Once Jiang Xuan snapped back to reality, he didn’t accept Xia Xiao Yu’s kind intentions. Instead, he took a slow step back.
Seeing this, Xia Xiao Yu frowned slightly.
“Xuan Gege, are you afraid of me? I came to save you out of the goodness of my heart! It really hurts my feelings that you’re rejecting my kindness…”
Just then, Jiang Xuan slowly spoke up:
“Even though your tone sounds a bit like Xiao Yu’s, I can tell you aren’t her… If I’m guessing correctly, you’re the Ancient Demon God I just met not long ago…”
“Hehehe, Xuan Gege, how did you see through my disguise? I thought I was being so clever!”
“Well, it’s your aura. It’s almost identical to what showed up when you possessed Ling Yun.”
“Oh? So I can’t hide anything from my old friend’s senses after all. Don’t worry, I won’t let you become a husband. Instead, you should come back to the Monster Clan and be a delightful demon servant for their powerful beings.”
With that, ‘Xia Xiao Yu’ charged forward, scooped up Jiang Xuan, and vanished from the secret chamber.
Once ‘Xia Xiao Yu’ emerged outside, she discovered the space was sealed tight.
Nangong Liu Yun appeared right in front of her.
“Good thing I came back to check or else, Xia Yu, you would have snatched my man right under my nose. But wait… this aura isn’t like Xia Yu’s…”
At that moment, the Ancient Demon God laid eyes on Nangong Liu Yun for the first time. Her gaze zeroed in on Liu Yun’s face.
“You… you… weren’t you supposed to be dead at the hands of the Human Supreme? Wait, you’re the reincarnation of that woman…”
Hearing this, Nangong Liu Yun scrutinized ‘Xia Xiao Yu’ with newfound curiosity.
“I see… so you are Mo Qing Yue. I can’t believe you survived from that great battle a thousand years ago. Nonetheless, knowing you is one thing, but trying to take my husband in front of me? That’s a bit much, don’t you think?”
“Hehehe, if it were the you from a thousand years ago, this Demon God would definitely be scared. But now? You’re just a Martial Master! What am I worried about? Mark my words, I’ve set my sights on your husband. Do me a favor and just let him go. He’s my biggest enemy, and I plan to drag him back to the Monster Clan to be a lowly servant to the powerhouses.”
“In your dreams! You can’t take him!”
At this critical moment, Mo Qing Yue slowly released Jiang Xuan, but her delicate hand tightened around his neck.
“I don’t want to fight you, but if you try to stop me, I’ll k*ll him right in front of you. After all, he’s my enemy too. You should actually be on my side. Don’t forget, you fell to his blade a thousand years ago.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan thought to himself:
“Is this stuff I’m hearing real? How much of what this Ancient Demon God just said is actually true… No way… Did Liu Yun really… get… taken down by me a thousand years ago?”
Meanwhile, Nangong Liu Yun responded, “Husband, don’t listen to her! This stupid Demon God is just spouting nonsense. You’ll understand everything clearly once your memories come back.”
After saying that, she turned towards Mo Qing Yue. “Let him go! Or else, don’t blame me for forgetting our past friendship and going all out on you.”
“Alright! Let’s see if the so-called number one swordsman from a thousand years ago still has any tricks up her sleeve!”
With Mo Qing Yue’s words, Nangong Liu Yun moved, her sword aiming straight for her.
However, Mo Qing Yue threw Jiang Xuan in front of her instead.
In a split second, Nangong Liu Yun halted her attack, but the recoil hit her hard. Jiang Xuan felt an odd sense of déjà vu.
On the other hand, Mo Qing Yue mocked, “What’s wrong? Can’t bring yourself to strike? Oh, I get it now. You’ve been enchanted by this charming Demon and don’t want revenge anymore. That’s probably why you fell before him in the first place, huh? Emotions are the biggest taboo for the strong. That’s why when he practiced the Unfeeling Dao, he became the Human Supreme and unrivaled.”
While Mo Qing Yue continued to taunt Nangong Liu Yun, Jiang Xuan was surprised to find a black blade had somehow appeared in his hand.
Then, his eyes gleamed with a crimson hue.
