Ordinary demon beasts need to cultivate for thousands of years to transform into human form. Even a royal demon beast like the Nine-Hearted Moon Rabbit needs at least eight hundred years to reach the transformation stage. Killing a demon beast in the transformation stage is equivalent to losing its cultivation of thousands of years.
Given Wu Zhan's kind and soft-hearted nature, these two rabbit demon sisters must have done something wicked to deserve his execution.
Bi Xie was carried by Ji Gui and flew out of the underground demon palace, and the miserable and painful screams of the Nine-Hearted Moon Rabbit fell behind them.
But the demonic muttering in Bi Xie's mind hadn't ended yet: "How could the Heavenly Eye given to me by my master malfunction? How could it detect incorrect information? Is it broken?"
Bi Xie ignored Ru Hua's mutterings and let Ji Gui take her back to her palace, apply medicine to her ankle, and then make her bone broth.
"Master, drink more, you've lost weight," a hint of heartache welled up in Ji Gui's midnight-black eyes. Ji Gui's expression was tense as she fed him with extra care, as if she were atoning for something.
Bi Xie took a few sips, his butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and he held one of his hands, looking straight at him. "Wu You, I know you love me too much, which is why you locked me up, but this kind of domineering and restrictive love only makes me feel scared and makes me even more unsure how to get close to you."
"Do you know? During those days when I was imprisoned in the underground demon palace, I thought about many things every day, but I dared not think about you. I was afraid that if I thought about you, I would uncontrollably imagine many things that were not true..."
"Wuyou, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never abandon me without a word. I'm afraid that if we are apart for too long, you will really forget me, and I'm also afraid that I will feel tired and eventually want to forget you."
When she spoke her last words, her voice was soft and tinged with weariness.
Ji Gui's heart felt like it had been suddenly twisted. She hurriedly put down the soup bowl and hugged Bi Xie tightly. "Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have locked you up alone in the underground demon palace. I shouldn't have wanted to see you but didn't dare to. I shouldn't have let you misunderstand. I shouldn't have tested whether you loved me..."
“Master, please don’t forget me. I don’t want anything anymore, I don’t want anything. All I want is for you to stay with me. Just being with me is enough.”
He nervously stroked her dark hair, again and again, as if trying to sort out his own chaotic inner thoughts.
Ji Gui could comprehend even the laws of heaven and earth, but he couldn't comprehend his master's.
He wasn't afraid of demons or evil spirits, but he was afraid that his master would forget him.
"Master, please don't say you'll forget me, I can't bear it," he whispered, his warm breath carrying a hint of restraint. Bi Xie felt a feather-like fan gently brush against her cheek.
A slight itch, an itch that seeps into your heart.
It felt like being tickled by a million feathers.
After a while, he began to nervously touch her earlobe, and soon licked it until it was wet.
Bi Xie felt as if an electric current had struck his heart.
"Wuyou, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. Let go of me. How am I supposed to eat if you're holding me like this?" Bi Xie's breathing was unsteady, and his face was flushed red. He no longer had any of the aloofness that an immortal should have!
"I'll eat for a while, Master, and then I'll feed Master," Ji Gui said in a hoarse voice. He lowered his head, took her earlobe in his mouth, and gently bit it.

When Bi Xie opened his eyes again, Ru Hua in his mind was no longer muttering, but instead greeted him brightly, "Good morning, host! Let's start our wonderful day by caring for the big boss~"
Feeling weak all over, Bi Xie didn't move and asked, "Ru Hua, did I sleep for another three months or three years?"
Ru Hua: "Host, are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that extraordinary fairy fight you had with the big boss yesterday? The marks on your body haven't faded yet, how could it have been so long?"
Bi Xie ignored Ru Hua's sarcasm and instead uttered a sinister remark: "You peeked again?"
Ru Hua choked for a moment, then started to cough fake: "Cough cough cough, I don't know anything, I just... oh, I saw a little bit, just a little bit, really just a little bit. If it weren't for the big boss increasing my happiness level, I wouldn't have rushed out so excitedly!"
Bi Xie: "..."
"Ji Gui's happiness value increased? By how much?"
I thought that after Ji Gui misunderstood her first love in this world, the 20 points of happiness she lost would be hard to recover. But I didn't expect that just making pancakes yesterday would make her happiness points rise again.
Bi Xie was overjoyed and anxiously awaited the answer.
Ru Hua: "It went up by 0.5 points."
Bi Xie: "..."
Ru Hua was more optimistic than her: "I think this is a good start. The host is simply a miracle. You angered the big boss to such an extent that he still restrained his murderous intent and did not break your neck. Sigh, the big boss of this world is not only good-looking and skilled, but also resilient. Even with a blackening value of 100, he still did not have the heart to kill the host."
"As expected of a big boss who grew up enduring hardship and bearing heavy burdens, his ability to endure is simply outrageous!"
Bi Xie smiled and said, "You really want me dead? My little darling, what about our friendship?"
Ru Hua: "We were never meant to be, but we are brought together by this mission. If we fail, our little boat will capsize immediately."
Bi Xie's lips twitched: "...Alright, this limerick is fine!"
After resting in the palace for a few days, Bi Xie was able to get out of bed and jump around again.
That beast was too good at nibbling; he nibbled all over her neck, leaving a strawberry-like mark, and wouldn't let her use her spiritual power to erase it.
So she could only find a silk scarf to wrap around her neck and then head towards the cave where Wu Zhan was imprisoned.
Having spent a long time in the Demon Abyss, Bi Xie naturally recognized that cave.
It turned out to be the nest of a bloodthirsty human-faced spider.
Bi Xie frowned and looked at the demon beside him who was strolling leisurely as if taking a leisurely walk: "You imprisoned him in the nest of the bloodthirsty human-faced spider, how could he possibly survive?"
"Master is worried about his life or death? He's very important to Master?" Ji Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of wickedness showing in his elegant, misty gaze. He snorted lazily, "If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have a pair of crimson eyes, I would have killed him long ago!"
Bi Xie's temples throbbed, and he glared at him: "Don't kill him."
"Why?" Ji Gui's gaze darkened. "Could it be that Master had not only a first love, but also a second love?"
Bi Xie's lips twitched. Fearing further misunderstanding, he said seriously, "When you went to the Wilderness, I was imprisoned in the Fire Poison Cave of the Golden Light Sect by the Nascent Soul Elders of various immortal sects. If it weren't for his protection, when you came to the Golden Light Sect to fetch your bride, you would probably only have received a corpse."
