“You…”

“Heh, this human is too weak, he didn’t even notice when I aimed for his chest. Miss Long, look ahead, we found six living humans.”

“Humph, just kill them, I want to get out of here quickly.”

Seeing Xiao Li’s dead body after being attacked by a mysterious person, Ruan Xiaoyue’s group who witnessed the incident were immediately surrounded by many human-like creatures. Seeing all the besiegers made Xue Lanting know who they really were.

“You demons! Why are you in the alternate realm! Where did you come from!”

“Hehe, weak humans, you are not the only ones who found the gate to enter the alternate realm. We also found it, we also already know that you humans will gather to enter this realm from the spies we have installed in your territory. We will not let go of those of you who have entered the alternate realm, we will kill you all and we will collect the treasures you have obtained in this realm.”

“S-senior Xue we are surrounded! There are too many demons! W-we must escape!”

“Little Ruan quickly take us away from here! They are demons we must get out of this alternate realm and inform all the elders who have gathered to kill them!”

“All of you hold on! Let me lift you all up right away-“

“Too late! It’s no use running away, we’ve already taken over your alternate realm entrance. We’ll kill you all here, die!”

When Ruan Xiaoyue was about to approach Sister Xue and her junior who were already holding hands to lift them up, it was too late. The demons surrounding them didn’t give them time and immediately attacked them with a powerful combined attack. In panic, Ruan Xiaoyue immediately stepped forward using her body as a shield so that Sister Xue and the others wouldn’t get hurt.

With all the combined attacks from the demons surrounding them, Ruan Xiaoyue’s group who didn’t have time to escape could only release all their qi to protect themselves, the powerful combined attack caused many trees to fall and the place where Ruan Xiaoyue’s group was filled with dust that covered the view of all the demons.

After a while, the dust that covered the place gradually disappeared and revealed Ruan Xiaoyue who was standing in front protecting Xue Lanting and her juniors who were quite injured because of the remaining attacks that she could not withstand.

Although Ruan Xiaoyue who received all the attacks only suffered scratches, because of her lack of experience made her forget to use qi which caused the people she was protecting to also get hit.

‘I was careless, because of my lack of experience they were also injured, even though I had told them that I would protect them. Fortunately because my strong body was able to withstand the attacks that made Sister Xue and the others not die, but this is embarrassing, if not for the training given by master, I would have died. Master was right to tell me to gain experience first, I can’t be arrogant and look down on someone because I am stronger.’

“Guhuk! Guhuk!”

“Senior Xue, hold on, let us treat your wounds first! M-Miss Ruan, please protect us, Senior Xue is already very pale, we have to heal the wounds she received!”

“Y-yes, sorry for not being able to protect you all, I was too careless!”

Seeing the human they attacked still holding on, made the demons who surrounded them confused. After a while, they immediately realized that the cause must be because of the treasure the human used.

“T-they managed to hold on? That must be the treasure she used, let’s attack them all again!”

“Bastards! I won’t let you attack again!”

Gathering her qi into her legs and following the technique taught by her master, Ruan Xiaoyue immediately dashed forward quickly disappearing from the sight of the demons that surrounded her group. Arriving behind the demons that surrounded her one by one, Ruan Xiaoyue attacked the demons with a hand movement stabbing towards their hearts, the demons that were hit died instantly with a large hole in their chests because they did not realize that their chests had been stabbed by Ruan Xiaoyue, because she was moving so fast.

The demon who had a large and tall body and his form was like a mixture of human and wolf who had been standing next to a small girl who looked like a human who he called Miss Long. Stepped forward after seeing Ruan Xiaoyue's deadly move that seemed absurd to him.

"Hahaha, I didn't think that a very young human child would have such power, you are too dangerous, I as Miss's guard-"

"Noisy!"

Ignoring the demon’s arrogant words, Ruan Xiaoyue filled her feet with qi again, then forced the qi from the soles of her feet while jumping with an explosive sound towards the demon. Arriving in front of the demon’s face very quickly, Ruan Xiaoyue immediately hit its head from the front which caused the demon’s face to shatter instantly.

Seeing her guard die beside her did not make the little girl with a human-like build and additional horns and tail tremble, she only looked at the little girl wearing a shabby robe and approached her face to face while speaking to her in a disdainful tone.

“Heh, it’s interesting to see you being able to easily kill my guard who was at the Early Golden Core stage of cultivation. You were lucky that my guard’s cultivation was suppressed which allowed you to kill him. However, unlike me, even though my cultivation is only at the Peak Building Core stage, my strength is comparable to a Middle Golden Core stage. You won’t stand a chance against me.”

“Noisy, you’re the only one left here. All your subordinates have been wiped out, you will also follow them, since your subordinates have injured Sister Xue and her sect juniors, I will not let you off.”

“Huh? How dare you act arrogantly towards me, you should be happy to die with honor because you will be killed by me Long Linglu who has the pure bloodline of the divine dragon race.”

“Shut up, whether you are a dragon, a king, or whatever, I will still kill you. I deliberately did not kill you to see if there were still guards for you, because no one came out while we were talking, I have made sure that you are the only one left here.”

“I admit that your strength is quite shocking to humans. However, with me as one of the dragon descendants, your strength will not be felt by me. I will make sure that you die here, feel my blow!”

“Sob… sob, p-please let me go, I won’t dare to attack you anymore.”

With a bruised face, a broken right arm, and cracked ribs from the fight against Ruan Xiaoyue. Long Linglu who was crying and no longer had the will to fight against this monster begged to let her go. Hearing her pleas only made Ruan Xiaoyue reply indifferently.

“Huh? Where was your arrogance earlier? I admit that your body is very tough because it was able to withstand my punches which I even coated with qi. But, where was your arrogance earlier? I’m still not satisfied with hitting you.”

“Hiiiiiii…. P-please, let me go, sob… I’ll tell you where the treasure is located in this alternate realm. Sob… please.”

“I don’t believe it, you could be giving me false information, or maybe you demons have already found it and even taken the treasure out of this realm.”

“N-no, I didn’t deceive you! The treasure is still there, we haven’t entered that place yet, because we have to eradicate you humans first to rule this world. I swear the treasure is still there!”

“Then tell me quickly.”

“Y-yes, it’s located in the southwest not far from here, later there you will find ancient ruins that are slightly buried by the ground. The treasure is located inside those ruins, we really haven’t explored it yet. Since I’ve told you please let me go.”

“Hmm.. since you’ve told me that information, then I’m done with you. It’s time for you to die.”

“W-wait! Aren’t you going to let me go! Where’s your promise!”

“I never once said to let you go, you yourself voluntarily told me that information.”

“You tricked me! P-please, sob.. let me go, if you kill me the clan elders waiting for me outside won’t let you go.”

“I’m not afraid of them.”

“M-my father won’t let you go either! He’s a very powerful cultivator! You’ll definitely be found by him and you’ll die a very painful death!”

Ignoring Long Linglu who was screaming begging to be let go, Ruan Xiaoyue coated her hands with a fairly dense qi, which she thought was enough to penetrate the tough body of the crying little dragon girl. Raising her hands with the intention of ending the little girl’s life, she stopped after hearing a weak voice from behind her.

“Little Ruan, cough! Don’t kill her.”

“Sister Xue, you’re still badly injured, you better take care of your wounds first. Sister Xue doesn’t need to care about this demon.”

“That’s not it, I heard it earlier. Didn’t this little girl tell you that she has the pure bloodline of the divine dragon.”

“Why, sister Xue? I don't need to be afraid of her family. Master will definitely protect me.”

“Listen to my explanation first, I have heard of dragon bloodlines, although I have never heard of divine dragon bloodlines. At least I'm sure this demon girl isn't lying. It's possible that your master's intention in telling you to bring a rare beast was to bring this demon girl to your master, your master must have known that the demon race would attack and told you to bring one of these demons which has a very rare bloodline. Cough! Cough! Well, although that's just my speculation.”

"Master, do you know all this? Yes, even before I left, Master told me not to be afraid. She must have known all this. Sob... Master, you are too kind, you must have prepared all this and subtly made RuanRuan also participate in this realm so that RuanRuan can gain experience without having to feel very big danger."

“Little Ruan, your master must be a very powerful cultivator, she was even able to calculate all these events and tell you to leave. It’s amazing.”

“Of course!”

Replying to Sister Xue’s words with enthusiasm because she had praised her master, of course Ruan Xiaoyue would be happy. After being happy enough to praise her master in front of Sister Xue, Ruan Xiaoyue turned her gaze back to Long Linglu who was still crying. And said something to her.

“You heard that devil earlier, right? I won’t kill you, but instead I will take you to my master to make you her pet.”

“Impossible! I would rather die than be a human’s pet!”

“You can’t refuse, I will still take you by force to my master. You just have to choose to follow me without force and I won’t do anything to you, or I will break your legs and take you to my master by force.”

“Sob… sob… I will follow without force.”
