[Gentle yet strong little sun bamboo immortal × Tsundere ascetic wolf demon]
Biqing of the Xiaoxiang tribe accidentally fell into the Dem...
Chapter 57 Chapter 57 "You and I helped each other, and...
Biqing propped up her weak body and moved a little, then a big hand supported her back.
She clearly felt the hand supporting her stiffen for a moment before it used force to lift herself up.
Biqing was embraced in a cold yet warm embrace.
Biqing didn't have the energy to argue with Xuanyi. She said calmly, "I once said I would help you find a way to purify the water. If you take the Zhaixin Bottle, I won't think you're a bad person."
"It's me instead."
Bi Qing stared at her palm intently. "I'm not strong enough. I couldn't find a way to protect Senior Wulin, so I had no choice but to sacrifice him."
Tears welled up silently in her eyes. "He said my parents were wonderful people. This is the first time I've heard someone mention them. I just want to hear more about them..."
"I'm sorry, Senior, and I'm sorry for you... I can't keep him alive... and I have to stop you..."
Biqing covered her face, her speech was incoherent and she burst into tears.
Xuan Yi felt extremely distressed when he saw Biqing sobbing. He lowered his head and rested his chin on top of Biqing's head. He held her with one hand and pulled down her hand that was covering her face with the other.
"Other people are eager to put the blame on others, but why do you only take the blame on yourself?"
Xuan Yi raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears on Biqing's cheeks. "I know you're soft-hearted. Asking you to make decisions on many things is just making things difficult for you."
Whether it was killing the Goldfish Fairy or forcing Biqing to watch Wulin die in front of her, these were cruel to her.
But Xuan Yi was no longer surprised.
"You just make me happy."
Biqing grabbed Xuanyi's sleeve and wiped her tears and snot on it. "You must have learned bad habits from Master Mo Jue. I remember that earlier on, you always had a stern face and didn't like to talk to people."
Xuan Yi followed her words and said, "I just learned bad habits from Ah Jue."
"Don't try to trick me into saying something nonsense."
Biqing sniffed, "This room is unfamiliar, and you're here. This must be the foot of Mount Kunlun in the demon world."
Xuan Yi said, "On the way back, I saw you were unconscious. I was worried about leaving you alone in the human world, so I took the initiative to bring you back."
He knew Biqing didn't want to stay in the demon world, so he continued, "We will be back soon and won't stay here for too long."
us?
Biqing looked at Xuanyi with red eyes and asked, "Are you still going to the human world?"
Xuan Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "The Zhaixin bottle alone cannot purify the foul air in the water."
"Can't I?" Bi Qing frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you just say that you haven't used it yet and don't know how to use it?"
After saying that, Biqing glared at Xuan Yi fiercely and reached out to push him: "You lied to me! Didn't you?!"
Xuan Yi was quick to act and grasped Biqing's outstretched hand. "I'm afraid if you knew, you'd disregard your own health and devote yourself to this matter."
She is so perceptive. I must be more careful when talking to Biqing about the artifact in the future.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, she will become suspicious and overthink things.
Biqing's mouth flattened: "Even if I knew, what can I do? This is the demon world, I can't help at all."
She pulled her hand away and said, "Let me go quickly. First, tell me when and how you used the Zhai Xin Ping."
"I'll tell you when you feel better." Xuan Yi let go of her hand and helped Biqing lie back on the couch.
Seeing Biqing's red lips parted, he said, "I've asked Liuque to take the little river clam to the lotus demon. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the human world. With the spirit beast here, the yard won't be abandoned."
"Miss Liuque is here too?"
Biqing was happy for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't want to ask these questions."
"Before Senior Wulin passed away, he saw your appearance and exclaimed how much you resembled your parents."
"Did you... kill him?"
"I gave him a choice. Either I do it, or he does it himself."
Xuan Yi sighed, the image of Wulin personally digging out the Zhaixin Bottle in front of him was still vivid in his mind.
He regretted: "I shouldn't have given him a choice."
When Biqing thought of Wulin carving out the Zhaixin bottle with his own hands, her heart ached slightly and even breathing became difficult.
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy. Xuan Yi took off his coat and covered Bi Qing with it. "I wasn't here when the house was built, so I didn't ask them to put out the bedding. My wolf fur coat is much warmer than a quilt, so you can use it first."
Bi Qing nodded and was about to thank him when she heard Xuan Yi say, "Why are you being so polite to me? You and I have been helping each other so much that we have already settled our debts."
Biqing smiled, pulled the wolf fur that was stained with Xuan Yi's body temperature, and rested her heavy body.
Biqing didn't know when Xuanyi left the house. When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
Biqing had many dreams. Sometimes she was in the Wei River, sometimes in the demon world, and then the scene changed to Yuluan Peak.
My head felt like it was filled with paste, and my shoulders felt like they were being weighed down by two huge rocks.
Biqing guessed that it was because she was in the demon world and she couldn't rely on the spiritual power in her body to cultivate herself and recuperate, so the feeling of fatigue persisted.
Biqing stood up, put on Xuan Yi's outer fur coat and went outside the house, where she saw the wolf demons, led by Mingzhu, gathered together, chattering about something.
The wolf demons smelled the breath of their king and froze in place, not daring to move, as if they had been pricked by someone.
Only Mingzhu was brave enough to follow the scent. She breathed a sigh of relief, visibly relieved, and asked, "Why did you get out?"
When the wolf demons heard that it was not their king, they immediately became furious, thinking that someone in the tribe was behind this. They bared their sharp fangs and prepared to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.
The moment they saw Biqing, the wolf demons were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly retracted their fangs: "Fairy, fairy, why is it you?"
Yesterday, Lord Mo Jue specifically instructed: Do not hurt Fairy Biqing, and treat her with the same respect as you treat your own king.
Otherwise, if he angered Fairy Biqing, she would not help the king with the task of purifying the water source.
They have been looking forward to the day when they can have clean water to drink, and it is really tiring to use their magical powers to purify it all day long.
Biqing was startled by them and was obviously not used to the wolf demons' politeness.
In the past, when these wolf demons looked at me, they wanted to skin me alive...
Bi Qing calmed down and asked, "After Xuan Yi came back, did he use the Zhai Xin bottle to purify the foul air in the water?"
The wolf demons looked at each other, and someone said, "Yes!"
Mingzhu immediately flew into a rage: "You're so quick to speak! She didn't even ask you!"
Bi Qing was embarrassed: "Miss Mingzhu... don't hide anything from me. I just want to ask about the purification process and whether it went smoothly."
Mingzhu shook her head. "I don't know. When the king was purifying the water source yesterday, I happened to be out hunting with Liaoying and the others."
The king repeatedly warned and warned Fairy Biqing not to know what happened yesterday.
If I let the cat out of the bag, I'll definitely get scolded.
Mingzhu's unusual behavior made Biqing suspicious.
Based on her understanding of Mingzhu, she knew that Mingzhu was not someone who could make excuses.
I think it must be Xuan Yi's order not to let them tell him.
Biqing frowned slightly: Xuan Yi is too cautious!
I have made it clear, but you still have to be on guard against yourself!
So hateful!
Mingzhu didn't say anything, and Biqing didn't ask any further questions. The two of them exchanged a few irrelevant words.
Biqing wanted to walk around, but Mingzhu was worried and decided to follow Biqing.
Her body is like a bamboo pole, and if a gust of wind comes, she will be blown into the lake.
Mingzhu followed Biqing and took a step forward. Biqing turned around and asked with her dark eyes blinking, "Ms. Mingzhu, where is Miss Liuque? I haven't seen her since I came back!"
"It's where Master Mo Jue is." Mingzhu pointed forward, "Go forward and then to the right. You'll see it after two steps."
"It's close, I'll be back soon. Miss Mingzhu, please don't follow me."
While Mingzhu was wondering how she knew she was going to follow her, Biqing quickly disappeared from her sight.
By the time Mingzhu came to her senses, Biqing had already disappeared.
Confused, she asked the other wolf demons, "How did she know I was going to follow her?"
——
Biqing knew Liuque was at Mo Jue's place, so she didn't bother him. Turning on her toes, she headed for the lakeside and found a random spot to sit down.
"Sister Biqing!"
Ajiu came flying, jumped up, and threw himself into Biqing's arms.
Biqing opened her arms and caught Jiu, holding him in her arms and kissing him several times: "Jiu!"
Gently pinching Ajiu's little face, Biqing smiled and said, "It's so soft! So nice!"
It's just a little heavier and bigger than when I left, so I can't hold it.
"Fairy Biqing!" Fu Liu flapped his wings and landed on Ajiu's head, "Long time no see!"
Biqing tapped Fu Liu's furry head with her slender white fingers and said with a smile, "Long time no see! When did you move in? Are you all happy?"
“We moved here four months ago!”
Fu Liu enjoyed Bi Qing's caress and tilted his head as he said, "Lord Mo Jue came to fetch our king in person, and only then did the king agree to come! If King Xuan Yi had gone forward, the king would not have come!"
"It was Young Master Mo Jue who went there in person," Bi Qing said, "The two of them really have a good relationship."
"Sister Biqing, how are you doing in the human world?"
Ah Jiu rubbed Bi Qing's arm and said coquettishly, "I really missed you! Can you please not leave now that you're back?"
Biqing said: "If the water source is clean, I won't leave."
Ah Jiu immediately lost his temper, looking frustrated. "This water isn't very clean. Yesterday, I thought the king had thoroughly purified the lake water. I was too lazy and didn't purify it myself. As a result, I started feeling unwell after drinking it. Luckily, Lord Mo Jue discovered it in time, otherwise I would have been in trouble!"
Biqing asked, "Ah Jiu, Xuan Yi came here to purify the water yesterday. Did you see what happened?"
Ajiu shook his head, and Fu Liu, who had landed on his head, lost his balance and landed on Biqing's shoulder with his wings flapping.
Fu Liu stood firm and said proudly, "I saw it!"
Biqing said, "Fu Liu, can you tell me what happened yesterday?"
Fu Liu cleared his throat and said, "Yesterday I saw King Xuanyi suspend a porcelain vase above the lake. Golden light flowed down the mouth of the vase like a waterfall. It was as if the lake was sprinkled with gold, and it hurt my eyes!"
"But not long after, the bottle was taken away by King Xuanyi."
Fu Liu chattered, and Bi Qing pondered in her heart, and asked, "Fu Liu, are you sure that the golden light is coming from the bottle?"
"Of course!" Fu Liu said, "I won't be wrong!"
Afraid that Biqing wouldn't believe him, he said, "It's not just me! Many people in the clan saw it!"
Biqing smiled and said, "Of course I believe it."
It’s just this golden light…
Could it be the inner elixir of Senior Wulin?
Biqing exclaimed, "Ouch!" and asked, "Do you know where Xuan Yi is?"
Ah Jiu said, "The king went to visit the demon tribe next door. He said he wanted to take a walk so that everyone could live in peace."
"When did you leave?"
"The king left home at dawn." Ajiu looked at the sun hanging overhead. "The king should be back soon. After all, he still needs to eat lunch."
"Even if you want to eat, you have to wait until it's cooked."
Xuan Yi walked slowly to Bi Qing's side and glanced at Ajiu.
Ah Jiu practically jumped up from Bi Qing's legs and pounced on Fu Liu with his paws: "You guys prepared lunch today, right? Why don't you go check if it's cooked!"
Fu Liu got pawed for no apparent reason, feeling unhappy. He flapped his wings and chased after Jiu's tail, saying, "Eat, eat, eat! I'll stuff you to death!"
Ah Jiu let out a "woof" and ran away, disappearing from the sight of Xuan Yi and Bi Qing.
Watching the two little guys walk away, Xuan Yi sat down next to Bi Qing and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
Biqing stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the Zhaixin bottle!"
