After I left, the devil was distraught

Xueqiong couldn't help sighing, and let Xiaotuanzi help him re-spray the medicine and bandage seriously.

Looking at the small balls on the palm of her hand that had been tied for a long time, but there were still some ugly knots, there was a moment of warmth in Xue Qiong's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

After a long time, he wiped the tears from Xiaotuanzi's face with his uninjured hand, and gently picked him up and hugged him into his arms.

Xiaotuanzi did not move obediently, but stared at Xueqiong with burning eyes.

Facing the little guy's wet eyes, Xueqiong couldn't help muttering to herself: "You really...are very different from before, but are you really...still him... ..."

Xueqiong's voice was so low that Xiaotuanzi was confused. He was just about to ask, but he heard a knock on the door.

This time, before Xueqiong got up, Xiaotuanzi quickly jumped down and ran to open the door.

It was Liu Fengmian who came, and as soon as he entered the door, he said hurriedly, out of breath, "Quick, pack your things, let's go!"

It took Liu Fengmian a lot of strength to get rid of his one-sided master, and he was in a hurry to leave.

Xueqiong didn't ask him, she collected her things and took Xiaotuanzi and left Nanqing Town with Liu Fengmian.

----

For the next half a year, they were the same as before, where there was chaos, they would set off to quell the chaos.

Only this time, Xue Qiong had a little dumpling beside her.

Since Xueqiong was injured that time, Xiaotuanzi has been practicing hard every day, and has never been lazy again.

But more than half a year has passed, no matter how hard he tried, he only gathered a few traces of thin devil energy, and he couldn't do anything at all.

Xiaotuanzi was annoyed by this.

In fact, not only Xiaotuanzi was puzzled, Xueqiong was even more puzzled.

Until one chance coincidence, the three went to a town.

Demons are prevalent in that town, and the living people stay behind closed doors.

The town has been occupied by monsters for too long, and it is lifeless everywhere, but Xiaotuanzi's cultivation in such an environment has inexplicably improved by leaps and bounds.

It was only then that Xue Qiong realized that perhaps he had been wrong from the very beginning. He had always taken Xiao Ember to a place with pure spiritual power to cultivate, but he ignored that Xiao Tuanzi was different from him, his spiritual power was extremely pure. Jing, but Ember cultivated the way of magic.

Realizing this, Xueqiong bid farewell to Liu Fengmian without hesitation, and left the mortal world with little embers to the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm is no longer the original Demon Realm, and now the strong in the Demon Realm are respected, and there are no other rules besides this.

Therefore, many demons with high cultivation base will bully the weak without scruple, and the whole demon world is already in chaos, and the people are in dire straits.

Along the way, there were many incidents where weak and kind demons were killed. Xueqiong felt compassionate and would rescue them, but she also knew that nothing could be changed by her own efforts.

Now the only hope of the demon world rests on Ember.

But at this moment, Xiaotuanzi obviously didn't understand these things, he only had his master in his eyes.

----

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed in the Demon Realm.

Xueqiong took Xiaotuanzi to find a hidden mountain forest with no one in it, found a stone cave and took care of it before officially living in it.

This time, he read all the classics of the demon clan that Shuoyue gave him in advance, and he also knew how to help little ember. He had to catch some monsters to get their magic cores and return them to ember.

Catching monsters is not difficult, but it is dangerous after all. Xueqiong didn't want to take Xiaotuanzi with her, so she coaxed and pretended to be angry. It took a lot of effort to talk to Xiaotuanzi.

Before setting off, Xueqiong told her worriedly: "Jin, you must obediently stay in the barrier, and don't run out, you understand?"

"...Master, I understand..." Although Xiaotuanzi agreed quickly, he still tugged on Xueqiong's sleeve very reluctantly, reluctant to let go for a long time. open.

Xueqiong sighed helplessly, so she pretended to be angry and her face darkened, and said in a cold voice, "Jin, be obedient."

Xiaotuanzi pursed his mouth, and finally let go of his hand.

Xueqiong made up her mind not to look at his aggrieved expression, and set off towards the outside.

Watching Xueqiong leave, Xiaotuanzi's eyes turned red.

It was still early, and the master said that he would be back before dark, probably a long, long time.

After thinking for a while, Xiaotuanzi went to the side and moved a big stone to the edge of the barrier, and then sat down on the stone.

He was really obedient, even if he saw a little rabbit jumping around outside the barrier, he didn't go out, he just looked at it curiously.

But the little rabbit hopped and hopped into the enchantment, and even hopped to his feet with great vigor. bunny.

The rabbit was very strange, it was not afraid of being caught, but instead rubbed its head against Little Ember very affectionately.

Little Ember couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, the master clearly said that this barrier would stop creatures with mana, but if this rabbit has no mana, why wouldn't it be afraid of him?

After much deliberation, Xiaotuanzi decided to ask his master when he came back.

With the little rabbit as his companion, time seemed to pass by a long time. He sat on the stone with the little rabbit in his arms, watched the direction the master left, gently shaking his calf, and waited obediently.

----

It was late when Xueqiong came back, in order to get more magic cores as soon as possible, he hardly had a rest all day.

But remembering the promise he made to Xiaotuanzi, he rushed back to his residence before sunset.

From a distance, he saw the little guy at the entrance of the cave. Although he had expected it, his heart was still relented after seeing this scene.

She stepped up and was about to walk over, but Xueqiong suddenly noticed the whiteness of Xiaotuanzi's embrace.

His movements faltered, but he couldn't help but froze.

As soon as Xiaotuanzi looked up, he saw Xueqiong, and immediately stood up with a happy smile and hurriedly called master.

Xue Qiong suddenly came back to her senses, raised her foot and walked over again, and saw clearly the rabbit in Little Ember's arms.

He subconsciously frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You went out?"

Hearing this, the smile on Xiaotuanzi's face disappeared instantly, he shook his head and hurriedly explained: "No, it jumped to my feet by itself and didn't leave."

He then asked cautiously, "Master, can I keep it?"

This rabbit is so similar to the snow velvet back then, looking at it, Xueqiong can't help but think of the painful past.

So he shook his head with little hesitation, and refused in a cold voice: "No, you can't raise it. The most urgent thing is that you have to cultivate hard, and you can't lose your mind by playing with things."

How could Xiaotuanzi reject his master?

Even though there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, he still nodded with red eyes, quickly squatted down and put the rabbit in the snow.

Sniffing, Xiaotuanzi hid his sadness, walked over and carefully took Xueqiong's hand and whispered: "...Master, it's cold outside, let's go back."

"En." Xueqiong nodded slightly, and led Xiaotuanzi towards the cave.

Unable to help himself, before entering the cave, Xiaotuanzi looked back at the rabbit, only to find that the rabbit was not far or near behind them, and wanted to follow them into the cave.

He finally couldn't help shaking Xueqiong's hand, and prayed in a low voice:

"...Master, let's leave it alone."

"Look, it has been following, trying to follow us in."

Hearing this, Xueqiong looked in the direction Xiaotuanzi pointed, and she really saw the rabbit bouncing after them.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse.

But after looking back at Little Ember, he met those eyes full of pleading, but he couldn't say the words of refusal.

He couldn't help thinking that for so long, he always wanted to let go, but he still couldn't let go.

He was so anxious to restore Ember to his cultivation, but he just wanted to leave him behind.

Although he treats Xiao Tuanzi well, but many times, he deliberately avoids his soft heart towards Little Ember. For example, at this time, he almost subconsciously added the resentment he once had towards Ember to Xiao Tuanzi.

But little Ember didn't understand anything, she almost instinctively protected him with her life, and tried her best to treat him well.

After a long time, Xueqiong came back to her senses, and said softly: "If you want to stay, then you can stay, but you have to be responsible for him... and you must... take good care of him."

Who knows who this sentence is talking about?

Xiaotuanzi didn't understand the meaning, he nodded in surprise and ran over to pick up the little rabbit, then took Xueqiong's hand again and went back into the cave.

Xue Qiong's eyes darkened, she sighed and sat down on the stool.

Taking out the magic core he got today from the storage ring, he wanted to call Xiaotuanzi over, but what came out were two violent coughs that were hard to suppress.

"Cough cough...cough..."

Xiao Tuanzi ran over anxiously when he heard the voice, his face was full of worry: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Qiong waved her hands to show that she was fine, suppressing the bloody smell in her chest before speaking: "No problem."

After a pause, he took Xiaotuanzi's hand and put five small magic cores emitting purple light into his hands: "This is the beast core of a monster, try to see if you can absorb the magic energy from it."

Xiaotuanzi squeezed the magic core in his hand, still looked at Xueqiong worriedly: "Master...you—"

"Be obedient, give it a try." Xue Qiong interrupted Xiao Ember's words in a deep voice.

Ember looked straight at Xueqiong, and didn't speak for a long time.

He clearly smelled blood, but the master didn't want to talk to him.

But he could guess that it must be because of the magic cores in his hand that the master was injured.

The master has told him many times that he shoulders the important task of revitalizing the demon world, but he has never taken it seriously before, but now that the master has put in a lot of effort to improve his cultivation, and even got injured, he can no longer be indifferent .

At the beginning, he was in a daze, and he didn't understand a few words of that demon called Shuoyue, but now that he thinks about it, there are many things worth thinking about.

Little Ember didn't ask again, but silently made up her mind in her heart.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and answered, "Okay."
