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

Ling Siye nodded in agreement and continued searching for wood nearby that could be used to start a fire.

Feeling ignored, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord sat down on a large rock nearby, looked around, and occasionally lowered his head in silence, plotting his escape plan.

He didn't believe the contract could truly control his freedom!

As long as he can find a perfect body, he will definitely be able to possess it and be reborn, breaking free from the shackles of this contract!

As he was thinking this, his stomach started growling, much to his dismay.

Having been suppressed for so many years, he originally thought he was just a wandering soul and no longer needed to eat. Now that he has seen the light of day again, he is actually hungry.

Jiang Huan noticed that something was wrong with the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, turned to look at him, chuckled, and then ignored him.

The campfire flickered in the dark forest. Jiang Huan and Ling Siye smiled at each other, while the Nine-Bat Demon Lord silently watched the two humans feeding each other roasted meat, rubbing his belly.

"Hmph!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord stood up, gave a haughty snort, spread his wings, and flew into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Ling Siye asked, "What if he takes the opportunity to run away?"

“They can’t escape.” Jiang Huan shook his head and replied with a smile, “Aye, tell Chen Cheng to tell your grandfather and the Ling family to expand their influence in Zhongzhou as soon as possible, so that we can join forces in Zhongzhou then.”

"Ah."

After Jiang Huan finished eating, she sent a message to Li Huaichuan, asking him to expand the influence of the Fire Lotus Palace towards the Central Plains.

The Central Plains are an unknown quantity; before resurrecting her family, she must make the power at her disposal as strong as possible…

"Pah!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord returned to Jiang Huan and Ling Siye in a disheveled state, still dripping wet, staring at her with a cold expression. "Why didn't you tell me that this contract would restrict my demonic power?"

“You didn’t ask!” Jiang Huan held up the freshly roasted monster meat in her hand and blew on it.

"You!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord gritted his teeth, so angry that he was on the verge of collapse. He kept flapping his wings in front of the two of them to vent his displeasure.

Ling Siye raised his hand, conjuring an ice shield to block the flames whipped up by the wind. His expression darkened. "Do you still want to fight?"

"Fight if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you?" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord stopped, his tall figure blocking their path like a huge shadow.

Ling Siye put away his ice shield and was about to get up, but Jiang Huan stopped him. "Aye, don't worry about him, let's go for a walk."

“Okay.” Ling Siye’s expression softened, and he nodded gently.

"Boy, are you scared? If you've got the guts, don't run away! I'll beat you to a pulp!" Nine-Bat Demon Lord stood with his hands on his hips, gesturing wildly.

This doesn't resemble a demon lord who has lived for hundreds of years at all; he's just like a mischievous child.

Ling Siye didn't even glance at her this time, and simply took Jiang Huan's hand and walked away, leaving the Nine-Bat Demon Lord standing there, both angry and helpless.

"Damn it!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord plopped down on the small rock where Jiang Huan had just been sitting. "To think that I, the dignified leader of the Three Demons, have been suppressed for a hundred years and reduced to this pathetic state! I have no face to return to the Demon Clan!!!"

Just as he was pounding his chest in frustration, the crackling sound of burning firewood drew his attention away, and then the aroma of sizzling, juicy roasted meat came into view.

Meat……

This grilled meat smells pretty good!

Nine-Bat Demon Lord swallowed hard, recalling his earlier encounter.

He originally intended to capture a demon beast to eat, but after walking around, he didn't see a single bird. In addition, he was already dissatisfied with Jiang Huan taking advantage of his misfortune to force him to acknowledge a master, so he thought of escaping.

As a result, after flying a certain distance, he instantly lost his ability. Even though he had wings, he was firmly trapped by an invisible giant hand and then fell from the sky.

Luckily, there was a pool of water below, otherwise he would have been smashed to pieces!

"It's all her fault! Humph! Eating a couple of bites of her meat is her compensation to me!" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord complained as he stuffed the rest of the roasted meat into his mouth.

I have to say, the barbecue made by humans is just different; it's both fragrant and delicious.

Unbeknownst to the Nine-Bat Demon Lord, Jiang Huan was secretly watching with Ling Siye by her side.

"Huanhuan, why are you giving it to him? You worked so hard to bake this," Ling Siye said with a sour tone.

"You're even jealous of him?" Jiang Huan asked in surprise, then laughed and cried at the same time. "You don't need to worry about so much. I was thinking that sometimes being too forceful can backfire. Maybe offering some temptations now and then can change his mind about killing me."

"But--"

Jiang Huan interrupted, "A-Ye, I know you feel inexplicably irritable and resentful because of him. Do you really just want to kill him based on your resentment? Don't you want to know why?"

"Want to know."

“Then let’s keep him here. Not to mention the possibility of him being betrayed later, he’s safe for now.” Jiang Huan reached out and touched Ling Siye’s face, her gentle spiritual energy transforming into threads from her fingertips and entering his sea of ​​consciousness.

Enveloped by her spiritual power, his rage was suppressed, and the hatred and resentment he felt towards the Nine-Bat Demon Lord in his consciousness were greatly reduced.

"Huanhuan, thank you." Ling Siye raised his hand and placed it on hers, his eyes full of gratitude and love.

"You're welcome." Jiang Huan smiled at him, then flicked his forehead. "You don't need to be jealous anymore. In some ways, you're incomparable to those people, those demons, so don't worry!"

"What if I get old in the future?"

"Then if you cultivate diligently, won't your lifespan increase?" Jiang Huan asked with a smile.

Ling Siye was speechless, then smiled helplessly and reached out to pull her into his arms.

The two waited until the Nine-Bat Demon Lord finished eating all the roasted meat before returning.

Fearing that Jiang Huan would scold him, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord disappeared in a flash.

Although he can't be too far away, he can still find peace and quiet on his own within that distance.

Jiang Huan ignored it, took out a tent from her Red Lotus Ring, and rested with Ling Siye inside for the night before continuing their journey the next morning.

Ten days later.

The two people and the demon lord successfully arrived in Xuezhou.

Fortunately, the winter in the northern state connects with that of the selangor state, and the northern state also follows the order of the four seasons. They live from spring to winter, so they are not unable to withstand the severe cold of the selangor state all at once.

Jiang Huan dislikes wearing bulky clothes in winter, and since she cultivates fire-attribute techniques, she doesn't feel cold at all.

"I'm freezing! Do we really have to go there?" The Nine-Bat Demon Lord's teeth chattered from the cold.

"Absolutely." Jiang Huan nodded, and with a wave of her hand, she sent a red lotus into the body of the Nine-Bat Demon Lord.

In an instant, the Nine-Bat Demon Lord felt his body suddenly heat up and warm up.

I must say, this human girl is quite capable!

Putting everything else aside, he was somewhat qualified to be the master of the Nine-Bat Demon Lord!
