Drunken Dream (V)

Until the hour of Xu was almost over, there was still no movement in the hall.

Cui Shao stood outside the palace and knocked on the door: "My Lord, Madam, do you need food?"

There was no movement inside for a long time.

Cui Shao hesitated for a while, remembering that Su Xuan had reminded her many times before that Sang Dai must be well fed at all times and not be hungry.

But it’s already time for dinner… More than two hours have passed, and these two haven’t finished packing yet?

I won't be there anymore...

Cuishao's face turned red, she withdrew her hand and was about to leave, not wanting to delay them from making little fox cubs.

Just as I turned around, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened.

Cui Shao heard the sound and turned around to look.

Our master changed his clothes. It was no longer the black robe he wore when he came back. His silver hair was loosely tied up with a headband, and the half of his hair that was hanging down was still dripping with water.

Su Xuan didn't have the habit of drying his hair, but his body temperature dried his hair in just a quarter of an hour, so he must have just finished a shower.

There was a person vaguely visible behind the tall figure, but she was blocked by her own master and could not see the person. She could only see the master holding her hand.

"My Lord, Madam."

Cuishao bowed immediately.

Su Xuan nodded: "You can go and have your meal, and then go to rest. You don't have to wait for us to come back."

Cui Shao: “…Ah?”

Sandy poked her head out and said, "We are going to a place. We may be back late. Cuishao, you should go to bed early."

Cui Shao nodded hesitantly: "Oh, fine, I'll take my leave now."

She turned and left, tilting her head slightly in confusion.

The lady's hair looked different, as if it had been untied and combed again. She only wore a nine-rib hairpin, and her hair hung down in front of her body, covering her neck. She seemed to see something on the lady's neck...

Suddenly realizing what that thing was, Cui Shao's face turned red and her steps quickened.

Cuishao's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Sandy saw her suddenly quickened pace, she knew that she must have had some wrong ideas.

She lifted the paw of a fox that was holding her and said, "Master Demon King, can you let go?"

Su Xuan looked at her and frowned: "No."

He pulled Sandy out.

"Su Xuan, you just promised to give me some time to think it over."

"Just holding hands."

“…”

Well, she had nothing to say.

The little fox was content and held his sword cultivator at the head.

But in just a few months, things that had been impossible for him before gradually became simple and beautiful, and Sandy allowed him to get closer.

He was very, very happy.

"You said you would take me somewhere, take me there now."

Sandy asked back: "Aren't you already dragging me there?"

He had been thinking about her treasured land since just now, because Sandy said Su Xuan was the first person she would bring there, so the little fox was very much looking forward to it.

Su Xuan snorted twice, and walked out proudly, leading his swordsman.

The demon servants they met along the way saluted and shouted loudly, "Meet the Madam!"

Su Xuan raised his chin slightly, and couldn't stop the smile at the corner of his lips.

He turned around to look at the exquisite nine-string hairpin on the swordsman's bun and nodded with satisfaction.

[It's really beautiful. This hairpin must be worn by our Dai Dai. Give Dai Dai a kiss. ]

Sandy: “…………”

So this is the reason why he just untied her hair and re-tied it, and insisted that she wear this hairpin?

The little fox likes a swordsman and wants the whole world to know that he likes swordsmen.

Everyone in the demon world recognizes the Nine-String Hairpin, just like seeing the Demon King's Silver Feather, but now the Silver Feather is hanging on the sword cultivator and the Nine-String Hairpin is also worn on his head, so her identity is almost obvious at a glance.

Sandy let him go, because of the fireworks she had set off, now everyone in the four worlds knew about Sandy's relationship with him.

Su Xuan led her to the outside of the demon palace and asked, "Where are you going?"

Sandy said: "Drunk and dreamy."

Su Xuan: "...How do you know this place?"

Sang Dai walked slowly with Su Xuan and said in a low voice, "When I was fifteen, Madam Shi was seriously injured in a training and was poisoned. She needed a medicine, but I never found it. I was sad and scared for a long time. Later, one morning I woke up and saw a bamboo stick stuck on the window, telling me that Zuimengjian had many magical herbs. If I had the ability, I would go and get them."

At that time, Sandy still regarded Mrs. Shi as her own biological mother, so she was naturally very concerned about her. She never thought about whether it was a scam, and ran to the place pointed out by the bamboo stick overnight.

It was a bamboo forest with a gurgling stream and misty mountains in the distance. The place was extremely remote, at the border between the demon world and the fairy world. It was just a small village with no more than a few dozen people in the entire village.

Deep in the back hills of the village, there is a place called Zuimengjian, where mountains are connected one after another.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, a pair of lovers eloped here to avoid being hunted by their family. They built a house on the mountain, far away from worldly life, fished by the river, and named this place Zuimengjian.

Both of them were medical practitioners and planted a lot of medicinal herbs during their lifetime.

Sandy rushed here and searched the entire Zuimengjiang three times, and finally found the magic herb on a cliff.

Having said this she smiled and looked at the little fox beside her.

"I think it's very quiet there. Almost no one goes there. Sometimes when I'm tired from sword practice, or miss my master, or get injured in practice and don't want others to see me, I will go into the woods by myself and stay there for many days."

Su Xuan didn't say anything and looked a little strange.

Sandy laughed again: "Well, now that I think about it, I don't know who gave me the bamboo stick. He is such a good man."

Su Xuan turned his head away, the corners of his little fox's lips raised, and he saw the swordsman's teasing look out of the corner of his eye, and forced himself to suppress his smile.

"Who knows? He is indeed a good person. Why don't you go and ask him to repay you?"

Sandy narrowed her eyes and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and her look became more and more playful.

A good man feels that he has been seen through, and now he is the one who is embarrassed.

The little fox turned into a big fox, grabbed the swordsman by the waist and threw her onto its back. Sandy was immersed in his fluffy hair and touched him hard to satisfy her masturbation.

"Sit tight, I'll take you to Zuimengyan."

Sandy hugged the nine-tailed fox's neck: "Okay."

The nine-tailed fox was very fast and could teleport thousands of miles away in an instant. The cold wind was also blocked by the karmic fire around Su Xuan. Sang Dai sniffed the herbal fragrance on the little fox and secretly made up her mind to find out the formula of this fragrance.

She felt safe when she smelled it, and she could light it before going to bed at night, which would surely help her sleep soundly.

Half an hour later they arrived at Zuimengjian.

Sandy jumped off the nine-tailed fox's back and touched the little fox's furry hair. It felt really good.

Su Xuan transformed into a human and stood beside her, skillfully taking the swordsman's hand.

"You really only brought me here?"

Sandy nodded: "Really, when have I ever told a lie?"

They were the only ones who came.

This place was very important to her, and she had only brought him here. So, to round it off, he was very important to her.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Su Xuan's tail was about to wag.

"Then I'll go with you to have a look."

He is always too arrogant. Even though his ears are still standing upright and the smile at the corners of his lips cannot be concealed, he still has to pretend to be reserved.

Sandy shook her head and gave him another label.

Princess Su is a proud little fox.

Zuimengjian is located deep in the mountains, with only one small village within a hundred miles. The people in the village are ordinary people who have not awakened their spiritual roots, so the sword cultivator is almost the only one who has been here.

The woods were deep and dense, the moonlight cast its shadow over the path, and the sounds of insects and frogs were particularly distinct.

Sandy took him to the deepest point.

The bamboo houses built everywhere are somewhat similar to Sang Dai's residence in the back mountain of the Sword Sect. She is a person who does not have high demands on life and always lives a frugal life. She only focuses on her swordsmanship and is used to a simple and low-key life, unlike Su Xuan who is extravagant and high-profile.

For Sandy, just having a place to live is enough.

The swordsman looked up to light the lamp hanging under the eaves.

The simple bamboo house can be seen at a glance. It is just a small room and the courtyard is also very small. The swordsman only built a fence around it as a courtyard wall.

There is only a bamboo hanging chair in the yard. It is very spacious and is considered the most valuable thing.

"Ms. Sang is really good at getting by." Su Xuan said indifferently, but the pain in his eyes could not be hidden, "She didn't even buy a few lamps."

After lighting the lamp, Sandy turned back to look at him and agreed, "Yes, yes, you know I don't have much money, and I rarely take money from the Sword Sect. Could you please let our Master Demon King sit for a while?"

Just as she was about to pick up the fallen leaves in the yard, a fox was faster than her and used the cleaning magic to clean up the yard that had not been visited for a long time.

"Daidai." Su Xuan looked at her, "I have money."

Sandy: “I know.”

Su Xuan added: "I have money."

[So you can spend my money as much as you want. Everything I have is yours, Dai Dai. There is no need to make your life so miserable.]

Sandy was stunned at first, but when she understood the meaning of his words, she felt like laughing.

"My Lord Demon King, although I am not rich, I am not poor either. It's just that I live too comfortably. I have given all my spiritual stones to this precious little one." Sang Dai took Zhiyu out of the Qiankun bag, raised the Zhiyu Sword, and said, "You know, nine out of ten of us sword cultivators are poor. I don't really live a hard life. I am willing to do this."

Su Xuan lowered his eyes, without listening to her explanation, he took out a storage ring from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Sang Dai.

Sandy took it and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"money."

After using her spiritual power to examine the ring, Sandy said: "..."

She was not wrong.

She saw a whole storage ring filled with high-quality spirit stones, which was several times more than what Sandy had earned from the Sword Sect in the past hundred years.

Sandy: “…No.”

She wanted to give it to Su Xuan: "I don't want it. I don't need money for anything. If I need it, I can earn it."

In the past, when she was short of money, she would take a few orders to exorcise evil spirits and earn some money that ordinary monks could earn.

The little fox forcefully put the ring on Sandy's hand and said angrily, "You go and make money? I work day and night to develop the business of the demon world just to make money. I'm not dead yet, so why do I need you to make money? The demon world doesn't need the demon queen to work and make money!"

Sandy: “…………”

Su Xuan seemed to realize what he had said, his ears turned red and his eyes avoided.

"Anyway, you don't need to struggle. It's not like the demon world can't afford to support you."

After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the bamboo house and went in, leaving Sandy standing in the yard in a daze.

She glanced at the ring on her ring finger, lowered her head and chuckled, then took off the ring and put it into her Qiankun bag.

The economy and commerce of the demon world are the strongest among the four worlds because there has been no war for a hundred years. After Su Xuan ascended the throne, he also worked hard to develop these. The people live in peace without war. In addition, with the strong support of the demon king, the business is naturally becoming more and more huge.

The other three realms have been in constant war, which has consumed a lot of money in recent years. The impact of war on the economy is obvious.

Sandy looked toward the bamboo house. There was a light inside. A little fox had lit a lamp.

In fact, it is really good for the demon world to have Su Xuan as the demon king.

He was a non-warlike, intelligent and powerful monarch.

Sandy walked into the bamboo house.

Su Xuan was too tall, and he felt a little uncomfortable in the narrow bamboo house. His head was about to hit the ceiling.

Sang Dai sighed and decided to tear down the place and rebuild it again, otherwise Su Xuan would continue to suffer such a grievance in the future.

She walked forward and pointed at the painting on the wall: "That was painted by me."

Su Xuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does the Sword Sect really not want to teach you Danqing?"

Sang Dai scratched her head and said awkwardly, "...This, in fact, other disciples have taught me, but Sang Wenzhou said that I only need to practice swordsmanship, and there is no need to learn other things, so he didn't let me learn these."

Su Xuan lowered his eyes to look at her, nodded, and suddenly said: "You let him die so easily."

If he fell into his hands, he would definitely hang Sang Wenzhou up and castrate him, and then draw his skin on him to make a kite and fly it around the world to embarrass himself.

Shi Yao and Shen Ci Yu had a complete childhood. They learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, learned a lot of things, were taught how to behave in society, and were taken on travels by Sang Wenzhou.

The life of a swordsman is just boring day after day.

Practice swordsmanship, practice swordsmanship, and practice swordsmanship.

Get rid of evil, get rid of evil, and get rid of evil.

The little fox looked at the painting on the wall and could tell it was an osmanthus tree.

Although it is a little difficult to recognize, it has a kind of abstract beauty, said the little fox.

Su Xuan asked: "Why do you like osmanthus?"

Sandy replied: "There is no reason. I have liked it since I was a child."

She asked back, "What about you? Why did the Demon Palace plant so many osmanthus trees?"

The little fox looked down at her and said, "Because it's easy to live."

Sandy: “…”

[Of course, because Dai Dai likes it. There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the hills behind Dai Dai, and Dai Dai likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake. ]

Sangsangdai couldn't help laughing, but fearing that she would reveal her true colors, she quickly pointed to the bamboo tube on the table.

"Look, the little gadgets in there are all made by me over the years. My master taught me when he was still alive."

Su Xuan walked over and picked up the bamboo tube, which contained mostly grasshoppers, grass butterflies and other things.

He picked up a woven item that looked a bit like a kitten and asked, "Is this a cat?

The swordsman shook his head seriously: "It's a fox, okay? Don't change its species."

Su Xuan took another look: "..."

A complicated expression.

Jian Xiu tried to save face: "This is my first time editing a fox, so it doesn't look like it, but the others are all very similar."

Su Xuan took a look and nodded.

It’s true. Except for the little fox, everything else seems to be well-made.

He spoke decisively: "Then make one for me, the best one."

Sandy asked with a smile: "Want to make a little fox?

"……Um."

"Okay, braid a little fox for the little fox."

The swordsman stayed with him for a long time, and even spoke to him more and more like he was coaxing a child, because a certain fox was really childish.

But the little fox thought this was a kind of pampering.

Sang Dai's bamboo house was almost bare, with only a painting, a table and a bed, but the house was very clean and tidy, and she always kept it clean.

Su Xuan asked her, "If you like this place, I will help you rebuild the house so that you can live here in the future."

He didn't care. It didn't matter whether he lived in the Demon Palace or not. There weren't so many rules. The most important thing was that Sandy liked him.

Sandy shook her head and said, "No, it's too cold here in winter. It's nice to come here and relax occasionally."

She touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry. Do you want to eat? I still have some food in my Qiankun bag."

Because of a certain fox that never left, Sandy also learned to pack some food.

Su Xuan shook his head and walked outside, snorting twice: "I only eat fresh food."

Sandy followed him: "So we go back now?"

Su Xuan came to the stream outside the bamboo house and sneered, "No, I won't go back. You want to chase me away after just a short time here."

Sandy was helpless, and just as she was about to coax the little fox, she saw the little fox take off his shoes, roll up his trouser legs, and go into the water before her.

He rolled up his gorgeous sleeves, revealing his strong and thin arms, and took out from his Qiankun bag...

Bamboo fork.

Sandy: “???”

Does he always carry this kind of stuff with him?

The little fox didn't look back at her, his eyes fixed on the river.

"Miss Sang, you have never eaten wild game, right? There are often spirit fish in streams like this, with delicious meat. I used to catch them a lot when I was a kid."

Sandy stood on the shore and said hesitantly, "There are fish. Not many people come here and the stream is deep, but I have never caught fish and I don't know how to handle them. If you want to eat them, we can use our spiritual power to catch one."

Su Xuan didn't even turn his head: "When I was a child, I never used spiritual power to catch fish."

Sang Dai squatted on the shore and watched him, and asked: "Does that mean you only use bamboo forks? How can you catch it?"

Su Xuan's tail was about to flutter, and he said lazily: "It's a technical problem, Miss, please take a look."

Sandy burst out laughing as he watched a fox walk deeper and deeper into the stream, the water reaching up to his thighs and soaking his expensive clothes.

Su Xuan's voice came: "Daidai, sometimes the result is not important, what is important is the process."

It’s just like when they try to catch fish; without spiritual power they may not be able to catch them, but the process is still enjoyable.

Su Xuan turned around and looked at her. His voice was very gentle, even with a smile: "Miss Sang, life is very interesting. It is not only about practicing swordsmanship. You can also choose not to practice swordsmanship, go up the mountain to pick fruits, go down the river to catch fish, these can all be your life, so Dai Dai, come down and join me?"

Sandy hesitated: "I can't."

"Let me teach you."

"…How could you do that?"

"When I was a kid, I used to hang out with Liu Lixue. We both knew how to do this."

Sandy: “…Okay.”

Liu Lixue seems to be quite good at these things. It seems that he knows a little bit about everything. Su Xuan has a very good relationship with Liu Lixue, and he must have done a lot of these things when he was young.

Sang Dai took off her shoes, carefully rolled up her trousers, walked down the river and towards Su Xuan.

The stream was quite deep, and the water inside had already reached her waist.

Su Xuan handed her the bamboo fork and said, "There's one there, go catch it, be careful, or we'll be hungry tonight."

"……good."

Sang Dai held the bamboo fork, saw the spirit fish in the distance, and took a deep breath as if she was holding a gunpowder.

As if Su Xuan had given her a very important task and that she was carrying a heavy responsibility, Sandy approached the fish carefully.

Su Xuan crossed his arms and looked at her, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

The swordsman found the right moment and stabbed down with the bamboo fork...

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and leaned forward to look.

Oh, the fish really ran away.

He just knew it.

Sandy couldn't believe it: "I was clearly looking at its position when I stabbed it. My sword skills have never failed."

Her eyes were always accurate, and she could accurately poke any acupuncture point of the opponent when wielding the sword.

Su Xuan laughed muffledly, facing the swordsman's confused gaze, touched her head, and said, "But this is catching fish, not practicing swordsmanship. You are in the water now, and the position you see is different from where it is."

The little fox pointed at the moonlight and said softly, "The light falls on the water, penetrates through and falls on the fish. The position you see is not accurate. It is just an illusion, which is shallower than its actual position. Dai Dai, it has to be like this -"

The little fox took the bamboo fork and moved quickly and accurately. When he raised the fork again, a spirit fish was already skewered on it.

Sandy: “…”

Su Xuan threw the fish onto the shore and personally demonstrated to the swordsman what it meant to use experience to defeat her swordsmanship.

Sandy doesn't touch anything else except sword practice. Su Xuan and Liu Lixue have been slacking off since they were young, and they have summed up their experience through repeated practice.

Su Xuan handed the bamboo fork to Sang Dai: "Do you understand?"

Sandy nodded: "My naked eyes can't see it accurately, so I have to move a little bit and insert it deeper?"

"right."

"Understood."

The swordsman now felt full of energy. He took a deep breath and waded towards where the fish were gathering.

Su Xuan didn't move and watched her trying with the bamboo fork.

Sandy was just as he remembered, very intelligent and patient, and would try again if she failed once.

It's just like when she practices swordplay. If she fails once, she'll try again. If she fails one day, she'll try every day.

Sandy has always been very stubborn, and Su Xuan likes this kind of Sandy, who is vigorous, strong and brave.

The swordsman had a great time tonight and caught quite a few fish. Su Xuan didn't stop her and saw that she was having a lot of fun.

He went ashore and put the fish that Sandy had thrown into the bamboo basket. As the night deepened, Jian Xiu came running up excitedly with a bamboo fork.

Her clothes were still wet, her feet as white as jade stepped on the stones, and she squatted down to look at the bamboo basket in front of her.

Sandy was very happy and asked, "How many did I catch?"

Su Xuan sat on a stone nearby and raised his hand to signal, "One basket."

She was so smart that she understood it almost immediately. After she became proficient, she got it right almost every time.

Sandy was not wearing shoes and squatted on the ground to count.

"Seventeen!" Sang Dai's eyes lit up. "Master Liu wanted to eat fried fish, so I took it back and asked Cui Shao to make it for him."

Su Xuan smiled and nodded: "You are the one who decides what to do with the fish you caught."

The swordsman smiled and sat down on the ground: "So what are we going to eat tonight? Make soup?"

The little fox shook his head: "No pot."

Sword Master: "...Um, grilled fish?"

The little fox nodded: "That's fine."

He sat up straight and took out the seasoning he had gotten from Liu Lixue from his Qiankun bag.

"I just happened to rob him."

Su Xuan grabbed two fish from the bamboo basket and walked towards the stream with a knife in hand.

Sandy asked, "What are you going to do?"

Su Xuan: "Kill."

Sandy: “…………”

She didn't know how to handle fish, so she sat on the shore and watched the little fox scrape the scales and remove the dirt skillfully, wash the fish clean, and then walk towards her with two handled fish.

The little fox skillfully cut a bamboo, washed it clean, broke it, and strung the two fish together.

He ignited a fire of karma, and Sandeton felt warm.

She couldn't cook or grill fish, but Su Xuan knew a lot, so Jian Xiu sat down obediently, hugged her knees and waited for him.

The firelight softened Su Xuan's eyebrows and eyes, and his cold and hard facial features became much softer.

The water on Sang Dai's body was gradually dried. She rested her chin on her knees and asked him, "Su Xuan, you are a prince, why do you have so many things?"

A prince is a skilled cook, and he can do anything from picking fruits in the mountains to fishing in the river. However, big families often attach great importance to face, so these things are usually done by subordinates.

Su Xuan didn't even raise his eyes and said calmly: "The royal family doesn't care about me. My mother was not favored at first."

Sandy paused and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard you talk about the royal family."

Su Xuan flipped the grilled fish while talking: "There's nothing wrong with telling you. I didn't tell you before because I was worried about dirtying your hands..."

Sandy glanced at him and asked cautiously, "But I want to know something. I want to help you. Su Xuan, can I ask?"

Su Xuan raised his eyes to look at her: "You want to know about me?"

"Well, you've helped me a lot, and I want to help you, too. Maybe I can help?"

Su Xuan was silent for a moment, then said: "...If you want to know, you can."

Sandy pursed her lips and asked softly, "Um, is your mother still here?"

She had never heard Su Xuan mention his mother. She knew that Su Xuan's father was still alive, but he had never mentioned his mother.

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and held two bamboos with grilled fish on them in his hands.

His voice was very faint: "Dead."

Sandy: “…I’m sorry.”

Su Xuan said: "There's no need to apologize. Death is a normal thing. For her, death may be a relief."

Sang Dai didn't say anything, she knew Su Xuan would tell her about his own affairs.

Su Xuan said slowly: "My mother is a branch of the nine-tailed fox royal family, but her bloodline is weak, so she is a nine-tailed fox with bad talent. She can't be a demon queen, but can only be a concubine. My father is a playboy by nature. He not only has many concubines, but also many children. I am his seventh son, but my father has eleven princes and seventeen princesses."

"My mother didn't love my father, but she was forced to marry him. After giving birth to me, she gradually became like the other concubines. She began to learn how to compete for favors, how to scheme, and how to calculate."

Su Xuan paused, and said in a soft voice: "She did it for me. She knew that if she was not favored, I would be neither."

Sang Dai knew this truth. Su Xuan was a member of the royal family, especially his father had many concubines and children.

"My mother is a bit stupid and has no brains. She got involved in the royal family's schemes, which only got her embroiled deeper and deeper. But my mother is pretty, and my father gradually doted on her more. I was also gradually valued."

Sandy said: "Your mother is very kind to you."

Su Xuan said coldly: "She is very good, she is good in every way, but she gave birth to a bad child."

Sandy frowned and retorted: "But you are also very good. You are a person with awakened spiritual roots. You are strong and smart. You are a gift from heaven to the world."

Su Xuan looked at her with a calm expression, but she could see sadness for no reason.

"Dai Dai, do you know that many years ago, the demon world was controlled by the Twelve Palaces, and the royal family had less than one-third of the power. The real power was in the hands of the Twelve Palaces."

Sandy nodded: "I know."

Su Xuan said: "But I awakened my heavenly spiritual roots when I was seven years old."

Sandy frowned slightly, realizing the meaning of his words, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Su Xuan smiled and said, "The royal family has a prince who has awakened a heavenly spiritual root. If I grow up, the status of the Twelve Palaces will be threatened, so they will definitely kill me first."

In fact, having said this, she could guess what was going to happen next.

"My mother was extremely scared. She kept it a secret and didn't dare to let anyone know that I was a Heaven-level spiritual root awakener, including my father. She began to desire to become stronger. She thought that if she was favored, she could discuss with my father to protect me and fight against the Twelve Palaces. She was too naive. My father had lived a life of poverty. It was impossible for him to fight against the Twelve Palaces for me. It would be like a gnat trying to shake a tree or an egg trying to hit a stone."

"She got more and more involved. The intrigues of the royal family were enough to eat her up. Until I was eleven years old, the Guixu spiritual vein was destroyed, the demon world spiritual vein dried up, and the Twelve Palaces discovered that I was a heavenly spiritual root awakener. They imprisoned me and used my flesh and blood to feed the demon world spiritual vein."

Sandy blinked, her breath sour: "Su Xuan, stop talking."

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and told the final outcome: "My mother took the wrong path in order to save me, and she conspired with my father to rebel. My father caught her and executed her, but her biggest mistake was actually giving birth to me."

Su Xuan said these words very calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

The fish was a little mushy, and Su Xuan hadn't turned it over for a long time.

Sandy reached out and took the fish from his hand and helped to turn it over.

She whispered, "So you later eliminated the Twelve Palaces but did not touch the royal family. Was it because of your mother?"

Su Xuan is not a person who cares about blood relationship. He only cares about sincerity. Among the royal family, only his mother treats him sincerely, but he did not get rid of the royal family and allowed them to do things secretly to annoy him. Su Xuan must have been cautious for not taking action.

The only person he could be concerned about was his mother.

The little fox looked at Sandy with his glassy eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, because my mother's body is in their hands."

Sandy paused as she grilled the fish.

Su Xuan leaned back, supported his arms on the ground, and looked up at the moon.

"My mother's body is in their hands, but I can't find it."

The night wind blew through the woods, bringing with it the hoarse voice of the little fox.

"Dede, I can't find her."

Sandy clenched the grilled fish in her hand.

She knew Su Xuan so well that she knew he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

The surroundings were very quiet. A long time passed and the little fox did not move. He tilted his head and looked at something.

Maybe, he didn't want her to see his tears.

Sang Dai suddenly spoke: "Su Xuan."

The little fox turned his head away, wiped the corners of his eyes, and looked over with a smile.

"It's all in the past. There's no point in talking about this. Let's eat the fish first."

He was about to take the fish from Sandy's hand, but the swordsman suddenly dodged and put the grilled fish aside.

The dark eyes looked at him quietly, their shoulders were touching, their eyes looking into each other's.

Sandy said: "If I were a mother, I would like to be a shield for my child instead of threatening his weak spot. I don't want him to be controlled by others because of my existence. I hope that even without me, he can live with confidence and self-reliance."

"Your mother was a good person. She was brave enough to fight for you. You definitely didn't want her body to become a reason for someone to take you away after her death, leaving you tied down forever."

Su Xuan didn't say anything, just stared at her motionlessly, with a gloomy and sad emotion in his eyes.

"Death is irreversible. Maybe one day I will die, Su Xuan. If I become a threat to you after my death, I hope you can give up everything and give it a try, just for yourself."

Sandy held his hand, smiled with her eyes curved, her eyebrows slightly raised, her expression relaxed, but her words were as firm and credible as ever.

"Su Xuan, it's just a royal family. I'll help you take it down."
