Chapter 109 Waking up, the tofu in front of his mouth flew away!
Her eyes were wide with effort, staring at the small thing in her hand that was no bigger than a palm of an adult. She felt extremely depressed in her heart. Don't tell her, this is the legendary Millennium Fire Lotus... but it's clearly just a kitten! And to make matters worse, it's still a little ball of fur with its eyes closed.
The little kitten in my hand, its whole body is fiery red, and its fur is fluffy. On its small head, there is a fire lotus the size of a fingernail, and its nose, mouth, and paws are all tender and delicate.
Her face was as cold as snow, full of suspicion, looking at the small fire lotus that couldn't be any smaller, thinking to herself, could it be that this small fire lotus is the ten-thousand-year fire lotus, and this cat is a gift?
Just as Leng Ruo Xue was puzzled, Leng Qing Tian and the others were also full of question marks. Eh! How could it be just a cat?! Was the Spirit of the Secret Realm playing tricks on them?
"Is this the Millennium Fire Lotus?" Ming Huan asked with a curious face, voicing everyone's doubts. Had he seen things? The Millennium Fire Lotus was clearly a plant, but this was obviously a small animal!
"This... this is a kitten, right?" said Leng Ruohan with some uncertainty.
"This is just a cat." Leng Ruo Xue said, suppressing her anger.
"Girl, don't be angry, this is really a ten-thousand-year-old fire lotus." The butterfly flapped its wings and flew over.
"You think I don't recognize a cat?!" Leng Ruoxue shouted angrily.
"It's already a thousand-year-old fire lotus, of course it's possible for it to be in this state! And besides, it's not a cat, it's the spirit of the thousand-year-old fire lotus." The butterfly hastily explained, as a fellow spirit, its intuition would absolutely not be wrong.
"Is the spirit of the Eternal Flame Lotus actually a cat?" Feng Mo asked with an incredulous face, this was truly too mysterious.
"Are you sure? Ballball, what do you think?" Leng Ruoxue wasn't quite believing Butterfly's words and turned to ask the Ballball who was lying on her shoulder.
"Definitely, absolutely definitely," the butterfly assured.
"Sister, it's a treasure." BallBall said with certainty after glancing at the little red kitten in Leng Ruo Xue's hand.
At this time, the little cat in Leng Ruo Xue's hand suddenly opened its eyes, pink big eyes, moist and shiny, beautiful beyond imagination.
The little kitten sniffed around with its pink nose, then lifted its small head and called out to the cold but sweet "mom" in a sweet voice: "Mom."
A cry of "Mom" shocked Cold-as-Snow, who broke out in a cold sweat. Her hand instinctively flailed, and the little red kitten was thrown directly into the air.
"Ah!" The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and their hearts simultaneously went out to the little guy with a cold sweat.
Suddenly, a red figure leaped into the air and caught the little kitten that was about to fall to the ground.
"What a close call!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom!" The little kitten's beautiful pink eyes were filled with tears, pitifully staring at Leng Ruoxue, meowing... Does Mom hate it?
"Sorry! I didn't mean to." Leng Ruoxue felt a bit guilty, took the cat with tears in its eyes from Feng Zhan's hands, and... it was just startled!
"Does Mommy hate Huoer?" the kitten said with some sadness, its eyes welling up with tears that seemed to be on the verge of flowing out at any moment.
"Uh, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Leng Ruo Xue hastily coaxed, a few drops of cold sweat involuntarily dripping down her forehead, sighing endlessly in her heart... why did she always have to coax little kids?
"Does Mom like fire?" the little kitten asked persistently.
"Hmm! I like it." Leng Ruo Xue said frankly, this little guy is quite cute, but if you don't call her mom, she'll like it even more!
"Huo Er also likes Mommy." said Miao Miao happily.
"That fire! Can't you not call me mom?!" Leng Ruoxue said with a forehead full of black lines, waa... I'm not even married yet!
"Why? Mom is the first person Huo'er sees when she opens her eyes, so you are Huo'er's mom." Huo'er said stubbornly.
"That... fire, you can also call me sister!" Leng Ruoxue coaxed patiently.
"I don't want to, Mom is just Mom... Waaah, I hate fire." As soon as she finished speaking, tears burst out of Huo'er's eyes and fell to the ground like pearls.
"Alright, don't cry, if you are crying, I really won't want you anymore." Leng Ruo Xue threatened with a slight headache.
"I won't cry anymore, Mommy don't scold me." Huo'er hastily stopped her tears and obediently lay down on Leng Ruo Xue's palm.
"This is good." Leng Ruo Xue stroked Huo Er's soft fur and said.
"Haha, dead girl, I've given you the Millennium Fire Lotus you wanted. You'd better take good care of it!" The mechanical voice rang out again with a hint of complacency.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it." Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of gritted teeth.
"What about our other rewards?" asked Leng Ruoxue further.
"Each of you can get 25,000 points, this is the reward for the top two, and besides, you can roll away." The mechanical voice finished speaking, a ring floated onto Ming Huan's hand, and then the voice completely disappeared.
"Leng Xiaojie, let's split the reward for first and second place equally." Ming Huan said.
"No need for that, we don't require it. However, I am quite curious, what are those two divine beasts?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.
"Let me see." Ming Huan dripped blood onto the ring to acknowledge its master, then infused his consciousness into it.
"Hmm, it's a snake and a scorpion." Ming Huan said after he finished reading.
"Are you the King of Snakes and the King of Scorpions?" Leng Ruoxue asked coldly, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
"Huh? Yes." Ming Huan replied with a hint of fear, but his mind was filled with doubts. Could it be that Leng Ruo Xue had a grudge against these two beasts?
"Ming Huan, I need some snake venom and scorpion venom. Let them out and spit some for me!" Leng Ruoxue said with a cold smile.
"Good." Ming Huan knew he had gotten the best deal, so he couldn't refuse this small request from Leng Ruo Xue.
The King of Snakes and the King of Scorpions were released from the ring, for some unknown reason, they looked at Leng Ruoxue not far away, and a fearful thought suddenly arose in the hearts of the two beasts.
"Fill me with your venom!" Cold Snow took out two jade small bottles and placed them in front of the two beasts, commanding irresistibly.
"Huh!" The two beasts stared at each other, but neither of them moved.
"Didn't you hear what our master said?" Feng Zhan's phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, his tone somewhat displeased.
"Yes, sir." The two beasts, frightened and resigned, began to spit out their venom.
"Xue Er, your small bottle, how can it hold so much?" Leng Ruo Han asked in a low voice with some confusion. They had been spitting for two hours, and the Snake King and Scorpion King were almost exhausted, but that small jade bottle was still not full, it was truly unbelievable.
"Of course it can fit in, that's because it was refined using a special technique, inside is equivalent to having a space." Leng Ruoxue explained simply.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Leng Ruo Han couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Snake King and Scorpion King. Alas! They're truly pitiful! However, who told their subordinates to offend our family's little princess? You guys deserved to suffer!
About an hour later, the snake king and scorpion king were still spitting venom into the jade bottle...
"Alright, that's it! It seems you're not full yet." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat discontentedly, her face filled with disdain, as if saying "You guys are really useless".
The two beasts heard that they didn't need to spit anymore, so they directly fell to the ground, panting heavily with exhaustion. If it weren't for their extreme fatigue, Cold-as-Snow would have been furious enough to make them vomit blood.
Ming Huan somewhat helplessly put the two exhausted divine beasts back into his ring, then said to Leng Ruoxue: "Miss Leng, let's leave this place!"
"Alright, you first!" said Leng Ruoxue politely.
"We'll meet again." Ming Huan nodded at Leng Ruo Xue and the others before leading his team away from this place.
"Grandpa, are we leaving?" asked Leng Ruo Xue after Ming Huan and others left.
"Let's go!" Leng Qingtian nodded slightly.
Everyone walked towards the transmission array together.
"Girl! Which one shall we choose?" The old man asked curiously, without knowing where the next destination would be.
"Let's go right!" Leng Ruoxue said after a moment of thought. Since Ming Huan and the others had chosen to go left, they could only choose to go right.
After selecting, everyone set off together.
Another flash of light passed by, and when the light disappeared, Leng Ruo Xue and others had already been transported into the mountains.
"Girl, the mountain range is pretty good!" The butterfly flew in front of Leng Ruoxue and said happily.
"Mm." Cold-as-snow nodded, gazing at the towering mountain range before her, its peaks hidden in the clouds, and from halfway up the mountain, a heroic spirit arose.
"Grandpa, let's spend the night outside the mountain today and enter early tomorrow!" Leng Ruo Xue thought for a moment before saying to Leng Qing Tian and the others.
"Good, we're starving anyway." Leng Qingtian nodded in agreement.
Everyone sent back their bowls and after finishing dinner, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
Leng Ruo Xue held a small fox in her arms and arrived at the Purple Bamboo House.
Looking at the demon lying on the purple jade bed, Leng Ruo Xue's emotions were very complicated.
"Xuě ér, what's wrong?" asked the silver little fox, seeing Xuě ér's emotions were somewhat down.
"I want to save the demon." After a while, Leng Ruo Xue finally said slowly.
"With the Millennium Fire Lotus, as long as you refine the Fire Lotus Pill, he can wake up." The silver little fox said happily, ...he can finally wake up, it's really not easy.
"But, that Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus is actually..." Leng Ruo Xue was in a dilemma. The spirit of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus had already been born and it looked so adorable, so she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Xue Er, without the Huo Lian Dan, he won't be able to wake up." The silver fox pointed at the demon.
"What you said is right, the demon child is more important to me." Leng Ruo Xue steeled herself, Huo Er, I'm sorry, for the sake of the demon child, I can only sacrifice you.
After making up her mind, Leng Ruoxue left the Purple Bamboo House and went to find Huo'er.
"Mom." Huo Er immediately ran over and jumped into her arms as soon as he saw Leng Ruo Xue, acting coquettishly.
"Huo Er, what are you doing?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity.
"They accompanied me and told me a lot about mom." Huo Er said, pointing at Feng Da and others in a soft voice.
"Oh!" Leng Ruo Xue responded lightly, looking at Feng Da and others with some displeasure.
"Huh! Miss, we're going to sleep." Feng Da and the others saw Leng Ruo Xue's eyes were somewhat unfriendly, so they quickly scattered.
"Mother, do you need fire to refine the elixir?" Huo'er's pure and clear powder pupils stared at Leng Ruoxue without blinking.
"Hmm..." Leng Ruo Xue didn't expect Huo Er to ask this question, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond. She needed Huo Er to refine the pill, and had already made up her mind, but seeing Huo Er's innocent and adorable appearance, she felt a pang of hesitation... what should she do?
"Mother, Huo'er wants to save Father, you use Huo'er to refine the elixir!" Huo'er said with tears in her eyes, very seriously, and her beautiful eyelashes were filled with reluctance.
"Fire!" Cold as snow, her eyes welled up with tears, she hadn't expected Fire to volunteer to sacrifice himself. Although she could ignore the blood on her hands for the sake of the demon, but towards Fire, such a lovely little guy, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.
The little fox following behind Leng Ruoxue, upon hearing Huo'er's willingness to sacrifice himself to save him, felt a pang of emotion in his heart. Especially when that little guy called him "Dad", his feelings were truly...indescribable.
Is it really necessary to sacrifice this little thing? He also hesitated, he admitted that a call of "Dad" had softened his usually cold and hard heart...
Actually, thinking carefully, he can't return to his own body now, but at least he's alive and hasn't parted with Xue Er. If this little thing really becomes a Dan medicine, then it will be over...
"Xu'er, or else... let's go find some other fire lotus!" The silver little fox said with a knot in his throat, sigh! For the sake of this "dad", he'll soften up for once!
"Mom, Huoer is the best fire lotus, let's use Huoer!" Huoer said, it had already made up its mind, after all, it loved its mom too much!
"Huo Er, do you understand what it means to refine a dan?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
"I know! As a member of the heavenly material and earthly treasure, I'm very clear that my fate can be refined into a pill by mom, and Huo Er is delighted." Huo Er raised his fluffy little head, with an expression of reluctance on his face.
"Huo Er, if you refine it into a dan medicine, you will die." Leng Ruo Xue reminded him, unable to help herself.
"I know, but even though Huo Er is dead, Father can still be saved!" Huo Er said happily, he wanted to save his father!
"Fire!" Cold-as-Snow was speechless.
"Sister!" Qing Jue suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Qing Jue, what's wrong?" Leng Ruo Xue raised her eyes and looked at Qing Jue.
"Sister, it doesn't need to die, just a drop of its blood is needed and you can refine the Fire Lotus Pill." Qing Jue said, he had observed the spirit of the Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus for a long time and finally confirmed his speculation.
"Really?" Leng Ruoxue and Xiao Diao looked at Qing Jue together.
"Hmm, it's no ordinary Millennium Fire Lotus." Qing Jue said with a mysterious face, heh heh, sister's luck is really too good, to be able to get such a great thing.
"Could it be that there's actually a normal Thousand Year Fire Lotus?" Leng Ruoxue felt like she was truly too ignorant, waaah...
"Of course, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years or even a million years of fire lotus are all referred to as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus." Qing Jue smiled and explained, hehe, seeing his sister's expression, he knew she was struggling again!
"Oh, Huo Er, how old are you now?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity, knowing that Huo Er didn't have to die, her mood quickly adjusted.
"It's been a long time, I've forgotten." Huo Er said somewhat gloomily.
"Oh, it's nothing." Leng Ruo Xue stroked Huo Er's fluffy hair and cooed.
"Huo Er, give your blood to Mother for a drop!" Leng Ruo Xue continued, she was already eager to refine the Huo Lian Dan.
"Good." Huo Er was very quick and stretched out his own tender little paws, handing them over to Leng Ruo Xue's face.
Leng Ruo Xue took out a specially made jade bottle, then condensed her spiritual energy into a needle and quickly pricked the tender paw of Huo Er, squeezing out a drop of blood that fell into the jade bottle.
"Alright, Huo Er, thank you." Leng Ruo Xue patted Huo Er's little head and said.
"Hehe, Huoer is very happy to help Mom." Huoer smiled happily, her bright and shiny eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Qing Jue, I'm leaving Huo Er with you. Sister is going to refine the elixir." Leng Ruo Xue handed Huo Er over to Qing Jue's hands and then headed towards the refining room in the Purple Bamboo House.
"Come on, Huo Er, I'll take you to replenish your blood." After saying that, Qing Jue hugged Huo Er in his arms and disappeared directly.
The silver small weasel jumped onto a stone table not far from the Purple Bamboo House after they left, and lay down, its eyes staring tightly at the Purple Bamboo House.
Leng Ruoxue in the Zizhuwu Dan room carefully looked at the Dan formula again before officially starting to refine the Dan. The Huilian Dan was a high-grade elixir, although it was her first time refining it, but for her, it wasn't difficult.
Ignite the furnace, after the dan furnace is preheated, Leng Ruo Xue will put the previously prepared medicinal materials into the dan furnace in order, and wait until all the medicinal materials are dissolved before dripping Fire's blood into the dan furnace. Fire's drop of blood quickly merged with all the medicinal liquids, then it was time for purification and condensation...
After the elixir was successfully refined, the entire alchemy room was filled with the fragrance of Huo Lian Dan. Cold-as-Snow opened the furnace and saw that in the center of the furnace were dozens of red elixirs, each one resembling a drop of blood - a ruby-like gemstone, round, full, and crystal clear!
Leng Ruo Xue used a jade bottle to collect the dan medicine, and happened to count them. Unexpectedly, there were more than eighty pellets. This was truly beyond her expectations. However, she guessed that this should be related to Huo Er's blood, otherwise, it would not have been possible to refine so many.
Received the Dan medicine, Cold as Snow left the alchemy room and came to the bedside of the demon.
"You demon, you can finally wake up." Cold-as-snow whispered to herself and took out a fire lotus pill, placing it on the demon's lips.
As soon as Huo Lian Dan came into contact with the demon's lips, the heat of the medicine immediately melted the thin layer of ice covering his lips, and Leng Ruo Xue took advantage of the situation to send the medicine into the demon's mouth...
After a moment, the thin ice on the demon's body began to melt...
After a while, the cold poison in the demon's body was slowly forced out of his body...
After a long time, the eyelids of the demon child moved slightly, but he still didn't wake up...
Ling Ruo Xue stood by the bed, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the demon on the bed, her entire heart tense and raised to her throat...
How come he's still not awake? Leng Ruo Xue's anxious heart was on the verge of collapse, just a moment ago she clearly saw the demon move...
After waiting for who knows how long, the demon finally opened his eyes.
"Xu'er." The demon softly called out, wooo... he's finally back!
"Monster!" Cold-as-snow excitedly threw herself into the monster's arms, tightly embracing him, tears streaming out of her eyes like a string of broken pearls...
"Xuě er! Don't cry." The demon stretched out his arms and held Xuě er tightly in his embrace. It was great, he could finally hold Xuě er again. However, when he was a little fox before, being hugged by Xuě er every day also felt pretty good.
"You demonic creature, if you dare to leave me, I'll make you regret it!" She said coldly, her eyes red from holding back tears.
"Xu'er, who said I'd leave you? I've always been by your side!" However, it was as Xiao Diao that the rogue added in her heart.
"I don't care, just as long as you're not allowed to leave me!" Dong Xue shouted in a cold and overbearing tone.
"Yes, milady." The demoness replied in a timid tone, like a young daughter-in-law.
"Wife! I'm so hungry!" The demon continued with a somewhat spoiled tone.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" asked Leng Ruo Xue. Uh, after sleeping for so long, I should be hungry.
"Can I have whatever I want to eat?" The demon asked with sparkling black eyes, his face full of expectation.
"Hmm, what do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you." said Leng Ruoxue very seriously.
"Then... I want to eat tofu!" The demon smiled like a sly little fox, his bright black eyes blinking!
"Alright, you wait!" Leng Ruo Xue said, and directly ran out.
"Huh? Xue'er, where are you going?" The demoniac looked at the empty and deserted bosom, asking somewhat puzzled.
Leng Ruo Xue left the Purple Bamboo House and rushed straight to their temporary kitchen.
In the kitchen, Leng Ruo Xue stared at the tofu she had just taken out, calming her heartbeat.
Damn it, the demon just woke up and wanted to eat her tofu. In fact, she wasn't unaware of the demon's intentions, but rather, in this life or the next, she was always a pure and innocent girl, and besides, no man dared to take advantage of her. However, that demon never missed any opportunity, but she would absolutely not admit that she had just been shy!
Hmph! You want to eat tofu? Well, I'll let you have your fill then.
Leng Ruoxue had prepared a table of tofu feast and then placed it in front of the demon.
"Xu'er, what does this mean?" The demon looked at the several plates of tofu in front of him, his heart racing with cold sweat. Uh... was Xu'er playing a trick on him? He didn't like eating this tofu one bit. In fact, it was his most hated food. The only tofu he liked was Xu'er's...
"It's all tofu! Various flavors are available, you will definitely be satisfied." Leng Ruoxue laughed so charmingly! Hehe, the demon's hungry expression is quite cute.
"Xue Er, I don't want to eat this tofu!" The demon's face twisted in distaste, directly stating his dissatisfaction, so that Xue Er wouldn't pretend not to understand.
"What kind of tofu do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you." said Leng Ruoxue patiently.
"I want to eat your tofu." The demon gazed at Leng Ruoxue with deep affection and said softly.
"Oh, this is my tofu! I made all of these." Leng Ruo Xue continued to pretend to be stupid, but her heart was beating faster and faster.
The demon took a deep breath and stretched out his long arm, directly pulling the cold Ruo Xue into his embrace...
"Xue Er, be good and cooperate with me! I'll just kiss you once, I promise it won't go any further." The demon said soothingly, as he slowly lowered his head...
"Mom, is Dad awake?"
Just as the demon's lips were about to touch Cold-as-Snow's pink lips, which were less than a centimeter apart, a soft and gentle voice sounded in their ears.
"Huh? Mom, what are you doing?" Huo Er's face was full of curiosity as he looked at the two people embracing each other, his beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
"Ah! Not suitable for children!" Leng Ruoxue hastily covered Huo'er's eyes and jumped out of the demon's embrace.
Damn it, she was actually tempted by that demon just now... her proud willpower!
The demon looked at the little firefly with a mixture of annoyance and gratitude, not knowing whether to thank it or beat it up. Alas, the tofu that was about to be eaten flew away! Snow will definitely be more vigilant in the future...
Leng Ruo Xue looked at the gloomy-looking Yao Jiao, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart. Actually, she wasn't unwilling to let Yao Jiao get close, it's just...just that she hadn't prepared herself yet! That's right, she hadn't prepared herself yet, absolutely not because she was shy! Not!
"He's your father." said Leng Ruo Xue, releasing her hand from covering Huo Er's eyes.
"Dad, hehe, you're finally awake, that's great." Huo Er said happily.
"Fire boy, thank you for saving Dad!" At the sound of "Dad", the little demon was bought off again, especially since this was personally acknowledged by Xue Er!
"Hehe." Huo Er simply smiled foolishly.
"Sister." Qing Jue appeared somewhat awkwardly before them, uh! But it wasn't him who had interrupted someone's good time, oh no!
"Qing Jue, what brings you here too?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some puzzlement.
"Hehe, sister, it's not just me!" Qing Jue pointed outside.
Leng Ruo Xue looked out the window, but found that at some point, her doorway was crowded with people. Her grandfathers had all come, eh! Didn't they say they were going to sleep?
"Monster, Grandfather and the others are outside, let's go!" Leng Ruoxue turned her head to look at the monster.
"Alright." The demon said somewhat helplessly, wistfully... their world of two was no more!
Leng Ruo Xue suppressed her smile and pulled out the demon who had a gloomy face together.
"Grandpa." The demon child saw Leng Qingtian and called out very enthusiastically.
"Good, it's fine as long as you wake up." Leng Qingtian said with a relieved heart. Seeing Ye Chen waking up, he finally felt at ease.
"Night little boy, you've slept long enough." The old man joked.
"Hmm, it's been long enough." The demon nodded, so he wanted a world of two people, huh! Wooo...
"Haha, it's good that you're awake, Ye Chen. You have no idea, we thought you were dead at the time, and our family's Ruo Xue was heartbroken!" Lin Liang also spoke up.
"Grandpa Lin!" Leng Ruo Xue's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Haha, it seems that Ruo Xue has also become shy!" Lin Liang burst out laughing.
Everyone present couldn't help but burst out laughing...
