Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 48: Journey Home

Yingxianju, the most famous inn in the capital of the Kingdom of Yan.

At this moment, the first light of dawn appeared, and inside a room with an ancient and elegant atmosphere, the atmosphere was very quiet.

The red candle in the lamp was only left with a short piece, and the candle flame flickered in the breeze.

The carved incense burner emitted wisps of green smoke, and the hua mei bird hanging by the window was grooming its feathers, occasionally chirping crisply.

A large bed made of agarwood was covered with a red veil, and a luxurious long sword hung above the head of the bed.

Through the veil, two figures could be seen on the bed, embracing each other while sleeping.

Suddenly, one of them let out a soft cry, propped up the bed, sat up with legs curled, and began to tidy up the disheveled hair.

The graceful silhouette that appeared through the veil could make people imagine the extraordinary beauty of this woman.

"It's too early. Can't we rest a little longer?"

A slightly casual male voice sounded, as he raised his hand and caressed the woman's face, teasingly saying, "You've been sleeping late these days. Although you have nourishing magic power, aren't you afraid of aging prematurely?"

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself. You replenish my magic power every day. I wonder when you will break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage, my husband~"

The woman's voice was clear and crisp, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, unexpectedly clear and pleasant to the ear.

Especially the slightly deliberate "husband" at the end, it was charming and captivating, making people feel relaxed and enchanted.

"Cough cough cough, I've been cultivating these days too. The taste of the Wondrous Sword Heavenly Sound Body is truly wonderful. It actually allowed me to smoothly advance to the sixth level of Qi Refining!"

The man's voice seemed to be reminiscing, and after a moment, he paused and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Long'er, you've lost a lot of Primordial Yin spiritual energy to help me break through the realm."

"It's alright. I can make up for the Primordial Yin in a few days. With the help of some Spirit Pills, it won't affect my cultivation speed."

The two of them chatted and lingered for a while before finally getting dressed and getting up.

These two people were Liang Xiao and Qin Long.

They opened the red veil and left the gentle paradise.

Liang Xiao walked to the window, playing with the hua mei bird while admiring the beauty behind the screen with a smile.

At this moment, he was wearing a white dragon robe, exuding a heroic aura. His body was filled with abundant magic power, and his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes made him look dignified and imposing.

However, Qin Long, who walked out from behind the screen, was even more beautiful. Especially after taking off her usual white armor and putting on a noblewoman's blue silk palace dress.

Her posture was elegant, like a fairy walking on dust, her eyebrows and eyes filled with affection, making people forget their worries at first sight.

The strong contrast made Liang Xiao unable to look away, even though he had seen her like this many times before.

The two of them dressed properly and immediately went out.

In the capital of the Kingdom of Yan, after the chaos of a few days ago, it had returned to its former prosperity and liveliness.

This surprised Liang Xiao and Qin Long. They sighed at the people living here, who had such big hearts.

But they had also heard about the reasons behind the scenes. It was rumored that the royal family of Yan had taken action and helped suppress the news of the annihilation of the General's Mansion.

It was quite interesting. Liang Xiao and Qin Long not only defeated the three thousand Iron Armor Guards head-on, but also conquered the General's Mansion and killed the current king's younger brother.

But instead of facing retaliation, the king of Yan came to handle the aftermath for them.

However, thinking about Yan Wushu's half-demon identity, tsk, whether there was a blood relationship between the king of Yan and Yan Wushu was indeed a very controversial topic.

Perhaps it involved some scandals of the royal family or some conspiracy, but Liang Xiao, who was intoxicated by pleasure and beauty, didn't want to bother with it these days.

Qin Long had avenged his great hatred, and all the culprits had been killed. He had achieved his goal and should not cause any more trouble.

Since the king of Yan and Liang Xiao had such an understanding, Liang Xiao decided not to investigate the reasons behind it anymore.

And most importantly, his journey home was approaching.

But looking at Qin Long, who was a few steps away buying a zhu chai from a vendor, Liang Xiao shrugged and decided to enjoy himself first before saying anything.

The two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, possessed outstanding temperament, naturally attracting the attention of many ordinary people.

Even Qin Long's extraordinary appearance attracted many admirers, causing quite a commotion.

In response to such individuals, Liang Xiao would not hesitate to throw punches, sometimes even fighting from one end of the street to the other, much to Qin Long's delight.

The capital city was not small, and the two of them traveled from within the city to the outskirts.

Both of them were cultivators with long-lasting spiritual power, so climbing mountains was a piece of cake, not to mention walking on the edge of a cliff.

On the Purple Smoke Mountain outside the capital city, clouds and mist churned, making it the perfect place to admire the sunset.

At this moment, as the sun gradually set, the radiant glow of the sunset was no longer as dazzling as it was at noon.

Qin Long and Liang Xiao sat on the edge of a thousand-foot cliff, and suddenly Qin Long kissed Liang Xiao's cheek.

"Do you have something on your mind? Are you thinking about where to go next?"

Then, she whispered softly in Liang Xiao's ear, her warm breath tickling his ear.

Liang Xiao nodded, exhaled, and stared into the woman's eyes, asking, "Are you willing to go back to Myriad Demons Cave with me?"

Qin Long smiled, tilted her head, and remained silent.

This slightly disappointed Liang Xiao, but he had already anticipated this outcome, so it was just a confirmation.

"I obtained the inheritance of the senior Nascent Soul from Heavenly Sun Mountain, which means I have taken on the cause and effect. Although Heavenly Sun Mountain was destroyed by Myriad Demons Cave, it has nothing to do with the two of us. However, I don't want to carry the inheritance of Heavenly Sun Mountain and join Myriad Demons Cave."

Qin Long gently touched Liang Xiao's cheek and lowered her head apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry."

Soon after, she heard Liang Xiao chuckle softly.

"There's no need to apologize. It was within my expectations."

"You have seen many secrets about me, and yet you turned a blind eye. How could I restrict your freedom?"

"Because you are someone who doesn't like to owe others, so proud and persistent, yet willing to give your all for the people you care about, exceptionally pure."

"I just like this about you."

Liang Xiao's straightforward words made Qin Long's pretty face blush slightly. Annoyed, she slapped his waist, causing him to gasp in pain.

When this woman wasn't paying attention, her strength was truly formidable. It felt like being struck by a sword.

"So, are you going back to Myriad Demons Cave next?"

Qin Long didn't turn his head, looking ahead as he asked.

Liang Xiao nodded gently, then reached out his hand as if trying to grasp the setting sun, squinting his eyes and saying, "I want to see the longer-lasting and more beautiful scenery on the path of cultivation, not to waste this opportunity in this world."

"I see..."

Qin Long raised her pretty face slightly, suddenly smiled, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.

"Now that I have successfully avenged myself, it's time to start a new journey. Why not consider your goal as mine as well?"

"Decision made. After you leave, I will travel to different countries, and maybe I will find a good sect to join."

Hearing the girl say this, Liang Xiao became a little flustered. It seemed like the hard-won bride was about to fly away.

"Don't worry, I won't easily fall in love with someone else. The Great Dao is long, and we will eventually meet again."

Qin Long was perceptive and saw through the man's thoughts with just one glance.

"Cough, cough, I'm not that worried. I have confidence in my own charm."

Liang Xiao argued unconvincingly.

Then the two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"I should go."

An hour later, as the remnants of the sunset completely dissipated, Liang Xiao stood up, took a step forward, and jumped off the cliff. He turned back and waved goodbye to Qin Long on the mountaintop.

Qin Long played with her hair and looked down. She saw the clouds parting, and Pandora flapped her bat wings, taking that person far away.
