Every time there is a birthday dinner, it is the most celebratory and lively time in the demon world. But Yue Ming, but I have always disliked it.

"I wish the Demon King all the best, and he can make the Demon Realm stronger and stronger." A man in a fancy costume stood up from the table with a blue glass of wine in his hand.

"Thank you." Yue Ming politely raised his glass and took a sip.

At the same time, more and more wishes came from all directions:

"I wish the Demon King good health!"

"I wish the Demon King one day to rule the world and take the people of the other worlds under his command."

"I wish the Demon King the most powerful person in the Six Realms!"

……

Yue Ming listened to these hypocritical wishes, and his face looked impassive, but he was secretly sneering in his heart. These people don't have a chance to get close to him on weekdays, and his birthday party is really a good opportunity for them to flatter.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Yue Ming noticed that An Lengyao was sitting silently in a small corner. Whether everyone participated in the banquet sincerely or pretendedly, their faces were full of joy, only An Lengyao was silent, with a slight sadness between his eyebrows. Yue Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, eight years ago, he persuaded his mother to let An Lengyao celebrate his birthday with him and attend the banquet. But An Lengyao has always refused to appear with him at the dinner. That person's thoughts, Yue Ming naturally understood, An Lengyao was afraid of attracting criticism from others, and such a small person could also be qualified to celebrate his birthday with the Demon King. When An Lengyao arrived on his birthday, he always pushed left and right for the dinner in the evening, saying that he still had to practice, but today Ye Qian allowed him to rest, and he was finally pulled over by Yue Ming.

"Okay, I've received everyone's greetings." Yue Ming smiled and put down his glass, "There are so many wishes from everyone, I really can't enjoy them alone, don't you know that there is another person who is also today's birthday?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Yin Qianluo, who was sitting next to Yue Ming, changed his face slightly, and turned his head to look at Yue Ming.

After a while, a disdainful voice came from out of nowhere in the crowd: "It's cheap to let some people participate in the banquet with the demon king." Ben is an orphan, and giving him a birthday is a good thing to look at. Is such a person worthy of receiving the blessings of us nobles? ”

"Yes." Everyone answered.

An Lengyao in the corner was silent and lowered his head, but his hand holding the porcelain bowl was white.

"Yikes." Yue Ming chuckled, "The person who said this really has a bit of guts." Dare to ask who it is, come out and let me meet. There was a faint hint of a smile in his words, but anyone who heard it trembled in their hearts.

The crowd fell silent again, but no one moved.

"Do you dare to say it?" Yue Ming's slender fingers reached into the teacup and dipped a few drops of tea, "This is not in line with the bright and upright style of our Demon Realm." ”

As soon as the words fell, a few points of golden light quickly swept through everyone and hit one person. The man screamed "ahh He covered his face with his hands in pain, and a few traces of blood could be seen through his fingers.

Everyone exclaimed, they were amazed at the speed of Yue Ming's attack, which was too fast for people to see clearly. What shocked them even more was that what he had killed, not a sharp blade, was just a few drops of water.

"Demon, Demon King, I didn't mean to." The man said tremblingly, not daring to lift his head.

An Lengyao didn't expect Yue Ming to make a move for this, he was shocked, and hurriedly got up and walked through the long aisle and came to Yue Ming's side.

"Hell, why bother?" An Lengyao said to him.

Yue Ming smiled slightly and looked at the frightened man: "Yes, if you admit it early, why should you suffer from flesh and skin?" "He is not ignorant of the attitude of people in the Demon Realm towards An Lengyao, today, he just took this opportunity to warn everyone.

The man kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, it was my gaffe. I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

"Okay, I'll forgive you for once." Yue Ming interrupted him, and then said to the guests present, "An Lengyao and I are like brothers, and everyone must know it on weekdays. So, what to do and what not to do, you know for yelves. Don't let me bump into what I shouldn't say or do. I don't want to be so unhappy all the time and ruin everyone's interest, do I? ”

"Yes, yes." Everyone replied one after another, and no one dared to resist.

Yue Ming smiled and nodded; "Well, it's good to understand. I want to keep in mind that everyone has given me so many gifts at today's dinner, but I really can't thank them one by one because of so many wishes, and I hope that today next year, I can share some of the wishes I can receive to Yao. He didn't say it explicitly, but it was clear.

"Okay, I guess you're all tired today, so let's go back and rest." Yue Ming then glanced at the Demon Shadow behind him, "Demon Shadow, you go get some ointment." He said, glancing at the man who was covering his face with his hands.

"Yes." The Shadow replied.

Yue Ming glanced at An Lengyao again, and then walked through the crowd to the outside, and An Lengyao followed closely behind him.

At this time, it was already late at night in the Demon Realm, and the night sky was dotted with stars, and the full moon hanging high sprinkled everything with its silvery light. In the sky, from time to time, shooting stars glide by, and people can't help but be fascinated by it.

Yue Ming walked for a while, came to a quiet clearing, turned his head and looked at An Lengyao behind him: "I know what you have to say." He smiled, a little sly.

An Lengyao frowned and didn't say a word.

"On weekdays, those people don't like you. Today I am just a small warning, and I will punish one and pay a hundred respects. Speaking of which, you should thank me. Yue Ming said with a chuckle.

"You know it all." An Lengyao did not question, but said with certainty. The person who was hurt by Yue Ming had privately troubled him several times, and once forced himself to do it, An Lengyao was unwilling, but was injured by that person. He didn't tell Yue Ming about this. Yue Ming is already very busy dealing with the affairs of the demon world and practicing spells on weekdays, so he doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore. Tonight, Yue Ming hurt that person, and it was not like his style. That person is just a sentence, even if it doesn't sound good, he really doesn't have to suffer so much. An Lengyao's only thought was that Yue Ming knew what that person did on weekdays.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Yue Ming asked rhetorically, "He has troubled you so many times, do you really not know about me?" ”

An Lengyao couldn't help sighing and said, "I can bear it." It's your birthday, and you really don't have to disturb other people's interests for me. I think the Demon Queen will be unhappy again. "Yue Ming has already given him too many things, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything more. For so long, in addition to his father's hatred, he has supported this friendship of Yue Ming. For this, he can endure everything.

"I don't care if she's happy or not. Besides, over the years, she has rarely cared about my business. ”

Yue Ming didn't care, "However, don't think I don't know, that person just now is Lin Chumo's subordinate." This Lin Chumo relied on my mother's favor and accepted a lot of followers from his subordinates, but they used shady means to force others to obey him. This time he punished that person, and it was also regarded as killing the chicken to show the monkey, so that Lin Chumo could be more restrained in the future. ”

People like Lin Chumo, he has seen too much in the demon world, and relying on his status, he shows off his power everywhere. This kind of person will not be able to become a big tool in the future. For Lin Chumo, he always wanted to teach him a lesson. But because of his mother's favor and trust in that person, coupled with his parents' previous status in the demon world, it was not easy for Yue Ming to come clearly.

"Lin Chumo is a little proud on weekdays, but he is not an evil person, and you don't have to put too much thought into him." An Lengyao said.

Yue Ming patted his head and took a big breath: "Alas, in the end, Yao is more tolerant." Of course, people like Lin Chumo are not to be feared, but I am only afraid that he will be used or go down the wrong path with a ghostly mind, and if he goes down the wrong path, it will be a big trouble at that time. ”

An Lengyao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be silent.

The night sky is still beautiful at this time, but will it be cloudy in the next second? The world is impermanent, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable.

The aqua blue light kept floating on a pair of white hands, and if you looked closely, its owner was a girl about ten years old. The girl's body was a little thin, her aqua blue hair glittered in the sun, and the smile on her face was so beautiful and pure.

"Well, in the past eight years, your spells have been very good." It was another girl with the same extraordinary temperament who spoke, "Phantom Ice, with your current mana, ordinary people can't pose any threat to you. ”

"Really?" Phantom Ice was a little incredulous. Eight years have made her grow from a young child to a beautiful girl.

"Am I going to lie to you again?"

Phantom Bing smiled, thought about it, and spoke: "It's not all because Sister Wenya taught well. Otherwise, how could I have this day? She has always been grateful to Wen Ya for teaching her carefully for so many years.

Xin Wenya took out a square scarf, carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead for Phantom Bing, and smiled softly: "I have always regarded you as my sister, these are nothing, the important thing is your own efforts." Ever since she taught this girl spells, she has been attracted to Phantom Ice's simple and innocent personality, and she has loved this lovely girl from the bottom of her heart. Since the death of her former best friend, Yan Yaxin, in battle, she has rarely cared for anyone else, except for Phantom Ice.

"Are we still practicing today?" Phantom Ice looked up and asked Wen Ya.

Wen Ya looked at Phantom Bing's sparkling eyes, thought for a while, and replied, "Let's practice here first, I still don't understand your thoughts?" Where do you want to play? "Phantom Ice has always been a fun-loving girl.

"Sister Wenya is so good, unlike my brother, who only urges me to practice spells." Phantom Bing blinked those innocent and beautiful eyes, "When I was chatting with Brother Ling Guang a while ago, he told me that there is a place on the border of the Divine Realm, and at night there will be a faint blue light around it, which is very beautiful, and I want to go there to see it." ”

After hearing this, Wen Ya understood what Phantom Ice was referring to, and couldn't help frowning: "Ling Guang will tell you everything." It's a beautiful place, but it's not something you can just visit. ”

"Why?" Phantom Ice asked anxiously. She has always liked to play around, and she can't stay idle for a moment.

Wen Ya looked at Phantom Bing so anxious that her cheeks turned a little red, and she hesitated to tell her the truth. But there are many places in the divine realm that are little known and secret. Phantom Ice and Phantom have greatly improved their spells in recent years, and there are few opponents in the God Realm. Although Phantom Ice is young, Bing Xue is smart and treats people with kindness. Wen Yada loves her from the bottom of her heart, and even Lingye treats her like her own sister. As for the phantom, he is even more methodical, calm and knows how to scale. In the past eight years, he has gradually taken over some things in the divine realm, and he has taken care of Lingye. It stands to reason that if they are so close to each other, they naturally can't have any secrets that can't be told. But Wen Ya deeply understands that there are some things that are always good when fewer people know about them. Besides, hiding Phantom Ice is also for her good. So, she decided that it would be better not to say anything.

Seeing that Wenya didn't answer for a long time, Phantom Bing took her hand and asked, "Sister Wenya, just tell me, okay?" ”

Wen Ya sighed, leaned over and patted Phantom Bing's shoulder: "Phantom Bing, I don't want to tell you it's for your good, that place is not safe, don't go." I'll take you to another day, okay? ”

"But ......" Phantom Ice was unwilling to give up. That's probably the characteristic of all girls – curiosity. The more reluctant others are to let them do something, the more curious they will be to try it.

"Phantom Bing, you must listen to me, this time my sister doesn't agree for your safety, you will listen to me again, okay?" Wen Ya soothed her softly.

Seeing Wen Ya say this, Phantom Bing had no choice but to nod reluctantly. But she still thought about that mysterious place in her heart, since Wen Ya didn't want to tell her, what if she went alone with her own ability? However, this is not good, Phantom Bing hesitated slightly. So, she remembered the intoxicated look on Ling Guang's face that day when he told her how beautiful it was, and her heart didn't move, she just felt that she couldn't care so much anymore.

No matter what, she just went to see it secretly once, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

At that time, Phantom Ice didn't know that it was precisely because of an action that she thought would have no consequences, and in the days to come, it was the beginning of all the ups and downs. If Phantom Ice at that time would have foreseen in advance that this willful move would plant the seeds for future disasters, she would definitely not do it again.

But it's a pity that at this time, she didn't know anything about the future......
