The demon guards had to obey Xuan Yu's orders and retreated to both sides, looking at Yan Zhiqiao with vigilance and precaution.

Yan Zhiqiao looked calm and composed, but in everyone's eyes he was undoubtedly unfathomable.

In fact, she is already at the end of her strength.

The demon clan's skills were practiced over and over again, but as she and Xuan Yu fought, she could no longer suppress the raging demon power, which began to surge up again with great momentum.

She knew very well that she could not reveal any abnormality, otherwise she might not be able to leave the Demon Palace tonight, so she swallowed her mouth full of blood and gave Gui Ning a look.

After Gui Ning stood beside her, she took her out of the room.

The demon guards formed a circle and confronted her with weapons in hand, ready to take action.

But because Xuan Yu was tied up and floating behind the two of them, no one dared to act rashly.

Yan Zhiqiao walked forward and they slowly moved back.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After finally arriving outside the spacious palace, Yan Zhiqiao moved her fingertips slightly and Xuan Yu came in front of her.

In full view of everyone, a demonic aura wrapped around his neck.

"you…"

Seeing this, a demon guard in the fusion stage almost rushed over in a hurry.

Yan Zhiqiao glanced sideways, his gaze still calm but full of oppression.

Facing his fierce and sinister gaze, the powerful pressure of the Mahayana period emanated, making all the demon guards frightened.

"I'll say it again, get out of here."

The evil energy on his neck made Xuan Yu feel an unprecedented threat to his life.

The last time he felt like he was on the verge of death was because of the Demon Lord.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he stared at Yan Zhiqiao's delicate eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, the demonic energy on his neck tightened, and he could only roar hoarsely while enduring the severe pain.

"roll!"

The demon guards looked at each other, hesitated for a second, and then retreated further.

Yan Zhiqiao grabbed Gui Ning's wrist with his other hand, smashed Xuan Yu towards the three fusion stages, and immediately turned into a ball of demonic energy, carrying Gui Ning away from the Demon Palace.

The three strongest demon guards were stopped for a moment, and missed the best opportunity to stop Yan Zhiqiao.

By the time they brought people to chase after him, they were no longer able to catch up with Yan Zhiqiao's speed.

As soon as she left, the evil spirit on Xuan Yu did not dissipate immediately, but instead gathered together.

Just as he was freed and was helped up by the demon guards around him, demonic energy exploded in his chest.

It contained the powerful force of the early Mahayana stage, and instantly killed a group of Yuanying stage and Jindan stage demon guards around Xuan Yu.

He himself fell to the ground again, seriously injured, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

the other side.

Yan Zhiqiao took Gui Ning back to the courtyard in Hunyou City without stopping.

Seeing Nanhe who had been waiting for a long time, she pushed Gui Ning in front of him.

"Give him the antidote."

She looked at Nanhe again, her tone hurried and restrained.

"From today on, she is also my subordinate. I will contact you if there is anything. If there is nothing else, you don't have to do anything. Just find a way to earn spirit stones for me."

When Nan He heard this, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis and looked at Gui Ning with hostility.

This woman captured him and used him to threaten the master. It would be fine if she didn't die, but why can she still gain the master's favor?

Yan Zhiqiao didn't give him a chance to ask, he opened the teleportation array and walked in quickly.

"Owner!"

Nanhe's dissatisfied voice disappeared behind him.

After a dizzying moment, Yan Zhiqiao returned to the small courtyard in the world of cultivation.

The deserted environment finally made her, who was at the end of her strength, unable to hold back any longer, and gulps of blood spurted out on her veil.

She also staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

The demonic power was so rampantly violent that it seemed like millions of sharp blades, twisting and cutting her chest and tendons over and over again, trying to kill her.

Yan Zhiqiao was actually quite able to endure pain, but this time she reached her critical point.

She fainted from the pain and soon woke up again.

This goes on and on, and it's so painful.

Finally, there was a flash of red light, and only a dark blue dress and a small monster the size of a palm were left on the ground.

----

"Snapped--"

When he regained consciousness, Yan Zhiqiao was awakened by a slap in the face with water.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and found herself trapped in a birdcage.

The wet hair stuck to her body and she felt very uncomfortable. She tried to prop up her limbs and shake her body, but she was hit by a sharp pain.

"Well--"

The tiny sound brought out a warm and pleasant male voice.

"Little monster, you finally woke up."

Yan Zhiqiao's eyes flashed, and he looked up vigilantly in the direction of the sound, enduring the pain.

She seemed to be in a place...

A bathing pool?

Two meters away, a man in a bamboo green robe was lying on the edge of the bathtub, his chin resting on his left arm, looking at her with a smile.

He was very handsome, with soft features, clear contours, and a smile hidden in his eyebrows. When he smiled, it seemed as if tiny rays of light were falling from his dark eyes.

Such a fresh and handsome appearance can easily attract the favor of others.

Ke Yanzhi Qiao was unmoved and his eyes fell on the huge fish tail floating on the water behind him.

The smooth and flexible fish tail is ice blue, and the layered scales are delicate, like a fine work of art, sparkling with crystal water light in the well-lit bathroom.

Mermaid...

No, Mermaid?

Yan Zhiqiao's brain rarely worked for a few seconds.

When she traveled through the book, the system didn't say that there were mermaids in this world!

The water that I just splashed on her to wake her up...

Perhaps it was because Yan Zhiqiao's gaze was too direct and naked, the man's expression showed a bit of discomfort, and the ice-blue fish tail sank into the water.

"cough."

He coughed hard and finally regained Yan Zhiqiao's attention.

"Ow?"

who are you?

The man listened to her soft cry, a hint of doubt showing on his handsome face.

"I do not understand."

Yan Zhiqiao: “…”

"After you demons return to your original form, can't you talk?"

Yan Zhiqiao was silent for a moment. She was not a pure demon.

He wanted to change back to human form, but his internal injuries had not healed, so he couldn't.

She wanted to heal her wounds, but the Qiankun bag containing the elixir was not with her. She didn't dare to use her magic energy, and her demonic power had no reaction and could not be used for the time being. She only had the meager spiritual power of the foundation-building period left.

The problem is not big.

Seeing that he could not communicate with the merman, Yan Zhiqiao simply lay back down, mobilized his spiritual power and began to heal his wounds.

Since the spiritual power is low, the healing speed is naturally slow.

The man got no response, and a hint of doubt appeared in his clear eyes.

"Little monster?"

Yan Zhiqiao raised his eyes and glanced at him calmly.

The demon and the fish met each other's eyes from a distance, and the man smiled shyly at her again.

"My name is Huaixi, what's your name?"

"Ow..."

Yan Zhiqiao.

"Ouch?"

Huaixi looked confused.

"Still don't understand."

Yan Zhiqiao: “…”

Then why are you asking?

Seeing his innocent look without any false expression, Yan Zhiqiao lowered his guard against him a little.

She didn't know what the situation was like here, so she had to heal her wounds and recover her human form quickly.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhiqiao closed his eyes and ignored Huaixi.
