Demon King's Repayment - chapter 81
This chapter is sponsored by Pancake-Cat!
The world’s Qi was thin, resources were scarce and the path of lone cultivation was particularly difficult. They envied those famous disciples who could enjoy martial arts resources and at the same time couldn’t help but want to approach them in order to explore some merits. It stood to reason that a little girl like her, who was only 16 or 17 years old, was mostly devoted to Taoism, lacked experience, was not familiar with the world and was easy to fool. But soon they discovered the little girl who seemed innocent and easy to deceive was actually not slippery, not at all foolish. She looked polite to the seniors, but in fact, did not even disclose her teacher’s background.
Although Yuan Xiang looked young, in fact, she had been in society for many years in her life. She had no stage fright on such occasions and could cope with ease.
Not only did she not tell them anything about her, they told her about a lot of things nonchalantly and she got a little understanding of the situation in the realm of cultivation.
When everyone dispersed, only Zhou Deyun and the general who possessed Lady Zhou were left.
Zhou Deyun was so excited that he rubbed his hands and wished he could leave to the north to find his own wife. But the general hesitated, his eyebrows furrowed and he looked extremely disturbed.
Yuan Xiang comforted him, “We will not take too many people, only a few family members who are tight-lipped. When we get there, I promise that we will not meet your relatives and friends easily without your consent. After finding your body, if it was true that the wife of the Zhou family is temporarily living in it, we will find a way to meet with her alone and discuss the next steps together as appropriate. No matter what, it will never be revealed that you are still alive and living as a lady, alright?”
The general’s jaw tensed. After some time, he finally made up his mind and said a few words with difficulty, “Datong Mansion, Fengzhou.”
Fengzhou was very far away. Yuan Xiang ran through the map in her mind. It was a desolate place on the border, thousands of miles of yellow sand and wolves. Going there was not easy.
“My wife has lived here since she was a child. How can she live in such a barren and wild place? She must have suffered a lot of grievances. I will pick her up and bring her home,” Zhou Deyun was impetuous. He almost wished he could set off right away.
But it was thousands of miles away. Just packing up and arranging boats and carts was not something that could be done in a day or two.
“Let’s do this, now it’s almost done. Pack everything and arrange the route. We will leave after the Chinese New Year. Especially this…” Yuan Xiang glanced at Lady Zhou as she didn’t know the name of the general.
“Um… Qiu Yueming,” the general closed his eyes, pondered for a long time and finally said the name he had hesitated to say before.
“Qiu, Qiu, General Qiu?” Zhou Deyun jumped up while stuttering. Even though he lived in a peaceful inland area, he had heard of the famous young man stationed at the border who established the reputation of a magnificent general.
He remembered the silly things he had done before and almost scratched his ears on the spot.
Yuan Xiang changed the topic, “Especially since General Qiu’s body is too weak, you must take advantage of the time to take good care of it. Otherwise, you may not be able to survive the long journey.”
Yuan Xiang planned to go back to her Shiniang, leave after the Chinese New Year. Before leaving, she naturally had to buy some Dingzhou specialties and bring them back to honor her and give gifts to neighbors and friends.
Yuan Xiang and Nan He were walking in the bustling market. They bought a bag of candies and a few kilograms of dry goods, so that both of them were packed with things.
“By the way, Nan He, how did your small astrolabe do it? It seems very useful,” Yuan Xiang remembered Nan He’s spell.
“That is my natural ability. I use my blood to mobilize the power of the stars. Coupled with the belongings of the creature I seek, as long as it is within the range of the starry sky, it can’t escape. It’s a pity that I am not so good. I can only see a very unclear picture.”
“That’s pretty awesome. Didn’t you see everyone being surprised?”
“If you want, you could fuse my blood into a disc-like vessel and refine it into a magical tool for you humans to achieve the same effect.”
Yuan Xiang shook her head into a rattle, “Use your blood? No, no, I’d rather not.”
“It doesn’t have to be blood, it can be hair.”
“Really?” Yuan Xiang happily reached out and touched Nan He’s arm, regretting to find that as he was wearing clothes and in human form, she couldn’t touch his fur.
“Then you give me a bunch of hair and I will try another day. Should I get a golden jade plate, a silver jade plate or something?”
Nan He was sluggish for a moment and the tip of his ears turned red. Avoiding Yuan Xiang’s eyes, he reluctantly responded with an “alright” after a while.
She didn’t know the custom.
Nan He’s ears were about to pop out uncontrollably.
After the successful courtship of the Sirius tribe, there was one most important ritual, which was to exchange a bunch of their own hair with each other and weave and mix the other’s hair on their own body, which was called “hair knotting”.
Anyway, there was no other Sirius in this world. She said that she wanted his hair, just for refining. He could give it to her. It didn’t matter.
