Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Looking at the Demon Lord with black energy emanating from his brow on the screen, Chi Buwan knew without a doubt that he was furious.

He frowned slightly, sensing that the Demon Lord seemed to be considering draining the lake.

"Bang!!"

The demonic energy, which had transformed into a ball, struck the center of the water, creating a huge splash.

I saw it late at night and it sent a chill down my spine.

Luckily, he wasn't hidden in the middle, otherwise he and Xiao Wuli would definitely have been blown to bits.

The hand around her waist tightened, and Chi Buwan paused for a moment. Taking advantage of the ripples in the waves, she turned her head slightly but could not see Xiao Wuli's face.

The two were in a position like mandarin ducks with their necks intertwined, and neither could see the other's face clearly.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several more loud bangs followed. After two, Chi Buwan had gotten used to the sound and his body was no longer tense. At this moment, Xiao Wuli's hands, which had been tightly wrapped around his waist, slowly loosened.

Chi Buwan's pupils widened slightly as she gradually understood his meaning.

This guy was even thinking of protecting him.

I was suddenly a little touched.

Once the story is over, he'll definitely become his best friend!

Be it for life!

"Is it too late? Do you think you can escape my grasp?"

The Demon Lord's sinister voice echoed throughout the area.

Chi Buwan snapped out of his reverie and listened intently to the Demon Lord's words.

"Now that you have become my Daoist partner, I will absolutely not let you off so easily!"

Is it too late?:........

Can Xiao Wuli grow up quickly enough to kill the Demon Lord?

[Host, Senior Brother Wei Hanling has arrived.] 337 breathed a sigh of relief after saying this, his tense nerves relaxed, but the next second he suddenly felt a chill seep into his bones, and his whole little dumpling tensed up again.

Its gaze quickly located the source of the cold air, and immediately settled on Xiao Wuli, whose head was obediently buried in the side of his host's neck.

"Do you feel the water getting colder?" Before Chi Buwan could even feel happy upon hearing the news, he shivered again, this time feeling the coldness through his body.

"Come out," Wei Hanling said calmly as she landed.

"Splash—!"

Chi Buwan pulled Xiao Wuli out of the water. He cast a spell and the water on his body dried quickly, but the chill on his skin still lingered.

But seeing Wei Hanling filled me with a sense of security.

As expected of the senior brother, the Demon Lord ran away as soon as he arrived.

Chi Buwan rubbed his hands together and asked, "Senior Brother, how did you know I was underwater?"

Wei Hanling glanced at Xiao Wuli, who was standing behind him with his head down and a low mood, and said, "Wuli sent me a message a while ago."

Chi Buwan turned back to look at Xiao Wuli and nodded approvingly.

Not bad.

As expected of his student, he remains calm and rational in the face of adversity.

He thought it in his heart, and then said it aloud.

Xiao Wuli raised his head for a moment, his face somewhat pale. "Thank you for the praise, Master."

Chi Buwan was startled.

Who is this person whose life force has been drained?

Xiao Wuli's face is always rosy, isn't it? But... she looks pretty like this too, with a sickly beauty vibe.

"Did you catch a cold?" Chi Buwan asked softly.

The water temperature was indeed cold, but Xiao Wuli is in good health, so he shouldn't have caught a cold after just a short soak, right?

Xiao Wuli shook his head listlessly, his face still pale.

Old man: ......

On the way back to the inn, Xiao Wuli kept quiet and didn't say a word. He just kept his head down and didn't even lift his eyes, looking like he had lost his soul.

I asked 337 again, but 337 said he didn't know.

It's a useless system; it doesn't know anything when you ask it.

At night, Xiao Wuli also stopped cultivating for a day, citing physical discomfort.

Chi Buwan was worried that Xiao Wuli's current condition would affect tomorrow's match, so he went to his door and knocked.

Xiao Wuli opened his arms, looked at the person standing outside the door with a slight pause, then quickly lowered his head and softly called out, "Master."

Seeing that he was in the same state as during the day, Chi Buwan frowned slightly and asked, "Did you catch a chill in the water during the day?"

Xiao Wuli shook his head and turned to make room for him to walk in.

Chi Buwan raised her hand and touched his forehead. Her gaze flickered and met Xiao Wuli's dark eyes, which were suddenly looking up at her in surprise.

After carefully feeling it for a while, he slowly let go.

I don't have a cold or fever, so what's wrong?

Xiao Wuli lowered his head again, and before long, he had a hallucination of dog ears hanging down on his head.

so poor.

He softened his breathing and his voice unconsciously became gentler, "What's causing your low mood? Would you mind telling me?"

The old man, seeing right through the young man's thoughts, said, "There's no reason, it's just that the person he likes already has a partner."

Xiao Wuli's lips paled even more. He held his breath, and for a moment a dark aura rose in his eyes. He wanted to rush into the Demon Realm right now and chop that demon into pieces!

Chi Buwan waited patiently, then entered his room and sat down at the table. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Wuli came over, lowered his eyes, and poured him a cup of tea.

I picked it up and took a sip.

"Master, will you bring Master's wife back to the Lingxiao Sect?"

"puff--!"

"Master's wife??" Chi Buwan looked at him in shock, forgetting to wipe the tea from the corner of her mouth. "Who told you that your master has... has a wife?"

Xiao Wuli's gaze fell on his moist lips, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He lowered his head and said softly, "Today, I overheard that demon in the water saying that he and you have become Daoist partners."

Is it too late?:........

Chi Buwan raised his hand, only to be handed a handkerchief. He paused for a moment before noticing that the handkerchief was a dark black silk cloth that he had bought for Xiao Wuli a month ago.

He reached out and took it, wiped his mouth, and once again marveled at Xiao Wuli's keen observation; he knew Xiao Wuli needed to wipe his mouth just by raising his hand.

After wiping her mouth, Chi Buwan looked down at the handkerchief, hesitated for two seconds, and then decided to return it to Xiao Wuli.

Xiao Wuli was very frugal. He didn't want to take this handkerchief, which was probably his only handkerchief. He reached out to hand it over, but then suddenly remembered that he could wash it and return it to him. Just as he was about to pull his hand back, Xiao Wuli had already taken the handkerchief from his palm.

Chi Buwan paused, looked up at Xiao Wuli in front of her, only to see that he had already tucked the handkerchief back into his chest.

He opened his mouth slightly, about to speak, but his gaze suddenly met Xiao Wuli's pitiful black eyes.
