Chapter 22 Good Idea

Chu Xuyun persuaded Li Yanhe to leave, then turned back to look inside the Demon Palace. Taking a deep breath, he put on a solemn expression and walked slowly into the hall.

Yu Xiao stared straight at him and asked knowingly, “Immortal Lord, did you drive him away?”

At these words, Chu Xuyun nodded, reaching out to help Yu Xiao onto a soft couch. He carefully unbuttoned Yu Xiao’s clothes, revealing the bloody and blurry wound on his right shoulder.

If it had been a few inches to the side, it would have been fatal. Why was Yu Xiao so foolish?

“Xianjun, don’t let my injury affect your relationship with him. I’m fine,” Yu Xiao’s heart was already much relieved; this minor shoulder wound was nothing serious.

Chu Xuyun shook his head and took out a small jar of ointment from his storage ring, a clotting and pain-relieving ointment made by the healers of the Taiqing Sect.

Scooping out a bit of the ointment on his fingertip, he gently applied it to Yu Xiao’s wound. Chu Xuyun furrowed his brow even tighter at the slight gasp of pain from Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao didn’t know if Chu Xuyun had seen through his tricks, so he tentatively asked in a low voice, “Immortal Lord, what are you thinking?”

Chu Xuyun didn’t answer, quietly bandaging Yu Xiao’s wound.

“He feels guilty.

If it weren’t for Li Yanhe insisting on coming to save him, Yu Xiao probably wouldn’t have hurt himself like this.

It’s all because he worried his disciple and caused Yu Xiao to suffer for no reason.

Chu Xuyun sighed softly, reaching out to gently rub Yu Xiao’s head.

After the wedding, he would treat Yu Xiao better, at least preventing Yu Xiao from doing such foolish things again.

Chu Xuyun sighed softly, reaching out to gently rub Yu Xiao’s head.

After the wedding, he would treat Yu Xiao better, at least preventing Yu Xiao from doing such foolish things again.

Yu Xiao carefully observed his expression, but Chu Xuyun’s appearance was too deceptive, showing no emotions.

He couldn’t figure out if Chu Xuyun believed in him and drove Li Yanhe away, or if he drove him away to protect Li Yanhe.

After a long time, Yu Xiao pursed his lips and looked at Chu Xuyun, who was bending down to bandage him, his eyes gradually deepening. “If Xianjun has him in his heart, we can leave now.”

Chu Xuyun suddenly looked up at him and heard Yu Xiao’s faint voice, “This is the only chance. If we don’t leave now, once tomorrow comes, you’ll never be able to leave.”

With that, Yu Xiao’s breathing slowed down, watching Chu Xuyun get up and walk out of the hall.

He knew he had a peculiar temperament, years of cultivating demons making him more capricious, selfish, and jealous, clearly when they returned from Penglai Fairy Island, they were still together picking the wedding dresses to wear tomorrow, now they were going to go their separate ways, clearly wanting him to stay, but letting him go inadvertently. Perhaps Chu Xuyun had long been unable to bear his temper, but he had never said it out loud.

Yu Xiao hated himself the same way.

Neither was determined to imprison Chu Xuyun, nor was there the courage to send Chu Xuyun away.

After a long time, a touch of red appeared before his eyes.

Yu Xiao stared blankly at the red boots in front of him, slowly lifted his head, and met Chu Xuyun’s gaze.

He was wearing a wedding dress, the one Yu Xiao thought was the best looking just now, not dragon patterns on it, not crane patterns on it, but a pair of mandarin ducks hugging each other closely.

Chu Xuyun stood in front of him, reaching out to hold his face condescendingly, and then bent down to lightly kiss him on the lips.

Okay, okay, don’t think wildly, Yu Xiao, even if you drive me away now, I won’t leave.

The pain on his body dissipated at this moment, and Yu Xiao looked at Chu Xuyun’s face close at hand without hesitation and deepened this kiss.

Maybe the person in the painting isn’t Li Yanhe at all.

Yu Xiao secretly thought, if it were Li Yanhe, how could Chu Xuyun drive him away, it must be someone else, one of the three was already excluded, leaving only Yin Xuzhao and Ji Lianzhou.

He wasn’t in a hurry, and after getting married, he would slowly find out who it was.

Soon, Chu Xuyun’s carefully selected beautiful wedding dress was stripped away cleanly and thrown into the depths of the red quilt.

It’s better not to wear the most beautiful.

Demon Dragon Palace.

The scout knelt tremblingly in the middle of the palace, not daring to look up at the man behind the screen.

“The Demon Palace has been preparing for the wedding of the Demon Lord Yu Xiao these days, and there are sixteen sets of wedding dresses for the two people, which is so extravagant that the Demon is itchy…” The scout swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage and continued, “The little ones also found out that the big wedding day is tomorrow.”

As soon as the words fell, a glass wine glass smashed heavily on his head, knocking out a pool of blood.

“Get out.”

The man behind the screen was so angry that the entire Dragon Palace was cold as an ice hole for an instant, and no one dared to make a sound.

The Demon Lord was severely injured by Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao even wanted to marry the Demon Lord’s sweetheart in such a triumphant manner, which was simply too much of a joke.

Behind the screen, Yin Xuzhao, who could barely get up, is now on his way to kill Yu Xiao, but he not only can’t get up but can only watch Yu Xiao’s pride.

Damn Yu Xiao, it turned out that he broke through the Mahayana period smoothly so quickly by repairing demons. On that day, he was just an enemy under the water. Yu Xiao pulled the dragon tendons on his body and made Yin Xuzhao completely useless even standing.

He took a deep breath and said coldly, “Isn’t there anyone who can come up with a solution? What’s the use of raising your waste?”

Every Demon in the Dragon Palace was silent, only a weak clam Demon weakly opened his mouth, “Back to the demon, otherwise, let the tanuki Demon send a letter to try. What if this time Chu Xuyun changes his mind?”

The answer to him was another glass wine glass, “Nonsense, if sending a letter is useful, why didn’t you come before?”

The clam Demon covered his head weakly and almost cried out, “Lord Demon, calm down, sending a letter is useless, we can send something else.”

Yin Xuzhao squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Then you say, what to send?”

The clam Demon thought hard for a while, suddenly became smart in the urgency, “We can find a painter to draw a portrait of the Lord Demon’s current weakness and pitiful appearance that Yu Xiao tortured to the extreme, and Chu Xuyun is the right way. The fairy respect must feel pity, knowing that Yu Xiao is a cruel person, this marriage must be over!”

Yin Xuzhao: …

“I’m not so weak, and Chu Xuyun isn’t pitiful.” Yin Xuzhao threw him another glass, thought for a moment, and said again, “But sending a painting is indeed a good idea.”

He was quite confident in his appearance, not to mention the Demon race, even within the three realms, there were quite a few lovers who asked him for love, and he didn’t believe that Chu Xuyun wouldn’t be moved.

Even if he is not moved, he should be able to start with some interest, anyway, as long as Chu Xuyun can remember him.

Yin Xuzhao raised his hand satisfactorily and rewarded the clam Demon with a magic weapon, whispering, “Clam Demon, it’s up to you to find a painter for me. I’ll give you the whole thing now. Before dark, I’ll send the painting to Chu Xuyun’s palm intact.”

The clam Demon hurriedly took the magic weapon and immediately smiled, “Thank you, Demon Lord, I will definitely handle it!”

*

The tanuki demon carried a bamboo tube on his back, and his feet were windy and fast in the magic domain. It had a strong natural disguise ability, so the task of delivering the painting fell on its head again. It was easy to avoid the demons, but there was a big formation outside the Demon Palace that was not easy to get into.

We must think of a way to do it. If Yu Xiao catches him again, his life will probably be over completely.

“But for the happiness of Demon Lord later years, it would gladly go through fire and water without hesitation!

It pondered the formation and transformed itself into the appearance of an ordinary demon cultivator.

“The Lord’s mood these days is truly excellent. The number of people he’s killed is half of what it used to be.”

“Yes, who would’ve thought we’d one day have to thank Chu Xuyun? If it weren’t for him, the Venerable  Lord would still be killing demon cultivators every now and then. We wouldn’t know when we’d all be wiped out.”

The tanuki demon sneered unhappily, “You people from the Demon Palace are indeed fortunate, but our Dragon Palace is in chaos now!

When the Immortal Monarch returns, let’s see if you’ll still be smiling.”

Having made up its mind, it quietly stuffed the bamboo tube into its inner robe, recalled Chu Xuyun’s sleeping palace from memory, and headed west. But halfway there, it was suddenly called out from behind.

“What are you doing?”

The tanuki demon froze, slowly turned around, and skillfully smiled, “I’m new here, ordered to guard Chu Xuyun’s sleeping palace.”

Hearing this, the demon cultivator opposite him looked at him suspiciously, “There’s no need to go now. If you disturb the Lord’s affairs, you won’t get away with it. Also, the formation has been strengthened these days. Be careful not to trigger it, or not even ash will be left of you.”

The tanuki demon shuddered inwardly and quickly said, “But the Lord asked me to deliver something. How should I proceed?”

It took out the bamboo tube from its bosom and said seriously, “Delaying the Lord’s affairs might affect his mood. If the Lord gets angry, our heads might not be safe…”

As soon as it finished speaking, the demon cultivator’s face indeed changed drastically. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Before entering the palace gate, silently chant the spell three times, and the formation won’t harm you. The spell is…”

The tanuki demon memorized the spell, happily grabbed the bamboo tube, and rushed away.

It concealed all its breath and waited for Yu Xiao to leave, then quickly slipped into the sleeping palace.

The tanuki demon eagerly searched for Chu Xuyun’s figure but couldn’t find him in the sleeping palace. It had to look towards the soft couch behind the screen, praying that Chu Xuyun must be inside.

Quietly bypassing the screen, it indeed saw Chu Xuyun sleeping deeply on the soft couch. Having just experienced something, Chu Xuyun’s face was flushed, as if he had been thoroughly steamed.

The tanuki demon didn’t understand. It was about to wake Chu Xuyun when it heard footsteps behind it.

In a panic, the tanuki demon couldn’t afford to wake Chu Xuyun, anxiously looking left and right, its gaze falling on Chu Xuyun’s disheveled clothes.

Forget it, let’s hide first.

It stuffed the bamboo tube containing the painting deep into Chu Xuyun’s clothes, then transformed into a small mouse and slipped under the bed.

Just as it finished hiding, a pair of black boots appeared before its eyes.

The tanuki demon’s heart nearly jumped out of its throat.

Heaven above, please don’t let me be discovered. I still want to live another five hundred years…

Yu Xiao’s gaze swept over Chu Xuyun’s sleeping face, glanced around without finding any trace of others, and intended to check if the wedding venue was ready. Suddenly sensing someone entering the formation, however.

But how come there’s no one here? Could the formation have malfunctioned?

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xiao decided not to think about anything else tonight, staying by Chu Xuyun’s side and not going anywhere else, to prevent any sinister thief from taking advantage of him.

Yu Xiao took off his outer coat, lifted a corner of the blanket, and was about to lie down beside Chu Xuyun when he noticed that Chu Xuyun’s clothes seemed to be bulging slightly in the corner.

He reached out and lifted that piece of clothing, finding a bamboo tube inside.

Yu Xiao looked at the bamboo tube in puzzlement. He clearly remembered that he had personally removed Chu Xuyun’s clothes, and there was nothing inside.

He picked up the bamboo tube, casually opened it, and poured out a thin scroll from inside. Yu Xiao slowly unfolded it, read the contents on it, and suddenly took in a sharp breath.

Yin Xuzhao,

Are you disgusting?

You actually sent a semi-nude portrait to Ah Xu. I’ll kill you
