After the three of them ascended, they came to an empty flatland. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and there was a large pool in front of them. Perhaps to match this unique posh of the upper realm, there was an immortal aura that varied from a foot to two feet floating around. It could also be said to be the fog in the mountain.
The three of them stood in the open space and looked around in shock.
âIs this⦠the upper realm?â Yan Xiaosi asked with a puzzled expression. It was no different from the Holy Land! Of course, she did not know if it was different from her hometown. After all, she had never successfully left the Holy Land.
The Demon Lord and the Holy Master were also dumbfounded. Other than the richer spiritual energy, this place did not seem to be much different from the lower realm.
In fact, it was even more desolate. Within a hundred miles, their divine senses could not sense the existence of any living creatures.
This living thing included but was not limited to humans and beasts.
âCould it be that we came to the wrong place? This⦠is the upper realm?â The Demon Lord originally planned to say something cool, but when the words reached his lips, he remembered that Yan Xiaosi was beside him and was too embarrassed to say hooligan words, so he changed it.
The Holy Master frowned for once. He had lived for more than ten thousand years, so he naturally knew more than a newly appointed young demon lord like Xiao Zhao. However, from his understanding, he never expected the upper realm to be like this.
âWe came up from the ascending passageway. It shouldnât be wrong. Could it be that weâre still on the edge of the upper realm?â he murmured.
âAh!â Yan Xiaosi suddenly looked at her hands and shouted, âI realized something! I suddenly became powerful just now! Has my restriction been removed?â
Their hearts skipped a beat. Not good, this was even worse than discovering that the upper realm was like this! If this girl realized that she could do whatever she wanted, the two of them would probably be powerless.
The Demon Lord said, âItâs not! You just accidentally let the lightning tribulation split a crack in the restriction! â
The Holy Master said, âThatâs right. Donât use your abilities randomly. The restriction has to be slowly removed. If you forcefully break it, it will cause a backlash to your body.â
The two of them, who were incompatible, maintained a high degree of agreement on this problem.
ââ¦Oh.â Seeing that the two of them were so serious, Yan Xiaosi obediently nodded.
âBut if my restrictions are removed, I can leave the Holy Land to see Uncle Bruiser get married.â Yan Xiaosi said weakly.
âItâs not removed!â The two of them said in unison!
Yan Xiaosi was stunned by their auras. She knew that the two of them had a good relationship, but why did they always have such a good relationship?
The Holy Master suddenly said, âLetâs walk forward and see if there are any new discoveries. â
It couldnât be that there wasnât a single cultivator in the upper realm.
âYes.â The Demon Lord agreed.
Their goal here was mainly to find food for Yan Xiaosi, so he did not care if they could find cultivators. It was fine as long as they had powerful spiritual beasts.
âWhich way?â Yan Xiaosi rubbed her eyes. She was sleepy.
This place matched the time of the Holy Land. Yan Xiaosi was used to sleeping early and taking a nap in the afternoon. Today, her nap was ruined by the Tribulation Transcendence, so she was sleepy before it was dark.
The Demon Lord squatted down. âIâll carry you. Go to sleep.â
Yan Xiaosi yawned and lay on his back. After a while, she fell asleep.
Looking at Yan Xiaosi lying on a manâs back so easily, the Holy Master frowned imperceptibly.
Yan Xiaosi was not someone who would easily get close to others, let alone that the other party was a man. Actually, even Yan Xiaosi herself could not explain why she did not reject the closeness of the Demon Lord at all.
At first, she was clearly worried that he would kill her, but the more she interacted with him, the more she felt that this person could be trusted from the bottom of her heart.
Yan Xiaosi lay on the Demon Lordâs broad back, her little head resting on his shoulder.
âBrother Xiao Zhao,â she said in a daze. âIâm sleeping.â
âYes, go to sleep,â the Demon Lord replied softly, his voice gentle and magnetic.
Yan Xiaosi quickly fell asleep.
The Holy Master turned his face away imperceptibly and walked southeast. The Demon Lord had no objections to going in any direction. With the little girl on his back, this was very good. Although he knew that she would most likely not be cold, he still took out a cloak from his Cosmos Ring and covered her.
The Holy Master walked forward expressionlessly, his steps a little fast.
The Demon Lord took in his reaction. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he chased after him and said, âWhy? Are you feeling uncomfortable?â The Holy Master glanced at him and ignored him.
The Demon Lord said, âDonât forget how old you are. Donât think about eating young grass. â
The Holy Master frowned and glared at him. If not for Yan Xiaosi on his back, the Holy Master would probably have already fought with him. âIf you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that Iâll kill you!â
âCan you kill me?â The Demon Lord said arrogantly.
The Holy Master said coldly, âThis is not the Demon Domain. Even if you can use your spiritual energy to cultivate, youâre still more used to the Demon Clanâs cultivation techniques. Who do you think has the higher chance of winning?
Bastard! The Demon Lord gritted his teeth and snorted. âI wonât argue with you!â With that, he carried Yan Xiaosi and quickly flew past the Holy Master.
The Holy Master looked at their backs and closed his eyes slightly. He took a deep breath. They flew a hundred miles southeast on their swords. Not to mention a figure, they did not even see a shadow of an insect. âWhat kind of place is this?â The Demon Lord asked strangely.
The sky darkened and they sat down by a stream.
The Demon Lordâs Demon Palace had been destroyed by Yan Xiaosi, so he couldnât find a place to sleep even if he wanted to. However, there were ready-made large rocks here, so he didnât mind.
He sat on the stone and hugged Yan Xiaosi in his arms. He said to the Holy Master, who was looking at the moon in the sky in a daze, âHey, light a fire.â âWhy do you want to start a fire?â The Holy Master asked.
There were only two uses for starting a fire. One was to keep warm, and the other was to chase away wild beasts and mosquitoes. However, they did not use any of these because not only were they not afraid of the cold, but they also could not wait to encounter wild beasts and mosquitoes.
âYouâve been a Holy Master for too long. Have you forgotten what a human is?â The Demon Lord had not forgotten that he had a Blood Demon body to begin with. Other than not liking to eat, he was no different from normal people. He looked at Yan Xiaosi in his arms and said, âWhen she wakes up and sees that itâs so dark, sheâll be homesick.â
The Holy Master was stunned. Indeed, with Yan Xiaosiâs guts, it was impossible for her to be afraid of the dark. However, it was probably really possible for her to miss her family.
The Holy Master found dry wood and used his spiritual energy to start a fire. The fire shone on their faces, casting a layer of orange light. Yan Xiaosi was sleeping soundly. She was curled up in the Demon Lordâs arms. It was unknown if she was having a beautiful dream, but she was drooling.
The Demon Lord looked down at her with a gentle gaze.
The Holy Master clenched his fists and stood up. âIâll go over there and take a look. â
He walked down the stream. He left the fire behind. However, without turning around, he could sense their movements with his divine sense.
Xiao Zhao hugged her tightly.
He clenched his fists bit by bit.
âIf you like her, then snatch her. Why are you hesitating so much?â A teasing voice sounded. The Holy Masterâs eyes turned cold and he immediately became vigilant. âHeh, how useless.â
The voice came again.
The Holy Master came to the stream and looked at the water that had stopped at some point. He saw a black figure appear inside. âWho are you?â He asked coldly.
The black shadow in the water smiled faintly. âIt doesnât matter who I am. Whatâs important is that I can help you.â
The Holy Master said in a cold voice, âI donât need anyoneâs help.â
The black shadow smiled until circles of ripples appeared on the water surface. âYou also care about that girl, right? You used most of your cultivation to plant a double restriction on her, causing you to be unable to even defeat a seventeen-year-old young Demon Lord. Others might not know, but how can I not know? On the fifteenth of every month, you will go to the Immortal Sect to visit that girl. On the fifteenth, itâs the day of the backlash from Yan Jiuchaoâs Longevity Technique. He canât sense your existence. After so many years, the girl you protect has grown up, but in the end, she has become someone elseâs. Wonât you be unwilling?
âHere, let me help you. Anyway, that kid can only live for one lifetime. Youâre different. As long as youâre willing, you can be together for life.â
The Holy Master suddenly transformed a spiritual energy sword and stabbed at the black shadow on the lake. Water splashed everywhere, but the black shadow mysteriously dispersed, leaving only a series of strange laughter floating in the Holy Masterâs ears.
The Holy Master returned to his resting place.
Yan Xiaosi was already awake and was sitting on a stone eating the rabbit meat that the Demon Lord had roasted for her.
The Demon Lordâs storage ring stored many spirit pets. He originally planned to give them to Yan Xiaosi to play with, but now, they were eaten by Yan Xiaosi. Although they were different from what he had imagined, they were still given to Yan Xiaosi.
âIs it good?â The Demon Lord asked.
âMm!â Yan Xiaosi puffed up her cheeks and nodded. Her mouth was so busy that she couldnât speak.
This rabbit was especially fat and had a lot of fat. The Demon Lord took another Demon Fruit and inserted a thin reed tube to feed her. Yan Xiaosi took a big bite from his hand. The milky pulp instantly diluted the oil of the roasted rabbit meat.
âIs Brother Xiao Zhao good?â The Demon Lord asked.
âNlm!â yan maosl noaaea ana ate anotner moutnrul or rat ana juicy rat)D1t meat.
âThen can you follow Brother Xiao Zhao every day from now on?â
âMm!â Yan Xiaosi vaguely felt that she had agreed to something incredible, but the rabbit meat was too delicious, and the fruit pulp was too delicious. She didnât have the time to think about it carefully..
