Chapter 46 Why can't he be a beast?
Su Yu took out a dark red hairband.
This was something Su Yu painstakingly improved her weapon-refining skills and managed to do without Feng Huaijin's knowledge.
He had a stroke of good luck, and with his spiritual power approaching the late stage of the Integration Realm, he was able to forge such a mid-grade Earth-rank second-class magic weapon.
Its defensive effect should be quite good; it can barely block attacks from the fusion stage.
Su Yu originally wanted to make it a pale yellow color, since the colors for children should be more vibrant.
However, seeing that Feng Huaijin was growing bigger and bigger, he didn't quite match the color, so Su Yu had to change the color to a dark red that matched his eyes. The hairband was embroidered with various dark gold patterns, which were actually various runes that Su Yu had incorporated, and they had quite a few functions.
Seeing Feng Huaijin's eyes widen in surprise, Su Yu was even more satisfied with her work.
"Shall I put it on you and let you try it on?"
"Okay, thank you, brother." Feng Huaijin's aura softened instantly, and Su Yu led him to sit down at the standard dressing table in the bedroom.
He carefully removed the silver hairband that was originally tied on his wrist and wrapped it around his wrist properly.
Su Yu gathered Feng Huaijin's loose black hair and tied it into a high ponytail with this dark red hairband.
Feng Huaijin has a lot of hair, and her long hair, tied up, falls loosely, showing a youthful and vigorous spirit.
Su Yu placed her hands on his shoulders, leaned down to look at the mirror on the stage, examined herself for a moment, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, it suits you quite well."
"Oh, by the way, give me your silver hairband first, I'll return it to you in a few days."
"I'll upgrade its level."
Feng Huaijin readily agreed, even happily: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, brother."
He deftly untied the silver hairband that he had carefully wrapped around his wrist like a precious treasure and handed it to Su Yu.
Su Yu took the hairband, checked its wear and tear, and said with a smile in her eyes, "No trouble at all, I'll go make you a hairband."
Feng Huaijin nodded and silently watched Su Yu leave the study.
He couldn't help but lean closer to the mirror and raise his hand to carefully touch the new headband on his head.
It's not that he didn't have other headbands; they've exchanged quite a few gifts over the years.
But he always remembered.
The first gift that Mo Sheng received after escaping the dark and hopeless prison was a hairband that he had personally crafted, somewhat rough but full of heartfelt sentiment.
He noticed that his eyes were red and swollen.
Can't he really be a beast?
"Hey, by the way, Twelve," Su Yu suddenly turned back, leaning halfway out from the doorway, and asked, "I felt there was something strange about the atmosphere between you and Lin Yi just now. Did you two know each other before?"
Anger began to rise.
Feng Huaijin replied in a muffled voice, "I don't know her. I'm just wondering why she's in your study, brother."
"Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't look like a disciple of the Yuan Mansion."
"Ah, well..." Su Yu was a little conflicted about how to explain, as he hadn't had a chance to talk about the Ghost Market's Ghost Lord yet.
Lin Yin was able to enter the Abyss Mansion thanks to a special teleportation device inside the Ghost Market, which allowed him to be located and teleported to the Ghost Market Demon's side.
"Brother, are you interested in Fellow Daoist Lin?" Feng Huaijin asked somewhat hesitantly.
He couldn't understand why Su Yu would allow the demon he had just met the night before to enter his study.
"Cough cough!" Su Yu choked on her own words, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Feng Huaijin's eyes darkened slightly as he continued teasingly, "Then I misunderstood. But brother, after all these years, haven't you really had your eye on anyone? Not even one regardless of gender?"
"No! No!" Su Yu was surprised that Feng Huaijin was actually interested in his love life, so he quickly denied it all and explained, "Your brother is more interested in cultivation, okay?"
"Just let things happen naturally with your partner. You're still young, so don't worry too much about these things."
"I see," Feng Huaijin said thoughtfully, "So, brother doesn't have any requirements regarding the gender of his partner?"
"I already said it's all up to fate! All up to fate!" Su Yu felt like she was about to choke again. "Twelve, why are you suddenly asking these questions? Do you have a crush on a demon?"
Feng Huaijin shook his head, not answering Su Yu's second question: "I'm just a little curious after seeing several romantic entanglements among my junior brothers and sisters these past few days."
"Alright," Su Yu said, preparing to leave to refine the weapon. "If you find a demon you like, remember to let me know, and I can give you some advice."
"Of course I'll tell you, brother." Feng Huaijin smiled faintly as he saw Su Yu out of the courtyard, watching his figure disappear on the road leading to the Yuanfu weapon-refining room.
He will definitely say it, but not now.
Since his brother doesn't feel disgusted by the idea of a male demon as a partner, there's always a sliver of a possibility that his wish might come true.
The red hue in Feng Huaijin's eyes darkened, and his ambition grew wildly in his heart like weeds and thorns. It was dirty, and even though it was pierced and bled, he was still happy to endure it.
Are there any other magical beings who can take better care of their brother than he can?
He was the one who spent the most time with his brother and had the deepest bond with him.
That Lin Yi can be so close to my brother.
Why can't he be a beast?
A month goes by quickly.
Su Yu had recently upgraded and added runes to the silver hairband before returning it to Feng Huaijin.
It's time for the task leaderboard to be updated.
Since it was her first time, Su Yu originally only wanted to take on a few simple material collection tasks to familiarize herself with the task process.
However, things didn't go as planned.
He and a string of his direct disciples were summoned to Grand Master Minfeng's office, where he personally assigned them a collective mission.
Ten direct disciples were dispatched, with the lowest cultivation level being the early Nascent Soul stage; it was quite a grand affair.
Minfeng, his face grim, instructed, "The Yuanfu's subordinate forces have discovered the trail of a wanted criminal from the Demon Palace. His destination should be Yulang City. Your mission target is him. The Demon Palace's intention is..."
His brows furrowed even deeper, and he uttered a few words in a cold tone.
"Kill without mercy."
Su Yu snapped out of his daze and realized that all the demons were watching him.
Oh right, he's the first disciple, so he should take the lead in expressing his opinion.
He bowed slightly, clasped his hands in greeting, and replied, "This disciple will certainly not fail in his mission."
The other nine disciples bowed in unison, saying, "We will not fail you."
The atmosphere became much more relaxed after that.
A girl with two long braids adorned with small green leaves stepped forward, expertly shrugged at Minfeng, and asked, "Where's the intelligence?"
"What did that wanted criminal do to offend the Demon Palace?"
Minfeng snorted coldly: "The Demon Palace won't say anything, only a recording stone that shows what the wanted criminal looks like."
"Don't ask any more questions, just focus on completing the task. Remember to record it with a recording stone if you kill someone, so the Demon Palace won't try to renege on their debt."
"We've assessed it; the target is at most the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. You can all go together without any problem."
He softened his expression and said to Su Yu, "I'll have to trouble you to lead the team. Once the mission is complete, you'll receive an extra five thousand contribution points."
