I returned the tea to the devil and told him that I would go to the Abyss to find someone now.
The Demon King looked at me worriedly, "Little junior sister, I have a special status. If I follow you, Li Nangeng will definitely find out.
I can't go, but Shi Xin, Shi Li and the others can. You take them all with you. If you run into Li Nangeng's people, there will be people to help you.
"
I nodded.
After leaving the Demon King's chamber, I went to Ruchen's residence to visit Yuchen.
Yuchen is smaller now. A small snake is soaking in a bathtub. There is medicine in the bathtub, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of Chinese medicine.
He has recovered somewhat now, but he still has no energy. The snake head is lying on the edge of the tub, looking sickly.
From knowing Yuchen to now, this is the first time that he has been hurt for so long.
I looked at him distressedly, "Yuchen, you must get better soon.
"
The little black snake blinked his round eyes, then he raised the snake's head, wrapped it around my wrist, and looked at me with his head raised, "Lin Xi, what happened?"
I was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Nothing happened.
Yuchen, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Yuchen didn't answer me, but changed the subject, "I heard that Li Nangeng is here and wants me.
"
It was probably Liao Ruchen who told Yuchen.
Now that he knew everything, I couldn't hide it anymore, so I nodded, "Yes.
But Yuchen, don't worry, we are safe now.
This is the devil's world, my senior brother's territory, even Li Nangeng wouldn't dare to mess around here.
"
The little snake seemed to be tired, and lay on my arm obediently, and said, "Lin Xi, I have been dealing with Li Nangeng for thousands of years, and he has no interest in me. Even when he misunderstood me as a black dragon, he didn't take me seriously.
Pass.
Now he wants to take me away even if he wants to offend the demon world. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
I'm not as smart as Yuchen, so when I'm around him, I'm used to not thinking.
Now that I heard him asking me, I followed his thinking and said, "I think it has something to do with the high priest. Li Nangeng knows that you are the biological son of the high priest.
Ye Qiao was asked by the high priest to take care of you, so he came to find you.
"
The little snake shook his head, "Lin Xi, the high priest is an ancient god. If he wants to take care of me, he can come directly to the demon world. The demon king will never dare to offend him.
As for my injury, he had plenty of ways to help me heal it.
But he didn't come, which showed that the high priest was not very interested in me. He didn't want to take care of me, nor did he want to suddenly assume the responsibility of being a father.
"
Hearing this, I was puzzled, "If it wasn't the high priest's instruction, then why did Li Nangeng suddenly come to ask for you?"
The little snake raised his head, looked at me with a pair of golden eyes, and said seriously, "Because he knows that I am the son of the high priest.
Lin Xi, Concubine Tian once told you that the reason why Li Nangeng did not dare to kill her was because Li Nangeng was poisoned by poison. Once Concubine Tian died, Li Nangeng would not be able to live.
And this Gu was given to Tian Fei by her lover, that is, it was given to him by the high priest.
"
"As the Emperor of the Three Realms, Li Nangeng is a very ambitious person. He will never allow Qiao to be controlled by others, so for so many years, he has definitely been looking for the antidote to the poison.
Now he came to me uncharacteristically, which means that he suddenly realized that I am very important to him, and it is most likely related to the poison.
"
Yuchen paused and said, "The poison was raised by the high priest. After knowing that I was the high priest's son, Li Nangeng came to find me.
If I guessed correctly, the antidote to the poison should require the blood of the high priest.
Li Nangeng couldn't afford to offend the high priest, and he couldn't get the high priest's blood at all, so he came to find me after he found out that I was the high priest's son.
"
After listening to Yuchen's analysis, I suddenly understood.
Yuchen's guess does make sense, as he connected everything.
I thought for a moment and said, "But Yuchen, your body was destroyed the first time you fought against Bai Ziqi.
You were reborn in Qianchen's body. In fact, your body is not the bloodline of the high priest.
"
Yuchen said, "So Lin Xi, during this period, you must protect Xiao Sigu and Xiao Siqin.
These two are the true descendants of the high priest.
Li Nangeng will definitely put his mind on the two children and not let them leave the devil world.
They also need to be more careful with things that suddenly appear around them, and beware of Li Nangeng using tricks to steal the children.
"
After hearing this, I instantly panicked.
Xiao Siqing was taken away by the phoenix egg, so there may be a way to survive.
But if the phoenix egg was arranged by Li Nangeng, then Xiao Siqing is already in Li Nangeng's hands now!
I simply didn't dare to think about it any further.
I calmed myself down and looked down at Yuchen. Just when I was about to say that I had something to do and I had to leave, I heard Yuchen suddenly ask me, "Something happened to the child, right?"
The little snake held its head high, and its golden eyes were clear and bright, as if it could see through people's hearts.
He said, "When you heard that I brought Li Nangeng to steal the child, you looked obviously wrong.
Lin Xi, is it Xiao Siqing or Xiao Sigu? They were taken away by Li Nangeng?"
Don't blame Hu Jinyue for saying that Yuchen is as evil as a hornet's nest.
It's really all about the mind from head to toe.
Who would have thought that when he told me so much, he was actually trying to trick me!
He started by asking me what happened?
I denied concealing anything, and Yuchen did not expose me, but took the initiative to change the subject.
It's just that everything he said next was looking for an answer to his first question.
It’s so hard to guard against!
I have given up resistance, and he has already guessed it. If I continue to hide it, it will only make him more anxious.
So I told Yuchen about the appearance of the phoenix egg, the phoenix egg's reaction to little Siqin, and the disappearance of little Siqin and the phoenix egg together.
After hearing what I said, Yuchen didn't say a word. He let go of my arm and swam back into the tub. The whole little snake sank into the potion.
After a while, a crash was heard.
A long-haired man poked his head out of the water, it was Yu Chen.
He took human form and came out of the water.
The potion dripped down his hair and down his cheeks.
He used his hands as a comb, inserted it into his wet hair, and pushed his hair back, revealing his face with delicate features.
He raised his chin slightly, water drops dripping from his clear jawline, and his narrow black eyes glanced at me, which were wet, adding a bit of charm to his cold and hard aura.
"I will go with you.
"He said.
The voice was firm, and it was a notification, not a discussion.
I shook my head without thinking, "No! Yuchen, your injuries haven't healed yet, you have to stay here to recuperate.
"
"This injury won't kill me, but if something happens to you and the child, it will kill me.
"Yu Chen reached over and held my face, then he leaned over and approached me with his head lowered.
His forehead was pressed against mine, a pair of black eyes looked at me, and his voice was low and soft, "Lin Xi, I have to follow, otherwise I won't feel at ease.
