Chapter 958: Determination
When she heard this news, Su Yan was also stunned.
After a long while, she finally sorted out her emotions and spoke in a very casual tone with the same smile that didn't make others feel burdened.
"Why did I see him? Isn't he already a demon?"
As soon as she said this, she laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That's right, he's a demon. You just went out to fight the demons, so how could you not see him?"
Her tone was calm as she answered her own question.
Ye Zichen watched her force herself to smile. For a long time, he just looked at her without saying anything.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Yan blinked, then arched her brows and smiled. "You can't possibly think I'd fall for him, right? I'm not as weak as you think I am."
It was the same smile that didn't make anyone feel burdened. People who weren't familiar with her might not be able to tell, but Ye Zichen could.
The curve of her lips and the way her eyes narrowed.
It was as if she'd gone through hundreds of thousands of rounds of training. It was a fixed pattern.
"Is that really what you think?"
Ye Zichen looked at Su Yan for a while, then couldn't help but ask.
"That's right." Su Yan nodded confidently. "Su Yiyun really is my big brother in the Modern Realm, and he treats me extremely well. If we'd stayed in the Modern Realm, he might've always been my doting big brother. It's just that this isn't the Modern Realm, and he's no longer my doting big brother. "
"We'll go back sooner or later."
Returning to the Modern Realm had always been Ye Zichen's goal. No matter what, this wasn't their final destination.
"No need to force yourself." Su Yan smiled and shook her head. "I actually feel pretty good here. My Modern Realm friends are here, and so is my lover. Besides, if we really go back, I don't know how to explain it. "
"Explain what?" Ye Zichen didn't understand.
"Where did Su Yiyun go?" Su Yan tilted her head and panted. "He's my uncle's only precious son. If he asks me, what should I say? Am I supposed to tell him that he went to the demons and became their personal formation grandmaster? That wouldn't be good, would it? "
Su Yan tried her best to use a playful tone, and even stuck out her tongue after speaking. She giggled, not wanting to distract Ye Zichen.
She was very timid.
Even now, she was still not used to everything here.
Su Liu'er and Su Zhu treated her very well and treated her like a little princess. But to her, this was not her home.
However, she didn't want her cowardice to affect Ye Zichen. No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that the man in her heart was shouldering far too many burdens, enough to crush anyone.
She didn't want to be a burden on him, a burden on his shoulders.
Sometimes, she really envied Xia Keke. She was always so carefree and silly. It was as if she had never worried, nor would she let others worry for her.
Little did she know, Ye Zichen was far too familiar with her. How could he not know what she was thinking?
"That's true."
Ye Zichen didn't want to expose Su Yan's pretense, so he smiled at her, but his gaze remained resolute.
"We still have to go back."
"Mm. No matter where we go, I'll just follow you." Su Yan smiled sweetly, then rubbed the hem of her clothes. "My big brother …. Su Yiyun, has he really thrown in his lot with the demons?"
"That's right."
In the face of Su Yan's probing question, Ye Zichen's answer left no room for doubt.
"In the ambush just now, we could've dealt with even more demons. That would've been even more helpful in our subsequent battles. However, his appearance stopped the demons from suffering any losses. If I wasn't sure before, now I'm absolutely certain: he's truly thrown in with the demons. "
"That's truly a pity," sighed Su Yan. Then her expression grew solemn. "When the time comes, when you fight, you absolutely mustn't show any mercy. Since you've already confirmed that he's truly thrown in with the demons, you should let go of your old feelings."
"I will."
Ye Zichen sat on the ground, clenched his fists, and furrowed his brows.
"When the time comes, I definitely won't show any mercy. No one can stop me from seizing the future. Even if Ol 'Three stands in my way, I'll deal with him myself."
"That's good. I'm relieved to hear that." Su Yan smiled and nodded. She put her hand to her forehead and looked up at the clouds. "I won't disturb you any longer. See you?"
"Alright."
"When the time comes, you absolutely mustn't show any mercy. Got it?"
As if she was afraid that Ye Zichen would forget, Su Yan repeated herself with a tense expression before she left.
"I will."
When she saw Ye Zichen nod, she finally turned and left. However, the moment she turned around, her shoulders trembled, and the warm smile on her face became especially lonely.
"I'm sorry."
Ye Zichen watched Su Yan leave. He muttered to himself, then his gaze grew cold.
"I can't show mercy, and I have no way of holding back. Even if he's …. Su Yiyun."
The vast demon army swept through the sky. By now, there was no longer any sorrow in their eyes.
A great battle was imminent. Even if Black Dragon hadn't lectured them, they knew they couldn't let their emotions get the better of them.
Gu Li stood at the front of the army, shoulder to shoulder with Black Dragon. However, he'd felt a chill run down his spine the entire time.
"I never would have guessed that the Beast Region would only ambush us in the valley. We didn't encounter any more ambushes along the way."
At that moment, Gu Li suddenly spoke up. Black Dragon glanced at him coolly and snorted.
"Could it be that you want more?"
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, you're too sensitive," Gu Li shrugged helplessly. Gu Li shrugged helplessly. "They didn't ambush us again. It seems they've decided to directly fight us to the death."
"Brother Gu Li, you don't need to remind me of that, do you?"
Black Dragon replied indifferently, then arched his brows.
"We're about to reach the heart of the Beast Region, but I haven't seen any of your subordinates along the way. You're not planning on letting us deal with the Beast Region alone, so you can sit back and reap the benefits, are you? "
"How is that possible? Since we're working together, there's no way I'd do something like that. Your Excellency, Black Dragon, you've mobilized all your forces. Naturally, my subordinates will join the battle as well. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Dragon saw a swarm of black figures approaching from the distance.
There were three more figures in front of them. Before long, they saw them speeding towards Gu Li's location.
"Your Excellency, Gu Li."
They were none other than Jiangchen, Hanba, and Houqing of the Zombie Progenitors. Behind them was an endless horde of bloodthirsty zombies.
Gu Li nodded at them, then turned to Black Dragon and smiled.
