Chapter 14 Chapter 14 “Such a rare opportunity, I really want it…
Biqing didn't think much about it and waited quietly for Xuan Yi to wipe the residue off her hands.
She suddenly felt that Xuan Yi today was very different from before.
Biqing frowned slightly: Maybe it was because she was injured and the snake venom in her body was not completely eliminated, so she had hallucinations.
"alright."
Xuan Yi released his clean hand, and when he let go, an inexplicable feeling of nostalgia surged in his heart.
The faint scent of bamboo drifted past Xuan Yi's nose before disappearing.
Xuan Yi was a little dazed, realizing that he had lost his focus. His eyes quickly swept over the wolf fur covering Biqing's legs, trying to cover up his gaffe.
Bi Qing caught Xuan Yi's expression, took off the fur coat covering her legs, and handed it to Xuan Yi, who had only worn a shirt for the past few days. "You're wearing so little, you must be cold, right?"
Xuan Yi took the fur coat and wrapped the person in front of him tightly. "We wolf demons are least afraid of the cold."
Biqing suddenly realized: No wonder they had to go to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to find a way to survive.
There are only a handful of demons that can withstand the severe cold. Xuan Yi and his companions will definitely not be disturbed by any demons if they live there.
I just don't know what the water source there is.
Remembering Xuan Yi saying he still needed to take medicine for ten days, Bi Qing asked incredulously, "Xuan Yi...are you really going to take me with you?"
Ten days is really a long time.
Xuan Yi was speechless, then said, "I've been leading them on this journey for so long. What difference does a few more or less days make? The road ahead will only get more dangerous. A few more days to recuperate and gather our strength would be perfect for us."
"This place is guarded by the Zhaoye clan. This is a rare opportunity that I cannot wait to have."
Xuan Yi said, "Don't overthink it. Ah Jiu and the others aren't much stronger than you. Ah Jue and I have to focus on taking care of them anyway. You can just stay here and recuperate. If you recover quickly, you'll be helping me."
Biqing was originally very touched. Xuan Yi did not despise her and had never thought of abandoning her here.
But after hearing Xuan Yi's next words, the touching feeling in Biqing's heart instantly disappeared.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Biqing politely told Xuan Yi to leave: "I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Hearing Biqing's distressed tone, Xuanyi assumed her wound was still aching. He obediently left the room, fearing that Biqing's emotional ups and downs would affect her wound and slow her recovery.
In the following days, Xuan Yi did not show up again, and it was Liu Que who accompanied Bi Qing.
Mo Jue would occasionally come to visit, and then leave with something to say but hesitant.
Bi Qing, who was sitting beside the couch, was really confused and asked Liu Que beside her: "What happened to Master Mo Jue?"
"He's sick, ignore him."
Liu Que stuffed the cake into Bi Qing's hands and said, "Xuan Yi said you like this, so I made some more."
She sighed, "It would be great if Mo Jue could think of me for a moment. All he has in his mind is his good brother."
Bi Qing didn't dare to ask too much about Liu Que's personal affairs. She pretended not to hear what she was saying and abruptly changed the subject: "Miss Liu Que, I haven't seen Xuan Yi for several days. Do you know where he went?"
"Resting in the backyard."
Liuque tugged at the wolf fur coat that was about to slip off Biqing's shoulders and asked, "How could the demonic power on the wolf fur have faded so much?"
Biqing lowered her head guiltily, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to raise her eyes.
"Xuan Yi is a thousand-year-old demon. He's not as fragile as you think. He'll recover after a few days of rest. Don't worry too much."
Liu Que changed the subject and said, "Thank you for saving Fu Liu. If you hadn't forgiven me that day, Fu Liu would have turned into a pile of bones and embarked on the road of reincarnation."
"It's just a piece of cake."
Biqing sighed: "If I had my spiritual power, I would definitely be able to help you repel the snake."
"I get angry when I mention snakes!"
Liu Que couldn't contain her anger. "I think Xuan Yi and Mo Jue must be old! Their noses are so blunt! They didn't even notice the long snake sneaking through the black fog into Zhaoye Forest!"
"If I hadn't discovered it, I wouldn't have gone to help you." Xuan Yi's voice arrived before he even showed up.
Liuque's mouth corners almost dropped to the ground: "How dare you say that!"
"It's your Zhaoye clan's business."
Xuan Yi walked over the threshold slowly, glanced at Liu Que who was sitting on the couch, and his gaze stopped at the wolf fur draped over Bi Qing's shoulders.
"What's wrong with me? I took you in out of kindness, so it's only natural that you should help me! What's more, you and I have known each other for over a thousand years!"
Liu Que resisted the urge to fan Xuan Yi, and pouted: "Hmph! Ungrateful old monster!" She left the house angrily.
Biqing and Xuanyi were the only ones left in the room. Biqing picked up the cake beside her and handed it to Xuanyi, looking a little embarrassed. "You, you haven't tasted it yet, right? It's delicious..."
Xuan Yi shook his head slightly. He could see Biqing's discomfort and couldn't help but worry: "Biqing, are you still feeling unwell?"
“No, no.”
Biqing withdrew her hand from the cake and said in a trembling voice, "Have you been resting these days? It's me who made you consume so much demonic energy."
"Don't listen to Liuque's nonsense."
Xuan Yi said calmly, "It's just that I haven't had such a good rest in a long time. I just slept in for a few days."
Biqing looked up and met Xuanyi's eyes, trying to find a flaw in them.
The golden-blue mandarin duck eyes were as soft as a pool of spring water, which made Biqing lose consciousness for a moment.
Is this...Xuan Yi's eyes?
She clearly remembered that those eyes were as sharp as knives, cold and ruthless.
Her heart suddenly started beating wildly, and Biqing felt that her breathing became difficult.
Biqing looked away in confusion.
There must be some residual snake venom in his body that caused this hallucination.
Under Biqing's gaze, Xuanyi's heart beat wildly, like the surging waters of a river.
Not wanting Biqing to notice, he didn't avoid Biqing's gaze and met her eyes.
There was a knock on the door outside, interrupting the delicate atmosphere between the two.
"I'll go take a look."
Xuan Yi went to open the door, adjusting his mood at the same time.
Fu Liu and Ajiu opened the door and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that Biqing needs to rest and no one can disturb her?"
Although Xuan Yi's words were harsh, he did not mean to blame him.
But the oppressive feeling emanating from him still made Ah Jiu tuck his tail between his legs and say, "I saw Lord Mo Jue coming here all day long. I, I'm worried about Sister Biqing..."
"Ajiu?"
Biqing leaned forward, trying to see who was coming over Xuan Yi's tall figure.
Biqing's view was completely blocked by Xuan Yi, and she couldn't see anything at all. She covered her abdomen and prepared to stand up.
Xuan Yi heard rustling sounds behind him and led Ajiu and Fu Liu to the bedside: "This won't happen again."
"Sister Biqing!"
Ajiu shook off the small package on his back, and the contents scattered all over the ground: a few demon bones and a dozen grains of corn.
He nudged the bone with his nose, and the bone rolled a few times and stopped at Biqing's feet.
Ah Jiu wagged his tail and said proudly, "This is what we prepared for you!"
Glancing at Fu Liu, who was huddled silently aside, Jiu poked the corn kernels with his claws and said, "This was prepared by the stinky bird demon!"
"Thank you. Let's save these for you kids."
Biqing couldn't help laughing. She bent down, picked up a grain of corn, and handed it to Fu Liu: "You must have worked very hard to save these corns, right?"
Thinking back to the day when the little bird demon and the wolf cubs had an argument over corn, she knew very well how precious corn was in the demon world.
I wonder how long it will take Fu Liu to save these dozen grains of corn.
“No, no!”
Fu Liu flew in front of Biqing, closed his eyes, and mustered up the courage to say, "Fairy! Thank you, thank you for saving me! I'm sorry for what happened before!"
"I didn't take it seriously."
Biqing raised her left hand to hold Fu Liu, and gently tapped Fu Liu's furry little head with her right hand. She asked softly, "How is your recovery?"
"I'm fine now!"
Fu Liu was afraid that Biqing wouldn't believe him, so he flapped his wings hard and flew around in front of Biqing, blowing the corn kernels in the bag to the ground like flowers scattered by a fairy.
"Damn bird demon, did you do this on purpose?!"
Ah Jiu used his paw to hold down the corn that passed by his feet: "It's all fallen to the ground and covered in dust! How can you expect Sister Biqing to eat it?"
Biqing was at a loss for words when she heard this. She bent down to clean up the mess, but Xuanyi got there first and squatted on the ground, picking up the scattered corn kernels.
Xuan Yi said as he packed up, "Biqing has some cakes. You can take these back later."
"Cakes?" Fu Liu landed on Bi Qing's shoulder and asked, "Are these cakes made by the king?"
"yes!"
Biqing took out a piece and passed it to Fu Liu's mouth: "Miss Liuque made it delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious pastries even in the heaven!"
Fu Liu leaned in and sniffed, his eyes suddenly lighting up: "Scorpion..."
Feeling a chill on his neck, Fu Liu forced himself to swallow back the word "zi" stuck in his throat.
Looking up at Xuan Yi's cold and gloomy eyes, Fu Liu shrank his head in fear.
Scorpion cake... the king doesn't usually make it...
Xuan Yi calmly picked up the corn kernels and put them back into the bag, placing them together with the bones. He tied it up again and handed it to Jiu: "Take it back and share it with the cubs. Don't fight."
Ajiu lowered his head in frustration, said "Oh" in a sullen tone, and lay at Biqing's feet, unwilling to leave.
Fu Liu looked at him, flapped his wings and landed on Biqing's legs, finding a comfortable position to accompany Biqing quietly.
Soon, the giant rat demon came over with a bowl of medicine. Jiu smelled the odor and covered his nose with his paw: "It smells terrible!"
Biqing smiled and took the bowl of medicine.
The dark medicine in the bowl reflected her melancholy and pale face.
Biqing frowned as she felt a dull pain in her abdomen, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Xuan Yi gave the huge rat demon a look, and the rat demon immediately understood. He took the medicine bowl from Bi Qing's hand and said, "Ajiu, Fuliu, I roasted some snake meat when I came here! While it's still hot, help me share it with the little demons!"
When Jiu heard there was cooked meat to eat, he almost jumped up from the ground and spun around excitedly: "Great, great! Let's go! I haven't eaten roasted meat in a long time!"
"Stupid wolf demon! Don't just take care of yourself! Remember to send some to the fairy!" Fu Liu reminded.
Biqing smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness."
"She doesn't eat these." Xuan Yi decisively rejected Fu Liu's proposal.
"Okay..." Ajiu lowered his head and shook his tail, and left here with Fu Liu and the big rat demon.
Looking at Ajiu's brisk steps, Biqing's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Once things settle down, they'll have plenty of cooked meat to eat," Xuan Yi said. "Don't worry too much about Jiu and the others."
"You don't eat cooked meat because you're afraid of being discovered by other monsters?" Biqing asked.
"That's only one reason. The other is that I'm afraid they'll get used to it and throw a tantrum if they don't get their cooked meat."
Xuan Yi said, "This time the situation is special, so it's okay to indulge once."
"special?"
"The snake is huge, enough to feed the Zhaoye Clan for several years. Processing the meat will take some time, so they will be happy if we help share some of the burden."
An image emerged in Biqing's mind of a group of sparrows dancing around a fire and eating meat.
She waved her hand, driving the warm and imaginary scene out of her mind.
As long as the water source problem in the demon world is not solved, these little demons will never have peace.
"Xuan Yi."
Bi Qing gathered the fur coat that had lost its magical power and asked sincerely, "Can you teach me some self-defense spells?"
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually becoming darker. He uttered a word slowly, "No."
