The Yuxi found it quite amusing to hear his thoughts.
However, Zhong Xian was completely oblivious to the Yuxi's unusual behavior. She felt as if her emotions had frozen, and she coughed before quickly removing her cloak and wrapping it tightly around him.
"Be careful, don't get cold."
The Yuxi hurriedly looked up. "Your hands are freezing too."
He kept shifting his feet, as if suppressing some emotion. "I'm not cold."
"Half-Demon, I really want to kiss you to death." Zhong Xian cheered inwardly but feigned indifference on the surface, humming lightly. "Stop worrying about others all the time. Instead of wasting time on that, you should think more about yourself."
The Yuxi listened in a daze to Zhong Xian's words. She had never dared to keep good things for herself before. With a hint of nervous seriousness, she asked, "If I keep the good things for myself, would you think I'm being selfish?"
"Of course you should keep the good things for yourself. Why should you give them to others? Who taught you such foolishness?"
The Yuxi fell silent for a long time, feeling an urge to cry that she couldn't suppress.
Fragments of memories flooded back as she clutched the hem of Zhong Xian's clothing, tears silently spilling out.
Zhong Xian's pupils widened in shock. Were his words really that heavy? How did he make the Half-Demon cry? What should he do?
How does one comfort a child?
Zhong Xian stiffly raised his hand and gently patted the Yuxi's back. "Don't cry anymore."
The Yuxi didn't want Zhong Xian to worry further. She struggled to hold back the tears that were about to spill again. "I'm not crying anymore."
Zhong Xian was pondering what to say when he saw the Yuxi seemingly make a decision and dive into his embrace, planting a kiss on his chin.
"Is this how I please you?" She often felt shy and embarrassed.
Her actions should be considered a way to please Zhong Xian.
To his surprise, after the kiss, Zhong Xian was left in a daze. The next moment, a deafening scream echoed in the Yuxi's mind, "I didn't expect to die; he must be trying to kill me."
"I didn't mean to bully you." The Yuxi wanted to explain but didn't know how to start, while Zhong Xian pretended to be profound as he finally spoke.
"You did well, Half-Demon. When we return to the Demon Clan, you can choose anything of mine."
The Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief; this method of pleasing him seemed successful. "My name is Yuxi, with 'Xi' from 'Morning Light.'"
Zhong Xian paused for a moment and raised an eyebrow. " Xiao Xi'er, I am Zhong Xian. Remember that."
The journey ahead went smoothly until Zhong Xian arrived at a city, where he was met with an overwhelming sense of eerie energy.
It was evident that there were demonic cultivators within the city. Zhong Xian found it strange; there shouldn't be any other demonic cultivators in this area besides him. Setting up such a large sacrificial ghost formation didn't seem like something scattered cultivators would do.
He touched the barrier enveloping the city and confirmed that there was indeed a problem; the demonic energy contained within the barrier was not pure.
Who is pretending to be part of the Demon Clan and harming others here?
The Yuxi froze upon seeing the name of the city gate: Hezhou City.
In her past life, she had heard of Hezhou City, which had been one of the most bustling cities a few years ago. However, one day, the Half-Demon Zhong Xian invaded Hezhou City and sacrificed the citizens for cultivation, leaving no survivors. The resentment from this incident lingered for years.
The world despised Zhong Xian's cruel actions, and the Five Great Sects united to hunt him down for decades, ultimately forcing him into a corner where he chose to take his own life.
But now, it seemed that the truth was not as it appeared. Could it be that someone framed Zhong Xian for the tragedy in Hezhou City?
As the Yuxi pondered this, he saw Zhong Xian calmly push open the door of a shop.
Along the way, he hadn't seen a single person, yet inside the shop lay a crowd of people on the ground.
Everyone in the city was locked inside their homes, their faces shrouded in thick black energy, completely motionless.
" Xiao Xi'er, do you intend to save these people? Our demon clan never saves anyone unless the benefits are enticing enough."
"As long as the benefits are sufficient, we can save them?" The Yuxi felt a spark of understanding but still asked, "If you save them, will you get hurt?"
Zhong Xian was taken aback. He recognized the Yuxi's soft-heartedness and understood that he was worried about the ordinary people in this city. Therefore, if the Yuxi requested him to take action, he could demand that the young master become his personal servant.
However, he never expected that the first thing the Yuxi would say was concern for him.
She must really be an idiot, right?
