"Hehe, you are quite confident, aren’t you? I did not kill you because of your strength but because I am waiting for soone—soone I have waited three thousand years for!"
After hearing the Second Elder’s words, Ye Qiani smiled gently. A trace of nostalgia flickered in her beautiful eyes, and an exquisite layer of sorrow silently appeared on her delicate cheeks.
The sorrow was faint, yet undeniably real!
"It’s ti!"
Before Yaoyao and the others could decipher the aning of Ye Qiani’s words, she suddenly whispered softly, turned around, and gazed toward the city gate where a man in blue was rapidly approaching.
"Who are you?"
Bai Xiaofan, dressed in blue, rushed over. Looking at the woman in white standing before him, his voice carried a touch of gravity.
"Ye Qiani, the Clan Leader of the Silver Fox Tribe!"
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s inquiry, Ye Qiani replied softly.
At the sa ti, her srizing eyes were fixed on Bai Xiaofan, as if observing a long-lost lover, noting any changes since their last eting.
Ye Qiani?
Bai Xiaofan furrowed his brows slightly. Why did this woman resemble Xiao i so much?
If it weren’t certain that she wasn’t Xiao i, he would have mistaken her for Xiao i indeed.
However, there were differences between them. Even though "i" was part of Xiao i’s na, she wasn’t particularly coquettish and possessed a rarity of strength not found in many won!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pursued Bai Xiaofan for so long in the past!
Now, the woman before him, Ye Qiani, had an inherent charm, as if born in her very bones.
"Do you not recognize anymore? Or have you already forgotten in the abyss?"
Ye Qiani noticed Bai Xiaofan’s expression, asked softly, and slowly extended a delicate hand, seemingly wanting to caress his cheek.
"Have we t before? Why do I not rember?"
Bai Xiaofan, seeing Ye Qiani’s genuine expression, felt a bit puzzled.
The woman before him, upon first glance, gave him a sense of déjà vu, but he understood it was entirely due to her resemblance to Xiao i!
"Indeed, your current cultivation level is still too low!"
Ye Qiani’s lips parted, forming a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth.
"Are you here for them?"
Ye Qiani moved aside, pointing at the Grand Elder and others behind her.
"Yes, I promised them to help seize the ancient Demon King’s inheritance!"
Bai Xiaofan nodded, without concealnt, as there was nothing to hide.
"Then take them away; however, I must warn you, the Heritage Site of the ancient Demon King is heavily guarded. With just a few of you, success would be difficult. Even with soone like at the Earth Immortal level, there are three such beings there!"
Grateful for Bai Xiaofan’s honesty, Ye Qiani warmly reminded him.
Having spent millennia in this Blood Demon Purgatory, she was naturally more familiar than Bai Xiaofan and the others.
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Bai Xiaofan clasped his hands together in thanks, then waved his hand to bring Yaoyao to his side and signaled for Salca and others to join him!
"Grand Elder, Mr. Bai, we’re here!"
Just then, Ryan and Xiaoqing arrived with a crowd, swiftly surrounding Ye Qiani and her clan mbers.
"Ye Qiani, although you have killed several of our demon experts, I must still thank you for letting us pass. I only hope when we reach the center of the Blood Demon Tribe, we won’t have to cross swords again!"
The Grand Elder, despite being gravely wounded by Ye Qiani, still showed a conciliatory stance, clenching his hand in gratitude as they were allowed to leave.
However, Ye Qiani showed no response to the Grand Elder’s words and continued to watch Bai Xiaofan intently with her alluring eyes!
Her gaze, like glistening ripples, seed to contain endless affection, yearning to communicate with Bai Xiaofan.
Yet, Bai Xiaofan appeared oblivious to Ye Qiani’s look, holding Yaoyao’s hand as they soared into the distance.
Seeing Bai Xiaofan depart, the Grand Elder and others dared not linger too long, fearing that Ye Qiani might suddenly change her mind and attack them!
The three elders and others understood well that Ye Qiani spared and did not kill them mainly because of Bai Xiaofan.
Though uncertain about the relationship between the two, one thing was clear—Bai Xiaofan was soone they should not provoke.
At least, not within the Blood Demon Purgatory.
After leaving the Silver Fox stronghold, Bai Xiaofan and the others ca to a halt.
The three elders, along with Salca and Ska, approached Bai Xiaofan, "Mr. Bai, thank you once again. Our demon tribe will certainly rember this!"
This statent was apt yet could also be seen as re lip service.
Rember?
Bai Xiaofan not only saved the lives of nearly twenty-five thousand tribespeople but also rescued them from the formidable Ye Qiani—and all they offered was a simple promise to rember him?
To the Grand Elder’s words, Bai Xiaofan waved them off mildly, "No need to thank . I didn’t save you expecting your demon tribe to do anything nor do I relate to you. It was purely because I’m friends with Yaoyao and Xiaoqing. If not for them, even if your entire demon tribe was annihilated, what would it have to do with ?"
Bai Xiaofan’s words sounded sowhat unfeeling, difficult for others to accept!
How arrogant can you be?
Our Grand Elder personally thanks you, and this is how you respond?
Those closest to Bai Xiaofan, Ska, and the Second and Third Elders, looked at him with changed expressions, their eyes filled with a sharp glint, as if ready to confront him.
Even Salca and Ryan felt a bit awkward hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words. While they also found the Grand Elder’s statent lacking, they didn’t think Bai Xiaofan should be so blunt.
No matter what, in today’s demon tribe, even Salca and the thriving Ska had to show respect to the Grand Elder.
However, despite Bai Xiaofan’s harsh words, Yaoyao and Xiaoqing felt pleased, at least internally.
They understood Bai Xiaofan, knowing that he had spoken the truth. Bai Xiaofan was never a do-gooder, rushing to save those in danger.
This ti, Bai Xiaofan’s reason for accompanying them to the demon tribe and entering the Blood Demon Purgatory was precisely because of Yaoyao and Xiaoqing’s request for help.
Had Wolf King Salca gone alone, he probably wouldn’t have gotten half a sentence out before Bai Xiaofan would have tossed him out!
