Chapter 42: Heroes Save Beauty
"You can't care! Hum! Hua Ling and Yu Linglong left angrily.
On the way back to the Demon Palace, Hua Ling's words kept echoing in his mind: "Whether he really loves you or not, you know best!" "Yes, she never felt how much Jiuyu loved him, when she was poisoned before, Jiuyu took care of him meticulously, which made her have an illusion, if she hadn't heard the conversation between Jiuyu and Kill Meiluo, maybe she would have believed that Jiuyu loved herself, but now when outsiders say a word, she has to start to doubt, she doesn't like this feeling.
"You're back so soon?" Hua Ling walked into the Demon Hall a little dejected, and Jiuyu asked her in surprise.
"Hmm." Hua Ling didn't look at Jiuyu, but responded weakly, and planned to rest.
"Your Highness, will the demon concubine be affected by Yu Linglong? It seems that the loss of this jade Bai Ze has a lot to do with the jade girl!" In fact, Jiuyu had already let Kill Meiluo follow Hua Ling, and Jiuyu already knew about their conversation.
"Hmph, it's not related to her but related to Xiangtian, in this way, things are very clear, and the demon concubine has long known the truth, she didn't leave, it's not that she didn't believe their words, I think it's because she fell in love with me." The corners of Jiuyu's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug and evil smile.
"Then the demon concubine must be very painful in her heart now, what do you plan to do next, Your Highness?" Killing Meiluo felt very sorry for Hua Ling, but he didn't dare to persuade Jiuyu again.
"Just wait and see what happens, and act as if you don't know anything."
"But—" Kill Meiluo stopped talking.
"Don't be anything, I know it in my heart, you go back first." After Jiuyu finished speaking, he went to find Hua Ling.
"Lady, you're not asleep yet, are you? What's going on today? After going out for a walk, why are you not happy when you come back? Isn't it uncomfortable? Jiuyu asked Hua Ling, who was already lying down and pretending to be asleep, with great concern.
"Oh, no, I'm a little tired today, I'm not unhappy! You can sleep too. Hua Ling replied with his back to Jiuyu.
"Well, if you have any unhappiness in the future, you must tell me, I am your dearest and most trustworthy person, you know? Don't hold it alone if you have something. Jiuyu lay down and hugged Hua Ling from behind, and said in the gentlest tone.
"yes, got it." Hua Ling replied softly, but at the moment her heart was very entangled, she liked Jiuyu's gentleness more and more, but she kept doubting these gentleness. She felt like her mind was in turmoil.
Since the last time Mu Qianling confessed to Ah Yao, Ah Yao was not very willing to approach him, but Ah Yao wanted to get close to Feng Chen through him, so Ah Yao went to Mu Qianling again on this day.
"Cousin, I want to ask you for a favor..."Ah Yao said to Mu Qianling a little unkindly.
"Do you want to enter the palace to meet the Demon King again?"
"No, I want to ask you to help bring him something..."Ah Yao took out a box and handed it to Mu Qianling.
"What's that?"
"It's a pastry I made myself, I want you to give it to Feng Chen to taste." Ah Yao lowered her head a little shyly.
"Cousin, you haven't done it for me, hey, my cousin is really sad!"
"Cousin, next time you go to my house, I'll do it for you!"
"Okay!" Mu Qianling took something and went to find Feng Chen.
"What? Was it the pastry that Yao made for me? Feng Chen opened it and looked at it, and it was very exquisite.
"Yes, King, I confessed to her last time, but I was rejected, it seems that I am hopeless, she still wants to pursue you!" Mu Qianling shook his head.
"Don't be discouraged so quickly! Didn't she give up on me either? I never said yes to her. ”
"You don't like her, why don't you just reject her? Give her hope that it will make her sink deeper and deeper! ”
"I didn't have a chance to refuse her, she confessed to me once, and ran away after speaking, and then she didn't mention it, and I can only show my heart by pretending to be stupid!"
"But now that she's giving you a gift, how are you going to respond?" Mu Qian asked.
"Just say thank you to her for me, it's not rude, but also distant, do you think it's feasible?" Feng Chen asked Mu Qianling.
"However, if you thank her, will she think that you did not refuse her and continue to give you gifts next time?"
"You've got to take the initiative to pursue her! You can't just give up if she rejects you once, right? Show your manhood! ”
"But she doesn't like me, I'm pestering her, what if she refuses to deal with me in the future?"
"Then I'll help you create opportunities! Woman, let her be touched a few times, and her heart will be biased towards you! ”
"How can the king help me create opportunities?"
"Then let's have a hero to save the beauty first! It's cheesy, but it's the most effective! In this way, I will arrange for you to do one thing tomorrow, you take her with you, and then..."Feng Chen told Mu Qianling about his plan.
Mu Qianling's brows furrowed when he heard this, but in the end he nodded and agreed.
"A-Yao, the Demon King asked me to thank you."
Did he just say thank you? So is he happy to receive my pastries? Ah Yao asked anxiously.
"That, after he accepted it, he only asked me to convey thank you, and then arranged things for me, I may need Sister Ayao to help me this time."
"What's the matter?" Ah Yao asked curiously.
"The Demon King asked me to pick wood fruits..."
"What? Feng Chen asked you to pick wood nuts? Doesn't he know that the fruit can only be picked by men and women at the same time? If one picks me, the fruit will disappear! Why didn't he send a guard and a maid to pick it? ”
"You also know that the wood fruit is the most spiritual plant in the demon world, you can't cast any spells when you pick it, you can't bring any weapons, and they all grow on the cliffs, it's difficult to pick without a certain tacit understanding!" Mu Qianling said with a frown.
"The wood fruit is also known as the soul lock fruit, if our demon is seriously injured, it is easy for the soul to leave the body, once it leaves the body, it is difficult to treat, this fruit is the life-saving fruit taken in that situation, what does the demon king let you pick this?" Ah Yao was a little puzzled.
"What the king asks me to do, I have to do as he is told, how dare I ask more! A-Yao, you must help me! ”
"Alright, let's go now!"
The two of them threw away all their weapons and came to the Wood Cliff, where the fruit grows.
"Cousin, after one of the wood nuts is picked, the rest will all disappear and will grow after a year, we have to be careful, don't lose it." Ah Yao and Mu Qianling said.
"That is, if you lose it, it will be troublesome, let's act quickly, you have to be careful, in case of any danger, remember to protect yourself first, it doesn't matter if the fruit can't be picked."
"Cousin, since it is something that Feng Chen specially explained to you, it must be very important, and we must succeed!"
After speaking, Ah Yao and Mu Qianling carefully walked to the edge of the cliff to find a fruit, and slowly climbed in the direction of the tree, after all, they couldn't use spells, so the two of them didn't sweat for long, and the stones on the edge of the cliff kept falling, and finally, they came to the edge of the tree, but Ah Yao's hand couldn't reach the fruit, just a little bit, so she desperately leaned forward, and the soles of her feet slipped and fell, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Mu Qianyi grabbed her hand and dragged her up.
"A-Yao, are you okay! Scared the hell out of me! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't want to cast spells! Cast a spell before the fruit is harvested, and the fruit will disappear, so let's try it again. So A-Yao began to try to climb to the edge of the fruit tree again.
This time the fruit was finally picked, and both of them were very happy, and Ah Yao held the fruit and smiled like a flower.
Just as the two were about to go back, several masked men came.
"Hand over the Wood Fruit!"
The masked man said very unceremoniously to Ah Yao and Mu Qianling.
"Who are you? This fruit is something that the demon king wants, do you want to betray the demon king? Mu Qian asked.
"Humph! The fruit can only be picked once a year, you picked it, we have to wait for 1 year, we have an emergency, you hand it over quickly, we don't care who wants it, anyway, after we grab the fruit today, we will kill you. ”
"Humph! You are dreaming! If you want to make a Muguo, you have to see if you can beat me Mu Qianling! After Mu Qianling finished speaking, he went up and fought with the masked man, and just as they were fighting, a few masked people came out of nowhere and ran directly towards A-Yao.
Ah Yao casually put the fruit in her mouth and immediately began to fight back, but there were too many masked people, Ah Yao was not their opponent at all, Ah Yao was quickly knocked to the ground, and a masked man stabbed her with a knife, Mu Qianling saw it, and quickly flew over to block the masked man's bayonet, the bayonet stabbed Mu Qianling, he used all his strength to wave his hand, and all the masked people were bounced out, and Ah Yao accidentally swallowed the muggling fruit due to nervousness.
The masked men looked at each other and retreated.
"Cousin! Are you okay? Why are you so stupid! Ah Yao cried urgently.
"It's okay, A-Yao, don't cry, my cousin can't die, you can help me go back!"
A-Yao quickly took him back to her house and cleaned his wounds.
"Cousin, I swallowed the wood fruit, how can I explain this to the demon king? Why don't you take me to him tomorrow, and I'll explain the situation to him! Ah Yao said to Mu Qianling worriedly.
"It's okay, A-Yao, I'll go and tell him myself, I don't blame you for this, it's my cousin who has caused you, fortunately you are not injured, otherwise I would be distressed!" Mu Qianling said to Ah Yao with a smile.
"Cousin, my brain was blank when you blocked the knife today, you are my only relative, I am really afraid of losing you!" Ah Yao's face was distressed.
"A-Yao, my cousin will always be by your side to protect you!" Mu Qianling said affectionately.
"Ah, cousin, I don't need your protection, I just hope you will find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible!" Ah Yao said with a smile, but Mu Qianling's heart was very cold after hearing it.
"But I only have you in my heart! I can leave everything behind for you! What rights, positions, benevolence, morality, and even life, I don't want it, I just want to be with you! General Mu thought to himself, but Ah Yao didn't seem to have any affection for him at all.
