"Right ahead!"

Ni Xinyao suddenly pointed with her hand, her face excited.

Gong Xu looked in the direction her finger was pointing, and was suddenly full of doubts.

Ni Xinyao and Gong Xu had been tracking the trail of the little fish, and just as the smell was about to disappear, Ni Xinyao finally felt the exact location of the little fish, or rather, this extremely cunning little fish stopped.

Looking at it, it is impossible not to be confused.

Because, ahead, a mansion appeared in front of the two of them, and compared with the surrounding ruins, it was indescribably weird.

And as the two approached the house, the puppets around them who had attacked the two by instinct actually dispersed automatically, and for a while, Gong Xu was a little uncomfortable.

It was not because there were some powerful monsters in the mansion in front of him that the puppets retreated, but Gong Xu felt that these puppets were not afraid of the existence in this mansion, but more in awe.

Like what......

There is no need to say it, because Gong Xu and Ni Xinyao are already speechless in surprise!

Two people, dressed as domestic servants, walked slowly from the direction of the house.

Before he got closer, Gong Xu felt that something was wrong. Although there is nothing wrong with both appearance and clothing, and the two of them have a kind smile on their faces and peaceful eyes, they look like servants of a large family.

But......

Gong Xu finally knew what was wrong, because, to be precise, the breath of these two servants had no breath, and they were just two puppets!

If there is any difference, then the two servants will not roll their eyes red, and they actually bow down in front of the two, which is very polite.

Domesticated puppets?Gong Xu and Ni Xinyao glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of incredulity.

Because, it was already clear before that these puppets were the king of painted skins, who integrated the remnant souls of the battlefield thousands of years ago into the body of the demon disciples who had experienced or hunted for treasures, and refined them into puppets that were close to the strength of the demon generals. And the puppet, a humanoid weapon, can only be controlled by the refiner, unless ......

"Unless ......," Gong Xu muttered.

"Unless what?" Ni Xinyao asked.

"Unless the refiner sells it. ”

“……”

Ni Xinyao really wanted to say whether there were human rights or something, but puppets, strictly speaking, are no longer considered creatures, they are closer to magic weapons or weapons, and from this point of view, it is not impossible to sell them. The refiner, on the other hand, only needs to brand the puppet and then hand over the control spell to the other party, and the deal is reached.

It's just speculation, but it's close to reality.

Now, after the two servants bowed, they turned sideways at the same time and made a gesture of invitation.

"What do you mean?" Ni Xinyao felt that this kind of thing was too weird, and the puppet would have thoughts?

"It was their hosts who wanted to see us. Gong Xu directly replaced the puppet to answer Ni Xinyao's doubts.

Because, Gong Xu could feel from the puppet's eyes that someone in the distance was observing them through the puppet's eyes.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if it comes, it's safe, not to mention, Gong Xu and Ni Xinyao are here to track that strange little fish, if the owner here is not like the monster he met before, but is conscious, he might as well sit down and talk.

No matter what it is, there is always a trend of interest behind it. In addition to the selfless love of parents, even between lovers, it is for the return of love. Well, even if it's a parent, you still have to have someone to support your old age, right?

Therefore, as long as the two sides can achieve common interests, there is no enemy in this world at all.

Thinking of this, Gong Xu patted Ni Xinyao's shoulder, signaling her to rest assured, and then stretched out his hand and said, "There are two people leading the way." ”

As if they understood Gong Xu's words, the two servants nodded, turned around and quietly led the way in front, and along the way, there was not a single puppet who came over to make trouble.

I don't know if the Painted Skin King is still there, knowing that the puppet she worked so hard to create is at best a troublemaker in Gong Xu's eyes, I don't know how she will feel.

The house, a one-zhang high red brick wall, a bright red wooden gate, a hanging tower above, and a copper ring the size of two heads on the gate, antique.

It is precisely this style that makes Gong Xu even more puzzled, because, along the way, although there are broken walls everywhere, it is obvious that the architectural style of this ruined city is obviously inconsistent with the ancient Chinese style.

And here, it is really puzzling that such a classical style has appeared. What's even more strange is that although the mansion looks quite spectacular in size, when you look closely, everything looks new, as if it has just been renovated.

What kind of person, or what kind of creature, lives here? Gong Xu was even more puzzled.

The gate opened, and there was a painted screen courtyard wall, and when they went around and looked inside, Gong Xu and Ni Xinyao were like being in another world.

The whole yard, or the whole house, is directly a lake, connected by pontoon bridges, and there are pavilions floating on the water, and the whole house, or the water world, there is no house, and as far as the eye can see, a painting boat is driving with the waves in the lake, leaving only a white water line.

"It's beautiful!"

Ni Xinyao stood in front of the pontoon bridge, watching the lotus flowers blooming in the water and the mandarin ducks playing, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Life!

With his keen perception, Gong Xu accurately judged that everything here was real, without the slightest illusion, not even a defensive formation, everything was so natural, it was completely like a fairy tale world.

It's just that outside the wall, there are ruins, birds are uninhabited, and there is a dead silence, this place is like a haven, a paradise, and the huge gap makes Gong Xu unable to describe his inner feelings for a while.

"It's a pity ......"

A long sigh came from the pavilion.

The two looked at each other, only to see that not far away, in a pavilion, a pretty figure turned her back to the two, her long waterfall-like hair was pulled behind her at will, and she was dressed in a pink dress, the fabric was very ordinary, but it couldn't hide the moving temperament exuded by the woman.

"Your Excellency?" Gong Xu took a step forward, shielded Ni Xinyao behind him, and asked from afar.

The woman didn't pay attention to Gong Xu, but sighed leisurely: "In the past, the aurora in the sky was swaying, as if the universe fell into the lake, and at that time the lake was full of colors and beautiful, but it's a pity, it's a pity, I can't see it anymore." ”

Gong Xu pursed his lips and didn't squeak, it was obvious that he was the fault himself, and he made the aurora disappear, and the girl was so resentful.

"May I ask what this sister is called?" Ni Xinyao pushed Gong Xu away and opened her eyes wide with curiosity.

The woman turned around slowly, and in an instant, the entire lake seemed to light up, only to hear the woman mutter: "My name is Wang Xiaofei." ”
