Chapter 573: Sir

There were two other friends on the same boat as Hua Xiyin.

They are also Mei Hong's acquaintances: Shadow Cult leader Zhang Yanyan, and Shadow Priest Xuan Zhiyi who also serves as his personal bodyguard, maid and girlfriend.

Zhang Yanyan is a black-haired human man.

And Xuan Zhiyi is a winged man with short white hair who comes from the Sky City. Because of its homophonic pronunciation, it is nicknamed "rice paper".

Every time Hua Xiyin sees her, Xuan Zhi is wrapped in a black hooded cloak - she has the ability to summon a shadow cloak, so she can use it to cover her body even if she doesn't have a physical cloak.

When wearing the physical cloak, the shadow cloak will blend with it to enhance performance.

Winged people usually wear backless clothing and avoid clothing that covers their backs, such as cloaks. So that it will not be covered when you want to summon the wings.

Xuan Zhiyi wears a cloak, partly because she can counter-summon it at any time.

On the one hand, it is because she rarely summons wings like ordinary winged people.

She comes from the city in the sky suspended high in the sky over China, which was closed for hundreds of years because of a curse that broke out on the land of China against the Winged People.

Xuan Zhiyi was active in the human world at that time, guarding and managing a huge white tower called the "Piaomiao Tower" built by Yi Ren in the human world.

It is the Yiren ruins introduced at great length in the classic work "Cang Tian Piaomiao Lu" which records the wonders and secrets of the land of China. It is still used as a tourist attraction in Qianying City and is open to tourists as a restaurant.

At that time, Xuan Zhiyi, as the tower keeper, had to go through some procedures and hand over the tower to humans to manage it, but was unable to turn back in time.

Although Xuan Zhiyi later returned to her hometown, she was exiled from her home by her compatriots because she was infected with the curse. The curse prevented her from summoning the white wings of the Wing Man and she almost lost all her spiritual power. Not only did it cause tremendous pain, it also devoured her sanity.

In the end, Xuan Zhiyi couldn't bear the torture and decided to commit suicide. Because she heard that there was a place called the "Abyss" and that if you jumped from the cliff, you would fall forever, so she went there to end her life.

Yiren actually fell to his death, which seemed extremely ironic to her. The reason why Xuan Zhiyi wanted to jump from there was partly because she had a self-deprecating and sad attitude, and partly because she missed the feeling of falling from a high altitude.

The only difference is that before, she could spread her wings and fly in the sky at any time.

Now, I can only fall, fall forever...

...but she did not die after jumping into the bottomless abyss.

And it is not bottomless at all, just very deep.

She didn't know how long she had been falling, but she finally saw a dark creature with many eyeballs and tentacles sitting at the bottom of the pit.

It gently caught Xuan Zhiyi with its tentacles, sent her back to the land, touched her head, and said a few words in her mind in a language she didn't understand.

...As if telling her to live well.

Xuan Zhiyi was already prepared to be eaten, but being treated so tenderly made her realize that she should cherish life and live well.

Eventually, she gradually adapted to the curse during the long period of torture. After it gradually subsided, Xuan Zhiyi even regained her spiritual power and wings: but she could only cast shadow spells, and her wings changed from the white wings of a normal winged person to black wings.

Although each time you summon Black Wings, you will temporarily gain powerful power, but the duration is too short and cannot be used frequently.

Once the duration of the black wings ends, the blood in the body can only be consumed to maintain its existence. The cost is huge.

Therefore, she still cannot fly at will like a normal winged person.

Yiren's instinctive longing for the sky is the pain that will always be buried in her heart.

But fortunately, she doesn't care as much as she used to.

Because a few years ago, she met Zhang Yanyan. He is the reincarnation of the evil god who saved her hundreds of years ago. Although he still has the body of an evil god and powerful strength, his strength is far less than that of his previous life.

In fact, although he was an evil god in his previous life, he subjectively did nothing bad.

He stayed in the abyss so quietly until he was killed by the righteous master of mankind - which happened shortly after he rescued Xuan Zhiyi.

But it’s not just that humans have done something wrong.

Because even if he has no malice and does nothing, his very existence will cause the spread of shadows, so humans must kill him.

The reincarnated Zhang Yanyan is not that strong, so as long as he doesn't lose control, it won't cause any problems.

But there are still some insiders who regard it as a threat.

In order to protect herself, Zhang Yanyan established her own sect: the Shadow Sect.

But he does not recruit believers, but only recruits some people who have no place to live, and people who agree with him and want to join this big family to become shadow priests.

The person does not need to have spiritual powers.

He will make a contract and give the power of the evil god to those who want to become shadow priests.

After hearing some rumors, Xuan Zhiyi found Zhang Yanyan and confirmed that his aura was consistent with that of the evil god back then, so she stayed with him very excitedly.

Xuan Zhi soon became Zhang Yanyan's personal maid and bodyguard due to her outstanding abilities in all aspects and her positive support for her master either explicitly or implicitly. Later, because of her deep trust, she began to manage the funds and personnel operations of the sect. , became the second in command.

Although she remembered who Zhang Yanyan was, Zhang Yanyan herself had no memory of her previous life.

Therefore, she has kept this secret deep in her heart. No one knows why she had such a high initial impression of Mr. Zhang Yanyan.

Everyone thought it was love at first sight.

In fact, it is a longing that spans hundreds of years.

At this time, Xuan Zhiyi was playing with her mobile phone with her head down.

Zhang Yanyan, on the other hand, was beside her, leaning on the fence and looking at the sea.

Zhang Yanyan looked at it and suddenly noticed a flying fish jumping out of the sea in the distance. She suddenly became excited and turned around to push Xuan Zhiyi's shoulder, wanting to remind her to take a look too.

Zhang Yanyan: "Xuan paper——"

Xuan Zhiyi: Turned her head and stood up on tiptoes, and quickly kissed her master's cheek.

Zhang Yanyan blushed, quickly retracted her body, and took a step to the side: "Hey! Why are you kissing me suddenly!"

"Because I felt that the adults wanted to kiss but were embarrassed to say so. So I took the initiative." Xuan Zhiyi said softly, with a serious expression, lowered her hood slightly, and approached Zhang Yanyan again: "My lord, don't you think there is something that has not been done?"

Zhang Yanyan: "Uh, is there any?"

Xuan Zhiyi: "Yes. If you are kissed by a cute girl, you should take the initiative to return the kiss."

Xuan Zhiyi: "Come, sir. Please use it."

Xuan Zhiyi stood on tiptoes again and pointed at her face.

Zhang Yanyan hesitated in shame, trying to excuse herself. However, Xuan Zhiyi was resolute, poked her face, and urged again.

"Here, here."
