Stealing the Immortal Herb!

Why wouldn't you want to?

Ning Shu thought to herself.

She couldn't have imagined changing everyone's fate by being by Qian Renxue's side.

It's no longer possible to get to Bibi Dong, so let's focus our attention on Qian Renxue.

"I want to!" she answered firmly.

Ke Xueqinghe looked at her and asked, "I did consider killing you back then. Now that you've remembered, aren't you afraid I'll start thinking about getting rid of you again?"

afraid?

That is impossible.

Ning Shu said, "I don't remember what happened back then very clearly, but my body tells me that she doesn't hold a grudge against you. Besides, we're in the same boat now, so why should I be afraid of you killing me? Even if you don't care that I'm your Crown Princess, you should at least spare me for my master's sake, shouldn't you?"

Xue Qinghe smiled after hearing this: "Yes, but not entirely."

"Then, are you going to kill me?" Ning Shu asked.

Xue Qinghe shook his head. "No."

"That's it then," Ning Shu said. "From the moment I decided to become your Crown Princess, my body and my heart have always been with you. No matter what you want to do, I will stand by your side."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

"."

Demon Slayer, listen, why does this sound so strange?

Anyone who didn't know better would think this person was confessing their love to Xue Qinghe.

"Ah Shu, speak properly," he said, frowning.

Ning Shu pouted, "I've been speaking properly the whole time, Master. Where have I not been speaking properly?"

"Is this how you talk properly?" Jiangmo retorted, then turned to Xue Qinghe and said, "Young Master, she sometimes acts a little strange. I'll need you to be more tolerant of her in the future."

"Yes, I can see that." Xue Qinghe nodded, not caring about anything.

It's just one more person.

Crown Princess?

Interesting.

Xue Qinghe smiled. "Grandpa Demon Slayer, is this what it is?"

The Demon Slayer said, "Besides this matter, there's the matter of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Young Master, I'll take A-Shu to that auspicious place she mentioned first. As for the Crown Princess matter, I'll let you know after everything is settled, okay?"

"Okay, sure," Xue Qinghe replied without saying anything else.

Ning Shu hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

Indeed, people with status are different!

【Yukiko, I'm here!】

"???"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback.

What is that?

What did she call me?

The demon slayer was also taken aback.

What Yukiko!

How could Ah Shu speak like that!

The demon glared at her fiercely: "A-Shu, speak properly!"

Ning Shu: "???"

No, she didn't say anything!

Seeing Ning Shu's innocent expression, Jiang Mo couldn't say anything. He pointed at Ning Shu, his expression complicated.

But Xue Qinghe seemed to understand from Jiangmo's reaction that not only she could hear it, but also Jiangmo's grandfather could hear it. Moreover, Ning Shu hadn't said anything at all. Could this be her inner thoughts?

Xue Qinghe smiled, how interesting.

"Alright, Ah Shu, let's go. I'll take you to your so-called treasure land to find treasures."

In order to prevent Ning Shu from causing any more trouble, the demon-slaying demon was determined to take her away.

What is this "Yukiko"? Is that a proper way to address someone?

"Oh, okay." Ning Shu didn't know what Jiang Mo suddenly meant, but he kept trying to get her to leave.

Forget it, I'll leave then. I'll have plenty of time to get closer to Xuezi later.

I never dreamed I could become the Crown Princess!

Ning Shu happily and cheerfully skipped away with the demon-slaying demon.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is located in Sunset Forest, which is within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. It doesn't actually take long to get to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

They didn't spend too much time in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace. It was still only afternoon, and the sun hadn't even set yet.

Winter passed and spring came, and the weather improved a bit. Ning Shu was a year older, and she looked different from before in many ways. She kept nagging on the way to exorcise demons, but Ning Shu let it go in one ear and out the other, mainly responding with "uh-huh," "okay," and "yes."

It was indeed perfunctory, but it was as if she hadn't listened carefully. When asked, she could repeat what Jiangmo had said. Jiangmo was speechless for a moment, wanting to teach her a lesson but not knowing what reason to use.

It seems that Ning Shu should learn more from her brother in the future, and not from Guang Ling.

Outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, poisonous plants grew in abundance, so Ning Shu simply draped a cloak over herself, wrapping herself up completely.

Seeing this, the demon-slaying demon couldn't help but retort, "Sorry, Ah Shu, was this really necessary?"

"Is it necessary? Of course it is! Master, you're level 96, and I'm only level 41. What if I get pricked to death by these poisonous plants?" Ning Shu pouted and hid behind the demon-slaying monk. "Master, this is someone's back garden. We're here to steal things, so let's not be so blatant."

"???"

The demon-slaying demon is filled with questions.

What is that?

Stealing?

"No, you asked me to bring you here just to steal things?" the demon-slaying spirit asked. "Why didn't you just do the stealing yourself? Why did you ask me to bring you here? What, are you planning to blame everything on me when things come to light?"

What kind of nonsense is this?!

I should have known better than to take this unlucky thing as my apprentice.

Ning Shu glanced at him sideways, then grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said, "Master, what are you saying? How could that be? This really is Dugu Bo's back garden. We took things from here without his permission, which is stealing. Do you, Master, intend to have a drink with him, take a bath together, and become good brothers?"

"Master, this is all unnecessary. If we don't take it, are we just going to let someone else benefit from it?"

Ning Shu kept talking.

Even after hearing this, the demon-slaying demon still refused, saying, "No, you can't steal it!"

"Then let's just take it openly, okay?" Ning Shu said. "Anyway, taking it in front of him is perfectly legitimate, isn't it?"

Demon Slayer: "..."

What the hell is that?

"Master, it's a small matter. We can just exchange it for something!" Ning Shu said, backing down. "We won't take it for nothing, right?"

"So what have you decided to offer in exchange?" the demon slayer asked.

"No," Ning Shu answered truthfully. "I never intended to exchange anything. It's just that you, Master, are unwilling, so you're the only one who has to exchange something, right?"

"..."

Demon Slayer: You're such an unlucky bastard!

"Don't be so smug, you'll see!"

Ning Shu patted his shoulder, and the two of them entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well one after the other.

A tranquil yet magnificent view unfolded before Ning Shu's eyes. Ning Shu released her grip on Jiang Mo's shoulder and gazed at the scenery.

Wow, it truly lives up to its name as the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire; it looks absolutely different!

Ning Shu scanned the area within half a mile of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and found that there seemed to be no one inside.

"What a coincidence? The old poisoner isn't here today?"

She muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, the demon slayer couldn't help but ask, "What are you whispering about?"

"He didn't say anything, Master. It seems like nobody's around. Come on, let's gather some immortal herbs!"
