53. Sky Blue Scales

"Okay, stop messing around and get down to business."

Owei Li waved his hand, retracted his demeanor, and turned into a graceful and luxurious appearance again.

Yu Xian looked at it dumbfounded, and the corners of his mouth were still faintly painful.

Am I messing around? Please, I don't know which shameless one has tied my beard into a bow now, how braindead do I have to be to mess around like this?

Yu Xian dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law who was bullied by a big woman in a wealthy compound.

"Yes, whatever my sister says, it's what it is."

"Well, don't force it. You know, our Yihong Courtyard has always been democratic, if there is anything unhappy in your heart, just say it, I am so open-minded and will definitely help you solve your problems. Don't hold it in your heart, in case you get sick, it's you who suffers. ”

"Not reluctantly! Not at all reluctantly! In my heart, Yihongyuan is good, my sister is good, and I am good. ”

Yu Xian swore that he showed his heart and did not dare to slack off.

O's standing held back the smile in his heart, and he felt more and more that it was very interesting to bully Yu Xian in front of him, his eyes swept over Xian and looked at the room on the side, and a touch of heaviness gradually appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore. The first thing I have already said, Yihongyuan is now financially tight, and the savings over the years have been spent, and if there is no business to come, I am afraid it will not be open for long. ”

"Since you have already agreed to this matter, then I will leave it all to you, I hope you will not let me down."

Yu Xian nodded, he couldn't guess O'O's thoughts, and now he didn't dare to say something big at will, but asked O-ori about another thing.

"Sister, what about the other thing you said?"

Oori didn't answer immediately, and he didn't know where to pull out a key-shaped thing. The green appearance looks like a leaf cut from a tree, but it's not the same. In Yu Xian's opinion, the grass-based aura contained in it is not at all like that ordinary trees can have.

"Sister, what is this?"

"Don't ask, take it and go to that room in the southwest corner of the store. Open the room, there's a corridor, and if you can get to the end, bring me the innermost box, and I'll go on to tell you what the second thing is. ”

Yu Xian took the key-shaped leaf, and felt more and more that it contained a strong breath of life.

"That's... So I went? ”

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here."

O'Ori showed a rare smile, Yu Xian was a little sullen in his heart, and he always felt that there was too much emotion in that smile. There is expectation, fear, encouragement, and relief.

The room in the southwest corner is not difficult to find, and Yu Xian once accurately pointed out that there is something that attracts it in this direction. It's just that so many days have passed and it has never been to this place either.

In its view, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you can't force it. If it belongs to you, you don't have to deliberately pursue it, as long as you catch it at a critical time.

And now, the moment the little leaves are in hand, Yu Xian knows that this critical moment has come.

As Yu Xian expected, the small leaves were indeed the key to opening the door. It's just that what it didn't expect was that there was no gorgeous dress behind the door, but it was unbelievably simple.

The walls on both sides were already covered with traces of time, with slender cuts and violent impacts. Yu Xian walked all the way over and couldn't help but touch the mottling on the wall. The faint blockage from the fins made Yu Xian feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Inside this corridor, there seems to be too much torment and resentment. And the barriers built on both sides are like a layer of prohibition that wraps the negative emotions inside, forming the current appearance.

Hell inside the walls, human beings outside the walls.

Every step Yu Xian takes, his steps are heavy. As a water-based elf, it didn't even notice when the cold sweat that wet its whole body appeared.

"Woo~"

A sudden cry made Yu Xian tense his nerves and leaned against the wall, alerting him to his surroundings. But the surroundings were still empty, and there was not half a figure. Yu Xian was puzzled, unable to tell whether the voice was an illusion or reality.

Yu Xian looked at the road and couldn't see the end, so he had to move forward patiently. After turning another corner, Yu Xian finally frowned.

In front of me was a fork in the road, and the three intersections did not know where they led, and the end was pitch black.

How is this possible? It's just a corridor, why does it give me the feeling that it has long been out of the scope of Yihong Courtyard?

Just as he was hesitating and not knowing which side to choose, he suddenly broke his foot and almost fell.

Well? What is it?

Yu Xian picked up the culprit who hurt his foot, put it in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

"It's... Stone? ”

The pale yellow ball is small, and although it is no longer possible to identify what kind of fruit it is, you can vaguely smell a faint fruity aroma.

"No, after so many years, how can there still be such a strong fruity aroma."

Yu Xian muttered to himself, but fortunately closed his eyes and captured the fruity aroma in the air with his sense of smell.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The cells that had been silent were suddenly awakened, and Yu Xian's power was uncontrollably induced by the fruity aroma, and the attraction that had disappeared since entering the corridor also reappeared.

That's it! Junction on the right!

Yu Xian's face was happy, and he walked towards the intersection on the right without hesitation. The further inside, the more fruity it becomes. Soon, the exit that he couldn't wait for for a long time appeared in front of Yu Xian's eyes.

Sunlight? Sure enough, has it left the scope of Yihong Courtyard?

Yu Xian looked at the sky in the distance, and he could barely capture the iconic red flowers of Yihong Courtyard.

There was a round clearing in front of me, and the sudden appearance in the dense jungle always gave people a feeling of being out of place. In the middle of the clearing is a fruit tree, and under the tree is a small pile of rocks.

When he got closer, Yu Xian found that the fruit tree was a banana tree with a bunch of green fruits on it. There are obvious scratches on the stone pile, as if someone has been snuggling here for a long time.

The ghost sent the gods to the ground, and there was a force in the dark that guided Yu Xian to pick a banana from the tree, snuggle up on the stone pile and eat it.

The banana is unripe, and there is no sweetness at all, only a touch of bitterness. The more you eat, the more astringent it becomes, and the more you eat it, the more bitter it becomes.

Yu Xian closed his eyes, and the cold touch from the stone pile inexplicably gave it a sense of relief, and the cry it had heard in the passage seemed to reappear in its ears.

"Woo~"

Yu Xian didn't open his eyes, and tears slid down his eyes. Since entering the corridor, all the emotions that have been accumulated so far have finally turned into a lonely sigh and exploded in the bottom of my heart.

"Ugh."

Tears fell, the fruit was eaten, and Yu Xian reopened his eyes.

Yu Xian got up slowly, and as soon as he left, the small stone pile turned into powder. The breeze came just in time to blow the powder away, revealing a patch of sky-blue dragon scales inside.

"Buzz!"

Before Yu Xian could move, the aqua-blue tyrannosaurus scales around his neck had already taken the lead in beating uneasily.

It's a rejection, but it's also a longing.

Yu Xian glanced in the direction of Yihong Courtyard complicatedly, and all his dissatisfaction with Owei Li disappeared.

Manager, is this what you're going to give me?
