Demon World (VII)
The rain kept falling. Liu Lixue stood under the corridor, looking at the dark sky and sighing.
It has been raining for many days, and I don’t know whether the herbs he planted will bloom after the rain.
Just as he was about to check on his herb garden, a voice suddenly came to his ears: "Liu Lixue, come over here."
Liu Lixue clenched his back teeth and got angry, but there was nothing he could do. Strength means status. He couldn't beat Su Xuan, so he could only work hard like a beast of burden.
It would be embarrassing if the news got out that the young master of the Peacock Clan was actually working as a demon doctor in the demon world.
When Liu Lixue entered the hall, he saw a demon sitting crookedly on the demon throne above.
Su Xuan is a lazy and unrestrained person. He doesn't know how to stand or sit properly.
"My Lord, what do you want to call me for?"
Liu Lixue smiled superficially but his heart was not smiling.
Su Xuan was playing with a wooden hairpin in his hand. The hairpin was very plain, with just some simple carvings on it as decoration.
The dark wooden hairpin spun flexibly in Yingbai's hands, making her hands look even more beautiful.
"How much information have you found about the fairy grass?"
Liu Lixue knew what he was asking as soon as she heard it, and only replied: "The person who offered this item cannot be found, but the Sword Sect is also investigating the fairy wool grass, and..."
"And what?"
"The people sent to investigate in Bai Ren sent back a message that this time the competition seems to include...spiritual roots."
Su Xuan paused and looked over.
Liu Lixue: "It's of a high grade. The Sword Sect has already sent people to negotiate with Bai Renli. They want to suppress the spiritual roots in private. It should be for the purpose of exchanging spiritual roots for Shi Yao."
Su Xuan sneered: "That piece of junk is worthy of being treated as a treasure by the Sword Sect?"
He sat up straight, tied up his long silver hair loosely, put away the hairpin, and said, "Continue to stare at the white blade."
Liu Lixue nodded: "Yes."
Just as he was about to leave, Su Xuan called out to him, "Stop."
Liu Lixue turned around: "My Lord, what else do you want?"
Su Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Reshaping the meridians...how can I avoid causing her pain?"
Liu Lixue naturally knew who she was referring to.
"There is no other way. She has to carry it through. Miss Sang can do it."
Sandy can do it. No matter how hard or painful it is, Sandy can do it.
Su Xuan's eyelids drooped, and the hall fell into silence for a while.
After a long time, he said, "Pick up all the clothes in the side hall, make new ones according to the original style, and send them to her."
A piece of rice paper with words written on it was sent to Liu Lixue using spiritual power.
Liu Lixue asked in surprise: "Those clothes are all new and have been taken care of. Miss Sang has never worn them before. Why do you need to change them?"
Could it be that he really has money to burn?
Su Xuan stood up and walked down from the upper steps step by step, his ink-black robe trailing behind him.
He didn't say anything until he passed by Liu Lixue. When he was about to leave the hall, his weak voice suddenly came.
"I've lost weight."
It was not until Su Xuan left that Liu Lixue unfolded the rice paper and discovered that the size was written on it.
He suddenly understood what Su Xuan meant.
Sandy lost weight.
Over the past one hundred years, when Su Xuan asked people to make clothes according to his wishes, they were all custom-made based on the image of Sandy in his memory.
But more than ten years later, she had lost weight and the clothes she had worn before no longer fit her.
Liu Lixue looked at the empty hall with mixed feelings.
Having not seen her for more than ten years, he had no idea whether Sandy had lost weight or gained weight, but Su Xuan could tell at a glance that she had lost weight.
She still looks the same as before.
Su Xuan always noticed even the slightest changes.
Because Sandy has always been in his memory, everything about her has never been blurred for him.
***
When Sandy woke up, the first thing she saw was a maid standing there.
She blinked and recognized who it was.
The demon servant who was scolded away by Su Xuan yesterday.
After seeing her, the maid knelt down and asked her, "Madam, do you want to get up?"
Sandy held her forehead and said, "Don't call me Madam. You really misunderstood me."
The maid hesitated: "But..."
"Just listen to me." Sandy sat up, and the fatigue in her body was relieved a lot. "What did you call?"
The maid replied respectfully: "This servant is calling Cui Shao."
Sandy nodded: "Okay, Cuishao, can you help me get some clothes?"
"Yes, Miss Fu-Sang."
Cui Shao took out her clothes, which was a lake blue dress. It was exquisitely made and made of high-quality fabrics. The gauze skirt she wore outside was also particularly fine.
She was a little dazed when she took it. She didn't know how long it had been since she last wore a blue dress. It seemed that after Ying Heng defected, the Sword Sect took her in as a disciple and taught her. Since then, she had always worn the Sword Sect's disciple uniform.
The background is white, with silver threads embroidered into the shape of green bamboo, which is the pattern of the Sword Sect.
But Sandy liked the color blue, and she wove the tassel of the Zhiyu Sword with blue thread.
Seeing her standing there motionless, Cui Shao thought she didn't know how to put on her clothes, so she stepped forward and wanted to help her: "Miss, let me help you put on your clothes."
Sandy dodged for a moment and said, "No need, I can do it myself, you go out first."
Cui Shao was hesitant. She was sent by Su Xuan to serve this girl. If the master knew that the girl had to dress herself, he would probably punish her.
But Sandy said, "He won't punish you, not while I'm here. Go away."
Cui Shao hesitated for a long time between Miss Sang and her master, and finally decided to listen to Miss Sang. It was Miss Sang who saved her life yesterday.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
She left the house, closing the door behind her.
Sang Dai changed her clothes and put on the clothes Cui Shao brought her.
The material of this dress is very good. It is different from the disciple uniform she usually wears. It is very comfortable to wear, and it feels soft and silky against her body.
Just a little bigger waist.
She tightened her belt so that it fit perfectly.
When Sandy got dressed and went out, a tall dark figure came towards her.
You don't need to look to know that it is a fox. He always walks with big steps and looks imposing, as if he is not someone who can be easily messed with.
Cui Shao stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, sir."
"Um."
Sang Dai stood still and watched Su Xuan walking towards her.
The swordsman's black hair was tied up, with an exquisite hair ornament on his forehead. He wore a lake blue dress that perfectly outlined his slender figure, unlike the plain and old-fashioned swordsman's appearance in the past.
In the past, Sandy always wore a white swordsman's uniform, with her black hair tied up in a high ponytail, and only a wooden hairpin as decoration.
She obviously likes those hairpins and jewelry, and she obviously likes the color blue. She often changes her sword tassels with exquisite patterns, but all the different sword tassels are the same blue color.
Su Xuan stood three steps away from her, and Sang Dai stood on the third step of the platform, just at eye level with him.
He saw everything about her.
A fox was obviously very happy, but pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Jianzong, what do you think of the clothes in the demon world? How do they compare to the clothes in your fairy world?"
Reality: [This silk gauze is really worth it, Dai Dai looks so beautiful in it! Let Liu Lixue buy ten more pieces! ]
Sandy's eyes twitched slightly. Silk yarn takes ten years to weave, and it is priceless.
She nodded helplessly: "It looks good."
Su Xuan was rarely seen and was stunned.
then……
[Daidai said it looks good!!! I’ll buy another 100!!!]
Sandy frowned at his inner voice, fearing that he would really buy a hundred horses, and quickly stopped him: "It looks good, but forget it."
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was disdainful of the demon world, and turned his head away: "Miss Sang has come to the demon world as a captive, so naturally she is not as good as you in the fairy world. This is how our demon world is."
As long as they were not looking at each other, Sandy could not hear what was in his mind.
When she heard the sour tone, she knew that Su Xuan was overthinking it. She sighed in her heart, walked down the stairs and took a few steps towards him.
He was so much taller than she was that once they were down the steps, Sandy had to look up to see him.
Su Xuan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyelashes blinked lightly, and his hands hidden in his wide sleeves clenched.
Sandy said: "Su Xuan, I don't dislike it. The headdress is very beautiful, and the clothes are also very beautiful. I like them both."
She was over a hundred years old. When Shi Yao received the gorgeous clothes made by Mrs. Shi when she came of age, Sang Dai only had a book on swordsmanship given to her by Sect Master Sang when she came of age. He taught her that as one of the few heavenly spiritual roots in the fairy world, she must practice diligently to protect the peace of all directions.
Su Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at her, and the ferocity he had pretended in the past disappeared, and the two of them looked at each other.
Liu Lixue happened to follow along as well. As soon as he approached the Demon Palace, he saw a dark figure standing at the door. Seeing the intricate gold threads on the black robe and the waist-length silver hair, he immediately recognized that it was his own master.
Although he couldn't see clearly the person standing in front of him, the only person Su Xuan could look down at was Miss Sang.
Sandy smiled at Su Xuan, "Su Xuan, I like it very much."
Su Xuan had a blank expression on his face and didn't speak for a long time.
Sandy thought she was the one who made the atmosphere awkward, and was about to speak to ease the situation when she heard a familiar voice in her ears again.
[Daidai said she likes me. Do you like the clothes and headdress or the real me? 】
Sandy: "...like Yi--"
【never mind.】
Sandy: "I like clothes—"
[The clothes and headdress were given by me, which means you like me. That’s great. I like Dai Dai too. Kiss.]
Sandy: "…………"
Su Xuan didn't notice her strange expression, and turned his head away, pretending to say, "It's just a few pieces of clothes. The last thing I need is spiritual stones. Just consider it as a reward for your accompanying me in practicing martial arts in the past."
From this angle, Sandy could clearly see his red earlobes.
If someone's tail were exposed now, it would probably be shaken to pieces.
Her archenemy really likes her.
Sang Dai was speechless, but she saw Liu Lixue behind Su Xuan.
"Mr. Liu."
As if she had seen a life-saving straw, she walked out and nodded to Liu Lixue.
Su Xuan looked over and saw Liu Lixue, who was fanning herself and laughing happily, suddenly stiffen her back. When she met the master's gaze, she was so scared that her peacock feathers, which had been hidden, almost stood up.
The Lord seemed to be asking: Why did you come at this time to disturb the time when he and his swordsman were alone?
Liu Lixue stood up straight, cleared her throat, and said with a strong desire to survive: "This... the magical herbs and instruments for repairing the meridians are ready. I want to ask Miss Sang when she will repair her meridians."
Sandy's eyes lit up.
Her heartbeat seemed to speed up for a moment. She hurried forward, her voice becoming much higher: "Really?"
Hearing the anticipation and excitement in her voice, Su Xuan curled his lips and chuckled silently.
Liu Lixue felt a pang in her heart, and her voice became softer, "Yes, seriously, Miss Sang, your meridian repair is not a problem."
Having said this, he glanced at his master.
Ever since bringing Sang Dai back from Kongsang Realm, Su Xuan began to search for various magical herbs in the four realms. For him, finding all these things was just a matter of money. He knew how much importance Sang Dai attached to cultivation, so Liu Lixue did not dare to stop. He searched for information in various medical books and even returned to the family to ask the elders.
Sandy's hands were shaking and her lips were moving. After several attempts, she finally found her voice.
"I can repair my meridians now."
Su Xuan interrupted immediately: "No, it will take more than half a month. Your body is still weak now."
“I’m fine,” Sandy insisted.
Su Xuan retorted: "I disagree. The method of repairing the meridians is too strong. It is difficult for you to bear it now."
Sandy turned around and looked at Su Xuan.
His attitude was obvious and firm. Sandy couldn't hear what he was thinking at this moment because Su Xuan had nothing in his mind at this moment.
He was just objecting to her trying to reshape her meridians in her current weak state.
Sandy looked at him silently, while Cuishao was so scared that she dared not say a word.
Until Liu Lixue came out and eased the tense situation.
"Well... Actually, there's no rush, Miss Sang. The Lord is right. Your body is in a bad condition right now. It might even backfire. You should take care of yourself for the next half month, and we can discuss it later, okay?"
Sandy also knew that she was impulsive.
The auction in Bai Ren will be held in a month. She was too eager to check out the fairy grass and that heavenly spiritual root. If her meridians were not completely reshaped and she had no spiritual power to resist the evil spirit in Bai Ren, Su Xuan would never agree to let her go, so she was a little anxious.
But what Su Xuan and Liu Lixue said makes sense.
Sandy lowered her eyes and nodded: "I was impulsive. Sorry, then half a month later."
The swordsman lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Su Xuan looked at him for a while and handed the thing he had kept in his sleeve to him.
"Here."
The tone is cold.
There was a silver feather on the slender hand, which looked very delicately made.
Sandy took it and asked, "What is this?"
"You don't have spiritual power now, so you can't use telepathy. This is the Silver Feather from the demon world. If you have any questions, you can use it to contact me... to contact Liu Lixue."
After he said this, he turned around and walked out, as if he was afraid of revealing something.
"I still have something to do."
A demon walked out in a hurry. Just after walking a short distance, he turned back and said to her fiercely, "Don't run around, Cui Shao. Keep an eye on her. If she dares to run, I will hold you accountable."
fierce.
Cui Shao responded: "Yes, my lord."
Sandy watched him turn and leave, his steps were very fast, as if someone was chasing him.
Liu Lixue raised his eyebrows at her and smiled meaningfully.
He also turned and left.
Two figures, one black and one red, walked away. Sandy looked at the silver feather in her hand and suddenly smiled.
She hung the feather around her waist, turned to Cui Shao and said, "Can you take me around? I want to walk around."
Cui Shao nodded: "Yes, young lady."
The Lord had told her in advance that if Miss Sang wanted to go out, she could walk around in the Demon Palace, but she could not leave the area of the Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace is protected by Su Xuan's spiritual power, but once outside the Demon Palace, the demonic energy will erode Sang Dai, who now has no spiritual power.
Su Xuan walked quite far away, and Liu Lixue followed him.
Once they were in a deserted place, the expressions of both of them changed rapidly.
Liu Lixue said coldly: "My Lord."
Su Xuan knew that he came to the Demon Palace not to ask when he would help Sang Dai restore her meridians, but for something else.
"say."
"Shen Ciyu went to Kongsang Realm."
Su Xuan suddenly stopped.
The fierce air pressure spread, blowing the black robe and lifting the silver hair.
When a Mahayana demon cultivator gets angry, he will release his pressure uncontrollably. Liu Lixue was too close to him, and even though his cultivation was not low, he vaguely felt a sense of restriction.
Liu Lixue said with difficulty: "My Lord."
Su Xuan's figure has disappeared.
Liu Lixue knelt on one knee and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips.
The demon king had murderous intentions, very strong murderous intentions.
