There were many factions of demon hunters in the mortal world. They traveled around the rivers and lakes, subduing demons whenever they encountered them and thus greatly improving their cultivation.
Many demon hunters belonged to sects. They would be rewarded for capturing demons, either by the government or by local tycoons.
But the demon hunters who had come this time, following a lead, were after a white - bone demon on the run.
When Yang Xue heard this from Hua'er, she locked Yue Bai in the room, pasted invisibility talismans on the doors and windows to conceal their demonic aura.
Yue Bai was lying on the bed, barely breathing. Yang Xue gently placed her fingers on Yue Bai's wrist and found that her pulse was erratic and her breath was out of control. If they waited any longer, Yue Bai would surely be in danger.
Xiao Shan was hugging Yue Bai's arm and crying loudly. Yang Xue had no choice but to hand her over to the assistant in the inn to take care of.
She decided to infuse spiritual energy into Yue Bai to stabilize her breath.
Recently, she had read many secret manuals on various topics and had a bit of knowledge about healing. So she had to step up despite her lack of confidence.
"Yue Bai, the situation is urgent. I'll heal you. Hold on tight!" If she hadn't seen Yue Bai's face getting paler and paler, she wouldn't have taken such a risk.
Normally, Yue Bai was about the same age as the black leopard, over a thousand years old, and should have had relatively high cultivation. Even if she had gone astray in her cultivation, it shouldn't have been so difficult to deal with without reaching the tribulation - crossing realm.
After infusing spiritual energy, Yang Xue found that Yue Bai's body was severely damaged. She had been seriously injured before, and her cultivation was far lower than expected.
Her meridians were damaged and the damage was about to spread to her heart. It had to be controlled quickly.
But Yang Xue didn't have much experience in this regard and didn't know how to treat Yue Bai for a moment.
Helpless, she took out the book "Snow" from her Qiankun Bag, used her spiritual power, and asked how to treat the deviation in cultivation...
Unexpectedly, the book in her hand suddenly flew into the air, emitting a dazzling golden light that shone on Yue Bai.
Visibly, Yue Bai's damaged meridians began to heal. Yang Xue quickly infused more spiritual energy and used the healing spell all at once to stabilize the out - of - control breath in her body and repair the damaged meridians and organs.
Yang Xue was extremely excited. She stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes. What a wonderful treasure this was!
She had just tried it on a whim without much hope, but unexpectedly discovered the powerful repairing ability of the celestial book.
"I didn't expect this celestial book to be so amazing. It's even more useful than the great immortals. I'm sure the golden elixir the black leopard mentioned is nothing compared to this." She quickly put the celestial book back into her Qiankun Bag and protected it closely.
She must study it carefully tonight. With the guidance of the celestial book, maybe she could become a god in one step!
She would never show off this precious treasure again, lest it bring disaster to herself.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Yue Bai recovered. Her face gradually turned rosy.
"Cough... "
Just as Yang Xue was sighing, Yue Bai slowly opened her eyes.
"You're awake?" Yang Xue pretended to be calm and asked, "How did you go astray in your cultivation? Xiao Shan was really scared and kept crying. It's okay now. I'll go and carry her up. That child is already very dependent on you. I'm relieved to leave her in your care."
Yue Bai was still a bit dazed. She slowly circulated her spiritual energy and was surprised to find that she had completely recovered.
"What exactly happened?" She was very confused. She clearly had gone astray in her cultivation, so how could she be fine so soon? "How did I get better?"
"Maybe it's just good luck," she bit her finger and pretended to be surprised as she shouted, "I was almost scared to death just now. The black leopard said you had gone astray in your cultivation and he couldn't do anything about it, so he went to look for the golden elixir. I saw your face getting worse and worse, so I infused a bit of spiritual energy. I didn't expect that I would accidentally save you."
"You saved me?" Yue Bai rubbed her temples and slowly got out of bed. She didn't quite believe Yang Xue's words. "Did you give me some miraculous elixir?"
Yang Xue's eyes lit up and she came up with an idea. "Yes! I once met an old man selling medicine on the street. He boasted that his pills could cure all diseases. I had no other choice just now, so I gave you the last pill I had been keeping."
Yue Bai was half - believing and half - doubting. "The old man must be a hermit expert. The pill must be very expensive. I'll pay you for it."
"I'm not short of money. It's just a piece of cake. Don't take it to heart." Although she trusted Yue Bai quite a bit, she still thought it better to keep a low profile because of her special identity.
"Cough... " Yue Bai suddenly sat on the ground. "I've been bound by a contract?"
"What do you mean?" Seeing her look as if she had seen a ghost, Yang Xue couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yue Bai grabbed Yang Xue and shook her violently, almost roaring as she questioned, "How could you form a spiritual contract with me! You're just an unknown little demon, only five hundred years old. How can you be worthy of being my master!"
Yang Xue was also very confused. She didn't know how this had happened. It was all just a coincidence.
Moreover, she didn't want to form a contract with this ill - tempered fox like Yue Bai.
"Ah!!!" Yue Bai went crazy!
When Xuan You came back, he rushed into the room in a hurry with the golden elixir in his hand, only to see a strange scene...
Yang Xue was being pressed on the bed by Yue Bai, who was scolding her and asking her to cancel the contract.
After careful questioning, Xuan You learned what had happened.
His eyes lingered on Yang Xue with a strange look. "You saved her?"
"Yeah, by coincidence." She had only told Sun Wukong and the God of Wealth about her current cultivation. The black leopard surely wouldn't think that a little demon like her had such an ability.
"Where did you buy the pill from the old man?" His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate, making Yang Xue feel uncomfortable.
"Yeah." Yang Xue nodded, looking calm.
The black leopard was not easy to deceive. He didn't believe that there could be such a good thing in the world.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he carried Yue Bai to the bed and forced a few pills into her mouth.
Yue Bai struggled desperately and blushed rarely.
"You two talk. I won't bother you." If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would get a sty in her eye.
These thousand - year - old demons really knew how to play. They were different from her, a time - traveling mortal.
The black leopard, an experienced thousand - year - old demon who had seen many beautiful women, had a way of coaxing girls that was hard to look at directly.
Yang Xue's face burned as she walked out of the room. The image of the black leopard feeding the pill with his mouth and pressing Yue Bai on the bed kept echoing in her mind, making her heart beat faster. She even thought about when she could do this to the Great Sage...
Bah, bah, bah!
From now on, she must never flirt with the Great Sage again. The journey to the west for scriptures would still take several years. She couldn't harm him for the time being.
"Make way!" Just as Yang Xue was standing in a daze at the stairs on the second floor, a group of men in strange clothes rushed up!
"What are you doing?" Yang Xue raised her hand to block them. "Where did you barbarians come from? Rushing around without any rules."
"Rules?" The bearded man in the lead had a ruddy complexion and a murderous look. He coldly shouted, "There's demonic aura here. Get out of the way quickly!"
An alarm bell went off in Yang Xue's mind. It seemed that these people were quite capable. Clearly, they had pasted the talismans, but they still had been found.
Moreover, she almost forgot that she was a demon now!
