Also, the main hall of the Spirit Garden is preparing meals; you may go there at your leisure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The court is burdened with affairs—we shall take our leave first. Rest well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the demon minister bowed and withdrew, the Spirit Garden fell suddenly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the group stepped into the central courtyard and saw the teahouse along the corridor; exhaustion settled over them, mingled with an unspoken dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Spirit Garden resembled the Jade Garden, and yesterday, at nearly this very spot, those elegant invitation scrolls had concealed deadly intent as they were delivered into their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine—if they had truly gone to the banquets last night, they might well be dead tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone had barely escaped the feast, faced with the endless snowfields and the distant wilderness a thousand li away, whether they could return safely to Jiuzhou was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had already sensed the barbarians’ madness upon arrival; even if they managed to escape the territory, evading the barbarians’ pursuit would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, even the several Elders who had accompanied them would likely face certain death if they attempted to return to Cold Iron Pass under the pursuit of the demon-man alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things are like this: you don’t realize their full meaning until after the fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night’s deadly night was truly a line between life and death—heart-stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ji You sat in his wheelchair, being wheeled into the Spirit Garden; his hands hung limp at his sides. Though still functional, the pain was excruciating—worse even than when he had first awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the Fengyang needles’ effect was fading; his forcibly reopened meridians were slowly returning to their original positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that after noon, his hands would lose mobility again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to use the latrine first…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t let Xiao Jianzhu fall behind—he’d definitely cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You exhaled, the breath turning to a wisp of smoke in the frigid north; he turned his gaze toward the Emperor of Demons’ palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night’s assassination wasn’t without benefit—it at least shortened the Emperor of Demons’ decision-making process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they wouldn’t be long before leaving the snowlands…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ji You had initially felt like a tourist in this alien land, prolonged exile inevitably stirred longing for home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gongshu Chou couldn’t help asking: “That demon general, Shu He—really that strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You snapped back to attention, nodding: “I monitored the entire west courtyard with my spiritual sense, yet I nearly missed his presence. My multiple strikes were dodged, and I nearly fell into his trap—his speed is terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Chou pondered long before speaking: “I’m more astonished by his cultivation method—he landed knife wounds on you with bare hands. I’ve never heard of such a thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps it’s his innate talent—his fists and palms cut like blades, charging straight at me like that—it startled me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could he have hidden a short blade, but concealed it for the assassination?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You suddenly grew serious: “Don’t speak nonsense. I didn’t see even a single short blade, let alone a hilt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Chou imagined a figure wielding bare hands as if gripping a blade: “Your body is supposed to be nearly impervious—how could he have wounded you without any weapon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You looked up at him, his brow slowly furrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop talking—you’re about to solve the case yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gongshu brother, please take me to my room—I’m tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Chou pushed Ji You toward the room, still muttering about bare-handed knife wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the human prodigies, standing or seated, all raised their heads and stared long at his retreating back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never seen Shu He alive, so they didn’t know his true strength—but they all understood the power of his body, for it was capable of hand-to-hand combat with the barbarians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That demon general, Shu He, had landed knife wounds on him with bare hands—his danger level was clear…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, this very man had died so silently in Ji You’s hands, leaving not even a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stealth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t seen it—only remembered the spot in the west courtyard where they’d found him sprawled, knowing he hadn’t even reached the threshold of the envoys’ rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan spoke up: “Ji You’s realm is low, but his spiritual sense is surely the strongest among us—this is evident from his sword control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chenfeng lifted his gaze: “Seeing and striking are different—he needs a fast sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qiubai looked up: “The Dao Sword ‘Return and Depart’—that’s our Lingjian Mountain’s fastest sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This bastard didn’t die unjustly—but if the one guarding the west courtyard that night hadn’t been him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, prodigies like Huo Hong, Shi Junhao, Jiang Chenfeng, and Xiao Hanyan all frowned, fists tightening involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if they had been the ones guarding the west courtyard that night, stopping that demon general would have been extremely doubtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they imagined themselves as the demon general, they felt Ji You might well have killed them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Hong fell silent for a long while: “Just luck—he happened to meet someone whose talent could counter him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuerou glanced at him: “That’s not entirely true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spiritual sense, physical strength, sword art—he’s exceptionally strong in all areas except his realm. The man who blocked a barbarian warlord’s punch can’t be judged by narrow realm standards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the prodigies fell silent again; the words “Tongxuan Realm” kept surfacing in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hand-to-hand combat with barbarians, slashing down a warlord, plus today’s counter-killing of a demon general…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along this journey, the Tianshu Academy’s Tongxuan Realm had displayed combat power so absurd it surpassed even the bare-handed knife wounds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ge Elder of the Tianshu Academy listened to their conversation and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though high-rank cultivators viewing low-rank ones fighting is like watching children brawl, Ji You truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person cannot be treated as an ordinary disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him regret—he shouldn’t have, under the influence of the Inner Academy, let Ji You fend for himself; he should have protected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back on the wilderness, when the barbarian warlord fired that arrow, he didn’t intervene—now it’s too late to speak of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this disciple was at least worthy of becoming a Hall Master’s direct disciple—but fortunately, Ji You was merely a commoner, so it wasn’t so tragic…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, it was somewhat regrettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ge surname originated from Zhongzhou; once a minor clan, it rose to middle-rank status only after he became a Tianshu Academy Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to its short history and small population, the Ge clan had no deep roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ge Elder regretted was that he should have taken Ji You as his direct disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since everyone in the Academy said his innate Dao Heart was luminous and could be passed down…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, footsteps sounded outside the Spirit Garden. The group, still on edge from last night’s attack, immediately summoned their qi, eyes sharp toward the door—then saw a group of demon doctors entering with medicine chests; their vigilance eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night’s battle left most with only external injuries, since the dark demon generals’ attacks were mostly intercepted by the Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most severely wounded, Chu Butian, had merely been pierced through the arm by a longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another was Tu Xu—he’d been shot by a warlord’s arrow on the wilderness and had now reopened his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for cultivators, as long as vital organs—spiritual core, meridians, head, heart—weren’t damaged, it wasn’t serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they asked the doctors to bandage them—but forbade any further treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they weren’t certain whether last night’s incident was solely the work of the Scale and Fang clans, or if others were involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a foreign land, being cautious about exposing wounds was not excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s injuries were relatively minor—mostly blunt trauma, limited to her wrists. As the doctor approached, she rolled up her sleeve and said: “We have another companion who was injured last night—he’s still in his room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon doctor glanced at her but said nothing, continuing to tend to the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were meticulous: they picked out shattered fragments, rinsed the wounds, then bandaged them—all unhurried, calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan found the doctor’s silence odd, assuming he was occupied—until she looked around and realized several doctors had already finished bandaging minor injuries but hadn’t moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They don’t seem to intend to treat Ji You?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it because Ji You killed a demon general?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can they really do that? The demon clan is being awfully petty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, footsteps sounded again outside the Spirit Garden. Everyone turned, eyes widening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of the Spirit Garden, Princess Fengyang stepped in, a medicine chest on her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure was exquisite—slender waist, tall frame, delicate and graceful features. Her curled lashes shimmered faintly gold in the morning light, radiating nobility and serenity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t wearing the plain dress from this morning, nor the white physician’s robe—she’d changed into something that accentuated her figure. After entering the garden, she didn’t look at them, but carried the chest gracefully upstairs, heading straight for Ji You’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone froze, then exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only just seen this demon princess this morning—she’d arrived with imperial guards to halt the assassination and had sent all participants from the Scale and Fang clans to the Emperor of Demons’ city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a major incident in the demon clan, the aftermath would be complicated—they assumed the princess would be tied up for days. Yet here she was, back so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it wasn’t that they refused to treat him—it’s that Princess Fengyang came personally…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She just delivered those people to the Emperor of Demons’ palace this morning—round trip takes time, yet she made the trip anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t she change her dress…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this, Huo Hong rose silently and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ji You was in his room, gripping two short blades with his increasingly painful hands, carefully examining their edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the blades’ material was extraordinary—both hardness and sharpness reached peak quality; even uncontrolled, they radiated a sublime aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wild Blade]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his door was pushed open from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You swiftly tucked away both short knives, then turned to see Princess Fengyang enter through the door. She met his gaze for a moment, then walked in carrying a medicine chest and set it down beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The effect of the needles should be wearing off soon. Let me check your arm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The pain has definitely become noticeable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang nodded after hearing this, smoothed her skirt, squatted down to open the medicine chest, her hips appearing round, plump, and firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted Ji You’s arm, felt his pulse for a long while, then said: “The forcibly opened meridians are beginning to retract, sensation has returned, so the pain will be intense. I’ll seal your pain sensation once more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You lifted his head at the sound: “Won’t this worsen your injury?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Only forcibly opening meridians worsens injury. Sealing pain sensation does not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You looked at this princess of Fengyang and felt her voice sounded more strained than before, though she herself seemed unaware, still maintaining the demeanor of a proper physician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang raised her delicate face, and upon seeing his gaze, blinked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just wondering what will happen to the demon clans who participated in the assassination attempt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow morning, the Imperial Demon Lord will bring them to Snow Peak and lock them in the Cold Prison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You felt the faint sting of the silver needles piercing his skin, fell silent for a long moment, then spoke: “It was truly a hair’s breadth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang softly hummed, then added: “If you hadn’t been prepared in advance, war would have truly begun. But how did you discover the truth about the Lin and Ya clans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the Demon Emperor made a decision, demon clans rushed to deliver tribute petitions—it was too hasty. Besides, the petitioner’s surname was Mu, the same as the clan chief of the Lin clan who strongly demanded war at the demon court that day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s his son. The Lin clan has always been responsible for demon spirit stone mining.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang took hold of his palm, feeling it warm and broad, then slowly inserted the next silver needle: “You blocked the General, halted the Demon Commander—aren’t you afraid of dying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You felt the needle enter his body and replied: “If I don’t do this, the people of Fengzhou will be finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fengzhou?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the poorest of our human states—no immortal sects, no noble families. I’m the only cultivator in Fengzhou. This year, to reduce taxes, I killed many. But I held it together. Now, just as good days seem within reach, I can’t let war destroy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You suddenly pressed his lips together: “A man should die on the path of saving others—or he’ll regret it forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the needles sank deeper, Ji You’s pain sensation gradually faded, and the pain from the retracting meridians diminished rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he looked down at the demon princess, his gaze drawn to the round, plump horns hidden in her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon clans have many more parts than humans—horns are one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these horns should be hardened keratin tissue, with no nerves or blood flow, so they shouldn’t move or feel anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang released Ji You’s right hand and took his left hand in hers: “Now this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You watched her movements, thinking: Last time she administered needles, she didn’t hold both hands together like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the demon princess’s small hands were smooth and delicate, fitting perfectly in his palms, slightly cool—yet Ji You felt no discomfort. He wondered if her feet were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a long while, a pale, tender foot suddenly flashed before his mind, kicking fiercely—he held his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haven’t been kicked in a long time. My Dao heart’s getting too clear. Need to calm it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shuyi keeps calling me “stranger,” but she’s just a jealous girl—she’s been secretly competing with Yuan Caimei. Add another, and it’ll ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang rose gracefully, gazing at the needles on his arm: “You shouldn’t feel any pain in your arm now, but meridian recovery will take a long time. During this period, you still can’t use your arm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Princess, for your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for thanks. But you should value your life more. Such fearlessness can sometimes be a sickness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You lifted his gaze: “Fearlessness is a sickness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang nodded: “Fearlessness can be the same as wanting to die. Its fatality rate is higher than any real disease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You lifted his gaze: “Thank you for the warning, Princess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said no need for thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ji You spoke, silence fell over the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the needles needed time to work, Princess Fengyang could only stand before him, waiting. The awkward silence made the atmosphere uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Princess Fengyang suddenly looked around and spoke: “Your forced use of the arm may have unknown consequences. If sudden pain arises or you have other questions, send for me anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You pondered, then ventured: “Princess, I have a small matter I’d like to ask, though I’m not sure if I should.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang turned to him: “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, it’s not really important. The main issue is that humans and demons distrust each other, nearly sparking disaster—because we simply don’t understand each other. I actually hope humans learn more about demons, so I’m curious about many things—for example… do demon women have tails?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang froze, then her cheeks slowly flushed crimson. She stood stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, if it’s too private, never mind. I didn’t ask—it’s a friend of mine who’s curious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually… yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang fell silent for a long moment, then whispered: “It’s like this… you can hide it normally…” As she spoke, a bulge slowly pushed apart the folds of her skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice grew quieter as she noticed Ji You staring at her back. She averted her gaze, biting her red lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You snapped back to reality, feeling a pang of wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s how it is. No wonder I never saw it—it’s just like mine, only the position is off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned. Ji You continued his quiet contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang, too, began to drift in thought, lost in her own mind. But soon, the tail beneath her skirt began swaying unconsciously toward him—as if unintentional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You watched for a long while: “Princess, are you happy now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang glanced at him. The tail’s motion halted instinctively. She shook her head, bewildered: “Today’s incident nearly caused an irreparable disaster. I have nothing to be happy about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You nodded, then silence fell again. After a long while, the tail began swaying gently once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what demon tail-swishing meant, but dared not ask. It seemed uncontrollable, like his own—so he pretended not to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the needle time ended. The swaying tail snapped back to awareness as Princess Fengyang bent down to remove the needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You now felt no pain in his arms, and found it profoundly mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll return tomorrow for a follow-up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Your Highness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Fengyang returned the needles to their case, packed the medicine chest, and walked out: “No spicy food until your arm recovers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke and stepped out, boarding the carriage waiting outside the garden. She reached under her skirt, touched her demon tail, and fell into a daze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A demon woman’s tail is a private part—never shown casually.
