Chapter 72: Eat You First

What's going on inside?

Kedi paced back and forth in front of the house, his face full of anxiety.

He would occasionally crouch, or stand on a grass mound nearby, trying to peek through the window for any sign of what was happening inside.

But all the windows inside the house were sealed shut; all he could see was pitch blackness, nothing visible.

His plan came to nothing.

Whether he lay on the door or on the ground, trying to hear any sound, he heard nothing.

It was as if AiHuade and the others had never entered at all!

Kedi clutched his head, not knowing what to do.

He squatted at the courtyard gate, gripping a cross in his hand, silently praying.

He prayed that they would return safely.

If they were dead.........

"Excuse me, could you move aside?"

"Huh?!"

A voice from behind made Kedi jump to his feet, drawing a dagger from his waist:

"Who?!"

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you. My name is Yu Lin."

Clang.

Seeing the Asian-faced young man before him, especially when he gave his name, Kedi's dagger slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

It struck the stone slab, making a clear sound.

"Are... are you a Saint?"

"The Saint chosen by the Lord in Da Xia?!"

Yu Lin raised an eyebrow: "Maybe."

"Then can you move aside now?"

"Yes." Kedi quickly stepped aside, watching Yu Lin walk toward the house, he followed, saying:

"Honored Saint, what's inside..........."

Yu Lin listened to his report, merely nodding without answering, until they reached the doorway, where he turned his head to Kedi and said:

"Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Ah? You..........."

Kedi opened his mouth to say something, but the next moment.

All he heard was a "Bang!"

The wooden door that looked solid was kicked open by Yu Lin!

"You're surrounded by me! Come out!"

As a baron‑rank demon under the King of Hell, Satan,

Ai Meng Ni Si's favorite thing is to toy with the emotions of the weak, deceiving their thoughts.

What could be more fun than forcing them to face what they most dread? What could be more amusing than giving them a clue, only to overturn everything when they think they have the answer?

Looking at AiHuade and the two others lying on the ground,

The girl possessed by Ai Meng Ni Si curled her lips slightly; with each breath she absorbed the reek of despair and fear emanating from them.

She savored it—delicious!

"Your Majesty, letting me come to the Human World was truly the right choice!"

"It's just a shame these guys showed up so fast; we have to change locations."

"Let's have a big feast before heading back to Hell!"

Ai Meng Ni Si opened her eyes, walked toward the three, about to reach out and take their souls.

Suddenly a loud boom came from below, followed by a great shout:

"You're surrounded by me! Come out!"

"Huh?" Ai Meng Ni Si frowned, waving a hand:

"Go see what's happening and bring them up."

Behind her, the Luen Couple hurried to the stairs and went down.

Their souls had already been devoured clean; in their place were two mid‑rank demons it had brought from Hell.

Although they were only mid‑rank, they could still——

Bang!

Bang!

A deafening roar erupted as the floor exploded!

The Luen Couple's bodies were flung like ragdolls by a tremendous force, blasting through the ceiling and shooting into the night sky!

The next second they fell back down even faster, smashing hard beside Ai Meng Ni Si, the sound of breaking bones clearly audible!

Ai Meng Ni Si's pupils contracted sharply.

Something's wrong!

It felt it—a chilling aura that made its very soul tremble, rising from the floor below.

That aura made it feel as if it were facing the deepest terror of Hell—its Majesty, Satan!

"We'll die........"

"We will definitely die......"

Ai Meng Ni Si trembled all over, instinctively screaming wildly to make it flee.

But its legs felt as if filled with lead, unable to move!

Tap, tap, tap......

Footsteps came from the stairs, neither hurried nor slow, yet like a death-bell urging doom, each sound heavily striking Ai Meng Ni Si's heart.

Finally, a black-haired young man appeared at the stairwell. He wore simple casual clothes, hands in pockets, a lazy smile on his lips, as if just a neighbor dropping by.

"Hello." Yu Lin waved at it and grinned.

"............" Ai Meng Ni Si remained silent—not because it didn't want to say harsh words now, but because it simply couldn't open its mouth!

Thus it watched helplessly as the seemingly harmless young man walked over and crouched down.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

He raised his hand, slapped each of them, and flung the three of AiHuade out of the endless nightmare!

At that moment, Ai Meng Ni Si realized it could open its mouth, and its first words were:

"Who the hell are you?!"

Without waiting for Yu Lin's answer, the awakened AiHuade trio, upon seeing his face clearly, disregarded their weakness and immediately rose to salute him, saying:

"In the name of the Holy Father, Holy Son, and Holy Spirit, peace be with you, Saint Yu Lin."

"...... Saint Yu Lin?!"

Ai Meng Ni Si cried out, instinctively wanting to flee back to Hell, but just as the thought arose, its Majesty's voice sounded in its ears:

"Ai Meng Ni Si, you must kill him."

".........."

"I strike the Saint?"

"Seriously?"

"Don't even mention him being a Baron; even if a Count or Duke came, they might not necessarily be able to kill him!"

Ai Meng Ni Si's heart was definitely a hundred unwilling, but it also dared not defy Satan's command, which was equally a dead end!

"So what should we do?"

"Just as its mind was about to explode, Satan's voice sounded again:"

"I will grant you a Blessing."

"At the moment Satan's words fell——a Magic Array appeared!"

Boom!

A surge of Frenzy dark power surged from the Magic Array, flooding into Ai Meng Ni Si's body like a tide!

Its body began to twist and swell, skin cracking inch by inch, revealing the writhing flesh beneath.

Originally slender maiden's form ballooned to three meters tall; with a "rip" sound, two bloody gashes tore open on its back, and a pair of black bone wings unfurled!

"Ah——!!"

Ai Meng Ni Si raised its head and let out an inhuman howl; the Viscount-level aura swept over the entire room like a tsunami.

The Magic Array on the floor glowed crimson, completely enveloping Yu Lin and the others——

The aura of God vanished!

"Hahaha!" Ai Meng Ni Si sneered, its voice grating like metal on metal:

"Now there is no Divine Protection........."

It raised its hand, pointing its claws at Yu Lin: "You!"

"I can feel that your soul is the most delicious, so."

"I will eat you first!"
