Ji Yan was scared out of the hell and shut her eyes tightly while tightening her grip on Yin Xuezhuo. 

A while later, she felt the surrounding was calm, so she cautiously peeped opened one eye. However, the sight that greeted her differed completely from what she expected.  

She opened her eyes and looked around. Underneath the cracks, it did not look hideous cave like before, but like another very different space.

The sky and the earth returned to calm, and the endless darkness finally dispersed, when one looked up, one could see the flowing clouds in the sky, and the piercing blazing sun.

This was the normal world.

Letting go of Yin Xuezhuo she sat down on the soft grass, with Wan Qiu Jian on one side and Yin Xuezhuo standing and looking around on the other side.

As she looked around the surroundings, she suddenly felt something was wrong. This sword which always targeted her was lying motionless on the ground as if it were a normal sword. As she looked down at the motionless Wan Qiu Jian beside her, she couldn’t help but poke it.

Wan Qiu Jian did not move but lay dead on the ground.

“Huh?”It was her first time observing the sword so closely, and she felt very strange at the moment. “Yin Xuezhuo, why did it save me just now? Wasn’t it always trying to kill me before?”

It can’t be found by conscience, right?

Yin Xuezhuo: “Wan Qiu Jian certainly wants to kill you. It is afraid that you will die in the hands of others and it will not be able to eat you. That’s why it’s protecting you.”

Ji Yan: “…” This is actually a sword with a sickly attribute?

“However.” Yin Xuezhuo said: “I have never understood why it wants to swallow you so badly. You don’t have spiritual power in your body, and it doesn’t benefit it”

Ji Yan: “…you despise me.”

However, it was also true that she and Wan Qiu Jian had no grievances, and it was not the first time that this sword had targeted her.

As she thought of this she couldn’t help but poke Wan Qiu Jian hard, the sword suddenly trembled, frightening her to the point that she had a jolt and reflexively leaping behind Yin Xuezhuo to hide.

As a result, Wan Qiu Jian just trembled for a moment, and then there was no movement.

Ji Yan: “…” She seemed to have egged out too much.

Yin Xuezhuo: “Puff.”

He laughed out aloud for a while, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked the sword mercilessly. “The spiritual energy here is too abundant, its devilish energy is suppressed, so it naturally settled down.”

Ji Yan: “Huh? It also has a devilish energy?”

Yin Xuezhuo smiled warily, “Stained with my flesh and blood, how could it not have a demonic aura? What’s more ridiculous is that a magic sword stained with demonic aura and addicted to killing is actually treasured by that group of righteous people.”

Ji Yan: “Stop talking. I’m going to throw up.”

Too disgusting. What exactly do these people want?

After a little hesitation, she came out behind from Yin Xuezhuo to Wan Qiu Jian, and picked it up, and asked wickedly: “Then, do you want to do something to it while it is not moving now so that it won’t have to fight with you later.”

She raised her eyes to look at Yin Xuezhuo, and found that his appearance had become a little normal, and was stunned, “You…”

“This place is full of spiritual energy, suitable for recuperating.” Yin Xuezhuo raised his hand, and a small flame emerged from his palm, illuminating his dark eyes.

“Are you feeling better?” Ji Yan’s eyes lit up with great excitement while throwing the sword up squealing with a “wow” and hooking her arms around his neck, “Ah ah ah great! The way you looked before was really too worrying, it’s good that you’re fine!”

Yin Xuezhuo gave a low “Um”, and turned his head to the side like ‘it wasn’t a big deal’, but the corners of his lips curved up unconsciously.

“If I’m not wrong, this place should be what the Broken Cliff really looks like.” He said: “The owner of this place should be the one who created the maze at the very beginning to prevent outsiders from invading.”

He walked forward, and Ji Yan followed behind with Wan Qiu Jian. In front of her was a beautiful peach grove of flowers and grasses that she hadn’t seen before. As she passed through countless small butterflies flying out of the bush. They were all light blue in color and stopped on Ji Yan’s shoulder.

This butterfly looks like a little version of Yin Xuezhuo’s little butterfly.

But smaller, more innocuous, and not terrifying at all. A group of butterflies flew around Ji Yan, as if playing with her, but none of them dared to approach Yin Xuezhuo, leaving him alone, hanging on the side, lonely, very pitiful.

The little butterfly does not play with the big butterfly.

Ji Yan wanted to laugh so much. She wondered what Yin Xuezhuo would look like if he showed his wings and stood with these butterflies.

She deliberately guided the group of butterflies to fly towards Yin Xuezhuo, but as soon as they saw that Ji Yan had come to Yin Xuezhuo’s side, they didn’t even play with Ji Yan either and fled away.

Yin Xuezhuo, the God of Demon, didn’t seem to have anyone who wasn’t afraid of him.

She was a little disappointed, and after dwelling on it for a while, she chose not to pester Yin Xuezhuo and went to play with the butterfly. She lingered among the flowers for a long time, dyeing her skirt with the fragrance of the flowers.

“Who are you?”

A clear and cold voice suddenly rang out, Ji Yan turned her head to look, only to see an extremely good-looking teenager who suddenly fled out of the void, wings flapping behind him, landing steadily in front of them.

The young man was beautiful, so beautiful that it was hard to distinguish whether he was a man or woman by his appearance, but his voice was crisp and clear. Behind him was a pair of translucent butterfly wings. After landing in front of Ji Yan, the wings behind him closed. The jet-black eyes stared at her for a long time and pointed ears came out of his hair, looking very cute.

Ji Yan: “!!!”

She didn’t look wrong, was she?

He looked exactly the same as Yin Xuezhuo!

Ji Yan was stunned. The young man noticed Yin Xuezhuo behind her at a glance. He was also stunned, and after a long time, his expression changed he suddenly he spread his wings again and turned to run.

However, Yin Xuezhuo was a step ahead of him. He turned directly into a cloud of black energy, appeared next to the young man, grabbed the other’s wings, and picked him up in the air.

This method of grasping wings was like carrying a chicken.

“You let go of me!” That teenager struggled in terror, his wings were almost broken by Yin Xuezhuo, but he could only slap his hand in vain.

The young man seemed to have no offensive power. Apart from constantly yelling, he could only pat Yin Xuezhuo’s hand that was grabbing his wings, like a girlfriend acting like a baby, or punching his chest with a small fist.

Ji Yan couldn’t stand it anymore, silently covering her face.

Combined with the plot of the original book, if she didn’t guess wrong, this should be the Spirit Nightmare residing at the bottom of the cliff, right?

Yin Xuezhuo, are you so fierce to your kind?

Reaching out and grabbing people’s wings, those with wings, why make things difficult for those with wings?

She couldn’t help but explain: “That… we have no malice…”

As soon as the voice fell, Yin Xuezhuo threw the teenager on the ground. The boy was so frightened the moment he landed on the ground, he curled up into the ball. The big wings rolled up to cover his body, and he wrapped himself into a big ball, rustling and shivering.

Yin Xuezhuo snorted coldly, “Really weak.”

The big ball trembled even harder.

Ji Yan: This is different from what she thought.

Isn’t the Nightmare Race all week at a young age? This teenager doesn’t look very old. Why does Yin Xuezhuo dislike people so much? He used to dislike human beings in the past, but now he actually dislikes his own kind.

Ji Yan said to the teenager, “Don’t be afraid, we just got here by mistake, he really has no malice.”

“You’re lying!” It’s just like the damn was broken the boy cried in fright and said sobbingly, “…He’s full of demonic qi, full of demonic qi ah oooh oooh oooh, it’s too scary it’s simply too scary! How could it be? A nightmare with such a strong devilish energy!”

Yin Xuezhuo: “Heh.”

“…” Ji Yan was speechless, and in a flash of inspiration she said: “The reason why he has a strong demonic aura is because of a group of bad guys.”

“Bad guy?” The teenager suddenly stopped crying and poked his head out from under his wings, his ears twitching, “What’s the bad guy?”

Ji Yan said: “It’s a group of bad guys who capture Spirit Nightmares. That group of bad guys took him away. That’s why he is like this. Are you not the same kind? Why are you repelling him?” She stared at that teenager with a little grievance.

The teenager was kind by nature. As soon as he heard her say this, he let out an “ah”, a little at a loss.

“Is that so?” He turned his eyes, sat on the ground, and looked up at Yin Xuezhuo. “But he looks too powerful. Will such a powerful nightmare be taken away? I have lived for a hundred years, but I have never seen such a powerful nightmare.”

One hundred years old, sure enough, he was still a cub.

Yin Xuezhuo frowned straight away at his undisguised gaze, and the idea of ​​bullying the cub surged on. Ji Yan as knew of his thought, pulled him back to her side, squatting in front of the teenager and locking eyes with him.

She said: “He is different from you. He is more than three hundred years old, but he was taken away when he was very young.”

“Then he is so pitiful.” The young man slowly retracted his wings, still afraid to touch Yin Xuezhuo, and hid behind Ji Yan. After a while, he poked his head out again, his small deer-like eyes carefully looked at Yin Xuezhuo.

“Then do you want to stay here? This is my home. If you don’t have a home, you can treat this as your home.” After a little thought, he added: “We will treat you well.”

The author has something to say: Ji Yan: He is so poor.

Nightmare Boy: Wow, distressed.

Yin Xuezhuo: You don’t have to care about me so much.
