"Sister, when do you start your demoness competition?" Xiaoyao suddenly asked at this moment. He should be proving something to Chu Xinan right now, why was he suddenly talking about this? Many people couldn't understand.

But soon everyone understood. Xiaoyao's meaning was that Chu Xinan's matter was already over and didn't need attention. He was too lazy to even say more.

"My competition is in a few days. Everyone's still playing around now, who told you to set out so early?" Qi Yanran said.

"There's nothing to do at Shadow Moon Valley anyway. What else would I do if not come out? Calculating the time, I only need less than three months before I can go back. There's nothing fun here in the Demon Domain, and it's dangerous too," Xiaoyao calculated the time, that was the one year he had promised Qi Bupo.

Actually, he could also say that in one month he could set out to return. The journey would consume considerable time too. Plus, he had only promised not to let the Luo family know his news for one year, he hadn't said he couldn't leave the Demon Domain for one year. These were two different concepts.

At the same time, through these two months of contact with the Demon Domain, he also had a comprehensive understanding. Life here wasn't suitable for him. The days here were too unstable, there would be people fighting and killing all day long.

"Good, when the time comes I want to go with you. I also want to see the world outside the Demon Domain and meet those girls around you to see if any are suitable to be my sisters-in-law," Qi Yanran said with a smile. She wouldn't resist Xiaoyao leaving the Demon Domain, on the contrary, she had a kind of expectation. She also wanted to go together.

"Your status isn't quite suitable," Xiaoyao said. You're a candidate demoness, this status alone was unsuitable. If you won the position of Daughter of the Heavenly Demon, it would be even more unsuitable.

"What's unsuitable about it? If you don't say and I don't say, who knows what my status is?" Qi Yanran said.

...

"Once you make a move, people will know you're from the Demon Sect. Your cultivation method is too obvious. Unless you can restrain yourself, but that seems impossible," Xiaoyao shook his head.

"What's to fear? At worst, we'll just leave when the time comes," Qi Yanran said indifferently.

"Forget it. When the time comes, I'll teach you a method to cover it up. As long as you don't encounter true masters, you shouldn't have problems," Xiaoyao said helplessly. It seemed Qi Yanran's determination was strong, there was no way to deal with her.

Xiaoyao had thought of ditching Qi Yanran, but the problem was he knew that if he did this, Qi Yanran would definitely go to the Luo family to cause trouble until he appeared. That would make the problem even more serious, it was better to keep her by his side where she was easier to handle.

He hoped she could find an ideal husband to marry. But she was almost thirty, who knew if there were any outstanding unmarried young men of suitable age.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like you're leaving the Demon Domain. Also, from what I hear, Xiaoyao doesn't seem to belong to our Demon Domain??" Xu Zijing asked in confusion.

"That's right. I'm leaving the Demon Domain, and he doesn't belong to our Demon Sect or Demon Domain. He's from outside the Demon Domain," Qi Yanran said. There was nothing to hide about this, it wasn't a problem.

"So that's how it is. With your relationship, there shouldn't be problems. I'm just afraid some people might mind," Xu Zijing frowned. Outsiders coming to the Demon Domain wouldn't be a problem, but entering Heavenly Demon City seemed somewhat problematic.

"Let them mind if they want, they mind everything anyway," Qi Yanran said indifferently.

At this moment, Chu Xinan looked at Xiaoyao with somewhat fierce eyes. He had an idea, he wanted to find someone to kill Xiaoyao, because Xiaoyao wasn't from the Demon Domain, so being killed would be quite normal.

However, this matter was too risky. After all, though Xiaoyao wasn't from the Demon Domain, he was also Qi Yanran's little brother. Behind Qi Yanran were Qi Bupo and Xiao Yizhu, all people he couldn't provoke.

Therefore, he could only give up and continue thinking about the Go match. But the more he thought, the more he felt a kind of powerlessness, the helplessness of being unable to change a losing situation.

"Sister Yanran, are you going to places outside the Demon Domain? Can I go together?" Miss Xiaofeng asked at this moment.

"I want to go too," A-Qing also followed up.

For them, places outside the Demon Domain were very fresh, places they yearned for. Though it was also very dangerous there, without certain strength, wanting to go outside the Demon Domain was seeking death. This was even more dangerous than outsiders entering the Demon Domain.

Demon Domain people wouldn't necessarily kill those entering the Demon Domain, but outsiders would definitely kill Demon Sect people. Black could accommodate white, but white definitely couldn't accommodate black. This wasn't saying Demon Domain people were more tolerant, the attributes were different.

Black fundamentally wasn't afraid of white coming to influence them. When white appeared, black was a stain...

"You... forget it. Your strength is so weak. Any random person could kill you," Xiaoyao looked at Xiaofeng and A-Qing. These two really weren't impressive.

"Kid, what do you mean by saying this!"

Xiaofeng and A-Qing were immediately dissatisfied. If Qi Yanran said this, they could accept it, but Xiaoyao looked like only Late Emperor Level, they were much stronger. To be looked down upon by such a person, how could they accept this?

"The meaning is that your strength is too weak to go. You can't even understand this, seems like not only is your strength inadequate, but your intelligence..." When Xiaoyao said this, he didn't continue, but everyone knew what his next words would be.

"I'm going to bite you to death!" Xiaofeng wanted to pounce and bite again.

"Go play somewhere else! He's not anyone special to you, can you just bite him randomly?" Qi Yanran grabbed Xiaofeng and casually threw her aside.

All being women, she was even less likely to show mercy!

"Sister Yanran, you're bullying me!" Xiaofeng said very aggrievedly.

"I am bullying you. You little girl, Xiaoyao was right. It's very dangerous for you to go out now. If people discover your identities, you'll be in trouble," Qi Yanran said.

"But aren't you going too?"

"I'm different, I have great strength!" Qi Yanran said indifferently.

"Then you can protect us."

"I can protect myself alone. Protecting you is impossible. Simply put, you'd be burdens," Qi Yanran said without courtesy.

"..."

"Alright, it's settled then. I want to go out and look around. Sister Yanran, are you coming with them or with me?" Xiaoyao didn't want to hear them continue. Even if they wanted to do this, he wouldn't take them.

"I'll take you around. I'm afraid you'll accidentally encounter something again," Qi Yanran said. At this time, she definitely wouldn't let Xiaoyao act alone again. He'd only been away briefly and already caused such a big incident.

Besides, she had business before, but now she had nothing to do. Naturally she could take Xiaoyao shopping. Her interest in this was much greater than other things.

"Good, let's go," Xiaoyao said.

"Good!"

"Go? Where are you going? This Go match isn't finished yet," Chu Xinan immediately said. Though he was deep in thought, he was also constantly watching Xiaoyao.

"Whether it finishes depends on your choice. Anyway, it has nothing more to do with me," Xiaoyao replied directly.

"Don't be too confident. Do you think your Go skills are unparalleled?" Chu Xinan understood Xiaoyao's meaning, but he absolutely wouldn't acknowledge this.

"My Go skills are naturally not unparalleled. There should be quite a few people better than me. Didn't I say before that Third Miss is stronger than me? But this Go match isn't just beginning, it's already entering the final stage. Even if Third Miss came, she could only concede. Do you understand?" Xiaoyao said.

Though Chu Xinan didn't know who the Third Miss Xiaoyao mentioned was, he could understand this statement. A Go match that had reached this stage wasn't about whether Go skills were high or low, but whether there was any chance of salvation. If it was the kind where defeat was inevitable, even if the world's number one Go player came, they would still have to concede. This was easy to understand.

Simply put, someone had already fallen into a deadly predicament. Even if someone with incredible abilities came, it would still be certain death. Perhaps before entering this predicament there was still hope, but now there was no salvation.

"..." Chu Xinan wanted to refute, but if he didn't refute on the Go board, everything would be useless. He understood this point too, so he stopped speaking and just looked at the Go board.

"Let's go quickly. Staying here another moment is uncomfortable," Xiaoyao directly pulled Qi Yanran away. Others were stunned, not knowing whether to stay and watch Chu Xinan continue or follow Xiaoyao.

After thinking about it, following Xiaoyao seemed inappropriate too, because they were siblings going shopping. Others shouldn't disturb them, even if they wanted to show hospitality, this wasn't the time.

When Xiaoyao came out, everyone below stared at him. Each person's eyes held admiration, more or less, just because Xiaoyao had made a move they couldn't believe.

Then came cheers, like welcoming a hero. Xiaoyao was treated like a triumphant returning hero!

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support!"

Xiaoyao very graciously cupped his hands in return, calmly accepting everyone's cheers and respect as if this was natural, without feeling embarrassed or unnatural at all.

Qi Yanran seemed the same as Xiaoyao, naturally returning the courtesy, though she only did so occasionally, not like Xiaoyao who graciously returned salutes all the way.

After leaving the door, the two were no longer the focus of attention. People outside didn't know the situation inside or that Xiaoyao was the one who had faced off against Chu Xinan.

Therefore, the two left without obstruction.
