The two little demons, just gaining spiritual wisdom, were once again caught and went through an escape. At this moment, they were so scared that they huddled together like quails, trembling.
Su Jingxuan remained somewhat composed, but he wasn’t completely fearless. The white-robed man in front of him had extremely high cultivation, evoking a deep sense of dread.
Perhaps sensing their fearful emotions, the white-robed man put away his usual cold demeanor, took out three bottles of spirit essence from his storage pouch, and placed them in front of them. A faint smile appeared on his face, adding a touch of irresistible warmth to his handsome features.
The two little demons were already famished. The aroma of the spirit essence made them forget everything, and they quickly grabbed them and started eating.
However, Su Jingxuan did not move. Although he also felt weak and needed to replenish his strength quickly, he couldn’t forget the situation in front of him. He couldn’t be sure whether the white-robed man was good or bad. Sweet words could be deceptive. He couldn’t afford to die; he still had to find Jianghe.
“You, little one, are quite special. Don’t be afraid. I don’t need night demon familiars. But you have to tell me, how did you learn the secret techniques of my Yunhai Sect? Speak up. I can understand your language…”
It was simply unimaginable that the owner of the cold voice who had bluntly driven away three cultivators earlier was actually such a gentle and approachable young man. In fact, Su Jingxuan had a strangely close feeling towards this person from the moment he saw him. However, his guard was too strong. He was in an unknown environment, and he couldn’t trust anyone.
He had experienced similar worlds before and knew the rules of a world where the strong were respected. Who knew if this man had created an affinity with him through some kind of spell?
The night demon familiars were things everyone wanted to catch, and Su Jingxuan didn’t understand what the man was saying. So, he remained silent, resisting the spirit essence offered by the man.
But the white-robed man seemed very interested in him and didn’t mind his resistance.
The vast disparity in strength made Su Jingxuan unable to resist even if he wanted to. It wasn’t until he drank all the spirit essence, his weakened body recovered, and the feeling of imminent dissipation disappeared that the white-robed man stopped. He always wore a gentle smile on his face.
“Unrivaled in beauty, a matchless young man.”
Even with Su Jingxuan’s guarded heart, seeing the man in front of him made him inadvertently think of this sentence.
He had seen good-looking men and women before, but this was the first time he had seen someone who truly fit this poetic description, especially with the man’s gentle demeanor, making him irresistible.
If this was caused by a spell, he had to admit that the man in front of him was truly formidable. He managed to influence Su Jingxuan’s mindset, honed through countless worlds, which he thought was proud.
For some reason, seeing the white-robed man gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity. It was a strange feeling, but one that couldn’t be ignored.
Only the other two little demons felt that the man had no ill intentions. Their fear diminished slightly, but they still didn’t dare to get too close. After all, he was a human, and humans were the most common beings spying on their night demon spirits.
Seeing the three little ones look frightened and alert, Ji Baiyin just smiled, still not angry. He knew the night demon race too well. These little things were just scared after being caught and tossed around as soon as they gained spiritual wisdom; it was normal.
After standing up and casting a few spells to reinforce the restrictions in the entire valley, he took out a piece of talisman paper, said, “Cangyun Mountain, come quickly,” and threw the talisman paper out.
The two little demons didn’t understand, but Su Jingxuan understood that the man was notifying someone.
Sure enough, after the talisman paper flew out for only a short while, there was a disturbance in the restrictions of the valley. Then, a black figure rushed in.
The black figure was extremely fast, leaving only an afterimage when it appeared in the room. Before Su Jingxuan and the others could see clearly, the figure had already arrived in front of the white-robed man. Without a word, he pressed the man against the wall, seized his hands in a dominant manner, and bent down to kiss the lips of the person in his heart fiercely.
The man didn’t mind whether there were people around or that the person kissing him was another man with whom he had a taboo relationship. Lips and tongues intertwined, silver threads fell, and ambiguous sounds echoed in the room. It was evident that the two had an intimate relationship.
Su Jingxuan was a bit surprised. Same-sex relationships were not uncommon, but it was the first time he had seen someone with the personality of the white-robed man.
Although he didn’t know the man’s identity, judging from the attitude of the cultivators before and the man’s clothing, as well as the righteous aura emanating from him, Su Jingxuan could guess that the white-robed man should be a righteous cultivator.
Typically, such people would have some aloof and otherworldly qualities, even if they didn’t care about worldly opinions, they wouldn’t be as casual as the white-robed man.
Especially the aura emitted by the black figure, and the pointed ears visible on both sides of the hair bun, all indicated that he was from a different race, and he and the white-robed man were definitely in a conflicting situation.
However, the white-robed man didn’t show any awkward resistance or shyness. Because that person was his lover, they didn’t need any pretense. If he liked him, it was as simple as that. Su Jingxuan was deeply impressed by this simplicity and casualness.
He quietly watched the couple, who seemed to be reunited after a long absence. The two little demons also looked curiously at the scene in front of them. They didn’t understand what the two were doing, but they saw that the pointed ears of the black figure were the same as theirs – he was their kin!
The slightly older little demon suddenly recognized the black figure, shouted in excitement, and the other little demon beside him, though not shouting, also stared at the familiar ears of the black figure in surprise.
With the excited voices of the two little demons, the black figure seemed to finally sense their presence. He abruptly stopped, turned around, and saw three familiar small figures. Surprise appeared on his face.
Finally, the black figure’s gaze fixed on Su Jingxuan. With a burst of force, he pulled him over and embraced him. His voice carried excitement and concern.
“Xiao Jiu1Little Nine, why are you here? Big brother thought you… It’s okay as long as you’re fine. Who’s the bastard that captured you? I’ll extract his soul and refine it into a soul lamp!”
The voice was not only filled with concern but also with intense, gritted teeth anger. Along with the anger, the pressure of a powerful cultivator overflowed uncontrollably.
Because this black figure was none other than the man in the black robe from the main hall!
Whether it was his features, like a crown of jade and eyes like bright stars, or the unique aura he exuded, Su Jingxuan was sure he hadn’t mistaken him. The only difference was that the hatred-filled aura in the eyebrows of the black robe in the main hall was missing from the current black-robed figure.
However, why was the black robe here?
Su Jingxuan looked at the black-robed figure in astonishment. On the other side, the black-robed figure saw his dumbfounded look and felt a mix of heartache and anger.
Their Night Demon clan had been slaughtered by other races, and the number had greatly decreased. Only a fraction of those born survived, and it took hundreds of years for a few to appear. This time, Xiao Jiu had appeared in the place where he had originally opened spiritual wisdom, and he was of the same bloodline, an actual younger brother. His talent was exceptional, and if cultivated properly, he would undoubtedly surpass him in the future. After he ascended, he would be the next ruler of the Night Demon clan.
“Sorry, Xiao Jiu. It’s all big brother’s fault. When we return to the clan, big brother will definitely treat you well. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I am your big brother Qi Yan, the ruler of the Night Demon clan. Your name is Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu…”
Qi Yan patted Su Jingxuan’s head to comfort him. It wasn’t strange that he didn’t recognize him. Xiao Jiu had just awakened outside, so it wasn’t surprising that he was unfamiliar with the clan. It was all because of those who spied on Night Demon spirits.
His awkward comforting actions made him look like a fool, and Ji Baiyin on the side couldn’t help but chuckle. In his cold eyes, there was a faint warm and focused smile.
However, Su Jingxuan’s heart was like a stormy sea. Since meeting the black robe in the main hall, besides hatred, he had never seen any other expression on him. This gentle and soft-spoken manner was even more unimaginable.
Was this really the black robe from the main hall? He began to doubt. Although the appearance and aura were the same, the behavior and demeanor of the two individuals were completely different…
But if the person in front of him was indeed the black robe, would he take him to see Jianghe?
Su Jingxuan stared at Qi Yan in front of him, making a sound characteristic of Night Demon clan members from his throat.
No matter how much shock and doubt he had, in the end, the two words ‘Jiang he’ defeated everything.
He really wanted to see Jiang he. He didn’t know why he had encountered the black robe here, why the current black robe was different from the one he knew, and what exactly was happening and where he was. But he knew that seeing the black robe meant he wouldn’t have to wander around like a headless fly, because the black robe knew Jianghe and could take him to find Jianghe.
