Chapter 48 Even if I die, you won't get away with it!
The powerful attack from behind was already close at hand. Lin Shuo looked at Li Yang, whose attack was also approaching, and his heart sank as he fiercely swung out his claws, which were filled with evil spirit power!
If I die, you won't get away with it!
Li Yang naturally realized this. Retreating would avoid injury, but it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.
But if she goes in... she will be hurt by Lin Shuo, and given Lin Shuo's vengeful nature, this attack will definitely not be weak.
Before Li Yang could make a choice, she resolutely met Lin Shuo's attack, twisting her wrist with her right hand and thrusting the fan blade fiercely towards Lin Shuo's chest!
"Pfft!"
Two sounds of flesh being pierced rang out almost simultaneously. Blood spilled from the corner of Li Yang's mouth as the fan blade, which had pierced Lin Shuo's heart, twisted violently inside.
The black energy emanating from his body leaked out of his chest like a ball. Before he could even groan, Ji Cang's attack came silently from behind. Lin Shuo's body convulsed slightly, and his gaze toward Li Yang was like that of a demon. He charged forward following Ji Cang's attack, and his claws, which were already digging into Li Yang's shoulder blades, went even deeper.
"Well!"
Li Yang frowned, grabbed a fan blade in mid-air with his left hand, and slashed his hand hard!
Without the Evil Pearl, Lin Shuo was like a pangolin without its skin, and any attack could finally leave a mark on him.
Lin Shuo violently pulled his hand away, tearing at Li Yang's flesh, his voice trembling and shrill, "If I die, you won't get away with it! I'll watch you become a mindless demon, forever condemned to hell!"
"You... stupid girl!"
Lin Shuo fell down, and only then did Ji Cang see that Li Yang was seriously injured, having been shielded by his body.
Li Yang knelt on the ground, her right hand weakly supporting her. She was already swaying and about to fall, but when she heard Ji Cang's voice, she managed to lift her eyelids.
"A tsundere... a proud and arrogant person..."
"Li Yang!"
Li Yang only saw Ji Cang's enlarged shadow quickly embrace her, and the familiar scent enveloped her. Then, Li Yang felt a cold aura surging through her body, and she couldn't help but tremble.
In the chaos, she heard many buzzing sounds, as if they were traveling through a layer of water and reaching her brain from afar.
"How could she be injured? Her spiritual power wasn't strong to begin with, and you still let her attack head-on!"
"Alright, enough talk, let's go back and treat her injuries!"
Li Yang felt herself being lifted into the air and carried away. Soon, a gust of wind swept through her arms. The person carrying her was running quite fast, and the pressure on her shoulder blades made her shoulder blades hurt even more.
Li Yang rolled her eyes inwardly. In the last moment before losing consciousness, she actually thought: Damn evil people, why do they like grabbing people's shoulder blades so much!
……
When she regained consciousness, Li Yang felt that everything around her was quiet.
She opened her eyes blankly, and just as she tried to sit up, she pulled at the wound on her shoulder and gasped.
"Hiss! It hurts!"
No sooner had she shouted than a pair of hands caught her, and a scolding voice came from above, "You woke up and didn't know to call for help? You deserve to be in so much pain!"
Li Yang was already in so much pain that her whole body felt weak. She had just woken up when she was startled by the sudden roar, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Just as Ji Cang helped the person up, he felt a drop of cold liquid fall onto the back of his hand.
He froze, then became flustered. "Why are you crying? I... I didn't yell at you!"
"Meow?"
The ethereal cat jumped onto Li Yang's lap and lay down, "Meow, Demon King, you scared everyone to death."
Li Yang's nose hurt from sobbing, but she still couldn't stop, "What—what? I'm the one who's injured, and you're yelling at me!"
"Yeah, my bad."
The ethereal cat stole a glance at Ji Cang, who was awkwardly and somewhat roughly wiping away Li Yang's tears, and Li Yang's eyes seemed to be getting redder the more he wiped them.
"Meow, Demon King, when you were unconscious, he was scolded terribly by everyone, especially by White Bird. She was treating your wounds while crying and scolding him, and he didn't dare to utter a single word."
Li Yang's voice suddenly stopped, and she looked up at Ji Cang with red eyes, "You...you got scolded?"
Ji Cang's expression flickered with unease for a moment, then he withdrew his hand and put it behind his back. "No... how could that be! Who would dare to insult me!"
Li Yang pouted and glanced around, only to realize that there were only the two of them in the cave, or rather, the ethereal cat.
"Where are they?"
“After you got injured, everyone gathered around, and those evil spirits escaped in the chaos. Everyone took turns watching you all night, and only in the morning did they take Li Su out to find the other four evil spirits.”
Li Yang gave a muffled reply, clutching her stomach, "What time is it now? What am I going to do if I'm hungry?"
Ji Cang glanced at the sunlight streaming in from outside. "It must be noon. I'm hungry... You're really nosy!"
He gritted his teeth, but still reluctantly reached out and patted himself all over before pulling out a small, tightly wrapped bag of candy from his waist. "This is all I have. You'll have to make do with this."
A small, irregularly shaped yellow candy was placed in her palm. Li Yang shook her head and popped it into her mouth. "I don't mind, thank you."
Ji Cang turned his face away, "Why are you thanking me? If it weren't for my slap, your injuries might not be this serious."
Li Yang put the candy in her cheek and hugged the ethereal cat. "Hmm, it was my fault for not watching him properly. I was the one who faced his attack to kill him. It has nothing to do with you. You even stayed to take care of me. You're such a good person!"
You are such a kind person...
These words left deep ripples in Ji Cang's heart. He believed that he had killed countless people and had been wandering outside since childhood. In order to survive, he would do anything. Until he grew up, Gui Luo came to him and told him that he was actually a reincarnated Ghost Lord.
He grew up alone, his path fraught with peril, falling and getting covered in mud, yet always rising again. More than once, he screamed in the rain at the injustice of fate, at the world's cruelty. Finally, he gained power, able to kill whomever he wanted. From someone who feared everyone to someone everyone feared, only he knew how arduous his journey had been. Therefore, with power, he chose to disguise himself with coldness and ruthlessness. No one dared approach him, except for Li Yang.
She actually said that he was a great person, even though his hands were stained with blood.
How naive!
So innocent and adorable.
If the little girl knew that she was only getting close to him to find the Demon King, would she be so angry that she would jump up and hit him?
Li Yang's red eyes glistened with tears, looking bewildered. "What are you doing? Why are you ignoring me?"
But in her heart, she thought: "Would this kid be so moved by my words that he'd want to marry me?" No way! She was just being casual; he absolutely mustn't take it seriously.
Ji Cang snapped out of his daze, his face hardening as he pressed down on Li Yang's head, which was getting closer and closer, and pushed it away. "Why are you getting so close to me? Be careful I don't touch your injury!"
Li Yang pouted, "Hmm, I can't pout. So, to repay you for watching over me for so long, shall I touch your ears?"
Ji Cang's hand froze in mid-air as he withdrew it, while the ethereal cat on Li Yang's knee bristled with anger, screaming wildly in Li Yang's mind, "Meow! Demon King, please don't! A demon's sensitive parts can only be touched by its mate!"
Li Yang blinked his big red eyes, his cheek puffed out on the side where he was holding the candy, and his pink ears were right on top of his hair bun. As Li Yang tilted his head and leaned closer, the pink hair ribbons hanging down swayed with him.
Ji Cang swallowed hard, but couldn't help placing his hand on her head and rubbing it.
"Alright, hurry up and put it away."
