Chapter 22
Yingning had 67 sense Xi Yunliu's location and then immediately went out.
*
This small city is located at the intersection of several realms, with a diverse mix of races, and is one of the battlefields of the war between immortals and demons.
However, ever since the war between immortals and demons, the immortals here have all deeply hated the demons.
Not to mention that Xi Liuyun also has horns on his head, purple eyes and black hair, making him quite eye-catching in the crowd.
On his way to the pastry shop, people pointed and whispered about him, but he didn't care much about their opinions.
Xi Yunliu just wanted to quickly buy the peach jade pastries that the woman kept saying she wanted to eat, and then immediately go back to rest and recuperate.
But,
On the way back.
He was cornered by a group of people who didn't seem very friendly.
"Look at these demons, they actually dare to swagger around in the city." A fat immortal cultivator with very small features cornered Xi Yunliu.
"Get out of the way," Xi Yunliu said coldly.
"Who are you asking to move aside?" the skinny cultivator next to him retorted. "You fiend, how dare you even show your face in the city."
Xi Yunliu looked at the group of people with a dark expression.
In the past, I would have crushed these thugs to dust.
"Hey, hey, hey, did you see his eyes? He dares to glare at us. Brothers, beat him up!" the fat immortal cultivator ordered.
A barrage of punches rained down on Xi Yunliu.
Although Xi Yunliu, who had lost her spiritual power, was still stronger than ordinary people, she was no match for four opponents, especially since there were five of them around her.
They seemed to be deliberately humiliating him, not using any magical techniques that could kill him in one strike, but simply using the most primal violence to trample him under their feet!
The peach-shaped pastry had fallen to the ground and was in a terrible state.
Xi Yunliu lay on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the legs that the group of people were kicking at him, and he could only see the peach jade pastry that had fallen to the ground like him.
The once-white pastries were now covered in dust, and one piece had been stepped on and crumbled into dust.
Xi Yunliu endured the intense pain in her body, and the wounds that had not yet fully healed reopened due to the injury.
Her glassy eyes gradually dimmed.
The pain of each punch and kick never stopped.
In their line of sight, besides the crotches of those people, there was only the broken peach jade pastry on the ground.
At this very moment,
But he inexplicably thought of:
If that woman hadn't gotten to eat the peach jade pastry...
Who knows what tricks they'll pull next...
[I kept pestering him to go buy it...]
Blood slowly trickled down his forehead, falling into the corner of his eye that should have been defiant, seemingly adding a touch of tragedy to his world.
Xi Yunliu endured the excruciating pain, her vision blurring.
I don't know if it's just my imagination...
He thought he saw a red figure.
*
After Ying Ning defeated those people with one move, she lowered her head slightly and looked at Xi Yunliu, who was lying prostrate on the ground like a withered leaf.
His pristine white robes were now stained with large patches of blood, crisscrossing his body and adorned with a few blood-red flowers.
His current state was not much better than when she first saw him at the auction house.
"Little slave?"
Xi Yunliu heard a sound coming from above.
He didn't speak, and Yingning seemed to only then notice the crumbs of pastry on the ground, instantly realizing: "Peach Jade Pastry, it's all turned into this?"
Xi Yunliu was already too weak to speak.
Besides, he didn't want to talk to Yingning; he felt he was really unlucky to have run into this woman.
Silence.
Just when he thought Yingning would leave him there to fend for himself,
A hot body lifted him up, and with some effort, he placed his right arm on her thin shoulder.
The warmth of the woman's skin slowly transferred to him through the thin fabric of her clothes.
The wounds on his body, which were already stinging, seemed to be drawing warmth from her embrace at the point where their bodies touched.
Along the way, Yingning slowly helped Xi Yunliu walk back.
Xi Yunliu was either in extreme pain or exhausted, and she couldn't quite hear what the woman next to her was muttering behind her.
However, he guessed that it was simply a pity that he didn't get to eat the peach jade pastry.
Or perhaps it's some other food.
Until the very end, the woman beside him seemed to say something:
"Next time, you'll have to buy me even better pastries."
I don't remember what she said after that.
However, Xi Yunliu only vaguely remembered that she seemed to have uttered a single word.
"Um."
*
When Xi Yunliu woke up again, she found herself half-naked on the waist, with neat gauze wrapped around her.
On one side, there was another person.
She seemed extremely tired.
Her lotus-colored arms peeked out from under her flowing dress. Her phoenix eyes, which should have been dazzling, were now tightly closed. The mark of the Burning Heaven in her eyes added a touch of allure to her stunningly beautiful face.
Xi Yunliu was stunned, and the image of the intense heat pressing against her body when she fainted flashed through her mind.
The feeling of being saved by someone for the first time in my life made my heart ache a little, as if it were being slowly filled.
He reached out as if possessed and gently stroked Yingning's cheek with his fingertips.
If she's asleep...
[She's actually quite endearing...]
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Xi Yunliu recoiled as if she had burned her hand.
Own...
What is this...?
He felt as if he had secretly done something shameful, and he cursed himself inwardly.
Am I going crazy?
Just as Xi Yunliu was struggling with the little figure in her mind, Ying Ning slowly woke up.
"You're awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"If you eat less, I won't feel uncomfortable."
Thinking back to that time, Xi Yunliu still had Taoyusu on her mind, and she was furious.
"You stingy person."
Yingning pretended to be a little angry.
"Hey you, if you can't beat someone, don't you know how to run away?"
Xi Yunliu remained silent.
Yingning spoke again: "If all else fails, you can admit defeat first, and once you find me, I'll help you beat them to a pulp!"
Since birth, Xi Yunliu had never heard of anyone offering to beat someone to a pulp for her.
It's always been others who want to get something from you, or who want to live under your protection.
He looked at the radiant woman in front of him, and from her expression, it seemed she truly intended to protect him from now on.
【never mind. 】
[If I recover my spiritual power in the future, I might spare her life.]
Taking her back to the Demon Realm as a pet might not be a bad idea.
"Why...why did you do this?" he pondered, and couldn't help but ask.
Yingning seemed to find his question strange, and said matter-of-factly, "After all, you are my slave, but I spent five thousand spirit stones to buy you back."
"If someone bullies you, then they're bullying me."
There's a saying in the mortal world...
"You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!"
Upon hearing Ying Ning's words, Xi Yunliu's face instantly changed.
