Tianshu said calmly, "Don't act rashly yet. In this way, after you go back, call Meng Yi and Lang Chuan over to see me, there are some things that I have to discuss with them before deciding. ”

Luo Yao nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll tell them when I go back." ”

The brother and sister talked for a while, and the guards of the mountain prison urged, and Luo Yao reluctantly followed him away.

After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Luo Yao was a little depressed, and sent someone to Meng Yi and Lang Chuan to spread the word, and then returned to the inner hall to change clothes. Fei Hong flew in after her.

"Princess, there's one thing." Feihong said, "After you left, the people from the Moon Palace sent a message of worship, saying that they wanted to come and ask to see tomorrow. ”

"Who's coming?" Luo Yao asked as he belted.

"It's Snake Queen," Fei Hong said, "the post said, Princess, she remembered something about the last time you asked her to reminisce. ”

Luo Yao's hand in arranging his collar paused, turned around, and asked with burning eyes, "Who did she remember who that person was?" ”

"No, it seems to be just a vague reminder of some of the man's details." Fei Hong said with some regret.

"Oh," Luo Yao pursed her lips and asked, "when did she say she would come tomorrow?" ”

"It's noon."

Luo Yao nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

But on the second day, Luo Yao waited until the sun set, and he didn't see the shadow of the snake queen.

"Princess, don't worry, she may have been delayed by something." Feihong saw that Luo Yao was waiting anxiously, and persuaded on the side.

"The Moon Palace is not far from here, even if it is delayed, it will not be delayed for a while." Luo Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he turned his head and instructed Feihong, "You take someone to look for it, don't have any accidents on the road." ”

"Yes." Fei Hong took the order, picked a few guards, and went to find people along the way.

In the middle of the night, Fei Hong rushed back with someone with an ugly expression on his face.

Luo Yao pretended to have something in his heart, and he didn't sleep at this time, he was lying on the table, waiting for their news. At this time, when he saw Feihong coming back, he looked like he wanted to speak in front of her, and wondered, "Why are you the only one who is back, Snake Ji and her?" ”

"Princess, the snake queen is dead." Fei Hong said hesitantly.

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Luo Yao jumped up in shock, "What's the matter?" Wasn't it okay the first two days? ”

"Snake Ji was killed after leaving the Moon Palace. When we found her, her body had been dumped on the side of the road, already gnawed by crows and bats. Although Feihong doesn't like Snake Ji, after all, they have been together for a while, and when they think of that tragic situation, they still feel related.

Luo Yao's eyebrows tightened, and after a while, he asked, "How did she die?" ”

"Stab wounds. He was stabbed in the chest and died of blood loss. After Fei Hong finished speaking, he was a little puzzled, "But it's strange to say, Snake Ji has only been in the God Realm for a short time, and she has been staying in the Moon Palace, and she doesn't know anyone at all, let alone make enemies with people." Who wanted her life? Could it be someone from the Demon Realm? ”

Luo Yao didn't think so, and said, "Snake Ji has let go of her ambitions, and she is not a threat to the demon people, and she has no use value. They can't go all the way to the divine realm to kill people. ”

"I'm afraid it will be killed." Luo Yao's eyes were calm, but he blamed himself a little, and said, "Perhaps, I caused her trouble." ”

Fei Hong understood, "Is it because of Yuejue?" But then he was a little puzzled, "Only a few of us know about this matter, and it stands to reason that it won't be leaked out." ”

Luo Yao suddenly remembered that night, Jie Ran was at the door and heard the conversation between her and Snake Ji......

She shook her head and chased away the unthinkable thought.

"Feihong, you go and check carefully to see if there are any suspicious people in our palace." Luo Yao instructed, "Not only in our palace, but also in the Moon Palace, we must also carefully investigate one by one." Rather than suspect Jie Ran, she would rather believe that there was a spy in her palace.

"Yes, I'll go."

After Feihong left, Luo Yao sat alone in the lamp and pondered, but his heart became more and more chaotic.

The more I tried to curb that thought, the stronger it became.

Could it be, really, he ......

Luo Yao closed his eyes, not daring to think about it anymore.

On the second day, Luo Yao set off to return to the Moon Palace to attend the funeral of the snake queen.

Both the civet and the dew were crying sadly, and Fei Hong also shed a few tears. Tianhe Immortal Jun didn't say a word, only sighed silently on the side.

Luo Yao walked to the coffin with heavy steps, looked at the bloody corpse inside, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw the snake queen.

That day in the restaurant, she and Liyang walked side by side, their blue hair hanging down to their waists, like waves and waves. Her eyes rippled and her face was charming, like a Manzhu Sawa on Huangquan Road, charming and dangerous.

Luo Yao's eyes slowly moistened, and a crystal teardrop dripped onto the transparent coffin.

A hand suddenly stretched out next to her, holding a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Luo Yao turned his head, and in the haze of tears, he saw Jieran standing beside her, staring down at her.

"Why are you here?" Luo Yao asked.

Jie Ran said, "I went out to do some business, and I happened to pass by the Moon Palace, and I heard that something was wrong, so I thought I would come in and see you." ”

Luo Yao let out an "oh", lowered his head, and looked at the snake in the coffin.

Jie Ran only glanced at the people inside, then looked away, and persuaded Luo Yao softly, "Forget it after worshipping, your body has not fully recovered, go back to the palace to rest early." This corpse decomposes like this, watch it for a long time, beware of nightmares at night. ”

Luo Yao still stood in front of the coffin, not moving, and said softly, "She is my friend, even if she is rotten and only a handful of white bones are left, I will not be afraid." Besides, "

She raised her head, looked into Jie Ran's eyes, and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, how could I have nightmares at night?" ”

Jie Ran heard that there was something in her words, frowned slightly, but did not poke it, and followed her words, "That's good, after sending her on the last trip, you can go back early, don't let me worry." ”

He also instructed Fei Hong to take care of Luo Yao, and then said to Luo Yao, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Luo Yao nodded, watching his back leave, his eyebrows gradually locked.

Fei Hongpu flapped his wings and flew over, and asked her in a low voice, "Princess, do you really doubt Si Ming Xingjun?" ”

Luo Yao was silent, and after a while, he said, "I don't know either." ”

I wanted to test him just now, but I didn't expect him to accept at all. I don't know if it's really innocent, or if it's intentional evasion.

Luo Yao walked out of the mourning hall, took a deep breath, looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly.

In just a few months, she has come to understand what it means to be 'things are not people'.

Since then, there is no one around her who can be relied on at ease, and even the people who were once closest to her have gradually begun to become strangers.

A cold wind blew, Luo Yao couldn't help but shiver, and wrapped the velvet on his body tighter.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's the annual Shangyuan Festival in the divine realm.

Shangyuan Festival is a big festival of the gods, and it is similar to the streamer day of the demons. On this day, the gods and people will hold lantern exhibitions and temple fairs. In the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor of Heaven will also set up a banquet to entertain the immortals according to the custom.

Shangyuan Festival is also an important day for the girls of the Protoss. The Protoss is strict by nature and advocates self-denial and abstinence. On weekdays, even if the little fairies have a sweetheart, they don't dare to rush up directly to confess. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, the unmarried boys and girls of the Protoss can have a day of freedom, and they can go to the Rakshasa beach according to their own hearts and confess to the people they like. If it is accepted by the confessing party, then the two can go to the old man to register their marriage. So a day or two after the Shangyuan Festival, Yue Lao was often so busy that he couldn't even eat.

But this year, looking at the maids around her who were overflowing with girls' hearts, Luo Yao couldn't mention any interest at all.

Yayu was still teasing her on the side, "Look at the little girls around you, they are all ready to move, why are you not gregarious at all?" ”

Luo Yao took a sip of tea and said quietly, "Probably I'm old." ”

Yayu squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Luo Yao looked at him with disgust, "Did you come to me to tease me?" ”

"Of course not," Yayu wiped her mouth and said, "I'm on business." ”

In fact, on the eve of the Shangyuan Festival, there was a major event in the divine realm.

The Emperor of Heaven is dead, the original heir Tianshu has been convicted and imprisoned again, and the dragons of the Celestial Clan have no leader. Although there are three clear agents in the affairs of the heavenly court, it can't always be like this, and after all, it is the right way to elect a new heavenly emperor to lead the god race.

Luo Yao and Yayu, although they are also qualified to inherit, they are too young to be the best candidates to be the Emperor of Heaven.

In the heavenly court, the most qualified to succeed the emperor of heaven is none other than the four emperors, the three qings, and the twelve star monarchs.

Among the four emperors, the Emperor of Heaven and the Arctic Ziwei Emperor have died, and the Antarctic Immortal Emperor is sick and recuperating again, avoiding guests, and the only thing left is the Queen Mother of the West. And the Queen Mother of the West has been living in seclusion for many years, and usually only occasionally takes care of trivial matters such as etiquette and music, and is resolutely unwilling to worry about major matters.

As for Sanqing, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun have always liked to be lazy and are not interested in the position of Emperor of Heaven. Lingbao Tianzun is introverted by nature, he doesn't like to join in the fun, and he is even more reluctant to bear this burden.

So the rest is only the Twelve Star King.

Among the Twelve Star Monarchs, the prestige of the Descending Star Monarch Tianshu and the Destiny Star Monarch Jieran is the highest. If the pivot is not here today, Jie Ran will be expected to return and become the next candidate for the next emperor recognized by everyone.

Above the court, all the immortals wrote one after another, asking Lisi to order Xingjun Jieran to be the next emperor of heaven.

Sanqing asked Jie Ran's opinion.

No one expected that under the watchful eye, Jie Ran would refuse.

Jie Ran said humbly, "I don't have royal blood, my virtue is not outstanding, and my mana is not the highest, so I really don't dare to occupy a high position, and I am even more afraid that I will be entrusted by my colleagues." ”

The Mighty Star Monarch praised him vigorously in the Heavenly Court, and the Southern Dipper Star Monarch and the Elf King Qiu Ye also added fuel to the fire. The immortals were fooled by their singing and harmony, and they were all moved by Jie Ran's quality, and resolutely supported him as the Emperor of Heaven.

In the end, Jie Ran couldn't stand everyone's requests, so he had to reluctantly agree, accept the title of Emperor Wenchang, and act as the Emperor of Heaven.
