In front of the Auxiliary Star Palace, Mochizuki finally saw the little snow rabbit who had been waiting there for a long time, and lifted her high and spun her in circles, as if she had returned to her childhood.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of returning victoriously, telling how to unlock the Seven Sound Gate in Tucheng Qingyang, how to promote the appearance of the Futu Palace, and finally how to start a big battle with the Ape Red Demon. Here I have to mention Ouyang Xiaoleng's sudden exposure of the demonic nature, forced to have no choice but Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye can only tell Mochizuki and a few teenagers about Li and Rirui, this sad story made them briefly break away from the happy atmosphere just now, but in the end they also promised to keep this secret.

Xia Qiu briefly left everyone to go to Kaiyang Hall to see the stone demon Yanming, only Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng were more concerned, although she tried her best to hide it when she came back, they still noticed the change in her face. But when they asked her what the stone demon Yanming had said to her, she casually concocted a prophecy that she would make an unexpected friend in the Fire City of Chimere.

"Friends? Isn't that me! After listening to her words, Ling Yu pointed to himself while laughing.

"He said that his prophecy was not 100% accurate, so I would have listened to it." Xia Qiu hurriedly smiled stiffly, and echoed along the steps of Ling Yu.

"Yes! They all said that he had divine powers, and I don't think he knew much about important things. Qianqi said dismissively.

"By the way, regarding the array material of Fire City, Muya's side has already achieved results!" Ouyang Hongye suddenly remembered that he had just received the news that the thorns had been transmitted back from the human world in the morning, and interjected.

"What is it?" Ouyang Xiaoleng's attention was temporarily attracted and asked.

"It's likely to be the Fire City Lord Salamander itself, can't you think of it?" Ouyang Hongye said in a low voice.

"Wouldn't it?!" Qianqi and Lingyu sighed in unison.

Just when everyone was still surprised by the array material of the Fire City, Ouyang Yong arranged for everyone to disperse.

"Before we set off for the Fire City of Chi Mir, I, Momiji, and Mochizuki, who had been lurking there for a long time, need to make a careful plan, you have just returned from Qingyang, and you also need to rest and relax."

"Good!" Xia Qiu suddenly replied loudly, startling a few people next to her. Listening to Grandpa Yong's words, she seemed to have finally grasped the life-saving straw, in order to avoid being asked about the prophecy again, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and what she wanted to do now was probably to go home.

"I also want to go back to Ouyang Ancient Mansion, let's go together!" Ouyang Xiaoliang suddenly said to her.

Her heart tightened, and she didn't understand why he wanted to go back to Ouyang Ancient Mansion at this time, and it was at the moment when she didn't want to be alone with him the most. But after thinking about it, it was the place where he had always lived, and I was afraid that he also wanted to go back and relax, so he had to say goodbye to Ouyang Yong and the others, and walked with him towards the Liangsheng Xuanlang.

The memories of Ouyang Xiaoleng's inner demon blood awakening, even after his body fully recovered, were still all preserved, he actually knew that he was just using the demonic nature as a guise to put what he wanted into action, but when everything was restored, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. He didn't know if Xia Qiu's trance at this time was because of his previous recklessness, and he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be alone to apologize to her.

On this day, the Xuanlang of the Two Lives was surprisingly quiet, Ouyang Xiaoleng rarely slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Xia Qiu, and the Manzhu Sawa sisters did not immediately jump out to greet their favorite beautiful boy as before.

When they were about to walk into the maze, Ouyang Xiaoleng stopped and asked, "How is the wound on the neck?" ”

"After the undead of the ape red demon disappeared, the bleeding stopped, and the bell applied the ointment again, and there was nothing to do." Xia Qiu said and subconsciously blocked the wound on his neck with his hand.

"Let me see!" Ouyang Xiaoleng grabbed her shoulders and turned her around, then moved her hand away, there were two obvious rows of imprints around the red scar left by the Heavenly Death Sword, he knew that she must have deliberately blocked it because she was afraid that she would see it, and asked distressedly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"No!" Xia Qiu shook her head and replied, for some reason, her panicked heart that had been terrified since hearing the prophecy of her death disappeared the moment he put the weight of his hands on her shoulders, as if she could finally come out and breathe freely after being submerged in the water for a long time.

"Actually, I've been hiding it before, it's not the first time I've felt the urge to drink your blood, the first time we met when I was six years old was because I felt the same way, and the reason why I avoided you after I was seriously injured by Yaksha was because when I was weak, I couldn't resist wanting to drink your blood as soon as you approached me. At that time, I didn't know that I had the demonic nature of a flower demon in my body, but I just felt that I had become very terrifying, and I was worried that it would hurt you, so I ......" Ouyang Xiaoleng told Xia Qiu all the secrets that he was unwilling to tell before, and he also felt relieved.

"It's not because they're starting to hate me." Xia Qiu suddenly smiled when she heard his words, and the knot that had been bothering them for a long time was finally untied.

"Of course not." Ouyang Xiaoleng hurriedly denied it.

Xia Qiu said goodbye to Ouyang Xiaoleng in front of the house, pushed open the small low door of the yard, and the spring flowers, hyacinths and moon seasons planted by her grandfather under the sunset all opened during the time she was gone. When she got home, her grandparents saw her as if she had just finished school, and although dinner was not ready, the dishes and chopsticks were already on the table, and her cutlery was there.

After taking a hot bath, she sat at the dining table and chatted with her grandfather and grandmother, telling them interesting stories that happened at the cultural festival some time ago, which amused them, and she tried not to think that this might be one of the few happy moments she had with her family, and just wanted to behave naturally in front of them.

She felt that she hadn't been so laid-back in a long time, and after dinner she dialed her father's phone, his voice was a little unfamiliar, but it still warmed her. She wondered if she should leave some words to retrace her short, dramatic life, but then she thought it was a bit ridiculous, she didn't want to let herself get into that emotional cycle.

Should she fully believe the words of the stone demon? Even he himself said that his predictions might not be 100% accurate, so why should she be so mediocre. She also tried her best to convince herself that she was like those heroes who wanted to save the world, righteous and fearless, but unfortunately, although she had been close to death countless times, it still made her feel timid when others predicted that death was waiting for her not far ahead, especially when the contradictions in her heart could not be shared with anyone, and the feeling of isolation and helplessness was like returning to the moment when all the light was taken away by the ape red devil.

She was just an ordinary human after all, and no one would blame her if she flinched or refused. For a brief moment, she began to waver, and then she became at a loss, taking out the textbook that she hadn't read for a long time and turning a few pages, then taking out the seasonal clothes from the closet and putting them back on again, and waiting for sleepiness to hit in bed but couldn't sleep......

Suddenly, the text message prompt sounded next to the bed, and the mobile phone had already run out of battery during her absence, and it was automatically turned on after she had just charged it, and when she picked it up, it turned out to be sent by Ouyang Xiaoleng.

"Going out for a walk tomorrow?"

She replied quickly.

"Good. ：）”

For some reason, it was just a simple text message, and she suddenly recalled the feeling of him putting his hands on her shoulders, and her restless emotions instantly calmed down. She thought that since her future was unpredictable, she might as well treat every next meeting as if it were the last meeting, and do what she had always wanted to do with him.

She finally fell asleep peacefully, and in her dreams she saw the plum blade again, and she stood under the plum tree that often appeared in her dreams, as if waiting for her arrival.

"Plum Blade!" Xia Qiu stepped on the fog and walked towards her.

"Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" From behind the mask came the sound of the plum blade.

"You also heard what the stone demon said, right?" Xia Qiu probably guessed what Mei Jian wanted to say to herself, so she asked.

"Yes." Mei Blade gently lowered his head and knelt down on one knee, and continued, "I know that you have made up your mind, and it is inconvenient to say anything more, but please rest assured, Plum Blade will definitely protect you until the last moment!" ”

Xia Qiu stretched out his hand to help Mei Jian up, and said to her with gratitude in his heart: "Thank you, although I don't know what awaits us in Chi Mir, I will be brave!" ”

The rest of the night was dreamless, she slept deeply, and when she woke up the next morning, she was a little unaccustomed to the ceiling of her room. The weather wasn't particularly warm, but she chose a plaid skirt and pumps for the appointment.

She didn't let him wait for her at the door of the house as usual, but made an appointment to meet in the shopping street, just like ordinary couples. From a distance, I saw him standing tall and thin under the billboard, as if he had specially cut his hair, and the army green overalls he was wearing looked particularly energetic. Seeing her coming, although she still had no expression, she waved her hand rarely, but her movements were stunned, and there was a little bit of cuteness, which made her laugh.

He deliberately wanted to take her out for a walk because he saw that she was not energetic, but he couldn't pay attention to what to do after meeting, so he only walked aimlessly with her on the street.

"Come with me to ice cream!" As she spoke, she grabbed his hand and dragged him in the direction of the mall, where there was an ice cream parlor she used to go to with Liu Lingmei in the summer, and although it seemed a little early to eat ice cream this season, she just wanted to be willful.

"What do you want to eat?" I'll buy it all for you! Standing in front of the counter in the ice cream parlor, Ouyang Xiaoleng said.

"Strawberries, chocolate, vanilla!" Xia Qiu replied with a smile. For her, this may be the most romantic thing Ouyang Xiaoleng has ever said, and every word seems to be sweet to her heart.

After both of them had eaten countless scoops of ice cream, Ouyang Xiaoleng asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I want to play video games!" Xia Qiu replied without thinking.

"Hmm!" Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded in response, and then led her to take the elevator to the amusement city upstairs.

They played racing together, and then played the House of Death, no matter what the game, Xia Qiu was not Ouyang Xiaoleng's opponent, obviously the fox's reflexes were much stronger than people. Especially in that shooting game, he even broke the record and won countless game coins.

In the end, they played the game of catching dolls, and there happened to be a machine with a little fox's doll, and Xia Qiu asked Ouyang Xiaoleng to catch one for her no matter what. He tried many times without success, and finally impatiently used his demonic power to shake out a plug for her.

Looking at his angry face, she reached out and stroked his hair as if she were stroking a small animal. His temperature came from his fingers, and happiness seemed to be frozen in this moment.
