The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

The next day.

When Nan Xingchen woke up, he found her lying on her bed.

She rubbed her dizzy head and only knew that she was seriously injured yesterday. She couldn't remember anything about what happened afterwards.

After turning the entire Kyoto upside down and failing to find Nan Xingchen, Gan Tang discovered that his young lady had returned on her own.

He hurried to report to Nan Lijun.

When Nan Lijun and Nan Qingru arrived, Nan Xingchen was having breakfast.

Seeing that she was fine, I felt relieved.

But Nan Xingchen was curious, who saved her?

After noon, Nan Xingchen took Gan Tang to Fengxian Inn in Kyoto to visit Wen Ci.

My eyes inadvertently swept over his arm, and his broken hand was empty.

Nan Xingchen couldn't help but think of the day when he first met Wen Ci in the underground tomb. He was a young man with shining eyes and high spirits.

And now, he exuded an aura of listlessness.

Wen Ci raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Nan Xingchen, but there was bitterness in that smile.

Nan Xingchen sighed secretly and said softly, "Don't you have any idea of ​​your cultivation level? Why are you standing up for me?"

"Xingchen, I'm glad you're okay." Wen Ci smiled gently, without the rebellious look of the past in his eyes.

Seeing Nan Xingchen remained silent, Wen Ci smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already cast a spell on my broken arm. I will be leaving for Dongzhou today. Maybe I can reattach it."

Nan Xingchen pursed her lips, stared at him and said: "Wen Ci, don't try to be the first in everything in the future, okay? When I first met you, I felt that you were a very cheerful and optimistic person. Even if you lost an arm, don't give up easily..."

After hearing Nan Xingchen's words, Wen Ci's dead heart suddenly beat.

He looked at Nan Xingchen with sparkling eyes: "Will you look down on me because I'm missing an arm?"

"No." Nan Xingchen shook his head with a firm look on his face.

She took out a pill that could grow muscles and bones from her storage bag and gave it to Wen Ci.

"You must practice well in the future. Although we may not be as talented as others, as long as we work hard, we will definitely succeed."

This sentence made Wen Ci's head buzz: "Do you think I still have a chance?"

Nan Xingchen encouraged: "Yes, there must be, just like even though I am called a waste by everyone, I have not given up trying."

Wen Ci's lips trembled a little, and he looked up at Nan Xingchen: "Xingchen, thank you."

Nan Xingchen smiled: "Why are you thanking me? You got hurt because you stood up for me. I should be thanking you."

In the surprised eyes of Wen Ci, Nan Xingchen smiled and comforted and encouraged him. When she was about to leave, Wen Ci gave her a bottle of poison, and Nan Xingchen took it with a smile.

That night.

Dark clouds blocked a small half of the full moon.

Nan Xingchen stood on the porch in front of the house and shouted to the courtyard, "Why don't you show up quickly?"

In the past two days since she returned to Dayu Kingdom, she felt like someone was following her.

After a moment, Qian Yi, shrouded in white mist, appeared in front of Nan Xingchen.

She bowed and said respectfully, "Miss Xingchen."

Nan Xingchen glanced at her indifferently, without any surprise in his eyes.

She stared at the starry sky and asked calmly, "You saved me yesterday? Your Demon Lord has been..."

Qian Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "It was your subordinate who saved the young lady yesterday. The Demon Lord's whereabouts are always elusive, Qian Yi has no right to ask, it was the Lord who sent me to protect the young lady."

Nan Xingchen felt a strange feeling in her heart. Qian Yi obeyed Su Muwei. After all, it was Su Muwei who saved her.

She pinched her fair chin, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "If you see the Demon Lord, tell him for me. I have something to ask him."

"Yes, sir." Qian Yi responded respectfully.

The last time she was disrespectful to Nan Xingchen, the Demon Lord was furious. Regardless of whether Nan Xingchen could become the Demon Queen in the future, she still had to be careful in dealing with him. At least the relationship couldn't be too strained.

Nan Xingchen stroked the jade flute in his palm with his fingertips and asked again: "That day I was framed and my soul was taken away. It was difficult for me to survive, but did the Demon Lord save me?"

Qian Yi's heart tightened when he heard this. Everyone in the entire demon world knew it. At that time, the Demon Lord did not care about anything else in order to save Nan Xingchen and almost made a big mistake.

Although I don’t know how the Demon Lord resurrected her later, the fact that Nan Xingchen was able to come back to life must be due to the Demon Lord’s credit.

She said in a slightly cold tone: "Miss Xingchen already has the answer in her heart, but she just doesn't want to believe it, right?"

Nan Xingchen tightened the jade flute in his hand and asked nervously, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Qian Yi said solemnly, "Your soul left your body that day, and you were beaten all over. Who else in the world could save you except the Demon Lord?"

After that, she sighed and said, "I have one more thing to tell Miss Xingchen. In fact, it was His Majesty who saved Miss Xingchen yesterday. But he asked her to keep it a secret. His Majesty... Miss Xingchen can pretend not to know in front of His Majesty. If His Majesty knew that I told Miss Xingchen about this, he would definitely punish her."

Qian Yishu sighed. Even if she risked being punished by the Demon Lord, she wanted to tell the truth.

Their Demon Lord had paid so much for the woman in front of him, but she knew nothing about it.

"Don't worry, if I see him, I'll pretend I don't know."

Hearing this, Nan Xingchen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and the coldness in his eyes gradually warmed up.

She had long been sure that the person who saved her last time was Su Muwei, and he saved her again yesterday, but why didn't he say it?

Su Muwei...

Nan Xingchen kept repeating his name in her heart, her eyes becoming more and more gentle. She wanted to slowly forget him, but the longing for him in her heart became stronger and stronger.

She didn't want to restrain herself anymore.

You must find him and ask him clearly.

Why did he save her but then say such cruel words, like we would never see each other again in this life?

She just had to see him!

"Miss Xingchen, if there is nothing else, Qian Yi will take his leave."

After saying this, Qian Yi was about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Nan Xingchen called her, walked straight to the desk in the room, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a few big words on a piece of white paper.

She put the paper into the envelope, gathered spiritual power in her palm, added a seal, walked out of the door quickly and handed it to Qian Yi.

"Give this letter to Su Muwei. Remember to hand it to him personally."

Qian Yi was startled for a moment, but then he returned to normal. He reached out to take the letter and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xingchen. Qian Yi will definitely deliver the letter."

Nan Xingchen entered the room and closed the door.

Until the slender figure disappeared in front of her, Qian Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

In the past few months, she has been tossing and turning between the two of them, and she has finally seen the relationship clearly. They are obviously interested in each other, so why can't they be together?!

……

The first thing Qian Yi did when he returned to Baizhentang was to hand over the letter written by Nan Xingchen to Lord Demon.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter Miss Xingchen wrote to you."

Before Qian Yi finished her words, the letter in her palm disappeared.

She looked up and saw the Demon Lord holding the envelope with his slender jade-like fingers.

Qian Yi was confused: ...Is it really that urgent?
