Chapter 29 Chapter 29 What's that... expression on her face? ...
Biqing knew her own limitations in the demon world, and she also knew that Xuanyi didn't really need her escort.
Looking across the blue barrier covered with a layer of water vapor, I saw mountains in the distance stretching for hundreds of miles.
The white snow covers the original color of the mountains, leaving only the outline, like a cold woman wearing a veil, which inevitably arouses people's curiosity and makes people wonder what she looks like under the white veil.
Biqing's eyes moved downwards. The lake water beneath her feet was as light as ink, with a faint black aura.
She pinched a little spiritual power at her fingertips, but remembered that the demonic power would be suppressed by it.
Biqing sighed, and withdrew the imperceptible spiritual power in disappointment, following Xuan Yi closely.
By not touching the foul-smelling water, you are helping Xuan Yi.
"If I had known this, I should have taken those petals with me and left."
Biqing rubbed her cold hands and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such a wide river today."
Glancing at the lake below, she muttered, "There's still so much foul air in the water! It's invisible to the naked eye!"
“It’s still some distance to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but the water source is much better than back home.”
Xuan Yi took off his coat and draped it over Bi Qing. "Make sure you dress properly. It will only get colder after crossing this river."
“As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.”
Biqing gathered her coat, which still held Xuan Yi's warmth, in front of her. "My current situation certainly proves this point."
Although he had the spiritual power to protect himself, he could not use it anytime and anywhere. If he was not careful, it would cause trouble for Xuan Yi.
It’s not as comfortable as controlling the demonic power.
"Neither you nor I have the ability to predict the future, so don't be too upset."
Xuan Yi said, "But your spiritual power suppresses the demonic power in my clothes. Once we reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I'm afraid this clothing won't be able to protect you from the severe cold."
“That makes sense, but…”
Bi Qing paused. "The road ahead is treacherous. I'm afraid this little spiritual energy will be completely depleted before I even reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain."
Xuan Yi choked and said, "Stop talking and just follow me."
Biqing shut up and followed Xuan Yi obediently forward.
Fortunately, the river crossing went smoothly. We did not encounter any other monsters and nothing went wrong.
Everyone's anxious hearts finally settled down.
Xuan Yi glanced at the slightly tired faces of the wolf demons and said to Mo Jue, "Leading the way is up to you. Find a good place to rest before dark."
Mo Jue understood: "Brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
As they hurried along, Biqing lay on Xuanyi's wolf head, stroking the soft fur, and asked a question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "Xuanyi, why were you the one leading the way when we passed by Miss Shuiyun and just now? But now it's Young Master Mo Jue who's leading the way?"
"The first two times were too dangerous. It would be best if I could lead the way myself."
Xuan Yi, transformed into his true form, replied as he hurried along, "My judgment regarding the wolf-eating eagle was incorrect. If I were to lead the way myself, the situation would be much better. Ah Jue's condition... I'm afraid he can't keep up with me. If he leads the way, I won't have to worry about it, and we can all save some energy."
"I see!"
Biqing rolled over and lay down in Xuanyi's wolf fur, stretching out in a "big" shape. "I need to conserve my energy, too. I've been walking for so long, my legs are sore."
Then he asked, "Xuan Yi, why don't you let everyone fly over? Wouldn't it be faster to fly across the river?"
"The wolf cubs are still young, and their demonic power is not enough to support them to fly across the river."
Xuan Yi patiently explained, "While flying with them would be faster, the demonic energy consumption would also increase, and everyone would be in trouble in the end. In comparison, the demonic energy consumed by opening the barrier is insignificant."
"Indeed, once the barrier is opened, it can be used for quite a while!"
Biqing closed her eyes and suddenly remembered something. She sat up and said, "Xuanyi, you didn't lose my hydrangea, did you?"
"No."
"I thought of something! Is it feasible?"
"Tell me about it first."
"Miss Shuiyun once said that lotus roots themselves have spiritual power."
Biqing leaned forward, leaning closer to Xuan Yi's ear, afraid he would miss what she said. "Lotus roots and hydrangeas are both celestial beings, and both function as containers. Does this mean I can use hydrangeas to store spiritual energy?"
"If this is feasible, I won't have to be so timid about harming innocent people, and I can also conserve some spiritual energy for emergencies. My inability to withstand the severe cold will naturally be solved."
At first, Biqing simply lamented her good fortune. It was thanks to her immortal bones that she was able to survive after falling into the demon world.
Now it seems that the reason why I am not dead is probably not just because of the immortal bone in my body.
It must have a great relationship with hydrangea.
"Your speculation is not unreasonable."
Xuan Yi said, "When Ah Jue finds a place to rest, I'll study with you. The hydrangea doesn't reject my demonic power, so I think it won't reject the spiritual power of the lotus root either."
I am not afraid of the cold, but the little bamboo on my body may not be able to withstand it.
——
Mo Jue followed the edge of the river and found a cave full of stalactites.
Without waiting for him to give any orders, Mingzhu and Liaoying took their men out hunting.
"Wait a moment!"
Mo Jue called Liao Ying and handed him a light blue magic talisman: "You can't come in without this."
Liaoying collected the talisman that could pass through the barrier and left with his companions.
After Xuan Yi and Bi Qing settled the wolf cub, they found a secluded corner to discuss Bi Qing's proposal.
Xuan Yi took off the embroidered ball tied around his waist and returned it to Bi Qing.
Biqing gathered a little spiritual power at her fingertips and lightly touched the hydrangea.
Golden light surrounded the hydrangea, illuminating the expectant faces of the two.
The bare hand holding the hydrangea trembled slightly. Biqing held her breath and stared at the spiritual power intently.
The golden light circled around the hydrangea twice, gathered at the top of the hydrangea, gradually sank into the hydrangea, and merged with it.
The dull hydrangea emits a dazzling golden light.
"Very good!"
Biqing beamed, spinning around with the hydrangea in her arms. "I knew it! This is what a divine artifact should look like!"
Seeing this, Xuan Yi said, "Since that's the case, Biqing, inject your spiritual power into it first. After it's done, I'll give you some demonic power."
Biqing nodded and injected the remaining spiritual energy into the hydrangea until she no longer felt the meridians in her body were unblocked.
A familiar dull pain came from the back of her spine, and Biqing felt helpless.
When holding spiritual power, the sacral bone will clearly not hurt.
It seems that I can only wait until I can successfully reach the human world and then repair it properly.
Biqing handed the hydrangea to Xuanyi. Xuanyi took a look and shook his head, saying, "It's only right that it be returned to its original owner."
"You have so much demonic power, are you afraid of the weak spiritual power in this hydrangea?"
Biqing said as she stuffed the hydrangea into Xuanyi's arms, "Take it. I'll feel more at ease. If we encounter any difficult situations, the hydrangea will be useful with your demonic power."
She tapped the embroidered ball, leaned closer and said, "I know you have spiritual abilities. Please do your best to suppress the spiritual power within you and don't hurt Xuan Yi."
Xuan Yi took in Biqing's adorable appearance. He smiled and asked, "Can it understand?"
"Of course it understands!" Biqing said, "I used to talk to it when I was a kid!"
In fact, Biqing didn't know whether Xiuqiu could understand what she said.
Since you don’t understand, just pretend that you understand.
Biqing's words brought back memories of the day when Xuanyi was deceived by Meng Chi and saw some things that did not belong to him.
Xuan Yi opened his lips slightly, and the concerned words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back into his stomach.
Words that bring up other people's sad past are not caring at all.
Xuan Yi tied the hydrangea around his waist and said, "I was overthinking it. The artifact is inherently spiritual, and you are its master, so it will naturally understand."
The hydrangea around her waist lit up for a moment, and she looked a little proud.
Biqing chuckled: "See! I told you it understands!"
Looking at the cheerful face of the person in front of him, Xuan Yi lowered his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
Xuan Yi's gaze was so scorching that Bi Qing couldn't dodge it in time and was a little flustered by the heat.
My cheeks were as hot as before, as if they could roast a piece of meat.
She seemed to understand what Xuan Yi was thinking of her, but she also felt that Xuan Yi might just be caring about her.
After all, Xuan Yi was really afraid that he would die in his clan and cause them a lot of trouble.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt appeared on her clean and clear face.
Xuan Yi's brows knitted unconsciously: What's that... expression on her face?
"elder brother!"
Mo Jue's clear voice interrupted the strange atmosphere between the two. He walked briskly, with one hand behind his back and a smile on his face, looking like he had encountered some great joy.
In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi returned to his previous indifference and composure.
Smelling a hint of fishy air, Xuan Yi feigned ignorance and asked, "What happened to make you so happy?"
"Fish tonight! I'm naturally happy!"
Mo Jue stretched out his hands behind his back, revealing a fish that was tied tightly with a rope passing through its lips and gills.
The water trickled down the fish's scales to its tail, where it landed on the ground with a plop. The fish looked as if it had just been caught from the lake, and it was incredibly fresh.
"Mingzhu caught it!"
Mo Jue shook the fish in his hand and said, "Brother! Why don't we eat something good tonight? How about grilled fish?"
Xuan Yi's face showed no joy. He asked in a cold voice, "Have you used demonic power to purify it?"
There is so much foul air in the lake, but the water dripping from the fish's tail is clear and transparent.
If he was told that this was the case, he would definitely not believe it.
Mo Jue shook his head. "It's a pearl. This is all she and Liao Ying found nearby, so they used their demonic powers to purify it. They didn't expect it was actually edible."
"How many did she purify?"
"That's the only one."
Mo Jue smiled and said, "Mingzhu has learned a lot and is no longer as reckless and careless as before."
"If Liao Ying wasn't by her side, would she be able to be so measured?"
Xuan Yi took the fish, looked at it carefully, and used his magical power to explore if there was anything unusual.
Xuan Yi's brows furrowed even tighter.
Mo Jue saw his brother's unhappy expression. He swallowed his saliva and heard his brother ask, "Where are Mingzhu and the others?"
"Just got back and am resting."
"Take me to them."
Xuan Yi casually threw the fish into Mo Jue's hand and went to look for Mingzhu without looking back, leaving Biqing and Mo Jue standing there.
Mo Jue looked at his brother's brisk pace and quickly said, "Fairy Biqing, please come with me! With you around, I won't lose my temper."
"Me? Losing my temper?"
Biqing pointed at herself suspiciously, "What's going on? Is Xuanyi angry?"
"Come with me first!"
Mo Jue hurried forward, not hearing Biqing's footsteps behind him. He urged, "Fairy Biqing, hurry!"
Mo Jue's face was filled with anxiety, and Bi Qing couldn't refuse. With her head in the clouds, she followed him and asked, bewildered, "Is Xuan Yi angry? Why? Wasn't he fine just a moment ago? It can't be because of that fish, right?"
Mo Jue nodded: "Mingzhu will probably be scolded by her brother again." He paused: "This time, I will be scolded too."
