Zhong Han was somewhat lost. When Chi Ming said these things to Feng Fuling, the woman was extremely touched. After all, who didn't like being uniquely favored?
Seeing him like this, Qiao Ci felt like laughing, "I don't need you to sacrifice anything for me. I can protect you."
Hearing Qiao Ci say this, his head felt dizzy.
Protect himself?
Had she accepted him?
He looked at Qiao Ci in disbelief, only to see her meeting his gaze with a smile, "I want to eat something spicy for lunch..."
Zhong Han immediately nodded like a pecking chick, "Okay! Wait a moment, I'll go make it now."
Without any further concealment, he took out a scarf from his spatial storage, tied it on, and walked towards the side hall.
Qiao Ci followed curiously and saw that the side hall was fully equipped with pots, pans, bowls, and plates, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat.
And Zhong Han, like a handsome chef, looked seriously at the ingredients in his hands and began to cook not long after.
This gave Qiao Ci a feeling of peaceful, quiet time...

Meanwhile, Chang Yan was concerned. The Hengjian Sect, worried about Chang Yan and Li Chunxiang going alone, sent a few more people to accompany them.
The group rushed, and by the time they reached the slum where Chi Ming was, it seemed they were too late.
They could hear a woman's suppressed sobs coming from the room.
Chang Yan angrily kicked open the door. Chi Ming, still looking unfulfilled, got up and spat, "For you, I provoked that terrifying woman, and it turns out it wasn't your first time! Weren't you always crying out for Chang Yan, Chang Yan? You can go. Go find him."
Feng Fuling tearfully raised her tear-filled eyes, "You scoundrel! You're not Chi Ming at all, you and Qiao Ci are tricking me!"
"You dislike me for being ugly, right? I..." Hearing this, Chi Ming was about to slap her, but a powerful force came towards him. He was immediately sent flying to the ground, clutching his chest and looking at the newcomer with a hideous expression.
"Chang Yan!" Seeing an enemy, Chi Ming's face was wrinkled, and his eyes were full of hatred. He knew without asking who Feng Fuling had given her first time to.
"Master, save me~" Feng Fuling's eyes lit up, and the next moment she screamed heartbrokenly, "Why are you only coming now? Woo woo woo, why didn't you come sooner? Go, go, I don't want you to save me, woo woo woo..."
Such Feng Fuling only made Chang Yan feel more pained. At his signal, Li Chunxiang went to save Feng Fuling.
As for Chang Yan, he pointed his sword at Chi Ming and launched a fierce attack!
Chi Ming, after all, had been a Demon Lord, so he was prepared for this. The moment the sword reached him, he vanished from his spot.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed in the dilapidated space.
Li Chunxiang touched her face, looking at Feng Fuling in disbelief. After helping her get dressed, Feng Fuling turned and slapped her?
"Don't touch me, don't touch me!" Feng Fuling hugged herself with her arms, looking at Li Chunxiang with terrified eyes.
A flash of ruthlessness flickered in Li Chunxiang's eyes. She had never been slapped before. Before Chang Yan could come over, she directly slapped Feng Fuling to the ground.
She wasn't some innocent, guileless young girl. Playing tricks in front of her? She wouldn't fall for it at all!
Chang Yan quickly stepped forward, pulled Feng Fuling into his arms, and glared at Li Chunxiang, "What are you doing?!"
Feng Fuling, who had been so scared moments ago, tightly hugged Chang Yan's waist, burying her face in his chest. Occasionally, she would raise her eyes and look at Li Chunxiang with fear, as if Li Chunxiang, not Chi Ming, had violated her.
Seeing her pathetic state, Li Chunxiang was furious. For the first time, she spoke coldly to the blind Chang Yan, "She didn't hit me when I was helping her get dressed. After she was dressed, she took me by surprise and slapped me. What's wrong with me hitting back?"
"She just suffered a shock, can't you be considerate of her?" Chang Yan's brows were furrowed like a mountain range.
"It wasn't me who violated her. I kindly helped her get dressed, and she slapped me. Who is considerate of me?" Li Chunxiang finally saw Chang Yan clearly. After speaking, she left without looking back.
The other accompanying disciples were also bewildered. Li Elder was indeed not well-behaved just now. Any elder who was slapped by a disciple would retaliate, right?
However, they had only sent one person to follow Li Elder, while the others remained in place. But their gazes towards Feng Fuling were now filled with suspicion.
Others might not have seen clearly, but they had seen Feng Fuling's actions very clearly.
She willingly let Li Chunxiang help her get dressed. After seeing Chi Ming escape, she pretended to be frightened and slapped Li Chunxiang, but in Chang Yan's arms, she was docile.
In such a situation, shouldn't one feel more favorably towards women?
Chang Yan patted Feng Fuling's back with displeasure, gently comforting her, "It's alright, it's alright. It's all my fault, Master should have come sooner."
Feng Fuling cried out as if she couldn't bear the burden, "Woo woo woo, why are you only coming now? Woo woo woo, it's all your fault, why did you have to be with another woman that I saw, causing me to fall into Qiao Ci's trap! Qiao Ci, Qiao Ci, it's all her fault, woo woo woo, Master, you have to avenge me..."
"Qiao Ci? What's going on?" Chang Yan knew he shouldn't ask Feng Fuling such questions at this time, but seeing that she had brought it up, he quickly pressed for details.
His heart felt heavy and painful. He desperately needed an outlet.
He couldn't bear to be harsh on the woman he loved.
But towards Qiao Ci, whom he also detested, he would never show mercy!
Feng Fuling's eyes were full of hatred, and she choked out through gritted teeth, "I don't know why I ended up in the Demon Realm, and then I met Qiao Ci. She colluded with the Demon Lord and bestowed me to that ugly beggar. She wants me to live a life worse than death. She's so heartless, woo woo woo..."
"Master, please don't leave me again! I'm so scared, Master... Master..."
After speaking, Feng Fuling fell into a coma.
Chang Yan handed her over to a fellow disciple who had come with them and headed straight for the Demon Palace.
Seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly notified the elders of the Hengjian Sect, hoping they could provide reinforcements.
Feng Fuling, who was pretending to be unconscious, curled the corners of her lips slightly.
Very good. As long as Master was willing to avenge her, the entire Hengjian Sect and even the cultivation world would be her backing.
She wanted Qiao Ci to have a terrible end!
She wanted the Demon Lord to have a terrible end!
And that lying, dead beggar, that dirty thing Chi Ming, she would surely tear him to pieces and scatter his ashes!
She was too sad, and she wanted the entire Demon Realm to pay for her tragic fate!
Chang Yan arrived outside the Demon Palace and directly killed the guarding demon generals, "Qiao Ci, come out and die! What grudge do you have with Fuling that you still won't let her go? She was once your junior sister! I, this Venerable One, will purge the sect today and destroy you, you wicked creature!!!"
