The young boy saw that Wen Xiao’ai was unharmed and immediately ran to her side.
However, he saw Wen Xiao’ai looking warily at the man who saved her, clearly ready for action.
The boy looked at the man who had also landed on the ground but was struggling to stand after being struck by Wen Xiao’ai, and asked her in confusion:
"Sister, he saved you, why did you hurt him?"
"He’s from the Demon Realm; he tried to kill me before and nearly caused me to go into qi deviation. This scoundrel finally showed himself."
This person’s aura couldn’t be wrong.
She recognized him at once; he was definitely the owner of that wretched bird.
If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have suffered that piercing pain and almost been taken advantage of by that villain Jun Wuyang...
"It’s not like that, Yingying, I didn’t know that person was you before, it wasn’t intentional."
The man, in a hurry, instinctively took a step forward to explain, but Wen Xiao’ai warily took a step back.
This defensive movement from Wen Xiao’ai made the man dare not step forward again.
The man, standing still, covered his chest which had been severely injured by Wen Xiao’ai, looking at her mournfully.
"It’s not that, Yingying, I truly didn’t know that person was you, and I certainly didn’t mean to hurt you." Orıginal content can be found at novèlfire.net
How could he ever hurt her? It really wasn’t intentional.
He also didn’t know that someone had placed restrictions within her; he didn’t mean to cause her to go into qi deviation.
"Yingying? Who is Yingying?"
Wen Xiao’ai frowned, looking at the man in complete bewilderment.
It seemed like that day, when this person cast his spiritual consciousness on that wretched bird trying to kill her, he also called this name.
Then, bizarrely... he let her go?
No, he later took her by surprise and infused demonic qi into her body, causing her much harm.
That wisp of demonic qi was exactly the same as his aura; she wasn’t wronging him.
Although she didn’t know how she suddenly got better afterward, this person definitely had no good intentions.
Not only towards her, but also towards Jun Moyan and the entire Human Realm.
That Baiming Sect known for its heinous deeds, and also that Ais, were all in league with this scoundrel.
The man realized belatedly that in his urgency, he had accidentally called her name.
Facing Wen Xiao’ai, who couldn’t even remember him, he couldn’t even say a word of explanation.
Tell her that she’s not a Cat Demon Clan princess but the Immortal Realm’s Shang Ying Immortal, his Yingying.
That he wasn’t an evil person, but the Demon Realm’s Demon Lord Nie Jiuque, and they were lovers a thousand years ago?
She simply wouldn’t believe it.
Because of the darkness, and with the man wearing a black cloak, Wen Xiao’ai couldn’t see the struggle and sorrow in his eyes at all.
She was just waiting for his explanation for calling her Yingying, but the man suddenly exclaimed:
Wen Xiao’ai was startled and dodged Wu Zhihan’s strike, immediately counterattacking.
The man didn’t hesitate either and helped Wen Xiao’ai fight against Wu Zhihan together.
Wen Xiao’ai initially thought this man intended to fight her, but unexpectedly, he helped her instead.
What is wrong with this person, attacking her one moment and saving her the next?
Though he was a Demon Lord, he now had a mortal body, and to save Wen Xiao’ai earlier, he was severely depleted of Vital Energy. Just now, he was also injured by Wen Xiao’ai. Moreover, being in the Human Realm, both their mana was suppressed, so even though they joined forces, they could only fight to a standstill with Wu Zhihan.
After about a hundred moves, the man also became puzzled.
How could a mere vengeful ghost be so powerful?
