In the Tower Gate, Misha smiled.
The master said that the teachings of Buddhism must not be severed. The scriptures of Pujisi were all in his mind, and he would surely review them daily. The master also said that demon cultivators must keep up. Within the Demon Suppression Tower, there were high-level demon cultivators who could serve as mentors.
When he thought of seeking a demon master, the first name that came to mind was Baiwu. However, he quickly dismissed that thought; that old fellow had long fled in fear and seemed to lack the necessary level for him to learn from.
The master further advised to always follow one's true heart. Once he completed his studies, he would leave the Demon Suppression Tower. The notion of being trapped inside was merely a demon's deception. He had borrowed his master's light and read all the confidential scriptures of the Treasure Pavilion when he was young. Among those texts, there indeed existed information about exiting the tower.
The master had also mentioned wanting to see the world. Well, he would need some time to plan his route. Time flew by, and five years passed.
A purple lightning bolt struck an inconspicuous corner of the Demon Suppression Tower. By the time the temple discovered it, six Great Demons had already escaped. The Demon Subduing Institute managed to recapture only three within a month, which forced them to issue a bounty for all Demon Catchers across the land.
One of the wanted posters depicted Misha. The price of escaping from the Demon Suppression Tower was not small; Misha was severely injured and had exhausted his cultivation method. Fortunately, before being found by the Demon Subduing Institute, he was rescued by the ladies of Fragrant Pavilion and took on the alias Tu A Mo, becoming an apprentice in their kitchen. He traveled far and wide with these ladies, experiencing the world along the way.
Gradually, his strength recovered, and his culinary skills improved continuously. After seven years, he arrived at Jingjing City.
Sang Qingxiao carefully reviewed his memories. During these seven years, Misha not only refrained from killing anyone but also made every effort to protect the weak. Even during his occasional transformations into a demon, it was merely to scare others. In fact, he donated all his monthly earnings to impoverished families.
Though he bore the body of a Half-Demon, the teachings of Buddhism—specifically those from Master Wulian—had profoundly influenced him, guiding him steadily along the right path. Sang Qingxiao felt extremely satisfied with him and sealed their contract while withdrawing from his memories.
Misha felt her memories being opened up, and she sensed that the contract between them had been established. She rolled her eyes at Sang Qingxiao and said, "You really are strong."
During the binding of the contract, there was no sense of resistance. Sang Qingxiao smiled and replied, "You're quite perceptive."
Misha warned him, "Even if we have a contract, I am not so easily controlled. Let's see what kind of person you are. If I find out you intend to use me for evil, while I may not be able to defeat you, I can ensure we both meet our end together."
"Not likely. I'm a person after all," he said.
Reaching a mutual understanding, Sang Qingxiao led her out of the cell.
"This person belongs to me now; you just agreed to that," he stated.
Qi Xiaomian hadn't spoken yet when Yong Huai quickly objected, "No, no! He is a Great Demon who escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower. He cannot be privately owned. We must inform the Demon Subduing Institute and return the demon to the Demon Suppression Tower."
