[Demon Realm]
Shenlian Yingyue didn’t mind. She nodded expressionlessly. "I have something to do. Farewell."
The youth lifted his eyebrows in surprise; it was unusual for someone to overlook his cheeky demeanor. He was accustomed to people labeling him as impolite, yet this woman completely dismissed his presence.
"Wait a second," Di Xiuyu’s voice echoed before she could walk away.
Bing Xue grabbed Shenlian Yingyue’s wrist, frowning. He glared coldly at Di Xiuyu. What does this woman want now?
"I mean no harm. Since we’ve met, why don’t we have a chat? Last time in the Throne Hall, you warned me about danger. Thanks to you, I managed to get rid of that demonic cat. I owe you a life-saving grace," Di Xiuyu said with gratitude.
Without Shenlian Yingyue’s reminder, she might have gotten entangled with the demonic cat and suffered unimaginable consequences.
Luckily, she had chosen to take only half of the treasures from the Throne Hall and left after completing the trial.
By "demonic cat," she was referring to Xiao Meng, who had forced her to hand over the key to the Inheritance Hall.
"There’s no need to say that. Danger lurks everywhere, my words were just a reminder." Shenlian Yingyue felt a chill run down her spine. For some reason, she had a strong sense of déjà vu.
Why does this feel familiar? Why do I see a vision of Di Xiuyu smiling so softly, yet stabbing me in the back so cruelly?
"It can’t be like this. I, Di Xiuyu, am not an ungrateful person. Since your words saved my life, I want to repay your kindness." Di Xiuyu suddenly stopped smiling. She took out a wooden box from her system space and handed it to Shenlian Yingyue. "Please accept this as my gratitude."
Shenlian Yingyue fixed her gaze on the box but didn’t move.
"This is a legendary elixir, The Elixir of Eternal Bloom. It was crafted by an Immortal who has already ascended to the Deity Realm. It grants spiritual ascension, higher awareness, and increases soul power." Di Xiuyu opened the wooden box, revealing a glowing silver elixir. A medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Yet, Shenlian Yingyue remained unmoved. She had no interest in taking anything from Di Xiuyu. Who knows what she’s planning? She was about to refuse, but Bing Xue pulled her close and whispered,
"Take it, or this woman will never stop bothering you, Master."
Shenlian Yingyue looked at Di Xiuyu, who stubbornly insisted on giving the gift. Bing Xue was right. If she truly wanted to sever ties with Di Xiuyu, it was best to take it and end things here.
"Thank you. After this, let’s pretend we don’t know each other. You’re scaring me." Shenlian Yingyue took the wooden box and stored it in her Ethereal Small World.
Di Xiuyu: "..."
The teenager: "..."
Bing Xue smirked, enjoying the feeling of holding her in his arms and her cuteness.
Bu Si Shu burst into laughter when he saw Di Xiuyu’s face, it was as if she had swallowed a fly.
Shenlian Yingyue shrugged and turned to leave, oblivious to the look in Di Xiuyu’s eyes.
"Sister Xiuyu, what’s on your mind?" The Demon King asked with a sly smile. He knew Di Xiuyu’s nature well.
"Wait and see." Di Xiuyu smiled mysteriously and began to count.
"Three, two, one."
Suddenly, just as Shenlian Yingyue took her tenth step, she found herself surrounded by countless demons. Their red eyes locked onto her. She froze.
"Catch that woman! The Elixir of Eternal Bloom is in her hands!"
"Hand over the legendary elixir or die!"
Shenlian Yingyue’s lips twitched. As expected, she turned around and saw Di Xiuyu leaning against a tree, watching her with a cunning smile.
