The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 38 He leaned over and picked up a leg
Xiao Qian turned to Xiao Baojing and the other two and said, "If you don't have a place to rest, why don't you come with me to the county government? It just so happens that I can consult Mr. Ji about how Ji Huaisheng bribed officials from the Ministry of Rites to cheat in the imperial examinations and murdered the candidates."

Xiao Baojing: "Great!"

Before Xiao Qian stepped into the sedan chair, he looked back at Xiao Baojing and said, "You look a lot like my ninth sister."

Xiao Baojing realized later that her body was exactly the same as that of the ninth princess of the current dynasty.

They have been in the garden with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so many days, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have known that she is just a puppet.

But he had no hostility towards her, nor did he intend to burn her to death...

Isn't it true that not everyone in this world hates ghosts and monsters?
Seeing her confusion, Ji Zhengyan explained, "In this world, demons and ghosts are rampant and the countries are at war. Of course, some people hate demons and ghosts, but not all spirits are bad, and not everyone cannot accept them. Therefore, in this world, humans and demons and ghosts maintain a delicate symbiotic relationship."

Xiao Baojing suddenly realized: "Just like you, Mr. Ji, you still remember to teach people to read even after you became a ghost!"

The prince's sedan chair went steadily towards the Rongcheng County Government Office.

Xiao Baojing and others followed behind, and she asked Ji Zhengyan again: "Are we going to Yuhua Lane to see Yunniang now?"

Ji Zhengyan looked at the street scenes that were becoming increasingly familiar, and as if he was getting more homesick, his hands tightened slightly in his wide sleeves.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I will go see her after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clears my name."

He hid in the Analects.

Xiao Baojing covered his shoulder bag and said to Shang Bingjiu silently: "He's nervous!"

Just as she finished speaking, she looked at the boy's jade-white face and suddenly remembered that she had kissed him in the garden.

Her eyes suddenly widened and she quickly took out the paper from her bag.

——You have a secret crush on the peddler and you decide to give him a big kiss when you see him again.

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she shouted in a delicate voice: "You are kidding me!"

"No. The little princess wrote it herself."

"This is not written by me! It's obviously...it's obvious that you imitated my handwriting and wrote this on purpose to tease me! I thought you were an honest peddler, you are so hateful!"

"If the little princess feels at a disadvantage, I can kiss her back."

"You—lecher! Put me down!"

Xiao Baojing was so angry that he started to struggle.

The people on the street and the vendors thought they were just a couple having a quarrel, and seeing how attractive and beautiful they were, they all looked at them with a smile.

As a result, Xiao Baojing's body, which was already on the verge of falling apart, became even worse, and one of his legs and an arm fell directly onto the street.

There was a strange silence around.

After a moment, the people fled the scene as if they had seen a ghost or a tornado.

Xiao Baojing quickly buried his face in Shang Bingjiu's neck.

She looks so horrible that she is too embarrassed to see anyone!

When will she be able to cultivate into a human being?

Shang Bingjiu held her firmly in one arm, his fox eyes curved as he leaned over to pick up a leg: "This is mine."

He picked up the arm again: "This is mine too."

...

Arriving at the county government office, Ji Zhengyan followed Xiao Qian to meet the county magistrate.

The lawyer stayed to entertain Xiao Baojing and Shang Bingjiu. He wanted to arrange two rooms for them, but Shang Bingjiu asked for a more spacious open space.

He took out the walnut carving, and the banana courtyard that Xiao Baojing was familiar with reappeared in the open space.

The master was stunned. When he came to his senses, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "I've heard for a long time that there are powerful demon-slayers in the world who can fly through clouds and mist to slay demons and exorcise monsters. It's really eye-opening for me to see that the sorcerer has such abilities at such a young age!"

Shang Bingjiu carried Xiao Baojing into the courtyard, put her on the low couch, took out red silk thread, and wanted to sew her body.

Xiao Baojing was a little shy and covered her body tightly with her dress, only showing a little bit of her body at the seams. "It's really strange. It hurt when the loquat tree spirit whipped me. It also hurt when the red wedding dress was embroidered on me. But when the joints connected by these red threads fall apart, it doesn't hurt at all... Peddler, what are these red threads made of?"

The girl held up the palm mirror and looked at herself again and again, her round almond-shaped eyes full of curiosity.

Shang Bingjiu tried to help: "Guess." Xiao Baojing couldn't help but look at him.

The boy was squatting on the ground, sewing her legs.

The wide sleeves of his pale yellow Taoist robe fell on the hem of her skirt, making his hands look as white as jade. Red thread was wrapped around his fingertips, making them bright and pretty. He lowered his eyelashes and his thin lips were curved in a subtle way.

She said honestly: "I can't guess."

She plucked up her courage and took a curious look at the cross-section of the severed limb.

It's a beautiful wood texture.

In other words, the core of this puppet is actually the same as Yaoyao, also carved out of wood, but with an extra layer of skin on the outside, just like the Painted Skin Demon in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which is covered with a layer of gorgeous skin to disguise itself as a human.

So are she and Yaoyao the same kind of monsters? Can she cultivate into a human using Yaoyao’s method?

After finishing the sewing, Xiao Baojing put down her sleeves and skirt and walked around the room impatiently.

The peddler still had some skills, her hands and feet were still as good as before they fell apart.

The bailiff came with a lunch box and a box of cakes.

Xiao Baojing remembered that he could taste the flavor when he ate candied loquats in the loquat garden, and tried to pick up a piece of red bean cake.

The sugar cake is made into the shape of a little white rabbit, round and plump with long ears erect.

Xiao Baojing took a bite.

The sugar cake was hot, just out of the pot, the glutinous rice was soft and fragrant, and the brown sugar bean paste inside was sweet, so sweet that she couldn't help but curl her almond eyes.

Although she didn't know why, she could really taste it!

While eating, she picked up a piece of rabbit cake and handed it to Shang Bingjiu: "It's delicious! Do you want to try one too?"

Shang Bingjiu put his hands in his pockets and stared at the rabbit cake.

After a long while, he opened his mouth: "Ah..."

Xiao Baojing: "..."

How wide can his mouth open!

His teeth are so sharp!

With trembling hands, she carefully put the rabbit cake into his mouth.

Then I saw him swallow it directly!

He swallowed it without even chewing it!

She stared at his throat, secretly frightened by his throat.

Seeing him looking at the remaining rabbit cakes in the box again, Xiao Baojing quickly raised his sleeves to protect them.

Giving it to him to eat would be a complete waste of food!
Fortunately, the peddler was not angry. He just put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a smile: "You eat."

After saying that, he went next door to organize his basket of goods.

After he left, Yaoyao dared to come out from the corner holding a broom, looking at the food and cakes greedily: "Your Highness, I want to eat..."

She had practiced all the way and had grown new hands and feet. The burnt parts on her body had almost fallen off. She was wearing a brand new goose yellow half-sleeved skirt and had two buns on her hair. She looked well-behaved, except for a shiny green branch on her head.

Xiao Baojing invited her to sit down and eat.

She held her face in her hands and looked at Yaoyao.

Since the peddler is a demon hunter and has discovered that she is a puppet that has turned into a spirit, he must have known that Yaoyao is a monster.

She was curious: "Did he catch you here?"

Yaoyao's cheeks were puffed up from eating so much. She shook her head vigorously: "I serve the master voluntarily. But I am very afraid of the master, so I dare not get close to him."

Xiao Baojing grasped the key point: "Is he scary?"
