The person Ouyang Xiaoleng was missing was on the way back to Wangcheng Yongchuan alone, although she was guided and accompanied by cranes along the way, she was still lonely. It was only because of the promise she had made to the Feathered Crane Immortal in her heart, and the thoughts of her blood alliance contractors, as well as her family and companions, that she became brave. She walked through the golden maple forest alone, stepped on the mountain stream, passed through the Tibetan Bird Terrace, bypassed the southern Zhejiang, rode a horse and galloped, and returned to her heart like an arrow.

The vague outline of Wangcheng Yongchuan finally appeared in her sight on the evening of the third day, the Chenji Palace on the mountains was still magnificent, everything in the royal city was both familiar and unfamiliar, there were obviously many more people on the streets than she remembered, and all the streets were also decorated. No one paid much attention to her as she was wrapped in a cloak, and most people thought of her as a visitor from a foreign country who had come to see the new Lord of the Demon Realm. She came to the front gate of Chenji Palace, compared to the previous depression, this place has also changed a lot, although the gate is open, there are many more guards to guard, and you have to go through an inventory when you go in and out.

"Go, Verdant." Xia Qiu skillfully and lightly turned over and dismounted, and then gently patted the green forehead and said, the green took a breath and disappeared.

When she walked to the front gate, she was unsurprisingly stopped by the guards, and she confidently said to one of the guards: "I am the blood alliance contractor of the demon king fox, if you don't believe it, you can report to the red-haired demon fox Hou Ouyang Hongye, and he will definitely come to pick it up in person." Seeing that the guards were still hesitant when they heard this, she continued, "If you don't let me in now, Momiji will definitely blame you in the future." ”

As Ouyang Hongye alone took over the right to prepare for the entire enthronement ceremony, he established great prestige in Wangcheng Yongchuan and even the entire demon world, as the righteous brother and important minister of the former king Xueye, and the father-in-law and mentor of the current demon king fox, and now on behalf of Ouyang Yong and Lion Wang Cheng, the two elders have full authority to deal with the affairs of the demon world, so when the guards heard that the girl in front of them dared to call him Hongye, they immediately softened, and after saluting, they decisively let him go.

From the moment she stepped into the Chenji Palace, Xia Qiu was shocked by the red carpet on the central axis and the decoration of the entire palace, there were many busy demon servants in the palace, and some well-dressed demons went in and out or stopped to talk, at first she was still slowly moving forward, and then she took three steps and ran towards the Auxiliary Star Palace.

She ran straight into the courtyard behind the Auxiliary Star Palace, this place was not like other places along the way, it was as calm as yesterday, when she passed by the room where Ouyang Xiaoleng used to live, she found that the doors and windows were locked. She tried to knock on the door a few times but didn't respond, so she had to go to Grandpa Yong, which was still familiar to her, and she could smell the fragrance of tea from a distance, and Ouyang Yong was reading a book on the Luohan bed at this time.

"Grandpa Yong!" Xia Qiu couldn't wait to get into his arms.

Ouyang Yong raised his head suddenly, put down the book in his hand, and looked at it to determine that it was Xia Qiu himself, "Xia Qiu, you are back!" ”

"Hmm!" Xia Qiu nodded and rushed forward, grabbed his hand at once, and saw his kind face again, like a wanderer who had been wandering for many years and finally returned home.

Ouyang Yong held her hand tighter, and his complexion had recovered a lot these days, although it was not as tough as when they first met, but it seemed more kind, and he asked, "Is everything okay?" ”

"Well, everything is fine!" Xia Qiu nodded in response to him.

"Alas, it's a pity that you didn't make it in time to participate in Xiao Leng's enthronement ceremony." Ouyang Yong sighed and said.

"Did the enthronement ceremony go well?" Xia Qiu heard the words of the enthronement ceremony and immediately asked.

"Yes, the current Xiao Leng is the lord of the demon world who has inherited the name of the demon king fox, the real king of the demon world!" Ouyang Yong replied with a smile.

"Great!" Xia Qiu was so excited that she didn't know what to do, her feet wanted to jump, and her voice became choked, it was a joy from the heart, she asked, "What about others?" ”

"He has entered the Yuheng Palace, which is the inner hall of Chenji Palace, and it is also the residence of the previous demon kings, and it has been thoroughly cleaned before and after the enthronement ceremony, and it is also equipped with guards and demon servants, so after the enthronement ceremony, Xiao Leng naturally moved there to live." Ouyang Yong said meaningfully, even if all this has become a reality, it still makes him sigh, he has already seen through Xia Qiu's thoughts, "Go and see him, he has been waiting for you all along." ”

"Well, then I'm ......" Xia Qiu nodded, and stopped talking.

"Let's go!" Ouyang Yong urged.

"Good!" As she spoke, she ran towards the inner hall of Yuheng.

The guards outside the Yuheng Hall are lined up, and they are strictly guarded inside and out, since the enthronement ceremony, except for a few people appointed by Ouyang Xiaoleng and the demon servants assigned to him by Ouyang Hongye, no one is allowed to enter without permission, and Ouyang Hongye is also stationed in it to ensure his safety, so it is extremely difficult to enter inside, but fortunately, Xia Qiu met Ouyang Hongye in front of the door, so he was able to enter smoothly.

I don't know why she said goodbye to Ouyang Yong, she suddenly felt a kind of dazed in her heart, although she had been looking forward to Ouyang Xiaoleng being able to ascend the throne smoothly, but the sudden huge changes in the demon world still made her unexpected, at this time she didn't have the sense of belonging she had in the past, this world that didn't belong to her was now, but now it has become more unfamiliar.

When she saw that Ouyang Hongye somewhat made her hanging heart drop a little, he still smiled charmingly and brightly as usual, squeezed down his tender eyes and said to her: "He has been waiting for you 1"

"Really?" Although Xia Qiu knew that this was the answer she wanted, she still couldn't help but make sure again and again.

"When you see his dejected appearance, you'll believe what I say!"

Ouyang Hongye led her to the back courtyard of the Yuheng Hall where Ouyang Xiaoleng lived, and told her about the ceremony, countless snow lotuses were planted on both sides of the gravel road in the courtyard, and a tall red tree stood in the middle of a snow lotus.

"These snow lotuses were planted for Su Su on a snowy night back then, and that red plum tree was specially moved from his courtyard by Xiao Leng!" Speaking of this, Ouyang Hongye couldn't help but laugh evilly.

That red plum tree had appeared in Ouyang Xiaoleng's dream, and in that dream, Xia Qiu was standing under this tree, these days he often stood under the plum tree like today, his gray-blue pupils were not looking at anything, just looking ahead, like a vast and vast lake.

Ouyang Hongye led Xia Qiu to a place not far from him, then winked at Xia Qiu and walked away, leaving her to walk towards him alone. In fact, she felt that she should run to him, but with each step, her feet became heavier and heavier, and the heaviness came from her complex feelings for him, both happy and painful, sweet and bitter. She came to him step by step, but he didn't react because he missed her, what a reunion scene.

"Little Cold ......"

He couldn't be sure if it was all real or just a dream until she gently called out his name, and he turned his face hesitantly, the white clothes that set off his sadness, and people couldn't help but be heartbroken. He looked at it carefully, as if he still couldn't believe his eyes, wasn't this a hallucination? He thought to himself that he had had hallucinations like that more than once these days, that she had suddenly appeared in front of him, always looking at him with a smile on her face, no matter what she had been through.

He didn't care so much, he strode in front of her, stretched out his hand to touch her hair, her cheeks, her shoulders, when his hands felt her temperature, his heart confirmed her truth, and then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her into his arms, he had been brewing for this hug for these days, just worried that he would not be able to express his feelings well, and he would hesitate when he saw her.

It wasn't until the moment he hugged him tightly that Xia Qiu's heart completely relaxed, his embrace was warmer than in memory, so that she was melted whole, and all the uneasiness and tiredness, including tears, were released from her body, but he hugged it too tightly, making her a little breathless.

"I'm almost out of breath." She reached out and patted him on the back, whispering, a slight choked voice.

Ouyang Xiaoleng reacted at this time, reluctantly slowly let go of his arm, and then began to carefully observe her face, she looked very tired, and there was still some dust on her cheeks and clothes. He imagined that she must have been lonely and frightened to walk so far alone in a world that did not belong to her, but he could not find these emotions on her face. There were tears in her eyes, but there was still a smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened. His heart was pricked because of this, and her strength made him feel distressed, and that kind of heartache was something he had never felt before, and it was something he could not describe and explain.

"What happened after we left? The Feather Crane Immortal didn't embarrass you, did he? Ouyang Xiaoleng asked while gently helping Xia Qiu wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"No, the Feathered Crane Immortal is actually very kind and simple, and he has been looking for memories of his past. According to him, when he woke up on the island of eternal life a long, long time ago, he had the Celestial Talisman with him, and the Celestial Talisman was inextricably linked to him and the vitality of the island. He wasn't lying, during this time, there was no Celestial Rune on Immortal Island, he became weaker and weaker, and the plants on the island began to die one after another. I think he knew it was going to happen, and he just didn't want to die alone. ”

"Then ......" Ouyang Xiaoleng listened to Xia Qiu's words, and guessed that the Yuhe Immortal was more auspicious than usual, otherwise how could she come back.

"He's still alive, I convinced him! I want to ask Teacher Dong Muya for help, if there are no books about his past recorded in the Demon Realm, then there may be a database in the basement of Ouyang Ancient Mansion, because we also deciphered the exact location of the Earth Talisman and the Heavenly Talisman through the information there, so I must rush back to Ouyang Ancient Mansion immediately. Xia Qiu guessed the reason why Ouyang Xiaoleng wanted to speak and stopped, so she hurriedly explained to him the real reason why she could come back.

"Then I'll go with you." Ouyang Xiao said coldly without thinking.

"It's okay, the enthronement ceremony has just ended, there must be a lot of things to do here, I'll just go back by myself, and I should go home too." Xia Qiu thought about her grandparents from the bottom of her heart, and she hadn't seen them for a long time, and she even began to miss her father's voice.

Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't help but show a lonely and sad expression, thinking of this period of time, dealing with the people around him like a machine every day, and finally waiting for Xia Qiu to come back, but to be separated from her again, even if it was a short time, it made him feel painful, if it was before, he would definitely cover up the past with silence, but at this moment, facing her, he didn't want to resist at all.

Seeing the thoughts on his face, Xia Qiu posed for an interview and asked, "Interview, what is the mood of being on the throne just now?" ”

He was immediately amused by her actions, a rare faint smile bloomed on his face, and he suddenly sighed that since he met her, how many expressions had been added to his face that he had not had before, and how many emotions had been added to his heart that he had not had before.

She patted him on the shoulder again exaggeratedly and said, "Okay, okay, you have to prepare how to answer me during the time I go back." ”

Both of them laughed, all the sentimentality disappeared with the laughter, a gust of wind blew, and the red plum petals fell with the wind, one of which happened to fall on Xia Qiu's hair, Ouyang Xiaoleng reached out to help her take it away, and when he met her gaze, he couldn't help but lower his head and put his face close to her, and then put his forehead and hers together. If it weren't for the matter of the Feather Crane Immortal, Xia Qiu really wished that time could stop at this moment, but she knew that there were more important things waiting for her.
