Xing Baobao's little face instantly flushed red at Ye Tianyi's words, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Ding... Sensed Xing Baobao's shyness. Swagger Value +100000."
Wow! This girl was shy? She was absolutely top-tier!!
Ye Tianyi roared inwardly.
There was one main reason she was shy: she believed Ye Tianyi's words!
Honestly, no normal girl would possibly believe that, yet she did! That was why Ye Tianyi had been able to trick her into becoming his back then. She was too innocent, too well protected.
Then Ye Tianyi tentatively and slowly placed his hand over hers.
Xing Baobao trembled all over and instinctively pulled her hand away.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Tianyi asked softly.
"No, no."
Xing Baobao shook her little head like a rattle-drum and said, "If Grandpa finds out, he'll kill you."
"If you don't tell him and I don't tell him, how would your grandpa know?" Ye Tianyi asked, taking her soft little hand again.
"I..."
"Ding... Taking advantage of the young lady. Swagger Value +30000."
Ye Tianyi: "..."
That shouldn't count as taking advantage, right?
This time, Xing Baobao did not pull her hand away.
"Do you blame me?"
Ye Tianyi asked softly.
Xing Baobao shook her head.
"Then be good. Once we reach the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest, stay with me and listen to me."
"Mm... I understand."
Xing Baobao nodded shyly.
What a wonderful girl. That previous Ye Tianyi truly had been a beast. But why did he really feel like he was getting the instant déjà vu of a scumbag?
Ye Tianyi truly had no other intentions. He only saw how upset the girl was and wanted to comfort her. He really had not meant to take advantage by holding her hand; he merely thought it might reassure her and make her feel more at ease.
Soon, they arrived outside the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest. After getting out of the car, the ten of them put on their backpacks, took their belongings, and looked at the forest before them.
An endless expanse of dense forest filled with mystery. It made people want to explore it, yet also made them feel their own insignificance and hesitate to step forward. In their ears rang the cries of insects and birds. Occasionally, they could see traces of small animals, even the footprints of demon beasts. This was the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest. It seemed no different from an ordinary forest, but it was said that the center of the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest, where the Three Great Demon Gods resided, presented an entirely different sight beneath the heavens. Yet no human had ever explored it.
"Brothers, the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest lies ahead. Demon beasts are all inside the forest. We'll move forward together. Remember, don't make too much noise. Avoid them whenever possible. Our main goal is to find the Purple-Gold Silver Flower. I'll lead the way, and you follow behind me. Remember, the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest is a dangerous place. Keep yourselves on twelve points of alert and watch for every rustle of wind and stir of grass around you."
Shang Yu said to them.
"Understood!"
"Tianyi Gege, Xinger will protect you."
Xing Baobao looked at Ye Tianyi and spoke seriously.
Don't let her young age, adorable appearance, innocence, and seeming frailty fool you. Could the Dean's granddaughter possibly be simple? She was at least in the Spirit Refining Realm. She had probably hidden her realm from Shang Yu, which was why Shang Yu had said he was the only one in the Spirit Refining Realm.
In her heart, Ye Tianyi's realm was still not very high, so she would protect him!
Ye Tianyi smiled faintly.
"Then aren't you afraid your grandpa will scold you?"
Ye Tianyi asked with a smile.
"Anyway, Grandpa won't know."
Xing Baobao muttered softly.
Ye Tianyi smiled inwardly. So cute.
Xing Baobao's appearance was like lighting a beacon for Ye Tianyi. He had been worrying about how difficult it would be to complete the Scumbag System's task, but wasn't Xing Baobao right here? He could definitely win her over, right? At the very least, if he pursued one girl, the Task Punishment would be gone. That was enough to let him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then after we go back tonight, can you not go home?"
Ye Tianyi asked with a grin.
Swish—
Her little face immediately flushed crimson again.
"I... I..."
She had no idea what to do.
"I'm joking. I won't tease you anymore! We're entering the forest."
In the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest, Ye Tianyi did not dare let down his guard either. He had to protect this kind and innocent girl. At the very least, he had a trump card. It was because he had that trump card that Ye Tianyi dared to come here! Of course, regarding Ye Xian'er's matter afterward, he would have come even without a trump card!
Everyone entered the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven Forest. Ye Tianyi and Xing Baobao walked at the very back. Ahead and to Ye Tianyi's right was the Bronze-Skinned Man. Everyone had been happily chatting and fooling around in the car, but he had not said a single word the entire time.
"Everyone, pay attention. The Purple-Gold Silver Flower grows in damp places that receive absolutely no sunlight, so keep a close eye out!"
Shang Yu said.
"Yes!"
About twenty minutes later, their luck was indeed fairly good. They had encountered a demon beast, but it ran away upon seeing them. Still, there was no sign whatsoever of the Purple-Gold Silver Flower.
Swish—
At that moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the bushes on the left like lightning. A purple figure charged straight at Wang Jichao, the youth standing ahead and to Ye Tianyi's left!
It was too fast. Moreover, Wang Jichao was only in the Enlightened Aperture Realm, which was not particularly high. He had no time to react or dodge at all!
"Watch out!"
Ye Tianyi's eyes were quick and his hands faster. In an instant, he activated the Wind Attribute power within him, his speed skyrocketing as he rushed over.
Bang—
The next moment, Ye Tianyi leaped into the air and kicked the figure.
The sudden turn of events made everyone stop. They drew their weapons and stared in that direction.
"It's a Demonic Raccoon Cat! Be careful! There must be a pack of Demonic Raccoon Cats here!"
Shang Yu could not help shouting when he saw the demon beast.
The Demonic Raccoon Cat was roughly the size of three cats. It was not actually very large. Its entire body was pitch-black, its tail long and slender. Those green eyes were especially terrifying, and its claws were particularly sharp!
Demonic Raccoon Cats were agile demon beasts, generally in the Enlightened Aperture Realm. They moved in packs and were best at hiding in trees or bushes, waiting until prey passed by before launching sudden lightning-fast attacks. Their favorite target was the throats of living creatures! One strike, one kill.
Whoosh—
At that moment, Shang Yu leaped up, powerful blue lightning flashing around his body as he threw a fierce punch at the Demonic Raccoon Cat. The Demonic Raccoon Cat tried to evade and did manage to leap away, but the gap in their realms was simply too great. It was directly electrocuted to death by the lightning!
"Everyone, be careful. There's a pack of Demonic Raccoon Cats nearby. Protect your throats. Demonic Raccoon Cats love attacking people's throats most!"
Shang Yu reminded them.
Everyone instinctively shrank their necks.
"Tianyi Gege, your... your speed just now..."
Xing Baobao looked at Ye Tianyi in shock.
"We'll talk later. Fight first!"
"Mm!"
Then Xing Baobao drew her sword, while Ye Tianyi was bare-handed.
Sure enough, pairs of ghostly blue eyes appeared all around them. Then more than twenty Demonic Raccoon Cats slowly emerged, surrounding them completely and shifting their paws little by little as they searched for the best moment to strike.
"Stay safe. These are only Enlightened Aperture Realm Demonic Raccoon Cats, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat! Fight!"
"Yes!"
