"Emperor!"

Reisen walked around the courtyard, but he couldn't find Emperor Inhata, so he had no choice but to open his throat and shout loudly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's time for dinner, Emperor, come out quickly!"

It is not normal that the emperor, who is more active than anyone else during meals, would miss dinner time.

After walking around the courtyard for two more laps, to no avail, Reisen decided to expand the search. As a result, as soon as he got out of the gate, he met the emperor who was leaning against the wall and not saying a word on the edge of the wall of the Forever Pavilion.

"So you stayed in this kind of place, and I had a hard time looking for it!" Lingxian breathed a sigh of relief and walked up and said, "Why don't you even say a word when I call you, Emperor?"

The emperor didn't pay attention to her, but just looked at the path between the bamboo forests, watching it stretch all the way to the other side of the horizon, disappearing into the setting sun, and I don't know whose shadow she saw on this empty road.

"Emperor?"

Ling Xian stretched out his hand and waved it a few times in front of the emperor's eyes, and said softly:

"It's time to eat!"

"Ahh......h

This action interrupted the emperor's thoughts and pulled her back into reality.

"You eat first, don't wait for me to ......"

The emperor turned his face away and hid his sorrow in a shadow that was getting longer and longer.

Reizen was not in a hurry to leave, but asked softly:

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing. ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Well, let me guess a little, you don't mind, do you?"

"Whatever you want. ”

"I guess......" Reisen blinked, expressing his thoughts, "You're thinking about the Mr. Vampire who just left." ”

"Stupid!"

For some reason, as soon as he heard this, the emperor blushed, turned his head, stared at Lingxian, and said loudly:

"Why should I worry about that guy Nalan Twilight!"

"I never told you his name, did I?" said Reisen with a smile.

"Ahh

The emperor, who realized that he had leaked his mouth, was extremely embarrassed for a while, speechless, so he had to turn his head again and no longer face Lingxian.

The two remained silent for a moment, and then the emperor asked in a low voice:

"How do you know I'm thinking about him?"

"When he came to the master in the afternoon, I noticed that you looked strange, as if you were hiding from someone, and I vaguely felt that there was something hidden between the two of you. ”

Reizen's red eyes were shining in the dim sunset, as if they had sucked in all the light around them.

"Hmph, scheming Reisen!"

Di Leng snorted and said:

"Yes, I was thinking about him, that's right! So? Does it have anything to do with you?"

"It's not related, but this incident has affected everyone's dinner time together, so I have to pay attention to it!" Reisen smiled, "Did anything unpleasant happen between you and him?"

"Nope. The emperor shook his head.

"Eh, since there's no unpleasantness, why hide from people?"

"It's because ...... It's because those days were very pleasant, just like now, that ......" Emperor's voice became a little choked, "That's why I don't want to see him!"

"As soon as you see him, everything that happened in the past is ...... A rush of brains poured out......"

"I've decided to forget about that and start over...... But why...... Why did he appear in front of me again?"

Lingxian held the emperor's face with both hands and gently wiped away the tears on his face, but he didn't say a word, just listened quietly.

"Reisen, ahhh

The emperor threw himself into Lingxian's arms, wept bitterly, poured out, and told everything she had held in her heart.

"I, ah, have done irreparably wrong to that guy and my benefactor...... I really don't know how to deal with him......"

"But I ...... For three hundred years...... Actually, I've always wanted to see him!"

However, it was impossible for Nalan Twilight, who was in the Enchanted Forest, to know the Emperor's thoughts.

He didn't even know that he had just passed by Emperor Inhata.

Right now, he's busy dealing with the enemy in front of him.

"I can take the initiative to come to the door, should I praise you for your sensitive sense of smell, or should I laugh at you for not being able to do it yourself?"

Nalan Twilight protected the three children behind him and stood in front of the comer alone. He had a smile on his face, and he looked like he was at ease.

The man standing across from him was like the other living dead and fish, dressed in black and wearing a bird's beak mask, lifeless and silent.

However, Nalan Twilight could smell that that guy's body exuded an aura that was different from other enemies. Although he didn't see anything unusual yet, he was confident that his idea would soon be confirmed.

After a few seconds of confrontation, the man in black took the lead and attacked. He slid in front of Nalan Twilight, with short and sharp hidden blades on both arms, and stabbed straight at Nalan Twilight's chest, like thunder.

At this point, the difference between him and the living dead has been vividly demonstrated - such a smooth assassination is not something that a zombie with a muddy head can do.

If the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary person, or even better, a battle-hardened veteran, then he would have succeeded with just this swift blow.

However, the boy he faced, even in the blood-clan society where the strong were in the clouds, was a secretive beast. It can be said that the moment he chose his opponent, the attack was already declared a failure.

In the face of the close blade, Nalan Twilight neither dodged nor dodged, just stood in place, waiting for it to stab - it would be too embarrassing for him to dodge seriously in the face of such a weak attack.

The moment the silver blade touched Nalan Yu's body, it shattered and spilled on the ground with a "bang". Then, Nalan Yu clamped the hands of the man in black, and without a trace of effort, he removed the pair of arms.

"Uhh

A dull scream passed through the mask and into Nalan Twilight's ears. The man in black fell to his knees, staring blankly at his empty elbows, watching the blood gush out of the neat incision, but could not do anything.

"You know, I still like to fight opponents who bleed and feel pain rather than zombies that rot from the inside out. Nalan Yu casually threw his two arms aside and said, "Because that will give me a real feeling of killing." ”

"Honestly, I love it!"

He stretched out his right hand, put his index finger on the top of the man in black's head, and announced with a smile:

"Have a good time in Hades, my friend!"

"Wait a minute!"

At this juncture, the guy who had been pretending to be dumb all along, actually spoke.

Nalan Twilight was not at all interested in what he wanted to say, but he was not in a hurry to kill a non-threatening person, so he raised his finger a little and gave the other party a few seconds to say his last words.

"I surrender, I admit defeat, please be merciful!"

The guy raised his arms, and if he still had hands, it would have been a standard surrender move!

"It's really sad that you are dying and you have begun to pray for the mercy of the enemy!" Nalan twilight teased him in a playful tone, "Don't you want to die with a little dignity?"

"Please, I don't want to die yet!"

In the other party's voice, there was already a cry. This greatly ruined Nalan Yu's interest, causing the killing intent in his heart to quickly cool, leaving only a faint nausea.

"Give me a reason not to kill you in five seconds. Nalan said coldly.

"Five ......"

"Four ......"

"Three ......"

"Two ......"

"Wait a minute!" the man shouted, "I know the way to save Reimu from Hiroshi!"

The word "one" was stuck in Nalan Twilight's throat, and he almost pronounced it. In the end, he swallowed it back and asked:

"What do you mean?

"Reimu Hakurei, along with her two friends, and a Raven Tengu, are no longer in Gensokyo. If left alone, they will be killed sooner or later. ”

The man in black swallowed and continued, "If you want to save them...... I can help......"

"Hey......"

Nalan sighed, but took his hand back and put it in his pocket.

"Boy, you've got a life back......"
