Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

"I'm just giving it a try," the Nine-Bat Demon Lord gritted his teeth.

Ling Siye raised his spirit sword, turned around and pointed it at the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, his face was frosty and his tone was full of killing intent, "Huanhuan, he is useless and always wants to kill you. I'll take care of him for you, so we don't have to have a burden on our journey!"

The Nine-Bat Demon Lord was furious, "You brat, talking nonsense! I just wanted to see how ruthless this contract really is!"

"You ingrate, one day you'll bite Huanhuan back. Death is the best end for you!" Ling Siye fiercely stabbed the Nine-Bat Demon Lord in the neck.

"Wait!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord waved his hand and took a step back. "Boy, I have no grudge against you. Do you have to be so ruthless?"

"I will not let anyone who harbors murderous intent toward Huanhuan go!"

"You...you...I'm not human, do you have to compare me to a human?" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord's face darkened. "Boy, although I haven't been resurrected yet, the strength of this wisp of soul is not something a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like you can withstand! Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?"

Seeing the two of them locked in a fierce battle, Jiang Huan couldn't help but rub her forehead and her temples. "A-Ye, don't worry about him. He's just a personal accessory now, and he can't do anything to me for the time being."

There are several reasons why she kept the Nine-Bat Demon Lord around.

The first reason was that since he was once the leader of the three demons, she thought she could find a way to completely control him in the future. She thought of resurrecting him to restrain the demon race.

The second thing he said was that he was deceived by her aunt Duanmu Xiyin, which is why he ended up in this situation. She wanted to keep him around so that she could verify it when she saw her aunt again.

The third point is what he just mentioned: even a wisp of a ghost has strength, making him a good henchman. Moreover, he must know a lot about the demon race, which would be helpful to her.

Nine-Bat Demon Lord was very dissatisfied with being called a 'hook,' but he had no choice. He was indeed under the control of this young girl, there was no doubt about it!

Ling Siye sheathed his spirit sword and asked, "So where are we going next?"

"Let's get out of here first!" Jiang Huan said, glancing indifferently at the Nine-Bat Demon Lord. "Stay close to us. We've already signed the contract, so don't even think about playing any tricks! And put away those wings of yours too!"

Nine-Bat Demon Lord pouted, angrily crossed his arms, and folded away his pair of bat wings.

Although he was dissatisfied, he dared not show it and could only obediently follow behind the two.

As they left the underground palace and emerged from the ancient ruins, the surrounding environment gradually brightened.

After returning from the Soul-Locking Pillar, and after some more commotion, it was already dawn.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto Jiang Huan and the others, giving them a long-lost warmth.

Nine-Bat Demon Lord squinted; the light made him very uncomfortable.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he'd seen the light of day...

Jiang Huan glanced at the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, who was standing there in a daze, and handed him an umbrella. "If you can't stand the sun, use your own umbrella."

After all, it was a demon suppressed underground, and it was a nine-headed bat, which is a nocturnal animal. After being suppressed for so long without seeing the light, it would be difficult for it to appear during the day.

"Is this an umbrella?" Nine-Bat Demon Lord looked at the pink short-handled umbrella in his hand with doubt. "I have never seen anything like this before, and the color does not seem to suit me."

"You're already being kind by giving it to me, so stop whining!" Jiang Huan rolled her eyes at the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, snatched the umbrella, pressed the switch, and the umbrella opened. "See? Use it like this!"

Nine-Bat Demon Lord: "..." What a strange thing.

Even though he had an umbrella, he still felt uncomfortable when the sun shone on him.

"Could we go out for a walk at night?" Nine-Bat Demon Lord asked weakly. He never thought that he would actually ask a human for help. It was a disgrace to every corner of the demon race!

"No!" Jiang Huan said with disdain, "If you're worried about getting sunburned, change into these clothes!"

After she finished speaking, she took out all the sun protection tools, including sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, and a sun-protective face mask, and placed them in front of the Nine-Bat Demon Lord.

Nine-Bat Demon Lord picked up the sunglasses and asked, bewildered, "What is this?"

"You're such an old-fashioned person!" Jiang Huan rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Aye, take him inside to change into these sun-protective clothes!"

Ling Siye hummed in agreement, glanced at the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, and said, "Grab your things and come with me."

"I'll take it myself?" Nine-Bat Demon Lord pointed to himself.

Ling Siye glanced at him languidly, "Should I help you? Hurry up, don't delay our journey!"

With no other option, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord reluctantly carried the items and re-entered the ruins with Ling Siye.

After they went inside, Jiang Huan released Wu Lan and her granddaughter.

"I'm preparing to leave Danzhou. Do you want to come with me, or stay here?"

"Miss Jiang Huan, I want to ask my people... can they really be resurrected?" the old woman asked nervously.

"I can, but there's a proper order to everything. I need to resurrect the people who are important to me first before I can resurrect the others."

"Then I'll stay in Danzhou and let Lanlan stay with Miss Jiang Huan and help her out from time to time, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lan's face turned pale. "Grandma, if I leave, what will you do here all by yourself?"

"I'm fine. I'm too old to cause any more trouble."

"But……"

"Listen to Grandma, you go with Miss Jiang Huan."

Wu Lan didn't speak, biting her lower lip hard.

Seeing this, Jiang Huan took out a spare phone and handed it to Wu Lan, "You know how to use a cell phone, right?"

Wu Lan was taken aback, took the phone, and nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Huan said, "Take this phone. After you leave here, find a place with a signal, dial the first number in your contacts, and tell them that this phone is for you. They will give you the address, and you can take your grandmother there to settle down. As for your clansmen, I will tell you after I resurrect them so that you can reunite!"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang Huan!" Wu Lan held her phone and bowed deeply.

"I promised to resurrect your people, and I will." Jiang Huan nodded. "This magnetic shield... how did you get in?"

Wu Lan laughed and said, "I'm the one who made this magnetic shield."

"I really underestimated your abilities! You can keep it. The most useful things from this ancient ruin have already been taken. What's left are some gold and silver treasures. If someone wants them, just wait for the powerful ones to take them!"

Nine-Bat Demon Lord: The most useful thing? Is it me? Bah! I am nothing!

Jiang Huan: Oh, you're no good.

Nine-Bat Demon Lord: ...

“Okay!” Wu Lan nodded, walked outside, and used her staff to dispel the magnetic shield.

As the magnetic shield disappeared, the guards outside the ancient ruins vanished in an instant.
