“Chen!”
Si Si smiled as she looked at Qin Chen.
“Si Si!”
Qin Chen embraced her tightly. The two held each other for a long time, with Qin Chen lowering his head and gently gazing at Si Si. After a while, they both burst into laughter.
“Chen, is it really alright for me to appear here like this?”
Si Si cupped Qin Chen's face and said softly.
“It’s fine. Even if someone has doubts, they won’t think you came with me. This trial ground in the Heavenly Realm is extremely formidable. Even a Saint Master’s treasure might not allow others to enter. Only the Qian Kun Transformation Jade Plate is the top-tier spatial treasure capable of connecting to many secret realms in the world. Coupled with the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, it can conceal your aura, allowing me to bring you here.”
Qin Chen smiled, “They might suspect my origins at most, but they won’t suspect that you came with me. Besides, isn’t there Mu Rong Bing Yun providing cover for us?”
“Mu Rong Bing Yun?”
Si Si sighed, “She is also a pitiful woman. Although her mother is Shangguan Xi’er, her mother had to remove the Demon Tribe’s control. Back then, to prevent herself from being controlled by the Demon Tribe, Shangguan Xi’er actually infused all the power controlling her into her infant body. Meeting such a mother is also quite tragic.”
“Pitiful?”
Qin Chen shook his head, “Si Si, you are still too kind. Although she has a sad background, as the Young Mistress of the Miao Miao Palace, she must be aware of the actions of the Miao Miao Palace against the major forces in the Martial Domain. At the very least, she knows about the collaboration between the Miao Miao Palace and the Demon Tribe. Even if she doesn't understand the Demon Tribe's motives, she is still a vested interest. When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.”
“Chen, only you would say I’m kind.”
Si Si laughed, “I was once possessed by demons.”
“And so what if you were possessed?
As long as your heart harbors justice, it doesn’t matter whether you’re righteous or demonic.”
Qin Chen looked at her and said.
“Hmm.”
Si Si nodded vigorously, “I’m now just worried about my master. She was taken into the Demon Realm by the fragment of the Abyss Demon Lord. I wonder how she is doing now.”
“The Illusion Demon Lord?”
Qin Chen was silent for a moment before saying, “Si Si, don’t worry. No matter what, the Illusion Demon Lord entered that Demon Realm door to save us. One day, I will enter the Demon Realm, search for her traces, and rescue her. It’s just to repay her kindness.”
Qin Chen thought of Shangguan Wan'er, and a surge of inexplicable emotions filled his heart.
“Hmm.”
Si Si nodded, holding Qin Chen's hand.
“Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep Brother Zhou and the others waiting too long.”
As Qin Chen spoke, he took Si Si and soared into the sky, arriving at the location where Mu Rong Bing Yun was sealed in a moment.
“Qin Chen, you bastard, you finally returned! Do you know I was almost attacked by those Demon War Yacha... Hmm?
Chen Si Si!”
Seeing Qin Chen, Mu Rong Bing Yun cursed in a flustered manner. The seal that Qin Chen had casually set up earlier was already in ruins. It was evident that Mu Rong Bing Yun had gone through a fierce battle, and the demonic aura surged around the cave. Furthermore, Mu Rong Bing Yun was covered in injuries, revealing her fair skin.
However, her spirit was quite good, and it seemed she had even grown somewhat stronger.
She cursed aloud, but suddenly stopped, looking at Chen Si Si beside Qin Chen in disbelief, her eyes revealing a look of horror.
“How can she be here?”
Mu Rong Bing Yun’s expression was shocked: “Could it be that the terrifying aura earlier was released by her?
Indeed, that earlier terrifying aura contained a hint of demonic essence. Chen Si Si is a disciple of the Illusion Demon Sect, cultivating the Illusion Demon Path. She has become so strong?”
Mu Rong Bing Yun’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. She was a natural spirit body and could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Si Si. That vague aura made her shudder, as if under immense pressure.
