Chapter Twenty-Eight: Do You Want to Kill Me?
At night, a cool breeze blew in the Wutong community, Shi Ember sat on the edge of the bed and tapped the laptop on his lap, while Mu Yu leaned on the windowsill and looked boredly at the waning moon above his head.
"Ember, tonight's moon is a little different than ever. Mu Yu looked up at the sky and said silently.
In modern cities, the air pollution index in urban areas is alarmingly high, and although there are green belts everywhere on both sides of the highway, these greens are a drop in the bucket when it comes to car exhaust that fills the streets. Losing the blue sky and white clouds that once existed, things like the moon have a foggy hazy feeling in the eyes of urban people.
Shi Shen looked up, and the big fox was fighting with his front legs propped up on the windowsill. The moonlight was slightly hazy, and in the cold night, the back of the big fox looking up at the window looked a little desolate.
He closed the notebook on his lap, set it aside, and got up and walked slowly to it. The Silver Moon Fox Clan was originally the same height as people, and Mu Yu was only one head lower than Shi Shen when he stood up. He could naturally wrap his arms around its waist without looking uncomfortable.
I didn't think that the big fox snorted coldly, slapped away the "salty pig hand" he stretched out, and sneered with disgust: "If you have played enough games, you will take advantage of me? ”
After speaking, he raised his white little paws to wipe away the tears that did not exist in the corners of his eyes, and looked like a delicate and low-crying Daiyu: "Day and night, game is difficult to prevent." I'm defending against the sky and the air, and the game is my biggest rival. You're going to play the game for the rest of your life!"
“……”
Ember supports the forehead.
It's not because this guy will take a little moonshine at night. If it weren't for the company of it, he would have slept a long time ago. Now that I've had enough of it, I'm blaming him for playing games. Tsk, what a tsundere little guy.
The names of the Silver Moon Fox Clan are not casual, they have an ability from birth. The moon is not a light source, but the moonlight refracted by the sun through the moon to the ground has become a "delicacy" of the Silver Moon Fox Clan. Moonlight shining on their bodies can easily increase their combat power. For Mu Yu, who has destroyed the original gods, moonlight is one of the shortcuts for it to repair the original gods.
"Okay, okay, I'm definitely going to spend the rest of my life with you. Shi Yan took advantage of its inattention to stretch out the "salty pig hand" again, this time with both hands, directly around its waist, and held it in his arms. And said: "After all, you are my favorite daughter-in-law." ”
A warm breath came from his chest, and it leaned sideways against his strong chest. Although the big fox was covered by his series of sugar-coated shells, his face was blushing, and little bubbles of happiness were floating around him. But it still deliberately pretended to be arrogant and hummed: "Say, are you scolding me in your heart!"
Shi Yan laughed "poof", this little guy is obviously red, but he still has to pretend to be arrogant, which is really cute and itchy.
He scratched its nose and laughed softly, "How can I scold you? You are the daughter-in-law, you are the biggest, and whatever you say is what you say." ”
"Really?"
"Of course. He leaned down and placed a kiss on its ear, a sly smile on his lips, "Perfect." ”
"Hmph~" The big fox pouted arrogantly, but his heart was as sweet as honey.
Shi Shen was so cute that he couldn't help but reach out and touch its head.
The surroundings of the Wutong community were so quiet that even the sound of time walking could be heard, Shi Shen looked out, his eyes were fixed on the Wutong sculpture not far from the gate of the community through the window, and he glanced down at his mobile phone again, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, but when he turned his head to speak to Mu Yu, his expression changed back to his soft side: "Daughter-in-law, it's time to sleep." ”
It's the middle of the night, and the time on the phone screen is 11:40. In another twenty minutes, it will be the moment of resurrection in a thriller movie. Everyone had already fallen asleep, and the Wutong community was simply quiet at the moment. As if under a spell, the wind around me slowly calmed down, and the leaves did not fall all over the ground. Looking through the window, not a single resident in the entire community turned on the lights, and even the unit building where Shi Ember lived was quiet. As if no one had ever lived there, the only light source that could be seen in the visibility was the two rows of street lamps outside the gate of the community, standing there for ten years, faintly emitting a faint yellow light.
"Huh, go to bed so early?" When the big fox heard that he was about to sleep again, his little face immediately became a mess of sorrow. It put on that pitiful expression again, blinked its big eyes twice, and begged aggrievedly: "Can you sleep later, the moonlight is so thin tonight, I haven't absorbed anything." ”
Pretending to be pitiful is its killer feature for Shi Ash, which is basically a quasi-one. But it's not all without mistakes, like now......
"No!" Ember bluntly rejected its request, "You can't stay up all night here." Otherwise, after twelve o'clock, you won't be able to sleep if you want to. ”
How could Mu Yu give up so easily? It was held in his arms, and he took the opportunity to rub his little head on his chest, under normal circumstances, Shi Yan, who was rubbed, would soon compromise with it, but today...... He was still indifferent to the hard work it rubbed hard, but his expression became more and more distorted, as if he was enduring something.
Probably tired, the little guy saw that his attitude was so resolute, and it was not easy to resist anymore, so he had to say "oh" aggrievedly, drooped his ears, and went back to bed to sleep stupidly.
It's not exactly pretending to be pitiful, the concentration of moonlight in the city is not at all the same level as that on the mountain. Recently, it slowly felt that the original spirit was about to be repaired completely, and originally thought that it could be rebuilt into a human form in these few days, but it didn't expect that the pollution of this white dance city was so serious, and the air pollutants blocked most of the moonlight, and the moonlight it absorbed was not as good as one-tenth of the moonlight on Guangyuan Mountain.
With such progress, it really doesn't know how long it will take to cultivate into a human form.
Shi Ember glanced back at it and smiled slightly with relief. Although this little guy usually likes to toss, he still listens to him when it is critical.
Bai Luomei and Su Baiyan had already slept, and Hei Yu had disappeared before eleven o'clock. And the strange uncle who asked to sleep in the dead man's room was silent. The whole world was quiet, and Shi Ember enjoyed the silence without clutter.
He looked down at the "every move" of the sycamore sculpture downstairs, and time passed silently in this wait. Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye—
Midnight falls.
The sycamore sculpture seemed to suddenly "come to life", and the wind was blowing around it, and the sycamore branches and leaves on the sculpture swayed with the rhythm of the wind. Shi Shen turned his head to look at the big fox who had fallen asleep on the bed, and it was clear that it had only been twenty minutes and had slept so deeply that even the howling of the wind outside the house could not wake it up in the slightest.
"Obviously sleepy like this, I still want to stay up all night to absorb the moonlight. Shi Shen looked at its playful "big" shaped sleeping position, wanted to laugh but was inexplicably sad, and finally just sighed: "Hey-"
In the next second, with a loud sound of "huang", the sculpture suddenly burst into flames, not a slow fire offensive of the spark, but in an instant, the sycamore sculpture burned from branches to leaves, but the leaves had no trace of being burned at all.
The fiery red flames burned on the branches and leaves of the sculpture, and the entire Yin Tower suddenly boiled. It was like holding a grand party, and Shi Shen could clearly feel the constant cheers downstairs, as if welcoming something good.
Shi Ember had been staring at the fire tree, and an inexplicable guess hit his brain, and he felt that he could see a clue from this violently burning flame.
Sure enough, slowly, the crimson fire slowly changed color before you knew it. In a short time, it turned from a fiery red to a dark blue like a dark fire, and the silent night was extremely eerie.
The tip of the outer flame of the Hellfire began to emit a gas like white smoke, and the white smoke that was supposed to drift with the wind at this time completely ignored the direction of the wind and rushed towards the Yin Tower where Shi Ember lived.
"Is this Yin Qi?" Shi Shen looked at the gas surging towards the Yin Tower in a large area, and could not find a trace of expression on his cold face: "Relying on this sculpture to suck Yin Qi, is this the midnight carnival of the Yin Tower every night? But ......"
As he spoke, he raised his head and moved his gaze to the rooftop of the building opposite, and his voice was cold and made his back chill: "The one upstairs, is he here to assassinate me?"
