Zong Li didn't know how long he had spent here.
His demonic power was almost exhausted, and his consciousness was not clear. He could not remember the difference between day and night, and he did not know how many days and nights had passed. During this period, he also tried to control the flower branches to contact Li Rushi, but his power was too weak, and even this was difficult to do.
The flower demon in red clothes and with loose black hair had his eyes half closed, and his limbs were handcuffed so he couldn't break free. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even be able to detect his breathing.
Before Zong Li lost consciousness, he was still thinking, he didn't fulfill his promise to Xuan Zhi, would Xuan Zhi blame him? Would he want to terminate the cooperation with him?
That's not good. After all, it's rare to find a teammate as reliable as Xuanzhi. If we break up, we may not be able to meet such a teammate again. Xuanzhi...Xuanzhi has a good personality and high combat power, and he still took him in. Xuanzhi...Xuanzhi, where are you? Can we meet again?
Dong Dong Dong...Why are there footsteps?
The flower demon in red clothes and black hair tilted her head and saw a person walking towards her from a distance. It was a man, about...30 years old? He was very good-looking and tall, but his face was a little pale and his lips were also white.
Strange, where did this person come from, and how could he have his floral scent? Impossible, he didn't remember ever having any contact with this person.
The man’s attitude was also quite strange. After seeing him, he suddenly looked relieved. That look was so familiar, like...Xuanzhi...Xuanzhi???
Li Rushi looked at Zong Li in front of him. His condition was not good. His red clothes were a little tattered, and his hair was not tied up like before, but scattered, half covering his thin face. His eyes were tired and haggard, like a traveler who was struggling to find an exit in the desert, and his whole body revealed an air of dejection.
But within a few seconds, Zong Li's eyes lit up. He couldn't believe it, and put his face in front of Li Rushi and asked him in a low voice: "Xuanzhi, you are Xuanzhi, right?"
Li Rushi nodded. For some reason, she suddenly felt a surge of pity in her heart. She suppressed her urge to touch his face, changed the dagger in her hand, and drew it out of its sheath in an instant, cutting off the chains that bound Zong Li's limbs.
Zong Li had no strength left, and he slid down beside Li Rushi, and was helped up by his reliable partner, leaning on Li Rushi's shoulder. Li Rushi didn't care about anything else, and reached out to feel his pulse first. The spiritual power flowed along Zong Li's demon bones to his limbs and bones, nourishing his exhausted spiritual veins.
But this won't work. Sooner or later, Li Rushi will have to return to the ground and fight Bai Tan. Her spiritual power is not inexhaustible, but depends on the audience's attention. If she shares it with Zong Li, she will not have much left, and it may not be able to protect both her and Zong Li.
Yes, she wanted to protect Zong Li. At the very least... this person was her partner, and she still had to protect her safety. Now that he was so weak, it was indeed a matter of life and death, so taking action at this time would not be considered a breach of promise.
We have to think of another way. However, Li Ru didn't know much about the cultivation of the demon race, so she could only ask Zong Li if there was any good way to solve his current predicament.
Zong Li gasped for air, his body autonomously absorbing the pure spiritual power given by Li Rushi. Now he also had some strength. With his long hair spread out, he leaned on Li Rushi's shoulder and said softly, "We monsters can cultivate by swallowing our own kind to quickly improve, or we can eat more monster beasts' inner pills to improve our strength. But now we can't meet these two conditions. Otherwise, leave me alone and go on your own, Xuanzhi."
Li Rushi lifted him up, asking him to lean against her arms better. If he leaned against her, was he still afraid of pressing her? Why was he always moving away? As for the method he said, it was not impossible...
Li Rushi raised his eyebrows, opened the mustard seed sac as quickly as possible, took out a brocade box from the compartment containing the inner elixir of demon beasts and spirit beasts, and handed it to Zong Li.
The high-level monster's inner elixir is at the innermost part of the mustard seed sac. With her current level of cultivation, she cannot get it. But she has at least several boxes of ordinary fourth- and fifth-level monster's inner elixir, which should be enough for Zong Li to eat for a while.
Zong Li didn't need to look, as his sense of smell as a demon clan member had already allowed him to smell what was inside. It was a demon pill, and there were quite a few of them, at least twenty, all of which were fourth-level inner pills or above. This thing would be extremely precious even in the Xuan Sect. If it were a small sect, a fourth-level demon beast inner pill would be enough for them to regard it as a treasure in the sect. As far as he knew, his neighbor on Xuan Mountain was also a large Xuan Sect, and only the first disciple and the direct disciple could have such treatment. How come Xuan Zhi had so many? Was it her own trophy or...? This must be very precious to her, right?
Zong Li was silent for a moment, then he gently pushed it away with his hand. The flower demon turned his head and said, "Xuan Zhi, this demon pill is precious. You may not understand its value. If you just give it to me like this... you may regret it in the future."
Li Rushi didn't waste time talking to him. She directly opened the brocade box, took out the inner elixir inside and stuffed it into Zong Li's mouth. She moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she had stuffed several demon pills into his mouth. This thing would automatically melt as soon as it touched the lips and tongue, and in a flash it turned into demonic power and entered Zong Li's body.
Li Rushi pinched Zong Li's chin, forcing him to turn his head and look at him: "Whether this thing is precious or not is up to me. If I tell you to eat it, just eat it. Get your strength back soon and don't make me worry."
Zong Li's dark blue eyes met the man's black pupils. The two were so close that their breaths intertwined. In the end, Zong Li looked away first. He nodded to show his obedience, and Li Rushi let go of his hand, holding his lower back and pressing him down - not to do anything else, just to let him lie on her knees, lying down would make the absorption faster, but this underground palace was quite cold, and Zong Li was not in good condition now. What if he caught a cold during the melting of the inner elixir and something happened? Wouldn't she have to worry about it?
Let's give him a hand.
But in this look, the handsome young man in red clothes and black hair was lying on a mature man in a black suit. The man's eyes were restrained yet explicit, as if he was looking at some unique treasure in the world, and the young man seemed to be extremely dependent on the man, with his head resting on the man's knees, his black hair hanging down like that, and then tied up by the man's hands and placed on his chest.
Ancient and modern, red and black, strength and beauty, how can it be described with just one word: absolute?
【In this situation, I want to recite a poem: In the past, I didn't comb my hair, my hair fell on my shoulders, it was gently on my husband's knees, how could I not be pitiful.】
[I can say "wow", but I am uneducated, so I can only say "wow" to get you all over the world, tut tut tut. ]
[Indeed, this scene is a bit ambiguous... I'll be frank, I'm already into it, the combination of a handsome and cold top and a charming long-haired bottom, I really like it! ! ! ! ]
[Have you forgotten the person above? My wife is a woman! ! ! ]
[I haven't forgotten, but the CP also depends on appearance, right? Now their appearance is very compatible. Hey, I'm actually looking forward to seeing my wife in real life. I'm really curious about what she looks like. ]
[Ah, I'll see it one day anyway! ]
Li Rushi also saw the barrage. Wanzhuan Lang's knees, how could she not be pitiful. Interesting. Zong Li absorbed the demon pills very quickly, and a box of demon pills was completely absorbed in less than ten minutes. This also reflects from the side that his demon power is now seriously exhausted. However, this box was picked up casually, and Li Rushi's spiritual power was not enough to support her to select the right demon pill for Zong Li. In that box of demon pills, there were domineering lion and tiger demon beasts, cold snake demon beasts, cunning fox demon beasts, and all kinds of demon pills. Zong Li was a flower demon, and his demon power was relatively clean, which showed that he had not killed many people. He was forcibly fused with this pile of demon pills with mixed auras. The consequence was that he needed to use his demon power to transform all these demon pills into his own power, otherwise, the demon pills with repelling properties would fight in Zong Li's sea of consciousness, which would only be more tormenting.
Zong Li had already sat up, meditating to refine the demon pill. Li Rushi was standing beside him, and a little bit of spiritual power entered Zong Li's body in the form of a thread, helping him to refine the demon pill for his own use. With her help, Zong Li felt more comfortable.
But not long after, a black mist floated over here. Li Rushi felt something was wrong, his face serious, he stood up, and drew a circle around Zong Li with the words "Walk slowly" so that if there was a fight later, he would not be hurt.
As expected, the black mist had ill intentions and was trying to snatch the box containing the magic pill from Li Rushi. The mist condensed into a human figure with a bald head, cloth clothes, and big earlobes, looking like a monk.
But after monks pass away, they usually return to the supreme Buddhist kingdom. How could they turn into such evil creatures?
The attack of the black fog was blocked by Qie Manxing's sword energy and bounced back. Qie Manxing was born with the ability to restrain all evil spirits. The fog came at an unfortunate time and happened to hit Qie Manxing who was still jealous. His sword energy was extremely sharp, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the fog.
The black fog had no substance and was not affected by being repelled. It floated in the air and turned into a human form, but the monk's eyes were red and black, making him look very evil. He had a very decent appearance, but was dragged down by his temperament and no longer looked merciful.
The monk was obviously conscious. He looked at the living sword energy around Zong Li and knew he couldn't deal with it, so he turned his gaze to Li Rushi, looked him up and down, and murmured, "Human?"
The voice was very hoarse, as if the person hadn't spoken for hundreds of years. It was even uglier than the flute played by Zong Li.
The monk muttered to himself: "The blood is pure, and the body is full of merits. If I eat it, it will be a great tonic..." Before he finished speaking, he made claws with his hands and attacked Li Rushi.
Li Ru was using his sword to block. The monk's cultivation was not that deep, but he had no physical body, so it was not easy to attack him. The monk was not a fool. After fighting with Li Ru for two moves, he knew that she was a martial artist, and the sword in her hand was not ordinary. The monk had lived here for many years, just to find something to eat and replenish himself. He definitely did not want to cause trouble at this time and provoke someone he should not provoke. Therefore, after fighting several times, the monk turned into mist again and wanted to run away.
Li Rushi has his own way. Mist can be used to escape, but what if I use fire? You can't be faster than fire, right?
With a roll of spiritual power, the lightning-struck wood exerted its effect. The slow-moving sword energy contained the blue flame of the lightning-struck wood, sweeping across the entire underground palace. Except for the place where Li Rushi and Zong Li were, which was covered with a protective shield, no other place was spared.
See how long you can hide.
