In the empty and dark palace, the cold floor tiles reflected the frost, and the cold air spread through the sleeves, moving with the swaying figures.

Qing Ye was lying lazily on his side, half leaning on the bed, supporting his cheek with one hand, his long black hair flowing down his shoulders and falling slightly together with his black robe.

His other hand was playing with Bai Qiu's hair.

The little girl was entangled in vines and couldn't roll around. She was lying on her side with her back to him, quietly and motionless. Even her breathing was so...unsteady.

Whether you are really sleeping or fake is clear at a glance.

Qing Ye didn't care whether she could sleep or not. Who knew what a girl of this age was hiding, why she was so nervous even to sleep. He could clearly hear her heavier breathing even if he moved slightly.

Are you afraid of him?

Qing Ye leaned comfortably against the head of the bed and closed his eyes. His head didn't hurt at the moment, and he felt particularly relaxed, staring into space in a daze.

My mind was empty for a while, and I suddenly said to myself: "...It's so boring."

Bai Qiu stiffened.

Bored? Is he talking about her? He must be tired of her!

"Eating is boring, sleeping is boring, being in a daze is boring, and sitting all day long is boring." Qing Ye ran his fingers through her soft hair and said quietly: "Living is so boring."

Bai Qiu:??? Life is so interesting!

He does look bored though.

"It still hurts to be alive, but I can't sleep. That stupid snake even tried to persuade me to live, saying that it hurt a little to commit suicide." Qingye snorted softly: "Actually, he was afraid that after I died, the demons would be surrounded and suppressed by those righteous people."

Bai Qiu: You live a truly transparent life.

"I wanted to take revenge, but I ended up lying there for a thousand years without realizing it. The old guys were all dead, and what was left was a group of self-righteous brats who were too lazy to play with them, and it wouldn't be a pleasure to kill them."

Bai Qiu: You call the boss and the others brats???

"What kind of Lingyun Sect? I had never heard of it a thousand years ago. How could such a novice sect come from, and a little brat dares to call it ancestor?"

Bai Qiu: My own school was shot.

"When I was surrounded and suppressed by those people, at any rate, all of them had reached the stage of becoming gods. Now there are not many who have transformed into gods. The righteous path is becoming more and more useless."

Bai Qiu: This seems to be a problem.

There was a rustling sound behind her, and the devil sat up straight slightly. His cold hand rested on the top of her hair, stroking it back and forth, seemingly addicted.

"Fortunately, I have someone to accompany me now." The devil sighed quietly: "I've been tired of watching Xuan Xie for a thousand years."

Bai Qiu: To be honest, she doesn’t want to accompany him.

She was just taken by force.

However, Bai Qiu was a little surprised. She thought that an invincible demon like him, respected and feared by the world, should live a very free and unrestrained life. It turns out that living for such a long time would be really boring. She always thought that cultivation was the world's

No one is bored, they only know how to practice.

Bai Qiu seemed to be pretending to be asleep, but in fact she was turning her eyes away from him and her mind was very active. When he said something, she would complain in her heart, thinking that she was pretending well.

The hand on top of her head slowly spread its fingers, inserted them into her fluffy hair, and messed up her bun.

Bai Qiu tensed up and continued to pretend not to be awakened by his torment. The demon messed up her hair. As if it was fun, he held her hair in the palm of his hand and rubbed it back and forth.

Qing Ye looked at her stiff back and slowly showed a malicious smile.

He whispered: "Xiao Bai..."

Her breath hitched.

Just when she almost lost her breath, she heard him add another word slowly.

"……Autumn."

Bai Qiu: "..."

Hmm? Xiao Baiqiu?

After saying this, the devil couldn't hold it back, he laughed loudly, fell to one side and covered his forehead while laughing.

"..." Bai Qiu continued to pretend to be asleep.

She was so stubborn that she didn't hear it.

The current situation is probably that they know each other's identity, but he pretends that he doesn't know, she pretends not to know, he doesn't know, he pretends not to know, she knows that he already knows, everyone has a tacit understanding, and they don't know.

I know what a weird relationship this is.

Bai Qiu was confused the whole time, especially when he deliberately teased her like this every day.

But at least I had a bed, and the problem of eating and sleeping could be solved. Although the solution was a bit strange, for Bai Qiu, there were no obstacles in life that were difficult to overcome, so in the next few days, she was very obedient and cooperative.

She was either practicing or sleeping from morning to night. Occasionally, the big devil looked at her with a bit of relief and helplessness in his eyes.

Bai Qiu:???What are you helpless about?

She found that her brain circuits might be different from his, but she didn't force it. A little trash like her didn't want to understand the big man's spiritual world at all. She just wanted to return to a normal life as soon as possible and be her own happy salted fish.

Practice Dan every day and bask in the sun.

If you don't count force-feeding and tying her up to sleep, the boss treats her pretty well, and he is worthy of his image as a little brother in her mind.

In addition to occasionally being moody, not to mention violent incidents such as killing people and torturing snakes, Bai Qiu has already developed a habit of taking a few bites of the painkillers made by Krypton Bai Qiu, just like candy, and Bai Qiu's family is ruined

It was almost eaten up by him.

During this time, Bai Qiu was preparing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

She really wasn't that fast in the first place. She simply endured pain that she shouldn't have at this age just because this big boss personally helped her... Bai Qiu was on the verge of tears. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Although she had some cultivation, she had no idea how to survive the calamity. She was caught here before she even had time to learn the common sense about foundation building.

She only knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was a must-have. The Foundation Establishment Pill could help her survive the thunderstorm.

Then, the problem came out.

——Where can I get the Foundation Building Pill?

Bai Qiu didn't dare to ask Qing Ye. Although her little brother always answered all her questions before, she was frightened when she saw him, so she privately asked the female demon cultivator who served Qing Ye, and even asked Xuan Xie.

Everyone's reaction was the same, with the attitude of "this kind of thing happened too long ago and I don't remember it", as if what Bai Qiu asked was not how to build a foundation, but whether they wet the bed when they were three years old.

The foundation building period...is it really far away from them?

Real-name rookie Bai Qiu fell into deep thought.

Bai Qiu began to worry and was a little distracted during the day. As a result, one time, she climbed out of bed and put on her shoes before she woke up. She found that her jade slip had fallen out while sleeping, so she took the jade slip directly without looking at it.

Just leave.

I didn't notice at all that this jade slip didn't look right.

After she ran to a place where no one was around, she tried to open it, but it couldn't be opened.

Bai Qiu: "???!!!"

A jade slip is actually a spiritual weapon that identifies its owner. Generally speaking, only one person can open a jade slip, but Bai Qiu's jade slip is special. After Qing Ye accidentally discarded the jade slip, he replaced it with a new one.

, and at the same time cut off the connection with the old jade slip. Without the owner, the jade slip was accidentally opened by Bai Qiu.

Therefore, only she can open their jade slips. Of course, Bai Qiu doesn't know if Qingye can open hers.

In short, she probably took Qing Ye's jade slip by mistake.

Bai Qiu: "..."

She felt that she might be stupid, and thought that maybe Qingye hadn't woken up yet and hadn't realized anything was wrong, so she quickly slipped back quietly.

Qingye was still sitting by the bed and taking a nap.

She took out the jade slip hidden in her sleeve and quietly approached Qing Ye.

Qing Ye's Qingjun face was hidden in the darkness, and his curled eyelashes cast a shadow. His face was much paler than before. In such a dark environment, it was actually gleaming white, like cold white jade.

.

Bai Qiu remembered that his old illness had recurred recently. He always frowned when he was in pain, and even now his eyebrows were slightly frowned.

It must hurt a lot.

Bai Qiu heard someone say that the wounds on his body penetrated deep into his soul. His vitality was seriously injured a thousand years ago, and he had been cultivating for a thousand years. He didn't expect that it had taken so long and he still wasn't healed.

Bai Qiu has always had a complicated attitude toward him.

Reason made her stay away from such dangerous people and just return to normal life and be ordinary. But subjectively, she clearly remembered all the grievances and excitement she had shared with him. When she was bullied, when she was in deep trouble, and even

When she had insomnia at night, he was always with her.

But she didn't want to bet, bet on whether a person was sincere or not. When he got tired of it in the future, she would be desperate.

Xu is influenced by the living environment before entering the book, and the reason why Bai Qiu has lived alone these years. The person she trusts the most is always herself.

It's useless to rely on anyone. Her parents and friends can't see her grievances. Her cannon fodder adoptive father will only sell her to a brothel. If she doesn't obey in the brothel, she will be beaten. She finally escapes. The senior sisters treat her with kindness, but they are calculating.

In order to frame her, even the leader, who had always been highly respected, suddenly began to pay attention to her, but just to use her to please the devil.

Because of her outstanding appearance, many of her fellow disciples had fallen in love with her in the past.
