Ye Yu was quite surprised to see Yue Wanqiu’s arrival.
“Why have you come all of a sudden?” he asked.
Yue Wanqiu did not rush to answer. She studied Ye Yu intently, confirming he was unharmed, before slowly recounting her experience.
It turned out that after the four Demon King–ranked powerhouses perished at the hands of the Manniu Clan, the Sanctuary sent a Sanctified Envoy to find Yue Wanqiu. They invited her to join the Sanctuary, promising that if she agreed, they would no longer investigate the deaths of Zhen Yue or She Tong. And, they said, Ye Yu would also agree to join.
Yue Wanqiu did not trust them. She asked for a few days to consider, vowing to decide only after seeing Ye Yu.
The Envoy said nothing further—perhaps he believed that if even a Sanctuary Elder struck, Ye Yu would be an easy conquest.
Without hesitation, Yue Wanqiu set out for Rogue Demon City. Before she arrived, she felt the overwhelming demonic aura and encountered many fleeing demons. From them she learned that Ye Yu was still inside the city, and so she hurried to help.
But when she reached the scene, the battle was already over.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu could not help but smile.
“It’s all right—everything’s finished now.”
“Good, I’m glad you’re safe. I...”
Before Yue Wanqiu could finish, Nangong Jingtang, standing nearby, interrupted: “You’re the demon who helped me purge my inner devil before, aren’t you? I’m truly grateful.”
“If not for you, I might have become ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) a demon consumed by slaughter—and couldn’t stay with Ye Yu.”
As she spoke, Nangong Jingtang stepped before Yue Wanqiu. Taller and tilting her head slightly, she looked like a proud peacock. Though she smiled, it carried little warmth.
Only then did Yue Wanqiu notice Nangong Jingtang’s presence. She had been so worried about Ye Yu’s safety that she saw only him and ignored everyone else.
By her tone and bearing, it was clear Nangong Jingtang had recovered from her weakness—and her hostility was genuine. As Ye Yu’s bonded demon companion, she had every right to guard him jealously.
Yue Wanqiu forced a smile, her heart aching. “You flatter me, Demon Friend. I merely offered assistance—not worth mentioning. Since you and Ye Yu are safe, I will take my leave.”
