I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

That small sect called the Demon Subduing Sect.

Bai Qingyu was very familiar with this sect. She was in a bad mood when Dong Qing left, and those bastards were blind enough to try and capture her, resulting in them all drowning in the sand river. She was absolutely certain she hadn't misjudged this power!

The demonic power expelled the remaining spiritual energy, allowing Zhen's injuries to heal. With a hiss, Zhen's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

She fainted because of the depletion of her demonic power and excessive blood loss. Bai Qingyu used his demonic power to nourish her, which helped her recover a lot. However, due to the pain caused by expelling the spiritual power, Zhen Youyou opened her eyes.

Upon waking, she saw Bai Qingyu wiping her body with a towel. Having regained some strength, Zhen instinctively stepped back, but unfortunately, the bathtub was right behind her, and she couldn't go anywhere.

"Don't be afraid. We can talk about it after your injuries have healed a bit. And don't worry about your poison, I have a way to resist it."

Please vote for me! I'm standing on my head!

Volume 1: Chapter 80 Once it's in my hands, it has to call me Aunt!

The rain continued, and the only light inside was from a few candles. The dim light illuminated the small room. Bai Qingyu carefully cleaned the wound above Zhen's collarbone, then took a handkerchief and slowly infused her with demonic power to keep her alive, while also cleaning the other smaller sword wounds.

The disciples of the Demon Subduing Sect were truly ruthless. Zhen had more than thirty wounds of all sizes on her body, especially on her back. Such a beautiful back, instead of getting cupping done, she was hacked like this. This person really had the heart to do that.

"Does it hurt?" Bai Qingyu asked softly.

Zhen was weak and wary. Hearing Bai Qingyu's words, she still answered honestly, "It hurts a little, but it's nothing serious. So why did you save me? I don't have anything valuable to give you. If you wanted to kill me, you didn't have to go to such lengths."

"We saved you because we're both demons, and we just happened to see you and helped you out. As for killing you, Bai Qingyu paused for a moment, then used her small hand to pull out a demon-suppressing nail from Zhen's back. With a soft 'plop,' dark red blood flowed out uncontrollably."

Calmly using his demonic power, he diverted the poisonous blood, letting it sizzle and corrode on the ground. Then, he used his demonic power to seal the wound on her body. "Look at you, even your blood is poisonous. Why would I kill you? However, it's always good to be cautious, but sometimes you have to consider the situation. There are good people in the world besides bad ones."

Speaking as if instructing a child, this was Bai Qingyu's old habit.

"I am also a demon, not a human. Killing you would not benefit me at all. If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it already, wouldn't you say? Besides, I am a woman, um... a female demon? Anyway, I am the same as you, and I don't lust after your body."

"Thank you." Zhen didn't argue, but thanked him directly.

"If you want to thank me, a simple thank you won't suffice," Bai Qingyu said with a smile.

"Whatever you want, I will do my best to fulfill it."

"I want you...don't move."

Bai Qingyu had diverted the poisonous blood to the side, but even so, the water in the bathtub was still tinged with red. Bai Qingyu knew that the bathtub was no longer usable.

"Where is that cultivator who was chasing you?"

"Escaped."

"Escape?"

"He tried to take off my clothes, then got poisoned by me and ran away." Zhen's voice was clear and melodious, but her tone was a little cold.

Bai Qingyu didn't care much. Zhen Tian was in a similar situation when she followed him. They were all demons who had been lonely for a long time and instinctively rejected outsiders. They might have been hurt badly during that time, so they were always wary of everyone they met.

"It's good that you ran away. Stay here with me for the time being and don't go out. Let your injuries heal first. Let me tell you, you can escape today, but if you go out with such a badly injured body, it's hard to say what will happen next time. Believe me, your information has already spread throughout this city. As soon as you go out, many cultivators will come to capture you."

"If I stay, you will be in danger."

"It's not that bad. I'll give you a pill later, which will shield your demonic power."

"No need, thank you for your kindness."

At this point, it was clear that Zhen's tone had softened slightly. After Bai Qingyu finished treating the wounds on her back, he came to her, bent down, and slowly approached Zhen's body with one hand.

Zhen frowned as Bai Qingyu gently placed her finger around the most severe wound on her chest. Before the finger even moved, a piercing pain shot through her. She gritted her teeth as a wisp of black smoke drifted out of her wound.

Once the black aura appeared and the excruciating pain subsided, Zhen found her body felt much lighter.

"You still want to go out like this? I wasn't discussing what I said with you just now, little sister." Bai Qingyu's smile disappeared, replaced by seriousness.

You have no choice.

It has to be said that she was too familiar with Zhen's personality; if she wasn't firm, this little girl wouldn't listen to her obediently.

"My name is Bai Qingyu. Do you have a name? Are you a little sister who has never had any friends because you are covered in poison?"

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu's words, Zhen immediately looked up and then lowered her head again. "I don't have a name, how would you know those things?"

"I guessed." Bai Qingyu instinctively reached out to touch the other person's head, but then decided against it.

"If you don't have a name, I can give you one: Zhen. How about that?"

"poison?"

"Yes, poison, poisonous feathers, poison, drinking poison to quench thirst is as sweet as honey."

Bai Qingyu's words plunged Zhen into silence. She put on a serious face and thought about it for a while before nodding gently in acknowledgment of the name Bai Qingyu had given her.

Neither of the two bird demons spoke again. Bai Qingyu gently helped her up, changed the water in the basin, and let her soak in it again. Zhen cooperated well during the process, but from her flushed cheeks, it was clear that the girl's heart was not as calm as she appeared.

Finally, after treating the wound one last time, Bai Qingyu took out the last of herbal herbs, of which only a portion was usable. He ground them up, boiled them briefly, and then evenly applied them to the cloth strips before wrapping Zhen's delicate body tightly from head to toe.

Actually, showering isn't that awkward; the real awkward part is the process of wrapping the bandage.

Because Zhen's body had so many injuries, Bai Qingyu had to be careful, which inevitably led to him touching many more places in the process.

As her slender fingertips brushed against the delicate skin of the young girl, it felt like electric currents coursing through her body, a tingling, itchy sensation that she couldn't touch. Fortunately, Bai Qingyu was quick; she bit down hard with her pearly teeth and endured it until it passed.

After treating Zhen's injuries, Bai Qingyu felt that it would take her two or three months to fully recover. Of course, a month would be enough for her to recover a lot, at least not affecting her combat ability, provided that Bai Qingyu helped her transfer demonic energy every day.

Bai Qingyu didn't plan to do that. No matter how much demonic power she had, it wouldn't be enough to cause such a ruckus. Anyway, there were plenty of rooms here, so she could just clean one out for her to stay in for a few months.

After confirming several times that there were no traces or signs of tracking left on Zhen's body, as long as she was given pills to conceal her aura, she would definitely not be discovered if she did not go out.

Of course, it's okay if she finds out. If that guy from the Demon Subduing Sect dares to come to her door, she'll chop him up or throw him into the river to drown him.

Zhen is quite an interesting girl. I'm bored at home anyway, so I'll just raise her like another little one.

Bai Qingyu is very good at judging people. She can roughly judge a person's personality by looking at their karma and merits. Zhen's situation is somewhat similar to Zhen Tian's.

He carried the little girl, Zhen, to his bed and covered her with a blanket.

She was, after all, a female demon. Needless to say, Zhen's appearance lacked the mischievousness of a young girl, but possessed a delicate, doll-like quality. One can only admit that Bai Qingyu acknowledged that her good looks were a factor in her taking the child in.

With that pretty face, it's a waste that Zhen isn't a clothes hanger.

Coincidentally, she was going to teach Xiaodie how to make clothes, and Zhen would be the clothes hanger.

"Rest well here. I don't want to say anything more to gain your trust. I believe your eyes are discerning. You'll know once you spend a few days with me. Also, if you need anything, just call me Auntie. Sweet dreams."

Whether it's a poisonous bird or a demon king, once they fall into her hands and become her offspring, they must call her aunt.

Sometimes, Bai Qingyu is particularly persistent in how she addresses people.

The rain outside continued to pour, and the sound of the raindrops hitting the roof was like a lullaby played by nature. Even birds like Bai Qingyu, who hate rainy days, like to sleep on rainy days because lying in a warm bed and listening to the pattering rain outside always brings a sense of peace to their hearts.

Zhen watched Bai Qingyu leave without saying a word, her eyes filled with confusion as she stared at Bai Qingyu's retreating figure.

She didn't understand why Bai Qingyu was being so kind to her, when taking her in would obviously bring trouble.

Thinking back to the despair of being hunted during the day, and how she had never felt death so close after being pierced through the body by a sword, she realized how close death truly was. If the cultivator hadn't underestimated her and grabbed her collar with both hands to tear it off, only to escape after being poisoned, she would have truly died there.

The cultivator wasn't tearing her clothes just to do something evil; his main goal was to break through her feathered robe and inflict a severe injury.

The near-death experience after jumping off the city wall, compared to the warm, slightly fragrant bedding now, made her feel somewhat unreal.

"This blanket smells so good, is it that person's bed...?"

With her head buried under the covers, surrounded by Bai Qingyu's delicate fragrance, Zhen pondered her future.

She had actually tried to make friends, but when her third friend died unexpectedly from her poison, she gave up on the idea of ​​making friends. She really didn't want to experience that feeling of friends dying because of her again. Bai Qingyu seemed to be the only person she had ever met who was not afraid of her poison.

Outside the door, Bai Qingyu stretched her body and started a fire to cook.

In the kitchen, Zhen Tian came over to help out. Bai Qingyu listened to the sound of rain outside and couldn't help but tease, "Why does it feel like it rains whenever we take in a kid? It seems that heavy rain and beautiful girls are a perfect match."

When I first met Zhentian, it was raining heavily; when I met Xiaodie, it was snowing; and now that I've met Zhen, it's still raining heavily outside. It seems like whenever it rains heavily, it's a good time to adopt a cub.

"Is Sister Bai going to take her in?"

"I have this thought for now, but no one can predict the future. I don't know her, and she doesn't know me. Right now, I feel that this girl is quite nice, and she's about the same age as Dongqing."

The firewood crackled and popped under the stove. Bai Qingyu stared at the flames and thought, "We're all lonely demons."

Volume 1: Chapter 81 How will you repay me?

The lights flickered, and the heavy rain outside the window gradually subsided. Amidst the pattering rain, Bai Qingyu "reluctantly" squeezed into Zhen Tian's bed. There was nothing she could do; her bed had already been taken.

As for why he didn't go to Xiaodie's room, Bai Qingyu's excuse was that he was worried that he would disturb Xiaodie's rest. Children need to get a good night's sleep in the morning to grow taller, not because he wanted to squeeze in with her all day.

Bai Qingyu changed into her pajamas, lay on the bed, patted the pillow next to her, and smiled like a child trafficker, "Come on, Xiao Zhentian."

Inside the room, in the dim firelight, it was clear that Shinten had removed his feather robe and changed into pajamas. Of course, the feather robe could easily turn into pajamas, but there was no need for it. Concealing the feather robe while sleeping was to prevent it from being so disheveled in the morning.

After changing into her pajamas, Zhen Tian loosened her hair as she walked towards the bed.

He lifted a corner of the blanket, Zhen Tian hesitated for a moment, feeling his heart pounding.

"Um, Sister Bai, how about I find another place to sleep?"

“But there’s nowhere else to sleep.” Bai Qingyu turned to the side, propping her head up with one hand, her long black hair cascading down.

Zhentian is shy, and to be honest, she looks quite cute when she's shy.

"Ok."

She also lay down on the bed. Zhen Tian lay quietly, and her heart was surprisingly calm at this moment. However, as soon as she turned her head to look at Bai Qingyu's profile, she couldn't help but feel flustered again.

She used to sleep in the nest that Bai Qingyu prepared for her. When she went to sleep at night, she would transform back into her original form and curl up like a snake. After all, she had only been in human form for less than a year at that time, so it was impossible for her to adapt to human life all at once. She gradually adapted over the years.

"Get some rest, and sweet dreams, Miss Masaki."

Bai Qingyu and Zhen Tian sleeping together certainly weren't doing anything strange, like checking if Zhen Tian's development was normal.

It was just for fun. I rarely had the chance to sleep with Shinten before; in fact, I never had the chance at all.

Unbeknownst to Bai Qingyu, while she wished Zhentian sweet dreams, she barely allowed Zhentian any rest during the rest of the night. To Zhentian's dismay, once Bai Qingyu was fast asleep, she became restless, first putting her feet on Zhentian's body, and then, even more outrageously, using her as a pillow, tightly hugging her in her arms.

If Bai Qingyu didn't drool, Zhen Tianzhen would have cried.

Looking at the person who had buried her face in her chest and listening to her muttering incoherently in her sleep, Zhen Tian helplessly raised his hand and gently placed it on Bai Qingyu's back, a gesture that resembled embracing Bai Qingyu.

Aside from not being able to get a good rest at night, Zhen Tian actually found this to be quite nice.

Listening to her breathing, smelling her delicate fragrance, and holding her warm, soft body in his arms, Zhen Tian couldn't help but think that Bai Qingyu must be quite tired usually, and it was indeed rare to see her so quiet, obedient, and relaxed.
