Seeing Chi Chi nod in agreement, Little Jiunian immediately broke into a smile.

Little Jiunian was overjoyed, flashing his small tiger teeth in a grin. He didn’t care about his injuries and hugged Little Chichi tightly, ignoring the grease on his lips, and planted a slobbery kiss on Little Chichi’s face.

"You, you, you... Stop teasing me, let me down!"

Little Chichi was so angry that his fur stood on end, and he kept waving his little paws.

The Vajra Star Ape beside them was stunned.

This Human Clan member actually dared to tease His Majesty?!

"Tease? What does tease mean?"

Little Jiunian blinked his eyes.

"You, you, you... You’re so dumb; I’m not talking to you anymore."

With disdain, Chi Chi used his paw to wipe his cheek, but if anyone with keen eyes saw, they would notice that Chi Chi was angry, yet his beautiful eyes accidentally curved into crescent moons.

"Hey, Chi Chi, don’t ignore me. What is this place anyway?"

Little Jiunian looked around and shrank his neck upon meeting the agitated gaze of the Vajra Star Ape.

"This is the lair of the Black Vajra. It’s a Great Demon in this area and used to follow my father... Anyway, I know it. It looks fierce, but it actually has a good heart. We’re in a dangerous situation now and can only stay here temporarily. Otherwise, it will bring trouble to the Black Vajra. When you’re feeling better, we’ll discuss where to place you."

This time, Chi Chi used demonic power to save Little Jiunian.

Even though he possesses Demon King-level blood, he is still young, and revealing his demonic power will undoubtedly attract the covetous eyes of nearby demon beasts.

But he doesn’t regret it at all. Little Jiunian took an arrow for him, and in Chi Chi’s heart, his importance has greatly increased.

He must leave here quickly, or his whereabouts will be tracked soon. If he falls into the hands of the enemy, especially that damn South Nether Emperor, it will be trouble.

"I’m already fine; we can depart tomorrow. You don’t have to worry about me. Wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you."

Little Jiunian is a considerate child. From Chi Chi’s words, he picked up on some unusual things.

It sounds like Chi Chi is very familiar with this area.

If it weren’t for him, Chi Chi would have escaped long ago.

"Fine already? How can it be so quick?"

Chi Chi was still a bit doubtful, but after peeking at Little Jiunian’s clothes, he saw it.

Sure enough, the arrow wound on Little Jiunian’s back had healed.

Chi Chi was puzzled. He and the Black Vajra only understood basic healing. Earlier, they were worried about Little Jiunian’s injury worsening. But now, upon closer inspection, did they luckily find Spirit Grass to heal Little Jiunian?

Chi Chi hasn’t known Little Jiunian for long, and he doesn’t know that Little Jiunian has inherited part of Yan Jiu’s Sky Demon Physique. Although his physique isn’t as ridiculously strong as Di Shen’s, as he is a half-blood of the Demon Clan and Human Clan, his physique is at least dozens of times stronger than that of a typical Martial Artist.

"Following me... but do you know where I’m going? My home is in Beiyu Palace in the Demon World; from the Central Plains region, even taking the nearest demon road, it takes half a month to get there, and there could be dangerous demon beasts on the way which might tear you to pieces."

Chi Chi was initially delighted to hear that Little Jiunian was willing to go home with him, but soon, he became worried.

"But besides your home, I have nowhere else to go. I can’t return to Qing Province Continent. I’ve offended those bad people from the Jiu Provinces Alliance. They seem very influential, even more so than our Daxia’s Emperor. I also can’t go to find my aunt now; she would be dragged into my troubles."

Little Jiunian calmly said.

Such orderly words coming from Little Jiunian astonished Chi Chi, and even the Black Vajra glanced at Little Jiunian in surprise.

This little Human Clan child has a great sense of justice.

Thinking it over, Little Jiunian still felt that following Chi Chi was the safest option.

Even though Chi Chi said he was a demon, Little Jiunian not only didn’t hate him but felt an inexplicable closeness.

"You said it, but before departure, you have to learn some martial arts with Black Vajra. You’re so clumsy; if you don’t know even the basic martial arts, you’ll definitely drag me down on the journey. This time, I’m saving you to repay your life-saving grace, but there won’t be a next time."

Chi Chi had a look of disdain. Moreover, Chi Chi had selfish reasons for letting Little Jiunian learn martial arts.

He knows that in the demon world, especially in places like Beiyu Palace, being weak not only means being despised, sometimes it can cost you your life.

Without hesitation, Little Jiunian eagerly agreed.

"Just to warn you, learning martial arts is really tough. Smart and excellent like me, I barely learned any moves back then, so don’t complain midway."

Chi Chi was really just saying that, thinking a young master like Little Jiunian would certainly not last a few days before giving up.

Unexpectedly, in the following few days, Little Jiunian surprised Chi Chi greatly.

Due to his poor martial arts foundation and that Black Vajra was teaching him martial arts, on the first day, Little Jiunian ended up getting beaten up.

At first, Chi Chi still mocked and laughed from the side, but seeing Little Jiunian battered and bruised, he was furious.

In anger, Chi Chi yelled a few times at Black Vajra.

Black Vajra was so scared its knees grew weak, timidly looking at Chi Chi.

But on the second day, the situation began to change; at least the number of times Little Jiunian got beaten decreased significantly (of course, a large part of the reason was that Black Vajra didn’t dare go all out).

By the third day, Little Jiunian almost didn’t get beaten at all. Sometimes, he could even sneak in a few attacks when Black Vajra wasn’t paying attention.

On the fourth day, the honest Black Vajra told Chi Chi he could take Little Jiunian to depart for the Beiyu Palace.

Black Vajra told Chi Chi he had a high talent, yet the martial arts of the Vajra Star Ape clan didn’t suit Little Jiunian, and he had no way to teach him more advanced martial arts.

Chi Chi then realized Little Jiunian was hiding his capabilities.

Little Jiunian hugged Chi Chi as they walked out of Black Vajra’s lair.

It was his first time, properly observing the Central Plains region.

The sky was high, and the wind was cold, looking out across the vast earth.

In the distant horizons, beastly roars rumbled like angry thunder, filling the air.

"Chi Chi, what kind of place is the Demon World?"

Little Jiunian’s heart stirred, and he suddenly asked out loud.

Chi Chi tilted his head in thought and smugly replied.

"The Demon World, well, it’s a place full of strong beings and challenges, but don’t worry, once you’re at Beiyu Palace, no one will bully you."

Strong beings?!

Little Jiunian’s eyes gleamed, and he suddenly was filled with anticipation for the upcoming journey to the Demon World.
