After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 342 The Standard of Love

After dinner, Shen Xu took the initiative to approach Li Xiaoyi. This was the first time he had stepped into Li Xiaoyi's attic. The layout and style were very similar to her residence in Tianjian City, very simple and elegant.

"Sit down!" Li Xiaoyi poured a cup of hot tea and sat down comfortably on the soft seat to enjoy it.

"Here, take this! I'm afraid I don't have the money to fix it." Shen Xu handed the Sky Shuttle to Li Xiaoyi.

"What do you want to know?" Li Xiaoyi asked after taking the Sky Shuttle.

"I want to know exactly what happened next? And why are you hiding the truth?"

"Nothing else happened after that. Blood Spirit was destroyed by the box you threw out, while True Blood Palace was taken away by the powerful demons."

What else would you like to know?

Why did you leave me back then?

"Because Blood Spirit only invited me in, otherwise I, without the bloodline of the demon race, would not have been able to enter the True Blood Heavenly Palace at all. As for the Praying Spirit White Crane, that is a special case."

"Where's Tsuruha?"

"He is a fusion of Huo Yan's soul and a trace of the true Blood Central Realm's spirit. It was only because of him that the Blood Central Realm's spirit was able to successfully separate from the Blood Spirit's body. Moreover, it promised to cultivate He Yu into the next Blood Central Realm's spirit."

"Is that so? Then what about Huo Yan's letter?"

"I'm afraid only Tsuruha's grandfather would know the answer to this."

"Do you know where the white fox beside me went? She still owes me a lot of money! By the way, she's that spirit fox statue."

Since Tu Shan Chuchu left him, he noticed that the blood-red pattern on his chest was gradually fading, while the teleportation array pattern of the Kunyuan Secret Realm reappeared.

In short, he still has to pay back the money.

"She should have gone back to Tushan with the True Blood Heavenly Palace. She originally wanted to take you with her, but I stopped her."

"Fortunately, thanks to you, Xiao Yi, I really don't know what I would have done if I had been taken to the demon race." Shen Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"So how do you plan to compensate me? They all received your reward, so I think I should too!" Li Xiaoyi looked at Shen Xu with a hint of amusement.

"I've already given you the spiritual treasure, what else do you want?" Shen Xu was somewhat shocked.

"Didn't you say that Yun Yao's jade hairpin originally belonged to me? And Sister Yun Yao said that it's an insult to her that she's stayed in the hands of a philanderer like you for so long."

"I didn't do anything! Bailu went to great lengths to save us, shouldn't I do something in return?"

"I saved you from that white fox's jaws, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"

"Speak! What do you want?" Shen Xu asked somewhat helplessly.

Blue Star's experience taught him never to reason with a woman who has no intention of reasoning with you.

"I also want a wooden carving of a white crane that prays for life!"

"You should have said so earlier! This is not simple; I thought you wanted something else!"

"But you never gave me the cradle you promised me."

"Well... don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you in the next couple of days," Shen Xu said with a smile.

“Shen Xu, you…” Li Xiaoyi’s expression immediately turned cold.

"I want what you carved yourself, now get out!"

Seeing Li Xiaoyi's cold face, Shen Xu felt a little confused, but he was still happy that he didn't have to share a room with Li Xiaoyi.

After Shen Xu left, Li Xiaoyi asked, "Sister Yun Yao, do you think he did it unintentionally or intentionally?"

"Do you think he couldn't dodge when that girl tried to hug him, given his skills? If he really cared about you, he wouldn't give other girls a chance. You're just fooling yourself!"

"So what can I do to make him care about only me?"

"Impossible! The probability of a man like him caring only about one woman is lower than the probability of him eating only one dish at a banquet. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you're the only dish on his banquet table, which is impossible. Look how many girls are interested in him today."

Moreover, he is a spirit devourer. If he wants to survive and avoid falling into the demonic path, he must go to the void to find various powerful spirits. You cannot restrain him.

"The deeper the love, the deeper the hate. Letting go sooner is better for both of you. Otherwise, the last thing I want to see is you turning your love into hatred for him."

"Sister Yunyao, you're wrong. He likes me, and of course he likes Bailu and the others too, but it's far from love. It's more like lust at first sight. You can't expect someone who doesn't love me to be devoted to my feelings for him."

I don't care if other girls have feelings for him, because I know he wouldn't dare to do anything. What I care about is his attitude towards me.

He's afraid of me, though I don't know why. But he's been watching my expression all day, and with you, Sister Yunyao, around, I think I'm probably the second closest to his ideal of love.

"Second? Then who's first?" Yun Yao couldn't help but ask curiously.

“My sister!” Li Xiaoyi said slowly.

"So Xiao Yi, you have an older sister. Did she know Shen Xu before you did?"

"It should be. Although I don't know what happened between them, I can sense that my sister must be special to Shen Xu. Even I can't compare to her position in Shen Xu's heart."

However, my older sister is indeed much stronger than me, so even if I lose to her in the end, I'm probably able to accept it calmly!

"I don't believe there's a girl in the world more charming than you, Xiao Yi, even if that person is your sister."

"I'll take you to meet Sister Xueyi when I have time, and we can talk about this then. I haven't seen her in a long time. But if she knew that so many interesting things happened between me and Shen Xu, and that he even gave you, Sister Yunyao, to me, I'm sure her expression would be quite interesting."

"So, according to you, your older sister also has feelings for Shen Xu?" Yun Yao couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled.

"It's not just a feeling of liking!"

"What kind of spell has this guy cast on you guys? You all treat him like a treasure. If it were me, I would kick him away so he wouldn't disgust me by my side."

"I don't know either, but when I first met him, he gave me a very warm feeling, as if that warmth had been engraved in my soul until the moment I met him."

Due to my physical condition, everything around me has been cold since birth, even I myself am cold. I have never experienced warmth, and I am so immersed in it that I cannot extricate myself.

Sister Yunyao, you should know about the chill in my body. It's a chill that even cultivators in the Transcendent Realm avoid and that can touch the soul. Yet, when the chill was out of control, he brought me to your side, and afterwards he didn't say anything.

The Spirit of True Origin said he had never seen a Soul Devourer with such severe soul problems at the Qi Condensation Realm, and I think that's partly due to me.
