And this time, she was on his side.

He thought he would never let Ji Yunhe out of that room again. He planned to keep her there until her last breath, and never give her another chance to betray him. But what was he doing now?

He brought her out and gave her his jiaozhu. If she were to stand with the other side, she could easily take his life again. But he did it anyway.<br><br>

"This may be the last time..."

She looked far into the sky beyond the wind and snow. Changyi understood her words and felt an ache inside his heart.

The look of Ji Yunhe near death, Changyi had seen it before, and had ached for it.

He denied and ignored his emotions in the past. But looking at Ji Yunhe's slightly sunken eyes, and the dry, pale lips he had kissed, his emotions surged and overwhelmed him.

"Ji Yunhe."

She turned her head to look at him, her dark eyes reflecting his silver hair dancing in the snow.

"If you promise to never betray me again, I will believe you." The snowstorm howled and whistled around them, but her world grew still.

Ji Yunhe stared blankly at Changyi. In his eyes, she had used him, betrayed him, and almost killed him. But now he was telling her that he still wanted to believe her...

Her lips trembled and she suppressed her emotions.

"Big-tailed fish, why are you still so naive... After all these years, you still dare to take a human promise seriously?"

Her words pricked at him like a needle, but he still said, "If you say it, I will believe it."

Ji Yunhe's hands were trembling so much inside her sleeves that she could barely hold on to the reins of her horse. Suddenly, the sound of ten thousand footsteps came rumbling, shaking the earth and breaking the atmosphere between them.

Ji Yunhe regained her grip, looked ahead and said, "Let's not talk about these things until we take care of business." The army of demon masters washed toward them like a tidal wave.

They stopped a hundred meters away from Ji Yunhe and Changyi. A few dozen men rode their horses and approached them. Some of them were familiar faces to Ji Yunhe, some of them were new, but they all looked fierce and full of animosity.

The courier demon, Siyu, was among them. She was Lin Haoqing's demon slave and was obviously more anxious than the others. She took the lead in lifting the reins of her horse and came up to Ji Yunhe.

"Just you two?"

Ji Yunhe said, "The Lord of the North has come in person. It's better than a thousand men."

The crowd looked at Changyi. He did not say a word, but the blue eyes and silver hair had long become a legend throughout the world. Many people here saw him for the first time, and turned their heads to whisper among each other. Changyi moved his horse forward a step and raised his voice.

"The north has no intention of being an enemy of the demon master tribe. If you retreat today, Valley Master Lin will be returned to the Demon Valley unharmed."

"How can we trust you? Hand over the Valley Master first!" A big burly man came forward from the crowd.

"There is also my brother, Jin Lu of the Demon Mountain. We can talk about the rest afterwards!"

This person's brother, Jin Lu, was the demon master captured by Changyi. He was the face of the Demon Mountain, and being taken so easily was extremely embarrassing for them.

"So you are from the Demon Mountain?" Ji Yunhe looked at the big man and asked with a smile.
