The mountain night was still to the extreme, broken only by the tinuous screams and pleas of Hua Zhi Zi.

  At this moment, the little boy and his father, who had been bound ihe dipidated temple, had already woken up after Hua Zhi Zi’s Blood Demon Art had ended.

  Both of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.

  The boy’s tears stained his already grimy face, but since his mouth was stuffed with something, he could o muffled “uh-uh-uh” sounds.

  His father was in the same dition. His eyes were filled with fusion, and he had no idea what had just happened. But there, in front of him, was his child. The ropes binding him made it impossible for him to move, and he could only wriggle like a worm, ing closer to his son.

  Oher side, Hua Zhi Zi was losing sciousness. Due to the immense loss of physical ability, her broken body had almost no self-healing capacity left.

  “I... I... am I going to die...?”

  Hua Zhi Zi’s gaze gradually dulled. The three-colored flower on her forehead had withered, and her once brilliant blue eyes were now unfocused.

  Feng Yu, seeing this, sheathed his Sword.

  He crouched beside Hua Zhi Zi and carefully observed her state.

  “I didn’t expect you to st this long. I’ve lost t of how many times I’ve swung my Sword.”

  “But the regeive abilities of a demon body are indeed limited. Those who cim infinite regeion probably haven’t the strength to repeatedly shred a demon...”

  The ground was littered with Hua Zhi Zi’s fragmented flesh and blood, creating a se that resembled a battlefield. The air was thick with a ing stench.

  “Do you know why I treated you like this?”

  “Whether you chose to bee a demon or were forced into it and lost your memory, the fact remains: we are on different sides. Besides, I happeo want to test something, so I’m sorry, Miss Demon. You’ve worked hard.”

  Feng Yu smiled.

  “Now, my experiment has yielded results. The sun is almost up, and given your dition, you have no ce of surviving. Do you have anything to say? Or perhaps you could tell me where your kind is, and I’ll send them to hell to keep you pany.”

  Feng Yu’s geone and as seemed far more terrifying to Hua Zhi Zi than any demon’s curse.

  “You... you... you’re the true demon... you’re the devil...”

  Tears streamed down Hua Zhi Zi’s face as she gred at Feng Yu with hatred, but soon, she fell silent.

  “Looks like... it’s really time for me to die...”

  Just before death, memories of her time before being a demon suddenly flooded back.

  Hua Zhi Zi’s tears poured out untrolbly, as she muttered, “Sorry... sorry, Shan Qi...”

  “The flowers you gave me... they were so beautiful...”

  “They smelled so nice...”

  A streak of light appeared on the distant horizon. Then, Hua Zhi Zi’s body began to turn to ashes.

  “Zhi Zi, when you grow up, you must bey wife!”

  “Alright, Shan Qi...”

  “Zhi Zi, look, these flowers are so beautiful. You’ll be the most beautiful girl wearing them on your head...”

  The boy from Hua Zhi Zi’s memory picked three flowers of different colors and pced them in her hair, and Hua Zhi Zi smiled with happiness.

  Warm sunlight bathed the two of them, like a pair of divine lovers.

  But that night, everything ged. Red, everywhere was red. Hua Zhi Zi saw the boy who once promised to marry her, now lifeless. She wao die and plunged a ko her stomach, thinking that this would allow her to join her beloved boy ih.

  In the final memory, Hua Zhi Zi opened her eyes again, her body filled with power. The boy she once loved had been swallowed by her. From that moment on, a demon flower demon was born into this world.

  “So... it was me...”

  “Shan Qi... did you e to take me...?”

  “We finally be together now...”

  “Let’s never be apart again...”

  Hua Zhi Zi’s body finally turo ash in the sunlight.

  “Ding, gratutions on obtaining 50,000 Sword Swings.”

  Hearing the system’s notification, Feng Yu khat Hua Zhi Zi, this demon, had been sin. He also noticed the faint smile Hua Zhi Zi had shown in her final moments and had an inkling of what had happened.

  “It’s just different sides of the same …”

  With that, Feng Yu left the se auro the dipidated temple, untangling the ropes from the boy and his father.

  The two of them immediately embraced each other.

  “Father... you’re finally... finally awake... oo.”

  “I’m sorry, child... you’ve been through so much...”

  Feng Yu didn’t interrupt their heartfelt reunion. After sending them on their way, he remained alone iemple.

  The ground was covered with clothes. One could only imagine hoeople Hua Zhi Zi had devoured over the past half-month.

  “Man makes his own fate... one whs destru upon themselves ot escape it…”

  Feng Yu muttered to himself.

  The fire to the eemple.

  Thick bck smoke rose into the sky, and Feng Yu’s expression was unusually cold.

  At this moment, Xiao Bai jumped out from behind a box. It seemed like it sehe anger in Feng Yu’s heart and licked his hand with its tongue.

  “It’s okay, Xiao Bai. I just didn’t expect that someone, a human no less, could do something like this...” Feng Yu sighed, reag out to pet Xiao Bai’s soft fur, but then froze in surprise.

  “Ding, ask released.”

  Feng Yu carefully examihe two tasks and a smile of delight spread across his face.

  “The system’s got my back! This really is a solution to my immediate problems. My breathing teique and martial arts have reached a pteau, and I ’t see the stage... This simution fun came just in time…”

  “If my Sword Swings are suffit, does that mean... the Breath of Water rea even higher level...?”

  “Perhaps by then, I’ll be strong enough to rival the Pilrs...”

  Feng Yu lifted Xiao Bai and squeezed it in his arms.

  “Xiao Bai, you’re really my lucky star!”

  Xiao Bai, not uanding the situation, simply sensed Feng Yu’s joy and chirped happily.

  “Ying ying ying~”

  “Hahaha!”

  The duo, one person and one fox, ughed together in the mountains.

  Meanwhile, elsewhere... someone was about to meet their misfortune…
