At noon the next day, the clouds were light and the wind was still clear, and it was still sunny. Xiaoqi and Yu'er were picking fruits in the forest.

"I heard from Sister Xueyan that a Taoist priest came to Yao Town, which is so terrible." Yu'er put the fruit in the basket. "We can't go far during this period, just move around here."

"I also heard that it was all caused by the snake demon on the North Peak. I ran to the town to make trouble, and the people at the foot of the mountain regarded our Bihua Mountain as a thorn in their eyes!" Xiao Qi raised his head and said angrily to the little girl in light yellow clothes that she and Xiao Qi were about the same age as Xiao Qi, and were a cat demon, practicing in this Bihua Mountain.

"I really hope that Taoist priest has some skills. Come to Bihua Mountain quickly and catch the snake demon so that she will not come to us again." Yu'er said quietly.

"Yes, I feel worried every day with her in Bihua Mountain."

"Hey, it's not right! In the eyes of the Taoist priest, we are also little monsters. When we meet that Taoist priest, we may not have lived longer than the snake monster."

"Yes, yes, it's better not to expect that Taoist priest to come to Bihua Mountain."

Yu'er smiled slightly. "Fortunately, we have Sister Xueyan here, otherwise no one would be able to subdue the snake demon if Grandma Qianhu passed away."

"If that's the case, it's going to be miserable, I can't even think about it."

Two little girls, talking and talking, were having fun chatting.

"Be careful!" Xiao Qi suddenly pulled Yu'er over, and Yu'er staggered. After finally standing firm, an arrow shot at Yu'er's feet.

The two of them stood up alertly and looked around. A masked man in black jumped out of the grass beside him.

"Who are you?" Yu'er asked with courage. "What are you going to do?"

The man did not answer, and the cold blade swung over. Xiaoqi and Yu'er took a few steps back, and the blade passed by.

Yu'er stepped forward to perform magic and was easily flashed by the man in black. The man flew over and Yu'er was hit far away and fell heavily to the ground. Xiao Qi gathered the demonic power and pushed the storm of magic condensed to the man, and turned around and shouted: "Go and find Sister Xueyan."

Yu'er stumbled up and ran towards Xu Kunya. From time to time, she turned around and looked at Xiao Qi worriedly. Although this move was not very powerful, it could hold him back for a while.

After the storm, the man was unscathed and walked over step by step with a knife in his hand.

Xiao Qi was shocked and looked at the approaching man, and his face showed despair.

A sword resisted the blade that was swinging. The sword energy was fierce and easily suppressed the blade's murderous intent. It was Ye Feng, and he also rushed to find Xueyan with whip.

Ye Feng stood in front of Xiaoqi and whispered: "It's just a little demon, and he didn't do anything bad. You don't have to kill him."

"Mediate in other people's business!" The man in black said coldly, regardless of Ye Feng's persuasion. "Get out of the way, otherwise you will die together."

A smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. The man in black rushed over and started fighting with Ye Feng. Although he had lost his fairy power, how many people in this world could be Ye Feng's opponents. The sword wandered freely in his hands. It was just an ordinary sword, but the sharpness in his hands was revealed. After a few rounds, Ye Feng only tried three points, and the man in black could no longer resist it. Ye Feng had no intention of murder. The man in black knew that he would not get any advantage if he continued like this. Moreover, Xiaoqi was not the woman in the painting at first glance, so why bother him? Seeing that he showed his light skills, he rushed into the mountains and fled.

"Are you okay?" Ye Feng turned around and walked to Xiao Qi and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Xiao Qi blushed and lowered her head shyly, unable to hide her joy in her heart. "Thank you, Master, for saving me."

"You go home quickly." Ye Feng whispered.

Xiaoqi nodded and shook her head. "What if I meet bad people again? I can't beat them."

Xiao Qi's eyes rolled and pretended to be pitiful. "It was too dangerous just now, I'm afraid!"

"Then I'll give the girl a ride, where is your home?"

"My home is nearby. You send me home. I am the only one at home. If they come here, I will be bullied again."

"Then what do you want?" Ye Feng was puzzled.

"I...I want to be with you." Xiao Qi hesitated and clung to the corner of her clothes. "It's all about saving people. That person must have not gone far. What if you leave and I'm caught by them again?"

"Then you can stay with me for the time being."

"Well, yes, that's what I mean." Xiao Qi didn't deny it and nodded vigorously.

A man with a guard-like appearance ran over from a distance and knelt in front of Ye Feng. "Report to General, there is an urgent report at the foot of the mountain to ask you to go back and discuss immediately."

"What urgent report?" Ye Feng frowned.

"I don't know the specific subordinates. It seems that Master Wu reported that there was something strange about Liang State. You are asking you to go to the border to check the situation of the garrison guards."

"Has I given the order? I have left the military affairs to several commanders for discussion recently. There is no major matter, so there is no need to report it to me."

"But Master Wu came in person and said he would accompany you to patrol the border guards. He is waiting at the foot of the mountain." The guard leaned over and whispered. "He came with the imperial edict, and he was bound to win, and the general had to go!"

"So what if you don't go? You tell me what you said and let Commander Xu accompany him to the border inspection."

"General, I heard that the people of Master Wu are planning to search mountains on a large scale. In order to seize the merits, they have come up with many insidious ideas. General, please go back to the camp to take a look!" The guards were a little anxious. "Mr. Wu has always regarded the general as his political enemy. I don't know if there is any conspiracy this time. General should be careful in everything!"

"Are you going to miss it again?" Ye Feng was anxious to find Xueyan, and Master Wu was obstructing him. Ye Feng turned around and looked around the forests. He was summoned back as soon as he went up the mountain. If he went to the border patrol with him this time, he would definitely find a reason to leave him on the border and obstruct him from looking for Xueyan. Forget it, it would be better to go back and take a look first. He had to hold Master Wu back. He could not let Xueyan get involved in any battles on earth.

"Where are you?" Ye Feng sighed softly.

"Who, where did you say?" Xiao Qi couldn't hear his own words clearly.

Ye Feng turned around and said to Xiaoqi, "It's nothing. If the girl has no place to go, she will follow me down the mountain first."

"Okay, you don't want girls to be short, my name is Xiaoqi." Xiaoqi smiled slightly, blinked his big eyes and looked at the extraordinary man in front of him. In the past, Grandma Qianhu did not allow her to contact humans. This was the first time she had been alone with humans, and she also looked at a human at such a close distance.

Ye Feng also smiled. "Where is Ye Feng."

Xiao Qi was secretly happy. He was very skilled in martial arts and had him around to protect him. He felt invincible in the world. Even if he met the snake demon at this moment, he probably didn't have to run away with his tail between his legs. Just thinking about it makes me feel very satisfying.

"Your kung fu is really good." Xiao Qi exclaimed with a smile. He is just a human being and has such good kung fu. It's really admirable. Xiao Qi walked with big strides and completely forgot that he had just escaped from danger.

"The girl is over-reputable."

Xiaoqi followed him to the camp at the foot of the mountain, thinking in her heart that grandma used to not allow her to go down the mountain, nor did she have any contact with humans. She always said that humans were afraid of monsters and would hurt her, but it was really strange that this person knew that she was a monster but protected her.

Xiaoqi secretly glanced at Ye Feng beside him. Such a handsome man was not a bad person no matter how he could see him. If he could stay by his side, would he no longer be afraid of being bullied by the snake demon? Xiaoqi felt ecstatic and felt his heart beating faster, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.

"Sister, sister." Yu'er ran to the bottom of Xukun cliff. Xueyan and Liu'er were sitting at the stone table chatting and laughing. Seeing Yu'er running over panting, they patted her on the back with a smile. "What's wrong? Is Xiaoqi bullying you again? Don't worry, say something slowly."

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi..." Yu'er tried to breathe calmly and said anxiously: "Someone wants to kill her, sister, go and save her!"

"What! Where is she?" Xueyan's smile froze on her face, and Suomei asked anxiously.

"In... on the orchard." Yu'er replied panting.

Xueyan and Yangliu hurriedly rushed towards the orchard against the wind. The huge orchard was empty, with only the wind blowing the trees and rustling.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi..." Yang Liu and Xue Yan called anxiously, and echoes came from the valley, but no one responded.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qi is eccentric and will definitely be safe." Yang Liu comforted her with a sense of concern on Xueyan's face.

"Have you found Xiaoqi?" Yu'er asked afterwards. Seeing Yang Liu shaking her head, Yu'er's eyes were red in an anxious manner and she blamed herself. "She was here just now. It's all my fault. She shouldn't have left her! It's all my fault!"

Xueyan leaned over and picked up a fruit that rolled out of the basket and held it in her hand. "There is no blood around here, nor the breath of death. She should be still alive. I'll go to find it elsewhere. Yu'er, it's not safe here, so you go back first."

"I'll go over there." Yang Liu said, walking in the other direction.

"Liu'er." Xueyan called Yang Liu, and Yang Liu turned around. "Be careful."

Yang Liu was stunned and nodded with a smile. "So too."

In the camp tent at the foot of the mountain, Xiaoqi looked at the paintings placed on the table and circled around the table. "Wow, how could you have a portrait of my sister? She could paint so well, exactly the same as a real person!" Looking at the portrait that was about to emerge, Xiaoqi sighed sincerely.

As soon as Ye Feng finished handling the business, he walked into the camp. Xiaoqi hurried over and asked anxiously: "Did you draw this? Have you seen my sister?"

"Do you know Xueyan?" Ye Feng asked without answering.

"Of course!" Xiao Qi blurted out and turned around and asked. "It's not surprising that I know her, how could you know her?"

Ye Feng was asked for a moment, and when he encountered this small question, he didn't know where to start.

"No wonder, my sister often comes to Yao Town, and it's nothing strange to know a few humans." Xiao Qi said to herself.

It seems that this little fox demon does not know the true origin of Xueyan and Ye Feng. Xueyan should have not mentioned to her the past of being an immortal in the heaven.

"What are you doing with her portrait?" Xiao Qi was puzzled. "It's not about hurting her."

Xueyan often told her that the humans and demons have different paths, and demons cannot leave the mountains and forests and live among humans. Has the identity of his sister been discovered by humans?

"No." Ye Feng hesitated for a moment. As a human being, he could not reveal his identity as a god in the heavens, so he had to answer truthfully. "It is the emperor who is now going to summon her and send me to find her."

"The Emperor today?" Xiao Qi pouted and wondered. Xueyan once told her that demons cannot be with humans for a long time. The demonic energy will damage humans' body and shorten their lifespan. At the same time, the demon itself will also damage its Taoist practice.

So Xueyan won't stay with others for a long time, and she also warned her not to contact humans.

"Then are you going to take her away?" What did the emperor summon her to do? Xiaoqi was puzzled. Could it be that these humans were greedy for her beauty? Grandma Qianhu had mentioned to her that there were all kinds of heartless people in this world. Zhu Yan turned her back and forth, and she didn't want Xue Yan to suffer any harm.

"Well, take her to Jizhou." Ye Feng nodded. In fact, he just wanted to take her to a safer place, but he couldn't tell this little fox demon clearly that he could only look for Xueyan under the guise of Emperor Ji Ren.

Since the death of Qianhu Grandma, Xueyan has loved Xiaoqi the most. She was reluctant to take Xueyan away. Xiaoqi's eyes turned and thought about it. She hurriedly said, "She doesn't live here anymore, she has... moved away."

"Have you moved away, where have you moved?" Ye Feng was so amused that the child was just a child. He would come up with such a ridiculous lie to swear at him, but Ye Feng did not say it out loud and asked softly.

"This... I've moved to a very far place anyway, and you can't find her." Xiao Qi concealed her panic and turned around. It was already dusk outside the camp. Xiao Qi thought to herself that she could go down the mountain once, so she would go back later.

"Report to General." A guard walked in outside the tent.

"What's the matter?" Ye Feng sat down, looked up at him with a serious expression.

"The notice was posted everywhere in Yao Town, but no one reported the news about Meizhu. The national teacher sent someone to ask if the general wants to search the mountains tomorrow?"

"Meizhu." Xiaoqi exclaimed, and saw Ye Feng looking at her in confusion, and hurriedly covered her mouth and turned around.

"You retreat first, and then discuss the matter of searching the mountain slowly." The guard had to retreat, and Ye Feng turned his head to look at Xiao Qi. "You know about Meizhu."

"Meizhu is the treasure of our fox demon. What do you want Meizhu to do?" Xiaoqi continued to ask. "Is it what the emperor wants today?"

"Yes, do you know where Meizhu is?"

Xiao Qi shook her head repeatedly, her expression flashing. "I don't know."
