What demon beast’s cry? Yan Qi’s expression was ugly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and threw her ashore.
“That’s right. There is a demon beast here that eats people. So, if you don’t want to die, you’d better leave this place Quickly.”
However, he had forgotten that MO Yunnian had never been afraid of demonic beasts since she was young. When she heard that there was a demon beast, she was exceptionally excited and looked like she wanted to watch a show.
Therefore, Yan Qi’s words could not intimidate her.
“Then where is it? Is it hiding in the water? I want to see it!”
“You…”
Yan Qi felt that he had spent all his patience on this young lady.
He could not bear to hurt her at all. Every time he spoke coldly to her and said those nasty words, he felt even worse than she did.
“Brother Yan Qi, what kind of demon beast is it? Why aren’t you willing to show it to me? If it’s a demon beast in the water, could it be a snake? A giant python? A big fish? Or a big turtle!”
“Neither! Don’t make wild guesses! That demon beast has already run away.
There’s a secret passage under the black pool…”
Yan Qi’s expression turned even uglier. After all, no one liked to be called a big turtle. He could only stop her from continuing and had no choice but to make up a story to coax her out of this place.
“It’s already gone?”
The little girl widened her eyes and revealed a slightly disappointed expression.
Yan Qi replied, “Yes, it’s already gone. So, there’s no need for you to wait here. You can leave now.”
Nio Yunnian had come to investigate his secrets, but if she left now, she would not be able to find anything!
“Will it come back, then? I’ll wait here until it does.’
As she spoke, she sat on the shore and swung her legs wantonly.
From the looks of it, she was not planning to leave.
Although Yan Qi looked fine on the surface, the situation was not good.
He had been avoiding her not because he really hated her, but because he had his own difficulties.
When news of her disappearance spread to the East Continent, Yan Qi was very worried. He knew that he was weak, but he still wanted to do his best to find her.
Thus, he left the East Continent Imperial City.
The five countries were so big that he did not know where to look for her.
Later on, he thought of the ghoul bloodline in his body and returned to the ghoul clan to think of a way.
He remembered that the ghouls had a Heavenly Stone and had read many
records about the ghouls in ancient books. He knew that the ghouls were different from ordinary people and might be able to find some possibilities.
After returning to the ghoul clan, he took an extremely short time to control the power of the ghoul clan.
From the elders of the ghoul clan, he found out the location of the forbidden cave of the ghoul clan. Hence, he went to the cave to search for the Heavenly Stone. He wanted to obtain the mysterious and powerful power from the Heavenly Stone so that he could find Sweetcake.
Yan Qi had not thought too much about it back then. His only goal was to find that cute little packrat.
After entering the cave, he realized that the Heavenly Stone had already been destroyed.
He stayed there for three whole days without obtaining any power.
Just as he was about to leave the cave, he was bitten by a red bug. The bug burrowed into his body, causing his body to change.
On the night of the full moon, he would lose control and become a bloodthirsty monster!
He tried everything he could to get the bug out, but he never succeeded. Therefore, he had no choice but to leave them without saying goodbye..
