Are You Going to Sleep or Not

Azure Flame: "We didn't capture anyone."

"I saw with my own eyes that you took Lily Bai away. How can you deny it?"

"Lily Bai is indeed in our hands. The others are not."

"So... if it's just Lily Bai alone..."

"No deal." Leo Li was probably thinking about how to change the exchange terms when Damian suddenly spoke up.

"What? Damian, what did you say?" Leo Li asked.

Lily Bai thought, Leo Li was so angry he even got the names mixed up.

He called 'Damian' as 'Mian Da.'

"Lily Bai is not for exchange." Damian grabbed the Messenger Charm and snuffed it out.

Lily Bai, standing nearby, was so angry her heart hurt. "Damian, someone as heartless as you who doesn't care about your subordinates will die a miserable death sooner or later! I'll be waiting for you on the Road of Yellow Springs!"

Damian: "You won't get the chance to walk the Road of Yellow Springs."

Lily Bai: "..."

That's right!

After your soul is scattered, how could you possibly have the chance to walk the Road of Yellow Springs?

"Even if my soul is scattered, I'll curse you! You'll die a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than I will!" Lily Bai shouted.

"The Hell of Blazing Flames is the worst death I can imagine," Damian said. "Tell me, what kind of death would be a thousand, ten thousand times worse than that?"

Lily Bai struggled for a long time, then shouted: "...Even if I die, the people will praise me! If you die, you'll be reviled for ten thousand years!"

"Why would he be reviled for ten thousand years?" Azure Flame suddenly asked her.

Her tone was icy.

"Why? You seriously have to ask me why?" Lily Bai laughed in anger. "Don't you know what you've done yourselves?"

"What have we done? Go ahead and tell me." Azure Flame challenged her.

"In the past hundred years, there have been three major god-demon wars, especially the one fifty years ago that wiped out dozens of empires! Countless deaths and injuries—don't tell me you've forgotten?"

"Was that really started by us?" Azure Flame retorted.

Lily Bai: "...Even if the Divine Realm attacked you, it was because you committed so many crimes first!"

"And which of your eyes saw us committing all those crimes?" Azure Flame shot back.

"I may not have seen you two do anything personally, but your subordinates have burned, killed, robbed, plundered, raped—it's too much to even list! The cities you've slaughtered, you didn't even spare old people or children. It's absolutely inhumane! I've seen it myself several times!"

Azure Flame said seriously, "That wasn't us. Someone framed us."

"Framed?" Lily Bai laughed and shook her head. "I can't believe it. You all have unmatched power, but you dare to do things and won't admit to them?"

"We admit what we've done. Why admit to things we didn't do?" Azure Flame asked.

Lily Bai took a deep breath. "So now you're the victims?"

"You could say that."

"If that's the case, why don't you let me go? I'll help you uncover the truth and clear your names."

Azure Flame said nothing.

"See?" Lily Bai spread her hands and shot Damian a cold, mocking smile.

"Azure Flame, go rest." Damian said to Azure Flame.

Azure Flame glanced at Lily Bai, turned into a little bat, curled up, and went to sleep.

"Hmph... Ambitious creep! Total pervert! Rotten to the core! Still pretending to be innocent!" Lily Bai glared at Damian, full of resentment. "The thing I regret most is helping Azure Flame remove that talisman! If I'd known you were so evil, killed my junior brother Jiu Li, I'd rather die than help her! I would've let her freeze to death, suffer—"

"Shut up." Damian gave her a dangerously cold look. "Are you going to sleep or not?"
