The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Yue attacked again.

Ye Feng instinctively wanted to retaliate, but the rumbling thunder in the sky warned him.

He could only grit his teeth, glance at Bai Ling with resentment, and then turn and run away.

"Don't even think about running!!!"

The coldness in her voice was like a deep, dark pool. Ye Yue stared at Ye Feng's back, ready to launch an attack.

However, the seventh transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Illusionary Demon is ultimately beyond her level of cultivation to unlock.

As she stepped forward to exert force, a sharp pain struck her entire body, causing her to shudder violently as if electrocuted, letting out a muffled groan and kneeling down.

"Don't even think about running!"

Ye Yue gritted her teeth and tried to lift her head, watching Ye Feng's retreating figure, struggling to break through her limits.

In fact, she did succeed.

But by then, Ye Feng had vanished without a trace.

She took two steps forward, but had to give up.

The seventh transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Illusionary Demon consumes too much energy; she can't keep using it to search for people indefinitely.

But if she stops now, she'll have to wait for her body to recover before she can use it again.

Simply put, it means waiting for the skill cooldown.

With a reluctant glance in the direction where Ye Feng had disappeared, Ye Yue turned around and met Bai Ling's tearful eyes.

Suddenly, the side effects of forcibly activating the ultimate move kicked in; his entire body seemed to be groaning in agony, and he was in excruciating pain.

But Ye Yue no longer cared, because the physical pain was far less than the pain in her heart.

……

In the distance, Su Qi gently stroked the little white fox in his arms, watching Ye Yue's pillar of fortune gradually turn black, feeling the power accumulating within his body, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Sigh, yet another innocent girl has been deceived!" Although her words were sympathetic, Mo Lingsu's tone conveyed a different meaning.

"What are you planning to do tomorrow?" Su Qi ignored her sarcastic tone and instead inquired about the demon clan's plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the demon race and the monster race will join forces to launch a surprise attack on the Li clan.

As the young master of the demon race, Mo Lingsu naturally had to participate.

"What do you mean, what should we do?" Mo Ling Su knew what Su Qi was asking, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips as she retorted, "What does the matter of the demon race have to do with me? I will definitely choose to follow my master!"

Haha, the White Fox Clan really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to choose you as their young master.

Su Qi silently mourned for the White Fox Clan for three seconds, then asked a seemingly nonsensical question.

"Do you want to be the Demon Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Lingsu guessed what Su Qi was planning to do.

She curled her lips into a smile and asked a question that made Su Qi choke on his saliva.

"Then, Master, can you be my demon queen?"

Su Qi: ...

"If Master wants to use me to control the demon race, he should at least give me some benefits, right?"

Mo Lingsu looked over with her foxy eyes, and a fluffy tail swept lightly across Su Qi's fair and soft face.

"Ha, I'm helping you become the Demon Emperor and you still want benefits from me?" Su Qi said incredulously, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just support Mu Xinglan instead!"

"As for someone..."

"If you can't keep up in strength in the future, just wait to be abandoned by me!"

Normally, given Mo Lingsu's personality, she wouldn't care about such words.

But for some reason, when she heard Su Qi say he was going to abandon her, her heart stopped for a moment.

The thought that this fun little toy would no longer be able to play with her made her feel inexplicably panicked.

After a long silence, she gave a haughty snort.

"I can become the Demon Emperor without you!"

This is tantamount to agreeing in disguise.

Su Qi's lips curled up slightly.

My master, my master, have you noticed?

You've already fallen for it!

"By the way, would you like to do something you've always wanted to do?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Lingsu, who was somewhat unsettled, regained her composure.

"what's up?"

"Haven't you noticed? Of all the female leads I've deceived, only Yue Siyi hasn't discovered my identity, besides Ye Yue in front of me."

"Huh?" Mo Ling Su was taken aback: "Wasn't there Ruo Bing Li? How come only Yue Si Yi is left?"

"Huh?" Su Qi also sounded puzzled, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he tilted his head. "Didn't I tell you? That was quite a show, and you didn't even see it?"

The tone of voice made it sound like they'd missed out on hundreds of millions.

Su Qi is about to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, which involves some secrets, so he needs to find an excuse to send Mo Ling Su away.

However, before he could break through, there was one more thing he needed to do.

……

The next morning.

Yue Siyi took a note and went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the academy. She saw Mo Lingsu sitting in the pavilion and waving at her. She was stunned for a moment and then walked over.

Elder Mo!

Mo Lingsu was, after all, the number two figure in Qingyun Sect. Although Yue Siyi was not familiar with her, they could still exchange a few words.

The girl was somewhat surprised to see that the person who had asked her out was her.

"I wonder what Elder Mo wants to discuss with me?"

Since arriving at the White Tiger Academy, she has been working hard to improve her cultivation, ignoring everything else.

And her efforts paid off.

She has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"I recently found something interesting!"

Mo Lingsu poured a cup of tea, pushed it across to the opposite side, and gestured for Yue Siyi to sit down.

"Something interesting?" Yue Siyi sat down, puzzled.

I suspect this interesting thing is related to me.

Mo Ling Su glanced at the flute at her waist, a slight smile playing on her lips, and immediately played her trump card.

"I've discovered that your beloved Wuqing is actually still alive!"

"What???"

Yue Siyi suddenly stood up.

"Not only is he not dead, but he's been right beside you all along!" Mo Lingsu's words were shocking, throwing down a royal flush followed by four 2s.

"That's impossible!" Yue Siyi denied instinctively. "I clearly saw him self-destruct, and there was no trace of his body!"

"Hehe, Siyi, you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from becoming a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator. You should have a general idea of ​​how powerful a self-destruction of a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator can be."

Mo Lingsu dipped her fingertip in tea and drew a line on the stone table, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Do you really think... that explosion back then could have been caused by someone at the half-step Nascent Soul stage?"

hum...

Yue Siyi's mind exploded, and the turmoil raged on for a long time.

Yes, she was at the Golden Core stage before, so she didn't really have a concept of it.

But now that she has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and broadened her horizons at the White Tiger Academy, she's seen what it's like to be a pig even if she hasn't eaten pork.

That explosion back then, let alone a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, even a true Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't have produced such a powerful explosion, right?

"So... the self-destruction was fake? He lied to me?"

Yue Siyi's lips trembled, and her throat was extremely dry.

I really want to cry, but I can't.

She should be happy that the person she likes didn't die, so why is she so sad?

"You don't need to be so sad, he had his reasons for doing this!"

Mo Lingsu continued to dip her fingers in tea and draw on the table.

At the same time, slowly recount the events.

"Everything he did was to save you, to protect you. Have you ever considered that behind us, there's an invisible hand controlling everything? Do you know..."

As Mo Lingsu calmly recounted the shocking secrets, Yue Siyi's eyes widened, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
