This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 254 - 246: The Golden Support, Liang Mouren

Chapter 254: Chapter 246: The Golden Support, Liang Mouren

"He Zhiqing, when did you recover your memory? And how is Sister Yu?" Su Youyi swiftly changed the subject, no longer wanting to maintain the awkward silence she found herself in as she hid behind her senior brother.

While transferring the vitality produced by the Qinglian Creation to heal Su Youyi, Liang Yi curiously observed He Zhiqing’s pupils, which had reverted to black. Such an oddity with He Zhiqing’s eyes was never heard of in his past life, and seeing it now piqued his curiosity.

Just now, with a single glance at He Zhiqing, Liang Yi felt as though hidden within his eyes lay a river—a River of Time.

However, since He Zhiqing clearly had no desire to dwell on the topic, Liang Yi wouldn’t be tactless enough to pry. Above all, he was most concerned about his junior sister.

That absurd contract they inexplicably formed upon crossing over had now been dissolved, much to Liang Yi’s relief. With it in existence, Liang Yi would have been powerless to sacrifice himself to save his junior sister, but thankfully it was now gone.

"The sun is out!" Su Youyi watched as the shadow engulfing her senior brother gradually dissipated, and when she looked back, she saw a sunrise emerging behind them.

The remaining ice crystals reflected the light of the rising sun, brightening the entire scene and lifting everyone’s spirits, including Liang Yi and the others.

"Let’s go back first, Sister Yu was also badly injured. I let her stay at the mountain to heal, and then I came over to help by myself." After their victory in the great battle, He Zhiqing was in a good mood as well and gestured for the two to follow him with a smile.

The power of the Qinglian Creation was truly formidable. In just a short while, Su Youyi’s internal injuries had significantly improved.

Liang Yi paused the intake of vitality to her for a moment, planning to catch up with He Zhiqing to visit Sister Yu and learn more about the situation.

The warm current from her senior brother’s palms gradually faded, and Su Youyi felt somewhat reluctant to part. ’Absence makes the heart grow fonder,’ and by her count, it had been many years since they last met.

Yet, the thought that her senior brother was now not only her senior brother but also her Dao companion, made her excitedly want to leap into his arms.

Seeing the sly grin that Su Youyi couldn’t hide, Liang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle—her smile was as sweet as if she had tasted honey.

Liang Yi stretched out his hands and gently covered her cheeks, tugging lightly on either side with a mischievous smile, "Why are you grinning like a sneaky little weasel? Which family’s chickens have you stealthily devoured?"

"Mmmh... Li Cai is the sneaky weasel. Let go of meee, what if my face gets stretched out?" Although Su Youyi’s muffled protest wasn’t very articulate, her eyes still brimmed with joy and content.

This kind of teasing and playful daily life was what she yearned for, just like the times at Youdao Mountain when she first joined the sect. Back then, though her senior brother was very kind to her, it was more a brotherly care for a younger sister.

Now, from every action and glance of her senior brother, Su Youyi could sense her importance in his heart—his smile was much sweeter than honey.

Liang Yi, glancing down and noticing his junior sister’s clothes were somewhat torn from the fierce battle, casually took out one of his robes from his ring and wrapped her up snugly.

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

He Zhiqing, leading the way ahead, nearly had a dark cloud over his face. Listening to the sweet nothings behind him, he felt as if he were an extra in the scene.

Although he had foreseen such a "future" possibility, when it actually unfolded around him...

Sorry, but he just wanted to kick over the lovey-dovey couple behind him!

He quickened his pace silently, crossing over the mountains to a hillside, and then the figure of Yu Gejing appeared in the trio’s view.

Yu Gejing was currently meditating and healing with her eyes closed; her injuries were indeed very severe this time. Although her foundation couldn’t be damaged in the Illusion Realm, it was still better to be cautious.

Utilizing the convenience of the Array, Yu Gejing could sense the arrival of the three without even extending her Divine Sense and slowly opened her eyes at the same time.

"Sister Yu, are you alright?" Su Youyi rushed to Yu Gejing’s side, her face etched with concern.

Yu Gejing, having recovered her memory, gently patted Su Youyi’s head to indicate she was fine. This Secret Realm ordeal saw them stand together through adversity for the longest time, and their memories from the Illusion Realm remained intact. Their relationship was now even better than that of real sisters.

"But how come Liang junior brother is here?" Yu Gejing did spot an inconsistency. They had entered the Secret Realm near the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, and it seemed Liang Yi did not follow them in, did he?

"Haha, it’s a long story, but to put it simply, I discovered a Transmission Array in a small Secret Realm near Medicine Valley. After casually fixing it, I was transported here," Liang Yi laughed it off, superficially glossing over the matter as he didn’t really have an excuse for his purposeful action.

"Then an old man from the Purple Cloud Sect said you guys were in danger, so I rushed over here as fast as I could."

Upon saying that, Liang Yi looked at his junior sister, his gaze still filled with lingering fear. He didn’t want to think about what would have happened if he had arrived any later.

"Fortunately, my timing was perfect."

Su Youyi’s just-calmed Mental State rippled again, gazing at her senior brother with tender affection.

He Zhiqing over there seemed somewhat preoccupied, and as for Liang Yi’s late arrival... in fact, he had seen a glimpse of that future with his own eyes.

It was quite dark, truly pitch black, a sight he had never encountered after awakening those eyes.

"Oh?" Yu Gejing looked at Liang Yi with suspicion, then at Su Youyi, and suddenly had an epiphany!

However, she did not feel too envious this time, because it seemed her own stone was also beginning to show signs of awakening.

As He Zhiqing was pondering what that future entailed, he was suddenly interrupted by his senior sister’s sweet smile, leaving him scratching his head in confusion.

"What kind of memories have you recovered, Junior Brother He?" Yu Gejing waved her hand and all the arrays disappeared as she stood up and stretched.

"When we reached the third seal location, the seal left by Master broke and I remembered everything," He Zhiqing pointed to his own eyes; his senior sister was one of the first to know about his eye condition apart from himself.

"Now you..." Yu Gejing looked genuinely worried, coming over to He Zhiqing and scrutinizing his seemingly normal black pupils.

"Just a Daoist Skill," He Zhiqing awkwardly turned his head away, unwilling to look into his senior sister’s clear, sparkling eyes because he saw a future that made his heart race.

"What did you see to make such a strange expression?" Yu Gejing’s face drew closer, wanting to probe further.

"Nothing... nothing..." He Zhiqing stepped back hurriedly, turning his head, seeking help from Liang Yi.

Bro, help me out!

Receiving He Zhiqing’s plea, Liang Yi nodded in understanding.

"Senior Sister Yu, Junior Brother He was complaining about me just now on our way back," Liang Yi said with a face full of grievance.

"Huh? What about him?" Yu Gejing, surprised to receive such a report, was bewildered at how such a good-natured junior brother could have complaints.

"Whew!" Seeing his senior sister’s attention diverted, He Zhiqing took a quiet deep breath and discreetly gave Liang Yi a thumbs-up, knowing he could rely on his buddy at the critical moment.

Although he had just been showing off his relationship in front of me, I might as well forgive him for now.

Su Youyi also looked puzzled. Had Junior Brother He just been complaining about his brother? Her recollection was filled with the warmth from her brother’s palm and clothes, with nothing else coming to mind?

That’s right, what did the foe who just perished look like? Why do all her memories seem to be dominated by her brother descending from the skies?

"He just... complained that I killed that Abyss fiend too quickly!" Liang Yi’s brain was whirring rapidly, and an appropriate excuse suddenly struck him as he touched his nose.

"He complained that you killed too quickly? Why?" Yu Gejing was flabbergasted, wondering about such a peculiar reason, thinking that Cang Dong should have been better off being dispatched swiftly. Now, recalling the antagonist’s insincere smile was nauseating.

If she had been her usual self, she would have realized outside that courtyard that the peach blossom forest and the courtyard itself were a powerful seal. Moreover, how could one possibly encounter anyone normal in such a sinister place?

"Ah~" Liang Yi turned around with a sigh, facing the slowly rising sun and looking over the golden sea of clouds illuminated by the morning glow, continuing with an admiring tone.

"Junior Brother He, upon seeing Senior Sister Yu so severely injured, was enraged beyond measure, wishing he could tear that Abyss creature to pieces to atone for the crime."

Liang Yi grew more excited as he spoke, fabricating a version that even He Zhiqing found baffling when he heard it:

"When Junior Brother He arrived, his aura was fierce; with a single stroke, he dispersed the frost and fog that filled the Heavenly Vault. His eyes were as wide as brass bells, fixed intently on that Abyss fiend."

"Unfortunately, he was just a step too late and arrived just as I struck down that Abyss creature with two blades. Junior Brother He was unhappy because he missed the chance to slay the enemy himself, and he grumbled at me several times along the way, right, Junior Sister?"

Liang Yi winked at Su Youyi, who stood beside him, looking dumbfounded.

"Oh... oh, it seems so," Su Youyi did not want to deceive Senior Sister Yu, but had no choice but to go along with what Junior Brother He said due to his dullness.

"Really?" Yu Gejing looked at He Zhiqing with an odd expression yet showed no doubt about the truthfulness of Liang Yi’s words; indeed, she remembered Junior Brother He leaving with pursed lips, looking quite angry.

At that moment, He Zhiqing was shocked; he had seen countless futures but had never anticipated this one. It seemed that his infallible eyes never functioned normally when it came to Liang Yi!

Asking how many worries one can have, it was just like Liang Yi betraying his team! The thumb, initially lifted, silently turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

Seeing Senior Sister’s slowly approaching gaze, He Zhiqing involuntarily swallowed, not having foreseen such a future.

Meanwhile, Liang Yi was already happily enjoying the spectacle while hugging his junior sister, thinking that not awarding himself the title of ’Best Support’ would be unfair. After they got out, he would definitely have to treat Junior Brother He to a meal.
