Annoyance
Yiwu exhaled, stopped practicing, leaned her head back on the bed, and held her breath for a moment.
Jian Qinyuan hurriedly covered her with the quilt. Just as he stood up, Liu Yu walked into the room.
He glanced at the bed, paused, and quickly looked away. Jun Xuan's words just now echoed in his mind.
"Qin Mo has a lot of demonic energy in his body, which is not what a demon would do. Remember to be careful and keep an eye on him."
Liu Yu came back to his senses and handed over the small porcelain bottle in his hand. "Brother Jian, this is medicine for Qin Mo. One Xuanling Pill each morning and evening. Why not give him one now?"
"Okay, thank you Brother Liuyu." Jian Qinyuan opened the porcelain bottle and saw that each Xuanling Pill was the size of a thumb. There was no way an unconscious person could swallow it.
Just then, the immortal servant came in with a tray, brought tea and cups, and placed them on the table.
Jian Qinyuan strode over, opened an empty cup, and poured out a Xuanling Pill. "Please bring me a spoon, Immortal Servant. Thank you very much."
Gan Lin nodded and turned to get a spoon. Liu Yu instructed again, "There's also a hot water towel. Go to my room and get a set of clean clothes."
The Xuanling Pill melts when it comes into contact with water and quickly dissolves into half a bowl of dark brown medicinal juice.
After getting the spoon, Jian Qinyuan walked to the bedside with the medicine, "Thank you, Brother Liuyu, for helping him get up."
Yiwu held her breath, pretending she wasn't awake yet. Noticing Liuyu approaching, she tried her best to relax, but her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
Liu Yu bent down and stretched out his hand, gently passed it behind Yi Wu's neck, carefully helped her up, and leaned her against his arms.
Jian Qinyuan held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, and he had no other hand free. Liu Yu helped to pry open Yi Wu's mouth and pinched her jaw to make her tilt her head back.
Spoonful after spoonful of medicine was fed into Yiwu's mouth, and she couldn't swallow it fast enough, so the medicine dripped down the corners of her mouth. Seeing the medicine running down her neck and about to seep into her clothes, Liu Yu hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it off, causing Yiwu to stiffen.
Fearing that she would be exposed, Yi Wu immediately relaxed her body and pretended nothing had happened, not noticing that Liu Yu's fingertips had also paused briefly.
The person was in his arms, and he would be able to tell if there was even a moment of abnormality.
After feeding the patient the medicine, Liu Yu pretended not to notice anything and gently put the patient down. Gan Lin came in with hot water and a handkerchief, and also brought someone to hold a set of light blue clothes.
Jian Qinyuan put down the cup, took the clothes from the immortal servant, and began to drive him away. "Thank you, Brother Liuyu. I won't bother you with such trivial matters as cleaning the wound and applying medicine. Go and rest first."
Liu Yu looked at the person on the bed, turned around and walked out with the immortal servant, "Okay, I'll go take care of some chores first. If Brother Jian needs anything, you can always ask them to come find me."
Jian Qinyuan thanked the man profusely and sent him out the door, closing the doors and windows. He waited until the footsteps outside had faded away and there was no more movement outside the door before he brought the hot water to the bedside.
He lowered his voice and called Yi Wu: "Can you do it yourself?"
Yi Wu opened her eyes, her heart in turmoil, "Can you see me like this?"
"Forget that your hand is injured. Okay, okay, I'll do it." Jian Qinyuan took the handkerchief out of the water and wrung it, then gently lifted her sleeve, avoiding the cut on her wrist, and carefully wiped the blood off Yiwu's arm.
"What should I do with your hand? Can it recover? Don't let it become disabled in the future..."
"Alas, why are you doing this? Aren't you very strong? How could you not defeat the fox demon? Could it be..."
Thinking of a possibility, Jian Qinyuan's eyes widened, "Could it be that you deliberately let yourself be captured by her, and deliberately used the excuse of being injured just to sneak into Ji Ming?"
One of his hands was not paying attention and pressed hard on Yi Wu's wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
Jian Qinyuan quickly raised it up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Yi Wu rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
The house returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of water and no other sounds.
In the yard, a figure stood under a tree, with a completely different scene appearing in his mind. A pair of bony hands were flipping through the ancient books of the demon clan.
"Didn't you go and save her? Why is she so badly injured? The immortals no longer have the life-extending elixir. What if they can't refine it?"
The accusatory tone made the other party unhappy, and the voice was filled with a hint of anger.
"Can't you see that she deliberately let herself be captured by the fox demon and deliberately put herself in this state, just to go to Ji Ming. So, she went through so much trouble to come back to you, aren't you happy?"
Before Liu Yu regained consciousness, he cursed the other person.
"ill."
Jiufang Mingyuan threw the ancient book aside with a "bang", and the face under the mask was as dark as water.
Ancient books only recorded how terrifying the Devouring Magic was, but did not mention the consequences of practicing the Devouring Magic or the damage it would cause to the body. He had no choice but to ask the high priest.
"Why are you suddenly interested in Devouring Magic?" the High Priest said, wary and disapproving. "The poison in you will eventually be cured. Not being able to use the God-Slaying Whip is just a matter of the moment. There's no need to worry about it. And you absolutely cannot go down the evil path..."
Once he started rambling, he would never stop. Jiufang Mingyuan interrupted him in time, "I'm not trying to cultivate Devouring Magic. I'm just thinking about how to deal with someone who cultivates Devouring Magic. This technique is extremely strange, and I haven't seen it before."
"I see……"
The high priest pondered for a moment, his expression softening. "Young Master, don't worry. No one who practices Devouring Magic will ever have a good end."
"There are two main reasons why the demons classify Devouring Magic as a forbidden technique. First, this technique relies on devouring others to become stronger. Demons naturally devour each other, hence the name Devouring Magic. However, cannibalism is unacceptable, hence the name. Second, the body's carrying capacity is limited. The more it devours, the greater the pressure on the body. At best, it can lead to insanity, or at worst, it can explode and die."
"If you encounter someone who practices Devouring Magic, all you need to do is control them and combine your strength to inject magic power into them, causing them to explode and die."
Jiufang Mingyuan listened attentively, and then, remembering Yiwu's devouring of the demon race, he continued to ask, "Can the Devouring Magic only devour the demon race?"
"No," the high priest shook his head, lost in reminiscence. "The demon clan once had a remarkable individual who mastered the art of devouring magic to such perfection that he could devour anything, whether it was demons, immortals, monsters, mortals, or anything else that could help him improve his cultivation. He could make it his own."
"In order to reach a higher level of cultivation, he even used the Devouring Magic to devour and reshape his own body. However, he ultimately died after accidentally devouring something that was incompatible with his own.
Jiufang Mingyuan's face was solemn, and he remained silent. The High Priest continued his earnest admonition, "Young Master, please do not attempt to practice Devouring Magic. No one who practices Devouring Magic can live past a hundred years. You only have half of your soul left, so you absolutely cannot take any risks."
"You still have the time to worry about these things? You need to find the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl as soon as possible, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Jiufang Mingyuan felt a headache from his scolding, so he took off his mask and rubbed his temples.
Sometimes, he really wanted to switch places with Liu Yu and spend a few days of carefree life, but it was just a thought.
No one knew where Yiwu had learned the magic of devouring magic, or when she had started to practice it, but she was born different from ordinary people, with a natural constitution for magic weapons, so it would definitely not be so easy for her to explode and die. Jiufang Mingyuan reluctantly felt relieved.
Yiwu's nose suddenly itched, and she couldn't help but sneeze. Jian Qinyuan joked, "I'm afraid your young master is missing you."
"What nonsense." Yi Wu frowned and refuted, but she couldn't help thinking of that person in her heart.
There were a lot of blood stains on the clothes, most of which actually belonged to other people. Yiwu only had some wounds on her arms, which she cleaned up quickly.
Jian Qinyuan threw the handkerchief back into the water, opened the Qingyuan ointment, and carefully applied it to her wound. "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you notice that the way he looked at you was wrong? If he wasn't worried about you, why would he run to save you so anxiously?"
"He's not worried about me..." Yi Wu's face was gloomy, and she felt annoyed. "He's just like this because I look like an old friend of his, that's all."
After saying this, she was shocked to realize that Jiufang Mingyuan did not execute her even after discovering her identity. Perhaps this was the reason.
"Old friend? I haven't heard that Jiufang Mingyuan has anyone he loves. Is he lying to you?"
Jian Qinyuan put down the ointment, took the clothes and handed them to her, "It's Liuyu's clothes, you can make do with them."
Yi Wu reached out to take it, curling her lips, "Why did he lie to me? Was it necessary?"
"He's afraid you'll find out what he's thinking of you." Jian Qinyuan shrugged, got up and walked out. "Okay, you should have a good rest. I'll go find something to eat."
The door opened and closed again, leaving Yi Wu alone in the room.
She cast a spell to change her dirty clothes, and after putting on the light blue dress, her heart became even more confused.
Even though she had been away from Ji Ming for three hundred years, Yi Wu still cared about Liu Yu when she saw him again. However, many things had happened recently, and Jiufang Mingyuan had made her quite worried, and she couldn't help but think of him.
A person only has one heart, it can't hold two people, besides...
Forget it, I couldn’t think of a result. Yi Wu sat up, drove the messy thoughts out of my mind, and continued to practice to absorb the demon pill.
When the poisonous scorpion and snake queen's demon pills were completely absorbed, the toxins in Yiwu's body almost disappeared. She hadn't figured out the reason yet, but she just felt relaxed all over and her cultivation level increased greatly.
The scorpion and the snake queen were both extremely poisonous creatures. Perhaps after absorbing their demon cores, my physique would change, and I would no longer be afraid of any toxins. This wasn't impossible, and I would know when I found an opportunity to verify it.
If this were true, Yi Wu might be able to remove the poison from Jiufang Mingyuan. However, once he recovered, he could use the God-Slaying Whip again to fight against the immortals, which would be very disadvantageous to the immortals.
After a huge exhaustion and much annoyance, Yi Wu lay back on the bed and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She often slept in this bed when she was little. Whenever her father was busy, he would send her to the Rain God to take care of her. Until one day, the Rain God picked up a boy about her age and brought him back. Then she finally had a playmate.
The Rain God said he was made of glass and named him Liuyu. Liuyu was handsome and kind since childhood, and he was very obedient and caring towards Yiwu.
She had just dreamed that she and Liu Yu had expressed their feelings to each other, when suddenly a man wearing a golden hollow mask appeared and grabbed Yi Wu away, startling her so much that she opened her eyes and woke up.
