23. Is he asserting sovereignty?
Chapter 23: Is He Declaring Sovereignty?
At this moment, Hao Yuan felt that there was an obvious aura fluctuation at the entrance of the Mochuan Palace. He straightened the little fox and looked in the direction of the temple gate.
When Ming Xuan came in, Xiao Li's wine had already woken up for three or five minutes, and he was working with Hao Yuan to capture the fish on the table. Seeing Ming Xuan, she raised her head, and her eyes were full of light: "His Royal Highness Ming Xuan!" ”
As soon as he shouted, he saw that the fish he had just aimed at was taken away by Hao Yuan and put into his mouth. He didn't seem satisfied, and when he put down his chopsticks, the sound was quite loud, and in the silent night sky, there was a crisp sound.
If it is placed in normal times, the little fox's head is bright, and he may know Haoyuan's hint at this moment. But today is still quite chaotic, so it is only that Haoyuan is dissatisfied with the lack of fish and meat, and thinks that it is a big deal that she will not fight with him for a while.
So, she got up and greeted Ming Xuan warmly: "Your Highness, come and sit down, the pot is Ningxia Xifeng, the master said it was good wine, I'll pour you a glass?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I felt cold behind me. The little fox couldn't help but bow his head and tuck his shirt, only to realize that he was wearing Haoyuan's robe, no wonder he almost tripped just now, it turned out to be too long.
She was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled brightly at Ming Xuan: "Your Highness, you're welcome!" ”
Before she finished saying this time, Xiaoxi felt a tightness in her waist, and then, she was held in Haoyuan's arms, and it seemed that she had used a lot of strength, which made her faintly painful!
Not? The little fox couldn't help but turn his head to look at Haoyuan.
He didn't look at her at all, but said to Ming Xuan lightly: "I don't know that Brother Ming Xuan visited late at night, and the wine and meat in my palace don't seem to be enough for three people." ”
Uh, why is Master so petty? The little fox knows that Haoyuan's wine pot is a special kind of treasure, it looks small, but it can actually hold a bucket, where is it not enough for three people?
Ming Xuan didn't mind, but sat down and looked at the little fox, but said to Haoyuan: "I came to see the little fox girl, I heard that she fainted in the competition field, but I didn't expect her to wake up by herself!" ”
Hao Yuan's voice was neither salty nor light: "Brother Ming Xuan is quite attentive to the apprentice. ”
"It's nature." Ming Xuan looked at the little fox, his tone was gorgeous, with a bit of ambiguity: "I have a love for the little fox girl and I to give paintings, and naturally we are different from others." ”
"Gift a painting?" Hao Yuan raised his eyebrows and set his eyes on the little fox.
Thinking of the portrait that was exactly the same as her brother's, the little fox's wine woke up a little more, and when she raised her eyes, the expression on her face was just right: "Master, it's just a coincidence that I heard that His Highness's painting skills are excellent, so I asked for one." If His Highness hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it. ”
Ming Xuan didn't mind the faint detachment in the little fox's tone, and still looked at her with a smile. And the little fox obviously felt that the cool air on Haoyuan's body beside him dissipated a little.
There was a brief silence in the atmosphere in the pavilion, but the next moment, Ming Xuan got up, and there seemed to be a hint in his eyes: "It's not too early, I should go back too." In the competition a few days later, I pressed the same little raccoon girl. ”
As soon as the words fell, he had already reached the cloister, and when the flower-like robe disappeared, his languid voice came: "Although there are ways to wake her up, it is at most three times." ”
Hao Yuan was shocked, what he said was about using the danger of the test field to summon the wandering soul of the little fox back, right? No wonder last time, even after falling asleep for several days, she was able to live soon after waking up. And this time, it was delayed for half a day and still not fully recovered.
There was a touch of complexity in his eyes, and then, a qiē returned to calm.
Five days later, Hao Yuan took the little fox to the Heavenly Realm's Phantom Valley to participate in the final round of competition among the Heavenly Realm disciples.
What the two didn't expect was that in the last competition, it was Xiangyue Shangxian who was responsible for hosting.
When the little fox saw Xiangyue, his heart sank, but he didn't have too much expression on his face, and said respectfully: "Xiangyue is good!" ”
Xiangyue's gaze didn't fall on the little fox at all, but smiled softly at Haoyuan: "Your Highness, the sun in the morning is also a little poisonous, Your Highness has been in the dust all the way, why don't you go ahead with me to rest for a while?" ”
Hao Yuan just nodded to Xiangyue, then took off a storage ring from his finger, and said to Xiao Li: "Xiao Tanuki, your cultivation is low, there is no shortage of dangers in the Phantom Valley, and the teacher has prepared some talisman weapons for you, you can wear them when you walk in for a while, don't let yourself get hurt, huh?" ”
His 'um' also deliberately lengthened the end note, coupled with the originally clear and low voice, there was quite a lingering taste, and a sad tear welled up from the bottom of the fairy eyes of Xiangyue on the other side.
"Thank you, Master!" The little fox was about to take it, but Hao Yuan grabbed her hand and carefully put the ring on for her with his own hands, his eyes were full of soft light: "I went in for a while, I don't want to win, as long as it's safe, just take it as a long insight!" ”
After saying this, Hao Yuan looked at Xiangyue: "Miss Xiangyue, what I prepared for the little fox is a talisman weapon, and it is not offensive in any way, so it shouldn't violate the rules of the competition, right?" ”
Heartbroken, but still had to grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, Xiangyue said softly and weakly: "Naturally not, the safety of the little fox girl is the most important!" ”
Seeing that Haoyuan's face softened a little, she added: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will try my best to take care of the little fox girl!" ”
"Miss Xiangyue has a heart!" Hao Yuan hooked his lips at her slightly.
Xiangyue was suddenly fascinated: "Your Highness, then do you want to stay here for a while?" ”
Hao Yuan nodded: "Qinxuan Divine Monarch has arrived?" ”
Xiang Yue led the way in front: "Qinxuan Divine Monarch and His Royal Highness Ming Xuan have arrived, and several Divine Monarchs have also come. ”
Hao Yuan looked at the little fox who had already walked into the competition crowd, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "It's just right." "Canghai Qiankun Mirror, he is bound to win!
Phantom Valley, when you walk into it, you find that the scenery is really as good as its name.
Ahead, you will see a green meadow with flowers and colorful butterflies competing to collect honey. In the distance, there are towering mountains, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, which makes people look at it and feel refreshed.
The task of the little fox and the others is to find a herb called Yun Luogen in such a valley. I heard that there are six in the valley, and there are guardian spirit beasts around, so it is not easy to take.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to get one plant per person, and occasionally one person will get several plants, so the final winner is generally only four or five.
The little fox declined the invitation of the other students to join him and walked on a trail alone.
The bamboo forest in front of you is deep, and the surroundings are very quiet, except for the slight sound of feet stepping on dead leaves. The further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes.
Suddenly, a bird fluttered its wings overhead, and the little raccoon turned around and glanced at the dark bamboo forest behind him, as if unintentionally.
There was a qiē silence, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual at all. She didn't seem to realize anything at all, but walked a few steps again, and then sat down in the clearing in front of her, her eyelids drooping slightly, as if she were about to fall asleep.
Shortly after she closed her eyes, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest. When she came to the little fox, she kept sealing, and countless threads flew out of her white fingertips, intertwined into a net, and enveloped the little fox in it.
And the little fox seemed to sleep deeply, not noticing anything unusual at all, and the corners of his lips seemed to faint a sweet smile.
"Humph!" A cold snort came from the woman's mouth, and she pulled the other end of the silk thread violently, and then the little fox was pulled into the air by her, and with her, it flew quickly towards the depths of the Phantom Valley.
She was in front and the little fox was behind, so naturally she didn't notice it, and the 'sleeping' little fox suddenly opened her eyes, and a touch of surprise welled up in her eyes.
It is estimated that the direction of their actions is the direction where Yun Luogen is, right? Although it was dangerous, but it saved so much effort, shouldn't she be grateful to this guide?
