"I've never heard of it." Kurosaburo replied thoughtfully, "Because the snake needs a lot of spiritual energy to molt, it will instinctively absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. Mortals are a great supplement to monsters, but in the eyes of the feathered people, they can only give birth, and other than that, they don't bother to attack mortals. However, youkai with a little cultivation are often attacked by snakes. Now the snake is attacking mortals unusually, but there is something strange. ”

"Ordinary snakes are conceived from mortals, so it is unknown whether they deliberately avoid mortals." Tsing Yi pondered, "But the snake born by Xiao Yu is the opposite, maybe it's because of this?" ”

"Perhaps." Kurosaburo said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, they were instructed by someone. ”

"Huh?" Tsing Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't understand what Hei Saburo meant.

Kurosaburo raised his hand and twisted his cuffs, his expression solemn, as if he had encountered something tricky.

Tsing Yi rarely saw Hei Saburo's appearance, and it was inevitable that he was a little worried. But she couldn't think of a way to solve her problems, and after thinking about it, she could only take his sleeve and whisper: "I don't know how many snakes are still hiding outside, so don't you go out?" ”

Kurosaburo suddenly smiled, revealing his very cute dimples.

"Well, I'm not going out." He smiled and grabbed Tsing Yi's hand and said, "Anyway, no matter how much trouble they make, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Tsing Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, just in case, she also deliberately brought out the old wine aged in the wine cellar, added two handfuls of realgar, and then handed it over to the guy.

Although Hei Saburo was not afraid of snakes, in order to enjoy the feeling of being nervously protected by Tsing Yi, he honestly followed behind Tsing Yi and watched Tsing Yi busy with a stern expression.

After tossing like this for more than half an hour, Tsing Yi stopped.

Although the movement of snakes gathering out is small, how can the guests in the inn know nothing? There are those who are cowardly, and they have long since gone together. The rest are either bold or really dull and unaware of the unusual.

Hei Saburo shook the wine glass in his hand leisurely with his legs, waiting for Tsing Yi's roast leg of lamb to make a snack. Although his face was nonchalant, his eyes did not take away from the door.

Who knew that when Tsing Yi was holding a leg of mutton and sending it out, there was no one in Hei Saburo's place.

Tsing Yi felt a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help but panic a little. She forgot to put down the leg of mutton, and as soon as she turned her feet, she ran straight to the second floor.

The guests of the hotel on the second floor were still enjoying themselves in their own rooms, but when Tsing Yi suddenly pushed open their doors, they were a little unresponsive.

Tsing Yi quickly swept through several rooms with a cold face, she didn't know in advance which room Xiao Yu and the others were staying in, and she was in a hurry, so she was a little in a hurry. It's a shame that she still remembered what Hei Saburo had told Su Xi before, so she didn't push the door blindly, but only checked which room was sprinkled with realgar powder.

Besides, this little feather was sitting next to me with Ren Keqing kissing me and me, Ren Keqing wanted to appease Xiao Yu's unstable feelings, but Xiao Yu leaned on Ren Keqing's arms without knowing how to be satisfied, as if he could keep him firmly by his side.

Ren Keqing didn't seem to notice Xiao Yu's uneasiness, and showed him a gentle smile as always. He gently pressed his palm against Xiao Yu's slightly bulging abdomen, feeling the snake gently press his head against his palm through his belly, and his eyes showed a little glimmer of love.

"What a lively child." He whispered softly, "Are you hungry?" I always feel that you are getting thinner and thinner, and even the child in your belly is a little weak. Shall I get you something to eat? ”

"No, I'm not hungry." Xiao Yu subconsciously grabbed Ren Keqing, who wanted to get up, and said pitifully, "Don't go-"

Ren Keqing gently touched Xiao Yu's head, and said softly: "I like your mellow appearance, you have lost too much weight recently, I feel distressed when I look at it." Don't be afraid, I'll be right back. ”

“…… Okay......" Xiao Yu also knew that he was much more ugly now, and he was also very afraid of losing Ren Keqing's admiration because of this, so as soon as Ren Keqing mentioned this, he said in a weak tone, "I'll wait for you-you come back soon-"

Ren Keqing left with his head bowed, and Xiao Yu sat there dumbfounded with his stomach in his arms.

He didn't notice that the outside of the room he was in was already covered with realgar. The continuous delivery of children has greatly weakened his demonic power, and in addition, his heart is hanging on Ren Keqing, and even the sense of crisis is much more meager.

However, the snake in his stomach was much sharper, and since Su Xi sealed the door, it began to stir in Xiao Yu's stomach uncontrollably.

Xiao Yu faintly felt some pain in his stomach, he pressed the active snake in his abdomen, and comforted him weakly: "Good boy, don't move, you will come after eating in a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, the snake really settled a lot.

Xiao Yu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his lips became less and less bloody.

"You look so uncomfortable!"

Xiao Yu was suddenly startled, he looked up at the place where the sound came from, and saw Xiuxiu, who was knocked unconscious by himself, woke up at some point. She crouched on the ground with her cheeks folded, her clear eyes shining at her, especially his slightly bulging belly.

Xiao Yu subconsciously hugged his stomach and scolded angrily: "What to see, don't look at it!" ”

"Hmph, you must have done too many bad things, that's why you have such a strange disease!" Xiuxiu touched the back of her dull neck, and stared at Xiao Yu's gaze becoming more and more angry, "You beat me just now, I want to sue Brother San Lang, and I want to find Dongqiao to beat you!" ”

“…… There you go! Xiao Yu countered with disdain, "It's just two guys, and Keqing's servants can restrain them casually." ”

"You're a nasty guy!" Xiuxiu still remembered the reason why she came, and when she saw Xiao Yu so arrogant, she jumped up and shouted, "You are ugly, have a bad temper, and have a strange disease, it makes people annoying to look at!" ”

"You're the nasty thing!" Xiao Yu was poked in the sore spot, and when he landed, his face changed and he chirped, "Get out of here, don't blame me for eating you!" ”

"You're going to fuck off! You won't be allowed to stay at our inn! Xiuxiu was not afraid of Xiao Yu at all, and at this time, when she saw Xiao Yu's hideous face, she didn't flinch, but raised her head and raised her chest and said in a high voice, "If you look ugly, you have to be a little self-aware, obviously an ugly monster, I don't know how long I've lived, and I have the face to bully me such a little doll, are you ashamed!" ”

Saying that, she also shaved her face, made a grimace at Xiao Yu and said: "The nerd said, anyone who makes things difficult for women and children is not a good person, you must be a villain!" ”

"Shut up, shut up!" Xiao Yu was almost mad by Xiuxiu, he was born with a perverse personality, and since he fell in love with Ren Keqing, he had never been so heavy-handed, he was dizzy at this time, and he didn't care that he was pregnant, and he pushed Xiuxiu down with a swoop to tear Xiuxiu's mouth, "Let you talk nonsense, let you scold me-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, let go of me, you villain, ugly bastard—" Xiuxiu had never encountered such a fight, and at first she could only push Xiao Yu's hand and cry, but after she realized that Xiao Yu had no mercy at all, she also had the same backhand to pull Xiao Yu's hair and tear Xiao Yu's cheek.

For a while, the two of them were babbling and scuffling, don't look at Xiuxiu's young age, but they refused to suffer, and even grabbed and pulled Xiao Yu into tears.

When Tsing Yi followed the sound to the door, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiuxiu and Xiao Yu rolling around on the ground with their hair and clothes disheveled. She subconsciously raised her hand to press the corner of her forehead, and stopped her in a cold voice: "What are you doing?" Don't stop yet! ”

As soon as Xiuxiu heard Tsing Yi's voice, she took the lead in letting go and pushing Xiao Yu away. She lifted her dirty little face, and threw herself into Tsing Yi's arms while crying: "Woo wow wow - Sister Tsing Yi - it's Xiuxiu who hit the nasty ghost first, he first knocked Xiuxiu unconscious, and then Xiuxiu scolded him for being a nasty ghost and ugly monster, so he jumped up and beat Xiuxiu-woo wow wow - Xiuxiu's hair has been pulled off a lot, and her face hurts-"

Tsing Yi raised Xiuxiu's face and looked at it, and sure enough, there were many slender scratches, red, swollen and bleeding, and at a glance, he knew that he was scratched by Xiao Yu with his claws.

Tsing Yi was angry and painful in her heart, she was a handsome female doll, and she just scratched Xiao Yu into a big cat. I don't know if he has anything unclean in his paws, and it won't be good if he leaves a scar.

"Who told you to curse?" Although she was distressed, she still pretended to be angry and taught Xiuxiu to say, "I know that it hurts when I fight, see if you dare next time." ”

Xiuxiu was already aggrieved, and when she heard Tsing Yi blame herself, she cried out loud: "He-he's an ugly monster!" I'm not wrong - if you don't believe it, ask Brother Saburo, Brother Saburo will definitely say that this guy is a nuisance! The people around him don't like him, and I'm honest, what's wrong with that-woo-woo-"

Tsing Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and when he looked up at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's face really changed.

"You are talking nonsense, Keqing likes me!" Xiao Yu, who was dressed as a wolf, looked really pitiful and didn't cry, he looked up at Tsing Yi, his white lips trembled, as if he was persuading Tsing Yi, and he seemed to be persuading himself to repeat, "Keqing's favorite is me, and I also like Keqing the most, she is talking nonsense, right?" I don't believe her—"

Tsing Yi had a stalk in his throat, and he didn't know how to answer. She also believed that Ren Keqing was sincere to Xiao Yu, but at the moment, compared to his unclear purpose, I am afraid that it is insignificant.

The little feather in front of him is no longer the vigorous little feather of the past, his cheeks are thin, his face is tired, and his thin body has an obviously bulging belly, and he is messy with his hair first, and his face still has red marks scratched out by Xiuxiu, at first glance, it looks like a pregnant woman who was kicked out of the door, it is really miserable.

Tsing Yi stared at his big belly uncontrollably for a long time, and after being entangled in his heart for a long time, he could only say truthfully: "Whether you have the same mind or not is not something that I, an outsider, can casually assert." If you want to know if he is sincere to you, why don't you polish your eyes and see his face clearly. ”

Xiao Yu didn't say anything, he hung his head, holding his increasingly twitching belly and standing there stunned.

There were a few faint laughter outside the inn, and the banshee's coquettish scolding sounded like the most piercing noise to Xiao Yu.

Of course, he also realized that Ren Keqing did not like he did to treat him as well. He was always afraid, afraid that Ren Keqing would like someone else.

His stomach hurt more and more, and he bent down, his mind in confusion.

"Oops......" Tsing Yi saw the blood flowing from Xiao Yu's feet at a glance, "You're bleeding!" ”

Xiao Yu raised his head tremblingly and smiled miserably at Tsing Yi, and then before Tsing Yi could react, he moved his hand, but he tore his clothes hard.

Tsing Yi's eyes widened, she stared at Xiao Yu's big belly full of green tendons and light pink scars, and she almost couldn't even remember why she was standing here.

Under the translucent belly, there were faintly several black shadows rolling violently in his belly, and his belly was even more swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye in Tsing Yi.

"Ahh His belly grew too fast, and the wound that should have healed was torn open again.

"Save me-save my child-" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand in the direction of Tsing Yi, his painful face was distorted, but he was still protecting his stomach, "The child is in a hurry to come out, Reiki, I want Reiki - give me your blood - give me -"

"Why are you doing this?" Tsing Yi finally came back to her senses, she was not so kind as to sacrifice herself, but seeing that Xiao Yu seemed to be about to be unable to hold on, she gritted her teeth, and leaned over to whisper a command in Xiuxiu's ear.

Xiuxiu looked at Xiao Yu tangledly, but saw that Xiao Yu was dying, so she ran downstairs and grabbed two handfuls of fragrant cakes according to Tsing Yi's words.

Tsing Yi opened the door ajar, then threw all the incense cakes into the incense burner and lit them in one go, and finally used his sleeve to fan the incense wind in the direction of Xiao Yu.

Xiuxiu couldn't get used to smelling such a strong aroma, and immediately sneezed several times. But Xiao Yu's complexion was really as much softened as Tsing Yi guessed.

Snakes are most afraid of the pungent smell of realgar spirits, and Xiao Yu is carrying a few snakes in his belly, which is why he has such a fierce reaction.

Tsing Yi originally remembered that Ren Keqing had hung a lot of sachets where they were, although it was to cover up the demonic spirit and the fishy smell of snakes, but if you think about it in another way, it may be possible to fight poison with poison.

It's useful, otherwise she really can't do it.

Xiao Yu was half-dead and curled up on the ground, looking countless times worse than before.

Seeing that he was pitiful, Tsing Yi couldn't help but persuade after all: "You gave birth as a man, it was a retrograde, and you didn't know the continuous production of the precipice, even if it was a monster, if you toss it like this, I'm afraid that your life will be difficult to protect." If you still want to live, stop it. If Ren Keqing really likes you, he will never let you fight for your life to have a child. ”

"Keqing likes her daughter-" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, "I was born a demon, and if I want to compare with mortal women, I have already lost." In addition, I don't have any other strengths, neither smart nor powerful, so I can't help Keqing. Only pregnancy and childbirth are what I can do for him. The more children we have, the more he loves me, and as long as I have children, he will not leave me—"

“…… Actually, you know it, right? Tsing Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "If you don't listen to persuasion, I won't say much." However, a few days ago, Songque came to the inn, and although his appearance had changed, his heart was still as innocent and lively as before, and he kept crying out to find you, but he still missed you. Looking at your current appearance, I'm afraid that there will be no time to see him again, but what do you want me to help bring it? ”

"Hmph-you like that stupid guy too-" Xiao Yu sneered a few times and said, "You are all like this, all of you like him, obviously he is the stupidest of the brothers, but everyone says that he is the most powerful, and he will definitely be the patriarch in the future, and give him any good things." It's only Keqing—only Keqing likes me—"

After he finished speaking with resentment, he hid his face under his arm, and then said calmly: "I don't have anything to say to him, you can get out, I want to rest." ”

Tsing Yi had nothing to say, she pulled Xiuxiu out of the room, Xiuxiu still hated Xiao Yu, and didn't forget to pout at Xiao Yu lying on the ground before leaving.

Tsing Yi closed the door casually, then looked at the empty aisle and sighed, "Not here—where did he go?" ”

"Sister Tsing Yi, who are you looking for?" Xiuxiu only felt that her face was painful and itchy, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to scratch the wound, "Sister Xiuxiu's face in Tsing Yi is so itchy, and it hurts-"

"Let go, if you scratch your face again, you'll be rotten." Tsing Yi grabbed Xiuxiu's hand with a headache and scared, "There will be a lot of disgusting insects crawling out of your face after rotting, are you willing to do that?" ”

"Don't, don't-" Xiuxiu was really frightened, she arched into Tsing Yi's arms with teary eyes and admitted her mistake, "Xiuxiu knows it's wrong, Xiuxiu won't scratch her face again in the future." ”

"That's good." Tsing Yi touched Xiuxiu's head soothingly and said, "Now let's go to the medicine." Alas, the youkai are stronger, if not ...... I'm afraid that he won't even break the oily skin. You can't be so stupid in the future, hitting a stone with an egg is not something to be proud of, but this time it's just a fight. ”

Xiuxiu wrinkled her nose and nodded obediently.

After carefully medicating Xiuxiu, Tsing Yi was in a hurry to find Hei Saburo everywhere.

When I asked the guy, the guy only said that Hei Saburo was drinking, and as soon as he saw Su Xi and Dongqiao entering the door, he dropped his wine glass and went with them I don't know where they went.

Knowing that Hei Saburo did not go out alone, she was relieved, but also a little worried. When she thought of the pile of snakes she saw before, as well as the few mortals who were possessed by snakes, she couldn't sit still. So she carried the lantern and prepared to go to the door to wait for Kurosaburo to come back.

After a night of tossing, it's almost time. It was dark and noisy outside the inn, which was really scary.

Tsing Yi waited left and right, didn't wait for Hei Saburo, but waited for Ren Keqing.

Ren Keqing wore the gorgeous feather coat of the songbird, and walked out of the darkness calmly. As soon as he saw Tsing Yi, he greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, little lady in Tsing Yi, I wonder if you are okay lately?" ”

Tsing Yi's face was already cold, she quietly glanced behind Ren Keqing, in the midst of the heavy black shadows, there were several people who couldn't see clearly, they were waiting to follow behind Ren Keqing, as if they were the most well-trained and loyal servants.

"It's dark at night, so please go back to your room and rest quickly." Tsing Yi did not respond to Ren Keqing's greetings, but reminded him meaningfully, "I just passed by the guest officer's room, and I vaguely heard someone in the room moaning in pain, I am afraid that he is seriously ill and uncomfortable, and the guest officer should go and see it quickly." ”

"Really? Thank you little lady for informing. Ren Keqing showed an extremely obvious look of worry, he touched the feather feather on his coat, and whispered like a prayer and a sigh, "Xiao Yu has suffered a lot for me, and this time I brought him back just to find a way to make him better." Little lady, do you know any way to help us? ”

"Method-" Tsing Yi replied coldly, "Naturally, there is, but I'm afraid you can't do it." ”

Ren Keqing smiled and said softly: "Then I will go back to the room to rest, the night is heavy, and the little lady should rest early." ”

Tsing Yi nodded indifferently, then turned sideways and moved out of the way.

As soon as Ren Keqing moved, the group of servants followed suit. The closer they got, the clearer their faces became.

This group of minions is not ordinary minions, although there are a few familiar mortals in it, but more of them are youkai who have not yet successfully transformed.

Tsing Yi clenched the lantern in his hand and watched with a blank face as he led the group of servants mixed with mortals and monsters into the inn.

As they passed her, she saw the snake poking its head out of their stomachs with its head shaking.

After the mortals, the snake began to pick monsters to possess again. It's no wonder that so many mortals possessed them in the Land of Three Paths.

I just don't know, what exactly are they doing when they possess mortals and youkai? ――
