Embers of Sword

Chapter 37 Unscrupulous Swordsman
Finish this sentence.

Jialiu cut off the connection.

Xie Xuanyi exited the spiritual state again... This spiritual treasure refined by the Demon Country has an extremely strict hierarchy.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be centered around the "Great Venerable". Whether it's the Venerable or the spy, they are just part of the spider web built by the treasure.

The stronger your strength and the higher your status, the greater your authority in this soul spider web.

Person A6 can take the initiative to initiate a "call" with Person B3, and can also cut off the call at any time.

But as a subordinate, Yisan can only accept and obey the arrangements of his superiors.

"The handover date is set for three days later..."

Xie Xuanyi leaned against the stone wall, lost in thought.

According to what that venerable said, Jialiu will enter the city tomorrow... A practitioner of this level must know the importance of the "Bai Ze Finger Bone". Under this circumstance, the handover should be completed this morning.

But Jialiu was not in a hurry and set the time for three days later.

It's so weird.

"This guy deliberately stayed for three days. Is he planning something for me?"

Xie Xuanyi didn't have a good feeling in his heart.

It would be terrible if Jialiu was really a cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm.

It was very difficult for me to kill Xu You, who was at the Qi Controlling Realm.

After using up two Qingyuan Pills, with the amount of vitality he has now, the possibility of killing a person in the Dongtian realm is almost zero.

……

……

"Morning."

Deng Baiyi had the best sleep she had ever had and felt refreshed when she woke up.

But after pulling open the bed curtains.

She looked a little strange.

The room was small and had only one table, which was now filled with Lichao City's special snacks, including trays of steamed dumplings, hot soy milk, and soft and glutinous boneless spareribs in black bean sauce.

What she found most outrageous.

It was the very unfamiliar Xie Zhen in front of him.

Xie Zhen got a small stove from somewhere and was fanning the fire to cook the casserole porridge.

"woke up?"

Xie Xuanyi greeted him lightly.

"Um...what are you doing?"

Deng Baiyi rubbed his brows and wondered, "Didn't you say that I'm the maid and you're the master?"

How can it be reasonable for a master to prepare breakfast for a maid?

She subconsciously reached out to grab the steaming bun.

There was a snap.

Xie Xuanyi slapped Deng Baiyi's hand away in annoyance.

"Miss Deng, you are still my maid."

Xie Xuanyi smiled helplessly and said, "You don't think these things are prepared for you, do you?"

Deng Baiyi: “???”

If it's not for myself, then who is it for? Who else is it for?
The next moment she understood.

A little girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed sniffed hard with the tip of her nose, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, and jumped up. Although her legs were inconvenient, it was not a hindrance at all. She "rolled" to the table in one breath and started to eat heartily.

Deng Baiyi was stunned.

Jiang Huang's eyes sparkled as she concentrated on the food in front of her... This was the most satisfying meal she had had in all the days she had followed Xie Xuanyi.

When I followed Xie Xuanyi from Beijun to Qingzhou, there was no place to rest along the way and the conditions were really difficult. Although I didn't go hungry for nine meals in three days, I had to eat dry food for every meal.

Although the little one is not picky, who can resist delicious food?
“Is this guy the reincarnation of Taotie?”

Deng Baiyi had never seen a child who ate so much. Jiang Huang's meal might have almost caught up with what she ate in three days.

How can this be called a little cotton-padded jacket? This is clearly a big glutton!
"gluttonous..."

Xie Xuanyi smiled helplessly.

Taotie is indeed powerful, and in a sense can be considered a descendant of dragon blood...but Jiang Huang's bloodline is not inferior at all!

Although no one knew what Jiang Huang had been through in the Imperial City over the years, the concentration of phoenix blood in her body was much stronger than when Xie Xuanyi first met her...

The legendary "True Phoenix" has become extinct from this world and no longer exists.

But maybe one day in the future, this little guy can become an alien phoenix!
"Eat carefully, don't burn yourself."

Xie Xuanyi brought the casserole porridge to the table, sat opposite Jiang Huang, and asked carefully: "How does this meal taste?"

"Good times, good times!"

Jiang Huang, who got up from a drowsy sleep to eat, also spoke in a drowsy voice.

Xie Xuanyi smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

Jiang Huang's dazed eyes suddenly widened into a round shape.

She felt something was wrong.

"Like...can I like it?"

The little guy was a little wary.

"of course."

Xie Xuanyi nodded seriously and said seriously: "If you like to eat it, you can have it every day in the future."

Jiang Huang looked at Xie Xuanyi with suspicion.

it is more than words.

"what is this?"

Xie Xuanyi was still smiling: "You call me dad and mom every day, how can I treat you badly?"

Jiang Huang remained silent.

She looked at the mess on the table and quickly picked up the freshly baked casserole porridge.

As a top demon with phoenix blood flowing in her body...she is certainly not afraid of high temperatures.

Deng Baiyi had a complicated expression as she watched Jiang Huang drink up the entire pot of boiling hot porridge.

belch!
A doubtful burp—

When flames were about to burst out of Jiang Huang's throat, he quickly stretched out his hands and covered his mouth.

She remembered Xie Xuanyi's instructions to her.

If there is a third person present, you are not allowed to call Xie Xuanyi by his real name without permission.

You are also not allowed to use abilities related to "fire", even in front of Sister Deng Baiyi.

Although Jiang Huang's soul was severely damaged after escaping from the imperial city, and her intelligence dropped to the level of a seven or eight-year-old child...she was still very obedient and well-behaved.

After a while, she slowed down and asked quietly, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"so smart."

Xie Xuanyi whispered, "Sister Baiyi is practicing these days... She needs to borrow a few strands of your hair. Sister Baiyi is so kind to you, you definitely won't have the heart to refuse, right?"

Deng Baiyi was stunned again: "???"

Although she guessed it from the beginning.

Xie Zhen, who carefully prepared this breakfast, definitely had no good intentions.

But she really didn't expect that this guy would use her as a "shield".

Jiang Huang nodded desperately.

She looked at Deng Baiyi, then at Xie Xuanyi, and blinked, "So... I only need to give a few strands of hair?"

"If it's convenient, add some other things."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "It might hurt a little bit."

Jiang Huang shook his head and said seriously: "For Sister Bai Yi, I can not be afraid of pain."

Hearing this, Deng Baiyi couldn't hold it anymore.

She dragged Xie Xuanyi out of the guest room and came to the corridor, angrily saying: "Mr. Xie, why didn't I see before that you are so unscrupulous!"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can't you tell the truth about borrowing a few strands of hair?" Deng Baiyi put her hands on her hips and said, "Also, do you have the nerve to lie to a seven-year-old girl?"

Seven years old...

The corner of Xie Xuanyi's mouth twitched slightly.

Jiang Huang’s actual age is probably much older than himself and Deng Baiyi combined.

"Congratulations, you've seen my true self. I've always been this kind of person, I'll do anything to achieve my goals, and cheating a little girl is nothing to me."

Xie Xuanyi shrugged, not taking it seriously: "...Look, isn't she very happy now? Everyone is happy."

Deng Baiyi was speechless for a moment.

"Even so."

She was still annoyed and said, "Why do you need to use my name to borrow a few strands of hair?"

"Because it's not me who wants to borrow the hair, but you."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "In a sense, the breakfast just now was not made for Jiang Huang, but for you... You are grateful for what you have received, and you are soft-hearted when you eat. Only when the little guy is happy, you can successfully pluck some hair."

Deng Baiyi was stunned.

"You have already learned the Purity Talisman and the Oneness Talisman. From today on, I will teach you a great formation."

Xie Xuanyi raised a finger and said slowly: "A formation that can kill people across borders and is included in the taboo boundaries of the Great Chu Emperor Law!"
