Yuan Chu stood there, stunned for a long time, and did not move.

Li Yang and others saw that Yuanchu had not made any move for a long time, and hesitantly asked: "Uncle Master, how should we place these children?"

Yuan Chu did not reply to him immediately. He walked into the iron cage with some difficulty, raised his hand and carefully picked up Gu Xi.

Feeling the weight of the heroine, Yuanchu sighed in his heart, "Tsk tsk, the heroine is too light, there are less than two pounds of meat on her body, she doesn't normally eat only vegetarian food, does she?"

Suddenly, I felt something sticky on my hand. Something was wrong, so I looked down.

The child's linen clothes were soaked with thick blood, and the blood spread on the child's clothes, dyeing the clothes a dark color.

At first, the distance was too far to see clearly. From a closer distance, Yuanchu took a closer look at the child.

Although her face looked dirty and bloodless, upon closer inspection, her facial features were still regular. There was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, her brows were furrowed, her lips were pale, her body was shivering, and her body temperature was frighteningly low.

Yuanchu couldn't believe that this little kid was the future Demon Lord and was injured like this. On the other hand, the other kids were at most a little dirty and fell into a coma, but they were not injured so seriously.

The original book describes her as a demon lord who always has a cruel look on her face. Her numb face is as stagnant as a clay or stone sculpture, and it seems that nothing can attract her attention.

There was always a trace of sadness on her face that was difficult to conceal, and there was no smile on the corners of her lips. Only her eyes moved occasionally, and then fell silent like a dry well.

In a later battle between immortals and demons, Gu Xi was able to fight against a hundred people alone and severely damaged all the immortal sects with his own strength.

Afterwards, he led his subordinates to turn all the immortal sects upside down, as if he wanted to drag everyone in the world to be buried with him.

But the child in front of him was as thin as a bamboo pole. A child who was so seriously injured would actually become a demon lord in the future.

"Is this really the demon lord who will destroy the world in the future?" Yuanchu began to doubt his own eyes.

"Host, host, according to the system algorithm, the heroine's health condition is very bad. Without further ado, let's find an inn and heal her injuries," Ling Ling Liu said anxiously.

Yuan Chu came back to his senses, immediately turned to look at Li Yang and said, "Send some disciples to find out the original family situations of these children, and escort them home safely."

Li Yang bowed his head and said, "Yes, disciple, I will obey your command."

Wang Kunze looked at Yuanchu holding the child in his arms and hesitated to say, "Then the child in your arms..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuanchu glaring at him. He immediately shut up and changed his words, "Disciple will escort these children home safely."

Yuanchu just nodded slightly.

After leaving the cave, Wang Kunze patted his chest with lingering fear, "Ah, I was so scared, the look in Master Yuanchu's eyes just now was so scary, it felt like he wanted to kill someone."

Li Yang, who was walking beside him, walked over and patted his shoulder, jokingly saying, "It's better not to ask about these venerables' affairs. Be more careful next time."

Wang Kunze nodded repeatedly, "I won't dare to say that again. I won't dare to say that again next time."

*Inside the cave*

After the disciples dispersed, Yuanchu left the cave and flew to the inn.

Yuan Chu pushed open the door of the inn with one hand, strode to the bed, and carefully placed Gu Xi on the bed.

To heal her wounds, it seems that I have to strip her clothes off first to stop the bleeding, and then change her into clean clothes.

The matter was urgent, Yuanchu didn't think too much about it. Besides, in Yuanchu's opinion, this child was only fourteen years old and there was no need to worry too much.

As soon as he raised his hand to peel off Gu Xi's clothes, he saw several obvious scarlet whip marks on her back, with blood oozing out.

In addition, there are some scabbed scars, some light and some dark, making the entire back look very creepy.

Carefully turning the person over, there were wounds of varying sizes on his chest. The originally fair skin was no longer visible, replaced by blue and purple bruises.

"Tsk, what did this kid go through before? Why does he have so many injuries on his body?"

Yuanchu applied the medicine for treating external injuries that he brought from the sect on Gu Xi's wounds, put on the newly bought clothes for her, and then fed her a blood pill.

He covered her with the quilt, touched her forehead with the back of his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the fever is not that serious."

After doing all this, Yuan Chu suddenly felt his mouth dry and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He sat down on the wooden stool next to the table in the room.

She raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea. While calming herself down, she asked, "Xiao Liu, why did the heroine get so badly injured?"

"Host, this is related to the heroine's life experience. Xiaoliu is currently unable to tell the host. You have to rely on the host to participate in the plot with the heroine and figure it out on your own," Ling Lingliu said with difficulty.

In the original book, the heroine's life experience was not described in detail, but only mentioned briefly, and Yuanchu did not know the details of the heroine's life experience.

Hearing that the system seemed to be hiding something, Yuanchu could only sigh and "Well, it seems that we can only know after she wakes up."

Then he stayed with Gu Xi all night, but she still seemed to show no signs of waking up.

The next morning

The sunlight came in, filtered by the window paper of the inn, and leaked onto Yuan Chu's body, turning into a faint, round, gently swaying halo.

Yuan Chu felt the warm sunshine and stretched out of habit after waking up. Then he walked to the bed to check on Gu Xi's condition.

"Well, there seems to be some color on her face. It's worth it that I spent half my life saving her. I hope she can wake up soon," she murmured.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the heroine still hadn't woken up, Yuanchu was bored. He was so bored that he simply left the inn and went out for a walk.

Yesterday, the disciples of Kunlun Sect had escorted the lost children of the townspeople back home one by one, and informed them that the culprit who captured their children, the Sky-Swallowing Firebird, had been seriously injured by their Kunlun Sect and had fled Qingshui Town.

Tell them to relax and the Sky-Devouring Firebird won't dare to do anything again.

So today the streets have regained some of their former prosperity.

The streets are bustling with people, selling a wide variety of small commodities, and dotted with various small stalls, mixed with the constant sounds of hawking.

"I'm selling wontons. They have thin skin, big fillings and lots of soup. Only five cents a bowl."

Hearing the hawker's shout, Yuanchu thought that he had not had the chance to taste the delicious food down the mountain after coming down the mountain. He paused for a moment and thought of the cooked wontons.

When I smelled it, it was full of fragrance. When I took a bite, the skin was soft, fresh and tender. My mouth was watering immediately and the glutton in my heart was aroused.

"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons."

The waiter immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

After a while, the waiter brought the wontons to the table. "Sir, your wontons, please enjoy."

Yuanchu picked up a wonton with chopsticks, blew on it to his mouth, and then gently bit off a small piece. The deliciousness of the wonton filling and the smoothness of the wonton skin combined together was truly wonderful.

Every bite of wonton is a carnival for your taste buds. The filling is sweet, the soup is light, and it is paired with fresh tofu and green vegetables. The wonderful taste will make you linger.

"Hmm, delicious." When I closed my eyes, it felt like my body was very light, as if I was flying in the clouds.

As a modern person who loves spicy food, Yuanchu thought that it would be even more delicious if it were served with chili sauce.
