The Demon Body explained as she sped along.
"I encountered Scorpion Granny in Yellow Sand City. If she couldn't survive in Dark Night City, she most likely returned to Yellow Sand City."
Xu Chunniang neither confirmed nor denied it. "Then let's go to Yellow Sand City and take a look."
Yellow Sand City bordered Dark Night City. At Xu Chunniang's current escape speed, she arrived at Yellow Sand City after only a single day.
The Demon Body stood atop the towering city walls as vast Demonic Thought spread from all corners of the city, sweeping through every inch.
At last, when the Demonic Thought reached an inconspicuous spot in the inner city, the Demon Body's heart stirred. "Over there!"
The next instant, the Demon Body vanished from where she stood and silently slipped into the inner city.
"Scorpion Granny."
Scorpion Granny abruptly opened her eyes, startled awake from meditation, then pushed open the door and walked out.
When she saw who had come, obvious delight flashed through her eyes. She bowed to Xu Chunniang. "My lord, you finally found me!"
The Demon Body chuckled softly, her gaze sweeping over Scorpion Granny's new body. "Not bad. You actually broke through to the Void Refining Stage."
Scorpion Granny's face reddened slightly. Lowering her head, she said, "This body of mine has rather poor aptitude. I cultivated for more than ten years before barely advancing into the Void Refining Stage.
Speaking of which, my fourth body had its consciousness erased and was refined into a puppet, leaving behind only a trace of instinct. I have to thank you, my lord, for rescuing me from that puppet body."
"It was merely something I did in passing."
The Demon Body waved a hand. "Do you still remember how you were refined into a puppet?"
