Chapter 29 Wuxi

Wu Xi's round eyes darted around, and she gave Feng Twelve, who had become wary, a smile that seemed to come from the innocence of a young child.

Feng Shier found him inexplicable.

The next second, a trembling child's voice rang out from her arms.

"Please don't leave me, I really didn't mean any harm..."

Who is he trying to impress with this look...?

"Twelve, what are you doing?"

So it was meant for his brother, you treacherous brat!

Feng Shier's eyes twitched involuntarily, making his red pupils appear even darker.

So he turned to Su Yu and gave her the same aggrieved expression.

"It's okay, bro. He just accidentally grabbed my arm and hurt it, so I let go for a second."

"They were probably frightened."

Showing off the cub he was holding so comfortably, Feng Twelve added, "The cub can't control its strength, it didn't do it on purpose."

Wuxi: You learn so fast, you little rascal!

The situation is stronger than the devil, so I'll endure it for now.

Su Yu neither confirmed nor denied this, but simply said, "Let's go, I've found out enough, let's go to the hotel and settle down first."

Feng Shier glanced at the treacherous brat but didn't press for details.

Wu Xi was secretly pleased that they knew not to directly tell him to be wary; it seemed that these two demons were not entirely without vigilance.

Feeling relieved, she was placed on the wooden table in the guest room and sat down, looking up at Su Yu's smiling face.

I don't know why, but when this child smiles, it puts more pressure on me than when he's cold-faced.

Su Yu gazed intently at the cub before her, smiling as she asked, "Now tell me, what is your identity?"

Wu Xi blinked her big eyes, revealing a cute, innocent, and slightly bewildered smile: "Big brother, what's your identity?"

Su Yu's smile widened as she softly uttered a few words.

"Triple-line epilepsy, and..."

My gaze shifted downwards and landed on the wrist guard on Wu Xi's left hand.

"The material for Rhyme Star Stone is quite rare."

Wu Xi's smile froze instantly. She hadn't expected that this young man, who didn't even have basic healing pills, would have such knowledge.

"Triple-line epilepsy, do you have a cure?"

"No," Su Yu said slowly, "but finding another medicine to help you detoxify shouldn't be a problem."

Wu Xi suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Thank you for saving me, big brother."

“I was also caught up in the infighting among my elders, which is why I was kidnapped to this place by the criminals.”

“My name is Wu Xi. According to seniority, I am the uncle of Grand Master Min Feng of Na Yuan Mansion. If you help me, brother, once I recover from my injuries and contact my nephew, I will definitely present you with a generous gift.”

"By the way, that villain has been eliminated by the attack magic weapon given to me by my elders, so taking him with me will not bring me any danger."

"I swear that I will repay your kindness."

He was trying his best to appear harmless.

Su Yu silently examined the situation in her mind.

Although he did like cubs, he still had to consider his own safety and that of his own cubs first.

If the risk is too great, we'll detoxify him and leave him in this town. After all, once we're out of the forest, he won't die so easily.

When Su Yu heard "Yuanfu," she raised an eyebrow in surprise, but did not show the shock and fear that Wu Xi had expected. Even Feng Twelve, who was standing silently behind Su Yu, did not show any obvious fluctuations.

Wu Xi had some doubts about the existence of the demon.

Strange, the Abyss Palace hasn't declined, has it? Don't the young demons of today admire the Abyss Palace anymore?

“Alright,” Su Yu said, losing interest in asking any more questions. She lazily rubbed her neck and lifted Wu Xi off the table. “That’s settled then. Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet, so stay here and rest for a while.”

"Don't rush to make an oath. You need to get rid of the poison before you can use demonic energy to make an oath."

“Twelve, come downstairs with me,” Su Yu said, patting Wu Xi’s head and rubbing it a few times before turning to Feng Twelve. “Let’s see what food this restaurant has. We’ll call Wu Xi when the food is ready.”

Feng Shier responded with a hint of excitement.

Wu Xi knew that this meant they had something to discuss in private, most likely his identity, which was not important to him. So he relaxed and lay down on the bed to sleep.

He was truly exhausted during this time, and soon after Su Yu and the other demon left, he fell asleep.

Downstairs, after ordering their food, Su Yu and Feng Shier found an empty table in the restaurant and sat down.

The shopkeeper warmly offered us a pot of free tea.

The location is quite far in, and there aren't many magic seats nearby, but Su Yu and Feng Twelve are happy to have some peace and quiet.

However, one could still hear the guests talking loudly, mostly discussing the fierce battle that had taken place in the Darksha Forest a couple of days prior.

For safety reasons, the town had closed the entrance to the Dark Fiend Forest for a few days.

However, since that day, there has been no major activity in the forest, and the demons figured that the seal would be lifted in the next day or two.

"Hey! I've been so bored these past few days!"

"Who isn't! But when those powerful beings fight at such close range, it's best if we're not caught in the crossfire."

"Once it's confirmed to be open, I'm going to go in and make a killing, and then go to Misty Moon City to enjoy myself."

Just as Su Yu's curiosity was beginning to rise, she heard the unrestrained laughter of the demon men and women coming from the other side.

The demon race... is indeed open.

With a blank expression, Su Yu took Feng Shier's hand and covered the child's ears, then activated a soundproof tatami mat she had made herself.

The noise instantly subsided, confirming the talisman's effectiveness. Su Yu then signaled to Twelve that they no longer needed to cover their ears.

"Brother, did Wuxi follow us after that?"

“Well, it’s not too much trouble to bring him along,” Su Yu explained to Feng Twelve in a low voice after thanking the shopkeeper. “Since he has the backing of the Yuan Mansion, it wouldn’t be bad to make a good connection with him.”

Because they had used soundproof boxes, no one could hear their conversation, and Su Yu didn't hesitate to mention Wuxi's background in public.

A dark light flashed in Feng Shier's eyes: "I understand."

"However, does my brother believe that what he said is the truth?"

"Well..." Su Yu took a sip of tea. "As long as he really has the ability to contact the mentors at Yuanfu, the rest, whether it's true or false, doesn't really matter."

“Take that treasure-hunting beast for example,” Su Yu said, speaking from a contemporary perspective, “as long as it can find treasure, who cares whether it looks like a rat or a rabbit?”

The treasure-hunting beast has an unpredictable form and only displays a mark on its forehead when it activates its treasure-hunting ability. It is extremely difficult to capture and obtain, and it cannot be artificially bred. However, it is highly sought after in both the demon realm and the spirit realm, and is even priceless.

“Brother is right.” Feng Twelve nodded seriously, looking as if he had learned something.

Su Yu was relieved, and then said, "I've booked two rooms. You and Wu Xi can sleep together. I'll get up early these next two days and go to town to see if there are any geomancers for sale."

"Although the medication had suppressed it before, we can't delay the onset of epilepsy for too long."

"...Uh, what's wrong?"

After Su Yu finished explaining her arrangements, she noticed that Feng Twelve's face gradually darkened, and he became listless.

Feng Shier had already collapsed onto the table like a boneless slump. Gu Yong patted him a few times and said in a soft tone, "I want to sleep with you... Brother."
