“Ah~~”
“So delicious.”
“This dark demon is indeed as delicious as the legends say.”
“It was worth all the effort I spent to lure you out.”
After swallowing the dark demon, Song Yun looked intoxicated. Her little expression was just like someone who had enjoyed a lavish meal.
“Monster, you are not human, you are a monster!!!”
Yin Tianchou, who had witnessed everything with his own eyes, could no longer remain calm.
Although he had committed all sorts of evil deeds and was far from a decent person, he had a powerful master, so his knowledge and experience were still considerable.
Because of that, he had long heard about the dark demon.
The origins of the dark demon were unknown, and its strength was hard to gauge.
But one thing was certain: apart from being extremely dangerous, the dark demon itself was highly poisonous.
The dark demon could transform into a gaseous flame form. If that gas was inhaled, it would cause instant death, let alone swallowing the dark demon whole.
Yet the girl before him had not only swallowed it, but was clearly enjoying it.
Moreover, from what she had just said, it was obvious she had come for the dark demon, not the Holy Healing Pearl.
In other words, she had taken the Holy Healing Pearl simply to use it as bait to draw out the dark demon.
“Speaking of which, I really must thank you.”
“I know quite a lot about the Holy Healing Pearl, but I am not particularly familiar with the dark demon. I only heard that once someone obtains the Holy Healing Pearl, the dark demon will appear.”
“If it weren’t for you, I might have had to rack my brains to lure it out.”
“So, how should I thank you?”
Song Yun walked towards Yin Tianchou with a sweet smile.
She had already returned to her original appearance.
Those crescent-moon eyes, that pure face, that sweet smile, how enchanting they were.
But seeing Song Yun approach like this, Yin Tianchou was so terrified he nearly lost control of his bowels.
“Miss, if you truly wish to thank me, why not let me go?”
Yin Tianchou said with a bitter smile.
“Let you go? How could I do that? Not only did you call me delicious, you also helped me draw out the dark demon. You could be considered my benefactor. I should repay you properly.”
As Song Yun spoke, her crescent eyes opened wide. Blood-red pupils appeared once more, and sharp fangs emerged from her mouth.
Though the corners of her mouth still curved in a smile, that smile was now utterly terrifying.
Arghhh—
Immediately afterwards, Yin Tianchou let out a heart-rending scream.
The scream continued for quite some time.
When it finally stopped, Song Yun had returned to her normal appearance, but Yin Tianchou had vanished completely. Only the silver bowl remained, now resting in Song Yun’s hand.
“Disgusting. Pah.”
Song Yun spat towards the spot where Yin Tianchou had been, then took the silver bowl and walked over to Chu Feng. She placed it back in his arms, exactly where it had been before.
After doing all this, Song Yun opened her small mouth and gently blew towards Chu Feng.
A fragrant breeze brushed past, and Chu Feng, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
“Girl, are you alright?”
As soon as he woke, Chu Feng quickly sat up and examined Song Yun closely.
“I’m fine. Brother Chu Feng, why do you look like that?”
Song Yun asked.
“We escaped?”
Chu Feng looked around and confirmed they had survived the ordeal. They were back in a safe area, having escaped the world inside the Holy Healing Pearl.
“Not only did we escape, we also obtained the Holy Healing Pearl.”
“It’s all thanks to you.”
“Brother Chu Feng, don’t you remember?”
Song Yun’s beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
That look made even Chu Feng begin to doubt himself.
“You mean I helped you get the Holy Healing Pearl?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Of course it was you. After I entered the world of the Holy Healing Pearl, I was attacked and became dazed. I vaguely saw you come in, then I passed out.”
“When I woke up, we were already back, and the Holy Healing Pearl was in our hands.”
Song Yun said.
“We got the Holy Healing Pearl?”
“What does it look like? Let me see.”
Chu Feng asked.
“It’s just an ordinary bead. I already ate it.”
Song Yun replied.
“You ate it already? How do you feel?”
Chu Feng asked with concern.
After all, the reason they had come here was to help Song Yun obtain the Holy Healing Pearl.
If it was truly in their possession, then Chu Feng’s mission was complete.
“It feels great. I think my illness is no longer a problem. This is all thanks to you, Brother Chu Feng. How should I ever repay you?”
“A life-saving favour like this, shouldn’t it be repaid by offering myself in marriage?”
Song Yun blinked her big eyes and stared at Chu Feng with a smile.
“Offer yourself in marriage, my foot. You little brat who hasn’t even grown up yet, what nonsense is in that head of yours?”
Chu Feng stood up and scanned the surroundings again, as if searching for clues, but found nothing.
The only thing he could confirm was that the withered Holy Healing Pearl no longer posed any threat.
He looked back at Song Yun. “Girl, are you really alright now?”
“I’m fine. The Holy Healing Pearl was very effective.”
“But Brother Chu Feng, do you really remember nothing?”
Song Yun asked, pretending to be puzzled.
“I don’t remember. I only recall entering and being attacked, then falling unconscious.”
Chu Feng frowned deeply, trying hard to recall whether he had done anything later.
But no matter how he tried, he could not remember. His memory stopped at the moment he was attacked and his life hung by a thread.
“By the way, Brother Chu Feng, just now a faint light came from your arms, and a strange aura appeared for a brief moment.”
“Is there some clue in your arms?”
Song Yun said.
“My arms?”
Chu Feng reached into his robes but found only the silver bowl he had hidden earlier.
He had kept the silver bowl close to his body rather than in his Cosmos Sack because he had been studying it, trying to figure out how to sever its connection to Yin Tianchou.
He knew the silver bowl was a treasure and wanted it for himself, but unfortunately he had not studied it long enough, and in his view severing the link was not easy.
“This feeling?”
“Could it be?”
Yet when Chu Feng touched the silver bowl, he was shocked.
He discovered in astonishment that Yin Tianchou’s aura was completely gone from the bowl. The contract between Yin Tianchou and the silver bowl had been undone!!!
But Chu Feng had clearly done nothing. How had the contract been broken?
There were only two possibilities.
Either Yin Tianchou had voluntarily severed the contract, which would cause him severe harm.
Or Yin Tianchou was dead.
Given the current situation, the second possibility seemed far more likely.
But in a place like this, how could Yin Tianchou have died?
Unless he had encountered a genius from the Gongsun family and been killed by them.
Otherwise, Chu Feng could not imagine why Yin Tianchou would suddenly die.
Even with this guess, Chu Feng still felt many unanswered questions.
Yin Tianchou did not seem stupid. He would not recklessly provoke a genius from the Gongsun family.
“Am I dreaming?”
Chu Feng began to doubt himself.
Whether it was escaping from the world of the Holy Healing Pearl or the severing of the contract between the silver bowl and Yin Tianchou, both were clearly connected to him, yet he had done nothing.
Either he had truly lost his memory, or something had happened that he knew nothing about.
Thus, Chu Feng turned his gaze towards Song Yun beside him.
“Brother Chu Feng, why are you looking at me like that?”
Song Yun blinked her big eyes at him.
“Nothing. I just feel a bit dizzy, as if I’m not fully awake.”
Chu Feng shook his head.
He had originally suspected Song Yun.
But looking at her innocent and harmless appearance, Chu Feng felt he was probably overthinking it.
