urthermore, ever since Xiaoning left Ping Yang Town and joined Ji Yaoxue in Azure Frost Sect, she had not met with Su Hong again.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.

The reason why Xiaoning started her path of cultivation and focused wholeheartedly on elixir refinement, even joining Elixir Yang Sect, was because she wanted to extend Su Hong’s lifespan!

It would be best if Xiaoning had a way of extending Su Hong’s lifespan by the time they met.

“Have you really made up your mind to leave?”

Demoness Ji could not conceal her disappointment and murmured softly with a dim gaze, “What about me- I mean my sister…”

Su Zimo was silent.

“She knows you so well.
If even I can recognize you, she must have recognized you long ago.”

Demoness Ji sighed gently.
“It’s just that she understands you and knows that you’ve got your difficulties.
That’s the reason why she did not force or expose you.”

“It’s good that she recognized me.
At least she knows that I’m alive and doesn’t have to worry,” Su Zimo replied.

After a moment of silence, he continued, “After you return, pay more attention to those around her.
Now that she’s the empress, her movements should be kept secret.
I suspect that the ambush she met here meant that there’s someone that doesn’t want her to return alive!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help my sister.”

Silence ensued between the both of them.

Demoness Ji did not say anything and merely looked at Su Zimo quietly.

A long time later, he said softly, “Go on back.”


“Take… care then.”

Demoness Ji was dejected and her eyes were swollen and red.

A moment later, she sniffed and forced a smile before faking a smile.
“Let’s have a final hug as a farewell.”

Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Heading forward, he hugged Demoness Ji in a gentlemanly manner.

A crafty look flashed through Demoness Ji’s eyes as she tilted her head and pecked Su Zimo on the cheek with her red lips gently.

He was stunned.

Her hair brushed by his face and he was overwhelmed by a fragrance – she had already turned and fled.

“Hehehe!”

She laughed and her eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons.
She was elated without any bit of dejection at all.

“Damned demoness!”

Su Zimo grit his teeth.

“You’re so stupid!”

Demoness Ji made a funny face at Su Zimo with disdain in her eyes, pouting her lips.
“If you want to leave, go ahead! I can’t care less!”

“You took advantage of me in that stone coffin, there’s no way I’m going to let you off! Hmph! I merely just collected a little bit of interest!” Demoness Ji waved her fist.

Su Zimo did not say anything and turned to leave.

With his back facing Demoness Ji, he did not see the sadness and reluctance in the depths of her eyes.

Even after he vanished at the edge of the ruins, a girl in pink stood alone gazing in his direction for the longest time.

Su Zimo returned to the old temple and pushed the doors through.


The little monk, Ming Zhen, was reciting sutras in the courtyard.
When he saw Su Zimo, he exclaimed softly with surprise.

“Junior Brother, you’re injured?”

Ming Zhen asked.

“I’m fine.”

In this short period of time, the wound on his chest that was pierced by the sword had already recovered.

With a grim expression, Ming Zhen advanced and glared at Su Zimo’s cheek, even sniffing it.
“This is bad! You’ve got two red marks on your cheeks that have a fragrance! Junior Brother, you’re poisoned!”

That was the imprint of Demoness Ji’s lips that Su Zimo forgot to wipe.
At the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley, Ming Zhen had not even seen a woman before, let alone know what it was.

Su Zimo’s expression darkened as he pushed Ming Zhen’s bald head away, saying in a huff, “Bullsh*t!”

He wiped away the imprint on his cheek as he dashed into the Sutra Chamber.

Ming Zhen looked at his master who had just appeared from the doors in confusion and asked with an earnest expression, “Master, why is junior brother angry?”

“Erm… ”

The old monk replied, “He might… be poisoned.”

“See, I was right! He didn’t believe me!” Ming Zhen pouted his lips.
