The old man goes to sleep when he says he wants to.

The old demon tree's face disappeared in a moment.

Everything around became quiet again.

Mu Shuiqi was bored, so she went back to her room.

The room where she used to sleep was still the same as before, without any changes.

The moonlight poured in through the window, and the room was quite bright.

However, no matter how beautiful the moonlight is, it is still cold.

Only if there is candlelight will there be human smoke in the room.

Just make do with it.

She lay down on the bed and wanted to sleep.

After fighting with Zhufeng during the day, I am indeed a little tired.

Zhufeng died, and his spirit couldn't be eaten by Chou Chou, what a pity.

Zhufeng was a powerful demon. If his spirit remained in Buyuan Country, it would surely continue to cause evil.

When she thought of this, all her sleepiness disappeared and she sat up immediately.

I have to rush back to Tiangong City to take a look!

Several hours have passed. Perhaps the wind-chasing demon has awakened.

She had just run out of the yard when she met Liu Huo coming back.

He was holding a black cloth bag in his hand.

In the moonlight, the tall shadow cast a dark shadow. It was cold and clear, and I couldn't feel any emotion from him.

The three-dimensional facial features are cast by the moonlight, making the nose look taller and straighter. The eyes have a charming depth.

"Where are you going?" he asked coldly.

"Tiangong City," she said. He wouldn't stop her, would he?

"What are you doing there?"

"I forgot to deal with the Wind-Chasing Demon Spirit. I'm afraid it will awaken and cause trouble."

"The people from Bingling have already captured his demon spirit." Liu Huo sneered, "It's none of your business to worry about it."

Could the person in Bingling be Yi Yao?

Such a small matter shouldn't alarm Bingyou.

Yi Yao's movements were surprisingly fast.

"How do you know?" She was curious about how he knew everything?

"..." He didn't want to answer her nonsense.

He came in carrying something.

She didn't need to go to Tiangong City for the time being, so she followed him into the house.

He went to her room.

He took out a candle from the cloth bag and lit it on the table.

The candlelight lit up, and the room became warm and cozy.

Mu Shuiqi's heart suddenly calmed down. She sat beside the candlelight, staring at it in a daze.

Modern people have electricity and their lives are very convenient, but people in Xuanyu use candles or oil lamps.

Sometimes this simple way of lighting can actually soothe people's hearts.

Liu Huo lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while.

She sat there obediently, looking at the flickering candlelight with a smile on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Everything you want is in the bag, use it as you wish." Liu Huo put the cloth bag in front of her.

She heard the crisp sound of ceramics.

There are bowls and chopsticks.

When I opened it, I saw a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, as well as a lot of candles.

When I turned it over, I actually found a string of candied haws!

"Where did you buy the candied haws?" she asked in amazement.

"Why ask so many questions? If you want to eat it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, throw it away." Liu Huo said.

She looked up at him. Why did he always speak with such a harsh tone? His temper was really unpleasant.

"Thank you, Liu Huo." She still smiled, opened the paper bag and started eating.

He looked at her coldly, "Is this thing really that delicious?"

Last time he brought her a candied haws, and he was deeply impressed by the surprise in her eyes.

She didn't bother to care about his attitude, since his temper was always changeable.

The candied haws are sour and sweet, but a little melted and soft.

It's June now and no one is selling candied haws outside anymore.

She wondered if he would go to some vendor's house and force them to make it fresh.

"Would you like to try one?" She saw that he was watching her eat and had no intention of leaving.

"No need." There was a glint of disdain in his eyes.

He had already tasted fish, and once he was opened to it, she believed he would gradually be willing to eat human food.

There are so many kinds of food in the world, there must be some that he likes to eat. How can he know if he doesn’t try them more?

She deliberately made a smacking sound in front of him, "Delicious."

Somehow, the two of them were alone in a room in the dark of night, and he felt a strange and ambiguous feeling in his heart.

Seeing her lively eyes staring at him all the time, he couldn't stay there any longer.

He turned around and walked out to his room.

"Liu Huo, where are you going?"

Then came her questioning voice.

She seized a candle, and lighting it by the candle in her own room, took it to his room.

His room was never lit by a candle.

"What are you doing?" He was a little alert.

I didn't want to see her, but she was still around and followed me.

She tilted the candle gently, and the wax dripped onto the table, then she glued the bottom of the candle on while it was still hot.

"Liu Huo, this candle is for you. Blow it out when you want to sleep."

"I want to go to bed now." He said impatiently, "Get out."

"Oh." She took a deep breath, blew out the candle, and went out to her room.

When he told her to leave, she actually left, and he became annoyed again.

Inexplicably irritable.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

The two rooms are separated by a wall.

But he couldn't hear her, and she couldn't hear him.

Each of them lay in bed.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She lay down for a while and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, she got up early.

First, I went to see Chouchou. He was the same as always, motionless.

The old demon tree's face didn't show up either, probably because it was sleeping.

Mu Shuiqi was concerned about the situation in Tiangong City, so she decided to go back and take a look.

Imitating the way Liu Huo flew with his sword, she stepped on the Shaohua Bow and flew up using her telekinesis.

At first, the flight was unstable, and it almost hit a tree.

Later, I got familiar with it and flew faster.

This mode of flight was only suitable for short distances, at least, for her current spiritual power.

If she used telekinesis to fly back to the Ice Tomb, it would probably take her many days, and she would have to rest several times along the way.

Today, there is peace outside Tiangong City.

There is not a single soldier from the Li'e Army left.

She was delighted, thinking that Qi Lie and his men must have won the battle yesterday.

After entering the city, she found Qi Lie's military camp.

The soldiers are resting.

Qi Lie was in the main tent discussing military matters with Hege and some of his lieutenants. When she arrived, Qi Lie dismissed the meeting.

"Aqi, are you okay?" Qi Lie was very happy to see her come back.

He didn't sleep well last night because he was worried about her all night.

"I'm fine." She smiled.

"Who is that man? Did he do anything to you?" Qi Lie had a very bad impression of Liu Huo.

He felt that Liu Huo was arrogant and rude, and actually asked Mu Shuiqi to kneel down in front of him.

Mu Shuiqi comforted him: "Liu Huo is just a paper tiger, he won't do anything to me."

"Then...what about Chouchou?" He was also worried about Chouchou. Its tail was broken and he didn't know what had happened to it.

"I left it at Ghost Tooth Mountain for treatment. Its tail will grow back in ten days or half a month." She asked, "Has the Li'e Army left?"

Qi Lie was about to tell her the good news: "They were defeated and escaped."

Zhufeng died, the Li'e army was without a commander and had no food supplies, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers were retreating step by step.

Finally, they could not hold on any longer, and the surviving 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers were led by the deputy general to escape.

"Will they come back again?" Mu Shuiqi was a little worried that Li'e Country would send people again.

Qi Lie disagreed. He analyzed the situation for her, "Although Li'e is powerful, it has been engaged in wars and invasions of other countries for years, and its military strength has been depleted. This time, they suffered a heavy blow in Buyuan, and they won't be coming back anytime soon."

"How long do you mean by a short period of time? One or two years?"

"Well, that's about right. Unless Li'e wants to fight and mobilize all its forces to attack Buyuan. Then Li'e will be depleted of its own forces, and Xiwa can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Li'e and catch them off guard."

Since they can think of this, Li'e Country can naturally think of this as well.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Li'e will not act rashly in the short term and should take a good rest.

Mu Shuiqi's heart finally settled. "I hope the Buyuan Kingdom can take this opportunity to recuperate and rebuild its country."

It just so happened that King Daxian had recovered his health and could govern the country well.

Qi Lie said, "The war with Buyuan is over. I will be returning to Tucheng in a few days. Will you come with me?"
