I grew up with my grandfather, and I never saw my parents since I was a child, so I didn't have any concept of parental love, so I didn't feel any sense of lack. Du Ruonan is different, her childhood was spent with her parents, and her memory has memories of Du Shanshan. She has witnessed how the originally happy family has become fragmented, so the memory of her mother is the softest part of her heart, and it is also the saddest place for her.

I have the impression that Du Ruonan is a strong, independent, and tenacious girl, but these days, the wounds in her heart have been torn open repeatedly, and her eyes are always filled with sad tears. Every time I think of her sad eyes, my heart aches. But there is no way, this is what she has to face, the wound is torn open repeatedly, it is indeed very painful, but after the pain, she will heal the deepest wound in her heart, get out of that memory, and really grow up.

So, I'll leave her alone and let her cry bitterly.

I asked Bai Yan, "Is there any smoke?" ”

"What would you like to smoke?" She asked me.

"Whatever, preferably a cigar", I said.

She handed me a fine cigar, then took out a match and lit it for me.

I took a few hard puffs and smiled calmly, "It's convenient." ”

She smiled at me, "If you want, you can do it too." ”

I also laughed, "I still prefer my current life......"

She shrugged, "It's okay, it won't be long before the little master's supernatural powers will be much stronger than mine." ”

I looked at her, smiled slightly, and asked her, "How long have you been with the Peacock King?" ”

"More than 900 years," she said.

"Oh", I nodded, and took a soft puff on my cigarette.

In this way, we chatted, I asked Bai Yan a lot about the demon world, she basically knew everything, I asked her a lot of questions, and she answered them one by one very seriously.

That feeling was like taking a science lesson about the demon world, which benefited me a lot.

Finally, I asked about the Esoteric Realm.

"The secret realm is a part of the Buddha realm, but it is actually the origin of the Buddha realm and the heavenly realm," she said, "The ancient gods of the heavenly realm, the ancient Buddhas of the Buddha realm, all came from the secret realm. ”

"So, the power of the secret realm should be the largest?" I asked her.

She thought for a moment, "This...... I don't know. What I know is also what the master told me, but he didn't mention the power of the secret realm, and no one dared to ask. ”

"Why are you so afraid of him?" I wondered, "Is it because he can eat you?" Bai Yan smiled faintly, "He is our master." ”

"The demon is so loyal to his master?" I couldn't help but ask.

"It can't be said that all demons are loyal, but we peacock demon clans are basically loyal to our masters," she said, "Loyal to the master now, loyal to the little master in the future." When the little master becomes the master, we will also be loyal to Jin Ye! I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Is there anything else about me here?" "We were loyal to Madame Duran when she was there," she said earnestly, "and so are you!" ”

Speaking of which, a question suddenly occurred to me, "Madame Duran, how did she die?" "Because of the birth of Miss Shanshan", she said, "Miss Shanshan was born with a thousand years of cultivation, and Mrs. Duran exhausted her vitality in order to conceive her, so soon after Miss Shanshan was born, Mrs. ......" "So that's ......" I nodded, "It's really not easy for a woman to give birth to a child......" Bai Yan glanced at me, "When the little master gives birth to you in the future, it won't be so dangerous." ”

My heart moved and I asked her, "Is there a day?" "Yes!" She affirmed, "You still have about fifteen years to live, but after you are forty years old, you can impregnate your little master." ”

I smiled calmly and nodded, "What did you say...... That's right......"

Bai Yan seemed to want to say something, but she thought about it and held back.

I didn't continue to ask, I knew about the continuation of my life, just do it steadily, there was no need to ask her.

After waiting for a while, Du Ruonan came out.

Bai Yan hurriedly stood up, "Little master!" Du Ruonan squeezed out a smile at her, came to my side, and said to me softly, "Brother, let's go." ”

"Are you alright?" I asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," she said.

In her eyes, I saw the long-lost tenacity and calmness, as well as a kind of detachment and calmness.

I'll smile in my heart, my Ruonan, I've really grown up.

My name is Wu Jin, and the Peacock King let us live in Jinyuan, I don't know if there is a special intention. However, this manor is really good, the style is different from the bamboo garden, it is a typical French manor. Whether it is a garden, a villa or other buildings, they are all very exquisitely built and extremely luxurious.

That night, we stayed at Jinyuan.

In the next two days, I never left Jinyuan, except for eating, sleeping, and bullying Du Ruonan every day, the rest of the time was basically spent healing. Du Ruonan goes to talk to the Peacock King every day, and I don't know what the grandparents and grandchildren are talking about, but it can be seen from her expression that although she still has a lot of opinions about this grandfather, she has begun to try to accept this family affection.

Two days later, my internal injuries were basically healed. That morning, after we had made out, we discussed going home in bed.

"I want to go to my dad," she said in my arms, "and from now on, I'll live with my dad." ”

"Then it's inconvenient for me to look for you again?" I asked her, "Is your dad going to kick me out?" ”

She smiled, "How so?" You are my man, the benefactor of the Leng family, how could he treat you like that? ”

I took a deep breath, "It's hard to talk about it...... When you go back, your grandfather will definitely want you to go home, and if your father says the same thing, what will you do? ”

"I have promised my grandfather, I will not break my promise", she said, "I am a descendant of the Peacock Demon Clan, my grandfather said that his golden body is about to be cultivated, and in another twenty years at most, he will be able to return to the secret realm." When the time comes, he will let me inherit his position and lead the Peacock Demon Clan. ”

"You promised?"

"Not yet, I said I'll think about it", she looked at me, "Brother, do you think I can do it?" "Of course you can!" I smiled, "You have the thousand-year-old cultivation left by your mother, and before your grandfather returns to the secret realm, he will also leave you a demon pill, and your strength will be very strong at that time, what are you afraid of?" She breathed a sigh of relief, "If only it were that simple." Grandpa said that the demons led by the peacock demon clan are all beautiful birds. It is not easy for a bird to become a demon, and it is even more difficult to get a human body, but once it has a human body, it is often stronger than other demons. Although there are not many people in the Peacock Demon Clan, their strength is not weak. But because of this, it has caused the dissatisfaction of the Southeast Demon Venerable, and for hundreds of years, he has always been eyeing us. ”

I don't quite understand, "Why?" ”

"Grandpa said that the five demon venerables rule the demon clan of the world, and only the peacock demon clan is not under their jurisdiction. Since my grandfather inherited the Peacock Demon Clan, he has experienced two Southeast Demon Venerables, and they are all worried about the fact that the Peacock Demon Clan is independent of its sphere of influence, and they always want to find an opportunity to bring our subordinates under their banner. He said that the current Southeast Demon Venerable has a deep background and an extremely high level of cultivation, and we can't afford to mess with it at all. Therefore, you can't bump into it, you can only find a way to deal with it and protect the interests of the Peacock Demon Clan......"

"The background is profound, and the cultivation is extremely ......high," I thought about it and asked her, "Could it be that this Southeast Demon Venerable is more powerful than the Tiger Master?" ”

"I also asked my grandfather this question, and he said that these two demon venerables are equal in terms of strength, and in terms of cultivation, they should be comparable," she said.

"Oh......" I nodded, "got it......"

"I always feel like a ......dream," she sighed, "These days, too many things have happened, I knew this, I really might as well not take you to Mu Ting's restaurant to eat, let's just change the restaurant." ”

I laughed, "What ifs in life?" Besides, if you didn't meet Mu Ting, what would you do after a month? In the final analysis, this is all due to chance, and it is also your great fortune. Now that you have recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, you will have a home in the future, and you will no longer have to live alone in the rivers and lakes, how good is this? ”

She hugged me gently, "Brother, in the Water Lotus Zen Temple, my aunt told me what happened that night. She said that in order to save me, you let her attack you with a witch spirit, so your arm was injured...... You've been so kind to me, I don't know how to repay you......"

Her eyes were red.

I smiled calmly and lifted her chin, "Ruonan, can you promise me one thing?" ”

"Hmm!" She nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Don't call me brother in the future", I looked at her, "I'm your man, you call me by my name." ”

"Name?" She was stunned, "...... Is it appropriate? ”

"It's a nice name, it's weird," I gently stroked her face, "Change it." ”

"Then I...... What do you call? She asked, blushing.

"Like Lin Xiao, call me Jin", I smiled, "Listen, how kind this is!" ”

She smiled lightly and nodded, "Hmm! ”

I smiled, kissed her, and took her hand, "Ruonan, don't worry about that Southeast Demon Venerable." First, you won't take your grandfather's seat until twenty years later, and I don't know what will happen at that time; Second, I will always be by your side, if that Southeast Demon Venerable dares to bully you, I will not stand idly by! You are my woman, and I will protect you for the rest of my life! ”

She choked back tears and smiled happily, "Nishiki, I love you......"

She leaned in and kissed me on the lips.

I hugged her emotionally, lingering for a while.

After kissing for a while, she suddenly remembered something, quickly let go of me, and said to me, "By the way, I asked my grandfather yesterday about your life...... "Yes?" What did he say? I asked.

"He said that there are many ways to continue life, but you are more special, and there are many methods that others can use, but you can't use them."

I frowned, "I'm special?" What kind of special law? ”

"He said that the secret talisman on your body has a background, I asked him what the origin is, and he said that he can't tell me, otherwise it will hurt you", she looked at me, "But he also said that the secret technique of Liuhemen can save Wu Jin, he told me not to worry, saying that in the future you will find a way to save yourself, and when the time comes, the Peacock Demon Clan will fully cooperate to help you continue your life." ”

I'll smile and say, "Good! ”

The Peacock King said so, which proves that my idea is right. Now that Du Ruonan's affairs have basically been done, I can return to the capital with confidence and start to concentrate and study the Liuhe Eight Formations.

I let out a long sigh of relief and hugged her tightly, "Ruonan, let's go back to the capital today." ”

"Hmm!" She nodded, "I think so too, you don't have to be distracted by my business, I'll go find my dad myself." You go back to the capital, rest for a few days, and then start studying the Liuhe Eight Formations! ”

"Good! Then let's finish breakfast and go to your grandfather to say goodbye!" ”

She smiled, "Hmm! "After breakfast, the two of us left Jinyuan, came to the compound, and told the Peacock King about returning to Beijing.

After hearing this, the Peacock King didn't speak for a long time.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Du Ruonan asked, "Don't you want us to go back?" ”

The Peacock King glanced at her and cleared his throat, "Ruonan, you can go back, but ......"

As she was talking, Mu Ting anxiously came in to report, "Master, it's not good, the Northeast Demon Venerable is here!" ”

The Peacock King was stunned, "Huh? ”

The two of us were also stunned, "Master Tiger? While speaking, Chen Wen broke in with a group of big men, and after seeing me from a distance, he waved his big hand and roared like a tiger, "Dude, don't be afraid!" The tiger has rescued you! ”

I'm speechless.
