With permission, Shen Yunhao then spoke, "Although her blood energy is heavy, she should not have devoured other demons during her berserk state, and her constitution has not been damaged. As long as the blood energy is expelled, she should be able to recover."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoruo breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded: "Then... how long will it take to expel the blood qi? You can estimate it."
Shen Yunhao thought for a moment and then gave a number:
"If it's just me and Zhuzhu going in... it'll take three to seven days."
"Um?"
Bai Xiaoruo was taken aback, and her brows furrowed:
"What the hell? Three days is three days, seven days is seven days, what's with this 'three to seven days' range?"
"The shortest time is three days, and the longest is seven days."
"Why are there shortest and longest versions?"
Shen Yunhao thought for a moment and then said, "Three days refers to the time it takes to completely clear the existing blood energy from her body, while seven days... is the time when the Mountain Moving Clan begins its Source Fusion Body Refinement!"
Bai Xiaoruo became increasingly confused: "Wait! Wait a minute! How... how did we get involved with the Mountain Moving Clan again? What's the connection between the two? Please explain clearly this once and for all..."
Shen Yunhao stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and whispered in her ear, "Can you not be so cute... I want to kiss you again."
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo suddenly felt like her intelligence had been manipulated.
She glared at him angrily, jumped off his lap, and wouldn't even let him touch her tail.
"You're playing riddles with me again! Can't you just say what you mean directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush like this!"
Shen Yunhao was not annoyed. He simply leaned back on the soft couch and turned his gaze to a certain spot in the tent.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the thick fur and snow, reaching the farthest reaches of the earth, and a meaningful smile curved at the corner of his lips:
"It would be too boring to explain now."
...
In the end, Bai Xiaoruo left still completely bewildered.
It wasn't that she didn't want to keep asking, but it was indeed getting late, and staying any longer would be inappropriate...
They are nominally host and guest, so it's impossible for them to sleep together at night. If that scene got out, it would be too shocking.
However, before leaving, the little fox left Xiong Da with Shen Yunhao.
After all, this isn't the Demon Emperor's Palace, and nobody knows if some fool might sneak over in the middle of the night.
Of course, besides protecting their safety, Xiong Da's presence here also served another purpose...
Night was falling.
The firelight in the center of the tent shifted from bright to soft, enveloping the interior space in a warm orange glow.
The wind and snow outside seemed to have intensified, and the "whooshing" sound of the cold wind whistling through the tent flap could be heard.
Shen Yunhao sat on the soft couch, took off the vine from his wrist, and was about to call out Qing Teng to ask the little girl to help relieve the nameless fire that the little fox had stirred up during the day.
Just as my fingers touched the vines, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Yunhao paused, then looked up.
The curtain was lifted, and Xiong Da's head poked into the tent, a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile on his face:
"Young Master Shen, you haven't rested yet?"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback: "Bear... Protector Bear?"
"Hey! No need to be so polite with me!" Xiong Da strode in, waved his hand, and grinned, "Given your relationship with Miss, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Xiong!"
"Uh..." Shen Yunhao scratched his head and had no choice but to comply, "Brother Xiong!"
Xiong Da was very happy. "Miss instructed me to protect the young master's safety. I'll just sit here tonight. Will that be enough to disturb you?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
What do you think?
But seeing the pure smile on the other person's face, Shen Yunhao couldn't bring himself to tell them to leave. Helplessly, he silently wrapped the vines back around his wrist and sighed.
"How can we sit here all night? Why don't we have them prepare another bed..."
"No need, no need!" Xiong Da waved his hands repeatedly, plopped down on the carpet as if a small mountain had landed on him, "The demon race doesn't have so many fuss! They can sleep on the ground, and besides, this carpet is quite warm, it's fine!"
As he spoke, he actually adjusted his posture, leaning against the tent pole, crossing his arms over his chest, closing his eyes, and striking a pose as if he could fall asleep at any moment.
"..."
Okay.
What else could he say?
"Well... Brother Xiong, please make yourself at home. I'll rest now."
"Sleep soundly, young master! With me here, I guarantee not even a mosquito will be able to get in!"
Shen Yunhao shook his head helplessly, took off his outer robe, and lay down on the bed.
The moment I closed my eyes, a gloating voice echoed in my mind:
"Oh dear... I'm so annoyed! I have so much energy to burn, what should I do?"
Shen Yunhao ignored him.
The voice persisted, continuing in a teasing tone, "I think this bear is alright, strong and virile, how about... you two make do?"
"..."
Such an outrageous statement could only have come from some broken vine.
“Let me tell you something!” Mo Yan lowered her voice, “These demons are all very honest, they… ooh ooh ooh ooh…”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yunhao had already twisted the vines on his wrist into a pretzel with a blank expression.
Mo Yan: "..."
A speechless silence followed in the soul connection.
Qing Teng, caught in the crossfire for no reason: "╥﹏╥"
After interrupting the other party's spellcasting, Shen Yunhao held the vines up to his eyes and transmitted his voice, "Where did you go? Didn't you say you were coming? You don't care at all about your brother's life or death, do you?"
