Chapter 71 Chapter 71 "Why did you choose to hide from me today?" ...

As Fu Lan spoke, a look as sharp as a blade fell on her face.

Unable to move, Fu Lan subconsciously asked for help from the people around him: "Ge Qing..."

Ge Qing puffed out his chest and stood in front of Fu Lan, blocking out Xuan Yi's vicious gaze.

Biqing sensed the hostility emanating from Xuan Yi and held his slightly cold hand, silently comforting him.

The tightly clenched palm in her hand struggled for a moment, and Biqing knew that Xuan Yi had the intention to kill.

Biqing's delicate fingers squeezed into Xuan Yi's cold fingers. She tried to hold Xuan Yi's hand, and also tried to hold the murderous intent overflowing from Xuan Yi's heart.

Biqing asked Fulan gently, "You refuse to release the fog. Are you afraid someone else will take advantage of the situation and sneak in?"

Fu Lan nodded. Seeing Xuan Yi's murderous look, she became unresponsive. "I, I have another solution... Ge Qing... your vine..."

Biqing and Xuanyi looked at Ge Qing at the same time.

Ge Qing's face flushed instantly, and he stammered, "I'll give it to you after we get out..."

"Give me."

Xuan Yi's eyes squinted at the two little kids in front of him. "My patience is limited."

Ge Qing shook his head and looked at Xuan Yi stubbornly.

He is a child, not a fool.

If I give the things to the wolf demon in front of me, what good will I get?

Xuan Yi curled the corners of his lips in disdain and wanted to open his hand to summon the long sword. His fingers moved and soft skin brushed against his fingertips.

Xuan Yi paused for a moment, clasped his hands, and glanced at the two little kids in front of him.

Biqing really didn't understand why Xuanyi could start an argument with others with just a few words.

The kind that is open to all, regardless of gender, age or status.

Biqing looked at the ray of sunlight in the thick fog and found that it was already noon.

Time was precious, and Biqing thought she couldn't delay any longer. She said, "Let's get out first. We can discuss the rest after we leave here."

She gently tugged at Xuan Yi's hand and soothed him gently, "Why bother getting angry with those two little brats? Normally in the demon world, I've never seen you lose your temper with Jiu and the others."

Biqing smiled and looked at Ge Qing: "Let's go first. If you have any treasures, show them to Xuanyi and me later."

Ge Qing nodded, carried Fu Lan on his back, and walked step by step into the depths of the forest.

Ge Qing walked too fast when he came, so he had used up most of his energy and could not walk fast.

Biqing and Xuanyi followed behind him, walking and stopping.

Xuan Yi tried to hurry her up impatiently, but his palms felt hot, and Biqing's voice echoed in his mind: "Children have short legs, so it's common for them to not walk fast."

Xuan Yi turned his head to look at her and asked, "When did you learn the Secret Sound Technique?"

"I knew it from the beginning. It's the most basic spell. It's just that I don't have the spiritual power to use it in the demon world."

"Biqing, at the speed that kid is going, he might not be able to get out of this fog before dark."

Bi Qing looked at the two small figures in front of her, her eyes turned, she let go of Xuan Yi's hand, and took Fu Lan from Ge Qing's back: "Let me do it, it will be faster this way."

The moment Biqing pulled her hand back, Xuanyi's heart felt empty for a moment.

Without the warmth in his palm, Xuan Yi's already bad mood became even worse.

Ge Qing was already so tired that his back and waist ached. He thought it would be too embarrassing for a man to tell others that he couldn't carry a woman on his back.

Ge Qing trusted Biqing and handed Fulan to her without any worries, and warned her, "Sister Biqing, please don't drop Fulan."

Biqing said: "Don't worry."

Ge Qing glanced at Xuan Yi and said disdainfully, "You have no sympathy for women at all!"

Xuan Yi was too lazy to argue with a little kid, so he just summoned his long sword and walked at the end.

A feeling of oppression enveloped the two little kids, eroding every inch of their skin.

Ge Qing walked faster.

Biqing and Xuanyi followed Ge Qing along countless winding paths and waded through several streams before finally leaving the obstructing thick fog.

The warm sunset shines on every corner of the Shiwandashan Mountains, giving the lush and winding mountains an orange-red halo.

Biqing put Fulan down, untied the veil tied behind her head, and took a deep breath: "The air is so good!"

Xuan Yi untied his veil, pointed the tip of his sword at Ge Qing's throat, and ordered, "Give me the thing."

After several attempts, Ge Qing finally understood: With Biqing around, Xuanyi wouldn't dare do anything to him.

He stiffened his neck and said, "Kill me! If you kill me, you'll never leave these mountains!"

These two sentences were said with full confidence and great courage, which made Fu Lan's eyes twitch.

Xuan Yi didn't move, so Fu Lan added harshly, "You enjoy scaring children so much! Your children will hate you in the future!"

With a "swish", the tip of the sword brushed against Ge Qing's sleeve and cut off a piece of fabric.

The cloth slowly fell to the ground, and Ge Qing's face turned pale: "How could you really hit me!"

The more Ge Qing thought about it, the angrier he became, and he took out a piece of vine from his arms.

He took Biqing's hand, and the vines wrapped around it into a bracelet, which fell on Biqing's wrist.

The brown vines are dotted with a few emerald green leaves, which match the clear blue clothes very well.

After delivering the things, Ge Qing remembered that the immobilization spell on Fu Lan had not yet been lifted.

Ge Qing threw himself into Biqing's arms and reminded her aggrievedly, "Sister Biqing, Fu Lan is still in the hands of the wolf demon."

Xuan Yi lowered his eyes to glance at Fu Lan beside him, and then looked at Bi Qing's wrist.

With a wave of his hand, he released the demonic power from Fu Lan.

Fu Lan found that he could move, so he dragged his stiff body to hide behind Bi Qing, not daring to look at Xuan Yi.

It was like children who had done something wrong running behind their loving mother to avoid the scolding of their strict father.

The atmosphere in the four-person room suddenly became tense.

Xuan Yi and Bi Qing exchanged a glance, and the moment their eyes met, they quickly turned their heads away, pretending to be stupid in tacit understanding.

Xuan Yi pretended to be calm: "You two, leave Biqing and go wherever you need to go."

Fu Lan poked his head out and asked in disbelief, "Are you really letting us go?"

"I'm not so boring as to break my promise to the little doll."

Xuan Yi gazed at the mountains stretching out in the sunset, his expression solemn.

Bi Qing rubbed Fu Lan and Ge Qing's heads and said, "You two should go back. Xuan Yi and I still need to find the artifact. We can't delay any longer."

Ge Qing looked at Fu Lan, and they both nodded seriously.

"Sister Biqing, I am a god, and I also want to save the people."

A cloud of mist flew out from Fu Lan's palm and landed in front of the hydrangea. "Actually, I still don't understand why you think that Lord Chisong's defeat of the Demon Lord doesn't mean saving the people. It may take me a long, long time to understand what you mean, Sister Biqing."

"Just like Brother Xuanyi said, outside of the Shiwan Mountains, I can't help at all."

The mist flew into the hydrangea. Fu Lan said unconvincedly, "But I can still help a little in the Shiwan Mountains! Sister Biqing, if you carry this little mist with you, if you encounter thick fog later, it will retreat on its own, and you won't have to worry about wandering around in the forest."

Bi Qing felt warm in her heart: "Fu Lan, thank you."

With Fu Lan's help, she and Xuan Yi will save a lot of energy on the road ahead.

"Can this be considered saving the people?" Fu Lan asked.

"Of course." Bi Qing said, "You and Ge Qing are both doing your best to save the people."

Fu Lan threw herself into Bi Qing's arms and asked, "Sister Bi Qing, can you please not leave?"

She blinked her big watery eyes and said, "I want you to be my mother."

Bi Qing froze in place, refusing repeatedly, "No, no! I'm still young! I'm nowhere near old enough to be your mother!"

Ge Qing said, "Fu Lan! If you want Sister Bi Qing to be your mother—"

He turned around and pointed at Xuan Yi across from him: "You must acknowledge this wolf demon as your father!"

Biqing couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted.

"What nonsense!"

Xuan Yi scolded in a low voice, but a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He re-examined Ge Qing and felt that this little kid...

It's not that annoying.

Xuan Yi didn't want to get entangled with these two little kids anymore, so he said, "Biqing, let's go."

"Wait a moment!"

Ge Qing ran up to Xuan Yi and handed him a vine: "Take this, if you encounter bugs on the road, they won't attack you."

Before Xuan Yi could reach out his hand, the vine wrapped around his wrist.

Ge Qing said, "The things Fu Lan and I have are only useful in the Shiwan Mountains. Once you leave here, they will return to us on their own."

He pointed at the setting sun and said, "My sister once said there's something very powerful on that mountain. The artifact you're looking for might be there."

Xuan Yi looked in the direction Ge Qing pointed. Unlike this mountain with dense trees, that mountain actually had trees growing on it.

Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

From a distance, it seems no different from the one under your feet.

Soon, Xuan Yi discovered something strange about the mountain.

The trees on that mountain are not as tall and lush as the ones on the mountain below.

The uneven trees and the leaves that faintly glowed red made Xuan Yi feel confused.

Before Biqing and Xuanyi left, Ge Qing reminded them, "Sister Biqing, remember to keep your snake fangs safe. If you're lucky enough to meet me, the vines on your wrists will glow! I don't like monsters, so please don't tell me about Brother Xuanyi's identity."

"I see!" Biqing joked with a smile, "Your sister doesn't like monsters, so do you like them?"

Ge Qing thought deeply for a moment and said seriously, "If Brother Xuanyi can save the people, I will like him very much."

Xuan Yi's face was calm and composed.

Ge Qing and Fu Lan watched Bi Qing and Xuan Yi disappear on the endless road. Fu Lan shouted, "Sister Bi Qing! Brother Xuan...Brother Xuan Yi! Next time you save the world, you must take me with you!"

"And me!" Ge Qing echoed.

The answer to the two was a blue demonic power.

The demonic power blossomed into a flower in front of the two of them, and then disappeared.

Fu Lan murmured, "What beautiful flowers."

Ge Qing agreed, "Yes, they are beautiful! As beautiful as the flowers outside my sister's house!"

Biqing and Xuanyi rushed without stopping towards the mountain Fulan pointed to. Biqing watched Xuanyi respond to the two little kids with his magical powers, and smiled softly with her hands covering her face.

Xuan Yi sighed softly and said lovingly, "Biqing, stop teasing me."

Bi Qing smiled and replied, "I know. I will never tease our King Xuan Yi next time."

Xuan Yi raised the corner of his mouth helplessly: "I can't bear your calling me Your Majesty. Please don't embarrass me."

"Xuan Yi," Bi Qing asked, "How does it feel to be liked by a little kid?"

“I don’t feel anything.

Xuan Yi said, "Little kid, many things are forgotten once you wake up from a sleep. You might remember us today, but in three days, you might forget everything."

"Actually... that's not entirely true."

Bi Qing said, "If you and I leave them with unforgettable memories, they will always remember them."

Xuan Yi looked at Bi Qing and caught a glimpse of sadness in her eyes. He held her hand and said, "I don't need them to remember me."

When Biqing met Xuan Yi's bright eyes, she felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, and even her hand, which was held by Xuan Yi, felt hot.

She understood the passion and emotion in Xuan Yi's eyes.

Biqing blushed and pulled her hand back, saying, "Why, why do you always touch me?"

"But I remember that these few times, you were the one who took the initiative to pull me."

Xuan Yi once again took Bi Qing's fair and tender hand, approached her with malicious intent, and carefully observed her shy expression: "What's wrong? It's just holding hands. We've held hands countless times. Why are you avoiding me today?"

Biqing quietly retorted, "No."

She let Xuan Yi lead her, little by little approaching the unknown mountain.
