Ever since he met Xia Qiu, her appearance had been lingering in Qianqi's mind, causing him to lose sleep on the first night after arriving at Wangcheng Yongchuan.

He kept thinking about what to do to see that human girl again, according to Ouyang Hongye, she was Ouyang Xiaoleng's blood alliance contractor, and he had also heard his father mention that the demon king fox and the person who signed the blood alliance with him had a strong bond, so he became more and more envious of Ouyang Xiaoleng, and the envy at this moment was even greater than the envy he had when he heard that Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was the same age as him, was very likely to become the lord of the demon world.

The next day, Ouyang Yong summoned everyone to the Auxiliary Star Hall to discuss the matter of the Demon King's election conference, in such a boring occasion in ordinary times, Qian Qi couldn't stay still for a long time, but today he was much more stable because Xia Qiu was there.

After the procedures and details of the election conference were basically decided, Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye planned to prepare separately. As soon as the snow rabbit heard that Ouyang Xiaoleng and they had returned to the royal city, he came to the Auxiliary Star Hall to wait, but seeing that everyone was busy with their own affairs, they had to return disappointed.

Ouyang Hongye instructed before leaving the Auxiliary Star Palace: "Xiao Leng, it's rare that it's still early today, you can lead Qianqi and Xia Qiu around the shopping street on my behalf, by the way, go to Wutong Garden and call the snow rabbit too!" ”

"Good!"

Although Ouyang Xiaoleng felt troublesome, he also understood the courtesy of hospitality, so he had to reluctantly respond. Because Wutong Garden and the shopping street happen to be in different directions, he, Qianqi and Xia Qiu temporarily bid farewell in front of the gate of Chenji Palace to find the snow rabbit alone.

Xia Qiu was a little embarrassed and walked towards the shopping street with Qianqi one after the other, although the young man in front of him had only been in Wangcheng for a day, he was obviously more familiar with this place than her, and from time to time told her what the shops on the side of the road were doing. Because it was afternoon, the shopping street was obviously much more lively than when she came before, and there were many different types of monsters besides the two of them. The colorful paper lanterns hanging all over the street are full of dreamy atmosphere, and they shuttle among the monsters, attracting countless surprised glances.

"It's human."

"A human girl."

"Come and see, it's human."

Their whispers kept coming to Xia Qiu, as if they were about to engulf her, and her palms became a little cold because of this, but they were suddenly held by Qianqi. He pulled her forward briskly, and as he passed a shop selling masks, he led her inside. In front of several walls in the store, there are shelves full of various masks, and the boss is a one-eyed monster with horns, and he stares up and down Xia Qiu curiously, which causes the displeasure of Qianqi.

"Look, I'm going to choose a mask for this girl." Qianqi shouted at the monster, his tone carrying his pride as the crown prince of the dragon king. Then he let go of Xia Qiu's hand, held his chin, looked up and down at the masks in front of him and thought for a long time, and finally took off a golden cat face mask and measured it in front of Xia Qiu's face, and then turned to the one-eyed monster boss, "That's it!" ”

The boss looked at the hairy boy in front of him with some disdain, and said with his three-inch incorruptible tongue: "This mask is made of metal mined from Hidden Song, and you know how many years it has been abandoned, so there are only a few stocks on the market, and it is very precious!" And my shop only accepts gold and silver. ”

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Qianqi took out a delicate money bag from his arms, casually took a gold ingot in it and threw it to him and asked, "Are these enough?" ”

The gold ingot flicked a few times in the boss's hand and almost fell to the ground, and after finally holding it steady, he sighed, and then greedily weighed it for a long time, and even bit it with his teeth, and finally replied with a smile: "Enough is enough." ”

Qianqi handed the mask to Xia Qiu, this was the first time he gave a gift to a strange girl, and then he suddenly realized that he was a little embarrassed to explain to her: "Your appearance is too conspicuous on the street, it will be much better to wear this mask." Here, bring it! ”

"Thank you!" Xia Qiu took the mask and nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't expect that the boy in front of her seemed to be reckless, but in fact he had a considerate and careful side, she smiled at him gratefully, and then put the mask on her face.

"There's nothing to thank, let's be less polite to each other! This is my first time in Yongchuan, so you should accompany me for a spin! Chiki reached out to help her straighten her mask and nodded in satisfaction, revealing a warm smile.

Ouyang Xiaoleng walked to Wutong Garden, and as soon as he saw the snow rabbit, he rushed to the shopping street with her, and the snow rabbit happily held his arm and chattered non-stop along the way, disturbing him a little upset. He began to regret that he didn't make an appointment with Xia Qiu and them on the exact place to meet just now, although the shopping street is not particularly long, but there are dozens of shops, and I don't know when I will find such a family.

I have been to the Demon World King City a few times before, and Xia Qiu has never had the opportunity to wander around so leisurely, but today I found that it is interesting and lively. The small shops are full of mystery and ancient atmosphere, because of the mask, the aura of human beings is also covered by a thousand horses, and the demons around them only regard themselves as one of them.

Qianqi has a completely different personality from Ouyang Xiaoleng, joy, anger and sorrow are written on his face, although he is childish but he is very careful about girls, he always tries to slow down and walk side by side with Xia Qiu, and he also shares the things he thinks are interesting with her without hesitation, so that her mood is involuntarily brightened.

After getting a little familiar, Xia Qiu carefully looked at the young man walking beside him, his cheeks were slightly dark, although his facial features were not as delicate as Ouyang Xiaoleng, but he had a hearty smile like sunshine, there was aura between his eyebrows, and he looked very cute with a grimace from time to time, and his words and deeds were more like his peers around her, such as Du He.

They walked over to a small shop full of strange symbols, and unlike the others, the windows were so small that the door was extremely dim inside. There were only a few candles lit in the store, and a strange aroma came out of the door, and Xia Qiu was immediately attracted by the mysterious atmosphere of this store, and dragged Qianqi inside. In the dim light of the candles, she saw many books stacked on the shelves of the store, and some ornaments that looked like amulets, and other things she didn't recognize.

"Outside this store, everything is written in demon script, what a big breath." Qianqi said dissatisfied.

"What does that mean?" Xia and Qiu are puzzled.

"It's the god of the demon world, the prophet, and the fortune teller of the human world, who can predict the prophet. Every prophet has his own rules, the most common is what you ask, he answers, the most powerful god is that you don't have to open your mouth to answer the questions in your heart. As far as I know, the only people in the demon world who can do this are the Prophet Clan, but that clan was less than three people a thousand years ago, and I think it should have perished by now. Qianqi deliberately shouted behind the screen.

"If you don't believe it, please ask the inner hall to ask."

A voice came from behind the screen, and Xia Qiu realized that there were other people in the store.

Qianqi didn't speak, just pulled Xia Qiu and was about to go behind the screen.

"Son of the Amber Dragon King, please wait a moment, this human girl has a much more urgent question in her heart than you." The female voice behind the screen said again.

"How would she know?" Xia Qiu was a little frightened, and muttered to Qianqi in a low voice.

Qianqi smiled disapprovingly and replied: "Since you know who I am, then don't play any tricks, I'll just guard outside." ”

Xia Qiu nodded to Qianqi and walked behind the screen apprehensively. There was only one table behind the screen, and across the table sat a man in a black cloak, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, but judging from the wrinkled hands she stretched out, she should be an old woman.

"Sit down, Covenanter of the Blood Pact." The masked old woman didn't raise her eyes, and told Xia Qiu's true identity, which surprised her even more.

Xia Qiu sat down as she said, and looked at the only eye on the old woman's entire face with the help of the dim light of the candle, although she couldn't see it clearly, she vaguely felt that there was a cold light in her eyes.

"You can ask me questions, whatever you ask, I'll know everything, but only three questions, about how much money you give me in the end, it all depends on how satisfied you are with my answers." The old woman said with confidence.

As soon as Xia Qiu heard that he was limited to answering three questions, he felt that he should cherish every opportunity to ask questions, so he thought about it carefully.

When the old woman saw that Xia Qiu was silent and thinking for a long time, she preemptively said: "I know the question you want to ask, you don't need to open your mouth!" So, I'll start with your question, and if that's what you want to ask, I'll go ahead and answer it. ”

Xia Qiu nodded, feeling more and more that it was right to walk into this small shop, the person in front of him was both mysterious and interesting.

The old woman stretched out a hand and said, "Give me your hand, and let me hear the questions of your heart." ”

Xia Qiu put her hand in her hand as she said.

"You're most concerned about whether the person you made a contract with can eventually become the lord of the demon world, right?" The old woman asked.

"Yes." Xia Qiu replied, gradually letting go of all her defenses, this person really knew what she was thinking.

This question begs other questions. Let me ask you first, if he becomes the lord of the demon world, it will inevitably usher in a bloody storm, you, the people you know and the people who are about to become your best friends may all die in this war, even so, do you still expect him to become the lord of the demon world? The old woman asked rhetorically.

"What I know is that this possible war is the only hope for the demon world and the human world, so I don't want to give up." Xia Qiu replied without thinking.

"Okay, I already know your answer, then I can tell you my answer, the Demon King Fox Descendant who signed a blood alliance with you will become the Lord of the Demon Realm in the near future. Let me see again, your next question is whether this war can be won, and this answer is related to your third question, and if I answer your second question, your third question becomes meaningless. ”

Xia Qiu felt her heart beat faster, the old woman in front of her was really a prophet of God, and she could really see what she was thinking in her heart, and there were words in her words, which made her feel extremely uneasy.

"Have you changed your question?" The old woman asked unhurriedly.

Xia Qiu shook her head.

"Well, your second question is whether you can succeed in this war, right?"

"Exactly!"

"Then I can tell you that this war will be difficult, but the outcome will be as you wish, that is to say, the key to this war lies with you, and if you want it to win, the one you love will die, which is irreversible; If you wish to save the lives of those you love, then this war will end in your defeat, and your enemies will become the lords of the Three Realms, and you and your loved ones will be exiled and fled forever, but at least they will be able to stay together. ”

The old woman's words were like needles, inserted in Xia Qiu's heart, what a contradictory choice, she understood that the person she loved should be Ouyang Xiaoleng. Because when she thinks of the word love, his appearance appears in her heart, if it is him, what choice will he make?

She knew that she had to stand in his position in order to think better, because that person was the one who took the lives of his grandfather and parents, the old enemy that he had to face as the descendant of the demon king fox, the fate that he couldn't escape, and the reason why he wanted to become the lord of the demon world, if he wanted to be side by side with him, he had to support him. So she must also choose to fight, if it really comes to the moment of deciding life and death, even if she loses her life, she must protect him, for that moment, she has to double her experience, since she is the key to deciding everything, it should be up to her to change this fate. She had just strengthened her thoughts, but she found that the hand that the god was holding her tighter and tighter, and the green tendons on her hand were bursting up, and a kind of coldness that pierced her heart was terrifying, but she couldn't pull it back.

"Your third question is whether you and your loved one can be together, I can tell you, no, because you have chosen to fight, you are destined to separate, right now."

Before Xia Qiu could react, a black smoke-like vortex appeared behind the old woman, Xia Qiu wanted to open her mouth and shout out to the Qianqi waiting outside, but she couldn't make a sound, she was suddenly dragged into the whirlpool by the old woman in a black cloak, and it felt like her soul was instantly emptied, and then she lost consciousness.

Seeing that Xia Qiu walked behind the screen for longer and longer, Qianqi began to feel uneasy, and walked behind the screen while calling her name, who knew that the divine prophet and Xia Qiu had long since disappeared. Qianqi knew that he had been deceived, while regretting his carelessness, he was secretly anxious, it was impossible for him to return to Chenji Palace alone, and he couldn't go back without finding Xia Qiu, so he decided to stay here first to look for clues.

The person who took Xia Qiu seemed to know their whereabouts well, and must have been in ambush here for a long time before they could make such a careful arrangement and disguise, according to this analysis, Qianqi thought that there would be some clues left here.

Sure enough, he soon smelled blood in the air, and the smell was no longer fresh. Following the smell, he found a spot in the corner of the wall, where there were faintly visible spots of blood on the ground, and the smell of rotting blood spread all the way to the ground. He stomped the floor there, and a hollow sound came from the sound that there was probably something hidden under the floor or something, and that the floor in front of him was probably just an illusion. He conjured the dragon fire bow on his arm and shot an arrow at the floor, and a large hole appeared in the ground that the flame arrow had pierced, and he leaned down to look inside, and the hole was connected to a staircase. He walked down it, picked up the arrow he had just released from the ground, and by the light of the arrow's end, walked to an empty basement.

In the entire basement, the humid air is filled with the smell of blood and decaying internal organs, and there are many incomplete corpse fragments and hearts that have not yet been eaten on the ground.

But despite this, Qianqi still blamed himself very much, he knew very well how powerful the Rakshasa Mother was, even if he was taken away by a monster much weaker than her, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Xia Qiu would be safe, let alone such a powerful and brutal Rakshasa Mother. For her, the girl's heart is a rare delicacy, unless she wants to rely on Xia Qiu to accomplish some other purpose, otherwise Xia Qiu must be more than lucky, he knows that he can't delay for a moment, he must find the nest of the Rakshasa Mother as soon as possible to save Xia Qiu.

Ouyang Xiaoleng's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and there is always an inexplicable ominous lingering, and he is looking for snow rabbits one by one. Snow Rabbit saw something strange about him, and although she had known him since birth, it was the first time she had seen him with such a nervous tension. In her eyes, her little cold brother had always been taciturn and pretended to be indifferent to everything, but he had changed a lot lately, and she guessed that nine times out of ten it was because of the human girl they were about to meet.

"Brother Xiao Leng, are you worried about that sister?" Snow Rabbit said a word to break Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart.

He nodded, his steps becoming more flustered.

"It's so lively here, and there is that Qianqi brother with her, it should be fine." Snow Rabbit comforted.

In fact, Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't know this, but that instinct like an electrocardiogram was constantly sending him signals, making him more and more sure that something must have happened in Xia Qiu.

The Thousand Riders knew that the Rakshasa Mother was good at walking and flying, and was extremely fast, but if she wanted to take Xia Qiu with her, it would definitely have some influence. Mother Rakshasa also has a habit of eating fresh human flesh and offal every few hours, so he guesses that she will build a temporary nest not far from here. He knew that he was not familiar with the terrain of Yongchuan, and he had to use the strength of others to rescue Xia Qiu faster, and while thinking about it, he climbed up the stairs, but he didn't expect to meet Ouyang Xiaoleng and Snow Rabbit as soon as he walked out of the store.

Ouyang Xiaoleng first looked behind Qianqi with anticipation, and found that Xia Qiu had not come out with him for a long time, so he couldn't bear it anymore and asked anxiously, "What about Xia Qiu?" Aren't you all in this together? ”

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to pull her around with me, but someone kidnapped her from under my nose." Qianqi said with a clenched fist.
