So it turns out I'm the demon!

Jiang Mu gasped for breath, seeing that the lines on her arms had completely disappeared. She then closed her eyes and focused her consciousness into her spiritual senses to carefully perceive the area. Confirming that Wenren Guhong had been completely rejected and removed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, that old dog really doesn't keep his promise."

Jiang Mu cursed inwardly, "Luckily, I had a backup plan against him."

However, just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in the area of ​​his shoulder blades, as if something had appeared there. Before he could even perceive it, a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

The Twin Wings of Mara.

With soul power as its bones and demonic energy as its feathers, it can flap its wings for hundreds of feet in an instant.

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat, then she was overjoyed.

It seems that when Wenren Guhong was forcibly expelled from his body, he was actually left with a natal magical artifact!

He tried to activate his supernatural powers.

First, I felt an intense itch on my back, near my shoulder blades, as if something was breaking through the soil under my skin.

He slowly poured in the demonic energy.

The next moment, a pair of enormous, illusory wings suddenly unfolded from behind him.

Its wingspan is over three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Each feather, formed from demonic energy, was adorned with dazzling runes.

With a flap of its wings, demonic energy swirled and rose between the wings like black flames, exuding a strange beauty.

"This is good stuff!"

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Mu's eyes, and a thought struck him.

"boom!"

With a flap of its wings, a violent hurricane swept up from the ground.

Jiang Mu tore through the air like a bolt of lightning, soaring straight into the heavens.

He circled freely in the air a few times, enjoying the thrill of speed, then folded his wings and landed back on the ground.

Although the magic wings consume a lot of magic energy, they are practical and stylish.

At least in the future, if I want to go to the sky again, I won't have to be an idiot and keep throwing teleportation phantoms into the sky to "step on my right foot with my left foot," because that scene looks really stupid.

Jiang Mu retracted his demonic wings and grinned, saying:

"Having entered my body, it's only right that you leave something behind. Right, Senior Wenren?"

Composing herself, Jiang Mu looked around.

The forest was very quiet, without any birdsong or insect chirping.

Jiang Mu muttered to himself:

"Judging from what that old ghost said, this place should be a blessed land left behind by some great cultivator, similar to a secret realm, and must contain great opportunities. Since I was teleported in, that poisonous woman Nan Zhi should most likely have been dragged in as well."

The thought of that woman sent a murderous glint through Jiang Mu's eyes.

Ever since he transmigrated, this woman has been relentlessly plotting against him.

Now that we've run into each other in this secluded paradise, I must kill her, both for old and new grudges.

Just then, his gaze fell upon the broken statue in the distance.

The statue was flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The frequency of the light was much faster than before, as if urging something.

Jiang Mu thought to himself that, given Nan Zhi's personality, she would definitely not miss such a strange phenomenon. Rather than wandering around aimlessly in the fog, he might as well go directly to the statue and wait for her to come to him.

He spread his wings and flew towards the statue.

On the other side, Duanmu Li was carrying the tomb knife and walking towards the statue.

Halfway there, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from the woods beside them.

Duanmu Li stopped in her tracks, her cool eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look.

Suddenly, the bushes in front of them were smashed open, and more than twenty wolf demons, each the size of a calf, rushed out.

These wolf demons were clearly driven mad by the previous blood moon.

Upon seeing the girl in the black dress, he was like a demon seeing delicious meat, drooling and roaring as he pounced on her.

Duanmu Li snorted coldly, and spun the tomb knife halfway in her hand.

A simple sweep.

The three wolf demons at the forefront were swept away, the muffled sound of bones shattering echoing as their bodies flew backward.

Although these demonic creatures were frenzied and fearless, they were still only low- to mid-level demonic creatures of the fourth or fifth rank. They posed no threat to Duanmu Li, who had already been tempered in life-or-death battles.

She then turned around and flicked her blade upwards, slicing open the two wolf demons that were lunging at the back of her neck from their abdomens.

Internal organs and blood were splattered all over the ground.

Before the remaining wolf demons could pounce again, she flipped her wrist, and the blade drew a complete circle around her.

After circling around, there were more than twenty wolf carcasses on the ground, broken in two.

Duanmu Li stood expressionless in the pool of blood.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he shook a string of blood beads off the tip of the tomb knife and onto the ground.

Pitter-patter!

Just then, a foul gust of wind suddenly came from behind.

A giant python, as thick as a water bucket, suddenly dangled from the treetop, its gaping maw revealing four sharp, venomous fangs, and it lunged to bite down on the girl's head.

A dark aura flashed in Duanmu Li's eyes, and she was about to turn around and swing her knife.

A dark red blade of energy suddenly swept in, slicing into the giant python's open mouth.

It was cut open from the throat all the way down to the seventh inch, and then out from the seventh inch, bringing out a fan-shaped mist of blood.

The giant python's body froze in mid-air.

Then it broke into several pieces and crashed to the ground with a clatter.

Duanmu Li turned around in surprise.

Then they saw Jiang Mu standing not far away.

Behind the man, a pair of enormous wings shrouded in demonic energy were slowly folding away.

The girl's beautiful eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and she exclaimed:

"Jiang Mu!"

She ran up to the man and asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Mu reached out and ruffled her hair, saying with a hint of reproach, "Didn't I tell you to stay safely in the carriage? Why did you come here?" Although she was scolding her, Jiang Mu was actually grateful to the girl.

If Duanmu Li hadn't intervened and shattered the ballista when Chen Xuan launched the Thunderclap, although he wouldn't have been killed by the explosion due to his eighth-level cultivation, he would have been severely injured, given the suppression of his soul.

Duanmu Li's head was ruffled, and this time, unusually, she didn't dodge.

She pouted her pink lips slightly and said in an annoyed tone:

"It's all because of that idiot Chu Lingzhu. She said she would come out to help you slay the demon. But then she found some strange-looking poisonous plants nearby and insisted that they were very effective when used in poisons."

We couldn't refuse her, and she dragged us along to help with the picking.

Then suddenly it got dark, and I got separated from them. Oh, and that gluttonous little princess was also made to dig up grass roots by Chu Lingzhu.

"Separated?"

Jiang Mu's face darkened. "Where's Ji Hongyuan? Wasn't she watching over you?"

"Ji Hongyuan? Who is that?"

Duanmu Li blinked her big eyes in a blank expression.

Jiang Mu slapped his forehead, only then remembering.

Ji Hongyuan remained in a hidden soul form. If she didn't reveal herself, Chu Lingzhu and Duanmu Li wouldn't be able to sense her presence.

It seems that Ji Hongyuan did not return to their side before, and was probably scattered by the explosion of the Buddha lamp.

Jiang Mu felt helpless.

This Chu Lingzhu really deserves to be tied to the bed and thoroughly roasted.

Last time in Shuer Village, it was this girl who ran off to see a doctor, and ended up getting Lan Rou'er into a secret realm.

This time, things have gotten even worse; he's caused trouble again.

But then again, despite her anger, Jiang Mu wasn't particularly panicked.

Although Chu Lingzhu is a troublemaker, she has a keen instinct for avoiding danger and escaping, and can always make the right judgment in a crisis. As long as Yuan Aqing and the others are with her, and given that he left the awning treasure boat to them before leaving, they should be able to survive for a few days with the boat's protective barrier.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the statue first."

Jiang Mu said.

As he spoke, he opened his arms.

Duanmu Li looked puzzled and asked warily, "What?"

"Can't you see the wings behind me? I'll fly you there."

Jiang Mu flapped her wings.

The wind whipped up by the wingtips made the girl's hair fly up from her forehead.

"oh oh."

Duanmu Li obediently stepped forward and opened her slender arms to hug the man.

As soon as he got close, the girl's delicate nose twitched twice, and she frowned in disgust: "You smell awful."

Jiang Mu slapped her on the forehead:

"Nonsense, how could you smell good after rolling around in a pile of corpses? Hold on tight, let me show you what it feels like to fly." Whoosh!

Jiang Mu's demonic wings fluttered.

The two transformed into a towering black pillar, spiraling upwards into the heavens, instantly rising hundreds of feet.

The howling wind whistled in my ears, and the mountains and forests and white mist below shrank rapidly in my sight, turning into a green and white carpet.

Duanmu Li was held protectively in Jiang Mu's arms.

The girl's long, black hair fluttered wildly in the wind, and her skirt billowed.

The wind passes through the clouds, and people travel towards the horizon.

The girl looked up at the man holding her, then quietly pressed her face against his chest, a smile curving her lips.

But just as this artistic conception was reaching its peak...

suddenly!

It was as if an invisible, ancient giant hand was slamming down from the sky.

Before Jiang Mu could react to what was happening, she felt the wings on her back immediately lose all demonic energy support and dissipate into smoke.

boom! !

The two of them were like two meteorites that had been knocked down, crashing to the ground.

Jiang Mu slammed his back to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Duanmu Li lay on top of him.

Fortunately, he acted as a human cushion, and the girl was only coughing a few times from the shock and was not seriously injured.

"Cough cough cough..."

The girl, feeling dizzy, raised her head and looked at the equally bewildered and disheveled man beneath her, asking:

"Jiang Mu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Mu was in so much pain that she grimaced, and she was also very confused.

He coughed and said, "Maybe you've gained weight recently, you're too heavy."

üの」

Duanmu Li's eyes widened.

The girl puffed out her cheeks, revealing two sharp little fangs, like a wildcat with its fur standing on end, glaring fiercely at him: "You're the fat one!!"

Jiang Mu shoved the menacing little wildcat off him, brushed the dirt off his body, stood up, and looked up at the sky. He tentatively tried circulating his demonic energy again.

Its wings had barely spread for less than a zhang before they were mercilessly crushed.

Jiang Muxin had her answer and said:

"It seems this area has been placed under a no-fly zone; we can't fly at all except on foot. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to walk."

"No-fly zone?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Actually... the feeling of being held by him in the sky just now was quite nice.

The girl's eyes darted around, then she suddenly frowned, cried out "Ouch!" and squatted down, rubbing her slender, shapely legs with her small hands, looking pitiful.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Mu turned around and asked with a frown.

Duanmu Li frowned, her pretty face showing her grievance, and said, "When I fell just now, my leg seems to be injured. It hurts so much, and I can't walk." "Oh, I see."

Jiang Mu nodded and said,

"Then you find a safe place to stay here first. I'll go check out the situation by myself and come back for you once I've figured it out."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward.

üの」

Duanmu Liren was dumbfounded.

This script is wrong.

Shouldn't it be the male lead, with a heavy heart, carrying the wounded and frail female lead on his back, strolling along a romantic forest path?

Seeing the man walk further and further away, he really showed no intention of turning back.

Duanmu Li stomped her feet in anger, grinding her little tiger teeth in frustration. She could only carry the heavy tomb knife and jog after him. Hearing the footsteps behind her, Jiang Mu turned and looked at her with a half-smile:

"Your leg is healed so quickly?"

Duanmu Li's face was tense, and she sulked without saying a word.

Jiang Mu found it amusing to see her puffed-up face and instinctively reached out to pat her head.

But Duanmu Li turned her head away in disgust.

The girl coldly retorted, "Men and women should not touch each other; please have some self-respect."

"Oh, you're still angry."

Jiang Mu chuckled softly, turned around, and bent down.

"Okay, seeing how you fell just now, it's true that you have some difficulty moving around. Come on, I'll carry you for a while."

"No need."

Duanmu Li kept her eyes straight ahead, her chin slightly raised, her long black hair swaying behind her, exuding a cold and aloof beauty with a touch of childish arrogance. "Really not going to carry it? Then forget it, I'll save my energy."

Jiang Mu made a move to straighten up.

"Whoosh!"

Before the words were even finished, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

The girl leaped onto the man's back like a bird, her slender arms encircling his neck.

Jiang Mu paused for a moment, feeling the light, delicate body on his back, then shook his head helplessly, supporting her legs as he continued along the path. Duanmu Li nestled against the man's broad, warm back, resting her chin gently on his shoulder.

The girl's lips curled up slightly.

Then, remembering that she was still angry, she added coldly, "My leg really is injured, I'm not lying to you."

Jiang Mu didn't reply.

She was silent for a few moments, then added sullenly, "I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Hearing the warm breath on his ear, Jiang Mu chuckled:

"Okay, puppy."

"You one!"

Duanmu Li was furious and wanted to bite him, but then she remembered that she was being carried comfortably on someone's back, so she swallowed her anger. She buried her face in Jiang Mu's neck and hummed:

"...A puppy is a puppy."
