Su Mengmeng felt a sweet sense of comfort. "Brother Yunjin, I really have to handle this myself. I'm just a little girl who doesn't understand much; if I cry and throw a tantrum, it will all blow over. If you get involved, it will only complicate things."
Without waiting for Zhou Yunjin's agreement, she opened the door and stepped outside, making sure to close it behind her.
Zhou Yunjin found himself alone with the humanoid Xiao Hei, feeling somewhat awkward. "Tomorrow, I will send you back to the mountains. Please don't hold it against me; it's just the way things are. I will leave you some money. Now that you can take on human form, if you want anything or feel like eating something, you can go to the city and buy it yourself."
Listening to Zhou Yunjin's optimistic ramblings, Xiao Hei couldn't muster a smile. It felt like this matter was far from over and interrupted him. "Zhou Yunjin, more than a decade ago, you saved my life. But over these years on the battlefield, I've saved you plenty of times too. So let's consider us even."
"Are you angry? Although we can't be together all the time in the future, I will still come to see you often."
"Zhou Yunjin, do you really believe Su Mengmeng's words? She wants to kill me!"
"Xiao Hei, perhaps this is a misunderstanding."
"Look at you; you can't even bear to look at me when you speak. Deep down, do you really believe this is all a misunderstanding? Su Mengmeng just left; she must have other plans. My time is running out, and I'm not willing to accept it. Zhou Yunjin, if I try to escape, will you stop me?"
Zhou Yunjin opened and closed his mouth several times before finally sighing. "You..."
But just then, loud noises from outside grew closer.
Xiao Hei forced a bitter smile. "Forget it."
No sooner had he spoken than the door was kicked open by a burly figure with a fierce expression.
"Wang Dachui?"
Su Mengmeng had indeed stirred up trouble by bringing in Wang Dachui, who was hot-tempered and single-minded. He had a close relationship with Xiao Hei and often disregarded Zhou Yunjin's strict orders to buy alcohol and sneak off to drink with him.
Following closely behind him were several others who also had a strong bond with Xiao Hei.
"Su Mengmeng really knows how to stir up trouble!"
As soon as they entered the room, they wasted no time talking and lunged forward.
With everyone watching, Zhou Yunjin couldn't intervene as Xiao Hei was already labeled as a traitor. He could only watch anxiously as events unfolded.
Feeling the bitterness in his heart, Xiao Hei decisively shattered half of his demon form and forcefully broke through the drug barrier in the military camp, escaping with his injured body.
He had intended to hide deep in the mountains to avoid disaster but never expected that Su Mengmeng had left behind a backup plan—a high-level tracking talisman that had been stuck on him without his knowledge. No matter how hard he tried to shake it off, he couldn't escape from the relentless pursuers behind him. Thus, Xiao Hei found himself inadvertently getting closer and closer to Jingjing City.
Sang Qingxiao moved her fingertip away from Xiao Hei's brow and tilted her head to see the tracking talisman on his neck. With a touch of her fingertip, the talisman shattered.
"Will you be my Spirit Familiar?"
Xiao Hei rejected the offer without a second thought, unwilling to accept. But deep down, there was a yearning for life, a strong desire to exist. If only he could become my Spirit Familiar, he would not only live but thrive.
"You would have more freedom," Sang Qingxiao said calmly, unhurried. "In Jingjing City, I own a Small Tavern where you would only need to help manage it. The rest of your time would be yours to do as you please."
"Do you see that monk behind you who tried to stop you? He has quite the reputation. Have you heard of the Leopard Demon Lizu? He is also my Spirit Familiar now. He works as the chef in my Small Tavern and cooks exceptionally well."
"Is that Misha?"
