(14) Chastity scales
Xuan Yao didn't know how to answer for a while, she turned her intestines around thousands of times, she only hoped that she could tie the knot with him in this life, but she didn't want it to come true at this moment.
Her eyes were hazy with tears, but she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Jinghua ......" only said two words, and then choked up.
He smiled, gently wiping away tears from her eyes. He put one hand around her and pressed it to his chest, but the other hand reached behind his back, and secretly pulled something down.
Seeing him frowning slightly, Xuan Yao said worriedly: "Jinghua, you ......"
"I'm fine. He said gently, unfolded his palm in front of her, and smiled slightly: "This is my chastity scales, don't throw them away." ”
The chaste scales on his hand are about the size of an inch, as thin as a cicada's wings, but the texture is hard, and there are dark lines in the circles when you look closely, cyan and turquoise, glowing with colorful pearls.
Xuan Yao was pleasantly surprised, almost couldn't believe her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you really, willing to exchange chastity scales with me?"
Zhen scales are unique to the Yinlong family.
In addition to being the emperor today, Yinlong has been intermarrying within the clan since ancient times, although he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but he is extremely loyal to his partner, monogamous, and will last a lifetime.
There is a special scale on the back of each Yinlong three inches and three minutes, the color is slightly different from other dragon scales, and it is more dazzling, even in the dark night, it can also emit a bright luster, which is very easy to identify, this piece is called Zhen scale.
Yinlong has a custom, that is, on the day of the wedding, the husband and wife exchange chastity scales, and can grow up in each other again, and the blood is blended, so they are recognized as a husband and wife for a lifetime, and they will be loyal to death.
Therefore, for Yinlong, exchanging chastity scales is equivalent to promising each other for life.
Seeing that Jinghua tore off his scales and handed them to herself, it was tantamount to praising him with a piece of sincerity, which was far better than 110,000 sweet words and vows.
The tears she had just wiped away fell back in panic, and the awkwardness, grievances, and self-righteous humiliations that she had felt sorry for before all disappeared immediately.
She lost her parents and clansmen since she was a child, and was lonely to the Nine Heavens, and was named a princess, but in fact she was still helpless.
She knew that she was not a real princess of the Celestial Clan, so although she was gentle and tactful on the surface, she was actually getting stronger and stronger, and she clenched her teeth and never showed people a joke.
She longed for Jinghua, but she didn't want to say it, she wanted to sit high, wait for him to beg, and hold her in her hand. Only in that way can she let go of the tired heart that has been hanging over the years, has been deliberately flattering, and is tired.
Jinghua knows. Although he rarely spoke, he was not as ignorant of love as Chenhua said.
He knew Xuan Yao's affection for him, and he also cherished the affection that moved her.
He knew her pride, how much courage it mustered to show him two consecutive gestures of goodwill, and he knew that he would never fail him.
He is a person who doesn't like to talk too much, and no matter how much he says, he might as well do it.
He and her, originally sympathetic to each other, could only rely on each other to keep warm in this cold and ethereal ninefold sky.
So, what is the difference between giving her his chastity scales at this time and giving it to her on the wedding night?
Kuafu's battle, life and death are ethereal, it is better to give her the scales now, calm her anger, comfort her heart, so that she no longer has to suffer from gains and losses, self-indulgence, let her know that her heart is not a secret promise, he sees it, he will cherish it.
She was really happy, while crying pear blossoms and rain, but she couldn't help laughing, and shyly wanted to tear the scales on her back, but he gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to come back." ”
He hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Xuan Yao, wait for the day I marry you." ”

When Jinghua left, there was a slight rain in the sky, he walked to the Nantianmen, saw Chenhua waiting there, and brought him two bottles of wound medicine.
"I went to the pharmacist to ask for it, and I heard that it was a healing product. You can't escape the eighty-one swords, so it's better to pay attention to yourself and prepare more. Chenhua looked at him, still smiling brightly, heartless.
"I'm afraid I won't need this. Jinghua smiled. Chenhua has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know that he can't even pay attention for a moment when the real knife is actually fighting, so how can you have the time to apply any medicine to stop bleeding? However, it is difficult for him, a person who does not touch the spring water with his ten fingers can think of it so carefully.
"Hey, be prepared! I'll bring it for you!" Chenhua didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, stuffed it into Changning's hand, and said in surprise: "You, you are so lonely and left?" Second brother, what about the four soldiers of your life that day?"
Jinghua said lightly: "This time is for my personal matter, and it is not appropriate to damage the strength of the Heavenly Clan for this." ”
Chenhua's face changed when he heard this, and he jumped up and shouted: "Father, what are you kidding! Praise Father, that's an ancient god who is higher than your cultivation for tens of thousands of years! Even if those heavenly soldiers and generals are useless, it's good to help you carry a big knife and make a strong voice! Second brother, it's not that I can't believe you, but this ...... It's child's play!"
The wind of Nantianmen was like a knife, Jinghua only felt a faint pain in his chest, he didn't want to listen to Chenhua's chatter, he just wanted to interrupt him, but he couldn't help coughing sharply, and only raised his head after a while, he couldn't see any expression on his pale face, and said in a low voice: "The military order is like a mountain, don't talk about it!"
He strode away, Changning frowned, but he had to follow quickly.
Chenhua was behind him, looking at his thin but firm back under his hunting robe, and said hatefully: "Xuanyuan Jinghua, you are always so self-righteous! Do you know how worried Xuan Yao is every time you go on an expedition! You, if you don't come back, what will you do if you call her?"
"If she can't come back, then she won't have to worry about it anymore. Jinghua seemed to smile, his voice scattered in the wind, and he didn't even look back.

Mo sneaked out.
There were 360 tables for my father's birthday banquet, and it was still endless from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day.
Every day, she was ordered to change into layers of complicated palace skirts that had to fall twice, wore a heavy crown of pearl hairpins that crushed people to death, sat next to her sister A Xiang, and put on a reserved and dignified smile that was almost cramping at every guest who came and went. -
