The people of the Sheng Yu family had never seen such a terrifying person.
The Evil King was incredibly cold-blooded, and within a single breath, he was about to take the lives of the entire group from the Saintess family.
He stood high above, landing alone in mid-air.
Below him, blood flowed like a river. The people of the Saintess family were all pale with terror. They retreated in a panic, fearing that this person would go berserk again and directly end their lives.
They dared not utter a single word, their arrogant demeanor completely gone.
All that remained was fear.
Fear of being beheaded, fear of becoming a vengeful spirit.
Fear that this so-called Evil King would pierce their hearts with his hand.
The Evil King glanced at the blood on his fingers, inhaling the nauseating scent.
Instantly, his killing intent dissipated.
He cursed under his breath, "Stupid people, truly disgusting."
With that, he flung open the cloak on his back, his figure rapidly transforming into an afterimage, carrying the scent of blood as he quickly departed.
Seeing the Evil King's figure finally leave,
Everyone on the scene collapsed to the ground. They began to weep, hugging themselves tightly, trembling with fear.
Because before them!
Were their fathers, their mothers, their kin.
But now, they were all dead!
The Evil King left the area with his subordinates. Those behind him did not quite understand.
"Your Highness Evil King, why didn't you kill all these foolish people, to let the world see what such hypocritical beings should endure?"
The Evil King paid no heed to the subordinate. He suddenly caught the lingering scent of blood on himself and quickly discarded his cloak.
Gu Yi disliked these smells. If he caught this scent, he would likely call him smelly again.
In just a moment, their figures had landed a thousand meters away.
Just then, they saw a familiar figure.
Gu Yi's face was etched with anxiety. He was dressed in white, staggering as he approached from a distance, calling out the Evil King's name.
Upon seeing this person, the gloom on the Evil King's face rapidly vanished.
He used his internal power to expel the scent from his body.
Then, with a gentle expression, he quickly strode forward, taking two steps at a time.
He pulled the man into his embrace, his fingertips lightly brushing Gu Yi's nose. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Hmm?"
Gu Yi's nose was extremely sensitive.
Even though the Evil King had deliberately dispelled the scent, he could still detect something peculiar.
He pouted, fanning his nose with his hand, his small face furrowed. "What were you just doing? You reek of blood."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.
He quickly asked with concern, "Did something really happen to my sister?"
He quickly looked behind him. Apart from the Evil King's subordinates, there was no one else.
Before the Evil King could even speak, Gu Yi's heart sank.
In an instant, tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt a profound sadness.
"Weren't you going to save her? Why is there no news? Say something."
The Evil King conjured a cloak with his power and draped it over Gu Yi's back. His tone was tinged with helplessness. "Don't panic. I was just avenging your sister."
"Why are you crying like this again? You can rest assured, they are fine for now."
The Evil King felt immense tenderness. He used his fingertip to wipe away the few tears from Gu Yi's eyes and gently pinched Gu Yi's slightly red nose.
"Look at you, you just love to cry."
Gu Yi looked slightly wronged, clenching his small fists and rubbing them against the Evil King's chest.
"It's because you didn't tell me, making me worry for nothing. If they're fine, then I'll be relieved."
The Evil King immediately felt jealous. "If you say it like that, it doesn't sound good. I went through so much trouble to save your sister, and I was also exhausted. Yet, you don't care about me and are only concerned about your sister. If that's the case, I feel resentful."
Gu Yi quickly fell into his embrace, his voice small and weak, sounding exceptionally gentle.
"Your Highness Evil King, I didn't mean it like that!"
He felt the Evil King's body growing colder and suddenly realized the cloak was on his back.
Gu Yi was extremely worried. He quickly took off the cloak and placed it on the Evil King.
"Your Highness Evil King, let's go back to the carriage first."
The Evil King clasped Gu Yi's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined. His icy expression finally softened into a smile.
The two returned to the carriage.
Gu Yi felt a great sense of regret for not having seen Gu Qianying.
"I haven't seen her in a long time either. In the past five years, with two children lost, I had no time to attend to them. Now that I've finally met her, who would have thought such a thing would happen."
"Are they truly alright?"
The Evil King didn't know where to begin. There was nothing good in that forbidden area.
However, Gu Qianying and the others were not to be underestimated.
Although injured, they would only need a moment to recover.
To be precise,
Among this group, apart from Bai Yu Feng, who was a cripple, the rest of them, when pitted against those things, did not need to worry about anyone.
As Gu Yi recalled past events, he felt that time had passed like a fleeting moment, happening too quickly for him to grasp.
His eyes welled up with tears again, and he didn't know what to say.
The Evil King sighed, then rushed forward, constantly wiping Gu Yi's tears. "Don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, I will be extremely heartbroken."
"Do you want me to cry with you?"
The Evil King was extremely doting. While comforting Gu Yi, he raised his arm as if to cry.
After this series of events,
Gu Yi's sorrowful heart instantly vanished.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and let out a suppressed laugh. "Your Highness Evil King, you look so funny like this."
The Evil King pulled him into his embrace and sighed.
"As long as you don't cry with sadness, I can do anything. Be good, don't cry."
"In a few more days, I'll send people to search the surrounding areas. Because the aura within is contrary to our demonic aura, I cannot draw conclusions at the moment. We can only proceed with caution."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi immediately became flustered.
Although he wanted to see Gu Qianying, he also didn't want the Evil King to get hurt.
He quickly grabbed the Evil King's arm and said with a wronged expression, "If you dare to take risks, I will never forgive you!"
"Do you understand?"
The Evil King looked somewhat helpless. He held the soft body in his embrace tightly.
"Alright, alright. Your temper is becoming more and more willful, and even I can't do anything about you. I have something to give you."
The Evil King suddenly produced a pastry from behind him. He had obtained it from the Sheng Yu family. Gu Yi had mentioned liking it a few days ago, but he hadn't had time to buy it. Seeing it there today, he picked it up, intending to appease Gu Yi.
The moment Gu Yi saw it, he let out a cry of surprise and quickly took the item into his hands, his happiness unreserved.
"Your Highness Evil King, you're too good!"
The Evil King smiled and said, "It's nothing. As long as you like it."
