Chapter 35 Bone Whistle

The half-immortal girl was different from any...immortal he had ever seen. She was closer to a "human" than an "immortal".

This may also be due to the influence of his bloodline.

Compared to practicing breathing exercises and improving her cultivation, her time and energy seemed to be more distracted by other humans.

This should have been a difficult task, because the human body is complex and fragile. If ordinary injuries are not treated, they will quickly become hidden illnesses and may endanger life at any time.

And there is war here right now, so how many people are injured?

Many humans who were considered beyond help by Yaksha were rescued from the brink of death by him using his medical knowledge and magic.

Even with proper treatment, those with limb loss can get mechanical arms and legs and return to the battlefield or life.

Although there will be many inconveniences, it is better than lying in bed for the rest of your life.

The most important thing is...

Faced with death that she had tried her best but still failed to prevent, what she showed was not indifference but sadness. Although her expression was well controlled, he could still feel it.

Because he himself was good at hiding these emotions, he was able to detect her thoughts so accurately.

The overly gentle demigod could never get over the fact that the flower of life had slipped from his hands.

Of course he couldn't understand this obsession with humans.

Just like the meanings they symbolize, he who brings death to mankind cannot be compared with her who brings life to mankind.

This is a feeling of irritability that comes for no reason.

There was a kind of resentment and anger accumulating in his heart, but he didn't know why it arose.

The only thing he was sure of was that these emotions were not directed at the other person, but at himself. He hated himself...

And this hatred drove him to prepare for action.

As if to verify that "I am just such a hopeless person", he disguised himself as a wounded person at dusk and quietly blended in with the wounded.

The ink-black short hair covered her face, and the shadow of the half-immortal girl was reflected in her gloomy eyes that longed to be bathed in the sun.

The way he was staring at the other person was naturally noticed by the other humans, and most of them laughed, whether out of kindness or joking.

Perhaps because he was unfamiliar, an older man spoke to him and said, "Young man, you look a little unfamiliar, don't you?"

Originally Yaksha didn't want to pay attention to him, but if he ignored him and continued to stare at the half-immortal girl, it would inevitably increase suspicion, so he could only answer in a hoarse voice.

“…I am here to escape.”

His voice was not pleasant, and it reminded people of the black crows in the trees, but no one cared, and most people just showed sympathy.

The man who spoke to him came closer without permission, patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"It's okay. There are many people here whose villages were affected by the war and they came here with their families. Oh, by the way, do you have any relatives around you?"

"No."

"...Alas, this world is condemned by God."

The man seemed to have sympathy for him. He muttered a few words in a low voice and then spoke again.

"Have you found a place to go?"

"No."

Yasha still replied coldly.

He even slightly shifted his body position to create some distance between him and himself.

He is entangled with karma. If ordinary people touch him for a long time, they will only suffer from incurable diseases and be trapped by nightmares all day long.

However, this human was still unaware and continued to move forward.

"I see... If you don't mind, you can stay at my place."

"Why?"

"Ha, look at what you said, little brother. Isn't it natural to lend a helping hand when seeing someone in trouble?"

The uncle squinted his eyes and smiled, but he didn't understand the meaning of the words.

Therefore, he shook his head and refused.

"No need."

"You are quite alert... But it's good. In these troubled times, being more alert can save your life."

As the uncle spoke, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Unlike my son, who never came back the first time he stepped onto the battlefield."

"..."

Yaksha looked at him without saying anything for a long time, and he seemed to be in the mood to talk, or perhaps he simply found some similarities in him and continued to speak.

"Although I am like this, I still have a family. You don't have to feel sorry for me. After all, besides my youngest son, my eldest and second sons are still serving in the Qianyan Army. Although they are both injured, thanks to Lord Kuxue, they are now safe and active on the front line."

The uncle seemed to be sighing about something.

"Thinking carefully, I was also out hunting a few years ago and was hit in the waist by a wild boar. Fortunately, Master Kuxue treated me, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to stand up in this life."

Speaking of this, those humans seemed to recall something. From children catching a fever at home to serious injuries such as amputations and broken arms, it seemed that there was nothing that Lord Kuxue could not cure.

Yaksha just listened silently.

Until the uncle recalled and talked about his youngest son.

"My poor child, he met that fierce Yaksha demon on his first battlefield."

"..."

He raised his head slightly, looked at the uncle's expression which became a little angry, and asked in a low voice.

"He, was killed by Yaksha?"

"…bad luck. The child is impatient and reckless. Although he will obey orders, he lacks vigilance."

The uncle sighed.

“I heard from his teammates that they surrounded the demon that day, and seeing that he was outnumbered, they wanted to form an army and charge in directly without waiting for the immortals to arrive.

However, I didn't expect that the Yaksha demon was cunning by nature, and he deliberately exposed his weakness to them, which resulted in the army being dispersed, and my child died in the chaos of the battle."

Yasha compared the other person's face, trying to recall something, but he could not remember anything.

The number of people he killed was too great to count.

At the same time, the wailing cries of the victims seemed to appear in his ears again, rushing straight to his forehead, making his eyes red, and he was almost unable to suppress the restless karma in his body.

The people around him immediately noticed that something was wrong with him and hurriedly made way for him. The uncle was stunned for a moment before he quickly supported him and shouted, "Master Kuxue, there is a little brother infected by miasma here!"

When he tried to push the other person away, the half-immortal girl appeared before him and touched his forehead with her slender hand.

A peaceful and serene magical power is continuously being sent into his body, calming his restless karma, but this alone is not enough.

For him who was burdened with such a huge karma, this little magic power was like a drop in the bucket. Instead, it stimulated those vengeful spirits, and murderous intent gradually emerged in the Yaksha's dark eyes.

However, he still had a little bit of rationality left, and after slapping away the other person's hand that was trying to rescue him, Yaksha stumbled out the door.

The aura around him was restless, and the Nuo mask stained with blood appeared and disappeared from time to time. The retribution for the past was catching up with him and forcing him to make a choice again.

Endless hatred constantly assaulted his mind, the pain was like having his heart cut out, and only by submitting to killing could he find a moment of peace.

But at this very moment, this sudden pain disappeared without any warning, just as it had come.

Instead, there was the sound of a bone whistle, like the sound of the ocean tide, with waves rising and falling, and then everything returning to calm.

Was it you who...saved me?

He thought so before he completely lost consciousness.

Chapter 36: You don’t like girls, do you?

Finally caught up...

Kuxue put down the bone whistle and followed the dark-black-haired boy lying on the ground with her eyes. The tension in her heart gradually subsided.

Before the old man even shouted, she actually sensed that there was a restless resentment of the devil hidden among the crowd, so she was able to take action at the first opportunity.

However, I never expected that the meeting with the rumored "notorious" Yaksha would be like this.

In fact, both Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and Guizhong had told her about this long before.

Now her reputation is spreading more and more widely, and many powerful demons who have fought with the Emperor or have coveted the country of Liyue will pay attention to her.

Especially now that the encirclement and suppression of the demons in Wuwangpo is coming to an end, the enemy will definitely not surrender so easily, but will look for opportunities to counterattack.

Although I don't want to say it, the fact is -

Bitter snow is really the only point where something could go wrong.

Therefore, the opponent will definitely send out their generals to use her as a breakthrough point to complete an absolute counterattack against Liyue.

Naturally, no one would just ignore such an obvious gap.

For example, Emperor Jun and Gui Zhong developed a special self-defense magic weapon for her.

Once this magic weapon senses that the girl is in danger, it will quickly unfold and form a lock that is difficult to break.

Whether it is the power at the level of the Emperor or the wisdom at the level of Guizhong, neither is indispensable.

Moreover, in order to ensure that this mechanism lock will not trap Kuxue to death, in addition to being able to be unlocked from the inside, Kuxue can also observe the situation outside after it is unfolded so as to take countermeasures.

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng borrowed one of her mechanical spheres and began to modify it, saying that having it would be like having her in person.

It is said that she is planning to customize the appearance of the mechanism to look like the chubby sister Ganyu when she was a child.

But, no matter what...

The previous worries have indeed come true, and now what I should worry about is how to deal with him.

At this time, A Ping and Gui Zhong, who were hiding in the dark, also appeared. They both looked a little worried, but after finding that the girl was fine, they relaxed a little.

Ah Ping was responsible for pulling away Ku Xue who was about to toss the Yaksha boy to make room.

Gui Zhong took out several complex and precise mechanical devices, which rotated to the sky above him and then quickly combined into wooden shackles that fell on the limbs and torso of the Yaksha boy, binding him tightly.

Seeing this, Gui Zhong finally felt relieved.

"Very good. Next, we just need to follow the connection between him and the Dream Demon God, and we will soon be able to locate the demon's hiding place."

Ah Ping said helplessly: "Don't use this method next time. It's too dangerous for Ku Xue."

As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng came from the air.

“Hehe. You, True Lord Gechenlangshi, are overly worried. With me as the guardian and the magical treasures of the Emperor and Guizhong, it will be useless even if the demon comes in person.”

She flapped her wings gently and landed next to the girl, her tone somewhat smug.

"This Yaksha thought he could be safe after avoiding the detection of the immortals' qi, but he didn't know that the power of the Beast Hunting Tower can even detect the flapping of a small insect's wings a hundred miles away. His every move is under our control.

If he had any ill intentions, we could easily take him down. Now that he couldn't suppress the resentment in his body, he ended up like this, which saved us a lot of trouble."

Ganyu was with her. She looked left and right and seemed to have some other opinions.

"Well, I think what Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun said is right..."

"Hmm? You kid, you still don't believe in me as your teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Master Liuyun Jiefeng immediately made a move to hit her, while Ganyu looked aggrieved, hid behind her sister with her head in her arms, and said with a pout.

"It's not that I don't believe what the True Lord said, it's just that there are differences between men and women, staying in the same room and so on..."

After hearing her say this, Kuxue's gaze suddenly became vague, while Master Liuyun Jiefeng was stunned, as if he had not expected that the other party's thinking angle would start from this.

After all, although Master Liuyun Jiefeng protects the mortal world, he is not interested in it, and there is no possibility for him to transform into a human being and look for a human as a partner.

For her, protecting humanity is closer to her "job" after following the Emperor and signing the contract.

Although we know the etiquette, morality, integrity and shame among human beings, we do not have a deep understanding of it.

Therefore, she had no choice but to look at her beloved disciple. Her gentle and quiet appearance really made people feel good about her. Even though she had taken care of her since she was a child, she would occasionally have some thoughts, not to mention what others thought.
