It was early in the morning, and the murky light was shining through the holes in the ruined house.

Ouyang Hongye patted Ouyang Xiaoleng a few times, waking him up from his sleep, and then he and the three of them got up and set off towards the dock where they took the ferry to Dongyao. Ouyang Xiaoleng was still reminiscing about last night's dream as he walked, and he began to miss Xia Qiulai in his heart, but he thought about it for a few days, where did such a longing come from, such a feeling was something he had never had, both strange and strong.

Coming to the pier outside Dongyao City, the ferry has not yet arrived, and the water here is very clear from other places in the demon world, so Mochizuki can't help but squat down and reach out to scoop up a handful.

"Be careful!"

On the oncoming ferry, the ferryman shouted to Mochizuki.

Before Mochizuki could react, a huge fish jumped out of the water, with thorny dorsal fins and fangs, and pounced fiercely towards Mochizuki. Mochizuki was caught off guard, but fortunately, Ouyang Hongye pulled him from behind and dodged the attack of the strange fish. The strange fish then fell into the water, and watched their movements with bulging eyes, and soon hundreds of schools of the same strange fish also converged towards it.

The ferry had already arrived in front of Ouyang Hongye and them, and the ferryman said to them: "These fish are transformed by the spirits of the Dongyao soldiers who died in the Great War sixteen years ago, although their bodies are no longer in the world, but their souls still return here to protect Dongyao, except for the ships marked by the Amber Dragon King himself, anyone who wants to cross the river will be attacked by them." ”

The ferryman was a thin mantle, wearing a brown cloak and a large straw hat, and his entire face was tightly covered by the brim.

"This water is not wide, it would be nice to fly over it!" Ouyang Xiaoleng was a little puzzled.

"Don't underestimate Dongyao's moat, it has been set up by the Amber Dragon King, if you force it to fly over, it will be swept into the water and let the big fish grab it, why do you want to cross the river?" The ferryman answered and asked.

"Meet an old friend! Don't continue to pretend, Sanmu! Ouyang Hongye smiled at the ferryman.

As soon as Ouyang Hongye called out his name, the ferryman took off his straw hat, revealing his true face of Lushan. He had brown hair and a beard, a pair of small, round dark eyes that were very smart, and he had pointed ears and two protruding front teeth.

Sanmu was also an old subordinate of Ouyang Xueye in the past, and he had a very close personal relationship with Ouyang Hongye back then, and after the Great War sixteen years ago, he followed the Amber Dragon King to Dongyao. Dong Yao is one of the most well-informed of the few remaining cities, and while assisting the Amber Dragon King, he also secretly gathers information for Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye. Previously, it was he who first discovered that Qingyun's subordinates had reappeared in the Demon Realm and wrote a letter to Ouyang Hongye, and after some consideration, he invited them to come to Dongyao to ask for help from the Amber Dragon King.

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, why do you still have this face that makes me jealous and wants to tear it apart." Sanmu said to Ouyang Hongye, then turned to Ouyang Xiaoleng, and excitedly glared at his small round eyes even rounder, "This ...... Could this be the son of Lord Snow Night? ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded silently.

Sanmu bowed deeply to him, raised his head and looked at it happily, and then his eyes were red and he said with a slight choked voice, "It's just the same as Lord Snow Night's touch, I almost had an illusion when I looked at it from a distance just now." Brother Ouyang, finally someone more beautiful than you, a demon, has appeared! ”

"Don't talk about it there, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still the same!" Ouyang Hongye pretended to be angry and glared at him, looking at him excitedly, which made people feel a certain touch.

Ouyang Xueye was his god in the eyes of Sanmu, and because he was a rat demon with limited power and was not good at martial arts, he couldn't charge for Ouyang Xueye, which made him fall into extreme chagrin, and even gave up on himself. Later, Xue Ye saw his mind and discovered his advantage of being alert and flexible, and arranged for him to collect information in various parts of the demon world, so that he who had given up on himself repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and thus regained his confidence.

"Alas, patronizing and gossiping! Get on board, the Amber Dragon King has been waiting for a long time! ”

Mime said as he hooked the long hook on the ferry to the metal ring on the pier to stabilize the ship.

They got on the boat before and after, and the strange fish that had transformed into undead saw that they were not enemies, so they slowly lined up on both sides to form a passage, leading them to the gate of Dongyao City.

The blue city wall of Dongyao City is pulled up from the water for a hundred meters, and the huge black city gate is carved with a dragon-shaped totem, and the dragon on the totem is noble and mighty. Sanmu waved to the observation window on the city wall next to the gate, and with a voice: "Open the city gate." ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others heard the loud sound of the gears turning, the gate was slowly raised, and the three eyes hurriedly rowed a few oars along the waterway into the city.

After entering the city gate, you soon came to a wide body of water used to moor ships, where many large and small ships were neatly docked. As soon as Sanmu stopped the ferry on the ferry, two people who had been waiting on the pier came over, they were wearing the same light blue slippery clothes, their faces were the same as those of humans, but they had fine scales on their necks, and there were large gills behind their ears, and their light gray skin was extremely delicate, shining with the peculiar luster of pearls, and their sea-blue eyes, although they were both men, in addition to being polite, they also had a bit of elegance and softness.

"Most of the aborigines in Dongyao City are descendants of the mermaid tribe, they rest in the water at night, and take human form during the day, and women will be closer to humans than men. These two are the Greeters, who are responsible for welcoming the Amber Dragon King's important guests, and he has specially sent them to the ferry to wait for you. Sanmu introduced them to Ouyang Xiaoleng.

Ouyang Xiaoleng had seen the portrait of a mermaid in Ouyang Yong's treasured books before, but the mermaid who was brutally devouring its prey in the water was very different from the two in front of him.

"The mermaid was once a very seductive creature, the male mermaid had a beautiful singing voice, and the female mermaid was naturally good at dancing, and it is said that men who were lucky enough to see the female mermaid's courtship dance would be fascinated by it, and would willingly sink to the bottom of the water with her, even drowning. But after a long period of evolution, they no longer attack others easily. After going ashore, Ouyang Hongye whispered to Ouyang Xiaoleng.

"Visitors from afar, stepping on the light, condensing like beads, washing away the dust. The lord of Dongyao has been waiting for a long time, and he ordered me to lead the way, please come with me. As soon as the leading mermaid spoke, the voice of the mermaid was like a chant.

"This Dongyao's welcome secretary is really not something that ordinary people can do, and he has to sing to greet a guest." Mochizuki couldn't help but laugh out loud at the tone of the mermaid.

The merfolk were not angry, and gracefully turned around and continued to guide them. Not far away, a large cart pulled by two jade-scaled horned beasts appeared in front of him, this monster was like a cow, with two horns on its lion-like head, and jade-colored scales on its body.

The mermaids served Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others to get into the car one by one, and they and their companions came up last to close the car door. The interior of the car has a light yellow interior, with two rows of seats on the left and right sides with windows above the seats. The mermaid who had just been singing shouted softly, and the jade-scaled horned beast ran in small steps, and the wheels under the car also rotated with the chariot, although the speed was incomparable to that of the demon carriage, it was stable and powerful.

Ouyang Xiaoleng turned his head and looked out of the window, because he had seen the decay and desolation of the demon world all the way, so at this moment, he felt how precious the prosperity of Dongyao City was, and couldn't help but admire the Amber Dragon King, thinking that he was really managing everything here.

On both sides of the straight and wide road in Dongyao, there are mostly imitation Tang style buildings, and when the car passes through the crowded market, people can't help but feel that this place is more like an imperial capital than the current royal city. Sure enough, as Sanmu said, most of the people in the city are descendants of the mermaid clan, and there are also some other demon clans mixed in.

Ouyang Xiao sighed unconsciously: "The design of the streets here and the style of the buildings are very similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty that I have seen in books and TV. ”

"Because the wife of the Amber Dragon King is from the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, so he deliberately built Dongyao into the appearance of the Tang City, speaking of which she is not only a human being, but also a princess! For her sake, the Amber Dragon King ordered the customs, attire, and etiquette here...... Even everything and everything must be imitated as much as possible in the Tang Dynasty. In order to give her a sense of belonging when his wife was alive, he even stipulated that people walking on the street must maintain a human posture, not to mention the infatuation of this dragon king, not to mention in the demon world, even in the human world that knows the most emotions, it is rare in ancient and modern times! Sanmu's words were full of respect for the Amber Dragon King.

Mochizuki echoed thoughtfully: "I only know that Lord Snow Night has built the wonder of the Purple Blank Lotus for Bo Susu's smile, but I didn't expect this Amber Dragon King to be even better!" ”

"Xiao Leng, what are you going to do for Xia Qiu?"

Ouyang Hongye deliberately used some ridicule to hide his panic when he heard Su Su's name, his face was smiling like a flower, but his chest was like something pulling him and making it difficult for him to breathe.

"I ......" Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly felt that his cheeks were hot, and he glared at him angrily, and then turned his gaze to the car window again.

Suddenly, he met the gaze of a woman dressed in gorgeous Tang Dynasty costumes, with very elaborate embroidery on her clothes, her hair in a bun, and her veil to hide her face revealing only a pair of blue eyes like sea water. The sense of mystery and exoticism exuded by her body was irresistible, and before she knew it, Ouyang Xiaoleng looked at her for a long time.

Beside her stood several women dressed like her, veiled like her, but not as ornate as her. She was surrounded by them and left, and she didn't forget to look forward to it frequently, looking back at Ouyang Xiaoleng affectionately again and again.

Soon, the palace of the Amber Dragon King, the Lord of Dongyao, came into Ouyang Xiaoleng's sight. The pure white Amber Dragon Palace looks on land from the front, but when you look at it from the side, you can see that the bottom of its back is directly embedded in the turquoise lake floor, and it is as white as a large drop of condensation on green leaves.

The car pulled by the jade-scaled horned beast slowly stopped in front of the Amber Dragon Palace, the mermaid got up first and opened the car door and got out of the car, Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others followed closely behind and stepped out of the car door with the mermaid's careful support. Guarding the gate of the Dragon Palace are two giant turtle monsters, majestic and strong, as their name suggests, with huge turtle shells behind them welded with iron armor and heavy tridents in their hands, standing in front of the door like sculptures. Seeing that the guests were led by the mermaids of the welcome department, and knowing that they were noble guests, he immediately opened the door and let them pass.

The Amber Dragon Palace is built on the ground and is a domed hall supported by columns, and the walls of the hall are painted with murals in the style of the Tang Dynasty, mostly about people, flowers, scenery and Buddhism. There is a wide sunken staircase in the middle of the hall, and walking down the staircase is the main body of the Dragon Palace hidden at the bottom of the lake. The main body of the Dragon Palace isolates the lake outside the corridor around the Dragon Palace with the night pearl of the Dragon King's Dinghai, just like a glass cover, the lake water will not seep into the palace, but the strange aquatic plants, colorful fish, and half-human and half-fish mermaids in the lake swim around, so many beautiful scenery really make Ouyang Xiao dizzy, amazed.

Although Ouyang Hongye has been here more than once, he still can't help but admire Liulian: "I remember the first time I came to the Amber Dragon Palace, I couldn't help but be shocked by the ingenious design here, whether it is the exquisite structure of the entire palace and the courtyard and furnishings that imitate the Tang Dynasty, or even the descendants of the mermaids who have served the Dragon Palace here for generations, they are all as beautiful as a picture scroll." ”

Mochizuki joked with him: "It's incredible that you weren't hooked by the beautiful mermaid ladies, and that you became an idiot drowning at the bottom of the lake." ”

"You should be more careful than me, the Amber Dragon King will definitely arrange mermaid dancers to perform for us later, and then so many beauties will surround you to see how you cope."

Mochizuki was choked by Ouyang Hongye's words, no matter how bold and simple he was on weekdays, he would become shy and shy and overwhelmed when he met a strange person of the opposite sex. He was also well aware of his shortcomings, so he had to be convinced.

Sanmu glanced at the mermaid who led them, and added to Ouyang Xiaoleng in a low voice: "Actually, mermaids can't easily dance the dance of courtship, but once they are the ones they like, it will be difficult to resist their temptation." The courtship dance can only be done in the water, so don't worry about the mermaid dancers who dance in the main hall during the evening feast. ”

"It turns out that even the red leaves can't enter their eyes, so I don't have to worry about being tricked." Hearing Mime say this, Mochizuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking and laughing, they have walked into the main hall of the Dragon Palace together, where one wall is a wave pattern carved by white jade, and the other side is also facing the bottom of the lake, where the scenery in the lake can be seen unobstructed. The Amber Dragon King's throne was just below the white jade wall, and there were two rows of tables and chairs on either side of his throne, as soon as he saw Ouyang Hongye and his party enter, the Amber Dragon King got up from the throne and walked down to greet them with a smile, in fact, he was already looking forward to it.

The Amber Dragon King was originally a descendant of the Dragon King of the Sea who dominated one side in ancient times, and he also had a divine certificate, but he was exiled because he fell in love with a human woman. Later, he fell into the demon world and became a friend of Xiao Leng's grandfather, and he generously gifted Dongyao City to him. Since then, he and his human wife have made their home in Dongyao, and after decades of hard work, the city has gradually prospered.

He and Li have a very deep brotherhood, and he is a person with a personality, so after Li's death, he still did his best to serve the snowy night, but thousands of years of conquest have made him physically and mentally exhausted. In fact, after experiencing the ups and downs of the god realm and the demon realm, he has become desireless and desireless, and only hopes to live a peaceful life of husband and wife love and embracing each other morning and evening.

He and his wife have been with him for thousands of years but still respect each other, love as before, the only regret is that he never had a son, although he repeatedly concealed it from his wife, but in the end his wife learned the reason, it turned out that it was the god Qiansu for his love with a human woman and punished them for not being able to spread the branches. The wife then secretly prayed to Qiansu that if she could leave a son and a half daughter for the Amber Dragon King, she would be willing to exchange her life for it. Perhaps it was because she was too sincere, Qiansu actually fulfilled her wish, and she died shortly after the birth of her son Qianqi with the Amber Dragon King, and the Amber Dragon King also became more depressed after the death of his wife, and never stepped out of Dongyao City, which was full of memories with his wife.

This was Ouyang Xiaoleng's first meeting with the Amber Dragon King, and unexpectedly he didn't look as old as Lord Yong, only slightly older than Momiji and Mochizuki. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with long limbs, and his long, light brown hair with slightly curly curls scattered behind his shoulders. His skin was white and gray, and his amber eyes were as his name suggested. His face was angular, his eye sockets were deep, and although he had a beard, he looked a little wilted in emaciation. Despite this, it is still difficult to hide the shadow of the handsome appearance of the past.

The merfolk bowed forward and reported to the Amber Dragon King in a singing voice, "My lord, I have brought the Three-Eyed Lord and the distinguished guests. ”

"Good work, carp, I want to talk to the guests, you wait by the side first." The Amber Dragon King's voice was calm and powerful, not as timid as it seemed.

"Yes!" The carp and the other mermaid, who was also the hostess, bowed their heads and silently stepped aside.

Ouyang Hongye first came to the Amber Dragon King and leaned down politely, and then said, "Lord Dragon King, it's been a long time!" ”

"Momiji, my old friend doesn't need to be polite." The Amber Dragon King stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then clasped his hands tightly, and complained, "I have lived here alone all these years, and I have never seen you come to visit me once, and I have not even had a friend to drink and talk to, so I am so desolate. ”

Ouyang Hongye also shook the Amber Dragon King's hand vigorously: "I will accompany you to drink all night tonight, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk." ”

Ouyang Hongye and the Amber Dragon King were both subordinates of Ouyang Xueye, although the Amber Dragon King was much older than them, but he had a hearty personality like a child, and he was like-minded with them, and he had always been a close friend who drank and talked about joy and life and death in private.

It's just that later, seeing the Amber Dragon King who lost his former luster because of the death of his wife, Ouyang Hongye was somewhat distressed, and friends occasionally mentioned it when they met, and everyone still remembered his physical condition. What I didn't expect was that this time was a little different, and when I saw the Amber Dragon King again, there was no reluctance to force a smile to meet his friends, although he looked older, but his smile at the moment was indeed much easier.

The Amber Dragon King turned his gaze to Ouyang Xiaoleng who was standing behind Ouyang Hongye: "This is the son of Lord Snow Night, right?" It's instantly recognizable! You see, it is no different from the appearance and posture of the snowy night back then. ”

"Exactly." Ouyang Hongye should accept it and push Ouyang Xiaoleng forward.

The Amber Dragon King gently leaned down to Ouyang Xiaoleng and saluted, which really startled everyone.

Ouyang Xiaoleng was even more at a loss: "This ......"

The Amber Dragon King stood up and said respectfully, "I swore to be loyal to him and his descendants forever when I met Lord Xian Wang Li, and since you are his descendant, you are the only one I recognize to be the lord of the demon realm, and sooner or later you will be my king!" ”

The Amber Dragon King's actions and words just now made Ouyang Hongye extremely moved. Touched may be his biggest feeling after coming to Dongyao, since the Great War in the sixteen years, both the three eyes and the Amber Dragon King have a rare chance to meet, compared to those deceitful, insidious and hypocritical princes and nobles in the royal city, the Amber Dragon King and the three eyes in Dongyao are more precious to the demon king fox's unwavering loyalty, and his previous worries have also been resolved.

From this point of view, Sanmu's words are really right, the Amber Dragon King's will to support the Demon King Fox Descendant as the Lord of the Demon Realm has not wavered in the slightest, and the next thing to do is to persuade him to return to the royal city and help Ouyang Xiaoleng ascend to the throne that should belong to him with himself.

"I forgot that you must be tired all the way here, so please take a seat." The Amber Dragon King motioned for everyone to sit down and rest, and he himself sat back on his throne.

After taking a seat, Ouyang Hongye smiled and introduced Mochizuki to the Amber Dragon King: "This is Tingyue's younger brother Mochizuki. ”

The Amber Dragon King looked at it carefully and said with a smile, "I have long heard from Tingyue that he has a younger brother who likes to travel around the demon world and the human world, and today we were finally able to meet. Fortunately! Fortunately! ”

"It's rare that he'll mention me to you." Mochizuki's eyes became a little sad.

"I've learned a little bit about the purpose of your trip from Mime, Momiji, with the friendship between you and me, you don't need to hide it, you can just say what you think in your heart." The Amber Dragon King gets straight to the point.

As soon as Ouyang Hongye saw that the Amber Dragon King was so straightforward, he said sincerely: "After the Great War, the sacrifice of Xianwang Xueye and others in exchange for sixteen years of peace between you and me and the Demon Realm. Now, Qingyun has reappeared, and crises are lurking, but there is no master in the demon world. This time I came here for nothing else, just for you to be able to see the two adults in Lili and Xueye and the past relationship between us and return to the royal city with me, and help Xiao Leng quickly ascend to the throne of the demon world, so as to lead all the departments of the demon world to fight against Qingyun together. ”

"Why don't I want to help Xiao Leng, in order to repay Lord Li's kindness back then, as well as the love of Xue Ye and your brothers, even if I sacrifice my life. Hate only hate now I have been like a candle in the wind, twilight remnant light, since the death of my wife, the day and night of her miss makes me physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention returning to the battlefield even with those princes and princes are powerless. The Amber Dragon King grimaced.

"I don't need you to go to the battlefield in person, I just hope that you can go back to Yongchuan with me to sit for Xiao Leng at the Demon King Election Conference, and with you to make a stand in front of the elders, with your prestige in the demon world, you will be able to ensure that Xiao Leng will become the lord of the demon world smoothly."

Before Ouyang Hongye's words fell, a young man suddenly walked in from outside. The person who came was slightly taller than Ouyang Xiaoleng, wearing a white shirt inside, a robe with a blue dark flower pattern, a yellow belt around his waist, his hair was coiled high into a bun, and his darker face and slender body were very similar to the Amber Dragon King. He walked up to everyone on his own, stood opposite Ouyang Xiaoleng, and crossed his arms over his chest very arrogantly.

The Amber Dragon King called out his name: "Thousand Riders! ”

The young man stared at Ouyang Xiaoleng intently, and said openly: "Father, you don't have to be embarrassed, let your son go to Yongchuan for you!" This person is a bit interesting, so I want to be by his side, and sooner or later I will defeat him and become the lord of the demon world. ”

"It's just nonsense, how can such an important thing be child's play." The Amber Dragon King shook his head helplessly with anger on his face, and then turned to Ouyang Hongye, "This is my son Qianqi, who has been too pampered since he was a child, so that he has a stubborn personality and doesn't know how to be polite, please don't be surprised!" ”

Ouyang Hongye looked Qianqi up and down, and liked it very much: "His age should be similar to Xiao Leng, what a handsome young man." ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng, who looked at the young man in front of him, felt how familiar his voice was, where must he have heard it? That's right, it should be...... Then he had an answer, and he suddenly remembered that the owner of this voice was not the masked man who had attacked him last night and was going to compete with him?

He asked tentatively, "Were you ...... last night?"

Qianqi said a little unconvinced: "That's right, it's me, last night's comparison was not enjoyable, and when I get to the royal city, I will compete with you again." ”

"Qianqi, let's not talk about the fact that you don't know the etiquette and offend the descendants of the demon king fox. Just because you are so young and bold and reckless, how do you know that the real battlefield is so powerful, you go up so recklessly, you may lose your life at any time. Alas, don't think about it, I'm not going to let you out. ”

The Amber Dragon King's voice trembled with anger, and he thought that Qian Qi had not only eavesdropped on the conversation between himself and Sanmu, but also secretly went out of the city to design a competition with Ouyang Xiaoleng, and suddenly felt angry, and even a little dizzy.

Facing his father, who rarely gets angry with him, Qianqi did not give in: "Father, it is because I am young that I don't want to live in this small Dongyao Pass for the rest of my life, and you can't protect me forever." You just let me go, I will take five thousand demon horse cavalry regiments to the royal city instead of you. ”

"By no means, put together my old bones, I will personally go to Yongchuan to help Xiao Leng ascend to the throne, no matter what, I don't need you to come out of this."

The Amber Dragon King wanted to continue, but unexpectedly, Qianqi pulled Ouyang Xiaoleng up, took him and ran out of the gate of the main hall.

They walked through the corridor, and Ouyang Xiaoleng was inexplicably pulled by him and ran to the other end of the palace at the bottom of the lake. It's a room that few people visit, and there's a lot of tattered suits and armor on display, each of which looks like it's been a baptism of time, and one can't help but wonder how brave and heroic the men who wore them in battle must have been.

"You see, these old suits and armor are the ones my father used to use." The Thousand Riders lovingly stroked one of the silver-gray scaly armors and continued, "This one is the dragon scale armor he got when he still had the divine name, and it was also worn by him when he fought alongside your grandfather later. Ever since I was a child, my favorite thing was to bring my father to this room and listen to him tell the story of the suit and armor one by one, about every battle he experienced, how he used to dominate the battlefield and how he killed countless enemies...... Those stories were so legendary that they had been imprinted in my heart for a long time, and now he prevented me from creating my own legend. Qianqi paused for a moment and looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng very longingly, "Aren't you the future master of the demon world?" If that is the case, then help me to persuade my father. ”

Speaking of this, Qianqi's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes were even a little moist. After all, he is just a teenager, and his vision of the outside world and the unknown is like a pair of wings, which is about to be broken by his father's tyranny before it can be unfolded, which is such a heavy blow to him.

In the past, he had also asked his father's permission countless times to leave Dongyao and go outside alone, but his father rejected him again and again. So this time Ouyang Xiaoleng and their arrival was a rare opportunity for him, although his father was still stubborn and would not let him go, he didn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ouyang Xiaoleng has never comforted others, and he is really at a loss in the face of Qianqi who is the same age as himself in front of him. In all fairness, he really wanted to help him, he admired his quirkiness, and his superb fighting skills, even the little bad things he liked to play tricks on people were so cute, which was undoubtedly the feeling of sympathy for his peers. But on the other hand, he didn't know how to help, especially how to convince the Amber Dragon King, so that he didn't even have a little bottom in his heart. He has never done such a thing when he is so old, and with his age and experience, he wants to change the decision of the Amber Dragon King who has worked with his grandfather, not only from the emotional point of view, but also because he is forced to stand in front of the old Dragon King, he will still be embarrassed to open his mouth. At this moment, he deliberately turned his head to the side, pretending to look at the armor that had been through the wind and smoke of the battlefield, but in fact, he didn't want to see the eyes of Qianqi full of longing.

In the midst of his embarrassment, the Amber Dragon King walked in unexpectedly. He heard all the words that Fang Qianqi said outside the house. Only then did he realize that since his wife's death, his arrogance and protection of Qianqi had indeed been excessive, but what he never expected was that he would bring so much pain to his son in this way. He hid outside the door, weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally asked him to figure it out: alas, there is no horse in the yard, and there is no jade dragon in the pond, maybe now is the time to let go?

The Amber Dragon King was filled with emotion, came to Qianqi, reached out and stroked the dragon scale armor, and said to him earnestly: "This is my favorite armor, although it is worn, I still give it to you." Qianqi, take it to Yongchuan, and work with your like-minded partners to create a world of your own. Amber said this to her son, and she seemed to have lifted a heavy burden, and breathed a long sigh of relief from her chest.

Qianqi still seemed to be a little incredulous: "Father, do you really agree that I will go to the royal city with them?" ”

"I'm already old, so it's up to you to repay the kindness of the two adults in Liye and Snow Night instead of me, I believe that your achievements will definitely be above me, and you will definitely have your own legend." The Amber Dragon King patted Senki's shoulder meaningfully.

Feeling the strength and sustenance from his father's palm, Qianqi could no longer care that he was a teenager of the same height as his father, and suddenly threw himself into his father's generous embrace. Immediately, he reacted again, and Ouyang Xiaoleng was standing next to him, and hurriedly pulled out and said with a flushed face: "Our competition is not over yet, one day I will win you." ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng was happy for him, but also a little envious, and admitted: "Well, I'll wait." ”

"Okay, I have made a decision with Hongye to send five thousand demon horse cavalry to return to Yongchuan with you early tomorrow morning, plus my son Qiancai, it is enough to show my attitude and determination to the elders of the demon world. Tonight, I have set up a feast for you to wash the dust and practice for you. ”

After the Amber Dragon King finished speaking, he returned to the main hall with Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, and the three of them sat down at the same time and waited for the next feast.

As soon as the Amber Dragon King returned to the main hall, the mermaid carp announced that the banquet had begun.

Countless strands of dark blue silk poured down from the ceiling of the main hall like a cascading waterfall, and several huge pearl chandeliers suddenly lit up, illuminating all parts of the hall as if it were daytime. Servants brought food and wine up, and a band of male merfolk placed instruments on one side of the main hall. The instruments are all made of shells, conchs, corals and pearls made of water, and they are pleasing to the eye, and the music played from them is sure to be beautiful and natural.

Just as the stage was staggered, the music in the audience sounded, with the sound of wind, birdsong, springs, and galloping horses...... The smooth melody is refreshing, and every note seems to touch the soul, driving the listener's emotions to fluctuate.

The wine fairy music makes everyone intoxicated. At this time, in the lake facing the main hall, there were more than a dozen beautiful mermaid girls swimming. They swung their arms and fishtails gracefully, danced to the music, and changed their formations in a way that amazed everyone present.

The performance gradually got better, and the mermaids in the lake merged into a vertical column, and slowly walked from the lake into the main hall one after another, and the fishtails turned into beautiful and slender legs the moment they stepped into the main hall. They overlapped each other, and only the one standing at the front could be seen, and the outstretched arms of all of them were reassembled into a pattern of the thousand-armed Guanyin, and then slowly dispersed like flower petals, leaving only a beautiful female figure standing at the back.

The female singer stepped forward alone and danced lightly in the music, which was a graceful gesture that Ouyang Xiaoleng had never seen. She is like a fish swimming in the water, and like a dandelion spinning in the wind, as if she is constantly changing the most beautiful scenery in the world. But no matter how she flew up and down, or swirled left and right, her gaze always stayed on Ouyang Xiaoleng's body.

The hot and charming gaze made the feeling of déjà vu that Ouyang Xiaoleng had once reappeared, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had met that gaze. He looked more closely, and saw that she had the distinct silhouette of an exotic woman, the light hair, dark blue eyes, and slender waist characteristic of a mermaid, and her gaudy and delicate makeup and indescribable beauty.

Slowly, her figure coincided with Xia Qiu in Ouyang Xiaoleng's eyes, was it because of the music that tugged at the heartstrings? Or is it the soul-stirring dance? Ouyang Xiaoleng gradually hallucinated, and the female girl leaned in his direction, stepped forward and gently took his hand, and led him into the lake outside the palace...... At this moment, he clearly felt that Xia Qiu was pulling him, so he followed her very relaxedly, and let her hug him and dance in the lake together.

"Summer and autumn."

He had another girl in mind, and he couldn't help but call out her name. Because he was blocked by the lake, even he couldn't hear it, and the bubbles that came out of his mouth spread out in front of his eyes. The feeling of oppression from poor breathing made him sober up, and he suddenly saw that it was not Xia Qiu in front of him, so he pushed her away with all his might, and hurriedly swam back to the main hall, and he was soaked and pulled back to the original world by everyone's sudden laughter.

Mochizuki saw it and quipped to Ouyang Hongye: "It seems that mermaids like beautiful boys like Xiao Leng. ”

"Why didn't you pay attention for a while, you were so embarrassed?" Ouyang Hongye, who was busy drinking with the Amber Dragon King, listened to Mochizuki's words, and only then did he turn around and see Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was standing there stupidly with droplets of water all over his body, and he also laughed.

When the Amber Dragon King saw it, he sighed again and again: "It's really rare, the girl who danced the courtship dance to Xiao Leng just now is called the Jade Cicada, not only has an outstanding appearance, but also the singing and dancing is the best among the mermaids." It is extremely rare for a foreign race to be favored by a mermaid, and it is even more rare to be favored by a jade cicada. ”

"Hmph, this guy is really lucky." Qianqi glanced at Xiao Leng with disdain.

Attention quickly turned to drinking and conversation. Sanmu and Mochizuki drank each other, and Ouyang Hongye accompanied the Amber Dragon King.

Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't feel the slightest luck, but he was a little annoyed and angry, thinking that he would be confused by such a humble mermaid. He left the table early and was ushered in by the servants into the guest room where he rested.

The furnishings in the room were not ornate but very elegant, and the wooden bathtub in the bathroom was already filled with hot water, and he couldn't wait to remove his wet clothes and dive into the warmth. The hot water took away the coldness of his body from the inside out after the lake water invaded, and also calmed his mind a little, he simply closed his eyes and sank his face into the bathtub to help his tense nerves relax as soon as possible.

That night, he went to bed early, slept soundly and deeply, and had no dreams all night. When he woke up again, it was early in the morning, and he suddenly wanted to go up the corridor to stretch his body after curling up all night. The light under the water is different from that on land, and the morning glow penetrates through the sparkling shadows of the water, as if passing through a beaded curtain. There was a feeling of time standing still in such a light, and he stared at the world in the lake that was isolated by the demon law in a daze as he walked, but he didn't expect to suddenly bump into a person.

"Ahh A nice exclamation.

He turned his face to look, and it turned out to be a jade cicada.

He was still stunned, but saw that the jade cicada didn't speak, but just stretched out a hand that was clutching, as if there was something to be handed to him in his hand. Confused, he reached out as she placed a bracelet made of colored thread in his hand, adorned with a pebbly pearl, which was very chic.

Xiao Leng was a little puzzled: "This ...... Is it for me? ”

The jade cicada in front of him nodded, and then covered half of his face under his eyes with his right hand. He immediately reacted, it turned out that the girl he had been looking forward to for a long time at the Dongyao Market yesterday was none other than Jade Cicada.

"I can't take this ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the jade cicada turned around and dived into the lake, and its legs instantly turned into beautiful fish tails, which disappeared with a slight swing.

He hesitated for a long time, so he had to casually stuff the bracelet into his pocket.

After having eaten in the house and tidying up their bags, everyone went to the main hall to say goodbye to the Amber Dragon King.

The Amber Dragon King stayed awake all night because he was relieved that he could not ride a thousand horses, and the area around his already deep eye sockets looked even darker. Qianqi did not want to carry too many things in any case, only carried a simple bag, and resolutely refused to bring a servant with him. The Amber Dragon King looked at him and couldn't help but think of himself when he was younger, how could he not be like this at that time, he only wanted to gallop freely in the distance, and be at peace wherever he went.

He had to order his servants to prepare a bag full of gold ingots for Qianqi, although he knew that there were great elder Ouyang Yong and his best friend Ouyang Hongye in Yongchuan to take care of his son, but he was still worried that being pampered since childhood would definitely make him feel that the outside world was extremely difficult. Looking at his energetic and well-dressed son, he suddenly realized that he had grown so tall, and his shoulders were not very broad, but they were strong, and all this was inadvertently on his part.

The Amber Dragon King insisted on personally sending Ouyang Xiaoleng and his party to Dongyao Pier, and when they arrived, thousands of small boats had already docked there, carrying a heavily armed demon horse cavalry regiment. One by one, they bid farewell to the Amber Dragon Queen and boarded the ships that had been prepared for them. When it was over, he patted his son's shoulder meaningfully, shook his hand for a long time, and finally couldn't help but hug him tightly in his arms.

"Please rest assured that the dragon king, Momiji will take care of Qianqi."

If it weren't for the persuasion of the three eyes standing on the sidelines, the Amber Dragon King would not know when he would be willing to let go of his arm, he knew that if he let go, his son would fly away like a bird from a cage. The moment he let go of his son, his whole body seemed to grow old and weak because of his attachment to his son, and he watched as the ship carrying a thousand horsemen drifted away with the other ships......

At the stern of the boat, Qianqi waved to the Amber Dragon King from time to time, although he was also reluctant to give up on his father, but the thought of the beauty of the unknown world outside still made him excited.
