Chapter 83 Chapter 83 The human heart is made of flesh, the demon's, also...

The corner of Mo Jue's mouth froze on his face and slowly fell.

He asked, "Brother, I want to share your worries, is that wrong?"

"I don't think you're wrong."

Xuan Yi said, "Ajue, I don't blame you. I'm glad you're willing to share my worries. But I hope my brother can protect himself before helping others."

"I know exactly how much demonic energy it takes to repair his broken spine. Your body has only recently recovered, and your demonic energy is unstable. You were lucky enough to survive this attack, but what about next time? Can you guarantee that your body will not be damaged?"

Xuan Yi's questions, every word, pierced Mo Jue's heart.

He knew very well that his brother loved him, but he had to watch his brother busying around, running from the demon world to the human world, and then from the human world back to the demon world, back and forth, and running around like this, which really distressed Mo Jue.

Human hearts are made of flesh, and so are demon hearts.

Mo Jue raised his chin and said stubbornly, "I don't think I did anything wrong in saving people! My demonic power hasn't fully recovered, but I didn't sacrifice myself!"

"You've been so busy trying to find the water source that you've had no time to care for your clan. How can I sit back and watch while I'm here?"

"Brother, I don't have the same deep sense of responsibility as you do. I'm willing to wait for you in the tribe because I know that in your heart, the tribe is more important than anything else."

"I am still alive today because you, my brother, have endured night after night, overcome difficulties after difficulties, and raised me single-handedly."

"Whatever you care about, I care about."

Mo Jue smiled: "Except Fairy Biqing."

Mo Jue's heartfelt words made Xuan Yi deeply worried.

He didn't tell anyone that he and Biqing had failed to obtain the artifact.

What he was afraid of was that his younger brother would get anxious and secretly run to the human world to look for him while he was sleeping.

But Xuan Yi was even more afraid that this incident would cause unnecessary turmoil in the clan.

Xuan Yi ignored Mo Jue's last joking words and stared at the lake in front of him without saying a word.

There are many things that even if I repeat them to Mo Jue thousands of times, he will turn a deaf ear to them.

It’s better to wait for the day when your brother hits a wall and turns back willingly.

Looking at Ah Jiu and the others who were still in the form of little wolf cubs not far away, Xuan Yi asked, "Why don't you ask them to transform into human form?"

Mo Jue raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Brother, you didn't mention this when you left."

Xuan Yi: "... Life is pretty peaceful now. Let them get used to transforming. Otherwise, after a while, even if they transform, they'll just crawl around on the ground, which would be really weird."

That scene is weird just thinking about it.

Mo Jue responded readily, lying on the ground and lazily basking in the sun.

"That's right, brother."

"how?"

"Did you and Fairy Biqing fail to find the real artifact when you went out this time?" Mo Jue asked suddenly.

When he didn't hear his brother's rebuttal, Mo Jue knew he was right. Afraid his brother would overthink things, he quickly explained, "You and Fairy Biqing seemed to be on a cold war when you returned, and the things you brought back this time were truly strange. It's hard not to overthink things."

Mo Jue comforted him, "It's okay, brother! You've worked hard enough. If you don't find it this time, you can look for it next time."

"Don't say these things in front of Biqing."

Xuan Yi said, "The incident with the Zhai Xin Ping had a profound impact on her. This time, while searching for the artifact, due to my momentary negligence, she was put in danger and suffered a great blow. Ah Jue, don't provoke her."

Mo Jue realized the seriousness of the situation and frowned unconsciously: "Brother, what did you encounter during your two visits?"

Xuan Yi said, "This concerns Biqing's privacy. I can't clarify it with you."

Mo Jue didn't ask any further questions.

Biqing wasn't very close to him, but he wasn't so bored as to find out something.

It’s enough for my brother to know.

The two brothers sat by the lake for more than a quarter of an hour until Mingzhu called Jiu and the others to go back for a rest. A faint scent of powder wafted through the air.

Xuan Yi stood up and looked in the direction of the scent of powder: the woman in green had bright eyes, fair skin, a face as red as a peach, and rosy red lips like peony petals dipped in honey. She attracted Xuan Yi's attention and blurred everything else in front of him.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the woman's face, casting a halo on it and infinitely magnifying the tenderness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Xuan Yi's heart skipped a beat, and then, like a horde of thousands of soldiers passing through a border, it began to beat in a chaotic and chaotic manner, as if it would burst through his chest in the next moment.

Mo Jue stood up and saw his brother standing there as if he had been pricked. He forced a smile and reminded him, "Brother, girls are sensitive to their reputation. It's really inappropriate for you to stare at her like that."

Xuan Yi understood this principle better than Mo Jue.

But whenever he saw Biqing, Xuan Yi couldn't control his gaze.

He himself didn't know when he started to be so greedy, wanting to see Biqing as much as possible.

The thought of wanting to stay with the person in front of me popped up in my mind more than once.

Childish and unrealistic.

But Xuan Yi couldn't help thinking about it.

Fearing Biqing might get upset if he stared at her for too long, Xuan Yi lowered his gaze and looked away. He calmed his slightly ragged breathing and walked forward to greet Biqing.

Liu Que, who was holding a wisteria flower, saw Xuan Yi's eyes glued to Bi Qing. She stroked the flower in her arms and joked, "They say people are more beautiful than flowers. Today I've seen it come true! Don't you agree, Xuan Yi?"

Xuan Yi nodded undeniably: "It's several times more beautiful than flowers."

Xuan Yi was never stingy when it came to praising others.

This is especially true for Biqing.

Biqing blushed and lowered her head, twisting her sleeves nervously: "No, no, it was Miss Liuque who skillfully helped me dress up..."

Liu Que and Mo Jue looked at each other and tried to suppress their laughter.

Biqing could feel how hot Xuan Yi's gaze was looking at her without even looking up.

After spending so much time with Xuan Yi, she had already gone from being afraid of his gaze to being able to talk to him naturally.

She didn't look up because she was afraid that Xuan Yi would see her face, which was still red without rouge.

The moment of Biqing's silence seemed to last hundreds of years.

Finally, it was Xuan Yi who broke the silence: "Let's see how to use the flower first." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Liuque.

Liuque stopped laughing and said seriously, "First, go dig a hole by the lake and plant the flowers."

Xuan Yi followed her instructions and headed for the lake. With a wave of his hand, a bit of demonic energy blasted a pit of moderate depth beside his feet. "Is that enough?"

Liu Que nodded with satisfaction, walked up to Mo Jue, and forcefully stuffed the bunch of wisteria flowers into his arms, saying without hesitation, "Go and plant the flowers!"

Mo Jue, holding the flower, asked back, "Fairy Biqing can't touch the water source, so she has her reasons for not going. You can touch it too, so why don't you go?"

Liuque said bluntly: "There's so much mud by the water, I won't go there! What if I don't watch carefully and step on mud all over my shoes? How dirty it would be!"

Mo Jue was about to retort when his brother quickly interrupted him: "Ajue, just listen to Liu Que."

Mo Jue naturally would not refute his brother's words. He walked to the pit with a lot of resentment, squatted down and planted the cluster of wisteria in the pit.

The soil near the water source was wet and cold, and my hands were covered with ink.

Mo Jue didn't mind the dirt. After making sure that the cluster of flowers stood firmly in the pit, he walked to the lakeside and carefully washed the dirt off his hands, even the cracks between his nails.

After washing his hands, Mo Jue came to his brother and used his magic power to purify the foul air remaining on his hands.

Xuan Yi looked at the solitary cluster of wisteria flowers before him and asked Liu Que, "What should we do next?"

Liuque gathered a bit of her demonic power and dropped it onto the wisteria flowers.

The white wisteria flowers flashed and grew an inch taller.

Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ripening?"

"Smart!" Liu Que said, "If this flower were left to grow on its own, who knows how long it would take. I'll use my magical powers to make it grow faster. When it grows into a tree and blooms, its petals will fall to the lake, naturally purifying the foul air in the water."

Mo Jue asked, "As long as this wisteria tree is alive, brother won't have to run around looking for the artifact?"

"It shouldn't be." Biqing rejected Mo Jue's fantasy.

She didn't think the Wisteria Flower God would be so kind as to help the demon world.

Giving her a bunch of wisteria flowers is already the biggest concession I can make.

Biqing lowered her head in thought. Xuan Yi observed this and after a moment's reflection, he guessed, "I guess this wisteria tree will only bloom for one season."

Liuque said worriedly, "Wisteria flowers only bloom for a month at most, and then they wither."

She looked at the lake, which was shimmering with golden waves under the sunlight. "So, if you calculate it this way, the Zhaixin bottle will purify the water for three months, and the purple wisteria flowers will purify it for one month. So, at most, it can only purify the water for four months."

Biqing leaned over to Xuan Yi and whispered, "We've been away for a month. That leaves us with three months to find the artifact."

"Don't my brother and Fairy Biqing still have to travel?"

Mo Jue frowned and said, "How about letting me go this time..."

"What are you going to do?" Xuan Yi scolded mercilessly, "Are you going to die?"

Liu Que glanced at Mo Jue and said, "Stop being angry at Xuan Yi. In a fight, you're no match for him."

"But when it comes to spells and barriers, you're far superior to Xuan Yi. If you stay with the clan to guard it, Xuan Yi can search for the artifact without any worries and without worry with Sister Biqing."

"Your presence alone would only make Xuan Yi unable to sleep at night and restless."

Mo Jue remained silent.

In such a situation, Biqing was embarrassed to speak, but when she saw Mo Jue's lost look, she felt as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Her eyes swiveled as she asked, "Master Mo Jue, if someone told you 'a wolf demon of no consequence', could you handle it?"

Mo Jue said bluntly: "Of course I can't bear it."

Even if he ignores it on the surface, he will definitely seek an explanation for himself when he gets the chance later.

Bi Qing said, "Xuan Yi has suffered a lot of injustices while he was away. Master Mo Jue, ask yourself, facing a self-righteous immortal whose demonic power is many times stronger than yours, are you prepared to perish together with him? Or will you swallow your anger and make things worse for yourself?"

Mo Jue never expected that his brother would be humiliated like this in public. This was tantamount to poking his brother in the spine.

Just hearing these words coming out of Biqing's mouth, Mo Jue's face turned gloomy.

He had to admit that he could not bear such an insult and could not help but take it to heart.

He was born with a defective heart, and even though his brother protected him, he could still hear some unbearable whispers in the clan that made him unable to raise his head.

During that time, Mo Jue pretended not to care, but his heart was bleeding.

His heart is not as strong as his brother's.

"Fairy Biqing is absolutely right."

Mo Jue suppressed his sinister and terrifying aura and returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor. "I'll have to trouble Brother and Fairy Biqing with the rest of the matter. If we really fight, I wouldn't be even a ten-thousandth of what Brother can do."

"Let's talk about the rest later."

Liuque pointed to the cluster of white wisteria flowers that had grown a little bit and said, "Let's talk about what to do with this first."
