The formation of Kijo Xizhen can be described as a legend. A small snake escaped to a small tree when it was being chased, and has been attached to the tree ever since.

The oak tree in the human world can grow up to twenty or thirty meters, but the white oak tree in the wooden city Xizhen is more than fifty meters high, but this is thousands of years later, and the little snake is already the size of a dragon. The little snake grew into a giant snake and had its own city, and no one dared to bully it, and the little tree that once served as its umbrella became the object of its protection.

Hearing that the material arrayed in the wooden city analyzed by Dong Muya was most likely the coffin of the city lord Xi Zhen, the two elders of the demon realm felt a little sorry. They had the privilege of meeting this mysterious city lord once, and it was really a great monster with peerless elegance, with cloudy sideburns and phoenix eyes, a face like goose eggs, and hair combed high in the style of a man, revealing the beauty tip on his forehead. Although she has unparalleled beauty, she does not love red clothes and loves arms, she is always dressed in men's clothes, she will put on armor when she leaves the palace, and as the lord of the city, she does not take a sedan chair or a car, but drives a demon horse alone.

Both men and women are attracted by her beauty and temperament, but strangely, although countless youkai have traveled thousands of miles to Kijo to woo her, she has never been in love with any of them. This, combined with her reluctance to socialize with people and the prohibition of outsiders from entering the city for more than three days, has led her to be labelled a quirk.

In the Yuheng Hall of Chenji Palace, Xia Qiu joined Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi and prepared to go to Mucheng Xizhen together. Originally, Xizhen's trip was not going to let Que'er go with her, because she had just arrived here after all, and her identity was not very clear, but he still followed.

In fact, Ling Yu didn't want to get involved in the struggle between them and Qingyun again, because of impulsiveness before, he was carried away by righteous anger, and as a result, he lost the dungeon Elysium This place to stay, this time he finally came to the royal city and settled in Chenji Palace, he didn't want to make the same mistake again. But when he thought that if he didn't go, it would be tantamount to giving up the opportunity to get along with Ouyang Xiaoleng to Xia Qiu, and after weighing it, he still decided to go with them.

Mucheng Xizhen is in the easternmost part of the demon world, and he happens to pass through Dongyao on the way, so several teenagers plan to settle in Dongyao halfway. Xia Qiu had never been to Dongyao before, but he had heard Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi mention it. The Tang Dynasty-style buildings and the dreamy Amber Dragon Palace, as well as the eternal love affair between the Amber Dragon King and his wife, have long made her heart full of expectations.

This time, before setting off, Ouyang Xiaoleng sent the stone demon Yanming to guide the finch to the demon horse forest to find his own demon horse, which was a small but sturdy gray demon horse.

"Are you sure it's a horse? How does it look a bit like a donkey? Qianqi quipped that he had been hostile to Xia Qiu since she called her an ugly girl in the dungeon, and that he had finally found an opportunity to tease her.

Although Ling Yu was angry in his heart, he still pretended to be delicate on the surface, and said: "I think my little gray is very cute, what do you say, Brother Demon King?" ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng glanced at him, and then rode his demon horse forward noncommittally.

Xia Qiu felt that Xiao Ash looked very aura, especially those eyes, which were very similar to those of the finch, so he said slightly: "It's about the same size as my verdant, just right for you!" ”

Ling Yu could see that she was praising his little ash from the bottom of her heart, but she still responded to her with a little arrogance: "Hmph, my little ash must be faster than your verdant!" Then he chased after Ouyang Xiaoleng.

Although Xiao Gray is not as fast as a few demon horses, his endurance is amazing, and his personality is also a little naughty, often he will suddenly slow down in the middle of running, or change direction to cause trouble for other demon horses, Ling Yu is more sure why it chooses himself, it really has many similarities with him.

They successfully arrived at the ferry outside Dongyao City, and Sanmu personally came to greet them, and the small ferry boat slowly sailed into Dongyao City in the green water. After the ship docked at the dock, the mermaids who had seen Ouyang Xiaoleng as the welcome secretary the last time they came were already waiting there.

When the two mermaid greeters saw Qianqi, they almost half-squatted and half-knelt to meet him, and when they reached the side of the boat, they stretched out their hands to help him ashore, but they were pushed away by Qiancai.

"Young Master...... You're back! ”

After everyone went ashore, the mermaid who called the carp at the beginning was so excited that he said half crying and half singing.

"Didn't I just leave?" Qianqi looked at the others and reminded him in an embarrassed whisper.

"The old minister knows his mistake, blame me for being too excited to see the young master! Demon King Fox, young master, please get in the car! As he spoke, the carp politely invited everyone into the cart pulled by the jade-scaled horned beast.

According to the original plan, several teenagers will rest here for the night, and the most interested in the lively scene on the street outside the window are Xia Qiu and Lingyu. Although the streets of Dongyao are not as wide as those of Yongchuan, it is precisely because of this that the commercial streets here are more bustling and noisy, and the shops sell all kinds of novelty and gadgets, which is dizzying.

Before Xia Qiu had seen enough, the car had already arrived in front of the Amber Dragon Palace. This palace is indeed like a dew dripping on a lotus leaf, and like a pearl embedded in the jade. The Amber Dragon King stood in front of the main entrance of the palace waiting for the arrival of the demon king fox Ouyang Xiaoleng, and when the car carrying several teenagers stopped in front of him, he and the demon servants around him saluted deeply at the same time.

They were invited into the palace, and walked down the stairs to the legendary dragon palace at the bottom of the lake, where the water of the lake isolated by demons rippled outside the corridor, causing bursts of waves, and various fish swam in the water from time to time. Ling Yu snuggled up to Ouyang Xiaoleng tightly, not giving anyone a chance to get close to him until they took their seats in the main hall of the Amber Dragon Palace.

The demon servant brought hot tea and fruit to relieve the fatigue of the boys, and the Amber Dragon King sat on his throne and had a good conversation with several teenagers. He paid special attention to the human girl, Xia Qiu, because Chiki had mentioned her to him more than once, and as a father, he could easily feel his son's affection for her.

This human girl has a different temperament, she is always smiling, her eyes are clear, although she is slender but not weak, as a human being, the strength in her bones is pitiful, and he finally understands why his son likes her.

"Father, have you ever heard about the Blue Snake Xizhen, the city lord of Mucheng?" Chiki remembered that he had never heard his father talk about the lord of the castle before, and that it was a good time to ask him.

"She invited me to Mucheng once, and I had a brief contact with her!" The Amber Dragon King thought for a moment and replied, after all, it was a long time ago.

What kind of person is she? It's hard to find any account of her everywhere! Qianqi continued to ask.

"She can be described as a heroine among women, although she is a woman, she manages the entire city in an orderly manner, and with her strength, Mucheng Xizhen has been stable and peaceful for thousands of years!" The Amber Dragon King's eyes showed admiration.

Before they could talk for a while, the banquet had already begun, and in order to give the teenagers more time to rest, the merfolk did not arrange for them to perform songs and dances, but only asked them to help toast. Jade Cicada begged the mermaid in charge of the song and dance division for permission to send her for a long time, and she jumped to the main hall like a bird with the plate in the wine pot and glass, and the joy in her heart was overflowing, and she finally had the opportunity to meet the young Ouyang Xiaoleng who she had been thinking about for a long time, how could she not be happy.

Coming to the Amber Dragon Palace again, Ouyang Xiaoleng was suddenly brought back to the scene of his first time here by the memory, when watching the mermaid dancer perform, he actually had the illusion that she was also in it because he missed Xia Qiu, and then remembered that he was a little shy.

He looked at Xia Qiu through the spirit feather and saw her holding a wine glass and listening carefully to what the Amber Dragon King said. It had been a long time since he had looked at her face so closely, but it wasn't because he was angry with her or anything, maybe it was the thought of wanting to suck her blood when he was seriously injured and weak, that made him estranged from her, consciously or unconsciously. And when he looked at her so quietly again, his whole heart felt like it was about to melt.

The jade cicada always surrounded Ouyang Xiaoleng and poured wine for him, but found that his gaze never stayed on him for a moment, he just looked at the other side blankly. She couldn't guess if he was looking at the finch or Xia Qiu, but she felt that his gaze was full of tenderness that had never been shown to her.

After a full meal, everyone was ushered to the guest room to rest. After bathing in summer and autumn, she still thought about going to the promenade to see the view of the lake bottom that was close at hand, and she stretched out her hand to reach through the water of the lake blocked by the barrier. The lake is particularly cold in winter, but it also feels more watery, and once you put your hand in it, you don't want to take it out again.

It was at this moment that the finch appeared beside her. In fact, Ling Yu wanted to find Ouyang Xiaoleng, but he ran into Xia Qiu on the corridor, and he had to stop.

Xia Qiu felt that this was a good time to figure out the doubts in his heart, so he turned back to him and said, "I don't know what kind of hardship you have, and I don't know if it's appropriate for me to ask you like this, but I already know you...... Actually, it's not a girl! ”

Lingyu stared at her with wide eyes, like looking at a monster, he thought that he didn't show his feet in front of her, and why would she guess. He suspected that she might be lying to herself, so he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What do you say?" I don't quite understand! ”

"First of all, I have to say sorry to you. I have a special ability called soul detachment, which means that my soul will leave my body from time to time and act alone, and so far I have not been able to fully control this ability. I shouldn't have meant to snoop into your secrets, but I inadvertently saw the fact that you're a boy! Xia Qiu said calmly, she felt that since she wanted him to solve the doubts in his heart, she shouldn't hide it from him.

"Have you already told the others?" Ling Yu asked.

"No, I think you must have something to worry about, so I shouldn't have to explain it to everyone." Xia Qiu looked directly into his gaze and said word by word.

"Now that you know my true identity, isn't this your best chance? Didn't you find out about my intentions against Ouyang Xiaoleng? If you don't eradicate me as a competitor now, what are you waiting for? "Ling Yu had a hard time understanding the way of thinking of the human girl in front of her.

"I think everyone probably has a side that they don't want others to know. And I don't want to use my words and deeds to influence Xiao Leng's choice, even if he chooses you instead of me, I can only bless him! ”

Hearing Xia Qiu's categorical answer, Ling Yu was still in disbelief and asked, "Blessings?" I don't believe that human beings can have such a mind! ”

"This doesn't mean that I have a big heart, it's simply because of my feelings for him, as a signatory of his blood alliance, I want to be his pillar, and for that I have to support him in all his decisions!"

Xia Qiu's words had an unprecedented impact on Ling Yu, because he understood the girl's feelings, so he understood how much the girl in front of him liked the new master of the demon world. Her feelings for him have reached a level of selflessness, for the first time, he was no longer jealous of this girl, but began to envy Ouyang Xiaoleng, why has no one ever liked him like this.

"I'll find a chance to tell the truth!" After a moment of silence, Ling Yu said, and then reported his real name to Xia Qiu: "I'm actually called Ling Yu!" ”

"Lingyu, what a good name, it's more suitable for you than a finch!" Xia Qiu smiled relievedly, and then looked at the lake again.
