"Why did that crow come to Wu Garden, to watch over me?"
"The Demon Realm has always been restless, fond of stirring up trouble and doing evil deeds."
"Even though the Demon Lord turned to ashes and there was no leader left, they still haven’t changed their ways—full of ambition, doing whatever they please. They don’t know the meaning of restraint and from time to time, they run off to the Netherworld to cause a scene." These things she had learned from her little friends.
She had no choice, as her Clan Leader grandmother forbade her from knowing these things, fearing she might naughtily cause trouble—
Brother Ye Qi wouldn’t tell her either, so she could only turn to her little friends for some understanding—
"Do the other realms not care?"
"Well, it’s tough to get involved because the Demon Realm only likes to go to the Netherworld to pick fights. I guess it’s a personal vendetta, so the other realms don’t interfere. Besides, creatures from the Demon Realm are born continuously and are extremely difficult to handle. Among the Six Realms, the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm hold the greatest power; they’re formidable and not to be underestimated."
"But I do find it strange. You say that it’s been a thousand years since the Demon Lord turned to ashes, and yet they have no interest in electing a new Demon Lord to take control of the situation. Instead, they’re always causing trouble, as if they’re idle with nothing better to do."
"Now they’ve even reached out to your Human Realm, surely harboring ill intentions. They must be plotting against the Human Realm and need someone to lead the way, so..." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Wen Xiao’ai said, blinking at Jun Moyan, the implication clear.
"So, they have their sights set on me?"
"Most likely, but you don’t have to worry. The Six Realms coexist, and if the Demon Realm really harbors ill intentions against your Human Realm, the other four realms will not just stand by and watch."
"And..." Wen Xiao’ai added, once again looking to Jun Moyan, wrapping her arms around his neck, and cheerfully saying, "I’m here for you, I will protect you, just like you protect me."
Jun Moyan smiled and raised his hand to gently touch her little head.
His heavy heart suddenly felt much lighter.
"By the way, Xiaoguai, do you have any way to find that crow?"
The crow’s location should be where Ais’s backup hides, or even the lair of the Baiming Sect Leader.
Wen Xiao’ai shook her head: "I really can’t do that. If you had me summon a couple of Yin Soldiers from the Netherworld to play, that I could handle. But for Blood Crow, except for the people of the Demon Realm, no one else can find it."
This Ghost Controlling Technique, she had also learned from her little friends. When she first summoned a ghost, it was quite amusing to her.
But... the very next day Brother Ye Qi found out, and she was given a stern talking–to.
Afterwards, when she tried to learn more from her little friends, they refused to teach her and wouldn’t discuss anything about the Netherworld or Demon Realm anymore. Once the Clan Leader grandmother found out, she also forbade them from practicing, saying such things were not good to learn.
Wen Xiao’ai didn’t care at all. If they refused to teach her, she would figure it out on her own. She even stumbled upon learning the Technique of Yin by accident.
She summoned over a thousand Yin Soldiers and almost scared herself to death.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of those Yin Soldiers, but rather, she was afraid the Clan Leader grandmother would find out.
Fortunately, in the end, she managed to send all the Yin Soldiers back.
Then, when she practiced these techniques, she went to Qin Mountain to practice in secret—
Jun Moyan felt a twinge of disappointment: "But it’s probably for the best that you can’t find it. If they really want to collaborate with me, to use me, letting them know about your existence would definitely bring you harm too."
Jun Moyan was once again worryingly fond of Wen Xiao’ai.
"My mana is not what it should be right now. I indeed need to be cautious, but don’t worry, I can take care of myself."
"So, from now on, don’t use that mana. In the Human Realm, I can protect you."
