Pillow Flower Ferry (V)
Su Xuan was extremely busy these past two days, getting up early in the morning and returning home when the stars came out at night.
Su Xuan is busy dealing with the affairs of the demon world. The estrus period is one month, and he must make arrangements for the demon world in advance, solve the things that need to be solved, and solve the things that need to be solved in advance.
Sandy had also been to the Divine Doctor Valley for two days in a row, and she probably wouldn’t be able to come back for the next month. She was really worried about Ying Heng.
She stood outside the house waiting, and could faintly hear a few painful groans from inside, but it seemed that the owner knew that Sandy was waiting outside, and the cries of pain were quickly suppressed by his master.
Sandy waited for a long time, until it was dark.
Nangong Cang opened the door, still with a stern face: "First, build his body. His body is too weak, and now he can't even fuse a spiritual root."
Sang Dai hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Nangong!"
Nangong Cang responded, turned around and left.
Sang Dai walked in hurriedly, and saw Ying Heng holding onto the couch and coughing.
"Master, are you okay?" Sandy patted his back and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Ying Heng noticed his disciple coming and smiled, "Daidai, Master is fine. His meridians are much better now. This is just the pain that comes with body shaping."
Sandy helped him sit down.
Ying Heng asked with a smile: "You spend all day in the Divine Doctor Valley, isn't the Demon King jealous?"
Sandy felt his pulse and shook her head, "He won't."
Su Xuan respected Ying Heng very much and knew what serious things must be done.
Ying Heng's health improved a lot and he had more strength to speak.
Sang Dai heaved a sigh of relief and half-knelt in front of Ying Heng: "Master, I may not come here to see you for the next month. If you have anything, you can call Liu Lixue."
Ying Heng understood, and was silent for a moment, then asked with red ears: "Daidai, have you made up your mind?"
Sandy nodded: "I've made up my mind. I will only be with him for the rest of my life. He has waited for too long."
"You won't regret it?"
“I will never regret it.”
Ying Heng also laughed and said, "Daidai, I'm glad you don't regret it. When you see Master again, maybe Master can prepare a reunion ceremony for you."
Sandy smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for Master."
The jade token on his waist rang at this moment.
Sandy picked up the phone and heard the little fox's voice.
"Dai Dai, how is the Immortal Lord doing?"
Sandy glanced at Ying Heng and replied, "Much better."
"What time will you be back tonight?"
"Go back immediately."
"What's for dinner?"
"It's all right. You can do whatever you want."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the jade token. Sang Dai hadn't said anything for such a long time that Ying Heng naturally guessed what had happened.
He touched Sandy's head and said, "Go back, Daidai. The demon king is still waiting for you. Master also needs to rest."
Sandy stood up and said, "Master, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."
"good."
Before leaving, Sandy glanced at Ying Heng. He was still smiling, as if he knew she would come back.
He's really gotten better.
Sandy curled her lips and smiled. If she came in a month, she would definitely see a healthier Ying Heng.

The night wind blew up the fallen petals in the yard. In late autumn, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers gradually withered. Last night's rain filled the entire yard with fallen petals.
Cuishao finished sweeping with a broom and picked the flowers that had not yet fallen from the tree.
Sang Dai likes to eat osmanthus cake, and Su Xuan has planted osmanthus trees over the years so that he can make a few cakes for her every year.
Tomorrow is the master's mating period. Cui Shao wants to make more osmanthus cake for the two of them so that if Sandi wants to eat it during the mating period, she will have something to eat.
She picked a small basket of osmanthus flowers, shook them and was just about to filter out the fallen leaves when a gust of cold wind blew past.
The wind seemed to have its own consciousness and only blew up the fallen leaves in the basket.
Cuishao looked at him in surprise.
A person was hanging above the tall main hall. He was not standing on the tiles of the roof, but was stepping on thick black air. His plain black clothes were swaying in the wind, his black hair was disheveled, and he was wearing a mask to cover his face, revealing only his pale jaw and dark eyes.
He smiled frivolously and said, "It seems that you have been having a good time in the demon world these days? She has forgotten what I told her."
Cuishao's basket fell to the ground.
She reacted quickly, and just as she was about to call for help, a figure in the air teleported in front of her.
The cold hand strangled her neck. Although he was not using any force, the dark energy on his wrist made Cui Shao feel cold from the soles of her feet. She had difficulty breathing and her whole body was cold.
"Little girl, I have no intention of killing you. I just came to deliver a message to Sandy so she can take a good look at it."
The last few words, word by word, seemed to emphasize the importance of this matter.
It seemed that he really just came to deliver a message. After he finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of paper into Cuishao's hand, raised the corner of his lips, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Cuishao fell to the ground.
The cold touch on her neck, the feeling of suffocation, and the note stuffed in her palm all told her that this was not a dream.
She looked at the note in her palm in horror.
She knew who that man was. She served Sandy personally, so how could she not know that there was a stranger in black who wanted to kill Sandy?
The Demon Palace is protected by Su Xuan's barrier. Unless someone has a higher level of cultivation than Su Xuan, no one can break in.
And Sandy told him that there was a person who had no realm of cultivation and could go to any place in the world.
The man in black behind the scenes.
There were footsteps outside the yard, and Cuishao could tell who the footsteps came from.
She coughed violently and looked up hastily.
As soon as Sandy entered the courtyard, she noticed something was wrong.
The smile hidden between his brows disappeared instantly, and the Zhiyu Sword was immediately unsheathed.
Cui Shao rolled over and got up: "Madam!"
Sandy immediately pulled her behind her: "He's here?"
Cui Shao held her neck with both hands and gasped, "Yes... No, he, he left again!"
There was indeed no trace of him in the courtyard.
Sandy frowned, turned around and saw the red mark on Cuishao's neck.
She hurriedly used her spiritual power to help her breathe more smoothly.
Cuishao looked behind Sang Dai and said, "Madam, where is the Lord?"
Sandy said, "I went to deal with the affairs of the Demon Palace and haven't come back yet. What happened?"
Cui Shao handed the note in her hand to Sang Dai: "This is what that person left behind. He asked me to give it to you so that you can take a good look at it."
Sandy took the note and unfolded it.
Cuishao's eyes were tense, and she was keenly aware of the low pressure around her. Sandy's face looked ugly, and a coldness appeared in her once gentle eyes.
"lady?"
Sang Dai put away the note and gently stroked Cui Shao's hair: "Go down, I will help you remove the black energy, go back and take a pill and rest for a night."
She stuffed a bottle of pills into Cui Shao's hand.
"But ma'am—"
"Cui Shao, I'll take care of it."
Sandy's tone was firm. Since she said so, Cuishao could naturally understand what Sandy meant.
She replied hesitantly, "Yes, ma'am."
Cuishao turned and left.
Sandy collected the scattered bamboo baskets in the yard, and then sat at the stone table in the yard waiting.
After midnight, a fox returned home late after finishing his work for the day.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sandy sitting in the yard with her back to him. The swordsman did not serve him tea.
The little fox raised an eyebrow, walked over and hugged her waist from behind, leaned over and kissed her on the face: "Daidai, are you waiting for me? I'll wash my hands and cook for you, okay? Tomorrow is my estrus period, let's go to Zhenhuadu tomorrow afternoon."
Sandy said calmly, "Sit down, I want to tell you something first."
Su Xuan knew her very well. Sandy hadn't spoken to him in this tone for a long time. The little fox stopped smiling improperly.
"Dede?"
He sat down opposite Sandy, his eyes became much more focused, and even his voice sounded much more serious.
Sang Dai asked: "Su Xuan, what are you and Liu Lixue busy with?"
Su Xuan's eyes darkened: "Daidai, who said something to you?"
Sandy continued to ask: "Or let me ask another question. Can you tell me the truth about the extermination of Weisheng's family?"
Su Xuan's expression turned completely cold: "Daidai, who told you?"
It couldn't be Liu Lixue. Liu Lixue would never tell such a thing. The only people who knew about it were him and Liu Lixue...
No, that's not right.
"He's here?" Su Xuan's face suddenly turned cold: "What did he tell you?"
Sang Dai just looked at him quietly and asked him: "Su Xuan, do you know the truth about the annihilation of Wei Sheng's family?"
Su Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I... Dai Dai..."
What should he say?
It is said that the Weisheng family was wiped out because of Sandy. Did Sandy bring about the annihilation of the entire Weisheng family?
Or will Sandy's relationship with the Four Bitternesses cause the entire Four Realms to surround and kill her, and everyone around her, as long as they stand on the same side with her, will be surrounded and killed by the Four Realms?
A long time ago, Jian Xiu hugged him and cried, asking him what she had done and why there was no one around her?
She did nothing wrong.
But if Sandy knew the truth, she would blame herself for everything.
Su Xuan turned his head away: "I don't know, Dai Dai, I only know that the extinction of Wei Sheng's family is related to the Four Bitternesses, what that person said may not be true, Liu Lixue and I are investigating."
Sang Dai said in a calm voice: "But Su Xuan, that man did not tell me the truth about the extinction of Wei Sheng's family. How do you know that what he said is wrong? Do you know the truth?"
Su Xuan's hands on his knees curled up slightly.
The little fox's Adam's apple moved slightly, and it seemed to be having difficulty breathing.
In the confrontation with Sang Dai, whoever panics first will be the loser. Obviously, Su Xuan lost.
They know each other too well and can see the flaws in each other's words.
Sandy spread the note out on the table.
Just a few lines.
——Why don’t you go and ask what your good husband and that Mr. Liu are discussing. I told Su Xuan the truth about the annihilation of Weisheng’s family, but it seems you didn’t hear it clearly at that time.
After Su Xuan survived the thunder tribulation, Sang Dai rushed to find him. When she saw that man, she didn't pay any attention to what he said. Her mind was filled with Su Xuan kneeling on the ground silently as if he was dead.
Now that I think about it, that person seemed to have left a message before he left.
——Sang Dai, I have told Su Xuan the truth about the extinction of Weisheng’s family. If you want to know, go and ask him.
She didn't hear the words clearly, and didn't ask about it after she came back, so the man came in person, as if he had to let her know about this.
The little fox was a little flustered: "Daidai, listen to me, I will give you the most correct answer. What he said may not be right."
Sandy narrowed her eyes slightly: "Su Xuan, I didn't say anything, what are you afraid of?"
Su Xuan's lips moved, and he held Sandy's hand and spoke softly: "Daidai, I will never hide anything from you. Give me some time and I will find out everything immediately."
In fact, it just takes some time to verify the truth of this matter.
If that was true, then he would try to find a way to tell her in the least hurtful way.
If it were true, he could tell Sandy openly:
——The destruction of Weisheng’s family has nothing to do with you, and the people around you will not die because of you.
Sandy cares too much about affection. She will protect anyone who is good to her with her life.
If his parents died because of her, and the whole family was destroyed because of her, and her relationship with Si Ku would put everyone around her in dire straits, how could he dare to tell Sandy these things?
Sang Dai lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time, so long that Su Xuan was a little scared.
She suddenly spoke again: "Su Xuan."
"I am here."
"How many days did you survive the thunder tribulation?"
Su Xuan: "I... Dai Dai..."
Sandy raised her eyes to look at him: "How many days have you been here?"
Su Xuanyi didn't dare to look into her eyes, and turned his head away quickly, saying in a deep voice, "Three days."
Sandy asked, "Is it really three days, not a quarter of an hour?"
It usually takes several days for ordinary cultivators to endure the thunder tribulation.
But the people that Heaven wanted to kill were different, and the thunderbolts struck one after another, leaving no chance for the cultivators to relax and heal.
"When I went there, you had already survived the catastrophe. Liu Lixue told me that it took you three days. Now I want to ask, was it really three days?"
Su Xuan's Adam's apple rolled and his lips moved for a few seconds, but no sound came out.
"Su Xuan, how many days?"
Su Xuan spoke in a hoarse voice: "...It really was three days."
He couldn't let Sang Dai know that Tiandao also wanted to kill him, and Su Xuan also became one of the people Tiandao wanted to kill.
Anyone who wants to help Sandy will be marked as dead by God.
Sandy suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, three days is three days. I want to sleep."
She turned around and walked into the house, leaving Su Xuan alone sitting in the yard.
The little fox looked at her back helplessly and naturally saw that she was angry. He was really afraid that Sandy would be angry, so he sat in the yard for a long time until he saw the light in the main hall go out.
Su Xuan waited for a while, but there was no movement inside. He couldn't help it, so he took a step forward and carefully pushed the door open.
He stood at the door. It was dark inside and the bed curtains were drawn.
The little fox whispered, "Daidai."
No one answered him.
He was also scared at this moment, and did not notice anything wrong, so he walked into the house first.
Su Xuan came outside the bed curtain and called out again: "Daidai, I was wrong. I told you, I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied to you."
Still no one paid any attention to him.
He was extremely anxious, so he opened the bed curtain and pressed down on the bed.
"Baby Dai Dai, I was really wrong. I'll tell you what I'm doing, okay?"
The little fox missed.
He blinked, realized something, and suddenly stood up and swung the night pearl.
The couch was empty. They had slept here together last night, but now there was only the covered bedding.
Before leaving, Sandy made the quilt for him.
If there hadn't been the Nine-String Hairpin beside his pillow, he would have thought that Dai Dai had just gone out for a walk.
Su Xuan quickly rushed to the window, opened it and looked out, seeing a string of footprints outside.
Sandy was gone long ago.
Su Xuan suddenly closed the window, took out the jade token with trembling hands, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.
Liu Lixue was awakened from her sleep.
"My Lord?"
The voice from the jade token was very panicked: "Liu Lixue, Dai Dai doesn't want me anymore!"
Liu Lixue: “…”
