Looking at Yong Shanling's smile, Mu Yijie somehow felt that the monster inside was doomed.
The two didn't say a word. Yong Shanling suddenly pushed open the door and threw out the puppet in her hand. The puppet emitted a burst of light and pounced on the fake Yong Shanling, biting it constantly.
"Ah—"
The fake Yong Shanling let out a scream and desperately tried to tear off the thing that seemed to be stuck to her body. However, the puppet was as flexible as a fish, scurrying around on her body and biting continuously.
At this time, the fake Yong Shanling also saw the two people at the door and immediately knew that she had been exposed. She no longer concealed herself. In order to get rid of the strange puppet, she directly transformed back into her original form.
"Hey, it's actually a parrot demon." Yong Shanling's big, bright eyes widened as she looked at the monster with a hint of regret. You know, apart from rare beasts, it's very difficult for ordinary beasts to develop spiritual intelligence. In modern times when spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thin, it's even more difficult to practice.
"Little parrot, for a bird like you that gets close to humans, you can gain some merits by getting along well with them. Seeing that your cultivation has reached the Body Forging stage, why did you have the crazy idea of devouring humans to practice?" Yong Shanling glared at the little demon in front of her angrily. She really felt sorry for it.
Looking at this hypocritical woman in front of her, the parrot demon thought she knew nothing.
A flash of red light passed through the parrot demon's eyes. "What do you know? You humans are all vicious and hypocritical. Since I survived, I've sworn to take revenge on humans. It's natural selection that they can help me practice."
The parrot's sharp voice that cut through the air made the two of them feel a bit of a headache, but Yong Shanling didn't take it to heart. After all, she had reached the late stage of the Fusion stage, so it was easy for her to deal with a demon in the early stage of the Body Forging stage.
Yong Shanling slapped several amulets on Mu Yijie's body and rushed in with her wooden sword.
She nimbly used the surrounding objects as cover and infused spiritual energy into her wooden sword, instantly sending out several sword qi. The parrot was caught off guard and got its wing scratched.
Who would have thought that this would instead arouse its ferocity. It raised its head and let out a silent scream.
In an instant, Yong Shanling covered her head. Her vision became blurred, and she vaguely saw Mu Yijie not far away falling to the ground and hammering his head.
When her vision became a bit clearer, she saw a lightning - fast figure rushing towards Mu Yijie.
"Boss!" Yong Shanling's heart skipped a beat. She bit her tongue and spat out a drop of essence blood on the bell, then threw it out forcefully.
At the critical moment, a red figure appeared in front of Mu Yijie, and the parrot was knocked to the ground at the last moment.
Yong Shanling struggled to stand up and saw Ye Wei tightly holding Mu Yijie and trembling all over.
"You damned little demon. I originally wanted to spare your life, but I didn't expect you to be so ferocious." Yong Shanling's face was as white as paper. Looking at the demon that was still staring at Mu Yijie while lying on the ground, she was about to beat it to ashes.
"Hehe, do you think you can protect this person? He will surely die at our hands," seeing Yong Shanling was about to take its life, it stared wide - eyed, looking ferocious and crazy.
Realizing the danger, Yong Shanling quickly took the two of them back and covered the room with a small - scale barrier. A blinding light flashed in the room, leaving only a pool of blood.
"Yijie, are you okay?" Ye Wei's panicked words stopped Yong Shanling, who was about to search for any trace of the demon's soul.
"Sister Ye, don't move him for now. He was attacked by sound waves. The more you move him, the more uncomfortable he will be." She quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag. It was a medicine for nourishing the spiritual sense.
Seeing what Yong Shanling took out, Ye Wei raised her eyebrows slightly and secretly put a small ball of something into her handbag.
"What... what's wrong with me?" Mu Yijie opened his eyes painfully. He felt as if thousands of needles were constantly pricking his head.
"Yijie, there's a demon—"
"Sister Ye, I like your perfume very much. Can I give you a gift too?" Yong Shanling suddenly interrupted to attract Ye Wei's attention.
Ye Wei looked up. Before she could say a word, she fainted.
Yong Shanling caught Ye Wei's limp body and smiled slyly. "Uncle, she will forget everything when she wakes up after a good sleep. I specifically erased the things that happened during the encounter with the demon."
"Uncle, your spiritual sense was attacked by the parrot demon. You've already taken my medicine. You'll be fine in a few days. I'm sorry. Please don't drive me away, okay?" Yong Shanling looked at Mu Yijie guiltily. She felt really incompetent. If it weren't for the fact that she happened to have the bell and Ye Wei blocked in front of him, she didn't even dare to imagine the consequences. If such a good employer who could attract demons died, where could she find another one?
Looking at the pale - faced Yong Shanling, Mu Yijie let out a slight sigh and stood up with a cold expression, supporting himself against the wall.
Seeing that Mu Yijie didn't say a word, Yong Shanling nervously pinched the puppet with her fair little hand. "That demon just said that he will surely die at our hands. I suspect that someone has spread your information. The most likely one is the Gudiaoji. After all, we took a wisp of its divine sense last time, which greatly damaged its vitality. Demons are the most vengeful, so it's very likely to be it."
A hint of gloom flashed across Mu Yijie's eyes. "We can't be so passive anymore."
On the other side, in a luxurious villa, a red - dressed woman angrily smashed all the things in her hand on the ground.
"Useless! You can't even handle such a small thing. What's the use of you? Who on earth is that little girl? Although she's only in the small Fusion stage, she has all kinds of magical treasures. I'll give you one last chance. Find out everything about this little girl for me."
The figure under the steps trembled. Hearing that there was still one more chance, a flash of ecstasy passed through his eyes. He stared at the red - dressed woman crazily. "Master, I won't disappoint you again."
The woman turned her head in disgust. "I hope so. Don't forget who saved you from the humans back then."
"Master, I will surely find out everything for you." Saying that, the man staggered to his feet, bowed, and slowly walked out.
In the following days, the two often went out, but it was always calm. Song Yiran, who had been pestering the two of them, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, this Gudiaoji demon must be afraid of the little immortal. Maybe it won't come again." Song Yiran winked at the little immortal, feeling that he really had good eyesight and had picked such a reliable protector at a glance.
Hearing Song Yiran's words, Yong Shanling jumped up. Her bright face was full of surprise. "I know. It must be because we've been together all the time, so it's not easy for it to attack. That's why there's been no movement. But if we separate a little or hide our auras and appearances and follow you, it will surely show up."
"Because demons are the most vengeful, right?" Mu Yijie said in a deep voice.
"Right! Demons are the most vengeful. They always take revenge for the slightest grievance. Moreover, the Gudiaoji's cultivation might even be higher than mine. In this situation, what reason does it have to give up?" Yong Shanling showed a sly smile.
