Shi Yan reacted quickly. She quickly caught the breakfast shop owner who was about to leave the stall and escape, settled the meal with him, and hurried home.

She also had a disabled father, Shi Qianli! Although he was not her father, and hated her, and had a heart for the original body, they had been getting along for a few years. Even if he was considered a landlord, it was not easy to leave him alone at this time.

On the way back, she saw the noisy scene on the other side of the city wall, the high-rise buildings rumbling down, smoke and dust everywhere. Half of the sky was full of dense beasts. It was said that the Great Devil of Winter City raised everything. There were a lot of such murderous beasts, and they were useful to attack cities.

To bring these fierce beasts into the city was just throwing a cat into a fish pile. She could imagine how fierce the scene would be.

The boss of the site of Hexian City was Hesao, the old city lord of the Demon Realm. He had been able to control Hexian City for so many years, and the strength of the outer barrier was conceivable. However, after only a short while, Shi Yan saw that the city wall was torn down for a while. 

A black giant snake that was thicker and taller than the city wall raised his head. His hideous face had a natural and cruel aura, and the big blood-red eyes shone cold and cruel light. It was this prehistoric behemoth-like fierce God who smashed through the barriers and walls of Crane Immortal City with his body. Shi Yan could see him clearly from a distance.

Although this was the first time she had seen the snake, Shi Yan knew the origin of this black giant snake. The pet of the Great Demon King Sima Jiao of Winter City. The giant snake had no name, but his reputation was as loud as his owner in the Demon Realm. Everyone called him a dragon to show respect.

When he turned over, the area in the north of the city collapsed in half. Shi Yan gasped. She was really afraid of snakes, even more so for such a big one.

The giant snake churned in the smoke and dust, making the sky full of it, making it as if the clouds were driving the fog. The demons in Crane Immortal City were terrified and their eyes were splitting. Some Winter City demon generals who came to attack Crane Immortal City were behind the giant snake and did not enter Crane Immortal City. They all knew that at this time, they had to wait for this snake ancestor to play. Only when it got happy could they move.

In Winter City, this huge black snake definitely had a special position. Their demon lord Sima Jiao was moody and cruel. Everyone was afraid of him. In the past few years, he killed countless people including the people who served him in succession.

After all these years, the only one who could stay by his side was this black giant snake.

Even if this giant snake had a bad brain and liked to play around, they had to take care of him. This time the master didn’t come personally, and the black snake followed. If there was something wrong with this black snake, things might not end well for them after they return.

Who would have thought that they looked proud from the outside, but they could only be humans with their tails between their legs when they returned to Winter City. They were not counted as intelligent as a snake.

Numerous demon generals led a large group of fierce beasts and demons with awe-inspiring awe, and put on a threatening posture. They were ready to rush into the city to burn and kill them immediately after the serpent was finished. It didn’t take long for the demon lord of the city to come out with the generals. The two sides met in the sky. He surrendered and said that he would be loyal to the demon lord.

Winter City Generals: “…”

Why did he surrender so quickly?! In fact, they even hoped to have a fight, so that they could go into the city to burn, kill, and loot. Wasn’t it better?!

But everyone surrendered, and they would all be colleagues in the future, so it was not easy to turn their faces right away. He hurriedly greeted the demons to enter the city to entertain.

Although the war was over, there was still chaos in the city, and many local residents were anxious.

Shi Yan returned to her yard and saw that both her father and brother were there. They were discussing something, but their expressions were not very good. Her aunt was gone.

Seeing Shi Yan, Shi Qianli immediately said coldly, “Pack your things. We are going to leave.”

Shi Zhenxu explained, “Sima Jiao’s people came faster than we thought. Although they did not come here personally, after inquiring about us, our whereabouts can be found. So we will leave.”

Shi Yan was not surprised. The Shi family’s fear toward the Great Demon King Sima Jiao was almost engraved on their forehead. They cursed him so many times but when they really met the other person, they had to run away in fright. 

She asked, “Leave now?”

Shi Zhenxu: “No, the situation is tense now, and the way out is guarded by the demon cultivators of Winter City. If we leave at this time, we will be noticed. We will leave after two days depending on the situation, but you should not leave the house in these two days. Stay at home.”

Shi Yan agreed. She often changed places to live when she was looking for a job, and now she had no discomfort when she wanted to change places. The only thing she couldn’t bear was leaving her little friend Hong Luo.

Hong Luo was the only friend she had a good relationship with in this world. When she came to this world, she had to get used to many things. Her father and brother did not allow her to contact others. She looked like a prisoner, and in the Demon Realm, there was no one suitable for being a friend. So over the years, she was the only friend she could really talk to.

She was leaving now and didn’t know when she could see  Hong Luo again. She made up her mind to bid her faraway.

Shi Yan made up her mind, but it was a pity that the old man kept an eye on her too closely. She couldn’t get out, so she had to wait for the opportunity.

Although she had been lazy over the years, she was still obedient. Seeing that she stayed at home for a whole day and slept for a day, Shi Qianli and Shi Zhenxu did not pay much attention to her. They had other things to be busy with.

Shi Yan was used to them hiding things from her, anyway, so she didn’t care. She slipped out the door in the early morning of the third day and went straight to the station.

The mess in the North City had not been cleaned up yet, and most of the people brought by Winter City were still outside the city. There were many strange faces in Cran City, each arrogant, and with a temperament higher than the locals. So Shi Yan went to Rouge Terrace. On the way, she did not encounter any thief. Everyone was watching with their tails clamped.

Rouge Terrace was still the same as the previous few days, as if it hadn’t been affected by this sudden event. The old man who cleaned and picked up the corpse every day still had an expressionless face. Shi Yan nodded and greeted him as usual, but the old man suddenly said, “Stay.”

Shi Yan glanced at him in surprise. This was the second time she had heard this old man talking after working for so long.

“Is there a problem?”

The old man glanced at her and said, “Come with me.”

His cultivation level was not very high, and he was blind. Shi Yan didn’t feel threatened, so she followed him, and then she caught sight of a corpse on the guard.

He led her to the corpse, and said, “The corpse swept out last night.”

 He motioned for her to take it away.

Shi Yan looked at Hong Luo’s corpse and was at a loss for a while before saying her thanks. She then picked up the corpse and left.

The half-blind man watched her leave with no ups and downs in his eyes, and went back to deal with the dead bodies that no one wanted. It was just that he remembered how the two girls passed through this door together every morning in the past few years. Perhaps this was why he specially left the corpse waiting for someone to fetch it.

Shi Yan left the place, walked to the outside of the wall, and slowly stopped again. She put Hong Luo on the ground and squatted down to look at her cold, swollen and wounded face.

After she came to this world, she had seen many corpses. She was disgusted at the beginning and slowly adapted to it later

 She thought that she was completely used to it. No matter how disgusting the corpse was, she wouldn’t feel sick anymore. But now that she saw her friend’s body, her chest felt tight, and she threw up while supporting herself with the wall.

Unspeakable disgusting.

Hong Luo was always talking alone. When eating breakfast with her, she couldn’t talk too much. Shi Yan learned a lot about this strange world from this friend. Her feelings for Hong Luo were even a little deeper than her real father and brother.

Maybe it was because Hong Luo became friends with her, just because of her, whether she was called Zou Yan, Lu Yan or Shi Yan. But the two relatives of the Shi family got along with her, and only regarded her as Shi Yan.

She leaned on the wall. On this cool morning, she remembered that a few years ago in the early morning, she came to work and saw Hong Luo by the window on the ninth floor of the gorgeous red building. She was exhausted at the time. Seeing her flying around on the roof, she beckoned to her and said, “Ah, if I die here one day, can you collect my body? I don’t want to be a corpse that is sold to corpse refiners, who knows what ghosts they will refine it into?”

At that time, she felt that Hong Luo was joking. So she made an OK gesture at her from a distance.

Today, she was going to say goodbye to Hong Luo, and also wanted to tell her: I am going to move, maybe I can’t collect your body. You can only live well and live longer.

It was needless to say.
