If Ciel had not reacted quickly and pulled Beelzebub away from the scene, she might have been unrecognizable like a target after the rain of arrows.

They quickly returned to where they were before and gathered. Ye Xi had been waiting there for a long time.

What is certain at the moment is that the goblins did not catch up, otherwise they would have to run for a while longer.

"How are you?" Ye Xi asked.

"I'm fine, thanks to Charles' timely appearance, who pulled me out of the hail of arrows."

Beelzebub and Ye Xi looked at Ciel together, and suddenly found that her face looked a little ugly, with sweat on her cheeks.

"What’s wrong with you?!"

Beelzebub hurried forward to support Charles. Ye Xi discovered that there was an arrow stuck in Charles' right arm, which had penetrated directly into the flesh and was bleeding.

"She was shot by an arrow, and it went in quite deep."

"But it won't cause fatal damage, it will just hurt a little."

"Why does it sound like nothing's wrong? It's already penetrated the flesh, isn't that serious enough?"

Ye Xi glanced coldly at Xiaer's arm, but could not rule out the possibility that the arrow was poisoned.

But given the goblins' intelligence, this is unlikely to happen.

The reason for saying this is that the injured person was Ciel, and Ye Xi and Beelzebub did not feel any pain at all.

"Pull it out."

"what?"

Ye Xi came to Xia Er's side, prepared bandages and disinfectant, as well as a bottle containing an unknown liquid.

"Should I just pull it out? Wouldn't that be painful?"

"But besides this method, can you think of any other method so far?"

"The arrow has a barb on the end, and pulling it out directly might injure the skin."

"So I need to slow down."

Charles's instinctive reaction was to oppose this method. If it was just for a moment, the pain caused by the skin and flesh turning outward would be unbearable.

However, in order to prevent wound infection, it is best to treat it in time.

Ye Xi was well prepared. The other bottle actually contained anesthetic. After all, she couldn't guarantee that Charles wouldn't scream in pain.

"Char, have you ever been hurt before?"

"It happened a few times, but it's very common and nothing to be afraid of."

Ye Xi chuckled softly upon hearing this, then opened the bottle of anesthetic.

Beelzebub put Ciel under a tree and they noticed the anesthetic in Ye Xi's hand and looked puzzled.

"I'm about to start pulling it out, so please be patient."

Ciel nodded, seemingly not afraid, but the trembling in her body denied what she was thinking in her heart.

"I'm with you, don't be afraid."

Beelzebub was comforting Charles on the side, and Ye Xi once again had a new impression of this demon king.

From a certain perspective, this unforgivable demon king also has the warmest side. Perhaps it is because of Charles' careful care for her that this contrasting side is revealed.

Ye Xi gently applied the anesthetic on the edge of the wound, and Xia immediately felt a coolness spreading across his skin.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Ye Xi grabbed the arrow and shook it a few times.

"Does it hurt?"

"There was no pain, but there was no feeling either."

"It seems the anesthetic has taken effect. Now we can just pull it out."

Charles bit his lip slightly and watched quietly as Ye Xi's hand slowly pulled out the arrow.

"Does it hurt?" Beelzebub asked.

"A little, but it's bearable."

Ye Xi's technique was very steady. The entire arrow was pulled out in a straight line. Until the barb at the end tore through the skin, Charles finally couldn't help but scream.

“Ouch! It hurts…”

As Ye Xi expected, the arrow had indeed penetrated a little deep, and it started bleeding after it was pulled out.

First, wipe the blood off, then disinfect, and finally wrap it with a bandage to fix it. It's clean and neat, and done in one step.

"Okay, that's it."

"You two are just treating a wound, do you really need to hold hands?"

Ye Xi stood up and clapped his hands. He happened to see Beelzebub and Ciel holding their left hands tightly together.

"Huh? When did it start?"

"Excuse me......"

The two men quickly let go of each other upon seeing this, and although Charles felt that this was nothing, he didn't think it was a big deal.

On the other hand, Beelzebub blushed and scratched the back of her head, as if her previous action was a shameful thing for her.

"She grabbed it suddenly, which means she was scared."

"No, I haven't. I've been rubbing against you since you put me under the tree."

Ye Xi stood aside and listened silently to their arguments. He didn't say anything, but he knew everything in his heart.

They were supposed to be enemies at first, but as they spent more time together, they naturally developed feelings for each other.

Although three days was not a long time, the two of them basically interacted with each other every moment and began to understand each other, so the previous bad relationship was wiped out.

"This is really troublesome. Plan A failed, so we need to formulate a new one."

The three of them began to find the topic again. This failure proved that Beelzebub had indeed lost the recognition and admiration of the goblins.

They even started to kill people, which was a big blow to Beelzebub.

After all, from the moment Beelzebub was exposed, it took only three days for the news to spread throughout the entire Demon King's Castle.

"I remember the last time I was wandering around the city, I noticed that the monsters' daily lives were slightly similar to humans'."

"Monsters are divided into different levels. Only monsters that understand common languages can live in the Demon King's Castle."

"After all, in the past, the question of whether demons could live together with other races remained unanswered."

"Thus, the Demon King's Castle was born. They gained a new living environment and habits, and their lives were no longer so miserable. After all, other races had taken advantage of the demons many times."

Speaking of this, Ye Xi suddenly realized one thing, that is the safety system.

Assuming that monsters learn to live like humans as Beelzebub says, then good and evil will also exist.

"Then we can consider starting from the inside."

"No."

Beelzebub decisively rejected Ye Xi's idea, which also surprised her.

"Any method is fine, but you can't attack the Demon King's Castle."

Ye Xi thought about it carefully again and again, after all, Beelzebub was the core master of the Demon King's Castle.

No matter what happens, she should be held responsible. If Ye Xi really intends to start from the Demon King's City, she will be called a criminal.

Beelzebub will fight against Ye Xi in order to protect the Demon King's Castle.

Judging from the current situation, Beelzebub is the criminal and Ye Xi is the hero. Isn't this completely counterproductive?

One side does not want to be the Demon King but is believed by many monsters, while the other side wants to sit back in the position of Demon King but is hated by his subordinates. This contradiction suddenly emerges.

"Well...don't be so gloomy. Go back and have a meal, take a shower, and then we can discuss this again."

"There's always a way."

Faced with Charles's comforting words, she seemed to think that rushing things would be fruitless, so the two of them had to calm down first and then come up with a plan B later.
