Spirit Tiger
"Brother, you came uninvited just to eat the fruit on my table?"
Yu Heyi shrank his neck, picked up the fruit on the table and handed it to him.
"What's your relationship with the wolf demon that was released from the immortal prison?"
He coldly slapped away her outstretched hand, and the fruit fell to the ground and rolled to the side.
After thinking for a moment, she bent down to pick up the fruit on the ground, wiped it clean with her sleeve and put it in her mouth.
"Probably because we all live in this world."
Wanqi Si got annoyed and slapped the bitten fruit away from her hand again.
The fruit fell to the ground, and the side she had bitten open was covered in dust and looked inedible.
"I don't have the patience to listen to your rambling. You were the one who let the wolf demon go. I know that."
"My fruit...cannot be eaten."
"Yu Heyi!"
The girl squatted down and looked at the fruit covered in dust with regret, and didn't listen to Wanqi Si's words at all.
He grabbed her collar and lifted her up.
When she raised her eyes, she instantly met his.
Those eyes seemed like an ice cave that never melted all year round, without any warmth, and there was a sharp look in the eyes.
"Brother, you look like you're going to eat me."
"I'll ask you one last time, why did you let the wolf demon go?"
His eyebrows were throbbing and his tone was cold. For some reason, she was not afraid every time he put his silver sword on her neck.
Not only was she not afraid, she didn't even seem to take it seriously.
"Didn't Second Senior Brother and Chu Dong explain it to me? You should have heard it."
"Brother, are you secretly in love with me?" Yu Heyi stared into his eyes, trying to see something from them. "You've been staring at me from the tree outside the prison since daytime, and you did the same before. You seem to be very interested in my affairs."
"Did you know I was in the tree?"
"You looked at me straight in the eyes, as if they were nails to my body. It was hard not to know."
Wanqi Si grabbed her neck fiercely and closed the distance between them.
He looked down at her, his warm breath fanning her cheek.
"If you continue to be so self-indulgent, I will kill you."
"Senior brother is going to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice again."
"What Mi Xiu and Chu Dong said is true. You really have no motive to let the wolf demon go. Qi Zhixing insisted it was you, but he couldn't produce any evidence. But I came to your yard at midnight yesterday, and there was no one in the house. The wolf demon escaped at night. May I ask, Junior Sister—"
“Where were you then?”
Upon hearing this, Yu Heyi's heart skipped a beat.
At that time, she only considered whether there was anyone around the immortal prison, but she didn't expect Wanqi Si to go to her house.
"Maybe he couldn't sleep late at night and went out for a walk to help digest his food," Yu Heyi said forcefully. "But why is Senior Brother not sleeping at this time of night and running into my room?"
"While digesting food, you passed by the immortal prison and released the wolf demon?"
Seeing his relentless attitude, she simply laid it bare: "It seems that Senior Brother is keeping a close eye on me. Nothing can be hidden from you."
"Why did you let it go? What's your relationship with that demon?"
The silver sword was across her neck again, and he asked with a hint of threat.
"Because it has never done anything harmful to the world, it is a good demon. If it is a good demon, why did it still end up being unconditionally killed by the immortals?"
Yu Heyi's eyes were firm, and he could tell from her eyes that she was not lying.
Because he became suspicious of her after discovering that she was not in the house yesterday, he searched everywhere for her whereabouts.
Although he didn't find where she was, he happened to encounter the escaped wolf demon.
The wolf demon immediately knelt down and kowtowed when he saw him: "Master, spare my life! I have lived an honest and upright life. Please spare my life and let me live!"
Seeing that it had no bad consequences, he simply turned a blind eye and did not catch it back.
Those who should be killed in this world are always the demons who commit many evil deeds, unlike those who are honest and decent.
But how did Yu Heyi know that the wolf demon was kind by nature?
Her spiritual power is so weak, how could she possibly see the karma of the wolf demon?
As if seeing his doubt, Yu Heyi reached out and moved the silver sword away: "Because I recognize it."
"Don't threaten me with a sword against my neck anymore, Brother. I'm really scared."
Wanqi Si raised his eyebrows, looking unconvinced: "Are you still afraid?"
"Of course I'm afraid that one day my senior brother will get carried away and really kill me for the sake of justice."
"You used to be a human, how come you know a wolf demon?"
"Brother, are you going to ask about my personal affairs too? If you're too curious about me, I'll be scared too."
Yu Heyi turned his head and picked up another fruit from the stone table and put it into his mouth.
She handed him another fruit, and this time he didn't slap it away, but he didn't take it either.
After wiping it clean with her sleeve, she stuffed the fruit into his mouth before he could react.
"Try it, brother. This fruit is very sweet."
"Don't always have a stern face. It's so ugly."
He took a bite as if possessed by a magic spell, and just as she said, the fruit was juicy, sweet and refreshing.
Very sweet.
The weather in the fairyland has always been good. What Yu Heyi does most every day is to sit in the yard and enjoy the scenery.
There is no sunlight in the demon and monster worlds, no distinction between day and night, only the faint moonlight shines on the earth.
Unlike the demon and monster worlds, the fairy world has no gloomy fog and no rocky mountains. Here the sky is blue, birds are singing and flowers are blooming. Yuqing Mountain is full of spiritual energy, which nourishes all things.
The scenery of the fairyland is beautiful, and she is happy to appreciate it every day.
Wanqi Si didn't come to bother her for several days. Mi Xiu occasionally came to her yard and stuffed some small things into her hands, but she threw them all into the drawer.
When admiring the scenery, she no longer sat at the stone table, but lazily held the back of her head and immersed herself in the fairy grass.
The magical herbs and flowers exuded spiritual power, and the magical bones in her body also benefited greatly.
The magical flowers in the fairy world are colorful, showing vitality.
Just like the rose beside her, its petals folded layer upon layer, like the hem of a girl's skirt. When the breeze blew, the fragrance of the flowers filled her nose.
Yu Heyi tilted his head and stroked the pink rose among the spiritual flowers. "It is said that roses are tenacious and can withstand neither severe cold nor scorching heat. But such a tenacious rose withered once it reached the demonic realm."
She took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance of flowers filled her heart.
"This rose is truly beautiful. But it's a little less beautiful than the one in my palace."
Looking at the rose in front of her, she remembered the rose she had specially found a flower fairy to raise for her. Like the spiritual flower in front of her, it was pink and tender, small and exquisite.
No flowers can grow in the demon world or the monster world. Not only flowers, but any living plants cannot survive in the demon world.
The rose was given to her by a child a few years ago.
At that time, she had not yet led the two tribes and was a small and displaced demon.
The child looked frail and it was unknown whether he was still alive.
She shook herself and collected her thoughts.
No matter what the child looked like, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
He gave her roses and she saved his life.
We've settled the matter long ago.
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset melts into gold.
When Yu Heyi was lying comfortably, a furry thing stepped on her face.
She opened her eyes and said in shock, "Tiger demon?"
Then she shook her head again, instantly denying her own thoughts.
It is impossible for a tiger demon to appear leisurely in the fairyland. It must be a spiritual beast in the fairyland.
The spirit tiger seemed to be catching butterflies. She happened to be lying among flowers and plants. The butterflies were flying around her and the spirit flowers, causing the spirit tiger to step on her face.
Yu Heyi moved the furry claws away from his face expressionlessly.
The spirit tiger noticed her, lowered its head to sniff her scent, and then circled around her.
She had been lying among the magical herbs and flowers for several days, her body already marinated in their fragrance. The spirit tiger seemed to like her scent very much, and even stopped catching butterflies, happily surrounding her.
"Whose little tiger are you? Why are you here?" She touched the tiger's head. The tiger turned over its belly contentedly and growled.
This tiger is so silly that it even turns its belly over to strangers.
If it were in the demon world, it would have been eaten by evil demons long ago.
She stroked the tiger's belly and smiled bitterly in her heart.
As animals, if you were born as a demon beast, you would be hunted by everyone, and you would be on guard every day, living in fear. If you are not careful, you will end up with your soul torn apart, and even suffer a lot of torture before death.
But if it is born as a spiritual animal, it is a sign of good fortune and will be raised with care by people.
The lives of the two are completely different, but the six realms should be equal.
Thinking of this, she lost interest in playing with the tiger and waved her hands to drive it away.
The tiger made a purring sound and rubbed its little head against her hand that was trying to drive it away, refusing to leave.
Yu Heyi smiled helplessly and said, "How come you are so good at acting like a spoiled child? Who taught you that?"
The tiger was enthusiastic, so she had to play with it for a while.
After dark, Linghu ran out of the yard reluctantly.
"How come this little tiger is just like Wanqi Si, coming and going as he pleases?"
Looking at its back, she couldn't help but sigh.
When she took off her robe and prepared to take a bath, she suddenly found that her hairpin was missing.
Thinking that it might have fallen into the yard when he was playing with Linghu in the evening, he didn't take it seriously and planned to go out and look for it later.
After she put on her clothes, she walked around the yard and didn't see any trace of the hairpin on the ground.
"Lost it by me?"
She scratched her head and ran to a spiritual tree to break off a branch.
Let's just make do with this for now.
At the same time, a light was still on in a room in the sect.
The tiger cocked its tail and purred with pride.
Wanqi Si picked up the hairpin on the table with an expressionless face. The hairpin still exuded a faint floral fragrance.
He kicked Linghu on the butt without any protest on his face.
The tiger howled in pain, tucked its tail between its legs and hid in a corner.
He threw the hairpin at Linghu and said viciously, "Give it back to where you stole it."
It picked up the hairpin and ran away with a look of grievance on its face. Thinking it was going to return the hairpin, he didn't care.
The affairs of the fairy world were in chaos, and he was investigating the conspiracy of the demon clan, so he had no time to take care of this spirit tiger.
The old man said to put it in the Cangmi Sect’s Spirit Beast Garden.
He thought about it and decided to send it over after he finished the work at hand.
After all, once he sets his sights on the demons, the demons will also target him.
