Li Zang smiled widely and said, "The Lord has sent Master Gong Ci to the underworld."
Originally thought, Ming Ye just skinned and dismembered the snake demon, unexpectedly, the news that came in the evening made Jiu Xi's scalp tingle. The demon world disappeared... The entire demon palace was flooded with blood... And Ming Ye came back covered in blood.
The purple gown was covered in bloodstains and wrinkles. The blood slowly flowed down Mingye's sword onto the ground, leaving a chill in the air. At this moment, Jiuxi was sitting on a stool in her outer robe, flipping through pages of a book from time to time. Only when she heard a noise at the door did she shift her gaze from the book to the man who looked like a Shura in the dark night.
Jiuxi took a breath in surprise. What kind of person was that? There were dried bloodstains on his clothes, and even his handsome face was covered with blood beads. His eyes were cold and deep, looking at her quietly. His whole body was filled with fierce murderous aura, and he was obviously in a hurry. Even his black hair was a little messy. In fact, Mingye would not be able to come back for two days. Although he had destroyed the Demon Palace, the snake demon from that day was not found. He was determined to cut the snake demon into pieces, but Li Zang asked Yanfeng to pass on the news that Jiuxi had woken up.
Nothing else mattered anymore, nothing mattered except her.
There was no expression in her eyes, neither sad nor happy, and she lowered her eyes again, looking at the unfinished book. Seeing her so cold and indifferent reaction, the stars in Mingye's eyes gradually dimmed. He stretched out his hand, and the book in Jiuxi's hand quickly fell into Mingye's hands. Mingye glanced at her frown, slowed down his movements, and tore the book page by page. Only the cold sound of tearing books echoed in his ears, and there was even a bit of success in Mingye's eyes.
He just wanted her to look at him seriously. He didn't need any praise, but her warm words.
However, he seemed to have underestimated her ability.
Jiuxi simply stood up and took out a book from the bookcase next to her. This bookcase was just moved in. Mingye heard that she liked to read storybooks, so he asked Li Zang to go to the human world and buy a large basket of them and bring them back.
But now, she would rather read those useless books than take her eyes off him.
His gaze slowly fixed, and the next moment, his mind was on her side. He pulled her shoulders towards him, glaring at Jiuxi with cold eyes, and said, "You... don't want to see me so much?"
The well-bandaged wound was accidentally pressed by him and started bleeding. The white blood was tinged with red, which seemed to burn his eyes. He slowed down his pressure with some heartache, but still looked at her stubbornly.
Jiuxi closed the book, his eyes calm, rippling with endless coldness, "Jiuxi congratulates the Corpse King on his triumphant return."
Although she knew that this was not what he wanted, she was not qualified... not qualified to stand by his side, because she had the Five Elements Spirit Pearl in her body, which was his death warrant.
He can indeed make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand, and he can indeed destroy the demon world overnight, but if the immortal world comes to him with all its might... no matter how powerful he is, he will still be no match for four hands. This has been a truth since ancient times.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her heartless eyes, his eyes gradually filled with waves of heartache. His hands fell down weakly and said, "You know this is not what I want!"
Jiuxi pulled out two more books and said nonchalantly, "Whatever your Majesty wants, Jiuxi will tell you. I can't play this kind of guessing game, and I don't want to play it."
