The more Li Chengfeng looked at the innocent and mischievous Su Yuehan, the more he loved her, and the more his heart ached.
He couldn't imagine what kind of sorrow and betrayal such a girl who was as pure as an elf had gone through to finally cross the Blood Pool of Nine Hells with monstrous hatred and deep-rooted hatred, selling her soul to the King of Hell of the Ninth Underworld and transforming into a Demon King!
In the past hundred years, in order to find the truth and seek revenge, she had taken revenge on the world. She had accumulated so much blood that she finally became a Thousand-faced Demon!
Li Chengfeng did not know what had happened that prevented him from saving her in time, causing her to die at the hands of the Demon King. But he knew that this time, he had to change everything, he had to make it up to her!
He couldn't watch this innocent and naive girl walk on that terrifying and bloody path again.
He stroked her hair and said in a low voice, "This time, I won't let you get hurt!"
She froze when she heard his voice. She looked up at him in shock and stuttered, "Ah, big guy, you lied to me, you're not a mute!
Y-y-you, I've known you for so many days and you've been pretending to be a mute!
You're not a good person, I-I-I don't want to play with you anymore! "
Li Chengfeng smiled at her. "I never told you I was a mute."
She said angrily, "You're a Aba Aba Aba!
And you're saying you're not a mute? "
Li Chengfeng almost laughed out loud. "Aba Aba Aba means mute, right?
Plus, I was injured earlier, I can't speak, what's so strange about that? "
Yuehan felt that it made sense, but she was still a little unhappy. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
Why did you lie to me?
Let me tell you, I hate it when people lie to me! "
Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. When he heard her last sentence, he thought, 'Looks like she's someone who values promises a lot!'
Li Chengfeng suddenly recalled the time when he and Yuehan were in danger in Shiwu Mountain. Shiwu Mountain had collapsed and Yuehan had gone to retrieve the spirit crystals for him. Li Chengfeng had promised her that he would wait for her here. When she did not see Li Chengfeng when she returned, her face had turned pale. However, when she saw that Li Chengfeng had returned as promised, she almost cried.
Now that he had the proof, Li Chengfeng immediately understood and felt even more sorry for her.
But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
He knew that he wasn't a person who would go back on his word, nor was he a cold-hearted person. He loved Yuehan deeply. If she was in danger, no matter what the situation was, he would never ignore her.
If he did not get there in time, something must have stopped her!
But what kind of power was this? What was the reason behind it?
Li Chengfeng frowned as he pondered. Yuehan pretended to be angry so that he would coax her. But after a while, she turned to see him with his head lowered and his brows furrowed. Flustered, she immediately pulled his sleeve and shook it gently. "Alright, alright, you're a man too, why are you so petty? You're even more petty than a girl!
It's fine as long as I apologize to you!
How would I know why you're not talking? You've been helping the Su family for seven days, what's so strange about people thinking you're mute? "
Li Chengfeng snapped out of his daze and smiled at her. "Nothing, I just remembered something. Let's go, I'll send you home."
Yuehan tugged his hand happily. "Alright, I'll show my father if you're really a demon!
Hehe! "
Li Chengfeng grinned. "Aren't you afraid that I really am a demon?"
Yuehan studied him and giggled. "Even if you're a demon, you must be a good one!"
Li Chengfeng teased her. "Are there good and bad demons?
Don't you know Daqi's laws? Conspiring with demons is equivalent to committing treason, your entire family will be executed! "
Yuehan made a face at him. "If you're a demon, you wouldn't report yourself!
If you're not, then you're just trying to scare me!
Plus, there are so many bad humans in this world, why can't there be one good demon?
If I become a demon in the future, I'll be the good one! "
Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. "I won't let you become like that!
I swear! "
Yuehan looked at him in confusion, feeling shy and sweet inside. She was almost suffocating in his embrace. After a while, she struggled and whimpered, "Big guy, you … you're suffocating me to death!"
Li Chengfeng snapped out of his daze and let go. "I'll protect you from now on!"
Yuehan grinned and stuck out her pinky. "Pinky swear!"
Li Chengfeng smiled and hooked his pinky with hers. They smiled sweetly at each other.
The two of them continued walking. Yuehan walked with her hands behind her back, bouncing up and down as she asked, "Big guy, I'll take you to a fun place when we get back!"
"Eh, you're not going?
How could you be so boring!
Are you coming or not?
Oh … come with me then!
Huh?
You're not willing?
Then I'll go with you, alright?
You'll have to go sooner or later!
There are only a few interesting places here. Maybe if you go there, you'll find something more interesting than these interesting places?
Hehe! "
"Big guy, are your parents still here?
Where are they from? "
"Big guy, how old are you this year?
Which sect is this cultivator from? "
"Big guy, I don't even know your name yet. What's your name?"
Li Chengfeng did not have time to reply to her questions. When she finally managed to say something, he smiled and said, "I'm Li Chengfeng …"
She did not wait for him to finish. She suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed happily, "Oh my, we're home!"
Yuehan sprinted towards the Su Residence, cheering as she ran, "Dad, Mom!
I'm back! "
The Su Residence was decorated with lanterns and colourful banners. A long row of luxurious carriages was parked at the entrance but there was no one there.
Yuehan was puzzled. When she came to the entrance, the door was wide open. Lanterns hung high, red paper and golden calligraphy were placed at the entrance. It was a festive atmosphere but there was no one there.
Yuehan ran inside and yelled, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
When Li Chengfeng saw this, he had a bad feeling. He quickened his pace to catch up to Yuehan and followed her into the main hall.
When he entered the hall, he saw Yuehan's parents and all the servants in the Su Residence squeezed in the hall. They looked fearfully at a man dressed in black standing in the middle of the hall. The man was dressed in a long robe. When he heard the commotion behind him, he suddenly turned his head.
Li Chengfeng's heart sank to the bottom when he saw it!
The man in black was wearing a hood. When he turned his head, the evil eyes in the black mist flowing out of the hood suddenly lit up.
The man laughed evilly. "I thought I'd meet a fellow cultivator here, I didn't think … I'd meet a woman of destiny with the Heart of Seven Artefacts!
The heavens are on my side, hahahaha! "
