"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang."
"Bang bang bang bang."
"Peng peng peng."
A series of dull thuds sounded!
Murong Xue beat the man until he spat blood repeatedly!
"Bang!"
Finally, the man was sent flying by a palm strike from Murong Xue, collapsing unconscious on the ground. Before losing consciousness, he shouted with unwillingness, "You... you're at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment! How can you possibly have the strength of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!"
"Heh, is that strange?" Murong Xue snorted coldly and said, "Why can't I cultivate so quickly?"
"Don't you think I'm more suited to be the Demon King than you?"
"The entire Tian Yuan Continent is looking for the demon race, and you are at your most dangerous moment! That's why I chose to cooperate with you! Do you think I was willing to be an ordinary guard in the Demon Race?" Murong Xue said mockingly.
"Whether you admit it or not, this matter is no longer up to you!"
"I'm taking you to see the King now!" the man said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Murong Xue snorted, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see the Demon King whenever you want?"
"Do you know that your current behavior is illegal?"
"So what if it's illegal? Do you dare to kill me?"
"Do you dare?"
"Hahahaha." Hearing Murong Xue's words, the man threw his head back and laughed, "Little girl, I truly admire you! Your courage makes me look at you with new eyes!"
"If I really wanted to kill you, you would already be a corpse, how could you be standing here talking so peacefully!" Murong Xue snorted coldly and said.
The man's expression stiffened, and he stopped talking.
He didn't expect Murong Xue to have the audacity to retort!
She truly is the reincarnation of the Empress, with such spirit!
He considered himself exceptionally intelligent, yet he couldn't compare to a mere immature girl!
"Do you really want to return to the Demon Race with me?" the man asked.
Murong Xue nodded, "Of course! If I don't go to the Demon Realm with you, should I go to the Human Realm?"
"Good! If that's the case, then I won't stop you! However, if you dare to break your oath, you should know the consequences better than I do!"
"I will naturally abide by the agreement! I, Murong Xue, keep my word. Since I promised to help you, I will help you and will never go back on my word!" Murong Xue snorted coldly, "But if you lie to me, then you'd better prepare to die!"
"Don't worry, as long as you obediently come with me, I won't harm your friends and family!"
"Hmph... do you think I'll believe you?" Murong Xue snorted coldly and said.
"Alright then! If that's the case, then I have nothing more to say!"
"You may leave!" Murong Xue snorted coldly and waved her hand, signaling the man to leave!
The man snorted coldly, then quickly flashed and disappeared from the room.
As soon as the man left, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, I bought you clothes and food, hurry and put them on!" Xiao Lan knocked on the door and said.
Hearing this, Murong Xue's mouth twitched, "How did you know I was here?"
"Uh... Miss, please don't misunderstand! I saw the light on in this room next door, so I guessed you must be here!"
"Oh... is that so! Then come in!"
"Yes!" Xiao Lan pushed the door open and entered the room.
Inside the room, there were several sets of women's clothing.
"Miss, hurry and change your clothes, and let's leave as soon as you're done!"
"Okay!" Murong Xue nodded and walked behind a screen.
"Hiss..."
On the screen, there were drawings of many strange-looking beasts. Each beast was lifelike, as if it were alive!
Looking at the beast patterns on the screen, Murong Xue suddenly froze.
The appearance of the beasts...
was very similar to Xiao Yifeng!
Moreover, these beasts were all burly and tall, looking very terrifying.
Murong Xue's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
For some reason, she felt that these beasts were very familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before!
Could it be...
these patterns were related to Xiao Yifeng?
Was this a special kind of curse? Or...
A terrible thought suddenly crossed Murong Xue's mind.
This thought made her whole body tremble, her heart beating violently, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Huff."
Murong Xue took a deep breath, suppressing the strangeness in her heart.
She knew she shouldn't have such thoughts. After all, Xiao Yifeng was already dead, how could he still be alive?
However...
his appearance was just too similar to Xiao Yifeng!
Even though so much time had passed, she could still remember that face, those eyes...
It was a feeling of extreme familiarity!
Murong Xue picked up a dress and put it on, then took out another and put it on.
"This dress is so beautiful!"
Murong Xue admired herself in the mirror as she put on the clothes, her eyes filled with joy.
"This one, this one, this one, and this one! And this one, these few... " Murong Xue kept changing clothes, finally appearing in the room wearing five or six outfits.
"Wow, I'm finding that the more I wear, the more beautiful I become!" Murong Xue looked at her pretty face in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm simply stunning!"
Murong Xue looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, then chose a few more sets and changed into all of them.
These dresses were very comfortable to wear, but for Murong Xue, they still made her look too thin. Wearing them, she couldn't support the weight of the clothes at all.
"Miss! Let me help you tie up your hair!"
"Okay!" Murong Xue nodded gently.
On the dressing table were two wooden combs and two silver hairpins.
Xiao Lan picked up one of the silver hairpins and inserted it into Murong Xue's dark, lustrous hair, gently twisting it.
Murong Xue squinted her eyes, looking at herself in the mirror, and mused, "Am I really that beautiful now? I'm even becoming narcissistic!"
"Oh my god!"
Murong Xue looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, "I'm actually this beautiful? I've become even more captivating than before!"
"Tsk tsk, dressed up like this, it's quite good, very good!"
"I will definitely become a beauty in the future!"
"Mhm, mhm! As expected of the woman this Venerable one has chosen! She's just beautiful!"
In a certain space, the spirit of a small sapling let out an excited voice, constantly praising Murong Xue's beauty.
"Little sapling, stop chattering! I know I'm beautiful, but you've been inside me all these years and haven't been out. You haven't seen anyone outside, so how do you know I'm beautiful?" Murong Xue pouted and said.
"Hehe, little Xue'er, I won't explain these things! Anyway, I absolutely won't tell you who my master is, or you'll be in trouble!"
"Oh, I don't care. If you don't tell me, I'll make you stay on the tree forever and not come down. I don't mind!"
"You dare!"
The little sapling glared at Murong Xue, roaring angrily.
Murong Xue shrugged, appearing indifferent, "Whatever, I won't change my mind no matter what you say!"
"I am your master, you must obey me!"
"Pfft!" Murong Xue rolled her eyes and said, "With your current strength, I can't even defeat you. How can I expect you to protect me?"
"If you truly want to repay my kindness, then quickly improve your strength, find an opportunity to go out, and find an opportunity to kill that Xiao Yifeng!"
The little sapling was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay!"
"Little Xue'er, I will cultivate diligently and strive to recover my peak strength as soon as possible!"
"Then I'll take you out!"
"Alright!" Murong Xue nodded.
She knew that her current strength was still too weak, and she needed to constantly improve her strength to have hope of getting out.
