Bai Luoer was also awoken by the cheers, she rushed into Leng Lingqi's embrace and said, "Big sister, this is great! Luo'er knew that you would definitely wake up."

Leng Lingqi's heart was moved.

Just as he was getting excited, Tian Li's figure suddenly appeared at the door, and Leng Lingqi stared straight at Tian Li's direction.

Tian Li's heart ached. How could he be willing to come back at this time? "Since you are in danger, why don't you use the protective talisman I gave you?"

"You have your own business, don't you, or you wouldn't have left in such a hurry. I used to rely on you more or less, but after this, I found I could be alone. " Leng Lingqi did not deny her own growth.

However, when he heard those words, it was a different story. "But this situation is best not to occur again. Even if you make another breakthrough, it will not be able to offset the pain you've gone through. Do you understand?"

Leng Lingqi nodded, he knew that Tian Li was concerned about her, and at the same time, was blaming him for not being able to appear at the critical moment.

After Leng Lingqi woke up, her mental state had recovered very quickly. This made everyone in the room extremely happy, but Tian Li and Leng Lingqi did not feel happy at all.

After Tian Li returned, he left the city at night.

From time to time, the forest echoed with the cries of some unknown magical beast, creating a gloomy and terrifying scene.

But Li Xuntian was not even the least bit afraid. He only cared about the array of footsteps that was getting clearer and clearer.

"Young Devil Lord came back really fast!" Xuan Ling's smile was like a flower, as though she did not care about what she did before.

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Ling suddenly flew backwards as if he had received a heavy blow, and crashed into a tree trunk.

"Looks like the relationship between the Young Devil Lord and that woman was indeed as the rumors had described." Even though Xuan Ling had received a heavy blow, his mouth was still unwilling to speak words of begging for forgiveness.

Li Xuntian's face was ashen, if not for the Demon Lord's orders to not touch her, he would have killed her already.

"Are you able to worry about this sovereign's matters? The Demon Lord has already ordered for you to return to the Demon Palace immediately. " Li Xuntian threw the Demon Lord's handwritten order in front of Xuan Ling.

When Xuan Ling saw it, her face flushed red, "We're about to succeed, why did you summon me back to the palace?" Xuan Ling muttered.

"Scram back to the Demon Palace. I will take care of the rest myself." Li Xuntian said in an ice-cold voice.

Xuan Ling looked at the overseer, her eyes filled with resentment and the gaze she used to look at the overseer seemed to be looking at Leng Lingqi.

"Still not leaving? If I regret it, you won't be able to live past tonight! " Li Xuntian could naturally see the viciousness in her eyes and wished very much that he could kill this woman immediately.

Xuan Ling knew that Li Xuntian's anger was not a lie. If he did not leave now, he might really lose his life.

Li Xuntian's eyes flashed with hatred, he looked in the direction Xuan Ling left for a long time before he finally left.

Inside the dilapidated courtyard, Leng Lingqi was still worried about her future path. At this time, the unicorn was at the side advising her.

"After this battle, I am no longer as confident as I was before. I can live without fear of death, but my family and friends can't." Leng Lingqi thought about how she was not able to save him in time even when they were fighting in the nick of time, and felt a lingering fear in her heart.

The unicorn recalled, but just as Leng Lingqi said, "Yes, if it wasn't for Bai Luoer, I'm afraid that we would all be crippled even if we didn't die."

"People who covet secret treasures can't guarantee that they won't set their sights on my family and friends, and I can't protect them properly with my ability. If this goes on, I'm afraid something even more terrifying will happen." Leng Lingqi voiced out her worries.

"But the question is, how can I prevent that from happening again?" Although Leng Lingqi knew that she couldn't continue like this, she didn't have any clue as to how she should proceed.

The unicorn's face was solemn, "If you want to end this fight, you have to hand over the treasure or kill the person who stole it."

Leng Lingqi felt that the unicorn's reply was meaningless. First of all, the secret treasure had already become one with her, if she wanted to hand over the secret treasure, she would have to die.

As for killing the person who stole the secret treasure, with her current ability, it was just wishful thinking. After all, there was always someone more powerful than her. There was always someone more powerful than her.

Who knew what the next person to snatch the secret treasure was, how could she be so lucky?

"There is another way," the unicorn paused, "and that is for you to die."

Leng Lingqi was shocked, "I'm dead?"

"Right, if you're dead, who would still think of stealing your things? There's even less of a need to hurt the people around you." The unicorn voiced its thoughts.

Leng Lingqi naturally understood that the One-horned Beast didn't really want her to die. It just wanted everyone to think that she had died, so in the future, this kind of danger could be avoided.

"Good idea, but how?" Leng Lingqi fell into deep thought, and this became a new problem.

Li Xuntian, who had just returned from the forest, just happened to catch up with their conversation.

Li Xuntian's figure slowly appeared from the darkness, "If you really want to 'die', then this sovereign would be willing to help you." Li Xuntian's voice suddenly sounded, startling the unicorn.

"Can't you just show up normally? "He's almost scared to death." The unicorn grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Li Xuntian didn't care about the unicorn's reaction and walked straight towards Leng Lingqi.

Leng Lingqi didn't have any reaction. Towards this mysterious man, he was really unable to fathom, but one thing was, up until now, he had never done anything that would truly harm her, other than the ugly mark on his face.
