Chapter Ninety-Four: Summer Sleep
The comer alarmed the silence of the glass house, and the twisted flowers grew rapidly, like conscious living beings, raising their beautiful flowers and stamens high and assuming an offensive posture.
But with the girl's gentle wave of her hand, the restless sea of flowers quieted down.
The light golden veil swayed in the wind, curling a beautiful arc, and the girl snorted coldly, not hiding her disdain at all.
"What is there to congratulate. ”
She seems to have an innate sense of superiority, and she should be so superior.
So much so that this is clearly condescending with a sarcastic tone, but anyone who sounds uncomfortable will feel uncomfortable, and will also have the idea of being disrespectful and too pretending to be on the other side. But when such words are spoken by her, it has a sense of naturalness, there is no disobedience, but it makes people feel that it should be so.
It was the pride and dignity peculiar to the ancient royal family.
The girl casually folded a mandala flower, and the red of the blood baptism reflected her fair and beautiful ankles. probably didn't really want to talk to death, even if it was very perfunctory, she had to perfunctory give the man a step, so the second half of the sentence became a rhetorical question.
"Isn't it planned that the oracle will be opened today?"
"There are many things in the world that change, and no matter how well you estimate them, you can't guarantee that they are foolproof. The man raised his eyes faintly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a light cough escaped from his throat, "Everything is exactly as you expected, and it is one step closer to the result we want, I should say congratulations to you, shouldn't I?"
The girl in the sea of flowers lazily fiddled with the mandala flowers in her hand and did not say anything more. I don't know if it's a tacit acquiescence to these words, or if I'm just too lazy to talk about these meaningless things, so I simply choose to keep silent.
If He Manzhou was present at this moment, she would definitely be surprised to see this girl.
The girl who is high above is clearly the little princess in the fantasy world.
And now, she's called Summer Sleep.
It's hard to go on with this kind of chat, just like a good woman can't cook without rice, and even a person who is very good at socializing can't make people who are not interested in him too much. But the man seemed to have already adapted to this, he didn't care too much about Xia Mian's attitude, but analyzed it on his own.
"They acted quickly, and the seal of Zhaohui Mountain was so hidden that it was found. Since He Manzhou opened the Tower of Babel and arrived at the tomb of the goddess, it means that she is the person we are looking for. ”
"Otherwise, it's already boring to go around in such a big circle. ”
""Ancient Pictures of Shantao Words", the Bai family's handwriting, and He Sheng's notes, we have left so many clues, but they have not failed these paved roads. Now that he is completely involved in the treasure of the goddess, it will be difficult to get out. We just need to let the two of them investigate, get back the goddess's battle clothes one by one, open the tomb that portends death, and then the rest of it, heh....... ”
"It couldn't be better. Xia Mian lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone was also light, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, how can I not return what the goddess owed me back then, and I will have to explain it after a long time." ”
"Whatever you want to do, I'll help you. ”
The man tugged at his hood, his tone flat as if he were promising something.
At this time, Xia Mian wanted to sneer and laugh at this mortal's incompetence. But the current situation is not enough for her to be so presumptuous, after all, this sea of flowers still needs to be guarded, and Bai Bai, who inadvertently woke up the sea of flowers back then, and then conspired side by side with her for the same purpose, and obviously admired her, is obviously the best candidate so far.
Not to mention that he is desperate enough, not to mention that he is still a member of the Bai family, and if he wants to awaken the goddess in the mirage, he must use the part of the clues about the treasure of the relict king that is kept by the Bai family. So whether it's using each other or knowing it, this partnership can only continue pathologically, and both of them have their own plans, and they can only reluctantly make it difficult.
In the end, a lot of irritability and perfunctory were swallowed, and Xia Mian just laughed.
"However, the plan went so smoothly thanks to the action of the head of the Bai family. ”
"You're saying, Bai Yicong?"
"Who else can there be besides him, your Bai family is indeed talented, back then, the senior who abducted the holy daughter of my Wu clan moved his heart, and now this family master is even more original, and even the person with "her" inheritance is about to get it, should I praise the ability of your Bai family?"
There is no clear meaning for girls, and of course the man named "White" can hear it.
"It sounds like sarcasm in disguise, but I'd love to take it as a compliment. Although I don't have much to do with the Bai family, I still have the most basic desire to maintain my own family. ”
A half-low chuckle overflowed from between the man's lips, his emotions were restrained, but it was only restraint, and he did not fall into any disadvantage. Just like the relationship between him and Xia Mian, it is clear that he is the weak party in terms of identity and status, but because of the blessing of specific occasions and many factors, he has become the only reliance of Princess Loulan.
What could be more difficult to refuse than sending charcoal in the snow when you are cornered?
Bai Shen knew that Xia Mian couldn't do without him now, just like Princess Loulan, who was high above, could only be bound in this sea of flowers, as long as she left the vitality given by the mandala flower, she was waiting for only death, so this kind of cooperation itself was not equal.
"So you're impressed with my Bai family, Amiens?"
"It's not impressive, it's just surprising. It turns out that not everyone is stupid, especially those of your Bai family...... Earlier, I was just the head of the Bai family, for example, the second master Bai who coveted the position of the head of the family, but a little clue about immortality was enough to make him mess up. ”
"Bai Yicong is much smarter than Bai Mu, otherwise he wouldn't be able to suppress the deadlock in the early years. ”
"You approve of him very much?" Xia Mian raised his eyebrows, and the rolling eyebrows stopped on the man's body, and continued jokingly, "too...... After all, your relationship is there, and you should approve of him. Judging from the current situation, Bai Yicong also seems to be a good partner to work with, and he seems to be more capable than you. ”
This sentence can be regarded as a pertinent evaluation of facts, but it has a bit of a war-leading meaning.
Xia Mian knew that it was not appropriate to say this sentence in front of Bai, after all, many times "comparing" the matter itself was a very hurtful thing. This is likely to provoke the wrath of others, and even anger at the areas that are carefully protected. Whether it's out of self-esteem or possessiveness, there is always anger.
But the more angry you are, the easier it is to see something.
When those carefully maintained calmness are torn apart, irrational emotions begin to prevail, and the most unsightly thoughts hidden in the heart that will not be shown in ordinary times will inevitably be revealed. This is like an invisible mirror, which is enough to reveal a bit of truth and reveal people's most instinctive thoughts.
Xia Mian obviously didn't trust Bai enough.
Now complicity is inevitable, and she has to rely on, or rather have to take advantage of, Shiro. However, this kind of relationship did not make Xia Mian dependent on dialogue, but gave birth to more jealousy and uneasiness. That's why Xia Mian will try his best to find those clues between the lines, wanting to take enough initiative in this relationship.
And her temptation was unrestrained, as condescending as usual, and she didn't even bother to hide her purpose.
This is nothing more than brazenly provoking the authority of the partner, and not even caring about the feelings of the other side.
But if it could be easily calculated, Bai would not let the little princess spend so much effort. The meaning of Xia Mian's words, Bai Du could not understand it very clearly, his face was hidden in the hood, as if there were no mood swings, just laughed very casually.
"Bai Yicong is indeed a good partner to work with, but unfortunately his partner is not you, but your enemy. ”
The confrontation is going on invisibly, and these words are clearly ridiculous and ridiculous, but no one is polite back and forth.
"Forget it, you always have your point," in the end, Xia Mian quietly changed the subject.
"Bai Yi never remembered the things he investigated with He Sheng last year, it's quite rare that you can find out this just by relying on your handwriting. At first, I thought that you left too few clues, and they would be confused, and they would keep going around in circles, not seeing why, and wasting our time. ”
"You don't know Bai Yicong's character, the more rigorous and meticulous things are, the more suspicious they will arouse him. Because behind the over-exhaustion, it is very problematic in itself. Like Bai Yicong's character, you only need to leave him a small gap, and he can restore the whole face of things with his own ability, he has this ability. ”
"Know him so well?" Xia Mian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him teasingly, "Yes, after all, in the position of the head of the family, you have also spent a lot of thought, you must have investigated all aspects, how can you not know him......"
"If it weren't for the fact that the old man hadn't told me the secret of the King's treasure, why would he have gone around in such a big circle?" the man snorted coldly, his words choked in a low cough, "But it's okay, Youbai is also charging from the front, we just need to make a move when necessary, and it will save a lot of trouble, and it will not be in vain for me to plan back then." ”
"Was it a lot of planning, or was it a last resort? To put it bluntly, you didn't get into the eyes of the old man back then. ”
Xia Mian laughed softly and made up for it mercilessly.
This sentence was so unpleasant that the man's pale lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Xia Mian has the ability to talk about every sentence into a closing sentence, according to the usual such a baht, she is nothing more than revenge at the moment. She knew where the man's pain points were, and stabbed him quite precisely to vent the displeasure she had just eaten at him.
At the same time, she was also demonstrating.
Even if the proud princess falls into the mortal world, she always holds a stand that is not stained by the world, even when she asks for help, she must constantly emphasize that she is not controlled, but how can there be so many good things in the world?
The corners of Bai's lips hooked up with a sneer, there were too many ways to suppress her.
To put it bluntly, she is just a princess in distress who floats and sinks in the bitter sea and the mire.
But when I saw Xia Mian's delicate and beautiful face, and the smile that appeared on her cheeks, even if she pretended to be delicate and moving, the person who was so scared that she couldn't speak had no temper.
It's probably beautiful enough to be admired.
It should also stand in the clouds, to be appreciated and protected like a work of art.
