"I guess I know him, but... I've only met him once."

"When?"

"Before, when Ye Shi was not at home, she came to my door and wanted to sign a house contract with me..."

"..."

Ye Si covered the lower half of his face with his hands, his bright red eyes narrowed into a slit, and a sharp murderous aura leaked out through his pupils.

She had an impression of this incident.

At that time, when carrying out an investigation mission for the first time, this "Devil's personal bodyguard" came directly to the house and almost tricked Yu Yi into signing a contract.

I originally thought that this mysterious figure was the same monster as the "ghost" that attacked me, but it seems that I misjudged it.

Now, the devil's minions finally reached over here, about to grab their throats.

"Ye Shi, let's run away!"

Bang!

Gentle touch.

In the interval of thinking, Yu Yi rushed forward, hugged Ye Si tightly, buried her head in his shoulders, and said in a trembling voice in his ear:

"Let's run away now, to a deserted place. Maybe... the Demon King will let us go, and then..."

The sound became quieter and quieter until it was silent, with only the whimpering breathing remaining.

Ye Shi knew that Yu Yi was very scared.

Her frail body kept shaking, like a kitten caught in the rain, completely different from her usual strong appearance.

However, seeing Yu Yi like this, Ye Si's heart calmed down.

"I can't run away."

She put her arms around her girlfriend's back, held her tightly in her arms, closed her eyes, and felt her body temperature and heartbeat.

Can't run away.

Once she escapes, the war will destroy everything, including the city that Yu Yi cherishes. She doesn't want Yu Yi to experience the despair she once felt.

The demon world is a huge birdcage. No matter where you run to, you will eventually be isolated inside by the barrier until there is no way to retreat.

If his identity is exposed, the only way to survive is to... kill the "Demon King".

Now, the other party has sent a personal bodyguard to meet with me, so maybe there is still room for maneuver.

Even if the other party really intends to kill her, defeating the guard and prying the information about the Demon King from her mouth might be the best approach.

"I will meet with the guard."

"B-but..."

"no problem."

Ye Shi separated from Yu Yi, reached out to touch her soft face, his fingertips brushed across the slightly red corners of her eyes, and said in a firm tone:

“I am…very powerful…”

"ah.."

Yu Yi opened her eyes wide, and a gleam of light flashed across her pupils.

This is what she often said when showing off Ye Shi in front of her friends.

In the past, when I said this, I didn't have the slightest confidence in my heart, but now...

Touch

She placed her hand on the back of Ye Si's hand, feeling the warmth and firm belief from him.

This time, she decided... to trust Ye Shi.

“Be careful…”

Yu Yi buried her face in Ye Si's chest, feeling his gentle touch and the hot heartbeat.

"You can't leave me alone."

"Ah."

"If you encounter danger, you must run away..."

"clear."

"If the situation becomes too critical, I will also plead with the Demon King..."

"Don't worry..."

...

In this small corner of the demon world, the two of them snuggled together, holding hands tightly, feeling the warmth from each other, and it lasted for a very long time.

..

The next day, early in the morning.

"lets go."

Ye Shi drove to the agreed location with a cat as fat as a pig tucked under his arm, ready to duel with the Demon King.

"and many more."

However, the pig she was holding seemed to have some objections.

"Wait a minute, sir! If you want to be a hero, go by yourself. Why are you taking me with you to die?! I still want to keep living!"

Mochi twisted his body desperately, his face full of fear, and his four short legs paddled frantically in the air.

"Aren't we partners?" Ye Shi said righteously.

"What a jerk! You kicked me out a while ago. You... treated me like a burden when you were no longer needed, and now you're trying to get close to me for no reason?!"

Mochi is about to explode with anger.

This morning, it felt very strange that Ye Si actually took it to eat delicious food and offered it all kinds of dishes to choose from, which made it very happy.

When he was full and grinning, Ye Si said lightly... "We might have to fight the Demon King later."

"Is this the final meal?! I shouldn't have trusted you. Let me go back now. I'm warning you again, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"

Moshu's tear glands burst, and the screams like a pig being slaughtered spread all around.

"Shut up."

Ye Shi squeezed the mochi hard under his armpits, and it was squeezed into an oval shape like a balloon. The breakfast he had just eaten almost returned to its original shape.

「Click」

At this moment, the back door was slowly opened.

The two feet wrapped in small leather shoes stretched out, and fell to the ground with a "hey whoosh". The schoolbag on the back shook, and the cherry-colored eyes flashed with anxiety under the shade of the tree.

It was Yu Yi in school uniform.

She's here because...

The agreed meeting place of the Demon King's guards is somewhere in the academy.

Before completely breaking off relations, Ye Shi planned to let Yu Yi continue to go to school as usual, otherwise it would be too suspicious.

There is another reason. Even if she really fights with the Demon King's guards, she can deal with them in the first place, come to Yu Yi and take her away.

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to leave Yuyi alone at home.

"Ye Shi, I'm still worried..."

Yuyi lowered her head and clenched the hem of her skirt with her small hands. She seemed to have heard what Mochi had just said and felt uneasy.

Her mental state was not very good either, and there were still dark circles at the corners of her eyes caused by lack of sleep.

"no problem."

All Ye Shi could do was to comfort her repeatedly and alleviate her worries.

"Hmm..." Yu Yi pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

She knew very well that there was no point in continuing to worry, as it would only infect Ye Shi with her uneasy emotions.

Right now, what Ye Si needs most is encouragement.

"Ye Shi...and Shu Shu, you must come back safely."

"rest assured."

Ye Shi covered Mochi's mouth and nodded to make the decision for it.

Yuyi held the shoulder strap of her schoolbag tightly, stepped into the morning sunshine, and walked towards the campus.

He looked back every three steps, reluctant to leave Ye Si. He trotted back, stood on tiptoe to hug her, and then he finally made up his mind to leave, gradually disappearing in the academy.

"It's time to act."

Ye Si glanced at the clock tower not far away. The time to meet the Demon King's guards was approaching, so he hugged the crying Mochi and walked to the other corner of the campus.

..

..

"cat."

Inside the dark building, a girl muttered to herself.

Chapter 224 Church

"It should be here."

The morning light illuminated the ivory-white church, and the ancient bell rang out a solemn sound, scaring away the white doves at its feet, and a few feathers like the first snow fluttered down.

“Amitabha… Amitabha…”

Mochi kept repenting for his past mistakes, shaking non-stop as if in vibration mode, and muttering to himself.

However, praying for Buddha's blessing in front of the church may lead to jurisdictional disputes, and the effect is unlikely to be good.

"..."

Ye Si placed his hand near the cat's mouth, ready to respond to the attack. His red eyes looked around under the scorching sun, but he didn't see anyone.

it's wired...

All I could feel was the cool breeze in the early morning. There wasn't a hint of murderous intent or a feeling of being surrounded. The surroundings were unexpectedly peaceful.

Is this a delaying tactic? Or is there some conspiracy?

...

Half an hour later...

Tick-tock

The crisp sound of high heels drove away the white doves in front of the church.

Ye Shi shook her ears, stood up from the bench where she was feeding pigeons, picked up the mochi tied to the street light, and looked in the direction of the sound.

That's...a demon.

A real devil.

The inky black hair and black feathers blended into the shadows of the church, exuding a creepy aura, and the dark gray pupils were as cold as inorganic matter.

She was tall, with her hands intertwined and placed just below her abdomen, looking like a servant from an aristocratic family. She was wearing a gorgeous black suit and was looking over here quietly.

On the ground, black feathers and white feathers swirled around each other.

"It's over!"

Mochi let out a high-pitched scream and his face turned ashen.

It could feel that the other party, like the god of death who controlled death, had already placed the scythe on its neck.

Ye Shi became more alert.
