Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "Without your life, how are you going to get rid of your heart...
Xuan Yi was enveloped in a chill as cold as the water in a lake during the coldest days of winter. He shuddered and suddenly woke up.
What caught my eye were the woman's eyes, red as a rabbit's.
There was a large patch of festering skin on the woman's fair face, like mutton-fat jade stained with a little red.
"Biqing...?"
"Xuan Yi!"
Xuan Yi's voice was hoarse and raspy, but Bi Qing could still clearly hear the disbelief in his voice.
She held Xuan Yi's hand and choked up, "You finally woke up..."
She wiped the tears from her face and said, "I'll go call Master Mo Jue!"
"Don't go."
Xuan Yi squeezed her hand with all his strength: "Wait... I'll go find him later."
Bi Qing's mouth flattened, she shook off his hand and stood up to look for Mo Jue: "I'm not listening to you! Don't you know what your own body looks like?!"
While Biqing was looking for Mo Jue, Xuan Yi took a quick look around and found himself in a tree hole.
Turning my head, I saw the grass reaching the level of my ears.
Xuan Yi began to feel dazed.
He tilted his head and moved closer.
Come closer.
The moment the tip of my nose touched the grass, a unique scent of grass came to me.
Xuan Yi showed a relieved smile on his face. When he heard the noisy footsteps not far away, he turned his head and lay back in his original position, pretending to be asleep.
"elder brother!"
Mo Jue rushed over and shouted anxiously: "Wake up! Open your eyes and look at me!"
Xuan Yi closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a soft touch on his forehead. He heard Bi Qing in front of him say in confusion, "He was awake just now! How come he fell asleep again in such a short time? Is he delirious due to the fever?"
"We must wake up my brother!" Mo Jue said urgently, "If he continues to sleep, I'm afraid he'll become really confused!"
Upon hearing this, Biqing's tears, which had barely stopped flowing, burst forth once more. She sobbed, "If only I could use my spiritual power! I could definitely save Xuanyi with my spiritual power..."
Xuan Yi's heart tightened as he heard Biqing cry harder and harder. He opened his eyes and said, "Stop crying... I'm not dead yet..."
"elder brother!"
Mo Jue rushed forward and said repeatedly, "You're finally awake! You've been having a fever for several days! You scared us to death!"
He didn't dare to think about how he would face the days without his brother.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Xuan Yi spoke with great effort: "How much of your demonic power did you use to save me?"
"It didn't take much," Mo Jue said. "I used the demonic energy you left on the talisman paper. It's all your own. I just added a little to it. It won't hurt you."
Seeing a hint of coldness in Xuan Yi's eyes, he glanced at Bi Qing, who was wiping tears beside him, and whispered, "Brother! Don't be so quick to scold me! Go and thank Fairy Bi Qing. She saved you."
"When you fell into the lake, she jumped in without a second thought. Her movements were so smooth that I didn't even react. When she fished you out, your face and the backs of your hands were covered in sores. She still hasn't asked Mingzhu to help her check them."
Xuan Yi's pupils dilated.
Before my consciousness faded, the warmth in my hand was not fake...
Xuan Yi felt like there was a piece of cotton stuck in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe and causing him to cough uncontrollably.
Mo Jue and Bi Qing heard him coughing, and both came forward, using four hands to help him breathe.
When Xuan Yi stopped coughing, he said, "Ajue."
Mo Jue understood immediately. He knew that his brother must have a lot to say to Bi Qing, so he made an excuse: "I'll go see if the patrolmen have returned." He disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Knowing that his brother was fine, Mo Jue finally put his mind at ease and was in the mood to take care of the people in his clan.
Biqing sat beside Xuanyi and leaned forward to ask, "Would you like some water? It's been purified by Master Mo Jue."
Xuan Yi looked at her face without saying a word.
Xuan Yi's gaze was like a branding iron, burning Biqing's festering skin with unbearable stinging pain.
She tilted her head slightly, took the water she had prepared earlier, and changed the subject dryly, "You have no idea how many times Master Mo Jue cried quietly during the few days you were unconscious. And Ah Jiu and the others have been listless all day. Xuan Yi, you have to get better soon. Everyone needs you, and so do I. I'm still waiting for you to take me to the human world..."
"When you saved me, didn't you ever think that the foul-smelling water would kill you?"
Xuan Yi extended his hand towards Biqing's cheek, stopping just an inch from the festering skin. "Without your life, how will you reach the human world you long for?"
Biqing stammered, "I was only thinking about saving you at the time, nothing else."
She also didn't know why she jumped into the lake without thinking and tried to rescue Xuan Yi who had fallen into the deep water.
At that time, she had only one thought in her mind: Xuan Yi cannot die.
"Thank you for worrying about me."
Xuan Yi retracted his hand, a look of helplessness covering his brows. He asked, "Why didn't you let Mingzhu check on the injury?"
I said so much to her before, but she didn't listen to a word I said.
Biqing stammered, "I don't want to distract everyone..."
She was only concerned about Xuan Yi, and when her tense nerves relaxed, she was shocked to find that there were several sores on her face and body. She felt as if she was locked in a furnace and was being roasted, with an extremely burning pain.
Seeing that Mo Jue was completely focused on Xuan Yi, and thinking that Mingzhu would only worry about herself after checking on him and would not be of any substantial help, she did not bother Mingzhu.
"Although their demonic powers are not as strong as mine, the combined demonic powers of several people should be able to dispel most of the foul energy."
Xuan Yi propped himself up, feeling a piercing pain in his abdomen. Cold sweat immediately poured down his forehead like rain.
Biqing quickly supported him and gently asked him to lean against her. She snorted, "How could I dare ask Miss Mingzhu to help me? She is so strong and she won't hold back. What if she hurts me? You're better off."
Xuan Yi's eyes were filled with surprise at first, then a hint of smug joy flashed across them, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
The words on the tip of my tongue finally turned into one sentence: "Wait until I feel better, I will help you heal your wounds."
"I appreciate your kindness."
Bi Qing touched Xuan Yi's still feverish forehead and said, "You should take care of yourself first and get your fever down before we talk about anything else!"
Xuan Yi smiled softly and nuzzled into Bi Qing's neck: "Got it."
The demonic power faded, and the original fragrance of Biqing was faintly visible, evoking the throbbing hidden deep in Xuanyi's heart.
If she could stay by my side forever...
Xuan Yi's throat rolled, trying to stop the dangerous and selfish thoughts from surging from his heart.
It is a blessing to be able to accompany Biqing all the way.
Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, calmed himself down, and found an extremely comfortable position in front of Biqing to fall asleep.
With his beloved by his side, Xuan Yi slept soundly, without even having a dream.
Xuan Yi hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
When he opened his eyes, Xuan Yi saw Biqing with her back to him, busy with something in her hands.
The heat and fatigue in his body disappeared. Xuan Yi sat up carefully and tried to mobilize the demonic power in his body to heal himself.
Before it even started, Biqing turned around and exclaimed, "Xuan Yi! Why are you sitting up?!" There was no lack of blame in her words.
Xuan Yi glanced at the bone bowl in Biqing's hand and asked, "Biqing, are you purifying the water?"
“No!”
The bone bowl was stuffed into his hands. Xuan Yi lowered his eyes to look at the transparent object inside, then raised his gaze to Bi Qing who was squatting in front of him: "Is this... ice fish?"
"yes!"
Bi Qing said, "Hurry up and eat! Master Mo Jue was afraid that the foul energy in the ice fish would hurt you, so he purified it specially for you!"
"Ajue and the others went fishing in the lake?"
"No! When I rescued you, Master Mo Jue cleaned up those fish. Otherwise, with so many ice fish in the lake, how could I have successfully fished you out with my current abilities?"
Bi Qing laughed and said, "Master Mo Jue is really amazing. In just a few moments, he chopped those ice fish into the shape of a bowl! When he came up, he still had wolf ears on his head!"
Xuan Yi knew clearly that it was not his brother who suddenly became powerful.
It was because he saw that he was in trouble that he could not control his own demonic power and became bloodthirsty.
Biqing urged, "Eat quickly! I've tried it, it tastes pretty good!"
Xuan Yi didn't hesitate any longer and picked up a piece of crystal clear sashimi and put it into his mouth. It didn't have any fishy smell, but the slightly sticky texture was really unpleasant.
After tasting two slices, he put the bone bowl aside, concentrated on mobilizing the demonic power in his body, and busied himself with what he was about to do.
Although there was some demonic power left on the talisman paper, Xuan Yi's recovery was not as fast as before.
The demonic power in his body had been running rampant more than once, leaving Xuan Yi feeling powerless.
"It must be the foul spirit at work!"
Biqing stopped him and said, "Perhaps when you fell into the lake, the foul energy entered your body through the wound, causing you to be unable to concentrate your demonic power."
"How could this be?!"
Xuan Yi was extremely anxious. If he couldn't recover, the sores on Biqing's body would be incurable.
"The foul energy originates from the demonic realm. Not to mention you, even a god would need a long time to recover if infected!"
Biqing pointed to her face and said comfortingly, "Look! Am I not an example?"
However... if she still had some spiritual power left, this bit of foul air wouldn't be a big deal to her.
Xuan Yi took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, turning it into a sigh.
Now he has tasted the feeling of having the will but not the ability.
Biqing went to find Mo Jue with the bone bowl in her hand, ready to tell him about Xuan Yi's situation.
But instead of meeting Mo Jue, he met Ming Zhu.
The temperature here is a little hotter than when we were on the road. It’s not warm, but it’s too hot for Mingzhu who is wearing winter clothes.
Mingzhu was about to use her magical powers to put away her coat when she saw Biqing appear with half of her face festering. She was startled and asked, "Why isn't your face healed yet?"
Bi Qing said calmly, "I'm afraid it won't be healed for a while." Then she asked, "Have you seen Master Mo Jue?"
"Lord Mo Jue has taken Liao Ying and the others to explore the terrain. How is the king recovering?"
Mingzhu's words were barely conciliatory, but she was deeply dissatisfied: "I am also a woman, how am I any less than the man in front of me? Why wasn't he asking me to look after the king?"
She took great care of her companions, fearing that they would go hungry!
"Xuan Yi's fever just subsided, so it'll take him a while to recover. But he ate a few slices of ice fish today, so he's feeling a bit better."
When Biqing heard Mingzhu's words, she immediately felt ashamed: Why do you have to argue even about taking care of Xuanyi?
"You must be too weak to take good care of the king!"
Mingzhu's mouth was almost turned to the ground in disgust. She grabbed Biqing's hand, and Biqing was so frightened that she pulled back hard.
Biqing moved, but saw a demonic power flowing from Mingzhu's palm to her arm.
Biqing chuckled: Mingzhu is finding an excuse to heal herself.
She looked at the awkward woman opposite with eyes full of gratitude and reminded her, "Ms. Mingzhu, be careful not to overuse your demonic power and fail to protect Ajiu and the others."
"Stop looking down on others!"
Mingzhu said firmly, "My demonic power isn't as strong as the king's, but I still have enough to help you heal your face! Besides, I'm not doing this for you! I'm doing this for the king! For the entire wolf demon clan!"
Mingzhu said, "Master Mo Jue is really a fool! He insists on asking a sick person like you to take care of the king. I'm so healthy, why don't you let me go?"
"You have to take care of Jiu and the others!"
Bi Qing followed up on her words, saying, "Ajiu and the others are much harder to take care of than Xuan Yi! The fact that Master Mo Jue is willing to do such a difficult task only proves that he has high hopes for you!"
"Of course!" Mingzhu raised her head proudly, and was very pleased with Biqing's words.
The burning sensation on Biqing's face subsided a little, and she smiled: Actually, looking at it this way, Miss Mingzhu is quite cute!
