Chapter 48 Chapter 48 "What do you mean?" Li Qinglian...
"What do you mean?" Li Qinglian widened her eyes and asked curiously.
White Beard glanced at him and said, "The Sword Immortal has a grudge against him, but now he cannot take revenge on him because of the oath he swore. If he really lived here, how could the Sword Immortal not cause trouble for him?
Even if the Sword Immortal didn't cause trouble for him, with his status as the island master of Demon Dao, he would never be welcomed on Penglai Island unless the Sword Immortal stayed by his side all the time.
But why shouldn't the Sword Immortal do anything else to take care of him?
His skill of nourishing Qi is quite good.”
Whitebeard sighed and said, "If it were me, I would have lost my temper a long time ago!"
Li Qinglian smiled secretly: "So you were stabbed by him, and you lay here for a day before waking up."
Whitebeard threw the pillow at him: "How can you talk like that? Have some respect for your master! Why are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
Li Qinglian hugged the pillow and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
As he put the pillow back and patted it, he thought to himself: It seems that if the owner of the Demon Island is willing to accept the proposal to live on Penglai Island, he will either stay with the Sword Immortal forever, or be targeted by the people around him.
Although the disciples of Penglai Island did not dare to openly target the owner of a demon island, after all, they could not defeat him, but they could still exclude him secretly.
In the eyes of others, if the Demon Island Lord stays with the Sword Immortal, he will definitely be targeted by the Sword Immortal and will definitely have a hard time. The people around him don't need to go out of their way to harass him and make things difficult for themselves.
But if these two people really have a secret love, they will definitely not reject staying together, because this is exactly what they want.
As long as they stay together, there will be more time when others can't see them, and it will be easier for them to do something. What exactly they are going to do, only they themselves know.
Then why did the owner of Demon Island refuse?
Wait, if everyone thinks that the owner of the Demon Island has the ability to come and go to Penglai Island at any time, but did not come because the Sword Immortal is here and the Sword Immortal will stop him, then what if the Sword Immortal does not stop him?
Aren't they always together when no one is around?
This is easier and more convenient than going back and forth under someone else's nose.
Li Qinglian suddenly remembered that when he went to meet Li Hanshuang in the evening, he smelled a smell in Li Hanshuang's room that did not belong to Li Hanshuang, and his face changed again and again.
It seems that his previous guess was correct?
Whitebeard looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with your face? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Qinglian came back to her senses and smiled, "No, I just thought of something."
Whitebeard waved his hand and said, "Go do what you need to do. I'll rest for a while and then leave."
"Okay." Li Qinglian nodded and left.
Li Baili returned to the Demon Island, and the legs of the demon he was carrying had grown back.
The newly grown legs were trembling, and he couldn't use any strength yet, so he had to lie on the ground. However, he looked up at Li Baili and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty seems unhappy?"
Li Baili found a seat, sat down and said, "I'm not unhappy."
The demon shook his head: "But they all did that!"
Li Baihe said in a trance, "That's all."
The demon tilted his head and looked at Li Baili and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to care what they do or say, so why do you still want to go? And that Penglai Sect leader has been targeting Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is not angry, why?"
Li Baili glanced at him and said, "I don't want to fight with them. I think I said that."
The demon laughed: "Your Majesty did say that, but that was a long time ago. I thought Your Majesty had forgotten it, but I didn't expect you to bring it up again now. So it turns out that this matter has always been in Your Majesty's heart?"
Li Baili hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "I have spent so many years expanding the Demon Island to such a large size, gathering all the demons here, and having so much influence, all for this matter. Otherwise, I would not have to stay in this position."
The demon laughed and said, "Your Majesty is already in this position. I'm afraid it's too late to retreat now."
Li Baili shook her head and said nothing.
The demon asked again: "Is this matter really that important?"
Li Baili nodded.
The demon blinked and asked, "Is this also the reason why I didn't get angry with that person?"
The question was asked vaguely, as if it was encrypted.
But Li Baili understood.
That person refers to Li Hanshuang, and this matter refers to not wanting to provoke a war.
Li Baili smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Half."
"Where's the other half?" the demon asked curiously.
Li Baili thought for a moment and said slowly, "The other half, because he can beat me."
The demon nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't.
Li Baili saw the look of confusion on his face, so she picked a fruit from the tree next to her and threw it to him: "Eat something."
It was a small red fruit, no bigger than half a fist, and a little hard, but it was very sweet when you bit into it, as if it was full of sugar, so sweet that it almost made you frown.
The demon took the fruit, as if he had received a great reward from heaven, and happily held it in both hands, smiling and saying to Li Baili: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Baili waved her hand to indicate that you’re welcome.
The demon ate the fruit in small bites, secretly looking at Li Baili while doing so, as if he was afraid that Li Baili would see his rude appearance and have a bad impression of him.
In fact, the fruit can be swallowed in one bite because there is no core inside. Most of the things on the Demon Island are like this.
It grows out of the ground and can be eaten immediately, as if the hot lunch boxes were made in an underground processing factory and placed on the ground waiting for customers to take them.
Li Baili glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "I didn't feel you were so polite before."
The demon held the fruit in his hand, feeling inexplicably shy, and said with a smile: "Before there was no Your Majesty, I didn't know what to do. Now that Your Majesty is here, naturally things cannot be the same as before."
If you say he was praising Li Baili, it's not very obvious. If you say he was just responding casually, it's not necessary to say that. It's genuine and sincere.
Li Baili could understand what he meant: "Just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite. This is your home anyway."
The demon nodded, and somehow felt slightly relieved.
"What should we do next?" The demon blinked and looked at Li Baili, asking with his head tilted.
Li Baihe thought for a moment and said, "Now that the contract has just been finalized, there are probably still many people who don't believe it or are unwilling to do so. Don't run around recently and don't give them the opportunity to accuse us of violating the contract."
"Got it!" The demon nodded heavily, looking very obedient and said with a smile.
"There's a seal broken at the border," Li Qinglian frowned and said to Li Hanshuang, "This seal is relatively close to humans, so it's not easy for us to go directly over there, especially since there are guards there."
Li Hanshuang asked while wandering in his thoughts: "What should we do then?"
Li Qinglian looked at the situation and said, "I'm afraid we have to find a way to negotiate with the mortals stationed at the border."
"What do the mortals there look like?" Li Hanshuang asked when he had time.
"It looks like an ordinary human being," Li Qinglian paused, realized what he was asking, and showed him the picture, "It looks like this."
Li Hanshuang took a look and said, "I know them. I'll go talk to them."
"When did you meet?" Li Qinglian frowned, feeling suspicious.
Li Hanshuang narrowed his eyes and said in a trance: "A long time ago, before I came here."
He paused and smiled bitterly.
Li Qinglian knew from his expression that the long time ago he mentioned was the time before he broke up with Li Baili. He nodded, sighed and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Li Hanshuang nodded, entered the border, and found the wounded who had served in the army here many years ago.
His previous injuries had long since healed, leaving only a few scars, but over the years, he had many other injuries on his body, and there were very few without scars. The tattoo on his face was not that eye-catching.
When he saw Li Hanshuang, he recognized her at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he stood up and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, Master?"
He looked at Li Hanshuang, and said with a complicated expression: "Master is still as elegant as ever. He has not changed in all these years. He was like this the last time I came, but it was a long time ago. I can hardly remember it."
He paused for a moment, realizing that he had said too much. He was afraid that reminiscing about the past would make people feel irritated, so he quickly stopped talking.
Li Hanshuang stood in front of him and said calmly, "There is a seal here that is about to break. I am here to repair it. Can you notify your soldiers?"
The injured person blinked and smiled slowly: "Of course I can do that."
He paused for a moment, then asked carefully, "I just don't know what the seal is? How to fix it? What will happen if it's broken?"
He smiled and said, "I don't have to ask about these things. I know I don't understand them. But if I don't know anything myself and ask my soldiers to obey orders, it would be like playing with their lives. I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied."
He sighed: "After all, I am no longer the lonely child I was back then, and I can't just think about what I want.
If it only involved me, considering the kindness that Master had shown me in the past, my safety would naturally be disregarded, not to mention the care he had given me over the years, which I should not have asked about.
But I have so many people under my command, I can’t just ignore them.”
When he said this, a hint of guilt emerged on his face, as if he was troubled by not being able to find a balance between Li Hanshuang and the soldiers. He felt guilty that he couldn't think of a better way and could only speak like this, hurting people's feelings.
Li Hanshuang didn't think it was a big deal: "The seal of the demon who made the mistake."
