The Demon World (V)

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the night rain hangs on the eaves.

It rained lightly tonight.

Liu Lixue pushed open the door, and all she saw was darkness.

Su Xuan didn't like to see blood when he killed people, and he usually did it in the dark.

But as demons, they have a keen sense of smell, and Liu Lixue can smell the blood in the room.

He stumbled just as he entered. He silently kicked away the corpse at his feet and said helplessly, "My Lord, we have killed so many people this time. The snakes in the abyss will be exhausted. Do you want to make them into kites?"

The person sitting lazily in the chair paused for a moment and said after a long while, "Not worthy."

The demon king has principles, and not everyone can be his kite.

A certain demon likes to watch people flying kites while cracking melon seeds. He will also leisurely make himself a little wine and even release it for others to watch. Especially when he kills demons from the royal family, he will show off like this almost every time.

Life is not spared, and the same goes for dignity.

Moonlight swept in through the open door, and rain from outside blew in with it.

Su Xuan glanced at him calmly and shouted, "Thirteen."

A man in black suddenly appeared beside Liu Lixue and nodded in response, "My Lord."

Liu Lixue was always startled by Thirteen's elusive appearances. He patted his chest and scolded, "Can you walk with a little more noise?"

Thirteen ignored him and never spoke to him. Except Su Xuan, no one was worthy of his talking.

"Try to make him talk." Su Xuan stood up, took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped off a drop of blood on the back of his hand. "Let Twelve deal with the rest."

"Yes, my lord."

Thirteen nodded respectfully.

He walked forward, grabbed the dying man in the corner, and disappeared into the house in an instant while dragging him.

Liu Lixue opened her folding fan and fanned herself in shock. She glanced at Su Xuan in shock and secretly thanked herself for having known Su Xuan since childhood and had never had the intention of stabbing him in the back.

Otherwise, maybe one day, it will be him lying here.

Su Xuan was lazy and usually didn't do things himself. He would only do murders when he was 12 or 13 years old.

But this time, the royal family members stepped on a landmine accurately and touched the wrong people.

Because Su Xuan had to guard Sang Dai for the past month, he hardly left the Demon Palace and didn't make any noise. This made those who were frightened by his sudden coming out feel relieved, as they thought he couldn't take action because he had no evidence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sang Dai woke up in the morning, Su Xuan took action to kill all the people who stayed behind.

Even Liu Lixue only learned after receiving his message that her master had left the Demon Palace and taken action personally.

There were about seven or eight hundred people in this stronghold, and Su Xuan left one alive.

Of course, if that living person falls into Shisan's hands, his fate will be even worse than that of Su Xuan.

After all, a certain fox doesn't like the sight of blood, so it kills people without hesitation.

Thirteen are different.

He likes blood.

Su Xuan finally wiped the blood off his hands, but they still felt dirty, so he used his spiritual power to clean them many times, and asked, "How is she?"

Even without specifying, Liu Lixue knew who Su Xuan was referring to, and replied: "Ms. Sang did not go out today, and has been in the main hall. After you left, I checked her pulse, and her meridians are still a little disordered. I'm afraid she won't sleep well at night."

Su Xuan was silent for a long time.

After a long while, he asked in a deep voice, "Are there any more celestial flowers?"

Liu Lixue's eyes twitched: "My Lord, we have bought back all the ones available on the market. You also snatched the ones from the Divine Doctor Valley - and bought them back."

He put on a smile, fearing that Su Xuan would get angry, and said, "If we talk about the only ones left, there are only a few in the Demon Realm, but I don't know where they are scattered."

"Ask someone to check. If there is any, buy it back, regardless of the price. You can also exchange it for other immortal spiritual tools. If you can't buy it back, just steal it back."

Liu Lixue felt sorry for those people in the Demon Realm. Faced with such an unreasonable man like Su Xuan, she could only hope that those sects would be more careful and not let Su Xuan send people to take action.

Su Xuan asked again: "Are the instruments and herbs for reshaping the meridians ready?"

Liu Lixue replied: "I have found the magic herbs, but it will take a few days for the magic tools to be delivered."

"Um."

There was a long silence.

Liu Lixue stood behind Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's silver hair was scattered behind his head, and his black robe was dragging on the ground, but it was not stained with blood and was still neat and tidy.

Liu Lixue looked at it for a while, but couldn't help but say, "My Lord, Miss Sang will be fine."

Su Xuan did not respond.

Liu Lixue also knew that he would not respond, so she sighed and stopped talking.

It was not until there was a muffled thunder that Su Xuan finally moved.

He looked out the window and it was already late at night.

"It's late at night."

Liu Lixue agreed: "Yes."

Su Xuan fell silent again.

He looked up at the rain outside, which was getting heavier and heavier. It would rain for many days.

It's late at night, is she asleep?

Did you sleep well?

***

The rain was still falling outside, hitting the window with a dull sound like beads that had broken off the string.

Sandy sat on the couch beside the bed and meditated, trying to use her spiritual power while flipping through the book in her sea of ​​consciousness.

At that time, she was seriously injured on the battlefield. A voice appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness and transmitted these plots into her sea of ​​consciousness. But now that voice has disappeared, as if its purpose of appearing was just to tell her the existence of this book.

It was a book with a golden edge. The plot after Sang Dai's death was nothing more than Su Xuan coming out of seclusion to stabilize the turbulent situation in the demon world and declaring war on the fairy world. The hero Shen Ci Yu led the fairy world to fight against the demon world. In the end, Shen Ci Yu was helped by the way of heaven and killed Su Xuan, who had already cultivated to the state of transcending tribulation, under the thunder of the sky. The hero Shen Ci Yu and the heroine Shi Yao became a couple in the fairy world.

Sandy tried to flip through the pages, looking for the story about fairy velvet.

She read carefully and indeed found a description of Shi Yao awakening her spiritual roots in the part near the end.

[Shi Yao did not dare to tell Shen Ciyu that the spiritual root she awakened was stolen. Her body was too weak. The heaven-level spiritual root was transplanted into her meridians. Even with the help of the fairy grass to help merge, it could only play the role of an earth-level spiritual root. Therefore, she could only tell others that she had awakened an earth-level spiritual root.]

[Shen Ciyu has always been upright. If he knew about this, he would definitely not forgive her. So Shi Yao could only try to bury it deep in her heart. Even though she felt guilty, even though she woke up in the middle of the night with a guilty conscience, she had no choice. She loved Shen Ciyu. Only by awakening her spiritual roots could she stay with Shen Ciyu forever.]

Sandy opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes.

Her breathing was trembling and she couldn't control her breathing at all.

Heavenly spiritual root, fairy wool grass.

The attributes of spiritual roots are divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and speech. A single spiritual root is called a heavenly spiritual root, two are called mysterious spiritual roots, three are earthly spiritual roots, and four or five are called false spiritual roots. The purer the spiritual root, the faster the practice speed.

In fact, ever since the Guixu Spiritual Vein was eroded thousands of years ago, the cultivators who practiced with the help of the spiritual vein have more or less been poisoned. Most cultivators can only awaken earth-level spiritual roots or false spiritual roots. Profound-level spiritual roots are already considered a very good gift, and there are only a few heaven-level spiritual roots in the entire four realms.

There are only a few known heavenly spiritual roots.

Sang Dai of the Sword Sect, Shen Ci Yu of the Sword Sect, Master Tan Huai of the Zen Sect, the Demon King Su Xuan, the Lord of the White Blade Fu You, and the Demon Lord Ji Cang.

There is another one——

Immortal Lord Ying Heng of the Sword Sect.

Her master.

At that time, Ying Heng defected and was hunted down by the four realms. He eventually died in the demon realm and there has been no news of him since then.

Now the fairy velvet grass he carried with him appeared in Bai Ren. Shi Yao not only got the fairy velvet grass, but also got the heavenly level spiritual root.

Where did this heavenly spiritual root come from, and from whose body was it peeled off?

Spiritual roots are conscious and will automatically protect their owners. How can a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots be killed by ordinary people, or even have their spiritual roots extracted?

Unless being surrounded and killed by powerful beings, the spiritual roots cannot save themselves.

And in all these years, there is only one person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots who was surrounded and killed.

Sandy suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, her body became unstable and she fell off the couch, landing heavily on the blue bricks.

She coughed violently, vomiting large amounts of blood. The door of the demon palace was suddenly pushed open, and the man in black appeared. Before Sandy could see who was coming, he had already rushed in front of her.

"Liu Lixue!!!"

His voice was loud, with a hint of trepidation at the end.

Sandy was picked up. He had a broad figure and held the slender girl in his arms. Sandy was almost suspended in his arms.

Su Xuan put her on the couch. Perhaps he saw the blood on Sandy's collar. He forgot to pretend and showed his panic in front of Sandy without any concealment.

"Liu Lixue, get over here!"

The moment he finished speaking, a red shadow rushed in from outside.

Liu Lixue didn't even have her hair tied up, and her outer clothes were haphazardly worn, and it looked like she was called out of a dream.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" he asked blankly.

In the first half of the night, he was dragged away by his master to deal with a corpse. He had just returned to his own courtyard and fell asleep exhausted when he was called over.

A fox is now very angry, "Are you blind?"

Only then did Liu Lixue notice the blood on the blue bricks and Sang Dai sitting helplessly on the couch.

His expression changed instantly, and he pushed aside Su Xuan and came in front of Sang Dai.

It was rare that Su Xuan was not angry at his rudeness. If it were in the past, he would have kicked him out of the demon world long ago.

Liu Lixue handed her the life-saving elixir and said, "Eat it quickly!"

Sandy took it and swallowed it, but she couldn't swallow it because of her cough.

Su Xuan became anxious, so he walked forward and knelt on one knee beside the bed. He held the back of her neck with one hand to make her raise her head, and with the other hand he summoned his spiritual power to send the elixir into her through the air.

She swallowed it smoothly, her face flushed. Su Xuan put his hand on her back and patted her gently to help her calm down.

Liu Lixue looked at her extremely distressed master with a look of shock. This fox has always been good at pretending, why did he forget to pretend now?

Su Xuan noticed his gaze and kicked him angrily: "Heal! Did the demon world raise you to be the gatekeeper?"

Liu Lixue was kicked by the demon king and fell to the ground. He then got up dejectedly and took Sang Dai's pulse.

Sandy tried to say she was fine, but she was coughing and couldn't speak clearly.

Su Xuan used his spiritual power to help her suppress it, and her cough eased a lot.

After a while, Liu Lixue withdrew his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened and his life was saved.

He stood up and said, "It's nothing. She was just too emotional and her blood was surging. Please use your spiritual power to suppress her surging blood."

Su Xuan's spiritual power flowed through Sang Dai's meridians and quickly suppressed her surging blood and energy.

Liu Lixue held his forehead and said, "May I ask my Lord and Miss Sang if I can go back to sleep?"

Sang Dai's body has stabilized. She looked up at Su Xuan. One of his hands was still on her back. Through the thin clothes, the warmth of his palm was transmitted to the surface of her skin.

She called out, "Su Xuan."

Su Xuan looked at her and calmly withdrew his hand.

He did not respond, but glanced at Liu Lixue and said, "Get lost."

Liu Lixue bowed with both hands: "Okay, I'll get out of here now."

Only Su Xuan and Sang Dai were left in the room. One of them was standing, while the other was sitting. The former enemies finally faced each other in this way.

Sandy sat up straight and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. "I'm fine. I just thought of something else and got a little emotional."

Su Xuan snorted coldly: "Who cares if you are okay or not? You still have something I want. If I don't let you die, you can't die."

Sandy had grown immune to his words.

Don't listen to what Su Xuan says, listen to what he says in his heart.

She looked into those glassy eyes.

[What did Dai Dai think of? Are they the bastards from the Sword Sect? No, I have to put down the turmoil in the demon world as soon as possible and lead the troops to attack the fairy world. I will hang up the people from the Sword Sect one by one and chop them up and feed them to the dogs! ]

It's so rare that they are not strung together to fly a kite.

Sandy suddenly remembered the plot about Su Xuan in the original book.

After her death, Su Xuan came out of seclusion. At that time, the demon world was in turmoil. He quelled the turmoil with extremely cruel and powerful means, and led the demon world to attack the fairy world with tough means, mainly attacking the Sword Sect.

The Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm are divided into three sects and six schools. The Sword Sect is not the main sect, but Su Xuan almost defeated the Sword Sect to the point of disintegration.

Is it for her?

[Daidai, why are you looking at me? Does it still hurt? There are still tears on my eyelashes. What should I do? Does it really hurt? ]

[No, let's catch Liu Lixue back. We haven't found the little monster in the Divine Doctor Valley yet, so we can only rely on Liu Lixue.]

Sandy knew he was leaving.

Su Xuan pretended to shake his sleeves, lowered his head and glared at her: "I still have things to do--"

Sandy couldn't help asking, "How many things do you have? Don't you want to sleep?"

He's said it several times a day. Can't he come up with a new excuse?

Su Xuan was stunned and at a loss for a moment, then he said angrily: "When did I need you to ask about my affairs?"

[No, no, Dai Dai is caring about me! Take it back, take it back, you can’t talk like that!]

Sandy listened numbly as he cleared his throat and spoke again: "You are from the fairy world, so I naturally cannot tell you about my affairs. But it is late at night, and I should rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xuan skillfully took off his outer robe, his bony hands fell on his waist belt, and he undressed in front of Sang Dai.

But in the blink of an eye, he was only wearing a dark-colored gown, and the thin clothes could not block the scorching breath.

He casually put up the clothes he had taken off, his eyes still looking at Sandy who was sitting on the couch.

Sensing the danger, Sandy shrank back: "What do you want to do?"

Su Xuan paused as he was putting down his clothes.

He bent down and approached her, his long silver hair hanging in front of Sandy's eyes, and a cool fragrance came from her.

"Miss Sang, what do you think I want to do?" Su Xuan asked, "Isn't it said in the fairy world that the demon world and the devil world are promiscuous? Why don't you come and verify whether this is true?"

"I am at the Mahayana realm. If you practice together with me, Miss Sang's meridians may be restored quickly. What do you think?"

[So close…]

[Daidai smells so good, her eyelashes are so long, and they are so beautiful. 】

[I really want to marry her back to the Demon Palace, kiss her, hug her——]

Seeing that Su Xuan's train of thought had become hopelessly distorted, Sandy swiftly freed herself from his arms, jumped off the couch and turned her back to him.

"No need for that. Since the Demon King is busy, why don't you go and take care of the affairs of the Demon Palace? Don't let a captive like me delay your affairs."

Sandy said this with the look on her face as if she was about to chase the guest away.

Her expression was cold, but her ears were red. She didn't dare look at Su Xuan, for fear of hearing his nonsense again.

As soon as she left, Su Xuan lazily lay down on the couch.

He was too tall, and the small couch could not support him at all. His long legs were crossed on the armrests, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

After taking off his outer robe, he was left with only his inner garment, and even through the clothes one could tell that he had a broad and strong figure.

Sandy didn't turn around, but asked with her back to him, "Sir Demon King, aren't you going to rest?"

Su Xuan folded his hands behind his head, his eyes fixed on the back of a swordsman.

"This is my main hall. Where do you want me to go?"

Sandy: "...The Demon Palace is so big, why did you bring me here to live?"

"Of course I will take care of you personally, Miss Jianzong. You are a rare heavenly spiritual root in the fairy world, so I will naturally use you to exchange for my spiritual veins."

Sang Dai sighed in her heart, and she opened the pearl curtain and entered the inner hall.

The Demon Palace is very big. After all, it is where Su Xuan lives. It is gorgeous and luxurious everywhere. He has always spent money like water, so everything he wears and uses must be the best.

There was a beaded curtain in the main hall, separating the sleeping area from the living room outside. Since he took the initiative to lie down on the couch, Sandy tacitly agreed that he agreed to let her sleep in the bed. Anyway, she had been sleeping in his bed all this time.

The pearl curtain was half-covered and half-opened, and Sang Dai took off her outer coat by herself.

The hazy figure was particularly beautiful against the night-shining pearl. Su Xuan's gaze was withdrawn at once, and the whole fox was stunned. He didn't dare to look over, and his throat was hoarse as if something was stuck in it.

He couldn't see it, but he could still hear it; he could hear the rustle of her changing clothes.

Su Xuan's blood was surging. He had suppressed his estrus period for too many years. It was clearly not the right time yet, but his body felt familiarly hot. When he listened to those sounds, he felt like a fire was burning in his body, so he simply blocked his hearing and vision.

But he couldn't suppress the anger no matter what he did. Even with his spiritual power, he couldn't control it. He opened his eyes fiercely and saw someone lying down behind a pearl curtain, with only his outer robe taken off.

The bed curtain was dropped, but the demon's eyesight was very good, and he could still see a vague figure behind the curtain.

Lying on his couch, covered with his quilt.

Su Xuan cursed inwardly, stood up and walked out in a hurry.

The door opened and closed.

Sandy opened her eyes and looked through the bed curtains at the soft couch outside where a fox had just slept. His outer robe was still lying beside him, and he left wearing only his undershirt.

I should be back soon.

Su Xuan's palace was very luxurious, even the couch he lived on was inlaid with several luminous pearls, and the brocade mattress and quilt were both made of the finest silkworm silk. However, Sang Dai could not afford even a foot of it. She seldom took money from the Sword Sect, and any money she had was given to the Zhiyu Sword.

There was a faint cool fragrance of grass and trees in the nostrils. The smell of Su Xuan was very clean and pure.

But she had lived there for so long that the fragrance was mixed with her own scent, and the two auras blended together.

Sandy turned sideways and faced inward, pulling the quilt up over her.

A certain fox seemed to like her. Sandi was not a fool. Even though she had devoted all her attention to sword practice in recent years, she was not completely ignorant of matters of the heart. Her inner voice revealed Su Xuan's affection.

Su Xuan likes her.

But she didn't know it until now.
