He looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, then looked away.
They didn't have much in common to begin with, but now they were getting even more awkward.
"You can't have anyone come up here."
When he didn't answer, she continued, "It's too unsafe for you to live here by yourself. I mean, if something happens and no one finds out that something is wrong with you, then you've missed the best chance for treatment!"
She said a lot of words. The map was convenient, and simple words popped out.
Fortunately, the Demon Lord had understood her words. However, she did not reply.
"Am I too noisy?" she asked cautiously.
Some people just hate people who keep talking.
However, she hated the silent existence of these two people. If they were acquaintances, then it would be fine, but being with the Demon Lord made her feel a little awkward.
"Nope." He actually answered.
Lou Xinyue was pleased.
If he said no, then he really should not.
"Then how are you feeling now? Shall I go down and get someone to help you? " She had not studied the injury, nor did she know what to do.
"No need."
"…" Is this really okay?
Finally, not only did he answer her question, he even took the initiative to say, "Life or death is meaningless. To be able to live on is to die in the dust."
Her heart skipped a beat.
He did not expect these words to come from someone who was called the devil by the Jianghu.
He wasn't some esteemed monk, so how could he look down on the mortal world like that?
"Your Majesty, is there nothing that you're still nostalgic for?"
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. "No."
She nodded her head. Sure enough, she was not afraid of death. How could she not see through the world of mortals?
However, only such a person could become the Demon Lord.
Seeing that he was tired, and he didn't want her to call people to show him, she had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go back first."
He did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he answered, "Yes."
She stood up and felt a bit worried. However, staying here wasn't a big deal. Right now, she could at least tell Bai Mei about the situation and let her make her decision.
After she slowly left the hall, she decided to head down the mountain.
On the way, he bumped into someone who was cleaning up the tableware.
"Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet." A rough looking man mumbled.
"Yes." Lou Xinyue went over.
The man knew her. She was from the kitchen. The last time she came, she had asked for his help, so she knew who she was.
"Is this your dinner?" she asked.
The man nodded. "Yes." he said, lifting the curtain to show her. "But, you see, none of them."
She stuck her head out and looked.
All right …
Considering the current condition of the Demon Lord's body, it would be strange if he could eat this kind of thing.
Steamed buns, a bowl of rice that looked very hard, as well as greasy meat and dishes that didn't look right.
"Can you lend me the firehouse?"
She went down the mountain and told Bai Mei about the situation.
Bai Mei nodded. "Your highness has always been like this."
What he meant was that if there was anything during the training, even if he died, he would die, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Oh." Well, she didn't understand that.
Bai Mei asked her again, "You want to use the firehouse?"
"En, I just saw your brothers who prepared the food. How could you eat those things with your current master's body?" she said.
He had no ability to recover at all.
Bai Mei brought her to the kitchen in confusion.
She pulled up her sleeves and looked at the ingredients. The last time she had looked, she had already known that the ingredients were sufficient.
Bai Mei was curious, so she didn't walk away. Instead, she stood to the side and watched. It wasn't just her; quite a few people had unknowingly gathered.
This put a lot of pressure on Lou Zigui.
"It's not like I'm performing acrobatics. Why are there so many people watching?" She secretly asked Bai Mei who was eating a fruit beside her.
Bai Mei answered, "Because the food here is the kind that you have to give to your highness when you see it today."
No need to say it out loud.
Suddenly, she remembered that the Demon Lord had 'invited' her to the Demon Sect's kitchen.
Sure enough, it was only after experiencing it that he thought of inviting her. Even if the her back then was only a roasted meat.
She did not have any more doubts, as Bai Mei's questions remained unanswered. "But, how could you do such a thing?"
Bai Mei already knew that Lou Zigui was a young lady from the family of generals, so it was normal for her to have such a question.
It was just like how, in the past, as a Miss of the Bai Clan, even if her fingers were not touched by the Yang Spring Water, she would not be able to differentiate between the ingredients. Even after coming out to roam the martial arts world, she still didn't understand these things.
The general's estate wasn't any worse than the Bai family, and Lou Zigui was the young lady of the general's estate, so no matter what, she shouldn't be the person who knew these things.
"Oh, because I like it." Lou Xinyue answered her quickly as she washed and cooked.
How else?
Bai Mei did not leave anyway, and looked curiously, "Then what are you planning to do?"
"I saw that there was cooked rice and white chicken, so I decided to make some chicken noodle congee." "Then I'll make some side dishes."
There's no need to ask about anything else, just look at her nimble cutting techniques. There's no problem at all.
Since there were enough ingredients and she had not eaten yet, she did make more while she was at it. She and Bai Mei could eat as well.
However, when Bai Mei heard that, she immediately shook her head, "I don't want to eat with you."
"…" She put away the pot and thought for a while. "Then I'll split it for you. You can take half of it with you to eat."
Bai Mei wanted to say no more, but then she remembered that Mo Xifan had already eaten mediocre food for many days, so she changed her mind, "Un, good.
If the people from the other sects wanted to eat together, they wouldn't have such good fortune.
Lou Zigui climbed up again and it turned out that the person serving the food was also a martial arts expert. He used his lightness techniques to quickly and smoothly deliver the food.
Halfway down, he saw that Lou Zigui was still "climbing the mountain", so he flew her up with him.
Indeed, only a martial arts master would build such a residence.
She said it would be cold when she climbed up.
"Thank you, Big Brother." She gasped.
Climbing up and down was too exhausting for her. She had used her arm to cook just now. Although her left hand was injured, she had still used her strength and was now feeling a little hot and bloated.
She could only silently carry her basket of rice into the hall.
When he got closer, he saw that the Demon Lord had not moved.
When she had left, the Demon Lord had been lying on the soft couch, but now he was lying on it.
Looking at him lying on his side, Lou Zigui suddenly felt pity for her.
Even though it was laughable to pity a Demon Lord, a famous devil in the martial arts world, at this moment, it was truly pitiful to look at.
No one would know if he really died here.
Presumably, he was severely injured. Otherwise, with his current power, it would be impossible for her to have entered the room without him noticing.
She looked around. There was a low table, so she quickly moved in and brought out the food. Even with such a huge movement, the other party still did not make a move.
"Your Majesty, get up and eat." She cried out again.
The man on the bed stirred and sat up.
His face seemed paler than before.
"Sir, are you really alright?"
The Demon Lord looked at her and then at the dishes she had placed on the low table.
"For what?" he asked.
"They said that you haven't had a proper meal in days, so I brought it up to you." She said, "And, don't worry, I've done all this to boost my appetite and to make sure it tastes good!"
She didn't want to boast like that either.
He was so thick-skinned because he hoped that Ye Zichen could really eat some.
"You did it?" he asked.
"Yeah."
Suspicion flashed across his unchanging face. Then, he tried to stand up, but Lou Zigui hurried to help him.
Grabbing his arm, he looked down at her hand.
"Do you take me for an old man?" He was actually teasing her. Of course, his tone was very normal.
It was true that Lou Zigui was a little lonely. Perhaps it was because she had seen his back and felt that he was very lonely, but she hadn't adjusted her emotions after she had felt sorry for him. That was why she acted so naturally.
"Your Majesty, please come over first." She was a bit careless, and didn't think much of helping the injured, so she didn't take his words to mean anything.
She helped him to the low table.
"Sir, your injuries seem to be really serious. I just caused such a huge commotion that you didn't notice. I feel like I still need to go down the mountain and have a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, he replied, "You don't have killing intent."
"Hmm?" She didn't understand.
The Demon Lord no longer explained, "I'm fine." If she had been emitting a little bit of killing intent, she wouldn't have been able to stay here.
Seeing that he did not explain, she helplessly took a step back and said: "Alright then. However, I have already told Big Sister Bai about your injuries. She will get some people to get some medicinal ingredients that are useful for internal injuries.
He did not reply.
She then said, "Actually, your Devil Sect should also recruit more disciples, including female disciples."
Since it had become an organization, it had to be managed properly. He had read novels about wuxia novels, but no cult would be destroyed just because of the problem of food and drink.
They sat down facing each other.
