Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Very Good Coaxing
Ji Yu did not sleep soundly.
In her sleep, it was the ubiquitous sound of the ocean waves, surging and surging, seemingly trying to sweep her into that deep sea of endless darkness, bean-sized droplets of water falling from the sky, turning into scarlet blood when they landed, thick and fishy, turning into a sea of blood, wanting to devour people.
Above the sea of blood, darkness descended, swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, as a storm came from the sea and swept through heaven and earth.
In that endless darkness, a scarlet eye slowly opened.
When that eye opened completely, the nameless fear gripped the human heart tightly, and it was a few times that he wanted to suffocate and faint, and his consciousness sank ... -.
"Ah Yu! Ah fish ..."
Ji Yu opened her eyes in a loud call, her sanity was a bit chaotic, and she looked dully at the man above her who woke her up.
"Ah Yu, did you dream?" Jiang Ruiqiu asked, taking a handkerchief to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead.
Ji Yu was silent, just staring at him blankly, her consciousness seemed to still be immersed in that horrible dream, her breathing light to near nothing.
Her unconsciousness was such that she didn't see the irritation in the man's eyes, and the flash of ferocity that passed by.
A long time later, Ji Yu's eyes focused, saw the man guarding the bedside, and hoarsely said, "Jiang Ruqiu."
Jiang Ruqiu answered, tossing the soaked hanky aside and probing his arm to pick her up.
Probably because she had just had a horrible nightmare, her body was so cold that her body temperature was even lower than usual, and Jiang Ruqiu held her in his arms as if she was holding ice.
He took clean clothes and changed them for her, then held the person tightly in his arms to warm her body.
The icy body gradually became warm, Ji Yu somewhat greedily buried her face in his arms, sniffing the scent of his body, like the incense of sunken wood, and like the aroma of incense from a temple, letting that temperature soak herself, and the pain in her body that she had already become accustomed to, eased along with it.
She closed her eyes slightly, her spirit relaxing, a little drowsy.
"Ah Yu?" Jiang Ruiqiu looked down at her, "Mother?"
Ji Yu answered vaguely and asked, "Where did you go tonight?"
Jiang Ruqiu lay down with his arm around her and said, "Out of the city to deal with some evil filth that doesn't grow eyes, those demon removers are really useless, they can't even handle such a small thing, they always have to come to me ...."
The demon removers he was talking about were none other than the members of the Demon Suppression Division, who were disliked by him to no end.
Even Qin Du, who was favored by the Demon Suppression Division, was a useless one in his eyes.
The corner of Ji Yu's mouth curled up slightly, his voice was very soft, "You are the Commanding Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, you are their superior, of course they can only look for you ... Jiang Ruqiu, you are really great."
Jiang Ruqiu was easily coaxed.
He said pleasantly, "I love hearing this, mama will say more in the future."
Ji Yu lost her smile and said good with her mouth.
She closed her eyes and secretly thought that this demonic evil was actually quite coaxing, didn't he just want to hear good words and ask for a kiss? All can be given to him!
Perhaps there was Jiang Ruiqiu accompanying her, the second half of the night Ji Yu did not have any more nightmares, and slept peacefully until dawn.
Early in the morning, the green luan bird's call is clear and pleasing to the ear, accompanied by the sound of the sea tide came, will people from sleep to wake up.
Ji Yu opened his eyes, and what he saw was a face that declined in the west, cold white skin, clear as jade, clearly looking like it should be cold, yet it was very warm to the touch.
It was a temperature that would make humans covet.
How could a demonic evil have such a warm temperature? It was truly unbelievable.
"Mother, what are you staring at me for so early in the morning?"
Jiang Ruiqiu opened his eyes and asked with a smile, not the slightest bit of sleepiness in his ink-black eyes.
As a demonic evil, he didn't need to sleep, but this was the earth, and walking on earth as a human, he had learned the routine of mortals.
A smile surfaced in Ji Yu's eyes, and he truthfully said, "To see you look good."
"Really?" Jiang Ruiqiu looked at her with delight and some shyness, "Do you really think I look good, mama?"
Ji fish nodded her head, demonic evil spirits already have the ability to compel people's hearts, most of the spirits and demons are extraordinarily beautiful in their human forms when they take shape, to say that the phrase "pouring out of the country into the city" is not an exaggeration, it's hard for mortals to resist such beauty, and they will often pay a price for it.
Because of Ji Yu's words, Jiang Ruiqiu was in a very good mood, even Red Image, Ji Bu Huan and the others could see it.
Red Image asked with a smile, "Lord Jiang, you're in a good mood today, did something good happen?"
She was a Xuan Armor Guard trained by the Ji family, not a Demon Exterminator, however, she also grew up with Ji Yu and Ji Buhuan, and had an unusual love affair, plus she had spent a lot of time with Jiang Ruqiu, and was able to say a word or two in front of them once in a while.
Jiang Ruqiu, dressed in red, stood against the wind and said as if he was not thinking, "Fish said I was good-looking, and that he had to stare at me with his eyes open! Hey, it seems that it's quite troublesome for this person to be too good looking."
Red Image: "..."
Ji Bu Huan: "..."
Okay, they know, so it's in front of them to show off.
Jiang Ruiqiu's good mood was soon stirred up by Qin Du who came over.
When Qin Du entered the door, saw the smile on his face, secretly thought that Jiang adults today's mood looks very good, suddenly felt that there is the door.
However, he did not enter the door to directly find Jiang Ruqiu said official business, first and Ji fish greetings, to Ji fish said: "Qing Yu City near a water anomaly, recently there are a lot of fishermen disappeared, suspected that there is a demonic evil, Zhen Demon Division of the people went to explore, has not been able to find out what is the demonic evil, so I thought that Mr. Jiang happens to be also at the same time, it is better to let him go to take a look, I think he should be able to see something. "
Finally, he said with a sincere face, "If we can put the demon that is causing chaos to death as early as possible, it will also save more people from being killed."
Ji Yu favored, "What Lord Qin said is very true."
With her affirmation, Qin Du was very happy and looked at Jiang Ruqiu with a smile.
In this month, he had dealt with Jiang Ruqiu more, and although he was tossed around by him, he had also figured out his character, and finally knew how to be circuitous in front of Lord Jiang.
Anyway, if you want to find Lord Jiang to do something, you can come to Young Master Ji first, and with Young Master Ji opening his mouth, Lord Jiang usually won't shirk.
Sure enough, although Jiang Ruiqiu was bossy and unhappy, he still went out with him.
It was the next few days that Qin Du might pay the price for this and be tossed around.
But he was already used to it, anyway, he had thick skin and flesh, he was not afraid of being tossed around by Lord Jiang, and he could also follow Lord Jiang to gain insights, it was quite cost-effective.
Jiang Ruiqiu had just left the house when someone came over to visit.
Red Image introduced the people, they were all known to Ji Yu, there was Xu Xiu Jue and Zuo Ling Shuang from the Demon Removal Alliance, as well as a young girl in pink with a delicate appearance.
"Cousin~"
The pink-clothed young girl was like a light bird, happily swooping towards Ji Yu.
Ji Yu's eyes brightened slightly as she wrapped her arms around the young girl, her voice, which was always cold, added a few points of joy as she asked with a smile, "Yang Yang actually came here as well?"
The pink-clothed young girl was called Pei Yang, a disciple of the Pei family of the Jade Floating Cliff, and Ji Yu was a cousin.
Back then, an aunt of the Ji family married into the Pei family, and Ji fish had to call her an aunt grandmother, which was also Pei Yang's grandmother.
Because she was often sick, in the past, in order to cure her illness, Ji fish had gone to the Pei family to live for a while, and Pei Yang had a deep bond.
"Yes, cousin, isn't it surprising to see me?" Pei Yang chirped, "I've grown up, this time I begged my parents to let me also come to Qing Yu to celebrate her birthday and gain insights, I thought that cousin you might also come, and sure enough, last night I heard that you had come ..."
Although Ji Yu was elated, she nevertheless didn't forget the other guests, greeting them and inviting them to take a seat.
Xu Xiu Jue looked at her face and asked with concern, "Is senior sister Ji's body alright?"
"Quite well, thanks to Senior Brother Xu's concern."
Zuo Ling Shuang was also concerned about Ji Yu's health, the last trip to Crescent Moon Villa had allowed Zuo Ling Shuang and the others to sort of reacquaint themselves with the rumored young master of the Ji Clan, and sympathize with each other for a few moments.
Therefore, after learning that Ji Yu came to the Chen family, Zuo Lingshuang came directly over to visit.
While talking, Pei Yang looked around and suddenly asked, "Cousin, why don't we see Lord Jiang, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division?"
She came over today just to meet her cousin's husband, and she still didn't know what he looked like.
Ji Yu smiled and said, "He had something to go out."
Pei Yang was disappointed and had to say that she would come over again tomorrow, hoping to meet her cousin-in-law.
Xu Xiu Jue looked at Ji Yu's smiling face, and could tell that the bright smile between her brows diluted the coolness in her temperament, making her look extraordinarily soft and beautiful.
He lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Knowing that Ji Yu's health is not good, afraid of disturbing her rest, the three of them stayed for a while, then got up and left.
Pei Yang reluctantly took Ji Yu's hand and said, "Cousin, you have to take good care of your body, tomorrow I'll come to find you to go out and play, I heard that there are many delicious and fun places in Qing Yu City, I came over these few days, and I haven't even gone out to shop yet."
Ji Yu smiled and answered.
Pei Yang happily jumped up and said cheerfully, "Too good, with cousin accompanying me, Ah Sister and the others won't detain me anymore."
Her age is still young, she's just left the master, and she doesn't have a lot of experience, her siblings love her, and fearing that she'll encounter any dangers, they keep a close eye on her when she's out and about, and seldom let her run around.
After being detained for a few days, Pei Yang had been thinking about going out for a stroll.
Now that she has Cousin Fish, the young master of the Ji family with her, she can go out and play again.
After sending the three away, it was time for Ji Yu to drink her medicine, and Red Image brought a bowl of decocted soup.
The first time I saw her was when she was in the hospital, and she was in the middle of the night.
Ji Bu Huan came in from outside, his face a bit sullen, and said, "Young master, the Chen family's third miss and her husband are outside, wanting to see you."
Chen family's third young miss?
Red Image instantly reacted to the fact that it was Chen Qingchu's parents, Chen Maku and Shang Yunxiao's husband and wife.
She looked at the Young Lord, a few moments of worry surfacing in her eyes.
Ji Yu's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Let them come in."
"Young Lord ...," Red Image wanted to speak.
She laughed and said, "This is the Chen Family, we are guests, how can there be a reason to not allow the master to enter?"
Ji Bu Huan looked at her calm demeanor, and knew that the young lord was just a body that looked delicate, but in reality, she had a resolute nature and was an idea person, so there was no need to worry too much.
He turned around and went out to invite the guests in.
A moment later, Ji Bu Huan brought in the Chen Mou couple.
Chen Mou looked to be in her early twenties, young and beautiful, a woman with a bright nature.
This was not surprising, she was an extremely gifted Demon Remover who had been able to maintain her youth since, because her talent was too good, the Chen family could not afford to marry her out, so they recruited a son-in-law for her.
As for Shang Yunxiao, although he was just an ordinary man, yet the years were too favorable to him, even though he had suffered some hardships in his earlier years as a sin slave, yet he quickly recuperated his body after joining the Ji family.
Later turned to the Chen family, the Chen family treats him is also not thin, all these years of pampering, coupled with the natural beauty, looking at but about thirty, is the man's most charismatic age.
Ji Yu raised his eyes to look over and invited them to sit down.
The couple came this time, brought a lot of gifts, are some medicinal herbs tonic, to Ji fish to replenish the body.
At this glance, they knew that Chen Mou had prepared them.
Chen Mou said with concern, "Seeing Young Master Ji's face, it looks better than before, but is his body greatly recovered?"
Ji Yu first thanked her for her concern and said in a faint voice, "It is indeed better than before."
Chen Mou laughed, "In that case, we are relieved."
Compared to Chen Mou's concern, Shang Yunxiao sat there coldly, not caring about this daughter in the slightest.
He was once the number one most beautiful man in Yunjing, and even though he was no longer in his prime now, he was still an extraordinarily handsome man, sitting there like a beauty across the clouds.
Both Ji Yu and Chen Qingchu's looks were inherited from him, and with father and daughter sitting together, no one who looked at them would be able to deny the bloodline relationship between them.
After caring for Ji Yu's body, Chen Mou Fang explained the purpose of her visit.
She said with an apologetic face: "Qing Rut that child is really too bad, the last time the thing in the Crescent Moon Villa, we have already heard from Qing Feng, it is indeed he is not right, a young age, actually line so vicious things, last month we have punished him in the dark room to think about the past, a few days ago he came out from the dark room, I did not think that ... "
At the end of her words, her face showed the color of sullen anger, obviously infuriated by her son.
Ji fish color did not change, also do not interject, just lowered his head to drink medicine.
The faint bitter smell of the medicine filled the room.
Seeing this, Chen Mou took pity on him for a few more moments and said, "If there is any trouble in the future, Young Master Ji can make people come to us."
She didn't say anything warm and fuzzy, and directly stated her attitude.
For this daughter from her husband's ex-wife, although she couldn't do anything to love her as if she were her own child, she sincerely wished her well.
Ji Yu said, "Thank you, Third Miss."
She did not say anything else.
Chen Mou also did not care, cared for a few more sentences, got up and left.
From the beginning to the end, Shang Yunxiao did not speak, Ji Yu also did not have the intention to communicate with him, father and daughter both treat each other as non-existent.
Walking out of the guest courtyard, Chen Mou helplessly said, ''Why do you need to do this? Young Master Ji is your daughter, blood is unbreakable, it's okay to care about your own daughter, no one will blame you. It's rare to see her, you should have a good chat with her."
Shang Yunxiao said in a faint voice, "We have nothing to talk about."
Seeing that he was not willing to talk more, Chen Mou sighed and said nothing more.
**
Ji Yu asked Red Image to put away the tonic that Chen Mou and his wife had brought and said, "When you celebrate your birthday the day after tomorrow, send it over with the birthday gifts."
The meaning of these words was that he did not want to keep them.
Red Image answered.
The arrival of the Chen Mou couple did not affect Ji Yu's mood, how it should be.
Perhaps knowing that the young master of the Ji family's health is not good, not many people came over to visit today, Ji fish also do not care, nestled in the guest courtyard to rest, happy to take it easy.
The day passed like this.
When the sky darkens, Jiang Ruiqiu is still not back, Ji Yu did not wait for him, after drinking the medicine, he went to sleep.
Just after falling asleep, he started dreaming again.
The sea tide sounded unceasingly, and on the black surface of the sea, heavy rain poured down, turning into blood water spreading, coloring the world in the dream into a sea of blood.
Ji Yu felt like a small fish in the sea of blood, at any moment he might be swallowed up by the raging storm and huge waves.
Endless pain spread through her body, and she ached so much that her body spasmed in agony.
It was so painful that a broken scream escaped from her throat, and she tried to reach out and grab something, yet she couldn't even move a single finger.
In the dark night sky, a blood red eye slowly opened.
Ji Fish couldn't see it, and by the time those eyes opened, she was already in so much pain that she couldn't even scream, only her weak breath breaking off.
Sanity began to become chaotic, she mumbled, "Jiang ... passed away in the autumn ..."
A large, bony hand suddenly broke through the darkness and grabbed toward the scarlet, evil eye.
With a click, like a mirror being shattered, cracks appeared in the dark sky, and that pair of eyes was covered with spiderweb-like traces, shattering with a bang.
As the darkness receded, so did the terrible pain.
Seasonal Fish opened her eyes, soaked in sweat and soaked her clothes.
She looked at the man who held her in his arms, her eyes wet with sweat, her eyes blank, and mumbled, "Jiang Ruqiu ..."
"I'm here!" Jiang Ruqiu wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her pale, cold face, "A fish, I'm here, it's okay, it's okay!"
