In the quiet cave, Ziyang wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but Yingluo was worried that he could not protect herself, so she refused to let him go.
But Ziyang couldn't beat her, couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to stand there and think of a way.
Yingluo persuaded, "Zi Yang, I'm also thinking about your safety. You'd better stay with me for a while. Once we're out of danger, I won't stop you if you want to leave."
"You don't need to care about me, and I don't need your protection." Ziyang's words were sharp, leaving no room for negotiation.
After hearing his words, Ying Luo looked at him in disbelief, feeling that Zi Yang standing in front of her seemed to be a different person.
Zi Yang said impatiently: "You are really annoyed. My life and death has nothing to do with you. You don't need to care about me like this."
"You have your way to go, and I have my way to go. Can you please not interfere with my choice?"
"What's wrong with you? You were fine just now, why are you losing your temper?" As she said that, she took a few steps forward.
Zi Yang took two steps back and immediately said, "Don't come over! I'm leaving, don't follow me."
When Ying Luo heard that he was leaving, her eyes suddenly changed and her attitude changed: "Leave? Where are you going? Without my permission, let me see who dares to take you away!"
As soon as she said this, Ziyang panicked, obviously not expecting her to be so determined.
Originally, he wanted to use sarcastic words to make her retreat, but he ended up backfiring and unintentionally angered her.
Just when Ziyang was at his wits' end, a burst of heart-rending laughter suddenly sounded in the cave, like the sound of nature on earth, which was unforgettable for a long time.
Zi Yang looked around, a look of joy appeared on his face, and said, "Yao Rou, is it really you?"
After Ying Luo saw his excited look, her eyes suddenly dimmed and she stood there with a complex expression.
A black shadow flashed past, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Yingluo. She smiled faintly, glanced at the woman in a black hooded cloak, and said provocatively: "What? You want to take him away?"
Yaorou smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I want to take him away, but that he wants to go with me."
Zi Yang hurriedly ran two steps forward and came to Yaorou's side, and asked with a smile: "Yaorou, didn't you fall into the lava? How did you survive?"
Yaorou quickly lowered her head and turned sideways, raising her hands to cover her cheeks to prevent him from seeing the scar on her forehead.
When he saw the large scorched skin on the back of her hand, the smile on his face gradually solidified and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yao Ju said: "Zi Yang, please go, I don't want to see you yet."
"What are you doing here if you don't want to see me?" When he asked, Yaorou wanted to turn around and take a look at him, but she was afraid of scaring him as she had already changed beyond recognition.
Therefore, she fell into a brief silence, not knowing how to face him.
Zi Yang took advantage of her unpreparedness, grabbed her wrist, and turned her to face him. Yaorou hurriedly looked sideways. Although she was wearing a snow-white silk mask, the ugly brown-gray skin on her forehead could not be covered up. .
Obviously, this must also be the case under the face covered by the mask.
He slowly hugged her into his arms, resting his face against her hair, and comforted her: "It's okay, no matter what you become, I can't shake my feelings for you."
Yaorou hugged him tightly with both hands and said in a low voice, "Zi Yang, no one is willing to accept me like I am now."
Zi Yang knew what she was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "From now on, I will treat you like my own sister and will never dislike you."
After hearing his words, Yaorou's eyes changed slightly and she said with disappointment, "Is it just sister..."
He felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry. I can't give you what you want. I can only use every means to make it up to you."
Although Yaorou was unwilling in her heart, she didn't show it and said, "Okay... I'm very satisfied to be by your side for the rest of my life."
At this moment, Yingluo snorted coldly and said softly: "Are you two finished talking? Come with me after you finish talking."
Zi Yang looked at Ying Luo, whose face was covered with frost, and said, "Ying Luo, I've said it before, I hope you respect my choice."
Yingluo glanced at him coldly and asked in a cold voice: "Respect your choice? When you saved me, why didn't you respect my choice?"
When she saw Zi Yang lowering his head, she took a step back and said, "You can leave if you want. As long as this woman is strong enough to protect you, I have nothing to say."
Zi Yang immediately refused: "No! Swords have no eyes. I don't want to see you two fighting because of me."
"I don't want to see you get hurt, and I don't want to see Yaorou get hurt by you. Let's end this matter, okay?"
Yingluo glanced at Yaorou with disdain and said with great disdain: "She wants to hurt me? What an idiot!"
Just as Yaorou was about to reply, Ziyang hurriedly stopped her and said to Yingluo with a smile: "Don't be like this, we are all friends, there is no need to get tense."
Yingluo didn't want to embarrass Ziyang, so she said, "It's okay if we don't get into a tense situation. You come with me, and I'll let her leave here."
Hearing this, Yaorou immediately said displeasedly: "Didn't you hear that Ziyang just said that he didn't want to go with you?"
Yingluo said calmly: "It's his business if he doesn't want to go with me. It's my business if I take him away. Since he doesn't want to, then I can only take him away by force."
Yaorou looked at Zi Yang beside her and said angrily: "Zi Yang, there is no reason to talk to this kind of woman. No matter what you say, she won't listen."
Yingluo frowned slightly and said slightly dissatisfied: "What do you want to do? I think you have a good relationship with Ziyang, so I don't want to hurt you. I hope you have some self-awareness and don't know good from evil."
As soon as she said this, Yaorou glared at her fiercely. One can imagine how annoyed she was at the moment.
Especially since Ziyang was still beside her, what Yingluo just said made her lose face.
Zi Yang grabbed Yaorou's wrist and persuaded her, "Don't be angry first. She is a sharp-tongued person. Just tell her clearly about certain things. There is no need to be so tit-for-tat."
Seeing that she was stopped by Zi Yang, Ying Luo deliberately challenged her: "If you're afraid, just leave obediently, so as not to embarrass yourself in front of Zi Yang."
"After all, you are still the sister he just recognized. If I hit you too hard, it would not be good for you to lose face in front of him."
The reason why she said this was to force Yaorou to take action. Otherwise, with Ziyang on the side to dissuade her, she really wouldn't be able to make the other party attack her.
Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, Yaorou immediately shook Ziyang's palm away and rushed towards Yingluo with her bare hands.
On the other hand, Yingluo didn't want to take advantage of her, so she didn't use her dagger, but fought her hand-to-hand.
After Ziyang saw this scene, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
The two women are currently fighting fiercely, so naturally they don't take his words seriously, and both sides have no intention of stopping.
After shouting a few words, Zi Yang saw no response from them. He also realized this and understood that they would not give up until they decided the winner.
But Yingluo, who has not recovered from her injuries, is Yaorou's opponent in her heyday? Not long after the two of them fought, she gradually became weaker and found it difficult to withstand the opponent's fierce offensive.
Not long after, Yaorou slapped her on the heart, and the latter took a few steps back. Finally, she leaned against the stone wall to barely stabilize her body.
Soon, drops of blood began to fall down drop by drop along her pretty chin.
Ziyang ran over quickly, held her arms with both hands, and said with concern and persuasion: "Are you okay? Stop fighting, stop fighting."
"If my injury hadn't healed, I would have made you look good!" Yingluo covered her heart with her hands and glared at Yaorou fiercely.
Yaorou crossed her arms across her chest, and Yingluo knew through her mask how proud she was at the moment, and said, "Anyway, you are Ziyang's friend, and I don't want to hurt you too seriously."
She moved her eyes to Zi Yang and said softly: "Zi Yang, let's go."
Zi Yang scolded sternly: "Can you please stop saying a few words!"
When he said this, Yaorou was so angry that she stomped her feet and turned sideways, not even looking at the two of them.
He helped Yingluo sit on the ground, and with his left hand as a knife, he cut the palm of his right hand and brought it to her mouth, saying: "Come on, drink quickly, don't show off."
Ziyang saw her turning her face to one side and immediately said, "Take off the mask quickly, can't you see my hands are bleeding?"
If Yaorou was not here, she might drink Ziyang's blood, but at this time, she was defeated by Yaorou, and she was still very unconvinced.
She originally wanted to tear off a piece of her sleeve to help Ziyang stop the bleeding, but after thinking about it, she took out a piece of black cloth from the Lingxuan bag, wrapped his wound, and said, "I'm fine."
Ziyang stuffed a bottle the size of a thumb into her palm and said, "Your injury has not fully recovered yet, so it will make me feel more at ease to bring it with you."
Ying Luo looked at the bright red blood in the bottle, raised her eyes to look at Zi Yang, and held the bottle tightly in her palm.
Obviously, Zi Yang had expected that she would be angry, so he took out the bottle to collect the blood when she wasn't paying attention.
In order to prevent the two women from fighting again, he helped Yingluo up and said with a smile, "Okay. She can protect me, don't worry."
"You can't stay in this place for long. If there's nothing serious about your health, please leave as soon as possible."
Yingluo nodded slowly and walked out of the cave step by step. When she passed by Yaorou, she didn't even look at her and said coldly: "After I recover from my injury, I will definitely come to you!"
Yaorou didn't even look at her, and said angrily: "We're always here for you. However, I advise you to find more people and don't lose too badly."
In order to prevent the two women from fighting again, Ziyang hurriedly came to Yingluo and urged: "Stop talking, please leave quickly."
Yingluo glanced at Yaorou fiercely, snorted coldly, and walked directly out of the cave.
When she walked out of the cave, a group of people wearing night clothes and masks gathered in front of her. Moreover, they were all at a very high level, basically in the demigod realm. They lowered their heads and said respectfully: "Shadow King!"
Yingluo saw two captured strangers in the crowd, and she asked, "Who are they two?"
The man standing in front of her raised his hands and replied: "King Huiying, these two people are unknown. They may be members of the League of Heroes."
"Take them with you and let's go." Ying Luo didn't ask any questions and left after saying that.
Soon, under her leadership, the vast group of people gradually disappeared into the night.
