“Xiang'er, your sister didn't mean to. Can you beg your father to spare her?”
The beautiful woman had never imagined that Yan Xiang would ask Yan Baili to kill her own sister. “She is your own sister, you are both my daughters.”
“Since you say so, what did you do when they were killed?” Chu Lingwei scoffed. She hated it the most when people used blood ties as an excuse to demand tolerance. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The beautiful woman shuddered, unable to speak.
“It seems you don't consider me your daughter either. Then why should I spare my enemies?” Chu Lingwei chuckled. “Where will I be resting?”
“Yan Fei, take Xiang'er back to her courtyard.”
Yan Baili was decisive. With a palm strike, he attacked Yan Qiong and Yan Qi. Before they could even cry out, their bodies disintegrated.
“Qiong'er.” The beautiful woman watched her daughter perish so easily, her body weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.
Chu Lingwei merely glanced at her and, following a demonic cultivator, headed towards her courtyard.
“Xiang'er, you are different now.” Yan Fei walked ahead, not looking back, his voice as light as a gust of wind reaching her ears.
“Should I die again?” Chu Lingwei chuckled. Someone who had already died once would only suffer a worse fate if they didn't learn their lesson.
Yan Fei said nothing more. In his heart, he felt pity for this young girl he had grown up with. If she had been so decisive before, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
“Xiang'er, this is your courtyard. In a month, we will depart for the Demonic Valley,” Yan Fei stopped in front of a courtyard.
“I understand.”
Chu Lingwei nodded and stepped forward. The courtyard gate automatically opened.
“It's really hard for anyone to stay here.”
Everything was in dark tones. Any demonic artifact, spiritual herb, or immortal medicine within would be surrounded by dark demonic energy, emanating a chilling aura even in broad daylight.
“Weiwei, we could have stayed at the inn earlier.” The phantom cat was puzzled. Yan Baili was in need of them, and he would agree to any request Weiwei made.
“Why go back?”
Chu Lingwei’s voice was tinged with anger. Her senior brother had arranged such a new identity for her without her knowledge, and she was still upset about it.
“Senior brother has made Weiwei unhappy again.” The phantom cat was silent for a long time before it understood this.
“Hmph.”
Chu Lingwei snorted and followed the maidservant to her room.
“Miss, this is your room.”
The maidservant led Chu Lingwei to a very ordinary room and said respectfully.
“You may leave.”
Chu Lingwei waved her hand and walked into the room. It looked like a very ordinary room, with no demonic objects, only common furnishings.
“Looking at these furnishings, one can tell my status at home is very low.”
Chu Lingwei sighed. They couldn't even be bothered to put on a pretense.
“Master, if you are not satisfied with this place, we can switch,” Shui Yi glanced around the courtyard. This was likely the Yan family's worst courtyard.
“No need, I'll stay here. For some reason, I feel a special sense of familiarity staying here.” Chu Lingwei chuckled and lay down on the bed. “I'm tired, let me rest for a while.”
Shui Yi withdrew from the room, gently closing the door, and cast a barrier around the courtyard.
“Weiwei, are we really going to the Demonic Valley?” The phantom cat jumped in front of Chu Lingwei. “I just found out that the Demonic Valley is not a good place.”
“Tell me more.”
Yan Baili had gone to such great lengths to find Yan Xiang, which indicated that the Demonic Valley was not a place anyone could enter.
“Not just anyone can enter the Demonic Valley. It seems that only demons, and those with the Heavenly Demonic Physique, can enter.”
The phantom cat had gleaned this information from the thoughts of the demonic cultivators enshrined in the great halls. “The Heavenly Demonic Physique is a type of demonic cultivator that cultivates very quickly. As long as they are allowed to grow, they will all reach the realm of Demonic Venerable.”
“Those who can enter there are not weak,” the phantom cat looked at Chu Lingwei’s current cultivation, which was not very high, indicating that Yan Xiang was not very powerful. “With my current cultivation, I would definitely not come out alive.”
“Then why can only those with the Heavenly Demonic Physique enter?” Chu Lingwei, finding such an interesting place, very much wanted to go and see it.
“I haven't found that out yet,” the phantom cat replied truthfully. He dared not probe Yan Baili’s memories.
“I wonder why Senior Brother insisted that I enter there?”
Chu Lingwei thought of Leng Xingzhi, and her anger surged again. He was truly going too far. This time, she would not forgive him easily.
Half a month later.
“Little junior sister, why aren't you returning to the inn?”
Leng Xingzhi appeared before Chu Lingwei. She had been staying at the Yan family for half a month. During this period, Chu Lingwei’s days were very busy. She roamed the Yan family’s territory every day and within a few days, she was completely familiar with everything here.
“Isn’t this arrangement by Senior Brother?”
Seeing her senior brother appear, the smile on Chu Lingwei’s face turned cold. She casually sat down at a table in the room.
Seeing Weiwei angry, and then looking at Leng Xingzhi, the phantom cat wisely retreated quickly.
“Little junior sister, senior brother didn't mean it that way.” Leng Xingzhi smiled helplessly as he looked at the anger in his junior sister’s eyes. “Senior brother only wants you to go and see the Demonic Valley.”
As expected, he had arranged this identity for her in advance because he wanted her to enter the Demonic Valley.
How detestable.
“Little junior sister, are you angry?” Leng Xingzhi stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Lingwei, lowering his head close to her.
“Senior brother, what are you doing?”
Leng Xingzhi’s enlarged face suddenly appeared before her, startling Chu Lingwei. She immediately stood up and took a step back.
“Weiwei, I’m sorry. Next time, senior brother will definitely ask for your opinion.” Leng Xingzhi believed that as long as he mentioned the Demonic Valley to her, given her personality, she would definitely be willing to go.
“Hmph.”
Chu Lingwei turned around, thinking that such a simple statement to get by was too easy.
“Junior sister, the Demonic Valley opens only once every thousand years. We have accidentally arrived in the Demonic Realm, and it would be a pity not to see it,” Leng Xingzhi continued.
“Lying. Yan Xiang clearly went in before.”
Yan Xiang was only two hundred years old. If she had entered the Demonic Valley, how could the Demonic Valley only open once every thousand years?
“The Demonic Valley does indeed open once every thousand years, but each opening lasts for twenty years, during which people can enter.”
Leng Xingzhi walked up to Chu Lingwei. As long as she was willing to speak to him, it meant she was no longer angry.
“Little junior sister, do you want to hear about the special aspects of the Demonic Valley?” Leng Xingzhi asked again.
