For a few moments, Yan Hui was quite grateful that she had left the mountain village in Tong Luo Mountain.
Otherwise, who knows how many villagers would've been scared to death when that unstoppable horde of demons rushed over.
Yan Hui subconsciously withdrew into Tian Yao's embrace so that he could hug her tighter. Tian Yao looked at Yan Hui who had retreated within herself. His lips twitched, but he made no other movement.
The demons on the riverbank searched for a while but didn't see anyone. One by one, they headed downstream. It wasn't long before most of the demon army had left.
The black shadows by the river's edge were becoming sparse. There was only one left, close to where Tian Yao and Yan Hui were. It was still looking around for the scent. The two people in the river watched it closely.
When the demon finally left to join the leaving army, the rock Tian Yao was holding onto suddenly dislodged. A stream of bubbles burbled up toward the water surface.
Tian Yao hurriedly grabbed onto another rock to anchor themselves. However, it was too late to stop the bubbles heading toward the surface.
The bubbles disappeared with a faint "popping" sound when they reached the surface.
It was extremely quiet. Under the night sky, almost no one would hear it. However, the demon's ear twitched. He looked at the bubbles popping on the water's surface and narrowed his eyes. He started to walk over, getting closer with every step.
Tian Yao grabbed Yan Hui's hand and lightly wrote five words on her palm, "Kill it in one shot".
He said it so simply. Yan Hui sweatdropped. In this situation, she had to be subtle and not alert the other demons to this demon's death. Furthermore, she had to do this while holding her breath underwater.......
Yan Hui thought about it. She drew a Telepathy Technique sigil on Tian Yao's hand : "This seems difficult. If this doesn't go well, I'm going to knock you out and hand you over to plead for my life. I'm telling you right now, so you won't call me out later for not being righteous "
"......" Tian Yao lightly said: "Telling me counts as you being righteous?"
"At least I told you."
Without waiting for Tian Yao's response, Yan Hui stealthily condensed magic into her palm. Her body started to slowly heat up.
Tian Yao felt the person in his arms becoming hotter, burning hot, but he didn't let go. Contrarily, he held Yan Hui even tighter. He liked this boiling heat.
He was originally a dragon who favored Fire out of the Five Phases. His body was suppose to be the same scalding temperature as this girl. However, now he constantly felt like he was in ice. Living was suffering.
It was only when holding her, drinking her blood, that he could relax. Only then would he feel like living wasn't so painful.
