A wisp of demonic energy remained within her body; it would be difficult for a cultivator not to notice it.
But how did Brother Xiao Jiu get involved with demons?
Is it the demonic energy that has been haunting him that's causing this? Did they make some kind of deal?
Has Brother Xiao Jiu gone mad? He actually made a deal with the demon!
Seeing that Qiqi had already guessed it, Huo Yusen decided not to hide it anymore.
"The Demon Chief said that you fainted because you defied the laws of Heaven and were punished by them," Huo Yusen said, while observing the little girl's expression.
When she heard the words "Chief Demon," her expression suddenly turned serious, and a look of "I knew it" flashed across her big, dark eyes.
Huo Yusen's heart skipped a beat, but he still continued, "You were seriously injured at the time, and I had no choice but to ask him to save you."
He didn't talk about the deal he made with the chieftain, trying to conceal the past.
But Qiqi had dealt with demons more than once, so she knew all too well what kind of creatures they were.
Demons are formed from the evil thoughts expelled by human nature. They are selfish and self-serving beings who will not act without self-interest. If there is not enough benefit for them, don't expect them to help people.
Moreover, this is a chief demon, a legendary figure even among demons.
"What conditions did you agree to?" Qi Qi stared directly into Huo Yusen's eyes. "Or let me ask you another question, what does he want?"
Huo Yusen paused for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes, trying to avoid the topic.
"It's nothing, just a small thing."
However, the little girl wasn't buying it at all. "Brother Xiao Jiu, you should know that I can read faces. I can tell at a glance whether you're telling the truth or lying."
Qiqi never said that she couldn't see Huo Yusen's face clearly.
He can only see a very small part, or events that are particularly important to him.
For example, the eldest brother of the Huo family is still alive.
But it's really impossible to tell whether someone is lying or not.
But that didn't stop her from saying that to trick him.
Sure enough, Huo Yusen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed with annoyance and struggle.
"He wants mine..." Huo Yusen opened and closed his mouth, but could not make a sound.
He was startled and touched his neck in confusion.
He tried to speak again, "He wants my..."
When the keyword is reached, it is inexplicably muted.
Huo Yusen was stunned.
Qi Qi Ye was stunned.
With a mix of helplessness and irritation, she ruffled her soft, frizzy hair, turning what was once neat and tidy hair with only a few stray strands sticking out into a messy head of straw.
Huo Yusen thought she was angry, so he quickly explained, "I didn't mean to keep quiet, I don't know what happened. Qiqi, don't be angry, it's me and Qiu Mo..."
It's been muted again.
Huo Yusen was at a loss and looked at Qiqi with an innocent expression.
Qiqi met his gaze with her big, dark eyes, feeling helpless but not angry.
"It's not your fault," Qi Qi sighed, "It's the restriction within your body."
"A restriction?"
"Hmm." Qiqi nodded. "I don't know the specifics either, but there's a restriction within you that only triggers when you reveal certain key information. I suspect it's related to the demon that's been bothering you. That demon is quite powerful, practically an ancestor of the Demon Ancestors, and very difficult to deal with."
If the restriction within Huo Yusen's body was planted by the Chief Demon, then things are in trouble.
"Never mind that for now."
Qiqi jumped out of bed in a flash. Her usual way of dealing with things was to temporarily put them aside and figure out a solution later. "Let me give you acupuncture first!"
Qiqi took out her acupuncture kit and prepared to begin.
Huo Yusen looked at her still pale face with concern, "Can you hold on?"
Qiqi nodded.
"Since this is the last time for Brother Jin Su, we need to use spiritual power to guide the needle energy to clear and moisten the blocked meridians in his eyes, which is quite troublesome."
The most important thing is that she forcibly merged the souls of her seventh junior sister and sixth brother across time and space, squeezing out the last bit of spiritual power from her body.
When she was clearing and nourishing Ji Jinsu's meridians, she was already exhausted from spiritual energy, and she forcibly extracted more, which is why she fainted from exhaustion after the acupuncture.
Huo Yusen's legs have already undergone acupuncture multiple times, and all the necessary spiritual energy channeling has been done; only ordinary acupuncture is needed now.
It won't be that tiring.
After a good night's sleep, she regained some of her energy.
Although the wisp of demonic energy within her body would affect her, it also provided her with a chance to survive, so it wasn't all bad.
Seeing that Qiqi remained calm even after receiving several injections, Huo Yusen finally felt relieved.
The head, which had been slightly raised to observe the little girl's complexion, finally rested on the pillow. The tense body relaxed, and the little girl felt the slight pain in her legs as the needles were inserted.
The pain became more and more pronounced, which also indicated that his leg was gradually recovering.
This filled Huo Yusen with uncontrollable joy.
Soon, the acupuncture was completed. Qiqi removed the needles, covered her mouth, and let out a big yawn.
Tears of drowsiness welled up in her eyes. Huo Yusen was about to let her sleep in her own room when Ji Chengfeng seized the opportunity to open the door and come in.
"Qibao, are you done with your work?"
Qiqi turned around, saw it was her father, gave him a dependent smile, and then nodded.
Seeing his little girl looking so listless, Ji Chengfeng felt extremely distressed.
The thought of his little girl, no matter how tired she was, always making sure to give acupuncture to the sickly kids in the family before she could rest made Ji Chengfeng want to throw that brat out a thousand times over.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it in his heart.
He still reached out and picked up his daughter with a kind expression, his movements as gentle as if he were holding a fragile treasure. "You must be exhausted. Daddy will take you back to your room to rest."
Qiqi was really exhausted.
She was completely exhausted, both physically and spiritually, all day long.
It definitely needs a proper recovery.
So when her dad was willing to hold her, Qiqi felt safe and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. "Thank you, Daddy, I love you."
Having received a wave of confessions from his young daughters, Ji Chengfeng was so happy he was practically wagging his tail in the air.
It was worth waiting so late!
Ji Chengfeng picked up Qiqi and turned to leave, giving Huo Yusen a provocative and smug look as he went.
Huo Yusen: ...
Adults these days are so childish.
He's not even as good as a five-year-old child.
When Ji Chengfeng carried Qiqi back to the room, Qiqi had already fallen asleep on the short journey.
Ji Chengfeng carefully placed Qiqi on the bed, pulled over a blanket to cover her up, and couldn't help but linger over his little girl's sleeping face before getting up and leaving.
It's very late, and he has work to do tomorrow morning.
Time to sleep, time to sleep.
