Chapter 272 Socially anxious master vs. sickly disciple 47

He looked at her quietly without saying a word. His originally dark red pupils were covered with a layer of watery mist, like the rugged sea surface under the sunlight.

The corners of Ji Xiao's eyes were dyed with a scorching red, which diminished his cold temperament a lot. The violence that had not yet spread in the man's eyes slowly dissipated.

"Bang!"

Quan Jiu put the bed on the floor of the tavern, with a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.

As she moved, the chains were pulled, making a crisp rustling sound.

Ji Xiao's eyes were fixed on the woman's smooth forehead which was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

The bed was big and heavy, much heavier than an ordinary bed. She had carried it for such a long time, and her fair face was a little rosier than usual. The woman's black eyes were watery, her red lips were slightly open, and she was breathing heavily, but she was staring at him straight.

He looked down and saw her ankles which were rubbed raw from the friction with the chains.

He knew how tender every inch of her skin was.

Sometimes, if the kiss was a little hard, large areas of fair skin would turn red all day long, not to mention dragging a heavy chain weighing more than ten pounds for most of the night.

Because of walking for a long time, the tender skin where the shackles were placed had shed a layer of leather, revealing fresh flesh with a pink tinge.

Ji Xiao pursed his lips and suddenly wanted to ask her if it hurt.

But when he looked up, he found that the woman who was always crying out in pain seemed to have not noticed her own injuries at all.

Her eyes were clear and clean.

She was looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, Ji Xiao suddenly felt that he might really be drunk.

The venomous snake that had been coiled around his chest for years, its fangs bared and claws snarled, retracted its scarlet tongue, and fell into hibernation, no longer biting his internal organs with its fangs. It was like a drowning pedestrian taking its first breath of fresh air...

He was carrying a pot of wine, staggering towards her, and stopped in front of her.

"Why not untie it?"

She has a magical weapon in her hand, so if she is determined to escape, she has a chance of success.

As soon as Ji Xiao approached, Quan Jiu could smell the strong smell of alcohol on the man.

She sniffed and said calmly:

"I thought you'd be angry."

It’s not that I’m afraid you’ll be angry, it’s that I think you’ll be angry.

The former still contains a hint of fear, while the latter is all about following your heart.

It’s not that I don’t dare to make you angry, it’s that I don’t want to make you angry.

As the lord of the demon world, everyone feared and terrified him. As soon as he showed signs of anger, a group of people would kneel down and kowtow in fear, fearing that he would start a massacre. They asked him to calm down, just because they didn't want him to kill people and bring disaster to innocent people.

But she was the only one standing in the watery moonlight, her eyes clear and bright, meeting his gaze without a trace of fear in her eyes.

She simply didn't want to make him angry.

There was a little dust on the tip of the woman's nose and cheeks, probably picked up from somewhere on the way to find him. She sniffed crisply, like a lovable dirty little cat.

Ji Xiao felt a slight itch on his fingertips, and suddenly wanted to touch her head.

And he did just that.

The black hair feels very good, soft and smooth, better than the finest silk.

She seemed to be surprised by his sudden move and was stunned for a second, her eyes looking a little dull.

The moonlight is hazy and the candlelight flickers.

The man's action of touching his head did not contain any complicated emotions between men and women. It was as if he was just a lonely soul who wanted to touch another shining existence.

The moon behind him was as cool as water, shining on hundreds of houses, but he only felt that she was shining brightly.

The big and the small looked at each other in the moonlight, their eyes brighter.

How can there be such a stupid person.

Ji Xiao's eyes deepened a little.

Although she was kidnapped by him, she had no complaints. She just made the best of it and spent every day like a lazy cat, reading and taking a nap in his yard.

Obviously she had the most reason to hate him, but she silently moved the bed and walked around in the middle of the night, and told him seriously, "Ji Xiao, I think you will be angry."

Quan Jiu always felt that Ji Xiao's eyes were very complicated at this moment, but she couldn't understand it.

The man who was standing upright suddenly bent his knees slightly and squatted down.

She saw him take out the key and insert it into the lock of the shackles. With a slight sound of the spring, the chain that had been wrapped around her for many days slowly fell to the ground.

The huge pub is still open.

When the demons in groups of three or four carried the bed in from Quanjiu, they had been hiding in the corner and looking at her and Ji Xiao.

And now, the most noble man in the entire demon world, the Demon Lord who has the best chance of unifying the six realms, slowly squatted at the woman's feet and gently untied her shackles.

After Ji Xiao threw away the chain, he did not stand up immediately. He took out gauze and gold wound medicine from the space, and lowered his head to treat the abrasion on Quan Jiu's ankle.

The entire tavern seemed to be still, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The man's deep facial features looked even more handsome in the moonlight. His long eyelashes were like a row of small fans, casting a layer of shadow under his eyes. He looked focused, as if he was completing a matter of life and death concerning the six realms.

But everyone present knew that he was just bandaging the wound of a frail and beautiful woman.

"hiss……"

When the mixture of powder and pink blood flowed down, Quan Jiu took a breath of cold air.

Ji Xiao lowered his head and kissed her delicate ankle: "Be patient."

The two of them were silent until he finished bandaging his wounds and stood up again. Only then did the demons around him, who seemed to be motionless, dare to breathe normally.

"Everyone get out."

Ji Xiao glanced at the guests in the tavern, and the aura unique to the Demon Lord was fully unleashed. The demons who had previously not known his identity were now looking at him in shock, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Without the other people, the tavern finally became quiet again.

After Ji Xiao bandaged Quan Jiu's wound, he turned back into the cold and indifferent Demon Lord. He didn't speak to her, but just drank one jar of wine after another.

Quan Jiu did not disturb him, but just sat quietly by the side.

When the entire tavern was almost empty, Ji Xiao's eyes were finally filled with drunkenness. His eyes were blurred. He threw away the empty jar of wine and opened another one.

But because he was very drunk, several shadows appeared in front of the wine jar. He raised his hand several times but couldn't even touch the edge of the wine jar.

Quan Jiu opened the cork for him and handed the jar of wine to him.

Ji Xiao seemed to have finally remembered that there was someone else. He stared at Quan Jiu blankly, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"This is your last chance."

He was really drunk, and even when saying this sentence, he paused several times.

He is drunk.

If she wants to run, this is her best chance.

He didn't want her to leave, but he couldn't control himself. As soon as she showed any signs of wanting to leave, or got close to other people, he couldn't help but want to lock her in his small dark room...

He didn't want her to see anyone but him.

He didn't like her smiling at others. She was so charming when she smiled. She could only be his...
