The next day. 

The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the sky, and the sunlight penetrated through the treetops and spilled over the windowsills.

Ji Yan opened her eyes and felt her warmth all over. At some point, she rested her head on Yin Xuezhuo’s lap unknowingly. He was sitting against the wall, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were soft. His fingers casually combed her long hair, gently brushing them. Seeing her wake up, he looked down at her face.

Hugging his arm, she greeted him with a smile. “Zhuo Zhuo, good morning.”

Yin Xuezhuo gave a faint “um”.

All night he sat here, not knowing what to do, just watching her sleeping face silently.

Ji Yan slowly sat up, leaning on his shoulders, Yin Xuezhuo tilted his head and said. “You are still calling my name in your sleep.”

Is that so?

Ji Yan’s face was a little red. “Because I dreamed of you.”

“Dream?” Yin Xuezhuo frowned, “Is it a sweet dream?”

“It’s a sweet dream.”

“How does it feel to have a sweet dream?” He wondered to himself.

Ji Yan didn’t know how to describe it, just then she heard him add: “My previous dreams have all been eaten up, so I never sleep.”

Ji Yan was slightly shocked. “What do you mean… been eaten up?”

Yin Xuezhuo said lightly: “Under the Refining Abyss, there are countless dream tapirs that feed on dreams, they eat up all my dreams.”

Back then, he was restrained under Refining Abyss. Where there, day and night apart from cultivation, he had only dreams.

Under Refining Abyss, there were many tapirs that feed on dreams. Those weren’t powerful, and they didn’t dare to offend a powerful spiritual creature like him, but the stronger they were, the sweeter they are, making the demons salivate, not to mention Yin Xuezhuo, who had been stripped of his scales, was so weak that those dream tapirs were unscrupulous and they gradually growing up by eating him all day and night,.

Until there’s no more dreams to eat.

So later, the only demonic nightmare under the universal sky, had no dream, and never slept.

In fact, those swallowed dreams were all nightmares, which only made him fall deep into the abyss, so he didn’t feel sorry for being swallowed up. Later, after coming out of the abyss, he didn’t kill those dream tapirs.

Ji Yan felt sorry for him and her heart softened, she didn’t know where to comfort him, but obviously Yin Xuezhuo was not the one who needed comfort. Because when talking about the past, his expression did not change much, it was as if it were someone else’s past.

Having not known what to do, she simply leaned against his arms and hugged him quietly without speaking. Yin Xuezhuo glanced at her, and found that every time he mentioned his past, she would be a little softer and more clingy.

Even though he wasn’t sure why she cared more about his past than he did, he really liked the way she clung to him like this. The two cuddled together for a long time until the sound of footsteps interrupted it. Ji Yan hurriedly pushed Yin Xuezhou a little.

Yin Xuezhuo was a little reluctant and didn’t want to go, but under her pleading gaze he moved lazily, and his body turned into a black mist and disappeared.

Just then, the door was opened from outside, Ji Yan was the only one sitting alone on the bed.

Those who came in were female disciples, led by Qin Yu, who came in to freshen up Ji Yan, take a pulse test, and change her medicine. Ji Yan had gotten better in the past few days at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was now able to move freely. After combing her hair into a bun, she followed the female disciples out.

In the Wenyin Pavilion’s main hall. 

The Sect Leader and several elders stood at the top and did not sit down. The strongest one was the most respected. Among the group, Shao Bai was the strongest one, and he was just leaning on the side instead of sitting. So with him present, others were not good enough to overstep the mark to sit down.

They have been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Ji Yan came over, she met Shao Bai’s  ice-cold gaze at first glance.

Looking at her up and down, Shao Bai asked coldly: “Are you Ji Yunqing’s sister?”

Shao Bai had only been entangled with Yin Miaorou before, and had a little friendship with Ji Yunqing, and had never met Ji Yan, let alone heard of this person.

Everything had come to this point, and it was useless for her to lie now, so she nodded her head and admitted directly.

In Linshuang City, she blatantly betrayed the human race and stood by Yin Xuezhou’s side. There were still people in Lingshuang City, so anyone could spread the news. Ji Yan admitted who she was and also indirectly admitted she was a member of Demon Race.

 And sure enough, as soon as she nodded, the surrounding elders of the Wenyin Pavilion expressions changed significantly.

It was impossible for anyone to put on a good face towards a traitor, and Ji Yan understands that.

Even though she was being looked at like this by everyone, her heart was calm as water.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, was it comparable to the time in Linshuang City? At least now, she’s not being forced to kneel.

For so long she had experienced all kinds of discrimination, except that they now have an extra layer of fear and disgust in their eyes than disdain.

Ji Yan had a good mentality, so this trivial matter of being stared at by everyone had no impact on her.

However, Shao Xin on the side noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly came out to explain: “In fact, although Miss Ji used to follow the Demon Lord, she has never harmed anyone. I was taken away by the demon lord. If it weren’t for Miss Ji, I would have been killed by the demon long ago.”

Shao Bai frowned and took a glance at Shao Xin, after all it was for his sake, so he calmed down a bit, and warned Ji Yan coldly: “I only saved your life for Shao Xin’s face. I advise you not to play any tricks, if you have any collusion with the demons, I will not let you go.”

Shao Xin wanted to speak again, but at the same time didn’t know what to say. Ji Yan lowered her eyes and smiled: “What can I do? — —  of course I can’t do anything.”

The head of Wenyin Pavilion stared at Ji Yan for a while, then turned to Shao Bai. “You are going to rescue the head Yin, but want to take her with you? If you don’t know how to arrange, you can also put her under house arrest in the Wenyin Pavilion forbidden place, which is a formation personally laid by the ancestor before his ascension, to prevent other demons from invading.”

“No, I don’t want to bother the noble sect for this trivial matter.” Shao Bai shook his head and continued: “I will bring her by my side, and can also lure Yin Xuezhuo to appear early. As long as he appears, I can directly use the Wan Qiu Sword to cut off the grass and eliminate the root.”

Ji Yan lowered her head, looked down at her toes thinking in her heart, ‘tempting to lure Yin Xuezhuo, did you know that Yin Xuezhuo was here?’

What’s the use of having the Wan Qiu Jiu? His cultivation was not as good as Yin Xuezhuo, and he still couldn’t detect his existence.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with her, just discuss the plan with this group of people, she just needed to stick to them, and it won’t be too late to deal with them after Zhuo Zhuo recovers from his injuries.
