Chapter 1036: Mu Yiting and Su Kexin

Chapter 1036: Mu Yiting and Su Kexin

Mu Yiting found this matter extremely puzzling; she needed a long time to digest the contents—the dream and the Demon Realm, Lin Nuo and her, childhood memories and the present, all these connections.

But right now, it was just one stranger’s unverified claims; how could she confirm their truthfulness?

She couldn’t fully believe it, nor could she outright dismiss it.

In response to Mu Yiting’s doubts, the Demon named “Han” from the Demon Realm provided her with an answer:

“Yes, survivor. Over a decade ago, a massive number of people and animals perished in Cangshan Forest due to the leak of demonic energy from ancient demonic artifacts. Humans and animals that absorbed it would die. However, Lin Nuo did not die; he survived. Perhaps because he lived, after the Demon Star fell, he could become a powerful demon.”

“More than ten years ago? Cangshan Forest? So he was there back then and did not die. But I haven’t encountered him; I’m quite sure of that—I have no recollection at all.”

“Well, perhaps you truly haven’t seen him. Originally, your dream was meant to make you remember the past. But for some unknown reason, the Lin Nuo in your dream seems to have gained consciousness, altering the original trajectory. He was supposed to be taken down the mountain by the Lin family, but he continued to ascend. And as you said, his actions don’t resemble those of a child. It’s as if his soul has returned.”

Han was speaking in profound terms, which Mu Yiting had yet to fully comprehend.

But she had her own thoughts; that boy indeed didn’t seem like an adult, and his actions were not those of an adult.

Especially in the process of refining cold water, he knew the procedure, as if he possessed an adult’s soul while merely having the body of a child.

In contrast, she felt like a bystander, observing her younger self’s interaction with Lin Nuo.

“If this is your dream, and it repeats multiple times, you should consider changing a few things. But ultimately, it’s that boy who’s altering the outcome; that’s truly strange. Regardless, this dream aims to make you remember your past, and for more of your story, you need to venture into the Demon Realm.”

“I won’t go. This place is my hometown, where I have people I cherish; I won’t go to the Demon Realm you speak of.”

Mu Yiting firmly reiterated her stance—she simply wouldn’t go, and she suspected the other party lacked the power to force her. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to talk to her so much.

As the young master of a mafia organization, she could naturally speculate on the other party’s intentions.

She might be of some value, and they probably wanted to trick her into coming over.

Going to a strange place for no reason is something most people wouldn’t accept, let alone her.

Even if she was some so-called princess, so what? She didn’t grow up there, and since she was in the human realm, she should take root here.

“Princess, you’ve stayed in the human realm too long. All those minutiae are eroding your mind. Even if this is where you grew up, and you treat it as home, one day, humans will see you as an anomaly, driving you away and exterminating you. Even your family in the human realm would treat you as an outsider if they knew the truth.”

“Enough! This method of sowing discord is far too low-level. These are all your one-sided words, and I suspect the dream was specially created for me to see by you, so let’s end it here.”

Mu Yiting said coldly, wanting to conclude the conversation with this person, and just as she was about to turn and leave, new customers entered the quiet shop. Han immediately became alert and transmitted a message to Mu Yiting:

“Princess, hurry and leave! People from the Sacred Realm have arrived!”

Mu Yiting didn’t know what was happening; she saw two people entering the shop—a man in a white robe and someone she recognized.

It was Su Kexin!

Upon seeing Su Kexin, she recalled the troubling scenes from her dream—the cold and heartless little girl wielding a sharp sword, slaughtering the brothers of Helong Hall!

She had a bad premonition, sensing malice from the two.

“Hmm? This place feels somewhat…”

Su Kexin murmured softly, and the man beside her immediately responded:

“I sense a presence from the Demon Realm.”

Then their gazes fell upon Mu Yiting and the boss. Since Mu Yiting had disguised herself, Su Kexin temporarily didn’t recognize her.

Mu Yiting pretended not to notice their gaze and walked straight past them.

“Hold on, miss.”

The man in the white robe called out to Mu Yiting, even attempting to intercept her. At that moment, Han promptly intervened, unleashing a wave of spirit energy, which the white-robed man quickly blocked.

This spirit wave seemed low on power, but upon hitting someone, it would penetrate their body and cause internal injuries.

Mu Yiting reacted swiftly; seeing this, she took off running. The white-robed man wanted to pursue, but Han blocked him.

“You go after her quickly; she’s definitely connected to the Demon Realm!”

The white-robed man instructed Su Kexin, who felt alarmed—what was happening so suddenly?

Did it mean that the girl who just left was a bad person?

That girl was leaving in quite a hurry; perhaps she really was a bad person!

“Okay! Be careful!”

Su Kexin hurried to chase, while Han tried to obstruct her, but the white-robed man immediately attacked. Both sides clashed, and Su Kexin seized the opportunity to dart outside.

“Truly a soul from the Demon Realm; I didn’t expect that.”

“I advise you not to meddle in others’ affairs; go back to your Sacred Realm.”

“Some things can’t be ignored. You demons are full of tricks; we’ve suffered enough.”

Both parties exchanged words while fighting; since their souls had entered human bodies, their powers were limited. Otherwise, a single conflict could level a city.

However, during the battle, the white-robed man gained the upper hand. After a fierce exchange, his techniques suppressed Han, and ultimately, the spirit wave struck Han.

The boss collapsed without a word, and Han’s spirit was extinguished.

“So it was a split soul. No wonder this demon seemed so weak.”

The white-robed man muttered to himself. This split soul had divided the spirit into multiple parts, naturally splitting its power as well. To destroy it, he needed to eliminate all parts of the soul; otherwise, the lost power would eventually recover.

The white-robed man ran outside, pursuing Su Kexin and the others.

…

Lin Nuo had stayed at the mountaintop for a while, noticing no abnormalities, and thus headed back.

Of course, he still kept his distance; otherwise, being close to those three girls would be troublesome.

“Master! Master! You’re back! Where have you been? Your disciple was very worried when you disappeared!”

Seeing Lin Nuo from afar, Ling Meng became extremely excited, running over to hug her beloved master.

However, Lin Nuo wouldn’t cooperate; he even took a step back, and Ling Meng couldn’t catch up to him at all.

“Don’t make a scene. You three nearly got me killed; I won’t be approaching you for now. Everything that happened has been communicated to you through the Demon Eagle’s soul. Next, you three need to check on the condition of the subordinates in the organization. I can’t guarantee that the gases have no side effects.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand, but Ling Meng was very dissatisfied with his attitude. They had shared a bed, so how could he be so cold!
