Chapter 22 Chapter 22 "The past should not be mentioned."...
Biqing's spiritual power had been sealed for too long, so her hands felt a little clumsy when she performed her moves.
She took advantage of everyone's rest days and found a relatively remote place every day to get used to Xuan Yi's magic power.
It is easy to cast a barrier, but it still takes some effort to control the demonic power that does not belong to you to protect yourself.
Meng Chi leaned against a rock with his legs crossed, looking at Xuan Yi and the others who all had something to do, and he felt envious.
He looked down at the demon ropes binding his wrists and sighed, "I can't beat you, so why should I be so defensive?"
"Brother, he seems very dissatisfied with your actions." Mo Jue complained casually to Xuan Yi who was busy purifying the water beside him.
Meng Chi was nearly mad at Mo Jue's words and fainted: "Why are your ears so long?!"
"We have excellent hearing and can hear the slightest movement."
Mo Jue gathered a bit of demonic power in his palm, but it was dispersed by Xuan Yi in just a moment.
Mo Jue folded his arms over his chest, standing there in dissatisfaction, and said with a hint of meaning: "Not only that, but he is also extremely cautious, afraid that others will come to help!"
Meng Chi didn't dare to respond, and his eyes turned to Mingzhu, Liaoying and others who had returned from hunting.
Mingzhu was carrying a piece of raw meat on his shoulders that was almost as big as him.
Meng Chi sighed: Xuan Yi was right, it was a good thing I met him that day of the fight.
If the person he met was Miss Mingzhu, his wings would be torn to pieces by her.
Mingzhu and Liaoying both felt Meng Chi's gaze and stared at him in unison.
"What are you looking at! Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyes and string them on my necklace!" Mingzhu scolded.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare at the girl." Meng Chi hurriedly explained.
Why are both of them so fierce?!
Miss Biqing is still the best...
Although Miss Biqing doesn't like to talk to me, at least her attitude is not so bad!
Meng Chi began to wonder if Xuan Yi was bringing him forward so he could be a punching bag for the wolf demons...
Perhaps Mingzhu was already in a bad mood, or perhaps Meng Chi's words had irritated her, so she stopped and said, "It's already a relief to just tie your hands! I should tie your mouth too!"
"Mingzhu, stop talking..."
"Don't call me!"
Mingzhu interrupted Liaoying and, ignoring the presence of the other wolf demons, walked forward briskly, carrying the meat on her shoulder. "I'll give the snake fang you gave me to Biqing! Are you satisfied?"
Mingzhu's words were full of anger, and Xuanyi and others shook their heads repeatedly.
Liao Ying didn't know how Mingzhu got the information, so she asked, "Did Fairy Biqing tell you? Why would she say this for no reason?!"
"Do you think I'm as hard of hearing as that butterfly? I heard everything they asked you during the hunt!"
Mingzhu walked very fast, and the necklace on her neck flew up and down with her steps, bouncing around in front of her.
Liao Ying looked at the wolf demons who went out together. They all pretended to be very busy and looked away.
Liao Ying had no choice but to look at Xuan Yi and Mo Jue for help.
But they were busy purifying the water and ignored him completely.
Liao Ying was so sad that she could not even cry. She trotted after Mingzhu and tried to take the meat from her shoulders, but Mingzhu dodged it with her hand.
Liaoying reached out again, and Mingzhu dodged again.
As the two of them were deadlocked, Biqing appeared, beaming. "Xuan Yi! Do you want me to bring water to Ah Jiu and the others today? Eh—"
Seeing Mingzhu and the others there, Biqing politely greeted them: "Ms. Mingzhu, you're back from hunting!"
Mingzhu was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay any attention to Biqing. But thinking of the snake fang, she asked, "Fairy Biqing, let me ask you, did Liaoying ever doubt that the fang I gave you was the one he gave me?"
Biqing shook her head: "No! Master Liaoying never asked me!"
Liao Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bi Qing with gratitude.
Since Biqing said so, Mingzhu didn't think about it anymore. Her anger subsided a little and her pace slowed down a lot.
Liao Ying seized the opportunity and chased after him.
After the two walked away, Xuan Yi asked, "Why did you help Liao Ying hide this? He once helped Ming Zhu deliberately make things difficult for you."
"Yue Lao once said that he would rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage. I am a god, and I won't bother with them!"
Biqing walked over to him and took the purified water from his hand: "I have full control over your demonic power! Are you going to give this water to Jiu and the others?"
"Leave the water delivery to me. It just so happens that my brother doesn't want me to get in his way."
Mo Jue smiled and took the rough bowl from Bi Qing's hand: "Although there are many streams here, there are no large utensils. We need to make a few more trips."
Before Biqing could refuse, Mo Jue took the bowl and left, flicking his sleeves loudly, sounding very angry.
"What happened to Master Mo Jue?"
Biqing looked at Xuanyi suspiciously: Are these two brothers having a quarrel?
It's really rare.
"Ajue is not happy with my actions."
Xuan Yi said sullenly, "Purifying the water consumes a great deal of demonic energy. I can do it alone."
"Can your body handle it?"
Biqing squatted beside him, her messy hair and slightly haggard face reflected in the stream.
His eyes shifted slightly, and Xuan Yi beside him still looked calm and composed.
The people around me seem to have endless magical powers and never get tired.
After thinking for a moment, Biqing slowly spoke, "Xuan Yi, your demonic power will eventually run out. Master Mo Jue loves you and doesn't want to lose you."
Xuan Yi knew what his brother was thinking.
If only one of the two brothers could survive, he hoped that person would be Mo Jue.
Bi Qing glanced at the idle Meng Chi, moved closer to Xuan Yi, and whispered in his ear, "Is Master Mo Jue's health... not good?"
Xuan Yi's golden-blue mandarin duck eyes trembled, and he asked coldly, "Who told you that?"
Bi Qing felt a chill on his spine, took a half step back, and said in a low voice, "My guess is... apart from forming the barrier, you don't let Master Mo Jue do anything. Plus, Master Mo Jue sleeps for a long time..."
By the end of her speech, Biqing could hardly hear her own voice.
Facing Xuan Yi's eyes, which were as deep as a dark pool, Bi Qing shuddered: "I, I won't tell anyone!"
A long, helpless sigh escaped Xuan Yi's lips. He suppressed his terrifying expression and whispered, "Don't mention this in front of Ah Jue."
Biqing nodded repeatedly, quietly waiting for the suffocating feeling of oppression beside her to dissipate.
Xuan Yi realized his own misstep and lowered his voice, "Biqing, I have a favor to ask of you. Please agree to this for the sake of me bringing you back and helping you heal your wounds."
"You...want me to help Master Mo Jue find a cure?"
"That's right."
"I, I don't understand pharmacology. I only know that the best medicinal herbs in the world are in heaven."
Bi Qing stammered, "But, but I have no intention of returning since I went to the human world. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't promise you this..."
"That's all."
Xuan Yi didn't insist: "Forget about it." He repeated: "Don't mention his health in front of Ajue."
Xuan Yi's sad look was reflected in Biqing's eyes.
The pain in her abdomen and back came without warning, making Biqing dizzy and having difficulty breathing.
He was still alive today, all thanks to Xuan Yi.
No matter what his purpose was in saving himself.
He had many opportunities and reasons to leave me behind along the way, but he still took me with him.
Biqing lowered her head slightly.
She didn't want to go back to the place that was like purgatory to her.
On the one hand, there is Xuan Yi's life-saving grace, and on the other hand, there is his own selfishness.
Biqing was stuck in the middle and didn't know what to do.
It was dark beside her. Biqing looked up, only to see Xuan Yi's lost figure.
This was the first time she saw loss in Xuan Yi.
Biqing took a deep breath, and the not-so-fresh scent of the stream rushed into her nostrils, reminding her of the playful little wolf cubs.
Could it be that among them, there is someone who is in poor health like Master Mo Jue?
"Xuan Yi!"
Bi Qing closed her eyes, her heart hardened, and she rushed forward to grab Xuan Yi's gray sleeve: "I promise you!"
The golden-blue pupils of the mandarin duck gradually brightened. Xuan Yi was surprised and delighted, but his expression remained calm. He bowed deeply to Bi Qing and said, "Thank you."
“You’re so kind!”
Bi Qing was at a loss as to what to do to help Xuan Yi, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she simply bowed to Xuan Yi and said, "My abilities are limited, so I can only promise to do my best to help you!"
"Thank you very much."
"Then you have to tell me first..."
Biqing loosened the gray fabric in her hand and glanced at Meng Chi who was looking curious not far away.
A blue light flashed and Meng Chi fainted immediately.
Xuan Yi said calmly, "Just ask without worry."
Bi Qing asked, "Is Master Mo Jue's illness caused by the water source in the demon world?"
"I don't know."
Xuan Yi said, "When mother was pregnant with Ajue, the battle between immortals and demons was raging. The demon world's barrier was broken, and the heavens and the earth shook. Mother was frightened and went into premature labor and hemorrhage, so Ajue was born with a weak breath. It was father who used his demonic power to save mother and Ajue."
"After giving birth to Ah Jue, my mother was very weak. My father and I tried countless ways to help her, but in the end, it was all in vain. I could only watch helplessly as my mother's condition worsened day by day until she passed away."
"Ajue suffered from numerous illnesses, both major and minor, throughout his childhood. My father used his magical powers to investigate and discovered that Ajue's meridians were incomplete. Since then, my father and I have taken great care of him, and Ajue has lived a relatively peaceful childhood."
Xuan Yi's deep voice grew even hoarser, "At first, I didn't understand why my mother passed away so suddenly. It wasn't until I left home with my tribe and saw a female wolf die shortly after giving birth that I realized my mother had been corrupted by the foul energy and lost her life."
"But Ah Jue's health... I really don't know if it's because he drank the water from the demon world, or if it's because he was contaminated by the foul energy while still in his mother's womb, or if he was born like this. I really can't figure out the reasons."
Feeling a warmth on the back of his hand, Xuan Yi met Bi Qing's distressed gaze. He unconsciously tightened his grip, smiled calmly, and consoled her, "I'm the one who upset you with my excessive talk. The past shouldn't be mentioned."
Biqing held Xuanyi's hand tightly, and all the entanglements that had been piling up in her heart were thrown out into the world.
Compared with the demon world, my experience is nothing.
Bi Qing said, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise. The human world is filled with treasures and talented people. I will definitely find treasures and miracle doctors for Master Mo Jue and cure his illness. If there's really no other way, I can go to the heavens! After all, you saved my life, so I'll just repay you!"
Biqing's sincere look was engraved into Xuanyi's eyes.
The palm of his hand was warm and soft, and Xuan Yi was reluctant to let go. His heart felt as if it was being brushed by a feather, and it itched slightly.
He suddenly felt an impulse in his heart.
The urge to hug the woman in front of him.
The slightly pale red lips of the woman in front of him brought Xuan Yi back to his senses.
Gods without spiritual power need to rely on others to survive.
The demon world is so dangerous. Xuan Yi doesn't know if he will encounter an accident one day, when his life will end, and where he will be buried.
Heartbeat is replaced by responsibility.
She will meet a god who is more suitable for her, not a demon.
Xuan Yi silently withdrew his hand and smoothed down Bi Qing's slightly messy hair. "I believe you."
