Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Wolf Demon...will it also shed its hair? ...
“Ahem…”
The muffled cough that was as loud as a drum woke Biqing up. She opened her eyes suddenly and the black collar suddenly appeared in her sight.
Looking up, I saw the man's face, which was pale and sharp as a knife.
"Xuan Yi!"
Biqing moved her body and found herself in Xuan Yi's arms. She said anxiously, "Your injuries haven't healed yet! Put me down!" and patted Xuan Yi's hand.
"Since you know I'm still seriously injured, then stay still and don't move."
Xuan Yi carried Biqing back to his resting place, gently placed her on the ground, and squatted in front of her.
Xuan Yi quietly looked at the blushing face of the person in front of him, which looked like a water mark left by a drop of cinnabar falling on white jade.
The questioning words in his throat reached his lips, turning into a sentence: "I don't have any extra demonic power to give you right now. How are you going to go on? You don't even have the most basic ability to withstand the cold right now. Do you want to freeze to death here?"
The last half of the sentence was almost squeezed out from between Xuan Yi's teeth.
He knew Biqing was leaving, and imagined countless things she would do after she left.
The only thing I never thought of was that she would use her demonic power to save others.
If the woman from the tribe had not been worried about Biqing and came to tell him, he would have been kept in the dark by her until he recovered.
Xuan Yi didn't know whether to thank Biqing for her kindness and selflessness, or to rebuke her for overestimating her own abilities.
And his younger brother Mo Jue.
Xuan Yi had already examined his injuries and helped him heal, confirming that he was not seriously injured.
After much deliberation, Xuan Yi decided to seal his brother's demonic power.
It's really a headache when everyone likes to show off.
Biqing looked at the pair of worried golden-blue eyes and whispered, "I don't think I did anything wrong..."
"I don't mean to blame you, I just...!"
Xuan Yi sighed, lifted the outer garment covering Bi Qing, and took off his own wolf fur coat, spreading it over her. "Sacrificing your own interests to save others—is this what you call saving the world?"
If that was the case, he would rather Biqing be more selfish.
"I just use my demonic power where I think it's worthwhile."
Biqing clutched the dark clothes in front of her: "Besides, that was your demonic power. I just did what you wanted to do before you."
Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, but then disappeared into a sea of worry. "Then do you know that what I want to do is more than just heal my people?"
"I know. You want your people to have clean water to drink, for the wolf cubs to grow up healthy, and for Master Mo Jue to recover soon..."
"I also want to take you to the human world safely. I want you to be alive and well."
Xuan Yi's words made Biqing's mind go blank, and she was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
After a long while, she hesitantly asked, "Xuan Yi, are you... concerned about me?"
My forehead felt cold, and Xuan Yi's slightly weak voice came from the front: "Yes. It's not just me, everyone cares about you."
Biqing pursed her lips and a tear fell from her eyes.
She couldn't remember how many times she had cried in front of Xuan Yi.
Bi Qing burst into laughter, cheered up and jokingly said, "I always cry in front of you, don't you find me annoying?"
"Why do I find you annoying?"
Xuan Yi lowered his hand and returned to his true form in front of Bi Qing. However, this time, Xuan Yi's true form was not as huge as before, but slightly larger than an ordinary wolf.
"If you hadn't always cried in front of me, I wouldn't have known that gods also have emotions."
Xuan Yi went around and lay down behind Bi Qing: "It will be warmer if you come closer."
After he spoke, Biqing stopped being polite and leaned back a little on her arms, leaning in front of Xuan Yi.
A thick wolf tail covered Biqing's body.
The thick wolf fur was much warmer than clothes. Biqing couldn't help but move closer to Xuan Yi, absorbing the reassuring warmth.
Biqing looked at the gray-white wolf fur in front of her and raised her hand to touch it again and again.
So soft.
Xuan Yi felt a slight itch on his tail, so he moved it, paused for a moment, and said, "Rest quickly, and don't touch my tail anymore."
The itchiness was gone, Xuan Yi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Biqing looked at the grayish-white hairs stuck to her palm and fell into deep thought.
Wolf demons...will they also shed hair?
Biqing leaned up, found a comfortable position, and leaned in front of Xuan Yi.
Not long after closing her eyes, Biqing had a dream.
In the dream, I was in a raging fire with nowhere to escape.
She watched the flames crawl up her skirt to her waist.
When she was about to be swallowed, she was trapped in a piece of ice and exhaled a breath of white air.
The flames attached to his body disappeared, leaving only bone-chilling cold.
Biqing didn't know how many times she had been trapped between the two extremes, and she was so anxious that sweat dripped down her forehead like rain.
Biqing let out a short "Ah" and woke up from her dream.
With her body wrapped in gray-white wolf hair and Xuan Yi's wolf tail covering her body, Biqing's tense nerves relaxed a little.
He raised his sleeve to wipe his forehead, which was covered with sweat.
Xuan Yi's even breathing could be heard from behind. Bi Qing tiptoed over and snuggled into the soft wolf fur.
Xuan Yi's wolf ears twitched.
——When Biqing woke up the next day, she felt much more relaxed and the feeling of heat had completely disappeared.
The wolf tail covering her body was too hot, so Biqing quietly pushed it away, fearing that it would wake up Xuanyi who was still dreaming.
Before he could touch the wolf's tail, the heat source in front of him dissipated instantly.
"Did I disturb you?" Biqing asked as she stood up.
"It's just a coincidence."
Xuan Yi transformed into a humanoid form and placed the back of his hand on Biqing's forehead. "The fever has subsided. You're stronger than I thought."
Last night, Biqing pushed her wolf tail back and then pulled it back to cover her body, which made Xuanyi unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Fortunately, Biqing sweated a lot last night and her fever subsided this morning.
When Xuan Yi helped Bi Qing up, he caught a glimpse of a pair of dusty jade feet out of the corner of his eye.
The blue-green veins on the instep are clearly visible.
Xuan Yi shook his head slightly, turned his back, pulled Biqing's arm around his neck, and with a little force on his hands, he made Biqing throw herself on his back.
"I can walk by myself!"
Biqing frowned and gently pushed Xuan Yi's shoulder, fearing that she would not be able to control the strength well and aggravate Xuan Yi's internal injuries.
"I'll naturally let you down when we get there."
Xuan Yi carried her on his back as they walked forward. Seeing the wolf cubs playing together, he put Bi Qing down and said, "I feel most at ease if you stay with Jiu and the others."
"Your Majesty! Sister Biqing!"
Ah Jiu ran up to the two of them and asked with concern, "Your Majesty! Are you feeling better?"
The other wolf cubs also ran to Xuan Yi's feet, asking about his situation.
"Much better, don't worry about me."
Xuan Yi squatted down and touched their heads: "I have something to tell you, are you willing to help me?"
When the wolf cubs heard they could help, they said in unison, "Yes!"
Xuan Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Please keep an eye on Biqing these few days and don't let her run around."
There isn't enough demonic power to open a new barrier right now, so it's better to find something for the wolf cubs to do so they don't become bored and curious.
This will also prevent Biqing from doing something that she can't predict.
Biqing curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I won't run around! What are you looking at me for?"
"You won't run around." Xuan Yi stood up. "It's freezing outside, and you don't have shoes. Even if you wanted to walk, you wouldn't be able to get far."
Biqing choked.
It's more than just that I don't have shoes.
The two pieces of clothing on his body, one was borrowed from a woman in the clan, and the other was Xuan Yi's.
A bit of demonic power fell on Biqing's feet, and a pair of gray embroidered shoes wrapped around her bare feet.
Xuan Yi jokingly said, "Remember to return the demonic power you owe me in the future."
"I know, I know!" Biqing raised her chin. "When I return to the human world, I'll pay you back a thousandfold!"
Xuan Yi smiled slightly and adjusted the clothes he had draped over Bi Qing: "Wear it properly to prevent you from getting a fever again."
Under the watchful eyes of Biqing and the little wolf cub, he left here and went to visit the injured tribesmen and his younger brother.
When he saw the wolf demon that was unable to move due to a broken spine, Xuan Yi resented his own incompetence.
Liao Ying, who was busy tending to the wolf demon, saw Xuan Yi approaching and quickly saluted, "Your Majesty!" He then said with concern, "You are still seriously injured and need to rest well!"
When the wolf demon saw Xuan Yi coming, he wiped away the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.
Someone held his hand down and then slowly moved it away.
What came into view was Xuan Yi's face, which was sharp yet apologetic.
Xuan Yi pursed his lips slightly, and demonic power flowed from his palms: "It is my fault that I failed to protect you."
The demonic power that was as deep blue as the sea was now so weak that it looked like the sky washed by a sudden rain, and was slightly white.
Liao Ying was horrified, and the wolf demon said bluntly: "Your Majesty! Forget it! I am just a worthless life..."
"There is no high or low life."
Demonic power continuously flowed out of Xuan Yi's body, and a sharp pain like a knife pierced his heart. "You treat your life so lightly. It's really a waste of Biqing's demonic power to save you."
Xuan Yi's lips, which had just regained some color, faded to a pale white, and cold sweat streamed down his face. "Thanks to Biqing, I used my demonic power to protect the broken meridians in your spine, and even healed them a little with my limited demonic power. Be patient, I will definitely help you stand up again."
A fishy, rusty smell rose to his throat. Xuan Yi rolled it down his throat and retracted his demonic power. "I don't want to talk about counseling or comforting you anymore. We won't be leaving here anytime soon. Just focus on healing and don't distract me any further."
"I still want to go see Ajue."
Xuan Yi glanced at Liao Ying and ordered, "Keep an eye on him. If anything happens to him, you'll be held responsible." He strode away.
Liao Ying nodded. After Xuan Yi walked away, he said to the wolf demon, "See? If you commit suicide out of frustration, the king will not let me go."
The wolf demon sighed, "In front of the king, I really have no secrets at all."
Liao Ying said: "That's why he can be our king."
When Xuan Yi found Mo Jue, Mo Jue was pasting the remaining talisman paper mixed with his demonic power around the cave entrance to cover up their scent and prevent anyone from coming at this critical moment.
Talisman paper is not as useful as magic power, but it is better than doing nothing.
The wind was howling and the snow was flying, and Mo Jue's hands were stiff from the cold, his nose and cheeks were red, and his hearing and sense of smell inevitably declined.
Hearing the squeaking sound of shoes stepping into the snow, Mo Jue came to his senses: his brother was only a few steps away from him.
Xuan Yi's lips were as white as snow, and Mo Yude's mouth twitched as if he had been whipped repeatedly with a whip dipped in chili water, with blood dripping down his cheeks.
"elder brother!"
Mo Jue dropped the talisman in his hand and ran to Xuan Yi, intending to use his demonic power to heal him. With just a slight movement, the feeling of blocked meridians spread throughout his body.
Mo Jue was so anxious that he completely forgot that his demonic power was sealed by the person in front of him.
"I know my limits."
Xuan Yi picked up the talisman paper that Mo Jue had thrown aside and busied himself with the task that Mo Jue had half-finished. "Just leave this kind of thing to them. What you and I need to do now is to take good care of our bodies, heal our wounds as quickly as possible, and recover our demonic power."
"We two brothers are both injured internally. If we encounter any other demon tribes attacking, our plan to reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain will be shattered in an instant. The road we have traveled and the hardships we have endured will remain where we are, buried under the snow."
"Brother, I want to help you share more of the clan's affairs."
Mo Jue knew all this, so he pleaded, "You are my only blood relative."
Xuan Yi took a deep breath and rubbed Mo Jue's head: "Can you please hope for me to be well?"
The cold wind blew into his nostrils, and he seemed to smell a familiar scent.
The smell was so faint, and the biting cold wind had dimmed his sense of smell. Xuan Yi couldn't tell if he was just too tired and smelled it wrong, or...
He turned around and stared at the vastness in front of him.
Met an old friend.
