Zuan hummed in agreement: "However, some things still need to be verified first."
He then got up and started to walk outside.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Luofu also stood up. Seeing Ji Xiaoxi's hesitant expression, Zu An asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong...?"
"I..." Ji Xiaoxi's face turned red as soon as she opened her mouth, as if she was a little embarrassed and found it hard to speak.
Jiang Luofu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Let me speak for her."
Xiao Xi is too soft-hearted. No wonder Ji Dengtu is so worried about her going out. She looks like she's easy to bully.
"Xiao Xi wants to help you, but her cultivation level is not high enough, so she wants to refine some poisons to deal with demons. She needs to collect some local medicinal herbs from the demon world."
Ji Xiaoxi's face turned even redder. She thought to herself that all the older sisters were so amazing, and she was the most useless one.
Zuan chuckled: "This is a good thing, there's nothing wrong with saying it, Xiao Xi is so thoughtful."
“However, it’s a bit dangerous outside right now…” He then took out a lot of medicinal herbs from the glass pearl. “These herbs should be enough for making medicine.”
“No, that won’t work,” Ji Xiaoxi quickly waved her hand, and when she talked about her area of expertise, she seemed like a different person. “These are all medicinal herbs from our world. The poisons made from them will be fine for dealing with the creatures of our world, but they might not be effective against those demons. To deal with them, we can only adapt to local conditions and identify the medicinal properties of the local herbs so that I can develop poisons specifically for demons.”
“But the outside world is like this…” Zu’an suddenly thought of the current difficult situation. If Ji Xiaoxi’s medicine could help, that would be good. So he changed his mind and said, “I was just planning to see the Great Elder of the True Demon Clan. You can come with me and ask him if the True Demon Clan has any medicinal fields or anything like that.”
Ji Xiaoxi's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"
The other four women, however, knew what was important and didn't insist on going along, choosing instead to remain in the cave.
Some were drawing talismans, while others were cultivating, all in preparation for the impending great battle.
After leaving the cave, Zu'an asked the two women on the way, "How well are you learning the language of demons?"
"I've already learned most of it," Jiang Luofu replied.
"I'm the slowest learner," Ji Xiaoxi said, a little embarrassed.
Jiang Luofu couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xi has also worked very hard, and now she should be able to have normal conversations without any problems."
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "You guys learned it so quickly?"
You should know that they don't have any cheat codes like skill systems.
Jiang Luofu smiled faintly: "The jade slip was meant to help shorten the learning time. They were all the most talented daughters of the emperor, and they all wanted to help you as soon as possible, so they didn't stop for a moment and managed to learn the language of the demons in the shortest amount of time."
Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but add, "My aunt is also studying very hard; she's the fastest learner among us."
Zuan couldn't help but glance at her in surprise.
Feeling his gaze, Jiang Luofu blushed, and a cold and mature expression appeared on her face: "I was once your principal, after all. If you students were to surpass me, where would I put my face?"
Ji Xiaoxi muttered, "You clearly wanted to help Zu too..."
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered. For the first time ever, Jiang Luofu was both embarrassed and anxious: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"Waaah..." Ji Xiaoxi blinked in confusion. She didn't understand why her aunt didn't appreciate her speaking up for her.
While covering Ji Xiaoxi's mouth, Jiang Luofu explained to Zu An, "Don't overthink it. Given the current situation, I definitely have to do my part."
The blush on her face hadn't faded as she spoke.
Zuan found it strange that she thought I was overthinking things.
However, he soon encountered other true demons, so he couldn't say anything more.
The young true demons bowed to him, and Zuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After he left, the young true demons pointed and whispered about Jiang Luofu's retreating figure:
"That woman's legs are really amazing, and what's that on her legs? It's so beautiful."
"These look like socks from a technologically advanced civilization, I think they're called black stockings or something, they're really nice."
"I think the little girl next to me is prettier. Those white stockings and ice cream legs, I really want to show them off."
"Young master, you are truly blessed with good fortune in love."
...
Now that the women can understand the language of demons, Ji Xiaoxi blushed and felt wronged when she heard the vulgar words coming from around her, while Jiang Luofu's face was icy cold.
It doesn't matter what people say about her; over the years, she's gotten used to people talking behind her back because of her unusual way of dressing. But the fact that they had that kind of thought about Xiao Xi is surprising.
Zuan could only gently put his arm around her waist and comfort her, saying, "The world of demons is full of such vulgarities, there's no need to stoop to their level."
Feeling the warmth from the hand on her waist, Jiang Luofu's anger suddenly dissipated, replaced by a slight itch all over her body. She wanted the other person to remove their hand, but remembering her current status, she could only grit her teeth and endure it silently.
Seeing that she seemed to be on the verge of exploding, Zu'an could only try to comfort her and Ji Xiaoxi.
However, this only made Jiang Luofu more sensitive, but she had no way to express her suffering.
Fortunately, they arrived at the Grand Elder's cave dwelling soon. He had already come out to greet them upon hearing the news. He was visibly relieved to see Zu An: "It's good that you're alright, young master. I was worried that the master might do something to harm you."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the two women beside him. One was mature and aloof, the other petite and adorable. The young master's tastes were indeed wide-ranging.
“It was just luck,” Zuan said. “There are some things I need to discuss with the Grand Elder in private.”
The Grand Elder's expression turned solemn, and he turned to the side, making an inviting gesture: "Let's go to the manor for a chat."
Zuan then secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "There are some things that are inconvenient for them to hear. It just so happens that my maid is fond of alchemy, and we are currently short of some medicinal herbs..."
The elder understood and immediately said, "Normally, medicinal herbs and spirit stones in the city are controlled, but our True Demon Clan has an extraordinary status and always has some privileges. There is a small medicinal garden deep in the valley. We can let them go there and take whatever they like."
These two women are the young master's attendants, and he always brings them along when he goes out. It's clear that he likes them very much and wants to cultivate a good relationship with them, since the future of the True Demon Clan depends on the young master.
He immediately summoned a servant and led the two women to the herb garden.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxi was overjoyed. With the medicinal herbs available here, she was confident that she could concoct a poison to counteract the demons.
Zuan secretly warned the two to be careful and to contact him immediately if anything happened.
Xie Daoyun had previously created many communication talismans that could be used to issue warnings over short distances, allowing him to arrive in time.
"I'll take good care of Xiaoxi. Be careful yourself." Jiang Luofu gave him a deep look, then took Ji Xiaoxi's hand and left.
After they left, the Grand Elder asked curiously, "What important matter does the young master have to tell me?"
"The True Demon Clan is probably doomed." Zuan's first words almost scared the Grand Elder to death.
