Chapter 54: Straw Boats

In the man's puzzled gaze, Bai Jiu stretched his limbs and stretched his waist.

"It's rare to move your muscles and bones, but I'm a little tired." He yawned, tears squeezing out of the corners of his eyes.

A dozen or so bodyguards finally arrived on the rooftop, and they quickly surrounded the two. Behind them, a slender and slender figure walked gracefully.

"Long time no see, Xuanye." Bai Jiu narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, turning his head to look at the visitor.

The moonlight fell on the man's face, adding a touch of brilliance to the cool night.

It was a face that was almost as white as it had been for a long time, with bright eyes and bright teeth, Chu Chu was moving, and the long black curls were as smooth as a waterfall, but the skin was too pale and slightly sickly.

It's just that, even though it is so beautiful, the pale beauty is still taken away by the fox demon's charming smile in an instant.

Seeing the blood marks on Bai Jiu's body, Xuanye's beautiful face was instantly filled with anger, and then he shouted at the man: "Ye Cangyuan! Didn't I say you can't hurt the teacher? That's how you do it? Deduction money! Deduction money! ”

The man bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, but this is really not an opponent who can be arrested by showing mercy. "Moreover, there are a few swords that he can obviously dodge.

But Xuanye couldn't listen to his explanation, he quickly ran to Bai Jiu's side, eagerly looking at the fox demon who had been thinking about it for many years, and his face flushed with excitement.

"Teacher, are you alright? Does it hurt? He reached out to examine the wound, but hesitated to touch the other man.

Bai Jiu looked at his helpless appearance, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, just to avoid the hand he still held after all.

"I'm sleepy, Xuanye." As he spoke, he walked towards the glass door leading to the room as if he were the master.

"Then, when you're done treating your wounds, you'll ......," Genya said tentatively.

The bodyguards gathered to block the path of the fox demon.

"Get out of here!" Xuanye roared angrily, interpreting the double standard to the fullest. "By the way, Ye Cangyuan called the doctor over."

"Yes." The man replied softly and followed them.

……

"So we're still walking together, but I've never heard of a bounty hunter as powerful as you."

"Mr. Bai has won the prize." Ye Cangyuan stood respectfully to the side, waiting for his master's dispatch at any time.

Bai Jiu leaned comfortably on the soft and luxurious sofa, and the goblet in his hand contained red wine with a price comparable to that of diamonds. The family doctor was bandaging his wounds on the side, while the fox demon's fan brother Xuanye kept a certain distance and looked at Bai Jiu eagerly, his gaze seemed to envelop the fox demon entirely.

Where does this look like a little captive? And this master of his own...... Ye Cangyuan had never seen him look so out of shape.

"However, you are equipped with such high-grade magic weapons, why don't you deserve a good sword?" Bai Jiu refers to the other party's monocle.

With such great strength and equipment that can break camouflage spells, he will not miss a single enemy. However, the sword he used in the A-rank should be barely a B-rank weapon.

"The Magic Breaking Mirror was prepared by Mr. Xuan, but the saber ......" Ye Cangyuan showed a rare gentle expression.

Ah, this is...... Bai Jiu felt what he had been pursuing, so he stared intently at the man.

Xuanye misunderstood, he felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Teacher, it's all bandaged." ”

Bai Jiu looked at the bandaged shoulder, and remembered that in the past few months, he had treated the girl's wounds like this.

"Thank you, Genya." Having said that, Bai Jiu never looked up at the other party.

In the forty-square-meter bathroom, Bai Jiu soaked alone in the moderately hot water, and as a person with mental ability, he had a way not to wet the wounds and bandages.

Of course, he knows some healing techniques, but he still has the use of keeping these wounds.

He wrapped himself in a bathrobe and walked out with a towel wiping his damp hair.

A flush appeared on Xuanye's face, and he dragged a red velvet cushion with both hands, on which was placed a delicate shackle, etched with intricate patterns.

Bai Jiu could see at a glance that it was a forbidden magic weapon.

"Teacher, please stay and continue to teach me as before." Xuanye looked very apprehensive, but still finished his appeal.

Bai Jiu raised his head and looked at the man for the first time.

Genya is beautiful, and it can be said that it is the most beautiful human being that Hakujiu has ever seen.

A hundred years ago, Bai Jiu came to the human world from the demon world, and successfully broke through the level with his good illusions, becoming a demon clan that was not registered. Starting from the western part of country S, he has traveled to many places, and his final foothold is Rize City in the east, which has begun to write a prosperous chapter that has lasted for many years.

It was here that he met one of the few best friends in his life, the human who gave up the chance to live forever for the woman he loved.

Of course, Bai Jiu's journey did not stop, but he always returned here every few years or more than ten years to drink and catch up with his best friends. He watched the other person get married, he had children, he watched him grow bigger and bigger in the antiques business, he watched him grow old quickly after losing his lover...... Until the child also had a child, until he was lying on the sickbed for a long time and could no longer afford it.

"Xiaobai, this is very good, I will be able to find her soon."

In fact, no one knows where the human soul will go, but Bai Jiu didn't say anything after all.

"My son is a little cowardly, he can barely keep this business, and my grandson Xuanye, he is a very spiritual child, you take care of it for me."

"Yes, my friend." What a human who knows how to make plans.

So, Bai Jiu became Xuanye's teacher.

He traveled far and wide, taught a visionary mind and countless strange stories. Every year he would take a few months out to stay in Rize City.

Genya was indeed an extremely intelligent student, as his grandfather said. He always finds clues in those strange stories, and even finds unusual collectibles.

This lasted until Genya was 16 years old, and Bai Jiu thought that he was already able to take charge on his own, and he didn't want to associate with humans too deeply at this time, so he left a letter and left.

Unexpectedly, after years of getting along and suddenly parting, the seed in Xiao Xuanye's heart quickly germinated and grew.

At this moment, the longing light that flashed in Xuanye's eyes made Bai Jiu puzzled.

Is this love?

The person in front of him was obviously full of him, but he always felt that something was wrong.

This is different from the look of my father and mother, and even the look of the deacon just now......

Bai Jiu's gaze fell back on the exquisite shackles.

Yes, if you really love me, would you want to rely on such things to deprive me of my freedom?

It's just an attempt to possess.

It's longing, it's plundering, it's conquering.

This is not love.

It's just an instinctive reaction after being affected by "natural charm".

Only her, only she can.

The image of the girl came to life in his mind, and she just said lightly: "You can't sit on the sofa." ”

Other than that, nothing more.

If it were her, she would love me and let me be free.

As long as she loves me, she will give everything she has.

That's the perfect love.

"Okay, I can accept this ban, but here's ......"

In Xuanye's expectant gaze, Bai Jiu picked up the shackles and put them on his left hand without the slightest hesitation, and then he pointed to his heart and said:

"There's already a person living here."
