Chapter 31 Chapter 31 "I'm speaking from the heart, you...
Liao Ying and Mo Jue were busy distributing raw fish to their tribesmen. Their unfulfilled expectations were suddenly realized, and the wolf demons were happy but also a little confused.
Several wolf demons didn't even dare to take the fish handed to them by Mo Jue, for fear that their king would scold them after they ate it.
Mo Jue smiled and, while the wolf demons weren't paying attention, stuffed the fish into their mouths. "Eat it quickly before you change your mind!"
Biqing and Mingzhu carried the fish and went to feed the wolf cubs.
Seeing the wolf cubs wolfing down the fish, Biqing walked away silently, not wanting to see the scene that was hard for her to accept.
Having finished the dried meat, Biqing was too embarrassed to go find Xuanyi to explain the situation.
Her eyes moved to the fish lying on the ground, and Biqing imagined herself holding the fish in her hands and eating the raw fish meat.
Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
A gray figure slowly approached her, and Biqing stepped forward to greet him: "Xuan Yi."
There was a familiar bone bowl in front of her, and Biqing reached out to take it.
After a moment of hesitation, she asked awkwardly, "Xuan Yi, do you have any dried meat?"
The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable.
Xuan Yi shook his head: "No more."
Upon hearing this, Biqing was like a frost-bitten eggplant, wilting on the spot and drinking the water in the bowl listlessly.
Just as Biqing was imagining that she would have to rely on this water to fill her stomach in the days ahead, a large palm stretched out in front of her.
The two small pieces of scorpion cake in Xuan Yi's palms looked particularly dazzling in the darkness, as if they were covered with a layer of golden light.
Biqing was almost in tears and took the scorpion cake handed to her by Xuanyi with great emotion.
Xuan Yi simply saved himself from danger...
When Biqing took the scorpion cake, she found that Xuanyi's long and pointed nails had disappeared, replaced by short, round and clean nails.
Xuan Yi met Biqing's moved gaze and was momentarily speechless. "I didn't give you the cakes the last few times because I saw you didn't like them. I didn't expect you to be interested in them again today."
He said thankfully, "Fortunately, I didn't throw away these cakes."
Biqing paused while chewing the scorpion cake. She swallowed the cake in her mouth and said, "I didn't eat it before because I knew it was made from scorpions."
"How did you know that?"
Xuan Yi remembered that he had specifically told Liu Que not to tell Bi Qing what the pastry was made of.
Biqing didn't want to say that Mingzhu had spoken too hastily and made things worse for her, so she casually said, "The little sparrows heard it while they were chatting outside."
He continued, "Food is scarce in the demon world, and filling one's stomach is already difficult. I'm too picky and can't adapt to the demon world's environment. I can't swallow all that raw meat."
"You've only been in the demon world for three months."
Xuan Yi said, "At first, we didn't eat raw meat like ordinary people. Later, circumstances forced us to spend a year just to get used to eating raw food. I can't even remember the last time I ate cooked food."
"If that's the case..."
Biqing took advantage of Xuanyi's inattention and stuffed her untouched scorpion cake into his mouth.
She smiled and said, "You probably haven't had cakes in a long time! I'll give you half!"
Xuan Yi's mouth was filled with sweetness. He lowered his eyebrows and savored the pastry in his mouth carefully.
He was not a person who liked sweets. When he was a child living on the grassland, he was persuaded by his mother to try a few pieces.
Later, the water source in the demon world was corroded by foul air, and his parents passed away one after another. He left his hometown with his people and never ate cakes again.
When Xuan Yi suddenly tasted it today, a sense of melancholy and trance rose in his heart.
If the foul energy hadn't flooded into the demon world...
The sweetness in the mouth gradually turned into bitterness, as hard to swallow as licorice.
Bitter.
But Xuan Yi still swallowed it.
Recalling something, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Biqing, I vaguely remember you once saying you had an aunt. Does she... have a priesthood?"
Biqing was unable to catch her breath, and the cake crumbs went directly into her throat, causing her to cough repeatedly.
Xuan Yi patted her back to help her calm down.
Biqing gulped down the water from the bone bowl. After finishing her pastry, she asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Xuan Yi said, "If it makes you unhappy, just don't answer."
He always remembered the words Biqing said when she was injured in Zhaoye Forest and on her deathbed.
He also memorized all the memories that did not belong to him that he saw through the art of bewitchment.
Xuan Yi's intuition told him that Biqing's aunt did not seem like an unknown fairy.
But why did she live such a miserable life?
Xuan Yi had wanted to ask this a long time ago, but due to the lack of a good opportunity, he had never opened his mouth.
Since this was a rare opportunity, he wanted to know more about Biqing and the heavenly realm.
"I'm not unhappy."
Biqing said: "Aunt is indeed not a minor immortal, but she is not a powerful god either."
"You once said, tell your aunt that the water source issue cannot be delayed."
Xuan Yi said frankly, "I want to learn a little bit. I'll ask the seniors for advice someday and find a way to purify the foul energy."
Biqing sighed, "Auntie comes and goes like the wind, her whereabouts are elusive. Even if I were in the human world, it would be difficult to find her, let alone you."
Xuan Yi twisted his lips, and the feeling of loss in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Biqing felt guilty seeing Xuan Yi's appearance. She really wanted to confess to Xuan Yi that it was her aunt who was responsible for the foul air flowing into the demon world.
Biqing didn't think she could leave the demon world alive after telling everything.
She believed that Xuan Yi would not take advantage of others, but she did not believe that the other wolf demons would listen to Xuan Yi and give her a way out.
No matter how powerful Xuan Yi was, he could not defeat the wolf monsters in his tribe who attacked him in groups.
The slightly parted red lips closed weakly, and the words on the tip of her tongue were trapped in Biqing's mouth, and condensed into one sentence: "I'm sorry, I really can't help you."
Xuan Yi rejected her words, "You've already helped me a lot. Without you, I would have been severely injured in the battle with the wolf-eating eagle. Without you, Shui Yun wouldn't have let me pass through the lake so easily. Biqing, because of you, we were able to save a lot of time getting here."
Biqing's eyes were slightly red, and she asked, "Do you really think so? Really..."
The last three words were choked with sobs.
When I raised my eyes, the handsome and cold face in front of me had already become blurred.
There seemed to be warm liquid sliding down from the corner of her eyes, but before Biqing could raise her hand, someone had quickly wiped it away.
"Why are you crying?"
Xuan Yi hadn't expected his heartfelt words to upset Bi Qing so much. He patiently coaxed her, "I'm speaking from the heart. You're a very good woman. I don't know what happened to you in the heavens, but that's all in the past. It's not worth your tears."
"I just..."
Biqing sniffed and looked at the person in front of her with moist eyes: "It's just the first time I heard someone say that I can help..."
"What if I can help? What if I can't help?"
Xuan Yi raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from Biqing's cheeks. "Mingzhu has helped a lot, and the trouble she caused... the merits and demerits offset each other. Jiu and the others couldn't help, but they are still very happy."
"You can still help me share my worries even though your spiritual power is sealed in the demon world. You are more powerful than many demons. The gods in heaven say you are useless because they are jealous of you being born with good qualities. Why bother being saddened by their words?"
Biqing wiped the tears from her eyes and sobbed, "I'm not sad. I'm happy..."
She burst into laughter and said, "If my spiritual power hadn't been sealed and I wasn't really unable to protect myself, I would have really wanted to stay in the demon world."
Xuan Yi raised his eyelashes suddenly, and a fantasy that came from nowhere seemed to ignite in his heart.
Soon, that fantasy disappeared like the mist in the mountain stream.
It's unrealistic, why bother thinking about it.
When Biqing's emotions were completely calm, Xuan Yi fulfilled his promise and gave her some of his magic power.
He also used his magical power to cover Biqing's pink and green dress.
Xuan Yi looked at Bi Qing, who was wearing a gray fur coat, and sighed, "I'll wear the original one when I get to the human world."
Bi Qing knew Xuan Yi was being so cautious because he was afraid his scent would cause trouble for everyone else, so she smiled and said, "I like this one too."
After everything was ready, Biqing consciously crossed the barrier and slept with Ajiu and the others.
Just as she lay down, Ah Jiu rubbed against her side and said mysteriously: "Sister Biqing, I noticed that the king has become different recently."
Biqing rolled over and lay on her side, resting her head on her arm. She asked, "What's different about Xuanyi? I don't think he's any different from before."
Ah Jiu nestled into the little space beside her: "Of course it's different! Your Majesty has a lot to talk about when he's with you, Sister Biqing, but he has nothing to say when he's with us."
"You are still young."
Biqing stroked the wolf fur on Ah Jiu's forehead and yawned as she said, "When you grow up a little bit, Xuan Yi will definitely have a lot to tell you."
Biqing hugged Ajiu and fell asleep. While sleeping, Biqing seemed to hear the loud roar of a wild beast.
Biqing's sleepiness instantly dissipated, and she sat up abruptly. Because of the large amplitude of the movement, the blood and qi instantly rushed to her head, and her vision went dark for a moment.
Ah Jiu in her arms jumped up with a start, the hair on his back stood up, his nose was wrinkled with choking, and he made a "wuwu" sound while baring his teeth.
The other little wolf cubs, like Ajiu, stared vigilantly in all directions, their tender green eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Stay inside the barrier and don't run out!"
Bi Qing gave a hurried instruction, but her voice remained within the barrier and she had already rushed out.
I can hear the movement of the monster, so I think it is nearby.
The cave is not very big, and the place where the wolf demons rest is not far from the wolf cubs.
Biqing ran a few steps with her skirt lifted up, and saw the wolf demons with fierce eyes staring at the direction of the barrier at the cave entrance.
The brothers Xuan Yi and Mo Jue stood in front of the barrier. When they heard the messy footsteps behind them, they knew it was Bi Qing.
"Why are you here instead of sleeping?" Mingzhu asked before the other two.
"How can I sleep with it so loud?!"
Biqing ran to Xuanyi and looked over the barrier covered with talismans: "What's going on?"
In front of me, there are only the lake water with white waves surging in the dark night, and the sparse and uneven reefs on the shore.
Biqing's heart was in her throat, she clearly heard the monster's cry.
Where is the monster?
Biqing tried her best to look and saw that there seemed to be a person next to the rocks near the coast.
Before Biqing could see what that "person" looked like, her vision darkened and her sight was completely blocked by Xuan Yi, who was a head taller than her.
Biqing subconsciously raised her head and over Xuanyi's shoulder, she saw a mud mark almost as big as her face on the barrier at the entrance of the cave.
Drops of water mixed with mud flowed down along the barrier, which frightened Biqing.
The deep roar sounded again.
The sound was so close, like thunder, that Biqing and the wolf demons raised their hands to cover their ears to block out the sound.
The monster slapped the barrier with its palm, causing the upside-down stalactites in the cave to shake, crack at the root, and become precarious.
Only Xuan Yi and Mo Jue frowned, staring silently at the violent monster outside the barrier.
"Ajue."
Xuan Yi said indifferently, "You've gotten into trouble."
