Chapter 16:

Yao Yao didn’t even have time to react to what was happening, but in the moment when the rose showed abnormality, she instinctively channeled her spiritual power, blocking it.

The other party didn’t expect that her bloodline power had increased a hundredfold. Because of that critical block, the effectiveness of the symbol was reduced by thirty percent, losing its lethality.

Afterward, Yao Yao was pulled by an unknown force and lost consciousness.

Chong Yan immediately got up and was about to go to her, without even looking at Li Cangyan who flew towards him.

However, the ancient symbol had turned into a poisonous substance that quickly broke through the skin and entered the meridians, becoming uncontrollable. As soon as Chong Yan got up, he was heavily pressed down by a familiar restraining force, and his knees hit the cracked ice, with traces of blood at the corners of his cold lips.

Chong Yan ‘s pair of cold and different-colored pupils became restless and violent, and the bone spikes instantly swelled like mad snakes.

This symbol and the blood taboo from thirty thousand years ago were related.

If it weren’t for Yao Yao blocking that attack with her bloodline power, his meridians might have burst on the spot.

Because of this, Li Canyan didn’t dare to act now. Although Chong Yan was severely injured, there was still residual divine power.

However, the brilliance of ancient symbols lay in their ability to grow on their own.

Once it entered Chong Yan ‘s body, it would travel along his meridians, attacking his weak points and endlessly weakening his vast divine power, similar to embedding a maddening prohibition circle within the boundless blood taboo.

As long as it couldn’t be broken through, his divine body would gradually go out of control, and his consciousness would become blurred, gradually turning into a monster that was neither human nor beast.

Therefore, it wasn’t the right time yet. Li Canyan didn’t have the confidence to kill this monster.

He looked at the man with a hateful gaze.

Handsome. Li Canyan didn’t want to use this word to describe him. But the fact that the ancient demon had such a handsome human form, from his face to his body, was like a true divine creation, unbelievably perfect.

No, no, he was just a monster wearing human skin.

So, Yao Yao was seduced by him, wasn’t she?

Li Canyan, with an indescribable jealousy and the satisfaction of finally being able to speak in front of Chong Yan, said, “Yao Yao  has no idea what you really are. If she knew, she would have escaped immediately.”

While saying this, Li Canyan carry Yao Yao up and placed her in the teleportation array.

Chong Yan began to restlessly attack, surging ice flames in his palms, fiercely bombarding the restraining circle around him, exuding a god-like might that shook the mountains and rivers. The frozen clouds gathered, and the entire abyss felt the fury of the ruler of the Demon Realm.

Even though he was trapped, Li Canyan still felt the suffocating pressure and subconsciously took a step back, a cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Even though he had the advantage in the situation, he couldn’t help but feel fear.

Li Canyan retreated while saying, “Yao Yao was just angry with me. We’ve had an engagement for many years. She used to like helping me exterminate demons and always understood that humans and demons cannot coexist. So, she obtained the Divine Meteor Eye for me.”

Finally, Chong Yan gave him a glance.

This person was the one with Yao Yao when he was cut with a knife that day. In his eyes, he was as weak as an ant that could be crushed at any moment.

“No.”

It wasn’t Yao Yao who said that. Chong Yan wouldn’t believe a word from Cangyan.

Li Canyan also knew that Chong Yan had seen Yao Yao cut him, so he came up with a plan and said, “The jade pendant on my waist and the hairpin she wore are a pair. Can’t you see it?”

Actually, there was no pair of jade pendant and hairpin, but Li Canyan guessed that this monster didn’t understand human objects, and his jade pendant and Yao Yao ‘s hairpin were both made of green jade, which should be enough.

Sure enough, the eyes of the demon god went blank for a moment.

“What are you exactly. I will personally tell Yao Yao,” Li Canyan suppressed the feeling of horror in his heart and said, “Now I’m going to take her home.”

“No.” Chong Yan ‘s eyes became cold and hollow as he reached out his hand.

The blue ice flames futilely clashed against the restraining circle, and the loss of control caused unpredictable changes in his body. There seemed to be traces of a dragon tail in the void.

He wanted to personally tell her.

He didn’t want to deceive her.

“Does a devil even deserve to have feelings?”

In an instant, the ant that Chong Yan didn’t care about suddenly grew larger. And he, holding the rose, gradually shrank and turned into a humble young beast from many years ago.

That person disappeared into the teleportation array with Yao Yao .

Only Chong Yan was left standing there, gradually turning into a monster.

_______

“What about the Divine Meteor Eye?”

“I can’t find them.”

“Master Ji has already arrived.”

“Is Ji Rong going to stay nearby the whole time?”

“Half of the Chang Sword Sect’s people have arrived. They are really going to war with the Wujizong.”

“Let’s calm them first, I’ll handle it.”

Yao Yao regained consciousness in a daze but didn’t immediately open her eyes, remaining highly alert.

She waited until the people who were speaking left the room before quietly opening her eyes.

That male lead, what a lunatic.

Capturing her was one thing, but why did he hurt Chong Yan?

As the guardian of Little Demon, Yao Yao was infuriated. When she found out that something had been placed on the rose, Chong Yan was still foolishly reaching out to catch it.

She had to find him quickly.

It seemed that her brother had foresight and hadn’t left the vicinity of Wuji Sect. So, listening to their conversation just now, her brother had already arrived with his sword. The situation wasn’t too bad.

Yao Yao tried to raise her hand, but because she had been unconscious for a while, her body still felt weak.

She closed her eyes and felt the shallow golden spiritual energy slowly circulating through her body, passing through her limbs and then moving towards her heart, gradually restoring her strength.

Yao Yao felt slightly relieved. If Chong Yan was injured, she could heal him in time.

Regaining her strength, Yao Yao quickly sat up and checked herself.

Fortunately, she had put the Divine Meteor Eye in the treasure chest in her sea of consciousness. That treasure chest was specially linked to her due to her player identity, making it impossible for others to view or sense it. Otherwise, that dog Li Canyan would definitely try to take it away.

But as soon as she sat up, footsteps could be heard outside the door, and Yao Yao quickly lay back down.

“Yao Yao, you’re awake.”

When Li Canyan walked in, he sensed a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy. He sat down by the bed and said, “It’s good that you’re okay. I was really worried about you.”

Yao Yao didn’t pay him any attention. Li Canyan sighed and said, “I know you have grievances against me, but even so, you can’t stay by that dangerous person’s side anymore, do you understand?”

Yao Yao was completely puzzled by what she was hearing. She finally opened her eyes and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Li Canyan looked at her deeply with his still handsome and heroic appearance. “You really don’t know?”

“What are you talking about?” Yao Yao said, clearly expressing her confusion. She had no patience for the male lead.
