Nie Li couldnât help being amused at Xiao Yuâs sulky attitude. He never expected the situation to turn out like this. Heâd always thought of Xiao Yu as a man, who knew that she had hidden the truth so well.
It was probably related to the inscription patterns on her chest.
Nie Li looked at Xiao Yu and asked, âHow are your wounds?â
The scenes from earlier flashed across Xiao Yuâs mind. She turned away with with her face boiling.
âIâm fine,â Xiao Yu answered quietly.
âThatâs good!â Nie Li nodded, âSince your wounds are already healed, then letâs go back!â
âAlright,â Xiao Yu replied.
Just as Nie Li stood up and prepared to leave, several powerful auras swooped in their direction.
âCareful!â Nie Li immediately pulled Xiao Yu by the hand and hid in the nearby forest. Then, he dipped his right hand in a little demon blood and quickly wrote down a few inscription patterns. As he wrote them, he pointed at Xiao Yuâs chest.
âLecher!â Xiao Yuâs face was ashen. Nie Li had already taken advantage of her earlier. Now, he wanted to do it again?
With a grave expression, Nie Li grabbed Xiao Yuâs wrist with his left hand, covered her mouth with his right, and softly growled in her ear, âBe quiet, unless you want to die!â
Nie Li was hugging her from behind, and she couldnât break free, no matter how much she struggled. Shame crossed her face. She could only stay in that position, with Nie Li hugging her from behind as that peculiar feeling made her cheeks boil.
Nie Li and Xiao Yu peered out from behind a tree while holding their breaths. They knew that they were not in a position to confront the owners of those powerful auras. As for whether Nie Liâs inscription patterns could successfully conceal them from the other party, Nie Li was still unsure.
They spent so much effort just to survive up until now. Itâd be a waste to be killed right then and there.
Thanks to Xiao Yuâs struggling, Nie Li was distinctly aware of her perky, smooth, and soft rear that was currently pressed against his leg. He suddenly remembered events from back in the Nether Realm, when they explored the Death Godâs tomb.
Back then, Nie Li had thought that Xiao Yu was a male; therefore, he hadnât had much of a reaction. But right now, Nie Li couldnât help secretly cursing himself.
In all honestly, Xiao Yu was still heart-stoppingly gorgeous, even though she was dressed in menâs clothes.
Nie Li had to restrain himself as he stared into the distance.
Some distance away from their hiding spot, two people landed on a patch of grass.
These two experts were of some other race: one had a body covered in fur, while the other had scarlet-red ears. Both were clearly experts of some demon clan.
âThere were obviously two auras here just a short while ago. Where could theyâve escaped to?â
âThose two auras shouldnât have any connections with that kid. That guyâs aura wasnât so weak!â
The two demon clan experts conversed with each other.
They seemed to be pursuing someone.
âThat kid killed so many of our men! If I donât kill him myself, Iâll never be able to extinguish the hatred in my heart!â one of the demon clan experts said as he grounded his teeth and scanned his surroundings.
Theyâd clearly sensed two weak auras just now, so theyâd chased after them. But why couldnât they sense them anymore? It should be impossible for such weak auras to escape their senses!
The two demon clan experts briefly searched their surroundings.
Only now did Xiao Yu understand what was going on. So Nie Li had sensed those two demon clan experts, while she hadnât. Thatâs why heâd acted like that. Although her current posture with Nie Li was very ambiguous, Xiao Yu held her breath and didnât dare to move.
Nie Li realised that one of the experts had signs of approaching in their direction, and his heart rate sped up a little. According to his perceptions, those two should be Heavenly Axis Realm experts, at the very least. If they got within ten meters or so, theyâd be able to break the concealment inscriptions and discover Nie Li and Xiao Yu.
If that happened, itâd be an impossible fight with Nie Li and Xiao Yuâs strength. Those two Heavenly Axis Realm experts could easily kill them!
The demon clan expert drew closer to Nie Li and Xiao Yu, but he suddenly stopped and stared into the distance.
âOver there!â An expression of joy crossed that demon clan expertâs eyes.
*Woosh!* *Woosh!*
The two figures flew away at frightening speeds.
Once the two demon clan experts left, Nie Li let out a breath of relief.
âLet me go already!â Xiao Yu struggled and complained in a soft voice. The experiences today ran through her mind again. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into and never come back out.
Nie Li released Xiao Yu and said, âThe situation was urgent. I really didnât have an alternative!â
Xiao Yu glanced at him with a depressed attitude. Of course she knew that Nie Li hadnât done it one purpose; however, there was no way she could just not mind it.
âThose two demon clan experts are gone, but this place still isnât safe. We should leave quickly!â Nie Li said. He turned around to leave, and received a scare when he found himself face-to-face with someone else.
Nie Li observed the other party. It was a child. Aside from a pair of sharp and furry ears, all his other features were human-like. He appeared thirteen or fourteen years-old and carried himself elegantly.
But even if he looked like he was thirteen or fourteen, it was highly possible that he was an ancient monster whoâd lived for thousands of years!
The child blinked and examined Nie Li and Xiao Yu with clear eyes.
Nie Li didnât know what the other party was intending to do, so he put on a blank face and stretched his senses out on full alert. He couldnât tell exactly how strong his opponent was, but he knew that this guy was stronger than those two demon clan experts from earlier!
This guy had approached within a few meters, and Nie Li hadnât noticed at all. If he wanted to kill them, itâd be no effort at all!
âWhich divine sect are you two from? The Divine Feathers Sect? Or the Skyblaze Sect?â He looked at Nie Li and Xiao Yu and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Nie Li looked at him and asked, âWho are you?â
He still couldnât understand the other partyâs intentions.
âMy name is Wu Yazi. Iâm already over eighty years-old. That means that you two should address me as âgrandfatherâ. I asked you a question. Not only did you not answer, but you turned around and asked me a question instead?â Wu Yazi said, puffing his chest as he announced his age.
Nie Li smiled inwardly at Wu Yaziâs words. This guy was only a little over eighty years old; as far as the demon clans were concerned, he was still just a brat. However, most demon clan experts his age wouldnât have gained their spiritual wisdoms yet; meanwhile, this Wu Yazi possessed quite a high one. At least Wu Yaziâs tone didnât contain any malice. Either way, if Wu Yazi had wanted to kill them, theyâd already be dead.
âYou demon clan people arenât the same as us, humans. An eighty year-old demon is still just a kid!â Nie Li shrugged.
Wu Yazi was clearly rather annoyed by that, as his expression turned rather stern. âArenât you two just kids too? Arenât you worried that Iâll kill you? After all, you two are just Heavenly Fate Realm experts!â
