“Swish!!”

Xia Mian attacked instantly, and she thought it was the fastest attack she had ever made in her life.

And it's accurate, aiming directly at the opponent's throat.

But...

“Pah.”

Faster than her dagger was a hand that grabbed her wrist with ease.

When Xia Mian saw that very familiar face, which was clearly the second time they met, smiling and gazing at her.

She couldn't help but slightly open her lips.

"It's you... Ugh!"

Her mouth was covered by the other person's other hand.

She was stunned for a moment. This kind of treatment was unprecedented, so it was natural for her to resist vigorously.

But soon, she heard the other party's light words.

"Are you trying to make some noise to let the entire Eighteen Sword Sect know that there is a third princess of the demon clan from the Abyssal Devil Realm hiding here?"

The girl dressed as a man's eyes widened uncontrollably, with bloodshot eyes.

How could he know!

How can it be...

Who betrayed himself?

Could it be...my 'good sisters'?

When Xu Qingyan held her wrist, covered her lips, and said these words that shocked her to the point of losing consciousness for a moment.

This was the thought that flashed through Xia Mian's mind instantly.

She was indeed from the Abyssal Demon Realm, and was the third princess of the Demon Clan who held a distinguished position in the Abyssal Demon Realm.

But she concealed her identity very well, not only did she use the secret family magic to hide her magic power, she even added the double insurance of disguising herself as a man.

After all, I have a tall figure that stands out among women.

I didn't want people to have any associations, so I deliberately chose the unspecial gender identity of a man.

This is also one of the advantages of the demon clan.

I have done everything I could, how could he know all this? No... this is impossible!

Xu Qingyan looked at her with slightly confused eyes, as if she was really confused.

He just smiled casually and said.

"Okay, stop yelling and I'll let you go. But don't even think about doing anything sneaky, or the consequences will be unpredictable."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Mian nodded.

So Xu Qingyan did as he said, reaching out to take the dagger coated with poison from her hand, and also loosened his hand that was covering her red lips.

Suddenly Xia Mian took two steps back.

When the man covered her mouth with his hand, she instinctively felt disgust and resentment.

But she now has a more important step.

He looked doubtful and looked at Xu Qingyan warily.

"What nonsense are you talking about that I don't understand? The Demonic Realm outside the Abyss... The Third Princess? This young master is the real deal..."

"If you insist that I strip you naked to prove it, I am willing to do it."

Xu Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said something that made Xia Mian's face turn red.

She said nothing.

Instead, he was thinking about where he got the information from and who betrayed him, which made him speak so confidently and confidently.

Xu Qingyan seemed to have seen through the other party's thoughts.

He sat down on an ordinary chair in the other person's room slowly, crossed his legs, and spoke lazily.

"Don't try to figure out how I know your identity, and don't think about finding an opportunity to kill me. You are not qualified to know these things right now."

"Xu Qingyan... don't think that just because you are an inner sect disciple, you can do whatever you want..."

"Not only do I know your identity, I also know why you became an outer disciple of the Eighteen Sword Sect. Do you believe it?"

"...I don't know what you're talking about."

Xia Mian still denied it, but her eyes could not help but betray her suspicion at the moment.

Did he really know?

Impossible... Knowing his identity, there may be many reasons to explain it, but his purpose, even in the Abyss Demon Realm, not many people in his family know about it, so he can't possibly...

"Your purpose in coming to the Eighteen Sword Sect is simple. You want to complete the coming-of-age ceremony that all demon clan members must complete. According to your clan's rules... you should kill a human enemy that they have chosen for you."

"..."

Xia Mian felt like her breathing was frozen. The bright moonlight could not penetrate the window paper, but her delicate face was pale.

As he watched the tall girl's expression change, Xu Qingyan smiled, like a messenger from the underworld announcing her death.

"You have to kill Hong Jiao, the leader of the Chiyang Mountain of the Eighteen Sword Sect. Because all the people who want to become adults in the demon clan have to undergo a trial. In your clan, the conditions of this trial are even more stringent, that is, you must complete it alone. If you complete it, you will be recognized by the clan members, and you will get more resources and a higher status in the clan. If you fail, you will become an outcast of the clan, proven to be useless, and even expelled from the clan.

Even if you are the third princess."

In fact, Xia Mian was almost unable to stand, and her fists hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly.

Because so far...what the other party said is all right.

How did he get such detailed information? The trial of adulthood is a very secretive matter. Even in his own family, only three people know the whole story.

But now Xia Mian could only stay calm, maintain his last bit of composure, and even look calm as he sat beside his bed, curling up the corners of his mouth that actually didn't have much color.

"Even if I am the third princess of the demon clan, you knew my strength during the sect's exam. If I remember correctly, the master of Chiyang Mountain is in the late stage of soul cultivation, and is only one step away from the golden elixir realm. What qualifications do I have to kill him? Isn't it like an ant trying to shake a tree?"

Xu Qingyan just smiled.

"If I'm not mistaken, your plan is to become an inner sect disciple, then go to the foot of Chiyang Mountain, find an opportunity to get close to him while cultivating your own strength, and then when the time is right, use your talent for familiarity with poisons and good use of formations to kill him."

Guess?

You guessed it so clearly?!

Xia Mian felt like his brain was going to explode. There was too much information that he couldn't explain. The face of this apparently young and handsome boy in front of him looked so scary and mysterious.

Who is he?

Why haven't I heard of it before?

Xia Mian still wanted to find an excuse, trying to find a way to escape from the human race's situation.

She no longer had any hope of staying in the Eighteen Sword Sect to continue her plan. With this young man around, that was impossible.

At this time Xu Qingyan spoke again.

"Don't even think of any excuses. You should know that no matter what reasons or excuses you give to prove that you are not a demon, as long as I tell the sect master that I feel the breath of the demon on you, there is absolutely no way you can escape from the human race. Sooner or later, everything will be revealed to the world, right?"

"..."

"..."

silence.

There was a long silence.

Xia Mian raised her head and stared at Xu Qingyan with a look that was completely different from the indifference she had pretended to have before.

"What is your purpose?"

Xu Qingyan laughed out loud.

"That's right, we could have been frank a long time ago." Then he slowly stood up with his knees supported, and said under Xia Mian's fixed gaze: "I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

"trade?"

Did I hear wrong?

A human cultivator wants to negotiate a deal with a demon disciple?

Xu Qingyan nodded.

"I can help you kill Hong Jiao, but you have to do something for me."

"Why did you help me kill Hong Jiao? Do you have a grudge against him?"

Xia Mian did not engage in any boring denial or resistance.

The sect's test and what happened at the door just now proved that there was absolutely no chance of a successful sneak attack.

For the time being, I can only figure out his purpose and find a way out of danger.

The task is temporarily terminated and can be continued in the future, but when a person dies, everything is gone.

The more dangerous the moment, the more you must stay calm. This is the advice my mother gave me.

Xu Qingyan blinked his eyes, revealing a liveliness that didn't match his mysterious temperament.

"How should I put it? He and I don't have a direct blood feud. But he... He usually looks righteous, but in fact he often exploits the younger generation with his power, and even deceives them. And what he likes to do most is to torture the captives captured from the demons, and even torture the demon women into stupid idiots and then throw them back to the outer demon realm... I can't stand it. Well, I am too righteous."

He even looked at Xia Mian with a look of deep pain.

"Do you know the feeling of having a strong sense of justice?"

Sense of justice? Ugh!

Xia Mian almost couldn't help but spit on the other person's face.

Would he have a sense of justice for a man who first ruined his sect's exam and then found him late at night and treated him in such a threatening tone?

Just like my mother said.

Adults talk about business and consider interests.

Good or evil? It doesn't really matter.

But she nodded in agreement.

"I can understand that, but I don't know...what are the conditions for you to help me? What do you want me to do for you?"

"Oh, nothing, just something to sign."

"Sign what?"

"Slave contract. Well, it's the kind of contract that you demons are very good at, where one is the master and the other is the slave. If the slave goes against the master's wishes or even hurts the master, he or she will be fatally punished."

"..."

"By the way, to prevent you from misunderstanding, I will add one more sentence. I am the master and you are the slave. Don't make the mistake."

Xia Mian needed a lot of rationality to ensure that he would not punch the boy, whose face he hated so much at this moment.

She took a deep breath, not hiding the disgust and nausea in her eyes.

"Is this your sense of justice, Master Xu?"

He bent down and brought his face close.

Under the moonlight, his ease and her gradually flushed face contrasted with each other.

There is very little gap between the two faces with different styles and unique beauty.

It seems that only the moonlight can penetrate tenaciously.

He spoke in a low voice.

"I am a righteous person, and you are an evil person. I haven't killed you yet. I don't know if this is justice, but I am definitely giving you face. What do you think, Princess Xia?"

As the name suggests, the Abyssal Demon Realm is the opposing force of the human race in the six states.

Unlike the ambiguous relationship between the demons and humans, the demons and humans living outside the abyss have an irreconcilable hatred.
