Chapter 41 Brother, you're still alive!

Feng Huaijin quickly withdrew his hand and returned to Su Yu's side.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

His voice was gentle, and he was intimate with Su Yu.

"You son of a bitch, there's no way you're in trouble at the Nascent Soul stage!"

Hua Xian, barely managing to stand firm under the oppressive force while supporting herself with her gun, still managed to hurl insults at Feng Huaijin.

Yu Ronglan had already calmly squatted down on the ground.

Su Yu had no choice but to temporarily ignore Hua Xian's scolding and reassured Feng Huaijin through telepathy, "It's alright, but these are Hua Xian and Yu Ronglan, people we know."

Feng Huaijin nodded, glanced at the two demons again as if to confirm their identities, and then said, "They seem to want your sword, brother."

Hua Xian heard this, stared intently at him, and readily admitted it.

"That's right! Hand over the Frost Flowing Sword, it belongs to my brother A-Jiu!"

"If you insist on not giving it to us, we will fight to the death once we leave Yuan Mansion!"

Seeing that the two demons still wanted to make a move, Su Yu helplessly increased his pressure and slowly walked towards them: "I say, why did you start fighting and killing right away? You didn't even ask me where this sword came from?"

"Heh, then tell me, where did you get that sword from!"

Su Yu could only begin to recall, expressionless, how she had spouted such nonsense.

“A mysterious merchant in the back alley of Yunhua Street in Liuhua City gave me the sword and then disappeared.”

"Is that all? It's me, A-Jiu. How come you can't recognize me just because I changed my hair color?"

Yu Ronglan didn't know the sword's origin, so she turned to look at Hua Xian's reaction.

I witnessed a shocking scene: a young, strong man with peach blossom eyes filled with tears in the wind.

Ah, it's true.

Yu Ronglan sheathed his scimitar and stood quietly to the side, waiting for Hua Xian to vent her emotions.

"Ah Jiu... Waaah, it really is you, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?" Hua Xian sniffed.

Su Yu continued, "You got scolded by your father for wanting to go out and explore with me, so you pretended to be poisoned to fool him and were sent to the kitchen where you caused a huge commotion..."

"Do you need me to describe the horrific scene in detail?"

Hua Xian let out a "whoosh" and pounced on him to hug him, but Feng Huaijin stopped her by grabbing her collar.

"Brother, you're not dead?"

"Very good!"

"Sorry, Second Senior Brother, I didn't mean to fight you. By the way, Eldest Senior Brother, where's your twelfth brother?"

Feng Huaijin hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a normal tone: "That's me."

Hua Xian let out a startled sound.

"Twelve? You've grown up quite a bit, tall and strong..."

Yu Ronglan also looked surprised.

It's no wonder they reacted this way; after all, Feng Huaijin's appearance is indeed very different from when he was a child.

He grew from a thin bamboo stalk into a healthy and handsome young man.

It's all thanks to his good care.

Su Yu felt secretly proud and invited Hua Xian and Yu Ronglan into the room to chat and reminisce.

After Yu Ronglan divided the spoils of war and settled his mother that day, he boarded a group of wandering cultivators from outside Liuhua City and left to explore on his own. By chance, he awakened a trace of ancient demon bloodline and entered the Abyss Mansion. After discovering that Hua Xian had also entered, the two demons naturally began to get along.

Three years ago, his mother was brought to live in Yuancheng.

The reason why those guards were summoned in time was because Hua Xian's mother, Teng Qing, was the first to notice the loosening of the red shield's blockade and spread the news.

Later, the Yu family joined the counterattack, barely redeeming themselves, but their status was far from what it used to be, as a new family had taken their place.

After the old monster captured Su Yu and Feng Huaijin and left, Liuhua City learned of Ajiu's achievements from the guards and sent demons to try to find a rescue, but there was no news and they basically believed that they had perished.

This is understandable, after all, Su Yu and the others first teleported away from that old monster randomly, and then went around training after becoming disciples, so it is normal that they could not find him.

Hua Xian originally wanted to join the search, but his father ruthlessly confined him, saying that with his abilities he couldn't do anything and shouldn't cause trouble.

Hua Xian gets angry whenever she thinks about this, and from then on she works hard to improve herself, only to be kicked into the Yuan Mansion.

However, after entering the Yuan Mansion, he often took on missions and went out, hoping to find Su Yu in unfamiliar places.

His brother, Hua Min, is already in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, but he still stays in the Abyss Mansion to cultivate in seclusion and serve as an assistant to his mentor.

Su Yu naturally told them about her experiences over the years and helplessly accepted Hua Xian's mild complaints.

When he initially used the pseudonym "A-Jiu," he never imagined he would stay in Liuhua City for several years, much less that a free-spirited young master like Hua Xian would value his sworn brother so much.

However, they have now gotten to know each other anew.

After recovering from her initial excitement, Hua Xian grew increasingly thrilled. She suppressed it, only letting out a wild laugh at Yu Ronglan on the way back when no one was around.

"Ha, Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, they're all my brothers!"

"From now on, we'll walk sideways!"

Yu Ronglan nodded silently, then quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't cause them any trouble."

Hua Xian made a vow gesture.

After he was released, he chuckled occasionally, but Yu Ronglan, who sighed helplessly, pulled him back.

After a long-awaited reunion and conversation, and after seeing the two demons off, Su Yu looked at Feng Huaijin thoughtfully.

Feng Huaijin tilted his head, looking completely bewildered.

“Twelve, you’ve always followed me through our training, and you haven’t had much time to spend with other demons your age,” Su Yu said earnestly. “There are so many demons in the Abyss Palace, you can see if there are any you like who are suitable to be your friends.”

"Brother, are you annoyed by me?"

Dark eyelashes drooped down, obscuring Feng Huaijin's crimson pupils.

Unease, anxiety, panic.

Even a hint of anger.

He shouldn't have caused trouble for his brother, but the questioning words couldn't help but slip out.

"How could that be?" Su Yu asked in surprise, then said seriously, "This kind of thing will never happen."

“Yes, I believe in you, brother,” Feng Huaijin moved to Su Yu’s side, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his face in the crook of his neck, and said in a muffled voice, “You’re the best, brother.”

His fair neck was just below his lips, and he could feel the blood flowing in the veins beneath her skin.

Feng Huaijin felt a tiny, dense itch on his tiger teeth, screaming with hunger and impatience.

No, that's not right!

How could he possibly have thoughts of hurting his brother?

The inner lip wall was bitten open, and the taste of rust filled the mouth.

The chaotic emotions were suppressed again, and he simply rubbed his neck gently in a restrained manner.

Su Yu chose to indulge her son's continued clingy behavior even though he was an adult. She patted the back of his head reassuringly and asked softly, "Why have you been so clingy to me lately?"

"Are you not used to life in Yuan Mansion? Or has something happened that I don't know about?"

"Yes, it's just a little unfamiliar." Feng Huaijin paused for a moment, then murmured.

"I will communicate with other demons and adapt as soon as possible." So don't worry.

Even though there are so many demons bothering my brother and me, it's really noisy.

He finally found the reason for his irritability and restlessness over the past few days.

She's just not used to it; her life, which originally consisted only of herself and her brother, has been disrupted.

Ah, no, if I go out and socialize, my brother will have more time to spend with me.

That's right, that's exactly it.

Feng Huaijin closed his eyes, lingering longingly in Su Yu's gentle embrace.

But I'm not in the right state right now, and it wouldn't be good if I hurt my brother.
