“Wutian!” The little girl ran over.

Little Tian’s heart skipped a beat. It felt nothing amiss at a distance. But once getting close up, it discovered that this fire-red young man seemed like a stranger to him. So it got ready for any eventuality and would knock him out in case something happened.

“Don’t go there, little girl.” A teenager hiding in the bush stopped her by pulling at her dress.

“What’s the matter? Why are you afraid of him? He is not a bad guy,” the little girl explained.

The teenager’s face twitched. He kicked himself for being stupid and overly worried; Wutian went mad only because the little girl was bullied.

“Quickly talk to him. Don’t let him keep going like this anymore. He isn’t allowing us to pass!” The teenager pleaded and cried.

“Right, do it now. Otherwise, he is going to destroy everything around here,” said another person.

“Don’t be worried. My brother is very kind.” The two almost wanted to roll their eyes. He was kind? If he was kind, there would be no demon in this world.

“Help!”

A fourteen- or fifteen-year-old ran and occasionally looked back. His cultivation base was weak, and he did not know how to swim. What was more, he stayed in one of the Yellow Houses, which now had been destroyed. He had nowhere to hide and could only flee from the lakeside.

“Stop it, Wutian!” The little girl spread out her hands and stood behind the teenager. There was a light in her eyes as she muttered.

Thud!

A fist came. The teenager spun around, grabbed the little girl and rolled to one side, dodging the attack. The fist missed and hit the ground, sending the gravel flying in all directions.

“Stop!” Wutian roared, but there was no sound. He had no control over his body and attacked Shishi. He wanted to drive out the mysterious power and get the control. But he did not know where to begin.

“What happens, Wutian? You devil, leave my brother’s body!” The little girl was apparently shocked. But she knew Wutian did not mean it. It was the thing hiding inside him that did that.

Wutian’s body did not respond to his command. As his hand struck down, Wutian was desperate. If this palm of his hit her, she would be severely wounded, if not die.

“Caw!”

Little Tian’s body glowed in a black light. It lunged up and collided with the first with a boom. It wailed and was sent flying out several thousand feet away before falling into the lake.

“Stop!” Wutian roared. But it was useless. The little girl’s dress fluttered from the blast of his fist. Her eyes welled up and tears flowed down her cheeks, pleading for the devil to leave Wutian’s body.

“Aah! Get out!”

Wutian was desperate. He had promised to take care of Shishi for life. Yet, he was going to be the person who killed her.

All of a sudden, a milky light shot out of his forehead, shrouding his body. His fist stopped, hair rapidly returning to black from red. The same thing happened to his skin, the natural color of which returned. At last, his eyes became black again, as if a pair of shiny black jades.

Thud!

He dropped down on his knees. As if he was the one starting the fight earlier, he went weak at the knees. At last, he clambered to his feet. Staggering up to the little girl, he drew her in his arms. He was scared to death.

“I am sorry, Shishi. I almost killed you.” Wutian apologized and felt incredibly guilty.

“I don’t blame you, Wutian. It was that devil that controlled you.” Her tears stopped as she let out a bright smile.

Little Tian jumped out of the water, baring its teeth in anger and displeasure. It pointed at its bleeding abdomen, made a few gestures, which basically meant ‘You have got to compensate me for the damage and injury.’

“Let’s get back inside first.” Wutian was very weak, feeling dizzy and his vision blurry. He must not stay here any longer. Otherwise, those whom he had offended earlier would come after him.

“I am sorry, everyone.” He just apologized but did not explain himself. Once back inside the house, he shut the door.

“Phew! It has finally ended!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Had the scuffle continued, the entire Zhao family residence could have been torn down.

“He is really terrifying. We cannot afford to aggravate him next time.” They were blacklisting Wutian and would avoid him like a plague.

“I’m tired to death! I didn’t expect he could be this ferocious.”

The young man in purple lay by the lakeside and took a deep breath. It was luck that no one was hurt. Things arose because of him. He could have hardly absolved himself from the blame if any untoward things happened.

“Eh?”

The young man fished out a purple emblem. The palm-sized emblem had a character engraved on it, but it was too blurry to see clearly. He looked at the emblem and was transfixed, then broke out in a sinister smile.

“Interesting! It is you.”

His smile was evil. He rose to his feet and walked toward the front courtyard. He needed to clean up the mess that he had left behind.

“I was scared to death just now, Wutian!” Inside the house, Shishi patted herself on the chest, visibly still in fear. Yet she looked adorable.

“Ow…” Yi looked up with a puzzled expression in its eyes.

“Yi asks what that devil is and why it was inside you, Wutian.” The little girl explained.

“Caw, caw!” Little Tian appeared not very friendly. It was baring its fangs and waving its claws.
