Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Yin Xiuyu blinked, feeling strange, and asked:

"Then you just..."

Before she could finish her words, Mu Li had already held her in his arms and pushed her forward.

"Xiao Yu, a cold is no small matter. Don't you remember how sick you were after the cold rain in early autumn? Come with me and let the doctor take another look. Only then will I feel relieved."

Yin Xiuyu followed and saw Miao Li's worried expression. She ignored her previous doubts and comforted him gently:

"Okay, I'll go see the doctor. But Ali, don't worry too much. I know my body well. This is just a small matter. I just need to rest for a while."

Finally, more than ten doctors from the Demon Palace examined the patient's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, just as Yin Xiuyu had said.

She didn't get enough rest at night, was exposed to the wind during the day, and was in a bad mood, so her attack was a little scary.

Now that the conflict between them has been resolved, their mood has improved, and their physical discomfort has largely disappeared.

The doctor didn't prescribe any medicine for Yin Xiuyu.

All medicines are poisonous. If there is no need for it, it is better to recover naturally.

Yin Xiuyu just needs to have a good rest and she will be able to recover slowly.

Miao Li was relieved. He bent down to take off her shoes and socks, pressed her down on the bed in his palace, tucked in the quilt, and patiently instructed her:

"Xiao Yu, you must listen to the doctor and have a good rest. If you are angry in the future, you can vent it on me instead of holding it in and making yourself feel uncomfortable, okay?"

"Xiaoyu, I'm worried about you."

The arrogant and unruly Demon Lord had to suppress his arrogance and beg humbly when he came in front of Yin Xiuyu.

Yin Xiuyu curled up in the quilt with her eyebrows furrowed, and her hands hidden in the quilt kept digging and digging. After digging out of the quilt, she grabbed Miao Li's little finger.

"I understand, Ali~"

Her voice was soft and a little hoarse from the slight cold, like a flower petal soaked in water, with a kind of fragile beauty.

The long, coquettish ending tone when calling her lover made Mu Li's heart soften to the extreme.

He stroked her hair, his voice became gentle, and he repeated as if coaxing a child:

"Xiao Yu, if you have any worries or emotions, don't keep them to yourself. Remember to tell me, okay?"

Yin Xiuyu nodded as he meant, lowered her head, and suddenly remembered something.

She looked up, opened the hand that was holding Mu Li's little finger, and instead held his wrist.

"Ah Li, did you capture Yan Ze, the eldest disciple of Xuanyuan Sword Sect?"

A demon guard reported this to Mu Li yesterday. He was not surprised and nodded frankly:

"Correct."

Nodding, he remembered Yin Xiuyu's request of "not harming others' rights", and quickly explained:

"He broke into the Demon Palace on his own to disrupt the peace of the Demon Realm, so I caught him and imprisoned him. It wasn't unreasonable of me, so I shouldn't be considered as committing an evil deed, right?"

"Of course not."

Yin Xiuyu looked at his nervous expression and gently shook the hand that was holding his wrist.

"I know that according to the relationship between humans and demons, I should unconditionally stand on the side of the righteous monks. But I am just an ordinary person, with my own emotions, preferences and aversions."

"If it's not something that is outrageous, I would selfishly stand on the side I like."

"It's the same this time. Although Master Yan acted in a righteous way, you didn't provoke him first. I hope you can beat Master Yan rather than give in and get hurt."

After saying this, Yin Xiuyu moved her body in the quilt and leaned on Miao Li.

As if she felt that her words were not very kind, she felt ashamed and buried her face in his legs.

After hearing her words, Miao Li felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally.

He placed his hand on her back, and every word he said was sincere:

"Xiao Yu, you are not selfish at all. You are the best person in my heart."

Yin Xiuyu leaned in his arms and felt better.

From a selfish point of view, she does stand on the side of the person she likes.

But Yan Ze being locked up in the Demon Palace was not something she wanted to see.

Yin Xiuyu grasped the corner of Miao Li's clothes with both hands, supported her upper body, gently leaned on his chest, and whispered her thoughts:

"I heard from the Demon Guards that Master Yan has been arrested and imprisoned for some time. Ah Li, it is enough to lock him up for a while and give him some punishment. Can you let him out after a while?"

"I don't want to see you and Zhengdao both suffer losses, so let him go."

The hand that Mu Li held around her became slightly stiff.

If Yin Xiuyu had suggested letting Yan Ze go when he was first captured, Miao Li would have listened to her and let Yan Ze go without saying a word.

But after seeing her weak appearance (compared to the demons) again and knowing Yan Ze's peculiarities, he could no longer fulfill her wish.

"Ali?"

Yin Xiuyu looked at Miao Li's silence and pulled his sleeve.

Miao Li's eyes darkened, he quickly organized his thoughts, and slowly found reasons to explain why he couldn't let Yan Ze go.

"Xiao Yu, I can't let Yan Ze go for now. Although he didn't cause irreparable damage and loss to the Demon Palace, he did cause trouble after all."

"He came here when the demon general was rebelling. If we just let him go, it will affect the dignity of the Demon Palace."

"When the time comes, some monks who seek fame and reputation will come one after another to attack the Demon Palace."

"Even if they know that I don't have that ability, I won't lose anything anyway, and I can also gain a reputation as a fearless and righteous demon-slayer, so they will flock to me even more."

"I can't let the Demon Palace fall into that situation."

He said it with certainty, as if if Yan Ze was let go now, the Demon Palace would be plunged into endless disputes tomorrow.

But that is not the case.

The demons are warlike and quite powerful, not to mention that they now have a powerful leader like Mu Li. Weak cultivators dare not provoke them.

Even though they want to slay demons and eliminate evil, they will not come to the demon clan's base camp to cause trouble. At most, they will eliminate the wild demons outside that are wantonly harming mortals.

When Yan Ze first came to the vicinity of the Demon Palace, he actually didn't know that there was turmoil inside. Instead, the demon general usurped the throne and a riot broke out, causing a lot of harm to the people nearby.

He came there in the name of his master to rescue the people, and happened to discover a clue, so he attacked.

Even he had to judge that the Demon Palace was in turmoil before he dared to go in. If it weren't for Miao Li's sudden appearance, Yan Ze could at least escape unscathed.

Other monks do not have as strong strength as him, and it is even more impossible for them to use attacking the Demon Palace as a means of gilding or building up reputation.

Even if Yan Ze left the Demon Realm safely later, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect paid a considerable price, and it was impossible for outsiders to underestimate the strength of the Demon Realm.

But Yin Xiuyu was not aware of this situation, and couldn't help but worry about the current situation of the Demon Palace following his description.

She was worried about the Demon Palace and Yan Ze, and was in a dilemma. She asked hesitantly:

“Isn’t there a way to have the best of both worlds?”

Miao Li looked at Yin Xiuyu biting her lip with a worried look, rubbed her head, and coaxed her softly:

"Xiao Yu, Yan Ze really can't be let go. However, I will only lock him up for now and won't hurt his life. You don't have to worry too much about him, okay?"

'He can be healthy and worry-free.'

"After a while, when the Demon Palace is more stable and there is no need to worry about attacks from others, I will persuade Ali to let Master Yan go quietly."

After thinking about it, Yin Xiuyu nodded.

She lay back on the bed and did not ask Mu Li what the word "temporarily" meant in a very light voice.

It was as she thought, to lock up Yan Ze temporarily and release him after some time;

Or, for now, it means that he is just locked up and his life will not be in danger, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Yin Xiuyu did not think of the latter possibility, so she covered herself with the quilt and rested quietly.

Miao Li sat beside her and waited, ready to lean on the bed and accompany her to have a good rest.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Yin Xiuyu opened her eyes, still with some sleepiness in them, and Miao Li, who was leaning against the head of the bed, was somewhat dissatisfied with this and shouted to the outside:

"Who? Get in here!"

The door was opened, and the demon guard who had been with Mu Li since childhood knelt down and answered with some excitement in his voice.

"Demon Lord, there has been progress on that matter. We caught——"

Miao Li reacted quickly, and his sharp eyes accompanied by demonic energy stopped the demon guard from finishing his words.

But Yin Xiuyu had heard some words, raised half of her body, and looked at the demon guard kneeling on the ground:

"What did you catch?"

The demon guard looked evasive, and after receiving Miao Li's warning look, he spoke decisively:

"We have captured the demon traitor who caused the riot in the Demon Palace. We are here to report to the Demon Lord and await his instructions."

Yin Xiuyu didn't notice anything wrong in what she read, and when the demon guard called her "Demon Queen", she didn't notice anything else.

Her face instantly turned red like a cooked shrimp, and she fell back onto the bed with a thud.

Yin Xiuyu buried herself back in the quilt, and her muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Miao Li! Your subordinates are calling you, why don't you get out now!"

Miao Li looked at the rolled up quilt, thinking of the cute and embarrassed look of his beloved woman inside, and chuckled twice.

The quilt was shaking more violently, as if a puffed-up carp was about to jump out.

He quickly put his hand over his lips to hide his smile, patted the bed lightly, and said:

"Xiao Yu, then you should have a good rest. Xing Wu and I will go take care of things."

The footsteps gradually moved away from the bed, the door was opened and then gently closed, and she was the only one left in the room.

Yin Xiuyu waited for a while, making sure that no sound could be heard before she poked her head out.

After being stuck in the stuffy little space for too long, when she came out, her face was flushed and there was some sweat on her forehead.

After all this commotion, her complexion looked much better than before.

Yin Xiuyu was originally preparing to sleep and rest. After the room became quiet, her mind unconsciously began to replay the scene of Yan Ze being chained and imprisoned in the dark and damp palace.

I promised to let him go, but now I can't do it for the time being. So, is there any other way I can do to compensate him?

Yin Xiuyu thought for a while, and when he thought about the environment he was in, he came up with an idea.

She originally wanted to talk to Mu Li about this idea, but considering that he had just left to handle official business, she did not disturb him.

Anyway, he once said that in the Demon Palace, just like in the original small village, she could make decisions on everything.

Yin Xiuyu changed her clothes, opened the door, and walked towards the palace where Yan Ze was imprisoned.

This is my second time here, and I am familiar with the place.

The demon guards at the door thought that the future Demon Queen had some special hobbies, so they didn't even try to stop her the first time. They pushed the door open and followed her in a few steps to protect her safety.

Just like last night, when Yin Xiuyu came in, she saw Yan Ze half-sitting.

Compared to yesterday, he seemed to be thinner, with his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen.

Yin Xiuyu walked a little closer and called him softly:

"Master Yan?"
