In the demon world, the strong were respected. On the way to the capital, Bai You treated Chu Xiang and Bai Yi as seniors. Naturally, he had to take good care of them. Chu Xiang was obviously stronger than Bai Yi, so Bai You found Chu Xiang first and asked if there was anything he needed him to do.
Chu Xiang was about to refuse when she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Bai You carefully. Li Yufeng tilted his head and said, "What are you looking at? I'm better looking than him. "
Bai You silently took two steps back. As a snake demon, he was still a little scared when facing a powerful demon hunter.
Chu Xiang pushed Li Yufeng away and said, "Don't make trouble. Catch a pheasant and roast it." She looked at Bai You and smiled, "What about you? I have something to tell you. My sister needs someone to take care of her. If you can take good care of her, I will give you the best quality pills. How about it?"
The best quality pills could only be found by chance. Even if you had good medicinal materials, you might not be able to find a good alchemist. Bai You was good at medicine, but he couldn't refine the best quality pills. He was naturally happy and bowed, "Thank you, senior. I will do my best."
Chu Xiang had Li Yufeng to take care of her. She didn't need Bai You to intervene. Bai You saw this and was a little confused. Why did Bai Yi need him to take care of her? Weren't all demons free? Soon, he knew why Chu Xiang gave him such a task.
Bai Yi needed him to take care of too many things. For example, when he found Zhuang Liushi reprimanding Bai Yi behind everyone's back, he pretended to inadvertently go around and looked at Zhuang Liushi with slight surprise. Zhuang Liushi didn't want the "fairy doctor" to think she was rude and unreasonable, so she immediately smiled.
After a few times, Zhuang Liushi didn't dare to embarrass Bai Yi in front of or behind people. She was afraid that the "fairy doctor" would see her and look down on her and her son. This was a big figure she couldn't afford to offend.
For example, when eating, Bai Yi, a "weak woman", couldn't often catch wild animals. The Zhuang mother and son couldn't often accept gifts from Li Yufeng. At this time, Bai Yi would roast a few sweet potatoes and mix them with wild vegetables as a meal.
When Bai You saw them, he called Li Yufeng and Zhuang Yulang to go hunting together. They often hunted enough wild hares or pheasants. They even hunted wild boars. As soon as he suggested that the three men go to the river to clean up the wild animals, Zhuang Yulang naturally couldn't refuse. So in the end, they only brought back processed meat. All Bai Yi needs is a roast.
Bai You praised Zhuang Liushi's good roasting, and Zhuang Liushi was overjoyed. She took the initiative to take over the roasting of the meat and sweet potatoes. Bai Yi intervened. She thought that Bai Yi was stealing the credit, so she didn't let Bai Yi get involved.
With Bai You, Bai Yi's days were obviously better. She suddenly felt much more relaxed. This made her very absent-minded. Had she been so tired before?
Comparisons were always too direct, and a strong contrast made it easier for people to see the problem. But now, an ordinary person, a Monster Hunter, and a Monster Hunter were all together. When Bai Yi looked at them, she felt as though the radiance around Zhuang Yulang had dimmed. She had to admit that he was not as good as she had imagined. And she didn't know why, but ever since Bai You told his fortune, he was no longer so sweet to her. He seemed to be avoiding her.
Bai Yi liked to be straightforward and couldn't stand guessing. When Zhuang Liushi was not around, she went to ask, "Brother Zhuang, have you not been feeling well these days?"
Zhuang Yulang lowered his eyes and half turned his body. "No, thank you for your concern, Miss Bai."
Bai Yi was a little unhappy. "Brother Zhuang, do you need to be so polite with me? What's wrong with you these days? Why are you avoiding me? Why are you suddenly hot and cold towards me? "
Zhuang Yulang hurriedly looked around and whispered, "Miss Bai, the walls have ears. Don't ruin your reputation. Don't think too much. I just want to focus on the imperial exam. Don't cause trouble. "
Bai Yi was somewhat convinced, but also somewhat unconvinced. "You feel inconvenient because there are others around?"
"Of course. I'll go back first. Before our status is confirmed, we shouldn't let others misunderstand. Otherwise, bad words will spread." Zhuang Yulang's heart was in a mess. He casually said a few words and went back.
Bai You walked out from behind the tree and asked Bai Yi in confusion, "Senior, what are you worried about?"
Bai Yi frowned and sighed. "I don't know. It's like I'm worried about gains and losses. I can't be happy. Maybe it's because Brother Zhuang and I can't be together in a legitimate way. "
Bai You wondered, "Why can't it be legitimate? As long as he is willing, and his mother agrees, you can get engaged first. Even if you want to get married after the exam, you can get engaged first. "
"Engaged?" It was the first time Bai Yi knew about this process. Gao Xin said, "Yes, we can get engaged first. But his mother doesn't like me. Will she object? Does the engagement have to be approved by the parents? "
"Yes, the so-called parents' order and the matchmaker's words are indispensable." Bai You thoughtfully said, "I can help you with this."
"How?" Bai Yi couldn't think of any way. She felt that Bai You knew a lot. Her eyes were full of expectations.
Bai You smiled. "Have you forgotten what I do? Since Zhuang Liushi believes in my words, I can naturally let her agree to let you marry into the family. "
A fortune-teller was a living immortal in the eyes of the people. The living immortal Bai Yi was Zhuang Yulang's good match, so Zhuang Liushi naturally believed it. But she still couldn't understand. "Immortal doctor, you, Bai Yi, and my son are a match? How, how is this possible? She is an orphan with no relatives or friends. How, how can she help Yulang? "
Bai You calmly said, "The divination shows that Miss Bai brings fortune to her husband, and she brings fortune to you and your son. If Young Master Zhuang and Miss Bai get married, the Zhuang family will be rich and auspicious in the future. "
"Really?" Zhuang Liushi looked at Bai Yi in disbelief. Her heart was full of confusion. This orphan girl brings fortune to her husband? Then she was wrong to want to drive her away?
Zhuang Yulang was really relieved. His complicated heart calmed down, and he showed a sincere smile. He finally didn't have to be in a dilemma. It turned out that his virtuous wife was Bai Yi. In this way, he could get what he wanted. He didn't even have the strength to convince his mother.
Zhuang Yulang smiled at Zhuang Liushi and said, "Mother, Miss Bai is kind. If you agree, after we arrive in the capital, your son wants to be engaged to her. After I finish high school, we will have a wedding. What do you think?"
Zhuang Liushi looked at him blankly, and then looked at Bai You. "Immortal doctor, she really brings fortune to my husband? She can make my son the prime minister? Really? "
"Exactly." Bai You nodded affirmatively. He didn't lie. With Bai Yi's ability, if she wholeheartedly assisted Zhuang Yulang, it would not be difficult for him to become the prime minister, not to mention they would help. He didn't feel guilty at all.
Zhuang Yulang couldn't wait to ask Zhuang Liushi, "Mother, do you agree?"
Zhuang Liushi nodded gently, "Of course I agree, of course I agree." Her mind was blank. She regarded Bai Yi as a vixen who led her son astray. She was full of rejection. But now, this vixen was her son's benefactor. Of course, she had to accept it. She couldn't have other thoughts.
Zhuang Yulang had no scruples. He ran to Bai Yi and said with a happy smile, "Miss Bai, my mother finally agreed to our matter. As soon as we arrive in the capital, we will be engaged, okay?"
Bai Yi nodded and said, "You avoided arousing suspicion before because your mother didn't agree?"
"Of course."
Bai Yi smiled, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart. If it was only because of this, then why did he avoid arousing suspicion when only the two of them were together in private? Who was he trying to avoid arousing suspicion for?
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng looked like they were going on an excursion and watching a play. Li Yufeng quietly asked Chu Xiang, "Is this okay?"
"It's very good. How can you mature without tossing around? It's just an engagement. You haven't married yet. After you get married, you can divorce. Don't have children. "
Li Yufeng looked at her and said, "You seem to care more about having children?"
"Of course, the fetters of blood, the fetters brought to this world after ten months of pregnancy. It's something that can't be cut off forever. You can't have this fetters. Otherwise, how can you be happy once you separate?" Chu Xiang had never given birth to a child. Because of this, she could transmigrate forever, but her child couldn't. She didn't want that kind of separation, so she simply didn't experience any maternal love. Now that she was free and unrestrained, how good was that? This was the life she wanted.
A few days later, they entered the capital. They first scattered to find a house. Of course, the Zhuang Family's mother and son ran into a wall everywhere. The rent of a house in the capital was expensive. It was too difficult to live in a comfortable place. If they went to a big courtyard, how could they study quietly?
Just when they were worried, Chu Xiang went shopping and "ran into" Bai Yi. When she heard that they hadn't found a place to live, she immediately rented a courtyard. If they wanted, they could rent it together, so the rent was not expensive.
Chu Xiang came forward to find Bai Yi, which was exactly what she said about the Zhuang Family. Zhuang Liushi couldn't help but believe it. Thinking that Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng's clothes were very high-end, she tried her best to persuade Zhuang Yulang to cooperate with them.
Zhuang Yulang had some pride and was not willing to be helped easily, but his mother and Bai Yi both wanted to rent a house together, so he had to agree. Fortunately, Li Yufeng always made him feel very comfortable when he got along with him. There was no discomfort.
In order to live in line with his identity, Bai You didn't rent a house with them, but he bought a house not far from them. He didn't come out on weekdays, so Zhuang Liushi didn't know he was nearby.
After everyone settled down, Zhuang Liushi first mentioned the engagement, which made Bai Yi very surprised. She privately said to Chu Xiang: "If I knew that fortune-telling could get her engaged, I would have gotten a fortune-teller and her a long time ago."
Chu Xiang laughed and said: "She doesn't believe in fortune-telling. She believes in the 'Immortal Doctor', who has been famous for three years. You should really thank Bai You. He has no relatives or friends, but he has helped you a lot. Aren't you the most grateful? "
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go and thank him and treat him to delicious food!" Bai Yi happily ran out to hunt. She had been in the Zhuang Family for so long. In order to let Zhuang Yulang eat well, her cooking skills improved rapidly. The dishes she made were very delicious. She hunted two rabbits and took them to Bai You's house. She personally made a sumptuous meal for Bai You.
Bai You smiled: "Senior, you don't have to do this. That day in the bamboo forest, you helped me out. Some things are not worth mentioning."
"No matter what, you helped me, so I have to thank you. Eat quickly and try the taste. It's much better than those roasted on the road. "Bai Yi was in a good mood. She was happy to see everything. The dishes she made were better than usual.
Bai You tasted it and nodded: "It's really delicious. Thank you, senior."
Bai Yi waved her hand, "Don't call me senior. Xiang 'er and I have cultivated for a few hundred years more than you. You can just call us by our names. We will call you by your name. It's more comfortable this way. "
"Okay, Bai Yi, do you want to stay for dinner?"
"No, Brother Zhuang and his mother will be back soon. I'll go back and cook for them."
Bai You wanted to say something but stopped. He hesitated for a moment and stood up. Bai Yi saw this and said: "What do you want? What are you hesitating for? "
Bai You hesitated again and again and said: "I've said before that fate will change. You are a human and a demon. There are many variables. You may not really have a happy life. I've been in the human world for many years. Before I did good in the bamboo forest, I went to many other places and saw many people and things. There is a saying among the people, 'The most unfaithful person is a scholar.' I don't know if you've heard it. Your marriage was facilitated by me. If something happens in the future … "
"Bah, bah, bah, what can happen! Don't say such unlucky words. "Bai Yi hurriedly interrupted him," Why are you and Xiang 'er afraid that he will be unfaithful? "
"Was Chu Xiang also like this? That's it. I don't want anything more. I just hope that you are more cautious. People's hearts are unpredictable, especially after they have changed from poverty to wealth. Don't be deceived. "
Bai Yi didn't like to hear these words, but Bai You kindly reminded her. She nodded and then quickly left Bai You's house. When she went back to cook, these words came out again and kept circling in her mind. She couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.
She had a rebellious thought. Why didn't everyone think highly of them? Did she and her benefactor not have a good life? But then her rational side came out again. They obviously knew more than her and gave her advice for her own good. As the saying goes, the onlookers see more clearly than the players involved. Could it be that they were really a pair that was not favored? If one day Zhuang Yulang knew that she was a demon, would there be a huge conflict between them? If Zhuang Yulang knew that she was a demon, would he still be willing to have children with her? What would happen to their children? Would they be rejected by both the human and demon world?
Bai Yi had never thought about this before. She began to think about it now. She couldn't sleep at night. Because no matter what the situation was, once the fact that she was a demon was exposed, it was unlikely that there would be a good result. She also thought of that big monk. He didn't distinguish between right and wrong. He didn't listen to other people's explanations. He stubbornly convicted Bai You and then attacked her. If Zhuang Yulang attacked her like this … She felt pain just thinking about it.
Zhuang Liushi bought the things for the engagement very quickly. Bai Yi was now a lucky doll for her. She couldn't wait to marry her home as soon as possible. Anyway, they didn't have much money. Everything was simple. Bai Yi didn't have any objections. She just took it as a big bargain and simply arranged a marriage for the two of them.
Chu Xiang dressed Bai Yi up carefully that day. In front of the dressing table, before going out, she held Chu Xiang's hand tightly. She looked at her in the mirror and nervously said: "Xiang 'er, am I really going to be engaged to Zhuang dage?"
Chu Xiang smiled and looked down at her. She helped her tidy up her hairpin. "Really, don't be afraid. It's just an engagement. We haven't married yet. We're all here. What are you afraid of? "
Bai Yi nodded. "Yes, what am I afraid of? I shouldn't be afraid of anything. "
Chu Xiang bent down and looked at her. "It doesn't matter if you're afraid. If you know how to be afraid, you know how to protect yourself. If you know how to think, you won't ignore it. Don't worry. It doesn't matter what happens. "
Bai Yi suddenly felt that the most fortunate thing for her was not that Zhuang Yulang saved her life, but that she had Chu Xiang as her protector.
Chu Xiang raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes. She joked: "You're not going to get on the sedan. Why are you thinking so much? Go quickly. Your benefactor will think that you're going back on your word. "
"I'm not going back on my word." Bai Yi smiled through her tears. She didn't know why she was crying. She was very hesitant. She didn't know if she should take this step. This was clearly what she had been looking forward to. It was something she had been very happy about. But with Chu Xiang by her side, she held Chu Xiang's hand. All the hesitation and uneasiness dissipated. There was nothing to be afraid of. Chu Xiang had always been by her side. At most, she would be sad like those seniors. There was nothing to talk about.
Bai Yi and Zhuang Yulang exchanged invitations under the guidance of the matchmaker and successfully got engaged. From now on, Bai Yi was Zhuang Yulang's wife. She had a name and there was no need to worry about gossip. Although she never cared about those things, at this moment, she felt a little affirmed and accepted by the Zhuang Family.
Bai You stood behind Chu Xiang and transmitted her voice: [I advised her, but she cares about Zhuang Yulang very much. She is still willing to get engaged with Zhuang Yulang.]
[En, it doesn't matter.] Chu Xiang smiled faintly and looked at the pair of newlyweds who were smiling at each other.
Li Yufeng and Bai You both understood what Chu Xiang meant by "it doesn't matter." Bai Yi's thoughts had changed. But how could she know if there was a possibility of happiness without trying? She could try as much as she wanted. The three of them were still here. Naturally, there would not be any unacceptable results.
Li Yufeng said softly, "Fortunately, Bai Yi is not a man. Otherwise, I would not be able to keep my position."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "You are even jealous of my sister. Why don't you just open a shop and sell vinegar?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to accompany you. If I open a shop, who will play with you? I heard that the vegetarian food in the temple in the west is very delicious. Let's go try it? "
"Okay."
Bai You silently took a step back. She was very tactful and did not participate. They didn't know what would happen in the future. She hoped that everything would be fine.
