Chapter 41 Chapter 41 "The King will personally take care of Fairy Biqing...
Xuan Yi frowned, "Why are you talking nonsense again?"
"That's not nonsense..."
"Biqing, no one in this world is more important than anyone else."
Xuan Yi decisively interrupted Bi Qing's retort, "You think you're more important than me because you're now in my clan, and my status is higher than yours. That's why you think that way."
"When you go to the human world, to a place where no one knows you, will you still feel this way?"
Xuan Yi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is it because... Jue couldn't help you back then that you feel this way?"
"No!"
Bi Qing quickly denied: "It's not because of Master Mo Jue!"
It would be a lie to say that she didn't care. At first, Biqing did feel uncomfortable.
Facing a dangerous person like Xuan Si alone, even though she had magical powers, she was unable to unleash her true strength.
She really hoped someone would come and help her.
But it was understandable that Mo Jue protected Xuan Yi and ignored him.
Xuan Yi is Mo Jue's elder brother, who is he to Mo Jue?
The two of them are not even friends.
She shouldn't, and had no right to, blame Mo Jue for not taking action.
If I really want to blame someone, I can only blame myself for being unlucky and falling from heaven to this point.
You also blame her for not knowing her own limitations and wanting to stand out even though she doesn't have the ability.
"I apologize to you for what happened to Ah Jue."
Xuan Yi raised his hand and plucked up a strand of black hair that fell in front of his eyes. With a twist of his wrist, he wrapped it around his knuckles. "You are important, more important than anyone else."
This is Xuan Yi's heartfelt words.
No matter how others view the woman in front of him, she is very important in his heart.
More important than himself.
Biqing was stunned at first, a sour feeling welling up in her nose uncontrollably, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Is it important?"
Xuan Yi nodded and said in a gentle voice, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Xuan Yi loosened the hair wrapped around his knuckles and nodded to his side. "Come and rest for a while. Once we get to a resting place, I'll need your help in taking care of the injured wolf demon."
He added: "So that you don't feel unimportant."
——
The road ahead was far more rugged and difficult than Xuan Yi had imagined. The closer they got to the Kunlun Mountains, the thicker the snow covering the ground became.
The violent wind and heavy snow were like a knife, making Mo Jue and others unable to open their eyes.
In addition, under the snow, there are countless ice cubes of different sizes, which were condensed in who knows when. You have to be careful with every step you take to avoid slipping and breaking bones.
It's really hard to move forward.
Their sensitive sense of smell was covered by the wind and snow. Apart from the cold, Mo Jue and others could no longer smell anything.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Yi dragged his barely recovered body back into his true form and led the wolf demons to find a place to rest.
Unfortunately, as the night deepened, Xuan Yi still couldn't find a good place to go.
Fortunately, the wind and snow stopped for a while at night, so Xuan Yi found a place with leeward wind and asked everyone to stay there to rest.
Although the wolf demons have thick fur, they still need to huddle together to keep warm in such severe cold.
Biqing huddled to the side, rubbing her hands and breathing on them, trying to warm her fingers that were so frozen that she couldn't bend them.
She couldn't help take care of the injured wolf monsters.
Biqing sighed silently: She knew that Xuan Yi was comforting herself during the day.
Ah Jiu saw that no one around him called out to Biqing. He couldn't stand it any longer and opened his mouth to call Biqing to squeeze in with him, but someone covered his mouth and said, "Your Majesty will not let Fairy Biqing get cold."
Ah Jiu pulled Liao Ying's hand down: "But the king didn't ask Sister Biqing to come over and join us!"
"The king will personally take care of Fairy Biqing."
"Why? The king didn't say anything! Brother Liaoying, are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? You are still young. Some things you will understand naturally when you grow up." Liao Ying said as he leaned closer to Mingzhu.
"With Ah Jiu's brain, he might not understand even when he grows up!"
Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "These brats only think about eating and sleeping, nothing else!"
Ah Jiu was speechless, huddled beside Liao Ying, listening to her continue: "I saw with my own eyes that the king held Fairy Biqing tightly and refused to let go."
"Why didn't I see it?"
Mingzhu instantly became interested and came forward to ask, "When did it happen? Tell me quickly!"
"...when you're fighting."
"You actually deserted while my aunt was fighting?"
Mingzhu was furious and pushed Liaoying hard, "Go away! Hurry up and take Jiu to take care of that immobile little bastard! If he gets sick from the cold, he'll definitely have all sorts of crazy ideas!"
She waved her hands: "Forget it! I'll go! I don't trust you two to do things!"
Ah Jiu was embarrassed: "Sister Mingzhu, it would make me even more worried if you were to go!"
The light snow fell from the sky and landed on Biqing's nose, making her nose slightly itchy and causing her to sneeze loudly.
Biqing rubbed her nose, and the thin cuffs came into view, making her sigh in her heart.
Along the way, she didn't get along well with Mingzhu and the others, so it was understandable that no woman would call her to keep warm together.
Biqing looked at the wolf demons huddled together for warmth and cast envious glances at them.
Coincidentally, she found that Mingzhu, who was taking care of the wolf demon with a spinal injury, was also looking at her.
Biqing quickly pretended nothing happened, lowered her head and stopped looking.
Her body felt heavy, and a source of heat mixed with a biting breath enveloped her completely.
Biqing raised her head and was about to say something to refuse: "Xuan Yi, your injury..."
"Put it on," Xuan Yi said. "My injuries haven't healed yet, so I don't have any extra demonic power to take care of you."
Biqing remained silent, her gaze gradually calming down as the person in front of her moved.
After thinking for a moment, she took off the gray wolf fur wrapped around herself.
Biqing paused for a long time, took a deep breath, and as if she had made up her mind, she moved closer to Xuan Yi and covered the two of them with her clothes.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, at least we don't have to worry about anyone getting cold.
Xuan Yi hadn't expected Bi Qing to do this, and the tips of his ears instantly felt extremely hot.
The sound of whispering reached his ears, and Xuan Yi's face turned cold. He glared at the other wolf demons who were watching the fun with a warning.
The wolf demons sensed the dangerous gaze of their king, and huddled together in groups of three or four, pretending to be fast asleep.
Only Mo Jue covered his face and smiled secretly, then lowered his eyes and remained silent, with a heavy heart.
Xuan Yi's gaze stayed on Mo Jue for a long time without moving.
Biqing looked in the direction he was going and pursed her lips.
After surviving the disaster, Biqing should have let bygones be bygones, but she thought to herself that she was not magnanimous enough to not care about other people's affairs.
Biqing pulled the wolf fur coat over, and the thick fur on the collar covered half of her face, hiding her expression.
Biqing stopped looking at Xuan Yi and Mo Jue.
Let the two brothers handle the matter between themselves.
Warmth gradually rose, and fatigue swept over her. Biqing yawned and leaned drowsily on the shoulder of the person next to her.
Xuan Yi didn't dare to move, and stood straight, for fear of waking up the woman who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
The half-curled eyelashes were like the crescent moon in the sky, so quiet that Xuan Yi was fascinated for a moment.
Xuan Yi felt a slight pain in his abdomen and came to his senses. He secretly controlled his demonic power to relieve the pain.
His eyes fell on the endless ice surface that reflected the faint light and had no end in sight.
Thinking too much is harmful to the body, so Xuan Yi didn't look at it again. He closed his eyes and rested, conserving his energy for the next journey.
——
"Wow!"
The woman's surprised voice woke up the sleeping Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi slowly raised his eyelids and saw Bi Qing squatting not far away.
There was a flash of orange-red in front of her, splashing on the ice surface, and the translucent thick ice looked like orange-red glass.
The wolf fur coat covering Xuan Yi's body slid from his shoulders to his abdomen as he stood up.
He didn't remember when he fell asleep, nor did he remember when Biqing covered him with clothes.
Xuan Yi pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance: I shouldn't have been unaware of such a big commotion.
“I can actually see the sun from here!”
Biqing's cheerful words caused all the wolf cubs to look up at the sky, and they asked repeatedly, "Where is it?!"
They have never seen the sun since they were born, and they don't know what the sun looks like.
The only thing they knew for sure was that the sun would hang in the sky like the moon.
Biqing pointed at the orange-red patch at the end of the ice: "There!"
The wolf cubs all looked in the direction Biqing pointed, then all looked back at Biqing, chirping and asking, "Sister Biqing, is the sun one big piece?"
"Sister Biqing, the moon is yellow, but why is the sun red?"
"Sister Biqing, isn't the sun in the sky?"
"It's in the sky when it rises!"
Biqing pointed at the slightly red sky above her head and said, "When the sun rises, it will be here! But..."
Her eyes fell back onto the ice surface, and Biqing stared at the ice patterns on it.
Under the thick ice several feet deep, there are many upside-down icicles strung together by water droplets.
Biqing frowned unconsciously: "If the sun comes out, the ice will melt."
"The sun in the demon world cannot rise, so the ice will naturally not melt."
"Xuan Yi!"
"Your Majesty!"
When the wolf cubs saw Xuan Yi coming, they quickly made way for him.
Last night, Brother Liaoying and other brothers and sisters in the clan said: It seems that the king has a special relationship with Sister Biqing.
The wolf cubs tilted their heads, their faces full of thought.
How unusual is it?
Xuan Yi ignored their looks and put his clothes back on Biqing: "Maybe it's because we are closer to the human world that we have the chance to see the sunlight."
He sighed: "It's really nostalgic."
"So, the sun can be seen from the edge of the Kunlun lineage?"
Biqing stood up and said, "Where there's sunshine it shouldn't be too cold, right?" Then she asked, "How are your injuries?"
"It's okay," Xuan Yi said. "It's good that it doesn't hurt."
Bi Qing frowned: "What kind of logic is this? There's a huge difference between no pain and recovery!"
The towering mountains are endless. Unlike when we came here, only the mountaintops are covered with snow, while the mountainside and foot of the mountain are bare, revealing large areas of original black rock.
Xuan Yi raised his head slightly: "After crossing this ice, we will reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain."
Biqing's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Great! It's finally here!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. The closer you get to the foot of Mount Kunlun, the more careful you must be."
Xuan Yi instructed the wolf cubs, "Go find Ajue and tell him to follow at the end when we travel tonight."
The little wolf cubs didn't dare to delay and ran to find Mo Jue to pass on the message.
"It won't take a few days to travel, right?" Biqing asked worriedly, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet!"
Xuan Yi saw that the wolf cubs had disappeared, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Biqing, did you feel cold after you woke up?"
Bi Qing shook her head, "No. Why are you asking?" Her eyes swiveled as she looked at Xuan Yi in shock, "Could it be that you're lying...?!"
Realizing she had lost her composure, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered in disbelief, "You said the ice wouldn't melt... were you lying?"
Xuan Yi didn't deny Bi Qing's words. "You don't feel cold even with such thin clothing. The temperature here is clearly slightly higher than after entering the Kunlun Mountains. A high temperature means the ice in front of us will melt."
"No wonder you're traveling at night."
"Don't take it lightly. Setting out at night is just as dangerous."
Xuan Yi stared at the strangely calm ice surface and said in a deep voice, "Who knows what will happen."
