Chapter 360: Why Are You Here?
"Don't be afraid! They are them, I am me, and I believe that Miss Leng is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Dongfang Lin said confidently.
"Not necessarily, I'm holding a grudge." Leng Ruoxue smiled and said with a smile.
"Ugh!" These words made Dongfang Lin not know how to continue, so he could only look at Leng Ruoxue at a loss.
Seeing this, Leng Ruoxue smiled secretly in her heart, and then asked, "Is Your Excellency Dongfang Lin still used to being in Yaojialou these days?" β
"It's fine!" Dongfang Lin couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart, is this a pot that can't be opened? Woo... It was the most humiliating thing he'd ever done in his life! Of course, he was referring to not having enough money to eat.
"Then do it! Strive to pay off the debt as soon as possible and go home. Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
"I will!" Dongfang Lin was very depressed, with only five high-grade spars a month, he didn't know that he had to pay back the arrears to the Year of the Monkey, he had no confidence, maybe he had to sell it to Yaojialou for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Lin turned his mind and said, "Miss Leng, I don't know if you can change my position?" My current job is a bit overkill for me. β
"Your Excellency Dongfang Lin really doesn't know what modesty is! Tell me about it! What position do you want to change to? I'll think about it. Leng Ruoxue glanced at Dongfang Lin, and said lightly, she had heard Uncle Long and others mention Dongfang Lin's resourcefulness, so she didn't plan to let Dongfang Lin always engage in the work of a waiter, but well! She won't make it easy for him to do it! Hey!
At this moment, Leng Ruoxue felt very bad.
"I can be a think tank for Miss Leng and assist Miss Leng in achieving great things." Dongfang Lin hurriedly said, the expression on his face was very calm.
"Is there anything big I need to do?" Leng Ruoxue blinked her beautiful eyes and pretended to be innocent.
"Ugh!" Dongfang Lin's stomach was stiffly stuck in his throat because of Leng Ruoxue's innocent expression, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Miss Leng doesn't want to avenge Lord Yu?" With my advice, it is definitely a tiger for Miss Leng. β
"Of course I will avenge the master's revenge, but I want to know if you only represent yourself, or if you also represent Dongfang Yue and the others." Leng Ruoxue asked calmly, the expression on her face could not show joy or anger, and she did not show any ecstatic appearance because of Dongfang Lin's words.
Seeing this, Dongfang Lin was more satisfied with Leng Ruoxue, but this little girl didn't seem to be very satisfied with him! This fact made him quite a headache and helpless.
"At present, it is on my own behalf, but I will find a way to convince my eldest brother to do it." Dongfang Lin thought for a while.
"Miss Leng, I am very sincere, and it is not entirely because I owe you a huge debt to make such a decision, in fact, I came to see Miss Leng this time, and I also have this purpose, but I didn't expect that a visit to Yaojialou would make me owe a huge amount of money, so I was so late to see Miss Leng, and now it seems that I can only use this method to repay the debt, and I hope Miss Leng doesn't mind." Dongfang Lin explained.
Seeing that Dongfang Lin was full of sincerity, Leng Ruoxue's impression of him was much better, and his attitude eased a lot, and said to Dongfang Lin with a smile: "Since you have this heart, then of course I want to fulfill you, but if Dongfang Yue and the others are really unwilling, you don't need to be reluctant, there are not a few people around me!" β
"I understand!" Dongfang Lin nodded, it seemed that Leng Ruoxue had a clear grievance, and then, he stood up again, and gave Leng Ruoxue a salute, and said very respectfully: "Subordinates see the young master!" β
He called Leng Ruoxue Young Master, which means that he recognized Leng Ruoxue's identity and regarded himself as a subordinate.
In fact, Dongfang Lin had some such plans before he came, but he had to meet Leng Ruoxue before he could decide, and he didn't mention these words to anyone when he came, and now that he saw Leng Ruoxue, he was very satisfied with Leng Ruoxue, and he was willing to assist such a young master to avenge Lord Yu, so in order to make his position clear, he immediately stated his attitude, as for the eldest brother and others, he still had to find a way to convince!
"No need to be polite." Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly and said, Dongfang Lin is a top Daoist.
"Yes, the ceremony must not be abolished!" In this regard, Dongfang Lin insisted very much, after all, he will not be the only one by Leng Ruoxue's side in the future, and the rules that should be followed should still be followed, lest some people do not take Leng Ruoxue seriously, and then there will be chaos.
"In private, it doesn't have to be." Seeing that Dongfang Lin was a little stubborn, Leng Ruoxue compromised.
"Yes, young master." Dongfang Lin nodded, and then sat down again.
Then, Leng Ruoxue introduced him to the demon, of course, she didn't say the identity of the demon, and then sent someone to invite Uncle Long and others.
Bing Yao and Qing Yang were finally able to see Dongfang Lin openly, and both of them were very happy, after all, everyone was an old acquaintance and had a lot of common topics, but Dongfang Lin was a delicate person, and in a short period of time, he had a hot fight with everyone, and even talked about everything.
I don't know how long I chatted, Dongfang Lin reluctantly said goodbye to Bingyao and others, and returned to Yaojialou at the foot of the mountain.
After Dongfang Lin left, Uncle Long quietly asked Leng Ruoxue: "Girl, Dongfang Lin is good, much stronger than those people." β
"Uncle Long is very satisfied with him?" Leng Ruoxue said clearly.
"Of course I am satisfied, I think back then, with Dongfang Lin's identity and status, I couldn't easily see it, I didn't expect that I could be so close to him now." Uncle Long said with some excitement, back then, his strength was just not bad, although he was famous, but compared to Dongfang Lin and Dongfang Yue brothers, it was still far behind! And these two can also be regarded as one of his idols, of course, their status in their hearts is definitely not as good as that of the royal lord.
"Yes! I didn't expect that either. The head of the Ning family also sighed.
Leng Ruoxue saw the slightly excited looks of the two of them, and smiled helplessly: "Uncle Long, godfather, you calm down, he will be our own person in the future, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to contact him?" β
"Hey, hey! Aren't we getting too excited! However, Dongfang Lin does have more vision than his eldest brother, and he can see that Xue'er is good. Uncle Long complimented.
"It's not that Dongfang Yue didn't see it, it's just that those people around him are not very satisfied with me and don't want to be subservient to me." Leng Ruoxue knows this.
"I don't know how Dongfang Lin plans to convince Dongfang Yue and the others." Uncle Long is looking forward to it.
Hearing this, Leng Ruoxue thought to herself, in fact, in her opinion, Dongfang Yue is still easy to convince, but some people on their side are more stubborn, and it seems that she has to kill chickens and monkeys.
With such an idea, when Dongfang Lin told her the next day that she wanted to go back to Black Mist City, Leng Ruoxue immediately decided to take the demon, Cang, and Uncle Long back with him, while the head of the Ning family and the others stayed at home.
On the way, Leng Ruoxue kept feeling that two very unfriendly gazes had been following her, and when she turned her head, those two gazes disappeared immediately, but she knew very well who this gaze belonged to.
Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue smiled and said to Dongfang Lin: "Lin, your two subordinates might as well stay in Yaojialou and continue to work, otherwise when will the money you owe be paid off!" β
"Ugh!" When Dongfang Lin heard this, a few drops of cold sweat slipped on his forehead, and he wanted to cry without tears in his heart, can you not mention this? finally asked for leave to go home, why did you still remind him to remember this?
Dongfang Lin was very depressed, and looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly, without saying much. However, he didn't say anything, and his two subordinates couldn't help but jump out.
"Humph! Isn't that the money? When you return to Black Mist City, you will be returned! One of his subordinates shouted angrily, but with the Lord here, he still restrained himself.
But even so, Dongfang Lin had a headache when he heard him say this, damn it! How dare he say such a thing in front of Leng Ruoxue?
"Shut up! Is there a place for you to speak? Dongfang Lin's eyes swept lightly on the subordinate's body, and reprimanded, the subordinate's heart trembled when he heard this, and he was immediately silenced.
"Lin, I'm very democratic, since your subordinates have opinions about me, let them say it, don't stop you, I still want to hear their voices!" Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile.
"Doesn't you have to?" Dongfang Lin said a little scared, if their hearts and dissatisfaction were really heard by Leng Ruoxue, they were afraid that they would be unlucky. Although he hasn't been with Leng Ruoxue for a long time, he knows that this girl is definitely a flaw that must be reported.
"It's necessary. As a superior, it is necessary to listen appropriately to the opinions of the below, so that it is conducive to the leadership. Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile, and then looked at the two silent subordinates with beautiful eyes, but after the two of them received Dongfang Lin's warning, they didn't dare to talk nonsense easily.
Leng Ruoxue was a little disappointed when she saw this.
Then the crowd continued on their way.
Late one night.
Leng Ruoxue and the others were camping in the wild as usual. Of course, several of them lived in the house she was carrying, but in the middle of the night, it suddenly began to rain heavily, and they sat in the garden and listened to the sound of the rain.
At this moment, there was a 'rustling' sound in the rain, and Leng Ruoxue and the others immediately raised their vigilance.
Immediately, everyone saw that the sky above the transparent roof was covered by a black oppressive object.
"So many snakes!" One of Dongfang Lin's subordinates exclaimed, he felt his hairs stand on end, because he hated snakes the most.
"Where are so many snakes?" Dongfang Lin saw the black python that was spitting out the snake core, and his scalp was also a little numb, especially when he saw the red light flashing from time to time in the indifferent black eyes of the giant snake, he was even more disgusted with these snakes, because these snakes were obviously controlled by people, but he didn't know if these snakes were coming at him, or because they were cold and snowy. But whoever it is, they seem to be in trouble.
"Leave them alone, they won't get in." Leng Ruoxue glanced at the giant python on the roof and said very calmly.
"They can't get in, but we can't get out!" Another subordinate reminded.
"What if I say, we can get out?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the subordinate with a smile and asked.
"Ugh! Then get out of here! Being treated as a meal by these snakes is no joke, and besides, these snakes are obviously poisonous. The subordinate continued, and after speaking, he glanced at the triangular heads of the snakes on the roof, and cold sweat came down again.
"It's raining so hard outside, are you sure you want to go out now?" Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows and asked.
"That's... Let's wait until tomorrow when the rain stops! The subordinate looked at the sky and said with palpitations, at this time, a lightning bolt from the sky outside, accompanied by thunder, suddenly frightened a spirit, and his face turned a little pale.
"You subordinates are quite cowardly!" Leng Ruoxue said lightly, and then said: "It's not early, let's rest early!" β
After speaking, Leng Ruoxue directly took away the demon, and Uncle Long also went back to the room when he saw this.
After they left, only Cang, Dongfang Lin and his two subordinates were left in the garden, but at this time, Dongfang Lin did not know Cang's identity, and no one told him, so in his eyes, Cang was just a cute little beast, especially at this moment, Cang changed into the image of a little rabbit and pretended to be a pig and a tiger, and Dongfang Lin thought it was Leng Ruoxue's pet.
After holding Cang in his arms and touching the soft fluff on its body, Dongfang Lin was very dissatisfied and said to the two subordinates: "It's really embarrassing, the courage is even smaller than that of a girl!" If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have brought you out with me! β
"Lord!" The two subordinates were very aggrieved, however, Dongfang Lin didn't want to see them at this time, and said directly: "Disappear in front of me immediately, I don't want to see you now." β
"Yes!" The two subordinates replied depressedly, and then exited the garden.
After they left, the bright starry eyes swirled around Dongfang Lin's body, and Dongfang Lin was uncomfortable.
To be honest, he didn't know this little rabbit very well, because most of the time, it was lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms, but Yechen seemed to be dissatisfied with it, and when he was fine, he stared at it with big eyes, so that this rabbit aroused its interest.
How much guts and courage it takes to dare to compete with your master's fiancΓ©!
"Little one, what are you thinking about!" Sensing Dongfang Lin's thoughts, Cang said with some dissatisfaction.
"Ahh Are you talking to me? Dongfang Lin was a little flattered, this was the first time this rabbit had spoken to him! But how does it call itself a little guy? This title made him extremely depressed.
"Nonsense! Didn't I talk to you, did I talk to a ghost? Don't you look at anyone else here! I really don't know how you became famous back then, I really don't see how smart you are. Cang began to dislike it.
"Ugh!" The sharp language made Dongfang Lin stunned, and he didn't know how to continue, it seemed that this rabbit looked down on himself!
Long.
Dongfang Lin was able to make a statement, and then said, "That little rabbit, can you not call me a little guy?" You're the little guy, aren't you? "For the pet who is cold as snow, he also has to love the house and the house drop! At least that's what he thinks, otherwise, this little beast will give him some eye medicine in front of Leng Ruoxue, who will he cry to! Therefore, he resolutely did not dare to offend this rabbit.
From this point of view, he is smarter than Dongfang Yue and others, and he also knows how to judge the situation, to put it bluntly, he will not look down on people and bully others!
"I'm not a little guy, don't call me a bunny, please call me Cang!" Cang corrected.
"Alright! Blue! I'm not a little guy either! I've lived for a long time. Dongfang Lin reminded.
"Have you had the Micha you have in mind for a long time?" Cang asked lightly.
"Surely not!" Dongfang Lin hurriedly said.
"That's it! I was born with the stupid guy behind the feet, do you think I can call you a little one? Cang continued to ask.
"If that's the case, you can really call me that, but Mi-sama isn't stupid, so you can't call him that." Dongfang Lin said with a disapproving face, no one can replace the status of the Imperial Lord in his heart, therefore, he will never allow anyone to say this about the Imperial Lord, and what makes him feel strange is that if someone else dares to say this about the Imperial Lord, he is afraid that he would have rushed to repair that guy a long time ago, but when it was the turn of this little rabbit, why was his heart so calm? This shouldn't be! He couldn't figure it out.
"That's what I call in front of him!" Cang was very disapproving.
"Ugh!" Hearing Cang say this, Dongfang Lin was speechless again, although he didn't believe in his words, he didn't have a place to confirm it! After all, the Imperial Master has been dead for many years, alas! Forget it, he still doesn't have to worry about a little beast, it's a big deal to talk to Leng Ruoxue in private tomorrow, let her take care of her little beast!
Thinking like this, Dongfang Lin didn't refute Cang, lest this little beast be annoyed and angry.
The next morning, Dongfang Lin really found Leng Ruoxue for the first time, and then talked to her about it with a cautious face.
After Leng Ruoxue heard it, she was speechless for a long time, but the demon beside her said lightly: "Cang is right, Yu is a big fool!" On this point, he and Cang are in agreement.
Hearing this, Dongfang Lin is a little messy in the wind, and the royal lord didn't offend them! How can one or two be like this?
Seeing this, Leng Ruoxue smiled a little helplessly, she hadn't talked to Dongfang Lin about the true identity of the demon and Cang before, first, she had always been low-key and didn't like to talk about such things, and besides, she didn't want the people around Dongfang Lin to be loyal to her because of the identity of the demon and Cang, so she didn't want to expose her hole cards before getting their approval.
But now it seems that it should be properly revealed, otherwise, if one day the demon and Cang talk about their dissatisfaction with the master, Dongfang Lin and the others have a conflict with them because of this matter, it is also not what she wants to see.
Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue glanced at Dongfang Lin, and then said calmly: "Lin, Cang's identity is a little special, if this is said by someone else, I can't let it, but Cang has this qualification." β
Seeing Leng Ruoxue say this, even if Dongfang Lin had thousands of questions, it was not easy to ask them, after all, if Leng Ruoxue was willing to tell herself, she would say it even if she didn't ask! But now it seems that Leng Ruoxue obviously didn't intend to tell him. Therefore, he doesn't want to do much!
Immediately, Dongfang Lin took the initiative to change the topic and said: "By the way, Xue'er, those snakes outside seem to be gathering more and more, should we wait to make a move, or will we go out to deal with them now?" β
"Let's go after breakfast!" Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile.
"Okay." Dongfang Lin nodded, these days with Leng Ruoxue, he knew that Leng Ruoxue was very particular about food, and he had to eat three meals a day, so he also had a lot of light, and recently, he was a little happy to eat.
Therefore, for Leng Ruoxue's proposal, he was a hundred in favor.
After breakfast, Leng Ruoxue calmly pulled the demon to rest in the garden, their relaxed and indifferent appearance made Dongfang Lin's two subordinates anxious, but the two who had been warned by Dongfang did not dare to speak easily.
After a while, Leng Ruoxue stood up and said to the people present: "Let's go out and deal with those giant pythons!" After speaking, Leng Ruoxue took out a few more antidote pills and handed them out to everyone, and then pulled the demon and left the garden directly.
As soon as she opened the door of the house, Leng Ruoxue felt a fishy smell coming to her face, and the ground in front of her was full of black pythons squirming, and the roof and nearby trees were also full of giant pythons.
Not only that, but these pythons are also shrouded in a pale gray mist, which has dyed the sky that has long been eyed gloomy, and these fogs are the toxins released by the pythons.
Suddenly, a thick black tail struck Leng Ruoxue and the demon's face, Leng Ruoxue saw this, a wind blade went up, and directly cut the thick tail into two, half of the tail was still wriggling when it fell to the ground, and soon became a delicacy for the giant pythons, and the giant python whose tail was cut off was even more annoyed and angry, spitting the snake core, and pounced towards Leng Ruoxue...
Seeing this, Leng Ruoxue did not hesitate to show her natal flame, as soon as the small flame came out, the angry giant python actually instinctively retreated, but then, it couldn't help but rush towards Leng Ruoxue.
In the blink of an eye, the giant python that was the first bird was burned to ashes by Leng Ruoxue's natal flame, and then, Leng Ruoxue's white hand was gently raised, and the flames instantly jumped to the bodies of those giant pythons on the ground, and those giant pythons didn't even have time to scream, they were directly wiped out.
The two subordinates of Dongfang Lin who saw this scene all opened their mouths in disbelief, really, really amazing!
Then, they saw that the giant pythons coiled on the trees and roofs were also given the same treatment by Leng Ruoxue, and they disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly, the two looked at Leng Ruoxue with awe in their eyes.
And in the next trip, the two of them were also obedient to Leng Ruoxue, and they were even more attentive to her than Dongfang Lin, which could be regarded as an unexpected joy for Leng Ruoxue! Because she didn't expect that by eliminating those giant pythons who didn't know who was controlling them, she could actually accept the hearts of these two people by the way.
In fact, the reaction of Dongfang Lin's two subordinates was really normal, you must know that the divine realm is respected by the strong, and Leng Ruoxue's performance when dealing with the giant python deeply shocked the two of them, so they immediately changed their attitude and recognized Leng Ruoxue.
Before, they were unwilling to surrender to Leng Ruoxue, to a large extent, they didn't believe in Leng Ruoxue's strength, they felt that she was a woman, and the cultivation time was short, even if she was the apprentice of the Imperial Lord, they didn't believe that Leng Ruoxue was qualified to lead them to avenge the Imperial Lord, coupled with the dissatisfaction of those people around Dongfang Yue with Leng Ruoxue, it also affected them to some extent, and it was precisely because of this preconceived concept that they had created their contemptuous attitude towards Leng Ruoxue.
But now, the two of them are completely convinced of Leng Ruoxue, and they are worthy of being the apprentices of the royal lord! Sure enough!
And after this incident, Leng Ruoxue also understood a truth even more, that is, if you want to subdue them, you can only use violence! Any affinity, goodwill, etc., is useless in front of these people! They only believe in fists!
With such a cognition, Leng Ruoxue has a spectrum for what she wants to do next.
"Xue'er, there is Black Mist City ahead." Looking at the tall city wall close at hand, Dongfang Lin said with some excitement.
"This Black Mist City is far from the Demon Lands." Leng Ruoxue sighed, it has been more than a month since they left home, and they have finally arrived at their destination, it is really not easy!
"Miss, it's safe to stay away!" A subordinate hurriedly said.
"That's right, let's go into the city!" Leng Ruoxue said impatiently.
"Let's go!" Dongfang Lin nodded, and then walked straight into Black Mist City with Leng Ruoxue and the others.
Walking on the streets of Black Mist City, Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes looked at the buildings in the city, and couldn't help but secretly say, there are not many people in this Black Mist City! There is not even a guard guarding the city at the gate of the city, I wonder if there is a city lord here?
Seeing Leng Ruoxue's thoughts, Dongfang Lin smiled lightly and said: "This Black Mist City is still ownerless, do you want Xue'er to get a city lord to be in charge?" β
"Don't!" Leng Ruoxue refused, not only is it cold here, but the location is remote, and normal people will not classify this place as their territory, but it is very safe here, and it is no wonder that Dongfang Lin and his people have been hiding here for many years without being discovered.
"Alas! It's a shame. Dongfang Lin pretended to be disappointed, but Leng Ruoxue ignored him, but instead admired the ice sculptures placed in the city with great interest, seeing this, he was a little helpless.
His presence is too low! Cher actually ignored him.
Dongfang Lin led the way depressedly, and after a while, Leng Ruoxue and the others followed him to a small courtyard.
Then, Leng Ruoxue saw the dungeon in Dongfang Lin's mouth.
"Well, it's nice here!" Seeing that Leng Ruoxue finally showed a surprised expression, Dongfang Lin said proudly.
Glancing at the proud Dongfang Lin, Leng Ruoxue said lightly: "It's okay." β
With that, she walked straight in.
Hearing these three words, Dongfang Lin was even more depressed, but his two heartless and lungless people were subdued by Leng Ruoxue and became Leng Ruoxue's loyal dogs, but they secretly snickered in their hearts, it seems that the master has nothing to do with Miss!
At this moment, Dongfang Lin and the others, who had not yet entered the underground castle, suddenly heard an exclamation.
"Why are you here?"
