The years I was in the human world

"Right." Xiao Fengzhuo smiled, leaned towards the cell's railing, stared at the Sheqing Ghost outside the cell, and suddenly said, "Master, have we met before?"

She Qinggui was stunned. He never expected that Xiao Fengzhuo would dare to get close to the evil ghost in such an environment. He originally just had a faint smile on his face, but now he suddenly lowered his head and laughed. After laughing enough, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Fengzhuo, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

She Qinggui was really amused, and his attitude towards Xiao Fengzhuo was much better than towards others. He said, "If I had seen such a wonderful girl, I would definitely have an impression of her, but you and I have never met before, so don't use this excuse to get close to me."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengzhuo stretched out his hand from the iron railing in a serious manner, held up She Qinggui's face and looked at it carefully, touching it while looking at it, just like a female hooligan who was attracted by beauty, and said seriously: "No, I must have seen you."

The monks who were secretly observing him from behind naturally looked at him in shock, thinking that this woman was truly so bold that she even dared to touch evil spirits. At the same time, they were wondering which sect's disciple was so reckless.

She Qinggui was stunned by him at first, and then his face became visibly ugly. He slapped Xiao Fengzhuo's hand away and said with a fake smile: "Miss, if you can't control your hands, I will cut them off for you."

Xiao Fengzhuo felt it was quite boring and withdrew his hand. There was no fear on his face. He just said helplessly: "Just look at your face. Why are you so alert?"

That tone and demeanor, as if the wrong person had become the Shocking Green Ghost, the other party was naturally annoyed by him and laughed, and said to the little ghost next to him: "Open the cell door."

He pointed at Xiao Fengzhuo again and said, "Bring her out."

After he finished speaking, the monks looked at him with sympathy, worry, or gloating, but they all thought that She Qinggui was planning to deal with him like the previous monk.

The prisoners in other cells naturally thought so too and whistled. After all, if She Qing Gui wanted to cook Xiao Fengzhuo, he would have to take off all his clothes. Xiao Fengzhuo was still a woman now, and that face and body were enough to make those lustful ghosts in the prison salivate.

Xiao Fengzhuo himself did not have this awareness. He was brought out of the cell by the little ghost and came in front of She Qinggui. He raised his hands that were bound by iron chains and said as a matter of course: "Can you untie them? They are very heavy."

The Sheqing Ghost looked at him with a complicated expression, but said nothing. He turned to the little ghost and said, "Untie her."

This dumbfounded the monks and prisoners who were waiting to see him being dragged away like a beast. They all wondered if this Sheqing Gui also cared about the appearance when killing people, otherwise why would he be so tolerant of Xiao Fengzhuo. But then again, the appearance of the monk who was skinned alive was not that ugly.

The suspicions of the crowd did not disturb the two parties at all. With a slight sound, the iron chains that bound Xiao Fengzhuo's hands fell to the ground. While moving his wrists, he said to She Qinggui, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." She Qinggui replied coldly, turned around and walked out of the cell, saying, "Follow me."

"Are you going to cook me?" Xiao Fengzhuo raised his leg and followed, asking casually and nonchalantly.

"You followed me even though you knew that?" She Qinggui didn't even turn his head. Before Xiao Fengzhuo could speak, he added, "Shut up. If you say anything more, I'll pull out your tongue."

Xiao Fengzhuo curled his lips and muttered, "So fierce." But his Mianmian is still adorable.

Xiao Fengzhuo followed She Qinggui out of the dungeon in a nonchalant manner, not caring where the other party was taking him. He was so carefree that the demon and the ghost passed through the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and stopped at the corner of a corridor in the backyard.

"Someone is looking for you, go ahead." She Qinggui pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard with layered curtains and drapes hanging down, and stopped on the stone steps of the corridor.

"You're not going over?" Xiao Fengzhuo didn't act immediately, but turned to ask She Qinggui. She Qinggui shook his head and said sarcastically, "I'm a very dirty ghost. I'm afraid I'll pollute the eyes of the adults over there."

"Oh." Xiao Fengzhuo responded heartlessly, pretending not to hear She Qinggui's self-deprecation. He did not ask who was waiting in the pavilion, but looked at She Qinggui seriously, "I really should have seen you before, what's your name?"

"I think the girl has seen countless people, maybe she has met us before." She Qinggui changed his tone of voice that they had never met before, glanced at Xiao Fengzhuo, snorted, turned around and went back along the way he came.

How could Xiao Fengzhuo not know that the other party was playing tricks on him? What he said was that he had met too many people and couldn't remember the ones he had met, and the ones he hadn't met seemed familiar to him. He was mocking him for being a playboy, but Xiao Fengzhuo was heartless and didn't care. He still asked, "Young Master, you haven't told me your name yet."

"You Rong." The cold voice of She Qinggui came.

Xiao Fengzhuo suddenly realized, and when he remembered, he said that he recognized him.

……

A gentle woman had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time. When she saw Xiao Fengzhuo pull aside the curtain and come in, she looked over with a pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with tears. Then she curled the corners of her lips and revealed a very gentle smile: "Brother Su."

The woman was dressed in a blue and white skirt that trailed on the ground, looking very elegant. Her hair was neatly braided in a bun that hung in front of her chest, embellished with blue and white pearls. There was an indigo flower ornament between her eyebrows, making her look like a fairy in heaven.

Such a woman should not appear in Rongcheng where evil spirits are rampant, but should be in a palace carved from white jade in the sky, forever isolated from the human world.

"Ke Rou?" The moment he saw the woman, Xiao Fengzhuo frowned, put down the curtain in his hand, and sat down in front of the woman, "What are you doing here?"

Ke Rou smiled, pushed the plate of cakes in front of her to Xiao Fengzhuo, and answered the question irrelevantly: "Brother Su, try this osmanthus cake. I know you like it, so I asked someone to make it for you."

Xiao Fengzhuo raised an eyebrow at the sweet-looking osmanthus cake, but did not eat it. He raised his hand to push the osmanthus cake aside, looked at Ke Rou with a smile and said, "Don't give me that. I raised you all, how can I not know what you are thinking? If you have anything to say, come on."

Seeing that Xiao Fengzhuo was too lazy to play along with her, Ke Rou sighed softly and looked at Xiao Fengzhuo with worry in her eyes: "Brother Su, you should go back."

"Go back? Go back where? Didn't you say that you had to be summoned to return to the tribe? Why did you change your mind?" Xiao Fengzhuo looked at Ke Rou with amusement. Bringing the phoenix back to the tribe was just an excuse. In fact, Xiao Fengzhuo was exiled by the demon tribe, so they sent him to Zhongting, hoping that he would die outside.

Now he came to tell him that it was time to go back. What did he think of Xiao Fengzhuo as? A dog that came when he was called and left when he was waved away?

"Things are different now, Brother Su. You shouldn't get involved in the conflict between Zhongting and the evil ghosts." Ke Rou said earnestly, "Now the Ghost King and Zhongting have reached a consensus that Fenghuang must die. You can't stay with him anymore. He will drag you into it."

"It seems that the demon race is not clean either." Xiao Fengzhuo sneered, "What if I insist on meddling in other people's business?"

Ke Rou frowned her delicate eyebrows, as if she didn't expect that Xiao Fengzhuo, who always did whatever he wanted, would one day be kind-hearted and start to meddle in other people's affairs. However, she did not immediately oppose Xiao Fengzhuo, but asked: "Why?" How could Lu Zhouxue be worthy of you doing this for him?

Ke Rou's eyes revealed such a message, and Xiao Fengzhuo understood it. He said, "Of course it's because the little phoenix is ​​cute. At least much cuter than Qi Nankuo." She is well-behaved and pretty, and she can unconsciously act cute with a stern face. Xiao Fengzhuo, who has raised children in the demon clan for hundreds of years, likes this the most.

Ke Rou misunderstood Xiao Fengzhuo's meaning: "Are you still resentful of him because of that incident?"

"Which one?" Xiao Fengzhuo's mood, which had improved because he thought of Lu Zhouxue, turned worse again, and even the expression on his face became a little colder.

"You know." Ke Rou knew he was playing dumb.

"I don't know." Xiao Fengzhuo's face turned completely cold. He looked at the gentle girl in front of him, pinched his nose, and said irritably, "Ke Rou, I don't want to vent my anger on you. Go away. I won't go back with you."

"If you don't come back with me, where do you want to go?" Ke Rou asked him softly, her tone still gentle, but with the desire for control of a superior, "You don't have your demon pill anymore, and you won't make any progress in your cultivation in this life. Without the protection of the demon clan, how long do you think you can live?"

Ke Rou stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Fengzhuo's pulse point. After just a quick check, she frowned again: "Last time I saw you, you were still concentrating, but now you've fallen to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a hundred years. Do you really want to continue like this and become a waste?"

"Then why don't you ask Qi Nankuo to return the demon pill to me?" Xiao Fengzhuo allowed Ke Rou to explore the spiritual energy in his body. He was still lazy and sluggish, but the words he said made Ke Rou unable to cope with.

"The demon pill has been melted into a magic weapon and can no longer be taken out." Ke Rou said.

"That's it." Xiao Fengzhuo took his hand back, finally looked Ke Rou straight in the eye, and said slowly, "If Qi Nankuo hadn't stolen my demon pill, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I don't believe you don't know what he did back then."

Just as Ke Rou was about to defend herself, Xiao Fengzhuo raised his hand to stop her from talking and continued, "I don't care whether you were involved or not, or how much you were involved. The only thing is that you owe me, so you act like a grandson. Don't act like you're doing this for my own good. I don't like it."

Ke Rou was silent, she thought she had hidden it from Xiao Fengzhuo, but she didn't expect that he knew it well. He just didn't care. The demon pill is an external thing, and so are the children they raised.

She had no excuse, so she could only ask unwillingly when Xiao Fengzhuo was about to leave: "What's the difference between him and us?"

What exactly is there about Lu Zhouxue that deserves his special attention?

"Nothing is different." Xiao Fengzhuo shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If I have to say, it's probably that I like him more now."

Ke Rou was a little disappointed. She thought Lu Zhouxue was really different and had impressed this cynical elder of their demon clan, but she didn't expect that she was wrong. At this moment, Xiao Fengzhuo liked him, so he was special, just like Xiao Fengzhuo liked them in the past.

When Xiao Fengzhuo no longer likes them and is disappointed, he will be the same as them. It turns out that there is no difference. Ke Rou thought, it’s just because Xiao Fengzhuo likes them.

Xiao Fengzhuo, who had left, came back. Ke Rou looked up at him hopefully, thinking that he had changed his mind. However, he took the cakes on the table and smiled at her, showing his two rows of white teeth: "I haven't eaten for almost a day. I'm a little hungry."

After saying this, Xiao Fengzhuo slipped away with the cakes in his hand. Before he disappeared from view, Ke Rou sighed and finally said, "Brother Su, the Demon King is determined to take you back. This time I will do it, but next time, I may not be so gentle."

"You, take care of yourself." After Ke Rou said this, her figure flashed and disappeared.

Xiao Fengzhuo threw a piece of cake into his mouth and hid the rest in his Qiankun Ring. He thought that Mianmian would like such sweet cakes. When he liked someone, he really thought about everything. It was no wonder that Ke Rou and others couldn't forget him.

Ke Rou left, but Xiao Fengzhuo was still trapped in the City Lord's Mansion. Considering what Yin Ji said before, "The Demon King specifically asked to protect him", it can be known that Yin Ji must have tacitly agreed to Ke Rou taking her away.

But now Ke Rou has left alone, and he is still staying in the City Lord's Mansion. If he is discovered by Yin Ji, she will definitely not be as easy to talk to as before. If he is not careful, he will be in big trouble.

Xiao Fengzhuo, who was very clear about his current situation, planned to leave quietly, at least to find Lu Zhouxue first before doing anything else. Although he was only at the Nascent Soul stage now, it was still easy for him to cover up his voice and deceive the ghosts under Yin Ji's command.

Just as he was walking along the wall from the backyard to the front hall and was about to climb over the wall to escape, two people sitting opposite each other and talking in an attic caught his attention.

Mianmian, oh Mianmian, I have done my best for you, Xiao Fengzhuo sighed in his heart, knocked out the waiter who was about to go in to serve with tea, changed into the waiter's clothes, and went in himself with the tea.

But this waiter was most likely not a proper waiter, as his clothes were half-revealing, clearly men's clothing, and the design of the lower part of his skirt looked like a slit, so his thighs were exposed after every two steps. Even Xiao Fengzhuo, a playboy who was used to being a playboy, found it astonishing.

Xiao Fengzhuo walked in wearing such clothes without blushing at all. When he pushed the door open and went in, he first saw a young man in blue clothes with gentle features, his hair tied with a wooden hairpin, and a quiet person. Just by looking at him, he had the temperament of a hermit.

The person he was talking to had his back to the door. Xiao Fengzhuo only noticed his face when he walked to the table to place the tea. He was handsome, with a sharp temperament. There was a sword next to him. It was obvious that he was a sword practitioner who had achieved some success.

Xiao Fengzhuo put down the tea and knelt quietly aside, acting as a qualified decoration.

The two people who were talking didn't care at all. Perhaps there was no secret in their conversation, so they were not afraid of being overheard.

"The tea is simple, Master Gu, please make do with it." The young man in green poured a cup of tea for the swordsman opposite him, lowered his eyes, and looked at him nonchalantly, "As for what Master Gu just said, I'm sorry I can't help you."

Xiao Fengzhuo knelt with his head lowered, but he was thinking in his heart that this fellow in green was even more pretentious than him.
