Chapter 239: He Huan Sect: Socially anxious master vs. sickly disciple 14

"Senior Brother Zuo is here too."

Ji Xiao seemed to have just seen Zuo Yao, his eyes covered with a layer of light mist.

Zuo Yao didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong at all, and grinned heartlessly.

"Junior Brother Xiao, you got up really early. I came to pay my respects to Master."

He glanced at the tray in Ji Xiao's hand, touched his belly, and smiled shyly.

"Is this breakfast? Is there any extra? I haven't eaten yet..."

The curvature of Ji Xiao's mouth corners remained unchanged:

"There's more in the kitchen, Brother Zuo, go quickly."

Zuo Yao nodded: "Great, I'll go right away. Junior Brother Xiao is really thoughtful."

After saying goodbye to Quan Jiu, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Quan Jiu was leaning against the head of the bed, tasting the seafood porridge that Ji Xiao had brought, so he didn't notice the man walking towards the door.

Ji Xiao's eyes were dark. He stretched out his hands to hold the door frame and pulled it inward.

"squeak……"

The door closed silently.

Zuo Yao’s back disappeared into the door frame.

The sunlight that originally shone into the house was completely blocked, the dust floating in the air hid the shadows, and the brightness in the room was reduced by 80%. Only the little light came through the window paper.

Quan Jiu looked up in confusion in the darkness, his cold features appearing even more profound.

"Ah Xiao, why did you close the door? It's better to open it so it's brighter..."

Ji Xiao's eyes were bottomless, like a dark night without a trace of light. He spoke in a normal tone:

"Just lock it up for now."

Quan Jiu paused holding the spoon and looked up at the figure standing by the door.

There was no light at all where Ji Xiao was standing. The man was wearing an ink-black robe, blending in with the chaotic darkness.

Quan Jiu couldn't see his expression, but he inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Ji Xiao slowly turned around, revealing a charming face...

The man's eyes were unpredictable, with the whites of his eyes swallowing up the outline of the black pupils, occupying most of the eye sockets.

It was this pair of strange eyes that kept staring at Quan Jiu.

Ji Xiao held a fixed smile on his face and walked towards her.

"Master, what do you think of...Senior Brother Zuo?"

Quan Jiu: “…”

Ji Xiao's entire aura changed, with a hint of cold oppression.

"Zuo Yao... he's kind and warm-hearted, quite a nice person."

She speaks the truth.

Ji Xiao slowly repeated her words: "Very good..."

He stood in front of Quan Jiu with his head down, looking down at her from above, and the sense of oppression around him became stronger and stronger.

The man's slender jade-like fingertips played with Quan Jiu's chin, and the icy temperature made Quan Jiu shiver.

"Then Master, who do you think is better... me or Senior Brother Zuo?"

The moment she entered the door, the smile she gave Zuo Yao was too dazzling.

Quan Jiu: “…”

What a rubbish question.

One is a son and the other is an apprentice, how can they be compared?

Seeing Quan Jiu's hesitation, the darkness in Ji Xiao's eyes became even more intense.

He lifted Quan Jiu's chin with his fingertips and rubbed it gently.

"Master, is it difficult to answer?"

His skin was very cool and damp, which inexplicably reminded Quan Jiu of the long python whose scales shone with cold light in the rainforest grass.

The long python circled around her body, spitting out its scarlet tongue, and it was ready to open its bloody mouth and bite off her head at any time.

Quan Jiu: "It's not difficult to answer."

Ji Xiao remained motionless, waiting for her answer.

Quan Jiu raised his hand and touched his dog's head:

"Of course you are more important."

How can an apprentice compare to a son?

The black mist in Ji Xiao's eyes dissipated a little, but the outline of his eyeballs was still unclear.

"You're too thin."

He stared at Quan Jiu's slender waist and took the empty bowl from her hand.

Quan Jiu's frame was originally small, and he had very little flesh on his body, so his clothes were one size smaller than those of an average man.

Quan Jiu touched his stomach and burped.

"I really can't eat anymore..."

The original owner had a very small appetite.

I don’t know what kind of porridge Ji Xiao cooked, but after drinking it, the internal energy that was blocked last night was unblocked a lot, my dantian felt warm, and the speed of my true energy circulation increased a bit.

Ji Xiao stopped when he saw that she really couldn't eat anymore.

"Ah Xiao, were you okay last night?"

Quan Jiu was a little worried and lifted his wrist to feel his pulse.

What happened last night was really weird.

When the two hands touched, Ji Xiao's cold palms gradually became warm.

Ji Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at her round and clean fingertips. His mouth felt inexplicably dry and he swallowed unconsciously.

"He" was not only as thin as a woman, but also smelled like plum candy. She swayed in front of him, and the sweet aroma of plum candy evaporated in the air.

He licked his dry lips with the tip of his scarlet tongue, and following his inner impulse, he held her wrist tightly with his backhand.

"Something's going on."

Ji Xiao stroked her slender wrist, his voice a little hoarse.

"Master, you've sucked away all my inner strength. I'm just a piece of crap now, so...

"You have to protect me well."

The man's deep and intoxicating voice sounded in her ears, inexplicably making people feel a sense of tenderness.

Quan Jiu held onto both of his arms and said seriously:

"You've lost all your inner strength?"

Damn it.

Others are cheating their fathers, but she is cheating her son.

Ji Xiao stretched out his index finger, and weak spiritual power lingered at his fingertips, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Quan Jiu: “!!!”

It’s so tragic!

Her internal strength is now at least ten thousand times that of Ji Xiao.

She sat up straight and looked serious:

"After you go down the mountain, you must follow me closely and never wander around casually."

Catching monsters is extremely dangerous. If Ji Xiao dies, she will be truly guilty of a grave sin.

Ji Xiao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the expression in his eyes. Where Quan Jiu couldn't see, a faint smile flashed in the man's eyes.

"Disciple obeys."

After saying goodbye to Quan Jiu, Ji Xiao walked straight towards the outer courtyard. Halfway there, he seemed to sense something, turned two corners, and came to a quiet place.

The big tree in the yard shook, and a colorful phoenix jumped out from the branches. When it landed, the phoenix turned into a human figure.

"My Lord."

The woman who had transformed into a human form knelt on one knee and bowed her head respectfully.

Ji Xiao said coldly: "How?"

"My subordinates were incompetent and accidentally left a suspect alive. I'm afraid the matter of the Godly Fall Secret Realm can no longer be concealed."

"waste."

Ji Xiao's eyes were cold, and a strange dark red flashed in his dark eyes. His robe moved with the wind. He stretched out his arms, and it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands appeared in the air, lifting the woman up from the ground.

“Your Majesty…”

The woman looked at Ji Xiao with longing eyes, her eyeballs bulging and bloodshot, but she did not resist and tried to arouse a little sympathy from the man.

Ji Xiao didn't even glance at her, and didn't even touch her skin with his fingertips, his disgust was obvious.

He twisted his wrist slightly, and a mournful bird cry rang out. A phantom of a colorful phoenix appeared in the sky, then broke into pieces, falling inch by inch in the air...

Quan Jiu suddenly stood up and looked towards the place where the bird was singing.
