Chapter 50: Love Tonic Soup
The Demon Venerable leaned back in his chair and did not hide the look of appreciation in his eyes, "Jian Musheng, you are really pretending." ”
"Most of the time I didn't pretend," Jian Lin felt the need to explain this matter clearly, "There is no Jin Dan, the cultivation is low, and he is not a first-class powerhouse, and more often than not, he can only choose to compromise." ”
This is Jian Lin's latest realization, the so-called iron still needs its own hardness, the pain she is facing today, the guilt that cannot be resolved, in the final analysis, is caused by her not being strong enough.
"I believe you," the Demon Venerable leaned forward and began to negotiate with her, "So, you need to cooperate with me, don't you?" ”
Jian Lin was stunned, he didn't expect the Demon Venerable to suddenly say this.
"However, I don't have anything to help Lord Demon Venerable," Jian Lin was very self-aware, "I'll only cause you trouble." ”
"Don't be modest," the Demon Venerable was full of interest, not knowing whether it was mockery or sincerity, "You are very powerful, and you are willing to live and die with me, causing trouble, just a small trouble, I am willing to solve it for you." ”
Jian Lin's eyebrows frowned slightly, and for a while he couldn't figure out what the Demon Venerable meant by this.
Tao Niang sat on Jian Lin's shoulder and watched the excitement, shaking her feet with interest, only thinking that these two people were really interesting, even more interesting than what was written in the script.
"Okay, don't go around," Demon Venerable retracted his expression and asked seriously, "I just want to ask you, would you like to wait for me to heal my injuries, and I will go to Guanlan Sect with you." ”
If there is a Demon Venerable who goes with her, of course, it is many times better than going by herself, and she has no reason not to agree, but she always feels that something is wrong.
"Let me think about it." Jian Lin said cautiously.
Coming out of the study with a heavy heart, Jian Lin walked along the corridor, the light rain outside was dense, it had been raining all day, she leaned on the edge of the corridor in a daze, Tao Niang saw that there was no one left and right, and poked her head out to chat with her.
"Why didn't you say yes?" Tao Niang asked, "I think I will be very happy to be with Lord Mozun." ”
Jian Lin let out a long sigh, it stands to reason that she is with the Demon Venerable, not only is it safe and secure, but it will also greatly increase the chance of attacking, and there are many benefits at a glance.
It's just that a voice in her heart keeps saying, don't drag him down, don't let him get hurt.
"Because I can't protect him," Jian Lin said depressedly, "It's all my fault, it's because I'm too weak." ”
"If it's for this reason," Tao Niang said secretly, "If you reject the Demon Venerable, it will only make the other party sad." ”
"He won't!" Jian Lin retorted, she was very sure of this, "If he is not happy, he will only toss me to be angry." ”
"In that case, then you should promise the Demon Venerable," Tao Niang smiled in her eyes, "Do you still expect him to bully you?" ”
Jian Lin lowered his head, looked into Tao Niang's eyes, and raised his thumb to express his appreciation, "Tao Niang, your three or two sentences are to the point, and I really admire and admire you." ”
"This is called the authorities, the obsessed bystanders, and the bystanders." Tao Niang's laughter was crisp, through the fine rain and mist, and spread far, far away.
After being enlightened by Tao Niang, Jian Lin no longer hesitated, and quickly agreed to the Demon Venerable, and the two went to Guanlan Sect together.
After discussing this matter, Jian Lin naturally began to pay attention to the recovery of the Demon Venerable.
I don't know if I don't pay attention to this, and when she pays attention, she is startled, she finds that the Demon Venerable is recovering very slowly, and it has been several days since she came back from the demon world, and the abdominal wound is still not scabbed, and she will bleed every time she changes the dressing.
External injuries heal slowly, and so do internal injuries.
It's okay during the day, but he often coughs at night, and his sick and weak appearance makes Jian Lin feel distressed.
It's a pity that she doesn't know medical skills, and after thinking about it, she decided to stew some tonic soup for Mozun to drink, what ginseng deer antler blood swallow, she gave the list to the chief manager, and the chief manager was happy to do this for her, and enthusiastically sent her to the kitchen.
The kitchen of the Demon Palace is just a furnishing, there is no cook, it is empty, and there is not a trace of fireworks.
Jian Lin shrugged his shoulders, grinned and used it for his own use, stewed and tonified the soup for the Demon Venerable in it, and made himself something delicious by the way.
Her cooking skills are okay, she was an exchange student in college, studied abroad for two years, was in a foreign land, had to learn to cook, and later returned to China to be busy with her career and never cooked again.
I thought that I would never enter the kitchen again in this life, who would cook if she was rich, and when her company went public, after she became a rich woman, she ate fragrant and spicy food every day, and let the Michelin chef cook for her.
I never thought that she would fall to this point, and now she not only has to cook, but also learn to make fire in the most primitive way.
Jian Lin used a fire stick to provoke the flames, and sighed helplessly, "I really owe him." ”
Tao Niang smiled silently, waiting for Jian Lin to roast chestnuts for her to eat.
When night fell, Jian Lin knocked on the door of the Demon Zun's study with a bowl of ginseng soup, and an answer came from inside, and she pushed the door and entered.
Demon Zun was sitting cross-legged on the small couch, pranayama with his eyes closed to recuperate, Jian Lin put the bowl of ginseng soup on the small coffee table, and the sound of porcelain colliding attracted the attention of Demon Zun.
The Demon Venerable opened his eyes slightly, swept his gaze, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
"Ginseng soup, for tonifying the body." Jian Lin replied.
Demon Venerable sneered, closed his eyes and continued to breathe, and said lazily, "You don't think that this kind of thing will work on my wounds. ”
"Anyway, there is no harm," Jian Lin sat on the small round stool at the table, holding his cheek with one hand and looking at the Demon Venerable, "Lord Demon Venerable, I have been up for most of the day, you can appreciate your face and taste it." ”
The Demon Venerable raised his hand to retract his momentum, let out a long breath, completed a pranayama, opened his eyes, and said, "Are you using this method to urge me to heal my wounds quickly?" ”
Jian Lin didn't mean that, but now that she was pointed out by the Demon Venerable, she felt that there was no need to deny it.
"Sort of," Jian Lin grinned, "No one will dislike injuries and will heal sooner, Lord Demon Venerable, do you say that's the truth." ”
Demon Venerable glanced at her quietly, reached out to take the porcelain white soup cup, reached out to lift the lid, and the rich aroma came to his face.
Jian Lin also put a lot of other things in the ginseng soup, black chicken pork belly, yam ginger, longan peanuts, and a little salt to taste, which is more like a delicacy.
Demon Venerable lowered his eyes and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but recall, when was the last time he ate such an exquisite meal?
It seems that about a hundred years ago, I traveled to the mortal world with a person and ate a lot of good things with her, but unfortunately it took too long and I forgot all the tastes.
"Lord Mozun, what are you looking at?" Jian Lin carried a small stool and sat opposite him, "This soup is not poisonous, don't worry about it." ”
Demon Venerable raised his eyes and brought the soup cup to his lips to taste it, it was delicious, with a slight bitterness, and overall, it was unexpectedly delicious.
Jian Lin asked expectantly, "How is it?" Not bad, isn't it? ”
"Well, that's good," the Demon Venerable said solemnly, taking another sip, "but you have to understand that this is really of no use to me at all, and the injury won't be that good." ”
"I know, it's enough to drink ginseng soup," Jian Lin didn't care about this, she just wanted to find something to do for herself, she immediately asked, "Then again, why is the Demon Emperor so powerful, Lord Demon Venerable's cultivation is profound, if it is a flesh injury, I thought it would be fine in two or three days." ”
The Demon Venerable took two more sips and replied slowly, "The Demon Emperor's method of cutting the golden pill is vicious, do you remember the Spirit Crane clan, it is the same technique, I originally thought it would only be useful for demons, but I didn't expect it to have an impact on people, the wound heals slowly, and it may take a while." ”
Thinking of the tragic situation of the Linghe girl, Jian Lin suddenly felt bad, she said with a worried face, "That's it, Lord Mozun, I see that you have been doing your own exercises to heal your injuries in the past few days, do you want to find someone to take a look, as a patient, the most taboo and arrogant, it is always good to listen to other people's advice." ”
Jian Lin remembered what the chief manager said that night, saying that he wanted to call Xie Jin back, and the Demon Venerable was afraid that it would affect the Demon Sect's refusal, so wouldn't it be these days, he has always resisted by himself, and he feels hard when he thinks about it.
Demon Venerable drank the ginseng soup completely, raised his hand to put the soup cup back on the small coffee table, and said as if he was troubled, "I understand, but I always have to think about the overall situation." ”
Jian Lin was stunned for a moment, and for the first time clearly realized the status of the Demon Venerable, as well as the responsibilities he had to bear.
He is the lord of the demon world, usually arrogant and uninhibited, and does whatever he wants, but it turns out that there are times when he has to hide his injuries and illnesses from the outside world for the sake of responsibility, and he compromises everything.
Jian Lin didn't feel good in his heart, stood up and took the tray, "Then the Demon Venerable have a good rest, I'll go first, and I will continue to stew soup for you tomorrow, take your time, don't worry." ”
After saying that, she left with the tray, and the Demon Venerable looked at her back, not knowing what she was thinking.
It was a heavy night and it rained lightly.
Listening to the sound of the rain hitting the window lattice, the Demon Venerable suddenly got up, slowly walked to the desk, took a pen and wrote a letter, and sent it to the man, instructing him to hide his whereabouts and secretly return to the Demon Sect.
She was right, no matter what, this injury can't be delayed any longer, so ask Xie Jin to come back and take a look.
Xie Jin is the right protector of the Demon Sect, proficient in medical skills and poison arts, it is said that murder never sees blood, he has a good reputation, his whereabouts are treacherous, he does secret things for the Demon Sect, and rarely returns to the Demon Sect.
Demon Zun was too lazy to call him back, first, for the sake of the overall situation, to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion, and second, this person was too annoying, nagging for people's lives, and Demon Zun was very annoying to him.
Although they have a friendship and a good relationship, he wishes he would not see Xie Jin in this life, just write a letter and have a good conversation, concise and effective, and do not delay things at all.
Now when I think of him coming back, although he can heal his injuries, the Demon Venerable's head is already big, and it's really annoying.
Xie Jin quickly replied, saying that it would take him four or five days to rush back, and he was still nagging in the letter complaining that since he was injured, why didn't he call him back earlier, Mozun didn't finish reading it, and stretched out his hand to burn the letter.
Jian Lin has been insisting on stewing soup for the past few days, and later began to make dim sum, and he really didn't urge Mozun anymore, but just let him eat more every day.
Late that night, Jian Lin sent a supper to the Demon Zun, and the Demon Zun expressed his gratitude and said that he would teach her a set of swordsmanship.
The two were comparing in the study, and Jian Lin was interested, stabbed the demon venerable with a flower branch, and said excitedly, "You lost!" ”
Demon Zun snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed the flower branch and swiped it out, Jian Lin couldn't help it, Demon Zun turned around and grabbed her neck, and controlled her in his arms, "You are full of flaws, a three-year-old child can win you." ”
Jian Lin smiled and struggled, and the Demon Venerable did not move like a mountain.
The two of them were bustling over there, and suddenly a loud roar erupted in the silent room, "Ah! I didn't see anything! ”
Scared Jian Lin a lot, who is it in the middle of the night!
