Seeing Que Yun approaching step by step, Yun Roumu was deeply alarmed.

    To avoid dragging Ye Yu down, she prepared to turn and leave, intending to draw Que Yun’s attention away.

    Only in this way could Ye Yu be temporarily safe.

    However, just as Yun Roumu turned, a terrifying pressure struck her, rendering her unable to move through the air.

    “I said, in front of me, you have no chance to...” Que Yun began, but suddenly changed his tone. “Hey, kid, what are you doing?”

    At that moment, Ye Yu had arrived behind Yun Roumu, preparing to knock her unconscious.

    But Que Yun’s interruption instantly raised Yun Roumu’s alertness. She turned her head and saw Ye Yu standing right behind her, his right hand tightly clenched into a fist.

    The distance between them was less than half a meter.

    Ye Yu felt immensely embarrassed, with a thousand curses raging in his mind.

    The old bastard is so shameless. Why did he have to interrupt at such a critical moment? Some things are not convenient for girls to see.

    However, the immediate priority was to figure out how to explain things.

    While Ye Yu was struggling internally, Yun Roumu’s gaze softened. She took Ye Yu’s tightly clenched right hand in hers.

    “Junior Brother, I know you want to protect me, but this approach won’t work. I heard that the Blood Demon Sect leader had already reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm a hundred years ago. We are no match for him.”

    Clearly, Yun Roumu mistook Ye Yu’s actions as an attempt to protect her, and she was quite touched.

    Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

    Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator? He wondered if the Lichun Jade could withstand it.

    Que Yun laughed heartily. “The Saintess is right. Don’t waste your efforts. Kid, don’t worry, my blade is swift; you won’t feel any pain.”

    Upon hearing this, Yun Roumu drew a sword from her storage ring and held it to her neck. “Let my Junior Brother go, or I’ll end my life right here and give you nothing.”

    Facing such a threat, Que Yun’s expression remained calm. “Haven’t you heard? In the face of absolute power, suicide is an extreme luxury.”

    “As long as I don’t want it, you won’t die. But your Junior Brother must die today!”

    Having said that, Que Yun cast a spell with one hand.

    A golden chain-like phantom appeared around Yun Roumu, tightly binding her and rendering her incapable of even moving a finger, let alone committing suicide.

    After doing this, Que Yun intended to kill Ye Yu and then take Yun Roumu away from this place. He had already delayed long enough.

    Thus, Que Yun suddenly raised his great axe and swung it through the air.

    A black blade of light shot forth.

    After some contemplation, Ye Yu said in a deep voice, “Senior Sister, the truth is, I am a reincarnated immortal. Do you believe it?”

    Yun Roumu’s face showed utter surprise.

    Ye Yu then launched into an elaborate explanation.

    According to him, he was an immortal from the heavenly realm who had lost a battle against a rival and was thus reincarnated into the mortal world to continue his cultivation.

    He was essentially recycling Zuo Yingchun’s story.

    Moreover, Ye Yu emphasized that he had just used a secret technique to elevate his cultivation to the Ascension Realm, which could only be sustained for the duration of an incense stick’s burning time.

    Once this period was over, his Ascension Realm power would dissipate.

    This technique could only be used once in a lifetime, so Ye Yu needed Yun Roumu to keep this secret.

    Until he possessed absolute strength, she must not reveal his true identity as a reincarnated immortal, or it would be very dangerous.

    Yun Roumu’s expression was fascinating.

    It sounded incredible, but considering that she herself was a half-demon, she found it less surprising.

    A half-demon?

    Suddenly feeling a deep sense of grievance, Yun Roumu started to cry.

    The unexpected tears caught Ye Yu off guard.

    “Senior Sister, why are you suddenly crying?”

    Yun Roumu pointed at the butterfly wings on her back, sobbing uncontrollably.

    Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly realized.

    Yun Roumu was crying because of her half-demon status.

    It was indeed quite miraculous, transforming from an ordinary person into a half-demon. It’s something that would be hard for anyone to accept.

    Ye Yu glanced at the large wings behind Yun Roumu.

    They were indeed quite beautiful, with intricate patterns that complemented Yun Roumu’s stunning appearance, giving her the aura of a fairy.

    So, Ye Yu tried to comfort her, “Senior Sister, to be honest, these wings really do look quite beautiful. Flapping and sparkling with a starry effect, isn’t that something special?”

    It would be better not to say this.

    As soon as he said it.

    Yun Roumu cried louder!
