“…” Ji Yan’s face flushed in embarrassment and buried her head on his back, as quiet as a quail.

All of his actions were done in one go making the others dumbfounded and by the time they reacted these two had walked a few steps away and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Kong Yu took the lead and smoothed things over with a smile, “My cousin, rarely contact women before, maybe…”

Shao Xin nodded, “No problem.”

Kong Yu was so embarrassed that he cursed inwardly.

These two only cared about themselves and asked him to come to deal with the aftermath every time. Is it easy for him?

And ahead, Ji Yan peacefully lying on Yin Xuezhuo’s back, her lengthy hair hanging down on his shoulders, smelling the remnant smell of begonia flowers from earlier which still lingered on his sleeves, her eyes slightly closed on its own while the corner of her lips rose, “Yin Xuezhuo.”

“Huh?” Yin Xuezhuo tilted his head.

“Is this the first time you’ve carried someone on your back?” and continued after a little pause, “Have you ever carried other women?”

Yin Xuezhuo: “No.”

Content with the answer, she happily snuggled on his back, and the curve on her mouth almost reached the ear.

Somehow, her sweet laughter came into his ears, making his ears itchy inexplicably, and it was indescribably messy with his heart. He lowered his eyes and felt her blowing quietly in his ears. “Yin Xuezhuo, I found you a bit weird today.”

Yin Xuezhuo: “Weird?”

Ji Yan: “Weirdly cute [1].”

Yin Xuezhuo: “…”

Ji Yan hugged his neck and said, “Can you play Zither?”

“No.”

She laughed, “Then how did you pluck my heartstrings?”

Yin Xuezhuo: “…”

Ji Yan smiled happily on his back.

She was also bored, so she flirted with him with earthy love words on a whim. If he had half of Shao Xin’s youthful shyness, he might have blushed a long time ago, but he just lowered his eyes looked at the road under his feet, and walked forward while answering her naive questions from time to time.

She also knew too well that Yin Xuezhuo also liked her but he was not good at expressing his emotions, or more like didn’t like to express his feelings.

Therefore, no matter where she was, what difficulties she faced, or how powerful the enemy was, she was never afraid as long as he was by her side.

Ji Yan peacefully lay on his back, and their journey went on for an unknown period of time until a rustling sound suddenly came from her ear.

The darkness grew stronger, and the wind that had been traveling through the valley suddenly disappeared, leaving only the rustling sound from all directions.

“Be careful!” Kong Yu drew his sword, and the spiritual bead in his hand burst into light, illuminating the surroundings.

At a glance, Ji Yan’s scalp tingled.

The surrounding stone walls were densely covered with countless poisonous scorpions, which were crawling toward them.

The scorpion was very big. Ji Yan had never seen such a big scorpion in her life. The places where the scorpions crawled were all emitting black fog and sizzling, like corrosive sulfuric acid. They were densely packed and crawled towards them quickly from the stone wall to the ground.

Everyone drew their swords and quickly formed a circle to slash and kill these scorpions.

The Shao Bai Divine Sword was infinitely powerful among them and with a slash he easily killed a bunches of them. The scorpions seemed to know that he was not easy to mess with, they all crawled toward Ji Yan, who seemed to be the weakest.

Ji Yan screamed in fright and hugged Yin Xuezhuo’s neck tightly.

She grew up fearless, but she was most afraid of this disgusting thing. At this moment, she held Yin Xuezhuo tightly and did not dare to move at all. As it approached her it suddenly bounced off by an invisible barrier.

That group of scorpions was unwilling, crawling towards Ji Yan, but every time before they touched her, they were bounced off.

Huh?

she opened her eyes cautiously, only to see that the necklace Yin Xuezhuo gave her was working.

The profound ice scales were an excellent self-defense artifact, and with Yin Xuezhuo by her side, the minions under these cliffs were not her opponents at all. No wonder Yin Xuezhuo carried her on his back and had no intention of letting her down at all.

“This is a monster blood-eating scorpion.” Yin Xuezhuo whispered and sneered disdainfully, “A bunch of reptiles, they only dare to act recklessly here..”

As the nightmare at the top of the food chain, Yin Xuezhuo never put any Demonic beasts in his eyes.

If it weren’t for his breath being suppressed, these scorpions would probably have fled far away, not to mention coming out to attack people.

Ji Yan: As expected to be the king of the Demon Realm, was awesome.

She couldn’t help but spit out: “Yin Xuezhuo, you’re so ruthless, you should recover sooner if you have the ability.”

His body stiffened for a moment as expected.

Tsk, poking at his sore spot.

Yin Xuezhuo without spiritual power, was a toothless tiger. At most, he could howl fiercely but could not get fierce.

Ji Yan’s anger gone as soon as it came and started to smoothen him: “Well, it’s not that there’s no chance, I hear there’s a lot of treasure here. If we can find it, we can recover our strength just around the corner.”

In fact, she wasn’t just blabbering, what she said was truth. 

The Refining Abyss in the original book was a forbidden place, because it was treacherous and terrifying, with countless demons down there, and those who went there couldn’t even keep their souls.

But the cliff was not.

Although the cliff was said to be dangerous, it was only because many treasures were hidden here. The terrain here is special, the spiritual energy of Lingbao supports many living creatures. For hundreds of years, countless people have invaded here to find these treasures, but only a handful of people did. At the beginning of the Kunning Sect, countless people came down to hunt for treasure, either found nothing or found the treasure, but they never returned.

It was later set as a forbidden place to prevent people from dying for profit.

Yin Miaorou was clearly an anomaly.

Falling off the cliff, accidentally stumbled upon the Nightmare Clan here, harvested countless treasures, and finally gained a lot of strength and returned magnificently.

Ji Yan wasn’t stupid enough to save Yin Miaorou, so why brought her boyfriend to rescue the woman who had hurt him?

Because Yin Miaorou’s treasure was valuable!

If Yin Xuezhuo got it… it will be a minute to complete the system mission, and the finale big ending, OK? Ji Yan would not let go of such a good thing. If she let go of the scene and waited patiently for the plot to unfold by its own when the time came, the unlucky ones would be her and Yin Xuezhuo.

Ji Yan was a little excited at the thought of those treasures. She carefully observed the surroundings and wanted to see what was happening. After watching for a long time, she still asked Yin Xuezhuo in frustration: “Look around here, do you find anything strange??”

Yin Xuezhuo said: “The maze.”

“Hmmm?”

Yin Xuezhuo: “From the moment we came in, we entered a maze, and if we keep going on like this, it will become more and more dangerous, and we will eventually be trapped here.”

Ji Yan: “!”

Don’t say, you’ve actually seen it long ago!

As thought of something, she jumped from his back and jumped around to his front on one foot. Just as she thought, the excited sneer hanging on his lips, she was silent momentarily, “I think it’s better for us not to do things.”

Every time he showed this expression, it was the law of villainy kicking in, and a big wave must be made.

As a villain, it’s okay to mess up, but the problem is, he has become a little mute, can’t he really stop for a while?

Yin Xuezhuo met her gaze, and blinked, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.

“Hey, I don’t bother to deal with them myself.” He sneered: “Let’s watch the show, the person in secret hasn’t shown up yet.”

As soon as he was excited, his eyes became a little red, and the nails on his hands became longer again, which gradually attracted Ji Yan’s attention. Which jolted Ji Yan she looked around and found no one was looking at them, and dragged him to the corner, took out the scissors from the storage bag, and cut off his nails again.

Yin Xuezhuo: “…” He was really angry.
