Chapter 253: Gathering in the Imperial City
After the ceremony of recognizing the lord, all the beasts looked at the Silver Rat King with envy, and the Silver Rat King jumped onto Leng Ruoxue's shoulder with a shy face, and the depression in the heart of the head of the Ning family when he saw this scene could no longer be described in words.
He couldn't figure it out, Weishenme would be like this? I thought that the victory was in my hands, but who knew that it would turn around, even if he wanted to oppose Xue'er girl to set up a territory here, there was no reasonable reason, woo... Thinking of this, the head of the Ning family looked at Leng Ruoxue's gaze and became more and more resentful.
Leng Ruoxue caught a glimpse of her godfather's gaze, her heart was full of helplessness, she knew that the godfather must be unwilling, but unfortunately the matter has come to this, even if he is unwilling, it is useless, she snickered in her heart.
"Godfather! I've fulfilled your request. Leng Ruoxue reminded with a faint smile.
"Hmm." The head of the Ning family responded angrily, and then turned his head angrily, not looking at the slightly smug little girl, he was really angry! He said indignantly in his heart, others want to collect a beast, I don't know how much effort it takes, but this girl wants to collect beasts, but some beasts take the initiative to send it to the door, this is really more popular than people! He was a little envious, jealous and hateful.
"Godfather, you won't object to me setting up my territory here this time, will you?" Leng Ruoxue said knowingly.
"You bad girl, is it useful for me to object?" The head of the Ning family shouted with angry eyes.
"Of course it's useless, because I've done what you asked." Leng Ruoxue smiled at Mimi.
"And you still ask me?" The head of the Ning family was furious in his heart, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"I just wanted to remind you, lest you fall on the bill!" Leng Ruoxue said a little aggrieved, but she was snickering in her heart.
"Don't worry! I'm not going to pay for it! The head of the Ning family blushed, and after speaking, he threw away angrily.
"Godfather!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the back of her godfather and shouted softly, but the head of the Ning family was so angry that he didn't even look back, and left the living room directly.
"Alas!" Seeing this, Leng Ruoxue sighed helplessly, godfather is sometimes like a child, he has to be coaxed!
Then, Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to the beasts in the house, and after thanking them for their arrival and cooperation, Leng Ruoxue asked Feng Da to send them back, and the Silver Rat King had become her beasts, so she naturally stayed.
Looking at the beautiful and small Silver Rat King, Leng Ruoxue's gaze became more and more gentle, and she asked with some curiosity: "Silver Rat King, how many people are there in your Silver Rat Clan?" ”
"Master, our Silver Rat Clan reproduces very quickly, and there are at least thousands of clansmen, but our cultivation is a little difficult, so the strength of our clansmen is not very high." The Silver Rat King said truthfully, lowering his little head as he spoke, as if he was afraid that Leng Ruoxue would dislike his people.
"Oh! Do you have any skills? Leng Ruoxue asked again.
"Yes! We Silver Rat Clan have many ears and eyes, and it is difficult to hide anything that happens in this demonic land from us. Speaking of the housekeeping skills of the Silver Rat Clan, the Silver Rat King looked up at Leng Ruoxue with his head raised his head and chest up, and his little face was full of pride.
Leng Ruoxue listened to the words of the Silver Rat King, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect that this Silver Rat clan still had the potential to be a spy, but she was quite interested in this ability.
"Silver Rat King, since your people have such skills, let them be in charge of intelligence gathering in the Demon Land from now on! If strangers come to the Demon Land, let them keep an eye on me, and report the situation at any time. Leng Ruoxue thought about it and commanded.
"Yes!" The Silver Rat King raised a small paw and half-raised it to the top of his head, as if he had accepted a very honorable mission, and said with great seriousness.
"The hosts! I have a debriefing right now, I wonder if you want to hear it? Then, the Silver Rat King asked in a mysterious whisper.
"What's the situation?" Leng Ruoxue was very surprised, she just finished speaking, this little guy has a situation to report? That's a bit too fast, isn't it?
"It's about the beasts of the Demon Land." The Silver Rat King said truthfully.
"Huh?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful face was full of question marks.
"The hosts! That's right, our Silver Rat clan has lived in the Demon Land for many years, so we are very familiar with the beasts here, so we know some of their gossip, and this is also a secret that many beasts don't want to know, but you are my master, so I don't think I should hide anything from you. The Silver Rat King explained.
"Ugh!" The words of the Silver Rat King made Leng Ruoxue's forehead full of black lines, it turned out that this little guy wanted to tell her the gossip of the beasts and beasts of the Demon Land! She thought it was some important news!
"The hosts! Aren't you interested in any of that? The Silver Rat King didn't feel Leng Ruoxue's excitement, so he asked very slightly.
"Little silver rat, tell me first, if I know this, will it be of any use to me?" Leng Ruoxue stroked the little head of the Silver Rat King and asked a little speechlessly.
"The hosts! It's very useful! The Silver Rat King nodded his head hard.
"Huh? What's the use? Leng Ruoxue's curiosity was aroused.
"Master, if those orcs in the Demon Land you off, or if they are disobedient, you can use this to threaten them, it works! Hey! I can become the master's beast, and there is no beast to rob the master with me, because I know their gossip, they are afraid that I will tell their troubles, so they don't dare to rob the master with me! The Silver Rat King said with a slight smugness.
"Ugh!" The words of the Silver Rat King made Leng Ruoxue speechless again, she didn't expect that the inside story of the Silver Rat Clan's recognition of the Lord was because she was afraid that her scandal would be exposed, but this Silver Rat King was very smart and knew how to use his advantages, otherwise, he would not have become his own beast.
"The hosts! Our Silver Rat Clan is very weak, and there are too many beast clans that want to recognize the master as the master, so I have no choice but to make this decision. The Silver Rat King was afraid that his master would misunderstand that he was a despicable mouse, so he hurriedly explained again.
"It's okay, as the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, you can think of using your advantages to achieve your own goals, it's very smart!" Leng Ruoxue praised.
"The hosts! You don't blame me? The Silver Rat King asked with some uncertainty.
"No blame! You're my beast now, how could I blame you! Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile, and then she admonished: "Little silver rat, in the future, the safety of our territory will be handed over to your people!" ”
"No problem, the master will hand over the territory to us safely, just put a hundred hearts!" The Silver Rat King assured.
"Well, let's go, I'll take you to get to know our own people." Leng Ruoxue said, and after speaking, he left the living room with the Silver Rat King.
After solemnly introducing Feng Da and the others to the Silver Rat King again, Leng Ruoxue took the Silver Rat King into the bracelet again, wanting to introduce Qingjue to it, but as soon as the Silver Rat King entered the bracelet, he was completely dumbfounded.
The Silver Rat King's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, and rubbed his eyes with his little paws, and confirmed that it was not himself who was dazzled.
W-Where is this? The aura here is so rich, it is so comfortable that it wants to lie on the ground and roll, and the next second, the silver rat king saw a white and chubby little milk baby appear in front of him, and stared at him condescendingly.
"Y-Hello!" The silver rat king, who came back to his senses, stammered a little, and the instinct of the beast made it very clear that the little doll in front of him was powerful, at least this little doll was not something it could afford to provoke.
I have to say that the sense of beasts and beasts is very keen, Qingjue is the instrument spirit of the 'Qiankun Bracelet', in addition to Leng Ruoxue, the humans or beasts who enter the bracelet will be subject to his constraints as the big butler, and this is the right of the machine spirit, he is the owner of the bracelet, and his master is Leng Ruoxue.
"Little mouse, I'm Qingjue, the big housekeeper here, if you need anything in the future, just come to me, as for our master, that is, my sister, if there is nothing important, it's best not to bother her, her fiancé is very fierce, if you pester your sister and are found by him, you have to bear the consequences!" Qingjue reminded with a wicked smile, and Leng Ruoxue couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard Qingjue's words, she didn't know what Qingjue's reputation for ruining demons like this meant?
"Oh! I know. After listening to what Qingjue said, the Silver Rat King looked at him with a grateful face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is a good person!
Then, Qingjue took the initiative to take the very obedient Silver Rat King to visit the space, and told it very carefully where it could go and where it was forbidden to go.
After a circle, the Silver Rat King also had a general understanding of this place, and the more it understood, the more fortunate it felt in its heart, fortunately it had grabbed the place to recognize the master, otherwise, how could it enter such a beautiful place! It's so satisfying here, and besides, it's also very conducive to your own cultivation.
Thinking of this, the Silver Rat King couldn't help but grin.
Qingjue looked at the stupid appearance of the Silver Rat King in surprise, and as soon as his mind turned, he threw it in the garden and went to work himself.
At the same time, the depressed head of the Ning family ran to Uncle Long's room and complained to him.
Uncle Long frowned, listening to the head of the Ning family gushing and complaining, but listening to it, he actually wanted to sleep.
Seeing his eyelids drooping, the head of the Ning family roared in his ear: "Old whale! You're drooling! ”
"Ugh! Where? Ning family boy, you dare to lie to me? Uncle Long, who was half-asleep and half-awake, heard the words of the head of the Ning family, and subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, but found that he had been fooled, which couldn't help but make him angry.
Damn it! Obviously, it was the Ning family kid who pulled him to complain non-stop, and it wasn't his fault that he was sleepy when he listened, weishenme wanted to lie to him?
"You're asleep!" The head of the Ning family stared, and the anger in his heart surged.
"You've said the same thing several times, it's no wonder I'm not asleep!" Uncle Long said helplessly.
"I—I'm not just looking for someone to talk to! I panicked in my heart. After listening to Uncle Long's words, the head of the Ning family said with a look of grievance.
"What's this? Really. "Uncle Long is a little speechless, alas! Is it worth it for him to do this?
"I didn't expect things to turn around, I would have won." The face of the head of the Ning family was full of unwillingness.
"Ning family boy, if I say, you can't win at all, do you believe it?" After staring at the head of the Ning family for a long time, Uncle Long sighed lightly and said with a little sympathy.
"Of course I don't believe it!" The head of the Ning family was unconvinced.
"Alas! If you care, it's messy! In fact, the little girl is not as weak as you think, don't forget, but she rescued you from the secret realm, if she hadn't gone, you would just be trapped in it now! Since she has that ability, what are you worried about! Other people's grandfathers and brothers are not like you! "Uncle Long has something that he can't stand it.
"You know what? How do you know they're not like this in private? The head of the Ning family couldn't help but roar again.
"I have eyes to see that they are not like you, in fact, they trust the little girl very much, and you? It's always not worrying, it's not worrying, if you want me to say, you just find a rope to tie the little girl to your side. Uncle Long suggested.
"You—You're trying to me off, aren't you?" Uncle Long's words made the head of the Ning family even angrier, hum! He wanted to tie Xue'er girl to his side, but could that little girl do it?
"Contrary to the word! Whether you listen to it or not, I have to remind you that it is time to send someone to the Divine Lord's Mansion to record the territory of the little girl, otherwise, the little girl and the others will not be able to participate in the elite conference. Uncle Long reminded that he was afraid that the Ning family kid would get angry and forget about the business, after all, the elite conference was about to start in half a month.
"I know! I've already sent someone. The head of the Ning family said depressedly, although he felt aggrieved, but he promised Xue'er that he would not repay the debt, so after the matter of the territory was decided, he had already sent someone to the Divine Lord's Mansion to record Xue'er's territory.
"Since you've sent someone, what's so upset!" Uncle Long couldn't understand him, didn't this old boy have nothing to do!
"Can't I find someone to complain about?" The head of the Ning family widened his eyes and said viciously.
"Okay! How could it not work, but my ears are almost calloused, why don't you complain with someone else? Uncle Long proposed.
"No! I can't find anyone but you. "The head of the Ning family is a bit of a scoundrel.
"So, why are you still relying on me?" Uncle Long was a little speechless, the boy of the Ning family has lived for a long time, how can he be willful and still look like a child, to be honest, the little girl is more sensible than him!
"That's right! I'm up to you. The head of the Ning family laughed a little obscenely, in fact, he mainly felt that Uncle Long was older than him, and it wouldn't be too embarrassing to complain to him, if he really listened to Uncle Long and went to find someone else to complain, then how could he see people in the future!
"Stinky boy, you're kind! Let's go, I'll go with you alone! "Uncle Long is angry, the consequences are serious!
Then, Uncle Long grabbed the collar of the head of the Ning family and dragged him out of his house.
As for the location of their heads-up, no one knows, but afterwards, the bright bruises on the face of the head of the Ning family made everyone quite impressed, because the scars on the face of the head of the Ning family have been with them for a long time.
Although there are many people who wonder why the head of the Ning family doesn't give him healing pills, however, because of his identity, no one is embarrassed to ask, zuihou, or the silver rat king solved their confusion, because Uncle Long said that he wanted the head of the Ning family to remember this profound lesson, so he was not allowed to take healing pills, and the wounds on his face should heal themselves!
If the head of the Ning family dares to disobey his orders, he will bear the consequences! As for the meaning of this conceit, everyone guessed that it should be a more serious meaning that would be beaten. After knowing this, everyone sympathized with the head of the Ning family, and even their attitude towards him was much better than before, and this change made the head of the Ning family depressed for a while.
As for Uncle Long, after beating the head of the Ning family, he felt that the old boy was also honest, and he didn't bother him, so he was happy to moisten every day.
A week later.
The person sent by the head of the Ning family to the Divine Lord's Mansion to record Leng Ruoxue's territory has returned.
After handing over the territory certificate to Leng Ruoxue, Leng Ruoxue began to build the residence of herself and the others, but they were about to go to the elite conference, so they only chose a location and built the general framework of the house.
Leng Ruoxue's territory was the mountain she had chosen before, that mountain was the highest in the Demon Land, the area of the mountain was very large, and there were only two small orcs living on that mountain, and they had become the closest neighbors to Leng Ruoxue.
The main body of the house built this time is still designed according to the home they had when they were in the Lingfeng Continent, which is mainly to satisfy the grandfather's homesickness, in addition, two annexes were built next to the main house, one left and one right to guard the main house, which is also the request of the head of the Ning family, because he will come to live here from time to time, and the other courtyard is ready to bring his subordinates or visiting guests to live.
After the frame of the house was built, the beasts and beasts of the Demon Land took the initiative to undertake the rest of the construction work, although they were not very particular about their own residence, but they attached great importance to the place where Leng Ruoxue would live in the future, and Leng Ruoxue left the Demon Land with the Ning family master and others after handing over the drawings of the house to them.
At this time, less than a week before the Elite Conference, Leng Ruoxue and the others worked day and night, and finally arrived in the Imperial City the day before the Elite Conference competition.
As soon as she entered the imperial city, Leng Ruoxue's first feeling was that there were a lot of people, and it was not an exaggeration to describe the streets of the city as crowded, Leng Ruoxue and others at this moment did not change their appearance, therefore, their line of people also attracted countless eyes, but most of them were amazed and jealous, and many people showed them a friendly smile.
Secondly, the Imperial City is very large and prosperous, there are many shops on the street, the decoration of each shop is extremely luxurious, and the major trade unions in the Imperial City are also very magnificent from the outside, in short, everything in the Imperial City is very suitable for the supreme status of the Imperial City as the Divine Lord's Mansion.
Not long after entering the Imperial City, the elders of the Ning family, who had come here first, appeared in front of them with a smile on their faces.
"The head of the family, Senior Long, Miss Leng, I have been waiting for a long time." The one who spoke was a short and fat middle-aged man, he was also the elder in charge of foreign affairs liaison in the Ning family, and among the elders of the Ning family, his status was very ordinary, but because he was sleek enough, he was in charge of foreign affairs in the Ning family.
"Hmm." The head of the Ning family nodded slightly, and then commanded again: "Take us to the other courtyard!" ”
"Yes!" The foreign affairs elder hurriedly replied.
Then, lead the way in front.
Generally speaking, when the major families in the Divine Realm come to participate in the elite conference, they should live in the inn arranged by the Divine Lord's Mansion, however, the Ning family, as the head of the Eight Great Divine Domains, has its own courtyard in the Imperial City, so super families like them naturally don't need to be crowded into overcrowded inns like other families, and those who have such privileges are all important shili in the Divine Realm.
After arriving at the Ning family's courtyard, the foreign affairs elder of the Ning family first arranged a room for Leng Ruoxue and the others, and then respectfully waited in the living room for Leng Ruoxue's orders.
In fact, with his identity, there is no need to grovel so much, but he knows very well Leng Ruoxue's status in the heart of his own family, so he unconsciously lowered his posture, after all, in his opinion, pleasing Leng Ruoxue is naturally equivalent to pleasing the head of the family, no matter how you look at yourself, you will not suffer.
Seeing him like this, Leng Ruoxue had to tell him clearly that he didn't have anything to do, and when the foreign affairs elder saw this, he turned around and left with a little embarrassment.
After the foreign affairs elder left, Leng Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, she didn't like others to be so deliberately flattered, and her purpose was too strong.
Seeing that Leng Ruoxue seemed to be relieved, the demon couldn't help but chuckle and teased: "Haha! Xue'er, if that foreign affairs elder knows that you don't like this, I don't know if he will be disappointed! ”
"I guess so!" Leng Ruoxue was a little helpless.
"Then let him down!" The demon said with a wicked smile.
"Girl! You're really different! If someone else is so respected, it's too late to be happy, but you avoid it like a femme fatale! At this time, Uncle Long, who was idle and had nothing to do, also teased, with a gentle smile on his serious face.
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Leng Ruoxue said with some fear, she didn't want to be calculated, although the foreign affairs elder had no evil thoughts towards her.
"Who is a traitor or a thief?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came into the ears of Leng Ruoxue and the others, and everyone looked up to see that the Great Elder of the Instrument Master Association was walking in from outside.
"Great Elder, you're here." After Leng Ruoxue saw the Great Elder, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Girl! You haven't seen me for so long, and you haven't missed me? It's so unconscionable. The Great Elder said to himself, he didn't give Leng Ruoxue a chance to speak at all, and while speaking, there was a strong resentment on his face.
"Ugh!" Leng Ruoxue was completely speechless after listening to the words of the Great Elder, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, okay? Moreover, the Great Elder didn't give her a chance to speak, so he gave her a big hat that didn't want him, woo... She's so wronged!
"Girl, you have to compensate me!" The Great Elder ignored the depression on Leng Ruoxue's face and continued.
"How does the Great Elder want me to compensate you?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a helpless smile, at this time, even if she was sluggish, she could hear it, the Great Elder was deliberately finding fault, but she didn't know what was going on?
"Make me something delicious! I haven't eaten in a long time, alas! After eating the food you cooked, others couldn't eat it at all. The Great Elder's words were very pitiful, and he had a masochistic expression on his face.
Leng Ruoxue couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it.
Just for a meal, he said that he had no conscience and didn't want him?
Helpless, Leng Ruoxue still instructed Grape and Lotus Seeds to get some food for the Great Elder, lest the Great Elder complain about her again.
When the Great Elder ate the food, his face was full of smiles.
"You old foodie, I said why don't you want to wait for me! It turns out that I came here to eat alone! Just when the Great Elder was feasting, another familiar voice came into everyone's ears, and everyone looked up again and saw that it was the head of the Cheng family who appeared this time.
However, the head of the Cheng family did not greet them at all, but rushed to the dining table and grabbed the food with the Great Elder, and suddenly, everyone saw two figures flashing around, and the food on the table was rapidly decreasing at a speed that was invisible...
A moment later.
The two split the food on the table.
When the head of the Ning family came to the living room where Leng Ruoxue lived, he only saw a table of plates and bowls, as well as the tempting aroma of vegetables wafting in the living room, and two old guys who were disrespectful, sitting on the chair with satisfaction and burping, suddenly, his heart was on fire, and he directly dragged the Great Elder and the Cheng family master out of the living room, and when they appeared again, the faces of the Great Elder and the Cheng family head were also colored to varying degrees.
The Great Elder and the head of the Cheng family lowered their heads embarrassedly in front of everyone, while the head of the Ning family had a hint of pride on his face, sweeping away his previous haze, at this moment, he was in a very good mood.
Seeing the appearance of the Great Elder and the head of the Cheng family, Leng Ruoxue and the others knew in their hearts that the godfather was taking revenge! After all, he was beaten badly by Uncle Long before.
And Uncle Long didn't seem to see that the head of the Ning family was too proud, and said with a smile: "Ning family boy, you are out of breath!" ”
"Ugh! Brother Long, are you still used to living here? Did the attendants fail to serve well? Hearing Uncle Long's unkind words, the head of the Ning family immediately turned into a dog's leg and said with a begging face.
"Ning family boy, are you confused? We've just arrived here and haven't started living yet! How do I know if I'm used to it? Uncle Long said with a forced smile.
"Brother Long, I mean you live and try it first, if you don't get used to it or if there is something inconsiderate, tell me immediately, I am arranging other places for your old man." The head of the Ning family hurriedly explained, woo... He can't afford to mess with this old guy.
"Well, then I'll try to live first." Uncle Long said lightly.
Hearing Uncle Long's words, the heart of the head of the Ning family was temporarily in his stomach, but it was rare for the Great Elder and the head of the Cheng family to see him in such a dog-legged side, so they all stared in disbelief, as if they had seen an alien.
"Are you Old Man Ning?" After a while, the Great Elder couldn't help but ask, Jun's face was full of surprise!
