Chapter 119 Yu Qingzhou lied to him.
Upon hearing Shen Yingxue's words, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but look at Li Xiao in the corner.
What he saw was the boy's innocent face, and when Yu Qingzhou looked at him, a hint of confusion appeared on that face.
"It must be a misunderstanding."
Yu Qingzhou thought for a moment and subconsciously used Li Xiao's previous words: "It's Li Xiao's first time outside, and it's inevitable that he'll be shy when he sees so many people. Senior Sister, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yingxue quietly observed Yu Qingzhou for a while.
He suddenly chuckled softly: "He's shy, but he's certainly not polite to his junior brother when it comes to his words."
Yu Qingzhou's body stiffened.
Ever since Li Xiao said those misunderstood things in front of everyone that day, Yu Qingzhou has not had a chance to explain to her senior sister.
Firstly, there was no suitable opportunity.
Secondly, he really didn't know where to begin. It wasn't a misunderstanding, though; those things weren't entirely unfounded, and even under his clothes, there were still large and small teeth marks.
Perhaps because the wound has scabbed over in the last couple of days, it is still slightly itchy.
Yu Qingzhou was too embarrassed to reach out and grab it in front of others, so she kept holding back, and couldn't even sleep peacefully.
At this moment, I heard Shen Yingxue's words.
It's unclear whether it means the literal meaning or something else entirely.
He couldn't help but hesitate on the spot.
Fortunately, someone ran over and reminded her that it was almost time to set off. Shen Yingxue then stopped pressing the matter.
Just as Yu Qingzhou was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Yingxue say softly, "Junior brother, you really are still the same as before."
"What?" Yu Qingzhou was taken aback.
Shen Yingxue didn't turn around, but instead said, "Do you still remember what I said to you by the Mo River that year?"
Yu Qingzhou certainly remembered.
With the hand that had just been used to slay the demon and save him, the senior sister picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood and dust from his face.
Then he gently reminded Yu Qingzhou to remember her identity.
Senior sister said: Qingzhou, you are human. Being soft-hearted towards demons is the greatest cruelty to yourself.
—Because demons are masters of disguise and adept at deceiving people.
But……
"Master Yu, weren't you leaving? Why are you still standing here like a wooden statue, not moving at all?"
A clear, youthful voice rang in her ears. Before Yu Qingzhou could turn around, she felt a sudden weight sink down on one of her shoulders.
Li Xiao clung to Yu Qingzhou like he had no bones, his breath constantly drilling into Yu Qingzhou's neck as he spoke.
Yu Qingzhou immediately raised her hand and, without hesitation, shoved that beautiful head aside.
The latter pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, but said nothing. Having promised Yu Qingzhou to be obedient, she still possessed that much self-control.
But just now, that woman, Shen Yingxue, whispered something in Yu Qingzhou's ear, and almost pressed her whole body against Yu Qingzhou.
Yu Qingzhou is really something.
Isn't it said that what humans care about most is the difference between men and women?
That woman clearly lusted after his body, but Yu Qingzhou didn't react at all.
When facing oneself, one is always wary and keeps a respectful distance...
"Li Xiao".
Hearing Yu Qingzhou suddenly call his name, Li Xiao was a little stunned and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
Yu Qingzhou originally seemed to want to say something to the boy, but seeing his confused look, she finally just lowered her head and smiled.
"That's enough," he said.
It was as if a worry had been temporarily put aside.
Li Xiao was completely bewildered, but seeing Yu Qingzhou's lowered eyes and smiling face, he felt a ticklish sensation in his heart, like being scratched by tiny claws.
But before Li Xiao could further discern her current feelings, Yu Qingzhou reverted to her usual indifferent demeanor.
"Let's go, we'll be there soon."
According to Yu Qingzhou, they were not far from their destination.
Li Xiao didn't quite understand the other party's intention in specifically explaining this to him.
—Because for Li Xiao, whether he arrives or not, or whether he arrives early or late, doesn't really make that much difference.
The fundamental reason why Li Xiao embarked on this journey was always simply because Yu Qingzhou was here.
If Yu Qingzhou decides not to leave, or turns around and leaves, then Li Xiao will inevitably go with her.
As for the place that those people called a sect, it meant nothing to Li Xiao.
He just wanted to stay by Yu Qingzhou's side forever.
Then……
Of course, the next step is to seize the opportunity to take back the stolen demonic power, and then find a way to store it away as a long-term reserve.
Perhaps one day in the future, when Li Xiao gets tired of it, he will simply eat Yu Qingzhou up.
But before that, the feeling of eating together, sleeping together, and being able to see each other when we open and close our eyes seems... pretty good?
With this in mind, Li Xiao continued to practice the principle of obedience.
Two days later, the group finally arrived at the sect located at the summit of the ice and snow.
This was the first time Li Xiao had ever seen such pure white snow in his life. He was so excited that he stomped around on the snow, almost wanting to put some in his mouth to taste how salty it was.
He actually wanted to do that, but Yu Qingzhou discovered and stopped him in time.
"That will upset your stomach."
Since Yu Qingzhou had given the order, Li Xiao naturally had to obey.
However, after he learned that the snow in this story was the same thing as the snow in Shen Yingxue's name, he immediately lost interest.
They turned their attention elsewhere.
He really was like a clueless little kid, curious about everything and wanting to ask about everything.
Yu Qingzhou patiently answered each question.
Perhaps it was because he was back in a familiar place that he felt completely relaxed.
—And of course, there's also the fact that we don't have much time left to spend with this boy.
Li Xiao had no idea what the young man was thinking; he only felt that Yu Qingzhou was exceptionally likable today.
This good mood lasted until the other person led him to a bright hall.
"I'll go report to the sect leader first. You stay here and don't wander around," Yu Qingzhou said.
Li Xiao was originally unwilling to separate from Yu Qingzhou, but then she heard the other party say, "Listen to me, wait for me to come back."
There was nothing else to say.
The hall contained many things that Li Xiao had never seen before: incense burners, railings, stone steps, carvings, flowers and birds, spring water...
I don't know if it's because I've seen too much along the way.
After glancing at it twice, Li Xiao lost interest in investigating further.
I randomly picked a chair and sat down, but soon I started to feel bored.
Why aren't they back yet?
Li Xiao stared in the direction Yu Qingzhou had left, his gaze gradually becoming unfocused.
He remembered that Yu Qingzhou hadn't changed his dressing yet today, and he didn't know if she had forgotten or if she hadn't had time to do so in the rush...
Also, the sugar cakes I got from Yu Qingzhou earlier have already been eaten.
When the footsteps approached, Li Xiao almost jumped up from his chair with a start.
He couldn't wait to look in the direction of the sound.
The person who came was indeed Yu Qingzhou, but he wasn't the only one.
Two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, walked along with them.
The taller one was skinny, with a goatee and bushy eyebrows, and he looked miserable.
The shorter one was rather plump and should have had a smiling face, but his eyes, when looking at Li Xiao, were filled with an indescribable sense of melancholy and a faint sadness.
Li Xiao heard Yu Qingzhou address one of them as Sect Leader and the other as Senior Uncle Chang.
"You are Li Xiao, A Zhao's child..."
Before Li Xiao could react, the short, fat man grabbed him and pulled him into his arms with such force that he almost broke a few of Li Xiao's ribs on the spot.
"No, who are you, uncle!"
Li Xiao struggled frantically. Holding Yu Qingzhou was one thing, but being bear-hugged by a complete stranger was quite another.
Unfortunately, the fat man, despite his size, was not weak at all; his arms were like pincers, and he couldn't break free for a while.
The boy looked to Yu Qingzhou for help.
Yu Qingzhou simply watched quietly from the side, without saying a word.
When faced with Li Xiao's surprised and puzzled gaze, she simply lowered her eyes slightly as if she couldn't see it.
At that moment, a terrible and absurd thought suddenly struck Li Xiao.
It even made him forget to struggle for a moment.
—Yu Qingzhou lied to him.
What do you mean by "be good and obedient"...
What? Waiting for me to come back here...
Yu Qingzhou brought him here clearly to betray him!
