Chapter 26 Chapter 26 "Ahhhhh! Don't come over here! ...
Xuan Yi and the others all had their own thoughts; no one had expected such a sudden event to happen, and they were all shocked.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi flashed to Biqing's side: "Biqing!"
A crocodile flew onto a lotus leaf and landed at Biqing's feet.
The tears in the eyes drew a graceful arc in the air as the crocodile demon moved.
"Miss Shuiyun, wuwuwu..."
The crocodile demon's cries were deafening, and it sounded like it had suffered a great injustice.
He leaned over to Biqing's feet and rubbed her gray embroidered shoes: "That wolf demon bullied me... wow..."
The armor-like crocodile skin scraped against the edge of Biqing's shoes. She screamed in fear, "Ahhhhh! Don't come over here!"
Biqing kicked forward, inadvertently activating the spiritual power that surrounded her when she was trapped in the lotus.
The crocodile was kicked by Biqing and rolled off the lotus leaf, splashing large amounts of water, and floated on the lake with its belly turned up.
"Crocodile!" Shui Yun exclaimed and went forward to check on her friend's injuries.
She said anxiously, "You've got the wrong person! That's Fairy Biqing!"
Mo Jue and Meng Chi's mouths twitched.
Meng Chi said: "...Miss Biqing has great legs."
Xuan Yi wanted to heal Biqing's injuries, but the demonic power condensed in his palm was suppressed by the golden spiritual power as soon as it touched Biqing.
Xuan Yi's brows tightened.
Biqing's whole body was wet because of the unclean lake water, and her face felt slightly burning.
She didn't have time to wipe the water off her face as she hurriedly used her spiritual energy to heal her wounds and relieve the pain. She continued what the crocodile demon had just interrupted: "This lotus root is very likely grown in Qianyuan Mountain."
"Qianyuan Mountain?" Several people were surprised.
Xuan Yi was the first to react: "Is this the lotus root used to rebuild the Third Prince's body?"
If that's the case, it makes sense that the petals I cut off recovered quickly.
“Yes.”
The burning sensation on Biqing's face subsided. "I just counted. There are seven holes on this lotus root, symbolizing the seven orifices of the human body. The ones I've seen in heaven all have nine holes."
"Nine-hole lotus root?" Xuan Yi was surprised. "I didn't expect the lotus root to be so finely divided."
"Of course! The nine-hole ones are crispier and are very refreshing when eaten cold!"
Biqing said, "My body doesn't hurt anymore."
The unpleasant smell of mud and water on his body was dispelled by the demonic power, and the dampness also faded a lot.
Just as she was about to completely remove the water stains, Xuan Yi immediately stopped her: "Biqing! Do not use spiritual power again!"
"Why?"
Biqing looked at him in confusion and saw Xuanyi's eyes were closed, his cheeks were slightly red, and his head was tilted to the side.
His eyes shifted to Mo Jue and Meng Chi. They had turned their backs to him without him noticing, leaving him with two slightly embarrassed figures.
Xuan Yi turned his head, his eyes still tightly closed, and reminded him, "You've forgotten that the wolf fur you wear is made from my demonic power. The spiritual power in the lotus root can easily suppress my demonic power. You're using spiritual power like this, aren't you afraid..."
Biqing lowered her head in panic. Fortunately, the wolf fur on her body was translucent, and the clothes underneath were still intact.
Biqing had no time to complain. She looked around for Mingzhu, hoping to borrow some clothes from her.
Shui Yun was sure that the crocodile's life was not in danger, and she felt a little relieved when she saw several crocodiles sleeping under the lake.
Turning back to see Biqing, who was very anxious, her coat appearing and disappearing, he asked, "Miss Biqing, your clothes...?"
"This dress is transformed by Xuan Yi's demonic power."
"That's how it is! Miss Biqing, if you don't mind, I have a few clothes for you to choose from."
"Thank you."
Shui Yun's words solved Bi Qing's urgent problem. Thinking about the remaining spiritual power in her body, Bi Qing kept a few steps away from Shui Yun and followed her.
Xuan Yi heard the footsteps of the two people walking away and called Ming Zhu, "Follow Bi Qing and don't let that lotus demon harm her."
Mingzhu, who was trying to appease Ajiu, said: "I'll go right away!"
Xuan Yi took the lotus root and soaked it in the water on the lotus leaf.
The moment the lotus root left his hand, the suppressed demonic power flowed through every vein in Xuan Yi's body.
Xuan Yi stared at the lotus root in the shallow depression, which was shining with a faint golden light.
Mo Jue rarely saw his brother with this expression, so he asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Xuan Yi did not answer.
"I guess he's counting the holes in the lotus root." Meng Chi said.
——
After changing her clothes, Biqing followed Shuiyun back to her original place. Along the way, Biqing controlled her spiritual power to dispel the burning pain on her body.
Shui Yun was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and her tears kept falling like rain.
At first, Biqing tried to comfort her and inquire about the reason, but Shuiyun was crying so hard that she could hardly speak clearly.
Biqing really couldn't find out anything, so she stopped asking.
Mingzhu, who was following behind the two of them, tried to knock Shuiyun out several times.
It’s so noisy!
"Miss Biqing..."
Shui Yun sobbed, "I'm the only one of my clan who's transformed, and protecting them is incredibly taxing. If it weren't for the crocodile dragon's help, I would have long since vanished into the demon world. Now, Young Master Xuan Yi wants to take the lotus root, severing the path for my clan and the crocodile dragon..."
"Girl, you've been crying all the way, at least you should cry to the right person, right?"
Mingzhu covered her ears and said, "Biqing is not the king. You can cry to her until your next life, and she won't be able to make the decision."
Shui Yun wiped away her tears and said, "Master Xuan Yi looked truly vicious. I didn't dare to say anything more to him. If I had known this would happen, I would never have let you out."
She held Biqing's hand tightly and said, "Miss Biqing, I see that Master Xuanyi cares about you very much. Can you help me ask Master Xuanyi for mercy?"
"I……"
Bi Qing sighed, "There's nothing I can do about this. My spiritual power has been sealed in the demon world, and I've only survived until now thanks to Xuan Yi's protection. My words are truly insignificant."
Shui Yun's mouth flattened and she cried even harder: "If I had known this would happen, I should have left with the little river clam and found another way to live."
Biqing didn't know how to comfort Shuiyun, and Mingzhu didn't know either, so the two of them just let her cry.
When the three returned to their original place, the crocodiles trapped Xuan Yi brothers and Meng Chi on the lotus leaves again.
Ready to make a move.
Mingzhu was shocked and was about to step forward when Mo Jue gave her a look and signaled her to leave.
Mingzhu did as she was told with a frustrated look on her face.
Xuan Yi glanced at the crocodiles indifferently, smelling the fragrance in the air, and looked towards the distance without any expression.
Biqing, wearing a light pink gradient hairpin skirt, stands out among the three.
The light green skirt faded upwards, blending into the pink and white, making Biqing look like the fullest and most beautiful lotus flower in a summer lotus pond.
From a distance, Xuan Yi saw the rare peaceful and tranquil time.
And a sense of indifference and sadness in the tranquility.
Xuan Yi's even breathing became uncontrollably disordered and took a long time to recover.
"You are so treacherous, Butterfly! You actually used your bewitching skills to trick us!"
The crocodile said angrily, "Hurry up and return the lotus root to us!"
Meng Chihu flapped his wings and hung in the air: "You got attacked by anti-fans because of your own carelessness, don't blame me!"
Meng Chi caught a glimpse of Biqing and the other two hurrying over, and asked loudly, "Ms. Shuiyun, didn't you say you'd told them they wouldn't hurt us? What do you mean now?"
"Sister Shuiyun! Why are you crying?"
The calm surface of the lake left a trail of water as the crocodile swam towards Shuiyun. "I'll help you get the lotus roots back! Drag them all to the bottom of the lake and drown them! Let them rot in the mud with those unscrupulous fellows!"
Meng Chi said, "There are corpses of monsters in there? No wonder the muddy water stinks so bad!"
The crocodile cast a fierce look at Biqing and opened its mouth, wanting to bite her and swallow her into its stomach.
"Don't be rude!"
Shui Yun stopped them sternly, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and ordered, "You guys should leave first. I'll find a way to deal with the lotus root issue."
Seeing that the crocodiles refused to leave, she lied to herself and said, "Master Xuan Yi is not an unreasonable person. You don't have to worry about me. Go back to the water first."
The crocodiles surrounding Xuan Yi and the other two disappeared in the water, but the alligator at Shui Yun's feet was unwilling to leave. It jumped onto the lotus leaf and followed Shui Yun.
Biqing used the spiritual power surrounding her to protect herself and trotted off to look for Xuan Yi and the other two.
The lotus roots soaking in the puddle caught her attention.
Biqing didn't rush to pick up the lotus root. Instead, she asked Xuanyi, "Why is the lotus root here?"
"Biqing, please pick up the lotus roots and return them to Shuiyun."
As soon as Xuan Yi said this, everyone present was shocked.
Mo Jue and Meng Chi were stunned and surprised, while Shui Yun was surprised and happy.
Biqing thought for a moment, then quickly picked up the lotus root and returned it to Shuiyun.
Biqing moved so fast that Mo Jue and Meng Chi couldn't react.
Shui Yun, who received the lotus root, burst into tears of joy: "Thank you, Master Xuanyi, for your kindness! Thank you, Miss Biqing!"
"elder brother!"
Mo Jue was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "This thing can purify water! Why do you want to return it!"
Mo Jue exuded an unprecedented murderous aura. In just a moment, the light blue demonic power condensed into a demon talisman and flew towards Shui Yun without mercy.
Once Shui Yun died, he could take the lotus root away naturally.
Just a few crocodiles, nothing to be afraid of.
The moment the talisman left his hand, it was shattered by the powerful demonic power.
A demonic power popped out from Xuan Yi's fingertips, tightly binding Mo Jue.
Mo Jue dodged nimbly, pulled out a dagger made of snake fang and stabbed it into Shui Yun's heart.
With a "clang" sound, the dagger was bounced by the sword and fell into the water, slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake and merging with the mud.
His body tightened, and Mo Jue was punished by Xuan Yi and could not move.
"Brother! You're bullying me because I'm not as powerful as you!"
Mo Jue roared, "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
Meng Chi couldn't understand Xuan Yi's actions and asked, "Yes, Xuan Yi! You led your people everywhere for water. Now that the water purifier is so close, why would you give it up?"
Xuan Yi sheathed his sword and remained silent.
Shui Yun was afraid that Xuan Yi would go back on his word, so she handed the lotus root to the crocodile at her feet.
The crocodile gently bit the lotus root, dived to the bottom of the lake along the lotus leaves, and put the lotus root back in its original place.
The turbid lake water suddenly became crystal clear and sparkling with golden light.
Shui Yun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. "As long as it's saved, it's good..."
Biqing didn't understand why Xuan Yi made such a decision, but along the way, she saw Xuan Yi's care for Mo Jue and his emphasis on the safety of his people.
Mo Jue and Xuan Yi are both concerned about the safety of the wolf demon clan.
Rather than believing that the brothers were at odds with each other, she believed that there must be some unspeakable reasons behind it.
Biqing wanted to persuade them, but due to her status, she chose to keep silent and looked at Xuan Yi and Mo Jue worriedly.
The only ones who were happy at the moment were probably the wolf demons, except for the few people present, because none of them knew that lotus root could purify water.
Mo Jue was hopeless and said unwillingly, "Brother! The solution we left our hometown and searched for so hard is right in front of us! If you return this item today, another demon tribe will take it for themselves in the future!"
"If you have this, you won't have to worry about purifying the water for the cubs!"
Mo Jue choked up and said, "I am a broken person, but you are not... The clan can do without me, but not without you..."
