"So that was a demon, huh? They're not as strong as I thought." Yuan said, still putting up the act that this was his first encounter with a demon.
However, Tian Suyin immediately saw through his act and pointed at him and shouted, "Y-You think this is funny?! There's no way that was your first fight with a demon since you clearly knew about its regeneration abilities, or else you wouldn't have done something so ridiculous as your first move!"
Yuan smiled at her remarks and asked, "Even if I told you that I have the ability to kill them, would you have believed me?"
"T-That's…" Tian Suyin immediately became speechless, as there was no way that she'd have believed him.
"You're really full of surprises, Xiao Yang." Tian Yanyu said with a dazed face.
"Not only have you encountered them, you seem very experienced with fighting them. Where'd you learn that, hm?" Jin Xi looked at him with an intrigued gaze.
"I will tell you if you tell me your relationship with the masked man." Yuan smiled at her.
"Wha— Why do you care so much about my relationship with another man? Are you jealous?" She laughed.
Tian Yanyu stared at Yuan intensively.
Yuan shrugged, "Will you tell me if I admit that I am jealous?"
"No," she immediately replied.
Yuan merely shook his head in silence before speaking, "Anyways, let's continue."
They started moving again shortly after.
"Xiao Yang, are you really jealous?" Tian Yanyu asked him using divine sense.
"Huh? No way."
"Then why do you care so much?"
"To tell you the truth, I have some connections to the masked man, so I was just interested."
"What?!" Tian Yanyu exclaimed in a shocked voice after hearing this.
"Why are you suddenly shouting?" Tian Suyin frowned.
"S-Sorry…"
Jin Xi glanced at them. She contemplated listening in on their conversation, but knowing Yuan's ability, he'd easily realize it.
"Keep it a secret, okay?" Yuan chuckled.
"Of course… But how do you know the masked man? Isn't he the creator of this place?"
"I don't actually know him. Sorry, I don't know how to explain it. It's complicated."
After all, it wasn't as if he could say that he was the masked man's reincarnation.
"Is that so…" Despite her curiosity, Tian Yanyu didn't pursue the topic any longer.
After walking for a little longer, Tian Yanyu suddenly asked, "Hey… I just noticed this, but why are we walking? Wouldn't it be faster if we flew there?"
"If you wish to be spotted easily by demons and magical beasts, by all means, I don't mind flying." Jin Xi said.
This quickly made Tian Yanyu speechless.
"A-Actually, never mind. I was being too shortsighted," she apologized in an embarrassed manner.
"Wait a second." Yuan suddenly jumped in, and he continued, "That's actually not a bad idea. Time is precious in this place, after all. Don't worry, I will deal with any danger that we encounter."
"…"
Normally, this is where Tian Suyin objects and starts calling him reckless.
"Don't worry, they are all low-ranking demons. I can deal with them with closed eyes." freewebnoveℓ.com
