On the winding sand steps, heavy and dense footsteps suddenly sounded. A group of people dressed in the costumes of Liangcheng Sect disciples were advancing along the sand steps.
There were about fifty of them, some holding knives, swords, carrying coffins, and some with bare hands. They were all in the realm of reincarnation.
The most surprising thing is that their leader is Wuwei, who is holding a broad-bladed sword, and those following him are disciples from the five sects of Sanwang Palace, Jiange, Daofu, Lingzu, and Ghost Sect.
Their clothes were in tatters, and the blood stains on their clothes and scars on their bodies were very conspicuous. Those who didn't know it thought they had just experienced a war.
Like Wuwei, these people look sluggish and don't have much expression on their faces, giving people a lifeless feeling.

Huayao and Ziyang walked one behind the other, walking aimlessly on the sand steps. They had no clear goal, so they kept walking along the sand steps.
Not long after the two left, the sweat on Ziyang's forehead fell down his face, and the scarf around his neck was already soaked with sweat. He shouted to Hua Yao who was walking in front: "Yao Yao, this scarf is all wet." It’s soaked, can I take it off?”
"It's really hot when I wear it. I feel like my neck is fine. If I continue to wear it, I will get sick."
Hua Yao paused slightly, stood there and listened to what he said, then slowly moved her eyes towards him, nodded slightly and said: "Okay! Just put this scarf away."
Zi Yang immediately took off the scarf, twisted his neck a few times, and found that there was no problem. After that, he folded the scarf in his hand and prepared to put it into the Shengxuan bag on his waist.
Suddenly, there were several clear coughs from the front. Holding a scarf in his hand, he looked up at Hua Yao, who was standing sideways, facing the sand wall. He frowned slightly and was silent for a long time.
Perhaps Ziyang guessed what she meant, so he took the scarf out of the Shengxuan bag and put it into the watershed inside his body.
After all, the scarf was a gift from Huayao. Putting it in the Shengxuan bag would inevitably make her feel that Ziyang didn't value what she gave her. Only placing the scarf in the watershed could reflect his cherishment and care for the scarf.
Although Hua Yao hooked her fingertips behind her hands and pretended not to care, the corner of her eye was focused on Zi Yang.
It wasn't until she saw Ziyang placing the scarf in the watershed with her own eyes that a satisfied smile appeared on her lips, and her nervousness dissipated.
Zi Yang walked over quickly and saw that she didn't turn around, so he asked, "What are you looking at here?"
Hua Yao turned around with a smile and said faintly: "I didn't see anything. Isn't this waiting for you?"
Zi Yang did not expose her to her face, but suddenly thought of something very important. He looked at Hua Yao and said with confusion: "By the way, Yaoyao, I have been here in the desert ruins for so long, and I haven't seen her yet. Where is the crazy blood ant colony that Guo Xuanyi mentioned, have you seen it?"
She shook her head with a smile and said softly: "I haven't seen it either."
Zi Yang naturally held her hand, raised his feet and continued walking forward, saying, "Do you think there are no crazy blood ant colonies here? If there are, then why can't we see them?"
She rolled her eyes at Zi Yang and said immediately: "You're stupid! It's too late for me to hide, but you want to see the legendary crazy blood ant colony. I really don't know how many lives you have."
Zi Yang explained with a smile: "I heard from Xuan Yi and the others that the crazy blood ant colony is very ferocious. We finally came to the desert ruins. It would be a pity not to see them."
Hua Yao stopped and said lazily: "Zi Yang, I'm tired, you carry me on your back."
He opened his eyes slightly and said in shock: "Carry you on my back? No, you have only walked a few steps and you are already tired?"
Hua Yao shook off his hand and said, "I've taken care of you for so long, what's wrong with letting you carry me for a few steps?"
Zi Yang said carefully: "How long have you been taking care of me? Aren't I the only one taking care of you these days? It's fine if I don't let you carry me, but you still want me to carry you?"
After hearing what he said, Hua Yao was silent for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I will carry you."
When she squatted in front of Zi Yang, he was stunned, thinking what the fuss was about?
Not allowing him to think too much, Hua Yao glanced sideways and urged, "What are you waiting for? Come up quickly."
He hesitated for a while and said: "It seems a little uncomfortable for a girl to carry me..."
She smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong with it. I like you. What's wrong with carrying you on my back? I'm willing!"
Zi Yang grabbed her arm and helped her up, then squatted in front of her and said, "Forget it, I'll carry you."
She clasped her hands together, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, pretending to be coy and said: "This is of your own free will, I didn't force you."
He felt helpless and said, "Come up quickly."
Hua Yao jumped onto his solid back. She held his neck with one hand, made a fist with the other hand and stretched forward, saying happily: "Let's go!"
Zi Yang supported her leg sockets with both hands and said as he walked: "I have to say that your little idea worked. It seems that you are not particularly stupid."
"Compared to you, I'm a little smarter." Hua Yao looked up, patted his shoulder gently, and mocked: "By the way, I'm telling you, you are the idiot!"
He paused slightly and said unconvinced: "Where am I stupid? Neither Pei Yuan nor Jia Juesheng said that I am stupid. You are the only one who said that I am stupid. Do you think I will believe you?"
"Believe it or not, in short, you are indeed not very smart in my mind."
After saying that, she reached out to cover her lips, trying to suppress her laughter.
Zi Yang slowly turned his head. Seeing that her expression didn't look like she was pretending, he smacked his lips and asked in a low voice, "Am I... really that stupid?"
Hua Yao stretched out her fair and tender jade hand in front of his eyes, her two slender fingers almost came together, leaving only a gap the size of a grain of rice. She said seriously: "A little bit, but the problem is not that big."
He said casually: "Before, I only knew that your butt was heavy, but now I understand that I was wrong, your body is heavier! To be honest, you should really lose weight."
Hua Yao's face changed slightly when she heard this. She hugged his neck tightly with her right arm, grabbed her right wrist with her left hand, and threatened: "What did you say?! Say it again! Do you believe it or not, I will strangle you to death!"
Zi Yang felt happy in his heart, but he did not show it, but said seriously: "I told the truth. It's useless for you to strangle me. If strangling me can make you stop being so heavy, then I am willing to let you go." You strangled me."
She lay on Ziyang's back, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said deliberately: "You can't carry me because you can't carry me, so you have to find reasons on my body. You are really good at it!"
When he heard Hua Yao say that his waist was weak, he lifted Hua Yao up a few times with both hands, and immediately said: "My waist is very good, let alone you alone, even if there are ten or eight more people, I can still carry her." move."
She put her arm around Ziyang's neck with a little force and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you carrying so many people on your back? Are you still evil-minded?!"
"I'm just making a metaphor. I don't mean anything else. Don't get it wrong." Ziyang was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained to her with a smile.
Hua Yao snorted coldly, half-squinted her beautiful eyes, and threatened in a low voice: "Without my permission, if you dare to mess around outside, you will see how I deal with you when the time comes."
Zi Yang opened his mouth slightly, paused, and said with a smile: "You have been with me for so long, don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
She said carefully: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens. When I'm not with you, who knows whether you will restrain yourself."
"Also! You are so weak and stupid. You can be easily coerced by others. It is normal for you to be deceived by other bad women."
She said so much, but only one sentence caught Zi Yang's attention. He asked doubtfully: "Not with me? When we get out of the desert ruins, where else can you go if you don't follow me?"
"Uh..." When asked by Zi Yang, Hua Yao looked flustered and did not directly tell him where to go. She thought for a while and said: "I will not leave you, but things in the world are unpredictable. There will always be times when I’m not by your side.”
Zi Yang snorted, nodded and said, "I thought you were going back to Wu Zheng Town."
"But don't worry, even if you are not with me, I can still protect myself. You don't have to worry about me at all."
Hua Yao was silent for a long time. Zi Yang carried her up countless sand steps, but never heard her speak.
He turned his head and glanced at Hua Yao on his back. Seeing the sad look on her face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
She slowly raised her head, moved her eyes towards him, lightly opened her lips and said, "Zi Yang, there's something I've always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask you."
Zi Yang smiled casually and said directly: "Is this necessary between you and me? You can ask whatever you want, I won't blame you."
She stared at Ziyang for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Ziyang, who is more important to you, me or Luo Yuan?"
There was no smile on Ziyang's face, and he asked seriously: "Why do you ask that?"
She dodged her eyes and smiled awkwardly: "I'm just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to say anything."
Zi Yang carefully recalled what happened when he was young and said in detail: "There is nothing that cannot be said. I was raised by my eldest brother and Feng Lan. Although Luo Yuan and I were not brothers from the same mother, he treated me exactly as he was. Like brothers."
"When I was young, no one wanted to be friends with me except the two of them because of the beast's paw."
"In the past, no matter what delicious food or drinks there were, my eldest brother would think of me immediately. So, without him, I wouldn't be alive today."
"What about me?" Hua Yao asked weakly.
"You..." He looked up at the sand board above his head. After a long silence, he said, "Without you, I would have died five years ago."
"Both you and eldest brother have saved my life and are my relatives, so I will not choose between you two."
