Chapter 183 Wagging Tail
Yu Garden was destroyed in the battle. The main hall, side halls and wing rooms collapsed one after another, and the cedars were all broken. Now the ground is in a mess and it is completely uninhabitable.
So the demon minister followed the order of the demon emperor and led the human delegation to the Ling Garden opposite the Yu Garden.
Like the Jade Garden, the Spirit Garden is also an imperial garden not far from the Demon Emperor's Palace. It has a similar style, but is slightly larger in area.
The garden is adjacent to the coast, and standing on the second floor you can see the frozen winter sea.
Because there was no attack, the snow here fell quite evenly, with a consistent thickness on the ground and the tile roof, echoing the black stone walls.
"My dear envoys, what happened last night was indeed an unexpected accident. No one knows why the Scaled Fang and the Scaled Fang tribes committed such a riot, but I believe that His Majesty will give everyone an explanation."
"Today, please rest here for a while."
"We have invited a doctor for you, who should be here soon. In addition, the main hall of the cemetery is also preparing meals, so you can go there on your own."
"There are many things to do in the court right now, so we will take our leave first. Everyone, have a good rest."
As the demon minister bowed and left, the spiritual garden suddenly fell into silence.
At this time, everyone walked into the atrium and saw the tea pavilion in the corridor. They felt tired and a little scared.
Because Yu Garden and Ling Garden are very similar, and yesterday, in almost the same location, those exquisite visiting cards concealing murderous intent were delivered to their hands.
Just imagine, if they had really gone to the banquet of various ethnic groups last night, they would most likely have died tonight.
Even if someone was lucky enough to escape from the banquet, it would be a question whether they could successfully flee back to Kyushu facing the vast snow-covered area and the wilderness thousands of miles away.
After all, they had already felt the madness of the barbarians when they arrived, and even if they could sneak out of the country, they would find it difficult to escape the barbarians' pursuit.
What's worse, even if the few elders who came with them wanted to return to Hantie Pass under the pursuit of the Demon Alliance, they would surely be in danger of death.
Some things are like this. You don’t know when you first encounter them, but you can only see the full picture afterwards.
Last night, the murderous night was like the dividing line between life and death, which made people terrified.
At this time, Ji You was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed into the cemetery. His hands hung on both sides of the wheelchair. Although he could still use them, the tingling sensation was extremely intense, even more unbearable than when he had just woken up.
This meant that the effect of Feng Yang's acupuncture had begun to weaken, and his meridians that had been forcibly opened were slowly returning to their original positions.
It is estimated that after noon, his hand will lose the ability to move again.
I need to go to the toilet first...
I can't let the young master fall behind any further, or he will definitely cause trouble for me.
Ji You exhaled, and turned into a wisp of light smoke in the chill of the far north, then turned to look in the direction of the Demon Emperor's Palace.
The night raid was not without benefits. At least it shortened the process of the Demon Emperor making a decision.
It seems that it won't be long before they can leave the snowy area...
Although Ji You had been feeling like traveling in a foreign land in the past few days, after being in a foreign country for a long time, he would inevitably feel homesick.
At this time, Gongshu Chou couldn't help but ask him: "Is that demon general Shuhe really very strong?"
Ji You came back to his senses and nodded when he heard the voice: "I monitored the entire West Courtyard with my divine consciousness, but even so I almost overlooked his figure. He dodged my sword strikes many times and even nearly got caught. His speed is so fast that it's really scary."
Gongshu Chou thought for a long time before speaking: "I am more surprised by his skills. He can actually inflict a knife wound on you with his bare hands. I have never heard of it before."
"Maybe this is his talent. His fists are as sharp as knives. He killed me with his bare hands. It scared me..."
"Could it be that he has a hidden dagger or something like that, but because it is necessary for the assassination, you are not allowed to see it?"
Ji You suddenly became serious: "Don't talk nonsense, let alone a dagger, I have never even seen a hilt of one."
Gongshu Chou imagined a figure with bare hands holding a knife: "Your body is obviously very difficult to break. If he really doesn't have a weapon, I still find it hard to believe that he can hurt you."
Ji You looked up at him, his brows gradually furrowed.
Please stop nagging me. If you keep on nagging, the case will be solved soon.
"Brother Gongshu, please take me back to my room first. I'm a little tired."
"Okay."
Gongshu Chou pushed Ji You towards the room, still muttering about the knife wound inflicted with bare hands.
At this time, the human geniuses, whether standing or sitting, looked up one after another and stared at his departing back for a long time.
They had never seen Shu He alive, so naturally they didn't know how strong he was, but they all knew the strength of his physical body. After all, that was a body that could fight hand-to-hand with the barbarians.
The demon general Shu He was able to inflict a knife wound on him with his bare hands, which showed how dangerous he was...
As a result, such a person died so quietly at Ji You's hands without even causing a ripple.
Extreme speed? Hidden?
They had never seen him, but they only remembered seeing him lying on the ground after entering the west courtyard, and they knew that he could not even reach the threshold of the envoy's room.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but say: "Although Ji You's realm is not high, his divine consciousness should be the strongest among us. This can be seen from the way he controls the sword."
Jiang Chenfeng raised his eyes: "There is a difference between seeing and cutting, he needs a fast sword."
Yan Qiubai looked up when he heard the voice: "Dao Sword Returns, that is my sword from Lingjian Mountain, the fastest sword."
"This guy's death was not unjust, but if he hadn't been guarding the west courtyard that night..."
Hearing these words, the geniuses including Huo Hong, Shi Junhao, Jiang Chenfeng, Xiao Hanyan and others could not help but frown and clench their palms.
Because if you think about it, if they were the ones guarding the west courtyard that night, it would be very difficult for them to stop the demon general.
And if they put themselves in the position of that demon general, they thought that Ji You might be able to kill them.
Huo Hong was silent for a long time: "What a coincidence, he just happened to meet someone his talent can deal with."
Jiang Yuerou raised her eyes and glanced at him: "You can't say that."
"Why?"
"In terms of mind, body, and swordsmanship, except for his low realm, he is actually very strong in other aspects. He can block a punch from the Barbarian Soldier King. His combat power really cannot be viewed from a narrow perspective of realm."
Hearing these words, the geniuses could not help but fall into silence again, and the three words "Tongxuan Realm" kept appearing in their minds.
Fighting the barbarians in melee, beheading the king of soldiers with swords, and killing the demon general today...
Along the way, the fighting power displayed by the Tongxuan realm of Tianshuyuan is really quite outrageous, even more outrageous than beating the opponent with a knife with bare hands...
At this time, Elder Ge from Tianshu Academy listened to everyone's conversation and fell into silence.
Although for a strong person at a higher level to watch those at a lower level fighting is like watching children fighting, it must be said that Ji You really exceeded too many expectations.
Such people cannot be treated as ordinary disciples.
This made him feel regretful. He should not have let Ji You fend for himself because of the influence of the people in the inner courtyard. Instead, he should have tried his best to protect him.
But back then in the wilderness, the barbarian soldier king shot an arrow at him, but he did not come to the rescue, so it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
In his opinion, this kind of disciple could at least become the hall master's personal disciple, but fortunately Ji You was just an ordinary person, so it wasn't such a pity...
But, it’s still a pity after all.
The Ge family originated from Zhongzhou and used to be a small family. It was not until he became an elder of Tianshu Academy that the Ge family successfully became a middle-class family.
But because it has only existed for a short time and has not many people, the Ge family has no foundation.
What Elder Ge felt sorry about was that he should have been able to accept Ji You as his personal disciple.
Especially, everyone in the courtyard said that his innate Dao heart could be passed down from generation to generation...
While he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps suddenly heard outside the gate of the spiritual garden. Because of the attack last night, everyone had already had a stress response. After hearing the noise, they immediately controlled their Qi and looked outside the door with sharp eyes. Then they saw a group of demon doctors with medicine boxes walking towards them, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance.
In last night's battle, most people only suffered external injuries. After all, the attacks of those mysterious demon generals were mostly blocked by the elders.
Chu Butian, who was the most seriously injured, was only pierced through the arm by the sword.
The other one was Tu Xu. He had been shot by an arrow from the King of Soldiers in the wilderness, and his wound was torn again.
However, for cultivators, as long as the vital parts, such as the spiritual essence, meridians, head, and heart, are not damaged, it is not a big problem.
So they asked the doctors to bandage them up, but did not allow them to do any more treatment.
After all, they were not sure whether what happened last night was just the private act of the Scale and Fang tribes and whether no one else knew about it.
When you are in a foreign country, it is not wrong to be more cautious about things like exposing your wounds to others.
Jiang Yan's injuries were relatively minor. She had suffered more blows, with only her wrist being the only wound. As she watched the doctor come forward and lift up her sleeves, she said, "We have another companion who was also injured last night and is now in the room."
Hearing this, the demon doctor looked up at her but did not speak. He continued to treat the wound with his head down.
Their movements were extremely meticulous. They picked out some broken objects and rinsed the wounds before bandaging them. The whole process was neither hurried nor slow.
Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled by the doctor's silence, thinking that he was too busy to do anything. But when she turned around and looked around, she discovered that several doctors had already bandaged the lightly injured but had not left.
"It seems like they have no plans to treat Ji You?"
"Is it because Ji You killed a demon general?"
"Is this really possible? This demon tribe is really too petty."
While they were talking, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the spiritual garden. Everyone turned their heads to look, their eyes slightly startled.
At this time, in front of the gate of the cemetery, Princess Feng Yang walked in, carrying a medicine box behind her.
She has a great figure, with a slender waist, tall stature, delicate and soft facial features, and curled eyelashes that shone a faint golden color in the morning light, exuding a sense of nobility and grace.
She was not wearing the plain skirt she had worn in the morning, nor was she wearing the doctor's white robe. Instead, she had changed into something that showed off her figure better. After entering the hospital, she did not look at them, but walked up the stairs slowly with her medicine box and went straight to Ji You's room.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they looked at each other.
In fact, they had just met the demon princess this morning. At that time, she brought the royal soldiers to stop the attack and escorted all the participants from the Scaled and Fanged tribes to the Demon Emperor City.
Such a big thing happened to the demon clan, and the follow-up handling must be very troublesome. In their opinion, the demon princess should not be able to get away in a short time, but they didn't expect her to appear again so soon.
"It turns out that it's not that he won't be treated, it's that Princess Fengyang wants to come and treat him personally..."
"The demon princess just escorted those people to the Demon Emperor's Palace this morning. It takes a long time to go back and forth, but she still made a special trip."
"She seemed to have changed her dress...?"
During this time, Huo Hong stood up silently and returned to his room in silence.
At the same time, Ji You was in the room, holding two daggers with his arms, which were already in increasing pain, and then carefully admiring the blades.
As expected, the material of this dagger is definitely extraordinary. Both its hardness and sharpness have reached the highest level. Even if it is not wielded by anyone, it will reveal a wonderful aura.
【Wild Knife】
At this moment, his door was pushed open from the outside.
Ji You quickly put away the two daggers, then turned around and saw Princess Feng Yang coming in from the door. She looked at him, then walked in with a medicine box and put it down next to him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The needle should be taking effect soon. Let me take a look at your arm."
"The pain is really starting to become noticeable."
Princess Fengyang nodded after hearing this, then smoothed her skirt, squatted on the ground and opened the medicine box. The outline of her buttocks looked round, full and straight.
Then she lifted Ji You's arm, felt his pulse for a long time and said, "The meridians that were opened have begun to shrink, and the senses have also recovered, so the pain will be very strong. I will help you block the pain again."
Ji You raised his head when he heard the voice: "Won't this make the injury worse?"
"No, only opening up the meridians will aggravate the injury, blocking the pain won't."
Ji You looked at Princess Fengyang and felt that her voice sounded more strident than before, but she herself did not seem to notice it and still looked like a "serious doctor".
Feng Yang raised her beautiful face, and was confused for a moment after seeing his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"I was just wondering what would happen to those demons who participated in the attack?"
"Early tomorrow morning, the Imperial Heavenly Demon Association will take them to the Snow Peak and lock them up in the cold prison."
Ji You felt the slight pain of the silver needle piercing his skin. After a long silence, he said, "It was really a close call..."
Feng Yang hummed softly, and then continued: "If you hadn't been prepared in advance, the war would have really started. But how did you find out about the Linya clan?"
"The Demon Emperor hasn't made a decision yet, but the demons have already sent us a visiting card. This is a bit too hasty. Moreover, the owner of the visiting card is surnamed Mu, the same as the chief of the Scale Tribe who strongly demanded war in the Demon Court that day."
"That's his son. The mining of the demon clan's spirit stones has always been the responsibility of the scale clan."
"really……"
Feng Yang held his palm at this time, feeling it was somewhat warm and generous, and then slowly inserted the next silver needle: "Stop the King of Soldiers, stop the demon general, are you really not afraid of death?"
Ji You felt the silver needle entering his body and said, "If I don't do this, the people of Fengzhou will be finished."
"Toyosu?"
"This is the most barren state for our human race. There is no immortal sect or family. I am the only immortal cultivator in Fengzhou. This year, I killed many people to reduce taxes, but I finally managed to hold on. Now we have a little hope for a better life. We can't let it be ruined by war again."
Ji You suddenly pursed his lips and said, "A man should die on the way to save others, otherwise he will regret it."
Then, as the silver needle pierced Ji You, his sense of pain was gradually blocked, and the pain caused by the contraction of the meridians also rapidly reduced.
At this moment, he looked down at the demon princess, his eyes attracted by the round horns hidden in her hair.
The demon race has many more parts than humans, and horns are one of them.
However, this kind of horn should be hard keratinized tissue, without nerves and blood circulation, so it should not be able to move and would not have any feeling.
Feng Yang released Ji You's right hand and held his left hand: "It's time for this."
Ji You watched her movements and thought that she didn't clasp her hands together like this last time she gave acupuncture.
However, the demon princess's hands were small, slender and smooth. When placed in his palms, they were slightly cold, but Ji You did not feel uncomfortable. He wondered if the same was true for his feet.
Ji You thought for a long time, and suddenly a white and tender foot flashed in front of him, showing a kicking posture, which made him hold his breath.
I haven't been kicked for a long time. My mind is a little clearer now. I have to stop it quickly.
Although Yan Shuyi called herself a "strange man" all the time, she was actually a jealous person. She had been secretly fighting with Yuan Caiwei before. If there was another person, she would probably get angry.
Feng Yang stood up slowly and looked at the silver needle on his arm: "You should not feel the pain in your arm now, but it will take a long time for your meridians to recover. During this period, you still can't use your arm."
"Thank you for your help, Princess."
"You're welcome, but you should cherish your life more in the future. Your fearlessness of death is sometimes a disease."
Ji You raised his eyes: "Not being afraid of death is also a disease?"
Princess Fengyang nodded after hearing this: "Not being afraid of death is sometimes the same as wanting to die. The fatality rate is higher than that of a real disease."
Ji You raised his eyes: "Thank you for the reminder, Princess."
"I told you you're welcome."
"All right."
As Ji You finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
Because the silver needle needed to be inserted in his arm for a sufficient amount of time, Princess Feng Yang could only stand in front of him and wait. This atmosphere of not knowing what to say made people feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Feng Yang looked around and suddenly said, "You forcefully used your arm, and the consequences are unknown. If you feel any sudden pain or have any other questions, you can always call me."
After thinking for a while, Ji You tentatively said, "Princess, I do have a small matter I want to ask you, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Feng Yang turned and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
"Well, it's not a big deal. The main reason is that humans and demons are wary of each other, which almost caused a disaster. In the final analysis, it's because they don't understand each other. I actually hope that humans can learn more about demons, so I'm curious about many things, such as... do demon women have tails?"
Princess Fengyang was stunned at first, then her cheeks gradually turned red and she stood there in a daze.
"Well, if it's inconvenient to tell me, forget it. Anyway, that's not what I want to ask. It's just that a friend of mine is curious."
“Actually, there is…”
"Really?"
Feng Yang was silent for a while and suddenly spoke. A bulge behind him gradually pushed open the folds of his skirt, and he whispered, "That's it. You can hide it normally..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and she noticed that Ji You was staring at her from behind. She couldn't help but look away and bit her red lips lightly.
Ji You came back to his senses at this time and felt a little emotional.
I thought to myself, so that's how it is. No wonder I can't see it. It's the same as me, just in the wrong position.
Then the air fell silent again, and Ji You continued to think quietly.
Princess Fengyang also began to lose her focus while waiting, and no one knew what she was thinking about. But not long after, the tail under her skirt began to swing towards him involuntarily, as if it was unintentional.
Ji You looked at him for a long time: "Princess, are you happy now?"
"?"
Feng Yang glanced at him, subconsciously stopped wagging his tail, and then shook his head blankly: "Such a big thing happened today, and it almost caused a disaster that could not be resolved. I have nothing to be happy about."
Ji You nodded after hearing this, and then the two of them fell into silence again. After Princess Fengyang had been quiet for a long time, her tail began to sway gently involuntarily...
He wasn't quite sure what the demon meant by shaking its tail, but he didn't dare ask. He thought it wasn't completely controllable, just like his, so he pretended not to see it.
After a while, the acupuncture time was finally over. Feng Yang, shaking his tail, came back to his senses and began to bend over to remove the needles for him.
At this time, Ji You could no longer feel the pain in his arms, and couldn't help but feel mysterious.
"I'll come back for a follow-up visit tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Feng Yang put the needle back into the needle holder, sorted out the medicine box and walked out: "Don't eat spicy food until your arm recovers."
She walked out after saying a few words, got into the carriage parked outside the garden, reached out to touch the fairy tail under her skirt, and began to be slightly dazed again.
The tail of a demon woman is actually a private part and cannot be shown to others casually. She didn't know why it happened just now, but it was covered by clothes, so it didn't matter...
After a moment of silence, the carriage returned to the princess's mansion, and her royal brother Ye Han was standing in front of the gate.
"Where have you been again?"
"I went to treat the human race again."
"Ji You?"
Feng Yang glanced at his brother and then nodded.
Ye Han's eyes became a little strange: "Didn't you say that you don't like him very much? Why did you go to see him right after leaving the palace and without even returning home?"
"Yes, I changed my clothes."
"?"
Because the climate in the Snow Region is extremely cold and not many crops can grow, Feng Yang has not had many skirts since she was a child.
The one she was wearing now was actually what Ye Han brought back for her when he went to Jiuzhou. She liked it very much, but had never been willing to wear it.
Ye Han looked at her blankly, feeling that something was not going well.
