"Blood Demon?" Su Youyi was not clear about her actual na and could thus only address her so for the ti being.
"Indeed, I am the Blood Demon, but I prefer the na this girl has given , Xue Youyou." The seemingly slender black-haired girl sat gracefully like a lady from a noble family, holding in her hands a book with an illegible title that appeared sowhat ethereal.
At this mont, Xue Youyou was sizing up Su Youyi. Although it was Su Youyi's first ti eting her, it was not Xue Youyou's first encounter with Su Youyi. After all, Xue Youyou shared a symbiotic relationship with Liu Rouxin, so everything Liu Rouxin could see, she could also see.
"I have read countless books and always thought the flowery rhetoric of those literary scholars was re illusion. However, after seeing you, I felt that their descriptions were still far from sufficient."
Xue Youyou was born with an innate nature, and she did not particularly care about the beauty or ugliness of the world. For instance, her current appearance could only be considered beautiful, but her temperant was so serene that it added much to her allure.
Yet upon seeing Su Youyi, the concept of "beauty" stirred within her for the first ti. Countless poems from literary scholars, crafted with painstaking effort, swirled in her mind but were rcilessly dismissed by her, for they did not even compare to a ten-thousandth of Youyi's.
"You and your fellow cultivator brother are truly born from the favor of heaven and earth," Xue Youyou sincerely exclaid.
When she had previously seen Liang Yi, her normally undisturbed ntal state had also fluctuated, only she had been hiding within Liu Rouxin's consciousness, unseen by others.
Now facing Su Youyi directly, her heart stirred with that feeling once again, which was indeed wondrous.
"Thank you, but I am still far from reaching my brother's level," Su Youyi said with a slight curve to her lips, her heart feeling sowhat elated—yet not because Xue Youyou had praised her, but because she had praised her brother.
As long as you praise my brother, we're good friends!
And when Xue Youyou's gaze shifted to Liu Rouxin on the bed, her eyes softened considerably.
It was then that Su Youyi noticed, not just the book, but the Blood Demon known as Xue Youyou herself also appeared sowhat ethereal.
"Have you noticed?" Xue Youyou, detecting the change in Su Youyi's gaze, asked nonchalantly.
"I heard from Sister Liu that you seem to be unable to communicate with anyone other than her?" Since Su Youyi felt not the slightest hostility from Xue Youyou, she did not mind chatting with her for a while, and she was also curious about the Blood Demon herself.
She had previously heard Liu Rouxin discuss this symbiotic Blood Demon that had always been in her company, simply conversing with just Liu Rouxin. Why, then, did she co out now?
"At first, it was not possible, because both Rouxin and I were very weak. However, she is now a Sixth Realm cultivator, and with her permission, I can slightly draw upon so of her Spiritual Power, which since that ti has allowed to use Spiritual Power to create my form. I simply choose not to co out unless necessary."
Xue Youyou casually explained the matter as if she held nothing back, clarifying it simply and clearly.
"So, Your Excellency ca out specifically to talk with ?" Su Youyi wore a calm expression, showing no sign of nervousness despite being in front of the Blood Demon, notorious throughout three epochs.
"Not just because of you, it's more for this young girl's sake," said Xue Youyou as she closed the book in her hands. The book dissolved into Spiritual Power upon colliding and slowly dispersed into the air.
"This girl, due to her experiences since childhood as well as my presence, has developed a special kind of sentint towards Blood Demons, which is why she is so interested in seeing other Blood Demons. However, not all Blood Demons are like ."
Xue Youyou leaned on one hand resting on the table while rubbing her temples with the other, seemingly helplessly resigned to Liu Rouxin's attitude.
Su Youyi was sowhat surprised, but after carefully thinking about Liu Rouxin's reaction when she first learned of the Blood Demon news and the expression she had while staring at the triple gates outside of the Blood Control Sect, it seed that she indeed had so concerns on her mind; however, Su Youyi simply hadn't thought that much about it.
But what exactly is this special sentint?
"I would like to hear more." Originally, Su Youyi had only wanted to make small talk, but now she genuinely wanted to hear more from Xue Youyou.
"This girl probably told you that, because of the city incident when she was young, the disciples of the Blood Control Sect didn't really like her, which is why she ended up being isolated in the oldest cliche of the story," Xue Youyou said softly, her eyes lowered as she spoke calmly and slowly about the past.
"It wasn't her fault, she rely had to curse the Blood Demons along with them, but rely because I talked to her every day, she was willing to bear this curse for . Back then, I was rely tempting her into the path of killing, what a foolish girl..."
Su Youyi turned to look at the sleeping Liu Rouxin, pondering if Liu Rouxin, too, had sothing she wanted to protect?
"Fortunately, Xu Yi and those old fellows were quite capable. After discovering the situation, they acted swiftly to clean up the entire atmosphere of the Blood Control Sect, and no one ntioned that incident again, although still no one wanted to befriend her."
"But isn't the Blood Control Sect known as the most combative among all the super forces? Why would they be so averse to slaughter?" Su Youyi suddenly interjected.
The Blood Control Sect's disciples had killed more people than those of any other super force, so why were they so strict with their Chief?
"While that is true, there is one thing you've misunderstood," Xue Youyou held up a finger as she continued, "The Blood Control Sect is indeed fond of killing and fighting, but apart from cultivation technique reasons, their fundantal goal is to protect their personal Dao. To kill for the Dao, to fight for the Dao; in the end, everything is for the pursuit of the Dao!
But the slaughter by Blood Demons is different. They kill on a whim, with no purpose whatsoever. One could say that the killing itself is the end goal, but this sort of totally chaotic and disorderly conduct is sothing even the Blood Control Sect cannot condone."
Hearing Xue Youyou's words, Su Youyi nodded thoughtfully. Is it because of "Dao"? That is, the so-called "difference in Dao precludes joint planning."
If Liang Yi were here, he would probably understand very well. The completely chaotic mbers of the evil camp are despised by all camps; they can't wait for the destruction of that camp.
So, when the disciples of the Blood Control Sect learned of the massacre caused by Liu Rouxin, it was already quite lenient to simply isolate her in silence.
"Under that atmosphere, even if the girl beca obsessed, it wouldn't be surprising. The fact that she only appears sowhat peculiar now is still related to soone helping her ease the dark side of her psyche."
"Was it you, Miss Xue?" Su Youyi blinked, guessing. There shouldn't be such a person in the Blood Control Sect, so most likely it must be Xue Youyou.
"You guessed wrong," Xue Youyou imdiately shook her head, denying the answer.
