I Became the Villain's Pendant - Chapter 56
He didn’t forget Ji Yan being afraid of the cold so he specially brought a quilt. Ji Yan obediently shrank in Yin Xuezhuo’s arms and shuttled in the frosty night.
The bright full moon hung on the gathering darkness and above their heads was the broken enhancement barrier. Countless fragments were still falling in succession and strips of white light illuminated the sky, reflected in Yin Xuezhuo’s pitch-black eyes and swung open a layer of icy-frost colour.
Yin Xuezhuo’s long hair fluttered in the air, brushing against Ji Yan’s cheeks and had a cold touch.
Ji Yan looked at the Wanxian Sect in front of her that was a little different from her memory and was slightly surprised, “It is only a few days’ time but the barrier was already badly broken.”
It was not like that before.
Wanxian Sect’s buildings had a magnificent and luxurious atmosphere. Although they were half demolished by Yin Xuezhuo, there were countless disciples patrolling back and forth at night and the surrounding was brightly lit. It wouldn’t look so desolate.
Yin Xuezhuo’s mouth twitched slightly and the black eyes under his feathery eyelashes had a mocking gaze, “Only a few of the most common little devils can make them unable to resist.”
Ji Yan brushed past Yin Xuezhuo’s cold smile silently without giving a reply.
The front hall of the Wanxian Sect was brightly lit. Ji Yunqing and Feng Liuyun were still discussing how to repair the enhancement barrier.
A mirror levitated in the air, projecting the face of a devastatingly beautiful woman. It was indeed Yin Miaorou.
Yin Miaorou was far at Kunning Sect and was unable to attend other things at the same time. She never followed Ji Yunqing to Linshuang City but ever since she heard the news of Yin Xuezhuo, she couldn’t stop worrying. After she finished her practice, she immediately used the magical communication psychic mirror to contact them.
“Yun Qing, I heard you have found Yan Er?” Yin Miaorou mentioned Ji Yan through the psychic mirror in a rather complicated tone.
Ji Yan impersonated her and was offered to Yin Xuezhuo. At first, it was a deadly trap of making a secret substitution to poison Yin Xuezhuo and causing restriction to him.
Corresponding to that, no one thought that Ji Yan could survive.
Yin Miaorou really did not expect that she would survive. After a careful thought about it, she continued to be full of doubts. She felt deeply worried, “Yun Qing, I’m not narrow-minded but Yan Er has no cultivation. How could she escape from the devil’s clutches? Can you carefully investigate the strangeness?”
Even now, when Yin Xuezhuo was mentioned, Yin Miaorou no longer wanted to call the name she personally chose in the past. She gave a name to a bloodthirsty devil back then. She got confused temporarily and regarded that as a terrible mistake that she made. Mentioning about him, she would never call him as “Yin Xuezhuo” anymore but only as “that devil”.
“That devil” had quietly brought Ji Yan outside and hid their breaths to eavesdrop on them.
Ji Yan shrank into Yin Xuezhuo’s arms. She held tight to the quilt while glanced sideways at Yin Xuezhuo’s expression.
They were originally there to investigate the enemy’s situation but she never expected such coincidence that she heard the Devil Lord’s old flame, Yin Miaorou’s voice.
Was she counted as her old flame? Ji Yan didn’t know what was going on with them.
But in short, the current Devil Lord had a gloomy expression.
His whole body was emitting black aura and his nails silently became very long. The corners of his eyes were red to the extent of almost bloody, his complexion became paler and his eyes were black and cold. The corners of his eyes were scary and sickly distorted.
A manic and gloomy killing expression.
The conversation in the house continued.
“Rou Er, you don’t have to worry. According to her words, it is the Devil Lord who wants to get back the Black Ice Scales under the spiritual veins. He kept her alive just to make use of her. Brother Feng and I have sent people to monitor her secretly for so many days. There was nothing wrong so I think she won’t lie to us.”
“That Devil Lord hasn’t appeared in the past few days, but Chi Yang is already eyeing covetously outside Linshuang City. I guess he is waiting for the opportunity.”
