Shen Yanxiao knew that Xiu must have detected that demon’s presence. However, he did not tell her to leave. Instead, he told her to wait and observe.

Even though she did not know what he had planned, Shen Yanxiao trusted her ally. She believed that Xiu would not harm her intentionally, and he would even follow her to the netherworld if she were to die.

With that in mind, Shen Yanxiao was not afraid of that high-level demon.

Her eyes were as calm as water without ripples, and she did not even bother to conceal her intention when she assessed the demon that was supposed to be one of the most powerful beings amongst the demonic beasts.

The monstrous young man looked at that little kid in surprise.

Even if the kid was mentally deficient, she could not have been that calm, right? Did she not see his oddly-colored eyes?

The low-level demons nearby seemed to have sensed that something was amiss, and they had stopped their feasting. Then they rushed toward her at high speed.

They roared with their bloodied mouth, and they exposed their razor-sharp teeth as they dashed toward the tree.

They had sensed it. The demons had sensed the strange, powerful energy that was there, and it was a temptation for them.

The first demons to reach the tree had to welcome a nightmare instead.

When they approached the huge tree trunk, the monstrous young man threw them an irritated look as he stood on the tree branch. With Shen Yanxiao trapped in his embrace, he released a low but frightening roar at the group of restless demons.

His roar did not sound like a beast’s cry, but those who heard it would still feel the chill all over their body. After that roar, an invisible force spread throughout the young man’s surrounding area.

The force knocked those low-level demons against the trees in an instant. Then they wailed as they fell onto the ground. However, none of those demons dared to move after that. Their bodies could only tremble as they curled and crawled on the ground. It looked as though they had encountered something so frightening that their previous ferocity and savageness had disappeared entirely. They looked like quails that had been shocked out of their wits.

The monstrous young man looked at those frightened low-level demons with satisfaction. Then, he reached out to poke Shen Yanxiao’s face with his finger.

He was only there for a leisure stroll; he did not care for the humans that his fellow demons had been devouring. Even if those were only meant to fill his stomach, he would still find them hard to swallow. He had not expected to discover an interesting human there. She did not only watch the scene where the demons consumed those humans with an unflinching expression, but she was also very calm when she saw him. That was an intriguing situation.

He had noticed it when he approached Shen Yanxiao. She had an enticing scent on her. Even though it was somewhat concealed with the help of some items, it did not escape the sensitive sense of smell that a high-level demon would have. That fragrant scent was a delicacy amongst humans.

If one were to ignore her unusual behavior, the demons would still go crazy over her scent.

To a certain extent, it was the fragrant scent that had attracted the attention of that monstrous young man.

“Little kid, why is there such a lovely scent on you? I’ve not smelled such a delicious human for a very long time.” The young man greedily took a few sniffs at the crook of her neck.
