MD Ch4 Part 4

I didn’t dare linger in the Extreme Cold Realm. Ruo Ruo giving me the Coexistent Ice Lotus, such an important item for her kind, meant she had abandoned her ties to her clan. Like the Four Divine Beast Clans, the Snow Demon Clan was extremely wary of outsiders. If her parents were to discover what she had done, they would undoubtedly come looking for me. No matter how strong my cultivation, I would be outnumbered, and that would put Song Qiyuan and Ah Jiu in danger.7a584133d34cc35e

I planned to stop at the Domain of Bones on my way back to investigate what had happened to Jiang Gui. I couldn’t afford any inconsistencies after lying to Gu Jincheng. I was also curious about the massive formation. Perhaps it held the key to why I had not only transmigrated into this world but also regressed in time.0832105e8f8072c9

However, things didn’t go as planned. When we arrived at the main city of the Domain of Bones, the black mist formation above the city had already dispersed. According to the locals, it had been gone for ten days.fb7e70616fcdf177

We settled into an 7eabf79763 inn in the Domain 7bdae9d46c of Bones, and I 467a2db82c let Ah Jiu and a35bfb72d6 Song Qiyuan rest upstairs. Feigning nonchalance, I sat d11fdf5757 at a corner table 01c54c1d7d on the first floor, 5f6b1b9a6b ordering some wine and fb60909e44 discreetly eavesdropping on the 43646a2980 conversations around me, hoping c4ee9a73b8 to glean some useful c332e759eb information.af707c70e9144b22

People tended 4e208f2bef to lower 18890d903c their guard d482bd2a4b when eating 91d609ec31 and drinking, d834c4c7cb often gossiping 3282940e76 about various ff0d43728a rumors. A demonic cultivator sitting 0747508f20 behind me to the 28e485ede7 right was speaking loudly 94d9751466 and without reservation about e49b19f5a3 his own theories, despite 36542f9c93 only having one listener.816fc82c0a4d2ea3

“That Domain Lord Jiang Gui was truly unlucky. He survived the fierce battle at the Heavenly River only to be killed by Qu Yan, the second young master of the Qu Clan, on his way back. The atmosphere has been tense lately. For Qu Yan to infiltrate the demonic realm undetected and kill our Domain Lord, the heir of one of the Six Great Clans, so easily…”3943cfbf2c0b83c8

“How would I know? But I think the Demon Lord definitely killed him! As I understand it, the Demon Lord ordered Jiang Gui to stay at the Demon Palace after the battle at the Heavenly River.

There he was, 26577df074 with his doll-like 4d3405201b face, twirling mustache, c316dee6e5 and exceptionally pale 2521b579f7 skin. He looked like a c9913c8a7b young master untouched by a216c51713 the filth of the 937c0031c2 world.

Wang Duoju calmly wiped 2184e443cb the blood off his 3fe985cd6a fan, bent down, and fd59918b98 smiled at the two a3a16ca660 remaining cultivators, who were 8cdf9d2cf2 still alive.19b5e32fcbce43e1

The floor of the inn wasn’t level; it sloped slightly. Unfortunately, it sloped towards me, and the severed head, its eyes wide with terror, rolled towards me and stopped right at my feet. I didn’t want to experience the horror of meeting its gaze.b7e8dcca11a43759

Fighting back the 03fa8f1cc3 urge to vomit, 6b116a53f4 I slowly stood 6f5ef1cf05 up and kicked c76a74ce66 the head back 7d41cdff1a towards its body.

I had been acting like ‘Yu Ke,’ but in reality, I was just a coward who couldn’t even kill a chicken back in my world. In this world, everyone, whether Wang Duoju, Gu Jincheng, or the adult Song Qiyuan, could kill without blinking.027d003b4df9c673

The commotion downstairs subsided, and silence returned. One could easily understand what kind of person Wang Duoju was. The Domain Lord of the Lost Domain’s reputation was enough to frighten those with weaker cultivation. Come to think of it, I had been constantly deceived by his appearance. As someone who had once been aligned with ‘Yu Ke,’ despite his refined and elegant appearance, his hands were stained with blood.b4cc463350d1243e

《Heavenly Demon Tribulation》 was primarily focused on the protagonist.

Everyone here had a beginning, an end, and a history. And so did I…4911f338fe7e8338

If someone were to interrupt, the consequences would be unbearable. Although the boy’s physical condition had improved, his dantian was completely destroyed, and his cultivation foundation was in shambles. His meridians were no different from those of an ordinary person. With such a body, he could never achieve great power.02b5716b31975e31

When Ye Wangzhi took the child to the Ten Thousand Bones Cave in the Valley of Ghosts to reconnect his meridians, he used the fresh blood of the ancient vicious beast, Qiongqi, to enhance the boy’s constitution, providing the foundation for Song Qiyuan’s future strength.82dbdb5dad95a40d

Ah Jiu had mentioned that Yu Ke had a residence in the Dragon Nightmare Domain, right next to the Valley of Ghosts. Apparently, Yu Ke had been captivated by the scenery while passing through and used a spell to create a small wooden house there. The interior was quite simple. Therefore, Gu Jincheng wouldn’t know about its existence and wouldn’t have bothered setting up any barriers.bce74f6d3e81186c

I planned to stay there after healing Song Qiyuan’s injuries. That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about Gu Jincheng finding us, and Song Qiyuan could stay in a clean and safe environment. In the novel, Ye Wangzhi also resided near the Valley of Ghosts, staying for two years at a time.b83e3af052ce2815

The two-headed lion carriage had rested enough, so it was time to pick up the pace. Even if we departed tomorrow morning, we should arrive at the border of the Dragon Nightmare Domain in the northernmost region within a week. I would tell Ah Jiu to inform Gu Jincheng that I wouldn’t be returning for a while when we passed by the Demon Palace. Gu Jincheng, accustomed to Yu Ke’s capricious nature, likely wouldn’t react much.68bd9e43c834ec38

I cautiously instructed the two-headed lion to circle the area a few times before setting a course for the Valley of Ghosts. I might have been overly cautious, but I wanted to avoid Gu Jincheng’s surveillance at all costs. I couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences if he discovered I had taken Song Qiyuan under my wing.0875e69f3771b6b1

Song Qiyuan seemed to 589d0b8895 be sulking, remaining silent 24a09fab48 for most of the 063ddf0605 journey. He probably blamed ff0f4101c9 himself for my a697fe318e impulsive marriage promise. He barely ate and 7d92c84104 acted like a child 1656d9c5b7 his age.6cb1d406f447b1cb

I didn’t know how to comfort children. Being an only child, I was completely inexperienced in this area. Since he wasn’t speaking, I remained silent as well. Ah Jiu, who had been trying to lighten the mood, eventually gave up in frustration, flew outside, and returned only to sleep. He was acting like a hibernating insect.30ae7ded0712a26a
