Chapter 1823: Heavenly Evil Demon Sect
"Ugh!"
"What just happened to me?"
"Why is it you? Why are you holding my hand? You pervert! Creepy rogue!"
Liu Yiyi quickly woke up.
However, she was completely oblivious to what had just happened. Seeing Xiao Zheng squatting in front of her and holding her wrist made her instantly furious with shame.
She slapped hard and swung it towards Xiao Zheng!
Seeing this, everyone gasped!
Xiao Zheng, however, remained expressionless. He reached out and grabbed Liu Yiyi’s hand directly, then discreetly pressed her vital point, instantly making her body weak: "You better behave yourself. If I knew you would repay kindness with ingratitude, I shouldn’t have saved you just now."
"Repay kindness with ingratitude? What nonsense are you talking about? You clearly took advantage of me!" Although Liu Yiyi was weak all over, she could still speak.
Upon hearing her words, Mo Ye, standing not far away, felt embarrassed: "Miss, just now, he really did save you..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi was taken aback, then seemingly thought of something and asked, "Mo Ye, did I have another episode just now?"
Mo Ye nodded, with a wry smile on his face.
Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with confusion when he heard Liu Yiyi’s "again," which caught his attention: "What? Do you regularly have episodes like this?"
Liu Yiyi finally stopped being unreasonable.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but nod with some embarrassment: "I often have episodes like just now, but usually taking two red pills makes it better."
"But for some reason, it didn’t work this time."
"Oh, I’m really sorry for earlier."
"It was my fault for blaming you..."
Liu Yiyi blushed, not daring to look directly at Xiao Zheng.
Seeing her sincere attitude, Xiao Zheng wasn’t petty enough to argue with a young girl: "Let’s forget it this time. Just remember not to wrongfully accuse someone without understanding the truth next time."
After saying this, he went straight back to his seat.
Liu Yiyi watched Xiao Zheng’s back, as if she still had something to say to him, but after opening her mouth, she swallowed the words back down.
Xiao Zheng didn’t know, but Liu Yiyi’s impression of him had completely changed.
At present, what caught his curiosity was Liu Yiyi’s condition.
Xiao Zheng had great faith in his ability to see through things. Since he had perceived Liu Yiyi as experiencing ’deviation during cultivation,’ repeated episodes should be impossible. However, Liu Yiyi had just stated that she often had similar episodes before, only today was more severe.
"Could it be a problem with her Cultivation Technique that causes her to repeatedly experience these symptoms?"
"When examining her body earlier, I noticed something unusual in her energy, similar to the feeling Cao Xuan from the Flame Demon Sect gave me. Is it possible she and Mo Ye are with the Demon Alliance?"
Xiao Zheng thought this over and found it increasingly plausible.
He couldn’t help but glance back at Liu Yiyi, not knowing if it was a coincidence or if she had been watching him the whole time, their eyes met across the distance, leaving both of them somewhat stunned.
"He’s watching me!"
"Could he possibly have taken a liking to me?"
Liu Yiyi quickly lowered her head, her mind racing, her face turning red.
To Xiao Zheng, everything seemed inexplicably peculiar. This girl seemed somewhat mysterious in every aspect.
The rest of the trip went without any further incidents.
Two and a half hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Zhonghai Airport.
Xiao Zheng, finally home, thought of Leng Ruobing, and felt a thrill of excitement in his heart. But he hadn’t forgotten about the strange duo of Liu Yiyi and Mo Ye.
As he deboarded, he deliberately slowed his pace.
Sure enough, as he expected, Liu Yiyi did catch up: "Hey, you, wait up..."
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for Xiao Zheng to hear.
Xiao Zheng’s lips curled into a knowingly playful smile as he turned around, pretending to be puzzled: "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, I didn’t get a chance to thank you earlier, so if you don’t mind, could I treat you to a meal?" Liu Yiyi said, blushing, "Don’t get me wrong, I just want to repay you for saving my life."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "No need for a meal, I don’t want to be mistaken as a pervert again later."
Her face turned even redder from his teasing: "Why are you so petty? I already apologized..."
Now she seemed completely different from her previous feisty self.
It left Xiao Zheng unsure which face was her true self.
"Fine, if you won’t accept my gratitude, I can’t force you to have a meal with me," Liu Yiyi said reluctantly. "We’re catching another flight to Canglong City anyway. Maybe we’ll meet again if fate allows."
"Canglong City? Are you from there?" Xiao Zheng asked, somewhat surprised.
Liu Yiyi nodded: "Yes, my home is in Weibei Canglong City. We just returned from abroad, actually..."
Before she could finish, Mo Ye coughed twice, signaling her not to reveal too much to outsiders.
Only then did Liu Yiyi realize she’d said too much, and hurriedly added, "Anyway, I live in Canglong City. Here’s my phone number; you can call me if you ever visit."
Xiao Zheng took the slip of paper she handed him, where a phone number was neatly written: "Alright, I know. If I ever get the chance to visit, I’ll definitely call."
"Then it’s settled. Until we meet again, if destiny wills it," Liu Yiyi waved at him before leaving with Mo Ye.
But she kept looking back, seemingly reluctant to leave.
Her wistful gaze caught by Xiao Zheng made him chuckle: "Looks like even now, my charm hasn’t diminished at all. Just curing this girl’s ailment has her so taken by me."
"Ah, being good-looking sure feels like a burden."
"I didn’t expect her family to live in Canglong City. If I remember correctly, the documents Long Qie gave me about the Demon Alliance mentioned the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, the most powerful in the alliance, is based there."
"This girl practices Demon Techniques, and her hometown is in Canglong City."
"Could it be she has a deep connection with the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect?"
Xiao Zheng watched as Liu Yiyi’s figure disappeared into the distance, continually speculating in his mind.
