《The Holy Princess Escaped Again》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Yao Yao, how can I let you live in your current state?¡± Qu Yao was covered in blood as she stood on the roof. The entire street was littered with corpses, and hundreds of immortals surrounded her. Each of them held a sword, and their expressions were stern as they glared at Qu Yao, who was only eight years old and standing on the roof. Her eyes were red, and her golden snake tail swayed slightly. Qu Yao sobbed as she questioned, ¡°Why must I die? I¡¯m not a monster, and I have no desire to kill anyone. Those people made me do it!¡± ¡°Sister, I beg you, please let them let me go, okay? Please save me.¡± Her sobs had made her voice hoarse. ¡°Three years ago, I became like this because I wanted to save you. Tell them the truth, and they will definitely believe you.¡± Suddenly, she was startled to hear a secret voice that only she could hear. It was her sister¡¯s voice. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous, my dear sister. ¡°That day, I purposefully asked you to look at the stars and then fell into the water. Only then would I be able to curse you. I didn¡¯t expect everyone to believe my story about you being half-human and half-beast. ¡°You don¡¯t know, do you? When you were born, the thousand-year-old locust tree in the backyard was struck by lightning and killed. Your mother died because it was extremely difficult for her to give birth to you, your father died of depression, and there was a three-year drought throughout the city. It was all because of you! You are a monster, a catastrophe that must be eradicated.¡± Qu Yao noticed her sister flash an imperceptible smile. Her previously painful heart had died the moment she realised the truth. Who should she despise? Should she despise the heavens for not allowing her to live happily? Or despise her sister¡¯s animosity toward her? Qu Yao was five when saved her ten-year-old sister, but in the end, she was the one who turned into a monster that everyone wanted to beat up. Her sister pretended to be sympathetic and attempted to persuade her ¡°Don¡¯t be so stubborn, sister. All of the people you killed were innocent. I believe these immortals will let you live as long as you return to the demon-locking well.¡± The immortals and the crowd around her started shouting at her to stop struggling pointlessly. No matter how hard she tried, her sin would only deepen. Only her death could restore peace to the entire city¡­ and only then could the innocent dead souls be appeased. ¡°Innocent?¡± Qu Yao began laughing coldly, then changed to a wretched laugh. Finally, she threw her head back and burst out laughing. Her wretched laughing reverberated throughout the city, which terrified the folks below, causing their hair to stand on end and cold sweat to break out. If she spare these people¡¯s lives, who would save hers? Who would compensate her for the humiliation and pain she had endured for three years at the bottom of the well? Why did the entire city have to sacrifice her three years ago to the statue of the god of light in the temple? She was not willing. Why did the god who required human sacrifice not count as evil, but the five-year-old her became a monster that everyone wanted to beat because of her snake tail? She swept the entire temple with her snake tail at the time. She was the one who knocked down the statue and destroyed the temple. Those who knew how to subdue demons and remove evil spirits later came from everywhere to kill her and imprisoned her in the dry well for three years. During those three years, she was pelted with 53,941 pebbles and soaked in urine 658 times. Sharp weapons, rotten food, stinky saliva¡­ she couldn¡¯t count the humiliations she¡¯d endured. She only remembered how painful the transition from five to eight years old was. ¡°They¡¯re not guilty, but am I?¡± Qu Yao paused in her wild laughter and asked sternly, ¡°Do I deserve to die simply because I am different from others? Why should I be pursued by these so-called innocent individuals with knives?¡± People found it difficult to open their eyes due to the scorching sun. Qu Yao had the feeling she was about to burn. The smell of blood filled her throat. With the last of her strength, Qu Yao shouted to the people surrounding her, ¡°You want me to let them go, but I want everyone in the city to die with me!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a cloud of black smoke erupted from Qu Yao¡¯s body. Her body shot into the air, and her snake tail grew in size, as huge as a mountain range, crushing all the houses. Her tail swept mercilessly through the streets, causing countless people and buildings to be thrown all over the place at the same time, and screams could be heard everywhere. Hundreds of immortals flew into the air, encircling Qu Yao in the center, who had gone crazy. Their swords rained down on Qu Yao like rain, but they were all swept away by her massive tail. Qu Yao was stained with too much blood, as she absorbed the resentment of thousands of dead while killing. She morphed from half-human to half-beast to demon in an instant. Someone screamed in terror, ¡°She¡¯s turned into a demon! She¡¯s turned into a demon! Kill her!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The immortals who surrounded Qu Yao were all seriously injured before long. The entire city was splattered with blood. They began to send signals to the god of war, requesting assistance. Qu Yao had completely lost her sense of self. Her soul was filled with rage. Death and bloodshed had long been regarded as unimportant. Her only wish was to kill everyone and die with the rest of the city. Suddenly, a golden light erupted out of nowhere in the previously blood-red sky. The golden light pierced Qu Yao¡¯s bloodshot eyes. Her vision went black in an instant. Her body began to fall as she felt herself being forced out by a great force. She drifted into the darkness as the burning sunlight faded away. Her body became numbed as the temperature dropped, and she eventually passed out. When Qu Yao opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by a circle of monsters with fangs. These monsters had their mouths open, ready to tear her apart and eat her. During the Battle of Tongcheng, she had expended all of her strength. Furthermore, she had been hurt by the sudden flash of golden light. She had almost no strength to fight back against these monsters. Her snake tail trembled a little nervously. Qu Yao believed she was born with a rebellious streak. She would not wait to be eaten by the monsters, no matter how terrified she felt. She would find a scapegoat even if she was going to die. She swung her snake tail with all her might. Those monsters roared and rushed up. A cloud of black smoke descended from the sky and swallowed her. The entire city suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Those fighting thought Atlas, the god of war, had arrived to assist them. They had no idea it was Bai Yihe, the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the god of Light. Bai Yihe stood at the apex of the sky, looking down on all living things. He sent Qu Yao into the demonic world with a wave of his sleeve. ¡°I have already sent the demoness into the demon world.¡± She is severely injured and will almost certainly die in a place like the demon world. You are not required to pursue this matter any further. ¡°All those who died in vain will be reborn and enter the cycle of reincarnation.¡± I¡¯ll ask Lord Siming to make the necessary arrangements. The remaining immortals will return to their respective locations to keep the peace.¡± The god of light had appeared for the first time in a thousand years. When the human or demon worlds encountered difficult-to-deal-with demons, it was usually the other gods who dealt with them. Nobody expected a small half-human half-beast to startle the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Bai Yihe used his palm cast a soft golden light over Tongcheng, and the dead vanished. Thousands of buildings were instantly restored, and even the blood that flowed in the streets vanished. All the immortals and mortals knelt and bowed to Bai Yihe, and then, amid the crowd¡¯s grateful applause, Bai Yihe vanished into a beam of golden light in the sky. Fifteen years later. In the Demon World. ¡°Yao Yao, have you thought about it? Are you really going to leave the Demon World?¡± ¡°Yao Yao, we can¡¯t bear to part with you!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± The faceless ghost next to Qu Yao was slapped away by a man in a black cloak. ¡°Is this the most important consideration? Whatever Yao Yao wishes to do, we will support her. Why can¡¯t you let go of her?¡± The man adjusted his cloak¡¯s collar and said quietly, ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want you to leave, baby. It¡¯s just that no one can leave the demon world yet.¡± He raised his voice and exuded confidence. ¡°However! All the evil spirits and demonic beasts in the demon world will support you as long as it is something you want to do, not to mention the tens of thousands of demons in my demon den! Even if we die, we will assist you in devising a plan to leave the Demon World!¡± Qu Yao took the wine on the table, raised her head, and drank two mouthfuls before patting the man on the shoulder to comfort him, ¡°Shadow, you are the Demon World¡¯s ancestor after all. Can you stop saying over and over again about whether you¡¯re dead or alive every day? I¡¯m just trying it out. If I can¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll come back. Just think of it as taking in the scenery.¡± Shadow clenched his fists and massaged Qu Yao¡¯s back gently. ¡°Yao Yao, the demon world¡¯s border is an endless desert. Nobody can get out, and getting lost is especially easy. I don¡¯t want you to put your life in danger for vengeance.¡± Shadow had saved Qu Yao from the mouth of the Demon Beast and raised her in the demon world since the day she arrived. She thought she had arrived at a place of certain death at first, but she had no idea it would be her final retreat. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qu Yao had often imagined that if she had a group of people who loved her as much as the demons in the demon world, she would not have turned out this way. Why did the will of God give her hope and love after she had been immersed in hatred and her heart had died? She grew up in this gloomy environment despite the fact that the people who loved her were all ugly looking demons. Following her arrival in the demon world, she grew addicted to alcohol. She¡¯d wake up in the middle of the night, wailing as she battled the hideous monsters that encircled her. None of these hideous monsters retaliated. She hid in a dark nook alone when she was exhausted. She didn¡¯t eat or drink for a month or more when she first arrived in the demon world. After all, there was no such thing as day and night in the demon world. There was nothing but darkness and faintly dancing wisp. These demons were hideous, but they were inexplicably nice to her. To express her dissatisfaction, she requested that Shadow, the demon world¡¯s founder, bring her a large amount of wine from the netherworld. She started getting drunk all day and carried the wine flask around killing ghosts. She was only eight years old, but she already had the makings of a venerable demon. The more ghosts she murdered, the happier Shadow¡¯s and his followers became. They applauded, as though their daughter had won first place in the exam. Nobody knew where Shadow originated. They just knew he strutted into the sky a thousand years ago, proclaiming that he would slay all the gods in the world and unite the three worlds as the demon king. In the end, this demon king was haughty for less than a year until the god of light chased him to the end of the wilderness. From then on, this location was known as the Demon World. The demon world grew stronger as more demons fleeing the gods sought refuge there; yet, for some reason, those who entered the demon realm could no longer leave. Who would have thought that when the Shadow that destroyed the entire divine realm and caused a torrent of blood to flow in the human world was confronted with Qu Yao¡¯s adorable face, he would often ask, ¡°Oh, my baby Yao Yao, what do you want to eat? Is it the ghost on the second story or the guy next door? In Mount Spirit Beast¡¯s river, there is a thousand-year-old mermaid. Is it okay if I roast it for you?¡± Qu Yao, who had just arrived in the demon world, was in a foul mood. She raised her little foot and mercilessly kicked the Demon World¡¯s patriarch¡¯s big hand away. ¡°Forget about eating! I want to drink alcohol! You¡¯re also too ugly! Cover your face, you terrified me!¡± From then on, the arrogant Shadow began wearing a cloak every day. ¡°Oh, my sweet Lolli, what color of little dress do you want to wear? I¡¯ll have the firewood-chopping granny sew it for you right away.¡± Qu Yao lay down mercilessly while holding the wine jug. ¡°Forget about wearing a dress! I need to sleep!¡± The firewood-chopping granny seemed to be someone who chopped firewood for a living, but it was actually because she liked to chop off people¡¯s heads and eat them when she was in the human world. She was given this name after being sent to the demon world, and even the old granny had forgotten what her real name was. A hundred sets of clothes for Little Qu Yao were made in three days by the firewood-chopping granny. However, the granny hadn¡¯t sewn anything in hundreds of years. Her craftsmanship was dreadful, and her aesthetic sense was bizarre. She was either wearing brightly colored tights or ragged clothes. She ran around with a wine decanter in her hand. She would rush up and fight those evil spirits and demons whom she despised. She was like a miniature doll in front of the huge demons, killing and screaming, ¡°So ugly! ¡°You¡¯re so ugly!¡± It wasn¡¯t just the clothes¡­ these demons were even uglier than the last one. She suspected she had stumbled upon the scene of the heinous competition. She grew up surrounded by a swarm of extremely ugly demons. She never forgot, however, to exact revenge on her sister. She would drink and cultivate every day. She only hoped that one day she would be able to kill her sister with her own hands, and that she would be able to kill the immortals who surrounded her. It had been fifteen years, and everyone had told her that she would never be able to leave the demon world. But she still wanted to go out. She was not willing to remain in the dark until her death; she wanted to make everyone who had wronged her pay! Finally, she saw the golden light that had transported her to the demon realm in her dream one day. Not only that, but she also noticed a gleaming sword in the distance. She realized she had indeed split open the demon world¡¯s entrance with this sword. She chose to set foot on the way to the human realm after waking up from the dream, believing it was a sign from heaven. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The border of the demon world, the wilderness. The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Qu Yao had been walking in the desert for quite some time when she heard a loud noise. Everything in front of her went black, and she lost consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, Qu Yao heard a distant sound. It was like a distant cloud becoming nearer and fainter, which appeared to be moving toward her ears. As she struggled to open her eyes, a beam of golden light pierced her like a sharp blade. She endured the discomfort and clearly saw a shadow from the source of light. The man was tall and slender. With his index finger, he reached out his hand and gently tapped the space between her brows. When the golden light brightened again just as she was about to see the man¡¯s face clearly, she instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, everything had vanished. The sky was dark. This was the first time she saw stars after entering the demon world. The stars twinkled faintly like icicles in the sky, bright enough to make Qu Yao feel heartache. Stars¡­ At the time, her sister initially tricked her into looking at the stars, then cursed her, and she became a half-human half-beast that everyone yelled at. She sighed and gazed up at the starry sky. The laughter in her throat gradually choked, and the tears in the corners of her eyes slid down the desert. After a while, she wiped the tears off her face contemptuously and let out an unconcerned lament. She could not, however, die no matter how hard the torments were. Even the netherworld didn¡¯t seem willing to take her in. She pondered coldly. How could there be a place in heaven or earth that Qu Yao couldn¡¯t visit if she could take control of the demon world? She felt the blood in her body boiling, and she held something in her hands. Her body¡¯s energy directed her to raise that object in her hands. It was a blood-red sword. Ebony and blood-red qi lingered around the sword. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn¡¯t stop trembling. Surging power continued to rush toward her heart. This power and the sword in her hand were in perfect harmony. The world changed in the blink of an eye. In the pitch-black night sky, a strange red colour began to appear. Even the stars began to gravitate toward Qu Yao. She couldn¡¯t control the force in her body anymore. She screamed at the dark sky. Her voice shook thousands of kilometres of desert. The sand was like thousands of drumbeats hitting the drum¡¯s surface. The nebula in the sky erupted and scattered into the globe, shaking the demon world and the heavenly realm. The human world¡¯s mountains and rivers also crumbled. The various celestial gods sensed the changes in the world. They were alarmed and panicked. Some of them gathered together to ask what had happened. The Divine Lord of Star Constellation ran to the God of Destiny¡¯s Hall in tears. He began to yell before entering the door, ¡°Who shook the world and messed up my astrolabe!! All of my stars have fallen into the human world! People have now been crushed to death by the stars in many places. There are also numerous places on fire!¡± The God of Destiny held the fate of all life on the planet in his hands. As a result, as long as a person¡¯s life defied logic, everyone would naturally seek him out. His expression was also not pleasant at the time. ¡°What should come, can¡¯t be avoided in the end!¡± he said as he shook his head and gazed at the deity of light¡¯s palace. The Divine Lord of Star Constellationwas confused. ¡°Who wants to come?¡± He followed God of Destiny¡¯s gaze and discovered that the God of Light had actually walked out of the hall. He pointed in surprise at the God of light and stammered for a long time, unable to speak. The God of Destiny pressed his excited hand down. ¡°I didn¡¯t see wrongly. He¡¯s out.¡± When the Divine Lord of Star Constellation was nervous, he would stutter. Even if he was just babbling for a while, only the God of Destiny in the heavenly human world could accurately understand what he wanted to say. The God of Light they mentioned was Bai Xihe, the Lord of All Gods. He was the creator and the source of all life in the universe. He was the first god of light to appear after the separation of heaven and earth, so he held supreme power. Another crack erupted in the sky before everyone could recover from Bai Xihe¡¯s retreat. At the boundary of the demon world, a blood-red light pierced the wilderness. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The blood-red light was emitted by the God and Demon Sword. It almost split the heaven and earth in half and mercilessly shattered the palaces of all the gods. At the same time, violent earthquakes and tsunamis also appeared in the human world. The demon world had always been dark. It was a place that light had never favoured. At that moment, the red light also appeared. It was like a layer of red gauze that had been laid down, causing the entire demon world, which was frightened, to be shocked. Shadow raised his head sadly. His eyes were filled with tears as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was asking the scarlet sky, ¡°Yao Yao, are you¡­okay now?¡± A beam of blood-red sword light stirred up everything in the world. Even Qu Yao herself did not expect that the sword she could not control for a moment actually hacked open the gate of the demon world. Her hair fluttered messily in the wind, and her fingertips trembled as she stroked the plants that appeared in front of her. She squatted down with tears streaming down her face and used all her strength to smell the fragrance of the wildflowers on the ground. It was a scent unique to the human world. She had come out. After staying in the demon world for fifteen years, she had finally¡­finally returned! After the excitement, she clenched the sword in her hand tightly, and her eyes were scarlet and vicious. She raised her eyes to look at the distant blank space, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an evil smile. ¡°Sister, I haven¡¯t seen you for so many years. I miss you so much.¡± She looked at her snake tail, ¡°I haven¡¯t changed. What about you?¡± Qu Yao didn¡¯t expect that her appearance would shake heaven and earth. She had been aggressive and desired vengeance, but she was surrounded by a swarm of evil spirits shortly after exiting the Devil World. ¡°Hand over the God and Devil Sword in your hand!¡± The leader of the evil spirit had green eyes, and saliva slowly flowed out of its fangs, leaving a long silver thread. Qu Yao turned her neck and looked at the sword in her hand. ¡°I¡¯ve walked for so long, it¡¯s time to exercise my muscles and bones.¡± The evil spirit was angered by Qu Yao¡¯s lazy tone and rushed over without saying a word. In their eyes, Qu Yao was just a little girl, and the wind would blow her down. Therefore, only two of the weakest evil spirits rushed over. Qu Yao just happened to want to try the newly picked sword. The sword¡¯s hilt rotated in her hand, and a red light flashed from the blade. Not only did the two evil spirits rush over, but all the evil spirits in their wake were instantly turned to ashes. ¡°Ha!¡± She chuckled. ¡°It looks like this is not trash.¡± It was this group of evil spirits that did not know what was good for them. It had been a long time since she had seen something so eager to die. The sky was grey and the moon was no longer shining. Only one or two stars were still struggling to shine. It was almost dawn on earth. She walked out of the forest in a refreshed manner and walked along the barren village to ask the passers-by about the direction of Tongcheng. It was not easy for her to meet a person who knew the way, but she stopped him domineeringly. ¡°Hey! Old man! How Do I get to Tongcheng?¡± It was strange. Along the way, all the people who were asked about Tongcheng by Qu Yao fled in panic as if they had encountered a plague. Only this old man did not flee; he even had a kind expression on his face as he patiently told her, ¡°Tongcheng is a long way away.¡± Continue on this road through the village. Tongcheng¡¯s city gate can be seen three hundred metres to the west.¡± Qu Yao did not thank him. She simply waved her hand and strode forward. After taking two steps, she kicked away the innocent stones in the middle of the road and then flew out with a focused mind. What was the point of walking? It¡¯s time to fly! A red meteor streaked across the sky. People raised their heads and shouted, ¡°Look, look! There¡¯s a red meteor in broad daylight!¡± All the gods could feel the overbearing spiritual power streaking across the sky. The immortal cultivators and dao practitioners were even more restless. They had never felt such a strong spiritual power before. They all thought that some god from the sky had descended to the mortal world. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Qu Yao¡¯s earth-shattering appearance, even if the immortals did not want to descend to the mortal world, they could not do so. The last time the God of Destiny saw Bai Yihe, he had reminded him that the love tribulation could not be suppressed. He should either let her develop as she pleased, or he should eliminate her as soon as possible to prevent future trouble. Twenty-five years ago, the God of Destiny had told Bai Yihe, who was in seclusion, that his love tribulation had been born. Bai Yihe had ordered him to send down a thunderbolt that killed his family¡¯s thousand-year-old acacia tree and took away most of the life energy of the premature infant, Qu Yao. But, who knew she would be spared by a passing Taoist priest? The human form had already been formed, so the God of Destiny did not choose to continue killing the baby. After all, killing people was against the heavenly dao. Since the heavenly dao had preserved this child behind, it meant that now was not the time for her to die. Ever since the birth of this child, Bai Yihe had been in seclusion. The God of Destiny would only regularly inform him of Qu Yao¡¯s news. For example, Qu Yao¡¯s mother died in childbirth in order to give birth to Qu Yao, and her father fell ill soon after. She was betrothed to the son of a tea merchant in Tongcheng, she was cursed by everyone as a calamity, she was almost killed by a snake bite to save her sister, she suddenly became half-human and half-beast when she was seven years old, dragging a huge and incomparably long golden snake tail and was chased all over the city, she was locked into a dry well for three whole years, she suddenly broke out of the dry well and went on a killing spree in Tongcheng, Bai Yihe appeared briefly and beat her into the demon world. Later, Qu Yao never came out, and Bai Yihe never came out of seclusion again. The God of Destiny knew that as long as Qu Yao was alive, everything would not end. Bai Yihe had come out of seclusion long ago. He saw Qu Yao dying in the wilderness. His hand touched Qu Yao¡¯s neck. As long as he used a little strength, he could easily break her thin neck. He had not used much strength yet.., the God and Demon sword suddenly attacked him. His reaction was extremely fast. He sidestepped to avoid the blade and struck the God and Demon sword with his palm. The sword instantly withdrew its sharpness and plunged deep into the desert, quietly standing beside Qu Yao. ¡°Bastard! You¡¯ve recognized a new master and forgot where you came from?¡±His voice was deep and cold, and his eyes revealed a frightening cold light. He hadn¡¯t seen Qu Yao for fifteen years. He didn¡¯t expect that the little girl who had asked him for help back then had become the demon lord who controlled the demon world. Even the God and Demon sword recognized her as its master. Since that was the case, let¡¯s see what kind of difficult problem the heavenly dao had come up with. He transferred some spiritual energy from Qu Yao¡¯s eyebrows and helped her open up the spiritual veins all over her body. Just as Qu Yao was about to open her eyes, Bai Yihe turned into a ray of light and disappeared. Looking at the shadow that streaked across the sky, Bai Yihe shook his head helplessly. ¡°She¡¯s already so ostentatious when she just came out.¡± Qu Yao did not care whether she was ostentatious or not. She had waited for fifteen years just for today¡¯s revenge. However, she just happened to pass by a winery. Qu Yao, who was halfway through her flight, stopped in an instant. She followed the smell of wine to the entrance of the winery. Three to five wineries were moving wine into the carriage. She was about to rush in when she saw a toddler walk out from the house beside her. The child had two horns on his head and looked like a little goat. Qu Yao stopped in her tracks. Those few servants carrying alcohol were nothing, but if such a cute child were to cry out of fear, it would definitely be noisy and ugly. Qu Yao did not want to be a weird elder sister who would scare little children into crying. After all, those guys in the devil world were already ugly enough. She had never seen such a cute little thing. The carriage carrying the wine finally left the courtyard, and she quietly flew into the carriage. The man driving the horse in front was humming a little tune, and Qu Yao was drinking happily at the back. She raised her sleeve to wipe away the wine that flowed into her neck, and praised in her heart: good wine! She did not know how long she had drunk, but she actually began to have a blurred feeling, and even the bumpy carriage became light and floating. She was worried that she would be discovered and cause unnecessary trouble, so she carried two pots of wine and flew down from the carriage. Originally, she could have grown up in this beautiful world. Qu Yao staggered along the road. Tongcheng was not far away. She vaguely saw the name on the city gate. It was so familiar yet so strange. ¡°I¡¯ll let you live for a few more hours.¡± She looked at the city gate not far away. ¡°The moment when night falls, it¡¯s time for you to be sacrificed.¡± Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Miss, please do me a favor and give me some water to drink.¡± Qu Yao¡¯s thoughts were suddenly interrupted. A white-haired, bony old man crawled on the ground and begged in a hoarse voice. What was the taste of water? Qu Yao had never drunk water since she entered the devil world. The water in the devil world was poisonous, so were all the flowers and plants. ¡°I don¡¯t have any water.¡± The old man¡¯s eyes were cloudy, and there was a layer of faint mist floating in them. His lips were dry and trembling. ¡°Is the wine okay?¡± She handed the last pot of wine to the old man. ¡°Thank you¡­Thank you¡­¡± Qu Yao didn¡¯t say a word and left quickly without even saying a word of courtesy. She couldn¡¯t stand that kind of miserable scene. In the past, when the devil world went on a killing spree, they had never given those evil spirits and demons a chance to beg for mercy, not to mention that the devil world didn¡¯t have such a thin and weak old man. Looking at the bustling pedestrians at the city gate, Qu Yao felt as if a lifetime had passed. In the crowd, a man stopped with an indecipherable smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He was holding a pot of wine in his hand as he quietly watched Qu Yao¡¯s back. Qu Yao always felt that the entire city was a little strange. During the day, there were always immortals patrolling back and forth. She was not worried about provoking anyone. On the contrary, she hoped that someone would interfere in her revenge so that she could kill everyone in a logical manner. Before nightfall, the bustling Tongcheng had already fallen into a dead silence. The people on the streets seemed to have evaporated without a trace. She was like a thunder that fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard after fifteen years. The layout of the courtyard did not change. A man wearing coarse linen clothes came out from the small house on the side to check. He stretched out his body with a panicked expression. When he saw Qu Yao, he was so scared that he quickly retreated into the house. When the door was about to close, she teleported in front of the servant and grabbed his neck. Before she could ask, the man was so scared that he fainted. Warm liquid flowed out from his legs and wet the floor along with his pants. ¡°¡­¡± Qu Yao threw the unconscious man aside and covered her nose with her hand, trying to block the sudden smell of urine. She frowned and left, kicking open another room. She remembered that her sister had stayed in the first room on the south side of the atrium. That room had the best location. When the door was kicked open, a woman¡¯s scream came from inside. A man roared, ¡°Who are you! How dare you disturb me?!¡± The man sat up from the woman¡¯s body and covered her with the quilt. When he saw a strange woman rushing in from outside the door, and it turned out to be a beauty, he instantly lost his previous anger. He picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and put it on his shoulder. He asked playfully, ¡°Who are you? Which matchmaker sent you here? Why are you so¡­rude.¡± Before the man could finish his words, Qu Yao had already grabbed his neck. Her eyes were red. ¡°Where¡¯s Qu Yue?!¡± ¡°I, I¡­ I don¡¯t know. I really don¡¯t know.¡± The man¡¯s eyes were wide open. He struggled and shouted in fear. ¡°Ahhhhh¡­¡± one of the man¡¯s arms flew out in an instant and landed on the bed. Blood spurted out, splattering half of the man¡¯s face. The woman, who was originally unhappy, let out a heart-wrenching scream along with the man¡¯s painful scream. ¡°Hurry up and tell me! Where¡¯s Qu Yue?!¡± ¡°She¡¯s dead!¡± The man¡¯s eyes widened and his face turned pale.¡± She was haunted by evil spirits after marrying me for less than two days!!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Qu Yao¡¯s voice shattered all the vases in the room. The doors and windows were on the verge of collapsing, and the echoes reverberated in the room. ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me now, I¡¯ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The man was so frightened that he wet his pants. He begged with tears streaming down his face, ¡°Let me go, please let me go. She¡¯s really dead. If you don¡¯t believe me, go to the ancestral hall in the backyard and see that her memorial tablet is still there! She died ten years ago. She was killed by the water ghost after marrying me for only two days. The whole city can bear witness to that!¡± Dead¡­ how could she be dead? Qu Yao¡¯s ears buzzed. The hatred that had supported her for fifteen years suddenly had nowhere to be released at that moment. It was not easy for her to come out of the demon world. She had an earth-shattering plan to seek revenge on her biological sister, but reality told her that the person she had hated for fifteen years was long dead. That night, screams resounded throughout the entire courtyard. Every household in Tongcheng heard the miserable sounds. The cries for help and knocking on the door continued until dawn. No one dared to go near the courtyard. Even the watchman¡¯s legs were broken by the tragic sounds. ¡°It¡¯s too scary!¡± When dawn broke, many passersby gathered in the distance of the courtyard and whispered, ¡°They screamed all night long!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to sleep all night. The water ghost must have come to find me again!¡± ¡°The water ghost has never made such a big noise in the past! The smell of blood can be smelled from ten miles away!¡± ¡°I heard that the officials have already sealed up the Qu family¡¯s courtyard. The courtyard is covered in blood, and it is overflowing from the door frame!¡± Many people were chopped into minced meat when they died! What a sin! Since 25 years ago, no one in this family has been able to live well. They either died tragically or turned into demons and monsters!¡± Qu Yao was like a walking corpse that had lost its soul. She just happened to bump into a passerby who was discussing. That passerby stared angrily at her and questioned whether she had eyes or not. However, he was so frightened by Qu Yao¡¯s gaze that he did not dare to speak anymore. She walked on the street numbly. All kinds of voices passed by her ears, but none of them told her that Qu Yue was not dead and was waiting for her personal revenge. The passersby avoided her as if they were avoiding the god of plague. The coldness around her made people not dare to approach her. Even if her beautiful appearance attracted many people¡¯s attention, they were all scared away by her murderous look. Qu Yao¡¯s shoulder was knocked, but she did not have any emotions. She did not even bother to carry a knife when she killed someone. She didn¡¯t give him another look, but the man who hit her fell at her feet. Just as she was about to kick the man away, the man raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes. His eyes were so beautiful, but they seemed to be unable to focus. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The man stood up with the cane in his hand. ¡°I can¡¯t see. I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t hurt you, did I?¡± Qu Yao was stunned. The familiar face of the man in front of her made her dazed for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Qu Yao grabbed the man¡¯s arm. The man frowned slightly because of the pain. ¡°Miss, do you know me?¡± No, the beautiful brother in the past was not blind. Moreover, the man in the past spoke confidently as if the world was in his hands. His eyes were cold and there was an irresistible pressure around him. The person in front of her was as weak as a willow branch. He did not have an overbearing feeling at all. The gentle smile at the corner of his mouth was different from that person¡¯s. That person would never smile like that. Moreover, the blind person in front of her did not have a red mole under the eyes, unlike that person. ¡°I don¡¯t recognize you.¡±She coldly avoided the hand that the man extended. ¡°Wait.¡± Her sleeve was pulled from behind. ¡°There is the smell of blood on the lady¡¯s body.¡± Qu Yao¡¯s expression instantly changed. She clenched her fists and prepared to use the God and Demon sword with her other hand. She did not care about killing people on the street. Besides, she had already planned to massacre the city fifteen years ago, it was already a good deal for them to live in this cold place for fifteen years. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Miss, are you injured?¡± The man asked again. He took Qu Yao¡¯s pulse without permission. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I can smell that the lady¡¯s blood is very strong and her pulse is very messy.¡± He explained that he was a doctor and that his clinic was not far away. No matter what, he had to let Qu Yao go to his clinic for treatment. He said that he wanted to apologize for bumping into Qu Yao just now. Qu Yao did not know why she followed him. Perhaps it was because this person was very similar to the person in her mind, or perhaps it was because she did not know where to go, or perhaps it was because her wrist had indeed suffered some injuries, at that moment, she did not know why, but it became very painful. She wanted to follow him to get some painkillers. In short, she followed the little blind man to the clinic. The clinic was a few hundred meters away from West Street. The smell of herbs could be smelled at the door. The man walked in front. When Qu Yao saw the threshold, she wanted to remind him, but the man walked through the threshold smoothly as if he could see it, then, he turned back and said to her gently, ¡°Miss, be careful of the threshold.¡± ¡°Oh.¡±Qu Yao followed him in. A servant came out from the counter. ¡°Why is sir back so early today?¡± He saw that the man¡¯s hands were empty, and a girl with a face like a dead person behind him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to buy rice paper? Who¡¯s this?¡± He looked at Qu Yao warily. At this moment, Qu Yao really didn¡¯t look like a good person. Her arm had been accidentally cut last night, and she couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about it. Blood flowed down her arm to her fingertips, and her cold expression made people stay away from her. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear anything on the way and bumped into a girl. She¡¯s a little weak, so I brought her back to take a look at her, as an apology.¡± The servant naturally put his arm into the man¡¯s hand and led him to the consultation area. Qu Yao followed behind him. Qu Yao sat opposite the man. The servant approached her to help her treat the wound on her arm. She instinctively pulled her arm back and accidentally knocked over the incense burner on the table. The servant rushed to pick up the incense burner and was a little angry. ¡°Why are you hiding? No patient in this entire city can come to our clinic for treatment without lining up. It¡¯s your luck that sir brought you back.¡± ¡°An Er! Don¡¯t be rude!¡±The man shouted in a low voice. ¡°You go and take care of the other patients first. I¡¯m fine as long as this lady has me.¡± An Er curled her lips and left. The man apologized, ¡°Miss, An Er is immature and has offended you. I felt that there was blood on your hand just now. I wonder if it¡¯s an injury?¡± Qu Yao was a little puzzled. How could a blind man treat a patient? ¡°The wound is on my arm.¡±She took the initiative to put her arm on the table and casually rolled up her sleeves. She pressed the man¡¯s hand directly on the wound. ¡°Here, it¡¯s a knife wound. See how you treat it.¡± Who among those entering the clinic wasn¡¯t hoping for good health and healing in order to save their lives, and who would have her nonchalant attitude? The man was not surprised. He very naturally touched the area around her wound. His slender fingers moved gently on her arm like playing the piano. He got up and fumbled for a bottle of medicine and gauze from the cabinet behind him. He also ordered someone to bring a basin of water and some things to treat her wound. Although he could not see, he could accurately clean up the blood stains on her wound. ¡°Are you blind?¡± Qu Yao asked. ¡°Why doesn¡¯t it feel like it?¡± The man chuckled. ¡°I am indeed blind. It¡¯s just that my intuition is more accurate when treating patients. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be able to become a doctor so easily.¡± This was the first time she had heard that treating patients depended on one¡¯s intuition. It was really strange. Qu Yao stared at the hand that was helping her wrap the gauze and asked, ¡°Blind man, what¡¯s your name?¡± Even though he was called a blind man, the man was not angry. He continued to smile gently. ¡°My name is Bai Yihe. What¡¯s your name, miss?¡± She paused for a long time. ¡°Qu Yao.¡± After the wound was treated, Qu Yao stood up and was about to leave. One of her feet stepped out of the door and she turned back. She stared at Bai Yihe and his beautiful but blind eyes and asked, ¡°I don¡¯t have a place to stay. Can I stay with you for two days to recuperate?¡± Bai Yihe looked up as if he could see her. He followed her voice and looked at her seriously. He still maintained a gentle smile and said, ¡°Of course.¡± Qu Yao walked back into the door and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After staying in the clinic for two days, she found out that Bai Yinhe was a very famous doctor in Tongcheng. Although he was blind, his medical skills were superb, and many foreigners came to see him because of his reputation. Behind the clinic was his residence. The courtyard was not big, but it was filled with a delicate fragrance. There were many strange flowers and plants planted in it. Bai Yinhe said that those were all medicinal herbs, and some of them were poisonous, so it was best not to go near them. Her room was next to Bai Yinhe¡¯s. The servants lived in the other courtyard and rarely came to disturb them. In the past two days, Bai Yinhe had left early and returned late. They had almost no chance to meet each other, and Qu Yao did not care. She went out to drink alone every day and wandered around. While she drank to drown her sorrows, she was also deliberately asking for information, she wanted to know what had happened in the past. Unfortunately, the people here seemed to be hiding some terrible secret. As soon as they mentioned about Qu Yue from 10 years ago and Qu Yao from 15 years ago, they all fled in panic. Qu Yao, who had not heard any news, held a bottle of wine and drank alone on the roof of Bai Yihe¡¯s house to admire the moon. The stars scattered in the sky. She raised her head and took a big gulp of wine, muttering to herself, ¡°What are those stars, they¡¯re not that beautiful.¡± Why did she have to follow her sister to see them in the first place? If she had not gone that day, would she not have to turn into a half-human, half-beast, be forced into the demon world, and live a life that was neither human nor ghost? Unfortunately, there were not so many ifs. ¡°Clang, Clang.¡± Through the roof, Qu Yao heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from below. It was from Bai Yihe¡¯s room. She flew from the roof of her room to the roof of Bai Yinhe¡¯s room and slowly lay down. She propped up her head with one hand and lifted a tile. The light from the room came out through the cracks and hit Qu Yao¡¯s face. It was soft and bright. Qu Yao raised her head and took another sip of wine. She looked like she was watching a show. The person in the room was topless. There was a bathtub with all kinds of flowers and plants next to it. He bent down to pick up the broken porcelain bottle, and a golden light appeared on his lower back. What a beautiful birthmark. This was the first time she had seen a golden birthmark. Usually, she heard that it was red or black. In the time it took to finish half a cup of tea, the man had already cleaned up the fragments on the ground and threw them aside. Qu Yao nodded in satisfaction. The little blind man was quite good at taking care of himself. Just as she finished thinking, she noticed a fragment. The broken part of the fragment was glowing under the candlelight. She did not think too much about it. She slapped a hole in the roof with her palm and jumped down from the roof. ¡°Hiss¡­¡±Bai Yinhe was so frightened by the violent noise that he staggered two steps and stepped on the broken piece of porcelain. The intense pain under his feet caused him to fall to the ground. ¡°Is anyone there?¡± He fumbled around in panic. ¡°What happened?¡± Suddenly, he felt his feet being grabbed by someone and wanted to withdraw in panic. ¡°Who is it?¡± Qu Yao grabbed his ankle even harder and pulled down his socks. ¡°Don¡¯t move! Don¡¯t you know how to find someone to take care of a blind man?¡± ¡°Qu Yao?¡± Bai Yinhe stopped struggling and let Qu Yao grab his foot. ¡°Why are you in my room? I heard a loud noise from the roof just now. Can you help me see what happened?¡± Qu Yao silently raised her head and looked at the big hole in the roof. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Your roof has collapsed. I¡¯ll get someone to fix it tomorrow.¡± The moonlight was hidden in the light. Through the big hole, one could see one or two twinkling stars. ¡°The roof has collapsed?¡± He was obviously blind, but he raised his head as if he could see it. He looked at Qu Yao with an unfocused gaze. ¡°How can this be? Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you tomorrow.¡± He said in an extremely sincere tone, ¡°Thank you.¡± Qu Yao,¡±¡­You¡¯re welcome.¡± Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After bandaging Bai Yihe¡¯s wounds, Jing Yao frowned as she looked at the hole in the roof. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep in my room today!¡± Bai Yihe touched the teacup on the table. Jing Yao had only been looking at it coldly, but when she saw Bai Yihe¡¯s slow movements, she couldn¡¯t help but be impatient. She took the teacup and poured some tea.., then she directly pressed it against Bai Yihe¡¯s lips. Bai Yihe was at a loss. ¡°Drink! What are you standing there for? Don¡¯t tell me you want me to feed you!¡± She raised her arm and helped him to the end. She simply fed the teacup to Bai Yihe¡¯s mouth. Bai Yihe didn¡¯t have time to resist and was forced to drink a cup of tea. After drinking it, she coughed lightly twice and used a handkerchief to elegantly wipe away the water stains on the corner of his mouth. Initially, he had intended to pour Jing Yao a cup of water to express his gratitude, but he did not explain the matter of the tea, instead, he continued what he had just said, ¡°The collapsed area is a little far from my bed. I¡¯d better sleep in my own room. It¡¯s getting late. You¡¯d better go back to your room and rest. Thank you for today.¡± Jing Yao did not decline any further. She got up and patted the dust on her body. ¡°Alright, then be careful. I¡¯ll go back to sleep first.¡± When she pushed the door open and was about to leave, she turned back to take a look. Bai Yihe maintained his smile and limped in the direction of the bed with his blind cane. After the door closed, Jing Yao had the urge to laugh. It had been a long time since she had such a strange sense of pleasure. It was quite interesting to tease this little blind man. In the middle of the night, Jing Yao was woken up by the crackling sounds. She covered her ears and rolled restlessly on the bed. Finally, she could not help but curse, ¡°What kind of lousy weather is this? Why is it suddenly raining so heavily? Is it going to let me sleep?¡± She pulled the quilt over her head and shut herself in the quilt. She tried to isolate the sound of the rain, but it was of no use. After a moment, she suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up. Oh no! There was a hole in the roof of the little blind man next door! With such heavy rain, the room should have been flooded by now, right? She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the next door before she could even find an umbrella. She knocked on the door, but the other party did not open it. It would definitely take some time for a blind man to open the door. In addition, he still had an injury on his foot. Jing Yao looked up and jumped into the big hole in the roof. Bai Yihe stood at the door, his feet submerged in the rain. He held the blind staff tightly in his hand and asked blankly, ¡°Who is it? Is It Miss Qu Yao?¡± Before he could answer, his feet suddenly jumped into the air and he was carried horizontally by someone. Jing Yao carried him onto the bed and waved his hand in the direction of the roof. The hole stopped leaking rain instantly. All the rain fell on the transparent glass and slid from the light cover to the edge of the roof. ¡°Your room has become a river. Can¡¯t you call someone?¡± Jing Yao threw him onto the bed mercilessly, her tone extremely cold. ¡°Are you blind or mute?¡± Bai Yihe lowered his head and showed an apologetic expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb Miss Qu Yao¡¯s rest, I¡­¡± ¡°You what? !¡± She pushed down Bai Yihe¡¯s skinny body and pulled down the gauze wrapped around his wound by pressing on his leg. Bai Yihe groaned in pain. She rolled her eyes. ¡°You still know how to feel pain? If you have a wound on your foot, then put on your shoes before you walk. It¡¯s a waste of the effort I put into dressing your wound!¡± Bai Yihe did not speak at all. He was like a trained child, silently listening to Jing Yao¡¯s scolding. Jing Yao continued to scold him while helping him to cover up his wound. Most of the time, she was calling him stupid. After talking for a long time, Jing Yao realized that the person in front of her had not spoken at all. She thought that Bai Yihe was angry. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking? Are you angry?¡± She did not mean to scold him. She did not know what was wrong with her. Seeing Bai Yihe like this, she could not help but want to scold him. The emotions in her heart were also inexplicable. Hence, she, who was originally aggressive, turned embarrassed, when she realized that Bai Yihe was not talking. Why did it feel like I¡¯ve done something wrong? She cursed silently. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I¡¯m not angry. It¡¯s just that this is the first time someone has cared about me so much. I¡¯m not used to it.¡± Bai Yihe looked at Qu Yao with a gentle gaze. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Thank¡­What¡¯s the thank you for?¡± Qu Yao clenched the gauze in her hand tightly. It had been a long time since she had received such sincere words like ¡®thank you¡¯ and ¡®sorry¡¯ that made her whole body go numb. ¡°I¡¯m just on the way.¡± In the middle of the night on a stormy day, she was on the way to Bai Yihe¡¯s room next door to help him change his dressing and use her spiritual power to block the hole in the roof. She was really on the way! Forget it. After all, the hole was created by her palm strike, so it was reasonable for her to help him. Jing Yao threw Bai Yihe¡¯s foot away and looked around. ¡°Your room is already flooded. Let¡¯s make do in my room today.¡± Bai Yihe wanted to decline, but Jing Yao picked him up and carried him to his room without waiting for him to say anything else. No one has ever dared to reject this witch! This guy actually rejected me twice in one night? Jing Yao sat in front of the tea table in a huff and stared at Bai Yihe, who was standing by the bed and didn¡¯t dare to sit down. He poured and drank tea without saying a word. The teapot was empty. ¡°Hurry up and sleep!¡± Jing Yao pushed him onto the bed, and then lay down next to him calmly. ¡°It¡¯s so hard to sleep! Are you afraid that I¡¯ll cheat on you?¡± Bai Yihe curled up in a corner and lay stiffly. ¡°No, don¡¯t misunderstand. It¡¯s my first time sleeping with someone else, so it¡¯s a little¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. You¡¯re blind anyway,¡± Jing Yao interrupted him. ¡°Just treat it as if a pet is sleeping next to you!¡± Later that night, as a pet, Qu Yao could not fall asleep, but the blind man next to her was fast asleep. Bai Yihe was woken up by a loud noise. He subconsciously looked to his side and saw that Qu Yao was no longer there. ¡°Hey, Hey, Hey, be careful! Don¡¯t step on a hole in the roof before it¡¯s fixed. Our clinic will not be responsible if you fall and hurt yourself!¡± Bai Yihe walked out while touching the door frame. ¡°An Er? What¡¯s going on outside? Why is it so noisy?¡± An Er ran over and held Bai Yihe¡¯s arm. ¡°Sir, they are helping you repair the roof. Why didn¡¯t you call me when your roof collapsed? !¡± Before he could wake up in the early morning, he heard Qu Yao rushing into the courtyard with four or five people. He thought something had happened, but when he followed her, he saw that Bai Yihe¡¯s roof had collapsed! He was so anxious that he instantly woke up. The rainstorm had suddenly fallen last night. He thought it was the heavy rain that had broken the roof. After thanking Qu Yao, he started to instruct the workers to fix it. ¡°Where did Qu Yao go?¡± Bai Yihe asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± An Er held Bai Yihe while she turned her head to look at the roof. ¡°She brought these people here early in the morning, then she went out.¡± An Er helped Bai Yihe to the middle of the courtyard before she realized something. ¡°Sir, why are you¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± An Er looked at Qu Yao¡¯s room, then at Bai Yihe collapsed roof. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Bai Yihe let go of An Er¡¯s hand. ¡°You stay here and look after it. Remember to pay after it¡¯s fixed. I¡¯m going out to pick herbs.¡± ¡°Picking herbs again?¡± An Er grabbed his wrist. ¡°Sir, you¡¯ve been going out to pick herbs every day for the past few days and you didn¡¯t let me follow you. What kind of herbs are you looking for?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Just look after the clinic.¡± An Er stared at him aggrievedly. She was reluctant to let go of his hand. Usually, he was the one who led the way to pick herbs. However, ever since Qu Yao came, Bai Yihe went out to pick herbs alone. He left early and returned late. No one knew what kind of herbs he was looking for. No matter what kind of herbs he was looking for, he had to take care of himself too! Precious herbs were usually found in the mountains and forests. It had just rained heavily last night, so the path of picking herbs was definitely dangerous. How could a blind man like him ensure his safety? ¡°No! The mountain road is slippery. What if something happens to you? No matter what, you can¡¯t go today!¡± This was the first time An Er had gone against Bai Yihe¡¯s wishes so forcefully. Although Bai Yihe usually looked gentle, he was actually very strict with his subordinates. Moreover, his medical skills were superb. He was kind and had a great love for them. Therefore, everyone respected him very much. Bai Yihe did not say anything and pulled away An Er¡¯s hand. He propped up his blind cane and walked away alone, leaving behind An Er, who was sulking. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There was an immortal herb at the edge of the cliff that could help the gods and demons recover their spiritual power. However, due to the lack of nourishment from the rain, it had not matured for a long time. Today, it had matured completely. Bai Yihe had come for this immortal herb this time. He had checked Qu Yao¡¯s pulse. Although the God and Demon Sword had acknowledged her as the master, when she had broken through the gate of the demon realm and massacred the Qu family, her heart had been damaged. So, her spiritual power was unstable. This immortal herb could help her recover her body. ¡­ Qu Yao strolled around Tongcheng for a few days and finally found out some information in a tavern. In the third year after Qu Yao was sent to the demon world, her sister had married her fianc¨¦. However, she was killed by the water ghost of Honghu Lake within two years. Qu Yao was also very familiar with this water ghost. It was the water ghost that her sister had met when she had tricked her into falling into the water. At that time, she had wanted to save her sister, and had almost been dragged into the water and eaten by the water ghost. Fortunately, she had relied on the sudden appearance of a snake tail to carry her sister out of the lake, but she herself had fainted from fright. Later on, the water ghost would come out to kill people every once in a while. The government had invited many immortals to eliminate the water ghost, but they had all failed. That water ghost was very cunning. It was unknown where it had learned the forbidden technique, but it could actually suck away a person¡¯s spiritual energy. As long as the spiritual energy was sucked away by the water ghost, that person would slowly die because of physical weakness. Fortunately, Bai Yihe came to Tongcheng later. He saved a lot of people who had their spiritual energy sucked away by the water ghost. She had never expected that the water ghost, which was originally used by her sister, would actually take her sister¡¯s life in the end. After coming out of the tavern, she had been wandering in her mind. Her mind was a mess, and she was walking as if she was hysterical. Suddenly, she heard a noise. ¡°Get out of the way! Get out of the way!¡± A group of people surrounded a trolley and rushed out from behind her. Qu Yao thought to herself, I have never let anyone pass me in my life, why should I get out of the way? A man in shabby clothes lay on the trolley. His clothes were not only tattered, but his entire body was covered in mud. He was on the verge of death and being pushed by a group of people ¡°Get out of the way!¡± The person who pushed the trolley shouted at Qu Yao who was right in front of him. ¡°F*ck!¡± Qu Yao teleported to the side of the road. ¡°Bai Yihe?!¡± She quickly caught up with him and pulled one of her followers and asked, ¡°What happened?¡± That person looked flustered. ¡°Bai Yihe fell off the cliff! Fortunately, someone found him, or else¡­¡± That person stopped what he was saying and sighed heavily. Then, he continued to chase in a hurry. The entrance of the clinic was already filled with people. Qu Yao squeezed in with great difficulty. Bai Yihe did not appear in the lobby. The other people in the clinic helplessly advised the people at the entrance to disperse, but these people did not listen to a word. They insisted on waiting for Bai Yihe to come out peacefully. Qu Yao was annoyed by the noise and kicked the door. ¡°You¡¯re so noisy! Get lost!¡± She rubbed her ears, ¡°Where¡¯s Bai Yihe?¡± A doctor from the clinic answered, ¡°He was sent to the backyard by An Er. He¡¯s being treated now.¡± The backyard was in a mess. Five or six people carried Bai Yihe to the bed, scrubbed his wounds, gave him acupuncture, and gave him medicine. There were also a few girls who were cleaning the yard and crying. Qu Yao frowned and pulled the one who was crying the most. ¡°Dead? Where¡¯s the mourning?¡± The girl stopped crying and angrily rebuked, ¡°How can you talk like that? ! Sir took you in, how can you say such things!¡± ¡°You¡¯re crazy. Why are you crying if he¡¯s not dead?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s crazy, your whole family is crazy¡­¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The angry curses behind her continued for a long time. Qu Yao entered Bai Yihe¡¯s room by herself. Everything had been taken care of inside. An Er was preparing to go to the pharmacy with a few doctors to brew medicine. ¡°Why are you here?¡± An Er was a little angry. ¡°Sir needs to rest. You¡¯d better not disturb him.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Qu Yao pouted and returned to her own room. She only sneaked into Bai Yihe¡¯s room when she heard that there was no one else next door. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste her breath on these people. If they told her to go back, so be it. At worst, she would only come back after everyone had left. Bai Yihe laid on the bed with his face pale. His eyes were tightly shut, and his breathing was even and weak. ¡°You little blind man, why are you still running around when your legs are crippled?¡± Qu Yao pulled back the blanket covering his body and examined the wound briefly. Fortunately, his internal organs were not injured. It was only some flesh wounds, but the injury on his forehead was more serious. That was why he had been unconscious. She sat down next to the bed and held Bai Yihe¡¯s hand to transfer her spiritual power to him. Fortunately, his injury only needed a small amount of spiritual power to be cured. Think of it as paying for your roof, Jing Yao thought. .. Bai Yihe woke up. All the doctors in the clinic were saying that Bai Yihe was blessed by the God of Light. How could he wake up so quickly with such a serious injury? Moreover, according to the examination, Bai Yihe was already fine. The word that Bai Yihe was blessed by the God of Light spread throughout the clinic to Tong cheng. Many people who had been saved by Bai Yihe voluntarily went to the God of Light Hall to pay their respects. Qu Yao was speechless when she saw this situation. How could there be a God of Light? She was the one who saved Bai Yihe, okay? So many good wines and dishes to a sculpture that could not speak? These people weren¡¯t fools, right? Thinking of the God of Light, Qu Yao got angry. She and this sculpture had a feud since before she entered the demon world! Back when the people of Tongcheng wanted to use her as a sacrifice to the God of Light, she swept the temple to the ground with her big tail. Now, he was stealing her credit and receiving wine from the people. How could this be tolerated? In the middle of the night, Qu Yao flew into the temple and drank all the wine. The Sky had just brightened, and she was drunk when she heard the temple guards wailing, ¡°Who is it?! Which reckless person drank the God of Light¡¯s wine?!¡± Qu Yao sat behind the God of Light¡¯s statue. The tribute platform and the floor were filled with empty wine flasks that she had thrown down after drinking wine. There were also chicken drumsticks that had been chewed off, apples that had been bitten off, and snacks that had been half eaten. They were scattered all over the floor. Looking at her masterpiece, Qu Yao could not help but laugh. She raised her hand and slapped the butt of the God of Light sculpture, which created a loud sound. ¡°God of Light? I think you are a bullsh*t god! From now on, let this demoness help you drink your wine!¡± After saying that, Qu Yao took the last flask of wine and disappeared into the temple. The moment Qu Yao returned to the clinic, she went straight to Bai Yihe¡¯s room. Her body reeked of alcohol, but she did not avoid it at all. ¡°Little blind man!¡± She placed the wine on the table. ¡°Are you better?¡± Bai Yihe was sitting on the bed at the moment. He stared in Qu Yao¡¯s direction with an extremely ugly expression. ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. Why are you blind and mute? It¡¯s so hard to talk to you every time!¡± She walked to the bedside and saw that Bai Yihe seemed to have moved back a little. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qu Yao thought that the alcohol smell on her body had affected Bai Yihe. ¡°I went to the tavern and drank two mouthfuls of alcohol, so my body reeked of alcohol.¡± Bai Yihe still did not speak. Qu Yao¡¯s patience was exhausted, and she angrily pulled on his sleeve. ¡°Don¡¯t be ungrateful! I saved your life!¡± Bai Yihe finally opened his mouth. ¡°Thank you.¡± He sighed and took out a medicine bottle from under his pillow. ¡°This is for you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± She took it, opened the seal of the ceramic bottle, and smelled it. ¡°Medicine?¡± She laughed. ¡°Why are you giving me medicine? Aren¡¯t you the one who should be taking the medicine?¡± She reached out and touched Bai Xiehe¡¯s head. ¡°Did you fall and become stupid?¡± Bai Xiehe quickly dodged. Qu Yao was shocked by his quick reaction and was stunned for a moment. He said, ¡°It¡¯s for you. Previously, I found out that your spiritual power is very unstable, so I found this to treat you.¡± The moment he said spiritual power, it meant that he had already known that Qu Yao was no longer human. Her eyes suddenly changed, and her smiling eyes suddenly turned cold as ice. She asked with a cold face, ¡°What do you know?¡± Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. There are many gods in this world, and not all the people who come to me for treatment are humans. Whether they are humans, gods or ghosts, they are all the same patients in my eyes. I only care about the treatment, I don¡¯t care about anything else.¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s expression did not change at all, and even the tone of his voice was no different from usual. He was not affected by Qu Yao at all. ¡°It¡¯s all the same?¡± Qu Yao asked back. She had never believed in the saying ¡®It¡¯s all the same¡¯. There was once someone who looked very similar to Bai Yinghe who had said the same thing. ¡®Everything in the world is the same. You are not different in my eyes. Therefore, you should not feel that you are different from everything. Let go of the obsession in your heart and everything will go as you wish.¡¯ These words lingered in Qu Yao¡¯s mind for eighteen years like a spell. It was because she listened to this man¡¯s words that she put down the butcher¡¯s knife and was locked in the bottom of the well and tortured for three years. She treated all living things like her. She treated herself like all living things, but all living things did not treat her the same. Everyone wanted her to die. When she wanted everyone to die, that person appeared. When everyone wanted her to die, that person never appeared again. This time, not only did she leave the demon world for revenge, there was also a more important thing. She wanted to find the person who had asked her to let go of her obsession and follow the immortal¡¯s arrangements to enter the demon-locking well. She wanted to personally ask that person.., was she the same as everything in the world? ¡°All the same¡­¡± Qu Yao seemed to have lost her soul. She did not know when she had come out of Bai Yihe¡¯s room. She only knew that when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived at the herb field in the backyard. An Er hurriedly stopped Qu Yao. ¡°Hey, Hey, hey¡­Watch out, don¡¯t step on it. These are Sir¡¯s treasures!¡± Ever since Qu Yao had arrived, he had never given Qu Yao any good looks. ¡°You really are a worrisome person. In order to find medicine for your illness, sir risked his life to go to the precipice to help you pick herbs. He fell to such a state and almost died! Yet, you came here to destroy sir¡¯s painstaking efforts!¡± He plucked the last stalk of medicine. ¡°Leave this place quickly! Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°He fell so badly because he¡¯s picking medicine for me?¡± Jing Yao clenched the medicine bottle in her hand tightly and returned to Bai Yihe¡¯s room. Bai Yihe was applying medicine for himself with his upper body bare. He could not see the wound and could only apply it based on his feelings. After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he tried to call out, ¡°An Er? Is that you? Help me apply the medicine. I can¡¯t touch the rest.¡± There was no reply from the door. A moment later, footsteps gradually approached. Qu Yao did not say a word as she helped Bai Yihe apply the medicine. There were several abrasions on his back, and fresh blood was forming on the wounds. Fortunately, the golden birthmark was not injured. She was once again attracted by Bai Yihe and the birthmark that was like golden light. ¡°The birthmark on your back is really beautiful,¡± She could not help but say. The other party¡¯s body stiffened. ¡°Qu Yao?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t it be me?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m just a little surprised. Why didn¡¯t you say anything when you came in?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I already say?¡± Wasn¡¯t it a compliment to say that his birthmark was beautiful? ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yihe put on his clothes that were draped around his waist. ¡°Do I have a birthmark on my back?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Even if he was not blind and could not see his back, someone must have told him. ¡°Didn¡¯t your parents tell you?¡± The air was quiet for a moment, then Bai Yihe said, ¡°I don¡¯t have parents.¡± He smiled faintly. ¡°I was born without parents, and no one has seen my body, so I didn¡¯t know I had a birthmark behind me.¡± It was Qu Yao¡¯s turn to be quiet when she heard this. She understood what it was like to be born without a mother, to be without a father before the age of three, to be alone with her sister. In the end, she was forced into a dead end by her sister. Her father had arranged a child marriage for her in advance, but in the end, he married her sister. The entire Qu family business fell into the hands of outsiders. It was really not a good feeling to grow up with nothing. ¡°What does that birthmark look like?¡± Bai Yihe was not affected by the heavy topic, and his tone was still relaxed. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± This was the gentlest sentence Bai Yihe has ever heard since he met Qu Yao. ¡°It¡¯s like a beam of golden light falling diagonally from your shoulder blade, and it¡¯s also like a small golden wing.¡± ¨CUnfortunately, you can¡¯t see it. Jing Yao stared at the location of the birthmark through his clothes and recalled the mole under her beautiful brother¡¯s eyes. It was just as beautiful. ¡°Don¡¯t you have any siblings?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you thought about finding a wife and starting a family? At least you have someone to take care of you.¡± If a blind man didn¡¯t take good care of his life and stayed at the clinic every day, what would he do in the future? He couldn¡¯t possibly live with the men in the clinic! ¡°I have thought about it, but unfortunately, I¡¯m blind. No one is willing to marry me. Besides, I don¡¯t have anything valuable other than the clinic. I can¡¯t give them any guarantees.¡± From Bai Yihe¡¯s tone, Qu Yao Ming could hear the dejection in his voice. ¡°So what if you¡¯re blind? You¡¯re the only blind person in the world who looks so good! You¡¯re such a good person, you definitely don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to get a wife!¡± Qu Yao banged the table excitedly and shouted, ¡°If those people don¡¯t agree with you, it¡¯s because they don¡¯t have good taste! Tell me!¡± She straightforwardly patted Bai Yihe¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Which girl do you fancy? I¡¯ll go and get it for you!¡± She looked like a gangster, one foot on the stool and the other on Bai Yihe¡¯s shoulder. She looked like she was going to help him settle his marriage now. Bai Yihe was expressionless. ¡°Then, it¡¯s you.¡± ¡­ Qu Yao¡¯s heroic expression froze on her face. She lowered her head and looked down at the little blind man, ¡°What did you say?¡± The little blind man looked at her sincerely. ¡°I said, then it¡¯s you.¡± Qu Yao,¡±¡­¡± Crazy! What did he mean by ¡®then it¡¯s you¡¯? ¡°You must be joking. I¡¯ve only known you for a few days.¡± Qu Yao no longer had the arrogance from before. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. I¡¯m not a person who can take a joke.¡± Bai Yihe had a serious look on his face. ¡°I¡¯m not joking. As long as you¡¯re willing, I can start preparing the betrothal gifts tomorrow.¡± ¡°What betrothal gifts! Shut up!¡± Qu Yao jumped up immediately. ¡°Why are you so greedy? Who said I¡¯m going to marry you?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that as long as it¡¯s someone I like, you¡¯ll get her for me? ¡°He added, ¡°Besides, we already slept on the same bed last time.¡± Qu Yao was so angry that she laughed. Great! What kind of godly doctor was he? He was obviously a hooligan and blind man! Getting married after sleeping on the same bed? What kind of noble theory was this? She was drunk in the demon world and slept with those demons and monsters every day. Was she going to get married to all those ugly monsters? ¡°Crazy! Are you going to get married to your pet just because you slept with your pet?¡± Qu Yao lifted her leg and was about to leave without saying anything else. ¡°What kind of lousy clinic is this? I¡¯ve been staying here for two days and I still have to throw myself into it?¡± She stuffed the medicine bottle she was carrying into Bai Yihe¡¯s hands. ¡°I¡¯ll return it to you. I haven¡¯t taken this medicine yet. You help me pick the medicine and I¡¯ll help you treat your injuries. We don¡¯t owe each other anything.¡± Goodbye. Qu Yao waved her sleeves and thought to herself, ¡°You¡¯re delaying my revenge!¡± Marriage? I came to the human world to kill people, not to make babies! Originally, she came to look for Bai Yihe to thank him for helping her pick the medicine. Who knew that it would end up with such a ridiculous thing. She did not want to stay in the human world. She wanted to take revenge and return to the demon world as soon as possible. There was no good place in this world. There were psychos everywhere! That night, An Er went to the tavern to look for Qu Yao angrily after learning that Bai Yihe had failed in his proposal. An Er was so angry that her face was red and her neck was thick. She stood up for her master and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you! It¡¯s your good fortune that my master has taken a fancy to you! Although he could not see, but he was kind-hearted and highly skilled in medicine, not to mention the valuable herbs in the pharmacy were worth thousands of gold. Which of those books in his study were not out of print? He raised the dead and borrowed power to return the soul, besides having all kinds of curses and forbidden spells. Many people in the world were envious of him, but you actually¡­ ¡°What book?¡± Qu Yao¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°What book?¡± An Er felt that the woman in front of her was a lunatic. She really could not understand why her master had taken a fancy to such a woman. Her words did not make any sense, and it was strange how she handled things! Qu Yao thought to himself, curses and forbidden spells¡­could there be a way to break the curse on her body? An Er was still scolding her while Qu Yao had already stood up and left. Seeing that she was in a hurry and did not listen to him, An Er became even angrier and kicked the table leg. ¡°Ahh ¨C¡± An Er was in so much pain that he bent over and rubbed his feet. He was still scolding this woman who did not know what was good for her. This woman who did not know what was good for her had already flown back to the backyard of the clinic in an instant. ¡°Little blind man!¡± She pulled Bai Yihe, who was filling the soil for the medicinal herbs. ¡°I¡¯ll marry! I¡¯ll marry tomorrow!¡± Bai Yihe looked lost. Qu Yao changed her words, ¡°No! I¡¯ll marry today!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The entire clinic was in chaos because of Bai Yihe and the phrase ¡®get married tonight.¡¯ ¡°Get Married?!¡± An Er tugged on Bai Yihe¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Sir, have you thought it through? There are all kinds of good women in this world. Why must you marry this lunatic?¡± Although it was very impolite to say this, in order to dissuade Bai Yihe, An Er no longer cared about being scolded. ¡°What lunatic? You¡¯re the one who¡¯s insane, your whole family is insane!¡± After Qu Yao finished scolding, she felt that this sentence sounded a little familiar. ¡°Your master wants to marry me, not you. What right do you have to stop him?¡± Bai Yihe stood in front of Qu Yao and said to An Er, ¡°Although it¡¯s a little rushed to get married today, we still have to have what we should have. Today, the hospital will not receive patients for the time being. Let the others settle the patients and then start preparing for the banquet.¡± Qu Yao only wanted to get Bai Yihe¡¯s book logically. She had never thought of marrying him. However, this guy was too serious, which made Qu Yao feel awkward. From noon onwards, more than twenty people in the hospital began to prepare for the wedding banquet in the evening. There were more than ten tables arranged in a grand manner. They even sent people to distribute wedding invitations at the entrance of the hospital. Bai Yihe would not reject anyone who was willing to attend their wedding. This was to let the whole world know! Looking at the red silk in the courtyard, Qu Yao held her forehead and sighed. ¡°My pig brain! Isn¡¯t it better to steal books? Why should I marry him¡­¡± Actually, Qu Yao had regretted it when Bai Yihe informed her about the wedding banquet. She had always liked to be straightforward, but she could not think of any roundabout ways. It was too late by the time she thought of it. Anyway, she had just heard about the water ghosts and did not plan to leave Tongcheng for the time being. She shamelessly stayed at Bai Yihe¡¯s house for the time being. When she got to know him in the future, she would not have to worry about not being able to deceive him to get the book about curses. However, it was already too late to think about this now. She could only follow Bai Yihe¡¯s lead and get married. When she got the book in the future, she would just leave. Anyway, a blind man like him would not be able to find her. Moreover, a place like the demon world was not a place that a mere mortal like him could go to. Thinking of this, Qu Yao¡¯s depressed heart finally relaxed. She locked herself in her room uneasily and let the servant girls plead at the door. ¡°Miss Qu, please open the door. If you don¡¯t clean up and dress up, it will take up too much time.¡± Three to five servant girls were holding wedding clothes and golden hairpins, followed by more than ten men. Each of them was carrying a large wooden box filled with wedding gifts that Bai Yihe and his men had bought for Qu Yao. ¡°It¡¯s just a casual wedding. Is it that troublesome?¡± Qu Yao really wanted to perform a scene to escape the wedding, but she couldn¡¯t. She hadn¡¯t gotten what she wanted yet. ¡°Sir, why are you here?¡± The voice of the servant girl came from the door. Qu Yao listened quietly. ¡°What happened?¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s deep voice came through the crack of the door. The servant girls complained, saying that Qu Yao hadn¡¯t opened the door, so they couldn¡¯t help her change into her wedding dress. It was almost dark, and many guests were already waiting in the front yard. Without waiting for Bai Yihe to speak, the door suddenly opened. She pulled the maids into the room and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just a little nervous about getting married for the first time in my life. I just need to adjust.¡± Bai Yihe and the blind staff in his hand were replaced with mahogany. The end of the staff supported the ground. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s my first time too.¡± He smiled. ¡°Have you adjusted?¡± Qu Yao answered, ¡°Yes, Yes!¡± She pushed Bai Yihe at the door. ¡°Hurry up and leave. Do what you need to do. I need to change.¡± Bai Yihe looked really happy. He smiled and allowed Qu Yao to push him. He even tripped because he could not see anything. The servants beside him were so scared that they quickly supported him. Before the sky got dark, the maids helped Qu Yao get thoroughly familiar with dressing up. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The room returned to silence once again. Qu Yao looked at herself in the mirror tiredly. With her slender eyebrows, her sharp nose, and her bright red lips, she could not help but reach out to touch herself in the mirror. She had grown up. Before she left the human world, she was only an eight-year-old child. When she returned, she was already an adult. In the past, all sorts of things seemed to have happened in her previous life. She had never thought that she would get married. Her mind was filled with revenge. She had never thought that she would look like this when she wore her wedding dress. Unfortunately, it was a scam. ¡°Yao Yao?!¡± Qu Yao turned around in surprise. ¡°Faceless Ghost? Why are you here?¡± She frowned and asked angrily, ¡°Who allowed you to leave the demon world?¡± Although no one could exit the demon world, the other immortals couldn¡¯t enter either. The demonic qi was very heavy there, so it was the safest place for demons and monsters like them. Once they came out, they would be easily discovered by the immortals who had eliminated the demons. Jing Yao did not belong to the demon world completely. In essence, she was still half-human and half-beast. It was just that her inner demon was too heavy, so she was mistaken by those people who were besieging her and was sent into the demon world by them. Therefore, even if she came to the human world.., those gods could not see the demonic qi on her body. Since the Faceless Ghost could come out, then the other demons¡­ She teleported in front of the Faceless Ghost and strangled his neck. ¡°Speak! How many came out?!¡± The God and Demon Sword split open the gate of the demon world. Qu Yao could come out, so the other demons could naturally come out as well. Many people in the demon world had been thrown into the demon world because they had committed all kinds of evil. They were unpardonable great demons. Originally, the wild fog of the demon world could still prevent them from coming out, but now, the demon world was equivalent to connecting with the world. These demons coming out of the demon world at will could very likely cause trouble. Faceless Ghost begged for mercy in panic. ¡°Demon Venerable, don¡¯t be angry.¡± His faceless features were twisted into a wrinkled skin, ¡°The demon ancestor has already helped you control the demon world in advance. As long as there are people who try to escape from the demon world, he will send troops to hunt them down.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Faceless Ghost looked like he was about to die. Qu Yao threw him away. ¡°But what? Quickly say it!¡± Faceless Ghost looked troubled. He could not explain clearly for a long time. Before Qu Yao could get angry, Faceless Ghost was slapped against the wall by a black wind. The black wind appeared. It was Shadow. He was still wearing a black cloak. The wide black veil completely covered his head. Outsiders could not see his appearance. They could only see his beautiful eyes through the gaps. In fact, Qu Yao had never seen Shadow¡¯s face. It was because she had been frightened by all the strange demons in the demon world the moment she woke up. Therefore, from the ancestor of demons, Shadow, to the servant ghosts, all the ugly ones had to cover their faces. Faceless Ghost never covered his face. In his words, he had no face. ¡°Yao Yao!!¡± Shadow started to shout her name before he showed up. Qu Yao was speechless. ¡°Why are you suddenly getting married? ! I don¡¯t agree!¡± Shadow smashed the table in anger. ¡°The entire demon world doesn¡¯t agree!¡± Qu Yao looked like she was looking at a lunatic. ¡°I¡¯m getting married. What does the demon world disagree with?¡± She had always been the only one who did not agree with what the demon world did. There had never been a case where the demon world did not agree with what she did. ¡°That¡¯s just a blind man. What¡¯s so good about that?¡± Shadow tugged at Qu Yao¡¯s bright red sleeves. ¡°My dear Yao Yao, do you have any man you want? Why do you have to marry a cripple?¡± Qu Yao was completely furious. ¡°You keep saying that he is a cripple. Aren¡¯t those demons in the demon world crippled if they look like that? What¡¯s wrong with being blind? A blind man just happens to not be able to see my snake tail! I don¡¯t want to accidentally reveal my true form and scare him to death that day!¡± Shadow was silent. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Shadow knew that Qu Yao hated her snake tail the most, but everyone in the demon world respected her half-human and half-beast appearance. In the demon world, once she revealed her true form, she would definitely be drunk and want to kill. That domineering appearance made the entire demon world have a special respect for her. Of course, everyone loved her domineering and cute face the most, just like when they first met her. The ghosts surrounded the little cutie who suddenly appeared, and they discussed how to raise her. As long as there was something in the demon world, they would give them whatever she wanted. ¡°Then, have you thought it through?¡± He drooped his head. Qu Yao¡¯s heart softened. ¡°You¡¯re like this again. You know that I can¡¯t bear to see you suffer!¡± This was Shadow¡¯s trump card. Although Qu Yao¡¯s temperament had changed greatly after entering the demon world, she was still a child. Her huge hatred had been healed by the demon world¡¯s endless pampering. Therefore, she was actually cold-blooded and overbearing on the surface, but there was still a trace of love in her heart. Of course, this was all Shadow¡¯s own thoughts. In Qu Yao¡¯s heart: A two-meter-tall demon ancestor who kills without batting an eyelid. This aggrieved look made people have goosebumps all over! Ahh¡­ When would this bunch of demons be able to see through their own character! They really weren¡¯t suited to play the victim! Forget it. Looking at his aggrieved look, she might as well give an explanation. ¡°I married him to get his family¡¯s medical books. Don¡¯t mess up my plans!¡± Shadow¡¯s head, which was covered tightly by the black veil, suddenly lifted up. His beautiful eyes instantly lit up. ¡°Really?¡± Jing Yao nodded helplessly. This time, Shadow was excited. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out when the Faceless Ghost fell from the wall behind him. She quickly pulled him back. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?¡± Shadow looked serious. ¡°Don¡¯t you want the book? I¡¯ll go get it for you! No matter what kind of book it is, as long as Yao Yao wants it, I¡¯ll move his entire study room back to the demon¡­Ahh¡­¡± Qu Yao jumped up and slapped Shadow on the head. ¡°Are you a demon ancestor or a petty thief! A thousand years ago, you couldn¡¯t have been sent to the demon world because you stole money, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± After all, he was a demon ancestor who massacred the human world and attacked the heavenly world. How did he become a thief? ¡°Yao Yao ~¡± The demon ancestor felt wronged. The demon ancestor acted coquettishly. The demon ancestor needed Yao Yao to coax him. Qu Yao completely forgot that she also wanted to steal the book. She lectured Shadow righteously. ¡°It¡¯s the wedding tonight. Don¡¯t come and cause trouble. Hurry up and leave.¡± Qu Yao could not care less about this black fellow acting coquettishly. She did not like to explain too much. ¡°I¡¯ll go back after I¡¯m done.¡± Bang, bang, bang.. The sound of knocking came from the door. ¡°Madam, are you ready? The wedding banquet is about to begin. We should go out.¡± Qu Yao gave Shadow a look, signaling him to leave. The front yard and the hall were already filled with guests. Everyone was happily toasting Bai Yihe. Other than congratulating him, there were also many praises. ¡°Doctor Bai is so lucky! He just escaped death, and now he has a beautiful bride!¡± ¡°As expected, he is blessed by the God of Light! I wonder which family the bride is from?¡± Bai Yihe held a blind staff in one hand and a wine glass in the other. ¡°She is a native of Tongcheng, but she grew up in a foreign land, so no one has any impression of her.¡± Everyone came to a sudden realization and nodded happily. They all said that it was better to be from Tongcheng, so that madam would not have to travel too far to her mother¡¯s house in the future. If there was anything she needed to take care of in the future, just tell them. Someone asked, ¡°On such a big day, why haven¡¯t we seen Qu Yao¡¯s Family?¡± Bai Yihe smiled, and a hint of craftiness flashed in his eyes. ¡°They¡¯re already on their way. They should be arriving soon.¡± Chapter 20 - Putting up a Show Chapter 20 Putting up a Show Qu Yao wore a veil and placed her right hand on the servant girl¡¯s arm. With the excuse that she could not see the road clearly, she walked very slowly and asked the servant girl beside her about the study room. The servant girl said that Bai Yihe did have a study room, but he never let anyone in. Even the cleaning was done by him. It seemed that there were some forbidden books in there, and the things recorded on them were all evil, that was why he was afraid that the bad guys would steal them. Qu Yao was happy. She, as a bad guy, planned to get her husband drunk on the wedding night and then steal the books to escape! Bai Yihe was a famous doctor in Tongcheng. His sudden marriage caused a sensation in Tongcheng. They sent their blessings one after another. The doorsill of the clinic was trampled, and the mountains of gifts in the courtyard kept collapsing. The clinic¡¯s servants ran back and forth. They were all very busy. The last time they were surrounded by so many people in Tongcheng was fifteen years ago. At that time, their faces were all fierce, and they wanted nothing more than to burn her into ashes. This time, everyone carried joy and blessings. There was no blood around, only the smell of wine. However, she knew clearly that these blessings had nothing to do with her. These people were all here to bless Bai Yihe. She was just basking in the glory. ¡°Madam is here.¡± Bai Yihe abandoned the people who were surrounding him and rushed to Qu Yao¡¯s side with his blind staff. Qu Yao quickly supported him. ¡°As a blind man, why are you in such a hurry?¡± Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but many of the surrounding guests heard her. Everyone had strange looks on their faces. Bai Yihe was famous for being kind and gentle. Everyone thought that the woman he married would definitely be demure and polite. However, the tone and wording of her words just now were clearly not like that. Bai Yihe was not angry. Instead, he coaxed qu Yao, ¡°I was wrong. I¡¯ll be more careful in the future.¡± People had never seen Bai Yihe like this, so even if it did not cause a commotion, whispers began to appear around them. A rude woman like Qu Yao did not give her husband any face in front of others. Who knew how she would bully Bai Yihe in the future! Even though they had never seen Qu Yao before, they did not have a good impression of her because of this sentence. They all felt that she was not worthy of Bai Yihe. After all, it was their wedding night. Even if they had any emotions, they did not say anything for Bai Xihe¡¯s sake. Just as Qu Yao and Bai Xihe were about to bow, the sky suddenly exploded with brilliant fireworks. Those fireworks lit up the entire city. Everyone was stunned by the magnificent fireworks, even Qu Yao lifted her veil and clapped her hands excitedly to admire them. ¡°What beautiful fireworks!¡± She asked Bai Yihe happily, ¡°Did you ask someone to put them there?¡± Before Bai Yihe could explain, a commotion came from the door. ¡°Move, move, move!¡± Qu Yao recognized the familiar voice. It was the Faceless Ghost. ¡°Where¡¯s my Yao Yao!?¡± Shadow¡¯s rough voice traveled through the courtyard and clearly fell into Qu Yao¡¯s ears. F*ck! What was this old thing trying to do? She squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. Faceless Ghost somehow got a clean piece of human skin and stood beside Shadow like a human, but how about Shadow? He actually turned into a handsome man, standing at the front of the line, and rushed in in a grandiose manner. ¡°Oh, my baby! I¡¯m late, can I still make it in time to drink?¡± Qu Yao walked closer, gritting her teeth as she whispered, ¡°Why are you here?¡± She glared at him. ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble for me!¡± Shadow pretended to be angry, but his tone really sounded like he was marrying off his daughter. ¡°How can a demon ancestor marry without an official document? I¡¯m here to support you.¡± Bai Yihe walked over, supported by An Er. ¡°I wonder which distinguished guest has arrived?¡± ¡°I¡¯m her¡­¡± ¡°Father!¡± Qu Yao cut off Shadow¡¯s words. ¡°This is my father!¡± Shadow thought in his heart: How dare I be her father? I¡¯ll be beaten to death by Yao Yao when I return to the demon world. ¡°Such a young father?¡± An Er¡¯s tone was unfriendly as she muttered softly, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve hooked up with a wild man from somewhere!¡± Chapter 21 - Killing Chickens Chapter 21 Killing Chickens The sudden arrival of the bride¡¯s family and friends caused quite a commotion. Bai Yihe berated in a low voice, ¡°An Er! Watch your language!¡± ¡°I take good care of myself, can¡¯t I?¡± Shadow was afraid Qu Yao would get angry. Even if he wanted to punch An Er to death, he would have to wait until the night is over. He changed the topic. ¡°Today is my daughter¡¯s wedding. On a day like this, I¡¯ll give her the world¡¯s largest fireworks display.¡±. He pointed back at the 100-meter-long line and said, ¡°These are the dowries I prepared for Yao Yao! In the future, if I find out that someone dares to bully our family¡¯s Yao Yao, I¡¯ll kill him¡­hmm¡­the whole family.¡± Qu Yao covered Shadow¡¯s mouth and stopped his passionate speech. ¡°Kill him for what?¡± Bai Yihe asked with a smile. Qu Yao smiled awkwardly. ¡°Kill his family¡¯s¡­ chickens! Yes, kill chickens. My father likes to kill chickens when he has nothing better to do.¡± Shadow and the guests fell silent. Bai Yihe politely invited, ¡°Since you¡¯re Yao Yao¡¯s father, you¡¯ll be my father from now on.¡± He instructed An Er, ¡°Find someone to arrange for father to sit at the front.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Yihe toasted Shadow in front of everyone. ¡°Today is Yao Yao¡¯s and my wedding day. Thank you, father, for taking care of her.¡± Histone was different from usual. There was less gentleness and more certainty, there was even a hint of provocation. ¡°From now on, leave Yao Yao to me. After tonight, I won¡¯t have to trouble father to take care of her.¡± What he meant was to put aside the relationship between Qu Yao and Shadow. How could Shadow not hear it? Unfortunately, Qu Yao was by his side. Shadow could only hold back the anger in his heart. Before drinking, Shadow stared at Bai Yihe with a fierce gaze. His eyes revealed a phrase, ¡°Just you wait!¡± Bai Yihe gently accepted and returned the gaze, ¡°Just you wait.¡± Qu Yao did not plan to drink that night, but Bai Yihe kept pulling her to toast the guests, and she was already starting to feel dizzy. Shadow and Faceless Ghost lingered around her, asking from time to time, ¡°Yao Yao, do you want me to drink on behalf of you?¡± ¡°No need!¡± Qu Yao thought to herself, no one can make me drunk! Bai Yihe had also drunk so much wine, why didn¡¯t he sway when he walked? Was it because he was blind? Unfortunately, she really couldn¡¯t drink anymore. Why was the wine so strong tonight? She had only drunk a little, but her feet had already gone soft. She managed to avoid everyone¡¯s gaze with great difficulty, holding the wine pot and swaying to the side of the pool in the south courtyard alone. She leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, her red skirt swaying with the wind, and the stars in the sky were brighter than usual. ¡°It would be great if it could continue like this,¡± she muttered to herself. ¡°The days will definitely move forward. No one can live a lifetime at a certain moment and time.¡± A cold voice interrupted her thoughts. ¡°Why are you hiding here alone?¡± Qu Yao saw Bai Yihe and the blind staff walking towards her. She asked curiously, ¡°How did you know I was here?¡± He gave a faint smile and the corners of his mouth curled up. His eyes reflected the bright moonlight in the darkness, and the blind staff hit the ground, making a crisp sound. ¡°You forgot that this is my courtyard, and my people are everywhere. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy to know where you are?¡±. That was true, but Bai Yihe was pretty good at walking to the pond by himself. Sometimes Qu Yao really wondered if he was blind. ¡°Little blind man!¡± Qu Yao asked Bai Yihe, who was approaching, ¡°Is day and night the same to you?¡± Bai Yihe was silent. He stood beside Qu Yao and took the initiative to pull Qu Yao¡¯s sleeve coquettishly. ¡°It¡¯s already very late. The guests have all dispersed. Take me back to my room to sleep.¡± She looked into Bai Yihe¡¯s eyes and coaxed him like a child, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you back.¡± Chapter 22 - Was It Urgent Chapter 22 Was It Urgent Qu Yao took his arm and went back to the room. The roof of his room had been repaired long ago, and there were red candles everywhere in the room. The fire lit up the room as if it was daytime. There were wine and desserts on the table, peanuts, red dates, and other nuts scattered on the bed. She sent Bai Yihe to the bedside and turned to leave. She had just taken half a step when her wrist was grabbed tightly. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Bai Yihe asked. ¡°Me? Of course I¡¯m going back to sleep!¡± Bai Yihe pulled her to the bed. ¡°Where are you going? We¡¯re husband and wife now. Of course we¡¯re going to sleep together.¡± As soon as he said that, there was a crash at the door. Bai Yihe asked in confusion, ¡°Is there anyone outside?¡± Shadow did not hide anymore and directly flashed into the room. Qu Yao looked at the furious Shadow with a terrified expression. ¡°No one. You heard wrong.¡± She awkwardly changed the topic. ¡°Aren¡¯t we in a hurry?¡± Bai Yihe smiled faintly. ¡°Are we in a hurry?¡± This kind of thing was normal for a couple. Only Qu Yao felt guilty and wanted to escape. Bai Yihe thought Qu Yao did not understand these things. He pulled her to sit beside him and comforted her. If there was anything he did not understand, he would slowly teach her. As he spoke, he slowly taught her. His hand had already begun to take off her clothes. Qu Yao was so frightened that she grabbed her clothes. ¡°Wait!¡± Shadow had already rushed to Bai Yihe¡¯s face. He clenched his fists tightly and stopped beside Bai Yihe¡¯s head. He used his lips to say, ¡°This demon ancestor wants to kill him!¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s gaze passed through the fists in front of him. He asked Qu Yao with a hazy glance, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She grabbed Shadow¡¯s collar and suddenly stood up. She walked to the table and poured the wine. Shadow actually took out a packet of ecstasy pills. Since Bai Yihe¡¯s was blind, he poured it into the wine glass openly. He glanced at the side of the bed and said, ¡°Let him drink it! If he dares to take advantage of you, I¡¯ll smash his head!¡± Qu Yao helplessly took it. ¡°Husband, we forgot to drink the wine.¡± She returned to the side of the bed and handed the wine to Bai Yihe. ¡°Yeah, look at me.¡± Bai Yinghe took the wine that had ecstasy pills. ¡°I¡¯ve been busy all day and forgot such an important thing.¡± He and Qu Yao crossed arms and drank the wine in the glass. Qu Yao took his empty glass and counted in her heart as she walked to the table. ¡°Three, two, one.¡± Fall! Finally, Shadow didn¡¯t need to make eye contact anymore. He sat on the table and drank the wine. ¡°Little bastard, how dare he take off your clothes in front of you? He doesn¡¯t want to live anymore!¡± Qu Yao stared at him. Shadow quietly got down from the table and poured the wine for Qu Yao. ¡°Yao Yao, didn¡¯t you want to find a book? His study room is in the south courtyard. I can move it for you to the demon world anytime. You can see it whenever you want!¡± ¡°Besides, you came to the human world for revenge. Now that your enemy is dead, why do you need to stay in the human world for so long? You don¡¯t know that in the heavenly world and human world, no matter if it¡¯s a man or a god, they are all the same. It¡¯s very complicated! You¡¯d better come back to the demon world with me.¡± Qu Yao naturally wanted to go back to the demon world, but now was not the time. ¡°Have you found the water ghost that I asked you to find? !¡± She originally planned to investigate it herself, but now that she got married unexpectedly, it was inconvenient for her to have someone watching her. The Shadow¡¯s arrival could help her find clues. ¡°I found it. Crow just informed me that the water ghost is in the black lake east of Tongcheng.¡± ¡°Black lake?¡± Qu Yao remembered that when she and her sister fell into the lake when they were young, it was in the east of Tongcheng. However, that lake was called Green Wave Lake. She didn¡¯t remember that there was a black lake there. ¡°Crow¡¯s spiritual power is low, so it doesn¡¯t dare to get too close. It asked around with the other demon beasts and said that the lake used to be called Green Wave Lake. Later, due to the water ghost¡¯s unrestricted prevalence, the lake became dark. There aren¡¯t many people in the nearby villages anymore. If you want to go, you can go anytime, but I have to follow you.¡± According to crow¡¯s feedback, the water ghost rarely went ashore. It only pulled a few passing boats into the lake and then ate those people. But later on, people didn¡¯t dare to go, so the water ghost couldn¡¯t help but go ashore to find people. In the past few years, many immortals had come here, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn¡¯t destroy this water ghost. Recently, many demons and monsters escaped from the demon world and killed people everywhere, which had already attracted the attention of the gods in the heavens. They heard that the God of Order, Ines, was coming to the human world. War God Atlas might also come. Therefore, they had to quickly end things in Tongcheng and get out of here and leave this place. Otherwise, if these gods discovered them, they would inevitably have a fight. Chapter 23 - Beauty Chapter 23 Beauty On the night of the wedding, Qu Yao first discussed the matter of the water ghost with Shadow in front of Bai Yihe, then went to the Black Lake with Shadow to investigate. When it was almost dawn, Bai Yihe was still lying on the bed with his clothes on. Qu Yao sent Shadow away as soon as she came back so that he would not be discovered. Shadow hesitated for a moment and asked, ¡°Yao Yao, did you get a sword before you left the demon world?¡± She didn¡¯t mention this to anyone. After coming to the human world, she deliberately hid the spiritual energy of the God and Demon sword to prevent the immortals from discovering the demon energy. ¡°How do you know?¡± Shadow clenched his hand. ¡°That¡¯s the God and Demon sword. It acknowledged you as its master, right?¡± Qu Yao felt that Shadow¡¯s expression was very strange. It didn¡¯t look worried or happy. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°The day you left the demon world, I saw the light of the God and Demon sword. It wasn¡¯t just me. Everyone in the world saw it. Now, all the demons and gods are looking for you. You must be careful!¡± He did not mention the origins of the God and Demon sword. He only hoped that Qu Yao could successfully resolve the matter and return to the demon world safely. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They won¡¯t be able to defeat me.¡± When Qu Yao had nothing to do in the demon world, she learned many forbidden arts that were not available outside. Her magic power was very powerful. Before dawn, she helped Bai Yihe take off his clothes and pretended to sleep, lying beside him. When Bai Yihe woke up, he still felt dizzy. He touched his side and found Qu Yao still sleeping. Usually, he would get up early, but today, he didn¡¯t know how long he had slept. ¡°Ah, you¡¯re awake?¡± Qu Yao was surprised and secretly smiled. ¡°I¡­¡± Bai Yihe rubbed his temples with a painful expression. ¡°I was really drunk last night.¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± She pretended to complain. ¡°You even said that if I don¡¯t know anything, you would teach me! Once I turned back, you went to sleep first!¡± Qu Yao put her hands on her hips. ¡°Hmph!¡± Bai Yihe quickly apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know what happened. I might have been too happy yesterday and accidentally drank too much. I¡¯ll definitely make it up to you in the future.¡± Make it up? ¡°How are you going to make it up to me?¡± ¡°What do you want? As long as I have it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± He sat straight and held Qu Yao¡¯s hand as he promised, ¡°I won¡¯t drink anymore in the future.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Faced with such a beautiful and handsome face, coupled with a sincere and aggrieved expression, Qu Yao¡¯s heart completely softened. How could there be such a person in this world? He wasn¡¯t powerful, and he didn¡¯t want to flirt. A face that was that clean could scarcely be called as pure. What should it be, exactly? With those gentle facial features, it could only be described as beautiful. It was the kind of beauty that was shiny, like light. His blind eyes gave him a natural sense of innocence and pity. It made people want to hold him in their hearts and give him their hearts and livers, but they were also afraid that those bloody items might scare him. She did not want him to be tainted by everything in this world, for fear of dirtying his beauty. A smile from him would make people feel like they were bathed in sunlight. His tears would make people unable to resist giving him all the good things. Every time Qu Yao heard his words, she felt that he was the only good person in this world. Even if he did something wrong, she would only think that it was a kind of cuteness. Qu Yao did not dare to think too much about it. This feeling¡­ was both familiar and strange. She thought of the beautiful brother she met when she was five years old. Qu Yao shook her head gently to wake herself up from her infatuation. Be rational! Be rational! ¡°I want to go to your study room to have a look.¡± Qu Yao said, ¡°You are the most famous doctor in Tongcheng, but I don¡¯t know anything about medicine. I want to have a look. Let¡¯s not talk about whether I can help you or not. Even if I go out in the future and other people ask about it, I won¡¯t embarrass you.¡± Bai Yihe touched her face gently. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to do anything, and you don¡¯t have to worry about embarrassing me. As long as you stay by my side quietly, it¡¯s enough.¡±. ¡°How can that be?¡± Qu Yao thought: No! I want to see it. I really want to see it. ¡°Okay,¡± he agreed dotingly. Chapter 24 - Water Ghost Chapter 24 Water Ghost Bai Yihe got up, picked up the blind cane at the bedside, and walked to a cabinet. He skillfully took out a small box from inside and slowly returned to the bed. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Bai Yihe took out a key from inside and placed it in Qu Yao¡¯s palm. ¡°This is the key to the study room. There are many precious books inside, so I¡¯ve been holding it all along. The other keys are in An Er¡¯s hands. I¡¯ll instruct him to get you a set later.¡± He held Qu Yao¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°From now on, this will be your home. Wherever you want to go, whether it¡¯s the study room or the clinic, you can go.¡± From now on, this would be your home.. This sentence kept circling in her mind, and it didn¡¯t go away for a long time. Home? She only had one home in the demon world. As for this human world.. Could I really have a home that belonged to me? Qu Yao didn¡¯t dare to think about it. After that day, Bai Yihe always brought back gifts for Qu Yao from outside. Sometimes it was jewelry, sometimes it was food. Qu Yao was intoxicated by Bai Yihe¡¯s attentive care, but she didn¡¯t forget about her own matters. She went to the Black Lake to investigate. The lake water there was as black as ink, and it was surrounded by weeds. It was very desolate. The village next to it seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time. This was actually beneficial to Qu Yao¡¯s operation, so that she wouldn¡¯t be discovered. She transformed into a snake tail and dived into the water along the shore. The bottom of the water was very muddy, and the visibility was less than half a meter. There were many rotten corpses and weeds floating inside. Qu Yao regretted jumping in. How was this a water ghost? It was clearly a sloppy ghost! The deep lake was very quiet. Jing Yao shot out a beam of red light and finally saw the road ahead. As she continued to go deeper, she felt a surge of power not far away. The power surged for a while, then suddenly rushed over. Qu Yao struck out with her palm, and the other party quickly fled. After that, no matter how hard she tried, she could not find the figure of the water ghost. ¡°I¡¯m so frustrated!¡± Qu Yao sat on a rock by the shore. As she plucked the seaweed on her head, she cursed, ¡°What Water Ghost? I think it¡¯s a sloppy ghost! A fleeing ghost! A coward!!¡± The Faceless Ghost quickly went forward to help her wipe the water, ¡°My little ancestor, why did you go down by yourself? I thought you were just here for a stroll. If I had said that you were going down, I would have helped you take a look. How could I let you do such a dirty and tiring job in person?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Then what did you do earlier? ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going back to change my clothes.¡± She pointed at the Faceless Ghost¡¯s nose. ¡°You! You have to think of a way to lure that water ghost out for me!¡± Everyone said that her sister had been killed by the water ghost. Even if she was really dead, she would still want to see her sister¡¯s body. If she was eaten by the water ghost, she would rip open the water ghost¡¯s stomach and dig out her sister¡¯s body from the water ghost¡¯s stomach and grind it into powder! ¡°Okay, okay, okay!¡± Faceless Ghost answered enthusiastically with a face that was different from the one on their wedding day. Qu Yao stopped in her tracks, preparing to leave. ¡°Why did you change into another human skin? Did you start killing people again?!¡± Her expression scared the Faceless Ghost to his knees. ¡°I am innocent, little ancestor! I¡¯m using the skin of a dead person.¡± The demon ancestor was worried that he would scare people when he went out, so he specifically told him to wear a human skin. However, he was afraid that using the skin of a living person would upset Qu Yao, so he had to dig a grave and get some skin of someone who had just died. Due to it being a dead person, the skin could only be used for a few days. Even if he used his magic power, it could only last for a month at most. The Faceless Ghost had just come to the human world, so in order to keep it fresh, he would change his skin every two days if he felt that it was not useful. ¡°It¡¯s not for the best. If I find out that you¡¯re causing trouble for the demon world, I¡¯ll tear off this skin, which is without any facial features!¡± When Qu Yao returned home, she did not see Bai Yihe. When the surrounding maids saw her return in a sorry state, they all asked her what had happened with concern. The others took the initiative to boil water for her, preparing to change her clothes. Initially, these people did not have a good attitude towards Qu Yao who had suddenly appeared. In addition, Qu Yao had an unrestrained personality and was unruly and unbridled. Everyone hated her even more. However, after they got married, Bai Yihe took the opportunity when she was not around to make things clear to everyone. From now on, Qu Yao was the mistress of this family. No matter what attitude they had in the past, everyone had to be respectful towards her in the future. Qu Yao sat in front of the mirror and laboriously dismantled the headdress that was tangled with her hair. It took her a long time to remove two of them. There was still one that was the most complicated. A crisp sound came from the door. It was the sound of a blind cane hitting the ground. ¡°Yao Yao? You¡¯re back?¡± Bai Yihe came in holding the door frame. Qu Yao was about to go over to pick him up when he suddenly saw her sloppy clothes. ¡°Stand still!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Yihe stopped. ¡°Why is there a stench?¡± Chapter 25 - He Was Blind Chapter 25 He Was Blind Qu Yao was really smelly. She sighed deeply and said, ¡°I fell into the water and got dirty. You¡¯d better stay away from me. Be careful not to get your clothes dirty too.¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Yihe had already walked quickly towards her with stumbling steps. He did not care about the blind cane pointing the way. He even knocked against the table and asked nervously, ¡°Why did you fall into the water? Is it the pond in the South Courtyard?¡± He ignored Qu Yao¡¯s struggle and touched her face to her body. ¡°Are you okay? It¡¯s all my fault.¡± ¡°How can it be your fault?¡± Qu Yao was baffled. It was not Bai Yihe who pushed her into the water. How could it be his fault? ¡°It¡¯s my fault for not taking good care of you. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll get someone to fill up the pond in the South Courtyard.¡± ¡°You can leave. I¡¯m going to take a bath in a while.¡± As they spoke, two servant girls brought in two buckets of hot water. They greeted Bai Yihe, then one filled the bathtub with water while the other helped Qu Yao remove her make-up. ¡°Both of you can leave. I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s voice was clear, but his words sounded like a bomb in Qu Yao¡¯s ears. ¡°You?!¡± She turned around in shock. The two maidservants were obedient. They covered their faces and sneakily laughed as they left. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± Qu Yao tried to stop them, but was stopped by Bai Yihe. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although I can¡¯t see, the feeling in my hands is very accurate. I can help you.¡± ¡°But I have to take off my clothes and take a shower?¡± Is this something that he could help? Based on the feelings in his hands, would he touch every part of her body! Bai Yihe smiled innocently. ¡°I can¡¯t see anyway.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Fine, you have a point. Qu Yao didn¡¯t know why she was getting hotter and hotter, and her heart was beating faster and faster. Especially when his fingers touched her body, she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. She repeated it a hundred times in her heart: He¡¯s blind, he¡¯s blind, he¡¯s blind.. After two hours, she was finally free from the blind man¡¯s hands. Bai Yihe reached into the bathtub, wanting to carry Qu Yao out. Qu Yao was so scared that she quickly pushed him away. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself! I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± She had to at least put on some clothes before he carried her! Qu Yao was now like a cooked duck. She did not know if the water was too hot or if she was burning Just as she wrapped her clothes, Bai Yihe carried her up. Her feet suddenly rose into the air and she cried out in shock, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Bai Yihe, ¡°I¡¯m carrying you to the bed.¡± ¡°¡­ You don¡¯t have a blind cane. You¡¯re a blind man carrying someone and you still wanted to walk? Don¡¯t bring me along and fall together.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. You are my eyes.¡± He lowered his head and looked at Qu Yao gently. ¡°I¡¯ll walk asyou say.¡± ¡­.. Fifteen years ago, her sister had said the same thing to Qu Yao. In the middle of the night, by the lakeside, her sister smiled and said to little Qu Yao behind her, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. If you¡¯re afraid, follow me. I¡¯ll be your eyes. You¡¯ll walk the way I walk.¡± However, she followed her sister¡¯s footsteps and walked into the bottomless abyss. ¡°Say it. Walk forward first, right?¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s voice interrupted Qu Yao¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Yes.¡± Her voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°Walk fifteen steps forward.¡±. Bai Yihe steadily walked fifteen steps forward. ¡°Walk thirteen steps to the left.¡± ¡°Turn right to avoid the table.¡± ¡°Walk another twenty steps forward and you¡¯ll be there.¡± As Qu Yao said this, Bai Yihe followed along for a while. He silently counted the steps in his heart. Qu Yao also kept her eyes on the ground, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, afraid that she would fall down. Originally, 20 steps was just right, but for some reason, Bai Yihe had only walked 19 steps before he arrived, but he had just taken one more step. Seeing that he was about to take another step and crash into the bed, Qu Yao quickly stopped him. ¡°Stop! Ah¡­¡± She was tightly protected by Bai Yihe and fell down in the end. Fortunately, she fell on the bed instead of the ground. Qu Yao could not push the man who was pressing down on her body no matter how hard she tried. She scolded in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to stop? Why are you still walking!¡± ¡°But we haven¡¯t reached twenty steps yet.¡± His leg seemed to have been hurt. His eyebrows were knitted tightly together. His hands were propped on Qu Yao¡¯s sides, and he could not get up for a long time. ¡°You little blind man, why are you so stubborn? Why didn¡¯t you listen to me when I told you to stop?¡± Qu Yao struggled to push Bai Yihe away, but she didn¡¯t expect to accidentally push Bai Yihe down. She watched as the man on her suddenly fell, and his lips accurately landed on the corner of her mouth. Qu Yao¡¯s big sparkling eyes widened even more. Bai Yihe also used his blind eyes to stare straight at Qu Yao who was in his arms. There was rare silence in the room. Chapter 26 - For a Long Time Chapter 26 For a Long Time When Qu Yao fled to the room next door, her clothes were still disheveled. It was not until the moment the door closed that Bai Yihe, who was lying on the bed, revealed an impudent smile. He used his fingers to gently stroke his lips, his gaze fixed on the empty space on the ceiling. An Er waited outside for a long time before he dared to come in. When he saw Bai Yihe¡¯s smug expression, he could not help but complain, ¡°Yo, what good thing did you get that you¡¯re so happy? Could it be that you picked up a goddess for nothing?¡± Bai Yihe stopped smiling. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± An Er pouted unhappily. ¡°Having a goddess is so different. You¡¯ve learned to change your expression.¡± He did not continue to complain, but instead told him in detail about Qu Yao¡¯s recent movements. ¡°The Faceless Ghost has been trying to lure that water ghost out of the Black Lake for the past two days. With his ability to change his expression every now and then, it won¡¯t be long before Qu Fang can¡¯t take it anymore.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± An Er paused for a moment and finally couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°You¡¯re the light of heaven and earth. What can¡¯t you see if you want to? Why do you need me to keep an eye on you every day?¡± Bai Yihe, ¡°I have other things to do.¡± ¡°What Things?¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of gloominess. ¡°I¡¯m meeting an old friend.¡± He tidied up his clothes and reminded An Er, ¡°Remember to prepare a set of keys for Qu Yao in the courtyard.¡± An Er looked at him slyly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re really in love with her?¡± Bai Yihe threatened, ¡°Are you bored? Do you need me to pluck your feathers?¡± An Er quickly slipped away. The invisible crane¡¯s wings were slightly aching. Before he left, he did not forget to scold, ¡°If I¡¯m right, I¡¯ll pluck your hair. Bai Yihe, you can¡¯t afford to play!!¡± Anyway, this courtyard was going to be abandoned sooner or later. What was the point of doing so many things?! This kind of person with a human face and the heart of a beast wanted to pull the banner and persuade the goddess to escape quickly! An Er vented joy in his heart and obediently went out to carry out the mission as usual. The water ghost was indeed unable to hold it in any longer. Normally, it would go ashore every three to five days to catch people, but ever since it was hit by Qu Yao, it had been hiding under the water for more than ten days. The Faceless Ghost disguised itself as a fisherman and rowed a small broken boat on the Black Lake every day. In order to make water ghost believe that he was human, he played extra scenes on the boat every day and cast his net seriously, he kept saying things like ¡®Why is the harvest so bad this year?¡¯ and ¡®My wife will definitely curse again if she knows that I didn¡¯t catch any fish.¡¯. The water ghost was getting a headache. Qu Yao heard the secret message from Crow. Faceless Ghost said that water ghost was coming out soon. Recently, there had been a lot of energy surging underwater. He was probably testing faceless ghost, so he hadn¡¯t made a move yet. She rushed out of the yard excitedly and bumped into Bai Yihe who had just entered the door. Bai Yihe staggered and hugged her. ¡°What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just want to go out for a walk.¡± He held Qu Yao¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t go out. I want to show you something good.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± He pulled Qu Yao into the room and took out a box from his pocket mysteriously. He had given Qu Yao a lot of things, and the accessories on the dressing table were almost too big to fit. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s the earrings and headdress again?¡± She felt that Bai Yihe was really sincere and unoriginal. Looking at his expectant face, Qu Yao did not want to spoil his mood, so she opened the box without any anticipation. ¡°Two red ropes?¡± ¡°Mm, you¡¯re too obedient. You don¡¯t ask for anything from me. I don¡¯t know what you like. It¡¯s as if you can accept anything I give you, but it¡¯s also as if you don¡¯t care about anything I give you.¡± Bai Yihe looked disappointed. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you suddenly agreed to marry me, but since we¡¯ve become husband and wife, I hope to do my best to take care of you. ¡°Ever since we got married, I¡¯ve bought everything I can for you. After thinking about it, I¡¯ve never given you a love item, so¡­¡± He took out the red rope from the box and touched Qu Yao¡¯s hand. Qu Yao took the initiative to hand it to him. ¡°So what?¡± Qu Yao¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. ¡°So I went to the marriage temple to ask for this pair of red ropes to bless us to be together for a long time.¡± Chapter 27 - Drunkenness Chapter 27 Drunkenness Bai Yihe¡¯s expression was too serious. Qu Yao looked into his eyes and listened to this clumsy confession. Her heart was beating like a drum. I¡¯m sorry. Qu Yao thought to herself: I lied to you. One day, I will leave. She did not dare to accept this red rope, and she did not dare to accept Bai Xihe¡¯s good intentions towards her anymore. She was afraid that she would accidentally fall for him. In the end, it was fine if she was sad, but she would hurt such a good person. Bai Yihe could not see the connection between the red rope. They tried for a long time but failed to tie it properly. Qu Yao sneered. Her voice was so shocked that even she was choking. ¡°So stupid!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Bai Yihe said embarrassedly. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but every time I¡¯m in front of you, I¡¯m always so clumsy.¡± ¡°This is the last time. I¡¯ll accept your good intentions one last time.¡¯ She thought to herself. Qu Yao helped herself with the red rope and put another one on Bai Yihe. She happily waved it in front of Bai Yihe¡¯s eyes, but she remembered that Bai Yihe couldn¡¯t see it. Bai Yihe also raised his wrist and asked in a show-off manner, ¡°Is it nice?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Qu Yao nodded seriously. ¡°It¡¯s nice!¡± Ever since they got married, Qu Yao always had many reasons to avoid sleeping together at night. Bai Yihe was never angry. Seeing that the water ghost was about to appear, Qu Yao knew that she did not have much time left. ore In the evening, she once again took several bottles of wine to the study room, using reading as an excuse. After reading for more than ten days, she also tactfully asked Bai Yihe and the clinic for a long time, but she still could not find any books on how to break the curse. The majority of the curses were about not being reincarnated or dying a horrible death, but the forbidden art of transforming a person into a half-human, half-beast was not mentioned. Looking at the thousands of books that she had not read, Qu Yao began to drink sadly. She stroked the red rope on her wrist and thought: Looks like I have to take away not only your heart and red rope, but also your study room before I leave. She drank for a long time. The wine in the human world was always better than the wine in the demon world. She drank everything from grain wine to fruit wine to wine made from all kinds of flowers. Today, she was drinking peach wine. The fragrance of peach flowers and wine spilled out from the crack of the door and spread throughout the entire courtyard. It was late at night, and Bai Yihe heard Qu Yao¡¯s faint breathing. He carefully opened the door of the study room and picked up the drunk Qu Yao. On the way back to the bedroom, Qu Yao had been sleeping, and it was much quieter than usual. He gently put Qu Yao on the bed, and Qu Yao began to take off her clothes by herself. As she took off her clothes, she cursed, ¡°What lousy clothes, it¡¯s so uncomfortable!¡± ¡°Wood chopper granny! I want new clothes!¡± ¡°Faceless Ghost!! Where¡¯s the wine? Drink! Keep drinking!!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just now, she was so quiet, now there was a commotion. Bai Yihe had heard of the wood chopper granny. She was an old woman who had been banished to the demon world a hundred years ago. She began to wreak havoc in the human world because her daughter, who was on the way to buy a doll, had been sold to a brothel by human traffickers and had been tortured to death. Wood chopper granny often chop off people¡¯s heads to make dolls for her dead daughter. After killing many people, she became tainted with evil aura and became a demon People gave her this nickname because she liked to chop off people¡¯s heads. ¡°With your current appearance, aren¡¯t you afraid that others would know that you¡¯re a witch?¡± Bai Yihe forcefully restrained Qu Yao, who was about to take off the last layer of her clothes. ¡°Enough, if you take it off again, I won¡¯t be polite to you!¡± Qu Yao pouted aggrievedly, her voice carrying a sobbing tone. ¡°Sob sob, you¡¯re angry at me!¡± She struggled to hit Bai Yihe, ¡°You¡¯re all angry at me! An Er is angry at me, the servant girls are angry at me, the entire city doesn¡¯t like me! Now, even you¡¯re angry at me!¡± Qu Yao kicked Bai Yihe away, and Bai Yihe fell to the ground, rubbing his chest as he looked at her in surprise. Why was this woman like this when she was drunk? Qu Yao stood on the bed, pointed at the roof and shouted, ¡°Shadow! Bring me the evil spirit who has done the most evil! I want to practice my 80-meter God and Demon Sword!¡± It was an exaggeration to say 80 meters, but it was true that she wanted to kill the evil spirit. Bai Yihe quickly got up, but he did not have time to stop Qu Yao¡¯s mouth. Shadow immediately appeared when he heard Qu Yao¡¯s call. Bai Yihe immediately raised his arms and groped in the air. ¡°Yao Yao, Yao Yao, where are you? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Bai Yihe returned to blind mode and anxiously called Qu Yao¡¯s name. It was as if they were two different people. He grabbed Qu Yao¡¯s hand and hugged Qu Yao in front of Shadow. Chapter 28 - Snake Chapter 28 Snake Shadow was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The moment he swung his fist, a gust of wind that could blow a person¡¯s headed straight towards Bai Yihe. ¡°Argh!¡± Just as the evil wind was about to hit him, Bai Yihe fell onto the bed with Qu Yao in his arms. The gust of wind made a hole in the wall. He apologized gently and guiltily, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Yao Yao. I couldn¡¯t see. I fell down by accident.¡±. He tugged at Qu Yao¡¯s clothes. Although half of Qu Yao¡¯s shoulder was exposed, he used his body to block it so Shadow couldn¡¯t see it. However, Shadow could see half of Qu Yao¡¯s clothes being pulled down by half. ¡°Let me check if you¡¯re injured.¡± He reached out and touched Qu Yao¡¯s collar. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although I can¡¯t see it, the feeling in my hands has never been wrong.¡± Shadow couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and rushed over. He raised the dagger high in his hand and aimed it at Bai Yihe¡¯s back. Just as the dagger was about to fall, Bai Yihe held Qu Yao and used his skill to switch their positions. Qu Yao completely lay on Bai Yihe¡¯s body and buried her head in his neck. Shadow used all his strength to stab Bai Yihe with his dagger. However, seeing the change in position, he quickly changed its direction. The tip of the dagger brushed past Qu Yao¡¯s clothes on her back. He covered his mouth and shouted in his heart, ¡°F*ck!¡± He was so close to stabbing the dagger into his beloved Yao Yao with his own hands!! His entire body was covered in cold sweat. He glared fiercely at Bai Yihe, who was smiling innocently, and disappeared into the room. Bai Yihe held Qu Yao, who was lying on his body, and put his hands on her waist. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Do you want to sleep with me today?¡± The room was very quiet. Only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard outside the door. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it as a yes,¡± he whispered in Qu Yao¡¯s ear. That night, Qu Yao slept very soundly. She dreamed of her life before she was five years old. Although her memory was blurry, there were still some fragments of her life. Her father was sick in bed, but he still loved her very much. He dragged his sick body to buy her delicious osmanthus crisps. She always wanted to eat candied haws, but her father was worried that she would spoil her teeth. It was not until the day he died that he sent someone to buy it for her, he said that it was okay to eat them once in a while. Unfortunately, she did not eat the string of candied haws, because when she got it, her sister¡¯s earth-shattering crying came from the room. At that time, she was about four years old. Her sister had always been good to her. She told her father and mother that they had become stars. Whenever she missed them, she would look up at the stars. Unfortunately, the city was full of candlelight and lanterns. She always felt that she could not see clearly. When she was five years old, her sister suddenly said that she would take her to the vicinity of Green Wave Lake. That place was closest to the stars, so she could see them clearly. Her dream ended here. The only good things in the human world happened to be recalled all over again this night. The sky was bright. She rubbed her aching head and saw where she slept. This bed¡­ She suddenly woke up. She had drunk too much last night and actually slept in Bai Yihe¡¯s room. At this moment, she was in Bai Yihe¡¯s arms! She wanted to push him away, but she was afraid that she would wake him up. She used two fingers to push his shoulders away. Just as she was about to get up, she was hugged even tighter by Bai Yihe. ¡°I was so tired last night. Let¡¯s sleep a little longer.¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°¡­¡± What did he mean by ¡®so tired? She hurriedly looked at her clothes and let out a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not taken off her clothes. It seemed that nothing had happened. Just as she relaxed for a second, she suddenly woke up. Tail!! Bai Yihe was letting her golden snake tail wrap around his legs! He also touched it while he was half asleep. ¡°What¡¯s wrapping around me?¡± Bai Yihe didn¡¯t open his eyes, but his hand had already grabbed the snake tail. ¡°Don¡¯t ¨C¡° Ah¡­It¡¯s over. ¡°Snake!¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s eyes were wide open as he screamed in pain and quickly threw the snake tail away. Qu Yao finally had a chance to turn the snake¡¯s tail back into her legs. Before she could catch her breath, she was pulled off the bed by a strong force. ¡°Run!! Yao Yao, run!! Don¡¯t mind me!¡± Bai Yihe held the blind cane by the bedside and beat around on the bed, dragging Qu Yao off the bed. Qu Yao wanted to stop him, and she kept comforting him, ¡°It ran away, it ran away¡­¡± Unexpectedly, Bai Yihe held the blind staff tightly and fainted straight away. Chapter 29 - The Most Gentle Person Chapter 29 The Most Gentle Person The sound of frantic footsteps could be heard from outside. ¡°Snake? What snake!!¡± An Er and a few servants rushed in. When they saw that their master had fainted on the ground, Qu Yao stood to the side in disheveled clothes. The men who had followed her quickly hid away. Qu Yao did not care about so many formalities. She shouted, ¡°What are you hiding from! It¡¯s not like I¡¯m not wearing anything! Hurry up and come in and pull your master onto the bed!¡± The few of them came in again in a panic, and with five or six hands, they helped Bai Yihe and him onto the bed. An Er asked, ¡°I heard him shouting that there was a snake? Where is it? I¡¯ll go get someone to catch it!¡± Qu Yao leaned against the side of the bed, looking troubled. ¡°Is he¡­alright?¡± ¡°My master fainted from shock. Just give him some sedative medicine later.¡± She was shocked. ¡°He still has to take medicine?¡± He was so weak. If he knew that the snake¡¯s tail was hers, wouldn¡¯t he be scared to death? ¡°I thought he couldn¡¯t see? How could he still faint from shock?¡± An Er explained, ¡°Master was bitten by a snake when he went up the mountain to pick herbs. That snake was extremely poisonous and almost killed him. That¡¯s why he couldn¡¯t stand it when he heard about snakes.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll find someone to buy some snake-repelling medicine,¡± An Er muttered to hIMself. ¡°How can there be snakes in the house? I¡¯ve never heard of them before.¡± Qu Yao: ¡°¡­¡± because I didn¡¯t come before. After everyone left, she sat by the bed alone, feeling melancholic. She looked at the unconscious Bai Yihe and fell into deep thought. How could there be such a delicate and beautiful person in this world? He fainted after being scared, which made people feel both sorry and guilty. No one knew when the Faceless Ghost had stood in the room. He was not wearing human skin today, but a face without facial features. ¡°Who is he?¡± He gritted his teeth and complained, ¡°How dare he marry the demon ancestor with such a cowardly appearance? The tens of thousands of demons in the demon world wouldn¡¯t even dare to dream about it! But he actually fainted after touching your noble snake tail!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Qu Yao didn¡¯t turn her head, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, then get lost!¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Faceless Ghost quickly admitted his mistake. In fact, what he said was right. It was Qu Yao¡¯s snake tail that gave her a mysterious status in the demon world. This feeling was like the belief of a god. Shadow not only used her identity as a half-human and half-beast to help her establish a basic status in the demon world, but later on, he also let her kill all the evil spirits in the demon world and made the entire demon world submit to her. They not only protected her to grow up, but also gave her a supreme position. She grew up in the midst of killing and was doted on by the evil spirits. Her magic power rose gradually, and eventually, she became the demon lord that all the demons respected. The Faceless Ghost smiled and said that the water ghost planned to make a move in two days. Today, the water ghost had already made a move, but he deliberately left before the water ghost made his move, and left a message saying that he would bring his friends to fish in two days. He was sure that the water ghost had heard this and even took the initiative to throw two fish onto the shore for him. Qu Yao looked at Bai Yihe, who had not woken up yet. ¡°I got it. You can go back first.¡± There was no change in her expression. She pulled Bai Yihe¡¯s hand and whispered, ¡°In two days, I might have to leave. In the future¡­¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s hand moved slightly. He held Qu Yao¡¯s hand tightly and kept muttering, ¡°There¡¯s a snake. Yao Yao, go quickly. Yao Yao, go quickly.¡± He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He stood up and hugged Qu Yao, asking anxiously, ¡°Are you okay? Are you hurt?¡± After asking for a long time, he apologized in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡± Qu Yao touched his back and comforted him, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Why do you keep apologizing to me!¡± He buried his head in Qu Yao¡¯s heart and acted like a spoiled child, feeling wronged. ¡°I was too weak. When I encountered danger, not only did I fail to protect you, but I even fainted. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± ¡°What are you saying!¡± Qu Yao helped him to his feet, she said firmly, ¡°You are the best person in this world! You are the only good person I, Qu Yao, have ever met in my entire life! When you touched the snake, you did not run away first. Instead, you pulled me away first. That is why you are very brave!¡± She did not say that it was the first time in her life that she had met such a gentle person. There was no one in heaven and earth who was more gentle than Bai Yihe. It was the first time that she had the urge to protect someone. It was the first time that she thought that it would be great if she could always be like this. ¡°Take me out for a walk.¡± Qu Yao stroked his hair. ¡°I haven¡¯t gone shopping with you yet.¡± She was used to the dark demon world and walking alone at night. She had never walked the bustling road of the human world with anyone. ¡°Good,¡± Bai Yihe agreed immediately, ¡°Where you want to go, I will go with you!¡± Chapter 30 - Buy Chapter 30 Buy The scorching sun was just right, and the streets were bustling with activity. There were hawking sounds everywhere. Children were chasing each other and playing games by the roadside. Men and women¡¯s faces were filled with joy as they brushed past them. Even though Bai Yihe could not see the road, he still took the initiative to protect Qu Yao from the inside of the road. ¡°See if there¡¯s anything you like. Just buy it.¡± His smile was like the sun in the sky, making Qu Yao¡¯s heart warm up. She laughed and said, ¡°You say it like you¡¯re rich.¡± How could he squander like this in the future? Usually, the clinic was already losing money. Qu Yao had heard more than once from the staff complaining that Bai Yihe often treated patients for free and did not accept the money from the poor for their medicine. It was fine if that was the case, but he would still go out for free consultations every now and then. In the eyes of others, he was a good person blessed by the gods, but in the eyes of the people around him, he was a big fool who never thought of himself. In order to ensure the operation of the clinic, Bai Yihe and his assistants often went up the mountain to pick herbs together. This way, they could save a lot of money on the cost of buying medicine. Otherwise, the clinic would have closed down long ago! Bai Yihe held Qu Yao with one hand and propped up his blind cane with the other. ¡°Although I don¡¯t have tens of thousands of money, it¡¯s not a problem for me to support you. Don¡¯t worry about what you want to buy for food and clothing. Just buy it. I can afford it.¡± Qu Yao deliberately asked, ¡°Then I want all the shops on this street. Will you buy them for me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Yihe stopped and turned around to face Qu Yao. He did not speak with a firm tone, but his tone was still gentle. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I only have enough money to buy one-third of the shops on this street. But don¡¯t worry. Give me two more years and I¡¯ll definitely buy all the shops on this street for you.¡± ¡°Alright, Alright.¡± Qu Yao saw that he was getting more and more serious as he spoke. He was so silly that he was cute. ¡°I¡¯m just teasing you. Why do I need so many shops?¡± She walked briskly with Bai Yihe and continued walking. ¡°I don¡¯t want any shops. It¡¯s very troublesome! I want to eat candied haws!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± He agreed dotingly. ¡°Yao Yao can eat whatever she wants.¡± Bai Yihe and Qu Yao followed a familiar direction and found an old man selling candied haws. The old man greeted Bai Yihe and Qu Yao kindly. ¡°Doctor Bai, it¡¯s been a long time..¡± ¡°Uncle, nice to meet you. My wife wants to eat candied haws, so she came here specially to buy them.¡± Bai Yihe said to Qu Yao, ¡°Take a look. Let uncle help you get whichever you want to eat.¡± The old man said in surprise, ¡°Oh! So this is madam. I heard that Doctor Bai is getting married some time ago, so I wanted to go personally to congratulate you. But my wife was not feeling well, so I couldn¡¯t go. I¡¯m really sorry!¡± ¡°I¡¯m already very happy that uncle has this kind of intention. Your family¡¯s health is still more important.¡± The old man picked up two skewers of candied haws and handed them to Qu Yao. ¡°Here, take them.¡± Bai Yihe naturally took out the money, but the old man quickly stopped him. ¡°No need, no need. This old man doesn¡¯t have anything valuable. My wife recovered from her sickness all because of your help. Take this as my wedding gift to the two of you.¡± ¡°Okay, then thank you, uncle.¡± Qu Yao held the candied haws and watched from the side, like she was appreciating a work of art. Even when they were about to leave, Bai Yihe had to remind her. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving? Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°No.¡± Qu Yao continued to stare at Bai Yihe¡¯s face. ¡°I just saw something very beautiful, so I was a little fascinated.¡± Bai Yihe leaned over to Qu Yao, his face almost touching hers. He smiled and asked, ¡°What is it? Is it as beautiful as me?¡± Qu Yao bashfully gave him a gentle slap, then shook off his hand and ran two steps forward. How could this guy be so good with words now? He had clearly never said that he loved her or anything like that, but it always disturbed her mind. She took a bite of the candied haws and turned around to tease Bai Yihe. ¡°How is it? You don¡¯t dare to leave without me, do you?¡± However, she did not see Bai Yihe¡¯s figure. Instead, she saw a vulgar man shouting loudly with a few passersby around him. Through the gaps in the crowd, Qu Yao recognized Bai Yihe¡¯s clothes. ¡°Get out of the way!¡± She pushed aside the onlookers and helped Bai Yihe up from the ground. ¡°What happened?¡± Her expression was serious, but her voice was very gentle. Chapter 31 - The World Isnt Good, and You Dont Deserve to See It Chapter 31 The World Isn¡¯t Good, and You Don¡¯t Deserve to See It Qu Yao didn¡¯t know when it started, but she was afraid of scaring the beautiful man beside her even if she spoke a little louder. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Bai Yihe used her arm as supportand stood up. The vulgar man was very strong. His had a brownish-black face, and his sleeves were rolled up in his forearm. ¡°Where did this woman come from? Do you know him?¡± Qu Yao coldly said, ¡°I¡¯m his wife.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good! Pay up! Your man has dirtied my clothes!¡± Just now, after Qu Yao left, Bai Yihe accidentally bumped into this man, but he was the one who fell. In his panic, he used his blind cane to pick up some soil and dirtied this man¡¯s clothes. Seeing that Bai Yihe was about to pay up, Qu Yao stopped him. Her eyes were full of viciousness. ¡°He¡¯s blind. Are you blind too?¡± The man was a little scared by Qu Yao¡¯s stare, but he still mustered up his courage and said, ¡°He¡¯s blind. Why isn¡¯t he staying at home? Why is he wandering around?¡± Although the people beside him sympathized with Bai Yihe, they also felt that it made sense. They were all trying to persuade Qu Yao in a low voice, ¡°Miss, this brawny man is right. Since he can¡¯t see the road, he should stay at home. Not to mention that it¡¯s inconvenient, but if something happens, it¡¯s not good either!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± Bai Xihe handed the money to the brawny man and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. We¡¯ll be careful next time.¡± Qu Yao felt a chill all over her body. Her whole body trembled as she controlled the anger in her body. However, her eyes could not help but redden, and the God and Demon Sword was almost showing its true form. Just as she was about to make a move, she felt her clenched fist being held by a warm hand. ¡°Yao Yao, I want to go home. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Qu Yao stood there for a long time before she managed to say, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bring you home.¡± That night, Qu Yao drank a lot alone on the roof. The scene during the day kept flashing in her mind, alternating with the scene of her being surrounded and killed by the entire city fifteen years ago. ¡°Yao Yao?¡± A familiar voice came from the courtyard. Bai Yihe held his blind cane and looked for Qu Yao everywhere. Qu Yao quietly flew down from the roof and patted his shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Bai Yihe turned around and leaned closer to Qu Yao to sniff. ¡°You drank again?¡± Qu Yao handed the wine to him. ¡°Do you want to drink? Together.¡± He took the wine bottle. ¡°Have you forgotten? I promised you that I wouldn¡¯t drink anymore. Besides, drinking is bad for your health. You should drink less. I¡¯ll be worried.¡± It was rare for Qu Yao not to argue with him anymore. She was unusually quiet. ¡°You¡¯re so quiet today. Did something happen?¡± He touched Qu Yao¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about anything. I¡¯m here.¡± Qu Yao still looked at Bai Yihe in a daze. ¡ª Little blind man, I¡¯m leaving tomorrow. She held the hand that was still above her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just want to see the stars.¡± Bai Yihe looked worried. ¡°Why are your hands so cold?¡± He put her hand in his arms and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at the stars. Go inside and drink some hot tea. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Qu Yao washed her hands for a long time today before she went home. During the day, she took Bai Yihe home and went out alone to find the man who had knocked Bai Yihe down. She dug out the man¡¯s eyes. She was worried that the blood on her hands would dirty Bai Yihe¡¯s things, so she washed her hands outside for a long time before going home. She let Bai Yihe pour tea for herself and warm her hands. Her eyes were constantly looking at him. ¡°If only you could see it.¡± Qu Yao could not help but sigh. Bai Yihe looked up. She looked at those beautiful eyes and said regretfully, ¡°Forget it. This world isn¡¯t good, and you don¡¯t deserve to see it.¡± The person in front of her sneered. ¡°What are you talking about, my little fool?¡±. He opened his arms and carefully hugged Qu Yao. ¡°As long as you are by my side, it¡¯s equivalent to having eyes. I¡¯m already very happy that you can see the scenery of this world for me.¡± Qu Yao did not reach out to hug him back. She was afraid that if she hugged him, she would not want to let go. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you can¡¯t see the stars with me.¡± Chapter 32 - Sunbathing Chapter 32 Sunbathing Qu Yao had an unexplainable obsession with stars that she could not let go of for more than twenty years. She had yet to see the brightest stars, and had yet to find the two that belonged to her parents. Bai Sihe¡¯s voice rang in her ears. ¡°Don¡¯t look at the stars. Stars only appear in the dark. Let¡¯s go sunbathing tomorrow! The sun is warmer and brighter.¡± Qu Yao was jolted awake at that moment. It was as if her meridians had been opened and her blood was boiling. The stars only appear in the dark¡­ this sentence was like a whirlpool in her mind. That¡¯s right! Why didn¡¯t she look at the sun instead of focusing on the speckled stars? She was stunned in Bai Yihe¡¯s embrace for a long time until Bai Yihe pulled her onto the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t go to the study room tonight. Stay.¡± Looking at Bai Yihe¡¯s serious face, Qu Yao completely gave up struggling. ¡°Okay.¡± They lay quietly together, Bai Yihe and Qu Yao holding her hand tightly. After a long time, Qu Yao, who had her eyes closed, finally couldn¡¯t help but speak. She really couldn¡¯t fall asleep. ¡°Bai Yihe, are you asleep?¡± She still had her eyes closed. Although she couldn¡¯t fall asleep, she was too lazy to open them. ¡°No.¡± Bai Yinghe¡¯s voice was like a firefly in the night wind, faintly discernible. ¡°Then why haven¡¯t you said anything? What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking about you.¡± The sudden words of love made Qu Yao¡¯s heart stop for a second. She opened her eyes and saw that Bai Yihe had been looking at her. ¡°Why are you staring at me? You can¡¯t even see!¡± Her words sounded angry, but it sounded more like she was acting coquettishly. Bai Yihe smiled but did not say anything. She raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Yihe¡¯s eyelashes. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly. ¡°Tell me, why don¡¯t people tolerate special people?¡± Bai Yihe wrapped his arms around her waist and buried her head in his arms. ¡°Not everything in this world has an answer.¡± He exhaled gently, and his warm breath blew on Qu Yao¡¯s hair. ¡°Sleep, remember what you promised me.¡± His voice became lower and lower, as if he was talking in his sleep. ¡°Come with me to sunbath tomorrow.¡± Qu Yao could hear his heartbeat, as well as her own heartbeat. She did not answer, but quietly closed her eyes. ¡­.. Crow had come early to inform Qu Yao about the Black Lake. When Qu Yao left, Bai Yihe was still sleeping. She had Shadow move Bai Yihe¡¯s study room away. She only took the red rope on her wrist, and the rest of the things were left in their original positions. Everything here was tricked by her, and should not have belonged to her in the first place. Faceless Ghost successfully lured water ghost ashore. His whole body was covered in dirty water, emitting the stench of the bottom of the lake. He wore a new human skin and scolded water ghost, ¡°How the f*ck are you uglier than me?¡± Water Ghost was a female ghost with disheveled hair, whose entire body has been soaked in water over time, resulting in white and wrinkled skin on the face, the five senses piled up together, and two huge eyes protruding from the eye sockets, raising the possibility that the eyes will fall off at any time. Water Ghost¡¯s hair flew in the wind, and she bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she roared at Faceless Ghost. A beam of red light fell from the sky, and the surrounding weeds scattered in all directions. When Qu Yao landed, even the black lake in the distance trembled and formed circles of ripples. The moment Water Ghost saw Qu Yao, she knew that she was no match for her. However, before she could escape, Faceless Ghost wrapped his long tongue around her neck. Stinky saliva dripped from her mouth as she shouted at Qu Yao. Qu Yao was annoyed by her shouting and gave Water Ghost a slap across the air. ¡°Do you know a woman named Qu Fang?¡±. Water Ghost¡¯s body instantly stiffened. She stared at Qu Yao in confusion and couldn¡¯t say a word. Chapter 33 - The Witch Reappears Chapter 33 The Witch Reappears Qu Yao¡¯s patience was worn out. She turned her neck, her eyes revealing killing intent. She did not even take out the God and Demon sword. In her eyes, she could easily crush a small demon of this level into powder. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Why are you looking for Qu Fang? Who are you?¡± Qu Yao revealed a bewitching smile. ¡°I¡¯m here to catch up with her.¡± Water Ghost was happy. She curled the corners of her mouth and shouted excitedly, ¡°You know me? You know me? I¡¯m Qu Fang. Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me!¡± The smile on Qu Yao¡¯s face froze. Faceless Ghost could feel Qu Yao¡¯s transformation. He had only felt such a level of killing intent and demonic qi when he first met Qu Yao. Qu Fang broke free from Faceless Ghost¡¯s tongue and was about to rush forward when she was sent flying by a huge red light. When she raised her head again, she was completely shocked. Looking at the familiar snake tail that was shining with golden light, she shook her head continuously. ¡°Impossible! Impossible!¡± The fight here had attracted the attention of the demons and gods from all over the city. The soldiers from all over the city and the immortals invited by the government quickly rushed to the Black Lake, but they happened to see Qu Yao¡¯s transformation. There was a terrified shout from behind, ¡°Witch! It¡¯s the witch from fifteen years ago!!¡± Many people were scared by Qu Yao and fled in all directions. The people surrounding her crowded the surrounding desolate villages. Among them were hundreds of immortals with magical power, and the scene was almost the same as fifteen years ago. These people didn¡¯t go forward easily. No one knew why the Water Ghost, who Tongcheng had captured for more than ten years, suddenly appeared and fought with the witch who fell from the sky. No matter if it was the Water Ghost or the witch, they did not dare to fight easily. ¡°Qu Yao!! You are not dead yet!¡± Qu Fang¡¯s voice was hoarse, and her throat was broken from crying. Qu Yao¡¯s snake tail was like a golden whip, and she used her terrifying strength to sweep away everything within a ten-mile radius. Her voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, instilling fear in those who heard it. ¡°Of course I can¡¯t die, because I want to personally send you on your way to death!¡± As she finished speaking, the God and Demon sword appeared. The sword light turned the entire sky red, causing the wind and clouds to change and the sun to go dark. ¡°It¡¯s the God and Demon sword!! The God and Demon sword!¡± Everyone went crazy, as if they were attracted by a huge desire. They rushed forward regardless of the danger, wanting to snatch the God and Demon sword in Qu Yao¡¯s hand. In an instant, more demons and immortals appeared in the sky. They surrounded Qu Yao with different purposes. Qu Yao could not care about the others. Today, she had to kill Qu Fang with her own hands. er 0 The battle between the two was earth-shattering. The water of the Black Lake exploded from the lake and even splashed to the center of Tongcheng, a hundred miles away. People thought that it was raining black. The people went out on the streets. The sky that was originally clear turned dark blood-red in an instant. The explosions that shook the earth kept coming from the Black Lake. An Er frantically called out to Bai Yihe, who had been drugged by Qu Yao. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t sleep anymore. Your goddess escaped with the entire study room! She¡¯s currently fighting with the Water Ghost by the Black Lake!¡± Bai Yihe knew that it was impossible to eliminate the resentment in Qu Yao¡¯s heart with such a short period of time, but he did not expect Qu Yao to set up a boundary for the entire courtyard. He rubbed his aching head. He was very familiar with the boundary around the courtyard. It was Shadow¡¯s technique. Back then, he had used the boundary to trap Shadow in the demon world for tens of thousands of years. He did not expect that Shadow had already cultivated an even more powerful boundary. This boundary could isolate everything. The people outside could not enter, and the people inside could not leave either. No force could break through this place. However, now, this boundary was both a protective barrier and a cage for them. Bai Yihe saw the red light in the sky. It was the God and Demon Sword. It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable in Tongcheng He had sent a message to Atlas a long time ago, hoping to stop Qu Yao from making a big mistake. Now, he did not know what was happening outside. The Black Lake was dyed blood-red. Qu Yao used her snake tail to strangle Qu Fang from her feet to her head. Her eyes were blood-red as she laughed wildly, ¡°Sister! This is the snake tail you gave me! Today, I will use this snake tail to send you on your way to death!¡± Chapter 34 - Ill See Who Dares Chapter 34 I¡¯ll See Who Dares Qu Fang was held in the air by the snake¡¯s tail. Just before she died, she saw Bai Yihe¡¯s courtyard in the distance. That courtyard was wrapped in red light. She could tell that Qu Yao was intentionally protecting that courtyard. She, who had been resisting in pain, suddenly burst into laughter. She let out a disgusting laugh from her tattered throat, then, she used her last bit of strength to say, ¡°Little sister, little sister, at first, I thought that I¡­cough cough¡­ was just a joke. I didn¡¯t expect¡­that you are the biggest joke!!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Qu Yao was enraged by her laughter. She followed her gaze and saw the courtyard that she had carefully protected. ¡°What do you mean?!¡± ¡°I¡­I won¡¯t tell¡­you! You¡­you can go to hell!!¡± Qu Fang used all her evil energy to summon all the evil spirits at the bottom of the lake, intending to perish together with Qu Yao. Qu Yao used her snake tail to snap her neck, and at the instant she was surrounded by the evil spirits, she used the God and Demon Sword to split Qu Fang in half. All the evil spirits began to kill randomly, and the surrounding immortals, gods and demons began to take action as well. Their goal was to kill Qu Yao and obtain the God and Demon Sword in her hands. ¡°Witch!! Hand over the God and Demon Sword quickly!¡± ¡°Kill the witch! Don¡¯t let her wreak havoc on the human world!¡± The various revolting voices were like a whirlpool, rolling Qu Yao in the centre. A black wind descended from the sky, and all those who had gathered to surround Qu Yao were blown away. The earth-shattering sound shattered the dark clouds in the sky, and Shadow appeared in front of Qu Yao wearing a black cloak. ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares!!¡± The Faceless Ghost tore off his human skin and dashed to Shadow¡¯s side, protecting Qu Yao behind him as well. ¡°Who dares to touch the demon ancestor! I, Faceless Ghost, will skin him!¡± Shadow had been trapped in the demon world for tens of thousands of years, and had long become an ancient demon that was about to disappear in ancient books. Therefore, no one knew who he was. In addition, his tightly wrapped cloak made his identity even more concealed. ¡°Where did this arrogant and evil ghost come from? Watch this immortal crush your bones and scatter your ashes!¡± A leading immortal held a sword and rushed out from the crowd on the clouds. This person was very famous in the immortal world. People were solemnly waiting for this immortal to kill Shadow. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Shadow laughed contemptuously. His eyes suddenly changed and turned into a wisp of black smoke that flew toward the immortal, directly passing through his body. Before anyone could react, the immortal was frozen in place for a few seconds, then transformed into a point of light, bursting into flames, and died. The black smoke was enchanting, and it let out a sound that pierced through mountains and rivers. ¡°I am the ancient fierce demon ¨C Shadow!¡± The whole place was in an uproar. ¡°Who is Shadow? ! Don¡¯t be so arrogant here!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is! The witch will die today!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you must hand over the God and Demon Sword today!¡± Most of these people were little immortals and little demons who had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years. They had never heard of Shadow, but they had all heard of the battle of the wilderness ten thousand years ago. An ethereal voice came from the horizon. A woman in silver armor looked down at everything. She slowly said, ¡°Shadow, don¡¯t you know how to repent after the battle of the wilderness?¡± ¡°It¡¯s War God, Atlas!¡± The gods cheered, but many evil spirits were scared away. These evil spirits might be able to fight ordinary gods, but they would definitely die if they met Atlas. After all, she and the God of Light had killed the first demon god in the world. Everyone came to a realization when they heard about the battle of the wilderness. Shadow was actually a fierce demon that destroyed the world ten thousand years ago. He was the first demon born in the world. Everyone thought that he had died in the battle of the wilderness. They did not expect him to appear in the human world today. As a result, this battle was even more unstoppable. Chapter 35 - Those Who Come One Step Closer, Die Chapter 35 Those Who Come One Step Closer, Die Many people dreamed of Shadow¡¯s magic power. Killing Shadow was equivalent to possessing the power to dominate the world. The God and Demon Sword was formed from the combination of the two broken swords during the battle between Shadow and the God of Light. The power within was equally destructive. Whether it was Qu Yao¡¯s sword or the Shadow¡¯s magic power, they were both huge temptations. ¡°Qu Yao, Stop!¡± Atlas¡¯ entire body was emitting silver light, like a star amidst the scarlet sky. Qu Yao sneered. ¡°Stop? Why don¡¯t you ask them?¡± Her gaze swept across the crowd. ¡°Are they willing to stop?¡± She only wanted to kill the water ghost to avenge herself. She just wanted to find a way to break the curse and go home. Some people recognized Qu Yao and shouted that she was Doctor Bai Yihe¡¯s wife. The scene became chaotic again. They realized that Doctor Bai Yihe¡¯s courtyard was shrouded in red light. They knew that Qu Yao wanted to protect Doctor Bai Yihe, so they turned their attention to the small courtyard. ¡°Kill them! They must be in cahoots! That Bai Yihe can cure any strange disease. Maybe he used some kind of evil spell!¡± The red light on Qu Yao¡¯s body soared to the sky. She teleported to a place not far from the small courtyard and swept her snake tail over everyone in front of the small courtyard. Her eyes were scarlet red and her body was filled with killing intent. ¡°Anyone who takes one step closer will die!¡± The clinic and the small courtyard were in the center of Tongcheng. Everyone was attracted by the earth-shattering sound. They gathered their courage and came out to watch, but they were frightened by Qu Yao¡¯s snake tail. All the old people in Tongcheng recognized that tail. The half-human and half-beast who had almost destroyed the entire city fifteen years ago had returned! They once again picked up their weapons and shouted that they would carry out justice for the heavens and avenge the people who had died in vain fifteen years ago. Some people who had been saved by Bai Yihe thought that Bai Yihe had been bewitched by the witch. Qu Yao stood guard near the small courtyard. They were even more worried about Bai Yihe¡¯s safety. They all prayed to the God of Light to protect Bai Yihe, they hoped that all the gods could get rid of the witch as soon as possible. Qu Yao looked at the people surrounding her once again. This time, it was even more spectacular than fifteen years ago. People filled the entire city, and they all righteously persuaded Qu Yao to stop doing evil. Some immortals thought that they could fight, so they directly rushed up. Lightning flashed in the sky, Thunder rumbled, and black rain kept falling. Shadow and Faceless Ghost fought their way out of the group of ghosts. While they killed evil spirits and ghosts, they also helped Qu Yao fight against the immortals. Atlas fell from the sky, and the silver light scattered the ghosts. Qu Yao stared at her with blood all over her body, but Atlas maintained a relaxed smile. ¡°Qu Yao, have you ever thought that the person in the courtyard didn¡¯t want you to become like this?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what I look like in his eyes.¡± She held the God and Demon Sword tightly and looked at death calmly. ¡°Stop talking nonsense, come on!¡± That battle had lasted until the night. Qu Yao had single-handedly killed hundreds of gods and thousands of evil spirits. Shadow and faceless ghost had practically massacred the entire city. ¡°Anyone who stands in Qu Yao¡¯s way must die!¡± Shadow kept muttering in his heart: Yao Yao, this time, you are not alone. I will definitely bring you home. Blood flowed like a river in the city. God of War Atlas was seriously injured. The famous gods and ghosts from all over the world had all died in this battle. However, the God of Light had yet to show himself. Bai Yihe knew that if he stopped Qu Yao this time, the resentment in her heart would never be removed. He could save all living things, but he could not save Qu Yao¡¯s current heart. He could kill all living things, but he could not kill Shadow that was separated from his body. Shadow was the evil thoughts that he had extracted from his soul ten thousand years ago, including greed, anger, delusion. When he first realized that he had these feelings, he decided that they were all evil, so he extracted them from his soul to maintain his holiness. However, he did not expect that these evil thoughts would absorb more evil desires in the world and eventually form Shadow. He joined forces with the God of War, Atlas, and fought to the death with the thought of mutual destruction. Finally, he locked Shadow in the demon world at the end of the wilderness. Both of their swords were broken in the battle, and the two broken swords naturally merged, they formed a new sword ¨C the God and Demon Sword, and fell into the wilderness. The demon world was born from this, and the God and Demon Sword was formed from this. Later, the gods from all walks of life would throw all the demonic beasts and evil spirits they caught from the world into the demon world. No one knew what the demon world looked like, but they also never thought that one day, the barrier of the demon world would be split open by Qu Yao¡¯s sword. Bai Yihe looked at the land that was dyed red with blood and sighed in his heart. Karma, this might be his heavenly tribulation. Chapter 36 - Legend Chapter 36 Legend Three days later, it was completely quiet outside. The barrier had disappeared, which meant that Shadow and the others had already left. An Er turned into a white crane and hovered above Tongcheng. Bai Yihe had been sitting in the small courtyard the whole time. He closed his eyes to listen, but he could not hear anything except the sound of water. There was not even a single bird in Tongcheng The sky was still dark, and the red light had disappeared, leaving only a suffocating dark cloud. The sun seemed to have fallen, and it refused to show its light for a long time. The white crane hissed in the sky, its mournful cry making one feel cold. An Er¡¯s face was pale as he landed on the ground. The moment he transformed into his human form, he could not stop vomiting. The streets were filled with corpses. He saw a real river of blood, and the air was filled with the stench of blood, which was suffocating. Although it was not as earth-shattering as the Great War between gods and demons ten thousand years ago, it was already a form of destruction for a city. Bai Yihe opened his eyes and slowly looked up at the sky. The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the gentle and warm sunlight gently fell from the sky, like a memorial to a god. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Bai Yihe said to the white crane beside him, ¡°It¡¯s time to go back.¡± ¡­.. In the depths of the sky, in the hall of the God of Light ¡ª the Hall of Light. More than a thousand gods knelt at the door of the Hall of Light. From afar, it looked like a vast expanse of white. Their voices were neat and sonorous, and they piously bowed at the door of the hall. ¡°I request the God of Light to lead troops to attack the Demon World!¡± ¡°If the demoness is not eliminated, the world will not be at peace!¡± All the gods were here to allow the God of Light to appear and besiege the demon world. In the past, the demon world was sealed, so no one cared. But now that the gate of the demon world was opened, more and more demons would escape from the demon world and wreak havoc. They all believed that they couldn¡¯t just sit back and do nothing. ¡°The gods should go back first. The God of Light has already understood everything.¡± A youth dressed in white came out from the main hall. Soft feathers floated on his shoulders, and a scarlet crown hung on his head. ¡°Immortal An He, the God of Light has been in seclusion for a thousand years. Now that the demon world is in chaos, he cannot continue like this.¡± An He chuckled, ¡°The God of Light is the ruler of all things. The heaven has its own will, and the exalted God naturally has his own thoughts. The gods should all disperse.¡± He did not say anything else. He lifted his feet and returned to the main hall. The golden doors slowly closed. ¡°An Er, go buy me a candied haw.¡± Bai Yihe leaned back on his chair and revealed a confused smile. An He did not understand why a god who had left the secular world and did not need to eat or drink would always like things from the human world. After An He left, he took out a red rope. This red rope was not something he had requested from the temple of marriage, but something he had asked for from the exalted God of Destiny. The God of Destiny had been curious at that time. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to kill Qu Yao and cut off her bad karma? Why did he ask for the red rope that was bound to their marriage? Their fate was predestined, and they could not be killed or cut off. In the beginning, Bai He did not believe in fate, so he had the God of Destiny kill the locust tree that symbolized Qu Yao¡¯s life when she was born. He had deliberately given Qu Fang a way to curse so that Qu Yao would be thrown into the demon world. Nonetheless, he still could not defeat fate. Fate gave the God and Demon Sword to Qu Yao and turned his greed into Shadow to stay by her side to protect her. The God of Destiny told him that Qu Yao was very likely to become the root of Bai Yihe¡¯s eternal damnation. But she was obviously a locust tree that Bai Yihe had casually transplanted and saved a thousand years ago. How could she become the ill-fated relationship which he could not escape? He put away the red rope, turned into a beam of light, and lazily dispersed. After Qu Yao returned to the demon world, she fell into a coma for three days and three nights. Shadow was originally a demon. The evil spirits that surrounded him were of the same origin as him, so fighting was not a problem at all. However, Qu Yao was different. She was originally a human, and only became half-human and half-beast because of the curse. The one fighting against her was also the God of War, Atlas. If she did not have the God and Demon Sword in her hand, there was no way to seriously injure Atlas. Despite her injuries, Qu Yao became a legend of the three worlds as a result of this battle. Chapter 37 - Confinement Chapter 37 Confinement No matter if it was a god, a human, or a demon, as long as they heard Qu Yao¡¯s name, they would curse her, be jealous of her, and be afraid of her. As long as it was someone who wanted to kill Qu Yao, no matter where they came from or what their purpose was, they would become the embodiment of justice. They could use their sonorous voices to denounce her. However, no one dared to kill her. Qu Yao felt that all the bones in her body were about to break. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a familiar environment. They had returned to the demon world. The wood chopping granny hugged her and cried bitterly, ¡°Yao Yao, you¡¯re finally awake! You scared me to death!¡± This cry attracted the dozens of demons who were guarding beside her. Everyone surrounded her and expressed their concern for her. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± ¡°Are you thirsty?¡± ¡°Are you cold?¡± ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Qu Yao did not even have the chance to speak. She really did not have the energy to lose her temper. She looked at them resentfully and said weakly, ¡°You guys are so noisy.¡± ¡°Shut up! Shut up!¡± Shadow¡¯s eyes were sharp as he scolded them. He turned around and looked at Qu Yao with a pained expression. ¡°Little Yao Yao, are you feeling better?¡± Qu Yao propped herself up on the bed and returned to her lazy and arrogant self. ¡°I¡¯m the demon ancestor, who does Atlas think she is? She was still knocked down from the sky by me!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!!¡± The demons echoed. Faceless ghost shouted excitedly, ¡°Today, the demon ancestor has awakened. Everyone from the demon ancestor to the demonic beasts and evil spirits, please be happy! The demon world is going to hold a feast for ten days and ten nights!!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the demons cheered. The demon world was filled with bonfires and feasts. They were all immersed in the joy of the demon ancestor¡¯s revenge and defeating the God of War. Only Qu Yao remained in her room alone. ¡°Yao Yao? Do you want to come out and have a drink?¡± Shadow asked cautiously at the door. ¡°No,¡± Qu Yao¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me while I¡¯m reading!¡± This was already the seventh day that she had been cooped up in her room reading. The demons were only engrossed in partying, praising Qu Yao¡¯s feats everywhere. She, who had already dominated the demon world to begin with, had become a legend in the entire demon world after the Battle of Tongcheng. Qu Yao had always disdained to participate in the chaotic dance of the demons, so even if she did not come out, no one dared to ask. Only the Faceless Ghost and Shadow knew that she was not reading, but was clearly in solitary confinement. Bai Yihe¡¯s study was moved to Qu Yao¡¯s hall by Shadow intact. She read it day and night, seemingly eager to get rid of the curse, but in fact, she wanted to make herself forget about the things in the human world. She often stared at the red rope on her wrist in a daze. Sometimes a page of a book could be read for hours, but her eyes were not on the book in her hand. Her mind was full of that little blind man. She did not know how he was doing. She suddenly remembered that after the barrier in the courtyard had disappeared, Bai Yihe would definitely come out to look for her. Would the corpses on the street scare him! The gate that had been closed for seven days finally opened. Shadow saw Qu Yao running out in a panic and quickly chased after her. ¡°Yao Yao, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back to Tongcheng to take a look!¡± ¡°???¡± ¡°What are you going back there for? There are people chasing after you everywhere outside the demon world!¡± Qu Yao pushed Shadow aside, who was holding her back. ¡°I just want to see how Bai Yihe is doing. I¡¯m afraid that he will be frightened by the scene when he comes out. He won¡¯t be able to handle it.¡± ¡°Yao Yao!¡± Shadow restrained her wrist and asked sternly, ¡°He¡¯s blind. What can he see?¡± That¡¯s right, he couldn¡¯t even see. What was I worried about? Qu Yao fell silent. Dejected, she returned to the study room and picked up the book again. Shadow¡¯s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. If he had known that she would meet such a person in the human world, he would definitely have stopped Qu Yao. Chapter 38 - Its This Demon Again Chapter 38 It¡¯s This Demon Again As time passed, the heaven and earth gradually returned to peace. Although Qu Yao did not appear again, the various gods still did not give up on the idea of encircling the demon world and killing Qu Yao. Half a year later. Qu Yao¡¯s hard work finally paid off, as she found the curse related to half-human and half-beast in an ancient book. According to the book, the beast once wanted to transform into a human and blend into the human world, but when it was looking for a way, it instead cultivated an evil spell that turned a human into half-human and half-beast. Later on, this curse was sealed by the God of Light. In order to remove the curse, one had to pierce the red mole between the God of Light¡¯s brows and extract a drop of blood from it. However, that red mole was the source of all things in the world. If he had not voluntarily pierced it, no one would have been able to cut that mole. Wasn¡¯t the God of Light the same god that Tongcheng wanted to sacrifice her to?! Qu Yao cursed in her heart. Why was it this demon again?! This time, she wanted to go up to heaven and meet this legendary God of Light to see who he was and why there were so many legends about him. As usual, Qu Yao did not let Shadow and the others follow her on this trip to heaven as they would be easily discovered as demons. Moreover, ever since the gate to the demon world opened, Shadow¡¯s management was all the more important. Shadow had helped her plan the route to the Hall of Light in advance. On the way, she could avoid the halls of other gods. However, the God of Light was ruthless when it came to dealing with monsters. Shadow had repeatedly warned her that if she could not succeed, she must leave. She must not risk her life. ¡°I know!¡± Qu Yao cursed in her heart. Shadow was simply a ten-thousand-year-old antique, always nagging She had always had to deal with a lot of things on her own. Even though Shadow and everyone in the demon world had said that they were willing to help her, she had never agreed. It was not because she did not like them, but because she liked them too much. She did not know how to express her love, so she often used violence as a disguise. She never let anyone follow her. She called them ugly and stupid, but in her heart, she was worried that something would happen to them. Everything began with her, so she had to bear the consequences on her own. ¡­.. This was her first time coming to heaven. Seven-colored multicolored clouds lingered above the clouds. The golden light of the sun shone warmly in the sky. The entire heaven shone brightly, even more dazzling than her golden snake tail. Heaven was abnormally quiet. It was not as lively as the mortal world, nor was it as chaotic as the demon world. It was a clean and holy serenity. Qu Yao felt as if she was stepping on cotton with every step she took. It was so light that it made people dizzy. Heaven was much bigger than she had imagined The demon world was divided into six major parts: The Demon Beast Mountain, the Myriad Ghost River, the Evil Spirit Cave, the Scattered Grave, the Demon Palace where Qu Yao was located, and the wilderness at the border. Heaven was comparable to the three demon worlds, with an endless expanse of whiteness. The human world was wedged between the demon world and heaven, which were each black and white. With immense love, humans could become gods, and with just a thought, they could become demons. Qu Yao always felt that everything in the world was a game played by fate. When she reached heaven¡¯s highest level, she saw a huge golden door. Although she had the ability to break in, she still did not dare to act rashly. There were many other exalted gods¡¯ palaces around her, and if there were any unusual movements, she would most likely be surrounded by the gods. Qu Yao walked around the high wall for a long time. Finally, she saw a small side door under a tree. It was such a high wall, but there was no back door. Instead, there was a small side door? Was the brain of the God of Light abnormal? Why not construct a back door?This entrance did not appear to be a dog hole or a side door. It was far too sloppy, and even the boundary had overlooked this area. It seemed that the heavens were helping her. Qu Yao tested the boundary on the side door and found that it was easily opened. She bent down and squeezed through the small door with the hem of her skirt. The Hall of Light was very large. The front courtyard, the middle courtyard, the garden, the backyard¡­ all kinds of courtyards were scattered chaotically. Qu Yao was lost. It was a f*cking maze, right?! Chapter 39 - Sleeping With the God of Light Chapter 39 Sleeping With the God of Light Fortunately, there was no one else in the maze, not even a servant or fairy. It was like an empty courtyard, which made her wonder if she had come to the wrong place. Qu Yao, who had been sneaking around, gradually began to swagger around. She leisurely walked to admire the scenery along the way and picked a peach blossom to sniff. The flowers in the sky did not smell as good as the ones in other places. Why did so many people want to become gods? Tch! Qu Yao scorned and threw away the useless flowers in her hand. As she walked, she felt more and more dizzy, and her body began to feel hot and restless. Suddenly, she heard the voice of a man not far away. Qu Yao¡¯s body was getting more and more out of control. She was worried that she would be discovered, so she casually pushed open a door and hid inside. A light fragrance came from the room. Qu Yao could not smell what the fragrance was, but her feet could not help but follow the fragrance into the room. Her nails were deeply embedded in her palm, but no matter how hard she hit her head, she could not keep herself awake. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± A man¡¯s voice came from behind the white bed curtain. Qu Yao rubbed her eyes. The man¡¯s face was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. ¡°Who is it?!¡± Qu Yao asked warily, ¡°Who is there?!¡± The man got up and approached her. Only then did Qu Yao see clearly. She was shocked. ¡°Bai Yihe? Why are you here?¡± Bai Yihe gently caressed her face. ¡°Yao Yao, why did you leave me alone?¡± Qu Yao¡¯s legs were so weak that she couldn¡¯t stand anymore. She breathed hard and sobbed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± She saw Bai Yihe and his bright and beautiful eyes filled with grievance and could not help but give him a gentle kiss. In the past, she had many opportunities to kiss this man, but she did not dare. That gentle little blind man could no longer see anything. She was afraid that her kiss would dirty his beautiful eyes, but after being separated for half a year, she really missed him. ¡°Little blind man, I miss you so much.¡± Bai Yihe hugged her and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Qu Yao tore Bai Yihe¡¯s clothes and comforted the man under her on the bed. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I will be gentle.¡± Bai Yihe was a beauty like jade. Qu Yao was afraid that she would break this piece of jade if she used too much strength. She bit Bai Yihe¡¯s collarbone and allowed Bai Yihe and his tall nose to graze against her heart. She muttered to herself, ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re always in my dreams. I¡¯m such a hooligan¡­¡± The man beside her could not help but laugh. ¡°A blind man and a hooligan. Just right.¡± When Qu Yao woke up, she thought that she was in a dream. When she turned around, she realized that she had truly touched a naked person. She sat up in shock and covered her mouth that was about to scream. F*ck! Where did this man come from?! When she looked down again, this man¡¯s body was covered in bruises and hickeys. She was also completely naked. Yesterday.. It wasn¡¯t a dream! She actually mistook the other party for Bai Yihe and slept with him?! The man beside her suddenly turned around. Qu Yao was shocked and even her breathing stopped. ???!!! This person, this person actually looked the same as Bai Yihe? That¡¯s not right! He was the beautiful older brother from 16 years ago! The red mole between his brows. Qu Yao was completely stunned. The beautiful older brother from back then was the God of Light? Then what about Bai Yihe? Why did he look so similar to him? One of them was a human and the other was a god. What exactly is their relationship? Qu Yao felt that her mind was in a complete mess. Why did she sleep with the God of Light the moment she woke up? Forget it! She took out her dagger and decided to take the blood from the God of Light¡¯s brow first. She raised the dagger and stabbed at the man¡¯s brow without hesitation. When the tip of the dagger was about to touch the red mole, it was blocked by a force. Qu Yao exerted more force, but it was repelled by that force. That force not only repelled Qu Yao, but also spread to the entire heaven like a wave. ¡°Who is it?!¡± A scream came from outside the door. Chapter 40 - Crusade Against the Demon World Chapter 40 Crusade Against the Demon World Qu Yao knew that her tracks had been exposed, so she casually picked up the clothes on the ground and ran away. After putting on the clothes, she realized that she had taken the God of Light¡¯s by mistake. However, it was precisely this set of clothes that allowed her to easily avoid the sight of others. A little fairy rushed over and saw Bai Yihe reclining on the bed. He reported in panic, ¡°Exalted God, we felt that someone was trying to assassinate you! But that person escaped.¡± An He leisurely walked in from behind and let the terrified little fairy go first. He looked at Bai Yihe who was leisurely drinking tea with a disdainful look on his face. ¡°Qu Yao really didn¡¯t let you down. She can escape anywhere!¡± Bai Yihe took a sip of tea and said, ¡°Pay attention to the way you address her. She is my wife that I married openly.¡± ¡°Good, good, good!¡± An He said disdainfully, ¡°Calling her divine consort should be more respectful, right! I¡¯m curious how the divine consort would react if she knew that you were playing with her like this. Would she use the God and Devil Sword to cut you in half?¡± Bai Yihe pretended not to hear him and put away the pieces of clothes that Qu Yao had left on the ground. The pieces flew into the box and landed steadily in An He¡¯s hand. ¡°Find Thousand Silk Goddess to repair this clothes.¡± Thousand Silk Goddess was a goddess who was in charge of weaving clothes. Her craftsmanship was unparalleled. ¡°Your wife has run away, how can you still be in the mood to sew clothes?¡± He put down the teacup and closed his eyes. ¡°How many people saw her escape from my palace?¡± ¡°The gods who sensed the fluctuations in the surroundings all saw her. There are already hundreds of gods outside the palace who have requested to see you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about time. Tell them that demoness Qu Yao has assassinated the God of Light.¡± Bai Yihe¡¯s lips curled into a sinister grin. ¡°From today onwards, the God of Light will officially come out of seclusion and lead an army to attack the demon world.¡± An He bowed. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡­.. Qu Yao returned to the demon world in a panic and once again closed her door. Two days later, heaven sent people to the wilderness to send a message. Heaven had officially issued a challenge to the demon world. As long as the demon world obediently handed over Qu Yao and the God and Demon Sword, heaven could choose to let the other demons off. Shadow was furious. ¡°What the hell!¡± He smashed his wine cup onto the ground. ¡°You dare to issue a challenge to me? I¡¯ll break his heaven!¡± Qu Yao, who had been in seclusion for three days, finally came out. She did not want the demon world and heaven to go to war. ¡°Ignore them.¡± Qu Yao comforted Shadow. ¡°Let them shout outside. No matter what they shout, we won¡¯t go out.¡± She didn¡¯t believe that those high and mighty immortals were willing to set foot in such a dark and dirty place like the demon world? The messenger from the heaven had been shouting in the wilderness for seven days, but the wilderness was still dead silent. There was no answer except for the rustling sound of the strong wind sweeping the yellow sand. An He couldn¡¯t sit still. ¡°Your divine consort is so timid? She dare not even dare to fight.¡± Bai Yihe was admiring the flowers. He picked a daffodil and sniffed it carefully. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± The daffodil swayed in his hand. ¡°If she doesn¡¯t come out, we¡¯ll go in.¡± The demon world was originally built by Bai Yihe and Atlas to suppress Shadow. No one knew the demon world better than him. Qu Yao originally thought that as long as the demon world didn¡¯t fight, everything would calm down with the passage of time. But she didn¡¯t expect the God of Light to kill them all. In less than two days, Bai Yihe brought tens of thousands of divine soldiers across the wilderness and headed straight for Demon Beast Mountain. The sentry of the demon world came to report that the God of Light had killed the ancient ferocious Beast Taotie of Demon Beast Mountain and set up a bonfire to roast it. Taotie was the commander of Demon Beast Mountain. This way, Bai Yihe was slapping Qu Yao¡¯s face in front of the entire demon world. Qu Yao flipped the table over. ¡°This demon! Didn¡¯t I¡­¡± Accidentally slept with him? Was there a need to take over her demon world? She clenched her fists tightly. The God and Demon sword was emitting a murderous aura as it trembled and rang the bell. Faceless Ghost also rushed into the hall. ¡°Demon ancestor, the God of Light asked you to meet him. Otherwise, he will drain the Myriad Ghost River, burn down the Evil Spirit Cave, and¡­¡± ¡°What else! Say It quickly!¡± She knew that there was definitely nothing good to say. Faceless ghost trembled, ¡°And your hall. He said that if you don¡¯t come out soon, he will tear down your hall and turn it into a toilet.¡± Qu Yao could hear that this demon was insulting her and giving her an ultimatum. Very good. The God of Light, right? The Lord of all things, right. Qu Yao gripped the God and Demon Sword tightly. ¡°Tell Shadow to look after the God and Demon Hall.¡± She wanted to see what this demon was up to!
