Chapter 122 – A Martial Demon and a La.s.s

After going through the east gate of Martial Demon Town and walking for a short distance, a vast open land entered Xue Qilin's eyes.

Several houses are scattered on this land.

The fields const.i.tuting this land are filled with rice ears and are arranged quite neatly. In the fields, you can see water channel built in order to dispatch the irrigation water back and forth. At the source of the water channels – a brook that extends from Martial Demon Realm, there is a waterwheel rotating about.

This agricultural land probably serves to satisfy Martial Demon Town's basic necessities. No matter where you go, food is always a basic human necessity.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xue Qilin has seen the fields of this world.

“Let's go for a stroll?”

“Um… okay…”

The voice sounds listless. Phecda seems sleepy.

While walking along a path between the fields, the sound of stepping on sand raises into the air, and the nearby brook plays the well-known symphony “flowing water”, which are accompanied by the smell of rice mixed with the smell of cow dung.

The rice ears are swaying in the wind, the sky is tall and clear.

Immersed in the embrace of the nice sunny weather, Xue Qilin couldn't help stretching herself and yawning.

She would love to find a place to take a nap! However, if she does this, it will surely invite reprimands from the landowner for crus.h.i.+ng the crops.

Several farmers working in the fields lifted their heads and looked at her. The surprised expressions on their faces appear to ask “where did this girl come from?”

Xue Qilin gave them a sweet smile, and then continued on her way.

The already drowsy Phecda almost fell off Xue Qilin's head due to not securing herself firmly.

“Yo yo yo, I don't care if you fall!”

“… boo, I'm sleepy.”

“If you change back to the sword form, I will carry you!”

Anyway, the weight is the same. Xue Qilin mused.

“Don't want to. Won't I be unable to move?”

“What do you need to move for when sleeping…”

“In short, I don't want to!”

Xue Qilin spread her arms to express her helplessness.

“Boo…”

Insufferable! Phecda groaned, fuming.

Her gaze inadvertently moved to the slight opening in Xue Qilin's collar. Phecda saw two faintly discernible bulges, and in idea immediately popped up in her mind.

Phecda climbed down from the top of the la.s.s's head, landed on her shoulder, and then drilled into her clothing from the collar.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

The furry thing moved around her chest area, causing Xue Qilin's face to flush.

After apparently finding the most comfortable position, the head of the black cat popped out of the collar

“I'm going to sleep!”

Leaning her head on Xue Qilin's collarbone, Phecda closed her eyes.

“Get out of there!”

“I don't want to!”

Xue Qilin grabbed the black cat by the nape and tried to pull it out, but the other side grabbed the inside of her dress with its hind paws, not coming out.

During this standoff, the two unwittingly came to a corner of the fields.

This is already the edge of Martial Demon Realm.

The deep forest is right in front of them.

So big! Xue Qilin looked up at the tall trees and sighed emotionally. Whether you look left or right, you cannot see the end of the forest. It seems as if there is only this forest in the world.

“… Okay, I won!”

There was a sudden burst of cheers.

Hmm? Xue Qilin turned her head to look and saw two pet.i.te figures squatting beside a large rock.

It is a pair of children, a lad and a la.s.s, who look very young, maybe less than 10 years old.

When she saw their faces clearly, Xue Qilin was dumbfounded.

The la.s.s is just a plain human girl.

As for the lad…

He has a pair of canine ears on top of his head and a hairy tail extending from a hole in his pants at the waist.

Obviously he is a martial demon, an irregular martial demon to boot. If he has cultivated his human form, he would not be unable to sense Xue Qilin's presence.

Whether it is the lad or the la.s.s, they don't have the ability to surprise Xue Qilin that much. But the two appearing to get along very well, talking and laughing together, it is another matter. After all, since the black market auction, Xue Qilin believes that the harmonious coexistence between martial demons and humans is very rare.

“I lost again…”

The martial demon lad said sullenly. In contrast, the la.s.s appears elated.

There is a circle delimited with stones on the ground between the two, and there are a few small, finger-sized stones in the circle.

It should be a game similar to playing with marbles, and the lad seems to have lost to the la.s.s.

Curious, Xue Qilin walked over.

“What are you playing?”

Frightened by the sudden question, the two jerked as if caught doing a prank.

The two stiffened their bodies, not moving for a while.

“Did I scare you? I don't mean you any harm.”

After finally drumming up her courage, the la.s.s turned her head stiffly and stared at Xue Qilin alertly.

What's wrong? Xue Qilin tilted her head. Do they think they have met an evildoer?

“Hey, they seem to be afraid of you!”

“That so? Maybe they're afraid of you.”

Phecda has an expression of astonishment on her face. Xue Qilin murmured in a low voice.

“Were you called by the villagers?”

“What?”

Xue Qilin tilted her head.

“Nothing…”
