Chapter 96 Chapter 96 "When winter comes, we will go together...
The man completely ignored Biqing's disgusted tone and said ecstatically, "You're still alive! That's great!"
"Get out!"
Biqing glared fiercely at the man in front of her who was wearing a green robe with large bamboo embroidered on the front and a jade crown on his head.
She would recognize this person even if he turned into ashes.
Brocade sheath.
The fellow tribesman who had bullied her since childhood.
Not only did he bully himself, he also called his brothers and sisters and friends to bully her together.
Jin Xi was already accustomed to Bi Qing's harsh words, so he didn't take them to heart. He just kept talking to himself, "Bi Qing, I've been searching for you in the human world for over a year, and I finally found you!"
"It must have been hard for you to search for me for so long."
Bi Qing sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do. You want to capture me and take credit for it? Only if I die!"
Jin Xi's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he hurriedly explained, "I'm not here to take you back! Biqing, I'm here..."
"Biqing!"
The man's low and gentle voice was filled with an unsuppressible cruelty, which made Jin Xi's body stiffen for a moment.
"Xuan Yi!"
Biqing ran to Xuanyi in a panic, wanting to take Xuanyi away from this dangerous place, but her hand was held tightly by someone.
The force was much greater than usual. Biqing frowned slightly and said aggrievedly, "Xuan Yi, you hurt me."
Xuan Yi didn't respond to Bi Qing's words, but loosened his grip slightly. "Who is he?"
Xuan Yi felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Bi Qing explained succinctly, "Jin Xi, he was the one who led others to bully me when I was a child."
Xuan Yi's eyes were as deep as the abyss, staring intently at Jin She.
Jin Xi: "...I don't deny that I bullied you, but didn't you fight back when you grew up? When you hit me, I never fought back once!"
He glared back at Xuan Yi, unwilling to be outdone, and said arrogantly, "A mere wolf demon, you really don't know your place!"
Xuan Yi snorted coldly, and his sword appeared out of thin air in front of him. He grasped the scabbard and told Bi Qing, "Wait here for me."
The moment he drew his sword, he flashed in front of Jinshe and slashed with the sword.
Jin Xi didn't expect Xuan Yi to move so quickly, and hurriedly used his spiritual power to block the cold light that was slashing towards his chest.
"I really underestimated you!"
Jinshe casually summoned his long sword. The blade of the sword was shaped like a bamboo leaf and was extremely sharp.
Xuan Yi had never seen such a strange sword before. He was surprised for a moment and stabbed Jinshe with his sword.
Tonight he wanted nothing else but to seek justice for Biqing for the bullying she suffered in her early years.
Xuan Yi and Jin Xi soon became entangled with each other and fought fiercely.
The green light mixed with the blue light illuminates the dark night sky.
Xuan Yi's swordsmanship was sharp and ruthless, and he was thinking of Bi Qing all the time. After a few moves, he directly shook the long sword in Jin Xi's hand away.
Xuan Yi didn't want to take Jin Xie's life, so as not to cause trouble for himself and Bi Qing, so he kicked Jin Xie hard in the heart.
Jin Xi was unable to dodge and was kicked hard by Xuan Yi. She flew several feet away and fell heavily to the ground, splashing dust everywhere.
Jinxie felt such unbearable pain in his heart that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He propped himself up and saw Biqing pulling Xuanyi away quickly. He coughed a few times and squeezed out two words with all his strength: "Biqing..." Then he fainted.
——
Lijia Village.
Jinshe's appearance ruined Biqing's mood. She didn't feel like going back to the night market, so she dragged Xuanyi back to the village.
After entering the house, Biqing, contrary to her usual behavior, did not turn on the light. Instead, she sat in a chair with her feet on the edge of the chair, hugged her knees with her hands, and curled up into a ball.
Xuan Yiye could see clearly, and even without turning on the lights, he could still see Biqing's angry face.
Thinking that Biqing didn't light the lamp because she didn't want him to see her appearance, Xuan Yi pretended to be cautious and approached Biqing, squatting down, and coaxing her like she had coaxed him during the day: "I'm sorry, I can't take his life."
Bi Qing muttered, "I'm not angry about this. I'm so happy that you helped me. But don't do this again next time. You don't have any grudges against him, and you still have your own tribe. There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble for me."
Xuan Yi followed her words and said, "This won't happen again. From now on, I won't do anything without your instructions. Will that make you happier?"
Biqing's annoyance disappeared the moment Xuan Yi finished speaking.
She jokingly said, "Xuan Yi, do you really care whether I'm happy or not?"
Xuan Yi nodded.
Biqing had been in the dim room for so long that her eyes had adjusted to the darkness, so she naturally nodded without hesitation when she saw Xuan Yi.
In the pitch-black room, only Xuan Yi's golden-blue eyes were bright.
Biqing couldn't help but raise her slender white fingers and gently place them on the corner of Xuanyi's eyes.
The warm skin made Biqing's fingertips tremble, and an inexplicable burning heat surged in her heart, as if it wanted to burn her to ashes along with her bones.
Biqing realized that she had overstepped the line and quickly pulled her hand back, but was grabbed by someone.
Biqing struggled for a moment, feigning slight anger: "Let go!"
"Biqing," Xuan Yi said softly, "When winter comes, let's go eat candied haws together."
In the past, Xuan Yi was unsure of Bi Qing's feelings for him.
Holding hands was something that he and Biqing had long been accustomed to.
The more this happened, the more Xuan Yi couldn't be sure whether Biqing really liked him or whether she had already regarded the act of holding hands as a habit.
The more you can't guess, the more worried you become.
Biqing's words and actions tonight completely dispelled Xuanyi's anxiety.
He likes Biqing and Biqing likes him too.
Xuan Yi wanted to impulsively break the window paper that should have been broken long ago, but his reason told him again and again: He could not give Biqing any promises at the moment.
He couldn't promise Biqing anything because of his tribe.
He couldn't be so selfish as to ask Biqing to abandon everything and follow him to the demon world to live a life that was far less free than that in the human world.
The only thing he could promise was to accompany her to eat the candied haws that she had been craving for in winter.
As long as he was still alive at that time, he would definitely keep his promise and accompany her to eat.
"Candied haws are sour and sweet, are you used to eating them?" Biqing deliberately changed the subject.
Even though it was pitch black around her, she could still feel Xuan Yi's sincere and passionate gaze.
It was Xuan Yi who did not hide his fondness for her.
No desire.
No greed.
No spur of the moment action.
Only the love that is responded to wholeheartedly can be appreciated.
Xuan Yi raised the corner of his mouth: "Whether you like it or not, you'll know after trying it."
In his heart, it doesn’t matter whether the candied haws taste good or not.
Biqing looked at the big hand holding hers, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Don't regret it. If you don't come to me in winter and accompany me to eat, I will run away and make sure you can never find me again, and I will never talk to you again."
Xuan Yi smiled warmly, "Okay. Dongri, wait for me."
"That's right."
Biqing belatedly remembered something and told Xuanyi, "Jinxie isn't familiar with your demonic powers. Use them to isolate this place to prevent Jinxie from bringing people from the heavens. This way, you'll be safer."
Xuan Yi's eyes turned, and he asked, "Would you like to go back to the demon world with me and hide there for a night?"
In fact, you can hide for many nights, even for a lifetime.
Apart from staying in the human world for several days to search for the artifact, he and Biqing had very few opportunities to stay in the human world alone.
Biqing shook her head: "Tomorrow we will set out to find Fairy Caiyun and ask her about the artifact. There is no need to go through all this trouble."
Thinking back to Xuan Yi's rather heavy kick, Bi Qing said, "No matter how powerful Jin Xi is, it would take him a whole night to recover. He wouldn't be able to come here so quickly."
Xuan Yi didn't try to persuade Bi Qing. He gathered his demonic power and formed a barrier that enveloped the entire house and courtyard.
Xuan Yi pulled out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom, gathered demonic power at his fingertips, drew a talisman, and stuck it on the door.
"Hidden Breath Talisman." Xuan Yi said, "I should be able to sleep well tonight."
Bi Qing blinked and asked, "Xuan Yi, are you comfortable sleeping after transforming back into your true form?"
Xuan Yi didn't understand why Bi Qing asked this, so he said bluntly, "My true form or my transformed form doesn't make much difference to me. But if I have to say which is more comfortable, I'd definitely sleep better in my transformed form."
Biqing said timidly, "But there is only one bed in the room."
This afternoon, she saw Xuan Yi, who had transformed back into his true form, lying on her lap, soundly sleeping. She had thought Xuan Yi preferred to sleep in his true form...
She never thought that Xuan Yi would sleep more comfortably after transforming.
Xuan Yi pulled the hand he was holding in his palm and pressed his cheek against the white back of the hand. He smiled and said, "I'm used to sleeping on the floor. It's not a big deal."
Biqing whispered, "If you hadn't lost your hair, I would have let you have sex even if you had turned back to your true form..."
Xuan Yi: "...That little thing also sheds, don't you let it sleep with you?"
Why do you have to bring up the issue of hair loss when it comes to me?
Biqing pulled her hand back: "Caiyu is shedding, but he's still a child, just like Ah Jiu. Of course it's okay for us to sleep together!"
"But you're different. You're over 2,700 years old. It's really strange for me to sleep in the same bed with you. And I stopped losing my hair when I was hundreds of years old. Why are you still losing hair at this age?"
Xuan Yi: "...My hair loss has nothing to do with my age. Biqing, admit it, you just dislike the fact that I shed more hair than that little thing."
Since he said so, Biqing stopped hiding it and said, "You dropped too much. I can't clean it up."
Xuan Yi: "...I'll transform back into my true form and sleep with you. I'll clean up the cushion myself. What do you think?"
Biqing shook her head: "It's winter, your fur is too thick. Lying on my legs in the afternoon is like a stove. I feel like I'm about to be roasted."
Xuan Yi didn't argue with Bi Qing anymore. He stood up and walked to the bunk bed. He silently took down the mat covered in his wolf fur and spread it on the floor. He transformed back into his true form and lay on it. He urged, "Rest quickly. Don't we have to go find Fairy Caiyun tomorrow?"
Biqing could tell that Xuan Yi was unhappy. She climbed onto the couch in the dark, lay down on it, reached out her hand, gently stroked Xuan Yi who was lying on the footstool, and fell asleep peacefully.
Xuan Yi's tail tip moved, and he slowly fell asleep while listening to the even breathing of the person on the couch.
Both of them slept well that night. The next day, they opened their eyes at dawn and set off refreshed.
Before leaving, Xuan Yi packed up the small green mat, used his magical power to collect all the wolf hair, and set off with Bi Qing.
Biqing: "...I know you are the one who keeps your promises the most!"
The two of them looked through the booklet, determined the location, and rushed to Qifengjian where Fairy Caiyun was.
Qifengjian is close to the heaven, so Biqing drew a breath-hiding talisman before going there to conceal her aura and avoid getting into trouble.
Thinking that Xuan Yi might not be able to use his demonic power, Bi Qing gave Xuan Yi 30% of her spiritual power, which was enough for Xuan Yi to protect himself.
On the way, Biqing flipped through the booklet with two pages left in her hand, and prayed silently in her heart: I must find a magical artifact that can completely purify the water source these two times.
She has the intention to return to heaven.
But if you can avoid going back, it’s better not to go back.
