Just looking at her back, the woman was full of charming and charming thoughts. She neatly placed the onions, ginger, and garlic on the cutting board on the blade of the kitchen knife. She turned around and was about to spread the onions, ginger, and garlic on the blade into the large iron pot.
The woman turned around and faced Balian's wet eyes.
Their eyes met each other and they were speechless.
Shuci: "..."
Balian: "..."
The hot water in the iron pot has boiled and is bubbling.
not good!
This piece of 'meat' actually woke up so quickly.
Not even cooked yet.
With a guilty look on her face, Shu Ci hurriedly hid the kitchen knife and onions, ginger, and garlic in her hands behind her back. She hooked up her cloth shoes and hurriedly hid the chopping board on the ground under her skirt.
"You...you're awake."
Bailian narrowed his eyes and looked at the patched floral linen clothes on Shu Ci's body.
His pupils were dark and wet from the heat. There was no expression on his face as he stared at Shu Ci carefully.
Just when he was about to stare at Shu Ci nervously, he twitched the corner of his lips, looked up from bottom to top, and suddenly chuckled: "Little demon, you saved me again?"
That 'again' is used very subtly.
This made Shu Ci startled, and he thought, yes, this time he encountered such a catastrophe, it was she who saved him and brought him to a safe place to raise him.
What does she have to feel guilty about?
Even if two pieces of meat were cut off from his body and eaten generously, it would be nothing compared to the life-saving grace.
Shu Ci straightened his chest, raised two fingers, and said, "Yes, I saved you once again. You owe me two life-saving graces in total..."
Even if she uses her brain to move her eyes, she seems a bit dull, without any hint of dexterity.
As if arranging his words, Shuci paused, and then said in a clear tone:
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving your life. I can only repay your kindness with my body and mind. I saved you twice. In this way, you should be mine for the rest of your life."
After all, Shu Ci still knew the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
If he agreed, she would take him out of the pot and eat slowly.
"A life-saving grace?"
Balian raised his strong arms tied with hemp rope from the water.
The smile on his face faded and he said calmly: "It turns out that Miss Asu, you like to play with tied people when you save people."
Shu Ci said confidently: "You were hit by the White Immortal Tan Yuansi's Four Scenery Withering and Prosperity Technique. If you hadn't been thrown into boiling water and used Qiuwei Bai as medicine to dissolve the withered and prosperous air in your body, you would have turned into a tree by now. The tree has turned yellow and hard."
The explanation was clear and logical, but it seemed that she didn't explain at all why she had to tie up Balian's legs and hands.
Typical answer is incorrect, trying to muddle through.
She only wanted to fill her belly, so naturally she couldn't be so kind as to waste an Qiuwei Bai to help him heal.
Balian looked down at the boiling water in the iron pot, and saw several slender petals floating in the rolling water.
The temperature of this boiling water is extremely high, and the petals rolling in it are still as white as jade, as cold as fresh snow, and there is no sign of yellowing or blackening.
In the hot air, there is a refreshing light fragrance, which shows that it is really extraordinary.
Seeing this, Bailian narrowed his eyes even deeper.
The world only knows that Qiuweibai has miraculous effects in healing wounds, but few people know where this flower comes from and where it is raised in the spiritual soil.
It is also because of this that Shu Ci is confident and can speak as soon as possible.
But she didn't know that Balian happened to be one of the few people in the world who knew the origin of this flower.
As the Tianxi Sword Sect of the Three Tiandao Sects, Bailiyu was born into a noble family in the Qin Kingdom, and he especially loved to collect miscellaneous classics and rare books from the world.
Just to build the library pavilion is to open up a separate hilltop, and the collection of books is unparalleled in the world.
When Bailian was young, he was trapped in a small building in Dongli practicing and studying. Because his cultivation aptitude was mediocre, he couldn't go anywhere else.
I always have more time to read than others.
Therefore, even if ordinary people rarely read miscellaneous historical records, Bailian would often read them in his spare time.
As for Qiu Weibai, he happened to see relevant records in the fragments of one of the "Jie Xing Gui Ji".
Baillian was particularly impressed.
Just because the growth conditions and breeding method of Qiuwei Bai are extremely special.
This spiritual flower does not need to be grown in soil, nor is it planted in water. It can be hidden or visible, and it is extremely spiritual.
Balian glanced at the little demon lady with his black eyes, and suddenly chuckled:
"It turns out to be Qiu Wei Bai. You, a little demon who looks ordinary, is actually pregnant with such a treasure."
She didn't know if it was Shu Ci's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Bailian emphasized the word "mediocre" very hard, with a hidden meaning of irony.
Before Shu Ci's attack, Bailian's physical strength had gradually recovered under the nourishment of Qiu Weibai.
He used both arms to break away from the rope, put his arms on the edge of the iron pot, and looked at Shu Ci with wet eyes like a reindeer.
The sarcastic tone faded away, and there was actually a hint of sincerity in his harmless eyes.
"But I heard rumors that this Qiuweibai grows in an extremely dangerous place where evil spirits are entrenched, and has been extinct for many years."
Bai Lian looked up and down Shu Ci's patched clothes, as if he was looking at some poor white man with a humble appearance, and said: "But when I look at you, little fox demon, you don't look like the owner of a rich family with a rare treasure."
Balian looked as if he had just come to his senses. He sat up straight involuntarily and looked at Shu Ci with complicated eyes, as if he was slightly touched:
"Is it possible that in order to save me, you went to a dangerous place to get this autumn tail white for me?"
Shu Ci was startled and looked at Balian with curiosity.
She didn't even think of a reason to fool this guy, how could you convince yourself in just a few words?
Compared with her statement just now, which was full of errors and omissions and was extremely far-fetched.
Balian's explanation was obviously much more fluent, and he also imagined a very touching story of sacrificing his life for rescue, and he was very sensible and obedient.
However, this Qiuweibai is indeed said by the world to be hidden in the most dangerous place in the six realms, and ordinary people cannot find it here.
Even if one knew that there was an autumn tail white hidden here, it would be impossible to pick this flower.
Because in this world, she is the only one who can pick this flower completely.
What's more, what is difficult for people in the world is just within reach of her, it's very easy, and she doesn't have to suffer at all.
In the hands of this kid, it turned out to be a huge favor.
This is really a good deal.
She was familiar with this, and Shu Ci would obviously not let go of this opportunity to claim credit for his kindness.
The body that had held her head high just now suddenly became as soft as a boneless body, her tone suddenly became soft and pitiful, her charming eyes held a hint of mist of grievance, and she raised a lotus-white jade arm.
"But no matter what, I was born to be a good man, but why did I encounter such a troublesome person like you? It made me miss you even when I was walking or sitting down.
You have tortured yourself into such a state. How can the slave family live alone in this world? As long as you are good, the slave family is willing to suffer no matter what.
No matter how dangerous the place is, even if the slave family knows that there is no reward, they still dare to go for you, an enemy. "
She said that she knew there would be no repayment, but she rolled the word 'repay' between her lips and teeth again and again. She worded it very strongly, and her eyes were very suggestive as she stared at Bailian, but her eyes were full of affection. Pulse is pitifully tight.
I don't know when this stupid fox learned this exquisite acting skill that pokes people's hearts.
Balian knew that she was deliberately showing off her pity, and the corners of her lips were curved into a sneer, but her eyes suddenly flickered and he was attracted by her exposed arm.
I saw patches of green and red bruises on the fox demon's arms, as if they had been tortured and twisted. It was obvious that the injuries were serious, but it was not over yet.
Balian has been smelling a vague sweet scent of blood since the beginning. At first, the smell of blood was covered up by Qiu Weibai's scent, so he couldn't notice it.
Now that the medicinal effect of Qiuweibai has expired, the smell has gradually faded, and the smell of blood has become more and more obvious.
Balian lowered his eyes calmly, and sure enough he saw the little demon's cloth skirt stained with mottled blood.
A snow-white tail protruding from under the hem of his clothes hung down feebly, looking a bit weak. Only the tip of the tail was moving occasionally.
Was he really injured?
But how could she be injured? With her ability...
Bai Lian's eyes darkened.
He remembered that when she walked with her, she showed him two tails.
But now, there is only one in sight.
The fingers on the edge of the iron pot curled up unconsciously, and Balian asked: "Why do you only have one tail left?"
Shu Ci was startled again. He didn't expect that Balian's eyes were so sharp. Just now, she was trying to show off her pity to gain sympathy because of the Qiuweibai that she got easily.
At this moment, under Bai Lian's question, he didn't really want to let him know why his tail was missing.
She lifted up her skirt, hid her only remaining tail, and said calmly:
"What's one tail and two tails? I have too many tails. This skirt is too small. I don't want to have so many tails and I'll be in a hurry.
Hmm... don't change the subject. This Qiuwei Bai was hard-earned. I almost gave up half my life to pick this thing. How are you going to repay me, little one? "
Seeing that she was deliberately avoiding the tail issue, Balian didn't accept her words and thought to himself:
“Everyone in the world believes that Qiuweibai is a diluted treasure and healing elixir that can warm the soul and reshape the body.
But I know that this Qiuwei Bai is not medicine, nor is it a spiritual herb, but... a demon. "
Shu Ci straightened his back and his body suddenly stiffened.
Facing Balian's direct gaze, she turned her head away with a vacant look.
With a calm look on his face, Balian reached out a wet hand, pinched her fleshy cheek, and pulled her head back.
The fingers that had been boiled by boiling water were scalding hot, which was completely different from his usual cold body temperature.
However, Shu Ci felt the slightest danger in this completely different body temperature, and she bared her fangs.
Balian retracted his hand, bent his fingers and flicked her teeth.
He continued: "This flower is psychic. If it is not picked by the owner who cultivated it, even if it is taken by force, it will wither into ashes in an instant. It is impossible for anyone in this world to pick this flower."
Bai Lian raised his eyelids and said, "For the same reason, the only person who can pick this flower is the owner who grows the Qiuwei Bai."
Shu Ci shrank back and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Now that the matter has come to this, do you think I'm still deceiving you?"
Balian casually pulled the clothes she had thrown carelessly on the ground, put them on her body, and said calmly: "Autumn tail white, born from the fairy tail, the tail is like snow, the flowers are like jade, and the tail is white and has the color of autumn."
This demon has no roots and no spiritual appearance. It can only grow parasitically with the help of the power of the great demon.
And in this world, the only big demon in the world that can be parasitized by Qiu Weibai is the immortal fox demon Mohe, who is a fellow practitioner of both demons and demons. "
Balian looked at the woman in front of the iron pot, smiled slightly, and said: "Is what I got right, Lord Shuci?
Or... you still prefer the title I used to call you after those little demons, Mountain Demon Empress? "
Shu Ci opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself.
But the relationship between her and Bailian was like a thin layer of paper. If one party took the initiative to pierce it, it would obviously lose its meaning no matter how much she said.
She seemed a little annoyed and whispered: "Everyone knows about this unofficial chronicle. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have had to save you."
Since Balian condensed his own Corpse Beads, his physical body is no longer what it used to be, even if he suffered a critical blow from Bai Xian.
As long as his corpse is not broken into pieces, even if Shu Ci leaves it alone, he will be able to generate blood energy on his own and swallow up the withered energy bit by bit.
But this process will take a while.
But even so, Balian couldn't deny that he was indeed rescued because of her this time.
He had already put on his clothes in the water and bowed deeply to Shu Ci. The impatience and disgust he had shown when he faced the little demon Asu were gone from his face.
Very gentle and polite attitude.
Just because it is gentle, it is unkind.
Because he is polite, he is a little unfamiliar.
From beginning to end, Balian never forgot his position with the demon world.
"After several disasters, more Shuci came to the rescue. This kindness will never be forgotten."
Seeing him being so polite and courteous, Shu Ci felt an indescribable feeling of weightlessness from the bottom of her heart for some reason, making her vaguely unhappy.
This unhappiness was different from the usual one where she would cling to him all day long and ask for food but be harshly rejected.
In the past, he didn't have a good look towards her all day long, and he was never as bored as she is now.
This feeling made Shu Ci's charming and charming face become a little gloomy.
"So, your attitude is to draw a clear line between you and me?"
After all, she was Mohe Shuci who was showing off her Chengfu background. She was not ambiguous at all when she should be smart.
Bailian didn't answer, only said: "Since Lord Shuci rescued me from those immortals, he should know how much trouble I have caused, and their pursuit will not stop here.
With all due respect, Master Shuci's aura is far less powerful than it was in the Demon Realm. Your strength is now hopeless.
If you continue to struggle with me, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the fish in the pond and waste your life. "
"Bailian hereby promises that if I survive this time, I will never forget to repay you for today's great kindness."
Shu Ci shook his head and persisted: "As demons, I always ask for favors. If someone owes me something, I prefer to ask for it on the spot."
