Xiao Ye also believed that someone of Zuo Wang's caliber wouldn't go back on his word.
Besides, Zuo Wang couldn't defeat him now.
Xiao Ye, carrying Xiao Xi, leaped down lightly.
Zuo Wang, in pain, transformed into his human form, clutching his ear and hopping around frantically.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..."
Xiao Ye's attention was fixed on Zuo Wang, wanting to confirm if the latter still harbored any rebellious thoughts.
After examining his injuries, Zuo Wang looked at Xiao Ye with resignation, "King Xiao, I'll follow you from now on, right? I'll bring all the resources from my territory back for you."
Seeing Zuo Wang being so sensible, Xiao Ye nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Zuo Wang beckoned to his subordinates around him, noticing them approach with trembling steps.
"From now on, we are all King Xiao's people. You will carry the food over later."
Zuo Wang remembered the slaves he had captured and said to Xiao Ye, "My lair still has quite a few slaves. How do you plan to deal with them?"
Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, then said, "Take them all to the City of God Slayers."
Those who could be of use to Xiao Ye would naturally be used by him.
Most of Zuo Wang's slaves were impoverished humans. Xiao Ye remembered those dark, oppressive years.
Suddenly.
Xiao Ye saw Li Suiwen and the others nearby, and a dark, bloody glint flashed in his eyes.
"Little Zuo, your territory is quite lively, attracting those little riffraff from the Alliance."
Zuo Wang heard Xiao Ye's icy tone and was suddenly stunned.
Little Zuo?
Xiao Ye was truly taking on the role of a master, giving him such an affectionate nickname!
Zuo Wang suppressed his inner unwillingness and turned to look as Xiao Ye commanded.
It was time for him to offer his first act of loyalty.
Zuo Wang saw Li Suiwen, his face filled with fear, and his black flames flew over directly.
Li Suiwen and his group desperately resisted the black flames. Upon seeing Xiao Ye's gaze, they felt a chilling dread.
"Xiao Ye, you can't kill us..."
"Why can't I kill you?"
Seeing their panicked, pale faces, Xiao Ye curved his lips into a sinister smile, "All my enemies deserve to die."
Li Suiwen and the others were terrified and only wanted to escape.
However, they were too late.
Zuo Wang transformed into a monstrous creature resembling a horse and a dragon, roaring terrifyingly at Li Suiwen and his group.
Black flames ignited on Li Suiwen and the others.
Run quickly.
Li Suiwen and the others felt terror and fled rapidly in a certain direction.
The black flames were like a soul-devouring pain. Li Suiwen and the others screamed as they ran.
Xiao Ye watched with amusement, observing the desperate expressions on Li Suiwen's faces.
Li Suiwen and the others frantically fell to their knees, begging Xiao Ye to spare them.
Xiao Ye asked, "Did you deliver the message I asked you to pass on earlier?"
When Li Suiwen and the others heard Xiao Ye speak, they nodded repeatedly in fear.
"That's enough, you have no further value."
Xiao Ye's voice lost its warmth.
The next second.
Zuo Wang's terrifying head descended, and before their despairing eyes.
He opened his massive maw and swallowed Li Suiwen and the others.
One by one.
Damn, it tasted so good.
Zuo Wang patted his belly with satisfaction when he suddenly felt a sacred attack flying towards him.
He flapped his wings, dark clouds gathering overhead.
Zuo Wang saw Ye Qingrou's figure, her pretty face cold and emotionless.
Ye Qingrou used all her strength, aiming to strike down Zuo Wang.
"You dare not harm Brother Xiao!"
Ye Qingrou's beautiful eyes fell on Xiao Ye, seeing the girl he was holding.
She felt a slight pang of heartache.
However, facing the terrifying monster, Ye Qingrou had personally witnessed him devour Li Suiwen.
Therefore, it was possible he could devour Xiao Ye. Ye Qingrou didn't understand what had happened.
She attacked Zuo Wang.
Upon seeing Ye Qingrou, Zuo Wang immediately cursed, "You annoying female war god, you want to kill me too?"
Ye Qingrou saw Zuo Wang swaggering over to Xiao Ye.
Zuo Wang appeared incredibly respectful when facing Xiao Ye.
Ye Qingrou became somewhat bewildered. She saw Xiao Ye standing tall and powerful amidst the pile of corpses.
His gaze indifferently swept over Ye Qingrou, making it seem as though Xiao Ye was the master of this situation.
It took Ye Qingrou a long time to react. She stared blankly at Xiao Ye.
"Brother Xiao..."
Seeing Ye Qingrou rush forward excitedly, Xiao Ye's dark energy surged into her body.
Ye Qingrou immediately turned pale with pain.
However, she didn't give up and continued to advance towards Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye's dark eyes remained unfathomable. He said gravely, "If you come any closer, you will die."
Ye Qingrou saw him holding Xiao Xi and immediately jumped onto Zuo Wang's back.
Zuo Wang flapped his wings, about to soar into the heavens.
Ye Qingrou sadly unleashed her power, blocking Xiao Ye's path.
"Brother Xiao, don't go, please..."
Heaven knew how much she missed Xiao Ye. Ye Qingrou's eyes were full of Xiao Ye.
Ye Qingrou pleaded with Xiao Ye, saying, "I won't be your enemy. I just want to atone for what I owe you."
"Can you atone?"
Xiao Ye sat on Zuo Wang's back, looking calmly at Ye Qingrou.
Ye Qingrou nodded firmly at Xiao Ye, "I was wrong before, and I will do my best to make amends."
She wanted to show Xiao Ye how strong Xiao Qingrou's resolve was.
"I will repay all your sacrifices with my actions."
Ye Qingrou's beautiful eyes flickered with fervent hope. She walked step by step closer to Xiao Ye.
Seeing that Xiao Ye was no longer hurting her with his dark energy, Ye Qingrou couldn't help but rejoice.
"Moreover, I know Brother Xiao, you just don't remember me..."
You don't remember how much you loved Xiao Qingrou in the cycle of reincarnation.
Otherwise, you definitely would...
Xiao Ye looked at Ye Qingrou silently and then suddenly spoke, "Ye Qingrou, have you ever heard the saying 'spilt milk can't be gathered'? The Xiao Ye who loved you with his life in reincarnation is gone forever..."
"Brother Xiao!"
Ye Qingrou's voice trembled with disbelief. Her eyes widened, "You remember Xiao Qingrou?"
"I haven't forgotten. I've never forgotten."
"Xiao Qingrou, I remember everything you did to me."
Xiao Ye pulled his collar down slightly, revealing a winding scar.
"After I emerged from reincarnation, the mark you left on me with your knife has not disappeared yet."
Xiao Ye could have made the scar disappear, but he remembered how ferociously Ye Qingrou and the others had tried to kill him.
He would never forget being imprisoned in the perpetually dark Alliance prison.
The female war gods had their jailers force-feed him dead rats.
After Xiao Ye's hand and foot tendons were severed, they wanted to inject experimental gases into him.
The days leading up to his sentencing felt as long as a century.
Ye Qingrou also remembered Xiao Ye's numb eyes at that time. She just wanted to subconsciously escape.
Subconsciously wishing she hadn't wronged Xiao Ye so much.
"How can I redeem myself so that Brother Xiao doesn't dislike Xiao Qingrou?"
Ye Qingrou asked blankly. So Xiao Ye remembered everything.
His memories hadn't been deleted, and he remembered all her mistakes.
He just disliked her now.
Xiao Ye smiled, "Since you want to atone, how about I help you with that?"
"What?"
Under Ye Qingrou's sorrowful gaze, Xiao Ye abruptly slapped Zuo Wang.
The demonic black energy within Zuo Wang was forcibly drawn out.
"What the hell!" You're not human.
Xiao Ye's gaze was cold as he infused a palm of black energy into Ye Qingrou's body.
