Chapter 122 Demon Lord 122%
…
Qu Yaoyao kept the little snowman by her side and named it Axue.
Chao Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this and did not want their private time to be ruined. Seeing her busying around with the snow demon, he was thinking about how to find a reason to get rid of it.
That day, seeing the little snowman sitting alone on the steps, Chao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the jade bone fan in his hand slightly.
"Owner!"
After staying with Qu Yaoyao, the little snowman had always presented itself as a human. It was timid, likely sensing Chao Yuan's murderous aura, so its fear of him outweighed its desire for closeness, and it always preferred to cling to Qu Yaoyao.
That day, it sat obediently on the steps waiting for its owner to come back. When it heard footsteps behind it, it thought it was Qu Yaoyao coming back, so it tilted its little face up to look up.
This glance caught Chao Yuan's deep phoenix eyes, frightening her so much that her face turned pale and her smile disappeared, and she climbed up clumsily.
"Master." Axue called softly.
Chao Yuan and Qu Yaoyao are both its owners, and it distinguishes them by size.
Chao Yuan frowned when he saw its face clearly. He shouldn't call this little snowman "it" anymore. He stared at her face carefully for a few moments, then leaned over to pinch the snowman's face and said solemnly, "Female?"
"Hmm..." The little snowman was made of snow and his whole body was cold. He was frightened by Chao Yuan's behavior and started to shiver.
Her eyes, made of night-shining pearls, misted over as she nodded in panic, "I, I am."
Snowmen are genderless creatures that can choose their own gender, but they only have one chance. When the little snowman first came into their presence, she was beautiful but genderless. It wasn't until Qu Yaoyao took her in that she decided she wanted to be as gentle and kind as her master.
She had become a girl, a little girl who looked only four or five years old. Chao Yuan stared directly into the little snowman's heart, and seeing her like this, he inexplicably didn't want to kill her anymore.
She really looked like Qu Yaoyao who had just transformed, even more simple and pure than her.
"Forget it." Seeing how frightened she was, Chao Yuan let her go and stood up straight. His voice was a little softer than the cold and hard one just now. "You can stay by my side, but you have to be obedient."
"Axue will be obedient." The little snowman nodded quickly, her round eyes half curved. She was very happy to be recognized by another master.
This happiness continued until Qu Yaoyao came out with a fruit plate. Without waiting for Chao Yuan to get close, she rushed over and hugged her legs, calling softly, "Master."
"What's wrong with your chin?" Qu Yaoyao was the first to notice the red mark on the little snowman's face. It was caused by Chao Yuan pinching it too hard.
Although the little snowman was simple, he knew how to protect his master and maintain harmony between his two masters, so he whispered back, "Axue pinched it herself."
She wasn't very good at lying, and Qu Yaoyao didn't believe it. She glanced at the cold man beside her. She put down the fruit plate and squatted to look at the little snowman's face, suspiciously saying, "Why does it look like someone pinched me?"
She poked the little snowman's soft cheek and asked, "Chao Yuan bullied you, didn't he?"
The little snowman shook his head in fear and said anxiously, "No, it's not the master. The master treated me very well and allowed me to stay."
"Master, please don't blame the great master."
She did have good intentions, but she was just too stupid.
"Alright." Chao Yuan pressed his forehead, feeling a bit tired, and took the initiative to admit: "I did it. I just wanted to see her face. I didn't expect her to be so weak."
Qu Yaoyao glared at him and said, "Axue is made of snow. How strong does she have to be to be considered weak in the eyes of a phoenix like you?"
Chao Yuan was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Qu Yaoyao, "It's my fault."
His attitude was so good that Qu Yaoyao was speechless. With the little snowman's help, she looked left and right as she tugged at Qu Yaoyao's clothes. Then, she carefully grabbed Chao Yuan's clothes and said in a soft, weak voice, "The masters are all right. You are all good masters and treat Ah Xue well."
"Do you want some fruit?"
With the little snowman's gentle pull, the two of them moved closer together. The little snowman stepped out from between them, holding the fruit plate and ran away, "Axue, I'll wash the fruit for you."
Qu Yaoyao groaned and wanted to say that she had washed those, but when she saw the little snowman running away like a rabbit, she burst out laughing and just let her do what she wanted.
"Why are you looking at me?" Turning around, Qu Yaoyao saw Chao Yuan staring at her.
Chao Yuan liked to see Qu Yaoyao's smiling face. She was happy that his mood would improve with hers. With his shoulder against hers, Chao Yuan curled his lips and said, "I just think this is not bad."
"What's good?" Qu Yaoyao didn't understand Chao Yuan's riddle.
Before she could figure it out, Chao Yuan leaned over and took her into his arms, and suddenly asked, "Will you marry me?"
This wasn't the first time Chao Yuan had proposed to Qu Yaoyao. He gently placed his hand on her forehead, closed his eyelashes, and said, "Marry me. You will be my wife, and I will be your husband. From now on, you will no longer be concerned with the affairs of the immortal sects, and I will no longer be concerned with the demon world. We will stay here and let all the grudges and grievances disappear into thin air."
These were all things Chao Yuan had planned for the future long ago. Now, seeing her getting along with the little snowman, a warm feeling ran through his heart, and he had deeper thoughts.
He said, "If you think it's too boring to live with only me, then let's have another child. He might be as obedient and well-behaved as Ah Xue, or he might become naughty and noisy because of your pampering. You are too soft-hearted. If you can't handle these two brats, I will do it for you."
He was cold-hearted enough. If he had really bullied the child too badly, perhaps Qu Yaoyao would have felt bad in return and scolded him for being harsh, just like she did today. Just thinking about it made him unable to hide the smile on his handsome face.
Qu Yaoyao was stunned by what Chao Yuan said.
With just a few words, she seemed to see the warmth and peace of her future life. This was indeed what she wanted, and she was moved by it. However, when Chao Yuan uttered the word "little bastard", those images shattered into pieces. She wanted to laugh but felt a little angry.
"You call your own child a cub?"
Chao Yuan didn't care much. "If he's obedient, he's a good boy. If he's disobedient, he's a brat."
"What if it's a naughty girl? Would you be willing to deal with her?"
Chao Yuan couldn't help but think of the stupid and timid little snowman. He really didn't want to take action against such a weak little thing, but in order to establish his authority, he insisted: "Girls can't be spoiled either."
He was able to say such words at this time, but he didn't know what he would become in the future.
He was diverted by Qu Yaoyao and was forced to return to the topic and ask, "Will you marry me?"
Qu Yaoyao didn't agree immediately. She blinked and looked up at the sky above Kunlun, then said slowly, "Let me think about it."
The rift between them has not been completely repaired, and there are still many things between the two that have not been dealt with. Qu Yaoyao is moved, but she also has some resistance to marriage in her heart, mixed with some inexplicable emotions.
Chao Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly, but he soon smiled again, kissed the corner of Qu Yaoyao's lips and said, "Then think about it carefully."
At least, she didn't reject him again.
“…”
After having Axue, Qu Yaoyao felt that life in Kunlun Mountains became more colorful.
There was nothing but snow on Kunlun Mountain, so Dishu would come in regularly to deliver things. At first, it was some cold-resistant fruits and vegetables, then it was clothes and accessories, and later there were boxes of gauze curtains and beaded curtains to decorate the palace.
In terms of preferences, perhaps Qu Yaoyao and Axue are both related to ice and snow, so their tastes are surprisingly similar, and they like simple, elegant and clean things. Chao Yuan is just the opposite. As a beautiful phoenix, in addition to being keen on flashy colors, he also likes all beautiful and complicated objects.
"What style of bead curtains should I choose?" Qu Yaoyao casually hung up a box of bead curtains sent by Di Shu, and stood far away, wanting to pick one to hang in her own bedroom.
Chao Yuan lived with her and had a say in this matter. After roughly scanning all the styles, he raised his chin slightly and motioned Qu Yaoyao to look to the right, "That one is fine."
The colorful glass beads are of different colors and reflect a brilliant luster under the light.
Qu Yaoyao exclaimed, pointing to the elegant blue jade curtain next to it and said, "But I like this one."
Chao Yuan was silent. Seeing the little snowman tilting its head and touching the bead curtain, he raised an eyebrow and called the little girl over. "Axue, which one do you think is the best?"
Even if it is a little girl made of snow, she should like shiny and sparkling things, not to mention that half of his aura is still retained in Axue.
Ah Xue bit her finger, looked at the colored glass beads, then stared at the light blue jade curtain. She pointed with her small hand, "This."
"Axue likes this."
Chao Yuan followed her finger and found that she had chosen the bead curtain that Qu Yaoyao liked.
"Pfft." Qu Yaoyao couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Chao Yuan's face suddenly darken, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, adding fuel to the fire and making him unhappy. "Hey, I wanted to follow your advice this time, but you insisted that Axue choose, so let's just listen to Axue."
"Come on, Axue, give me a hand, let's go hang the bead curtain in the room."
Axue ran over obediently, perhaps sensing the evil spirit from Chao Yuan, and walked beside Qu Yaoyao's legs without looking back.
This incident somehow tickled her funny bone. Even after she finished hanging the bead curtain, Qu Yaoyao still couldn't stop laughing. She reached out and touched the smooth jade beads on the door, laughing and sighing, "It's so beautiful."
Chao Yuan appeared behind her without her noticing. As soon as Ah Xue left, he put his arms around her waist from behind and said darkly, "Is it really that funny?"
Qu Yaoyao laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She leaned over and rubbed against Chao Yuan, still angry at him, "It's funny."
Chao Yuan lowered his eyes to stare at her smiling face. Seeing her rosy cheek and bright eyes, the gloom in his heart instantly dissipated. He bit Qu Yaoyao's cheek in revenge and said coldly, "If you think it's funny, then keep laughing."
Smile more, he will be happy even if you make him angry.
Because Ah Xue always sided with Qu Yaoyao, Chao Yuan felt that the little snowman was deliberately working against him. During another selection, he asked Ah Xue to turn her back. After they each made their choices, he asked Ah Xue to choose from several items. Without much hesitation, Ah Xue made the same choice as Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yaoyao laughed again, this time even louder than last time.
Chao Yuan narrowed his eyes, placed the jade fan on the table with a clatter, beckoned Ah Xue to come closer, and asked lazily, "Are you deliberately leaning towards her?"
The little snowman shook his head and waved his hands, expressing his loyalty, saying, "Both masters, Axue, like it."
Chao Yuan was quite pleased with this and softened his tone, adding a hint of temptation, "Then why do you always side with her?"
What's wrong with helping him a few times?
Ah Xue crossed her toes, perhaps not understanding Chao Yuan's hidden meaning, so she simply replied, "Because... the one chosen by the master is more beautiful."
Qu Yaoyao fell on the table laughing, and Chao Yuan left in a huff.
.
They stayed on Kunlun Mountain for five days. On the sixth day, Tu Ling arrived with an umbrella. Before Chao Yuan could even smile, he was met with a cold question: "What are you doing here?"
Tu Ling's smile froze on his face. "Subordinate, I have something to report."
Chao Yuan glanced at Qu Yaoyao, who was selecting things with Axue in the house, and walked a little further into the corridor. "Speak."
Tu Ling knew he didn't like to dilly-dally, so he could only handle the matter in a businesslike manner. "The Wanmen Immortal Sect sent several waves of disciples to Fenyuan Palace, claiming they wanted to see Qu Yaoyao. Following the Demon Lord's orders, I locked up all of those disciples. But the other day, they got word from somewhere that you were in Kunlun Mountain and sent people over."
Chao Yuan's face turned cold, "Who leaked it?"
He was trying to prevent the Wanmen Immortal Sect from causing trouble, so his and Qu Yaoyao's visit to Kunlun Mountain was a secret, unknown to outsiders. If anyone leaked it, it could only be someone close to him.
Tu Ling lowered his head in a panic and said, "I'm checking."
"Oh?" Chao Yuan glanced at her, as if he had discovered something. He opened his folding fan and gently stroked it, calling her name for once, "Tu Ling."
He said slowly, "You should know that I cannot tolerate betrayal."
Tu Ling was so frightened that he fell to his knees. "Tu Ling swears allegiance to the Demon Lord until death."
"Yeah." Chao Yuan replied calmly, "That's best."
His relationship with Qu Yaoyao was heating up, and he couldn't tolerate those annoying people from the Wanmen Immortal Sect disturbing their peace. His eyes turned cold, and he said icily, "No matter what method you use, stop those people from entering Kunlun."
"I obey your command." Tu Ling left quietly. Before leaving, she glanced inside the palace. When she saw Qu Yaoyao's smiling face, a flash of jealousy passed through her mind.
Qu Yaoyao's senses were sharp, as if a venomous snake had entangled her ankles. She immediately turned her head to look outside the hall, but there was nothing outside. The curtains on the corridor had been untied at some point, and the crimson color swayed in the wind, shrouding the corridor in a hazy haze.
Chao Yuan's figure loomed on the corridor. Meeting Qu Yaoyao's gaze, he folded his folding fan and placed it against his lips. He quickly ordered, "Go check Tuling and send more powerful demons to guard here."
The earth hidden in the darkness disappeared very quickly.
However, people from the Wanmen Xianzong still showed up.
The people sent by Wanmen Xianzong this time are from Xingyang Sect, led by Qu Yushu. Because Mo Xuanxiao's condition is too dangerous, Gu Tianci came with him. He must see Qu Yaoyao and bring him back.
Because of Qu Yushu's identity, the big demons left here by Di Shu did not dare to use heavy hands, for fear that Qu Yushu would get into trouble if something unexpected happened. This was the brother of their future Demon Queen.
Seeing that he and Gu Tianci were about to break into the Lotus Palace, a demon wanted to kill him to stop him. Tu Ling snatched the weapon from his hand and scolded him coldly: "Qu Yushu is going to die in our hands. Do you think Qu Yaoyao will let us go?"
The demon hesitated, "If they break in, what will happen to the Demon Lord..."
"What are you afraid of?" Tu Ling pressed the wound on his arm hard, wiped the blood from his face and smiled, "We all tried our best."
