The innkeeper repeatedly agreed and called three waiters to guide her.

However, the tall figure behind her froze for a moment.

One room.

In the Forsaken Abyss, when Yao Yao went to sleep, he would guard at the entrance or crouch in a corner of the cave.

But, this room is so small.

A tinge of color appeared on his pale ears.

Chong Yan pursed his lips, lowering his aura to the lowest level, almost dissipating into the air.

As a result, the people downstairs gradually resumed their conversations.

“So, what kind of guid did you prepare for the Sea God?”

“It is said that the Sword Saint of the Spirit Continent, Li Cangyan, went to the mountains and seas, to obtain the Ten Thousand-Year Banyan’s divine fruit. However, it was seized by Ji Rong of the Chang Sword Sect.”

On the staircase, Yao Yao’s drooping ears perked up.

Brother, brother is here too. He probably saw her positioning bracelet and knew that she was coming to participate.

Our team is expanding, and Yao Yao’s mood improved again.

Sneaking to book a room with the little demon, Yao Yao’s ears drooped again.

“But compared to the Sword Saint, I still admire him. He is the true righteous way of slaying demons.”

“If we’re talking about strength, the Young Master Ji surpasses him. It is said that recently, he has been cultivating even more diligently, practicing for twelve hours a day. He may soon break through to a new stage.”

“There’s nothing to do. Isn’t his sister being taken away and tortured by that devil?”

When the ancient demon was mentioned, the atmosphere suddenly became intense, and everyone started criticizing and condemning them.

“It’s all because of this harmful creature causing trouble everywhere.”

“Fortunately, the heart of the ancient demon fell into the depths of the Eastern Sea, where the Deep Sea God is. The Sea God is enough to contend with the ancient demon. That devil definitely wouldn’t dare to show up.”

At this moment, Yao Yao turned her head and looked at Chong Yan.

A few strands of light shone through the wooden staircase, casting a beautiful glow on Chong Yan’s eyebrows and eyes. He lowered his gaze, as if he hadn’t heard.

Sensing her gaze, he raised his head, his amber pupils clear, and he still held the things she gave him in his arms.

He’s such a good boy.

For a moment, those unpleasant voices seemed to be distant.

“I hope we can smoothly enter the Eastern Sea.”

“Compared to the Ten Thousand-Year Banyan fruit, the things we prepared are insignificant. I wonder who will be protected by the Deep Sea God.”

“Whoever can use the power of that devil to slay demons will do.”

“That’s right.”

Yao Yao looked at the little demon, and both of his hands were filled with odds and ends. Yao Yao couldn’t reach them, so she grabbed his sleeve instead.

Then she leaned in close and whispered a little secret to him, “It will be me, don’t worry.”

The person who found the guide that is reliable must be her store reward, as it was the result of player experience.

Chong Yan blinked, not knowing who the Deep Sea God was or what the guide was for, nor did he know why she was so confident.

But he nodded, “Okay.”

He was also confident.

The innkeeper indeed arranged a top-quality room for her, and the room was large and beautifully decorated. It didn’t face the street, so it was very quiet.

The room had both a bed and a couch. Yao Yao asked Chong Yan where he wanted to sleep, and her deer-like eyes were pure.

Although she was a fan of good looks and a bit mischievous, there were some things that a child shouldn’t think about, and she wouldn’t let her mind wander.

Chong Yan’s tall figure stood in the center of the room, shaking his head.

Chong Yan didn’t need to sleep. But he liked the bed she gave him, even though it was crooked and would collapse if he didn’t control his strength. But Chong Yan liked it, bed and pillow, he carried them with him.

This room couldn’t accommodate his bed.

So he lifted her up.

Yao Yao, “Hmm.”

She felt like she was being gently placed on the bed, just like his pink pillow.

Then Chong Yan turned and went to sit on a stool in a corner of the room, settling down.

Yao Yao blinked, realizing that he didn’t want to sleep.

She stood with her hands on her hips and said to Chong Yan, “No, we both need to rest well and preserve our energy.” Chong Yan quietly met her gaze, then obediently closed his eyes. His silver-white long hair cascaded down onto his knees.

After a while, Yao Yao asked, “Are you asleep?”

Chong Yan replied, “Mmm.”

Yao Yao couldn’t help but laugh, then she solemnly said, “You can’t answer me if you’re really asleep.”

So Chong Yan smartly remained silent.

Yao Yao then felt satisfied. In fact, as soon as she lay on the bed, she felt drowsy. Finally, she yawned and lay down in a sprawled position.

“Goodnight, Chong Yan.”

Chong Yan opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Goodnight, he silently said.

Yao Yao closed her eyes with peace of mind.

Except for it being a bit hot and not having her own pillow, this was a very safe environment for Yao Yao because she knew there was someone guarding her. So she quickly fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly and peacefully.

After a while.

Chong Yan opened his eyes and looked at the peacefully sleeping girl.

At this moment, she held a cold piece of his dragon tail in her arms.

At first, he only saw the sweat on her nose and knew that she was probably hot. Chong Yan knew about Yao Yao’s high body temperature because of her blood.

But now, in this small room, Chong Yan didn’t want to go to her bedside while she was asleep.

So he quietly extended his tail, which landed on the side of her bed, acting as a moving source of coolness.

However, unexpectedly, Yao Yao, in her drowsy state, reached out and hugged it.

Chong Yan immediately controlled each scale to lie flat, afraid of scratching her.

But Yao Yao seemed to feel very safe, and the temperature immediately became comfortable. She fell asleep contentedly, breathing long and evenly.

Her warm cheek pressed against his tail, as light as a feather, yet Chong Yan still felt uneasy.

Because the place her cheek pressed against was a scar on his tail.

It had been torn and burned, looking extremely ugly and grotesque, like an unsightly insect.

And her clean and soft face was pressed against it, even close to her lips.

Chong Yan wanted to move, but he didn’t want to wake her up.

He stood there, feeling hesitant. Because when she woke up and saw the scar so close to her, she would feel disgusted.

So Chong Yan stood there, caught in a dilemma, and his tail trembled slightly.

Just then, Yao Yao shifted her position, still in a drowsy state.

She felt refreshed.

So she hung her entire body on his cool tail, feeling as comfortable as if she were on a hot summer day with the air conditioning on.

For Chong Yan, it was a part of his body, and she clung to it as if she were hugging him.

All sensations were very clear.

So soft, so soft.

For the first time, Chong Yan felt warmth.

He stood there, at a loss, for a long time, his gaze sweeping around the room, but ultimately landing on her gentle body.

Everything was so quiet, allowing Chong Yan to clearly feel his own emotions.

His silver-white tail gently brushed against her blanket.

He liked the closeness.

Liked it very much.

The next day, Yao Yao set off energetically with the little demon.

The Canglan Grand Event, the extreme of the Eastern Sea, was also an important milestone in the main storyline. After all, the deep sea was full of dangers, pitch black, with mesmerizing vortex formations, and countless gigantic deep-sea creatures fighting each other. Yao Yao wondered where the little demon stood in the food chain of the deep sea.

As Chong Yan carried her through the sky, they gradually felt the moisture of the sea. It was completely different from the terrain in the Abyss, and it felt very unfamiliar to him.

But with the spiritual flow treatment from Yao Yao the day before, Chong Yan had almost reformed the power of his divine eyes. Now, Chong Yan could sense everything hidden beneath the deep sea, thousands of meters below, all the creatures lurking in the deepest corners.

Indeed, they are more formidable than the Abyssal creatures.

Perhaps it’s like changing from an ant to a centipede. The ancient demon mused.

The largest one is probably a snake.

Chong Yan was quite objective.

Yao Yao didn’t know what the little demon was thinking.

As they got closer to the Eastern Sea, she remembered that according to the original plot, at this point Yao Yao would have been weakened by blood extraction and brought along as a blood bag by Li Cangyan. She would have witnessed the declaration of love between the male and female leads underwater, pushing their love triangle into deeper waters.

Yao Yao looked puzzled.

She shook her head and turned to the little demon. “Did you rest well last night?”

She had a super comfortable sleep.

Chong Yan set her down outside the floating bridge to Qiongyan Island. Hearing her voice, Chong Yan, who had the power to crush all sea snakes and worms, lowered his gaze.

All night, she had been holding him.

“Mmm… Rested well.”

At this point, the area outside Qiongyan Island was bustling.

The coast was filled with people who had come to participate in the Canglan Grand Event. Each person carried a guide. With a sweep of her eyes, Yao Yao noticed that many people were carrying several large boxes, with the grandeur resembling a dowry parade.

They were waiting for the Lan family members to come out and start the ceremony to enter the sea.

Yao Yao rested her hand on a cool canopy and looked for her brother amidst the crowd. As a result, she immediately spotted disciples of the Wuji sect, including a very eye-catching and swollen-faced Li Cangyan and Su Yilin.

Seeing them still alive, she couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

But after all, they were the male and female leads. If they died, this world would collapse prematurely.

Li Cangyan’s face was swollen, but it didn’t affect his confidence.
