Heaven-defying Phoenix

0"Then how did you find this place?" Jiu Muli didn't want to discuss with Qin Huaiye whether his feelings were real or not, she wanted to know why he was here.    4

    

She had lived here for two years, and during those two years, no one had shown up.    

    

In two years of time, it was enough for Qin Huaiye to forget about this favor of saving his life, why would he suddenly appear here?    

    

"I've been looking for you ever since I woke up." Qin Huaiye's tone was very calm, as if the search over the past two years wasn't really anything at all.    

    

Jiu Muli could not believe her ears, and she repeated, "You looked for me for two years?"    

    

Qin Huaiye nodded slightly, "Mn, when I met the little demons along the way, I would ask them about it. They talked about it in fragments, but I still found this place based on this incomplete information."    

    

Jiu Muli frowned, he never thought that Qin Huaiye would actually have such perseverance.    

    

However, there was another reason that made it impossible for the space between her eyebrows to relax. She really couldn't understand why such a simple act of saving her life was worth him spending two years to find her?    

    

Perhaps because she was severely injured in her previous life, Jiu Muli's defensive heart had already reached an unimaginable level. She still could not believe that the reason Qin Huaiye suddenly appeared by her side was that simple.    

    

Jiu Muli caressed the teacup with her hands as she looked at Qin Huaiye. She thought, no matter what, she had already promised to keep him here, so she would keep him here first.    

    

Maybe it was because he had just finished getting rid of the demon, but Jiu Muli was exhausted.    

    

Jiu Muli yawned as she was filled with sleepiness. If she did not meet Qin Huaiye, perhaps she would have already gone to sleep.    

    

No matter what, she had already communicated with Qin Huaiye before, so regardless of whether it was real or fake, this matter had to come to a temporary end.    

    

Jiu Muli waved his hand: "Behind this wooden house, there is another wooden house. You should go and live there, of course if you feel that this temple is too small to fit a Buddha like you, you can look for another place."    

    

Jiu Muli was so tired that she could barely open her eyes. She stood up and urged: "Alright, you go first, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."    

    

Seeing that Jiu Muli was so tired that he couldn't even stand properly, Qin Huaiye got up and left. But before he even left the house, Jiu Muli added: "Oh right, you prepare lunch, I hope that I can eat delicious food the moment I wake up."    

    

With that, Jiu Muli pointed to a small hut on the other side of the courtyard: "That is the woodshed, there are ingredients in there, you decide."    

    

Looking at Qin Huaiye's back that was not willing to make a sound for a long time, Jiu Muli probed: "I can trust you, right?"    

    

"Yes." Qin Huaiye replied softly as he walked out of the house and closed the door behind him.    

    

When Jiu Muli woke up again, the sky was still bright, but her stomach was growling from hunger.    

    

Jiu Muli raised his quilt, and suddenly, a fragrant wind blew in from the window.    

    

The rich fragrance was assailing Jiu Muli's nose, and her eyes lit up, "Could it be that he really finished cooking?"    

    

With no time to think further, Jiu Muli impatiently pushed open the door and walked out.    

    

When she pushed open the door, the scene before her eyes caused her eyes to widen in pleasant surprise.    

    

Qin Huaiye set up a small wooden table in the middle of the courtyard. The table was filled with bright colored dishes and fragrant big rice.    

    

Seeing Jiu Muli appear, Qin Huaiye did not say a word, and only silently placed the small stool on both sides of the table.    

    

Jiu Muli was startled, he then closed the door behind him and sat down at the small wooden table.    

    

Qin Huaiye did not say anything. Seeing that Jiu Muli had sat down, he gave her a pair of chopsticks.    

    

Jiu Muli's gaze that was filled with anticipation swept across the food, and his heart was filled with shock, he actually managed to cook six dishes in a short amount of time.    

    

Jiu Muli looked up at Qin Huaiye with some disbelief.    

    

Just as she was about to extend her chopsticks to eat, Jiu Muli suddenly paused, she thought: I will continue to eat like this without any defenses in mind, if one day he tries to poison me, if he tries to kill me, I will fall for it.    

    

Jiu Muli slowly reached out her hand, wanting to use her spiritual energy to feel if there was poison in the food, but when she turned around to look at Qin Huaiye, who was filling her stomach, she gave up on that idea.    

    

Qin Huaiye would not be so foolish, and using such a method to probe him, it was too obvious.    

    

As Jiu Muli ate, he was seriously thinking about how to guard against Qin Huaiye.    

    

In the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were thin.    

    

Jiu Muli stood in front of the door and looked at the cherry blossom tree under the moonlight.    

    

At this time, Qin Huaiye was standing in front of the hut at the back of the hut with her head raised towards the moon.    

    

Day after day, Jiu Muli slowly started to adapt to the days where he had Qin Huaiye.    

    

In the process of interacting with Qin Huaiye, Jiu Muli was still the same as when he interacted with Feng Li.    

    

In order to prevent himself from being engulfed by this fake mask, Jiu Muli would still be more inclined to cultivate to kill demons alone.    

    

However, ever since Qin Huaiye had appeared, he had followed after him unwaveringly every time he killed a demon.    

    

Every time Jiu Muli wanted to chase Qin Huaiye away, Qin Huaiye would insist with just words. He came here to repay the gratitude and he must ensure Jiu Muli's safety.    

    

Other than him not being able to leave while he was exterminating the demon, he would be at Jiu Muli's command during other times. This was the promise Qin Huaiye made to Jiu Muli.    

    

From then on, every time Jiu Muli exterminated a demon, he and Qin Huaiye would pair up. Their cooperation, made every time Jiu Muli exterminated a lot more smoothly and ended even more than before.    

    

Not only that, every time Jiu Muli went back to the small hut after exterminating the demon, he would make a sumptuous table full of food for Jiu Muli.    

    

Every time Jiu Muli sat at the dining table and looked at the icy cold face of Qin Huaiye, he would doubt himself.    

    

Other than this, Jiu Muli started to care more about the strength of Qin Huaiye's spiritual energy.    

    

It seemed like he was going to be even stronger? But thinking about how Qin Huaiye was injured to the point where his skin was not even full, Jiu Muli would once again overturn his own conjecture.    

    

Therefore, the size of Qin Huaiye's spiritual energy began to become a mystery in Jiu Muli's heart. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to test it out.    

    

Jiu Muli did not notice Jiu Muli's thoughts. Instead, he thought about taking care of Jiu Muli.    

    

Not only did he change the method to make delicious food for Jiu Muli, he even picked the most tender cherry blossoms to brew wine for her.    

    

Seeing Qin Huaiye put the cherry blossom wine he brewed into a jar and finding a place under the cherry blossom tree to put the cherry blossom wine made Jiu Muli feel awkward and cute. This made him feel that this was a very clear contrast to his cold and detached appearance.
