So it turns out I'm the demon!

Chapter 261 Gourmet Xiao Jiang's Wish Fulfilled

Leaving the Black Prison Forest, Qiu Yuexin stopped and turned to Elder Xiao Jiu, who was still following behind her, and said:

"Take your injured tribesmen back to Qingqiu first."

Tell the Grand Elder that I have retrieved the sacred object. I have some personal matters to attend to, and I will return in a few days.

Although Elder Jiu was curious about what else the young lady wanted, after this series of frights and ordeals, he dared not ask. He could only bow respectfully and say:

"Yes, Xiaoyue... Miss. Please be careful, we'll take our leave now."

Qiu Yuexin's pretty face remained cold as she gave a faint "hmm".

Just as Elder Jiu turned to leave, Jiang Mu put his arm around his shoulder and smiled like a kind old father:

"Little Jiu, I need your help with something small."

"Brother Jiang, just say the word. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will do it without hesitation!"

Elder Jiu patted his chest and said.

Ever since being stunned by Jiang Mu's strength and overwhelmed by the life-saving grace, he now has a real urge to treat Jiang Mu like his own father.

"It's not that serious."

Jiang Mu leaned close to Elder Xiao Jiu's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Elder Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded emphatically:

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, leave this to me. I'll definitely keep an eye on things for you! Also... Brother Jiang, I'm not kidding, I really like men now." Looking at the other man's adoring yet somewhat inexplicable gaze, Jiang Mu felt a chill and kicked him in the butt.

"Get lost!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here right away!"

Elder Nine let out a howl and led his demon subordinates away in a hurry.

Qiu Yuexin looked at him with a strange expression:

Why is he listening to you so much now? What did you say to him?

"It's nothing."

Jiang Mu straightened her collar, looking righteous. "He just thought I was handsome and said that there were many fox girls in the Qingqiu tribe who were prettier than the young lady, so he insisted on introducing me to them."

"impossible!"

Qiu Yuexin immediately retorted, "That guy is talking nonsense! No one in Qingqiu is better than me... anyway, there isn't!"

The girl looked defiant, her red lips slightly pouting, making her look incredibly cute.

The fox spirit of Qingqiu is very beautiful, but her beauty is unparalleled within the clan.

Jiang Mu smiled and said:

"Yes, that's what I thought too. So I firmly rejected him on the spot."

I made it clear to him that in my heart, Yue'er's beauty and status are absolutely unique and unmatched.

I wouldn't even bother to glance at other vixens!

Hearing Jiang Mu's words, Qiu Yue felt goosebumps all over her body.

She muttered "slick talker" under her breath, then her body twisted and transformed into a pink nine-tailed fox.

"Stop talking nonsense and get on me!"

The pink fox turned its fluffy head and said coldly, "I'll take you somewhere!"

Then she looked at Ling Ye beside her, her tone softening slightly:

"Sister Ling, you come along too."

More than an hour later.

Led by Qiu Yuexin, the group passed through layers of mist at the edge of the swamp and arrived at an ordinary cliff.

The cliff was bare, covered with some common weeds.

There was nothing unusual about it.

However, Qiu Yuexin stopped in front of the cliff.

The girl transformed back into human form, stepped forward, gently placed her delicate white hand on the rough cliff face, closed her eyes, and silently recited a few incantations. The next moment...

Ripples of water spread across the cliff face, rapidly expanding outwards to form a dark blue portal.

"Let's go."

Qiu Yuexin turned around and called out before stepping into the water-patterned light gate.

After passing through the portal of light, the view suddenly opened up before my eyes.

Jiang Mu felt a refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms wafting towards her.

He stared intently, then froze on the spot.

This is a secluded paradise.

Before them lay a tranquil lake, its waters crystal clear, like a giant sapphire.

In the very center of the lake is a small island.

There was a huge peach tree growing there.

The peach trees seemed to have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, their branches and leaves flourishing and blocking out the sun.

The peach blossoms on the trees were in full bloom, and the pink petals, blown by the breeze, were like a pink snowflake, fluttering and swirling, a beautiful sight that seemed like a dream.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Jiang Mu's pupils involuntarily contracted.

This place... how come it's so similar to the divine realm that "Lady Peach Blossom" took him to?

It's like a replica.

The only difference is that behind the huge peach tree, by the water, stands an exquisite two-story pavilion.

The entire pavilion is constructed of purple bamboo, with upturned eaves and corners, exuding a refined and elegant charm.

"This is a secret place I discovered by chance."

Qiu Yuexin explained softly, "However, there aren't any rare or precious treasures here."

"I just thought this place had a pretty nice view, and it would be good for quiet retreats, so I built a little house here." "Did you build that attic yourself?"

Jiang Mu pointed to the purple bamboo pavilion, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I built it myself."

Qiu Yuexin's cheeks flushed slightly, but with a sense of pride, she said modestly, "It's just that my skills aren't very good, and the cover doesn't look very nice. Please don't laugh at me."

"It really doesn't look good," Jiang Mu said.

The girl's face immediately fell.

Jiang Mu said, "It's mainly because you're too beautiful. This house doesn't suit you. It's more suitable for a rough guy like me. Hmm, from now on, this will be my private sleeping place."

"You wish!"

Qiu Mingxin rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she turned to look at Ling Ye, who was admiring the peach blossoms, her tone apologetic:

"Sister Ling, please feel free to browse around. I... have something I need to give to Jiang Mu separately, which may take a little longer."

After fighting side by side, the girl's attitude towards Ling Ye had improved considerably.

It's no longer as hostile as it used to be.

Ling Ye smiled understandingly, a hint of gentleness appearing in his cool and aloof eyes:

"It's alright, the scenery here is extremely beautiful, and it's rare to find such tranquility. You two go ahead and attend to your business; I'll just wander around the area." Seeing that Ling Ye had no objections, Qiu Yuexin pulled Jiang Mu's sleeve and headed straight for the second floor of the Purple Bamboo Pavilion.

I went up to the second floor and pushed open the bamboo door.

The furnishings inside the house were extremely simple, even rudimentary.

There was only a wooden bed covered with a neat bamboo mat, a low square table by the window, and a few futons.

There wasn't even a proper grooming.

The room was filled with a fragrant aroma that was a blend of a young girl's natural scent and the scent of peach blossoms.

"Go over there, lie down on that bed, and take off your clothes."

As soon as she entered the house, Qiu Yuexin closed the door behind her and then gave Jiang Mu a command.

Halfway through her sentence, she added, "Just take off your top, don't take it all off."

"I know, I know the rules."

Jiang Mu chuckled and quickly took off his shirt, revealing his strong and muscular upper body.

He walked happily to the bamboo bed and obediently lay down on it.

The man sighed inwardly:

This girl really knows how to create a romantic atmosphere. She even chose such a picturesque, secluded pavilion for her massage, the ambiance is just perfect.

However, when he turned his head, he saw Qiu Yuexin take out a jade bottle and pour some colorless liquid, similar to oil, into her palm. Then she put her two small hands together and quickly rubbed them together to generate heat.

"Holy crap?"

Jiang Mu was stunned, her eyes widening.

"How come you know how to do back massage? That's quite a professional technique. Where did you take courses to learn it?"

Qiu Yuexin blinked her clear, big eyes, looking completely bewildered: "What? Where did you learn that?"

She was too lazy to explain further to this guy.

She walked to the bedside, bent down, and gently placed her slender, jade-like hands, which were slightly warm from friction and covered with mysterious oil, on Jiang Mu's broad, muscular back.

"hiss"

Jiang Mu felt a warm, moist touch on her back.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuexin slowly closed her eyes and began to mutter incantations.

The seemingly obscure secret language of the Qingqiu fox clan.

"What are you doing now?" Jiang Mu was even more confused.

Wasn't it supposed to be a massage?

Are they chanting incantations and forming hand seals to seal me away?

Just as he was filled with doubt, Jiang Mu suddenly felt a strange warmth coming from Qiu Yuexin's hands that were pressed against his back.

Immediately afterwards, a pure and gentle aura slowly seeped into his body through the pores of his skin.

It began to flow gently along the meridians on his back.

It has a refreshing feeling that cleanses the soul.

"Don't move."

Qiu Yuexin said softly.

Then, Jiang Mu felt a slight chill on her back.

The girl magically produced a thin brush that wasn't dipped in ink, and then put it in her mouth and smacked her lips.

She bent down and began to write on Jiang Mu's back.

Each stroke was drawn with utmost care.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Mu couldn't help but ask, her voice muffled against the pillow, "Should I write 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty' on my back?"

"Shut up, don't move!"

Qiu Yuexin patted the man on the back and continued writing diligently.

The girl's warm breath, like wisps of fine feathers, continuously sprayed onto Jiang Mu's neck and shoulder blades, bringing waves of tingling sensation.

After a long while, Qiu Yue finally put down her pen.

Then, she gently blew a breath of orchid fragrance onto the area that had just been outlined.

"call"

As the scent of fox spirit wafted by, Jiang Mu felt the warm, flowing sensation on her back solidify.

It was as if something had been completely imprinted into his flesh and blood.

Qiu Yuexin straightened up and nodded her head in satisfaction: "Hmm, mission accomplished, not bad."

"What the hell did you draw? Let me take a look."

Jiang Mu saw a bronze mirror nearby, so she picked it up and turned to look at herself.

I looked at it from left to right, but after a long time I still couldn't figure it out.

Aside from being slightly red from being pressed down by Qiu Yuexin's palm for a long time, the skin was clean and there wasn't even a single ink stain.

"There's nothing there?"

Jiang Mu put down the mirror, looking completely bewildered.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about what it is."

Qiu Yuexin said in a serious tone, "I just used a unique technique of our Qingqiu clan to nourish your body, which is good for you. It can strengthen your body and prolong your life. Others would beg me for this."

Although the girl spoke very seriously, Jiang Mu didn't quite believe her.

He examined the mirror carefully for a long time, but still found nothing.

Forget it, whatever, this girl won't hurt me anyway.

Jiang Mu simply didn't bother to investigate further, tossed the mirror aside, and lay back down on the bamboo bed, urging:

"The foreplay's done, shouldn't we get down to business now?"

Qiu Yuexin pursed her rosy lips and reluctantly reached out her hands to casually pinch his shoulders.

"Is this your foot? Put some effort into it."

Jiang Mu turned her head and complained, "What's the difference between this and scratching an itch?"

"I'm not going to stomp on people!"

Qiu Yuexin increased the pressure on her hand, somewhat angrily retorting, "Besides, we foxes have four hooves, so why should I step on you?"

Uh.

Jiang Mu was speechless for a moment.

This girl's thought process is sometimes so unique that it's hard to argue with her.

He simply sat up and patted the bed beneath him:

"Come here, lie down here, I'll step on you first to show you what a real massage is. Today, I'll teach you what a genuine massage is for free."

"No!"

Qiu Yuexin was so frightened that she jumped back two steps and resolutely refused.

What a joke.

How could she, the dignified young lady of Qingqiu, lie on the bed and let a man step on her back?

What kind of system is this?

Just thinking about that scene is unbearable.

Qiu Yuexin gritted her teeth, reached out her jade-like hand, and forcefully pressed Jiang Mu back onto the bed, saying somewhat angrily:

"Want a massage?"

"You want to step on me, huh? Fine, it's not me who's going to get hurt!"

As she spoke, the girl sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and took off her delicate little leather boots and stockings.

Two delicate, white feet were exposed to the air.

The girl's arches were like the rising moon, her bones were slender and delicate, and blue veins were faintly visible beneath her snow-white skin. Her toes resembled five newly peeled lotus seeds.

When lightly budded, they resemble unopened buds, indescribably charming and lovely.

Before actually pressing the acupoint, Qiu Yuexin even made a hand seal.

She summoned a cloud of clear water vapor and washed her feet thoroughly, afraid that this guy would find an excuse to dislike her later.

After washing up, the girl stood on the bed.

She took a deep breath, carefully raised one foot, and placed it on Jiang Mu's broad and sturdy back.

Although the girl was saying tough things, saying she would stomp on this bastard and make him feel bad.

But when her soft soles actually touched the man's warm skin, Qiu Yuexin instinctively restrained her strength.

The delicate sensation on the soles of her feet made Jiang Mu groan softly.

I didn't feel the stomp.

It was more like two graceful butterflies were fluttering on his back.

"Move a little to the left..."

"Yes, right there, stomp down hard... Don't shake, keep your balance."

"Didn't you eat?"

Jiang Mu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, giving orders in a very bossy manner.

"Shut up!"

Qiu Yue was furious and, in a fit of pique, increased the pressure on her feet.

The small heel pressed hard on the acupoints on Jiang Mu's back several times.

"Hiss! Yes, yes, that's the feeling! Awesome! A little more to the left, down to the waist, a couple more kicks..."

Jiang Mu not only didn't cry out, but instead let out a long sigh of enjoyment.

The girl blushed and scolded him for being "unruly," but she still obediently adjusted the position of the foot pedal.

The movements were still somewhat clumsy and awkward.

Occasionally, it would sway back and forth on Jiang Mu's back due to its unstable center of gravity.

The scene was quite comical.

Amidst this interaction, which was a mix of scolding and guidance, a warm atmosphere permeated the simple bamboo pavilion. They fussed over it for a full half hour.

Qiu Yue was so exhausted that beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose before she finally ended this arduous service.

Jiang Mu turned over, the pretty girl with a flushed face mockingly:

"This massage technique is really terrible, you need to practice more. Tsk tsk, you might as well become a fox and step on it, at least fox paws have soft pads." Qiu Yuexin, whose legs were already sore from exhaustion, was furious when she heard this ungrateful and dismissive remark.

The young girl's eyebrows furrowed, and she threatened fiercely:

"Jiang Mu! Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit! Believe me or not, I'll shove my foot in your mouth right now and shut your stinking mouth up!"

"Tch~"

Jiang Mu scoffed dismissively.

"Young Miss, how many times have you said that? When have you ever kept your word? Even if I gave you a few times the courage, you wouldn't dare." However, his provocative words had barely left his lips when...

Suddenly, a pink shadow flashed before my eyes.

Before Jiang Mu could react, she felt a tightness in her chin.

Immediately afterwards, a cool, slightly fragrant, and slightly icy object was forcefully shoved into his mouth.

"Huh?!"

Jiang Mu's eyes widened; she was completely stunned.

Qiu Yuexin, who acted impulsively, was also stunned.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The bamboo house was so quiet that only the sudden, heavy breathing of the two people could be heard.

A few seconds later, Qiu Yuexin finally realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, instinctively trying to pull her hand back.

The girl's face turned as red as an apple.

However, Jiang Mu grabbed the girl's slender ankle and mumbled indistinctly:

"...Don't move!"
