Song Qi ate very elegantly and slowly; she wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Eat quickly, this might be your last meal." The person standing beside Song Qi swallowed hard, and finally spoke, somewhat annoyed.
Song Qi smiled and gave him a look: "Oh."
I got even angrier.
Song Qi definitely couldn't finish all these dishes, but because they tasted good, she ate more than half of them, which surprised the two people watching.
God knows how much each of the women they knew ate; they practically ate every single grain of rice they could find.
After finishing his food, Song Qi tossed it aside and asked, "So, what exactly does Ji Xuan want to do by locking me up here?"
"What are you doing? Why don't you guess?" Ji Xuan walked in, wearing a different outfit that looked rather flashy. Most people couldn't pull off this kind of clothing, but it looked great on Ji Xuan.
"I don't think my master will care about me, so why don't you let me go?"
“If he doesn’t want you, you can stay. You happen to be very much to my liking. How about becoming my Demon Queen?” Ji Xuan looked at Song Qi with a smile.
Demon Queen? What a strange title.
Song Qi didn't refuse directly, but gave Ji Xuan a look: "Have you heard the saying 'A teacher for a day is a father for life'? Do you want to call Lu Yuhuai 'father'?"
Ji Xuan's expression changed, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back by Song Qi's words.
"Ha, no wonder he's his disciple, so eloquent."
“I’ve always been very eloquent,” Song Qi said, looking at Ji Xuan. “I’ve heard that the demons eat very precious things. If I eat like this every day, do you think I’ll eat you out of house and home?”
Ji Xuan glanced at the table, which Song Qi had almost completely devoured: "We can let you go hungry."
"Tsk, think about it, if word got out that I was starved to death by the demons, would you be ashamed or would I be more ashamed?" Song Qi shook his head.
Ji Xuan stared at Song Qi for a few seconds, then smiled, got up, and walked out.
In the following days, Song Qi did not see Ji Xuan again.
She was pampered with good food and drink every day, and no one ever cared whether any weird stuff was added to her food.
The day Lu Yu arrived, the weather wasn't very good; the howling wind drowned out the screams of the crowd.
When Song Qi heard the noise and opened the window, he saw Lu Yuhuai fighting with Ji Xuan in the sky.
On one hand, the Demon Realm makes it easier for Ji Xuan to accumulate energy, while Lu Yuhuai is restricted. On the other hand, Lu Yuhuai is fighting on someone else's territory, so he is more unrestrained and can destroy as much as he can.
She looked up, her face stinging from the wind.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qingyuan Sword circled around, killed the guards at the door, and smashed the door open.
"Hmph, in the end I still had to come and save you." Qingyuan looked Song Qi up and down. "You're actually alright and living so well."
Song Qi smirked: "Their purpose in capturing me was to lure Master to the Demon Realm. They've already achieved their goal. Tell Master to leave; he can't defeat Ji Xuan here."
"How is that possible?"
“Why not?” Song Qi stepped directly onto the sword; she absolutely could not be mistaken for a spy.
Although Song Qi had never learned sword control, the Qingyuan Sword, being a sword with its own consciousness, made it easy for her to fly.
"Are you sure? Aren't you afraid something will happen?" Qingyuan felt a sense of fear from the aura over there and didn't really want to get closer.
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
The Azure Abyss Sword charged forward.
Song Qi, with a strength he didn't know where he got from, dragged Lu Yuhuai onto his sword as he passed by.
"Quick, Master, teleport! Let's run!" Song Qi shouted.
Lu Yuhuai: ...
Lu Yuhuai didn't speak, but simply controlled the Qingyuan Sword to avoid Ji Xuan's attack.
"Master, you can't beat him here, Qingyuan, run!"
As a divine sword, although running away doesn't quite fit its name, it still managed to escape.
When faced with the choice of survival, running away is the most natural thing to do.
The Azure Abyss Sword was incredibly fast, and it could dodge Ji Xuan's attacks while flying.
Song Qi was holding onto Lu Yuhuai's arm, and Lu Yuhuai's body was not on the sword; he was hanging outside, which looked quite comical.
System NZ: I've never seen a female lead who's so good at saving trouble.
She didn't even need to lower her head to know that this person's expression was very unpleasant.
“Master, I know you care about your reputation. Don’t worry, when we get back, just say that I forced you to leave.”
Lu Yuhuai remained silent, glanced back, and casually slapped Ji Xuan twice, indirectly widening the distance between them and Ji Xuan.
Once they left the demon realm, Lu Yuhuai shook off Song Qi's hand, stood on his sword, and resumed his demeanor as the leader of the Green Mountain Sect, his face still somewhat dark.
“So when we go back, we can say that Master successfully brought me out of here.” Song Qi glanced at Lu Yuhuai’s expression.
Lu Yuhuai didn't want to speak, but gave Song Qi a look.
Although he knew very well that he couldn't beat Ji Xuan in that situation, it still felt a little awkward to have his disciple point it out.
Song Qi returned unharmed, receiving many scrutinizing glances.
She pretended not to see it.
"Master, Ji Xuan just wants to force you to go there."
"I know." Lu Yuhuai stopped in his tracks, expressionless. "Is it too late for me to expel you from the sect now?"
Song Qi gave a kind smile.
"I don't mind letting the whole world know how Master got back just now," Song Qi said with a smile, and then left.
Lu Yuhuai: These days, none of the younger generation are any good.
Song Qi returned to her room.
Luo Shuyun was also in the room, and she looked much more haggard.
"Yaoyao!" Luo Shuyun immediately stood up when she saw Song Qi come in. "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Song Qi looked at Luo Shuyun's face and frowned. "How come you've lost so much weight all of a sudden? I was gone for a few days?"
Luo Shuyun pursed her lips: "It's all my fault. I didn't even notice you were taken away when you were right next to me."
Song Qi pinched Luo Shuyun's face and had to admit that the feel was much worse. "The other party is someone who is almost able to ascend. It's normal that we can't detect it because our cultivation is so low."
"Are you really okay? You're not lying to me?"
“I’ve gained weight.” Song Qi pulled Luo Shuyun’s hand and placed it on her stomach. “Look, it’s gotten quite thicker, hasn’t it?”
Luo Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You scared me to death. I've heard a lot about Ji Xuan lately. He's a madman."
"Yeah, it's okay, I'm back." Song Qi reached out and hugged Luo Shuyun, nuzzling her.
"Will they come looking for you again?" Luo Shuyun ruffled Song Qi's hair.
"I don't know, but probably." Song Qi thought of the way Ji Xuan and Lu Yuhuai fought, and then of the system's sarcastic tone.
Luo Shuyun let go of Song Qi and pulled her outside: "Let's go back now, I'll take you to find the sect leader."
When they entered Lu Yuhuai's tent, the other person's expression was still unpleasant, and he was holding something in his hand.
"Master, let's go back."
Lu Yuhuai didn't say anything, but simply tossed the things in his hand to Song Qi.
Song Qi took the letter, opened it, and glanced at it. It was a challenge letter from Ji Xuan.
“Our decision to leave directly this time probably upset him.” Lu Yuhuai leaned back in his chair, looking at Song Qi. “So what do you think we should do? After all, you were the one who pulled me away.”
Song Qi thought for a moment and said, "From my perspective, I still hope you ignore him. If anything happens to you, I'll be in trouble."
Lu Yuhuai gave Song Qi a look and tapped the table; he really didn't want to agree either.
"However, Master, do you and Lu Yuhuai have some personal grudge?" As a female lead whose plot had already been cut countless times, Song Qi decided to add a little more plot.
Lu Yuhuai paused, not looking at Song Qi, his tone colder than ever before: "This is not something you should concern yourself with."
Song Qi raised an eyebrow: "So..."
"So, I'll still fight him. If anything happens, take care of yourself."
Song Qi: I always have this feeling that I can't escape that damn bullshit plot.
"Do you have any get-out-of-jail-free card or something? Like, if someone frames me, I can hold out until you wake up or something."
"You think I'll lose?" Lu Yuhuai sat up straight and looked at Song Qi. "You're on Ji Xuan's side?"
Song Qi: What kind of kindergarten is this?
"It's just good to be prepared. It would be best if Master wins, but if he loses..." Song Qi paused for a few seconds, "Judging from Ji Xuan's reaction this time, he must have come prepared. How confident is Master?"
Lu Yuhuai looked into Song Qi's eyes: "Are you really only twelve years old?"
Although he hadn't spent much time with children, he could imagine what a twelve-year-old should be like.
He found it strange when Fengtuo and she started fighting.
How could two twelve or thirteen-year-old children possibly harbor such deep hatred for each other?
"If I'm not twelve, how old would Master think I am?" Song Qi asked with a smile, without directly answering Lu Yuhuai's question.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Lu Yuhuai took out a jade pendant and placed it on the table: "This is the sect leader's token. If something happens to me... I don't know if I can protect you."
"Is this to protect me?" Song Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at the jade pendant. This was clearly a hot potato, but considering that Lu Yuhuai wouldn't die, she thought for a few seconds and accepted it.
“I have quite a few enemies.” Lu Yuhuai looked at Song Qi and smiled.
