Chapter 18: Brother Jieran
As he was talking, the bull-headed demon in front of him suddenly disappeared. Zhao'er immediately became vigilant, and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her, and before she could turn back, her right arm was hit hard by her back arched, and Zhao'er turned over a few somersaults before she stabilized her body and did not fall from the clouds.
He wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and heard the voice of the bull-headed demon from the clouds over there, "I advise the princess not to resist, and go back with me obediently, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again." ”
Zhao'er snorted, stood up, and said, "Go back with you, and then be stripped of your spiritual veins?" I'd rather stay here and suffer a little more. ”
"Hehe, the princess is really ice and snow smart. That's right, your spiritual veins are a great complement to us demons. Now that you know this, and dare to come to the Demon Realm alone, you say, should I admire your courage, or should I thank you for your recklessness? The bull-headed demon approached step by step, and Sen Sen said with a smile.
"In my opinion, you should reflect on your luck." Xiao Zhao'er said calmly.
"The princess is really bold, and she is not forgiving at this time." The bull-headed demon smiled, and the black feather arrow was aimed at Xiao Zhao'er, "Then I'm welcome." Don't worry, princess, I won't take your life, but if you can still make a fuss, it's not easy to bring it back, so I have to let you get hurt a little first, and be honest. ”
Xiao Zhao'er didn't speak, just looked at him with a little mockery.
Before the arrow could be fired, the bull-headed demon suddenly felt a pain in his chest, lowered his head, and saw a sword passing through his chest.
"You, you are ......" Before he could finish speaking, the sword was drawn from his chest without mercy, and the bull-headed demon stared at the bloodshot eyes, fell backwards, and fell straight from the clouds, into the Dead Sea below.
The man sheathed his sword and turned around. His purple pupils, glowing with a cold glass glow in the moonlight, "Luo Luo, I finally found you." ”
"Brother Jieran, why are you here?" Xiao Zhao'er tried to squeeze out the sweetest and biggest smile, looked at him flatteringly and said.
"I went to the Moon Palace, and I knew that you had stolen away to the Demon Realm, so I came to arrest you." Jie Ran glanced at her and said, "The smile is so fake." ”
After coming over to check her injuries and finding that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "I've learned a lesson this time, let's see if you dare to run around alone in the future." ”
Xiao Zhao'er retorted unconvinced, "Why am I running around, I'm here to do business." ”
"It's good if you don't make a mess, and you still get down to business." Jie Ran glanced at her and pulled her arm, "Okay, come back with me." ”
"Don't, I won't leave if I can't find Yuejue." Xiao Zhaoer said stubbornly.
Jie Ran's movements paused, "Do you want to find Yuejue?" ”
Xiao Zhao'er nodded, "I already have news of Yue Jue, and now I can at least be sure that Han Chen and Mu Mo have both obtained Yue Jue, as long as they continue to stare at them, they will definitely be able to get Yue Jue back." ”
Jie Ran frowned slightly, "No, this is too dangerous." What kind of person is Hanchen, and where can you deal with it? You go back first, and leave Yuejue's affairs to me. ”
"But you've only seen Yue Jue, and you can't feel its breath, so it's so difficult to find. Or is it more efficient for me and Fei Hong to do this. As he spoke, he hugged his arm with his backhand, and said coquettishly like when he was a child, "Besides, I'm the moon god." I have grown up and have my own responsibilities and obligations. Brother Jieran, you can't do everything for me like you did when you were a child. ”
Jie Ran was silent, lowered her head and used her mana to heal her injuries, and after her injuries were completely healed, she said, "You really don't want to go back with me?" ”
"Don't go back, resolutely don't go back." Xiao Zhao'er puffed out her cheeks and said firmly.
Jie Ran raised his hand and knocked on her little head, and said helplessly, "You." ”
As he spoke, he took off a necklace with a clear water jade pendant from his neck, leaned over to help Xiao Zhao'er take it, and said, "This is a divine jade from the South China Sea, I have worn it for tens of thousands of years, and this jade has been connected with my spiritual veins." If anything, ask it for help, and I'll be there right away. ”
Xiao Zhao'er looked down, the jade was white, fresh and delicate, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and said with some worry, "Brother Jieran, this piece of jade is very important to you, you lend it to me like this, what if I accidentally break it?" ”
"It's not valuable, it doesn't matter if it breaks." Jie Ran said lightly, helped her straighten her slightly messy collar, and said softly, "Also, it's not for you, it's for you." ”
"Ah, really?" Xiao Zhao'er was a little embarrassed, but she was still very happy, "Brother Jieran, you are the best." Better than my brother to me, Brother Tianshu is not as generous as you, once I took a fancy to his water jade inkstone, he was stingy and refused to give it to me. ”
The corners of Jie Ran's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "You, you still said that you have grown up, in my opinion, you are still an ignorant little girl." ”
Xiao Zhao'er pouted and retorted, "No, people don't know how mature and capable they are now, but you just didn't see it." ”
"Oh? Let's listen to it, how can you be mature and capable? ”
Several people took Jie Ran's cloud car and walked towards the demon world together, on the way, Xiao Zhaoer told Jie Ran all about her experience these days, and was reprimanded by Jie Ran, but he was relieved and knew that she still had some ability to protect herself.
The cloud car drove outside the Demon Palace, and after Jie Ran put them down, he carefully instructed them before leaving.
When Jie Ran left, Fei Hong carefully poked his head out of Xiao Zhao'er's pocket.
"You play hide and seek?" Zhao'er reached out and poked its head, and said with a smile, "Brother Jieran has already found out that you are also there, but he is too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
"He ignored me, and I'm thankful." Fei Hong touched a cold sweat, "I'm really afraid that he will blame me on a whim, princess, and then skewer me with a sword." ”
"Nonsense, Brother Jieran is not such a bloody and violent person."
"Yes, no one in the heavenly realm knows, Si Ming Xingjun is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but you are very fond of the princess." Fei Hong shook his head and joked to Xiao Zhao'er, "Even the Emperor of Heaven is treating Si Ming Xingjun as a quasi-son-in-law now." ”
Xiao Zhao'er grabbed its ears, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll skewer you into a string first!" ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong, princess, let go, we have to hurry up and give an account to the snake queen." Fei Hong said with a wrinkled face as he fluttered his wings.
Xiao Zhao'er snorted, let go of her hand, and the two walked towards Snake Ji's bedroom.
After seeing Snake Queen, Xiao Zhaoer told all about the meeting with Hei Zheng, and when she talked about the way back, she looked at Snake Ji without saying anything.
Snake Hime wondered, "Did something happen on the way back?" ”
"The demon king was worried that Zhao'er was a fake and not a messenger of his wife, so he sent the bull-headed demon to follow Zhao'er. Zhao'er didn't know that the person who was following was a subordinate of the Demon King, and thought that our matter was discovered by Hanchen's people, so he wanted to kill the person who was following him. But after he succeeded, he found out that the man was holding a spiritual bow, and then looked at his black-robed ox face, and then thought that he was the demon world's envoy Niushou Demon. Xiao Zhao'er knelt down and said with sincere fear, "Zhao'er knows that she has made a big mistake, please deal with it, I just hope it won't affect Madame's plan." ”
"The demon king actually sent someone to follow you?" Snake Ji frowned and snorted coldly, "This matter is not your fault. If you want to blame, you can only blame the demon king himself, who is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, and stealing chickens is not a loss of rice. Hmph, this old thing, still this virtuous thing, always only believes in himself, and thinks everyone else is suspicious. ”
"However, if the demon king learns of the death of the bull-headed demon, will he blame Zhao'er?"
"Don't worry, with me protecting you, he doesn't dare to do anything to you. After all, they are responsible for this matter, and the demon king still wants to cooperate with me, and he will not fall out with me just because one of his subordinates died. Snake Ji took a sip of tea and said, and after a while, asked with a hint of suspicion, "Speaking of which, that Niushou Demon is the number one master in the demon world, can you kill him?" ”
