"Girly, how can you treat me like this?" The minion instantly looked at her with teary eyes. "I'm being sincere. I want to give birth to a nest of eggs with you."
"…" Who wants to lay eggs for you? Is there not a single demonic beast in this world that has a normal intelligence? It's fine if she was a dragon in the past, but what's with this one?
This time, without needing Zhu Yao to flip out, Xu Nuoyan had already summoned dozens of icicles, and were fiercely stabbing at the minion. The demonic immortal fluttered his wings and dodged very pathetically. As he dodged, he even shouted at Zhu Yao. "Girly, girly, look at me!"
Zhu Yao's expression darkened.
The minion dodged a few waves of icicles, and gradually, he felt a little powerless. After all, he had just ascended, and he had even suffered a wave of tribulation lightning in the Lower Realm. He basically did not have much divine energy left. Otherwise, he wouldn't have relied on his wings to fly.
Xu Nuoyan's expression sank, as he once again summoned a wave of icicles. This time, there were more than a hundred of them.
"Hey, you who popped out of nowhere? You really have to anger grandpa, right!? " The minion was enraged. Even that pile of yellow hair that looked like weeds stood up. With a forceful flap of his wings, several hundred feathers flew out. Some turned into fireballs, and some turned into sharp swords. They attacked Xu Nuoyan.
"Hmph, you're courting death!" Xu Nuoyan's voice grew even colder. With a wave of his hand, those fireballs and sharp swords were all turned into ashes. In a flash, his figure appeared in front of the demonic immortal.
"You … How could you?" Before the demonic immortal could even react, his neck was already gripped by the other party in the next moment. He simply felt a chill instantly spreading through his entire body.
This is …
"Senior-martial brother Xu." A disciple anxiously said from behind. "The demonic immortal is about to arrive, it's not a good time to clash with him now."
Xu Nuoyan turned a deaf ear to it, as his grip tightened even more. The minion's face had already turned purplish black, as though he was about to stop breathing in the next second.
"Let him go." Zhu Yao's voice was a little cold.
Xu Nuoyan was startled. His hand stiffened for a moment, and then, he slowly let go.
The minion Demonic Immortal was still in a state of shock, as he immediately distanced himself. Pressing on his chest, he panted endlessly. When he had the time, he pitifully glanced at Zhu Yao, and then looked at Xu Nuoyan who was standing unmoving at his original spot. His figure trembled, and with a wave of his wings, he reluctantly flew away.
"Yu Yao, he was the one who was rude to you first …" Xu Nuoyan's smile was still the same as before, though it was now a little stiff.
Zhu Yao simply looked at him, and did not speak.
Instead, a disciple at the side came over. "Senior Brother Xu, Junior Sister, it's not good to stay here for long. Let's quickly leave."
"You two go first, we will follow right after." Zhu Yao replied, yet her eyes were still looking at Xu Nuoyan in front of her.
The disciple hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still rode her sword and left with the others. Not long later, other than her and Xu Nuoyan, everyone else had left.
"Earlier, I only wanted to protect you." Xu Nuoyan said softly, his tone carrying a hint of apprehension.
"…"
"He's just a demonic beast."
"…"
"If you don't like it, I won't kill him." His expression was a little panicked, as if he wanted to explain something to her.
"…"
"Yu Yao, you're … angry?"
Zhu Yao let out a deep sigh, and for a moment, she was even looking down on her own intelligence a little. She was really motherf * cking slow at coming online.
"Yue Ying!"
His expression instantly paled, and his hands lightly trembled for a few moments. After a long while, he finally let out a light laugh, and sighed faintly. "Big sis Yao, you're still so smart."
When his words fell, his face twisted a few times, and slowly, it turned into another face, one that was familiar yet foreign at the same time. The smile on his face was still as gentle as the wind.
As expected, it was him! She had always felt that there was something off with Xu Nuoyan today, but she had never thought of Yue Ying. Only when he used that familiar move to grab the minion earlier, did she finally confirm it.
Zhu Yao frowned. Looking at the person in front of her, she once again sighed. "Where's Xu Nuoyan?"
Yue Ying's smile deepened a little, as he stared straight at her without blinking. "Didn't Big Sis Yao dislike him?"
"You killed him."
Yue Ying did not reply, and simply looked at her with a smile.
Zhu Yao suddenly felt that she did not recognize the person in front of her. Just when did it start, that child who only knew how to keep a wooden face, had already learned to use a smile to conceal his own emotions.
"Big sis Yao …" Yue Ying suddenly walked towards her, one step at a time. He was not riding on a sword, but was walking in the air. With every step he took, a black lotus would bloom beneath his feet. With every step he took, a black lotus would bloom beneath his feet.
He stopped a step away from her, and slowly reached out his hand. Just like how he did when she was young, he hugged onto her waist tightly without a single gap. "Big sis Yao, Yue Ying misses you so much. He misses you so much …"
His voice was very soft, and carried a hint of longing, as though he was a child who had found his parents. Zhu Yao's heart softened for no reason, yet, she had no choice but to harden her heart and ask. "Yue Ying, are you a Devil?"
She felt the hands that were circling around her stiffen for an instant, before tightening again a moment later. He buried his head into the side of her neck and rubbed against it. "I'm big sis' Yue Ying, and I will always be."
"Yue Ying …" Zhu Yao suddenly felt a deep sense of helplessness. "You're a Devil." This time, it was not a question, but a confirmation.
He hugged her even tighter, as though he was avoiding something. "If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to find big sis. Big sis was the one who said it … You told me to wait for you, and that you would return immediately. But, I waited, waited … I waited for a very, very long time, yet, you never returned. So, Yue Ying could only look for you. "
Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, as she faintly recalled that she had indeed said such words before.
"You're looking for me just to vent your anger by killing me?" It seemed like the one who killed her back then, was really him.
"Of course not." Yue Ying released her, his face was clearly filled with panic and regret. "Back then … I didn't know, I didn't know that was Big Sis Yao. You changed your appearance, so Yue Ying didn't recognize you. "
"Back then, you clearly asked me if I was Yu Yan's disciple."
"I … I thought you were Sovereign Yu Yan's new disciple." Yue Ying lowered his head, and his words were filled with nervousness. "Hasn't Big Sis Yao always been very happy that you're the only disciple of Jade Forest Mountain? Big sis is unique, so even in the Higher Realm, even if he's big sis's master, he can't have any other disciples. "A hint of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes.
Zhu Yao subconsciously took a step back.
Sensing her resistance, Yue Ying's expression instantly collapsed. Anxious and flustered, he stared straight into her eyes, as though he was extremely afraid that she would reveal a look of disgust. Just like when he was young, he would tug onto the corner of her robe whenever he was nervous, and look at her pitifully. "Big Sis Yao … Don't be angry."
"I am indeed angry."
"…" The luster in his eyes instantly dimmed, and the hand which was grabbing onto the corner of her robe slightly trembled.
"But I'm angry at myself."
He raised his head in an instant, and his face was filled with confusion.
Zhu Yao sighed deeply. She really could not blame him for anything. Though, she would rather he was someone who looked like Yue Ying, a vicious and merciless pure Devil. Then, her emotions would not be this complicated.
She did not even have the qualifications to blame him for anything. He came to the Higher Realm because of her, and from his tone, he came to the Higher Realm because he turned into a Devil. However, he did all of this to look for her.
He was born in such a unique situation, and no one had even looked forward to his birth. Even though she had entrusted him to little radish, with his aptitude of penta spirit veins, in a world where the weak were prey to the strong, and where the strong were respected, it could be imagined just how difficult it was for him to survive.
That was why he viewed her as his only support. Though she had saved him, she had never spent any effort to teach him. As the saying goes, it's the father's fault for not teaching his child.
Right now, she deeply regretted it. Back then, when she was able to guide little radish, why did she never put a single thought into Yue Ying? Was it because he wasn't a bug?
If she wanted to teach him now, would it be too late?
"Yue Ying, I'm sorry."
He instantly smiled. That pure and innocent smile that did not contain the slightest bit of impurities. "Yue Ying will never blame Big Sis Yao."
"Haah …" Zhu Yao instantly felt a sense of guilt as though she had ruined a good youth. What should she do now? Could he still change back?
"Big sis." He once again leaned over, his eyes were filled with attachment, as though he had found his pillar of support. "Don't leave Yue Ying again, alright?"
"I want some peace and quiet." She suddenly did not know how to sort out this mess.
"I won't let Big Sis Yao leave again." His voice instantly sank, and his tone was as stubborn as a child throwing a tantrum.
"Yue Ying, let me think about it, alright?"
"Because I'm a Devil, Big Sis Yao doesn't want me anymore?"
"No."
"Then big sis, are you going to kill me?" His hand that was grabbing onto the corner of her clothes, instantly tightened. Black smoke leaked out from his hand, and the snow-white corner of her clothes instantly turned into ashes.
"Yue Ying!" Zhu Yao was dumbfounded.
However, he reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. The smile on his face grew even gentler, yet Zhu Yao felt a hint of coldness seeping out from that smile. "You can't, Big Sis Yao. I've finally found you, you can't abandon Yue Ying again."
"Yue Ying, let me go first!" This child, why did he flip out in just a few sentences? After so many years had passed, not only did his Oedipus complex not recover, it had even worsened!
This was an illness, it had to be treated!
His grip tightened even more, and Zhu Yao felt as though her waist was about to snap. "If I let go, big sis will abandon me again."
"Yue Ying." Zhu Yao was a little afraid at that moment. The devilish aura faintly leaking out from his body made her feel exceptionally uncomfortable, causing the divine energy in her entire body to automatically defend against it. Only then did she truly feel that he was a true Devil. She almost could not hold it in any longer, and instinctively summoned heavenly lightning bolts to attack him.
However … This was Yue Ying, the child she had personally saved.
Yue Ying once again buried his head into the side of her neck, as though he had fallen into an obsession, his voice trembled as he repeated. "Big Sis Yao won't leave, Big Sis Yao won't leave …"
Zhu Yao couldn't push him away, and he wouldn't listen to her either. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
