Probably because of her hesitation at this moment, Nie Hanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Chu Xia's pink cheek. In an instant, a black blood stain was left on her face. There was a hint of blood in his voice. With a hint of gentle pleading, he whispered to her: "If there is anything, can we talk about it after we go back?"
"… good."
Maybe it was because he looked too pitiful with his bloodstained body, or maybe it was the gentle look in his eyes that made her heart move. Chu Xia only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, great, let's go back to the palace first." Zong Yu looked at this situation and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said to Nie Hanqiu: "Boss, you are covered in blood in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons. I’ve been in there for several days, so go back and change clothes quickly.”
"Yes." Nie Hanqiu nodded slightly, held Chu Xia's hand, and ignored her struggle, turned around and walked towards the palace.
Because Nie Hanqiu and Ji Qinghe stayed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons for too long and consumed too much physical energy and magic power, they stopped and walked along the way, and they didn't return until it was almost dark. Crystal Palace.
Because Zong Yu had sent a letter early in the morning, telling them that the Demon King would be back today, so when everyone arrived at the palace, there was a busy scene inside, which was completely different from the empty scene in the morning.
"Your Highness the Demon King." When the people who were busy in the palace saw Nie Hanqiu, who was covered in blood and stains, walking in, they couldn't help but have a look of respect in their eyes. They stopped what they were doing and turned around respectfully. Turn around, kneel down on one knee and salute him.
"Yes." Nie Hanqiu responded lightly, holding Chu Xia's hand but not letting go, "Is the water in the Qingyu Pond ready?"
"Back to Your Highness, the water in the Qingyu Pond has been prepared early and is waiting for your return." A smiling old woman answered respectfully towards Nie Hanqiu.
"Yes." Nie Hanqiu nodded, held Chu Xia's hand and walked towards the back of the palace.
"Hey... what are you... doing??" Chu Xia couldn't help being dragged away by him, and she quickly asked him.
"Go take a shower." Nie Hanqiu replied calmly.
"Just go and take a bath yourself. Why are you dragging me... I'm still angry!" Upon hearing this, Chu Xia quickly struggled to squeeze his hand, but his hand was too strong. She There is no way to break free.
"Wash with me." Nie Hanqiu dropped these words without looking back, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all. He pulled her and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Nani! ?
After hearing those words in Chu Xia, his whole person was petrified.
"Nie Hanqiu!! Don't you understand what I said?!" Chu Xia shook his palm hard and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said just now that I'm still angry!?"
"I heard it." Nie Hanqiu finally stopped, turned around, stared at her with a pair of deep eyes, and spoke to her in a low and slow voice.
"You're still dragging me over there after hearing this!? Let go!!" Chu Xia continued to struggle.
"No..." Nie Hanqiu held her hand tightly, with a hint of exhaustion and pleading in his eyes: "I still have something to say to you."
