Taoist Xuanyou and Sect Leader Shen both know the Demon Lord's strength. It is indeed a good plan for him to take Xie Wanyou, who knows medicinal materials, into the Yuankong Secret Realm.

Taoist Xuanyou discussed with Sect Master Shen for a moment and decided that it was feasible. First of all, the Yuankong Secret Realm was not a dangerous secret realm. Even Xie Wanyou, who was in the golden elixir stage, would not lose his life if he entered it. It would be safer if there was a Demon Lord escorting him.

.

Feng Ranzhou had no objection to this, and the matter was settled as such for the time being.

After coming out of the dungeon, Taoist Xuanyou took Sect Master Shen to the private treasury to study the demonic medicinal materials he had collected over the years. Once the two seniors left, only Xie Wanyou and Feng Ranzhou were left - and a cub.

.

Xie Zhuoxing was still using his claws to hook Feng Ranzhou's silver hair and playfully nibbling on it. Suddenly, he noticed that his mother and Uncle Fox were not talking, so he stopped in confusion and looked up at the two adults in confusion.

Xie Wanyou was originally following Feng Ranzhou, but suddenly he quickened his pace and stood in front of Feng Ranzhou.

Feng Ranzhou stopped for a moment, lowered his eyes and looked at her seriously: "What are you doing?"

Xie Wanyou asked directly: "How long do you want to hide from me?"

Feng Ranzhou's expression remained as calm as ever, as cold as a sculpture made of ice and snow: "Until you give up that idea."

"Then I've given up." Xie Wanyou immediately borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "Can you stop hiding from me?"

"..." Feng Ranzhou walked around her: "Giving up cannot be proven by just talking."

Xie Wanyou finally understood how arrogant a person could be, and he followed up again with a smile: "Then how can we prove it?"

She couldn't blame her for insisting on pressing to the end. It was Feng Ranzhou's attitude - he didn't refuse harshly even if he refused, but he seemed to be far away from him, which made Xie Wanyou feel like he was playing hard to get.

This feeling is quite a novel experience, so Xie Wanyou is not in a hurry to do anything else, just grinding him like this, seeing him helplessly troubled by this, but unable to do anything about it... It's actually quite interesting.

.

Xie Wanyou admitted that he had a bit of a bad taste in him.

It is said that those who are favored are confident. She was just sure that Feng Ranzhou was not unintentional towards her. Otherwise, with Feng Ranzhou's temperament, the next second she confessed her feelings, she would be directly attacked by him.

Throw it out.

Xie Wanyou smiled, and Feng Ranzhi glanced at her sideways: "You don't need to prove it, I have eyes and can see it myself."

Xie Wanyou couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "What can you tell? You don't understand anything..." He didn't even touch his hand, and his whole body looked like a piece of wood.

Feng Ran's voice became dangerous: "...what did you say?"

Xie Wanyou said sarcastically: "It's nothing. I praise you for your sharp eyes."

"..."

Feng Ranzhou no longer wanted to talk to Xie Wanyou. He stretched out his hand to pull his hair out of the cub's mouth, frowned in disgust, and wiped the bitten hair on its back.

Xie Zhuoxing didn't pay any attention to Feng Ranzhou's movements. He raised his hairy paw and licked it again and again, squinting his eyes with a look of fascination.

Feng Ranzhou patted its head and deliberately disturbed it from chewing its paws. Xie Zhuoxing was so angry that he hugged his fingers and kicked the back of his hands with his hind legs.

Feng Ranzhou allowed the cub to retaliate against him, but remained unmoved. He even had the thought to put his fingers into its mouth and touch its half-grown fangs.

Xie Zhuoxing pressed his claws against his fingers and struggled on all fours: "Uh-huh!"

The father and son hurt each other every day, and Xie Wanyou was used to it. After watching it for a while, he suddenly thought of a question: "So this time when we go to Yuankong Secret Realm, do we want to take Xiaobai with us?"

When Xie Zhuoxing heard this, his big gray-blue eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately looked at Xie Wanyou, hinting with his small eyes that he wanted to go!

Feng Ranzhou took his fingers out of the cub's mouth and wiped it with the fur on its back again: "If you don't take it with you, it's not particularly safe to leave it alone in the Demon Palace or the Bixiao Alchemy Sect. It's better to take it with you."

Since he was so determined to protect Zaizai in the Yuankong Secret Realm, Xie Wanyou felt relieved. After all, in the original plot, Xiaobai was discovered by Shenqi and taken away. If Xiaobai was left alone where she could not see, she would not be able to see him.

Very reassuring.

When they walked together under a bare tree, Feng Ranzhi paused and suddenly said: "There are still twenty days, and I will make the longevity lock during this period."

Xie Wanyou was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Feng Ranzhou had long said that he would make a longevity lock for Xiao Bai, and they also finalized the blueprint of the longevity lock together.

Now that they are about to set off to the Yuankong Secret Realm, if Xiaobai is allowed to wear this magic weapon, its safety will be better ensured.

But this way, they won't be able to see each other for a long time...

Refining weapons is not as fast as refining elixirs. It requires repeated quenching of various materials, including forging, quenching, smelting... and a series of time-consuming and laborious processes, which often take longer than refining elixirs.

The higher the level of the magic weapon, the longer it takes to cast it. It is reasonable to say that it takes a full twenty days.

But Xie Wan had a vague feeling that Feng Ranzhou was using this as an excuse to hide from her. However, she had no evidence, so she temporarily put aside her suspicion and nodded sadly: "Okay... Then how long will it take for you to come out?"

Feng Ranzhou's eyes flashed slightly: "I don't know."

Xie Wanyou nodded and didn't ask anything else. He just kicked the small stone beside the tree unhappily: "Then you go, see you in twenty days... Xiaobai, let's go back to Bixiao Alchemy Sect."

Xie Zhuoxing responded immediately, spread his wings, and flew from Feng Ranzhou to Xie Wanyou's arms without looking back.

Xie Wanyou touched Xiao Bai's head, finally raised his eyes to look at Feng Ranzhou, then turned and left.

Xie Zhuoxing seemed to understand something. He stepped on Xie Wanyou's arm and stood up straight. He lay on Xie Wanyou's shoulder and looked at Feng Ranzhou. His eyes were full of hatred that iron cannot become steel.

The stupid Uncle Fox can't speak and makes my mother unhappy again.

Feng Ranzhou, who was despised by the cubs: "..."

Feng Ranzhou felt a little headache looking at Xie Wanyou's leaving figure.

He naturally knew that Xie Wanyou must also be angry in his heart.

But he... really couldn't promise Xie Wanyou.

He thought that maybe Xie Wanyou was just obsessed with his skin and was temporarily fascinated by sex, so he had such thoughts about him. As long as they didn't see each other for a long time, it would be fine if Xie Wanyou calmed down and saw his feelings for him clearly...

They can then return to the cooperative relationship they had before.

Feng Ranzhou thought like this, standing under the bare tree, watching Xie Wanyou move away from him until he disappeared from his sight.

A window in the distance opened quietly. Taoist Xuanyou lay on the window and commented with interest: "One can see clearly and the other cannot see through. This pair of young people is quite interesting. Shen Qingshuang, the apprentice is broken in love and can't be seen."

Are you anxious?"

Sect Leader Shen rolled up his sleeves and looked over calmly: "Wanyou is an open-minded child. I'm not afraid that she will be sad about this. The more troublesome person is probably the Demon Lord."

Taoist Xuanyou chuckled and said: "He rejected Wanyou. Although he was very ungrateful, he did nothing wrong. I was afraid that he would really fall in love with him. This kind of person can be cruel and ruthless when he doesn't care. Once he starts to care,

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will give rise to terrible obsessions that will last until death."

"So forget it if you can't do it. It's a good thing." Taoist Xuanyou stretched his waist and sighed: "Winter is a season full of regrets."

A gust of wind blew by, and the bare branches began to sway, making a rustling sound.

…

"So you guys separated like this?"

Luo Ruxi was cracking melon seeds and looking at the junior sister sitting across from the stone table with a confused look on her face.

Xie Wanyou held up her chin, twirled her long hair with her fingers, and said absently: "Yes."

Luo Ruxi couldn't help but breathe in: "So cold, so heartless, so difficult to deal with..."

"Yeah," Xie Wanyou pressed his forehead: "Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. I don't have to do it with him. I'm tired of avoiding me so many times."

Luo Ruxi immediately gave a thumbs up: "That's right! That's it! For men, we should have the awareness not to hang ourselves on a tree!"

Xie Wanyou curved her lips and smiled, the disappointment in her heart dissipated a little. She lowered her head and kissed Xie Zhuoxing, who was squatting obediently on the table. She buried her head in his fur and took a deep breath: "As long as the little tiger is with me, I will."

That’s enough, right?”

Xie Zhuoxing nodded seriously: "Yes! Uncle Fox is too stupid. Mom, don't stay with him anymore, maybe you will become stupid too."

When Luo Ruxi heard this, she burst out laughing.

Smiling and laughing, I felt something was wrong, Uncle Fox? Isn’t that what Xiaobai called the disciple of the Hehuan Sect...

Luo Ruxi realized that something was not simple, and was about to ask more questions, but Xie Wanyou happened to ask at this time: "By the way, senior sister, are our classes about to end? Are all your herbs okay?"

Luo Ruxi was stunned for a moment, her attention was immediately diverted, and she said nervously: "Don't mention it, the temperature has dropped sharply recently, and my herbs almost froze to death. I have to go there every day to take a look... Where are your herbs? But Qian Qian

Don’t freeze to death, or you’ll have to do it all over again next year!”

Xie Wanyou: "My herbs are fine. I'm just afraid of the snow."

Luo Ruxi spoke with tears in her eyes: "With this temperature, it should snow soon. You must pay attention and don't make the same mistake as my senior sister."

Xie Wanyou said with a smile: "Senior sister, I will definitely remember the lessons you learned through retraining."

The two chatted about other things again, and Luo Ruxi forgot the question she just wanted to ask.

After not going to the Demon Palace for training, Xie Wanyou's life became calm again.

He went to class, took care of herbs, made elixirs, went out to play with Xiao Bai, and went to Fufeng Pavilion to sell elixirs. The spare time was used to read the books in the library and practice sword skills.

This kind of life is very abundant, and time flies by in the blink of an eye. Occasionally, Xie Wanyou will think of Feng Ranzhou, and when he can't sleep in the middle of the night, he will go to the Demon Palace.

It's a pity that I have never met Feng Ranzhou.

Xie Wanyou was a little funny. Feng Ran was not around, so she went in and out of the Demonic Palace as if she was in a deserted place. Looking at it this way, she looked more like the owner of this Demonic Palace.

That night, Xie Wanyou walked around the Demon Palace doing nothing, and couldn't even see a single tiger hair. He sighed as usual and returned to the Bixiao Alchemy Sect.

After she left, a skeleton came to the place where she walked, crunched and bent down, picked up a red sword spike that fell on the ground, then held it in his hand and sent it to the weapon refining room.
