"Xiang'er, I am your father."
Before Yan Baili could finish speaking, Shui Yi had already thrown him out of the restaurant and followed him out.
"What's going on?"
Chu Lingwei's gaze swept towards the shopkeeper. Why hadn't he come out to help?
"Chu Lingwei, forgive me. These are the young master's orders. This humble one dares not disobey."
The shopkeeper's face tightened, and he immediately apologized to Chu Lingwei.
"When will Senior Brother be back?" Chu Lingwei was angered by her Senior Brother's arrangement of such an identity for her. She detested others making arrangements for her the most.
"I don't know."
"Good."
Chu Lingwei walked out of the restaurant. Shui Yi had already beaten Yan Baili to the ground, leaving him on the verge of death.
"Father, do you think this kind of reunion is good?" Chu Lingwei walked in front of Yan Baili, looking down at him. "How about this, you find out those who harmed me, and we'll still be father and daughter."
"Yan Xiang, you..." Yan Baili was so angry with his daughter that he almost died. How dare she have him injured like this?
"Since you are unwilling, I will find them myself."
Chu Lingwei let out a soft哼, turned her head, and looked at the demon soldiers kneeling beside her. "Let's go, we're going back."
Shui Yi and Huan Mao were surprised when they heard Chu Lingwei's words.
"Wei Wei, why are you going back with him?" Huan Mao was extremely anxious. This was the demon realm, full of dangers. "No, you are not his daughter. You cannot go back with him."
"What are you afraid of? I just want to see how Yan Family demon cultivators differ from the cultivators of Xuantian Continent."
Chu Lingwei turned her head and glanced at the Leng family restaurant. The shopkeeper had not come out.
"Xiang'er, you are willing to go back with us?" Yan Baili struggled to get up, his eyes filled with disbelief. Why had she suddenly changed her mind?
"If I don't go back, how can I get revenge?" Chu Lingwei chuckled softly, staring into Yan Baili's eyes. "Since you, as a father, are unwilling to avenge your daughter, I can only do it myself."
Yan Baili's body froze. After a moment of silence, he said, "Home."
"Master, Yan Baili deliberately suppressed his cultivation. Otherwise, I would not have been able to injure him in such a short time." Shui Yi protected Chu Lingwei closely behind her. Yan Baili was not as weak as he appeared now.
"Hmm, so I am even more curious as to why they are so insistent on acknowledging a daughter back."
Chu Lingwei replied indifferently. Her Senior Brother arranging such an identity for her was probably also to let her follow Yan Baili and the others back to the Yan family.
A demon cultivator's family. Since she was here, she might as well go back and take a look.
"Wei Wei, let's not go. It's definitely dangerous here." Huan Mao was about to cry. He couldn't use his barrier here all the time. If he did, he would definitely be discovered.
"I know."
Chu Lingwei hugged Huan Mao into her arms, gently stroking his back. "Don't worry, if there's danger, we'll leave early."
Yan Family of Demon Cultivators.
"Xiang'er, you're finally back."
As soon as Chu Lingwei entered a demon dwelling, a beautiful woman with red eyes rushed towards her, crying. "Xiang'er, it's all mother's fault for letting you suffer."
"You are indeed not good. You only cry when you see your daughter being harmed to death."
Chu Lingwei gently pushed away the beautiful woman and glanced at Yan Qiong, Yan Qi, and several young demon cultivators standing behind her. Their gazes towards her were complicated.
Upon hearing Chu Lingwei's words, the beautiful woman trembled violently, her tears about to fall but not falling, leaving her at a loss.
"Let's go inside."
Yan Baili's eyes were filled with doubt. His daughter, who was always silent before, why did she have such a strong aura of malevolence?
"Xiang'er, let's go in quickly." The beautiful woman reached out to pull Chu Lingwei, but was blocked.
"Stay away from me, all of you. I'm afraid I might kill you."
Chu Lingwei particularly liked one thing about the demon realm: strength was determined by martial prowess, and killing was not illegal here.
Hearing this, the beautiful woman's legs went weak. Fortunately, Yan Baili caught her in time. "Xiang'er, she is your mother."
"She is not."
Chu Lingwei walked into the main hall by herself, found a chair, and sat down. "Speak, what is the matter with calling me back?"
"Xiang'er, do you no longer recognize me as your mother?" The beautiful woman dared not approach, her every word filled with endless pain.
"Do you know who harmed me?"
Silence filled the room. Even the beautiful woman stopped crying.
"Since you all know I was harmed, yet you..." Chu Lingwei did not finish speaking. After all, she did not know Yan Xiang's current situation, so she did not say everything.
The beautiful woman, hearing the unfinished words, cried even louder. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Xiang'er, we couldn't do anything either."
"Yan Xiang, it was you who willingly went, and now you blame us." Yan Qi stepped forward in anger, wishing he could strike her dead.
"What are you? Stay away from me." Chu Lingwei disliked Yan Qi immensely. His gaze made her sick.
"You..." Yan Qi was furious. When had Yan Xiang ever treated him like this?
Shui Yi stepped forward, and demonic energy gathered in her palm. Yan Qi's face stiffened. He snorted heavily, turned, and retreated.
"Tell me, why did you call me back?"
Chu Lingwei looked at Yan Baili. Since entering, his eyes had been filled with determination.
"Xiang'er, since you escaped from that place once, you should be able to escape twice." Yan Baili's gaze at Chu Lingwei was not like looking at a daughter, but more like looking at a piece of merchandise.
So, this was their purpose.
"Don't you know I lost my memory and can't remember anything from before? Just tell me from the beginning." Chu Lingwei was too lazy to play along. She wanted to hear what secrets the Yan family had. If it was interesting, she might even try it.
"Follow me."
Yan Baili stood up and led Chu Lingwei towards the back of the main hall.
"I need to go to the Demonic Valley."
Yan Baili looked at the seven-colored divine flower in front of him. "Xiang'er, you are the daughter of the Yan family, and you must bear our Yan family's responsibility. If we cannot obtain the holy water, our seven-colored divine flower will become a six-colored divine flower, and our Yan family will disappear into obscurity in the demon realm."
"Didn't you send me to that place once, Nisang?"
Chu Lingwei's mind was filled with the Demonic Valley. What kind of place was this?
"Xiang'er, the Demonic Valley is a place that all demon cultivators wish to enter. You can come out alive after entering, which means there is your destiny within it." Yan Baili's expression was anxious. No one in their Yan family could enter the Demonic Valley, only Yan Xiang could.
Therefore, whether she was willing or not, she had to go.
Chu Lingwei did not speak. Even if she had amnesia, she would not be ignorant of the Demonic Valley. If she asked too many questions, it might arouse suspicion.
"Xiang'er, as long as you are willing to enter the Demonic Valley, whatever conditions you have, father will agree to them." Yan Baili saw Chu Lingwei's silence and threw out a tempting offer.
