No emotion whatsoever.
A voice devoid of any information sounded from behind.
"Diao... Deyi?"
"Itâs me."
Something was pressed against her back, sharp and pointed, ready to pierce her skin in an instant.
"Explain to me why... my second sister, Diao Ruru, became a Bloodline Spirit!"
The emotion in the voice of the man behind her wavered, but it wasnât good news.
"I was saving you!"
Ding Hui tried to feign it, pretend to be emotional, as though saving Diao Deyi was the only option.
But she couldnât fake it, her emotions barely fluctuated.
"At that time, if I hadnât turned Diao Ruru into a Bloodline Spirit and fused her with you, you would have been dead! Back then you..."
Fang Yu roared, interrupting, "Iâd rather die than have my second sister become like that!!"
Second sister was a human!
She only had one life!
If I had died back then, I could have just respawned with a new character!
But second sister died... sheâd be gone forever...
Fang Yuâs voice was loud.
Echoing in the underground laboratory, it could attract attention at any time, yet neither of them reacted.
Ding Hui lowered her head, staring at the ground, seemingly mustering all her courage, almost biting her lip as she spoke.
"I care!"
"...What?"
"I care whether you live or die!"
Ding Hui suddenly turned around! Facing Fang Yu directly!
"I only care about whether you live or die! As for Diao Ruru, sheâs just an ordinary person, her life or death doesnât concern me at all..."
Slap!
A red handprint appeared on Ding Huiâs face.
Her head tilted to the side as her brain buzzed.
"Did you think this would make me let you go? You killed second sister! You killed... my family!"
Fang Yu nearly gritted his teeth as he spoke.
But Ding Hui, she laughed.
She held the side of her face that had been slapped, raised her head to look at Fang Yu, and said with a cold smile, "Isnât that right? You Blue Star Demons, where do you have family on this continent!"
What?!
Fang Yuâs eyes widened in an instant, taking a quick step back.
"What... what are you saying?"
At this moment, Ding Hui seemed to take the upper hand, her expression twisted as she took a large step towards Fang Yu.
"Blue Star Demon, Blue Star Human, Blue Star Disease... whatever the name, anyway, people like you donât belong to our world! Isnât it so!"
Ding Hui lifted her right hand, pointing with her finger at Fang Yuâs chest.
"Then! What is Diao Ruru? What does this nominal family member mean to a Blue Star Demon like you! Diao Deyi, Iâm the one who truly cares about you!!"
Ding Hui suddenly wanted to embrace him, but Fang Yu pushed her away, making her fall to the ground.
"Diao Deyi?!"
"I donât know what youâre talking about... I donât know what youâre talking about!! Diao Ruru is my family! Sheâs my second sister! No matter what I am, no matter what she is, that fact will never change!!"
Fang Yuâs chest heaved violently, glaring angrily at Ding Hui as he panted heavily.
"And you! You killed her!!"
"Sophistry! Why donât you dare to face the truth! Youâre scared, arenât you!!"
"Shut up!!"
Fang Yuâs right hand transformed into a Bone Blade, pointing at Ding Hui.
"I want an explanation from you!"
"Or what?" Ding Hui stood up, puffed out her chest, and daringly, slowly pressed her body against the Bone Blade.
"Are you going to... kill me?"
Fang Yu did not retreat, nor did he move an inch, watching as Ding Hui slowly advanced, her chest slowly pressing against the tip of the Bone Blade, making her chest ooze bright red blood.
Fang Yu held on, but Ding Hui was more resolute!
She suddenly grabbed the Bone Blade with both hands, about to impale herself completely!
If the Bone Blade struck a vital point, even Ding Hui would be in grave danger!
His expression changed, and with a puff, Fang Yu dissipated the Bone Blade, letting Ding Hui lunged forward into the air and fell to the ground.
Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui lying on the ground, her blood slowly staining the floor red, his expression complicated as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"From now on, I never want to see you again."
Saying this, Fang Yu turned to leave.
But suddenly, he heard a sentence from Ding Hui behind him that he could hardly believe.
"Diao Ruru can still be saved."
...
Foolish Underworld.
"Is the news true?"
The Hall Master of the Ming Hall, Ming Tianqi, asked in a low voice.
"Weâve checked, it is indeed true."
The Tea Ceremony Hall Master [An Menyi], placed the report content in his hand on the table.
It recorded that the Acting Captain of Yangshen Hall, Diao Deyi, mysteriously disappeared after rescuing demons.
"It might just be a ruse, rescuing demons to better infiltrate among them."
The Juanan Hall Master [Shu Shangming] said in a low voice.
An Menyi shook his head: "What he rescued wasnât a Demon Leader or a mastermind, but just an ordinary Tree Demon. One of the accomplices who attacked [Wu Lvzhu] back then!"
The Hall Master of Ming Hall [Ming Tianqi] also said with a grim expression: "Most importantly, even if he acted without authorization, such a major incident has happened, and he should have reported back the situation and relayed the information early on! But now? So much time has passed, Tianyuan Town is in chaos, yet this guy still hasnât reported back to the Foolish Underworld!"
Juanan Hall Master [Shu Shangming] said in an even lower voice: "Maybe... maybe he canât get away for now?"
"Donât say it." The Dark Hall Master [Ye Zhongyu], took a deep breath.
"For now, mark the Acting Captain of Yangshen Hall, Diao Deyi, as a human traitor and demon ally! If anyone sees him, capture him first, remember, make sure heâs alive."
Some sighed, some nodded, but most did not disagree with this decision.
"The next issue is that due to the activation of the Tianyuan Great Formation, no one can enter or exit, and the ancestors of the Five Great Families have awoken, resulting in the fall of both the Lin Family and Li Family Ancestors, and the Lin Family still self-seals with the formation. What should we, the Foolish Underworld, do now?"
