After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 437 Go to your house

"To stop killing by killing?"

When Lin Chuan heard the word "bleeding", this was the only solution he could think of.

"That's right," Bai Zhi said solemnly, "There is a rule that the new Demon King and I have jointly established: if the demons commit crimes, they will be dealt with by humans; if humans commit crimes, they will be dealt with by the demons."

She paused, looking off into the distance, and continued, "After nearly three times the original population of Qingyang Nation, both humans and demons, perished, those who remained here truly embraced the path of peaceful coexistence."

"..."

Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Just at this moment, a petite figure rushed towards Lin Chuan like an arrow.

"Son!"

A glint of surprise flashed in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes. Ever since she learned from her spy that Lin Chuan had arrived in Qingyang Country, she had not wasted a moment and had rushed here without stopping. Now she finally saw the person she had been thinking about, and her cry was filled with excitement.

"Xiaoxiao, be good. You've become cute again."

Lin Chuan raised his hand and gently rubbed Ye Xiaoxiao's head, his movements were intimate and natural.

"Well, as long as you like it, sir."

Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

Bai Zhi stood quietly by the side, her eyes fixed on Ye Xiaoxiao, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if thinking about something.

"Xiaoxiao is really amazing. She actually thought of building a city like this."

Jiang Wanying moved lightly with lotus steps and came in front of Ye Xiaoxiao. Her eyes were full of admiration and she praised softly.

"No... no, I just want to make the conflict between humans and demons stop and fight each other. Sister Bai came up with the idea."

Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly, with a hint of shyness and sincerity in her eyes, and spoke softly.

"Xiaoxiao is too modest." Bai Zhi raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly.

"My lord and the two sisters must be tired. Why don't you go to the Demon King's Palace and rest for a while?"

He looked at Lin Chuan, Jiang Wanying and Bai Zhi with concern and spoke softly.

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a gentle smile on his face. He glanced around the city and said, "Now that I'm here, I want to take a look around the city. Oh, by the way, I remember when I first met Xiaoxiao, didn't Xiaoxiao invite me to your house? Is it okay to go now?"

"..."

Ye Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, she nodded gently, "If you don't mind, it's fine."

"Baizhi and I will continue to stroll around here. Ah Chuan can go with Xiaoxiao by himself. We will meet up at the Demon Emperor Palace later."

Without waiting for Lin Chuan and Ye Xiaoxiao to react, Jiang Wanying grabbed Bai Zhi's arm and walked away with light steps. In the blink of an eye, she blended into the bustling crowd.

"..."

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment as he watched Jiang Wanying and Bai Zhi walking away.

After a moment, Lin Chuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ye Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao was approaching his hand nervously, with her fair fingers slightly curled up, as if she wanted to hold it but didn't dare.

"Why are you standing there? Don't you want to take me with you?"

Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to react, he took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.

"No...no..."

Ye Xiaoxiao's hand was held tightly by Lin Chuan. The warmth from his palm made her nervous and relieved. She didn't know what to do for a moment and could only respond stutteringly.

"Let's go then."

Lin Chuan gently shook the hand he was holding, signaling Ye Xiaoxiao to lead the way.

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then took a step forward.

……

"Crench."

Ye Xiaoxiao slowly pushed open the dilapidated door, and the door hinges made a harsh sound.

As you enter the yard, you will see a small mound standing quietly in the yard, with a simple wooden tablet next to it.

The whole house looked dilapidated, but it was tidy everywhere, obviously showing signs of being cleaned regularly.

Right in front of the wooden tablet, in addition to a few remaining candles and incense ashes, there is also a strange-looking animal skull.

"This is my former home. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir."

Ye Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of bitterness and inferiority that was hard to conceal, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.

She didn't dare look at Lin Chuan's expression, for fear of seeing disgust or pity in his eyes.

A breeze blew by, ruffling the hair by her ears, making her look even thinner.

"..."

Lin Chuan led Ye Xiaoxiao to the mound, looked solemn, bowed respectfully to it, and slowly said:

"My dear Lin Chuan, although I have never met my aunt, I know from Xiaoxiao that you are definitely a gentle and kind person. Xiaoxiao is now very powerful, the Demon King of the entire demon race..."

As he was speaking, he keenly noticed that the hand he was holding was trembling slightly. He paused and turned to look. He saw Ye Xiaoxiao with her head lowered, her black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and her expression was completely unclear.

Lin Chuan's heart tightened, and he gently squeezed her hand, silently conveying comfort. For a moment, the only sound between the two was the gentle sound of the breeze.

After a moment, Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head, took a deep breath, and with a tear-stained yet gentle smile on her face, she said softly, "Mother, the man next to you is my fiancé. Isn't he handsome? Don't worry, mother, he treats me very well. Meeting him and mother is the luckiest thing in my life."

"..."

Lin Chuan opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

……

Within the city.

"She likes her husband, can't you see that?"

Bai Zhi looked at Jiang Wanying who was walking slowly in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"I can see a little bit."

Jiang Wanying tilted her head slightly, looking past Bai Zhi at the distant scenery, her tone indifferent.

"So, you agree to let other people get close to your husband?"

Bai Zhi's lips curled slightly, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, and she stared at Jiang Wanying's face, as if trying to find out her true thoughts from her expression.

"If Ah Chuan is happy, I will be happy too."

Jiang Wanying said softly, her eyes showing tenderness and helplessness.

"It seems that chatting with you last time did have some effect."

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile at the corner of her lips showed a little more satisfaction.

"Do you dare to say that what you said to me before was not selfish?"

Jiang Wanying raised her eyes slightly, her gaze calm but with a hint of sharpness, and looked straight at Bai Zhi.

"Isn't it obvious? Now only Xu Hanyi wants to monopolize her husband, but how long can she do so?" Bai Zhi sneered softly.

"Even if Master is willing to share Achuan, you, including the others around Achuan, still can't snatch him away from Master and me."

Jiang Wanying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a hint of pride flashing in them.

"Really? Then we'll just have to wait and see."

……

In a dilapidated old house.

After Ye Xiaoxiao calmed down for a while, Lin Chuan took out a wooden box from the storage space and said, "This is what you traded to me. I heard you say that it contained your brother's heart."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, her body shook violently, and her eyes, which had originally calmed down a little, were disturbed again.

"Can I bury you next to your mother?"

Lin Chuan's voice was soft and gentle. He carefully observed Ye Xiaoxiao's reaction, his eyes full of concern.

"Ah."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, then lowered her head and slowly walked to the pile of dirt. She squatted down, stretched out her hand without hesitation, and began to dig the soil vigorously. Even when the sharp stones cut her fingers and oozed blood, she was completely unaware. Seeing this, Lin Chuan's heart tightened and he hurried over to help.

"My brother had the same disease as my mother, but he didn't want me to take care of him and my mother alone, so he ran away to earn money. When he came back, he was left at the door covered in blood, dying. Before he left, he told me that the half-demon's heart could be exchanged for blood-stained grass at the pharmacy, and asked me to remove his heart immediately after his death."

Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, his hands moving non-stop. After a while, a small pit just big enough to accommodate the wooden box was dug out by the two of them.

"It's okay, you've done great."

Lin Chuan's voice was soft and full of comfort as he gently buried the wooden box inside.

"Son..."

A broken sob escaped from Ye Xiaoxiao's throat, and all the suppressed emotions burst out like a flood. She could no longer hold it back, and she threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms trembling.
