Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "Your Majesty, Sister Biqing will be the Queen...
Xuan Yi looked at the wisteria flowers in the pit and asked, "How long will it take to ripen these flowers? Is a month enough?"
Liuque held up a finger: "One and a half months."
Xuan Yi said, "The Zhaixin Bottle can purify for only two months."
He looked at his brother and said, "Don't you have too much demonic power and don't know where to use it? Come back in half a month to ripen the wisteria flowers. The purification process must not be interrupted."
Mo Jue patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
If his brother asks him to do something, he will do it even if it costs his life.
Liuque tsk- ...
Xuan Yi frowned: "You say."
Liuque cleared his throat and said, "Growing flowers is not as simple as you think." A bit of demonic power flew past the stem of the wisteria flower, causing it to tilt slightly.
Liuque said, "If you plant them straight like this, flowers won't grow. Not only do you need to water and fertilize them every day, but you also need to prune, get rid of insects, and prevent diseases. Do you really think you can just do it casually and make flowers bloom?"
Seeing Mo Jue's skepticism, she snorted, "Sister Biqing's true form is a bamboo. She must understand what I'm talking about!"
Mo Jue and Xuan Yi looked at Bi Qing in unison.
Biqing nodded. "Miss Liuque is right. Wisteria flowers have the ability to purify foul air. We must be careful to protect them, lest our efforts be in vain."
Liuque agreed: "Sister Biqing still understands me!"
On their journey away from home, Xuan Yi and Mo Jue had seen many flowers and plants, some that were lush and beautiful, others that were strange and bizarre.
Just because they've seen one doesn't mean they know how to raise one. Clearly, neither of the brothers is good at this.
Xuan Yi looked at Biqing and asked, "Biqing, are you willing to stay here and help take care of this wisteria?"
Her true form is a bamboo, so she must know more about growing flowers than I do.
Biqing shook her head, her tone extremely firm: "I want to go with you to find the artifact."
The answer was as expected. Xuan Yi knew what Bi Qing meant and did not try to persuade her any further.
He cast his gaze at Liuque with some disbelief.
“…I’m quite good at growing flowers!”
Receiving Xuan Yi's gaze, Liu Que held her head high and puffed out her chest. "Leave this to me! I've been eating and drinking for free here for a while now, so I have to do something to show my appreciation!"
"Thank you," Xuan Yi said. "Please pay close attention to the matter of the wisteria flowers."
Sensing his brother's lost expression, he said, "Ajue, don't be idle either. If Liuque forgets or has something she can't handle, remember to help her."
Xuan Yi warned, "Don't argue with her."
Mo Jue nodded: "I know."
——
The matter of the wisteria flowers was finally settled, but Xuan Yi's sword had not yet been completed. Thinking that his clan did not have the tools needed to grow flowers, he asked Liu Que to go to the human world to buy the necessary tools himself.
He also did not forget to let Mo Jue go with him on the grounds that he was a member of the clan, so that Liu Que would not act too recklessly and attract the attention of the cultivators in the human world, which would put his life in danger.
It's a good opportunity to give myself some peace and quiet for two days.
Liu Que gave Xuan Yi a familiar roll of the eyes: "Before the demon world got into trouble, I went to the human world."
However, since she could go with Mo Jue this time, Liu Que didn't bother with Xuan Yi anymore.
Before Liuque and Mo Jue left for the human world, Biqing stuffed a purse into Mo Jue's hand and said, "Master Mo Jue, here are some copper coins and a few pieces of silver. It's not much, but it's enough for the two of you to buy things this time."
Mo Jue weighed the heavy purse in his hand and said respectfully, "Fairy Biqing is indeed very thoughtful. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Biqing smiled and said, "If you see anything you want in the human world, use this money to buy it." She then warned, "But if you don't have enough, don't use magic to turn it into silver. You will attract malicious cultivators, and the entire wolf demon clan will suffer."
Not only because of the monks, Biqing is also afraid of disrupting the balance of money circulation in the human world.
Liu Que stared curiously at the purse in Mo Jue's hand: "Sister Biqing, where did you get so much silver?"
Bi Qing said, "I earned the copper coins by selling the vegetables I grew. The small change was given to me by a divine beast when I rescued it."
Liu Que was about to ask more, but Mo Jue glanced at the time and urged, "Brother asked us to come back before tomorrow night. Let's go quickly, it will take some time to pick things up."
Biqing watched them leave the barrier, then turned around and saw Xuan Yi standing not far away.
Biqing walked up to him and said jokingly, "Now you can finally have two days of peace and quiet."
Xuan Yi said, "Whenever they get together, they quarrel non-stop. It's really giving me a headache. I finally got two more days to stay in the clan, and I want to rest well."
It was impossible for the two of them to talk all the time. Xuan Yi was worried that Bi Qing would be bored in the clan, so he tentatively suggested, "Ajiu and the others miss you very much. Why don't you go see them when you have time?"
"Okay!" Biqing said with a smile, "Why not do it now!"
Xuan Yi led Bi Qing to an open space, and immediately saw Ming Zhu transformed into her true form, pretending to chase Ajiu and the others and play with them.
Mingzhu chased after him, shouting, "Run faster! Move your legs! How can I play with you if you run so slowly?"
Ah Jiu panted and said, "Ming... Sister Mingzhu... you can play by yourself... I can't run anymore..."
A little wolf cub dragged his legs, unable to lift them, to the side and said, "I, I will never again...never again play with Sister Mingzhu..."
Ajiu and the others are just kids after all, and no matter how good their endurance is, it is far inferior to Mingzhu's.
Several little wolf cubs were lying nearby, panting and sticking out their tongues.
A few of them buried their heads in the basin, gulping down the purified water that had been contained therein early in the morning.
"You little brats! It was you who insisted on asking me to play with you, and it was you who said you didn't want to play!"
Mingzhu transformed into a humanoid and pointed at the wolf cubs lying on the ground. "Did you eat too much and can't run anymore?! Eat less starting today!"
Mingzhu smelled a familiar scent with a slight twitch of her nostrils. She quickly turned around and said respectfully in the direction of the scent, "Your Majesty!"
When Ah Jiu and the others heard that their savior had arrived, regardless of their fatigue, they rushed to Xuan Yi's feet and surrounded him and Bi Qing, complaining in a flurry of voices:
"Your Majesty! Sister Mingzhu is bullying!"
"Your Majesty! What brings Brother Liaoying back? Sister Mingzhu is so fierce!"
"Your Majesty! I can't run anymore and Sister Mingzhu is chasing me... wuwuwu..."
Xuan Yi's eyelids twitched: These little wolf cubs are not much quieter than Mo Jue and Liu Que.
"Do you think I'm interested in playing with you guys?"
Mingzhu blushed and tried to explain, "Your Majesty, they insisted on pestering me! You know I don't like children that much!"
"Pearl."
Mingzhu stiffened when she heard Xuan Yi's calm voice. She buried her head deeper, waiting for Xuan Yi to scold her.
Xuan Yi said calmly, "You must be tired after spending so much time with them. We'll need you to hunt for food later. Leave this to Biqing for now."
Mingzhu was overjoyed that she didn't get the expected scolding. She thanked Xuanyi hastily and left the place in a flash.
When the wolf cubs heard that Biqing was accompanying them, they raised their front paws and pounced on Biqing, leaving plum blossoms on her green dress. "Hello, Sister Biqing! I love playing with Sister Biqing!"
Biqing smiled and said, "Miss Mingzhu is also very good."
It's just a bit fierce.
Xuan Yi noticed the claw marks on Biqing's skirt and said, "Life is relatively peaceful now, and you've reached the age to transform. As long as Ajue's barrier remains, you can live in your form."
After hearing Xuan Yi's words, the wolf cubs stopped being polite and suddenly they transformed. In front of Biqing and Xuan Yi, there were many boys and girls around thirteen or fourteen years old.
The little wolf cub that had just pounced on Biqing was a little smaller. After transforming, it turned into a little girl about ten years old.
Fourteen-year-old Ajiu was the oldest. He pulled the little girl's arm and said, "Sister Biqing can't touch the water of the demon world. You've stained Sister Biqing's clothes, and Sister Biqing can't wash them!"
The little girl realized it belatedly and lowered her head, as if she had done something unforgivable: "Sister Biqing, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Biqing rubbed the little girl's face and said with a smile, "Isn't your king still here?"
Her eyelashes curved as she smiled softly at Xuan Yi: "Right, King Xuan Yi?"
Biqing's smile touched Xuanyi's heart. He didn't hear what Biqing said just now, but just nodded in agreement with her.
The wolf cubs looked at their king, then at Sister Biqing. One of the bravest ones suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, could Sister Biqing be the queen?"
Xuan Yi and Bi Qing were both startled. They looked at each other in unison, then looked away in tacit understanding.
A look of shame appeared on Biqing's face.
Xuan Yi's face darkened as he scolded, "You're so young, yet you're so frivolous! Is this how Ah Jue taught you?"
He dreamed of being with Biqing every day, but he couldn't express his true feelings openly and honestly.
These words will only add to Biqing's troubles and burdens.
It’s better not to say it.
Seeing that their king had a solemn expression and was as black as the bottom of a pot, the little wolf cubs hid behind Ajiu in fear, not daring to make a sound.
Ah Jiu was always bold. He grumbled, "A man of integrity has nothing to fear! You're not the one who keeps talking!"
He didn't say that, so he's not afraid of the king getting angry!
The atmosphere became tense. Biqing didn't want to see this scene, so she slowed down her tone and said, "Xuan Yi, it's a rare occasion for you to come back, so don't scare them."
Biqing ignored Xuanyi's expression. She took Ah Jiu with one hand and the little girl with the other, leading them towards the small hillside. "I have a lot of rare items brought from the human world. Let's go over there and take a look secretly without telling Xuanyi!"
After walking a few steps, Biqing turned around and found that the wolf cubs were still frozen in place. She said to Jiu, "Tell them to come over."
Ah Jiu nodded, turned around and shouted, "Sister Biqing has a treasure here! Do you want to see it?"
The little wolf cubs looked at Biqing expectantly, but were afraid of their king's aggressive aura, so they stood there in confusion.
Until Xuan Yi relented and said, "Go."
The group of little wolf cubs then spread their legs and ran towards Biqing in a black crowd.
The wolf cubs hadn't transformed in a long time, so they weren't used to their own two legs. They ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, which looked very funny.
What's worse, some people fell down after running only a few steps, covered in dirt.
Xuan Yi couldn't bear to look at it.
The little wolf cubs, who were not used to their legs, stumbled and slowly walked towards Biqing, just like little babies who had just learned to walk.
Biqing found it amusing and stood there patiently waiting for the wolf cubs to come.
Xuan Yi was afraid that the group of little kids wouldn't have a good time playing around Biqing if he stayed next to her, so he didn't go near her. Instead, he walked a few steps away and found a comfortable spot to sunbathe.
Xuan Yiren didn't go over, but he had very sharp ears. He heard Biqing rustling around as she took out a bunch of objects from her sleeves, and then heard Biqing introducing them one by one amid the admiration of the little wolf cubs.
Those were all prepared by Biqing in order to step into the Shiwan Mountains. Unfortunately, except for the insect repellent ointment and the veil, the others were of no use.
Biqing and the wolf cubs had a lot of fun playing together. When the sun set and the red glow dyed half the sky, the laughter faded away reluctantly.
The wolf cubs followed Mingzhu to get tonight's dinner, while Biqing returned to their residence with Xuanyi.
When they got outside, Biqing called out, "Xuan Yi!"
The big hand that touched the door paused, Xuan Yi turned around and stared at Bi Qing, whose cheeks were dyed red by the blushing clouds.
"Do I still have to sleep here tonight?" Biqing asked, twisting her sleeves.
