As the sun gradually set, it dyed the sky crimson. The nights in the cultivation world seemed no different from those in the mortal realm.
Snatching the last dried fruit from the boy's hand, Luo Jiu smiled contentedly, completely ignoring the boy's pitiful, puppy-like eyes.
Luo Jiu stood up, looked around, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
What kind of place is this?! How am I supposed to get back?!
Where is this place?
"have no idea."
Luo Jiu turned her head and looked at him, her eyes flashing with ill intent. She clenched the paper bag tightly in her hand, and when she opened her hand again, the brown paper bag had turned into powder and disappeared into the air.
"..."
"snort."
The demon youth swallowed hard, cautiously following behind Luo Jiu. His large, wet eyes were fixed on Luo Jiu, and his fair hand reached out several times, hesitated for a moment, and finally fell to the ground.
"Sister, please don't ignore me."
“My people all say that angry girls get wrinkles and aren’t cute at all…”
"Shut up!"
Luo Jiu turned around and said fiercely.
This child, does he even know how to talk? The world would be a better place if you didn't speak.
"hey-hey."
This boy was naturally outgoing; seeing that Luo Jiu was willing to talk to him, he quickly reached out and grabbed Luo Jiu's sleeve. Like a little tail, he couldn't shake it off.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. I have never seen a girl more beautiful than you."
Having been single for over a decade, Luo Jiu thought she was immune to such compliments and flattery, but she was still embarrassed by this boy's clueless antics.
"Sister, your face is red."
Luo Jiu: "..."
"Sister, you're so cute! You're so adorable, I wish I hadn't secretly teased you... Ah Bai likes you so much!"
"??"
Luo Jiu's eyes flashed. "What did you say?"
"At once……"
The little demon lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake.
"I know you're Luo Jiu, and that you were stolen by Immortal Venerable Yanze. I just wanted to play a trick on you and see what's so special about you..."
Luo Jiu: "...That's it?"
Speechless...
"Did you notice anything special about it?"
Luo Jiu smiled, as if she wanted to drown people in her smile, leaving them unable to extricate themselves.
But the boy who called himself Xiaobai trembled slightly and gave a fawning smile:
"Sister is the best! Immortal Venerable Yanze snatched her back; he's found a great treasure!"
Luo Jiu: "..."
The boy held Luo Jiu's hand unilaterally, his steps light and quick, the fox tail behind him swinging casually, making one want to stroke it a couple of times.
A wicked smile flashed in Luo Jiu's eyes, and she couldn't resist reaching her hand towards his ear.
This is a fox-like boy...
This involuntarily reminded her of the fox in the cave who always referred to itself as "I." She wondered if this ear was as soft as that fox's...
The fluffy fox ears slowly turned red under Luo Jiu's touch, trembling and becoming even more adorable.
The boy's eyes were moist, full of innocence.
This is probably why she's softened her heart time and time again. She probably could never be ruthless towards a creature like a fox.
The last rays of the setting sun cast long, intertwined shadows of the two, like an inseparable couple.
Luo Jiu was preoccupied with when she could finally leave, completely oblivious to the strange glint in the boy's eyes.
This person is so cute...
It makes one want to crush her beauty mercilessly, to make her just like him, just as filthy!
so……
Then I can have her forever...
...
It was already midnight when Luo Jiu returned to Qingyun Peak.
The Snowfall Abode was quiet, except for that small tree that emitted a faint light.
"You're finally back."
A cold, icy voice came from ahead, startling Luo Jiu.
The giant eagle, with its black wings, was perfectly concealed in the darkness, while its golden eyes gleamed faintly in the night, making it quite frightening at first glance.
What are you doing here?
Luo Jiu was puzzled. She had only taken two steps forward when she was bitten by the giant eagle and instantly suspended in mid-air above the ground.
"Ahhh..."
"Don't make a sound."
The large black eagle slightly opened its mouth and made a sound. But its mouth unexpectedly clamped onto Luo Jiu's collar. With that sound, Luo Jiu felt as if she were about to plummet from the sky, instantly being reduced to nothingness.
Luo Jiu: "..."
What's wrong with that black eagle!
Luo Jiu wanted to cry but couldn't, and couldn't even make a sound.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at a small cabin deep in the bamboo forest.
"The master is in very bad condition. Go and take care of him."
Luo Jiu didn't know how to respond to Black Eagle's words.
After a long silence, the two stared at each other, as if they were competing.
“Your master doesn’t want me to go. He chased me away yesterday.”
After Luo Jiu finished speaking, she made a move to leave.
The black eagle's long wings instantly blocked her way.
That was yesterday.
"I……"
Luo Jiu wanted to retort, but the black eagle easily flapped its wings, and instantly a deep scratch appeared on the ground in front of Luo Jiu's feet.
Luo Jiu: "..."
Waaaaah, being good at fighting is amazing!
Your master bullied me, and now you're even bullying me, you little demon!
...
Luo Jiu was forced in; the black eagle stood guard outside the door and wouldn't let her leave no matter what she said.
Yan Ze's condition seemed even more serious than last time; his face was flushed an abnormally, as if he were about to be cooked.
Luo Jiu had no choice but to touch his forehead to check how high his fever was.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ze grabbed her tightly.
Luo Jiu's hand trembled slightly, somewhat incredulous.
Her gaze shifted and met Yan Ze's eyes.
Luo Jiu: "..."
He frowned, as if he were resisting physical pain, but the hands that gripped her were unusually strong, not at all like someone suffering from illness.
What are you doing here?!
"I..." was caught by your beloved pet...
Before Luo Jiu could speak, Yan Ze appeared to be in excruciating pain, letting out soft moans as cold sweat beaded on his forehead and slowly trickled into his long, dark hair.
Even so, he did not loosen his grip on Luo Jiu's hand; instead, he tightened his grip even more.
Looking at Yan Ze like this, Luo Jiu felt a pang of pity. Who would have thought that Yan Ze, known as the number one cultivator in the world, would have to endure such suffering behind the scenes?
She sighed and reached out her other hand to cover Yan Ze's chest.
A warm green light emerged from her hand and finally slowly fell into Yan Ze's chest.
By the time he finally calmed down, Luo Jiu was covered in sweat.
Originally, I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect that my spiritual power could actually soothe Yan Ze.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn't manage it.
Looking at their tightly clasped wrists, Luo Jiu fell into deep suspicion.
