Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Mu Yun finally carried Jiang Tingwan all the way back to the inn. When they walked into the courtyard, Wen Bumian was gone.

He looked at the dark room upstairs, then looked at Jiang Tingwan in his arms, and a layer of ink appeared in his eyes.

He went upstairs, entered the room, put her on the bed, and stared at her for a long time.

Although she looked like she was sleeping soundly, the suspicion in Mu Yunzhong's eyes had not subsided. He immediately gathered spiritual power with two fingers, turned his gesture, raised his hand close to his forehead, and closed his eyes. A ray of blue-white light came out from his forehead and entered Jiang Tingwan's forehead.

His spiritual consciousness entered Jiang Tingwan's body, trying to find out why she was sleeping soundly.

It was foggy and he couldn't see anything inside. The fog around him just stayed quietly in the air, and then seeped into Mu Yunzhong's body when he passed by. Somehow, he felt that Jiang Tingwan's inner world was stagnant, like a stagnation of time.

More importantly, in the deepest part of the fog, he sensed a faint spiritual energy that was unusually familiar.

Driven by curiosity, he walked towards the depths little by little. His steps gradually became heavier. The water vapor blocking his way turned into hard solids, blocking his progress.

So he could only transform his spiritual consciousness into strands, pass through the gaps in the water vapor, and head towards the familiar spiritual energy.

He saw a white figure sitting cross-legged with his head lowered and drooped.

He wanted to get closer, so he sped up, but just when he was about to see clearly, a red light flashed in front of him, and every wisp of spiritual consciousness he had decomposed was knocked out at the same time.

Mu Yunzhong's consciousness returned to his body, but because of the counterattack of the red light, he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision began to blur, and then turned dark, and he fell beside Jiang Tingwan.

“That was a close call!” A red light flashed in the room, and Sui Jiu, sweating profusely, appeared in front of Mu Yunzhong. She sat down on the bedside of Jiang Tingwan as if she was extremely tired, and looked at Mu Yunzhong on the ground, saying, “You almost found me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sui Jiu fell on Jiang Tingwan and turned back into a little red fox.

The early morning sunlight shone into the room through the window and moved slowly onto the bed.

When Jiang Tingwan was awakened by the sun, she felt her chest heaviness, her limbs numbness, and a feeling of sleep paralysis. She could only struggle to open her eyes, and sat up with a gasp. A furry thing rolled around in her arms.

Jiang Tingwan was so scared that he threw it away, and it hit Mu Yunzhong on the ground.

“Ah…it hurts so much!”

Sui Jiu called out subconsciously, and Mu Yun on the ground was finally woken up by the impact.

Jiang Tingwan glanced back and forth several times, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Why are these two people sleeping in her room?

What’s more important is that when Mu Yun finally opened his eyes, he saw the little fox crawling up.

Sui Jiu, who had just woken up, happened to meet the eyes of Mu Yunzhong lying on the ground. After realizing that he had seen him, he looked towards Jiang Tingwan lying on the bed.

"How will you be here?"

Jiang Tingwan quickly got off the bed, helped Mu Yunzhong up, and saw the blood on the ground, "Are you injured?"

Mu Yun finally avoided her gaze. He didn't know how to explain what happened last night, so he could only sit down and regulate his breathing.

Suijiu didn't expect that she would be concerned about Mu Yunzhong first, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, look at me too!"

Jiang Tingwan heard the sound and picked up the little fox again.

Jiang Tingwan: What’s wrong with you again?

Jiang Tingwan asked in his heart.

Suijiu: Are you still asking? If it weren't for me last night, your identity would have been exposed!

Jiang Tingwan: What did he do?

Sui Jiu: He actually dared to use his spiritual sense to enter your heart and explore your consciousness. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have discovered Bai Wangshu sleeping in your body.

Jiang Tingwan didn't react for a moment: Wait a minute, Bai Wangshu is still inside the body?

Sui Jiu: I never said she was gone. It’s just that her consciousness is about to disappear and she is sleeping inside my body now.

Jiang Tingwan asked again: What happened to you? How did you reveal yourself? And he saw you.

Upon hearing this, Sui Jiu looked aggrieved.

Sui Jiu: It was all for the purpose of protecting your identity. Because I attacked Mu Yunzhong directly, I was injured by the backlash and fell out of your sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiang Tingwan was surprised: Can the system fall out?

Jiang Tingwan received a lot of information early in the morning, which made it difficult for her to digest.

Sui Jiu: We are only responsible for supervising the host's behavior. You must not use your own power to directly contact the people in this world, otherwise you will suffer backlash. The power I lent you before was just a small blow, but now you are directly facing Mu Yunzhong in the transformation stage, so the backlash will be even stronger.

Although Sui Jiu was still responding to Jiang Tingwan's words clearly and coherently, his whole body was lying in Jiang Tingwan's arms.

Jiang Tingwan said with concern: So, you broke the rules for my sake?

Sui Jiu insisted: It’s not all for you. I also don’t want my two missions to end in failure.

Jiang Tingwan was even more moved after hearing this: Good Jiu, I will never say you are useless again.

She made the promise solemnly, tears almost falling from her eyes, and kissed Sui Jiu hard.

Suijiu dodged her saliva attack with a look of disgust, but his dodge was ineffective.

As he spoke, Mu Yunzhong had finished regulating his breathing, and when he opened his eyes he saw this scene.

When Jiang Tingwan saw him wake up, he carried Sui Jiu and went to see him, looking concerned.

"How are you?"

He must have been seriously injured to have been able to sleep in her room all night.

Mu Yun finally put down his legs, covered his chest and sat on the edge of the bed. He did not look into Jiang Tingwan's eyes, but instead fixed his gaze on the little fox in her arms.

He was now almost certain that the reason why he and Qinglan had not been able to find out what was going on in Jiang Tingwan's room after Jiang Tingwan had dispersed his power was because of this little fox.

It was also this kind of little fox that attacked him in his sea of ​​consciousness last night. He didn't even know when Jiang Tingwan raised a spirit beast.

Seeing that Mu Yunzhong was still looking at Sui Jiu, Jiang Tingwan subconsciously explained, "That... this is a little fox I fed before. I didn't expect it to follow me all the way here."

Jiang Tingwan was obviously feeling guilty, so he could only change the subject and asked, "By the way, Master, I haven't asked you yet, why did you fall in my room?"

Mu Yunzhong's eyebrows flickered slightly, and he replied: "Master suddenly became sleepy last night, and I felt something was wrong, so I used some of my spiritual consciousness to check inside Master's body, but I didn't expect to be knocked out by a red light."

As he spoke, he looked at the little fox in Jiang Tingwan's arms again, "Now that I think about it, it should be this little fox."

He said this deliberately, with obvious temptation in his tone.

Jiang Tingwan didn't expect him to be so frank. Instead, she became the one who was hiding something. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I had raised it for a while before, and it thought I was its master. Last night, it must have thought that you were going to do something to its master, and it was eager to protect its master, so it attacked you. Look at what this has caused..."

Jiang Tingwan said this with an awkward smile.

Mu Yunzhong asked doubtfully, "How come I never knew that Master had raised a spirit beast?"

"Master has lived for more than a hundred years, so there are always things you don't know. This little fox doesn't always stay by your side, but sometimes comes to see you." Jiang Tingwan acted like an elder and evaded the question, "Well, since fighting is the beginning of friendship, you two have met before. I will formally introduce you to each other. Its name is Suijiu, and you can also call it Jiu."

After that, he introduced Mu Yunzhong to Sui Jiu in his arms, "This is my apprentice, Mu Yunzhong. Now you can get to know him!"

Jiang Tingwan seemed to be introducing his pet. He took Mu Yunzhong's hand and put it on Jiu's head. "Feel it. Is it very well behaved?"

She had a smile on her face and a bright look, as if she was really introducing them to each other. She successfully diverted Mu Yunzhong's attention, making him suddenly feel that it didn't matter even if Jiang Tingwan had some secrets.

As long as I am still by her side, she can still stand in front of me.

He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and when he touched the furry head, he touched it unconsciously.

"Hey! You really treat me as a pet!" Ah Jiu in his arms rolled his eyes, "Take your stinky paws away!"

Jiang Tingwan gritted his teeth and smiled: Be good! It will pass if you bear with it.
