"There's a word for mortals that happens to explain the things of Fang Cai." Hei Saburo hooked the ends of Tsing Yi's hair with his fingers and said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of the word "pulling seedlings to grow?" ”

"Plucking the seedlings - boosting?" Tsing Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Could it be that Dongqiao just used a harmful method for snakes to force it to transform?" ”

"My bride is wise." Hei Saburo smiled and hugged Tsing Yi's slender waist and praised, "Originally, the birth of that snake was already unusual, and the lack of aura that it absorbed when it was a child made it weaker than ordinary snakes. In this case, if you want to molt, it will take some time, to say the least. However, Mingque and Ren Keqing were already close at hand, and Dongqiao was in a hurry, so he could only deliberately force the already weak snake into a desperate situation, so that the snake could transform in advance. ”

"Since he did this, is he already sure of success?" Tsing Yi only felt that Dongqiao's method was a little intense, but when he thought that the snake was a monster, he didn't expect it to die as lightly as an ordinary reptile. However, although she thought so, she still had some nostalgia in her heart.

Hei Saburo squinted at Tsing Yi, then turned his head and glanced at the back door of the kitchen.

Dongqiao was standing silently outside the door holding the crystal jar, his head slightly bowed, his face hidden in the shadows, looking both obedient and wary.

"Well, that's a bit hard to say." Hei Saburo deliberately dragged out his voice and said slowly, "Although most of the monsters are not afraid of ordinary fire, they are not used in the inn. Besides, no matter how powerful ordinary youkai are, they always have a vulnerable period, such as a transformation - such as a juvenile period - "

As he spoke, he smiled defiantly at Higashibashi.

Dongqiao raised his head and glanced at Hei Saburo very quickly, and then as if he didn't notice Hei Saburo's provocation, he went straight to Tsing Yi and said, "Little lady, I've locked it up, what should we do with it next?" ”

Tsing Yi subconsciously squinted her eyes, she looked back at the crystal jar, and the little yellow bird was lying at the bottom of the jar, looking very pitiful.

Tsing Yi couldn't see that little pitiful look, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said, "Give it to me-"

"Leave it to Su Xi." Hei Saburo hurriedly stopped him, "Mingque and his party will arrive tonight, I have already explained the matter to her, she knows how to deal with it." ”

Dongqiao didn't agree immediately, he held the crystal jar and looked at Tsing Yi motionlessly, as if he was waiting for Tsing Yi's instructions.

When he first came, he would pretend, but since he was targeted by himself, he has become more and more careless. Hei Saburo watched Dongqiao grind his teeth silently, and also turned his head to look at Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi let out a sigh of hindsight, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and nodded: "Since this is the case, let's leave it to Su Xi." ”

Higashibashi agreed and retreated.

Seeing that Tsing Yi was still thoughtful, Hei Saburo deliberately approached her and said, "That group of nasty guys is coming tonight, and I'm afraid that snakes will crawl everywhere-"

As he spoke, he looked at Tsing Yi with an inexplicable viscous and enthusiastic gaze.

Tsing Yi looked down at Hei Saburo with a confused face, and didn't react for a while.

"And then-that-that-snake is small, but it's a child of the feather coat clan after all-" Kurosaburo saw that Tsing Yi couldn't understand his meaning in a good way, so he hinted with some shame, "And then the feather-clad people are dangerous to ordinary male monsters, and if you're not careful, you'll be hit-"

Hei Saburo has already said it so bluntly, how can Tsing Yi not understand. She almost tried to restrain herself to keep out laughing.

"Well, I know, I know." Seeing the smile on his face, Tsing Yi had to wrap his arms around Hei Saburo's neck and hold him tightly in his arms, and said softly like a child, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you, and I will never let that songbird and his child touch you!" ”

Saying that, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and the cute behavior of turning around and being coquettish like Hei Saburo really made her happier the more she thought about it. However, she didn't dare to really laugh out loud, in case Kurosaburo ran away in anger, how could it be good?

Hei Saburo couldn't feel the light tremor when Tsing Yi couldn't bear to laugh, but thinking that Tsing Yi had worked hard to maintain his dignity, then he turned a blind eye, and this time he barely bothered with her.

Thinking like this, he quietly tightened his arms again, and hugged Tsing Yi's slender waist very happily.

The two were tired of being crooked for a long time, until Xiuxiu slammed into the door, and they hurriedly separated.

The sky had begun to slowly darken, and Dongqiao followed behind Su Xi with a lantern.

Su Xi is like a willow branch swaying in the breeze, and her body is extremely light. Dongqiao lowered his head and stared at Suxi's loose skirt blindly, and the lantern in his hand emitted a hazy light.

The crimson skirt paused suddenly, and he followed.

Downstairs was the noisy lobby, and the sound of cups and cups was incessant, and the silence in the aisle where they were was staying.

Kurosaburo didn't know when he returned to the lobby, his lightning-fast figure was a little difficult to capture even the well-trained Higashihashi.

Dongqiao looked up at Su Xi at this time, and saw Su Xi standing on the railing, wearing a red shirt that lined a pair of beautiful eyes and ghosts.

She also had a fist-sized sachet tied to her wrist, a corner of which was half-hidden from her sleeve.

Dongqiao vaguely guessed what was loaded there, Su Xi didn't move for a moment, and he didn't move.

The feathered man has not been seen so far, but since nightfall, the number of guests entering the inn has gradually decreased.

Su Xi looked in the direction of the inn gate without blinking, as if he was waiting for the guests to come to the door.

"Plain little lady." Dongqiao finally spoke, "If it's okay, I'll be busy with other things." ”

Su Xi turned her head when she heard this, and Shuli's face was expressionless. She silently raised her hand and pointed to the door of the inn, and then her figure flashed, but she floated straight towards the door of the inn.

Dongqiao stood for a moment with a slightly blank expression, he really didn't understand what Su Xi meant, and after thinking about it, he could only guess that Su Xi wanted him to follow him to the gate.

“…… If only she could talk. Dongqiao said a rare word to himself, and then straightened his face and prepared to go down the stairs.

I didn't think that he had only walked halfway, and Su Xi, who had gone down first, suddenly turned back.

She walked slowly upstairs with her sleeves cuffed and her eyebrows lowered.

She was followed by a tall man and a slender and sickly young man, who at first glance were new guests, and they were very anxious to enter the room to rest. Their steps were so hurried that Su Xi, who led the way, had to speed up the speed of leading the way.

The wooden staircase made a muffled sound under their feet, but it was just a flash of effort, and Su Xi had already led them to the front of the East Bridge.

Dongqiao couldn't advance or retreat for a while, so he had no choice but to lean sideways against the railing to make his debut for them.

Su Xi raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Dongqiao's eyes, and then walked quickly towards the second floor with the guests.

The new guests were draped in large black cloaks, and most of their faces were hidden by the lowered brim. As they passed by Higashihashi, Higashihashi couldn't help but sneeze at the pungent aroma on their bodies.

And as he sneezed, he seemed to hear some tiny sound coming from under their cloaks.

His heart moved, but his face did not show it, but he raised his hand to cover his nose and followed with a lantern.

"What did he come along?" The slender young man stopped with anger and said, "Didn't I say that? We need to be pure! ”

Su Xi opened his mouth, pointed to his throat and said a word.

Dongqiao explained in a timely manner: "The little lady can't speak, and it may be difficult to serve the guest officials thoroughly, so the little one came with her—"

"Hmph, of course I know she can't speak." The young man Lang You was puzzled and said angrily, "You are not needed here, go down!" ”

Dongqiao hesitated and looked up to look at Su Xi, but Su Xi stood there without saying anything.

"Didn't you hear me?" Seeing that Dongqiao didn't leave immediately, the young man raised his voice more and more and shouted, "Get down!" ”

This time, Dongqiao didn't delay any longer, he took a step back, and really retreated.

When he reached the entrance of the stairs, he glanced back from afar, and saw Su Xi push open the door of a guest room in a secluded place, and lead the two cloaked guests into the room.

He shook the lantern in his hand thoughtfully, still thinking in his heart. When the young man scolded him angrily, he clearly heard a sound similar to the wriggling of scales on the other party's body.

Kurosaburo said earlier that the feather-robed man would move in tonight. So, are the two guests who didn't wear feathers the two birds the songbirds?

Because they hadn't looked closely, and they didn't have demonic energy on them, Dongqiao was also a little uncertain for a while.

He looked back at the room again, and thought something was wrong.

The guests in the lobby did not seem to be in a significant commotion, and the felt curtain at the door of the inn was frequently lifted and lowered, and the tide of customers returned.

The difference between these two guests is just a cup of tea before and after they enter the door.

Only then did Dongqiao taste the weirdness in it. He hurriedly ran to the gate, and did not greet customers, but only used the lantern to carefully check the dark places nearby.

There seemed to be something lurking in the dark corner, the sound of scales grinding against each other, and the unique sound of the long snake's tongue sticking out, made people feel a little panic in their hearts before they got close.

Dongqiao reluctantly raised the lantern and searched, but only saw a thick darkness. He thought about it for a moment and turned back to the inn.

At that time, Kurosaburo was standing there with an empty saucer about to laugh or not, and as soon as Higashibashi looked up, he knew what was happening.

"Xiuxiu." Hei Saburo smiled and said to Xiuxiu, who was helping to wipe the table on the side, "You go upstairs to greet the guests on behalf of Su Xi, if the guests there murder you, you just have to be more fierce than him." He used to bully Tsing Yi, he was a nasty guy, you don't have to be polite. ”

"Really?" Xiu Xiu frowned and said unhappily, "All the guys who bully Sister Tsing Yi are not good people!" Xiuxiu will immediately go to vent her anger to Sister Tsing Yi! "Santuchuan Inn
