In his eyes, Ah Zhu was slightly more complicated than the master Xia Xiao had seen, with many layers. She was generally bright and beautiful, with vitality on the outside, and the light inside was related to the gods, which Xia Xiao had seen. But the few strands of blood in the deepest part were like blood dripping into the water, but it was not that simple.

What he saw this time was different from the past. It was not light or dark, and Xia Xiao could not interpret it. But Xia Xiao could clearly see Ah Zhu's concern, so when he recovered, the first thing he said was:

"Did it scare you?"

"No."

Ah Zhu looked at the eye a few more times and didn't feel it was particularly scary. Anyway, she could accept it appearing on Xia Xiao. Seeing Ah Zhu's smiling and warm eyes, Xia Xiao was somehow moved. He had always been worried that Ah Zhu was scared, but she didn't seem to think so much and was just waiting for him to come back. Xia Xiao always underestimated the relationship between himself and Ah Zhu, which was actually unbreakable.

The third eye closed, Xia Xiao hugged Ah Zhu, his harder body made the latter feel safe. They hugged each other tightly for a long time, and Ah Zhu asked with tender eyes:

"You must be tired, how about a nap?"

Xia Xiao said yes softly, and Ah Zhu cleaned the floor, removed the small bed, and took out a large quilt from the cabinet. After the sheets were spread, Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu covered themselves with the quilt and fell asleep hugging each other's warmth.

It is still afternoon now. Xia Xiao didn't notice it before and thought it was night, so he fell asleep quickly. But he would sleep when he was sleepy, no matter when. Life is hard, and you still have to be nice to yourself occasionally. A little happiness and satisfaction is not only a reward and adjustment for yourself, but also a motivation to do the next thing well.

Girls generally have higher body temperatures than boys, but Ah Zhu's is more than a little higher than Xia Xiao's. She is like a small stove, warming Xia Xiao very comfortably. In early winter, hugging a small heater to sleep is simply the best thing. Xia Xiao's hand is still holding something warm and soft, and the comfortable feeling and the fragrance emanating from Ah Zhu make him indulge, and he doesn't want to wake up for the time being.

The pain he suffered in the past two days has left no scars, but it will take time to recover from his mental fatigue. Xia Xiao slept for a long time, as if he was sinking deeper and deeper into a swamp. He gradually lost the warmth in his hands, and the warmth and fragrance around him also faded away, replaced by the gradually cold surroundings and darkness.

A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded like a nightmare roaring. Xia Xiao heard a scolding coming from the dark cave, as if someone was expressing dissatisfaction with him. Xia Xiao looked over there and saw an invisible giant beast dragging a black fog all over the sky, making the already dark world a mess. The giant beast came and was right in front of Xia Xiao. He subconsciously took a half step back and listened to its scolding.

Xia Xiao couldn't hear clearly what it was cursing, he just felt it was as vicious as a curse, he felt like someone was pointing at his nose and scolding him, although he felt that the giant beast would not use its thick claws to touch the tip of his nose, he soon felt a sense of fear and timidity in his heart, making him dare not look directly at the evil before him.

It gradually stopped this behavior and started to beat Xia Xiao's body, as if to beat him into a pool of meat paste. If it wasn't in a dream, Xia Xiao would definitely start to fight back. No matter what it was, he would not fight back after being hit once. He was not a person who would take revenge, but he would not let others bully him. But this time he was in a dream, and his behavior was sometimes out of his control, so he was constantly being tortured.

“Come on!”

Xia Xiao roared around, but no one responded. He was used to this feeling and was ready to fight back. But in dreams, monsters are invincible, just like he had been drawing circles in his dreams. The more he drew, the smaller the gaps became, and the more anxious he became. When he finally woke up, he was defeated and soaked his pillow with tears.

In a daze, Xia Xiao's consciousness seemed to be interrupted, and then he woke up again, but he wanted to open his eyes but couldn't. He subconsciously wanted to escape from the dream, but the nightmare didn't agree. The arrogant and domineering nightmare pressed Xia Xiao under it, and behind the ruthless beating was a huge ambition to defeat and conquer him.

"Your body is mine!"

Xia Xiao suddenly felt that this nightmare was a collection of evil spirits, and everything it was doing was to snatch Xia Xiao's body. So, he shouted hoarsely:

"Fuck you!"

Xia Xiao's consciousness was completely awake, and he beat the shit out of that guy. When his brain stopped making noise, he continued to sleep. His whole body needed enough rest time. It was a fatigue that no amount of energy could repair. When he was in pain, Xia Xiao could still bear it, but the injuries caused by the pain would take a long time to recover.

When Xia Xiao woke up, it was difficult to open his eyelids. Every cell in his body was protesting, but he still forced his eyes open and looked into the carriage with his bright red eyes. It was empty inside, and Ah Zhu beside him was nowhere to be found. Xia Xiao wanted to open his mouth to call her name, but he couldn't open his mouth for a long time, as if it was glued shut.

After much effort, Xia Xiao finally sat up. At this time, he had forgotten the contents of his dream, but his whole body ached as if he had been beaten. When Ah Zhu came back with the porridge, he started to joke.

"Did you beat me up while I was sleeping? Why does it hurt so much?"

"The Pope said that this is normal. You were seriously injured when you were planting trees, so this happened."

"You went to see the master?"

"You've been sleeping for five days. I'm going to be so anxious if you don't come find me."

In Xia Xiao's mind, he had only slept for a few hours, and he didn't realize that five days had passed. But it didn't matter. He had already completed everything he wanted to do this month, so it wasn't a waste of time. Even if he slept for a few more days, it wouldn't be too much. He just didn't know what the outside world was like now, and whether they were still keeping a close eye on him.

Opening the window, Xia Xiao didn't know where he had walked to. There was only a grassland outside. The Goulongbang clan had no shortage of grasslands and horse thieves, but this place was far away from home and he had no interest in it. However, it was fine for the people of Yun to focus on finding him, but he couldn't take his anger out on his family. Xia Xiao wanted to go home, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, mainly because he had already advanced to Qulun and successfully planted trees.

Xia Xiao took the big bowl of porridge brought by Ah Zhu and gulped it down. It would be fine if he didn't eat anything. As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Xia Xiao felt hungry. The feeling of being hungry was not enough to make him weak and flustered. But the yearning for food was a special feeling he and Ah Zhu had developed together. It seemed that life would be less fun if he didn't eat.

"More?"

Xia Xiao shook his head and lay down naked. Ah Zhu rolled up her sleeves, raised her arm in an extremely exaggerated arc, and punched Xia Xiao on the back. The soreness of her muscles made him scream repeatedly, which made Ah Zhu laugh. While she was giving Xia Xiao a full body massage, she asked Xia Xiao if he had any discomfort.

Xia Xiao hummed a few times, and only a very long and comfortable breath came out of his mouth and nose. He was still a little worried in his dream, afraid that the evil spirit would cause trouble, but the method taught by his master was indeed effective, so he didn't have to worry too much now. As for the future, no one could predict the future, so he could only take it one step at a time.

The swollen muscles were kneaded repeatedly, and the soreness made Xia Xiao take a breath of cool air, followed by a very comfortable nasal sound. Ah Zhu listened and kneaded his back repeatedly, back and forth several times, without getting tired of it. Straightening his back, Xia Xiao sat up and stretched, and his back made a crackling sound.

A slight sweet taste with a hint of blood rose from Xia Xiao's throat to his mouth. He was stunned and dazed, thinking of his dream, and then pulled Ah Zhu to find his master.

"Where are you going?"

"Ask something."

Xia Xiao told Qing Xunzi everything about his dream, and the latter laughed and said:

"You are too sensitive, little brat. There are many reasons for dreaming, so I won't go into detail. But the demonic energy is a small threat to you now. You only need to pay attention to three points."

Qing Xunzi looked at Xia Xiao meaningfully, hoping that he would remember it. Xia Xiao said that he would definitely remember it, and his attitude was particularly serious.

"First, demonic energy is generated by killing living beings and desire. It's okay if you generate it yourself, but don't accept the demonic energy of others, because it is not like pure vital energy that everyone can absorb. It is highly subjective and even carries the consciousness of the subject. If you absorb the demonic energy of others, you may be controlled."

Xia Xiao felt scared after hearing this. Fortunately, Hei Huang had no bad intentions towards him at that time, otherwise he would be finished if he really wanted to control him. When Xia Xiao thought of Hei Huang, he remembered the pipeline that he had built. Now that they were far away, it was still okay. If they were close, wouldn't they be in trouble? Xia Xiao would look for her when he went to Yun Country. Now he told his master about the pipeline that he and Hei Huang had built in Yun Country, hoping that he would cut it off.

Before Qingxunzi could say anything, Ah Zhu looked at Xia Xiao with tears in her eyes. She knew that Xia Xiao was injured, and she also knew that it was not easy for him to rush to the Wang family in Yunguo at great risk, but she didn't expect Xia Xiao to do such a thing. She hugged Xia Xiao's arm tightly and whispered that he had worked hard, but Xia Xiao just smiled slightly, as if everything he did was right and there was no need for this.

The wife has been passive, so whoever doesn't take action is still a man? Not to mention in Yun Country, Xia Xiao will do it no matter where he is! But Qing Xunzi looked at them and coughed twice, saying unhappily:

"It's really inappropriate for the occasion. What will happen if outsiders see it?"

"There are no outsiders here!"

Xia Xiao was smooth-talking and begged his master for help once again, but Qing Xunzi just sat there, with some disdain in his words.

"I cut off your channel connection a long time ago, since you didn't notice it."

The scene was a bit awkward. Xia Xiao scratched his head and laughed. Heihuang was too far away and he really couldn't sense it.

"What a delay! It's time to talk about the second point!"

Qingxunzi became serious and said:

"Don't use the magic energy to control a dying corpse and make it into a puppet, because the magic energy is attracted to the energy of living beings. If you do that, you won't be able to sense the magic energy, and it will remain in the corpse and can't be retrieved. If you're not careful, you'll make a big mistake. Any smart person can find your whereabouts through the magic energy in the energy of living beings."

"When you go to Yun Country or escape from Yun Country in the future, remember not to leave any clues behind."

"What else, Master?"

Xia Xiao felt that he would not make puppets out of idleness, he did not have that hobby, but the third point of attention was also the most important.

"Third, you can't neglect the cultivation of vital energy, and use the demonic energy as little as possible. You can use it as your trump card and do something through its suppression of vital energy, but remember not to confuse it with vital energy. One is an innate existence that all things have, and the other is produced by oneself. There is still a big difference."
