Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "Where do you want to go?"
When Biqing opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a hay mat that appeared out of nowhere.
His body was also wrapped in a layer of blue demonic power.
Looking in the direction where the demonic power came from, I saw Xuan Yi's face with a hint of doubt.
Biqing closed her eyes and explained softly, "I was so anxious to find you that I got into trouble with them. The Xiaoxiang clan has a special constitution. Our skin will fester if we come into contact with impure water."
Biqing sighed helplessly: "If it weren't for the water you gave me..."
The Xiaoxiang clan was particularly particular about water sources, so it was understandable that Xuan Yi didn't know about it, and it wasn't his fault.
Besides, if he really wanted to live, why would he go to such unnecessary trouble to save himself?
Bi Qing half-raised her eyelids and pleaded, "Can you please not give me dirty water to drink in the future?"
Xuan Yi's movements paused for a moment, and he continued to heal Bi Qing without saying a word.
He left his homeland and migrated with his people, looking for the lost wolf cubs on the way, and happened to come across this bamboo tree.
From the fragrance emanating from her body and the remaining spiritual power, Xuan Yi concluded that this woman came from heaven.
That spiritual power is too pure and cannot be possessed by a monster.
Only then did he rescue the person.
I thought I'd finally figured out how to purify the water I'd been searching for for so long, but I never expected a god like Biqing to react even more violently than the wolf cubs after drinking the water tainted by foul energy...
Xuan Yi glanced at Biqing's arm and saw that the festering wound had healed, and his annoyed mood eased a little.
This is not a bamboo.
This is a big trouble that I have brought back because of my momentary obsession.
Xuan Yi was frustrated and annoyed. He withdrew his demonic power and left quickly without looking back.
Biqing looked at his frustrated back, raised her arm, stared at the skin that had not yet fully healed, and muttered quietly: "Those wolves bullied me... You haven't healed my wound yet..."
"It's not that my brother doesn't want to save the fairy."
The stranger's voice came from far away. Unlike Xuan Yi's gentle and low voice, this man's voice was clear and bright.
Biqing sat up and looked at the young man in front of her. He had the same pair of golden-blue mandarin duck eyes as Xuan Yi, and his face was similar but with a softer touch. She became even more alert.
"It's because my brother's demonic power is too strong, and the fairy's body is now no different from that of a mortal. I'm afraid she can't bear too much at once."
Mo Jue smiled kindly, "Fairy Biqing, you can just call me Mo Jue."
"The fairy is frightened. My brother has already punished the wolf demons who bullied the fairy. I hope the fairy will be magnanimous and not bother with them."
Mo Jue pulled out a palm-sized bag of green medicinal herbs from his sleeve and placed it next to Bi Qing. "This was brought to me from the clan when the fairy was unconscious. Herbs from the demon world are precious and rare, so I hope the fairy won't dislike it."
"No, there's no need to bother!"
Biqing waved her hands in panic: "My injury will heal soon!"
"You're welcome, fairy. This is my brother's order."
Mo Jue raised his eyebrows and reminded her, "Your health is the most important thing." He raised his hand and produced a bowl filled with water bones, handing it to Bi Qing, "Brother has purified it with his demonic power. It's very clean. Fairy, don't worry about drinking it."
Seeing that Biqing had no intention of taking it, Mo Jue smiled, gently placed the bone bowl and herbs next to Biqing, and turned to look for his brother.
Biqing stared at the bone bowl and pushed it away.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the bag of medicinal herbs tightly wrapped in leaves.
Mo Jue came to a corner of the cave and looked at Xuan Yi, who looked a little grim. He said jokingly, "Brother, the person has been brought back to the clan. It's a little too late for you to regret it."
Xuan Yi suppressed his emotions and said, "I have never regretted it."
I just feel like I'm a little unlucky.
"I thought we'd make some progress on the water source issue. Unexpectedly, her reaction to the foul air in the water was so intense. It's truly a problem."
Xuan Yi frowned slightly. "I don't understand. Her spiritual power is so pure. How could this happen?"
Mo Jue stretched lazily. "Brother, if you find this too troublesome, you can just abandon her here. We have to continue our journey to the foot of Kunlun Mountain anyway, so it's really inconvenient to take her with us."
——
Biqing was sitting on a hay mat with her head down, applying medicinal herbs to her festering arm.
The moment the medicinal herbs are applied, the swollen and hot skin becomes cool instantly.
There was a rustling sound in front of her. Biqing looked up suddenly and saw several gray shadows disappearing behind the stone in a flash.
Biqing pretended not to see it, lowered her head, and continued to apply the compress to her slightly hot wound.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a few wolf cubs, heads piled up together, hiding behind rocks and sniffing at him.
Biqing's eyes turned, and while the little wolf cubs were enjoying the smell, she raised her head without warning.
The little wolf cubs were suddenly panicked and hid behind the rocks.
I don't know which one was so careless that a small part of its tail was exposed outside the stone.
Their careless look made Biqing chuckle.
The little wolf cubs heard her laughter and poked their heads out again, looking at her curiously.
Biqing looked carefully and felt that one of them looked very familiar. She tried hard to recall and suddenly said, "It's you!"
Isn't this the little wolf cub that Xuan Yi scolded?
Biqing smiled slightly to show her friendliness and waved to the little wolf cub, indicating that they should come closer to her.
She had something to ask the wolf cubs.
The younger ones are not as quiet as the older ones, right?
Unexpectedly, when he raised his hand halfway, the little wolf cubs all hid behind the rocks, looking extremely scared.
Biqing's mouth twitched: Shouldn't I be the one who is afraid?
However, there was a little wolf cub who dared to stick his head out.
"I remember you~"
Biqing waved at the little wolf cub and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I don't have any spiritual power and I won't hurt you."
The little wolf cub took half a step forward vigilantly, then retracted its claws in fear, with one of its front paws hanging in the air, not moving an inch.
Biqing recalled the wolf cubs sniffing at her again and again, reluctant to leave. She also remembered that when she woke up, the wolf cub said she smelled good.
"You can only smell it accurately if you get close enough."
She held out her bandaged arm and asked, "Want to smell how I look different from before?"
The little wolf cub half crouched, moving inch by inch, and stopped not far from Biqing's hand.
"You are really brave."
Biqing smiled and took her hand back: "My name is Biqing, what's your name?"
"My name is Ajiu." The little wolf raised his head and sniffed the bone bowl.
"This is the water purified by your king. It is very clean."
Biqing pushed the bone bowl in front of Ajiu and asked, "Where did your king save me?"
"Your Majesty, he, he rescued you from outside!"
There was a hint of evasion in Ah Jiu's hesitant words, as if he was hiding something.
"Is that so! It's really thanks to the king that he saved me, otherwise I would have been eaten by other monsters!"
Biqing spoke briskly, but her heart sank to the bottom: Xuan Yi must have other motives for bringing her back!
She asked, "Ajiu, can you take me to see your king? I have something to say to him."
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and strike first!
If Xuan Yi really had plans for him, he would be the best bargaining chip.
Ah Jiu shook his head like a rattle.
"Ajiu doesn't dare to go to the king!"
A little wolf demon behind the stone shouted, "He lost the team last time and got scolded by the king!"
"You! Don't talk nonsense! I didn't mean to cause trouble for the king!"
Ah Jiu stamped his feet anxiously, turned around and said to the little wolf cub, "If I hadn't gotten lost, Your Majesty wouldn't have met Sister Biqing! Sister Biqing wouldn't have been rescued!"
Biqing's doubts grew even stronger, and her eyes fell on the water in the bone bowl: "You drink this water..."
"Why are you little brats here?!"
The woman's loud voice completely drowned out Biqing's voice.
"Sister Mingzhu is here! Run! Awooo——"
I don’t know which wolf cub shouted, but the rest of them started running away.
Mingzhu's eyebrows were raised, and she walked to the stone with anger on her face. She shouted at the scattered wolf cubs, "Go back to your den!"
Seeing Mingzhu's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Ah Jiu shrank back two steps, hid behind Biqing and whispered, "Don't mess with Sister Mingzhu, she's very fierce..."
The wolf demon clan has excellent hearing, so Mingzhu naturally heard Ajiu's reminder.
She glanced at the hay mat beneath Biqing, rolled her eyes, and said unhappily, "This hay was specially saved by the king for the little ones before we left! How can you be so rude! You lie down on it just like that! None of the little ones in the tribe are as precious as you!"
Biqing had some impression of Mingzhu's voice. It seemed like the she-wolf that spoke when she went to look for Xuanyi.
Facing Mingzhu's firecracker-like words, Biqing simply stood up and left the straw mat: "If you like it, take it."
"Who cares about broken hay?"
Mingzhu angrily threw the bag of things wrapped in broad leaves onto the hay mat and said to Jiu, "Come with me now! If the king finds out that you've disobeyed him and sneaked out, he'll scold me for dereliction of duty and put me under house arrest!"
"We had the chance to sneak out because you all went to bully Sister Biqing..."
Ah Jiu muttered, "If you listen to the king and don't bully Sister Biqing, the king won't scold you..."
"Little white-eyed wolf!"
Mingzhu interrupted Ajiu's muttering viciously and pulled Ajiu into her arms without saying anything: "You are such a traitor! Don't forget who gave us what we have today!"
Ah Jiu struggled a bit, "Sister Mingzhu is being unreasonable! The king said it wasn't Sister Biqing who did it!"
Biqing was puzzled: What...had I done?
"After just one moment of not seeing you, you already learned how to use the King to pressure me! Did she teach you that?!"
Mingzhu showed Biqing the two fangs that had been hidden in her mouth: "No one in the heaven is a good person!"
"People in heaven are really not good people." Biqing agreed.
Mingzhu was caught off guard by Biqing's words. All the pungent words in her heart were stuck in her throat, making her cheeks slightly red.
After a while, Mingzhu squeezed out a dry sentence: "Ajiu, let's go!" and left with Ajiu in her arms.
When Mingzhu completely disappeared from Biqing's sight, she let out a long sigh: "Her temper is even worse than my aunt's..."
After seeing Mingzhu's attitude towards her, Biqing chose to lie back on the hay mat and wait for Xuanyi to come find her.
Her eyes lingered on a small package wrapped in leaves beside her. Thinking it was the medicinal herbs sent by Xuan Yixin, Biqing didn't think much about it and untied the straw rope tied tightly around it.
A piece of raw meat with blood on it was suddenly exposed to the air.
The pungent fishy smell rushed into Biqing's nostrils, making her stomach churn.
Biqing retched, quickly covered the raw meat with leaves, put it far away, and stopped looking at it.
Biqing waited and waited, but when she saw that Xuan Yi showed no sign of coming, she yawned and closed her eyes to rest.
In the dim light, Biqing saw a wolf demon with a mouth full of fangs and a ferocious face standing up, holding its real body in one hand and peeling off the bamboo skin with its sharp claws in the other hand, then it opened its bloody mouth and put its real body into its mouth.
"ah--"
Biqing woke up suddenly, and after realizing it was just a nightmare, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly drove away the horrific images that remained in her mind.
Xuan Yi was startled by Biqing's scream. He calmed down and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
His eyes fell on the leaf: "Not hungry?"
Then he asked, "Who sent it?"
"Ms. Mingzhu."
Biqing paused for a moment as she wiped the cold sweat from her face and declined, "I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll eat later."
"Ajue is really..."
Xuan Yi murmured helplessly, his expression returning to indifference in a flash: "Follow me."
Bi Qing frowned at Xuan Yi's unyielding tone. She stood up and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
