Chapter 293: Applying Medicine
On the city wall, humans and monsters were fighting fiercely.
Behind the monster, the demon army was lined up in neat rows, not moving at all.
Mingye half-reclined in an ornate and exquisite chariot, its sides carved with dragons and phoenixes, a testament to its opulence. Surrounding him stood a solemn group of high-ranking demon generals, clad in black. Before him sat an exquisite small table, laden with delicacies, and a jade pot brimmed with the fragrance of fine wine.
It doesn't look like they are here to fight, but more like they are here for a picnic.
Xuan Si stood respectfully by the side, pouring wine for Ming Ye, and could not help but ask: "Your Majesty, are we really going to watch this here?"
Mingye was in a good mood and glanced at him lazily: "Is there something wrong with what I did?"
Xuan Si fell silent immediately. How could he dare to question the Lord's decision? He was just curious for a moment.
Mingye's lips curled up in an unruly arc, and he said slowly: "I attacked the city. I also sent out the soldiers. Is there a problem? Absolutely not."
His tone was casual, but it revealed an unquestionable dominance.
Xuan Si lowered his brows and replied, "Your Excellency is right."
Mingye sneered, "Look at how little you can do. After all, you've followed me for so long. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm in a good mood right now, so maybe I can say a few more words to you."
Xuan Si didn't dare to ask any more questions, he just knelt on the ground and apologized: "I have overstepped my bounds, please punish me, Your Majesty."
The other demon generals around them turned a blind eye to this. The scene before them was commonplace to them. Compared to the sounds of fighting and the frantic roars of the monsters in the distance, the surrounding silence was oppressive.
"Heh..." Mingye laughed, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
There was no mention of punishment, nor was there any mention of no punishment. Xuan Si just knelt there humbly.
After a long while, Mingye said calmly, "You have been with me for a long time, and I have kept some things from you. It's not that I trust you too much, but I have the ability to crush you to death the moment you betray me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding demon generals also knelt down.
"I dare not."
There was another low laugh, arrogant and a little crazy.
"I know that some of you are lackeys of the higher-ups. I dare to do this in front of you, so I'm not afraid of you reporting me. But I advise you to be more sensible and hide well. Don't let me catch you in the act, otherwise you'll be in big trouble."
Among the demon generals kneeling in a row, one of them shuddered uncontrollably.
He knew the methods of the Demon Lord. Now that he said this, was he exposed, or did the Demon Lord deliberately bomb him?
The demon general was confused and extremely flustered by his words.
In two days, that person will come to deliver the message. Will he tell the truth?
The demon generals knelt down again and expressed their loyalty in unison, saying that they dared not.
Mingye ignored them and stood up, stretching his body lazily.
He looked into the distance and said, "Hey, this group of humans are quite powerful. They have almost killed all the monsters. They are indeed good seedlings in their eyes."
He gave the order directly: "Daybreak is approaching, and the monsters are almost dead. Retreat. I am tired after watching all night."
"yes"
Mingye lay on the carriage, as if remembering something, and added, "Send a message to that person, saying that the human race is brutal and the demon soldiers have suffered heavy losses and are unable to attack again. Ask them to send more heads."
Xuan Da suppressed the corners of his mouth and uttered a word, "Yes"
One of the demon generals looked up and was stunned at the carriage going away.
Suffering heavy losses? Unable to attack again?
Ever since he followed the Demon Lord to this place, he has been standing here every night to enjoy the cold wind.
Not only was there not a single demon general missing, but there was not a single casualty among the demon soldiers brought by the Demon Lord.
The ones who suffered the most losses were the monsters, okay?
He wanted to file a complaint and pass on information, but unfortunately his status was not high enough, so he could not take the initiative to contact the people above him and could only wait passively for contact.
When he thought of what the Demon Lord had said before, he felt a little timid and his heart was in turmoil.
…
The morning sun is soft, shining lightly on everything.
The city walls were stained with blood, and the thick smell of blood and decay filled the air. Outside the tower, in the open space, the corpses of monsters piled up like a mountain.
After the demons retreated, the disciples skillfully cleaned the city walls, dealt with corpses, and treated the wounded. Everything was in perfect order.
In the sect alliance hall, several elders held an emergency meeting, and when they came out, they all looked very unhappy.
Jiang Xia asked, "Elder, has something happened again?"
He guessed it might be related to the reinforcements.
Elder Li also had a complicated expression, "Call Xiaoxiao over, we need her for something."
Su Xun was accidentally injured by Nan Xiao many times, and there were many traces of explosions on his body. He looked bloody and the injuries were quite serious.
At this time, Nan Xiao was applying medicine to Su Xun.
Su Xun sat cross-legged on the bed, frowning and groaning in pain.
Ye Wumian and Lu Huai helped to sort and process the spiritual plants.
Su Xun: "Be gentle, it hurts."
Nan Xiao sighed, "Fourth Senior Brother, I've already been very gentle. If it really doesn't work, let Third Senior Brother do it."
She won't serve anymore.
The ointment hasn't even touched his wound yet, and he's still crying out in vain.
Su Xun: “Heh~”
Accusing eyes...
Nan Xiao: ...
She smiled and said, "It's my fault. I'll be gentler. Please bear with it, Fourth Brother."
She has to endure the sins she has committed!!!
Ye Wumian couldn't stand it: "Little Junior Sister, don't pay attention to him. This injury won't kill him."
Lu Huai: "Fourth Senior Brother recovers very quickly."
Su Xun: “…”
He is really his good brother.
He picked up a pillow beside him and threw it at the two of them.
"It's not like you two were accidentally injured, so you don't know how painful it is, right?"
"How can being injured by a monster beast and being injured by your own junior sister be the same?"
"This isn't just a casual injury; it's heartbreaking... My junior sister, who I grew up with, actually attacked her closest senior brother. I'm deeply heartbroken..."
"I don't care. This time it's all Junior Sister's fault."
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Nan Xiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, Fourth Brother, don't be angry."
"I promise there won't be a next time."
Next time she would keep her eyes open wide.
No one could be accidentally hurt, but her fourth senior brother must not be hurt. When he gets angry, he is like a child and is really hard to appease.
Ye Wumian was speechless: "Since you are injured, I won't bother with you."
Su Xun was also obedient now.
Nan Xiao had applied half of the ointment when the young disciple hurried in: "Junior Sister, Elder Li wants to see you."
"Is it urgent?"
The young disciple nodded.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
Nan Xiao stuffed the half-applied ointment into Ye Wumian's hand and said, "Third Senior Brother, I'll leave Fourth Senior Brother to you."
Ye Wumian raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Nan Xiao followed him.
Only Su Xun and the other two were left in the room.
A subtle smile appeared on Ye Wumian's lips: "Brother, come here, I will help you apply the medicine."
Su Xun felt his back was covered in creepy sweat, and he shuddered: "No need, I can find another junior brother, no need to trouble Third Senior Brother."
Ye Wumian said righteously: "It is my responsibility as a senior brother to take care of you, so you don't have to postpone it."
Seeing that he was about to run, Ye Wumian shouted, "Junior brother, hold him down."
Lu Huai held his arm and said earnestly, "Fourth Brother, just bear with it and it will pass. This is for your own good."
Su Xun: “…”
After an incense stick of time, Su Xun kicked Ye Wumian and Lu Huai out with a pale face.
Two bastards.
It hurts so much.
He wants to complain to the eldest brother!!!
