Chapter 60 The demon hunter is not the one who is getting rid of demons (20)
It is impossible to say that Baishi trusts Shisui 100%.
But she was feeling restless inside, so she just complained a few things that she thought were insignificant.
"A woman's life is so hard. They say that one should obey their father at home, their husband after marriage, and their son in old age. If only I had a son..."
"My husband is my heaven, but my father and brother are equally important to me. How could I not consider my family when it comes to certain things? Don't you agree?"
"Next year, when the three-year marriage period is up, I will have to arrange for the general to take a concubine. By then, I don't know whether I will have a good sister who can help me, or a vixen who will oppose me..."
Faced with this series of questions, Shisui did not give a direct answer.
She understood that Bai didn't care about the answer, she just needed an outlet for her emotions.
Shisui listened patiently, and then tried to persuade her as gently as possible: "Madam General, life is short. You should please yourself more often. Play the piano, paint, and relax. Don't push yourself too hard."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai sighed helplessly, "I'm not forcing myself... Playing the zither, painting, those were Princess Wenzhu's past hobbies. As a legitimate daughter, I used to think it was tragic that she remained unmarried. But now I think Princess Wenzhu has a much freer life than I do."
Huh? ?
How come Bai's ideological awareness improved so much all of a sudden?
Tokiho's ears pricked up in the desire to hear gossip.
She didn't know about Bu Yu's plan to attack Dayan City, Bai's hometown, but from Bai's attitude, Shi Sui had already caught a glimpse of the signs of discord between the couple.
It was originally a good opportunity to trick her, but it was too inhumane to trouble a pregnant woman... So Shisui did not ask any further questions.
Bai begged again, "Master Exorcist, you have great magical powers. Could you help me cast a spell and pray for the safety of my daughter and the unborn child?"
"...Performing rituals and praying for blessings is what high monks do. Exorcists can only subdue demons and monsters."
"I was reckless..."
"But I also have a treasure to give you."
Shi Sui took out three small brocade bags from her clothes and handed them to Bai.
"This is a charm I've cast for safety. You and your two children each have one. If you ever encounter danger, you can open them to save your life."
"Thank you, Master Demon Master!!"
Bai was very grateful and felt quite comforted.
Here, there are few people who would listen to her attentively and comfort her kindly like Shisui did.
Others would just repeat to her over and over again, things like "The husband is the sky, the wife is the earth", "Your husband hates you because you haven't fulfilled your duty", etc... She didn't want to listen anymore!
But Shi Sui never expected that the three peace charms she kindly gave to Bai Shi would almost lead to a murder that resulted in two deaths...
…
The city lord personally ordered the doctor to change the prescription so that Princess Wenzhu could wake up as soon as possible.
Bu Yuchuan, who had a quarrel with his father, sent troops to search the desert every day in an attempt to find the Nine Cloud Fox Demon.
But how could he find it?
Three days passed. Although Princess Wenzhu was still in a coma, her complexion gradually became rosier after changing the prescription.
The doctor predicts that Princess Wenzhu will regain consciousness in a few days or so.
"However... Lord City Lord, please forgive my bluntness, but Princess Wenzhu's pulse is weak. Even if she wakes up, she might not survive this year..."
"I understand. You can go down. You must personally formulate the formula, prepare the medicine, decoct the medicine, and deliver the medicine. No one else can do it."
"I understand!"
...When Tokiho heard the news, she finally felt relieved.
As long as Princess Wenzhu can wake up normally, the meeting between Jiuyun Fox Demon and her will be just around the corner.
Now she was being monitored day and night by several groups of people. It was impossible for her to sneak out like she did before... unless she was ready to turn against the Bu family, she could not even think about it.
However, as the general's wife and in charge of the Bu family's internal affairs, Bai Shisui was given some convenience. She did not send any servants to her room, but only sent someone to deliver meals every morning and evening so that Shisui could have some peace and quiet.
Every night, Shisui would lock all the doors and windows and hang bedding on them to block out the light.
Block... the golden light emitted from the two pairs of bright eyes of the Nine Cloud Fox Demon and her daughter Princess Xiaojin!
In order to prevent the father and daughter's magical powers from being damaged too much, Shisui would let them out of the gourd to get some fresh air when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Of course, you must be in human form.
Shi Sui first warned the nine-year-old fox demon with a fierce face: "Don't run around while I'm asleep! When the sun comes up, go back to the gourd!"
Then she rubbed Princess Xiaojin's furry little ears in a gentle voice: "Little Jin, be good and don't make any noise! I'll save some delicious food for you, so eat it carefully and don't let anyone outside see you!"
Finally, when she lowered her voice and said to the Nine Cloud Fox Demon, "Remember to keep an eye on your daughter!!", the kind smile on her face disappeared completely in an instant.
Nine Cloud Fox Demon's inner thoughts: Humans' face-changing skills are truly amazing...
That day, Shi Sui went to bed early with her clothes on, as usual.
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon sat on the ground against the wall, staring coldly at Princess Xiao Jin as she ate her food, feeling completely bored.
The night without killing and fighting is too long.
As a big monster, Jiuyun Fox Demon has never cared about age.
He didn't calculate how many days he would have to grow old, or how long it would take for his demonic power to decline...
None of that makes sense.
In the fiercely competitive desert, there is no need to wait until old age. Instead, if there is a small mistake in battle, every minute may be the last minute of his life.
But...
But why wasn't he surprised at all when Sui suddenly appeared in front of him and told him that Princess Wenzhu was dying?
Perhaps he has been secretly calculating Princess Wenzhu's life span in his subconscious mind over the years?
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon shook his head, trying to drive away these disturbing thoughts, but his sensitive ears caught the noise outside the house.
The sounds were very far away from their room, very small, but he could clearly hear someone shouting, "Call a doctor! The general's wife is bleeding!"
The Nine Cloud Fox Demon looked at Shi Sui who was sleeping soundly, hesitating whether to wake her up...
