Demon Realm School District Housing 9
"Now that Xuan Tangjin's cultivation is completely destroyed, your mastery of magic arrays is just an empty shell. You can scare them, but if it really comes down to it, you won't be able to withstand the attack at all. Once word gets out that this place is full of spiritual energy, countless demons and monsters from all over the Six Realms will come to plunder the treasure. You'll have a hard time even surviving." The system was furious.
The system said sternly with a straight face, "I'm warning you, if you die in this world, you're really dead, and you can never go back to your original world."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your concern." Xie Guijin grinned at the system.
After saying that, she ignored the system's arrogant rambling and said to Xue Linchuan, "It's late now, you should get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Xue Linchuan nodded in agreement.
Xie Guijin got up and saw the mess in the room. She sighed and was about to order the demon servants to come in and clean up, but after thinking about it, she gave up and went out to tell the demon servants not to enter the room.
She strolled back to her own yard.
The demon servant rushed over to report: "My lord, those demons refuse to enter the magic array to cultivate, and they also refuse to leave. What do you think we should do?"
"Let them stay if they want," Xie Guijin yawned, covering her mouth, and mumbled, "You all take turns guarding them, don't neglect them."
The demon servant accepted the order and left.
Xie Guijin returned to her room, changed into her nightgown, leaned against the headboard, and counted on her fingers, silently thinking: "It's already the fourth day. If I can just hold on for three more days, it will be fine. But I can't leave any hidden dangers for Biluoji and Xuantangjin."
She shook her head, feeling that her brain had stopped working, so she relaxed and slid down, intending to get a good night's sleep and think things through when her mind was clear.
Nothing was said that night, and the morning light shone through the gauze curtains onto Xie Guijin's face.
Xie Guijin shielded her eyes from the sunlight, groggily opened them, and saw someone sitting by the bed. She instinctively grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
The person reached out and grabbed the pillow, deftly dodging it.
Xie Guijin looked closely and exclaimed, "Xue Linchuan? No, Xuan Tangjin, what are you doing here?"
Before Xuan Tangjin could answer, the system exclaimed in surprise, "Overnight, he actually reshaped his demon core. This is too powerful!"
Xie Guijin was greatly surprised to hear this. She was still worried before going to bed last night. What would happen if Bi Luoji had no ability to protect herself and Xuan Tangjin's cultivation was ruined after she left in three days?
"Could it be that I slept for several years?" Xie Guijin asked the system hesitantly.
Xuan Tangjin frowned, scrutinized Xie Guijin from head to toe, and questioned, "Who are you talking to?"
"Ah, no," Xie Guijin stammered, "You've reshaped your demon core so quickly? Congratulations!"
Xuan Tangjin stared at Xie Guijin for a few seconds. Seeing Xie Guijin reveal a smile almost identical to that of Bi Luoji, he looked away and said coldly, "It's just a reconstruction; it's not stable."
Xie Guijin felt a subtle sense of unease, like when facing a top student in school and unknowingly being at Versailles. She pulled the blanket up a little and said with a forced smile, "No wonder Bai Mudan brought you back, even though you were burnt. You really are a genius. But it's not appropriate for you to come to my house so early in the morning, before I'm even awake."
"What's wrong with it?" Xuan Tangjin looked completely bewildered, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.
Xie Guijin raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Don't you even know about the proper separation of men and women?"
"You mean this? So you're human. Only humans have all those rules and regulations." Xuan Tangjin snorted lightly, "How boring."
Xie Guijin choked up, realizing once again that her way of thinking was different from that of a demon.
Demons act recklessly, surviving on instinct and having no sense of propriety or shame.
Besides, Xuan Tang Jin was Bi Luo Ji's childhood sweetheart, so it was perfectly normal for him to come and see Bi Luo Ji.
Xie Guijin rubbed her temples and thought to herself, "Never mind, anyway, this is Biluoji's dress, and the nightgown covers me up completely."
"Can Xue Linchuan hear us?" Xie Guijin stopped worrying and asked instead.
Xuan Tangjin pursed his lips and remained silent.
Xie Guijin said frankly, "I know you are wary of us, but now the four of us are in the same boat. Time is limited, so let's skip the probing and get straight to the problem, shall we?"
“He can hear me,” Xuan Tangjin said after a moment of silence, “What do you want to say?”
Xie Guijin pointed to the door and shouted, "I want you to go out. I need to change my clothes."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Tang Jin got up and walked out. It clearly felt that it had done nothing wrong, but Xie Gui Jin's intense reaction made it feel very embarrassed. It chuckled awkwardly, "You humans are such a hassle."
"Let the demon servant tell you what's been happening lately, so we can discuss countermeasures later," Xie Guijin called out to Xuan Tangjin's retreating figure.
As Xuan Tangjin stepped out of the door, the demon servants guarding outside rushed in to help Xie Guijin dress and wash up, chattering as they said, "Young Master Xuan is awake. Your Majesty can rest assured. You don't need to worry about trivial matters anymore. You can focus on making magical artifacts. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Xie Guijin gave a perfunctory reply, but suddenly felt something was amiss. Xuan Tangjin had only reshaped its demon core, and its cultivation level should be close to zero at the moment. It was still a long way from fully recovering its cultivation level, so why weren't these demon slaves worried at all?
She stepped out of the room with questions in her mind and saw Xuan Tangjin sitting with his back to her on a white jade bench in the courtyard, with fresh fruit and honey water on the white jade table next to him.
The demon servant standing beside Xuan Tangjin caught sight of Xie Guijin and exclaimed happily, "Young Master Xuan, the master has come out!"
Unlike the demon slave's joy, Xuan Tang Jin turned around and stared at Xie Gui Jin upon hearing the noise. It slowly stood up, its neck veins bulging, and its whole body was filled with murderous aura.
Upon seeing this, Xie Guijin hurriedly ordered all the demon servants to leave.
"How dare you do such a thing! Once the news leaks, it will surely cause a scramble among the six realms. What will happen to A Luo then?" In a fit of rage, Xuan Tang Jin attacked Xie Gui Jin without warning.
Xie Guijin instinctively sensed danger, but she was only human and could not react quickly. In her haste, she could only create a simple defensive formation.
Fortunately, Xuan Tangjin's cultivation level was currently low, and he managed to block it.
It was even more furious when it missed its first attack and was about to strike again, but suddenly it froze.
Xie Guijin's heart was in her throat, and she dared not breathe. While keeping a close eye on Xuan Tangjin, she used hand seals to erect layers of defensive formations.
Xuan Tangjin closed its eyes straight down, and when it opened them again, its entire aura changed.
Xie Guijin swallowed hard, her muscles tensing involuntarily, and asked nervously, "Xue Linchuan?"
“It’s me,” Xue Linchuan said with a smile.
Xie Guijin breathed a sigh of relief, but did not remove the defensive array. She asked, "What's going on? What does it want?"
“His soul was unstable. When I saw that he was going to hurt you, I took back control of your body.” Xue Linchuan answered Xie Guijin’s first question first, and then continued, “He wanted to pull your soul out of Biluoji’s body.”
"Is it sick?" Xie Guijin said angrily, "Now I am one with Biluoji. If you hurt me, Biluoji will not live either. Idiot, what an idiot."
Xie Guijin cursed a few times, then suddenly remembered to ask Xue Linchuan, "Can it hear me?"
“Okay,” Xue Linchuan said, making a fist with his left hand and coughing lightly.
“Listen up, you surnamed Xuan. I might as well not care anymore. Anyway, I can hold out for three days. Once I’m gone, you can just wait to die.” Xie Guijin put his hands on his hips and shouted, “I don’t believe that you can cultivate to the point of being able to fight against all the demons and monsters in the Six Realms in just three days.”
At this point, Xie Guijin paused for a few moments, then continued, "Never mind, Biluoji apologizes on your behalf. This will not happen again."
Xue Linchuan smiled, bent down and took a cup of honey water, handing it to Xie Guijin.
Xie Guijin drank the tea in one gulp, put down the teacup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "You heard what the demon slave said just now, what are your thoughts?"
"The most urgent matter right now is to prevent lawless elements from the Six Realms from wreaking havoc on Bi Luo Ji and the other demons in order to seize the spiritual energy of the Demon Palace," Xue Linchuan pondered. "Since this place was chosen by Bai Mudan, she must have a backup plan. Perhaps there's a bloodline inheritance technique in her demonic arts that allows Bi Luo Ji to recognize or parasitize the spiritual energy of the Demon Palace, thus at least saving her life. I wonder how the laws of the Demon Realm are. If they are good..."
Before Xue Linchuan could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly for a moment, then looked annoyed.
Xie Guijin asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master Xuan said this is the demon realm, full of spells we don't know about, making Bi Luo Ji wish she were dead, barely clinging to life." Xue Linchuan said shyly, "And those with high cultivation who don't care about such things will directly erase Bi Luo Ji's consciousness and turn her into a puppet."
"It was because I hadn't thought things through thoroughly enough," Xue Linchuan said, blaming himself.
“It’s not your fault, you’ve only just arrived,” Xie Guijin said, picking up a sweet dew-covered fruit and eating it as she spoke. “Besides, what Xuan Tangjin said was an exaggeration and not to be believed. Let him come out, and I’ll talk to him.”
Seeing that Xue Linchuan didn't move, Xie Guijin smiled and said, "It's alright, don't worry, he wouldn't dare to hurt me because of Biluoji."
“Alright,” Xue Linchuan conceded, while Xuan Tangjin, now online, glanced at him sideways and asked, “What do you want to say?”
Xie Guijin ate the fruit with gusto, and after finishing, wiped her hands clean before asking, "Do you know what happened to those demons in the Library Cave? Will they really be alright?"
"Them?" Xuan Tangjin was surprised at first, then said seriously, "We demons cultivate as we please. If you ask them to write teaching materials, they will inevitably be affected by the differences between the cultivation content in the books and their own. They will have some enlightenment. If they can seek common ground while reserving differences, they will unconsciously enter a meditative state to cultivate."
Then, Xuan Tangjin said more seriously, "But if you can't accept it in your heart, you will fall into inner demons. At best, you will fall into a coma; at worst, you will become agitated and uneasy, and engage in unconscious aggressive behavior. However, you suppressed it in time with the master-servant contract, so it should be fine."
"I see," Xie Guijin listened attentively and nodded.
Xuan Tangjin's expression softened considerably, and he asked gently, "Why are you asking this? Is it related to guarding the Demon Palace?"
"Ah, no, it's just that they're all because of me. Although the doctor said it's nothing serious, I'm still a little worried. Now that you've said that, I can finally rest assured," Xie Guijin said, waving her hand.
