Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "Xuan Yi, I'm back!"...
A rare seriousness emerged between Biqing's brows, and Xuanyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Bi Qing's shoulders sank slightly, and she took a deep breath before asking, "Xuan Yi, do you still remember why the foul energy from the demonic realm flooded into the monster realm?"
The past surged in Xuan Yi's mind like a tide. Even though it had been a thousand years, it was still vivid in his mind, as if it were yesterday.
Xuan Yi lowered his voice and said, "Of course I remember. During the great war between immortals and demons, the barrier collapsed, and foul energy surged uncontrollably into the demon world..."
Biqing continued, "During that battle, High God Chisong severely injured the Demon Lord, but accidentally slashed through the barrier with his sword. The sun and moon in heaven hung upside down for hundreds of years, and the Demon Lord vanished from sight and disappeared."
Bi Qing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xuan Yi. "The Celestial Realm took this opportunity to sign a peace treaty with the Demon Realm. By the time you came to your senses, the water source had already been corrupted by the foul energy, and there was no chance of reversal."
Xuan Yi's surprised expression was reflected in the teacup.
Bi Qing smiled faintly: "Are you wondering why I know all these things so well?"
Xuan Yi raised his eyelashes and looked at the woman in green before him.
Biqing paused for a moment, her eyes falling on the page in her hand: "Goddess Chisong is my aunt."
When in the demon world, Biqing had already guessed that the foul air that flooded into the demon world must have been caused by her aunt.
During the war between immortals and demons, he remembered his aunt's heroic deeds in heaven and her frequent travels in the human world.
Just piece it together and you will get the answer.
During the time Biqing had been living with Xuan Yi in the demon world, she had imagined more than once what he would do if she confronted him.
Was he so angry that he killed himself to vent his anger?
Or abandon yourself halfway and let yourself die?
Or would he tie himself up and use himself to threaten his aunt who came and went without a trace?
Biqing sighed, and quietly met Xuanyi's eyes, waiting for him to slam the door and leave.
Biqing waited and waited, but what she finally heard was Xuanyi's regretful sigh.
"So what if she's your aunt?"
Xuan Yi's voice was as calm as water. "Chisong is Chisong, and you are you. I've said from the beginning that you didn't do it, and I won't vent my anger on you. This matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end. If you insist on blaming yourself, I have nothing to say."
Bi Qing lowered her eyes: "I should have made this clear to you in the demon world. I... I can't..."
"You are in a difficult situation in the demon world. It is understandable that you didn't tell me directly. I don't blame you."
Xuan Yi slowed down his tone and said, "Tracing back to the source, it's the grudge between the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Lord. If anyone is to blame, it should be them. What does this have to do with an insignificant god like you? Moreover, you..."
Xuan Yi stopped abruptly.
Biqing raised her head and asked doubtfully, "What's more?"
Xuan Yi's throat rolled, but he didn't say the words "You are not having a good time in heaven."
Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Your sense of responsibility shouldn't be used in this kind of situation."
Xuan Yi knew Bi Qing wouldn't give up on her plan because of his words, so he said, "If you insist on taking the responsibility on yourself, then come with me to find a way to purify the water. This way I can save some effort, and you'll feel better too."
Biqing muttered, "You've said all the words, what should I say?"
Xuan Yi smiled and jokingly said, "If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, are we going to waste time here until tomorrow?"
"Who said I won't say it anymore?"
Biqing said, "You snatched it away from me mid-sentence! I sincerely want to find a way to purify the water! You and I are so connected, and you're willing to join me in this search. I'm naturally delighted!"
Before Xuan Yi could even show any joy, Bi Qing continued, "But finding a method of purification is no easy task. It's probably a thousand times more difficult than what you encountered in the demon world."
She couldn't help but worry, "I won't be able to find my aunt anytime soon. We're the only ones left with the water source right now. It's going to take some time, Xuanyi, can you afford to wait?"
"Why can't I wait?" Xuan Yi said with a wry smile. "I've endured for thousands of years, so why should I be afraid of wasting a few days?"
The little Zou Wu, lying on the table, said, "Since you can wait, I'll leave the farm work in the yard to you these few days! And guarding the gate! You're a wolf demon with a sharp nose, so you're definitely better than me!"
"The divine beast guards the door, warding off disasters and evil spirits."
Xuan Yi glanced at him and said with a hint of meaning, "I am just a wolf demon. How can I compare with a divine beast like you?"
Little Zuo Wu angrily leaped into Bi Qing's arms and bared his teeth at Xuan Yi: "You wolf demon! I'll take care of you when I get the chance!"
Biqing touched Xiao Zouwu's head and said helplessly, "Why are you arguing again?"
There's really no point in talking if you don't agree.
Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, his gaze moving from Biqing's face downwards to rest on the little Zouwu in her arms.
The little Zouwu felt frightened by Xuan Yi's gloomy gaze, and shrank uncomfortably into Biqing's arms.
Bi Qing said, "I have some ideas on finding a method of purification."
Xuan Yi asked, "Biqing, can you tell me about it?"
"Later, there are still some things I haven't fully investigated."
"What's the matter? Do you want me to help you?"
"Since you've said that..." Biqing smiled, "Then thank you very much!"
Xuan Yi thought it was something important, and he even prepared to go out.
Unexpectedly, Biqing beckoned her fingers and used her spiritual power to take down the top row of books from the bookcase.
More than a dozen books fell neatly in front of Xuan Yi. Bi Qing moved her fingers, and the book on the top seemed to be blown open by the wind. After turning a few pages, it was spread out in front of Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi's eyelids twitched: "What is this...?"
"It's your business!"
Bi Qing said, "I spent a lot of effort to find this book from various mysterious sects in the human world."
A trace of green spiritual energy fell on the blank paper spread out on the table, rolling up the paper and landing next to Xuan Yi's hand.
"It should contain some information about the location and story of the purified items. Be very careful when reading it. There may only be a few fragments, so don't miss them."
Biqing produced her jade pen and handed it to Xuanyi: "If you see anything, write it down on paper."
Xuan Yi took the pen and listened as Bi Qing continued, "Just leave it where you are when you're done. I'll come and help you later! By the way, is there anything you'd like to eat today? Do you like mutton meatball soup?"
"This wolf demon is so stupid, he probably doesn't even know what mutton is!"
Little Zou Wu said, "Why don't you find me some dead venison to eat!"
Biqing patted the little Zou Wu's head gently and said, "You've been in the human world for quite some time now. Do you really have to eat these weird things?"
"We Zouwu only eat 'meat that died naturally'. Unless you can guarantee that the animals used to make the meat are already dead... Right!"
Little Zou Wu realized it later and said, "Don't they have to die before they can be made into meat for mortals to eat?"
It was so angry that it jumped up and down on the spot: "What are all those dead rabbits and dead deer I've eaten recently?!" The more it thought about it, the angrier it became: "Biqing! I want to eat a hundred dumplings! To relieve my anger!"
"If you really eat a hundred of them, your little belly will burst!"
Bi Qing twisted her fingers, and in the blink of an eye, her green hairpin skirt turned into a coarse cloth shirt.
Xuan Yi looked at the person in front of him: Although the clothes on her body were roughly made, they could not hide the extraordinary temperament of Biqing.
It especially makes her fair and clean face more eye-catching.
No wonder that woman wanted to act as a matchmaker for Biqing.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yi's eyes instantly turned cold. He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and asked slowly, "Biqing, how long have you lived here?"
Biqing, who was about to leave, stopped and said, "Less than two months. What happened?"
Xuan Yi endured it and said, "It's okay, go and get busy."
Less than two months after arriving, people were already thinking about me.
He must see who on earth had the courage to covet this little bamboo.
Biqing had no idea of Xuanyi's inner thoughts and pushed the door open and walked out.
She took the bamboo basket and slung it over her arm. She looked around and made sure that no one else was around before she used her magic to disappear in the yard and head towards the city.
Little Zou Wu muttered, "He's quite careful. There's no one else around."
Xuan Yi glanced at him and asked coldly, "How many men in this village are around Biqing's age?"
Little Zou Wu looked up at Xuan Yi, sizing him up and down. "I've never been out of the house, so how would I know?"
——
It was already evening when Biqing returned. The fiery sunset glow sprinkled on the village full of fireworks, depicting the unique warmth of the world.
She put down the bamboo basket and happily opened the door: "Wangcai! I'm back!"
"Why are you only greeting it?" Xuan Yi stood up and went to greet it, not hiding his dissatisfaction.
"I'm not quite used to you being here yet."
Biqing smiled awkwardly and added, "Xuan Yi, I'm back!"
Where is the discomfort.
I just felt that greeting Xuan Yi in this way was really strange.
Xuan Yi showed a hint of joy on his face.
Biqing leaned over and touched the little Zouwu that was rubbing against her trouser leg: "Are you hungry? I bought you some dumplings. I'll cook them for you later."
Little Zuo Wu was so angry that his head was shaking, leaving an afterimage. He rammed his head into Xuan Yi's calf, determined to destroy himself along with the enemy.
Biqing felt embarrassed: during the few hours when she was not at home, the two of them must have had another argument.
She released a bit of spiritual energy and landed it on the little Zou Wu's throat. She heard two "coughs," followed by the little Zou Wu's complaint: "You wolf demon, you bully the weak with your might!"
"Keep your voice down!"
Biqing covered Xiao Zouwu's mouth with her hand, a hint of anger covering her brows: "Everyone in the village is home. If you shout so loudly, be careful they might catch you off guard and sell you for money!"
She threatened, "If they really capture you, I won't redeem you!"
Little Zou Wu nodded repeatedly, glared at Xuan Yi fiercely, and said nothing more.
Xuan Yi ignored Xiao Zuowu's gaze and stood up to follow Biqing to the courtyard, wanting to help her. However, Biqing pushed him back into the house, "Don't come out! If someone sees me, I won't be able to explain myself!"
Xuan Yi asked, "What do you want to explain?"
Thinking of what the woman said, he said hurriedly, "Are you worried that other men might misunderstand you?"
Bi Qing mercilessly drove Xuan Yi back into the house: "It's not just men! There are women, old people, and children too!"
Biqing's cooking skills were questionable, so she bought some cooked food from the city market and heated it up before eating.
Xuan Yi looked at the table full of steaming meat dishes. The only dish of green vegetables mixed in seemed out of place.
He looked at Biqing who was serving mutton meatball soup and smiled faintly.
Bi Qing, adhering to the principle of treating everyone equally, first served Xuan Yi a bowl: "Here, drink it while it's hot so it tastes better."
Xuan Yi nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
Biqing served another bowl to little Zouwu before sitting back in her chair and starting to eat.
"I don't know what you like to eat, but since you only eat meat in the demon world, I bought some meat. There's no one else in the room, so just help yourself to whatever you like."
After dinner, Biqing used her spiritual power to clean the table and asked Xuanyi, "How was your day? Did you find anything?"
Xuan Yi shook his head: "I haven't seen any words related to purification yet."
Biqing smiled, used her spiritual power as a light source, picked up one of the books and read it carefully.
Xuan Yi then threw himself into it.
In the blink of an eye, it was already three quarters past midnight.
Biqing yawned and twisted her sore shoulders: "Let's stop here for today."
Xuan Yi nodded, closed the book, and said, "I am indeed tired."
Glancing at the only bunk bed in the room, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, Biqing, you should go to bed as soon as possible."
Xuan Yi stood up and left. Just as his hand was about to touch the door, Bi Qing's voice rang out from behind him: "Xuan Yi! Wait a moment!"
