Chapter 44: Killing I ask you, if one day Mu Qing threatens Yue...
It was almost midnight and everything outside was quiet, with only the stars and the moon still twinkling.
Mu Xingchen opened the window at this moment, leaned his hands on the windowsill and began to count the stars boredly.
"Ninety-nine, one hundred, one hundred and one..."
Xiao Qi said depressedly, "You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. When will you be able to recover from this jet lag?"
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "It's impossible in this lifetime."
She loves sleeping during the day and staying up late at night. But there is a problem now. This world without electronic devices is boring.
"Tsk, I wonder what that man is doing, so boring." Mu Xingchen yawned, "Every time at this time, I miss him so much."
"You want to play with him?" Xiao Qi continued.
Mu Xingchen asked in surprise, "Of course, what else do you think?"
Xiao Qi: “…….”
Mu Xingchen tried to shout outside: "Sister Fengxue."
Fengxue sighed and flew down from the tree. She came to her window and asked helplessly, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up as she asked, "Sister Fengxue, when can I see Master Jing again?"
Fengxue didn't expect her to ask this. She was stunned: "You..."
Mu Xingchen looked at her hopefully, waiting for her answer.
"You..." Feng Xue seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Young Master..." She hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Young Master has some things to deal with recently. You can see him after you deal with them."
"Oh." Mu Xingchen said somewhat disappointedly, then she continued to ask, "How long will it take to process?"
Fengxue was having a headache at the moment. She wasn't sure when the Master's wound would heal. Looking at Mu Xingchen's shining eyes, she said anxiously, "At least a month."
"Oh." Mu Xingchen sighed, "It's been so long." She exclaimed.
Fengxue coughed lightly. How could she not know that Mu Qing was such a passionate type? She usually looked so timid, but she was so loyal to her master. No wonder her master suffered such a heavy loss.
"Well, he'll deal with it as soon as possible. I'll help you deliver your thoughts."
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up: "Then Sister Fengxue, please help me tell him that I miss him."
If Fengxue drank the water now, she would definitely choke without mercy. She was too shocked by Mu Xingchen's words.
She actually said bluntly that she wanted to be with the Lord...
Fengxue swallowed hard.
After the shock wore off, her expression gradually became complicated.
In this world, the only woman who dares to express her love for her master so openly is probably the person in front of me.
Her master has always only made people worried and frightened, and has never been missed.
Feng Xue thought about it and smiled: "Mu Qing, you are so nice."
"Ah?" Mu Xingchen was confused.
Fengxue didn't answer. She smiled more and more and said, "Go to bed early."
With a creak, the window closed, and the sound of steady breathing gradually came from the room.
A very cold pond late at night.
Qi Feng was sitting on the pond, covered in dust and looking hopeless, his hands resting weakly on his legs and trembling slightly.
When Fengxue came in and saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat and she asked, "What happened?"
Qi Feng tilted his head slightly when he heard the voice. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hahahaha, what's wrong? You ask me what's wrong?" As he said that, he tilted his head to the side.
Fengxue followed his gaze and saw countless fragments of alchemy furnaces next to the cold pool.
She curled her lips calmly, "Failed?"
Qi Feng sighed, "How can it be that easy? If it were that easy, I would become the King of Medicine."
Fengxue looked towards Hanchi.
The surface of the cold pool glowed golden under the moonlight, and underneath the golden light were bits of dark blue light. Not only on the tail, but also on the shoulders, abdomen and even the face, there was a faint blue glow. It seemed that the half-demon form could not be maintained.
"Why is it so serious? Master, are you okay?" Fengxue asked worriedly.
"What's the matter?" Li Jing said in a hoarse voice with his eyes closed.
Feng Xue was silent for a moment and then said, "Mu Qing wants me to convey something."
"What?"
"She said she missed you."
"Bang——" A loud noise sounded behind him.
Fengxue subconsciously looked behind him and saw Qi Feng falling heavily to the ground. His hands were shaking and his face looked particularly pale under the moonlight.
Fengxue turned her head and ignored him. She continued, "She asked when you can go see her."
Li Jing opened her eyes with a complicated expression. It only took a day or two for her to stop missing him. What would she do if she was so clingy in the future?
trouble.
However, even though he felt it was troublesome, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "Tell her to wait a few days."
Qi Feng sat up suddenly again. He said in disbelief, "Wait? Wait for what? Wait...wait for a few days?" He scratched his ears and repeated it uncertainly.
Fengxue frowned slightly, "I told her it would take a month."
Li Jing frowned slightly. One month?
If she waits for a month, she will definitely start to have all sorts of wild thoughts again. She will wonder if he abandoned her, or if he doesn't like her... Then she will hide in her bed alone, thinking about him and feeling sad.
Thinking of this, Li Jing felt a little uncomfortable.
He repeated in a hoarse voice, "I'll go see her in a few days and tell her not to let her have any wild thoughts. She can buy whatever she wants and do whatever she wants, but there's only one thing: no accidents or dangers."
“Boom!!!” Another loud noise sounded behind him.
Fengxue looked back again and saw Qi Feng lying on the ground again with his eyes tightly closed.
Suddenly, she began to feel some sympathy for Qi Feng.
"Yes, my lord."
"Go ahead."
After Feng Xue left, Li Jing said coldly, "Give me a few days to restore my human form."
Qi Fengsheng climbed up with no hope. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a matter of a few days. I can't cure you. If it really doesn't work, just go like this. Just don't touch her."
Li Jing looked at his black tail. The scales on it glowed dimly in the moonlight. The tip of each scale was an extremely sharp weapon that could cut through his body with just a slight scratch.
"No, she'll be scared. And it will hurt her. She won't be able to practice and won't be able to withstand my cold energy."
He seemed to automatically ignore Qi Feng's words "Don't touch her".
Qi Feng closed his eyes and said weakly, "I can't do anything. Otherwise, you can find Feng Xue and ask her to make the elixir for you."
Li Jing was silent, only emitting a faint chill.
Qi Feng shuddered twice, and suddenly, his eyes lit up and he laughed happily.
"Haha, why didn't I think of that just now!!!" He stood up excitedly, "Don't you want to heal your injury? I actually have a way!"
His smile became more and more weird.
"Speak." Li Jing said coldly.
"Hehehehe." Qi Feng couldn't help laughing, "Don't you like her? Hehehe, pick! Yin! Replenish! Yang!" In the entire cold pool, the only sound left was Qi Feng's crazy laughter.
Li Jing's forehead veins bulged, "No! She can't practice. The dual cultivation method will hurt her."
Qi Feng was choked. He shook his hands paralyzedly: "This won't work, and that won't work. So what do you want to do!!!" Then he sat down again dejectedly.
"Is there any way to let her practice?" Li Jing asked.
Qi Feng's pupils widened and his heart skipped a beat.
It’s over, he shouldn’t have mentioned that just now!!! Why the hell is he talking about absorbing Yin and replenishing Yang!!! It’s over, it’s over, he stayed up too late and his mind was not clear, why did he suddenly say that!!!
"Hmm?" Li Jing's mood gradually became low.
Qi Feng swallowed hard, a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead. He denied, "There's no way."
"Qi Feng." Li Jing said in a hoarse voice with a hint of threat.
Qi Feng's heart was pounding, "No, I can't do it even if I have it!!!"
"What's the solution?" Li Jing asked calmly.
Qi Feng held his breath, his face turning increasingly pale. After a moment, he exhaled forcefully, then sneered three times.
"Alright, if you insist on knowing, I'll tell you." His brows relaxed, and he said with a rather spoiled tone, "But if you really did that, it would prove that you're not worthy of being the king of the Yuegan tribe. If you did that, it would mean that you don't care about the life and death of your people. It would mean that you can be easily swayed by a woman. The kingdom is not important, and neither are the enemies. You decide for yourself."
Li Jing opened her eyes calmly and glanced at him. Her purple pupils were emitting a faint blue light, appearing particularly cold under the moonlight.
This glance made Qi Feng feel relieved. He knew that he would never act recklessly in important matters, nor would he be easily soft-hearted. However, Mu Qing's appearance was really unsettling.
Qi Feng asked cautiously, "Let me ask you, if Mu Qing threatens the Yuegan tribe one day, what will you do?"
Li Jing didn't even raise his eyelids. He said without hesitation, "Kill him."
Qi Feng stood up and said in a deep voice, "You can let her practice, but only if you give her your demon spirit."
Li Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said coldly: "I know."
The "Demon Soul Ferry" is a contract invented by the ancient demon tribe for human-demon love. It allows the lifespan of both the person being ferried and the one being ferried to share. If the other demon's spiritual power is strong enough, the demon soul will also greatly increase the other's spiritual power, thus creating a bond not only of life but also of cultivation. In the ancient demon tribe, this represents a form of loyalty. Once the contract is signed, the two will share life and death, and will never betray each other.
However, this method did not last long and gradually disappeared because humans enjoyed the benefits that were readily available, and the demons were deceived one after another in those years.
For the demon race, ferrying the demon spirits comes at a price. If the human race is disloyal, the demon race will be devoured by the demon spirits. If the human race encounters life-threatening danger, the demon race will die together, while the humans remain in peace.
This was an extremely unequal contract. Demon spirits were dispensable to humans, but crucial to demons.
Li Jing lowered his eyes lightly. Even if he had no cultivation, he would protect her.
