Chapter 375 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [51]
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu subconsciously loosened his grip on Yuejia's arm.
Whether it was because the water was too hot or because the other person had a high body temperature, Jiang Xiyu could almost feel, even through the clothes, that the inch of skin her palm was touching was incredibly hot.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu remained silent, Yuejia narrowed her eyes, but the smile on her lips did not fade.
Jiang Xiyu steadied herself, turned her back, and prepared to go upstairs.
Ripples spread toward him, and an arm silently wrapped around his shoulder.
Warm breath brushed against his ear, and Jiang Xiyu froze, feeling as if she were being coiled by a snake, unable to stop herself from holding her breath.
Yuejia rested her chin gently on his shoulder, feeling his stiffness. As if she had discovered something amusing, she teased him with a sweet breath, "Husband, why are you leaving?"
If it were anyone else, they would surely have readily accepted such temptation from their beloved. And since they were a so-called worldly couple, Yuejia felt that the Demon Emperor had no reason to refuse to be close to her.
Besides, getting close to him means we can both get what we want, a win-win situation, wouldn't that be better?
Jiang Xiyu sighed softly, gently grasped Yuejia's mischievous hand, and said clearly, "No."
He knew what Yuejia was thinking, but the two of them really couldn't get too close, otherwise, unnecessary trouble would arise.
Jiang Xiyu had only intended to check on Yuejia when he returned tonight, and to subtly warn him not to act rashly. After all, the magic array above their heads hadn't dissipated, and Shijia was still in the demon realm. Jiang Xiyu was afraid that Yuejia might not be able to resist making some noise that would attract Shijia's attention.
To my surprise, I returned to find a beautiful woman emerging from her bath.
Although he knew that Yuejia couldn't possibly drown in this small hot spring, his body was only mortal, and Jiang Xiyu was afraid that something might happen to him.
Yuejia pressed herself against his back, glanced at Jiang Xiyu's blushing ear tips, and smiled, "What's wrong? Doesn't my husband miss me?"
His tone was very gentle, but the gaze he gave me was anything but gentle; it was clearly the aggressive look of someone looking at prey, eager to drink its blood and devour its flesh.
His red eyes scrutinized Jiang Xiyu from head to toe, as if trying to see through his skin to the blood in his veins.
Yuejia already knew that the Demon Emperor was a cat.
Despite sitting in this position, he doesn't resemble a ferocious beast. His true form is neither domineering nor fierce. In fact, because he is a cat, many of his habits, such as his frowns and smiles, are like those of a cat. His appearance is also different from what the demon race thinks of great demons, who believe that the more rugged the better. On the contrary, his appearance is excellent, handsome and alluring. When he wears the robes of a demon emperor, he has a slender waist and long legs, and is very elegant.
Jiang Xiyu turned around helplessly, pressed his shoulder and pulled him away a little, saying, "I just wanted to come back to see you. I can't stay long. I have things to take care of later."
Upon hearing this, Yuejia lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, seemingly probing casually: "It's so late, what matters does my husband still have to attend to? What could be more important than us?"
As he spoke, his fingertips seemed to lightly hook onto Jiang Xiyu's clothes.
Jiang Xiyu grasped his damp hand, staring into his eyes, and hinted, "It's important, of course. The demon realm has been quite turbulent lately, so you must not go out."
Yuejia looked at Jiang Xiyu, the smile on her lips suddenly faded, and her eyes became cold and wary.
He tilted his head, looking at Jiang Xiyu with a devoid of emotion, and asked, "What would happen if we went out?"
He wasn't oblivious; from the person's eyes, he knew the words were meant for him.
In fact, back on that night when Jiang Xiyu drew away the magic array for him and seriously injured himself, Yuejia had already suspected that Jiang Xiyu might know something. But there was no way a third person in the world could know about this, so Yuejia dismissed that possibility.
The only explanation is that after Jiang Xiyu saw Shijia's face, he knew that he looked just like Shijia, so he naturally associated Shijia's visit to the demon realm with himself.
Seeing his wariness, Jiang Xiyu let him guess, but tried to keep her tone gentle: "There will be some trouble, but I will protect you."
He believed that Yuejia was a smart man and knew that he would not cause trouble for himself. After all, he did not have enough strength to deal with Shijia's magic array at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Yuejia raised an eyebrow. After a moment, he smiled again and said in an ambiguous tone, "You... are protecting me?"
He is evil, and in the supreme Buddhist realm, he can only be banished and imprisoned by the Buddha. They would avoid him like the plague, so why would anyone want to protect him?
Yuejia suddenly asked, "Whatever I do, will you protect me?"
Jiang Xiyu nodded and gently took his hand in the water.
He can absorb the merits of the temple, not necessarily those of Shiga. If Yuega needs them, he can go to the temple to cultivate and accumulate merits for him, as long as Yuega does not bewitch other demons or let them harm the human race.
To Yuejia, these words sounded quite ridiculous.
What's this talk about protection? Yuejia doesn't need his protection at all.
But for some reason, at a certain moment during the confrontation, he seemed to see a gentle, spring-like tenderness in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, instead of the usual, contemptuous desire.
Yuejia lowered her eyes, smiled, and said calmly, "My husband is overthinking it. How could I, a mere mortal, dare to roam freely in the demon realm?"
"Don't worry, my husband, I will never cause you any trouble."
He had already arranged everything. Even though he was trapped in the Demon Emperor's Palace and couldn't leave, the human race still had demons he had arranged to devour his evil thoughts.
Originally, he didn't want the demon to be exposed too early, but now, he needs the demon to verify some things for him.
Because he once again sensed the surging merit within Jiang Xiyu's body.
I gave myself so much last time, and now I feel so full again.
Yuejia suddenly recalled the scene when Jiang Xiyu was protected in Shijia's arms under the sword blade of the Golden Lotus Formation.
He raised his eyes again, giving Jiang Xiyu a scrutinizing look, his gaze deep.
is it possible?
Shiga had such a compassionate heart.
Jiang Xiyu knew from his eyes that what he said about not causing trouble was a lie.
He remained silent for a moment, looking at Yuejia's face, which was flushed with a light red, as if it had regained some of its human touch, and asked in a low voice, "Are you done washing?"
Yuejia collected her thoughts and said emotionlessly, "Alright."
Jiang Xiyu then put her arm around his waist and led him away from the hot spring.
The candlelight flickered for a moment in the wind, and in that swaying motion, the dampness and heat clinging to each other vanished completely.
The glass lamps inside the hall burned brightly, casting shadows on the gauze curtains, their movements creating an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Jiang Xiyu led Yuejia back to the bed and took the initiative to sit beside him, passing on some merit to him.
Yuejia accepted it gladly. Although the way the Demon Emperor held his hand and imparted merit to him was not as good as before, it was still something.
However, he still didn't understand why he was being rejected in this way.
He remembered that before, the Demon Emperor had never refused him.
Yuejia glanced at Jiang Xiyu with a deep, mysterious look in her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu, however, did not notice.
It wasn't until night was deep, and he saw that Yuejia had fallen asleep, that he gently released his hand.
Then, seeing that it was about time, he left the Demon Emperor's Palace and headed in the direction of Shiga.
After confirming that the person had left, Yuejia suddenly opened her eyes.
He sat up, gazing at the moonlight in the hall, then looking in the direction Jiang Xiyu had left.
After a long while, he lowered his eyes, and a wisp of dark blue flame ignited in his hand.
The wisp of flame rose like smoke under the moonlight. Yuejia stared at it for a while before smiling and saying, "Go..."
In an instant, the flames vanished.
