Just as he was about to get close, Qi Yu, who seemed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and kicked him off the bed.
Qi Yu summoned the Compassionate Sword, threw off the covers, and glared fiercely at Feng Xiao.
The boy who had been kicked away looked at Qi Yu with a wronged expression, his red pupils clear and innocent, as if he hadn't been the one who had just taken liberties with Qi Yu.
Why did Xiaoyu kick me?
"Stop pretending! I'm asking you, what did you do back then, and why did a fire suddenly appear inside me?" With a flick of her finger, a flame appeared in the dimly lit room.
The boy looked at the cluster of flames, raised his hand, and the flames flew to his hand, circled once, and returned to Qi Yu's body. He said softly, "I don't remember."
Qi Yu: "?"
"All I know is that you are my destined one." Feng Xiao's eyes lingered as he looked at her with affection. "Between us, there is a symbiotic contract."
"What?!" Qi Yu exclaimed in surprise and disbelief. "What does symbiotic contract mean?"
"Of course, we'll live and die together."
Qi Yu's head was about to explode; she couldn't understand why this man, whom she had only met once, would make such a deadly contract with her.
Although she has the system's saintly aura that can heal her injuries, she will be finished if Feng Xiao dies!
Although she wasn't afraid of death, she didn't want to die in such a muddled way.
"How can I break this contract?!"
Feng Xiao blinked her innocent, uncolored phoenix eyes. "I don't remember. I'll probably have to wait until I regain my memory..."
"Aaaaaah!" Qi Yu frantically shook the silver-haired boy, "Get your memories back right now!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Feng Xiao, who had been being held, transformed back into a small white bird and flew to Qi Yu's shoulder.
Qi Yuqiang suppressed his anger and opened the door.
Outside the door was Gou Dan, who had already washed and cleaned himself. The dust and dirt on his face had been washed away, revealing a clean face. Although he was thin, he was still quite handsome. After changing into the Lingyuan disciple's robes, it was hard to tell that he was a little beggar who could only survive by stealing things not long ago.
Dog Egg hesitated before saying, "I'm afraid to sleep..."
Qi Yu sighed and invited him into the room.
The little white bird glared at Gou Dan, chirping incoherently. Qi Yu slapped him into the blankets.
Qi Yu made Gou Dan sit on the wooden stool next to the table and said, "Be strong. You are a cultivation genius with a single spiritual root. There's nothing to be afraid of about demons. As you cultivate slowly, those demons will be no match for you."
Seeing that Gou Dan still looked bewildered, Qi Yu sighed. "Bound to a Mother Goddess System, it feels like I'm really becoming a mother."
"Hey, when did your mother leave?"
Dog Egg twisted his hand and whispered, "Last year."
"And what about your father?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him. I've been with my mother since I was little." Gou Dan hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade pendant that was half broken from his sleeve. "This was given to me by my mother before she passed away. It should have been given to her by my father."
Qi Yu took the jade pendant. The pendant was entirely crimson red and carved with a bird about to take flight. The character "弦" was engraved on the back.
Gou Dan said, "My father hasn't come looking for me all these years, so there's no use keeping it. I'll give it to you, sister, as a thank you gift for saving me today. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Qi Yu looked at Gou Dan and, seeing that he genuinely wanted to thank her, accepted the red jade.
"No matter what, this is the last thing your mother left you. I'll keep it for you for now, and you can take it back when you have another way to repay me, okay?"
A tear flashed in Gou Dan's eyes, which he wiped away with his sleeve and nodded in agreement.
After Gou Dan left, Feng Xiao in the quilt transformed back into his youthful form. He picked up the piece of red jade, examined it for a moment, and said, "You can keep it safe."
Qi Yu said dismissively, "Of course I'll keep it safe; I'll have to return it to him later."
"Besides, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet." She fired off three questions in quick succession: "When will you regain your memories? Can that symbiotic contract be broken? Are you really so willing to bind your life to mine?"
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu." Feng Xiao smiled, not answering Qi Yu's first two questions, and said mysteriously, "Besides, my fire can be of great help."
Qi Yu, thinking of Wang Yaoshi who was devoured by the fire phoenix in an instant, hesitated and asked, "What exactly are you?"
A hint of sadness crept into Feng Xiao's eyes as he said aggrievedly, "I'm not a thing, I'm Xiao Yu's destined one."
Hiss... Qi Yu smoothed the goosebumps off her body, not understanding how she had gotten involved with such a little bird demon who spouted cheesy pickup lines and liked to take advantage of her from time to time.
Feng Xiao yawned and said, "I need to continue my slumber. Don't worry, Xiao Yu, I will come out to save you if there is any danger."
As he spoke, he slowly transformed into a little white bird and fell from the sky.
Qi Yu had no choice but to catch the little white bird and carefully place it on the bed.
...
The next day at dawn, Qi Yu went to the Scripture Pavilion after breakfast. Although she also wanted to be a lazy bum who just ate and slept, the natural disasters in the real world mentioned by the system were still on her mind, and she dared not slack off.
The dean said that the Five Elements Chaos Spiritual Root is rare, so there are very few suitable cultivation methods, and she needs to find one herself.
The library contains a wide variety of books, including not only internal energy cultivation methods and martial arts manuals, but also many miscellaneous books such as spiritual plant cultivation, weapon crafting guide, talisman drawing basics, and elixir recipes.
Qi Yu picked up a book of pills and flipped through it casually. There were few pharmacists on the Wuji Continent, and it was difficult for cultivators to have a pharmacist accompany them when they went out to train. If they were injured, the pills from the alchemist were very important. Also, because the pills were extremely difficult to refine, the alchemist had a very high status.
