thief
It was several days later when we returned to Yuqing Mountain.
"My little disciple is finally back!" Qi Shouchu threw down the vase in his hand and ran out to greet him after hearing the noise. He held Yu Heyi's shoulders and looked him up and down. "You've lost some weight. Are you injured?"
Wanqi Si, who was walking at the end, glanced at them, felt impatient, and left without looking back.
Regardless of his presence, Yu Heyi smiled and said, "My senior brothers protected me very well, especially Senior Brother Mi Xiu, who even bought me some candied haws!"
"This is what your senior brother should do. If two grown men can't protect a little girl like you, what will outsiders think if this gets out?"
He gave some elixirs to Mi Xiu to heal her wounds. When he heard from Yu Heyi that Wanqi Si was also injured, he put the remaining elixirs in her hands.
"Ayi, please give these elixirs to A Si for me. I don't want to see him. That brat came back and didn't even say a word to me. Isn't this disrespectful to his elders?"
"Yes, Master."
"By the way, Qi Zhixing's birthday is in a month. The Sect Master is too busy with affairs to make arrangements for her, so he asked me, his uncle, to prepare it for her. When you give the elixir to Ah Si, please also tell him that I will take you to the birthday party."
Yu Heyi blinked, agreed and returned to the yard.
The treatment of being Qi Shouchu's disciple is really good. Most of the sect's disciples live in the same courtyard, but Yu Heyi and the others are different. They each have their own independent courtyard.
Her courtyard was adjacent to Wanqi Si's, and Mi Xiu lived opposite them.
This was her first time going to Wanqi Si's yard.
Unlike her yard which was full of magical flowers and herbs, his yard was deserted with only a towering tree.
It seems to be a spiritual tree.
The spiritual tree was surrounded by abundant spiritual energy. As she approached, even the immortal bones in her body cheered for joy.
She strode into the yard and only found that the door of the house was half open when she got closer.
"Big Brother, are you there?"
It was quiet all around except for the "dong dong" sound she made when knocking on the door from time to time.
No one responded.
Is he not here?
He had just returned from the human world. If he wasn't resting in the house, where else could he go?
She waved her hand and placed the elixir on the stone table in the yard, waiting for him to see it when he came back.
Unable to guess his movements, she planned to come back another day to tell him about Qi Zhixing's birthday.
There is still a month left anyway.
When Yu Heyi was about to turn around, his eyes fell on the half-open door. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to close the door for him.
Even a vigilant person like Wanqi Si would forget to close the door when going out.
The door of the house is dark brown and is carved with patterns of auspicious beasts, which look lifelike.
The only flaw is that there is a scratch on the auspicious beast pattern, as if it was scratched by a knife.
Scratches?
She knew Wanqi Si's picky personality. How could he tolerate such an ugly scratch on his door?
She frowned slightly, as if realizing something, and looked up suddenly.
The door was ajar, and the crack was pitch black. But if you looked closely, you could see a pair of eyes staring at you intently.
Seeing that she noticed this gaze, the person in the crack of the door narrowed his eyes and revealed a row of uneven teeth.
Before she could react, a big hand stretched out from the crack in the door and pulled her into the house with great force.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw a very familiar face covered with scars.
"We ran out of the demon world without permission. Shouldn't the demon find us?"
"What are you afraid of? The demonic energy is so scarce that she's already exhausted. Now she's trying to figure out a solution. How can she care about us?"
"That's right. That kid is hot on our tail. Once we get rid of him, we'll throw that devil into the pigpen!"
"This woman stumbled upon us, so it seems we can't keep her here. However, her charming face bears some resemblance to that demon. If I weren't afraid of the immortals discovering this, I'd really like to give her a good beating."
Yu Heyi heard everything they said clearly, as she had woken up long ago.
But the original owner was too weak and was still in a coma. Only her consciousness was awake.
She recognized their identities the moment she heard the first words.
Aren’t these the two generals she defeated when she ascended to the throne of Demon Lord?
A few years ago, the demon and monster tribes were in turmoil. Yu Heyi, with her unparalleled strength, quelled all conflict. Although she was a demon, she was also the leader of the demon world. The reason was simple: the demon king of the demon world was capricious, bloodthirsty and aggressive, forcing many demons to hide in the demon realm.
When she became the king of the Demon Realm, she killed the previous Demon King and unified the two realms.
The first to oppose were the Blood Demon and the Evil Demon. They took the lead and claimed that the Demon Realm should not have a woman as its king, and some demons actually supported them.
She fought her way through the Demon Realm to become the Demon Lord. When she heard the doubts, she was furious and dragged her injured body to fight against them. After breaking half of their arms, she finally sat firmly on the position of Demon Lord and gained the submission of all the demons.
But she was also seriously injured and had to stay in seclusion in the Demon Palace for a long time.
The six realms have only heard of someone who single-handedly commands both the demon and monster realms, but very few have ever seen her true appearance.
Because she was so injured that she couldn't take a single step out of the Demon Realm.
However, there are still a few demons who do not obey her.
For example, the previous Sky Demon Scorpion thought that what Yu Heyi said was nonsense. How could there be a demon clan without blood on their hands?
But after she became the Demon Lord, she wanted them to behave themselves.
Another example is the blood demon and the evil demon.
The two demons are as their names suggest. The Blood Demon is bloodthirsty and sucks human blood to enhance his own strength; the Evil Demon is violent and cruel, and takes pleasure in devouring the souls of living people.
They worked together like brothers, the short, hunched one was the Blood Demon, and the one with a face covered in scars was the Evil Demon.
They disobeyed her from the bottom of their hearts, but they couldn't defeat her, so they could only swallow their anger.
But judging by the current situation, it seems that they have some tricks up their sleeve.
The "kid" mentioned by the second demon refers to Wanqi Si, and the "devil" refers to herself, so who is "he" referring to?
Who are they working for?
Yu Heyi was puzzled.
According to Qi Shouchu, Wanqi Si is gifted with extraordinary talent and excellent swordsmanship, and is the most likely disciple of Taiyan to inherit the position of sect leader.
But what does this have to do with the second demon?
It is impossible for the second demon to become the leader of Taiyan.
The most likely reason is that they are worried that Wanqi Si will become powerful in the future, attack the demons, and pose a threat to them.
But isn't she the biggest threat to the second demon?
She thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, but her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden voice of the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon growled, "Here comes that brat!"
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a silver sword with a cold glow pierced through the door. The two demons quickly dodged and avoided the sword attack.
The silver sword pierced the wall and hung firmly on it.
"Who are you, thief? Get out!" Wanqi Si kicked the door open, his eyes icy. He waved his right hand, and the silver sword flew back into his hand.
His eyes fell on the woman who fainted on the ground for a moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to normal.
After the second demon noticed this abnormality, he decided to use her to restrain Wanqi Si.
"Boy, I advise you to be obedient. Your lover is in our hands now. If you don't want her to die—" The evil demon took out a herb and looked at Wanqi Si with raised eyebrows. "We are in a good mood now. We don't want your life for the time being. As long as you eat it, both of you will be safe."
"otherwise--"
It snorted and laughed, condensed demonic energy in its palm, and slowly approached the unconscious person.
The Blood Demon added, "This is a Spirit-Eroding Grass. You won't be in danger of dying if you eat it, but you'll only lose a small amount of your cultivation."
"Which is more important, your cultivation or the woman you love?"
Lover? Beloved woman?
who?
I?
Yu Heyi was completely devastated and wished he could return to his body immediately and crush the second demon's dog head with his bare hands.
The Soul-Eroding Grass is a medicinal herb used by the immortal world to punish those who have lost their faith in Taoism and betrayed their sect. Once the herb is consumed, the eater will lose all their lifelong cultivation, their tendons and veins will be broken, and they will suffer excruciating pain.
In the blood demon's mouth, it turned into losing a little bit of cultivation.
Wanqi Si pressed his fingertips to his brow, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Then you may be disappointed. I have nothing to do with this girl."
What a complete irrelevant thing, what a complete irrelevant thing!!
Yu Heyi was furious again.
What a joke! I'm the Supreme Being of both worlds, do I need a mortal from the Immortal Realm like you to sacrifice your cultivation to save me?!
The demon didn't believe him and took out a basin of cold water that he had prepared in advance and poured it on the fallen woman.
His eyes were fierce. "Boy, you can't hide it from me! If there is no connection, why would she come to your room to look for you?"
"Cough cough!" The person on the ground opened his eyes and started coughing because of being choked by the water.
The cold water dripped down her hair onto her neck and slid down to her collar. A few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks in a mess, making her look particularly embarrassed.
Yu Heyi looked at the two demons with gritted teeth, and silently remembered this grudge in his heart.
"Tell me, what's your relationship with this kid?" The evil energy in the palm of the evil demon pressed against her cheek, and she could feel the terrifying magic power.
When she thought about Wanqi Si distancing himself from her in front of the two demons for the sake of his cultivation, and even disregarding their fellow disciples' friendship, she became furious.
Didn't you say it's irrelevant? Then I won't do what you want!!
Yu Heyi clenched his hands in his sleeves, his body trembling slightly from the cold.
She bit her lower lip lightly, tears welling up in her eyelashes, and pretended to look pitiful.
When Wanqi Si saw her like this, his eyebrows furrowed, the corners of his mouth tightened, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.
This looks very much like a widow whose husband has died in the human world.
Sure enough, the next second, her voice fully expressed her grievance and pity.
"Brother... didn't you say that I was your favorite little sister?"
"You are such an irresponsible boy. Your junior sister is in danger, are you going to watch her die without helping her? I heard that the immortals are all brave people who are willing to stand up for justice, aren't you one of them?" The second demon looked at Yu Heyi's pleading eyes and smiled contentedly.
After a while, Wanqi Si raised his hand helplessly, and the evil demon threw the Erosion Spirit Grass into his hand.
He slowly put the Erosion Spirit Grass into his mouth.
He sighed softly and said, "I did what you said. Please don't hurt my 'beloved little sister'."
