After I left, the devil was distraught

Chapter 62

Xiaotuanzi sniffed, and carefully rubbed against Xueqiong's arms.

After a long time, he shook his head and whispered, "It's okay...I'm just a little sleepy."

There was tenderness in Xueqiong's eyes, she gently patted Xiaotuanzi and said softly: "It's fine, the food will be ready soon, sleep after eating?"

"En." Xiaotuanzi nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Liu Fengmian at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly changed the subject and said, "Xue Qiong, let's get down to business first."

"Okay." Xueqiong nodded slightly, and put Xiaotuanzi back on the stool.

He looked back at Liu Fengmian again, and said seriously: "Brother Fengmian, what exactly is the evil thing you mentioned in your letter? Have you figured it out?"

When it came to business, Liu Fengmian also looked serious at the moment, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not clear what Xie Chong is, but that thing is definitely not kind. In just three days, he killed eight servant girls in the palace. Friend, and the method is extremely terrifying."

Considering that Xiaotuanzi next to him was just a milk doll after all, Liu Fengmian coughed twice and lowered his voice before continuing: "Ahem ~ the dead have been skinned, let alone distinguishing which is which, those corpses are not even male and female. Difficult to tell."

"What's even more frightening is that eight dead bodies have been found so far, but after counting the number of people in the palace, there are only seven missing."

"This means that the evil creature is still in the palace, wearing dead skin to hide its aura. It's very hard to find. There are many Taoist priests and monks gathered in Prince Hui's mansion, but nothing has been found so far."

Xue Qiong couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, and her heart sank a bit. It was easy to catch an ordinary monster with his current magic power, but this evil creature was so cunning that he even put on human skin to hide his breath. , is simply invisible.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the palace to see tomorrow, there will always be a way."

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow morning." Liu Fengmian nodded his head, paused, and then said hastily, "By the way, I haven't had time to tell you yet, my master will come tomorrow, probably in the afternoon."

Speaking of this, Liu Fengmian was a little embarrassed: "...my master once vowed to kill all evil spirits in the world. I persuaded him for many years but it was useless, so...we should leave the palace early when the time comes. , so as not to encounter and fight again..."

"Okay." Xueqiong nodded, not caring about the matter.

Liu Fengmian was still a little embarrassed, and was about to say a few more words to ease the embarrassment, but unfortunately there was a knock on the door.

"It should be Xiaoer who came to deliver the food." Xueqiong got up, went to open the door, and quickly returned to the table with the food box.

Xiao Tuanzi was already a little drowsy when he heard the two talking about the matter, but at this moment, when he saw the food, he woke up for the most part, and was looking at the sauced beef on the table with burning eyes.

Xue Qiong laid out the meals on the table one by one, and invited Liu Fengmian very naturally: "Brother Fengmian hasn't eaten yet, why don't you stay and eat together."

Hearing this, Liu Fengmian immediately wanted to nod very bluntly in response, but instantly met Xiaotuanzi's threatening eyes.

Xiaotuanzi's small brows were tightly frowned, and in a direction that Xueqiong couldn't see, he squinted his eyes slightly to look at Liu Fengmian, and said to him very vindictively: No way!

"..." Liu Fengmian was speechless for a moment, but he was tightly manipulated by Xiaotuanzi in front of him. Although he was a little annoyed, he finally shook his head.

"No, no, I just ate, and I also ate beef, and I'm very full." He forced an awkward smile, and then got up and walked out the door: "You guys eat first, I'll eat it first." gone back."

"Okay, then I won't keep Brother Fengmian." Xue Qiong nodded and said.

Watching Liu Fengmian leave, he looked back at Xiaotuanzi, and said softly, "You're starving, eat quickly."

"Yeah!" Xiaotuanzi's innocent face had recovered at this time, and she nodded obediently upon hearing this.

He picked up the chopsticks and eagerly picked up a piece of beef, but put it in the bowl in front of Xueqiong, and said crisply: "Xueqiong eat first."

Xue Qiong couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, and quickly realized that he should have followed Liu Fengmian's example to call him that way.

He nodded with a normal face, but there was already a wave in his heart.

Ember called him Xueqiong again, but now he no longer remembers the past, as if he was reborn, and he just learned from others to call him like this.

Concealing the sadness in her heart, Xueqiong stopped looking at Xiaotuanzi, but slowly picked up the piece of beef and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.

After all... the Sri Lankan is dead.

He thought he was hiding it well, but in fact Xiaotuanzi noticed the blush in the corner of his eyes.

Feeling Xueqiong's sadness, Xiaotuanzi felt a little sad in his heart.

In the past years, there were quite a few people who bullied him, but he never really cared about them. He never cared about them until the moment he met Xue Qiong, everything changed.

It seemed that he lived for his beautiful brother.

"Xueqiong, that Taoist bullied me when you were not around just now, he said you were going to throw me away!"

His eyes were wet, and he looked quite aggrieved and said, "Xueqiong, are you really going to lose me?"

In order to make his beautiful brother no longer feel sad, Xiaotuanzi sold Liu Fengmian out of nowhere.

----

After eating, Xueqiong took Xiaotuanzi to practice for two hours.

It got dark quickly, and the servant brought hot water on time.

"Guest officer, here comes the hot water you asked for!" The servant knocked on the door and shouted.

On the couch, Xueqiong suddenly opened her eyes.

He quickly closed the barrier, got up and opened the door, and said, "Send it in, just put it behind the screen."

Two servants carried a large bucket of hot water behind the screen and left.

After closing the door, Xueqiong picked up Xiaotuanzi on the couch and went behind the screen, then stripped Xiaotuanzi and carried her into the bathtub.

Although it was not the first time, Xiaotuanzi was still a little uncomfortable being stripped naked and bathed like this.

His cheeks were red, and he tightened his hands carefully, not daring to look at Xue Qiong with his legs.

Xue Qiong was amused by his actions and couldn't help chuckling: "It's not the first time washing, why are you blushing?"

"It's nothing..." Xiaotuanzi lowered his head and said sullenly.

After a pause, he opened his eyes wide and looked up at Xueqiong, and asked timidly, "Xueqiong, can we be masters and apprentices?"

"...Master and apprentice..." Xue Qiong couldn't help but startled when she heard the words, and said dumbly, "Why...you have this idea?"

Although he was smarter than ordinary children, Xiaotuanzi was still a child at this time. He couldn't make up a reasonable reason, so he had to answer carefully and honestly:

"I just want to get closer to Xueqiong, and Xueqiong can't easily leave me as a master and apprentice."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly asked again: "Is it okay...Xueqiong?

Seeing the innocent look on Xiaotuanzi's face, Xueqiong couldn't help sighing, and understood that he was always restless.

For the little embers at this time, the past and the past are long gone, he has no idea of ​​the existence of those things in the past, and now...he is the only one who is obsessed with the past.

Maybe he should let it go, so what's the matter with master and apprentice, besides, they get along like master and apprentice now.

After a long time, Xueqiong said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, then you can't call me by my name directly in the future, you have to call... Master."

"Master?" Xiaotuanzi repeated subconsciously, his face soon became happy, and he called out joyfully, "Master!"

At this moment, Ember would never know how many obstacles his actions would create in the future.

"En." Xueqiong nodded, paused, and asked hoarsely, "Do you have a name?"

"No." Xiaotuanzi shook his head very honestly.

Xue Qiong looked at the smiling Xiaotuanzi in front of her, hiding the slight sadness in her eyes.

After a long time, he said softly, "Then you will be called... Ember."

Xiaotuanzi didn't seem to have a good impression of this name, so he said anxiously: "Why is it called Ember, master, can I have the same surname as you? I also want to be surnamed Xue."

Xue Qiong couldn't help being stunned when she heard that, she pursed her lips and said, "No, besides, my surname is not Xue, my surname is Bai, and my name is Xue Qiong."

"Then my surname is Bai too, okay?" Xiao Tuanzi asked softly while carefully pulling La Xueqiong's hand.

"No." Xue Qiong shook her head: "You are embers."

This sentence was said to Xiaotuanzi, and it was also said by Xueqiong to herself.

Seeing that there was probably no room for negotiation, Xiao Tuanzi didn't continue to ask.

He nodded obediently, and then called out curiously: "Master?"

"Mmm." Xue Qiong responded in a gentle voice.

Before the water was cold, Xueqiong took the time to help him take a bath, then dried him and carried him back to the couch.

With the water that Xiaotuanzi had washed, he also wiped his body casually and got on the couch.

Xiaotuanzi was really sleepy at the moment, carefully squeezed Xueqiong's sleeves, half-closed her eyes and called Master, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Sleep obediently." Xue Qiong gently helped him close the quilt, and then extinguished the candle.

In the darkness, he couldn't help being a little lost in thought.

He thought that this is fine now, all grievances and enmities are gone, and it is time for everything in the past to come to an end.

When Ember grows up, and after he recovers his previous cultivation level and takes charge of the Demon Realm, he will retire and leave his world completely.

At that time, he will go back to the demon world to find his parents.

After so many years, he should go back to the demon world to have a look.

----

The next day, the two big ones and one small went to Prince Hui's mansion after breakfast early in the morning.

The palace was very lively, there were already many Taoist priests and eminent monks, but their eyes were dark, obviously they hadn't slept all night.

Xue Qiong led Xiao Ember into the palace slowly, and everyone just nodded slightly when they saw it, but there was no reaction. It was self-evident whether they had real skills or not.

King Hui quickly walked over, also with a tired face, followed by a seductive woman, who must be his concubine.
