Chapter 110: I Will Definitely Save You!
***
Lin Muyu suddenly felt a few thoughts of backing down emerge from the bottom of her heart.
Because this wolf demon’s cultivation had probably already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
What was even more troublesome was that it also exuded a cunning and intelligence far beyond ordinary demonic beasts.
Such an opponent was definitely not something the current her could handle.
But when her gaze fell on the girl’s tear-stained cheeks, that bit of retreating thought was instantly suppressed again. In the end, she still couldn’t bear to abandon her.
The girl seemed to see through the conflict in her eyes and instead stopped her tears first.
Then she tried hard to calm herself down, her voice still carrying unresolved sobs, yet revealing a maturity beyond her years:
“Big sister… if you really can’t handle that cunning wolf demon, don’t force yourself. You can go ask your sect elders to help!”
She raised her hand to messily wipe the tear stains from her cheeks, deliberately straightening her small frame, adding with feigned strength:
“I can’t let you lose your life trying to save my sister!”
Lin Muyu looked at the girl’s sincere eyes, listening to such considerate words, and found herself momentarily silent.
This child was really too mature.
She knew that if she went back now to ask her sect’s seniors for help, by the time she came back, her sister would definitely be beyond saving.
But the girl was still thinking of her.
Lin Muyu suddenly understood why the girl’s father dared to publicly denounce the village chief who had a wolf demon backing him in front of the entire village.
To outsiders, that might seem like foolish overconfidence.
But in reality, it was the courage to stand up for justice in one’s heart, even knowing there was an abyss ahead.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Muyu suppressed the concerns in her heart, her tone gradually becoming firm:
“Mm… you don’t need to worry about me. Take me to find that wolf demon’s hiding place now.”
Whether in this world or the previous one, this kind of kind-hearted justice was worth praising.
For this kind of justice, she decided to take this risk.
Of course, she wouldn’t gamble with her own safety. She would first observe the situation up close before taking action.
Moreover, she still had Xiaotao’s refuge space. Even if that wolf demon’s cultivation really far exceeded expectations and reached the Golden Core stage.
As long as she was careful enough and didn’t act impulsively, even if she had to hide back in the bead space, the wolf demon definitely couldn’t do anything to her.
“But…”
The girl still wanted to dissuade her, her brow furrowed into a knot, her face full of anxiety.
“It’s fine, trust me. Just take me there.”
Lin Muyu gently interrupted her words, looking like she had everything under control, making the girl stop speaking.
The girl looked at the young woman before her who wasn’t much older than herself, finally saying no more, just nodding heavily, her eyes welling up with grateful tears again.
She naturally hoped to save her sister. Even if in the end… she could only retrieve her sister’s belongings, she would be infinitely grateful!
…
On the other side, after it became completely quiet outside, Lin Xiaoyun carefully crawled out from her hiding place.
What met her eyes was a scene of devastating carnage scattered everywhere, with the pungent smell of blood filling the air, making her stomach churn and nearly vomit.
But completely different from her was the girl with empty eyes, whose face remained terrifyingly calm, revealing a composure that didn’t match her age.
As if none of this mattered at all.
“So… little cat is a demon.”
The girl suddenly spoke, her gentle voice breaking the suffocating silence.
Lin Xiaoyun immediately felt somewhat at a loss.
She was very clear that it was this girl before her who had just saved her.
“I…”
She opened her mouth, just about to say something, but was interrupted by the girl.
“It’s okay, little cat. You should leave quickly. When that person comes back, you won’t be able to get away.”
The girl advised softly.
She didn’t know that Ji Jiaying had already been confined to Reflection Cliff, but she knew that if Lin Xiaoyun stayed here, she would encounter danger sooner or later.
Seeing that the girl didn’t seem to mind her demon race identity, Lin Xiaoyun’s anxious heart finally settled, and she quickly asked with gratitude:
“Thank you for saving me! What can I do now to save you?”
The girl slowly shook her head, her tone still calm:
“You can’t save me. If you insist on saving me, in the end you’ll only implicate yourself and lose your life too…”
Although the girl’s voice was soft, Lin Xiaoyun clearly heard a trace of unhideable sorrow in those words.
Why would this young girl before her be so despairing about her own fate?
Lin Xiaoyun looked at her pale little face, feeling an inexplicable pang of heartache.
“Don’t lose heart! Let me try to help you break these chains. Maybe it’ll work?”
Saying this, Lin Xiaoyun stepped toward the girl, reaching out to touch the chains binding her.
“Don’t touch the chains!”
The girl suddenly raised her voice, her tone full of urgency, startling Lin Xiaoyun into freezing mid-step, her hand suspended in mid-air.
After Lin Xiaoyun stopped moving, the girl softened her tone and explained:
“Once you touch the chains, it will activate something very terrifying… Those people were killed by that thing.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyun’s whole body stiffened, a chill instantly shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, cold sweat breaking out on her back.
So this shocking carnage before her was all because someone had touched the chains?
“Then… then what should I do?”
She was out of ideas, only able to ask with some helplessness and unwillingness.
“Leave this place.”
The girl said softly, but her tone carried a faint air of death.
“With Big Sister’s current strength, there’s no way to save me, and… I’m not worth saving either.”
Saying this, she paused again, as if making some kind of resolution, and added:
“Or rather… kill me.”
“Huh?”
Lin Xiaoyun was completely stunned, her eyes full of shock.
Even before meeting Lin Muyu, when she had encountered so much suffering.
Being hunted, wandering homeless, she had never thought of giving up her life. She only wanted to struggle to survive with all her might.
But what had this young girl before her experienced to prefer death over continuing to live?
Actually, seeing the girl’s mature appearance far beyond her peers, Lin Xiaoyun could faintly sense a bit of her pain.
After all, only bone-deep pain could force someone to grow up quickly.
And she herself had come through that.
If she could have grown up under gentle care, the girl before her should have been an innocent and carefree child with light in her eyes, right?
“Wait for me, I will definitely come back to save you!”
Lin Xiaoyun took a deep breath, forcefully dropped this sentence, then turned and ran toward the door.
She was very clear that with her current strength, she indeed couldn’t save the girl.
But she knew there was someone who would definitely be willing to work with her to find a way to save the girl.
And she could sense that person was already very close to this place.
After Lin Xiaoyun’s figure completely disappeared, the room returned to silence, leaving only the girl’s faint sigh:
“Such familiar words… but the person who said this last time also couldn’t do it in the end… sigh…”
Could this little cat demon do it?
