The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 161: So Fragile
Crystal clear tears rolled down the woman's cheeks.

Xiao Baojing was standing nearby, and saw wisps of golden light entering her body.

She actually forgot that sending an old friend home is also a good deed and can accumulate merit!

With the power of merit filling his body, Xiao Baojing vaguely saw two paths appear in his sea of consciousness:

One path leads to the human race. With the power of abundant merit, she can directly transform into a human being and become a member of the human race completely, with flesh and blood like humans, and participate in the cycle of life and death. She no longer needs to be expelled by demon hunters, nor will she be discriminated against and hated by people like Xiao Nanjia.

The other path leads to the demon clan. After practicing dual cultivation with Shang Bingjiu, she has abundant spiritual power. Now she can become an even more powerful demon. Even without relying on the peddler, she can survive in the land of eternal night with her own abilities and walk fearlessly in the human world.

Which one did she choose?
Ever since she became conscious in this world, she has been walking from Furong Town to Yejing with the goal of cultivating herself into a human being.

Even thousands of years ago, when she was still an orange tree with a newly born spirit, she envied those little human girls and wanted to jump and dance in the spring sun like them.

But when the pedal was actually placed in front of her, she unexpectedly hesitated.

The image of a thin and strong figure in a Taoist robe and hairpin with flowers could not be erased from my mind, and the scene of the wedding ceremony in the Demon God Temple was still vivid in my mind.

If she becomes a human, does it mean that she and the peddler will no longer have any intersection or ending?

Before Xiao Baojing made a decision, a majestic voice came from the side: "Thank you, young lady, for sending your beloved son and daughter home. This is a small reward as a token of gratitude. Please accept it."

Xiao Baojing looked over and saw that the man was wearing a dark purple official robe, so he thought he must be the prime minister of Eastern Wei.

She received the reward and was about to leave when Prime Minister Li looked at her for a long while and suddenly said, "Miss, you have come from a long way, sleeping in the open air and traveling by boat. You must be very tired. Why don't you stay at your house for a few days?"

Xiao Baojing got straight to the point: "Prime Minister Li, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Prime Minister Li chuckled twice, stroked his beard and said, "Miss, please spare me a moment to talk."

study.

Xiao Baojing opened his eyes wide: "You want me to replace your daughter and enter the palace for the selection?!"

"I have only one concubine daughter, who was supposed to be selected for the imperial palace this year. However, she was stubborn and eloped with a scholar a few days ago." Prime Minister Li sighed, "I cannot report to the court, so I want to adopt her as my adopted daughter and have her selected for the imperial palace in three days."

Xiao Baojing was indignant: "Your daughter ran away, and you want me to marry this old man?! You are so ungrateful!"

"No, no, no!" Prime Minister Li waved his hands hurriedly, "Miss, there is no need to feel wronged. This selection is for the prince. The prince has just passed the age of twenty. He was a fool before. I don't know why he suddenly regained his consciousness a few years ago. He has red lips, white teeth and a handsome face. He is like a fox spirit in the mountains. He was a rare handsome young man at that time! If you can marry the prince, you will not lose out!"

Xiao Baojing: "..."

Red lips, white teeth, handsome face, vixen...

Why does she sound so much like a peddler?

She asked, "What is your prince's name?"

"Cen Wuzhao."

Xiao Baojing: "..."

She remembered the three male protagonists that Xiao Nanjia wanted to conquer, namely Chao Yuan, the imperial preceptor of Southern Tang, Yue Li, the master of Paradise Palace, and Cen Wuzhao, the crown prince of Eastern Wei.

It is known that Chao Yuan and Yue Li are both the peddler's clones, and it is not ruled out that Cen Wuzhao is also one of the clones.

There were a total of twelve peddlers who escaped from the Great Wall of Demons. According to the expression pack she saw on the dice, one of them should be "idiot".

Could it be that Cen Wuzhao is the “idiot”?
Later, Lan Ru and others devoured the remaining clones, and the peddler devoured Lan Ru and others in the land of eternal night, so he also had the identity of Cen Wuzhao, and he could completely use this identity to walk in the human world.

Xiao Baojing took a deep breath.

In other words, her newly married husband is selecting a concubine among the people!

What happened to the vows of love?
Xiao Baojing really wanted to strangle the peddler to death!

She said with a smile: "Does he want to choose a concubine? Well, send me to the palace!" Prime Minister Li didn't know why she suddenly agreed, but it was a good thing for the Li family after all, so he went to prepare for the recognition ceremony.

Three days later.

Xiao Baojing entered the palace with other concubines.

They were all pampered jewels of the officials' families in Kyoto, about twenty in total. Led by Palace Nanny, they nervously crossed the palace alleys and headed to Chuxiu Palace to prepare for the selection on the second day.

The Eastern Wei regime adopted an attitude of rather killing a thousand by mistake than letting one go towards monsters and ghosts, so the demon-slayer's talismans and cinnabar peach wood swords were posted everywhere in the palace, making it difficult for ordinary monsters to survive.

Thanks to Shang Bingjiu, Xiao Baojing's spiritual power increased dramatically after practicing dual cultivation with him. Now, as the demon queen, she only felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, you have a fever."

At dusk, a light drizzle fell outside the window.

The young lady who shared the room with her saw Xiao Baojing's flushed cheeks and couldn't help but touch her forehead worriedly.

"I'm fine..."

Xiao Baojing was lying on the couch. When he opened his eyes, he saw the yellow paper talisman pasted in the room.

A feeling of nausea came over her, and she turned her head away uncomfortably: "I'll be fine after a while of sleep."

"Then go to sleep. I'll put down the curtain for you." The young maid lowered the curtain with concern and turned to the other maids playing by the window. "Hush, let's keep the noise down!"

The bedroom became quiet.

Xiao Baojing was in a daze with a fever, his fair fingertips tightly hooked on the quilt.

Dreams rise and fall.

In the desolate wilderness, a young man in a Taoist robe and a flowery hairpin showed his fluffy tail. He jumped and hopped around the orange tree like a wild fox, shouting mischievously: "I want to choose a concubine, I want to choose a concubine! I'll piss you off to death, I'll piss you off to death!"

Xiao Baojing: "..."

She was dizzy with fever and tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

She whispered hoarsely and aggrievedly: "Too bad..."

A gust of wind blew out the candles in the bedroom.

The dog's shadow sneaked into the tent silently and gradually transformed into a figure sitting cross-legged beside the pillow.

The young man was wearing a dark black brocade robe with a round collar and a dragon pattern, revealing the white collar of his inner garment. His black hair was half tied up with a golden hairpin with a coiled dragon pattern. When he leaned forward and lowered his head, a few strands of hair fell to the corners of his forehead, outlining his beautiful facial features of high nose and thin lips.

He touched Xiao Baojing's forehead with the tip of his cool nose.

very hot.

The boy touched her nose with his nose again, and finally kissed her lips in the human way.

A powerful demonic aura was transferred into her mouth.

The abnormal blush on the girl's cheeks faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shang Bingjiu reached his hand out of his sleeve and covered her forehead. The temperature of her forehead was gradually returning to normal.

"How squeamish."

He smiled, his fox eyes curved with full of doting.

He wanted to leave, but his nose was filled with the unique sweet and sour fragrance of the girl. In the end, he couldn't bear to leave, so he crawled into her quilt, held her in his arms, kissed and licked her again and again, and finally greedily opened his mouth to hold her head.

　You guys go to sleep first!!
