I glanced at him. "Oh?"
"Why?"
A flicker of anger crossed Lou Wang's eyes. "Because Tao Wu is vicious, and only you can handle it."
I sighed helplessly. "I'm sorry, I'm just a Little Demon."
Lou Wang's expression darkened. "Liu Xia, that's your sister! Do you have any idea how dangerous Tao Wu is?"
I nodded. "I know."
"But I'm afraid of dying."
"But Xian Yao is a mortal; she has no powers."
Lou Wang was right.
Tao Wu was indeed ferocious, but it couldn't harm me.
Before I arrived, my master had already severely injured it.
But Xian Yao was just a mortal.
She couldn't fight against Tao Wu.
Ultimately, unable to escape the tug of my conscience, I prepared to save Xian Yao.
So I went.
As a result, I saw Wu You outside the door.
At that moment, Wu You was looking into the room with a complex expression.
I had no idea what he was thinking.
But he didn’t seem inclined to save Xian Yao.
So I knocked him out.
Later, I found out that the person who had been sleeping in bed that day was actually the Demon Lord Wu You.
I tapped the table. "Awake?"
Wu You slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse. "Who are you?"
I sneered. "Stop pretending."
"What were you looking for that day when you went out?"
Wu You was taken aback, a shadow passing through his eyes. "You saw everything?"
I nodded. "Yes."
Wu You fell silent for a moment and then said, "Tao Wu has gone mad; I didn't want to get involved."
"Is that so?"
"But I see you looking for something."
Wu You's body stiffened, and he instinctively touched his pocket.
I glanced at him. "Did you find it?"
Wu You's voice was low. "It's none of your business."
I smiled. "It really isn't."
"But lying to me is another matter."
At my words, Wu You suddenly looked up at me.
I took out the Fallen Demon Staff from my Qiankun Bag. "Are you looking for this?"
Wu You stared intently at the Fallen Demon Staff, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
But he held himself back.
"What do you want to do?"
I stood up and walked in front of him. "I want you to help me find someone."
Wu You looked at me, his voice indifferent. "Who?"
I lowered my gaze, my voice heavy with emotion. " True Lord of the Clear Wind, Lou Qi."
My master.
It had been a long time since he last came to see me.
He once told me that if one day he suddenly disappeared, I should wait for him.
So I had been waiting.
But now, I could wait no longer.
Because something must have happened to him.
Xian Yao and Lou Wang were colluding, plotting against me and harming my kin.
They would not let my master escape their grasp.
He had taught me a wealth of spells, bringing me out of the wilderness and showing me a broader world.
Not only did he teach me magic, but he also imparted the principles of being a good person.
He helped me understand the distinction between good and evil.
He told me that even demons could be good demons.
But now, I can only watch helplessly as I walk towards my own demise.
Upon hearing this, Wu You paused for a moment, and after a long silence, just when I thought he wouldn’t speak, he murmured softly, “Isn’t True Lord of the Clear Wind already dead for tens of thousands of years?”
I concealed Wu You's whereabouts and merely said that he had gone back to the Demon Realm for some matters.
Time has no meaning in cultivation, and the calculations in Lou Wang's eyes gradually became hard to hide as he looked at me.
When Xian Yao almost succumbed to his inner demons once again, he could no longer hold back.
“Liu Xia, I know you care deeply for your sister. Here’s a chance for you to extract your Demonic Bone and forge a protective artifact for her.”
“She is a weak woman; it’s too dangerous for her to wander in the wilderness.”
I retorted sharply, “Why don’t you extract yours?”
