Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 424
"You need my blood?" Gu Xu asked.

Xuenv nodded, her face was cold.

"Those people outside...are they chasing you?" she asked.

"Yes."

"If you stay here, I can protect you. But every seven days, you need to give me a little blood."

Gu Xu did not respond immediately.

Xuenv still has her humanity, and even made a deal with him, a human race, calmly.This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.

But he thought about it, now, for him, being around Xue Nu can be regarded as the safest place in the whole world, even safer than the northern border.

Although Zhao Changying from the Northern Realm is the strongest True Monarch of the Eighth Realm, his life is dying after all, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Xuenv is a living saint-level powerhouse, and she just defeated the Grand Master of Qi in a battle.

With her as a bodyguard, as long as Emperor Tianxing doesn't take action personally, or is not besieged by many saints, Gu Xu can almost walk sideways in the territory of the Daqi Dynasty.

"But I need to leave Yishan next to do something important."

Gu Xu pondered for a moment, and tentatively bargained with Xue Nu.

He was betting that Xue Nu needed him more than he needed her.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Qingzhou Mansion first, and then go to Kunlun."

Xuenv stood still and closed her eyes, as if evaluating her own state and weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Xu: "I can go with you."

Since the family collapsed more than ten years ago, she has lived on the top of this snow-capped mountain far away from the world without desire and desire. What she does day and night is to fight against her own instinct.

Until today I met Gu Xu.

To her, his flesh and blood, his soul, are like the most delicious food in the world, and he can smell his alluring fragrance from a long distance away.

Even if she has not fully awakened from a deep sleep, she will be driven by instinct to eat him up.

However, after drinking Gu Xu's blood, her instinct of hunger and thirst for several years seemed to feel a kind of long-lost satisfaction, and entered a peaceful state - no longer as usual, yelling all the time, Urging her to hunt.

She was finally able to enjoy a short period of peace in the endless torture.

Hearing her words, Gu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

"Xue Nu left Yishan, where she lived for more than ten years, and wandered in the rivers and lakes, for a man!"

When such news spread, the entire Great Qi Dynasty might be shocked.

But Gu Xu still wanted to talk about the terms.

It can be seen that Xue Nu has an ignorant temperament and is not good at negotiating—she easily exposed her desire and bottom line to him.

"I've never been in good health," he said. "If the bloodletting continued, it could have serious consequences."

Xue Nu stared at him, silent for a few seconds.

Then she waved her hand lightly, and two white things flew into the cave from the outside and landed firmly in her hands.

"Take it." She handed them to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu took these two ginseng-shaped things, and saw that they were white and crystal-clear in color, with a faint luster, like priceless jade.

It was snow ginseng!

Gu Xu couldn't help thinking that when he was still an official in Yishui County, Chen Jisheng sneaked into Yishan Mountain and stole a snow ginseng plant in order to help him replenish his health.

But in the process, Chen Jisheng fell under the curse of "Frost Erosion" - Gu Xu also went to Lu's haunted house to find a way to break it for him.

It can be said that the earliest relationship between Gu Xu and Xue Nu began with that snow ginseng.

However, the original snow ginseng plant cost Chen Jisheng a lot and made him go through hardships.

The two ginseng plants now were thrown into his hands by Xue Nu like Chinese cabbages.

Such a strong contrast made Gu Xu feel a little dazed for a moment.

"Thank you." He said softly.

"Hmm... You're welcome." Xue Nu thought for a while and responded.

She has been away from human society for too long, so that these everyday polite expressions are a little rusty in her mouth.

After a short pause, she continued, "However, I can't start with you right now. You have to wait for me... well, in about seven days, I need to get used to the new strength in my body."

New power... Could it be that during the period of slumber, Xue Nu's strength has increased again?No wonder he was able to defeat the national division just now.

Gu Xu thought silently.

At the same time, he readily agreed, "No problem."

…………

In the next few days, Gu Xu and Xue Nu stayed on the top of Yishan Mountain, which was quiet and deserted.

Gu Xu was busy practicing and drawing talismans, and Xue Nu was busy adapting to the new power.

The two rarely spoke to each other.

But they didn't feel embarrassed by the silence, instead they all felt at ease in this peaceful atmosphere.

A few days later, there was a heavy snowfall on Yishan Mountain.

Snowflakes, like fluttering butterflies, fell one after another, covering the earth with a thick blanket, and the whole Yishan Mountain became a white world.

Gu Xu finished his practice, opened his eyes, and walked outside the cave.

Then he saw Yuki who seemed to be busy building a snowman.

She piled several snowballs together and used magic to modify them into the shapes of animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards.

The exquisite bare feet stepped on the snow, but did not leave the slightest footprint.

When these animals were basically formed, Xue Nu patted each of their heads, and they seemed to be endowed with vitality in an instant, and they started to move one after another.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xu instantly remembered the phantom he saw when he recognized the owner of the "Jinghong Pen"——

A slender and pale girl in plain clothes stood in the garden, holding a "Jinghong Pen", and chanted in an ethereal voice:
"Bai Xue thinks the spring is too late, so she wears the garden tree as flying flowers."

As far as he knows, the first poem written with the "Jinghong Brush" is very important to the owners of the "Jinghong Brush" in the past.

Like Lu Shiyao's Ice and Snow Avenue, life is bred in the extreme cold.

Gu Xu originally thought that the Snow Maiden would command the group of ice and snow beasts to wreak havoc on the mountains, announcing her awakening to the world.

But he never expected that Snow Maiden manipulated these animals and made up a story——

A tiger is a fatuous and irritable monarch, a fox is a flattering courtier, a bear is a loyal general...

The tiger believed the fox's slander, dismissed Xiong from his office, and made Xiong return home depressed.

But after losing the bear, the tiger was defeated in the battle with the enemy country, and had to go to the countryside where the bear lived, and visited the thatched cottage to invite him out.

……

Xue Nu remained expressionless on her face.

But seeing her concentrated appearance, Gu Xu knew that she was enjoying it.

Gu Xu recalled that when he was a child in his previous life, as an only child generation, he often entertained himself due to the lack of playmates, playing with various models in the bedroom, deducing Ultraman and monsters, Autobots and Batian in his mind. Tiger's earth-shattering battle.

"She must be lonely too!"

Looking at the slim figure of Xue Nu, Gu Xu said silently in his heart.
