The Demon World (IV)

It was too natural a reaction. Su Xuan's hand was still on her face. The nine-tailed fox had a higher body temperature, so his hands were also warm and dry, forming a sharp contrast with Sang Dai's slightly cool body.

She blinked, her eyes blank.

Su Xuan came to his senses as if he was scalded, and quickly withdrew his hand. His expression changed quickly, and he became the arrogant and annoying fox again.

"Miss Sang is very resilient, why did you cry just because you had a fever?"

The tone is sarcastic.

But Sandy just looked at him.

[I am so heartbroken. Does it really hurt? Liu Lixue is a piece of shit. He can't even heal this little injury. I will go to the Divine Doctor Valley right away to catch that little monster. He must have a way.]

Sandy is now certain that she can hear Su Xuan's inner voice, and it seems that this can only be heard when she looks into his eyes.

When she didn't look him in the eye, she couldn't hear it, or maybe she couldn't hear it clearly, so she had heard the intermittent voices of his heart before.

And it seemed that she could only hear Su Xuan's voice, but she could not hear the maid's voice.

As for other rules, she hasn't figured them out yet, but the fact that she can hear Su Xuan's inner voice is shocking enough.

Seeing that Sandy was staring at him, Su Xuan's two fox ears were about to pop out and the whole fox froze.

[Why is Dai Dai looking at me? Is she going to chop me with a sword again? But the Zhiyu Sword is broken... She must be feeling very uncomfortable now. How about standing here and letting Dai Dai hit her a few times to vent her anger? ]

Sandy: “…”

She finally couldn't help herself and said, "Su Xuan, my eyes are just sore. Can you get up and let me sit up? You are sitting on the quilt and I can't get up."

Su Xuan then realized that she was sitting on the edge of the couch, pressed down on the thin quilt. With her current weak strength, she was unable to break free.

[Damn it, I didn't even notice that Dai Dai's eyes were sore, and I immediately asked Liu Lixue to prepare medicine. 】

But Sandy saw a fox stand up leisurely and look down at her: "Miss Sand, your life is still useful to me. There are thousands of people captured in your fairy world. If you don't want them to die, stay alive and let me have fun."

There was a huge gap between Su Xuan's words and his inner thoughts. Both the tone and the meaning made Sandi wonder for a moment whether he had been abandoned.

She ignored his words and sat up on the bed. She found that the broken meridians in her body had been repaired a little and she had more strength than before. She guessed that someone had healed her while she was unconscious just now.

Sang Dai's lips were pale, she wore no makeup, her black hair hung down softly. She raised her head to look at Su Xuan.

"I will live well, Su Xuan, and I will never give up my life again."

She had no spiritual power and was doomed to die on the battlefield. In order to avoid being eaten and killed, she even thought about committing suicide.

But now, with a chance to live, why would she want to die?

The master has not been found yet, and there is no clue as to what happened back then.

Su Xuan turned his head away: "I don't care, I just want you to die in my hands."

"Liu Lixue, treat her wounds." Su Xuan turned around and pushed aside the beaded curtain that blocked her way. "I still have things to deal with. Don't let her die."

Another person who was already in the room nodded while suppressing a smile: "Yes, my lord."

Su Xuan naturally heard his smile, and when he passed by him, he glanced coldly at Liu Lixue. He was so scared that he immediately stopped laughing and said solemnly: "Yes, my lord!"

Liu Lixue has been following Su Xuan for so many years, so of course she has the ability to read people's expressions. She can tell that her master seems to be in a bad mood, perhaps because of this Miss Sang.

To be precise, it was because of her injury that the Demon King was worried for a long time.

Sandy was seriously injured, and most importantly, her mental state was shattered. For a swordsman who lost his natal sword, it was like losing his left and right arms.

Su Xuan has already left. Liu Lixue and Sang Dai both know that he should have gone to the Divine Doctor Valley again. They wonder if there are enough magical herbs and fruits in the Divine Doctor Valley that have taken hundreds of years to grow for him to pick.

Liu Lixue waved her fan and looked at Sang Dai, raised her eyebrows, and asked frivolously: "My little beauty, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Sandy nodded: "Long time no see."

The person in front of me was wearing a flamboyant red dress, with gorgeous and rich facial features, a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, and an exceptionally outstanding face.

Sandy knew his true identity, a colorful peacock. They had seen it many times. Often after she and Su Xuan had finished fighting, the peacock would slowly come to pick up its seriously injured master.

By the way, he threw a bottle of refined elixir to Sandy, and Sandy accepted them all. The elixir was not poisonous. Liu Lixue's elixir could be sold for thousands of high-quality spirit stones in the world of cultivation. It was an elixir that Sandy was absolutely reluctant to buy.

Over the years, she had stored a lot of elixirs in her Qiankun bag. Whenever she got injured in a fight during training, she would take one and then take a nap, and she would be mostly healed and could continue fighting.

But this was the first time the two met in the demon world.

"How did you become like this? It makes me sad to see you like this."

Liu Lixue waved the fan, floated to Sang Dai, and lowered his head to look at the icy beauty sitting on the couch.

The beauty is beautiful, but she is really cold. Her face is obviously very pretty, but she always has a stern expression. Over the years, Liu Lixue has had to pick up her master who was seriously injured at least dozens of times. She has also met this number one little monster in the fairy world dozens of times, but she has never seen her smile.

Liu Lixue didn't dare to sit on Su Xuan's bed, so she pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Sang Dai, saying nonchalantly, "Miss Sang, the Lord spent a lot of spirit stones to save you."

Under Sandy's gaze, he changed the subject.

Sandy still looked at him expressionlessly. Liu Lixue was not angry either. He raised his white hand and pointed at Sandy, motioning her to stretch out her hand.

Sandy extended her right wrist.

Liu Lixue's fingertips rested lightly on it.

His expression was somewhat solemn, but Sandy had rarely seen this expression on his face. Liu Lixue was the kind of person who could still laugh and joke even when he saw that his master was only breathing his last breath.

Liu Lixue suddenly said, "Your spiritual roots have been stripped away a lot, so your cultivation has stagnated over the years. Otherwise, with your talent, you would have entered the Mahayana realm long ago and would be the youngest Mahayana cultivator in the four realms. You would never have stayed in the Spiritual Transformation realm for so long. Do you know that you are poisoned?"

Sang Dai knew, of course, that it was Sect Leader Sang and Madam Shi who poisoned her. To be more precise, it was the entire Sword Sect who poisoned her, and everyone was hiding it from her.

She had encountered a bottleneck in her practice in recent years and her realm had not improved. At first, Sandy thought it was just a change in her state of mind, and thought about finding time to hone her skills in the secular world, or perhaps just go into seclusion. However, she really couldn't get away from the Sword Sect, so her practice was delayed.

It turned out that it wasn't her problem, it was the soups and medicines that were the cause.

Sandy lowered her head and said coldly, "I know."

"Why?"

"…For Shi Yao, in order to exchange my spiritual roots for her to survive."

She found it ridiculous when she mentioned this. A spiritual root is just a vein when it is peeled out. Even if it is put into the body of another person, something that does not belong to you will never belong to you. Spiritual roots also recognize their masters, so they will naturally reject the other party, and ultimately both parties will die.

In all these years in the world of cultivation, I have never heard of anyone successfully changing their spiritual roots.

The answer was within Liu Lixue's expectations. He was not too surprised, but asked, "Does Shi Yao know about this?"

Sandy was silent for a long time.

After a long time, a hoarse voice sounded: "She knows."

How could Shi Yao not know?

She has to drink blood once a month, how could she not know where the blood comes from?

Many times, it was Shi Yao who brought her the soup for stripping her spirit roots. When she saw her finish drinking the soup, Shi Yao's eyes were complicated.

Sandy lost her memory when she awakened her heavenly spiritual roots at the age of three, but Shi Yao did not lose her memory at that time. Didn’t she know that her weak body was brought from her mother’s womb and had nothing to do with Sandy?

Shi Yao knew all this, but she condoned it all. She watched in silence as Sandi protected and loved her in every way out of guilt. She condoned that the entire Sword Sect chose to sacrifice Sandi in order to save her. She condoned that Sandi was kept in the dark but still loyally became a sharp sword of the Sword Sect.

Liu Lixue: "The news of your death has spread. You died on the battlefield, and they didn't even give you a body to take."

"Miss Sang, why have you made your life so exhausting?"

For what?

Sandy also felt stupid.

She had always thought that her relatives, with whom she was closely connected, had actually been using her from the beginning to the end.

Her fellow disciples and respected senior brothers and sisters whom she risked her life to protect also teamed up to deceive her.

Sandy looked at the spiritual seal of the Sword Master on her right wrist. It had dimmed a lot because she was too weak.

She suddenly asked, "Is it possible for my golden elixir to recover?"

Liu Lixue replied: "The Lord will not let you break your golden elixir."

Sandy didn't say anything, but from what he meant, there was a chance.

She turned her palm over and tried to mobilize her spiritual power, but she could only mobilize a tiny bit of it, so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.

At that time, her golden elixir was almost shattered, but Su Xuan arrived in time to protect her golden elixir which had not been completely shattered. Now, there was a strange spiritual power lingering in her dantian, which was extremely powerful and surrounded her half-broken golden elixir. It was because of this that her golden elixir was not completely shattered.

Sandy asked, "How can I restore my golden elixir?"

Liu Lixue handed her a pill and said, "Take it first. You just had menstrual disorder and high fever, and now you are weak."

Sandy took it and ate it without hesitation.

Liu Lixue had never harmed her. Although the people around Su Xuan were cruel, they would not resort to poisoning and lived an upright life.

Seeing her take the pill, Liu Lixue breathed a sigh of relief as his mission was completed and he also received an explanation from his lord.

"Do you know about fairy velvet?"

Sang Dai nodded: "I know, there is only one heavenly-grade immortal herb in the world, and it is in the hands of my master. It can repair the golden elixir, and he originally planned to use it to help me overcome the tribulation."

But later, Ying Heng defected from the Four Realms and took the fairy wool grass away with him. Sandy never saw it again.

Liu Lixue said lightly: "The fairy silk grass can not only repair the golden elixir, but also help to fuse the spiritual roots."

Sandy's hands on the thin blanket curled up slightly, "What do you mean, what about fusing spiritual roots?"

"Spiritual roots can be separated, and if they can be separated, then there is naturally buying and selling. If a person does not awaken his spiritual roots, it does not necessarily mean that he will not be able to achieve immortality in this life. He can take out the spiritual roots of others and transplant them into his own meridians. The fairy silk grass helps to fuse spiritual roots."

Sandy's heartbeat suddenly became faster: "...You said that fairy silk grass can help fuse spiritual roots. Can spiritual roots really be replaced?"

Liu Lixue: "Of course, it has happened before. Otherwise, how do you think the fairy grass was sold out? Miss Sang, who was born with heavenly spiritual roots, may never understand in her lifetime that people without spiritual roots can only experience the five decays of heavenly beings with mortal bodies. Their desire for the path to immortality is enough to make them sacrifice everything."

Sandy thought of the book.

The book mentioned that Shi Yao somehow suddenly awakened her earth-level spiritual roots, and Sandy thought it was her destiny to be the heroine.

But if spiritual roots can really be transplanted, then is it possible that Shi Yao used someone else's spiritual roots?

Seeing her deep in thought, Liu Lixue said to herself, "In the underworld, the Ghost Market Auction will be held every ten years in a month, and the competition item is fairy silk grass."

Sandy's pupils shrank slightly: "The fairy velvet grass became extinct five hundred years ago. Only my master has one!"

"So, Miss Sang, it's obvious who the fairy velvet belongs to."

Sandy was so frightened that she started to cough softly. Liu Lixue was afraid that something might happen to her, or a fox would peel off his skin and paint a kite to play with.

He hurriedly transferred his spiritual energy to her: "Auntie, don't get excited, wait for me to explain slowly."

"In a month, the White Blade in the Underworld will be auctioned. The Lord will definitely buy the fairy velvet grass. Only it can repair your golden elixir. If you want to find out who is behind the fairy velvet grass, you must repair your meridians within this month. Otherwise, without spiritual power to protect you, the ghost energy in the White Blade will kill you."

Sandy nodded, "I know."

Liu Lixue stood up and handed her a jade bottle: "For recuperation, your mental state has fallen drastically, and you need to be nursed. As for your natal sword... the Zhiyu Sword is broken, and the master has been cultivating for a month but couldn't save it. If you rebuild your golden elixir, you can claim a new natal sword as your master."

Sandy put away the jade bottle and nodded to him, "Thank you."

When Liu Lixue was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "By the way, the demon world has been in turmoil recently. It would be better for Miss Sang not to leave the Demon Palace."

Sandy lowered her head and stroked the jade bottle in her hand.

She knew what Liu Lixue meant.

Sandy is familiar with the situation in the demon world.

There are many royal descendants in the demon world. When the previous demon king was alive, the successor he appointed was Su Xuan's elder brother, a nine-tailed fox who was inferior to Su Xuan in both talent and genius.

As a prince, Su Xuan rarely appears in public. The four realms know very little about him, only that he is a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots.

At that time, the demon world was in turmoil and power was unevenly distributed. The Nine-tailed Fox, as a royal family, only controlled one-third of the power in the demon world. Most of the military forces were controlled by the Twelve Palaces. The demon world's royal family was in danger at that time. The Twelve Palaces were good at fighting and had fought many wars with the immortal world at that time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Later, somehow, Su Xuan's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and he became the most powerful demon in the royal family of the demon world at that time. He single-handedly slaughtered all the people in the royal family who were dissatisfied with him, and took his throne by stepping on the corpses all over the ground.

Then he went to the Twelve Palaces alone and spent a whole month killing the stewards of the Twelve Palaces.

The twelve palaces merged to become the Xingque Palace. The power of the demon world was concentrated in the Xingque Palace, which was presided over by Su Xuan.

He holds the power of the entire demon world in his hands.

Even Sang Dai found this incident to be nothing short of a miracle when she heard about it. Su Xuan was just a young boy at the time, and he faced so many different realms and countless demon cultivators. No one knew what Su Xuan experienced or what he did in that month.

But after this battle, his reputation spread, and people in all realms were amazed when they mentioned Su Xuan.

After Su Xuan ascended the throne, the demon world never went to war with the fairy world again.

So this time the Demon Realm suddenly attacked the Jade Gate, the defensive gate of the Fairy Realm. The Fairy Realm deployed troops to defend as usual, but the Demon Realm's military strength increased a lot compared to before. Sandy saw many demon soldiers. The demon world provided assistance to the Demon Realm, and the entire Fairy Realm was caught off guard.

Sang Dai had been fighting on the front line for seventeen days, but she had not seen Su Xuan himself. At that time, she suddenly realized that this war was not approved by Su Xuan. It could be said that someone in the demon world took advantage of Su Xuan's seclusion and secretly sent reinforcements to the demon world to attack the fairy world without Su Xuan's permission.

As long as Su Xuan is there, he will never take the initiative to attack the fairy world, let alone form an alliance with the demon world. Su Xuan has always been incompatible with the Demon Lord Ji Cang.

Su Xuan should be busy rectifying the evil people in the demon world recently. Sang Dai can vaguely sense the protection of the Demon Palace. It is a barrier set up by a heavenly-level magic weapon combined with Su Xuan's spiritual power. It is extremely strong. He must be worried that someone will break into the Demon Palace, so he also restricts her from leaving the Demon Palace without permission.

Thinking of this, Sandy held the jade bottle tightly and asked, "Is it someone from the royal family?"

"yes."

Liu Lixue admitted.

"Can Su Xuan handle it?"

Liu Lixue smiled: "Of course, otherwise, how did Miss Sang think the Lord survive these years? He is just practicing in seclusion, which does not mean he has abdicated and let the throne pass."

Su Xuan will not let go of any person who deserves to be killed.

"Okay, I understand."

Sandy nodded in agreement.

She lowered her eyes, her illness was too obvious, and Liu Lixue found it difficult to connect her with the lone swordsman in his memory.

Although he knew it was inappropriate, Liu Lixue looked at it for a long time, opened his mouth, and all he wanted to say ended up being a sigh.

"Ms. Sang, your talent in swordsmanship is unmatched."

Therefore, no matter whether Sandy's mood has fallen or her spiritual roots have been damaged, her talent and her heavenly spiritual roots are there, and she will return to the peak of her swordsmanship sooner or later.

As long as it's Sandy, it can be done.
