Facing each other
"It's too late. I was just exposed at the Western Frontier Palace, and you just happened to disappear with me. If you don't take me in, then I will have no choice but to go out and confess, insisting that although I took the person away, it was you who hid him. To be absolutely sure, you didn't even tell me when you hid the person, so only you know where he is. The biggest suspicion is always on me, but the suspicion on you, Heqi, can't be shaken off either, so please take me in for a while."
Tianshu sat calmly on the grass, joking freely with Heqi. He knew Heqi was kind and loyal; they had once been friends. Even if it was just for Cha Suxun and A'li, he would definitely take him in.
"You scoundrel!"
He Qi was speechless and had to clean up the mess. He regarded it as a debt owed by his sister and brother-in-law, and only he, the younger brother, had to pay it back.
He packed up everything in the guest bedroom, including the furniture, and replaced them with random replacements. Only then did he let him in and warned him, "You are not allowed to enter my sister's room. You can only sleep in the guest room! You are not allowed to look at or touch anything! You are not allowed to go upstairs or enter other rooms at will! You are not allowed to touch any of the flowers and plants here, or we will all perish together!"
After Tianshu Star Lord's repeated assurances, Heqi was still a little worried, so he returned to the palace and moved his own things there, and lived opposite Tianshu, intending to keep an eye on Tianshu at all times to see if he touched his sister's things.
After the argument, Heqi suddenly remembered that the monster Cha Suxun had asked him to investigate was the Fallen Angel, the scorpionfish. This put their situation in danger, and he had to go and tip off the police. Just as Heqi was about to leave, Tianshu followed closely behind him.
He Qi said speechlessly, "Don't you have your own things to do? Do you have to follow me and be annoying?"
"It's safe to follow you."
"No."
"Why are you so inaccurate?"
He Qi turned around and gave him an unpleasant look, then set up a barrier to stop him.
"This is my territory. I say no and that's not allowed. Your immortal energy is too strong. If you rashly use immortal arts to break my barrier, you will be discovered."
"You're so cruel. I can't even play with you. After all, I'm your sister's friend. You should call me brother like you did when we were little."
He Qi said nothing and turned away. Before he disappeared, Tian Shu said, "Say hello to Yuan Lixian for me."
He Qi pretended not to hear, not daring to react. Returning to the Demon Lord's Palace, he summoned Bai Hu, transforming him into another version of himself, sitting in the palace reviewing government affairs. He and Bai Hu had done this many times before, so the moment Bai Hu picked up the pen and imitated him, he acted perfectly, appearing even more serious and solemn than the real Demon Lord.
As we slipped out of the border of the Demon Realm, we heard other monsters discussing that there were people from the Heaven Realm hovering outside the Demon Realm.
After a long detour, He Qi finally dared to conceal his demonic aura and transform himself into a charming mortal woman, heading towards the Yunzhao Inn. Before he could even go upstairs, he was stopped by the innkeeper.
The innkeeper narrowed his eyes in a smile, trying his best to be affable. "Excuse me, which room are you staying in? Why haven't I seen you before? Are you staying at the inn, or looking for someone?"
"Room number 1."
"I've seen guests in the Tianzihao room, but the girl isn't one of them. Our hotel has a rule that only guests staying here are allowed upstairs. Whose mother is the girl? We can talk business."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper kept gazing at her with a lecherous gaze. He Qi followed the shopkeeper's gaze to his transformed impressive figure, and quickly realized that the shopkeeper mistook him for a prostitute seeking business.
Just as he was about to knock him out, Cha Suxun came downstairs.
He Qi hurried over and stood beside Cha Suxun, saying aggrievedly, "Brother A Cha, I finally found you. I was almost chased away by the shopkeeper."
Cha Suxun instinctively dodged to the side, but when he heard Cousin A Cha, although he didn't know who this girl was, he still kept his distance and cooperated with her.
"She is indeed my cousin."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately apologized, "I am sorry for not recognizing the night pearl. Please don't blame me, my dear guest. I am sorry for disturbing you. I will make a pot of good tea for you to calm you down." After saying this, the shopkeeper immediately took the opportunity to slip away.
After the shopkeeper walked away, Heqi approached Cha Suxun and whispered, "I am Heqi, Brother Acha."
Cha Suxun finally let down his guard, but pretended to be disgusted and asked, "Why do you dress yourself up like this?"
He Qi lifted her skirt and spun around, imitating the various flirtatious poses before him like a prostitute trying to attract a client. "I dressed up like this specifically for Cousin A-Cha. I was afraid that if I didn't look good enough, Cousin A-Cha would refuse to pay any attention to me. Do you think I'm pretty, Cousin A-Cha?"
"It looks beautiful. If I had my treasured Floating Life Mirror with me, I would definitely use it to record my cousin's charming appearance and hang it in the most lively place in her hometown so that everyone can see it and not waste her dressing up." Cha Suxun joked seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door upstairs was closed with great force. Cha Suxun turned around and saw that the door of Room No. 1, which had been open, was now tightly closed. Cha Suxun immediately realized that A'li might have heard everything about the conversation just now.
"You came to see me in person, is there something wrong?"
"This is not the place to talk. Get me a room. I'll create a barrier and we'll talk."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cha Suxun followed his wishes and wanted to ask the shopkeeper for a cheap room, but Heqi asked for the upper room closest to them, the Ya room.
Inside the room, He Qi cast three barriers before speaking, "The demonic aura you asked me to find is from the fallen god Baiyan. His current identity in the mortal world is the Imperial Preceptor of Western Frontier. Baiyan is a former member of the Xie Yuan clan, and now he's mixed up with other members of the Xie Yuan clan who are causing trouble. I'm worried they might have ulterior motives."
"Is this why you're here? I know, but there's no hiding now. Many of Xie Yuan's former subordinates have reappeared, and they seem to be colluding and plotting something related. I suspect it's most likely related to Xie Yuan."
"Do you think this is a small matter? Heng Jin's tribulation is known to all the six realms. There are many people who want to kill him at this time. Ah Li is also going through the tribulation with him, so she may be implicated by him. She is a celestial being now. If she dies in an untimely death during the tribulation, it is very likely that her spiritual consciousness will be affected. It is really dangerous!"
"I know, trust me."
The more He Qi thought about it, the more worried he became. He suddenly changed his plan and said, "I believe you, but you are a mortal now. It's best not to use too many spells to avoid backlash. I've decided. I will stay and protect you! Oh, and Tianshu Xingjun also said that even Siming can't open the heavenly realm's book of A'li and Hengjin's tribulations. And now the course of the tribulations is completely different from what Siming originally wrote. It's all controlled by destiny. So you don't have to hide. Everything that happens now is normal before the book can be opened. The heavens have sent many people to secretly search for A'li's whereabouts. The longer A'li is missing, the more likely you will be exposed if the heavens really investigate."
"Before Ah Li asked me to erase her memory, she said she just wanted to live like two ordinary people in Jiwang Valley. So if you want to stay, you can only live like an ordinary person. It will naturally be more convenient for you to be here. I just happen to have something I need to get, so you can go for me."
"Okay, cousin Chi Xun."
Cha Suxun looked at his attire and said, "Stop messing around and change your clothes. Only mortal courtesans would wear such revealing clothes. Ah Li now only has memories of her life as a mortal. I have erased all memories of that person. She and I have just been married. According to mortal customs, you should call her cousin. I will go back to the house to see Ah Li first. She may have heard our conversation at the stairs, and I am worried she will misunderstand. If you need to explain, do it yourself and adapt to the situation."
Back in the house, Ah Li was half-lying on the chaise longue, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, clearly unhappy. Since he entered the room, Ah Li had not even glanced at him.
Cha Suxun moved a small round stool to sit next to her, diligently massaging her legs. Ah Li ignored him, so he took the initiative to explain, "My dear, a woman just came to me, saying she's my distant cousin. Her family suffered a disaster, everyone died, and she's desperate, so she came to me for help. I thought she was a liar, but she knew the names of my biological parents. Do you think our family can take her in?"
Ah Li glanced at him and said sarcastically, "You've already gone into someone else's house, why are you coming back to mine?"
"She had nowhere to go, so I settled her down temporarily. When I entered her house, I just told her some precautions and then left. You are my wife, and whichever room you are in is my room. If I don't come back, I will have nowhere else to go."
After hearing this, Ah Li felt her anger grow even stronger. She had seen it all with her own eyes, the two of them tugging and tugging at each other, and she had heard everything he said clearly. Moreover, the woman was dressed in revealing and inappropriate clothes, and her behavior was frivolous. She didn't look like a decent woman at all.
"How does my husband want to take her in? A concubine or a maid? My husband likes that beautiful cousin so much. Would it be unfair for your cousin to have her as a concubine?"
Hearing the jealousy in A'li's words, Cha Suxun felt both afraid and happy.
"Will A'li allow me to take a concubine?"
Hearing this, Ah Li suddenly sat up, picked up the pillow and hit him. Thinking of what he said at the stairs just now, Ah Li was furious. When she heard his question, Ah Li was so angry that she didn't pretend and went straight into a rage.
"Do you really want to take a concubine?"
"No, no, I only like my wife." After saying that, Cha Suxun hurriedly hugged her. A'li kept resisting, just like a loach and couldn't be held.
Cha Suxun quickly knelt at her feet and admitted his mistake, saying, "My lady, don't be angry. I don't want to take a concubine, and I dare not take a concubine. I just wanted to see if you would be jealous and if you care about my romantic feelings."
