Poor girl is hated by everyone, villains drive her crazy

Zhong Xian had all these refugees taken away and dealt with according to the law for murder.

He also arranged for the dead to be buried properly, and he did not say a word about the accusations made by the refugees, as if he did not take them to heart.

But even if he didn't show any abnormality, Yu Xi was always hanging on him. Cui Yuankui and Qing Pei, who hurried over after hearing the news, also stayed beside Zhong Xian. They followed Zhong Xian wherever he went.

After inspecting the situation inside and outside the city, Zhong Xian turned around and met three pairs of worried eyes. He couldn't help but said with a smile:

"What are you doing? You've been following me all day."

As he spoke, he picked up Yu Xi, who had turned back into a human form, and said, "Xiao Xi'er, you must be suffering from the heat. Let's go back and ask the cook to make you some mung bean soup."

Yu Xi was probably wilting from the heat, so she nodded and said, "Brother, drink with us."

Zhong Xian laughed out loud.

"Don't worry." Zhong Xian said quickly: "Their words can't hurt me. I knew from the beginning that I am just an ordinary person. It is impossible for me to satisfy everyone. All I can do is to try my best to protect them."

Seeing that Zhong Xian really didn't take those people's words to heart, Qing Pei breathed a sigh of relief first, and came over eagerly and said, "Brother Wen Yu, my sister looks very hot, why don't we let her go to where we mermaids live to rest, it's cooler there."

As he said this, he looked at Yu Xi and said, "I'll treat my sister to fish. Grilled fish, fried fish, boiled fish, anything is fine!"

Zhong Xian felt distressed when he saw that Yu Xi was almost melting with fever. After exchanging glances with Cui Yuankui, they had no objection and handed Yu Xi to Qing Pei.

Of course Yu Xi was unwilling to leave. No matter what Zhong Xian said or how she smiled, she knew that Zhong Xian was not in a good mood at the moment.

This was an emotion she could sense without any mind-reading skills.

She held onto Zhong Xian's sleeve tightly and refused to let go. She wanted to escape the summer heat, and Zhong Xian and the others couldn't suffer from the heat either, so they went together.

"Brother, if it's cooler over there, wouldn't it be better if we go there together? I don't want to be separated from my brother."

She knew that Zhong Xian could not stand her pitiful and coquettish behavior. The tips of her ears drooped pitifully, and her eyes were watery without any instruction. Even her voice sounded like beads and strings, scratching Zhong Xian's heart like little claws.

Zhong Xian was completely defeated, with only his firm will barely holding on. He hesitated and said, "But——"

Yu Xi put his hands on Zhong Xian's waist.

You don’t eat soft things, right?

Zhong Xian: “…”

After a series of attacks, Zhong Xian was defeated miserably and followed Yu Xi obediently. They all went to Qingpei to escape the summer heat.

Cui Yuankui walked beside them, grinning.

"Wen Yu, what's wrong with you as a brother? Why are you being controlled so tightly by your younger sister? What did I say? You are too soft-hearted and too easy to be bullied."

Zhong Xian ignored him and said to Yu Xi in his arms, "Xiao Xi'er, Brother Yuan Kui is laughing at the two of us."

Yu Xi immediately squinted his eyes and glared at Cui Yuankui, then snorted.

Cui Yuankui: !!!

"No, I was wrong. I really didn't laugh at you, little sister! I am innocent!"

He quickly protested his injustice and coaxed Yu Xi in a gentle manner along the way.

Qingpei didn't want to get involved in their secret fight, and just held Yu Xi's tail lovingly all the way.

I never realized that hugging a furry thing is so comfortable before. Why is my sister's tail so special? Is it a unique talent of a fox demon?

When he gets back, he will hang pearls and gems all over his sister's tail!

The place where these mermaids live in Qingpei is located in the back mountains south of Qiuluo City.

The mountain stream is cold and quiet, but there are many undercurrents, so mermaids can swim freely in the mountains.

There is also a lake hidden in the mountain stream. The lake is crystal clear and it is also the place where the mermaids make their home.

Qingpei usually walks on two feet. Apart from the fact that his ears are fins and some parts of his body are covered with scales, he is no different from an ordinary person.

But after entering the water, the clear legs can turn into a long fish tail.

The fish is beautiful and each scale on its tail is colorful. When underwater, the bright colors sway with the water light, like colorful gems.

His fish tail is longer and more beautiful than that of other mermaids.

Mermaids are timid by nature and do not like to see outsiders, which is why most people outside believe that the mermaids have been exterminated.

When these mermaids saw someone coming, they immediately hid in the water, but when they saw that the person coming was Zhong Xian, they all popped their heads out again.

"Lord City Lord!"

They shouted enthusiastically and happily.

As soon as they saw Zhong Xian, they immediately took out the treasures they had collected and presented them to Zhong Xian to give them to him.

The male mermaid gave Zhong Xian all kinds of delicious-looking fish, trying to get her to go play in the water. The female mermaid gave her shells, pearls and gems as a bold expression of her love, and she almost buried Zhong Xian with handfuls of them.

Yu Xi saw Zhong Xian push the gift back helplessly with red ears. She had a head full of jewels and still responded to the mermaids' enthusiasm gently, as if she finally understood why Zhong Xian didn't come to the mermaids.

The mermaid is so enthusiastic!

Qing Pei and Cui Yuankui both seemed to be used to it. Cui Yuankui even took out a cool mat from his storage ring and spread it on the ground, inviting Yu Xi to come over to enjoy the cool air and gloat over their misfortune together.

Just as Yu Xi was about to go over, she was also discovered by the mermaids.

"What is this?" a mermaid asked.

Zhong Xian suddenly smiled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Xi was much gentler than when he looked at other people:

"This is my sister Xiao Xier. Well, I like her the best."

Then he pushed Yu Xi to the enthusiastic mermaid and ran away.

Yu Xi: ???

No, brother?!

The merman had never seen a new species like Yu Xi before. She was so cute and furry, and smelled fragrant when he held her. His enthusiasm instantly shifted from Zhong Xian to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi struggled to survive among the mermaids. His tail was covered with round and plump pearls, sparkling and shining, and his value soared.

She sat on the shore, looking at the shells brought by the mermaids with curiosity, but her ears were folded back to eavesdrop on the conversation between Zhong Xian and Cui Yuankui.

When Zhong Xian sat next to Cui Yuankui, the first thing he said was:

"When did Brother Yuan Kui find out that the Immortal Sect already knew about my physique?"

When Zhong Xian ascended to heaven, Cui Yuankui noticed the peculiarity of his physique at a glance. He helped him cover up and invited him to join the Songshan Sect.

But Zhong Xian didn't want to become an immortal, so he refused.

But now even the refugees know about it, and I'm afraid it has already spread among the immortals.

"When I came here this time, I don't know how the Immortal Gate found out."

"You should have told me earlier." Zhong Xian sighed, "Whether you tell me or not, I need to relocate the demon tribe. You are under a lot of pressure. I can't help you much right now. No matter what, I can't hold you back any longer."

Cui Yuankui didn't mean to hide it, he just didn't know how to tell Zhong Xian.

Zhong Xian said that he was under pressure, but what about Zhong Xian himself?

The pressure on him is no less than that on anyone else.
