20 Who on earth are you to make the iron tree of His Majesty bloom?
Although Ji Chen could barely stand, he couldn't walk.
In the end, Yuan Yi came over to support him, lifted his body up, and barely walked out of the stone chamber.
With every step he took, the inner thigh and that place were piercingly painful.
It must have been hurt by Gui Tong.
That bastard only rushed around, without any skills or severity, and almost took his life.
During the time he was carried out, Ji Chen kept thinking, Gui Tong is such a celibate person, and suddenly he had the urge to do this to him, is it really just a punishment?
Just as he thought of this, Yuan Yi seemed to comfort him and said softly: "Congratulations, Brother Ji, it can be seen that the Lord likes you very much."
"Like?"
Ji Chen looked at Yuan Yi's gossipy face in confusion, "How do you know?"
"I have followed the Lord for so many years, and I have never seen the Lord be so merciful to the person who made him angry."
"From the beginning you refused to kneel to him, his whip was enough to tear you into pieces, but he didn't even use a trace of spiritual power."
"He even used his fingers to heal your wounds."
"And the so-called punishment later... um..."
Speaking of this, Yuan Yi was a little embarrassed, but he hesitated for a while, and still said concisely: "After all, you are the Demon Lord's concubine, it's normal~"
Ji Chen thought in his heart: What the hell is normal!
"The Lord has never treated anyone like this before." Yuan Yi vowed, "Believe me! Brother Ji! The Lord is definitely interested in you!!"
Ji Chen was not happy at all after hearing this.
Seeing that Ji Chen did not reply, Yuan Yi chattered on like a chatterbox: "And the "Guardian Jade Plate" he gave you... The Left Protector and I don't have it, only you have it."
This time Ji Chen finally reacted, he asked in confusion: "Why don't you have it?"
"Because the two of us have been with him for a long time, most of the demon cultivators know us, and there is no need for this jade plate. But you... maybe the Lord was afraid that you would be bullied in the city, so he gave you this. ”
“Don’t underestimate Jiuli City because it seems safe and harmonious. In fact, there are undercurrents, and the leaders of all major forces are hiding in the dark. With the jade token, your situation will be much better.”
But Ji Chen still had no interest in the jade token.
What he was worried about now was how to break the "Soul-Eating Pig".
“You saw it too, and he even poisoned me with a pig. How could he like me?”
“He poisoned you with a pig, but he was afraid that you would run away and not want him?”
Yuan Yi still said the same thing: “Really, Brother Ji, don’t worry about it. I really know you too well. He just likes you, but he just won’t express it.”
Ji Chen: ...
I’ve seen people with love brains, but I’ve never seen someone like Yuan Yi who forces others to have a love brain.
Although Ji Chen didn’t want Guitong’s hatred, he didn’t want Guitong’s love either.
He just wanted to end all debts with this disciple, and never see him again, even if they died or lived.
But it was obviously impossible.
Ji Chen asked himself, even if he recovered from Gui Tong's injuries, he still owed him after he was treated like this.
Although he was really angry just now.
But when he closed his eyes, the words that kept lingering in his mind were -
Master, I just want you to love me more.

Ji Chen and Yuan Yi returned to Kui Mu's home.
Kui Mu was stunned to see that the two returned unharmed.
"Your Majesty actually let you go?" Kui Mu looked around Yuan Yi, and noticed that he was indeed not injured, with an expression of disbelief.
Ji Chen saw that Kui Mu only had Yuan Yi in his eyes, and wanted to roll his eyes at him: The injuries are all on me, what are you looking at him doing!
But the injury was too painful to open, so Ji Chen could only keep silent.
Yuan Yi also laughed and joked with Kui Mu: "Well... maybe His Majesty felt that he had wronged me, so he didn't care about it."
"But he took away my position as Dharma Protector and gave it to Brother Ji."
"Really?!"
Kui Mu always liked to be surprised by Ji Chen's affairs, and this time he couldn't help shouting out loud: "On what basis?"
Yuan Yi said indifferently: "I don't mind, why do you mind?"
"Besides, His Majesty only took away my title, not my rights, which means I am still the Right Dharma Protector, but I have lost the title."
"And His Majesty gave the position of Right Dharma Protector to Brother Ji just to protect him. To be honest, His Majesty cares about him very much, no wonder he asked him to be the Demon Lord's Consort."
"This..." Kui Mu looked at Ji Chen with an expression as if he had discovered a new continent, "Who on earth are you to make His Majesty's iron tree bloom?"
Ji Chen: ...
He is also a hen.
Besides, all this is just Yuan Yi's guess.
Ji Chen didn't want them to talk about this topic anymore, and suddenly changed the subject: "I have to live in this city in the future, but I have no place to live. Who of you would be kind enough to take me in?"
Kui Mu was the first to refuse: "My house is so small, and there is only one bed. You don't want to sleep with me, do you?"
Ji Chen shook his head decisively, and looked at Yuan Yi for help.
Yuan Yi refused without hesitation: "Don't harm me. You are the Demon Lord's Consort. How can I explain to His Majesty if you live with me?"
"Then what should I do?"
"How about... you stay in the inn first?" Yuan Yi suggested.
Ji Chen thought it was a good idea.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was not right: "But I don't have money to stay."
"Don't you have the jade token given by His Majesty? That thing is equivalent to a pass to Jiuling City. You can enter and exit all places in the city freely, and no one dares to stop you."
"Can I spend money without spending money?" Ji Chen's eyes lit up.
"Of course."

In order to verify the practicality of this "Dharma Protector Jade Card", Ji Chen went to the largest tavern in the city first.
Of course, he didn't know the way, so he had to ask Yuan Yi to take him there.
Even the thought of having wine to drink made the injuries on his body no longer hurt.
It was just like the saying - a dying person suddenly stood up!
Soon Ji Chen was led by Yuan Yi to the largest tavern in Jiuliu City, which happened to be an inn.
Ji Chen liked this place very much. He was so happy when he thought that he could drink when he woke up every day, go to sleep when he was tired, and continue drinking after waking up.
This was simply the rotten life he had always dreamed of.
Ji Chen and Yuan Yi stepped into the tavern together. The tavern owner naturally recognized Yuan Yi first, thinking that he was still the right Dharma Protector, and hurriedly saluted.
Yuan Yi, however, stretched out one hand in front of Ji Chen and introduced him, "This is the new right protector. You will have to take care of him in the future."
"What?" The boss looked at Ji Chen somewhat at a loss, "He...?"
Ji Chen hurriedly took out the jade token that he had always disliked, and now stood it in front of his chest like a treasure, showing it to the man, "This is given to me by your master."
The word "protect" on it glowed with a faint red light.
As soon as the boss saw the word, he knew that it was written by the master himself, and he recognized the font.
So he had to admit it, but he still looked a little reluctant, "Well, okay."
Yuan Yi instructed again, "This little brother is not only the new right protector, but also the Demon Lord's concubine. You must take good care of him and don't neglect him."
The boss did not dare to disobey and agreed repeatedly.
After explaining everything, Yuan Yi left.
The reason why he left in such a hurry, Ji Chen translated his reason into - he had been absent from work for several days, and there was a lot of work piled up, which needed to be dealt with quickly. He
was really the best worker in the world, and it would be no problem to be rated as an advanced and outstanding employee.
But Ji Chen didn't want to keep him. Although drinking alone was boring, it was not impossible to drink.
He originally wanted to ask Kui Mu to drink with him, but Kui Mu had a shadow about drinking with him and refused.
So, Ji Chen asked for the best wine and the most luxurious room in the store, and took the wine to the room to drink alone. Let's drink
today.
Worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
