Chapter 88 Chapter 88 "You can't sleep in the same bed with Biqing! ...
Biqing was about to respond to Xiao Zouwu when Xuanyi beside her chuckled sarcastically, "Given your actions of running away from home without a word, it's understandable that your parents wouldn't tell you about this item."
Biqing's brows knitted together, and she freed one hand to tug at Xuan Yi's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.
Before Xiao Zouwu could begin to refute Xuan Yi, he spoke first: "It's the Immaculate Bell."
"Zouwu will not eat any beast except one that has died of its own accord."
Biqing walked forward, not giving the two a chance to argue. "Even if you have voracious appetites, you'll eventually be full. Caiyu, have you ever considered how the remaining bones disappeared without a single corpse remaining in the Lin Clan Kingdom?"
Little Zou Wu pondered Bi Qing's words with a puzzled look on his face: "That's not right. There were a lot of corpses on the road I ran out! It's not like what you said, there are none at all!"
Biqing's heart sank, and she subconsciously looked at Xuan Yi beside her.
Xuan Yi was also looking at her, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking about what Xiao Zou Wu had said.
Little Zou Wu noticed something was amiss between the two of them and jumped onto Bi Qing's head. "Don't disbelieve me! You'll know once we reach the oasis ahead!"
"I don't disbelieve you."
Biqing felt like she had a water tank on her head. She took the little Zouwu down and changed the subject, "Is your home after the oasis?"
Little Zou Wu said, "We still have to walk a little further. Once we see the snow-capped mountains, we'll be at my doorstep."
Biqing jokingly said, "So your home is on the snowy mountains. No wonder you have so much hair!"
"I have more hair, but it keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer." Little Zou Wu glanced at Xuan Yi proudly. "The most important thing is that I don't shed much!"
Xuan Yi said dismissively, "You can't transform."
What's wrong with hair loss?
Even if I change my shape, not a single hair will fall off.
Little Zou Wu grumbled, "You can't sleep in the same bed with Bi Qing!"
Xuan Yi was speechless after being choked by Xiao Zou Wu. Bi Qing even patted Xiao Zou Wu's head lightly and said with a blushing face, "Of course Xuan Yi can't sleep in the same bed with me!"
She threatened, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tie you up and send you to your parents. Anyway, I know where to go."
Little Zouwu closed his mouth and jumped off her shoulder, leaving a string of small plum blossoms on the flat yellow sand.
Biqing and Xuanyi followed behind it, walking at first, but as the little Zouwu sped up, the two had to fly to keep up.
Xuan Yi sighed, "A thousand miles a day, the reputation is well-deserved."
Bi Qing was stunned and said with a smile, "It's strange that you would praise Cai Yu. I always thought you looked down on it."
"It's a spiritual beast superior to me," Xuan Yi said calmly, "I have no right to look down on it."
He didn't have much affinity with the little thing, but he never denied its ability.
As early as when he was reading ancient books with Biqing, he knew that this little thing could run to the human world from such a distant Lin Kingdom by himself. He admired the courage of this little thing from the bottom of his heart.
It’s just that his ability to protect himself is not something he likes.
It was the first time Biqing heard Xuan Yi say such self-deprecating words. She said, "Spirit beasts and demons are all living beings from the six realms. Status is just empty talk."
Biqing held Xuanyi's hand and said, "You always tell me to stop overthinking. Why do I feel like you're even more sensitive than I am?"
Xuan Yi patted her hand and smiled gently, "You're absolutely right. I was overthinking it."
Seeing Xuan Yi's relaxed expression, Bi Qing stopped talking and pulled him to catch up with Xiao Zou Wu.
Green grass the size of soybeans enlarged in front of Biqing's eyes. Through the dense shade of the trees, Biqing saw a clear and transparent lake dyed red by the setting sun.
There are also many scattered bones.
Xuan Yi took a quick look and said, "It's from an animal, probably been dead for decades."
Bi Qing quickly glanced at the scattered bones and secretly complained: Decades? Then the Immaculate Bell is...
Disappeared decades ago?
Things were far beyond Biqing's expectations.
She leaned close to Xuan Yi's ear, stood on tiptoe and whispered to him, telling him what she was thinking.
It is necessary to discuss with Xuan Yi again to see what plan to make.
Time is extremely precious to them now.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Yi didn't react much when he heard that Wuqueling was missing. He was neither disappointed nor panicked.
His calm demeanor made Biqing even more impatient.
Bi Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Xuan Yi, you don't want to meet Cai Yu's parents and then help..."
Xuan Yi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
Bi Qing said, "But we don't know the whereabouts of the Wuque Bell. How can we help them find it? Even if we are lucky enough to know where the Wuque Bell is, Cai Yu's parents are not fools. How can they not see through our little tricks?"
What Xuan Yi wanted was to take the artifact back to the demon world under the pretext of helping to find the Immaculate Bell, but never return it.
Biqing could understand his feelings.
However, Wuqueling has disappeared for at least several decades. During this period, Caiyu's parents must have searched for her, but the results were obviously not satisfactory.
Biqing didn't think they could successfully find the Wuque Bell, nor did she want to waste time on such an illusory thing.
Xuan Yi said nonchalantly, "Then you and I will set a deadline. If we can find it, we'll both get a bargain. If we can't, that's to be expected. You and I will hurry and find the next artifact."
He would give it a try as long as there was a little hope.
"Come here, you two!"
The cry of the little Zouwu interrupted their conversation. It rushed forward, bit the hem of Biqing's skirt, and dragged her towards the lake: "Let's rest here tonight. If it's windy later in the night, we'll have these trees to block it."
Biqing, who could use her spiritual power, was not tired at all. She possessed her body and picked up the little Zou Wu, saying, "No need to rest, let's continue on our journey."
"But I can't walk anymore!" Little Zouwu yawned.
"I'll hold you," Biqing said. "Just point me in the direction, and leave the rest to Xuanyi and me."
"Then why didn't you hug me just now?"
Little Zou Wu turned over in Biqing's arms, feeling aggrieved. "My paws are almost rotten from walking so much!"
The ground is full of sand, it will burn the spirit beast to death!
Xuan Yi said indifferently, "You're running so fast, who can catch up? If you don't tell me, who will know what you're thinking?"
Little Zou Wu rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't talk to me for a day?"
"Yes." Xuan Yi said without hesitation.
Little Zou Wu closed his eyes and said to Bi Qing, "Fly higher and head north. You should be able to see the next oasis, but it's a little small. You must look carefully. Call me when you feel cold."
After saying that, it leaned its head against Biqing's arm, fell asleep in Biqing's arms, and slept soundly.
Biqing and Xuanyi exchanged a glance and said, "Let's go. There's no time to lose."
Xuan Yi was basically the only one who could travel at night. He would go ahead to determine the direction and would frequently ask Bi Qing, who was following behind him: "If you feel cold, be sure to let me know immediately."
Biqing responded, knowing that wolf demons weren't afraid of the cold. Looking down at the unconscious little Zouwu sleeping in her arms, she felt a surge of envy for it and Xuanyi.
I wish I had a coat of warm fur.
A fuzzy bamboo popped up in Biqing's mind at an inopportune time, and she frowned with a look of disgust on her face.
If there is no fluff, then there is no fluff, but we can still wear clothes to keep warm.
——
The next oasis was much farther than they had expected, and Xuan Yi led Bi Qing to fly for a whole night.
A faint red light appeared on the horizon, and the two finally saw an oasis under their feet.
Unlike the oasis we encountered first, this one is only half the size of the previous one, but the water is clearer and you can see the sand and rocks deposited on the bottom of the lake.
Biqing wanted to continue forward, but Xuanyi said, "Rest for a while." Then he slowed down his pace, held Biqing's slender arm, and brought her to the oasis.
Biqing didn't feel tired even though she didn't touch the ground. As her feet touched the soft sand, she felt tired.
Biqing yawned, looked at Xuanyi, whose brows were slightly tired, and said, "I am a little tired."
She found a place to sit on the ground, staring at the tall figure in front of her in a daze.
Xuan Yi conjured a bone bowl out of thin air and filled it halfway with water from the small lake in front of him.
He didn't rush to hand it to Biqing. He carefully purified it with his demonic power, took a small sip, and stood there waiting for a moment.
After confirming that everything was fine, Xuan Yi turned and walked over to Bi Qing. He squatted down and handed her the bone bowl, "Drink without worry."
The scene seemed familiar. Biqing freed one hand to take the bone bowl and tightly embraced the little Zouwu with the other hand.
She couldn't help but recall the first time Xuan Yi handed her the bone bowl.
The water in the bone bowl at that time came from the demon world. Because it was corroded by foul air, my skin began to fester after I drank it.
She still remembered that time when she was afraid that Xuan Yi had poisoned the edge of the bowl, so she drank from the spot where Xuan Yi had pursed his lips.
Now that I think about it, I was both cautious and funny.
Biqing couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
"Have you thought of anything interesting?" Xuan Yi sat down next to her and asked curiously.
He seemed to have never heard Biqing talk about anything interesting.
Biqing smiled and asked, "Are you sure you want to listen?"
Xuan Yi paused, a strange feeling igniting in his heart.
He felt that this matter might be related to him.
But what had I done to make Biqing so happy? To make her laugh every time I thought about it?
Xuan Yi was genuinely curious and nodded to indicate that he wanted to listen.
Biqing drank the water in the bone bowl slowly and said, "I remember the first time we met, you gave me unclean water to drink."
Xuan Yi suddenly regretted: Why did he have such a strong curiosity?
He was clearly past the age of being curious about everything.
Little Zou Wu, who was still sleeping soundly in Biqing's arms, yawned, rolled over in Biqing's arms, buried his head in Biqing's arms and continued to sleep soundly.
Bi Qing brought the bone bowl to Xuan Yi's lips and said, "I remember that time when I was afraid you would poison me, so I was smart enough to drink the same thing you drank."
Xuan Yi took the bone bowl and drank the remaining water from Bi Qing.
He was deeply impressed by this incident.
Not only did he notice all of Biqing's actions, but also because Biqing was in rags and looked extremely miserable at that time, which was very different from the fairy he had imagined in his mind.
After spending some time together, Xuan Yi felt that Bi Qing was more real, more like a "person" with flesh and blood, rather than a high and mighty, arrogant "god" like Zi Teng.
"You actually still remember all this." Xuan Yi said helplessly, "That's not good."
"What's wrong with that? It's so fun!"
Biqing didn't care about those things at all: "My fall into the demon world was already bizarre enough. I was also rescued by the wolf demon leader, followed him to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and then went to the human world, and worked with him to find the artifact to save the people."
She said proudly, "There aren't many gods in heaven who have had experiences like mine. Their lives are filled with nothing but rigidity. They're nowhere near as good as me!"
Changing the subject, Biqing continued, "But this wolf demon leader loves to take the blame for everything. It wasn't his idea, but he insisted on slandering me and taking the blame for me. I don't appreciate that."
She deliberately asked, "Xuan Yi, do you think I should be ungrateful?"
Xuan Yi could tell Bi Qing was angry because he had slandered her, so he followed Bi Qing's words and said coaxingly, "As it should be. This wolf demon leader is truly arrogant."
Bi Qing covered her face and chuckled softly, "Xuan Yi, I know you feel sorry for me. You see how hard it is for me to accompany you in searching for the artifact, and you don't want me to suffer any more."
She looked at the person next to her: "Auntie said that everyone is responsible for their own actions. I did it, and if you take the blame for me, it will only make me feel guilty and I will never be able to face you again."
Biqing leaned closer to Xuanyi and fluttered her eyelashes at him. "You don't want me to ignore you in the future, right?"
