Chapter 293: Flame Demon
The lion's face trotted in to report, and soon walked out, but when he came out, the skin on his face twitched, and he was somewhat embarrassed.
I didn't wait for him to speak, I knew the result, it seems that this fire demon is also a guy with a full shelf.
"I'm sorry, son, the master said, he's very busy today, and he really can't meet guests, so let's ...... another day."
I had expected this situation for a long time, after all, he was the patriarch of a large family, and he was an unknown junior of unknown origin.
Still, I think, the Flame Demon will always see me. I smiled faintly, took out the hairpin that Chen Yueru gave me, and then handed it to the lion face, and said, "Just ask you to report it again and give this hairpin to Lord Flame Demon, he will naturally meet us when he sees this hairpin." ”
The lion's face was a little embarrassed, but they had just accepted my money, which was the so-called taking money from others and running away for others, so in the end they had to say, "Okay, I'll ask again." ”
A lion-faced walked in, and the other was still guarding the door.
Li Youlan waited a little impatiently, and couldn't help muttering: "This fire demon is such a big shelf!" ”
I smiled faintly and said, "After all, the family is the head of the family, and it is indispensable to manage the family, and this is enough for him to be busy." ”
After waiting for a quarter of an hour or so, the lion's face came out with a smile on his face.
As soon as I looked at his face, I knew the result.
Li Youlan asked anxiously: "What?" ”
The lion-faced said, "Come with me, two." ”
Li Youlan and I looked at each other, nodded, and then followed the lion face inside.
This Yantian Mansion is really grand, worthy of being the mansion of one of the three major families in the evil capital, and along the way, there are houses full of dragons and tiles; lacquered gold carved walls; Rows of flowers, red, yellow, green...... Mix; Even the floor under your feet is intricately carved with fire patterns.
This is not like a mansion in the ghost domain, but more like a landscape garden in the world, which not only has the delicacy of Suzhou gardens, but also does not lose the atmosphere of northern architecture.
All the way deeper, the lion face led us straight to the living room.
The huge living room, with seven or eight large vermilion lacquered mahogany pillars, chairs and tables, is actually the appearance of ancient times, as soon as I enter here, I haven't seen what the fire demon looks like, and I feel that I have traveled to ancient times.
"You're here."
The voice, calm, but with a majestic oppression, was like a windless sea, a huge mountain.
I followed the prestige, only to see a red-haired and golden-faced man sitting on a lacquered gold chair carved with a flying dragon swallowing the sun, one of his hands was holding the dragon head of the armrest, carefully caressing the ball in the dragon's mouth, and the other hand was playing with the Chang'e moon-running hairpin of Chen Yueru, his eyes, like the eyes of a dragon, calm, hidden, exuding inexplicable oppression...... Those two eyes were two sharp swords against my neck.
Li Youlan and I didn't speak, just stood like this, looking at him, or rather, stunned.
Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Flame Clan actually looked like a human, perhaps as a result of cultivation, but, for some reason, my intuition told me that he had everything about a person, a human body, a human desire, a human ambition, and a human greed......
We're waiting for him to speak.
The fire demon also looked at us, and we looked at each other like this, and after a long time, he moved the reddish-brown beard on his lips, smiled, and said, "What is the matter with you looking for me?" As he spoke, he changed his hand to play with the hairpin, and before we could answer, he asked, "Where did you get this hairpin?" ”
The first question can't be answered in a hurry, especially in front of people like Yan Demon, anyway, when the water comes to fruition, we will naturally tell him about the Heavenly Spirit Purple Stone, and I only answered the second question: "It was given to me by Miss Chen Yueru Chen." ”
The Flame Demon had always been calm, and there was not too much expression on his face, but when he heard the words "Chen Yueru", his two dark eyes vibrated slightly like a balloon that had been gently flicked by someone's fingers.
"Chen Yueru, Chen Yueru, such a distant name, just like the ...... in the world" Yan Demon suddenly said lightly, but his eyes had already shifted to the hairpin, it seemed that he remembered something.
I asked, "Lord Flame Demon also knows the human world?" ”
Actually, it is not surprising that he knows the human world, after all, he is the patriarch of a big clan, and he must have seen a lot at that time, and Chen Yueru was originally a human being, he and Chen Yueru knew each other, I am afraid that he knew some about the human world.
The Fire Demon didn't answer my question, but just asked, "You're a human from the human world, aren't you?" ”
I don't know his intention to ask this question suddenly, and I can't figure it out, the person in front of me is too deeply hidden, and trying to figure out his intention is like looking for a needle that has fallen to the ground in the dark night, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Seeing that I didn't answer, he said, "You don't have the breath of a demon, and there is a shadow on the ground, so it's definitely not a ghost. ”
I was stunned for a moment, indeed, the people in the ghost domain are the meat on the chopping board, and they can only be slaughtered by others, and they have no power to fight back.
I said, "Now that Lord Flame Demon has seen it, there's nothing to say, yes, I'm a human from the human world." ”
The Flame Demon curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Interesting, interesting." ”
Instead, he glanced at Li Youlan up and down, and said, "This girl is more interesting." ”
Li Youlan smiled and said, "I think you're boring." ”
As soon as I heard Li Youlan say this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I sweated in my heart, when I came here, I have always been step by step, and I don't want to make mistakes. After all, we are asking for help. However, Li Youlan suddenly came like this, if the Yan Demon was angry, I am afraid that this matter would have to be messed up.
Flame Demon said, "Oh? "Where am I bored?" "Don't be angry.
Li Youlan said: "You are bored all over your body, first of all, your hands are very boring, so boring that you can only fiddle with the hairpin and touch the armrest of the chair to pass the time, and then your eyes are very boring, only boring eyes will have no emotion at all, and then your mouth is very boring, only a boring mouth will ask such boring questions." ”
I heard Li Youlan say this, I was flustered, and I wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and I was about to apologize to Yan Mo, after all, Li Youlan's words were very impolite, but at this time, Yan Mo smiled slightly, and smiled very sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
He didn't get angry at Li Youlan's offense, and only said, "You are very similar to her." ”
Then he said: "This hairpin is given to her by me, once I promised her that as long as someone comes to see me with this hairpin one day, I will definitely meet a request from that person, I have been waiting, thinking that one day she will change her mind and come back to beg me, but I did not expect that the person waiting for her is not her, but you." Say, what do you want? ”
It seems that the fire demon really wants to help us, or rather, he doesn't want to break his trust, he just wants to help the person who came to the door with a hairpin.
I know that this is the time to make my request.
I said, "Heavenly Spirit Purple Stone." ”
But what he didn't expect was that when Yan Demon heard these four words, his smiling expression immediately sank and hardened, like a cement slurry mixed with water that had been air-dried.
