Chapter 25
Cassel put the unfinished candied haws aside without saying anything.
The atmosphere just froze.
Bai Yi touched his nose, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He glanced at Nie Wuhen, whose face was tense, hesitated for a moment, and decided to liven up the atmosphere.
He laughed dryly, coughed a few times, and said, "The weather has been nice recently. I can go out and bask in the sun, which is especially comfortable."
No one paid any attention to him.
"...The elders of the Fox Tribe sent a lot of things and left them with Master. Brother, Master has placed the things in your room and asked about your plans."
Nie Wuhen lowered his eyes and said, "Throw them all away."
Bai Yi came over and said: "There are so many rare treasures, are you sure?"
"I don't want it." Nie Wuhen's eyes fell on Cassel who had his back to him, and he thought about the ruthless way he wanted to practice. After a long time, he held the Wuwang Sword in his hand and turned away.
Bai Yi was totally confused. He muttered "problem" and turned to look at Cassel. The latter's shoulders suddenly slumped at that moment and trembled, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
"Hey, you can't cry," Bai Yi panicked, "If you cry, what will happen to the medicine? Do you still want your eyes?"
"I didn't say anything wrong," Cassel wanted to wipe away his tears, but then he thought of the light on his eyes. He could only put down his hands aggrievedly and choked, "Why is he so mean to me... Why did he suddenly get angry..."
"That's indeed wrong," Bai Yi laughed dryly and explained to him, "The brutality of the demon cultivators is beyond your imagination. The most taboo thing for countless cultivators is to be possessed by the demons. Once possessed by the demons, they will be condemned by everyone and be hunted down by everyone. Senior brother was worried about being possessed by the demons, but you stabbed him directly in the heart. If it were anyone else, they would have been thrown out long ago."
Cassel pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Alright, alright, take a rest," Bai Yi stepped forward, tucked the quilt in for him, and said, "Brother wants to cultivate the Way of Mercilessness. At this time, you must not shake his original intention."
Cassel was confused and said in a hoarse voice: "Does that mean that when Nie Wuhen falls in love, he will become possessed?"
"If you don't know, you might think you want me to be possessed." Bai Yi said half-jokingly, but his eyes were slightly cold. He tilted his head to look at Cassel, and then thought of everything that had just happened. He blinked and said deliberately, "Don't get emotional. If you get emotional, you will be possessed. Especially, it's love."
The latest elixir developed by Bai Yi is still extremely useful. In less than three days, when he takes off the floating light brocade, Cassel will be able to see everything clearly.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the so-called room - it could no longer be described as luxurious. The huge room was covered with carpets everywhere. On the sandalwood table were calligraphy and paintings, antiques that Cassel could not understand, and luminous pearls of all sizes were almost everywhere.
Although Cassel didn't recognize these things, he knew how many candied haws one night-shining pearl could be exchanged for, so when he opened his eyes and converted all the things in front of him into candied haws in his mind, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, so many candied haws."
Nie Wuhen who was standing next to him: "..."
Bai Yi couldn't understand: "Candied Haws tastes so good but it's so sour..."
"No way," Cassel retorted, arguing for the candied haws, "The candied haws given by Nie Wuhen are not sour."
Bai Yi felt that it was hard to put it into words: "...It's true... I'm telling you, don't be fooled by a candied haws again."
Cassel stopped talking. He raised his eyes stealthily and looked at Nie Wuhen. When he saw someone looking at him, he immediately turned his head away.
It is impossible for tentacles to grow out. But without the tentacles, his face showed all his appearance. Perhaps it was because of the nourishment of pure magic power that Nie Wuhen inexplicably felt that Cassel had become more handsome.
His facial features are more three-dimensional and slightly soft. When he is angry, there is loneliness between his eyebrows, but that loneliness gives people a feeling of worrying about the world, gloomy and sad.
When he smiled, the clouds and fog dispersed, as if light was coming in, and it was as warm as before. This face looks as if it was carved by someone himself. The tentacles sealed his beauty, but the pure magic power gave him a gentle yet strong temperament.
However, it was hard for Nie Wuhen to imagine that such a person would think about becoming a demon all day long and think how wonderful it would be.
He felt that he needed to make Cassel realize how cruel the demon cultivators were before he went into seclusion.
"Come here." Nie Wuhen said in a faint voice. He walked over and put the Floating Light Brocade in his hand back on Cassel's eyes. With the blessing of magic power, the Floating Light Brocade suddenly disappeared.
When Cassel opened his eyes, his emerald green pupils were replaced by black, as if he had truly integrated into this world.
Cassel was curious, so he reached out and touched his eyes, then touched the back of his head, but he couldn't feel the knot. It was as if everything that had just happened had never happened.
"What is this—"
Cassel had just asked, but before he finished speaking, he saw Nie Wuhen turned and walked out the door. Bai Yi waved at him and smiled: "Go quickly and come back soon."
Cassel: "..."
He was more confused than anyone else. Without knowing what was going on, he left Yuanqi Pavilion and followed Nie Wuhen all the way down the mountain.
Many people dressed in white appeared around, with swords on their waists, and saluted Nie Wuhen respectfully: "Sword Master."
Cassel flinched a little. He took two quick steps, grabbed Nie Wuhen's sleeve, hid behind him, and asked him in a low voice where he was going and whether he could go back.
Nie Wuhen replied: "Demon Realm. No."
Cassell was a little discouraged.
He subconsciously wanted to pull his little tentacles, but then he realized that his little tentacles seemed not to have grown out. He touched that place lightly with his hand and felt it was smooth.
Cassel was very flustered. He always felt that the tentacles would not grow out, but Bai Yi applied ointment on him and told him that they would grow out. Cassel could only swallow his doubts and pray that the tentacles would grow out.
Finally, Nie Wuhen stopped.
Cassel didn't notice and bumped into his back. After yelling, he covered his head and retreated. He poked his head out from behind him and saw an old man with gray hair and beard standing in front of Nie Wuhen. He nodded at him and said, "Sword Master."
Nie Wuhen responded: "Master."
When Cassel saw Nie Wuhen greeting him, he guessed that the person in front of him should be some powerful figure. Seeing Nie Wuhen nod, he also nodded quickly, but he felt that it was strange for him to do so, so he bowed and saluted -
Nie Wuhen grabbed Cassel's clothes and lifted him up. He turned around and looked at Cassel, who had an innocent face. After a moment of silence, he stepped in front of Cassel.
The head of the sect naturally noticed Cassel. He was obviously shocked and found it incredible: "This is..."
"My mother's relatives." Nie Wuhen didn't want to explain further, "I have something important to do down the mountain, so I won't accompany the Sect Master."
"Hahaha, of course first things come first. Oh, right, the matter of the fox tribe..."
"When Lingyou is tied up, the matter will be settled," Nie Wuhen walked down the mountain, "all the things are in the main hall. The head of the sect can ask the elders of the fox tribe to come and get them themselves."
The headmaster smiled awkwardly.
Nie Wuhen said nothing more and led Cassel down the mountain. Cassel was quite curious: "Nie Wuhen, what is a clan relative?"
"Relative." Nie Wuhen slowed down his pace. He was waiting for Cassel to come over and stand side by side with him.
Cassel was indeed walking alongside him, but he didn't realize it. He remembered what Bai Yi had said these days, and suddenly said, "Is this what my brother meant?"
Nie Wuhen's back stiffened.
He stopped and shook his head indifferently at Cassel: "No."
"What does that mean?" Cassel asked, "If I were your relative, what should I call you?"
Nie Wuhen fell silent.
Cassel pulled his sleeve and urged him innocently: "What should it be called?"
"Call me by my name," Nie Wuhen loosened his clenched fist and said, "Just call me by my name. It sounds better."
"What about you, are you going to call me brother?"
"..." Nie Wuhen pulled the corner of his mouth, "Let's go down the mountain."
Seeing that he was walking forward and ignoring him, Cassel could only respond reluctantly and quickly follow him.
At the foot of the cloud is an extremely lively village with a market in the village. The market sells almost all the treasures in the world, from elixirs to magical weapons, food, weapons, clothes, and property deeds. Most of the legitimate transactions take place here.
When Cassel first entered, he was very curious. There were a lot of ding-dong sounds all along the way, and they were all selling weapons. He leaned over and looked at the people gathered together, bidding a price for a sword.
"Thirty thousand spirit stones!"
"Thirty-five thousand spirit stones!"
"I'll give you fifty thousand!"
Cassel turned around and looked at Nie Wuhen. Nie Wuhen seemed to know what he was going to ask, so he said: "Spirit stones are equivalent to silver in the human world. One piece of spirit stone is one tael of silver. But spirit stones are different from silver. The spirit stones here are made by the cultivators themselves by inputting their own magic power. It is equivalent to, the stronger your magic power is, the richer you are."
“Ability determines wealth.”
Cassel blinked, his black pupils shining like black gemstones: "Then are you very rich and can buy a lot of candied haws?"
"……Um."
Nie Wuhen continued to move forward. The two left the place where weapons were sold and came to another area. This place was completely different from the bustling city just now. It was extremely quiet, so quiet that Cassel even subconsciously slowed down his breathing.
Nie Wuhen's tone did not change as he continued, "This is a place where spirit beasts are sold. The so-called spirit beasts are nothing but the offspring of the demon race. Among the demon race, rabbit demons have the most amazing reproductive capacity. With too many of them, they naturally cannot afford to raise them, so this industry has developed."
"Ah," Cassel was shocked. He found it unbelievable. "Are their parents selling them? Won't they feel bad?"
"Too many," Nie Wuhen said, "Each rabbit demon gives birth to twenty pups. They don't even know how to write the word 'heartache'. And everyone who comes here voluntarily."
