His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 255 Chapter Chapter

The next day, when the door opened and the food-delivering devil came in again, Yun Ci, with dark circles under her eyes, struck up a conversation with him.

"What's your name?"

The intense mental stress kept Yun Ci awake all night.

The demon seemed somewhat surprised, as if it hadn't expected Yun Ci to speak to it.

He merely glanced at Yun Ci, his gaze as if Yun Ci were some rare and exotic creature.

But he didn't speak to Yun Ci, put down the food, turned around and left.

"..."

At noon, the door was opened again.

It was the same demon. When he came in carrying food, his eyes darted around as if searching for Yun Ci.

Upon noticing Yun Ci looking at him, he immediately looked away and placed the plate on the table without glancing at her.

Seeing the uneaten food on the table, Yun Ci tilted his head, seemingly puzzled as to why he wasn't eating such delicious food.

He picked up the food, ready to take it out.

Yun Ci, undeterred, continued speaking to him, "Am I going to be locked up here forever?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant.

Yun Ci looked down at the food he had brought. "Did you make this? It's really good."

As she spoke, Yun Ci blinked.

The tall, thin demon with dark skin shifted his gaze, his face turned forward, but his eyes remained fixed on Yun Ci until he closed the door and left.

As he closed the door, it was left a crack, and Yun Ci saw a pair of eyes watching him.

Snapped.

Upon realizing that Yun Ci had seen him, the demon quickly closed the door.

"Hey."

Yun Ci walked to the bedside and plopped down on it.

The demons locked him up but didn't kill him. They even fed him regularly. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was being imprisoned.

Was the food poisoned?

Thinking of this, Yun Ci got up to look at the plate of food.

It was black, had no smell, and you couldn't tell if it was poisoned.

Yun Ci looked up at the room.

He was stuck in the room, unable to leave, and no one spoke to him; even the sound of footsteps seemed desolate.

Yun Ci wondered when Hei Zi would come to see him again. He wondered if that idiot would be worried after he disappeared. He hoped the idiot was alright...

Unbeknownst to Yun Ci, he was already beginning to anticipate Hei Zi's return.

Yun Ci sat for a while, then pushed the door a few more times.

......

in the afternoon.

Kuroko opened the door and saw the person sleeping on the bed.

He closed the door, walked to the bedside, and slowly withdrew the menacing black energy from his body.

Yun Ci seemed extremely tired; a small bluish shadow appeared under her eyelids, which was very noticeable on her porcelain-white face.

Even in his sleep, he looked restless.

She was curled up, taking up only a small part of the bed, with her brows slightly furrowed.

While it evokes tenderness and makes one want to hold it in their arms, it also stirs up a strong urge to destroy within one's heart.

Hei Zi stared at her for an unknown amount of time, his eyes filled with a chilling possessiveness.

Never before has Kuroko felt so satisfied.

There were only two people: him and Yun Ci.

Yun Ci will live with him from now on.

If Yun Ci discovers he is a demon... he won't let Yun Ci go.

......

"Kuroko?!"

Yun Ci opened her eyes and saw Hei Zi by the bedside; a look of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes.

Hei Zi hummed in agreement, his dark eyes fixed on Yun Ci, then glancing at the cold rice beside him.

Why aren't you eating?

Yun Ci sat up, pouting, "I'm afraid those demons will poison me, and I have no appetite either."

Hei Zi didn't say anything.

Yun Ci continued, "Have those demons agreed to let you visit me again? It seems they trust you quite a bit. Why don't we find a chance to sneak away?"

Before we leave, we need to find Little White and Baby. Blackie, I'm really worried they might be in danger.

As she spoke, Yun Ci couldn't help but tear up.

Hei Zi gently comforted her, "They're in the spirit beast pouch, they won't be in danger, Yun Ci, don't worry."

Yun Ci nodded, but her expression remained forlorn.

He was enveloped by dense demonic energy, which permeated every part of him.

This made Yun Ci, who had been here for two days, realize more and more clearly that he was deep in the Demon Realm.

It wasn't in the Xuanyuan Sect, a place blessed with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy.

"Yun Ci, I'm here with you. I'll always be with you." Hei Zi's expression was very serious.

Hei Zi kept comforting Yun Ci, which gradually improved Yun Ci's mood.

When Hei Zi was about to leave, Yun Ci looked at him with reluctance, not wanting him to go.

......

Two more days passed, and Yun Ci had begun to look forward to Hei Zi's arrival every day.

I don't know why, but the food delivery demon never came back after that morning when he put out the food.

Kuroko was the only person he could see.

Hei Zi naturally enjoyed Yun Ci's dependence on him.

Yun Ci refused to eat the food offered by other demons, so he personally brought food to Yun Ci.

Three meals a day.

Every dish was prepared according to Yun Ci's taste.

If Yun Ci eats even one extra bite of any food, Hei Zi will prepare more for the next time.

Yun Ci only ate one bite and then stopped, so that food will not appear in front of Yun Ci again.

The demons of the demon realm have always been curious about the Demon King's youngest son, who has been missing for more than ten years. Now many demons know that the newly returned Tenth Prince has hidden a human in his palace!

Those are human beings!

Humans with fairer skin than them, who think too highly of themselves!

The only two humans in the Demon Realm!

He's said to be an inner disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect!

That's the Xuanyuan Sect, a major sect in the world!

......

Outside the Demon Realm, chaos had already broken out.

Let's rewind to the first day Yun Ci disappeared.

"Where is Yun Ci? Have you found Yun Ci?"

Chu Ziming rushed over, looking anxiously at the person who had returned.

The group of people in front of him shook their heads with heavy expressions.

Chu Ziming then ran to the next group, asking, "Have you found Yun Ci yet?"

He shook his head again with a heavy expression.

Chu Ziming asked each group one by one.

Lu Yi shook his head with a heavy expression.

No.

We've searched several kilometers around the Wisteria 'Flowing Light' area, but found nothing.

They found the disciples unconscious under the shimmering wisteria in the afternoon and immediately brought them all back.

I checked and found out that Yun Ci and a handyman disciple were missing.

Fearing that there might be demons lying in ambush nearby, causing even greater losses, the three senior uncles ordered all Golden Core stage disciples to search for them.

Chu Ziming clenched his fist and rushed towards the direction of the flowing wisteria.

He's going to go look for her again! He absolutely has to find Yun Ci!

"You're not allowed to go. It's already dark, and the nights here are only more dangerous than the days," Martial Uncle Wu Zhang said sternly.

Chu Ziming turned around and said, "If you're afraid of danger, then you don't need to go. I'll go by myself!"

They wanted their safety, but he wanted his Yun Ci.

"Nonsense!"

Uncle Wu Zhang swung out the Immortal Rope, and Chu Ziming's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he quickly dodged it.

However, no matter how talented Chu Ziming was, he was no match for Martial Uncle Wu Zhang, who was a Nascent Soul stage expert.

The three senior uncles were also anxious, but they really couldn't let Chu Zimo go.

Yun Ci's disappearance is a loss for the entire Xuanyuan Sect.

If they were truly captured by the demons of the demon realm, it would be a loss for the entire immortal realm.

They could no longer leave a close disciple in danger.

The best course of action now is to hurry back and inform the sect leader.
