Chapter 111: Ye Qiufeng, the owner of the teahouse
At the beginning of the lights, the street was bustling, and the teahouse at the end of the alley was also like this, but when the laughing voice sounded, it suddenly fell silent.
It didn't take long, and it was back to normal in a few moments.
Xiao Yao had her back to the place where the voice came from, but she clearly knew who it was.
She looked up at Momiji's stunned face and moved to the side, with no intention of stopping her from moving forward.
Despite this, Momiji remained there, with no intention of going forward, and she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the doorway, her heart beat faster, and her breathing became rapid.
The man walked towards her, dressed in white, and in the faint light emitted by the demon fire night lamp, it made people blur and blood surging at the same time, reaching the top of his head.
Of course, this is only in Momiji's eyes, and most of the other youkai didn't react when they saw him come in, only a small number of eyes showed a hint of surprise, but other than that, there was no other emotion.
"Boss, where have you been all these days? Why did it take so long to come back? ”
"I don't think the boss has been staying in a confidante's room lately, and he has forgotten that he still has a teahouse!"
"Haha, yes, yes! I also think it's very likely! ”
On the way to Momiji, several youkai who often like to laugh immediately shouted loudly.
The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the teahouse could hear it, some people looked away, some people listened attentively, all wanting to find out something interesting in this boring night.
The man they called the boss didn't react when he heard their words, but instead Momiji, who had come back to his senses, was angry.
"It's just a retreat, it's not what you think." The voice sounded, still smiling.
"Yikes! The boss is going to be robbed again?! It's really enviable! ”
"It's really enviable, he's the second time, but I don't even know what that thunder looks like that day!"
"There are three heavenly thunders in total, boss, you have already encountered two!?"
"Boss, how are you ......?"
This time, there were more youkai involved in that topic, and they exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were more often on the person who was already in front of Momiji.
As the central figure of the topic, the man didn't say a few words to them, and went straight to Momiji, stopped and looked at her and sighed.
"How...... What's wrong!? Momiji took a step back, not daring to approach him in the slightest.
"Give the antidote to the remnant fire." There was no hint of negotiation.
"No." Momiji twisted her head to the side and didn't look at him.
"You promised me that I wouldn't hurt anyone again."
"I promised you yes, but whoever asked her to find her own death and said something she shouldn't have said, then I had no choice but to give her a ride."
"Clear Frost!"
"It's easy to talk about anything else, but there's no antidote."
"Really, don't give it?"
"Don't give it!"
“……”
The man frowned slightly, and looked at her without speaking.
After being stared at for a long time, Momiji began to feel impatient, she was not a gentle person, if it wasn't for the person she was facing was him, I am afraid that she would have gouged out that person's eyes a long time ago.
"In that case, then I'll use my magic power to help her transform!" As he spoke, he was about to walk to the place where the remnant fire was.
Momiji turned his head suddenly, stepped forward and grabbed his arm tightly, and after he stopped, he took out an object from his arms and threw it towards the residual fire, and then said coldly: "Red internal, white crushed external, once effective."
During the whole process, her eyes kept falling on the man's face, and when she saw him curl the corners of her lips, she looked relieved, and immediately let go of his arm and walked towards the door.
"Clear Frost!" The man followed.
Xiao Yao sat in the corner, the frowning brows that had been frowning finally dispersed, and when he saw that the remnant fire had already eaten the medicine, he patted his heart with peace of mind, got up and didn't stay longer, and walked directly upstairs.
"Clear Frost!" Another bang.
The streets were noisy, and all kinds of voices were intertwined, but those voices didn't reach Momiji's ears at all, and she heard the man behind her shouting her name.
She didn't mean to stop, she lowered her head and walked forward, but the speed was not fast, and if the person wanted to chase it, it wouldn't take a few steps.
Momiji thought in her heart that if he could catch up with her, she would never worry about the remnants of the fire with him again, but looking at him, it seemed that she didn't mean to catch up with her at all.
She walked a little further, and the man behind her, still at the same speed as her, followed her.
It's not once or twice like this, but for such a result, Momiji is still difficult to accept.
"Grandma is so fed up!"
Momiji stopped directly and turned to look at him.
"Ye Qiufeng, can you give your aunt a letter of approval! Don't hang your aunt like this anymore, okay! ”
Momiji is not a calm person, she gets angry easily, and once she gets angry, she becomes open-mouthed.
Ye Qiufeng, who was following her, stopped the moment he saw her stop, and the two stood opposite each other, separated by a long distance.
"Qingshuang, I told you a long time ago, so that you don't waste your time on me! That's the answer I'm giving you, don't you understand! ”
"You fucking bullshit! That's not what you think in your heart, you're obviously ......"
What is it? Do you just like her? Momiji can't say it!
She had never guessed Ye Qiufeng's thoughts.
The sound stopped instantly, and she lowered her head and raised her hand to wipe it on her face.
"Qingshuang, I ......"
didn't give him a chance to continue, Momiji turned around directly, and casually picked a direction and walked away quickly.
The tears on his face couldn't be wiped away, and Momiji lowered his head and didn't care about anything, rampage through the streets.
"Bang-"
The impact made her take a step back, but she didn't feel the pain, looked up blankly, and when she saw the person in front of her holding her shoulders and frowning, she said, "I'm sorry!"
"Qingshuang, you have to apologize for doing something wrong."
This was the first sentence that Ye Qiufeng taught her, and she never forgot it.
Thinking back to the past, Momiji felt her heart being pinched tightly by a hand, making her breathless.
"Are you alright?" The man she hit saw that she didn't look right, so he asked.
Hongye shook her head, just as Ye Qiufeng's voice sounded behind her at this time, her brows that had finally stretched out were furrowed again, she didn't stay any longer, and disappeared directly into the street.
Ye Qiufeng stopped when he saw her leave, he was frowning there now, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The little monster surnamed Ye!"
Ye Qiufeng looked violently towards the place where the voice came from, at first his vision was very blurry, and he could only vaguely see two people standing there, but he was indeed very familiar with the voice just now.
"Qi ...... Spell? He asked tentatively.
Although it was familiar, he was not sure because it had been too long.
"Hmm." A smiling voice came from that direction.
The two people standing in his sight were Qi Zhen and Nan He.
Seeing that the two of them were talking, Nan He put down the hand rubbing his shoulder, moved his gaze back from Ye Qiufeng, and fell on Qi Zhen's face: "He is the familiar flower tree demon you said?"
"That's right!" Qi Zhen also withdrew his gaze, looked at her and smiled.
"Why are you so happy?" For the smile on his face, Nan He was very puzzled.
This question was just a whim, and she didn't think about it at all, if she knew what Qi Zhen would answer next, she would definitely not ask such a question!
"Because you're by my side!" Qi Zhen's smile did not decrease, and even deepened a little, his eyes were full of soft light, and he winked at Nan He.
"......" For this kind of behavior of pit himself, Nan He almost wanted to shoot himself to death for asking this question.
"He's the most powerful little monster I know, his cultivation is profound, and he's kind, but he has some eye diseases, of course, this doesn't affect his ability, so about the demon you're looking for, you can ask him." After a moment of impropriety, he quickly returned to his original appearance, and he did not forget what his real purpose was when he brought Nan He here, and said in a low voice in her ear.
"Eye disease?" In those words, she noticed this alone.
"Hmm. I heard that I was injured when I was refining demon fire. Qi Zhen knew what she meant, and told him everything he knew.
"I heard?" Nan He looked at him with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "Is the news accurate?" ”
"......" Qi Zhen didn't answer her immediately, "You seem to be very curious about this matter!" ”
"I'm very curious, after all, this matter is very important, so if you know, please tell us everything!" There is no denial in the slightest.
Qi Zhen was quite surprised by her behavior, he suddenly stopped laughing, pursed his lips, and then said, "I've told you everything, it's just ......"
He had only heard about it, so he couldn't tell her by oath.
Just looking at his expression at this time, you can know what he is thinking, Nan He didn't ask any more, and after answering, he thought about it.
The two of them were talking energetically, but Ye Qiufeng had already come to his senses over there, and when he saw the two people in his sight, he walked over quickly.
"Where have you been all these years? How did you come back again? What are you going to do when you come back this time? When are you leaving? As soon as it came up, there was a series of questions, and when he turned his gaze to Nan He on the side, he said again, "This is ...... Could it be the one you talked about earlier? ”
Qi Zhen glanced at Nan He, and saw that none of her were interested in the questions he asked, so he didn't mean to answer, and only said, "Do you really want me to come back?"
Looking at Ye Qiufeng's face, his gaze wandered: "Still don't want to?"
Ye Qiufeng suddenly laughed, his skin was very good, he was already likable, and this laugh was even more unbearable.
But of the two people in front of him, one was concentrating on the problem, and the other was only focusing on the person next to him, and no one noticed him at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, no one spoke, they looked at each other and kept it for a long time, and finally it was Nan He who broke this weird atmosphere.
"You're a youkai?" She asked Ye Qiufeng.
Concerned about her identity, Ye Qiufeng stayed on her face and nodded at her.
This question is completely an idiot question, and Nan He asks this just to see if he will ignore himself.
"You're a ...... Flower Dryad? "On top of that sentence, add a few more things.
Ye Qiufeng was obviously stunned, and the smile on his face stiffened, but he quickly recovered, his eyes were deflected, and he glanced at Qi Zhen on the side.
"As you might think, I told her about your identity." Seeing this, Qi Zhen directly explained.
Anyway, it's all about talking, and it doesn't make much difference if you say it early or late.
Because of his words, Ye Qiufeng's attention shifted to Nan He again, this time he didn't ask Qi Zhen, but asked her directly, "What is the relationship between the two of you?"
The question was quite subtle.
For this question, Nan He felt that there was no need to answer, but seeing that Ye Qiufeng's face was full of words, if she didn't answer, she wouldn't tell her what she wanted to know, and in desperation, she was forced to think about it.
Qi Zhen was also waiting to hear her answer, even though he knew he wouldn't hear anything as he wanted it to.
"Friends. We're just ordinary friends. Nan He opened his mouth and deliberately emphasized it.
As expected, it turned out to be the case.
The smile on his face did not change at all, but the light in his eyes was gone.
Hearing her answer, Ye Qiufeng asked him again with his eyes, and when he nodded, he answered: "So that's the case!"
Nan He couldn't judge his emotions because of his expressionless appearance, so he didn't rush to show his purpose here.
For a moment, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was awkward again, and this time no one spoke first to interrupt.
When Di He returned to the small courtyard with Yaoxi, there was no one in the courtyard, and he transmitted the message to Nan He, but Nan He ignored him.
Trying to transmit the sound again, he frowned, his brows full of worry.
"You're the only one? What about the girl who stayed with you by the river that day? Yaoxi's voice sounded across from him.
I didn't expect her to ask herself this question, Di He came back to his senses in an instant, he looked at Yaoxi, smiled at her and said, "She went out, she should be back later."
The tone was not entirely sure, he couldn't contact Nan He at the moment, so naturally he didn't know when she would come back.
"Hmm." There was not the slightest emotion in his tone.
After this, she had no intention of saying anything more, and sat quietly on the edge of the stone table, staring at the table, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Why is Master here?" Just because she doesn't want to talk doesn't mean that the person in front of her doesn't want to talk either.
"Tribulation." Concise and to the point, without the slightest hint of concealment.
Her answer undoubtedly made Di He feel a little lucky, and his eyes changed and changed when he looked at her, and finally asked, "Is Master's calamity here?"
Yaoxi didn't know why he asked like this, so she didn't mean to answer him at all.
After not seeing her speak for a long time, Di He thought for a moment and asked again, "Why don't I change the question?"
Cautiously asked what she meant.
Yaoxi didn't know what he was clinging to, so she nodded.
At the moment when she nodded, a voice sounded immediately after: "Master, does you know your fate...... Who's on it? ”
His eyes were fixed on her, his eyes were hot, and he desperately wanted to know the answer, but Yaoxi didn't react at all.
The last silence was interrupted by Qi Zhan.
"There's something I want you to help with, but I don't know if you have anything important?" This was said to Ye Qiufeng.
"Want my help? Can't you do that? Ye Qiufeng set his eyes on Qi Zhen, whether it was his tone or expression, it was full of provocation.
"......" Holding back the idea of not letting himself do anything to the person in front of him, Qi Zhen sighed and explained to him, "It's not that I can't do it, it's because she didn't tell me what that thing was at all." ”
"She didn't tell you?!" Ye Qiufeng was very puzzled by this.
Qi Zhen nodded, with a sad expression: "No way, it's my fault, I haven't made her fully believe me."
"So she's really the one you said you said earlier?"
"Exactly."
“……”
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Nan He opened his mouth and continued to talk about the topic they said just now: "I want to find a monster like you, this matter will be easier for you to do!"
Hearing her speak, the two of them came back to their senses, Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows at him, and Ye Qiufeng nodded in response: "Hmm." It's easier, after all, it's the same race. ”
"In that case, that's great!"
Nan He laughed, and was about to lead the matter to Qi Harrier, but was interrupted by Qi Zhen's next words.
"It's very noisy with a lot of people here, why don't you find a quieter place and let's talk slowly?"
The two of them only glanced at him, and neither answered, but he knew what they meant.
Now that you agreed, it's easy to do.
"Little monster surnamed Ye, I heard that you opened a teahouse here? Is the message accurate? Qi Zhen stepped forward and put his hand on Ye Qiufeng's shoulder.
When he heard the word teahouse, Nan He subconsciously thought of the teahouse at the end of Shili Lane and alleys, which were full of monsters.
Her eyes looked at Ye Qiufeng over and over again, and she remembered that when she first went to that teahouse, she heard the descriptions of some of these monsters about the owner of the teahouse, and the more she looked, the more she felt that Ye Qiufeng was completely consistent with those descriptions.
"You're as well-informed as ever, but I don't know who you heard this time from?"
The meaning of this is very clear, he did open a teahouse.
Qi Zhen only smiled at him and did not answer this question, but Nan He, who had just figured things out on the side, took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know where Your Excellency's teahouse is?"
Ye Qiufeng looked at her face, and didn't ask her why she asked like this, and directly replied to her: "Ten Mile Lane."
Nan He: "......"
That's true! Ye Qiufeng is the owner of the teahouse where all monsters are monsters!
For a while, she couldn't think of anything other than lamenting the coincidence of things.
