Chapter Ninety-Eight p2
After taking two steps, Yu Zhao remembered something, and said regretfully: “I originally wanted to trap Xuan Long in private, so as not to disturb Master’s elegant mood of admiring flowers. It’s a pity that Xuan Long struggled too much, and still alarmed Master. I was so angry at that time, and full of revenge, so I was a bit ruthless. Fortunately, Master saw it and wasn’t angry with me.“
Bo Chi: “…”
Could that be described with just ‘a bit ruthless’?
Your dad was almost killed by you!
Bo Chi increasingly felt that Yu Zhao’s nature was changing. She stopped and said: “Since Xuan Long has already been dealt with by you, then don’t stay in the demon realm anymore, come with me…“
The sound of commotion came from the front hall, vaguely seeming to be the sect leader’s voice. Bo Chi’s words paused, and she swallowed them, signaled Yu Zhao not to speak, and listened carefully.
“No!” Bai Lian suddenly screamed: “What’s a demon, what’s an immortal? Love is love, I don’t want to go back, I don’t regret it!“
“Indiscriminate between good and evil! I took you in and taught you out of pity when I saw your whole village destroyed, but I didn’t expect that you would one day fall in love with your father’s killer. If your parents knew in the underworld, how could they rest in peace?“
“He’s not! He told me that it was Xuan Long who killed my parents, not him!“
“Even if it wasn’t him, he still has the blood of other humans on his hands. Being with him means abandoning our human race! If you don’t leave with me today, I will forcefully take you back to the Starry Constellation Sect!“
“Hmph, is this the demeanor of your famous and righteous sect? If you make a move, then don’t blame me, Gu Heng, for not caring about Lian’er’s feelings!“
A fight broke out in the front hall.
Bo Chi frowned as she listened from behind, and remembering that Bai Lian had told her at the banquet that the sect leader would come, she couldn’t help but feel relieved, and said to Yu Zhao: “See, if you team up with her, you’re guaranteed to encounter all kinds of trouble.“
Yu Zhao’s smile faded slightly, and her expression showed a bit of seriousness: “Master is right. The people from the Starry Constellation Sect are here, does Master want to go back with them?“
“Forget it,” Bo Chi complained, “Bai Lian and I are just ‘fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps’. She and Gu Heng are from opposite sides, but you and I also have the ‘forbidden master-disciple love’ and ‘forced love’ tropes. If I show up, we will soon become the next Gu Heng and Bai Lian, forced to separate by the sect leader.“
Yu Zhao nodded: “Then Master means, we don’t care about them?“
Bo Chi held her hand and walked back: “Naturally, being with Gu Heng is Bai Lian’s own choice, and they have to bear the consequences of their decisions. As for us… cough, let’s take advantage of the opportunity that the sect leader is being held back by Bai Lian, and quickly leave the demon realm.“
Their escape went smoothly. The people from the Starry Constellation Sect were all gathered in the front hall, and didn’t even notice them slipping away under their noses.
After leaving the demon realm, Yu Zhao found that Bo Chi was going in the wrong direction, raised her eyebrows, and said: “Master, are you going to the human world?“
“Yes.” Bo Chi didn’t hide anything: “You have demonic aura on you, it’s too obvious in the cultivation world, it’s better to stay in the human world for a few years, and come back after the demonic aura dissipates.“
Yu Zhao shook her head: “I have demonic blood in me, even if I stay in the human world for thousands of years, I can’t get rid of the filth in my bones.“
Bo Chi: “There’s, there’s no need to be so disgusted with yourself… Besides, you can’t do it, but I can.“
Yu Zhao was stunned, her eyes lighting up, and she rarely returned to her youthful self, chasing after Bo Chi and asking questions non-stop.
Bo Chi carefully explained the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid to her. After entering the human world and choosing a small city to settle down, she closed the door of their new courtyard and poured a drop into the bathtub.
The spiritual liquid quickly diluted in the water, and the ordinary water was instantly filled with a fragrant spiritual energy.
Yu Zhao took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub in front of Bo Chi.
After closing her eyes and feeling it for a while, her face gradually turned pale, but the smile on her face deepened, and she said happily: “Master was right, just soaking in the spiritual liquid for a month, and I can, I can get rid of this demonic blood…“
Bo Chi heard that her voice was not right, and immediately turned her gaze back, which she had averted because of shyness.
Yu Zhao’s long hair in the bathtub was wet, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her fingers on the edge of the tub unconsciously exerting force, actually making a few small holes in the edge of the tub.
Even when she stabbed her palm with a sword, she was smiling, but now she was so out of control, it was easy to see how much pain she was in.
The system had casually mentioned to Bo Chi before that ‘it will be a little painful‘, and Bo Chi didn’t take it to heart, and only mentioned it casually when instructing Yu Zhao.
But now, seeing Yu Zhao’s pained face, her heart ached. She walked to the bathtub, covered Yu Zhao’s hand, and said softly: “Does it hurt a lot? If it’s too painful, we can shorten the soaking time, and extend the estimated few months to a few years.“
——This could indeed reduce Yu Zhao’s pain, but it would greatly consume the spiritual liquid.
Anyway, Bo Chi didn’t need the spiritual liquid, so she thought it was fine to waste it, as long as Yu Zhao felt better.
But Yu Zhao shook her head: “It’s just physical pain, no matter how unbearable it is, it can’t compare to what I’ve experienced before.“
Bo Chi’s heart ached even more, and she wanted to hold her hand.
Yu Zhao withdrew her hand with difficulty, put it in the water, and said softly: “I can’t control my strength, I’m afraid of hurting you.“
Bo Chi said seriously: “But I’m not afraid.“
Yu Zhao smiled lowly, her expression softening slightly.
She didn’t put her hand back, but pretended to be relaxed and said: “If Master pities me, why don’t you think of another way to coax me?“
Bo Chi pondered for a while, remembered that when her horns were itching, she was also thinking of ways to coax her, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: “I’ll sing for you?“
She thought that Yu Zhao would readily agree, but Yu Zhao was strangely silent for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly: “Okay.“
A girl’s heart was the most sensitive, especially in front of the person she liked.
Bo Chi was originally excited, but seeing her expression, she immediately puffed up her cheeks: “What’s with that reaction? You clearly liked listening to me sing before!“
Yu Zhao: “…It’s different now.“
She had been controlled by her beastly nature before, and didn’t even understand what Bo Chi was saying, so naturally she was satisfied with anything.
But now, asking her to listen to Bo Chi singing children’s songs…
She would feel like she was still a child in front of her master, not the other half that her master loved.
Although this thought was a bit childish, Yu Zhao really thought so.
She had a straightforward personality now, and would say whatever she wanted, without hiding or concealing anything, and directly told Bo Chi.
Bo Chi thought Yu Zhao was looking down on her. After knowing her little thoughts, she couldn’t help but blush: “What do you mean ‘a child’? Which disciple would do that kind of thing to their master?“
Yu Zhao couldn’t help but tease her: “What kind of thing?“
Bo Chi glared at her: “You know what I mean.“
Yu Zhao’s smile deepened, and for a moment, even the pain was suppressed, only joy remained in her heart.
She soaked in the bathtub for half an hour, and Bo Chi stayed by her side, talking to her for half an hour.
With Bo Chi there, Yu Zhao’s attention was indeed diverted from the pain. It wasn’t until Bo Chi asked her to come out that she belatedly said: “I can’t get up.“
Bo Chi was confused: “Are your legs numb?“
“…No.” Yu Zhao couldn’t help but laugh, felt her body, and pondered: “It seems that because my demonic blood is being suppressed by the spiritual liquid, although I can feel my body, I can’t move.“
Bo Chi thought for a while, and rummaged through her storage bag: “Wait a minute, I remember seeing a wheelchair in here before. I heard that it was made by a big shot from the Mechanism sect. It can not only fly, go underground, and go underwater, but also kill, defend, and escape, it should be quite suitable for you now.“
Yu Zhao was intrigued. After Bo Chi took out the wheelchair, she said happily: “It’s a good thing, should I try it?“
Bo Chi nodded: “You try it.“
Her voice fell, and the room fell silent.
Their eyes met, and Bo Chi said in confusion: “Come on.“
Yu Zhao was dumbfounded by her little wife, and said helplessly: “Master, why do you think I should try this?“
Bo Chi was puzzled: “Because you can’t move.“
Yu Zhao rubbed her temples: “Since I can’t move, how can I try it?“
Bo Chi: “…”
Oh no, her intelligence was exposed!
Bo Chi was dumbfounded, and wanted to cover her face and run away, pretending that nothing had happened.
Yu Zhao stopped her in time, and said with a smile: “Don’t be annoyed, Master, this disciple just likes Master’s not-so-smart look.“
Bo Chi: “…Why?“
Yu Zhao’s eyes fluttered, swallowed the words ‘easy to deceive’, and said sincerely: “Cute.“
Bo Chi was embarrassed by the coaxing, and said coquettishly: “Where did you learn such sweet words? It’s really boring.“
Having said that, she still believed it happily, came to the bathtub, carried Yu Zhao to the bed, and wiped her body and dressed her.
Yu Zhao was calm and composed, not blushing at all, and even had the mood to tease Bo Chi: “Master, did you deliberately touch me there?“
Bo Chi’s eyes widened, she was both shy and anxious, her face flushed red as she defended herself: “I didn’t!“
Yu Zhao said disappointedly: “Didn’t you? What a pity.“
Bo Chi: “…”
Yu Zhao: “If Master runs away now, this disciple will catch a cold.“
Bo Chi extinguished the thought of angrily running away, and continued to wipe her with a straight face: “Then shut up, don’t talk nonsense!“
Yu Zhao said slowly: “But Master is always swaying in front of me, making me unable to resist teasing Master.“
Bo Chi took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, and covered her face: “Close your eyes peacefully.“
Yu Zhao: “…”
