’Please be safe, Ai Rong! Please be safe! I promise that I will start being honest to you with my feelings!’ Tian Chenyu continued to run towards the east side of the city even though he was already out of breath.

”Hide! A demon has appeared on the east side of the city!” The pedestrians shouted as they ran.

”Young man, where are you going?! That’s the direction of the demon!”

Some of the pedestrians tried to stop Tian Chenyu, but he ignored all of their warnings and continued running.

A few minutes later, which felt like an eternity for Tian Chenyu, he finally arrived in the area where the Ai Family was located.

However, the place was awfully quiet, a stark contrast to the atmosphere on the other side of the city.

Tian Chenyu eventually arrived at the Ai Family’s household, and he could even see their entrance.

However, he couldn’t approach the household for some reason and could only stand a couple of houses away.

He eventually snapped out of his daze and proceeded walking towards the Ai Family’s household.

But then he came to another halt when he noticed a figure appearing from within the household, and this person appeared to be running away from something.

When Tian Chenyu saw the pretty face of this person, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

’Ai Rong!’

Indeed, it was Ai Rong, his love since childhood and fiancee.

Tian Chenyu felt all of the weight on his shoulders disappear the moment he saw that Ai Rong was still alive. Even though she looked terrified and completely hysterical at this moment, that didn’t matter to him.

However, before he could even sigh a breath of relief, and before the smile on his face could fully be formed, something red and long appeared behind Ai Rong, and it was flying towards her direction like a spear.

Before Tian Chenyu could even fully comprehend what he was seeing, the red spear reached Ai Rong and pierced her body from the back.

Ai Rong fell to the ground the very next moment and laid there, but she was still alive.

Seeing this, Tian Chenyu immediately began running towards her.

However, before he could even take two steps, he noticed a red figure appearing behind Ai Rong.

This figure had dark red skin, and it had the frame of a tall human adult. There was also a very distinct-looking horn poking from the right side of its head.

The moment Tian Chenyu saw this demon, his body froze, almost as though he’d turned into a stone statue.

’What are you doing, Tian Chenyu?! Move! Move, damn it!’ He roared inwardly.

But no matter how much he tried to command his body to move, it simply refused to listen to him, so he could only stand there and watch as the demon slowly approached Ai Rong, who was squirming on the ground in a puddle of her own blood.

’No… Don’t… Stop it… STOP IT!’

Tian Chenyu wanted to shout at the demon to stop, but no voices came out of his mouth.

Tears flowed from Tian Chenyu’s eyes as he watched the demon open its grotesque mouth and clamp down on Ai Rong’s legs before tearing it right off her body.

Ai Rong immediately screamed in pain, and her sharp and painful voice felt like daggers piercing his heart when it reached Tian Chenyu.

Meanwhile, the demon chewed on her leg and swallowed it within seconds.

”DELICIOUS!” The demon began laughing afterward, and it immediately went for another bite, taking another chunk of Ai Rong’s flesh from her body.

However, Tian Chenyu could do nothing but watch in horror and fear.

Eventually, Ai Rong could no longer scream, so she just laid there as the demon continued to eat her body.

Once half of Ai Rong’s body was consumed, Tian Chenyu noticed that Ai Rong was looking in his direction, and her lips appeared to be moving.

Tian Chenyu subconsciously read her lips, which said, ”Chen…yu… R…u…n…”

After reading her lips, Tian Chenyu regained enough strength to move his arms, and he lifted his arms towards Ai Rong’s direction, seemingly trying to reach for her.

Seeing Tian Chenyu’s motion, a slight smile appeared on Ai Rong’s face, and her lips continued to move, ”I… love… you…”

”Goodbye…”

After saying her last words, the light in Ai Rong’s eyes faded, and at the same moment, her life ended.

However, that didn’t stop the demon from consuming the rest of her body. In the end, the demon consumed even the last drop of her blood from the ground.

After the demon finished eating Ai Rong, it turned around and went back inside the household.

Once the demon was no longer in his view, Tian Chenyu fell to his knees, and he would spend many minutes staring at the stained ground in front of the Ai Family’s household.

The demon would end up eating everybody in the Ai Family and many other families before leaving the city unharmed.

Tian Chenyu wouldn’t return home until it was past midnight, and when he did, his worried parents were there to greet him.

”Chenyu! Where have you been?! A demon had appeared in the city! We’ve been worried to death about you!” His mother immediately went to embrace him.

However, she stopped when there was no reaction from Tian Chenyu.

”C-Chenyu? What happened to you, dear?” She gasped in shock when she saw the blank look on Tian Chenyu’s face.

Even though he was clearly alive, he also appeared to be dead at the same time, almost like a soulless vessel.

Tian Aowei then spoke in a low voice, ”I had a bad feeling when I heard that the demon had appeared in the east side of the city…”

”Don’t tell me… The Ai Family?!”

Realizing the truth, Tian Chenyu’s mother embraced him even harder while crying at the same time.

”I’m sorry, Chenyu… I’m really sorry…”

Tian Chenyu eventually fell unconscious in his mother’s embrace. When that happened, his family carried him to his bed so that he could rest, and they would call a doctor for him the following morning.
