawns in their hands."
Nicai was shocked. Le Jiajia found it hard to believe. "I was manipulated to come here to save you and Nicai?"
Yes.
Xia Fan nodded. "Everything has a cause and effect. Your arrival was too coincidental. Just when we were about to collapse, you fell from the sky. I am not a person who believes in coincidences."
"And you said yourself that in the past, when you sleepwalked, you were always in Hidden Demon City, but this time, you ran such a long way and even took a secret slide that no one knew about. If there is no problem with this, then there is really something wrong."
"So, the mysterious force manipulating Le Jiajia is ours …" Nicai said.
