Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 596 The Method to Leave the Valley of Sound

"Oh, you're done with your work?"

Following the source of the firelight, Hun Ruoruo quickly found Xiao Yan. Ignoring his dirty clothes, she snuggled into his arms and used a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, showing her virtuous nature.

Mo Yi stormed off in a huff, kicking a pebble aside.

Watching the other person's dejected figure, Xiao Yan shook his head with a slight chuckle and whispered, "Why did you have to tease him like that?"

"It's because this guy keeps thinking about the girls from our Anmai. The whole girls' community has heard about it."

Hun Ruoruo snorted irritably, "It's one thing to covet other girls, but you're always trying to corrupt them. Do you really think this young master of the valley has no temper?"

She is a formidable and powerful witch of the Soul Clan, a ruthless killer with countless dead under her command. She is nothing like the naive lambs of Heyin Valley. It is already an honor for them to play house with her here!
Xiao Yan understood the girl's unspoken meaning, his gaze softened, and he gently stroked her hair: "You didn't like it here before, how come you've changed your mind now?"

"You already know, so why are you asking me?"

Hun Ruoruo lowered her eyes and said, "I didn't like it here before because it was too fake and unreal. I don't like to waste my feelings on people or things that are not real. After all, I am already real enough."

"My heart is small and can't hold too much space. It's enough to hold the people around me. I don't have that much pity to give to others."

“But you still chose to accept your own bloodline instead of becoming the young master of the Sound Valley,” Xiao Yan said softly.

"Even with the bloodline of the Soul Clan, I can still become the young master of the Sound Valley."

Hun Ruoruo gazed at the young man with her watery eyes and said lazily, "Mother only told me to make a choice, but she never said it was a choice between two options. I can have both or nothing."

"Wouldn't you call this taking advantage of a loophole?" Xiao Yan suddenly laughed.

Hun Ruoruo curled her lips, looking disdainful: "Speaking of taking advantage of loopholes, this young master of the valley is no match for someone else. He took advantage of the fact that my soul was damaged and then pestered me to go to the academy to play house with him. Your methods of picking up girls are probably not much better than Mo Yi's."

After saying that, the girl pulled away from Xiao Yan's embrace, pinched her nose in disgust, and turned away.
"You smelled awful, all sweaty."

"Hey, Ruoruo, how can you turn your back on me like this?"

Xiao Yan was mortified. This vixen had been so tender and affectionate in his arms just moments before, but now, she had changed her attitude the moment she finished confiding her feelings. Did she think he was her dumping ground?
However, just as Xiao Yan reached out to hook Hun Ruoruo's shoulder, the girl, who had been facing away from him, suddenly turned around and found herself holding a bowl and chopsticks.

A sly glint in her eyes, she picked up a glistening piece of meat and stuffed it into Xiao Yan's mouth: "Try it, I made it!"

"Doesn't it smell much better now?" The girl smiled broadly, as if her previous disdain had never existed.

The rich aroma of meat filled his tongue, and the depletion of his qi and blood, coupled with his previous fatigue, caused Xiao Yan's stomach to rumble involuntarily, and his mouth to secrete saliva uncontrollably.

"Mmm." Xiao Yan blushed and his heart pounded, but he forgot to chew and swallowed the piece of meat whole.

So hot.

But it smells so good.

The Harvest Festival proceeded as scheduled, and Hun Ruoruo and Xiao Yan, as the greatest contributors to saving the Sound Valley, naturally received the most attention. Disciples frequently brought them wine and food, their enthusiasm overflowing.

Faced with the disciples' enthusiastic attitude, even Xiao Yan, with his personality, couldn't help but feel somewhat moved. He was forced to drink several cups of strong liquor with the most enthusiastic ones, without using his fighting spirit to neutralize the alcohol.

Hun Ruoruo, however, refused to drink alcohol, only drinking juice and sitting at the table with the children.

As time went on, everyone got quite drunk, and they all rolled up their sleeves and took out their best tricks, gathering around the campfire.

When it comes to the tricks that Yin Gu is best at, it is naturally inseparable from the way of music. Some people take out harps, some take out gongs and drums, and even the women are not to be outdone. Seeing that the smell of wine on their breath has not yet dissipated, they simply abandon playing instruments and sing with their clear and melodious voices.

Some girls, emboldened by alcohol, boldly shouted at the quietest girl, Hun Ruoruo, to join in. Soon, more and more people echoed, gradually filling the entire square.

As the young master of the Sound Valley, how can he not show his musical talent?
But Hun Ruoruo doesn't know anything about music. Her best tricks are killing and bewitching people, but she can't show any of them. If she does, someone will die.

The girl eventually couldn't bear it and left the square under some pretext.

The moon is like a plate, and the stars are like rain.

At the summit of the mountain, Hun Ruoruo looked down upon the entire Yin Valley. The orange-red bonfire illuminated the starry sea in her eyes.

"What a strange bunch of people."

Hun Ruoruo rested her snowy cheek on her hand, gazing quietly at the people below. The people singing and dancing looked like tiny, fragile black ants.

"Yes, they are a strange bunch."

The girl trembled at the words of agreement she heard beside her, and turned to look at them, asking, "Why are you here?"

A rustling sound rang out, and a figure dressed in black emerged from the bushes behind him. He smelled slightly of alcohol, but his eyes showed no signs of drunkenness. It was none other than Xiao Yan.

"When my senior sister saw you leave the square, she called me over." Xiao Yan picked up a blade of grass and squatted down next to the girl. "Drinking is definitely not a good habit. No wonder you refused to drink."

He couldn't even keep an eye on his own daughter who ran away; the saying "drinking leads to trouble" is truly no exaggeration.

Hun Ruoruo glanced to the side: "There are other reasons why I don't drink."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

"Don't tell you."

"."

Seeing Xiao Yan's choked expression, Hun Ruoruo couldn't help but chuckle, then turned her head and said softly, "We should go."

Xiao Yan suddenly stopped moving. After a long while, he sighed with some complicated feelings: "Yes, it's time to go."

Although the destruction of Sound Valley has been averted, a dream is still a dream. Even though the people here possess vivid emotions and exist so realistically, they are destined not to stay here for long.

There are still ringleaders who have not been eliminated.

"Do you know what the so-called third treasure is, the last thing we need to leave the Valley of Sound?" Hun Ruoruo asked, cupping her face in her hands.

"If it's an adventure game, I'd guess it's about enemy heads?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said half-jokingly, "When we were little, my eldest and second eldest brothers would play this with me. My second eldest brother was always unhappy because my eldest brother would always take advantage of his age to force him to be the enemy. Every time we played, he had to pretend that I chopped off his head."

Looking at the girl's increasingly radiant smile, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised: "Really?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I didn't kill that Venerable Qinghai sooner?"

The girl suddenly stood up, her back to the moonlight, with rows of houses lit by candlelight behind her. The once noisy valley gradually quieted down until all was silent.

“There are things more precious than his life, aren’t there?” Hun Ruoruo said with a smile.
