"Then we'll wait and see."

Feixiao didn't waste words with him, but simply led them back to Jade Spirit.

At this moment, Jade Spirit and her younger sister Jade Singing Luan were in a pavilion, chatting about something. Upon seeing Feixiao appear, Jade Spirit first snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Feixiao's previous behavior.

But then she noticed the two blood-soaked male leech demons she was dragging along.

What are you doing?

Before Jade Spirit could speak, Jade Singing Luan frowned and asked, while immediately treating her clansmen.

Although male leech demons usually don't have much of a presence, they are still part of the leech demons, and they are naturally unhappy to see their kin suffer such a fate.

Even if the fox demon in front of me and my sister have a romantic relationship...

But this is absolutely not a right to harm her fellow tribesmen.

Jade Spirit frowned as well, but she looked at Feixiao. Feixiao wouldn't attack his own people for no reason, would he?

Could it be that they've offended her?

But aren't these male leech demons usually very cautious? How did they manage to provoke her?

"Before you treat them, you should ask them how they harmed your apprentice."

Noticing Jade Singing Luan's actions, Feixiao spoke calmly.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Jade Singing Luan stopped healing the two of them, looked up at Feixiao, and then looked at the male leech demon in front of her with a puzzled expression.

They betrayed their own apprentice? What happened?

"You're spouting nonsense."

"It was clearly you who deceived Xiao Tan. We tried to persuade you, but you beat us up like this, and now you're accusing us of being the guilty party."

Upon hearing Feixiao's words, the two male leech demons, with blood in their mouths, recounted Feixiao's evil deeds to the Jade Singing Luan sisters in an extremely pitiful voice.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again. Did I say it was Cuiyu Xiaotan?"

"Xiao Tan? What happened to Xiao Tan?!"

Jade Singing Luan's expression immediately tensed up. Cuiyu Xiaotan was one of her first disciples and one of the disciples she cared about the most.

Hearing bad news from her, he naturally became nervous.

"Lord Mingluan, there's something wrong with this fox demon. We overheard her deliberately deceiving Xiao Tan by the lake earlier..."

Without giving Feixiao a chance to answer, one of the male leech demons immediately began to falsely accuse her.

Moreover, they spoke with great conviction, directly pinning the blame for what they had done on Feixiao.

Chapter 13: They even went after my sister!

As a water spirit, the leech demon can live in water like a water sprite. Most of the time, some leech demons prefer to stay in lakes.

In the story he made up, they were resting in the lake when they overheard Feixiao talking to Cuiyu Xiaotan looked conflicted.

They originally had no intention of asking, since they all knew that Feixiao was a guest of Cuiyuling, the Jade Spirit, and that he was probably related to Tushan.

Guests should naturally be treated with courtesy...

It was only after they overheard words like "blood transfusion" that they couldn't resist the urge to get closer and eavesdrop.

After all, the Blood Exchange Secret Art is an important secret technique of the Hiru Demon clan and must be taken seriously.

Only after they got closer did they discover that this fox demon was actually colluding with humans and was even eyeing their leech demon clan's Blood Exchange Secret Art.

Later, they couldn't help but jump out to try and stop the fox spirit in front of them, but Feixiao beat them up like this. Now, the fox spirit is accusing them first and turning around to bite them.

"Lord Mingluan, as you know, we are all of the same clan. How could we possibly do something so rebellious as to harm our own kind?"

"It's this fox demon. She harbors ill intentions towards our clan's secret techniques and has deceived the kind-hearted Xiao Tan."

The male leech demon endured the physical pain, looking indignant as if he had been greatly wronged, while at the same time displaying an air of righteous indignation that he would not allow others to harm his fellow tribesmen.

Even Feixiao, who was listening nearby, felt as if he had really said what he had just said.

No one else even needs to think about it.

Thinking of this, Feixiao turned his gaze to Jade Spirit and the other person.

At this moment, the sisters Jade Singing Luan and Jade Spirit finished listening to the words of the male leech demon in front of them. Jade Spirit did not express her opinion, but looked at Feixiao with a half-smile, revealing nothing about her thoughts.

But Feixiao could sense that she didn't believe these words; she just... wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

Upon hearing this, Jade Singing Luan's expression turned grim, as she was still quite unfamiliar with Feixiao and only knew that he had an unusual relationship with her sister.

Although these two male leech demons had little presence in the village, they were still leech demons, and she found it hard to believe that they would betray their kind and do something to harm them.

"Miss Feixiao, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

With a serious look in her eyes, Jade Singing Luan questioned Feixiao.

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"

Seeing Jade Singing Luan's attitude, Feixiao remained very calm.

The two male leech demons on the ground were delighted to see that their words had worked. Sure enough... compared to Feixiao, an outsider, Jade Singing Luan trusted her own people more.

However, when they looked at Jade Spirit, the king of leeches, they found that she did not seem to have made any statement.

He already disliked female leech demons, and his aversion to Jade Spirit, the leech demon king, grew even stronger.

If they weren't so powerless, they would have loved to kill her right now and sell her to those people, to see if she would still be so nonchalant.

"Miss Feixiao, although you are my sister's guest, you shouldn't go too far in your actions."

Seeing Feixiao's reaction, Jade Singing Luan couldn't help but get a little angry.

She is especially worried about the safety of Cuiyu Xiaotan.

"Alright, Mingluan, don't jump to conclusions without concrete evidence."

Jade Spirit, who was originally watching the commotion, subconsciously felt a little displeased upon hearing her younger sister's words.

Although she was somewhat resentful of Feixiao's previous attitude and his sudden departure, she wasn't really very angry.

I just wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

As for the words of these two male leech demons, based on her understanding of Feixiao, it was absolutely impossible.

Feixiao were truly interested in the Blood Exchange Secret Art, there wouldn't be any problem with her simply passing it on to her; she had absolutely no need to do such a thing...

Cultivating the Blood Exchange Secret Art is not something that can be accomplished simply by being taught; it also requires cultivation with a leech demon.

"Elder sister..."

Hearing Jade Spirit's words, which clearly favored Feixiao, Jade Singing Luan was a little confused.

Jade Spirit had never cared too much about anyone before, but now her sister's level of attention to this fox demon was a bit beyond her imagination.

But Xiao Tan's situation and the matter of the Blood Exchange Secret Art are no small matters...

"As my guest, I still trust Miss Feixiao's character."

Jade Spirit interrupted Jade Singing Luan, and after speaking, she deliberately gave Feixiao a resentful look, as if to say: Look how much I trust you.

On the contrary, you treated her that way before, don't you feel guilty?

"..."

Feixiao naturally noticed Jade Spirit's gaze and realized that his previous behavior was indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, despite having only known each other for a short time, this leech king trusted him far too much.

And that wasn't enough; Jade Spirit's next words were even more devastating.

"Besides, if she were truly interested in the Blood Exchange Secret Art, I could have given it to her directly; there would have been no need for this..."

Compared to the secret within Feixiao, the Blood Exchange Secret Art, though the core of the Leech Demon Clan, was not as important to Jade Spirit.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Jade Singing Luan and the two male leech demons on the ground changed instantly.

"Sister, you..."

Jade Singing Luan looked at her older sister in surprise. She couldn't understand how her usually composed sister could say such a thing.

For the sake of the person he loves, he is even willing to give the Blood Exchange Secret Art directly to outsiders.

Thinking of this, Jade Singing Luan turned to look at Feixiao beside her, wondering what kind of magic she possessed that could even make her own sister like this.

Although she is a fox spirit, she is clearly a female fox!

She could understand a vixen seducing a man, but this vixen had actually succeeded in seducing her own sister.

'Damn it, that disgusting bitch!!'

The male leech demons on the ground were no longer as happy as before; they stared intently at the Jade Spirit.

He cursed her in his heart, how could the King of Leeches go to such lengths for an outsider, especially a female fox?

He is utterly unworthy to be the king of the Hirudo clan.

But now they can only rage helplessly inside, lacking the courage to utter insults.

"I've said all I need to say, Miss Feixiao, aren't you going to say anything?"

Ignoring the distorted faces of the two male leech demons, Jade Spirit walked to Feixiao's side and deliberately approached him, asking in a teasing tone.

To outsiders, it seemed that she had truly fallen for Feixiao, but only she knew her true feelings.

As the Queen of the Hirudo Demons, she wasn't a lovesick fool, so how could she fall for someone so quickly?

Even if this person is extremely outstanding...

However, she was very interested in Feixiao, and even cared about it.

"You... why don't you see for yourselves!"

Noticing the gazes of those around him, Feixiao pushed Jade Spirit away.

Although Jade Spirit's actions were quite endearing, she didn't believe that this Leech King would actually fall in love with her like Nian Ai Nao did.

Perhaps they are more interested in special white mice.

Even though many female demons in this world are very simple-minded, they might commit to a lifetime based on a single word or action. They might even wait for decades or centuries, just to be Reincarnation and Continuation of Fate with their beloved.

But this absolutely does not include the Jade Spirit before us...

As he spoke, Feixiao took out the Jade Omen he had drawn earlier and turned on the floating screen of the recording, playing back his previous experiences, including the conversation between the two male leech demons and the situation of Cuiyu Xiaotan.

Having witnessed their situation with Cuiyu Xiaotan, Feixiao had guessed the general outline of the matter and prepared a recording in advance, thus eliminating the need for her to explain anything.

This is also why she completely disregarded what the two male leech demons had said before.

Even if Jade Spirit doesn't say anything in her defense, it doesn't matter.

"This is..."

Just as Jade Spirit was about to ask a question about the Jade Omen that Feixiao had taken out, she saw the content of the projection in mid-air.

Looking at the content projected on the light screen, Jade Spirit squinted her eyes and roughly guessed what it was. This should be a kind of magical artifact that can record images.

Humans are not as strong as Demon Race, but the magical artifacts they forge are incredibly diverse and bizarre.

Jade Spirit wouldn't be surprised by the appearance of any strange Magic Treasure artifacts or tools, because she had seen too many of them, even the legendary Magic Treasure.

"Since that's the case... what else do you have to say?"

After watching the video, Jade Spirit looked expressionlessly at the two male leech demons on the ground.

As the Queen of the Hiru Demons, she also bore responsibility for the traitor within her own ranks. However, her sister was far more troubled at this moment...

Jade Spirit looked at her younger sister Jade Singing Luan beside her. She saw that Cui Yumingluan's hands were clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent towards the two male leech demons for the first time.

Cuiyu Xiaotan was one of her most beloved students, but she was deceived and framed by her own clansmen.

"... Hahahaha, what else is there to say? That's right! I feel disgusted just looking at you guys. If I could... I'd kill you all!!"

Seeing the projection displayed by the Jade Omen that Feixiao took out, the male leech demon's heart was almost cold. He realized that he was not going to survive, so he simply stopped pretending.

In particular, the male leech demon named Ayu made no attempt to hide his disgust and aversion towards Jade Singing Luan.
