Chapter 37 Confinement

No matter if it was a god, a human, or a demon, as long as they heard Qu Yao’s name, they would curse her, be jealous of her, and be afraid of her.

As long as it was someone who wanted to kill Qu Yao, no matter where they came from or what their purpose was, they would become the embodiment of justice. They could use their sonorous voices to denounce her.

However, no one dared to kill her.

Qu Yao felt that all the bones in her body were about to break. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a familiar environment.

They had returned to the demon world.

The wood chopping granny hugged her and cried bitterly, “Yao Yao, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death!”

This cry attracted the dozens of demons who were guarding beside her. Everyone surrounded her and expressed their concern for her.

“Are you hungry?”

“Are you thirsty?”

“Are you cold?”

“Are you hurt?”

Qu Yao did not even have the chance to speak. She really did not have the energy to lose her temper. She looked at them resentfully and said weakly, “You guys are so noisy.” “Shut up! Shut up!” Shadow’s eyes were sharp as he scolded them. He turned around and looked at Qu Yao with a pained expression. “Little Yao Yao, are you feeling better?”

Qu Yao propped herself up on the bed and returned to her lazy and arrogant self. “I’m the demon ancestor, who does Atlas think she is? She was still knocked down from the sky by me!”

“Yes, yes, yes!!” The demons echoed.

Faceless ghost shouted excitedly, “Today, the demon ancestor has awakened. Everyone from the demon ancestor to the demonic beasts and evil spirits, please be happy! The demon world is going to hold a feast for ten days and ten nights!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the demons cheered.

The demon world was filled with bonfires and feasts. They were all immersed in the joy of the demon ancestor’s revenge and defeating the God of War. Only Qu Yao remained in her room alone.

“Yao Yao? Do you want to come out and have a drink?” Shadow asked cautiously at the door.

“No,” Qu Yao’s voice was hoarse. “Don’t disturb me while I’m reading!”

This was already the seventh day that she had been cooped up in her room reading.

The demons were only engrossed in partying, praising Qu Yao’s feats everywhere. She, who had already dominated the demon world to begin with, had become a legend in the entire demon world after the Battle of Tongcheng.

Qu Yao had always disdained to participate in the chaotic dance of the demons, so even if she did not come out, no one dared to ask. Only the Faceless Ghost and Shadow knew that she was not reading, but was clearly in solitary confinement.

Bai Yihe’s study was moved to Qu Yao’s hall by Shadow intact. She read it day and night, seemingly eager to get rid of the curse, but in fact, she wanted to make herself forget about the things in the human world.

She often stared at the red rope on her wrist in a daze. Sometimes a page of a book could be read for hours, but her eyes were not on the book in her hand. Her mind was full of that little blind man.

She did not know how he was doing. She suddenly remembered that after the barrier in the courtyard had disappeared, Bai Yihe would definitely come out to look for her. Would the corpses on the street scare him!

The gate that had been closed for seven days finally opened. Shadow saw Qu Yao running out in a panic and quickly chased after her.

“Yao Yao, where are you going?”

“I’m going back to Tongcheng to take a look!” “???”

“What are you going back there for? There are people chasing after you everywhere outside the demon world!”

Qu Yao pushed Shadow aside, who was holding her back. “I just want to see how Bai Yihe is doing. I’m afraid that he will be frightened by the scene when he comes out. He won’t be able to handle it.”

“Yao Yao!” Shadow restrained her wrist and asked sternly, “He’s blind. What can he see?”

That’s right, he couldn’t even see. What was I worried about? Qu Yao fell silent.

Dejected, she returned to the study room and picked up the book again.

Shadow’s heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. If he had known that she would meet such a person in the human world, he would definitely have stopped Qu Yao.
