Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "Next time, don't leave me alone in the house...
Xuan Yi turned around and said, "Biqing, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk tomorrow."
"It's a bit late to talk about it tomorrow."
Biqing took the bedding off the bed and stuffed it into Xuanyi's arms. "It's cold and dewy in the human world at night. Take care of yourself."
Little Zou Wu jumped onto the bamboo bed, stretched himself, and looked at Xuan Yi triumphantly: "You'll be guarding the door tonight!"
Xuan Yi put the bedding back where it belonged and walked out of the room without looking back: "See you tomorrow."
Biqing felt that Xuan Yi was a little strange. She tossed and turned on the couch, unable to sleep, and always felt that Xuan Yi was in a very low mood.
Is he angry because I didn't give him the bed?
Biqing turned sideways, her eyes falling on the books neatly stacked on the table. Looking at the half-read book, Biqing's heart tightened.
I wonder how Xuan Yi is doing in clearing the foul energy from his body?
Biqing felt extremely uncomfortable. She lifted the thin quilt covering her body, put on her clothes, stood up, and went to look for Xuanyi.
When she opened the door, she saw a normal-sized gray wolf sitting at the door, leaving its back to her.
Biqing: “…”
She seemed to be able to imagine Xuan Yi wandering around her doorstep all night last night...
The wolf's ears twitched, and Xuan Yi turned around and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Biqing sat beside Xuanyi, stroking his furry head. "Thinking about how busy you've been all day, with not even a place to rest, I felt so bad that I couldn't sleep."
Xuan Yi shook his head, transformed into a human form, and sat beside Bi Qing, smoothing down his slightly messy hair. "It's okay. I've long been accustomed to living in the open air in the demon world."
Recalling their days in the demon world, Xuan Yi and Bi Qing sighed in unison.
"Now that we're in the human world, we don't have to sleep outdoors anymore," Biqing said. "Come with me into the house and rest."
Xuan Yi shook his head. "That's inappropriate. If others saw you and me...how would you explain it? A girl's reputation is extremely important. I can't take advantage of you."
"What are you thinking about!"
Bi Qing was speechless, then said: "I let you into the house, so of course you have to turn back into a wolf!"
Xuan Yi: "...I feel more comfortable outside."
Little Zou Wu, who was still sleeping soundly in the house, heard the rustling sound and opened his eyes reluctantly.
Seeing a wolf following behind Biqing, Xiao Zuowu's eyes suddenly became sharp and he pounced down from the couch.
Little Zou Wu flew into the air and was caught by Bi Qing, holding her in her arms. "It's none other than Xuan Yi."
The little Zou Wu snorted, "With a body this small, how is it any different from a wild wolf running around in the wilderness?"
Xuan Yi, who had transformed back into his true form, scoffed and ignored its words. He asked Bi Qing, "Where should I sleep tonight?"
Biqing took a look at the gray hair stuck to her clothes in the moonlight, and conjured up a green mat of moderate thickness next to the footstool.
"Just sleep here!" Biqing pointed at the mat.
The blue light glowed like a firefly in the deep night.
This is Biqing's spiritual power.
Xuan Yi walked forward slowly and found a comfortable position to rest.
The moment he lay down, Xuan Yi felt like... a dog.
Glancing at the little Zou Wu nestled in Biqing's arms, Xuanyi felt uncomfortable and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why is it allowed to sit on the bed?"
"Because it can't transform."
Bi Qing lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "Xuan Yi, you should get some rest soon. Every day we delay the water source matter will increase the danger for Jiu and the others. And regarding Master Mo Jue, neither of these matters can be delayed."
"Well, go to bed early."
Xuan Yi responded, closing his eyes and listening to Biqing's long breathing.
Xuan Yi began to feel jealous when he thought of Xiao Zuowu and Biqing sleeping on the same bed.
Although it is a spiritual beast that cannot transform, Biqing dotes on it too much and even sleeps with it in her arms under the same quilt.
Xuan Yi felt even more jealous.
But he hadn't made his feelings clear to Biqing yet, so he had to endure the frustration.
Xuan Yi was feeling depressed and had no desire to sleep.
He opened his eyes and stared at the mat in front of him that was glowing green.
Xuan Yi tried to activate his own demonic power to see if Biqing's spiritual power could suppress him if he were in the human world.
Xuan Yi did not feel the expected demonic power running rampant in his body. He restrained his demonic power, lay quietly where he was, closed his eyes and rested.
In the human world, it is a good thing that his demonic power can coexist with Biqing's spiritual power.
In the haze, it seemed as if something fell on him, light yet reassuring.
The morning light is dim and roosters are crowing.
Xuan Yi slept very well and woke up feeling refreshed. All the fatigue that remained from last night was gone, and he felt extremely peaceful.
As he yawned, he vaguely heard the voice of a woman talking to someone outside the house.
Xuan Yi stepped out of the spiritual power mat, transformed into a human form, and went to the courtyard to look for Biqing.
He placed his hand on the wooden door, and a talisman drawn with spiritual power appeared on the door, blocking Xuan Yi's way.
Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows and sat back at the table silently, drinking cup after cup of warm tea, quietly venting his dissatisfaction.
Biqing, dressed in coarse cloth, was talking to a woman of about her age in the courtyard: "Aying, you don't look well. Did something happen?"
"I heard that Aunt Li is here to propose marriage to you. Could that man be my brother?"
The woman called Aying was the "Agui's sister" mentioned by Aunt Li the day before.
Aying is lively and Biqing likes her coming to see her.
Seeing Biqing nod, Ah Ying said disdainfully, "Auntie Li just loves to worry! You mustn't agree to that! My brother looks so naive, he's not worthy of you!"
The person in front of me is as beautiful as a fairy, and then I look at my brother, who is stupid. Putting them together is like a fairy and a beast!
Biqing forced a smile awkwardly but politely.
Aying can comment on her brother at will, but she absolutely cannot.
Because Ah Ying was there, Bi Qing spoke with a little more leniency: "Your brother is actually a pretty good person."
Inside the room, Xuan Yi's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment.
"It's just that I'm face-blind and can't remember what your brother looks like."
Xuan Yi raised the corners of his mouth and savored the tea-flavored water in the cup.
"You don't even remember what my brother looks like, how do you know he's a good person?"
Ah Ying was speechless and raised her hand to cover Biqing's forehead: "Biqing, are you sick?"
Crouching in the courtyard, Little Zou Wu muttered, "She must be ill! Not only did she take the wolf demon in, she also used her spiritual power to protect him and heal him!"
Little Zou Wu's words turned into a "woohoo" sound when they reached Aying's ears.
Ah Ying looked past Bi Qing at the black and white little Zou Wu and asked in confusion, "Bi Qing, what is your dog saying to the house?"
"Nothing, maybe I'm hungry."
Biqing gave Xiao Zouwu a look, and Xiao Zouwu immediately understood. He pretended to be hungry and circled around Biqing's feet.
"Here! I made this this morning! Have some!"
Ah Ying pulled out half a cake from her sleeve and threw it in front of the little Zou Wu. "It's a little ugly, but as long as it can guard the house, it's a good dog! You'll enjoy life following Bi Qing!"
You are ugly!
Little Zou Wu gave her a sharp look, picked up the cake and ran to the side, pretending to eat it.
Ah Ying looked at Bi Qing: "Why do I feel like your dog is scolding me?"
Biqing laughed heartily: "How could that be? You must be seeing things!" She changed the subject and said: "It's getting late, Ah Ying, aren't you going home to help your brother?"
“He…”
"Aying! Why are you here?!"
Aying and Biqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Agui sitting in a donkey cart that was borrowed from someone, with a set of brand new wooden furniture dragging behind the cart.
When Ah Gui saw Bi Qing, a blush appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Qing, Miss Qing is here too..."
He jumped off the donkey cart: "Are you going to the city too? We can go together..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "clatter" sound from inside the room, as if a teacup had fallen to the ground.
Ah Ying and Ah Gui both looked at Bi Qing. Ah Ying came to her senses first and hid behind her brother in fear: "Bi, Bi Qing, is there a thief in your house?!"
"No, no..." Biqing choked and couldn't think of any excuse for a moment.
Ah Gui casually picked up the axe used to chop wood in the yard and said, "Don't be afraid! I'll go in and take a look!"
Biqing was shocked and said quickly, "It's not a thief! It's... it's the cat I picked up on the way home yesterday!"
She stood in front of the door and said, "How could a thief be so bold as to steal in broad daylight? This cat is so clingy. It meowed all night last night. Now it must be scared because I'm not in the house, so it's running around and breaking the cup."
“It’s so scary!”
Ah Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead. Seeing her brother still standing there like a fool, she pushed him and asked, "Have you seen enough?"
Agui came back to his senses, lowered his head and scratched it embarrassedly.
Ah Ying rolled her eyes at him and urged, "Are you going to deliver the goods? Are you going to make money?" She tugged at her brother's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and leave!"
She waved at Biqing and said, "I'll come see you some other day! Then we can go to the city and play together!"
"good!"
After the two sides agreed, Aying pulled her brother onto the donkey cart and rushed to the city to deliver the goods.
After watching Aying and her brother leave, Biqing breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the spell, and pushed the door open to enter the house.
Xuan Yi flipped through the book on the table as if nothing had happened. Bi Qing frowned and asked, "Xuan Yi, why did you break the cup?"
She didn't believe that Xuan Yi was someone with unsteady hands who couldn't hold a cup.
Xuan Yi paused as he flipped through the pages of the book, then returned to normal: "It wasn't me, it was the cat."
"Where did the cat come from?"
Bi Qing snatched the book from Xuan Yi's hand and said angrily, "There was something wrong with you coming to see me yesterday!"
"If you're angry because I hid something from my aunt, I apologize! I didn't mean to hide it from you!"
Biqing's face was covered with an unrelieved rage: "If it's not because of this matter, then please explain clearly!"
Xuan Yi also knew that he had gone too far just now.
Although the man's words to Biqing were ordinary, they took on a different meaning when they fell into his ears.
He tried hard to remind himself: Biqing would not like that kind of mortal.
But he was afraid that Biqing would soften her heart and agree to go to the city with the man.
Xuan Yi was extremely panicked and stood up to rush out of the room, but unexpectedly, his sleeve scraped against the teacup on the table.
The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Xuan Yi stared at the broken teacup in a trance, as if what was shattered on the ground was not the teacup, but his own heart.
Xuan Yi covered Bi Qing's hand that was holding the book. "I didn't mean to break the teacup or cause you any trouble."
He lowered his eyes. "You know I have excellent hearing. I heard everything you said clearly. I was afraid that if you went out today, I would have to wait alone until dark like I did yesterday."
"I don't think you're causing me any trouble."
Biqing blinked, looked at Xuanyi, and asked in disbelief, "Just because of this?"
Xuan Yi nodded: "Just because of this matter."
He was not afraid that Biqing would be away all day and feel lonely.
He was afraid that Biqing would get too close to that mortal and forget about him.
Biqing really couldn't understand why such a thing had to be concealed. She stared closely at Xuan Yi's mandarin duck eyes.
When their eyes met, Biqing saw that the pair of mandarin duck eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Biqing's cheeks felt hot, as if she had been scalded by hot oil. She pulled her hand back abruptly and said haltingly, "Okay, okay! I know! Next time, next time I go out, I'll ask you to come!"
"Biqing, this is what you said."
Xuan Yi looked at the blushing woman in front of him and took the book from her. "Next time, don't leave me alone in the room."
"Hurry up and get busy!"
Biqing turned her head to avoid the burning gaze of the person in front of her: "I will go with you today! Let's hurry up and set out to find a way to purify it as soon as possible!"
Xuan Yi sat back down and carefully flipped through the books. Thinking of Bi Qing's company, he suddenly felt that the mountain of books in front of him didn't seem so boring anymore.
