Chapter 51 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (11)
Ever since the "Scorpion Demon" caused a disturbance in the city lord's house in the middle of the night, the number of patrols by soldiers in and around the Bu residence has increased significantly.
Even outside Shisui's guest room, which was originally unattended, there were now two soldiers standing there like door gods.
It is called guarding, but it is actually surveillance.
Every time Shisui went in or out, there were four eyes staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she is leaving tomorrow.
"Princess Jin, are you feeling bored being trapped in your room every day?" Shi Sui teased the little princess curled up on the bed. "Don't worry, we can leave this damn place together tomorrow. I'll take you to see the vast world outside!"
"Mua~mua~" The little princess stretched out her pink and tender hands, yelling, "Hug~hug~"
Tokiho really couldn't resist this cute little creature.
She hugged the little princess tightly, enjoying the tingling sensation her tails brought to her face when they brushed against her face.
"Then I'll reluctantly be a mother for a while. I hope you don't mind me being clumsy~" Shi Sui poked the little princess's pink face.
Although Princess Wenzhu had repeatedly warned her not to look for the Nine Cloud Fox Demon.
But Shisui had already made up her mind.
Princess Wenzhu was a rare independent-minded woman in their era of male dominance. Her ability to discern Bu Yuchuan's true nature, and her willingness to forgo a final meeting with the Nine Cloud Fox Demon for the sake of peace in the Twenty-Nine Cities of the Western Regions, clearly showed she wasn't simply a "lovesick" woman obsessed with love.
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon that such a woman likes is definitely not a brutal monster with a good appearance.
Besides, his daughter also has half the blood of the Nine Cloud Fox Demon in her body, so she has the right to meet her biological father!
Tokiho must see his true self first before deciding whether to seal him or bring him back.
Knock knock——
Someone was knocking on her door, and Bai's voice rang out: "Master Exorcist, I have brought you what you requested."
Shi Sui quickly used a magic trick on Princess Xiao Jin, turning her back into a "scorpion spirit".
Then he ran to open the door.
She had just asked Bai for some books recording the history of twenty-nine cities in the Western Regions that morning, and Bai quickly sorted them out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam General. You are pregnant and have difficulty moving. You can just let the servants do these small things. Why bother to deliver them yourself?"
"These are the most important documents in Huitou Manor. I don't feel comfortable letting the servants take them away."
"Then please sit in my room, Madam General. I'll give it back to you as soon as I've finished taking a quick look. This will help prove my innocence."
Bai was a little flustered: "Master Demon Exorcist, it's too polite to say that..."
"Rules are rules. Don't say I'm just an outsider who's only been in Huitou Village for a dozen days. Even if we're husband and wife who spend day and night together, we still have to settle accounts when the time comes."
Shi Sui had a hint of meaning, but she didn't know whether Bai Shi could understand it or not.
She flipped through the book quickly.
Ever since learning from Princess Wenzhu that Bu Yuchuan had the ambition to annex twenty-nine cities in the Western Regions, Shi Sui has consciously wanted to learn more about this.
"Each city in the Western Region shall govern itself independently. There shall be no borders, no interference, and no assistance. Anyone provoking such a move shall be punished by Heaven."
It is clearly written in history books that after the great war 300 years ago, rules were established between the two sides. There was no king among the 29 cities in the Western Regions, only mutual equality and respect.
Over the years, except for a few minor conflicts, everyone has always lived in peace.
"Ambition" is not a derogatory term. In troubled times, only with ambition can one conquer the world.
But if in a peaceful and prosperous era, Bu Yuchuan forcibly provokes an unnecessary war for his own selfish desires, the only ones who will suffer will be the vast number of innocent people.
If he is not stopped, the Western Regions will become another hell on earth.
Shi Sui put the letter away with a stern face and returned it to Bai.
Okay.
She was originally just curious about the abnormal love between humans and monsters and came here to watch the show, but as she was enjoying it, she inexplicably shouldered the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace...
Facts have proved that melons really can’t be eaten randomly.
…
The next morning, the city lord brought his army and relatives to the city gate to personally see Shi Sui off.
"Master Demon Exorcist, thank you for your hard work on this trip. Go early and come back soon. We are waiting for your good news here."
The journey to the Jinge Desert will take at least 10 days.
The city lord once offered to give her an army of 100 soldiers to accompany her for her to dispatch, but Shi Sui declined.
Taking the army deep into the monster's lair will not only fail to provide any protection, but will also likely arouse the monsters' vigilance, making them mistakenly believe that they are sent by the Twenty-Nine Cities in the Western Regions to provoke them.
Finally, Shi Sui only asked for two strong camels, one for her to ride and the other to carry food and drinking water.
She represents Princess Wenzhu, who is going to find her husband, with whom she once had a night of love, all she needs to do is go alone.
Just like the first day she came to Huitou Village, the road in front of the city gate was now lined with fully armed soldiers on both sides.
Bu Yuchuan naturally would not miss this good opportunity to demonstrate his military power.
He rode on his horse, swiftly drawing his sword from his waist, pointed it toward the sky, and shouted, "I pray that the demon slayer will return safely and swiftly! I pray that I may avenge Princess Wenzhu!"
The soldiers below followed suit and shouted loudly, "We pray that the demon slayer will return safely and quickly! We will avenge Princess Wenzhu!"
Hearing this, Shi Sui cursed in her heart.
Is it hypocritical?
Just how shameless can Bu Yuchuan be?!
Why didn't you shout so loudly when you were hiding in your room, gossiping with your wife about your aunt Princess Wenzhu being a nosy and complaining woman?!
Shisui doesn't indulge him.
As they were about to leave the city, she could take the opportunity to mock him.
Shi Sui bowed to him seriously and said, "General, the supplies we need to leave the city are very tight these days. I forgot to tell you something. I wonder if it would be convenient to do so here?"
In front of everyone, how could Bu Yuchuan refuse in order to maintain his heroic image?
He waved his hand with righteous indignation and said, "Master Demon Exorcist, please speak freely."
"Your wife is pregnant. General, are you hoping for a baby boy this time?"
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. That's natural."
"I have traveled around the world and once got a secret recipe that can make the general's wishes come true." Shi Sui blinked cunningly.
Bu Yuchuan did not suspect any trickery: "Please enlighten me, sir."
"Lespedeza bicolor, Citrus aurantium, Citrus aurantium immaturum, Aquilaria sinensis, Jasmine, Myrrh, Walnut, and Herba Lycopodii...boil them in water and take them once every day at 9:00 a.m.," Shi Sui made up a string of medicinal names.
"Thank you very much, sir." Bu Yuchuan thanked him happily, "I will ask my wife to take it according to the prescription when I get home."
"Your Excellency has misunderstood me." Shisui shook her head seriously, "This recipe is for you, Your Excellency."
"Give me……?"
"Yes, it's said in many places that the gender of a child is determined by the man's yang energy. A boy is born if the yang is full, and a girl is born if the yang is deficient. With this prescription, I believe that the general will get what he wants!"
What Shihui said was clearly a sarcastic remark to him in front of everyone, saying that he had given birth to a girl before because he had "insufficient yang energy".
Bu Yuchuan was so angry that veins popped out on his temples and his cheeks trembled slightly, but he could only stare blankly.
"The time has come. This mage will depart first. Lord City Lord, I bid you farewell!"
Shi Sui ran away after ridiculing him, with only one word in her mind: awesome!
Three words: awesome!
