After Yu Xi called out Suzaku's name, Suzaku was also stunned.
She looked at the furry little fox half-demon in front of her and pointed at herself blankly: "Do you know me?"
Yu Xi didn't answer.
She remembered the first time she met Suzaku. Suzaku was carrying a bundle of wood up the mountain. It had just rained and the air was humid but smelled good, but the road was muddy everywhere.
She was just about to go over and ask for directions when she saw Zhuque miss a step and plunge into the mud.
She hurried over to pull the man up and helped carry the wood, but she saw Zhuque with a face covered in mud, staring at her with wide eyes, his mouth opening and closing but no words coming out.
Seeing Zhuque like this, she thought that her fox tail was exposed, so she turned around to look, but found that it was well hidden.
Then Suzaku's scream was heard:
"Oh my God! Fairies! I met a living fairy! You must be a fairy!"
She was startled. The person she was least good at dealing with was someone like Suzaku. She was a man of few words and not very good at speaking, so she could only explain to Suzaku in a dull manner for a long time that she was not a fairy.
But Suzaku refused to believe it and took her to his residence in the mountains.
There are many children living in Zhuque's residence, most of whom were brought from a village when she was eighteen years old.
When asked which village it was, Suzaku just shook his head and said with a heavy look:
"The village is gone. It was destroyed by those wicked demons."
Zhuque was kind and bold. Later, when he discovered her fox tail, he was not afraid of her and treated her as just an ordinary person.
It just so happened that the two of them had the same interests and gradually became familiar with each other. She learned that Zhuque was fifteen years older than her and was also an orphan. He had learned some acrobatic tricks from a wandering artist. The dignitaries loved to watch him and he made money from it.
It’s a pity that Zhuque is just an ordinary person. He has to take care of so many children, and no matter how much money he earns, it is not enough. He is already sick in his twenties.
So she promised Zhuque that she would earn money in the future, and when she came of age, she would open an acrobatics school for Zhuque, and Zhuque just needed to take good care of his health.
But she still broke the contract.
She did not live to adulthood.
Now if I calculate carefully, Zhuque is exactly eighteen this year. Could this be the village she mentioned?
Yu Xi was thinking when her ear was suddenly pinched. She looked up and saw Zhong Xian looking at her and saying:
"Xiao Xi'er knows her? Could she be..."
He suspected that this Suzaku was Xiao Xier's former relative.
Yu Xi understood what Zhong Xian meant and quickly waved his hands, explaining vaguely, "No, no, I met her when I was wandering."
Upon hearing this, the murderous aura around Zhong Xian dissipated slightly.
Zhuque, who was standing by, also heard this. She thought Yu Xi had seen her perform outside, so she immediately slammed her palm and said angrily:
"Who the hell is so blind as to let such a cute little girl wander around? There are two eggs hanging under her eyebrows, and she can only blink but not see! Are you not afraid of divine punishment? If I could have a sister like this, I would directly make her a family tree and offer three incense sticks every morning and evening!"
Yu Xi: “…”
She rubbed her brows. It had been a long time since she heard Zhuque's roar, and she actually missed it a little.
Zhong Xian was quite satisfied with what Zhuque said earlier, but he immediately became unhappy when he heard the last sentence, and alarm bells started ringing in his heart.
What's going on? Are you here to steal my sister?
Why is it that everywhere he goes, there are people trying to steal his sister! I’m so angry, so angry that I’m going crazy!
Zhong Xian's anger flared up, and he stared at Zhuque with hostility again. He even made a gesture of wiping his neck, and was ready to kill someone in the next second with murderous intent.
But Zhuque was not someone who could be frightened. She dared to ride a tiger and fight a wild boar when she was only three years old. Now, seeing Zhong Xian glaring at her, she immediately glared back.
Whose eyes are bigger?
She has double eyelids, and hers are the biggest!
Yu Xi didn't understand why the two of them were facing each other again. Seeing them glaring at each other, she was about to speak when Su Yi beside her gently pulled her sleeve.
"It's dangerous here. You can leave with them."
Su Yi pointed at the children on the Sun Pig's back and said, "This Sun Pig is the soul form I separated from my original body. It won't eat people, but it can carry people. It's very safe."
Yu Xi glanced at the children and shook his head. "So, you took the children away to send them away from this place?"
Seeing that Yu Xi was young but had a lot of thoughts, Su Yi tilted his head in confusion. As a result, he accidentally tilted his head too hard, and his head tilted 180 degrees, and he almost fell down.
Yu Xi was so frightened that his fox fur almost stood up.
Fortunately, Su Yi hugged his head in time and reattached it. As if not to scare Yu Xi, he quickly explained: "Sorry, sorry, my head has been bitten off before, so sometimes I am not very used to it."
Su Yi apologized, paused for two seconds, and then said, "You should only be three years old this year. You don't have to worry about these things. There are adults to worry about them. You just need to know how to keep yourself safe."
Seeing that she was being looked down upon, Yu Xi puffed out her cheeks and said, "Aren't you a child too?"
Su Yi looked only about five or six years old.
"But I've been a ghost for two hundred years." Su Yi said helplessly, "I could be your great-grandmother."
Seeing Yu Xi staring at her in silence, she sighed and looked at Suzaku and said:
"Suzaku, this child won't leave. Please take the other children away first. This is the last time I ask of you."
Zhuque then withdrew his gaze from Zhong Xian and said hesitantly, "Then you..."
Su Yi just shook his head.
Even though Su Yi didn't say anything, Zhuque immediately understood what she meant.
She nodded and quickly sat on the Sun Pig. She glared at Zhong Xian one last time and said, "I won't take you, my lovely little sister, with me for now. I'm Suzaku. Tell me your name!"
Zhong Xian sneered, looking at him with disdain as if he were an ant: "Zhong Xian, the young master of the demon clan."
"Heh, demons... what's that demon thing?"
Suzaku almost fell off the Sun Pig.
Even though she was an ordinary person, she had heard of Zhong Xian's notorious reputation.
Oh my god, she actually provoked the murderous Zhong Xian?!
She heard that Zhong Xian could destroy a mountain or fill up a sea if she got angry, and she was more diligent than Jingwei!
Zhong Xian knew from her expression that she must have heard of his bad reputation, and immediately became proud, and released demonic energy.
A mere mortal dares to challenge him? She can't be scared to death!
"elder brother--"
Yu Xi pinched Zhong Xian's fingers and shook them twice, while at the same time pricked up his ears and stared at Zhong Xian with a bit of threat.
Zhong Xian instantly became obedient, rubbed Yu Xi's head, and snorted:
"I'm just kidding her. I wouldn't lay a hand on a mortal. It's boring."
Seeing that the bell strings had died down, Yu Xi walked towards Zhuque, put the 100,000 spirit stones in his storage ring into the storage bag, and threw it into Zhuque's hand.
Suzaku was stunned: "...What is this?"
"I once had a friend who had a dream. She said she wanted to have 100,000 taels of silver. She would use the money to feed all the homeless children, open the largest school, and establish an acrobatic troupe that could travel anywhere."
Yu Xi raised her head and said seriously, "But she's gone now, and you happen to have to take care of these children. I'll give you this money. Can you help my friend fulfill her dream?"
Zhuque was stunned at first, then said in surprise, "How come your friend's dream is exactly the same as mine? Has she also learned acrobatics?"
Yu Xi twitched her ears, and a ripple appeared in her clear eyes: "Well, it's quite a coincidence."
Zhuque suddenly smiled, without any pretense, and accepted the spirit stone and said:
"Then leave it to me! The spirit stones you gave me are much more valuable than silver. I guarantee that her dream will be fulfilled as well!"
