By the time Xie Wanyou collected enough bones to grow flowers and returned to the Demon Palace, it was almost late at night.

After fighting in the pile of bones for a whole day, Xie Wanyou was not only in a state of embarrassment, but also felt that his body was also faintly stained with the putrid smell. He used the Dust Removal Technique several times but couldn't remove it, so he simply soaked in the cold lake and washed it.

I took a shower and changed into a whole set of clothes.

The water in Han Lake is undoubtedly extremely cold. Fortunately, Xie Wanyou has ice spiritual roots, so he can resist the biting cold by using his spiritual power within his body.

After soaking in the lake for a while, Xie Wanyou came ashore with wet long hair, put on a white undershirt, lowered his head and tied his belt.

At this time, she heard a scratching at the door, and together with the scratching at the door, there was a childish voice asking: "Mother, are you done washing?"

"It's washed." Xie Wanyou quickly walked over and opened the door, and saw the little guy squatting upright at the door, wagging his tail and looking up at her. Xie Wanyou picked it up and kissed it as usual: "Why isn't the baby in the room?

Are you waiting for mother?"

Xie Zhuoxing narrowed his eyes because of the kiss, and said shyly: "The water in the lake is very deep, and Xiaobai is afraid that her mother will suddenly forget how to swim, so she wants to guard her."

Only then did Xie Wanyou realize that the child was afraid of drowning and had only called her every once in a while.

"Little fool," Xie Wanyou's heart softened, and he pinched its cheeks: "Thank you, little fool, for guarding my mother. She took a bath safely."

Xie Zhuoxing's cheeks were pinched, and the beard on both sides of his cheeks also curled up, making him look even more adorable.

"It's the little tiger!" Xie Wanyou was instantly addicted to cats. He kissed its little beard on both sides: "Kiss all the little tiger's beards off!"

Xie Zhuoxing giggled when he was kissed, and his paws blossomed.

One person and one cub are a loving mother and a filial son. Suddenly, someone next to them coughed heavily.

Xie Wanyou just woke up from a dream. He raised his head and saw the person leaning against the pillar, and said slightly embarrassed: "Why is Lord Demon Lord here?" Then the way she just acted like a cat to Zaizai, wasn't it all attracted to him?

In the eyes of income?

"I have something to tell you." Feng Ranzhi glanced at her, his eyes somewhat speechless.

Xie Wanyou pretended not to understand and patted Xiao Bai's little head as if nothing had happened: "Oh... Lord Demon Lord, please tell me."

Feng Ranzhou didn't speak immediately, but looked away: "You...are only wearing these?"

Xie Wanyou glanced at herself. It was extremely hot in the Demon Palace, so she only wore a robe outside her inner clothes, which was gathered loosely. It looked like she was not that particular.

However... Xie Wanyou couldn't help but secretly think that Feng Ranzhou's acceptance level was too low, and she didn't reveal much. Why was he so avoidant?

She already has a child, and he, the demon king who kills people so much, is still entangled with her.

Xie Wanyou felt funny in his heart, and couldn't help but have a bit of bad taste. He wanted to see how innocent Feng Ranzhou could be, so he deliberately took a few steps forward and came to him, but explained seriously on his face: "It's too hot.

, and I will ask Xiaobai to help me apply the medicine later, so it will be more convenient."

As soon as she approached, Feng Ranzhou had the urge to retreat. He frowned slightly and suppressed this inexplicable thought: "Apply medicine?"

Xie Wanyou observed his expression, nodded and said, "Yes, I can't apply it on my back."

Just talk, why are you so close? Feng Ranzhou pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at the cub nestled in Xie Wanyou's arms, and asked doubtfully: "Can its claws give you good medicine?"

When Feng Ranzhou questioned, Xie Zhuoxing immediately opened his eyes wide and showed him his claws angrily: "Of course! Xiaobai keep your nails away, you won't hurt your mother!"

"..." Feng Ranzhou looked at its pink paw pads and the sharp nails that were not obvious in the claws, and finally closed his eyes helplessly: "Give me the medicine."

"You want to apply it for me?" This was completely beyond Xie Wanyou's expectation. She hesitated for a moment and refused: "Isn't this...not good?"

"It's still small, so it's hard to control the strength and its movements are slow." Feng Ranzhou glanced at Xie Zhuoxing and saw that it seemed to want to talk, so he took the lead and said: "It's so late, so finish applying it and rest early."

Xie Zhuoxing heard that he could let his mother rest early, so he stopped fighting with Uncle Fox for the right to apply the medicine.

It angrily took a bite of its own paw.

It's all because Claws and Claws failed to live up to expectations and couldn't transform into hands, so the bad guy Uncle Fox got the chance to apply medicine to my mother!

Xie Wanyou noticed Xiaobai's movements and coaxed in a fit of laughter and tears: "When Xiaobai transforms into a human form, let Xiaobai apply medicine to mother, okay?"

Xiaobai was immediately full of expectation and said: "Mom, when can Xiaobai transform into a human form?"

Xie Wanyou didn't know either, so he could only look at Feng Ranzhou expectantly.

Feng Ran glanced at the cub: "It's probably when the third tail grows."

As soon as Feng Ranzhou said these words, Xie Zhuoxing was completely dumbfounded. He turned to Xie Wanyou in horror and asked for confirmation: "Mother, will Xiaobai grow three tails in the future?"

"Not just three, but nine." Feng Ranzhou answered directly for Xie Wanyou, and added maliciously: "In more than ten days, you will grow a second tail, are you surprised?"

Xie Zhuoxing was not surprised at all. Thinking that he would grow an extra tail, he dived into Xie Wanyou's arms in fear and said in a low voice: "Xiaobai doesn't want a second tail—nor nine tails."

Xie Wanyou asked patiently: "Why doesn't Xiaobai want other tails?"

"Because... it's a bit strange." Xie Zhuoxing said in a low voice, struggling, "It looks good with only one tail."

"But the tail is a sign that Xiaobai has grown up~" Xie Wanyou said: "Grow an extra tail, and Xiaobai will become more powerful, and he will be able to protect his mother in the future."

When Xie Zhuoxing heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Really?" It really wants to protect its mother!

"Really!" Xie Wanyou thought for a while: "Moreover, if there is only one tail, will that tail be lonely without a companion?"

When Xie Zhuoxing heard this, he couldn't help but lift his tail and look at it. He lowered his head and thought about it for a moment. Finally, he nodded solemnly and felt that his mother was right: "It has no friends, so it will definitely be lonely. How long is Xiaobai still?"

Give it a few tails to accompany it."

Feng Ranzhou was listening beside him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

What is this all about?

Tails has no thoughts, how can he feel lonely?

Xie Wanyou imagined so wildly that the cub actually believed it.

Feng Ranzhou looked at Xie Wanyou's light-speed calming down the turbulent cub, and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Xie Wanyou poked him with his elbow and smiled proudly at him.

Feng Ranzhou thought for a moment, then hesitantly and unskillfully... gave her a thumbs up.

Xie Wanyou didn't expect that he would make this gesture to himself even though he was learning and practicing now... This feeling of disobedience was not as strong as usual.

Xie Wanyou looked at it, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but widen.

She laughed so gratuitously that Feng Ranzhou became suspicious: "Why are you laughing?"

Xie Wanyou said seriously: "I'm not laughing at anything."

Feng Ranzhou asked expressionlessly: "Does this gesture really mean to praise someone's prowess?"

Xie Wanyou nodded affirmatively: "It's true!"

"..."

Feng Ranzhou didn't believe it and looked at her suspiciously for a while, then looked away and looked forward.

The episode just passed quickly. Xie Wanyou went back to his room first, took off his clothes and exposed his back. After lying down on the bed, he asked Feng Ranzhou to come in.

Feng Ranzhou took the ointment and walked up to the bed. He glanced at it with his peripheral vision and saw a patch of black and red on his snow-white shoulders, and he couldn't help but frown a little.

Xie Zhuoxing was heartbroken. He flew to Xie Wanyou's waist and purred carefully. He turned to look at Feng Ranzhou, who was standing still, and urged: "Uncle Fox, don't be so stupid. Come and apply medicine for mother."

Feng Ranzhou then sat down by the bed, rolled up his sleeves, and focused his gaze entirely on her back.

At that time, Xie Wanyou was besieged by skeletons. As soon as he returned to the safe area, he would apply medicine on himself, but he could not apply it on his back. These injuries have persisted until now, and they look particularly serious.

The red ones are scratches. The tips of the skeleton's claws are poisonous. The poison enters the skin along the wounds, forming black vein-like wounds.

Xie Wanyou had such a wound on his back, but just now he was still chatting and laughing with him and the cub.

Feng Ranzhou dipped his fingers into some green ointment and applied it on the wound: "After taking so long and soaking in water, the wound has become like this. Don't you feel it?"

"Master Xuanyou gave me the detoxification pill. It's life-threatening anyway. It's okay to take a bath," Xie Wanyou said, opening a notebook: "And it doesn't hurt. It's numb. I really don't feel anything."

"..." Feng Ranzhou was speechless for the first time today.

His eyes moved: "What are you looking at again?"

"The anatomy notes given by Master Xuanyou." Xie Wanyou said: "There is a certain medicinal material that requires a certain part of the corpse as nourishment, otherwise it cannot be preserved for a long time. Tomorrow I will go with Master Xuanyou to dissect the corpse and preview it in advance."

"Dissection?" Feng Ranzhou's fingers moved on her back: "The Bixiao Dan Sect hasn't taught you this before, right?"

Xie Wanyou also had a headache: "Only the body tissue has been dissected, the entire corpse... it has indeed not been dissected."

Xie Wanyou swallowed and encouraged himself: "But anatomy is the basic quality of an alchemist. It's good to learn it in advance..."

Feng Ranzhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are you afraid of dissection?"

Xie Wanyou was vague: "Well... after all, the first time is a bit..."

Feng Ranzhou paused and said, "When I broke through the pile of bones today, I didn't see you scared."

"That's different," Xie Wanyou said subconsciously, "I'm not afraid because I know you're here."

The movements of Feng Ranzhou's men suddenly stagnated.

Xie Wanyou realized something was wrong, coughed slightly, and quickly tried to make amends for what he had just said: "With Lord Demon Lord in charge, it's no big deal to break into Bone Thorn Cliff."

After a moment of silence, Feng Ranzhou let out a low hum.

After he answered, the two of them stopped talking.

Xie Wanyou felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he changed the subject and said: "...By the way, I see that Master Xuanyou seems to hate the world of cultivation. Do you know the inside story?"
