1. Charming Fox
Ximen Longjin, this name represents strength in the Nine Shadows Continent and represents incomparability.
Because of this name, the already declining surname "Ximen" once again became the first surname in the Nine Shadows Continent, and the name "Ximen Longjin" also resounded throughout the Nine Shadows Continent and became the god of war that everyone knows.
“...... When it was, the world was silent, only to see Lord Longjin stepping on the water to ask the Qing Beast to come, the double dragon wrapped around the moon spear in his hand waved, swept through the thousands of troops in an instant, no one could stop it, the enemy general two trembled, turned over and rolled off the horse, and landed without a fight!
"Good!
"Good!"
The cheers and applause suddenly rang out. In this world where the strong are respected, such jokes are most popular in restaurant theaters, and in recent decades, the most talked about such jokes is the young and famous and invincible Ximen Longjin.
"Mr. Mo, let's do it again!"
"Let's talk about the battle between Lord Long Jin and the three evil Jiaos of the Wufu Sea!" Someone at the bottom proposed loudly.
"Okay!" Mr. Storyteller took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and the waking wood in his hand slapped it again, "It is said that in the Wufu Sea in the east of the Nine Secluded Continent, there are three evil Jiao, and those three evil Jiao are powerful and have the ability to call for wind and rain, and they have done many evils in the Wufu Sea, and the people around them have suffered greatly......
The guests in the lobby of the entire restaurant were brought into the atmosphere of the story created by the storyteller, and only a man in brocade clothes on the window side of the street was drinking leisurely.
The boy looked to be only in his twenties, very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, eyes like stars, and a lotus-colored brocade robe loosely draped on his body, revealing a delicate and delicate collarbone, looking indistinguishable from male and female, and he was uninhibited.
Only the fair-skinned smooth neck and the slight undulation of the chest indicate that this is a woman.
She smiled and glanced at the storyteller on the stage, and picked up the wine glass and handed it to her lips, only to find that the wine glass was empty at some point. I poured another glass of wine casually, and just put it down after taking a sip, I saw a black light flashing in my hand, and the wine glass bottomed out again.
She bent her lips, raised her left hand, and shook the black jade bracelet on her wrist, the bracelet seemed to be stunned by her, and fell on the table with a "click", but it turned out that the black jade bracelet was actually a small snake with a pitch-black body, and strangely, the little snake also had three heads.
"Ximen Longjin!" the three-headed little snake was furious, and raised its three little heads in the shape of a poop to stare at her, and roared softly, "Don't you just drink a sip of wine!"
She laughed, and reached out to flick its three heads one by one: "Call the master." ”
"Lord...... The owner ......" The three-headed little snake that was dizzy by the bullet shook and begged for mercy spinelessly.
She smiled and touched its three little heads, and said, "Ah San." ”
"Don't call me Ah San!" the three-headed snake was angry again.
This name is too shameful! It obviously has a very majestic name called Qin Tian!
"You can't be so cruel to your master. She curled her fingers with a smile and gestured to flick its head again.
The three-headed little snake immediately softened, and hung its head in a pitiful manner.
Ximen Longjin smiled and stretched out his hand, watching it skillfully climb up her wrist, obediently circle in a circle and bite the tail, end to end, and turn into a black jade bracelet again.
“...... The three evil Jiao saw Lord Longjin coming to fight, but they didn't put it in their eyes at all, arrogant, it opened its mouth to spit out the wind, the wind carried the methane, the heaven and the earth instantly darkened, and wherever the methane went, none of the creatures were spared...... "On the storytelling platform, the storyteller is still talking.
The three-headed little snake that was connected from end to end and transformed into a black jade bracelet wept silently, it was also majestic, and it also dominated the party...... If it weren't for the fact that I had met this horrible woman......
This damn woman is simply the nemesis of its life!
Drinking wine in this room, Mr. Storyteller's joke is also coming to an end, naturally Lord Longjin won a complete victory, and the three evil Jiao were beaten to tears and took the initiative to surrender, and recognized Lord Longjin as the master.
At this time, a young man in white walked in at the door of the restaurant, which immediately attracted the attention of all the guests in the lobby, especially the female guests. The young man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was extremely beautiful, especially the bright cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, which added a very beautiful look to his already almost perfect appearance.
The Nine Shadows Continent is a world where people and demons live together and the strong are respected, and that kind of appearance and temperament doesn't look like what humans can have.
"That's from the Fox Clan. Someone whispered.
"Well, look at the cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, which is one of the characteristics of the Charm Fox clan. A beautiful woman answered with a smile, but her voice did not lower.
"Such a beautiful little guy has no private mark on his body, he is ownerless, how can he appear in Linyuan City......" someone said, with a greedy look in his eyes.
The young man in white didn't seem to feel the unkind and greedy gaze at all, but just glanced around the lobby, and finally his gaze fell on the position by the window facing the street, and his calm eyes were slightly rippling.
He was about to step forward, but was stopped in his way.
"Whose fugitive slave are you?" The one who stood in the way was a middle-aged man who was not amazing, but his body was extremely burly, two heads taller than the young man in white, and he stared at the young man tightly, with imperative and greed in his eyes.
The charm fox is one of the branches of the fox clan, and it can be transformed by nature, and it is stunning after transformation. Because of its charm, they are named Charm Fox, but their beautiful appearance has become the source of their nightmares. In the Nine Shadows Continent, the value of the charm fox is extremely high, it is said that a living charm fox can be sold for a high price of 100,000 gold, even if there is no way to capture it alive, the demon pill of the charm fox can also be sold for about 60,000 gold, because taking the demon pill of the charm fox can make people look old and have a strange fragrance, which is much easier to use than the ordinary Zhuyan Pill.
Due to the above reasons, the fox clan is almost endangered, and there are very few living fox foxes, and they are generally the private pets of big people.
Under such circumstances, there was actually a ghost fox that had not been marked as a private mark in the largest restaurant in Linyuan City, which was simply a pie falling from the sky!
"I said Wang Peng, you are not moral, this phantom fox appeared in the Wufang Restaurant, naturally it is a share of the seekers, are you planning to swallow it alone?" A mocking voice came from the right side of the lobby, and it was a lean young man who spoke.
"Well, I'll pay 100,000 yuan to buy him, and divide the money equally among everyone present, how about it?" The beautiful woman who spoke earlier stared at the young man standing at the door, and proposed with a smile.
"This charm fox has an excellent appearance, and it can't be said to be three points better than that Heavenly Peerless Son of the City Lord's Mansion, and the price of 100,000 gold is really humiliating. The lean man sneered.
"One hundred and thirty thousand. The beautiful woman glanced at him with autumn water in her eyes, and she was charming.
With just one glance, he saw that the man's body was half crisp, and he didn't open his mouth to obstruct it.
The beautiful woman smiled proudly, and was about to speak, when she heard a delicate and timid voice sound, and shouted: "One hundred and sixty thousand." ”
The one who opened her mouth to shout was actually a beautiful girl, she looked at the young man standing at the door, with pity and obsession in her eyes that could not be misunderstood.
"Two hundred thousand. Seeing that someone was bidding with her, the beautiful woman's smile did not decrease, but her eyes were cold.
"Three hundred thousand. The delicate and timid girl added 100,000 without blinking.
"Four hundred thousand. The beautiful woman snorted coldly.
"Six hundred thousand. The maiden glanced at the woman, and easily added another two hundred thousand.
"You little girl, are you determined to get along with me?" said the beautiful woman angrily.
"Who doesn't know that Aunt Nangong practices the practice of collecting yang and replenishing yin, and I am afraid that this son will die in a few days if he falls into your hands. My young lady is kind, she can't see it before she makes a move, and the one with the highest price gets it, so what's there to complain about. The pink-clothed maid standing behind the girl said with a smile.
Although she is a maidservant, her appearance and clothing are outstanding, and she is like a young lady from a big family.
Everyone in this hall was in full swing, but the young man in white who was stopped at the door didn't react at all, just stood quietly in place, as if he was not the one who was insulted by everyone's bidding.
Listening to the words of the pink-clothed maid, the beautiful woman frowned, and then released a murderous aura: "A mere maid dares to talk to me like this?"
The pink-clothed maid choked, her eyes widened and she was about to sneer at each other, but at this time, the girl sitting in front of her suddenly raised her hand slightly, and scolded: "Qingjing, don't be unreasonable." ”
"Yes. The servant seemed to be extremely jealous of her, and hurriedly answered, and hung her head and said no more.
"My maid is ignorant and offended Madame. The girl stood up a little shyly and bowed slightly, "Under Murong Shuang, I like this son very much, and I ask you to fulfill it." ”
Hearing the name "Murong Shuang", everyone present changed color, and even the Nangong aunt was stunned, and then turned around angrily and stopped fighting. Who in Linyuan City doesn't know that the city lord Murong Yun is violent and cruel by nature, but he only loves his only daughter Murong Shuang and is obedient, but it is rumored that Murong Shuang is delicate and frail, and he has brought a strange disease since he was born in his mother's womb, and he has never stepped out of the city lord's mansion half a step, why did he appear in this Wufang restaurant so coincidentally today?
When the girl reported the name "Murong Shuang", some people also showed a playful expression, I heard that the most popular Tianjue son in the City Lord's Mansion was from the Charm Fox clan, and now this eldest lady actually fell in love with a Charm Fox......
Is this also a tiger father without a dog?
......Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, the girl looked at the young man who had been standing at the door silently, her eyes full of pity.
But the pity soon turned into consternation.
The middle-aged man who had just blocked the road suddenly fell on his back silently, and everyone present was shocked when they saw his appearance clearly. I saw that his eyes were round and his face was distorted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and he was actually scared to death.
Completely ignoring the corpse lying on the ground and the crowd staring at him, the young man stepped over the corpse and walked to the window by the street.
"Master. He called out to the woman who was sitting and drinking, and looked respectful.
The woman tilted her head slightly and glanced at him lazily: "Wenge, where have you been? Why are you here now?"
"I'm going to buy you peach crisps. The young man who was called Wenge smiled slightly, and reached out to show the woman the cardboard box in his hand.
That smile was full of color.
Murong Shuang looked at the smiling young man holding the cardboard box in a daze, only to feel that he was trapped in that shallow smile, and he didn't even breathe lightly.
"Ah, peach cake!" the woman's eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab it.
"Let's eat it when we go home. Wen Ge sideways away from her hand, "If you go back late, the head of the family will be unhappy again." ”
"Ah......" The woman sighed a little depressedly, reluctantly got up, put down the money for the drink, and was about to go to the door.
"This sister, please stay. Murong Shuang hurriedly called out to stop her.
The woman blinked, turned to look at Murong Shuang, "Call me?"
"Yes. Murong Shuang showed a coquettish and timid smile, "I like this son very much, and I am willing to give one million gold, I don't know if my sister can cut her love." ”
The woman glanced at her with a smile, and then looked back at Wenge: "Wenge, do you like this girl?"
Murong Shuang looked at Wen Ge expectantly.
Wen Ge hugged the carton containing peach cakes, and didn't look at her, only lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I don't like it." ”
"Your name is Wenge?" Murong Shuang pulled his sleeve a little eagerly, and when she called out that name, she unconsciously lowered her voice, "I really like you, if you are willing to follow me, I will treat you sincerely and never insult you......"
Wen Ge frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to look at her.
Murong Shuang met his eyes, and froze in place for a moment, only to feel that those sparkling eyes were cold, and countless murderous machines pierced her internal organs from those eyes, and the beautiful young man in front of her was as chilling as a ghost who climbed up from the Netherworld, but she couldn't even raise the strength to resist.
On the side, the woman patted the song lightly.
Wen Ge silently lowered his eyes.
Murong Shuang came back to her senses at this time, feeling that her vest was already wet, she glanced at the woman standing next to Wen Ge with a complicated expression, if it weren't for her, her fate would probably be the same as the corpse lying at the door. was stunned, her hand suddenly lightened, she subconsciously lowered her head, and saw that she was lightly grasping a sleeve of the young man in white.
He actually cut off the sleeve of his coat because he didn't like her touch...... Is it disgusting to be so much......
Murong Shuang looked at the small sleeve in his hand blankly, stunned.
"Since Wenge doesn't like you, then please apologize. The woman looked at her with a smile and said.
Murong Shuang was stunned for a moment and apologized?
"You woman is so arrogant!A mere charm fox, can you stand my young lady's apology!And my young lady has done something wrong, what do you need to apologize?!" The pink-clothed maid behind Murong Shuang was angry and protected the lord.
"Wenge is my apprentice. The smile on the woman's face gradually faded, and there was a hint of coldness, "Just because you dare to auction my apprentice in public." ”
Follower...... In vain?
Everyone present was stunned, on this Nine Shadows Continent, there are still people who would take the Charm Fox as a disciple? Although the Charm Fox was born with the ability to transform into shape, it was difficult to cultivate because it was overhunted and killed, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and the current Charm Fox has basically lost the ability to cultivate.
But...... It is not for nothing that there are people who accept the charm fox as an apprentice, and it is said that on this Nine Shadows Continent, there is a famous person who accepts a charm fox as an apprentice......
The eyes of everyone present suddenly fell on the woman, and there was a look of disbelief in their eyes, could this woman be the one?!
"Since it has just been decided that the audience has a share, then the apology should also be shared by the audience. The woman grinned, turned around and glanced around the lobby, "In order to show the sincerity of the apology, 100,000 gold per person, please send it to Ximen Mansion before sunset today, and you will bear the consequences if you overdue." ”
The crowd was petrified.
Simon ......
Sure enough, it was her......
"Master, you've drunk too much again. The young man in white held her up, looking helpless.
"Hmm?" said the woman, stroking her forehead and frowning, "I said why is my head a little heavy." ”
With her movements, the wide neckline slipped slightly, revealing a large area of fair skin, the young man sighed, reached out and gently pulled her clothes for her, and carefully tidied them up: "Master, it's time to go home." ”
"Uh-huh. The woman answered, leaning limply on the young man's body, as lazy as if she had no bones.
The young man in white helped the woman, turned his head and looked at everyone with a smile: "This master is not very good-tempered, please include more, but her memory is very good, and please don't forget the sincerity of the apology sent to Ximen Mansion before sunset." With that, he gently helped the staggering woman and slowly walked out of the Wufang Restaurant.
Everyone present looked at each other, regretting it, they should have known that pies would not fall from the sky, this time it was really a loss to steal chickens and rice, and they lost their wives and soldiers. It's just that...... Although Ximen Mansion is in Linyuan City, this famous Lord Longjin has not appeared in Linyuan City for a long time...... How could it be so coincidental?
"Your Excellency, you're back for the Presbyterian Church, right?" said the forgotten storyteller.
Only then did everyone present come back to their senses, although this lord never liked to take care of things, he was indeed one of the nine elders!
The Nine Shadows Continent is divided into nine states, which are managed and controlled by nine Great Elders, and the elder positions change every fifty years. Linyuan City is the central city of the Nine Shadows Continent, not in Kyushu, and the elders' meeting every fifty years is held in this Linyuan City.
...... I'm afraid that this Linyuan City will set off a bloody storm again.
