Li Wan Heng Jin

"Meeting is fate. What's your name? I can't keep calling you Bing Tuozi, right? It would make me seem rude."

"What's that trick of yours? Can you teach me? As a thank you, I'll treat you to a drink of my century-old Tutu wine. The Tutu wine, unique to the demon world, is very interesting."

"Ice Tuozi! Why don't you come with me back to the Demon Realm as a guest? Our kind and benevolent Demon Lord might be so pleased by your pretty face that he might heal your expressionless face."

"I've never met anyone as frugal with words as you are. Hey, that's really interesting."

…

Under Li Wan's tireless mumbling, Heng Jin finally spoke: "Please, Demon Lord, don't make things difficult for me."

"You can talk, huh? You have a pretty nice voice, but you've made a mistake. The wise and mighty Lord Demon is so busy with his affairs, how could he possibly have the leisure to come here and fight with you?"

"If the Demon Lord wants to conceal his identity and play tricks on others, he'd better hide the Ice Soul."

Li Wan retracted Bingpo and stopped, saying, "I've heard of your abilities for a long time and wanted to spar with you in martial arts, but there were many inconveniences. It's not convenient to do it openly, so I can only seize the opportunity to block you. These past three days have been the most enjoyable time for me to fight. I hope you forgive me if I offend you."

"It's rare to meet a worthy opponent, no."

"We've talked and fought, how about we be friends?"

"don't want."

Heng Jin slipped away immediately after saying this.

The subsequent scenes also show the two people sparring in different places.

She was enthusiastic and happy every day, always talking non-stop to tease him during a fight, but he was still very quiet, with a stern face all day long, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad. He would just say goodbye to her after the fight and then slip away.

Until she invited him to drink under the full moon for the first time, she said she would bring him the Tutu wine she brewed herself.

On the day of the full moon, he was delayed by discussing matters with the Emperor of Heaven and arrived two hours late. He thought she would not wait for him, but she was still sitting on the clouds.

"I've been waiting for you here for two hours! Ice Tuozi, why are you here just now? Do you know how much work I've been scrambling to get this little free time? You have to make up for the cold wind I've been blowing while waiting for you. Either drink three glasses of wine! Or be my friend! Your choice!"

Heng Jin sat down next to her, picked up the three glasses of wine she pushed over, and drank them all.

She hung her head in frustration. "I thought you were different from others."

"What?"

"You'd rather drink three glasses of wine than be my friend. Is it because you care that I'm a demon and you're an immortal?"

Glancing at her frustrated and lost face, Heng Jin quickly responded, "No!"

"What is that?"

"I don't care about the distinction between immortals and demons. In my eyes, all beings in the six realms are the same, divided only by good and evil. Although I haven't promised to be your friend, I do consider you a friend in my heart. You are very interesting. The reason I didn't promise you is because I was afraid that if I died in battle one day, you might be sad. It's better to maintain the status quo."

"Idiot! Maintain the status quo. I'd still be sad for you even if you died in battle. Instead of refusing to make friends over this, why not use the time you're wasting to improve your combat power? Aren't you quite talkative? Why are you always so stingy with your words?"

Heng Jin glanced at her and said nothing.

In fact, he was confused about the words in his mind and didn't know where to start.

Li Wan took out some snacks from the food box, cast a spell to make them float in front of her, and poured two glasses of Tutu wine.

Kneeling down facing the moon with his glass in hand, she pressed his glass into his hands, "Here, kneel beside me."

Heng Jin was puzzled, but did as she was told.

"The full moon is my witness. Let's drink this glass of wine. We will be good friends from now on."

"The full moon is my witness. Let's drink this glass of wine. We will be good friends from now on."

They drank till the end. Li Wan drank happily and turned the glass upside down. The serious Heng Jin saw this and followed her example.

She suddenly became playful and kowtowed to him, and he immediately followed suit and kowtowed to her.

Making sure that he would imitate her without any precautions, she bent down slightly and pretended to kowtow for the second time. Before she could do so, he had already finished and was staring blankly at her who was grinning from ear to ear.

"What are you laughing at? Is this a friendship gift from your demon world? It's really special."

"Yes, before performing the friendship ceremony, you should give the other party a generous betrothal gift." She said seriously.

Hearing this, Heng Jin felt around and found a bone whistle. She handed it to her and said, "This is a whistle made from the bones of a moon-crying bird. The sound is like the bird's cry and can reach thousands of miles away. I'm giving it to you. I didn't know I was going to give you a betrothal gift, but this is the most interesting thing I have. Don't despise it. I'll bring you something better another day."

"Bingtuozi, you're such a gullible fool." She waved the Moon Whistle at him. "I got it by tricking people into giving it to me. I won't give it back to you."

"What's wrong?" Heng Jin touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly, and smiled awkwardly, "I gave it to you, of course you don't have to return it."

"I was just teasing you. The people of the Demon Realm might really have friendship rituals, but I wouldn't know about them. Aside from my A-Cha and my friends the Beast, I probably won't have the chance to have other friends. The prejudices of the outside world and the dignity that I must always maintain as a Demon Realm king are both mountains that cannot be overcome."

"The Ah Cha you're talking about is Cha Suxun, the Lord of the Netherworld?"

"Yes, you know him too? I was able to sneak out for so long to see you tonight thanks to Ah Cha pretending to be me and staying in the Demon Realm pretending to handle government affairs. Otherwise, if those old men in the Demon Realm knew about it, they would definitely not let me go. Bingtuozi, I told you this because I truly regard you as a friend, so please don't tell anyone."

"Also? I've always kept my mouth shut, don't worry."

"My engagement with A-Cha is known to everyone in the Demon Realm and the Underworld. I didn't know that you in the Heaven Realm also knew about it, so I'm a little surprised."

"I fight for peace in the six realms, so naturally I understand more, especially the masters of each realm. You have such a good relationship with him, aren't you afraid that he'll find out that he helped you escape? Are you jealous and angry because you drank with me under the moonlight?"

"He was a little jealous when we left, but I've already coaxed him into it. Ah Cha knows me best, he knows I like making friends, and he knew from the beginning that I wanted to compete with you. I'm honest, and he understands. Besides, I was only insisting on being your friend so that I could learn martial arts from you, not for any other reason."

…

At this time, Li Wan and Heng Jin were just good friends, and they both came simply to learn martial arts techniques. So on this pleasant night, they talked about everything from rare spells to magical weapons and treasures, and did not part ways until dawn.

After coming out of the first scroll, Heng Jin immediately teleported her into the second scroll.

At this time, there are no tree houses or peach trees in the forbidden area of ​​the Demon Realm. There are only red spider lilies blooming all over the ground.

They sat around on the tender grass beside the stream, with a large wicker low table in the middle, on which were placed fine wine and delicious food.

Yuanli sat between Cha Suxun and Heqi, smiling happily. When Cha Suxun looked at Hengjin, there was always a distant and polite smile on his face, while Heqi, who was next to Azhi, had a hostile look in his eyes.

"Heqi, you can't be so rude to guests. What's that look in your eyes?" She leaned towards Heqi and whispered.

"Hmph! I don't like him! Ever since Ah Li became friends with him, she's been abandoning her husband and brother. Whenever she has free time, she leaves us behind to go fight with him. Ah Zhi's little free time was originally mine!"

When Heqi said this, except for the four words "abandoning husband and brother", she did not lower her voice, and the people present heard it clearly.

"I'm sorry, my brother is a very good child. It's just that I don't spend much time with him, so I'm a little upset. Please don't be offended, Emperor."

Afterward, Yuanli smiled and patiently explained to her brother, "Heqi, A-Zi did sacrifice time with you, but didn't A-Zi tell you beforehand? A-Zi needs to compete more with better people, identify weaknesses, and improve his martial arts so that he can better protect our home. You can blame A-Zi, but you can't be so rude to guests. This is not gentlemanly."

Hearing this, He Qi stood up and bowed to Heng Jin, apologizing, "Emperor Heng Jin, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Heng Jin stood up and returned the greeting, smiling faintly, "It's okay, please sit down."

After sitting down with Heqi, Hengjin spread out her right palm, and saw the miniature of two peach trees with intertwined branches floating in her palm, and the fragrance of the sacred peach tree filled her nose.

"This is my gift for visiting you. Last time before we left, I promised to bring you a single blossom from the sacred peach tree to put in your vase, but I felt that a single blossom wouldn't be as spectacular as the whole tree, so I took the liberty of bringing it here. I hope you like it."

"This is too valuable. I can't accept it. When I said that last time, I was just thinking, 'I'll borrow a peach blossom from the sacred tree to invite you to visit the Demon Realm.'"

"I have a lot more. They're not very expensive, but they're beautiful and fragrant. Keep them."

"Even if you have more, I still know how rare the sacred peach blossoms are. I won't accept rewards without merit. Just pick one for me from your yard."

Heng Jin glanced at the Tutu wine on the table and said, "I originally wanted to exchange the sacred peach blossoms with you for more Tutu wine. If you only want one sacred peach blossom, I'm embarrassed to ask for it."

After that, Heng Jin sent her a telepathic message, "Don't reject me anymore. I can't find any excuses. Regardless of whether the betrothal gift during the full moon was made up by you, the moment you mentioned it, it existed. I said I would bring you something better next time. If you don't like it, I'll change it."

Upon hearing this, Yuanli immediately took the two sacred tree peach blossoms and said, "Then I won't be polite with you. I'll give you as much Tutu wine as you want. Come back for more when you're done."

"Okay, thank you. Lord Demon, remember to choose an open and bright spot to plant them. These two sacred peach trees are old and have grown too densely. The moment the sacred peach trees fall to the ground, they will take root and recover."

Yuanli looked around and transplanted a large patch of red spider lilies before planting the sacred peach tree in the open space.

The moment it landed on the ground, its branches grew wildly, instantly towering into the sky. Peach petals fell from the sky, and the rich fragrance of peach blossoms filled the entire valley.

After the peach blossoms on the sacred tree stabilized, she transplanted all the red spider lilies back, and found empty places to transplant the remaining ones.

She placed her palm on the thick trunk of the sacred peach tree. "This tree must be ten thousand years old, right? The branches are so thick and dense that you could even build a cabin on it."
