Chapter 2, The Soul of the Sea

In the snowy March, Xue Sanyue did not expect that Ji Yunhe would actually want to give such a good medicine to this merman. She felt an instinctive sense of unease, but did not inquire further. Instead, she took out a small vial from her bosom and tossed it to Ji Yunhe

"What are you wandering around here for again?" Xue Sanyue's voice pulled her thoughts back, "Has the merman's injury healed?"

On this day, the weather is pleasant and sunny, and the spring scenery is just right

What Ji Yunhe stumbled upon was a secret that concerned life and death. She chose to leave quietly

This merman frightened them quite a bit

Before the ointment was brought over, Ji Yunhe had already used magic to moisten all the cracked and curled fish scales on the merman's tail with water. Although this large tail still appeared scarred, it looked much better than its previous dry and dust-covered state

The sunlight and the spring breeze flowed through the window into the room, the sunlight halted at the desk, while the warm breeze circled around the screen, gently brushing the hair of the lady by the bed.

After a brief silence, he slightly relaxed his jaw, and Ji Yunhe placed the pill into his mouth

While Ji Yunhe was helping the merman clean his tail, the merman could no longer endure the fatigue of his body and fell into a deep sleep

This secret is worth more than just her life. If this secret were to be known by the royal family, no one in the entire Demon Taming Valley, including the valley master, would survive. ... The valley master of Demon Taming Valley, Lin Canglan, is secretly engaged in such activities, and there truly exists a demon tamer ... capable of fulfilling Lin Canglan's request.

However, along with the wind came a series of knocking sounds, as well as Qu Xiaoxing's calls: "Guardian! Yunhe! Grandmother! What time is it! Are you still sleeping!"

It was from that time onwards that Ji Yunhe began to plan for herself. She formed alliances, based on interests and friendships, to establish her own power within the Demon Taming Valley.

When one focuses on a single task, time always passes quietly and imperceptibly. Ji Yunhe tilted her head and twisted her somewhat stiff neck

As soon as the merman made the slightest movement, Ji Yunhe felt it and cast a glance at him

His lips are as cold as his pupils

In the snowy March, Distant stood beside her, lowering his head to glance at her. In his red and blue eyes, the same gentle gaze sparkled.

Lin Haoqing kept a close watch on the merman; as his gaze shifted, Lin Haoqing followed his line of sight and looked back.

Ji Yunhe walked towards the depths of the flower sea in the Valley of Taming Demons.

The protector has arrived late. As Lin Haoqing spoke, he raised his hand, and the lightning that had just slightly paused suddenly brightened again. With a loud "whoosh," the dazzling light flashed on the dark iron covered in talismans, penetrating into the body of the merman.

Lin Haoqing's hand hanging by his side tightened slightly, his gaze becoming even more sinister, yet bearing some resemblance to Lin Canglan...

Golden Arrow

From her eyebrows to her chest, from her waist to the fish tail, she spared no detail. At this moment, the merman was still barely awake. Initially, he looked at Ji Yunhe, but after realizing what she was doing, the merman, who had been unresponsive no matter how he was hit, suddenly blinked twice and awkwardly turned his head in another direction.

Lin Haoqing's face was streaming with blood. He cast a spell to heal his wounds. Upon hearing these words, he turned his gaze and fixed a cold, sinister stare at the merman in the cage, who looked like a tattered piece of cloth

Nowadays, the court is paramount and imperial power is precious. It is no longer the era when the demon-taming clan could control the wind and rain. The court has separated the demon-taming clan in all directions and restricted their power. For the demon-taming clans in all directions, the most important thing is no longer to eliminate demons, but to cater to the court.

"Young Master Shaogu!" The assistant beside him was extremely panicked, quickly stepping forward to protect Lin Haoqing, pulling him back a bit, "You are injured!" An assistant exclaimed.

Ji Yunhe's expression was indifferent, revealing no hint of concern. She merely stretched lazily and said with a touch of mockery, "Why doesn't the young master mention that he is a bit anxious?"

The dark iron fence suddenly caved in, creating a dent, while the back protruded, leaving only three inches between it and Lin Haoqing's face

The merman is the essence of the sea condensed into form. Snow March whispered beside Ji Yunhe, "I thought it was just a legend, but it turns out to be true."

Just like ... ...

"I fear there is no time for you to tidy up." Another female voice appeared behind Qu Xiaoxing. Ji Yunhe tilted her head and leaned back to take a look, only to see that the newcomer had long legs and a slim waist, with long hair reaching down to her knees. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, giving her a somewhat cold and alluring appearance, exuding a hint of lethal charm.

His eyes were ice blue, a color Ji Yunhe had seen before, but at this moment, all she could see in his gaze was a gray haze, devoid of focus and vitality, as if he were already half dead.

On the way back, she looked up at the moon, hoping for a quicker escape from the Demon Taming Valley, a faster end to these schemes and carefulness, and a swifter arrival at a life of freedom for those she cared about

Ji Yunhe only saw his fish tail move, the enormous blue and white tail mixed with blood amidst the flickering lightning, fiercely swinging, pulling at the iron chain that had pinned his tail down, with a loud "whoosh," the golden arrow iron chain fixed to the ground was uprooted!

Ji Yunhe knew that he could understand her words, that he possessed emotions just like any other person, and it could even be said that he had a hometown, aspirations, and people he wished to meet

Although the mermaid's tail was already tattered, at least at this moment it was no longer burdened by the weight of the black iron, which alleviated much of the weight borne by the arm suspended above.

"Goddess of the Valley, what secret do you possess that is worth exchanging your life for?"

Amidst the crackling lightning, the demon tamer outside the dungeon rushed about in a clamor, while stones and dust continuously fell from the ceiling of the dungeon, creating a cacophony. In this tumult, Ji Yunhe finally shook off all traces of drowsiness.

Ji Yunhe smiled faintly: "If he could speak, the Princess of Shunde would not have sent him here. The punishments of the court are not lighter than those of the Demon Taming Valley"

The next day, Ji Yunhe took the initiative to find Xue Sanyue. She told Xue Sanyue, "Yesterday in the sea of flowers, under the wisteria tree, I saw something."

It has been fifty years since the establishment of the Demon Taming Valley. During these fifty years, the demon tamers in the valley have long lost the leisure to tend to these flowers, allowing them to grow wild. Instead, within this enclosed Demon Taming Valley, a certain wildness has emerged, with some flower branches even reaching over half a person's height. Some branches are thorny, while others are poisonous, and generally, few would dare to venture deep into this sea of flowers.

Ji Yunhe immediately lowered her head, looking at the wound on his tail. The dark iron chain that pierced through his fish tail was still embedded in his flesh and bone. Ji Yunhe swiftly drew a small knife from her body, and with a quick motion, she cut at his fish tail, severing the last bit of flesh that connected it to the iron chain. The dark iron chain fell to the ground with a heavy "thud".

Although Xue San Yue's ability to tame monsters is lacking, when it comes to swiftly and decisively slaying monsters, there are likely few in the Monster Taming Valley who can surpass her

Lin Haoqing is truly anxious this time, and has acted somewhat recklessly

Perhaps there are indeed such people in this world, who are inherently "like-minded". It may also be because they are so similar, each possessing a rebellious spirit deep within, which remains unbroken despite the trials and tribulations they face.

Lin Haoqing's brows slightly furrowed, his gaze shifting away from Ji Yunhe and landing on the seemingly dying merman.

Ji Yunhe waved her hand, as if to greet Li Shu: "That injury won't heal just because you say it will." Ji Yunhe glanced at Li Shu, "You need to take good care of yourself. Things are not the same as before."

Ji Yunhe saw these four characters so clearly on a girl's face for the first time

Only a cut was seen on Lin Haoqing's cheekbone. Blood was still flowing from the wound, and the assistant chanted a spell to help stop the bleeding, but found it ineffective. Lin Haoqing pushed the assistant aside and said: "It is a wound from a golden arrow; the arrowhead is imbued with magical power, and you cannot stop the bleeding."

The merman did not open its mouth

There are no further demands, nor any more words, as if she truly came specifically to heal his wounds

I know what you are thinking. "The action of bandaging him did not stop in Ji Yunhe's hands, and her tone was no different from when she chatted with others in the Demon Taming Valley. "You are thinking that it would be better to die. If it were me, I would probably think the same. However, if you have a hometown, unfinished business, and people you still want to see..."

Recalling a long past, Ji Yunhe felt a sense of nostalgia

With a creak, Ji Yunhe impatiently opened the door. She frowned, her hair disheveled, and the clothes draped over her body were somewhat disordered, her tone decidedly unfriendly: "What is all the commotion about!"

Having descended into the dungeon, the usually empty prison was now filled with people. Lin Haoqing stood before the cage, his expression appearing somewhat stern and even eerie amidst the flashes of lightning. He fixed his gaze on the merman, not missing a single expression on the merman's face.

They are such a perfect match, clearly a good marriage, yet they are made to feel like thieves because of the constraints of this worldly convention. Ji Yunhe sighed a little, patted her robe, and turned to leave: "I won't disturb you any longer, I will take my leave now"

In the prison, no one dared to speak of the demon tamer, and the gaze fixed on the merman inside suddenly changed slightly.

Ji Yunhe curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "It is said that the Shunde Princess has a noble status and desires perfection in everything. As for this merman, we do not know how effective its healing abilities are. Brother, coming in second in the competition, our primary task is to achieve the best possible outcome to fulfill our obligations."

Ji Yunhe is correct

When Ji Yunhe was brought to the dungeon by Xue Sanyue, there was a series of thunderous "crackling" sounds.

Ji Yunhe still remembers the day she met Xue Sanyue, which was on a night when she was about fifteen or sixteen years old

The two assistants left by Lin Haoqing watched Ji Yunhe with a hint of vigilance, but when they saw her grasp the wooden handle of the mechanism with one hand and pull it down with a "click," it surprisingly stopped the lightning strike.

The merman, suspended in mid-air, seemed to have lost all reaction to pain. His muscles spasmed involuntarily for a moment, then settled into calm. He hung his head, his silver hair cascading down, matted with the viscous blood that covered his body, giving him a somewhat dirty appearance

Ji Yunhe patted the dust off his body and stood up, then went straight to the place where the lightning mechanism was.

Upon hearing the words, Xue slowed down her pace and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Ji Yunhe looked at Xue San Yue holding her hand, her eyebrows and eyes warmed slightly. She liked it, liked the feeling of being held by someone's hand, making her feel like she had a companion, not always so lonely.

Merfolk are the embodiment of the soul of the sea.

When he saw him take the medicine, Ji Yunhe stood up, patted his buttocks, took the cloth bag, and walked outside.

Ji Yunhe said, "I knew it was you."

Her fingertips seemed to be lightly tapping on fragile tofu. She was too meticulous, not even letting go of the wounds beneath each scale.

The large sea of flowers in the center of the Monster Taming Valley was planted by the monster tamers who first arrived at the valley. Different flowers bloom in different seasons, ensuring a perpetual display of blossoms.

It's just a pity that the wind and flower fragrance in the Valley of Taming Demons are a little less free than those in the outside world.

Ji Yunhe knew he was looking at her. She opened her mouth slightly and mouthed, "Why bother?"

Only to see him, in an instant, emitting a faint blue light all over his body. Seeing this, the assistant next to him immediately activated the lightning strike. Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, the entire dungeon was filled with booming sounds. The onlookers outside the dungeon scattered and fled in all directions.

Tired, go back to sleep. She lightly instructed, "The Thunderstrike Curse on the Xuantie Chain doesn't need to be activated for now. He is seriously injured and cannot be disturbed. Just make sure to guard the door."

How can you escape with such a serious injury?

Ji Yunhe reached out her hand to touch, and she roughly guessed who was setting up a barrier in the depths of this flower sea at such a late hour. She gently tapped twice, and after a while, the barrier disappeared. In the vast flower sea ahead, a gigantic wisteria tree suddenly appeared, its wisteria flowers in full bloom, and the two stood quietly.

Ji Yunhe knew that the merman had just exhausted all its strength in resistance

The last unhealed wound is the mark on the merman's wrist, bound by black iron.

He resembled a lifeless, tattered puppet, his ice-blue eyes obscured by his eyelids, leaving no one able to discern the expression within them

"What kind of activity is this?" Xue Sanyue asked

For Ji Yunhe, this is a good place to calm her mind

Not long after Ji Yunhe completely severed ties with Lin Haoqing, she began to entertain the thought of escaping from the Demon Taming Valley. She struggled with her own weakness and felt isolated and helpless. Just as she did today, she wandered through the sea of flowers. Then... inadvertently, amidst the blooming flowers and under the bright moonlight, she saw beneath the wisteria tree a woman with flowing long hair and a cold expression, gently kissing a man who was resting beneath the tree, surrounded by a cascade of wisteria blossoms.

Only to injure Lin Haoqing, who humiliated him

The subordinates of the Young Master Shao are becoming increasingly disrespectful of the rules. Xue Sanyue stood by with a sword in hand, her expression indifferent, and a chilling aura emanating from her gaze. "As protectors, is it your place to interfere?"

In that moment, the cold and sharp features of Xue San Yue softened more than water.

In fact, Xue San Yue has a certain admiration for Ji Yun He. Over the years, in the Demon Taming Valley, half of the demon tamers have not tamed as many demons in their entire lives as Ji Yun He has in just one year. She seems to be able to see through the deepest fears of the demons, thereby capturing them and then controlling them

Just as Ji Yunhe entered the dungeon, the merman, who had shown no expression despite the torture, suddenly trembled his eyelashes. He slightly raised his gaze, and his ice-blue eyes fixed gently on Ji Yunhe, who was descending the long steps into the dungeon

The protector should also exercise more caution. Lin Haoqing glanced at the two assistants beside him, saying, You stay here to guard the protector. If this merman dares to make any unusual moves, report it immediately.

Lin Haoqing waved his hand, and his assistant controlled the mechanism for the lightning strikes, gradually bringing them to a halt. Lin Haoqing took two steps forward, stopping in front of the cage, slightly tilting his head to gaze at the merman hanging inside: "You merfolk have always been wise; you should know what is best for you. As long as you obediently comply..."

In March, Xue referred to this as the cat demon she had picked up, an effective assistant in her capture of monsters, a slave who was completely subservient to her and belonged to her. She even named the cat demon, calling it Li Shu.

As Ji Yunhe spoke up to this point, he cast a glance at the merman, whose pupils trembled slightly upon hearing these brief phrases

Lin Haoqing's two assistants shook their heads repeatedly. Xue Sanyue let out a cold snort, too lazy to waste words. She picked up a stone from the ground and flicked it towards the mechanism by the prison door. The mechanism turned, and the dark iron chains hanging in the cell slowly descended.

Before her voice had faded, the spell on the railing had already dissipated. Ji Yunhe pulled open the prison door and stepped inside. She did not rush to close the door; instead, she turned her head and pushed the door open a little further.

"Bring someone to repair the cell," he commanded. His assistant hurriedly complied and turned to follow him out. However, Lin Haoqing turned around but did not rush to leave; instead, his gaze fell upon Ji Yunhe, who had been sitting quietly by the side, as steady as a mountain.

Ji Yunhe truly forgot about the matter of taming the monsters

While waiting for the medicine to arrive, Ji Yunhe carefully examined the wounds on the merman's body

What is hidden from others is that the girl is kissing Li Shu

Snow in March coldly laughed: "What kind of righteousness exists in the Demon Taming Valley?"

That person was trembling and hesitating for a long time, taking a step forward with reluctance. Xue Sanyue could no longer bear to watch: "The people from the Demon Taming Valley are so afraid of monsters, how did your master teach you? Isn't it embarrassing?" She took several large strides to the side of that person, snatched the bundle, and threw it into the prison with a flick of her hand.

I also want a friend who can escape from the Demon Taming Valley with me

Ji Yunhe slightly frowned, and at that moment, someone nearby happened to see her, immediately stepping aside and calling out: "Guardian."

At this moment, Lin Haoqing was injured, and the assistants' attention was entirely focused on him. No one cared whether the mechanism was still operational or not. They simply wanted the mechanism to remain active, as this would provide them with greater assurance of their safety and security.

Ji Yunhe had nothing to hide from her, and she felt the same way.

Can it truly be tamed

Snow in March is quite astonishing

Ji Yunhe murmured somewhat confusedly: "I didn't send the message to you by mistake yesterday, did I? Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to go to the Demon Subduing Mountain in the west to exorcise demons? So soon?"

The two of them spoke, then turned to look at the merman in the cell; he seemed so light in his breathing, as if he understood nothing and could hear nothing.

The princess wishes for this merman to speak, to have legs, and to be wholly devoted; she does not desire a tattered slave.

The two individuals who were called out appeared somewhat apprehensive, clearly reluctant to remain in this place, yet due to the orders, they could only lower their heads and respond accordingly

Ji Yunhe asked Xue San Yue: "Did you bring the Ningxue Pill?"

Your time here has been short, and there are still some matters you do not understand. How could the protector have achieved today without employing means that are fewer than those of our valley master? It is merely a strategy of conciliation

Upon hearing these two words, the person in front immediately turned around, and upon seeing Ji Yunhe approaching, everyone bowed their heads and made way, allowing Ji Yunhe to smoothly walk through the crowded crowd

Lin Haoqing smiled and said, "Yun He's ability to tame demons is remarkable. As your brother, I certainly cannot be negligent. I must give my all to truly be worthy of you"

However, it is understandable that a beast tamer would never casually heal the internal injuries of a tamed monster, lest they replenish the demonic energy that has been painstakingly depleted. This is a fundamental principle of beast taming

The strike from the merman nearly exhausted all his strength, and he was suspended in the prison while the lightning continued to assault him

She walked to the side of the merman, looking up at him. Without the obstruction of cages and electric lights, this close examination made Ji Yunhe feel even more shocked by the sight of his injuries.

Those wounds, stained with blood and unsightly, seemed to slowly heal beneath her fingertips

In such a state of injury, no one could have anticipated that he still had the strength to resist... Moreover, he even possessed the will to fight back. Up until now, among all the monsters they have encountered, which one has not lost even the will to survive under such punishment...

However, there was no further communication. Ji Yunhe thought that even if this merman wanted to speak now, he probably did not have the strength to utter a word.

"Guardian," an assistant said, "this may not be appropriate."

Ji Yunhe turned to look at Xue Sanyue and said, "Don't let others hear it"

When Ji Yunhe spoke these words, her gaze was filled with coldness, a memory that still lingers vividly in her mind to this day

Fifty years ago, after the court eliminated the demon tamers, the boundaries between humans and demons were clearly defined, and no one could cross this line. This was especially true for the demon tamers who inherently possessed power. The royal family was filled with apprehension towards those of different races.

Lin Canglan is not a good person; in order to provoke his weak son, he controlled me with drugs and made me engage in some unsavory activities for him

Is the protector not leaving

Her words were spoken coldly, causing both of them to shudder. Over the years, Ji Yunhe has established her authority in the Demon Taming Valley not through laziness or a bad temper.

Ningxue Pill is a high-quality internal injury medicine refined in the Valley of Demon Tamers

Qu Xiaoxing muttered with a sense of grievance: "I am only worried about you. How important is your competition with the Young Master of the Shao Valley? The Young Master set out early this morning with his people to the dungeon, yet you... you are almost sleeping until noon. Others do not dare to call you, so who else but me has to take on this task?"

Ji Yunhe let out a light laugh, and only then did she leisurely slam the prison door shut

Even though this is a competition for the position of the Sect Leader, it must still be primarily based on the wishes of the Shunde Princess

The blue eyes moved slightly, finally catching sight of Ji Yunhe's face standing below.

Taming demons, ostensibly presented to the royal family, is in fact a means to employ demon taming techniques, ensuring that these demons remain loyal to the Demon Taming Valley and relay the royal secrets back.

By the time they reached outside the dungeon, many people had already gathered to watch the commotion

In the snowy March, she abruptly grabbed Ji Yunhe's hand, disregarding her disheveled hair, and dragged her away, saying, "Lin Haoqing has already been subjected to torture in prison."

Ji Yunhe understood the meaning of Xue Sanyue, which was to say that Lin Haoqing had already been tortured in prison. If she were to arrive late, once the merman spoke, she would have lost the first round of the competition. However, for some reason, when Ji Yunhe heard Xue Sanyue's words, what flashed through her mind was the merman's cracked scales, his bloodied skin, and his resolute yet indifferent blue eyes

The incessant knocking of "knock knock knock" continued without pause, becoming quite bothersome, and finally...

"I do not appreciate having so many people watching while I tame the demon," Ji Yunhe said as she led Xue Sanyue out of the dungeon. She found a stone and sat down beside it, while Xue Sanyue stood next to her. Ji Yunhe then leaned lazily against Xue Sanyue. Xue Sanyue glanced at her but ultimately allowed her to be lazy. Ji Yunhe raised her hand in a gesture of deference: "Please, brother, go ahead, but..."

"Just focus on living well for now, at least until you are completely hopeless." Ji Yunhe patted the back of his hand, the wound had been completely bandaged. She poured out the Ningxue Pill, pinched it between her index finger and thumb, and placed it by the lips of the merman.

She gazed quietly at the merman in the prison, noticing the light in his ice-blue eyes was a steadfastness and persistence she had never seen before

Everyone looked towards that prison, only to see the merman still staring at Lin Haoqing, while his fish tail was in complete disarray

The two individuals exchanged glances for a moment, and one of them touched the other's arm, ultimately sending one person to fetch the medicine

Master Shaogu, it is dangerous here; the bricks and stones are continuously falling. Let us leave this place first

"What is inappropriate?" Ji Yunhe glanced at them and said, "The Young Master of the Valley has his own methods for taming demons, and I have my own ways." After saying this, she no longer looked at the two and walked towards the prison door, actually reciting incantations to open the dark iron prison door that held the merman captive.

Even though this monster indeed inspired a sense of admiration in Ji Yunhe

In the snowy March, although she was merely a young girl, her power was sufficient to rival the most formidable demon tamers in the empire. Her only shortcoming was that she could only kill, not tame. Upon hearing Ji Yunhe mention this matter, her expression immediately turned cold, and a murderous aura gathered in her palm

"Oh." Ji Yunhe blinked her eyes, shaking off the remaining drowsiness, "March?"

Therefore, anyone who falls in love with a demon shall be executed without mercy upon discovery

Ji Yunhe glanced at him and said, "Are you asking me to go out and pick you up or what?"

It is Snow March and ... . ... the slave of Snow March, a large cat demon with golden hair and异瞳.

Seeing Ji Yunhe lock the dungeon door herself, the two of them quickly stood up: "Is the protector leaving?"

The ice-blue eyes fixed intently on her, Ji Yunhe placed the Ningxue Pill in front of him: "Here, taking this will be beneficial for your injury."

Her insight into those monsters is astonishingly terrifying

It was just as he was twisting the iron chain with his fish tail that he pulled up the golden arrow from the ground, and the golden arrow struck the iron bars, causing the arrowhead to break and shoot out of the cage, grazing Lin Haoqing's face

Ji Yunhe looked at him, and as the merman's tail fell to the ground in a languid manner, Ji Yunhe reached out and embraced the merman's waist. At the junction of the scales and skin around his waist, the scales were still soft, glimmering faintly, and felt slightly cool to the touch. Ji Yunhe found this sensation quite marvelous, yet he did not dare to touch more, for there was not a single part of the merman's body that was uninjured.

Ji Yunhe smiled and said, "Is this secret enough to exchange for my life?"

At this moment, the demon tamers who had been watching outside had mostly fled after that last strike, while a few remaining ones, upon witnessing this scene, hurriedly shouted: "The protector must not be harmed"

Ji Yunhe left the dungeon, breathing a sigh of relief as she walked. The dungeon was too damp and stifling, nowhere near as comfortable as the outside world where freedom mingled with the scent of flowers and the breeze

"There is indeed. " Ji Yunhe glanced at Xue Sanyue and said, "However, it's one thing for others to care, but why are you so worried about this competition? You know my situation well enough."

The young master has his own measure, so it is not your place to worry about it

"The matters here are truly concerning." Xue Sanyue coldly glanced at Ji Yunhe, "In a competition concerning the position of the valley master, do you still have time to be lazy?"

The two individuals have known each other for many years, aware of the most hidden matters concealed within each other's hearts

Ji Yunhe immediately glanced outside and said: "Activate that mechanism and lower him down for me."

Having said that, she stepped away, leaving the two in the cell to whisper to each other: "Isn't the protector being a bit too gentle with this monster?"

A demon tamer gently clicked his tongue and sighed: "Isn't the young master being a bit too hasty? Such methods of punishment might just kill this merman."

Xue San Yue had been silent for a long time, scrutinizing Ji Yunhe as if assessing the truthfulness of her words. Finally, she asked Ji Yunhe: "What do you want?"

Oh, you are awake

I will stay a little longer, watching him, to prevent the merman from making any further moves. Ji Yunhe finally shifted her gaze away from the merman and looked back at Lin Haoqing, saying, "The young valley master has been injured by a golden arrow, and the spell on the arrow is formidable. Please treat him quickly to avoid further complications."

She inhaled the fragrance of the flowers, walking step by step, only to unexpectedly collide with a barrier

Not for any other reason, but because the demonic aura emanating from the body of this merman has already overflowed from the dungeon and is spreading outward

Ji Yunhe pushed the door open, startling the two people who were in a deep sleep

Ji Yunhe did not concern herself with the thoughts and speculations of those outside the prison. She only held the medicine bottle, intending to feed him the凝雪丸. However, the merman clenched his teeth tightly, and despite her efforts, she could not pry them open. With a sigh, she set the凝雪丸 aside. She then took the external injury ointment and began to apply it gently to his wounds.

Ji Yunhe watched the wisteria flowers fluttering down, and the two people standing under the tree appeared beautifully picturesque in the moonlight filtering through.

Snow in March brings a moment of astonishment

The prowess of Xue Sanyue in the Demon Taming Valley is well-known to all. Lin Haoqing has already left, and what remains are merely small fry. The two assistants could not speak in front of Xue Sanyue and could only raise their voices to Ji Yunhe, saying: "Protector! The prison door must not be opened! If the merman escapes..."

They exerted all their efforts to deepen the divide between the Yuyou clan and the monsters, allowing both factions to be utilized for their own purposes

The dark iron had scraped his skin, causing his wrist to be a mess of flesh and blood. It had now formed some scabs, a patch of scab and a patch of blood, making it look even more disgusting. Ji Yunhe helped him clean the wound again, applied medicine, and was in the process of bandaging it when she suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on her face.

Xue San Yue turned her head and glanced at her: "How did you know?"

I... I also do not want to disturb you, who does not know that your morning temper is terrifying

She truly seems to have come to save him

I want a friend" She smiled as she playfully twirled the long hair of Xue Sanyue around her fingertips, "a friend who will never betray me

In the Valley of Monsters, it is inappropriate to praise the monsters in public

What the merman was gazing at was precisely Ji Yunhe. ... Ji Yunhe was also looking at the merman, slightly furrowing her brows, seemingly harboring a sense of inexplicable concern for the merman ... .

How to train these monsters to become the most favored by the royal family is their most important task

Fortunately, those who were initially entangled in interests and became friends through secret exchanges ultimately turned out to be true friends

Ji Yunhe stood before the enormous tail of the merman, which at this moment had lost all its strength and lay limp on the ground. Looking up, he saw the silver hair matted with blood and ash, along with the pale face and the eyes that were only half-opened, relying solely on willpower.

"Guardian, medicine." The voice of the person delivering the medicine came from outside the cell, but upon seeing the merman lying on the ground, unbound by any chains, he hesitated. He did not dare to approach the cell and stood at a distance, clutching a bundle of medicine.

This merman

Unable to speak

She is kissing a monster, her slave

Ji Yunhe paid no attention to their voices. The two assistants stepped forward to stop Ji Yunhe from reciting the incantation, but before they could touch her, a sword qi "swished" down in front of them, embedding itself three inches into the stone ground, causing a chill to run down the spines of the two assistants

Ji Yunhe looked up at him again. For the merman, she had just used a knife on his tail, and he felt nothing at all. It was only the sudden lightness in his body that brought him back to a slight sense of awareness.

A girl in the bloom of youth

Only Ji Yunhe knows that Xue Sanyue and Li Shu are far more than this

She laid the merman flat on the ground, slightly furrowing her brow

The bundle passed through the gap in the railing and was steadily caught by Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe unwrapped the bundle and counted the contents; this person was indeed honest, bringing a good amount of medicine, but they were all external injury remedies, unable to treat the internal injuries of the merman.

An invisible wall of air obstructed her path

A friendship built on the knowledge of each other's hidden secrets is particularly unbreakable

She let out a soft sigh in her heart; a tough monster in the Monster Taming Valley would inevitably face more hardships. The harder the bones, the more difficult the days.

She smacked her lips, forcing herself to maintain her composure, and cleared her throat: "Taming monsters is a skill, and it's not just about who wakes up early that earns the monsters' trust." She rubbed her eyes and waved off Qu Xiaoxing, "Alright, alright, let's go. I'll tidy up a bit and then join you."

"Being able to say such words, I admire you even more. As you said, there is indeed no morality in the Demon Taming Valley, but I do have it." She stepped closer to Xue Sanyue, her excessively clear eyes causing Xue Sanyue to squint slightly. "I am a person who values fairness. Now that I know your secret, I will also tell you one of my secrets in exchange. How about that?"

"In any case, this is an opportunity," Xue Sanyue said firmly, no longer paying attention to Ji Yunhe, as she dragged her towards the dungeon.

Before the words had left his mouth, the merman's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted, fixating intently on Lin Haoqing. His eyes were bright and clear, showing no signs of despair, and even carried a more intense killing intent than the day before

The snow in March had unknowingly passed, and the two subordinates of Lin Haoqing, who remained behind to watch her, were already sitting back to back on a stone, dozing off.

Do not be anxious just yet. Ji Yunhe smiled and said, I see that you are a person with a chivalrous spirit, upholding the principles of the martial world, and coincidentally, I am as well

Lin Haoqing finally left the dungeon with the support and assistance of others

Ji Yunhe is not foolish; from the moment she saw Xue Sanyue kiss Li Shu, she understood what Xue Sanyue desired most in her heart. Like her, Xue Sanyue wanted to leave the Demon Taming Valley, yearned for freedom, and wished to live the life she desired.

Xue San Yue is formidable; her martial prowess is what Ji Yun He currently lacks the most. She must be protected by others in order to develop her own power.

The iron chain that ran through the fish tail was nearly torn apart by his recent movements, blood gushing forth, while the dark iron chain remained embedded in his body, and the golden arrow fixed to the ground below had already broken.

Oh, it seems that this merman has a hard exterior, yet surprisingly soft and thin skin on the face

The merman's wounds are numerous; some are fine and deep, while others are wide and large. Applying medicine is quite difficult, and bandaging is even more challenging. After dealing with all of this, Ji Yunhe raises her head again, and the light coming from outside the dungeon has transformed into a bright, clear moonlight

People are the same

Please bring me some medicine

Although the two people beside them had different expressions, they refrained from saying more due to Ji Yunhe's earlier threat

Otherwise? These two kept talking nonsense, making Ji Yunhe truly annoyed. "Should I beat you up and teach you a lesson?"

With a clang, the world inside and outside the prison was severed.

The demon tamer standing at a distance, upon seeing this, ran away without hesitation. The two who were ordered to stay behind had pale faces, desperately holding their ground, yet their legs had already begun to tremble.

Moreover, he reminisces about the past through her words

However, after a night of tossing and turning in contemplation, Ji Yunhe felt it was necessary to change her isolated and helpless situation

The slightly trembling eyes of the merman indicated to Ji Yunhe that he understood

Qu Xiaoxing was startled and took a step back from this fierce shout

The two assistants exchanged glances: "Guardian... is this to treat the injuries of this monster?"

Thus, this sentence not only saved her life but also earned her a friend

With a loud clang, it was forcefully smashed against the dark iron bars in front of Lin Haoqing

Ji Yunhe goes to bed late and wakes up late, and when she gets up, she is in a bad mood. This is basically well-known and aligns with the rules of the Demon Taming Valley.

Ha. In March, the snow brings a cold laugh, "The people from the west have been useless year after year. What great serpent demon? It cannot be dealt with. That serpent demon hasn't even transformed into human form yet, and a group of useless people have expended so much effort without being able to take it down. The reports sent up look terrifying, but in reality, it doesn't take much effort at all."
