Chapter 40 You scoundrel, return my brother's sword!
Yu Ronglan's forehead veins throbbed, and she pointed to the door, "Get out of my yard right now."
"Otherwise, you can figure it out yourself!"
Hua Xian jumped up instantly, put her hands behind her head, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
"I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now—"
When Su Yu woke up, she sat on the bed and stared blankly for a while.
Having spent so much time outdoors, enduring wind and rain, I haven't slept this soundly in a long time.
Why is he sleeping so deep inside?
Su Yu touched the outer layer of the bedding.
...Never mind, get up.
After tidying himself up, Su Yu, as usual, carried the Frost Flowing Sword and practiced swordsmanship in the empty courtyard.
Frost dances in the air, and cold light falls to the ground.
The ice crystals on the ground in the courtyard melted away silently.
"Brother, I've made breakfast."
Feng Huaijin arrived without anyone noticing, and only spoke after Su Yu stopped her sword dance.
With a smile in her eyes, Su Yu walked towards Feng Huaijin: "What delicious food is served today?"
"Today we have mushroom and vegetable congee and crab roe soup dumplings," Feng Huaijin said, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "I'm not very familiar with the kitchen here yet, and time was tight, so there were fewer options this time."
"What's wrong with that? As long as there's enough to eat, it's fine." Su Yu joked casually. "There aren't many demons in the world as lucky as me when it comes to food, so how could I be picky?"
Upon hearing this, a faint blush slowly appeared on Feng Huaijin's cheeks, and her gaze as she looked down at the road revealed a strange fervor: "If you like it, that's good."
Feng Huaijin continued walking, leading Su Yu back to his own courtyard, where tables, chairs, and food were all prepared, waiting for the guests to enjoy themselves.
Little Twelve's skills are getting better and better.
Su Yu sighed inwardly, praising Feng Huaijin lavishly as she ate.
The compliments made Feng Huaijin's red eyes sparkle, and his heart was completely immersed in an ocean of happiness.
I was so happy to be praised by my brother again.
Even for something as trivial as making food, his older brother would always praise him earnestly...
I'm so happy, my brother is so nice.
My brother loves his cooking so much; he'll probably need it from now on.
Indeed, the decision to take over the kitchen ten years ago was absolutely the right one.
After quickly finishing his own portion, Feng Huaijin watched Su Yu eat gracefully and quickly without blinking.
Perhaps because Su Yu was indeed a favored son of heaven who was meticulously raised by the Su family for the first ten years or so in this world, this demeanor in every step he took became a habit that Su Yu could not change.
Therefore, Feng Huaijin always felt that no matter what her brother did, every gesture and movement was extremely beautiful.
"Knock knock—"
Su Yu stopped drinking her porridge.
"Brother, you keep eating, I'll go check on things."
Su Yu nodded and happily fed herself another spoonful of porridge.
Who is knocking on the door?
Feng Huaijin left with a gloomy face.
Who is disturbing his precious time with his brother?
Outside the courtyard gate, Hua Xian knocked on the door and paced back and forth anxiously.
They had already inquired and learned that the two masks lived in these two adjacent courtyards. The gate to the other courtyard was wide open, clearly indicating the absence of demons; that must be the one.
So early, have they already gone out?
Yu Ronglan stood to the side with her arms crossed, frowning as she asked, "Are you really sure that... is A-Jiu's?"
Hua Xian scratched her messy red hair: "It must be! Ajiu showed me that sword, it looks exactly like that!"
"Alright, alright, we'll observe this carefully later..."
Yu Ronglan suddenly fell silent.
Hua Xian also stopped her itchy little movements and put on a serious face.
Feng Huaijin opened the door and glanced at the two demons.
Maybe he was beaten up yesterday.
"What's up?"
Yu Ronglan stepped forward and pulled Hua Xian behind him, adopting a respectful posture, and said, "We heard that you two senior brothers have moved here, so we came to see you. If there is anything we can help you with, please do as you command."
Feng Huaijin wore a gentle, fake smile as he began to close the door: "No need."
"No!" Yu Ronglan quickly grabbed the door to prevent him from closing it. "Second Senior Brother, why don't you think about it again? We're sincere!"
A look of disdain flashed in Feng Huaijin's eyes.
He slammed the door shut with even more force.
Yu Ronglan held out for a while, but finally couldn't withstand the strength of the other side, so she had to shout, "Alright, we actually have something to ask of you. Second Senior Brother, could you let us see Eldest Senior Brother? We have something important to discuss with him!"
"It's an emergency, a matter of life and death!"
The action of closing the door stopped.
Yu Ronglan was overjoyed and looked up to meet her second senior brother's dark gaze.
He slowly and deliberately chewed over the four words.
"Is it a matter of life and death?"
Her dark red eyes stared at him, as if trying to pierce through him.
"Whose life?"
It's naturally Ah Jiu's fate!
"Of course, it's your lives, you two scoundrels' lives!"
With a loud shout, a red-tasseled spear, wreathed in blazing flames, burst through the door.
"Holy crap—!"
Yu Ronglan was shocked and quickly bent over and rolled outwards to avoid the attack range.
That bastard Hua Xian told him to stay quiet, not to say anything, and not to interfere!
Hua Xian couldn't hold back any longer.
They're here to settle accounts, not to actually seek the demon. They've been dragging their feet for ages without seeing the sword; they might as well just fight.
When a fight breaks out, they'll inevitably pull out their swords.
Feng Huaijin did not move.
Thick black fog slowly spread.
When Hua Xian's flames encountered the black mist, they were instantly engulfed and swallowed up by it, without even a trace of smoke rising when the fire went out.
In Feng Huaijin's red eyes, a cruel and violent desire was struggling to awaken.
These two guys are so annoying, are they enemies?
The Yuan family forbids killing, and my brother doesn't like indiscriminate killing either.
...Beating someone half to death shouldn't be considered murder.
Hua Xian gripped the spear warily, watching him. Suddenly, a chilling sense of danger enveloped her entire body.
That red-eyed demon is definitely no good!
"Ah Jin, what happened?"
A clear, calm voice came from behind him, and someone touched his back.
Feng Huaijin was momentarily distracted, and the violent aura around him subsided. He turned to Su Yu and said gently, "I will deal with the provocation from my junior brother soon."
A junior brother is actually provoking me? Was the beating not hard enough yesterday?
Su Yu looked over in surprise.
Oh, isn't this Hua Xian and Yu Ronglan?
He knew they would definitely recognize him.
"You guys..." You recognized me yesterday, didn't you?
"You scoundrel! Give me back my brother A-Jiu's sword!"
The smile in Su Yu's eyes froze.
He glanced at the spearhead pressed against his face, then at Hua Xian, whose face was filled with grief and indignation, and at Yu Ronglan, who silently pulled out two curved swords to show his support.
Feng Huaijin stepped forward to block Su Yu, and said with a sneer, "You are not qualified to make my senior brother draw his sword."
While the two sides were exchanging barbs, Su Yu stood behind them, dazed, and touched her face.
He didn't grow up to be ugly, did he?
How could I not recognize it?
Was their bond of camaraderie for dividing the spoils really that fragile?
A fight broke out over there.
Su Yu rushed out and shouted, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Oh no, it seems like the female lead from a melodramatic soap opera is stored in the system.
No, he would stop this absurd battle in the same way his senior brother did.
He released his oppressive aura.
