Chapter 85: Temptation
Afternoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sun is clear and shimmering, pouring down from the swaying and rolling green canopy above the canyon. The wind blows slowly, and the slender trees hang down from their thick branches all the way to the valley floor, dancing with the wind.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and the thick bodies of the trees were sprinkled with crystalline spots.
A grove outside the town at the bottom of the valley.
Sparsely populated and silent.
A house stands alone in the woods.
Although it was a sunny afternoon, the light was still dark at the bottom of the canyon where the giant trees shaded the sky.
Under the eaves hangs a row of delicate lanterns, and the dark red lampshade spreads with gorgeous and elegant silver-white mandala.
The breeze was blowing, and the lanterns under the eaves were swaying with warm firelight.
A black dress poured down, and the girl appeared silently in front of the house, the pitch-black membrane wings gently retracted.
"Lord Lanfeng. ā
The girl stood outside the room and bowed to the window, her voice respectful.
The window is carved with delicate and elegant patterns, and the slanted open slit, the lights in the room are flickering, and the silhouette of a young man is faintly visible on the window.
"Laid out?" the voice was faint, as if asking casually.
"Yes. ā
The girl stood respectfully in front of the window.
There was a faint sound of flipping a book in the window, and the young man paused, and his voice was faint:
"Anything else?"
The girl in the black dress looked in the direction of the window, hesitated, but still spoke:
"Lord Lan Feng, forgive your subordinates for talking too much, although that girl is from Eren Is, she is just an ordinary angel, she doesn't even have wings, and she can't pose any threat at all. Why do you ...... You must test her?"
The figure paused slightly, as if thinking about something, and the young man suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the girl in the black dress changed her face and knelt on the ground, her voice respectfully revealing a trace of trepidation:
"It's a subordinate who has lost his word, please forgive me!"
The lights were scorching, and the delicate mandala patterns spread on the orange shade, flickering with silver light.
The young man flipped through the book in his hand, and there was a hint of coldness in his low voice:
"Ordinary?"
"I was able to cross my shield barrier and enter the pit alone to take my brother away, unaffected by the resurrection circle...... Do you think such a person is 'ordinary'?"
The girl in the black dress looked in the direction of the window in a daze, still maintaining a kneeling position.
Even though the resurrection ritual was over, the magic still remained in the pit, and she entered the pit, but not only did she come unscathed, but she was able to take her brother away...... This alone deserves attention. Not to mention ......"
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was cold:
"That shielding barrier poured all my might, and no one could easily break it. Even my brother can't come and go so easily......"
"The results will come out soon, so just wait for now. ā
The voice was faint, and the boy lowered his head as if writing something, and stopped talking.
"Yes, the subordinates retired. ā
The girl in the black dress saluted respectfully, her wings stretched and disappeared into the woods in an instant.
The streets are bustling with people.
The lanterns are delicate and small, and the warm light of the fire sways along the streets.
The demon children laughed and played, carrying bags of candy and swaying around.
The smell of sweets wafts through the streets.
"It's all said that we don't recruit people, let's go!"
The pastry shop aunt with an apron looked helpless and waved her hand to the girl in front of the store.
"IāI don't want to be paid, just give me some milk......!
Qianling looked at the shopkeeper very sincerely, and her amber eyes blinked, revealing water.
The aunt looked at her pitiful appearance, but still shook her head:
"Little girl, aren't you embarrassing me? We have enough people in the store, and we don't have anything to do for you. Why don't you go somewhere else? Maybe you can find a store that happens to be short of staff. ā
"......"
Qianling was eager to say something, but the aunt had already shook her head helplessly and entered the store and no longer bothered her.
Hanging her head in frustration, Qianling slowly turned around and walked forward.
The silver bell on the wrist softly "jingles".
Because she was determined to take good care of Xiao Ruo and find a way to survive in this demon clan where racial discrimination was rampant, she turned over and got up early this morning and ran to look for work everywhere on the street.
But as imagined, she ran into walls everywhere, and no one was willing to hire her at all.
Even though she didn't want to be paid and just wanted to get a stable daily change to milk, no one agreed.
The chestnut hair was slightly upturned, reflecting the orange fire of the lantern.
Qianling collapsed her face and sighed helplessly.
This place...... It's not easier than finding a job at Ellens......
Li Jing and Li Xi are also looking for jobs in other places, and now I am afraid they have also encountered a lot of obstacles.
The stomach suddenly "gurgled" twice.
took out a few biscuits from her pocket, and Qianling took a bite of them contentedly.
Fortunately, there are still some cookies left from noon.
The breeze was blowing, and the huge and dense canopy of trees above the canyon swayed and rustled in the wind.
Maroon hair falls softly around the neck, and the white dress is embellished with snow-white fluff that flutters at the knees.
The lights flickered, and delicate lanterns spread along the streets.
People come and go, lively and complicated.
Qianling bit the biscuit and looked all the way, guessing which shops might have work for her.
And the shops she chose were all selling food, and if she worked in these places, she might be able to exchange her money for milk.
"Hey, have you heard? There seems to be a new store on West Street, and now it's just opened, and it's not enough to have enough people, and it is said that the boss really can't help it, and even the orcs have been recruited!"
Suddenly, there was a low murmur in the crowd.
Qianling still had biscuit crumbs on her mouth, her movements were slight, her ears were pricked up, and her eyes were shining.
Not far from her, two girls were talking as they walked, as if they were still chewing something to eat, and their voices were muffled.
"Orcs, what can orcs do?" the other girl looked dismissive.
"Who knows, maybe it's too busy. It's just that if that's it, it's really cheap for those orcs!"
"Yes...... But what kind of store is that?"
"I think it's selling sweets and sweets, but I don't know. ā
Amber eyes flickered, and Qianling almost burst into tears as she bit into the biscuit.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
The newly opened shop? and the orcs? the candy shop?
This is great news!
Qianling's bitter gourd face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and she happily turned around and ran in the other direction.
People come and go, and the lights are shining.
The two girls in the crowd quietly looked back at the girl in the white dress who was gradually running away, glanced at each other, and quietly dissolved into the crowd, leaving no trace.
