Chapter 21 Jinjiang's exclusive authorization for the first release is illegal
"Last time—" Wen Huoran felt it was hard to bite his tongue, and after a long while, he managed to utter a few words, "You know?"
Yan Yi's ears felt hot, and he felt that he was being reckless. He stammered, "...I just bumped into it by accident."
The abnormality in his body became more and more obvious. Wen Xuran felt quite embarrassed and gradually loosened the strength in his hands.
Yan Yi thought that the villain was so angry that he wanted to throw her to the ground, so she was so scared that she quickly hugged the other person's neck.
"Your Majesty!"
She suddenly screamed, which frightened Wen Huiran so much that he calmed down both mentally and physically and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What are you shouting?"
Yan Yi tightly clasped his neck with both hands and buried his face in it, "Your Majesty, please don't leave me."
Wen Huoran was startled and subconsciously lifted her lower back to ensure that she would not fall to the ground.
"You saved me, I will not leave you alone."
The life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body - oh no! It should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. It can be seen that the villain was moved to tears by her heroic act.
Yan Yi couldn't help but feel excited.
"Go down first." Wen Huoran suddenly spoke.
"Alright." She stared blankly at the villain. "Your Majesty, aren't you going back?"
Wen Huoran: "Let me heal your wounds first. The human body is fragile and fragile. Delaying treatment may lead to infection."
Yan Yi: “…” Even though the villain was thinking about her, what he said was too unpleasant to hear.
She freed one hand and touched the sleepy little Li in her arms, pleading, "Your Majesty, could you please heal Li first? She's seriously injured."
Wen Huoran looked around, found a clean, flat stone, and slowly placed Yan Yi on it, then checked Xiaoli's injuries.
He had multiple fractures all over his body, his internal organs were damaged... and his demonic power was severely damaged.
"He must have been caught defenseless and attacked before he could transform into a human form."
Yan Yi opened his mouth slightly, staring at Wen Huoran with wide eyes, "Your Excellency, do you know everything?"
Wen Huiran lowered his eyes to look at her, as if he was looking at a fool, "With only your strength, I don't know who is lying on the ground."
Yan Yi curled his lips and couldn't help but complain in his heart: This old antique's mouth is beautiful, but it seems to be poisoned.
A kiss could cause her to die of poisoning on the spot.
"I can only heal injuries. As for demonic power, it takes time to recuperate and will recover more slowly."
Wen Huoran put Xiaoli back into Yan Yi's arms, then bent one leg and squatted down in front of her, "Show your knees."
Hearing this, Yan Yi quietly lifted the hem of her skirt above her knees, revealing a section of her calf stained with blood.
Before seeing the wound, Yan Yi only felt a piercing pain. Now facing the bloody knee, she couldn't help but gasp. It was simply horrible.
Wen Huoran stared at his knee, which was in a state of disarray. His brow furrowed deeply, and he felt as if a needle had pricked the softest part of his heart. His throat tightened, and for a moment he was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he used a cleansing spell to clean the blood and dirt around Yan Yi's wound, and then gently placed his palm on his knees.
A tearing pain came from the wound, and Yan Yi subconsciously reached out and grabbed the villain's shoulder, "Your Majesty, it hurts!"
He paused in his movements, then looked up at her and explained with rare patience, "Just bear with it for now, it won't hurt soon."
Yan Yi gritted his teeth and nodded with tears in his eyes.
The tearing pain gradually turned into a dull ache, and finally a fine and dense numbing sensation came from the wound, like ants gnawing.
Yan Yi raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and stretched out a finger to gently press his knee which had recovered to its original state - it was aching slightly.
"Don't touch it." Wen Huoran warned, "The wound is still healing."
Yan Yi withdrew his hand, and immediately smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying this, she suddenly remembered the time when she went up Mount Fuyu to collect herbs. She was chased by an unknown blood mist and accidentally fell down the mountain. Although the wound on her lower back had healed long ago, it left a long, thin scar that was hideous and ugly.
Thinking of this, she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, can this old injury be cured?"
Wen Huiran stood up and frowned, "When did the injury occur?"
"The last time I came to Fuyu Mountain to collect herbs, I accidentally fell and got injured. The wound has healed, but it left a scar. If it can be removed——"
Before she could finish her words, Wen Huoran knelt down in front of her again and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Yan Yi smiled awkwardly, "Defensive midfielder."
Wen Huoran almost fell to the ground.
"Go back first, it's getting late."
Hearing this, Yan Yi picked up Xiaoli and stood up with the help of the villain's hand.
Just now, the conversation came up with the scar on his lower back. Now that he had calmed down, Yan Yi felt that he had been impulsive.
It is true that she saved the villain's life, but it seems inappropriate to have such close contact as checking his lower back.
After returning to the mansion, Wen Huoran put her in front of the study door and then pushed the door open and walked into the house.
"Tonight, you sleep in the study."
Yan Yi's residence had been destroyed by a human bomb, so temporarily arranging a room seemed unrealistic. She happily accepted the arrangement and followed the villain into the study. In a fit of excitement, she blurted out, "Your Majesty, are you sleeping here too?"
Not to mention that Wen Huoran has his own bedroom for him to rest, even if there is only one study in the entire mansion, he would not live with her.
Wen Huoran stared at her with an ambiguous look.
Yan Yi laughed dryly twice, holding Xiaoli in his arms, and slowly moved to the armchair next to the desk and sat down. He explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I—I just asked casually, I didn't mean anything else."
Even though she did have ill intentions towards the villain and was eager to complete the mission and return to the real world, but - not now, and not tonight.
After seeing Wen Huoran off, Yan Yi hurriedly took the little fox to wash and clean the dried blood off its body.
In the past, when giving the little fox a bath, it would always meow and play with Yan Yi, but tonight it was surprisingly quiet.
Only when Yan Yi wet its fur with warm water would it call out weakly, looking listless and listless.
Something is so wrong.
Xiaoli seemed to not understand what she was saying.
Yan Yi was panicked. It was a dark and windy night, so it was not convenient for him to go to the old witch doctor for help. So he quickly took a bath and went to bed with Xiaoli to rest.
But she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that when she woke up tomorrow morning, the little fox would transform into a human form, standing beside the bed and smiling at her.
The next morning, Yan Yi was awakened by the sound of a cat. She slowly opened her eyes and woke up. A furry head was pressed against her chin.
Yan Yi happily climbed up from the bed and carried Xiaoli down, "Xiaoli, you can understand what I'm saying, right?"
The tabby cat meowed lazily, then broke free from her arms and jumped onto the windowsill to bask in the sun.
Yan Yi sent a message to Bu Shu, saying that he would visit him later. He then quickly washed and changed his clothes, picked up Xiao Li, opened the door and ran out.
As soon as she opened the study door, she bumped into a solid wall of people, which made her see stars and tears flow down her cheeks.
This scene reminded me of yesterday when I attacked Wen Feng with my head.
"Your Majesty..." Yan Yi raised his hand and rubbed his sore nose, almost crying, "Why are you standing quietly at the door so early in the morning?"
Wen Huoran choked. If he remembered correctly, this was his study, where he had temporarily let a mortal female doctor stay for one night.
"I am returning to my study. Do I need to inform you?"
Yan Yi woke up as if from a dream. She was getting ahead of herself again. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I hit my head yesterday and I'm confused."
He admitted his mistake quite quickly. Wen Xuran raised the corner of his lips slightly and asked casually, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Yan Yi's face was filled with anxiety that he couldn't hide. He said truthfully, "Your Majesty, I don't know where Xiaoli is injured. She can't understand me. I'll go find Master to check on her."
Wen Huoran stepped aside and said, "It's probably because his demonic power has been damaged. He needs to recuperate for some time."
She understood the principle, but after seeing with her own eyes how Xiaoli could transform into a human form and then turned into an ordinary tabby cat in the blink of an eye, Yan Yi found it a little hard to accept.
At least I could understand what she said.
"Yes, I know." Yan Yi stepped out of the door and turned back to look at the villain. "Your Majesty, I'm still worried. Maybe Master has a solution!"
"Go ahead." Wen Huiran nodded, "Don't run around."
Yan Yi said "hmm" and turned around and ran away quickly.
Wen Huoran stared at her gradually walking away figure in a trance.
Things have been going wrong lately, and my headaches have become more frequent. Although I have sachets to relieve them, they are not very effective.
Wen Huoran subconsciously touched his chest and found the sachet still there. He couldn't help but think of how he had lost face in front of a mortal female doctor again yesterday. He felt a little annoyed.
As his body and mind were successively lost, Wen Huoran gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
He was just an ordinary mortal, yet he had such ability. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic potion Yan Yi had used on him.
"A-choo! A-choo! A-choo!"
The carriage stopped at the gate of the old witch doctor's house. Yan Yi sneezed three times in succession and tears came out.
She thought, cursed, and muttered, and it must be someone talking about her behind her back.
Not knowing how long the delay would last, Yan Yi asked the guard driving the car to go back first, and then turned around to knock on the door.
"Xiao Yi is here." Bu Shu poked his head out from behind the door and asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold?"
Yan Yi raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved her hand, "Master, I'm fine." She followed Bu Shu inside and looked around, but there was no sign of Bu Yingyue and her brother.
"Master, aren't Yingyue and the others at home?"
Bu Shu: "Yingyue and the others accompanied Sui'an back to their hometown to visit relatives."
Meng Sui'an, wife of Bu Shu, biological mother of Bu Yingyue and Bu Yingxue.
I once heard Bu Yingyue mention that Meng Sui'an was originally an ordinary mortal, who gave birth to twins and is still alive today. Hundreds of years have passed, and I'm sure only the descendants are left in the family.
Thinking of this, Yan Yi couldn't help but feel a little better, but it was inconvenient to ask directly, so he continued the conversation: "Master, when will Master's wife and the others come back? I haven't seen Master's wife yet!"
"It will be back in about three or four days." Bu Shu led Yan Yi into the study and took the tabby cat from her arms. "When did it start to behave strangely?"
"Yesterday."
Yan Yi picked out the important information and recounted what happened yesterday, and then heard Bu Shu let out a slight sigh.
After a careful examination, Bu Shu returned the little cat to Yan Yi's arms and said comfortingly, "It's nothing serious. The cat was frightened too much, and its magical power was damaged. It will take some time to fully recover."
It was not much different from what the villain said, and Yan Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After finding out the cause of the disease and the subsequent treatment methods, Yan Yi thanked Bu Shu and then left the study with Xiao Li in his arms.
"Master, I will come to visit you again when Master's Wife and the others return."
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. Yan Yi stood in the yard, squinting his eyes and looking at the scorching sun, groaning in his heart.
It takes half an hour to walk from Bu Shu's house to the Demon Lord's residence. Walking back under the scorching sun, she, a mere mortal, would definitely get heatstroke.
I regretted letting the Demon Realm guards drive away first.
She moved under the shade of the tree, taking advantage of the coolness, and walked out of the yard like a snail.
As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw a familiar figure standing under the willow tree by the road in the distance.
The willow branches swayed in the wind. The man was wearing a dark brocade robe and standing with his back to his head and his hands behind his back. His long, slightly curly hair was tied high behind his head, and the ends of his hair fluttered in the breeze.
"Your Majesty—" Yan Yi ran over happily, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Why are you here?"
"I'm passing through here." Wen Huoran turned around and asked casually, "Why did you let the carriage go back first?"
Yan Yi smiled and said, "I'm not sure how long it will take to end. I'm worried that they'll wait too long."
Wen Huiran stared at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, "You seem to be in a very good mood today."
Yan Yi nodded repeatedly.
She felt very happy because she didn't have to walk back under the scorching sun.
"I thought His Majesty had come specially to pick me up! I was so happy."
These words greatly pleased the villain. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his jade-like face immediately became lively.
"Let's go." Wen Huoran stretched out a hand to her.
Yan Yi responded and walked to his side. She caught a glimpse of a sachet on the villain's waist, which was the gold filigree sachet she had given him last time.
Originally, Wen Huoran kept it in her arms, but now she wears it openly around her waist. Does this mean that her weight in the villain's heart has increased a little bit?
This discovery made Yan Yi's heart leap for joy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he was immediately full of energy - he was one step closer to success, and completing the task was just around the corner!
She pointed at the sachet, her tone filled with joy, "Your Majesty, you used the sachet I gave you!"
Wen Xuran's expression paused slightly, and he replied calmly, "The medicine is quite effective."
OK?
Yan Yi curled her lips. If the dosage was enough, the villain would have noticed something was wrong long ago, and the atmosphere between the two of them would not be so harmonious.
"If Your Majesty likes it, I will make a few more when I get back. You can wear them in rotation every day, ensuring that you don't wear the same one twice a week."
Wen Huoran nodded, thinking that the mortal female doctor was too frightened yesterday and was talking nonsense again.
However, when he heard the other party say that he wanted to make a few more sachets as gifts for him, Wen Xuran felt quite happy.
After returning to the mansion, Wen Huoran asked someone to choose another courtyard for Yan Yi to live in.
Yan Yi held Xiaoli in his arms and stood at the door of the villain's study, hesitating for a while before softly saying, "Your Majesty, can I continue to live in your study?"
"What did you say?" Wen Huoran turned around to look at her, thinking he had misheard.
Yan Yi mustered up his courage and raised his voice, "I want to live in your study."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two maids who were standing upright behind Wen Huoran looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Knowing that the other party had misunderstood, Yan Yi remained calm and patiently explained, "I'm used to living in Your Majesty's study. I don't want to move around so often. If I move to a new place, I'll have to adapt again, and I won't be able to sleep well at night."
She had only stayed in the villain's study for two nights in total. One was when she returned from the Ice Continent and fainted due to illness. The other was last night, when her residence was destroyed by a human bomb.
How can we talk about habit?
Only a fool would believe her nonsense.
Wen Huoran hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then ordered the two maids behind him, whose faces were red from trying so hard to hold back their laughter, to pack up some commonly used items and bring them to the study.
Qiongjiu gently poked Luqin's arm, and the two of them laughed and left the study one after another.
"You--" Wen Huoran hesitated to speak, but he was extremely happy in his heart, thinking that Yan Yi wanted to live in the room he had lived in before.
Yan Yi waited for a moment, but nothing came of it. He couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Wen Huoran looked calm, "No." After that, he picked up some important items in the study and took them away, then turned and walked out of the study.
Yan Yi watched him leave. As the villain just stepped out of the study door, a letter appeared out of thin air and hung in front of him.
Yan Yi thought it was just a message from the guards of the Demon Realm and did not take it seriously. He then carried Xiaoli to the bedroom.
Just as she covered Xiaoli with the quilt, she heard the villain calling her outside the door.
"Yan Yi, come out."
Thinking that the two maids who delivered daily necessities had returned, Yan Yi hurried out of the bedroom, only to see Wen Huoran standing at the door of the study, holding a letter in his hand, with a unhappy look on his face.
"Your Majesty?" Yan Yi hesitated, unsure how he had displeased the villain.
"It's a letter from your cousin." Wen Huoran threw the letter directly onto the desk.
She slowly walked to the desk, picked up the letter and took a closer look. The envelope was intact. Yan Yi was relieved that the villain had not opened it without permission.
Yan Yi unfolded the letter in front of Wen Huoran and read ten lines at a glance.
As usual, Su Can's letter did not reveal any nutritious information. Apart from the anecdotes about his cultivation in the famous family, he asked about the recent situation of the tabby cat and her.
When he read to the end, Yan Yi's eyes suddenly widened and he almost screamed out loud.
Su Can said in the letter that he would visit on a later date.
Yan Yi immediately panicked, crumpled the letter into a ball and held it in his hand, pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.
In the past, when Su Can expressed his desire to come and visit, she asked Xiaoli to tamper with the letter to eliminate the idea of his coming to visit.
At the moment, Xiaoli is still seriously injured and his magic power has been damaged. He has become an ordinary tabby cat and is no longer able to help her stop Su Can.
If she rejected Su Can directly, it might arouse his suspicion and make him think that she was in danger and insisted on coming to rescue her.
Yan Yi was really worried that the plot in the original book where Su Can was hostile to the villain would happen earlier than expected.
After all, the male protagonist of the original book wanted to kill Wen Huoran because of the death of Canary, and eventually cut him into pieces.
As the male protagonist of the original book, Su Can has a golden finger. It would be easy for him to kill the biggest villain in the book before Wen Huoran absorbs Wen Zhengming's spirit.
In this case, her plan of collecting essences would inevitably fail, and completing the mission and returning to the real world would be a fantasy.
Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Wen Huoran couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Yan Yi gathered her thoughts, as if she had just realized that the villain was still in the study. She tried her best to calm down, carefully choosing her words, and said, "Your Majesty, my cousin—he wants to come see me."
Wen Huiran frowned subconsciously, "You don't want him to come?"
Yan Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is this even necessary? How could the light of justice reach the villain's territory in advance?
"I don't want to." Yan Yi shook his head repeatedly.
Wen Huoran looked puzzled, "Why?"
Yan Yi was speechless for a moment. The truth of the matter was beyond the old antique's understanding. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to make up a plausible excuse.
"Because..." Yan Yi unconsciously raised his voice, as if to give himself courage, "My cousin came here on my father's orders to persuade me to go home and get married."
It's a very bad excuse.
Yan Yi regretted it the moment she finished speaking, as she knew very well that telling one lie would require countless lies to cover it up.
"Get married?" Wen Huiran grasped the key point, frowning slightly. "Marriage has always been about mutual consent. If you don't agree, who can force you?"
Yan Yi was complaining in her heart, she knew that she could not avoid making up more lies.
"Your Majesty has been in a high position for a long time and is unaware of the sufferings of the people." She sniffed as if to respond, raised her sleeves to rub her eyes, and rubbed her eyelids until they turned red.
"In the mortal world, women marry according to their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I have no right to make the decision for myself."
"Ridiculous." Wen Huoran couldn't help but sneer, then he patiently asked, "Did your father let you marry your cousin?"
"That's not the case." Yan Yi quickly denied it, choking up as he said, "It's the son of a merchant I've never met. I heard he's handsome and wealthy, and worthy of being entrusted with your life."
"Never seen it before?" Wen Huoran naturally didn't believe it.
Yan Yi nodded repeatedly and emphasized, "I've never seen it before." After that, she looked up at the villain, her eyes filled with crystal tears that seemed to be about to fall, making her look particularly pitiful.
"In the past, my father ignored my wishes and insisted on marrying me. I cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang myself, but my objections were in vain. I had no choice but to escape secretly when my family wasn't paying attention. Unexpectedly, I fell into the hands of bandits and, after many twists and turns, was brought to your Highness."
Wen Huoran: "..." It sounded like she was accusing him of poor discipline and allowing his men to abduct women.
After a long while, he finally managed to utter a word: "I have asked you for your wishes."
Yan Yi raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from his cheeks and did not deny it. "I stayed here voluntarily. Your Majesty, can you help me? Find a way to make my cousin give up the idea of coming to the Demon Realm."
Wen Huoran was at his ease. He took a long stride and sat down at the desk. His inquiring gaze fell on her face. "You used to be able to stop your cousin."
Yan Yi was speechless. From the beginning to the end, the villain knew everything about the little tricks she and Xiaoli were doing in secret.
Twisting his clothes tightly with both hands, Yan Yi's heart was in his throat. Then he steeled himself and told the truth: "In the past, Xiaoli helped me to confuse my cousin."
As if hearing a great joke, Wen Huiran suddenly chuckled and said meaningfully: "Yan Yi, you are so capable."
It’s over! It’s over!
Yan Yi was in tears. He had just won the villain's trust and had not yet had the chance to put it into action. He couldn't lose his trust just like that!
"Your Majesty..." She tried to act out a poignant scene to impress the villain, choking with sobs, "I'm new here and unfamiliar with the place. Xiaoli is the only one who can help me."
Wen Huoran choked, feeling that the mortal female doctor was becoming increasingly bold and arrogant, repeatedly beating around the bush and provoking him with words, as if he had been the one who had caused the current situation.
Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, Yan Yi took advantage of the situation and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you agree to help me?"
As she spoke, she slowly moved to Wen Huoran's side and handed him the letter. "Your Majesty, look, my cousin said he will come to visit you soon, following the trail left by the talisman."
Wen Huoran didn't reach out to take it, nor did he intend to pry into other people's privacy. He said in a deep voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to communicate with your cousin. Within a day, he will write to sever ties with you."
"Ah?" Yan Yi froze in place. There was no need to be so ruthless! She still had a lot of use for the original hero!
"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Yan Yi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the villain's wrist, his knuckles turning white from the force. He racked his brains and uttered a few words: "I don't want to cut off contact with my family. They are all my relatives."
"Wow--" Perhaps thinking of his biological mother and father who were far away in the real world, Yan Yi couldn't help crying out loud, and his tears fell like beads with broken strings, "pat pat" dripping on the white back of the villain's hand.
Wen Huoran glanced at the wet back of his hand and felt unusually embarrassed.
