Chapter 40: A Fiery Heart

Luoyin Water House.

Changfeng Linghu, as far as the eye can see, is only ethereal smoke waves, across nine thousand miles, connecting the four seas.

As the head of the Luoyin Water Mansion, one of the five people in the world who have mastered the Nine Heavens Jade, the wife of the Dragon Clan's lord Emperor Xiang, Nian Yanshan, lives in the water palace at the bottom of the lake all the year round.

Nian Tianjiao has lived with her mother since she was a child, but compared to the family affection brought to her by the emperor, her mother is more like a strict teacher.

The skirt is flying, and the shadow is fragrant.

The long black hair is scattered to the ground, and the jade hairpin is slanted, seemingly casual and lazy, but it has the meaning of dust. The goose-yellow ribbon is lightly tied around the waist, the jade pendant is connected, and the woman's super-upholstered posture is like the goddess in the mural, which can be understood but indescribable.

Nian Shan was in the water palace, with one hand behind him, looking at the scene of coral clam beads in front of him, I don't know what he was thinking?

Nian Tianjiao stood behind her, a little cramped, like a child who had made a mistake.

"In the land of the Northern Desolate Poor Hills, there have been rumors of Miaoli leaving the frozen land of the Demon Lord recently. I heard you want to go too? ”

"Yes."

Nian Tianjiao said two words, and then stopped speaking.

"You are at the critical moment of the Realm Breaking Ceres, and it is not appropriate to go in person. There may be some secrets in the frozen land of the Demon Lord, but it is useless for you at this moment. ”

Nian Yanshan's words were very soft, but they revealed an undoubted force.

In the past, Nian Tianjiao had long been accustomed to obeying her mother's words, but now, there was a trace of unwillingness in her heart.

I'm not here for the secrets, I'm here for the .......

Thinking of this, Nian Tianjiao's face was a little red.

I don't know what happened to Zhang Daoyuan, this bastard?

But these words, she could never have said to her mother.

"These days, you don't have to go to the Daluo Holy Land. It's the same with retreat here. You're ready to prepare! ”

When Nian Tianjiao was about to leave, Nian Yanshan inadvertently mentioned it.

"By the way, there's one thing I want to tell you. The next time I see Zhang Daoyuan, kill him. ”

Nian Tianjiao's whole body stiffened, and she turned around with difficulty.

"Why?"

For the first time in her life, Nian Tianjiao asked her mother for an answer.

"Because he is Zhang Changsheng's disciple."

"What is the reason!"

Nian Yanshan seemed a little surprised, turned around, and looked at her excited-looking daughter.

"Why?"

"Back then, the Xuanhuang Killing War, Luoyin Water Mansion did not participate at all. We also have no grudges against Zhang Daoyuan. Why did he have to die because he was a disciple of Zhang Changsheng? ”

Nian Tianjiao asked rhetorically, looking at her mother, she reacted greatly.

"Our little petite, who you off?"

A timely sentence brought this mother-daughter duel to an abrupt end.

The arrival of the emperor eased the situation.

"Go down!"

Nian Yanshan waved her sleeves, not wanting to say any more.

Nian Tianjiao didn't want to stop there, but a look from the emperor made her calm down.

"The frozen land of the Demon Lord is here, and those old guys in the dragon clan are afraid that they can't sit still. Do you still have the heart to come to me like this? ”

Although he is his husband, Nian Shan is very cold when he speaks.

"I have ordered that the dragons are not to be involved in this matter."

"The Eastern Demon Sect, the Ice Demon Palace, and the Heron Gate are all involved, and the situation in the Northern Wilderness is too chaotic. The identity of the Demon Lord is sensitive, and if our dragon clan participates, it will do more harm than good. ”

"Great dragons, do you really think that your words alone will be able to stop the ambitions of those old fellows?"

The emperor is the lord of the dragon clan, but he can't really control all the power of the entire dragon clan.

The emperor smiled, but didn't care.

"Maybe it's better to let those guys taste the hardships in the Northern Wilderness. Xiao You, Zhai Rang, Qu Li, which one is the role of Yi He? Wash the Yuhu Royal Eight Family, which one is easy to mess with? ”

"It has been 10,000 years since the Dragon and Phoenix War, and it is not easy for my dragon clan to rise again when it is in decline. It's a bit whimsical that these guys want to redo their old dreams. ”

Nian Yan Shan smiled.

"As a man, you're a bit self-aware."

"But you don't like a man who is self-aware."

The emperor's rhetorical question made Nian Yanshan, who was originally smiling, cold again.

"What do you want to say?"

"You want to find a father for Jiao'er, I can help you. If you want to use me to stimulate him, I can help you too. Even if you and I have always been a husband and wife in name only, I don't care. ”

The emperor looked at Nian Yanshan and fell in love.

"It's just that now I want to ask, Zhang Changsheng is dead, can your eyes look at me a little?"

Nian Yanshan didn't answer, even if it was just a very humble request.

"I said back then that you and I were just a deal. I, Luoyin Water Mansion, protect your dragon clan, and your dragon clan drives for me. ”

"There is no friendship between you and me!"

The cold words, the emperor doesn't know how many times he has heard them.

But no matter how ruthless he was, he couldn't extinguish the emperor's fiery heart.

Seeing that Nian Shan was about to leave, the emperor spoke up.

"I have one more question."

"You've got a lot of questions today."

"At the beginning, Xiao Yuxuan and Wentian Pavilion led the attack on the Black Dragon Mountain Mansion, why did you want to remain neutral? Is it because of Zhang Changsheng? ”

"After the Xuanhuang Killing War, this world has reached a world of great controversy. The tenuous equilibrium that has been maintained in this realm for 8,000 years has been shattered. Even the alliance of the thirty-three factions can no longer suppress a group of careerists. I, Luoyin Water Mansion, remain neutral, naturally in order to maintain more power so that I can occupy a place in the future. ”

"But what if they had won? Wouldn't you be in a rather passive position? ”

The victory or defeat on the battlefield is not only related to both sides of the war, but also inseparable from the onlookers. Only a lose-lose situation for both sides will the onlookers have the greatest advantage. Otherwise, it will be the object of the winner's liquidation.

Before the Xuanhuang Killing War, no one thought that Zhang Changsheng would win. What's more is how Zhang Changsheng will lose.

"Win?"

With a hint of a light voice, Nian Yan Shan seemed a little surprised, why did the emperor ask such a strange question.

"With them, can they win against Zhang Changsheng?"

Looking at the other party's distant figure, it is also a wonderful posture that haunts the emperor's soul, but at this moment he has inexplicable pain in his heart.

Millions of monks, many powers, in Nian Yanshan's heart, it can't match a long sword in Zhang Changsheng's hand.

"A sword is in the sky, and the world is invincible."

The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly, it turned out that this sentence was not only circulated in the mouths of the monks in the world, but also engraved in Nian Yanshan's heart.

And today's emperor finally understands that maybe he can't take that person's place in Nian Yanshan's heart.

Never!
