Xie Tianqing took out a fresh crucian carp from the refrigerator and washed it under the faucet: "Maybe we should think differently, since we can't beat it head-on, we should start from the side." ”

"Huh?"

"For example, guess the motive and purpose of everything he does, stop the loss in time, and then find his weakness, and finally strike a fatal blow." Xie Tianqing said, and the knife in his hand made a few cuts on the fish.

"You're right. This time, he put so much effort into the soul of the peony, and the soul of the peony condensed into the shape of a flower...... Why? Aren't all soul condensations round? ”

Xie Tianqing pondered for a moment: "I don't know the specific reason, it may be related to his feelings for Boss Liu." The soul is not a form. ”

"Ahh What the hell is Lu Qing going to do! In a hurry, Hua Candle grabbed her hair with her hands.

Xie Tianqing frowned: "Wash your hands." ”

Hua Zhu honestly turned on the faucet to wash his hands, and Xie Tianqing had already put the fish in the pot.

"You can also help think about it, don't be so demanding of the cat all the time."

"Well...... There are still too few clues at the moment, and judging from the fact that he is collecting souls, there are too many bad things that can be done. But ......"

"But what?"

"But I think we'll see him again soon."

"How do you know?"

Xie Tianqing smiled: "Intuition." ”

Hua Zhu sighed, he was already holding a spoon and chopsticks in his hand and was ready to eat, he poked the table with the other end of the chopsticks: "I always feel a little guilty, obviously we were all there at the time, but I still watched him be taken away by Lu Qing." ”

Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu walked back to the living room, and there was fish soup squatting in the pot. Xie Tianqing pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and sat down and said, "After I came back, I was wondering if Peony had reached some kind of agreement with Lu Qing. ”

"I don't quite understand." The flower candle is a little cloudy.

"Peony is a self-killing revenant, but his resentment is not heavy, and his strength is not so strong, how did he maintain this enchantment all the time? So I guess that Lu Qing found Wang Dezhi before he met Peony, and told him that he would meet the former Boss Liu again, and Peony's wish has always been that Boss Liu left him, so Peony and Lu Qing reached an agreement, Lu Qing helped Peony create an enchantment to lure Wang Dezhi in, and after Peony's wish was fulfilled, he would use his soul in exchange. ”

"He's just for an answer? Does he not know what it means to be without a soul? ”

Xie Tianqing could understand Peony's mood, he saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up, raised his hand and patted Hua Candle's head: "Many things are not decided by reason. ”

He's a cat, and sometimes he doesn't understand that, but he knows that there are things he can't control.

Perhaps in Peony's heart, the answer is more important than the soul.

Xie Tianqing walked out of the kitchen with the fish and put it on the table: "It's okay." ”

Hua Candle opened the lid of the pot and couldn't wait to stretch out the spoon, but his hand was grabbed by Xie Tianqing: "It's hot, wait a minute." ”

He withdrew his hand in frustration, and said with saliva dripping from his mouth: "So it means that the tactics of pressing people are to be adopted now?" ”

Xie Tianqing took a big spoon and gently stirred it in the pot to let the heat dissipate as soon as possible: "For now, this is the case. Moreover, your cultivation should also seize the time to practice. Don't you think that after you reach the Netherworld, your cultivation is not as fast as your flesh? ”

Hua Zhu angrily slapped the chopsticks on the table: "You are talking nonsense! How can I get fat so fast! ”

Xie Tianqing looked at him with a smile.

Indeed, the human form of the flower candle does look like a thin teenager, but these are all illusions.

"You turn back into a cat and look in the mirror yourself. You can't be like other orange cats, you have to become the clear stream of orange cats, you are the demon lord of the demon world. ”

Hua Candle's eyes rolled: "I...... I'm not much fat, you can't exaggerate. ”

Xie Tianqing laughed meaninglessly twice: "Okay, let's not talk about you." Eat, it should be fine. ”

Hua Zhu picked up the chopsticks again, sandwiched the large pieces of fish into his bowl, and took a bite of the fish and his face was full of happiness.

Xie Tianqing looked at Hua Candle's expression, and felt that he was filled with heat.

Just a fish can be so happy, simple and easy to satisfy, is he really a demon? Xie Tianqing always couldn't help but think like this.

The next morning, at about six o'clock, the sky outside was bright, and the candle cat was still asleep, and was suddenly woken up by Xie Tianqing.

Hua Zhu looked up at Xie Tianqing with half-squinted eyes, very sleepy and didn't want to speak.

"Flower candles, there is a party in the evening, will come back later. I put the money on the table, you wake up and go to the vegetable market or supermarket to buy fish, and wait for me to come back and cook it. If you're hungry, buy a snack to cushion your stomach. Xie Tianqing said softly.

Hua Candle yawned and closed her eyes again, and said in a daze, "Well...... Got it. ”

Xie Tianqing saw that the flower candle fell asleep again, and couldn't help sighing. He was still afraid that Hua Candle would forget everything when he woke up, so he wrote a note and put it on the coffee table in the living room.

The most comfortable thing in winter is to sleep lazy, and Hua Zhu slept until the afternoon before waking up. He poked his head out of the quilt and looked around, but Xie Tianqing was not there.

Xie Tianqing seemed to have told him something in the morning, but he had forgotten it now......

What did he say......

After sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, the candle cat jumped out of bed and turned into a human form and walked to the living room.

There was a note on the coffee table in the living room, and next to the note was two hundred dollars.

Hua Zhu picked up the note and looked at it, a little unhappy.

Xie Tianqing actually threw one of his cats at home and ran out to play by himself.

Very excessive!

Hua Zhu was depressed in her heart, but she still picked up two hundred yuan and went out to buy fish.

He was going to spend all the money and not give Xie Tianqing a penny.

There is a vegetable market fifteen minutes walk from where they live, and it happens to be in the evening when many people from work come to buy vegetables, and the vegetable market is very crowded and noisy.

The flower candles in the shape of teenagers are particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Finally, he stopped in front of a stall selling live fish, looked down at the fish in the water and swallowed his saliva.

The fish seller was a middle-aged uncle, and when he saw him stop in front of his stall, he asked with a smile, "Do you want to buy fish?" What kind of fish do you want? ”

Hua Zhu thought for a moment: "I want this." He pointed to the grass carp in front of him, he wanted to eat sauerkraut fish.

"Good! Do you want to cut? The uncle quickly scooped up the fish and pressed it on the cutting board, and struck it the fish's head.

"Yes." Flower Candle nodded.

The uncle washed and cut the fish, put it in a bag and gave it to Hua Candle, who happily walked back after paying the money. From time to time, he looked down at the fish, but didn't look much at the road ahead.

Suddenly, he collided with a person, who staggered a few steps by him, and the flower candle also slipped under his feet.

Hua Zhu looked up: "You ......" He was startled at the first glance.

He saw that the man's face was gray, his eyes were blue, his lips were dark purple, and his hands were black, squirming like blood vessels.

But soon, Hua Zhu blinked his eyes, and this person returned to the appearance of ordinary people, but he was weaker than ordinary people. There's nothing wrong with that.

For a moment, Hua Zhu thought that he was already dazzled, or that he hadn't woken up, but a strange aura came from this person's body and made Hua Zhu confirm that he was not mistaken.

The man did not speak after his footsteps were steady, and walked behind him around the candle.

Hua Zhu frowned and followed behind the man, and only after leaving the crowded vegetable market did he take out his life chart.

The horoscope began to rotate indiscriminately, and it did not stabilize in any position, just like a compass that was affected by a magnetic field.

Although Hua Zhu didn't know why, it shouldn't have anything to do with Lu Qing.

Since it has nothing to do with Lu Qing, it has nothing to do with him.

Hua Candle stood still, and after noting the location of this place a little, she went back with the fish, and bought a lot of snacks on the way back.

When I got home, I turned on the heating and ate snacks while watching the dog blood TV series, but the appearance of that person always appeared in my mind from time to time.

The candle shook off the image in his mind. He can't find Lu Qing now, where can he take care of other things......

But...... That man...... It feels weird.

Hua Candle's thoughts had flown away, everything on TV skipped in front of him, he came back to his senses after eating the snacks in his hand, and an episode of TV was over.

He had no idea what was going on in that episode.

He grabbed his hair a little irritably, shook his legs, and stared at the unfinished snacks on the coffee table in front of him, a little uneasy.

Suddenly, he felt his head dizzy, his left hand was numb with pain, he raised his hand, and the same black vein-like thing appeared on his hand.

The moving black line spread from his fingertips to his wrist and was forced back by the mana in his body, which directly caused his nails to turn black.

Black lines crawled all over his fingers.

And his right hand was fine.

His fingertips hurt so much that he trembled, and Hua Candle couldn't help but groan and fell on the sofa.

"Heavenly ...... Tianqing ...... Come back soon......" Hua Candle's painful eyes were filled with tears, and Xie Tianqing's name was read in her mouth.

Xie Tianqing, who was at the party, was still laughing with the classmates next to him, but suddenly, his smile froze on his face.

He got up and picked up the outer one hanging on the back of the chair and put it on as he put it on, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was something to do, and I wanted to go." Tell me later how much I'm going to pay. ”

Xie Tianqing's classmates looked at him with some confusion, but before he could speak, he had already walked out of the cafeteria.

"What's wrong with Xie Tianqing? Got a fire at home? He joked with his good classmates.

"Hahaha, maybe I suddenly remembered that I forgot to feed his cat. Xie Tianqing is a full-level cat slave. ”

"Hahahaha, it's possible."

After complaining for a while, they put the episode behind them.

Xie Tianqing connected this contract with Hua Candle again, and he sensed that Hua Candle was calling him.

Soon, Xie Tianqing arrived at the door of the house, he took out the key to open the door, and when he didn't see the candle at first sight, his heart rose to his throat.
