Chapter 330
Yu Xi vaguely felt that Gu An seemed to be in a bad mood.
Every time she looked at Gu An, Gu An would look back at her with a smile, but as soon as she looked away, Gu An would have no expression and even speak much less.
After successfully swimming across the underground river, Yu Xi shook his sleeves to shake off the few drops of water on them.
Their clothes are all specially refined and are usually invulnerable to swords and guns, as well as water and fire.
Just the hair, ears and tail are wet.
She shook off the water on her body, swung her tail and waited for the air to dry naturally. She walked sideways to Gu An, wanting to ask him what was wrong. But as soon as she approached, she heard Gu An say in his heart:
[I think I dropped a piece of clothing that was drying outside when I went out. If it rains, it'll be terrible. The birds should be able to help me collect the clothes, but they didn't... well, forget it.]
[This underground river is so cold and stuffy. I'm worried my sister might be uncomfortable. However, this environment is suitable for growing mushrooms and some precious herbs. I can sell the harvest and buy beautiful jewelry for my sister.]
[This time we should kill all the cultivators in Yaoling Valley. Leaving any trouble behind will be very troublesome. I wonder if there will be a chance for me to show my skills. I'll fold a wreath for my senior sister.]
Yu Xi: “…”
She was really overthinking it. Gu An didn't look like he was in a bad mood at all.
However, his mental activities were too erratic. In the last second, he was still worried about the clothes confiscated in the Demon Realm, and in the next second, he wanted to kill all the monks in the Yaoling Valley.
"Sister?"
Seeing Yu Xi coming over, Gu An's eyes lit up slightly, and he pulled her aside and said with concern:
"Senior sister, you are very good at water skills. When did you learn this? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Xi shook her head and was about to answer when Gu An started talking first:
"I learned to swim on the way to see my senior sister. There was a long river at the time, and I was accidentally swept under while looking for a bridge. After that, I learned to swim without any teacher. But I didn't expect that my senior sister seemed to be better at swimming than me."
Gu An spoke calmly, but Yu Xi listened nervously.
Gu An seldom tells others about his experience on the way to find Yu Xi, but the occasional words he says can show his hard work.
"It all sounds too dangerous."
Yu Xi sighed.
Before Gu An could say anything, she stepped forward, raised her hand and used magic to dry Gu An's hair.
Gu An is eight years older than her and much taller than her.
Seeing that she wanted to touch his hair, Gu An squatted down and obediently put his head where Yu Xi's hand could reach.
Yu Xi untied his hair crown and tied his hair up again.
In this life, she was in the demon world, and she was covered in scars when Gu An found her. What about her previous life?
When Gu An found her in her previous life, she was about to die. What did Gu An experience during that period?
She had no way of knowing.
She had never done anything for Gu An, but in the end, Gu An went to Xuyun Sect to kill for her.
Gu An noticed Yu Xi's self-blame and couldn't help but laugh:
"Senior Sister, I'm fine."
He hugged his knees, raised his head slightly, his amber eyes were gentle and moist, and he said with a smile:
"I came here with the hope that I would find my senior sister one day. Even if this road is difficult and bumpy, it is the best path for me."
What if he had to endure a little hardship? He had to find his senior sister.
Yu Xi pursed her lips, raised her hand and knocked him on the forehead: "You are also a stupid brother. I wanted to say it before. When you jumped into the flower's mouth, I really wanted to beat you up."
Seeing Gu An was stunned, she paused, lowered her eyes slightly, and whispered in Gu An's ear: "Whether you believe it or not, a big reason why I chose to become a demon is because of you, Brother An, you have to be well. No matter what you do, protect yourself first."
Her first wish in this life was to protect Gu An.
Gu An didn't expect Yu Xi to say that.
As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, she was carried away by Zhong Xian.
The two of them were whispering here, while Su Xianyun and Zhong Xian were full of resentment. Shu Nanzhi was so scared that he didn't dare to talk to them and quickly led the way.
Zhong Xian carried the person away, and while following Shu Nanzhi who was leading the way, he and Su Xianyun carefully wiped the wet fur on Yu Xi's body.
Using magic to clean directly would damage the hair too much, so the two of them dried it manually and then dried it with controlled air. In a few seconds, Yu Xi became a fluffy ball again.
As expected, Zhong Xian kissed her fiercely.
Only Su Xianyun was a little reserved, just holding Yu Xi's tail and stroking it tightly, refusing to let go.
Those who knew them thought they were here to rescue people, while those who didn’t thought they were here for a picnic.
As for Jizhi, he had lost his human form after being dragged out from underwater by Zhongxian. He drank a lot of water along the way and was crawling on the ground in a twisted manner, wishing he could be bitten by Zhongxian first.
After Yu Xi looked over, she finally became a little normal. She got up and whimpered to complain to Yu Xi, and was successfully patted on the head by Yu Xi.
Gu An walked quietly at the end, watching the people in front making noise while walking, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on Zhong Xian who was holding Yu Xi.
He couldn't understand what Zhong Xian said before.
His value?
His value lies in staying by Yu Xi's side.
Zhong Xian also said that he wanted to live for Yu Xi, so Zhong Xian is the same as him.
But judging from what Zhong Xian said, he seemed to be trying to express that he had overlooked something.
After listening to Yu Xi's words just now, he seemed to understand a little bit.
It seems that protecting himself can also make Yu Xi happy?
But protecting himself is not as important as protecting Yu Xi.
Gu An was walking at the end, lost in thought, while Shu Nanzhi, who was walking in the front, had a blank mind and was extremely frightened, but was trying hard not to show it.
Yaoling Valley is now a hell on earth.
Since she was born, she has seen her compatriots being put in burning shackles. Regardless of whether they have done anything wrong or not, they are burned beyond recognition, with scorch marks all over their bodies, and are forced to work and plant spiritual herbs.
They are tree demons, yet they have to endure the punishment of burning at the stake every day.
The natural environment was destroyed and no new tree demons were born. In order to prevent poisonous weeds from polluting the soil and causing a reduction in the production of spiritual herbs, the poisons were transferred to the surviving tree demons.
Some tree demons are covered in insect bites and mold when they die. Poisonous insects will crawl out of their twisted branches and bodies if touched. Being burned to death is actually a relief.
She had finally escaped from Yaoling Valley and hid in the holy land. She should have listened to her grandfather and never come back.
But there were monks everywhere outside the holy land, she couldn't escape, and her grandfather's vitality was getting weaker and weaker.
In order to save her grandfather, she must go back.
But once caught...
Seeing the light source getting closer and closer, she held her breath and clenched her trembling hands. Just as she was about to cheer herself up, her hands were suddenly wrapped by something soft. When she turned her head, she saw Yu Xi had walked to her side without her knowing when.
"Don't be afraid."
Yu Xi looked at her, his dark yet bright eyes seemed to be able to drive away the darkness. He held her hand tightly and encouraged her:
"Although I'm not the demon god you're talking about, we're very powerful and will definitely help you rescue your family. Just leave your grandfather to us!"
