On a winding path, a slightly chubby girl with a baby face was hurrying along, carrying a small bamboo basket on her back.
Her basket was filled with quite a few things, but she had been strong since she was a child, so she didn't mind the weight.
This person was none other than Ji Li.
Her eyes had been swollen from crying a few days ago, and they had only completely recovered today.
After learning that Lu Xun had not died, she volunteered to take on the responsibility of taking care of Lu Xun.
Ji Li had now changed into the uniform of a Demon Sect Outer Sect Disciple, which could be considered standard attire.
In Earth terms, it could be affectionately called a school uniform.
The robes of the Demon Sect Outer Sect Disciples were simple, just black clothes, with no patterns on the cuffs and no other colors on the clothes.
Even the belt was black, outlining Ji Li's slender waist.
At the same time, the thinner the waist, the more it accentuated the magnificence of a certain area.
She was currently walking on the path to the Back Mountain Study.
Ji Li wore an inconspicuous jade stone around her waist, which was her pass, allowing her to enter and exit freely.
Logically speaking, as an Outer Sect Disciple, she was not qualified to enter the Back Mountain Study, but Lu Xun needed someone to take care of him at the moment, and she volunteered, so Mao Nanbei directly appointed her.
Otherwise, was she supposed to let me and Second Senior Sister take care of him?
I'm only good at chopping heads with a knife, I really don't know how to take care of people.
Compared to the outer peaks and main peaks of the Demon Sect, this mysterious place in the back mountain seemed more delicate.
Although this mountain was very high, higher than any of the main peaks, it inexplicably gave people a delicate feeling.
This feeling was very subtle, like seeing a woman who was over two meters tall, it would be difficult to describe her as delicate.
But after going up the mountain, the feeling in Ji Li's heart was even stronger.
This mountain was like a large potted plant, and it seemed that every part of it had been carefully trimmed.
Whether it was the stones in the mountains, or the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees, they all gave a sense of beauty.
Ji Li muttered, "I must be overthinking it, this mountain should just be like this. To carefully manage a mountain peak, how much time would that take? There's no one in the world who would waste time like that, right?"
She continued along the winding path for a while, and then saw a small stream.
There were some tiny fish and shrimp in the stream, all of the most common kind, but they seemed full of life.
There were a few large stones in the stream that people could step on to cross it.
She jumped lightly, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, hopping and skipping.
After crossing the stream, she had to pass through a bamboo forest.
Although she had only just started learning the Qi Devouring Art, she already knew a little bit of lightness skill. If this wasn't the legendary back mountain and she didn't have a sense of awe in her heart, she might have used her lightness skill to leap through the bamboo forest a few times.
"This large bamboo forest is really beautiful!"
Even though it wasn't her first time seeing it, she couldn't help but praise it in her heart.
Just the sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves was enough to keep her listening. She felt like she could sit quietly on a large rock in the bamboo forest all day.
When passing through the bamboo forest, just like every time before, she saw a woman meditating among the bamboo.
The woman was sitting cross-legged on a stone with her back to her.
Her clothes were also black, but for some reason, they felt like a black Daoist robe.
Her hair was also very black, but it was tied in a Daoist bun, and after putting her hair up, she also wore a simple wooden hairpin.
How to put it, she really gave people the feeling of a Daoist nun.
Every time Ji Li came, she was meditating in the bamboo forest.
When Ji Li left, she was still meditating.
Each time, she could only see a back view from afar, and she didn't even know what the other person looked like.
Bending at the waist, Ji Li, with a bamboo basket on her back, performed a bow. With her movement, the contents of the basket nearly spilled out, and she quickly adjusted it.
"Greetings, Martial Grand-Aunt."
After completing her greeting, she continued forward.
The first time she came to the Back Mountain, Mao Nanbei had led the way.
Upon seeing the nun-like woman and learning that she was Mao Nanbei's Second Senior Sister, Ji Li hurriedly bowed, but the other party didn't react at all.
The little loli later told her, "Second Senior Sister doesn't like to talk and prefers peace and quiet. After you bow, leave quickly and don't disturb her."
Passing through the bamboo forest, she saw the legendary Little Study.
The Little Study was indeed small, lacking any feeling of a celestial abode. Instead, it resembled a hermit's hut in the mountains.
Mao Nanbei was currently sitting on a rattan chair outside the hut, basking in the sun.
After all, she was a cat, and cats really liked sunbathing.
Her eyes were slightly narrowed, truly like a contented little kitten.
Ji Li bowed to her, "Greetings, Little Martial... uh, greetings, Martial Grand-Aunt."
Mao Nanbei nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to Little Martial Grand-Aunt, she preferred the title of Martial Grand-Aunt.
Where am I little?
Tell me, where am I little?
Newly transformed demons were more or less childlike and innocent, and children always wanted to be older.
"Although I lost a beautiful mount and inexplicably gained a Little Junior Brother, it feels pretty good." This was Mao Nanbei's inner thought.
My Junior Brother is good-looking, and taking him out would give me some face.
"Martial Grand-Aunt, may I go in?" Ji Li said to Mao Nanbei.
The little loli nodded, her cat ears twitching in the breeze as she continued to bask in the sun, looking lazy.
After entering the Little Study, Ji Li didn't dare to run around. Instead, she went straight into the room where Lu Xun was lying.
Lu Xun was still unconscious, but his body wasn't as mangled as before.
Sect Master Shen Yan, upon learning that Teacher had accepted this disciple, reluctantly fed his new Little Martial Grand-Uncle a rare spiritual pill.
People often used the phrase "bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones" to describe miraculous pills. This pill wasn't as powerful as the first three words suggested, but it could still accomplish the latter three.
When Shen Yan took it out, the surrounding peak masters were astonished.
He was already bald, without even eyebrows or eyelashes, and with a pained expression on his face, he looked like a tragic marinated egg.
But thanks to this pill, Lu Xun's body surface had at least recovered. His internal injuries hadn't fully healed yet, but they were getting there.
Ji Li's bamboo basket was filled with daily necessities, such as changes of clothes.
The Demon Sect had quotas for its disciples. Lu Xun's status was now high, and his daily necessities were far better than Ji Li's.
But once Ji Li's cultivation became more profound and she successfully became an Inner Sect disciple, things would improve greatly.
She took out the items from the bamboo basket, hung up Lu Xun's clothes, and neatly arranged the daily necessities.
Before her family was destroyed, she had been a young lady of the house, the kind who was served by others.
She had never served anyone in her life, but now she was willing to do so.
In fact, she was very unaccustomed to doing these things, but as soon as she saw Lu Xun's face, she was immediately filled with energy again.
She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and poured out a pill to feed Lu Xun.
This was also given by the Sect Master.
Lu Xun had to take one every three hours to help his injuries recover.
When her little fleshy hand touched Lu Xun's lips, her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
These pills melted in the mouth, otherwise Ji Li would have to think of a special way to get the unconscious Lu Xun to swallow it.
Why do I feel a little disappointed about this?
"So, what should I do next?" she wondered, looking at Lu Xun in her heart.
Did you all watch the military parade?
