Chapter 21 The Eve(1/3)
Because Zaizai suddenly gained a fire-breathing skill that was suspected to be inherited from the Demon Lord, Xie Wanyou's curiosity about the Demon Lord increased even more.
When she settles down in Bixiao Danzong, she must find out what kind of species the Demon Lord is!
Not to mention anything else, if the Demon Lord had any special bloodline passed down to Xiaobai, she would have been able to deal with it as soon as she knew about it in advance.
For example, Xiaobai suddenly vomited black smoke today. She didn't know its development cycle at each stage in advance. She thought Xiaobai was sick, so she was caught off guard and didn't know what to do.
If other similar emergencies occur to Xiaobai in the future, but she turns black, what if the best time to intervene is delayed?
Just thinking about it made Xie Wanyou start to worry.
Therefore, it is necessary to find out the Demon Lord!
Xie Wanyou made this decision secretly, reached out and touched Xiaobai's head, and asked the sect leader about Xiaobai's situation with some embarrassment: "According to the sect leader, do you have any other problems with Xiaobai?"
The sect leader looked at Xie Xiaobai for a moment, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "I have traveled throughout the world of cultivation, but I have never seen a creature like Xiaobai."
As the sect leader spoke, he first pinched Xiao Bai's small gray-white wings that were folded at his side, then twisted the tips of the wings, gently pulled them outward, and asked Xiao Bai: "Little guy, how do your wings feel now?"
Xiaobai nervously grabbed the back of the sect master's hand with his claws and looked at Xie Wanyou for help.
It is always a little scary to be held in the hands of a strange grandpa.
As soon as Xie Wanyou saw its big watery eyes, her whole heart softened, and she softly comforted Zai Zai: "It's okay. Xiao Bai just needs to tell her how she feels. Are the wings uncomfortable?"
Xiaobai shook his head timidly, looked at Xie Wanyou helplessly, and tried to describe his feelings: "The wings... feel so strange, a little numb, and a little itchy."
The patriarch asked kindly: "Xiao Bai, can you move your wings?"
Xie Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then when he saw Xie Wanyou's encouraging eyes, he tentatively flapped the little wings on his back.
Its little face bulged, and even the white beard on the side of the face began to tremble. It could be seen that it was working very hard. Even so, only the small wings on the left side moved a few times, and the small wings on the right side did not move for a long time.
There was no response for a long time, and he hung limply on one side.
The sect leader touched Xie Xiaobai's right wing and soon came to a conclusion: "Has the right wing been injured before? It seems that the bones are misplaced and have never grown properly."
The sect leader put Xiaobai on the table, took a pen and paper himself, and wrote down a prescription: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. Let's take Xiaobai to re-set the bones as soon as possible. He also needs to drink the medicine. He is still young and cannot use strong force."
If you don’t want medicine, you can only drink some mild medicinal soup to recover slowly.”
As soon as Xie Xiaobai was placed on the table by the sect master, he immediately jumped back into Xie Wanyou's arms, quickly shrank himself into a small ball, and only peeked out half of his head, secretly observing other people in the room.
It hid in its mother's arms trustingly, unaware of its mother's stiffness.
Ever since he heard from the sect leader that Xiaobai's right wing bone was misaligned, Xie Wanyou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
She remembered how Xiaobai's right wing was injured...
When Xiaobai was born, the original owner saw that the baby he gave birth to was actually a half-human, half-animal "monster". He was so horrified that he threw Xiaobai out with all his strength.
Xiaobai fell to the ground, and the bones of his right wing were probably broken at that time...
If Xiaobai was just an ordinary cub and was thrown to the ground with such force, he would definitely have died long ago, but Xiaobai was not. Its blood has a powerful self-healing ability from its father, and the fatal injury was healed because of this, but the wings
The dislocated bones cannot be reattached on their own.
Xie Wanyou always thought that Xiaobai could not use her wings because her nutrition had not kept up and her wings were not fully developed, but she did not expect that Xiaobai's wings still had such hidden wounds.
For a moment, Xie Wanyou's eyes couldn't help but feel hot, feeling both distressed and angry.
Xie Wanyou couldn't imagine how much pain a newborn cub would have to go through if it couldn't be taken care of and survive those days full of hunger and cold.
Xiao Bai in his arms seemed to have noticed something, and turned his little head to raise his head. Xie Wanyou held the top of his head, not wanting Zai Zai to see him losing his composure.
With his mother holding his head down, Xie Xiaobai was puzzled and a little uneasy at the same time. He called softly: "Mother?"
Xie Wanyou lowered his head and kissed the tip of its ear, pretending to be relaxed and asked: "Xiaobai will have to drink bitter medicine from now on, are you afraid?"
The tips of his ears felt hot. Xie Xiaobai couldn't help shaking his ears and said bravely: "Don't be afraid!"
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but laugh. You idiot Zaizai said he wasn't afraid before he even tasted how bitter the medicine was.
The other elders were surprised by what they saw and gathered around to study various things about Xiao Bai.
Elder Lin marveled: "There is indeed something strange. What kind of spiritual beast is this cub?"
Elder Li touched the small dark red round horns on Xie Xiaobai's head, and his eyes showed contemplation: "Does it look like antlers?"
Xie Xiaobai shivered when he was touched and couldn't help but shrink back: "It's so itchy!"
Elder Li observed Xiaobai's face and said: "The child is too young to see anything special."
Worried about the child's sensitive mind, the elders did not directly ask Xie Wanyou where the cub was that Xie Wanyou picked up.
Although Xiaobai calls Xie Wanyou mother, no one thinks that they are really related by blood. After all, there are too few examples of the combination of high-level spiritual beasts and humans, and spiritual beasts and human blood are incompatible, so most of the children born will have
Congenital disability.
Therefore, they are more inclined to believe that Xiaobai is a weak offspring abandoned by high-level spiritual beasts.
None of the elders could recognize Xie Xiaobai's true identity. Some elders said that it was very similar to the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, but they were overturned by other elders: "Qiongqi is a ferocious beast, and Xiaobai is a spiritual beast. How can they be the same? Let's talk about Qiongqi.
The fur on Qi’s body is like a hedgehog’s thorns, how can it be so soft?”
Xie Wanyou also felt that Xiaobai didn't look like Qiongqi - at least he hadn't heard that Qiongqi's blood had healing properties.
After a dispute with no result, the sect leader finally spoke up to mediate: "Okay, the child is still young, what can you see now? You will know everything when Xiaobai is older."
The sect master handed the prescription to Xie Wanyou and looked at the darkening sky outside: "It's getting late, let Ruxi take you to rest."
Xie Wanyou took the prescription and felt embarrassed.
People outside wanted the sect leader to see a doctor, and the consultation fee alone cost a sky-high price of spiritual stones. But when she first came to the Bixiao Alchemy Sect, she got a consultation from a top alchemist in vain.
Xie Wanyou has never liked to owe others anything. After receiving so much preferential treatment from Bixiao Danzong, she must find a way to repay it in the future.
Xie Wanyou has not officially joined the Bixiao Dan Sect, so the Dan Sect arranged for her an outer room to receive guests.
Luo Ruxi walked in front with the lantern on, turned her head to look at Xie Wanyou, and said in a cheerful voice: "There are still three days until the trial competition. When you officially join our Bixiao Alchemy Sect, little junior sister, how about you move in next door to me?
?We can go to the class together then!"
Of course Xie Wanyou had no objection and nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
She looked at the orange-yellow lantern in Luo Ruxi's hand, and suddenly remembered that in modern times, no matter which school she was in, she was always alone.
Walking on campus alone, eating alone, returning to the dormitory alone, lying on the table writing furiously.
The turbulent crowd passed through her, and everyone seemed to have a companion, but she was alone, swimming upstream.
But now, she seems to have a companion.
Luo Ruxi sent Xie Wanyou to the room and talked to her for a while. It wasn't until Xie Wanyou urged her to go back to rest that she kissed Xiaobai a few times and left without looking back.
Watching the orange light disappear in the distance, Xie Wanyou closed the door and placed Xiao Bai on the quilt.
It was late at night, and Xiao Bai felt a little sleepy. As soon as he touched the quilt, he lay down with a "snap", spread out his four pink paws, exposed his soft belly to Xie Wanyou, and hummed coquettishly: "Mom, touch me~"
It is said that when a cat shows its belly to its owner, it is a sign of trust in the owner. When Xiaobai starts to turn its belly on her, does this mean that it already trusts her enough?
Xie Wanyou's eyes lit up, and without being polite to Zaizai, he stretched out a hand and directly touched Xiaobai's soft belly.
Xiaobai's entire cub was only as big as the palm of his hand. Xie Wanyou opened his hand and touched its belly, almost covering it.
However, Xie Xiaobai didn't feel the danger. He squinted his eyes, purred comfortably in his throat, and began to wag his tail from side to side.
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but rest on top of Xiao Bai, first rubbed it all over, and then lowered her head to suck on its soft belly. She was addicted to sucking on the plush stuff and couldn't help herself: "My darling, why are you so cute!"
Xie Xiaobai was so rubbed that he couldn't help laughing: "Mom, your mouth is stained with Xiaobai's hair!"
"..." Xie Wanyou plucked the hair off her mouth as if nothing had happened. Thinking of something, she lifted her body up a little and took out the pendant.
Xie Wanyou couldn't figure out how to use it, so he simply knocked on the system: "Tongzi, how do you use this thing?"
System: [Important props, no comment...the host needs to explore the opening conditions by himself]
Xie Wanyou: "What do I need from you?"
However, since the system mentioned that there are conditions for opening it, does that mean that the pendant is still unopened?
In the literature on cultivating immortals, if you want to unlock the seal of a certain spiritual weapon, isn't the most frequently used method -
Use blood to break the seal!
Xie Wanyou thought for a while and felt that this method was indeed quite reliable. Since the system said that Zai Zai could use the pendant, it must be usable. And the last owner of this spiritual weapon was Zai Zai's father, the Demon Lord. To say that they
What the two have in common is blood.
Then try it now?
Xie Wanyou hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to let Xiao Bai try it first. Considering that Xiao Bai had bad memories of taking blood, Xie Wanyou decided to explain it clearly to Xiao Bai first.
Turning the coquettish Zaizai over, Xie Wanyou showed Xiaobai the pendant in her hand, and tried to explain it in words that Xiaobai could understand: "Xiaobai, you see, this is a very powerful thing, but it is closed now
It's gone, so we can't use it anymore. We have to open it. Only by opening it can it protect Xiaobai."
Xie Xiaobai blinked his gray-blue eyes and looked at the thing in his mother's hand curiously: "Then how can we open it?"
Xie Wanyou hesitated and said: "It may require a drop of Xiaobai's blood...but I can't guarantee that I can open it."
"It's okay, Xiaobai has a lot of blood." Xie Xiaobai seemed to have completely forgotten about his mother drinking its blood before. He immediately nodded in agreement and wanted to bite the claws.
Xie Wanyou quickly stopped it. After thinking about it, she pulled out the hairpin on her head and burned it with a candle for a moment. Then she pinched one of Xiaobai's paws and said, "If Xiaobai is scared, just close your eyes."
