Chapter 48 Chapter 48 "Biqing, we've been apart for so long, you...
"Xuan Yi? Why are you..." running to the human world?
Biqing hadn't expected Xuanyi to come to the human world and find her place. Before she could finish her words, she heard the person in front of her anxiously ask, "Biqing! Do you remember what you promised me?"
Biqing was confused by Xuan Yi's question. She couldn't remember what she had promised him.
Biqing couldn't admit she didn't remember. To avoid upsetting Xuanyi, who had come all the way to look for her, she nodded rapidly, "I remember, I remember! I remember everything!"
Fearing Xuan Yi would ask further questions, she quickly changed the subject: "But could you please help me chop the firewood first, and then help me water the vegetable patch?"
Xuan Yi: “…?”
He repeated in disbelief: "Water...?"
Doesn't she miss herself at all?
Since Biqing left, the two have not seen each other for three months and sixteen days.
During this period of time, he concentrated on healing his injuries and clearing out the foul energy in his body during the day, not daring to delay for even a moment.
At night, when it was quiet and everyone was asleep, I felt sad.
Xuan Yi took off the hydrangea tied around his waist and played with it over and over in his hands.
Biqing left the demon world in such a hurry that she forgot the hydrangea was still in her hand.
The image of the girl holding the injured wolf cub appeared in her mind. She smiled at herself and said from the bottom of her heart: "Monsters are also common people in the world."
The girl's eyes were bright and penetrating, deeply engraved in Xuan Yi's heart, dispelling the fatigue in him.
No matter how many times he reminded himself that there was a difference between gods and demons, he forced himself to forget Biqing's existence.
He could never erase those eyes from his mind.
I think about it day and night and can't sleep.
Xuan Yi suppressed the impulse that surged in his heart countless times and resisted the urge to come to the human world to look for her.
Xuan Yi had never imagined that love could be so torturous. It was like a seed buried deep within his heart sprouting roots, breaking through his heart, growing unchecked within him, uncontrolled by his will.
We have gone through so much hardship to reach the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and we must not allow any mistakes to occur.
He and Mo Jue were busy dividing up their living territory, threatening the leopard demon grandparents to lead the way, getting familiar with places they had never set foot on, and negotiating with the demons who had lived there for a long time.
The water at the foot of Kunlun Mountain is much cleaner, but it still needs to be purified before it can be drunk.
He also taught the wolf cubs how to purify water so that they could drink it daily and maintain their strength.
When he had some free time, he went to treat the wolf demon with a broken spine, hoping that he would recover soon.
After all, they were brothers. Mo Jue could see that his brother was worried. His eyes turned and he said, "Brother, there's nothing important in the clan right now. Why don't you go to the human world and take a look?"
He pointed at the lake before him. "The water here is clean, but the foul smell remains. If the root cause is not resolved, we will eventually have to leave for another land. By then, you probably won't know where to go, right?"
Xuan Yi looked in the direction Mo Jue pointed and sighed, "I know the truth, but finding something to purify the foul energy is no easy task."
He paused and said, "Besides, I don't trust you to stay alone in the clan."
"Why are you worried? Brother, you are just too nervous."
Mo Jue asked, "You always said before that you hoped I would take over the clan affairs soon so that you could share some of the burdens. Now is a rare opportunity for me to gain experience, why are you unwilling to do so?"
Xuan Yi said, "How can you and I find something that can purify the foul air so easily?"
"We don't know, but there's someone who definitely knows?"
Seeing Xuan Yi's hesitation, a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in Mo Jue's eyes.
He reminded him, "Brother, Fairy Biqing is in the human world! You saved her life. As long as you find her, why worry that she won't help you?"
"Biqing..."
"Fairy Biqing is a deity. Now that her spiritual power has been restored in the human world, she is completely different from when she was in the demon world. Brother, if we don't go now, when will we go?"
"How can you be so sure that she knows how to purify the foul air?"
Mo Jue frowned at Xuan Yi's excuse. He said bluntly, "She doesn't know, but don't you still have her? Brother, you have to find a way to purify the foul energy. Even if she doesn't help you, don't you still have to go to the human world?"
Mo Jue pulled out a dagger: "If you don't want to go because you don't trust me, then I am a sinner! I might as well kill myself!" As he said that, he actually put the dagger on his neck.
"Stop pretending to be dead."
Xuan Yi released a burst of demonic energy, knocking away Mo Jue's already loosely gripped dagger. "I'm leaving for the human world tomorrow. Before I return, you must take care of the clan's affairs. Especially keep an eye on everyone, and don't let them run off to other demon clans' territories and cause trouble."
"Don't worry, brother!"
Mo Jue chuckled: "I finally have some free time, I won't commit suicide."
Xuan Yi shook his head helplessly, packed up simply the next day, and before leaving, he repeatedly gave Mo Jue instructions and set out on the road to the human world.
He recalled the fragrance of Biqing when he first met her, and found her scent among the many scents in the human world.
He rushed to this remote and quiet village without stopping, tied up a dog-like spirit beast, and wandered around Biqing's house all night.
I thought Biqing would be overjoyed to see me, but unexpectedly she asked me to help chop wood and water the plants...
Xuan Yi looked at Bi Qing with disappointment and frustration, and asked again, "Really... do you want me to water the vegetable patch?"
Biqing sensed something strange in Xuanyi's words. After a moment's thought, she said, "If you don't want to water the plants, chopping wood is fine."
Xuan Yi's hand, which was holding her shoulder, slowly dropped to the side of her leg.
Biqing didn't care about Xuanyi. She looked around and asked worriedly, "Xuanyi, have you seen Wangcai?"
Could it be that he was really captured by the immortal cultivator?
Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Biqing, during these days apart, have you ever... have you ever missed us?"
"Of course there is!"
Biqing's answer was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Xuanyi's eyes.
Seeing Biqing passing by him, as if she had something extremely important to do, Xuan Yi grabbed Biqing's hand and asked, "Biqing, are you going to look for that extremely ugly black and white dog?"
"What's ugly about it?" Biqing retorted, and asked, "Xuanyi, have you seen it?!"
"At the door."
Xuan Yi hooked his finger, and the little Zouwu, which was tied into a ball by the blue demonic power, flew from the doorway to the two of them.
The little Zou Wu struggled desperately, and Bi Qing felt distressed. "Let him go! He's a spirit beast!"
Xuan Yi restrained his demonic power and released Xiao Zou Wu, explaining, "Yesterday, I came to look for you but was stopped by it. I was afraid it would scream, so I activated its mute xue and tied it up."
Little Zuo Wu stamped his feet in anger and opened his mouth but made no sound. Bi Qing hurriedly untied the mute acupoint that Xuan Yi had pressed on him.
"You're the ugly wolf demon!"
Finally freed from his muteness, the little Zou Wu chattered non-stop, "You're obviously not a proper demon! You've been squatting outside a woman's house all night, you're nothing but a hooligan! I'm beating you up and enforcing justice!"
Biqing looked at Xuanyi and asked in disbelief, "You were squatting at my door all night? Why didn't you knock?"
"How can he knock on the door without hands!"
Before Xuan Yi could speak, Xiao Zuo Wu took over Bi Qing's conversation, "I heard a noise outside the door in the middle of the night, so I jumped out the window and saw a wolf sitting upright at your door! I was so scared I almost lost my soul!"
Biqing looked at Xuan Yi as if he were a freak. "How could your demonic power be so weak? Is it because the foul energy within you hasn't been cleared yet? Do you want me to help you?"
Xuan Yi turned his eyes away. "The foul energy in my body has been completely cleared, so there's no need to worry. It's not that my demonic power is weak, it's that I haven't thought about what to say to you when we meet..."
Xuan Yi imagined many things in his mind that the two of them would say when they met last night.
After much thought, Xuan Yi decided to say a few words that were both caring and polite.
But in the early morning, I heard a woman talking to someone: "I think the newly moved girl from Qing is a good match for that boy. Their families are similar, and the age difference is not that big. If she marries him, she will have a younger sister to keep her company..."
Xuan Yi quickly concluded that the girl the woman was talking about was Biqing.
Seeing Biqing hurriedly opening the door, Xuan Yi mistakenly thought that she was going to look for someone else. He suddenly became anxious and grabbed her shoulders and asked her questions in a rude manner.
At that time, there was only one thought in his mind: Biqing must not be allowed to leave the yard.
Obviously, I was overthinking it.
An unnatural blush appeared on Xuan Yi's handsome face.
"Just ask me if I'm hungry!" Bi Qing rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "You're dragging me out into the cold wind!"
"No wonder Biqing doesn't like you!" Little Zou Wu chimed in, "A monster is a monster! You're just not very smart!"
Xuan Yi stared blankly at the spirit beast before him and let out a creepy laugh, "Without the title of divine beast, you're no different from a wolf demon like me."
"Alright, alright!" Bi Qing hurriedly stopped him. "Did you come looking for me just to argue with him?"
Xuan Yi hesitated and asked again, "Biqing, do you really not remember what you promised me?"
Bi Qing nodded and said seriously, "I really don't remember."
Xuan Yi remained silent.
Seeing Xuan Yi's doubtful look on his face, Bi Qing couldn't help but laugh, "I'm kidding! How could I not remember? I've always kept Master Mo Jue's affairs in mind."
"But I have to finish what I'm doing first."
Biqing pushed away Xuanyi's hand, took an axe and a piece of tree trunk, and chopped wood like the villagers.
"I'll do it." Xuan Yi took the axe.
Biqing released her hand and kindly reminded Xuanyi, "There are many people in the village and they have many eyes. You must not use your demonic powers~"
She stepped aside and looked at the crops that had sprouted yesterday, her eyes occasionally falling on Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi, dressed in a gray gilded fur coat, was chopping wood with an axe.
Xuan Yi's movements were natural and agile, but his extravagant attire was out of place in the simple courtyard.
Realizing Biqing was looking at him, Xuan Yi paused and glanced at the woman in green clothes beside him without leaving a trace.
He saw the woman's eyes, clear as spring water, full of tenderness.
Xuan Yi withdrew his gaze with joy, but found that Xiao Zuowu was staring at him with resentment on his face. He snorted coldly.
Soon, Xuan Yi had chopped the firewood and placed it in an orderly manner.
Biqing was very satisfied after seeing this. She took Xuanyi's wrist and led him into the house to sit down.
The furnishings in the room were unusually simple, which surprised Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi glanced at the black and white fur on the chair, cleaned it up with a wave of his hand, and sat down slowly.
Little Zou Wu also followed in. Seeing Xuan Yi dislike his fur, he jumped onto the table and angrily said, "Bi Qing hugs me all day long while sleeping! She doesn't even dislike me!"
Xuan Yi glanced at the bamboo bunk bed and said, "You have no self-awareness at all. Biqing is shy, and she's embarrassed to look down on you."
Biqing took a book from the bookshelf, opened it, and sat next to Xuanyi, pointing at the pattern drawn on it.
Xuan Yi took the book and flipped through it carefully. When he had finished reading it, he returned it to Bi Qing.
Bi Qing collected the book and put it back where it belonged. "We need to put Master Mo Jue's affairs aside for now. If you're anxious, I can show you the way. You can go ahead."
Xuan Yi said, "Biqing, I'm not here just for this matter."
"I know." Bi Qingfeng said calmly, "The issue of the water source hasn't been completely resolved yet. You certainly didn't come looking for me just for Young Master Mo Jue."
Xuan Yi frowned slightly and said, "I'm here because of the water source. But I'm not coming to find you to force you to come with me. This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Xuan Yi."
Biqing's face was unusually serious. "I have something else to tell you about the water source."
She spoke word by word, "It's very important."
