"Is everything okay?"

A flame appeared in Yunmeng's hand, illuminating the scene inside the cave.

Yu Xianxian was lying on the ground in the posture of some long-lived animal, face down. When she stood up, her face was covered in ash, making her look like she was begging.

Well, if these clothes were a little more tattered...

Despite this, Yu Xianxian still stubbornly insisted, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"is it?"

Yunmeng watched as blood slowly trickled down Yu Xianxian's forehead, her lips twitching. She gently placed her hand on Yu Xianxian's forehead, and Yu Xianxian felt a warmth spread through her head, instantly relieving the pain in her forehead.

Even the sensation of blood flowing on the left side of her face had completely disappeared.

"Oh, senior sister, you are truly my god."

"Stop talking nonsense. What's with all this talk about gods? Didn't I tell you to go back and wait for me? Why did you drag me in here on your own?"

"Oh, Senior Sister, if you think the City Lord and Miss of the City Lord's Mansion are bad people, how can I be sure it will be safe for me to go back? Rather than leaving me alone, I'd rather come with you."

Of course, the script may have guaranteed a certain level of safety, although after what just happened, Yu Xianxian seriously doubted the authenticity of this script, which was just as unscrupulous as her.

Yunmeng thought about it for a moment and felt that what Yu Xianxian said made some sense, so she took the other's hand and took the lead to explore the way.

"In that case, then follow me. If you encounter any danger, just run and don't worry about me."

"Okay, no problem, senior sister."

How could Yu Xianxian, that old lecher, possibly agree to let him touch the beautiful woman's hand?

Of course, whether or not we do it is a matter for when the time comes.

They hadn't walked far when a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over, like the combined stench of hundreds of drained bodies piled together. Just smelling it made Yu Xianxian's stomach churn. Even Yun Meng felt a little uncomfortable smelling it.

Yunmeng turned her head and looked at Yu Xianxian behind her, who was trying hard to hold back her nausea. She frowned and let go of Yu Xianxian's hand.

Yu Xianxian thought Yunmeng was disgusted with her, and just as she was feeling a little sad, she saw the flame in Yunmeng's palm move to her ten fingers.

With a flick of her fingers, flames gradually formed a magic circle in the air. But once completed, Yu Xianxian felt as if the earth had been revived; the disgusting stench of blood immediately vanished.

Yunmeng took her hand again and asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

"No, I don't feel bad anymore."

It turned out that her senior sister wasn't disgusted with her, but rather had set up a magic array to block the smells. Yu Xianxian was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Indeed, her senior sister was her god.

"Waaaah, senior sister, you're so kind."

Behind her, Yu Xianxian was crying her eyes out, but Yun Meng's expression remained unchanged.

It wasn't that she was completely expressionless, but she had seen Yu Xianxian like this too many times in the past seven years. At first, she felt a little awkward, but now, well, it seems she has completely adapted.

Yunmeng sighed inwardly. Sigh, how long was she going to indulge this silly child?

Yu Xianxian had no idea that in her senior sister Yun's eyes, she had long since fallen to the position of "silly child." At this moment, all she wanted to do was to touch her senior sister's smooth, jade-like hands. Hehe.

However, in such a place, relaxation is only temporary. Around the next turn, they saw a rusty iron gate. Looking at the ground that had been stained black, it was not hard to guess that the smell of blood from earlier had come from here.

"Sister..."

Without needing to say anything more, Yunmeng had already assumed a defensive stance, and the two of them walked step by step toward the iron gate.

Yunmeng tried to push the iron gate gently, and as expected, it was locked and wouldn't budge.

"Senior sister, should we pick the lock?"

Yunmeng didn't reply immediately, but lowered her head to think. After a few seconds, she looked up, turned to Yu Xianxian and said, "Never mind, let's go back first, so as not to alert the enemy."

Yu Xianxian: ...Is it possible that our arrival here might have alerted the enemy?

However, Yu Xianxian didn't say this. Firstly, she was afraid of getting beaten up, and secondly, she was afraid that saying it would encourage Yunmeng to pick the lock, something Yu Xianxian strongly opposed. Leaving aside the potential dangers, the intoxicating smell that had almost killed her was enough to tell what was inside. Yu Xianxian's greatest fear was—blood.

……

Back in her room, the first thing Yu Xianxian did was lie down and sleep. No, she had walked too much that day and suffered so much emotional trauma; she needed to recover.

In reality, Yunmeng, whose energy expenditure was several times greater than Yu Xianxian's, did indeed sit down and cultivate together on the spot.

Looking at the listless bed, Yu felt a pang of sadness. Sure enough, she still didn't understand the life of the "King of Curry".

Even if he had just returned to his room, he still needed to cultivate. For a lazy person like Yu, lying down was still the most comfortable thing to do.

Of course, even if she wanted to cultivate, it would be absolutely impossible.

"Senior sister, do you think there's any hope for City Lord Zhou and Zhou Yue?"

Yunmeng wasn't angry at Yu Xianxian for bothering her. Instead, she answered the question quite naturally, as if she had been bothered by Yu Xianxian hundreds of times in those seven years.

Script: Please remove "seems," and also, it's thousands of times.

"I don't know, I can only do my best."

"is it?"

Why are you suddenly so concerned?

Yu Xianxian's attitude had always been very negative, so Yunmeng was quite surprised that she took the initiative to ask these questions this time.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that you seemed quite concerned about this, Senior Sister."

Although it was a soft whisper, Yunmeng heard it clearly, but she didn't say anything. She just felt a ripple in her heart.

"By the way, senior sister, I'm really curious why you care so much about this?"

"Exorcising demons and monsters is simply my duty; what's so strange about it?"

"No, that's strange. Senior Sister, you've always listened to the Peak Master, why are you in such a hurry this time?"

Yunmeng has always been a steady person. Well, although under Yu Xianxian's influence, she sometimes makes confusing statements and does confusing things, but overall, she is still very reliable.

Okay, Yu Xianxian admits that her curiosity still overcame her few remaining consciences, so she decided to try to get information out of her in a subtle way. If she couldn't get anything out of her, so be it; but if she could, it would mean that her senior sister still didn't consider her an outsider. In that case, Yu Xianxian would gain not just a story, but a sincere heart.

"It's nothing, it's just that Young Master Zhou's experience reminded me of myself."

It's unclear whether Yunmeng knew Yu Xianxian's intentions, but she managed to hit the nail on the head right away.

Under Yu Xianxian's expectant gaze, Yunmeng sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my father was possessed by a demon back then. He not only killed my mother, but also my younger brother and sister. I was the only one in the family who escaped, while my father committed suicide while still conscious."

Yunmeng will never forget the expression on her father's face when he regained his senses: confusion, fear, regret, and unbearable pain...

At that time, her father was covered in blood, holding the axe that had killed all his family members, and his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her.

"Meng'er, it's all your father's fault. You must live well."

The next second, blood splattered, and a head fell to the ground. Yunmeng was completely reborn as a single person. It was only because of this that she resolved to enter the immortal sect and kill all the demons in the world.
