After Huo Cheng woke up from his drowsiness, he heard about Mu Xi's return.
He got up excitedly, wanting to see with his own eyes whether Mu Xi was really back.
As soon as I got up, I found that both of my shoulders were wrapped in thick gauze.
He remembered what happened before he fell into coma, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.
He decided to stay away from the demons from now on.
Huo Cheng gritted his teeth. Because he couldn't move his hands, he could only stand up sideways. He felt that his mouth was a little strange. After he got up, he went to the mirror and took a look.
He was confused when he saw that both sides of his mouth were swollen.
what happened to him
There was no one in the bedroom, so he had to walk over and open the door with difficulty.
However, the demon clan's dormitories are all castle-type, and the doors are a bit thick. With both hands disabled, Huo Cheng can only open the door with his feet.
Unfortunately, the edge of the door was set a bit high and Huo Cheng couldn't reach it with his feet, so he had to bend down and bite the doorknob with his teeth, trying to open the door.
However, Chu Shiba, who was outside the house, heard the noise inside and thought that Huo Cheng must be awake, so he hurried over and kicked the door open.
What a coincidence, just as he was kicking him over, the door opened...
"boom-"
Chu Shiba kicked Huo Cheng on the head, and Huo Cheng was kicked away.
Chu Shiba: "..."
Huo Cheng: "..."
Chu Shiba was stunned for a while, then ran over and helped Huo Cheng up.
"Brother Huo! Brother Huo, are you okay? Why is your head here? What are you doing?"
Huo Cheng: "..."
I fucking want to know what the fuck I'm doing too!
Huo Cheng opened his mouth: "Pfft"
He spit out two bloody teeth.
Chu Shiba suddenly felt guilty: "Ahem, you can't blame me for this. I didn't know you were behind the door..."
Huo Cheng faintly opened his mouth, which was missing six teeth, and asked painfully: "Do you demons always use your feet to open doors?"
Why don't you just open the door with your hands
Wouldn't you be gentler? !
Huo Cheng finally discovered that the demons were actually not smart, and they didn't have so many twists and turns in their bones.
But... they are so brute force!
Look at this slap, you can slap him into a cripple!
Chu Shiba also said quietly: "I'm sorry, Shiba hasn't opened the door with his hands yet."
Huo Cheng was angry: "Did you also kick the door of your emperor's palace with your kicks?"
Chu Shiba became even more resentful: "It's not my turn to open the emperor's palace door yet."
Huo Cheng: "..."
OK! you win!
Huo Cheng stood firm and said, "I heard that Mu Xi is back? Where is she now? Can you take me to see her?"
"No problem!" Chu Shiba hurriedly said: "But... Brother Huo Cheng, can you please stop talking about your injury... um..."
Huo Cheng said angrily: "Okay, I can just say that I fell by myself, right?"
They didn't mean it, and Huo Cheng didn't have the habit of snitching, so he had to endure it.
Chu Shiba immediately beamed: "Brother Huo Cheng is a good man!"
After saying that, Chu Shiba quickly supported Huo Cheng and walked to the innermost bedroom.
When he walked to the rockery, Huo Cheng saw a bunch of guards standing frozen beside the rockery. All the demon guards looked eagerly at the things crawling on the ground.
As Huo Cheng got closer, he could still see the very familiar 1234 commanding something.
"Okay! That's it, carefully... little by little, um, that's it, you can put your feet down."
"Easy, gentle! Don't use so much force! What should I do if I scare it?"
"Look at the direction it's going, it might want to take a walk in the garden. Come on, come on, clear it out!"
In an instant, the mobile demon guards rushed to the garden next to them and cleared all the pebbles and monsters on the road.
"Clearing complete!"
"Yes." One, two, three and four were all satisfied: "Okay, you can shut up now and don't disturb it for a walk."
"Breathe easier!"
"Slower the heartbeat!"
"Keep your eyes small too! Don't stare at it!"
So all the demon guards closed their mouths, breathed lightly, pressed their hearts, lay on the ground, and stared at a...
Huo Cheng turned his head and looked at the turtle.
Huo Cheng suddenly couldn't hold in a breath and couldn't swallow it.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask Chu Shiba: "What are they doing...?"
Are you all crazy
Chu Shiba said calmly: "This turtle is the magic pet that the emperor just brought back. It was also named by the empress herself. It is taking a walk."
Huo Cheng took another deep breath: "Okay, it's walking, but what are those demons doing?"
Chu Shiba had an expression on his face that said, "Why don't you know this?" "Of course I'm guarding and protecting it!"
Huo Cheng: "..."
Twenty demon guards were guarding a turtle...
Huo Cheng took another deep breath, feeling deeply... that humans are inferior to turtles.
Chu Shiba asked: "Brother Huo Cheng, do you want to go over and see the turtle? It's so small! It's very cute!"
The creatures living in the demon clan are almost all small monsters. There have never been monster beasts with spiritual energy on their bodies. They are all monsters with demonic energy.
One can imagine how rare it is to see such a small monster without demonic energy in the demon clan.
If it is placed outside the palace, it will definitely be eaten by other demons.
Of course you have to protect it.
"No need." Huo Cheng said numbly: "Go find Mu Xi..."
Chu Shiba took him to the emperor's palace.
Just as Mu Xi finished drinking the medicine, she heard that Huo Cheng was still in the Demon Palace, so she also planned to go find Huo Cheng and the Qitian Beast.
As soon as they left the palace door, the two of them met each other.
Huo Cheng stared at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi also stared at Huo Cheng.
In Huo Cheng's eyes, Ye Muxi is the same as she was thirty years ago. Her starry eyes are cold and stern, her delicate and pretty face is still expressionless, her body is still so thin, and her hands are still wrapped in thick gauze. , it looked like both hands were injured.
In Mu Xi's eyes, Huo Cheng was a bit miserable.
The shoulders on both sides were drooping, and they were also fixed with wooden boards and wrapped with gauze. The face was red and swollen, and there was a little blood at the corner of the mouth!
When he saw her, his eyes felt like he was seeing a relative, and his eyes were actually red.
"... Huo Cheng?" Mu Xi was still a little afraid to admit it. Is this really Huo Cheng
"It's me." Huo Cheng sniffed pitifully and walked towards Mu Xi: "It's really you. I thought you... thought you..."
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Mu Xi subconsciously took a step back and said disgustedly: "Are you still crying?"
Huo Cheng wanted to wipe his tears, but he had no hands, so he could only say aggrievedly: "I thought you... that, now I see you, I'm happy!"
"Oh. I thought you were fake."
Huo Cheng: "..." Do you have any conscience? Do you have any conscience
He was moved to tears, and she actually thought he was fake.
Mu Xi looked at his hands again: "Your hands..."
Huo Cheng said dejectedly: "I fell like this myself."
Mu Xi said: "No, I just want to ask, how is your right hand healed?"
She clearly remembered that Huo Cheng's right hand was broken.
Huo Cheng: "..."
Shouldn't she be concerned about why he was so seriously injured in the first place
No more love!
