Chapter Seventy-Five: Return to the Royal City
Ling Yu has made up his mind, this is the first time he has left Chi Mir City, he has no relatives and no reason, and he is penniless, the expedient measure is to follow the new lord of the demon world in front of him and win his favor. As long as he likes him, everything will be solved, but in order for him to like him, he must temporarily maintain their recognition of his female identity, which is not difficult for him.
He had been in the Fengyue place for so long, and he could not see the affairs between men and women very clearly, and he suddenly realized that Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi both had an extraordinary concern for the human girl Xia Qiu.
recalled that in Huaichun Pavilion, it was clear that she was more bright and moving when she changed into women's clothes, but the eyes of the two teenagers only stayed on Xia Qiu, and they were even more jealous of her. He had to use his wrist to shift Ouyang Xiaoleng's gaze to himself, even if it would hurt that human girl for this, he had to say sorry in his heart. He has been living in the cracks since he was a child, and he will be forced to go to a completely unfamiliar place, where can he have so many good thoughts to take care of others.
He was thinking about the self-proclaimed shadow brother, who had hidden a lot from him, and even told him his name, but he didn't regret that he had turned the dungeon upside down for him, and he himself was displaced because of it. For him as a peacock demon, the dungeon is a huge cage, and he is a caged bird, he has long wanted to fly out to see the outside world, but he has never had the courage to do it, if it wasn't for the big brother who appeared and pushed him, he was afraid that he still suppressed his nature of yearning for freedom.
The world on the ground was novel and beautiful in his eyes, and he was fascinated by the mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, forests, and even the light and shadow on the ground on the demon horse, and he came to the royal city of Yongchuan unconsciously. It was evening, and the demon horse began to slow down and walked along the mountain road towards Chenji Palace. Although he felt that everything was new when he looked at the roadside, everyone was tired from the day and night, and even the talkative Qianqi did not bother to answer the questions he asked.
The four of them entered the Chenji Palace from the main entrance, and before they reached the Auxiliary Star Palace, Ouyang Hongye heard the news and greeted them. Due to the loss of a large amount of his demonic power to Ouyang Xiaoleng, coupled with the fact that he was busy dealing with things in the royal city without a good rest, silver threads were born on his sideburns, and his face was not very good, which made people sigh after seeing it, it was really a pity for this beautiful man.
When he saw that there was another girl coming back with them, he couldn't help but be curious, and Ouyang Xiaoleng first told him what had happened in Chi Mir City. When it came to Mochizuki leaving him alone to fight Yaksha and Rakshasa in order to help them escape, Ouyang Hongye's face showed sadness, and he couldn't think of whether he was right or wrong to let him be a shadow warrior in the first place. In a blink of an eye, the good brothers around him have left him, and only Mochizuki is left, I don't know if it's because he has lived longer and experienced too many things, he has become easily sentimental.
Taking the paper tube that Ouyang Xiaoleng handed him from Mochizuki, he looked at it carefully and asked, "Did he say what this painting might be used for?" ”
"These days, I have been lurking in the hotel under the Qingyun Pack with Brother Shadow, who you call Mochizuki, and I have seen his generals holding the same picture as this one many times, although I don't know how to explain the mystery, but I seem to have vaguely heard Yaksha say that their plans for many years have been realized by it." As soon as Ling Yu heard that this was the time for him to behave, he immediately told what he knew.
"It seems that this picture is not trivial, I will immediately give a copy of it to Muya to investigate, maybe she can come up with an answer. Besides, Yu-sama might know something, maybe he doesn't know! ”
Ouyang Hongye was in an urgent mood, and left in a hurry after speaking, leaving only the four teenagers in place. Xia Qiu was still wilting, looking listless, seeing that there was nothing needed for her in Chenji Palace for the time being, he planned to go back to Ouyang's ancient mansion first.
As soon as Qianqi heard this, he said that he wanted to send her back, although Ouyang Xiaoleng also wanted to accompany her, he was pestered by Lingyu and asked him to take him to visit Chenji Palace, and made up an excuse to tell him what he saw and heard in the hotel in the east, and he had no choice but to reluctantly agree to him staying.
After bathing in Ouyang's ancient mansion in Xia Qiu, he changed into the clean clothes he left there, and his whole person was a little refreshed. Dong Muya made a cup of soothing herbal tea for her, holding it in her hand and bubbling warmly, she stood behind the large glass window in the living room of Ouyang Ancient Mansion, quietly looking at the scenery in the courtyard, only feeling wonderful. Looking out of the window, the outside is as full of spring as ever, and the green seems to have the power to cleanse people's hearts, and the blood that always appears inexplicably in their eyes after escaping from the dungeon seems to have receded.
It was only then that she began to realize that the girl named Que'er had an extraordinary affection for Ouyang Xiaoleng, and he didn't seem to have the intention of refusing, so she felt a little pain in her heart.
As soon as Dong Muya got the picture that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others brought back to the royal city, she began to investigate, and her first reaction to that picture was that it was like a array, with various lines and graphics intricately distributed in the thick circular lines on the periphery, and there were many strange symbols in which she could not decipher for the time being, seemingly chaotic but as if there was some kind of law.
She first thought of the divination arrays used for divination, such as the different divination arrays that need to be used when divining different things with tarot cards. Like the Holy Triangle Divination, the Diamond Divination Array, the Triangular Divination Array, the Hexagram Star Divination Array, the V-shaped Horseshoe Divination Array, the Wine Cup Divination Array and so on.
Next she thought of alchemy, it was not the first time that alchemy and Qingyun had been related, different schools of alchemy would derive different alchemy array diagrams, but none of the diagrams she could collect were as complicated as this one.
She was immersed in comparing the various array diagrams she could find on hand, looking for similarities with this one, and she couldn't remember exactly how long it had been, until the alarm clock on her phone for the day to work went off, and she realized that it was already morning. She had to give up on the image for the time being, and almost unconsciously scanned it into her computer before leaving the underground database.
When she walked up the stairs, she felt that her back was stiff, and there was a feeling of soreness in her thighs and waist.
"You haven't slept all night?"
A familiar and gentle voice sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Ouyang Hongye.
It's rare to see him in Ouyang Gu's Mansion recently, and Dong Muya is a little unaccustomed to him popping up like this, and asks, "Why are you back?" ”
"I haven't been back for a while, and I suddenly want to eat some human food."
Ouyang Hongye naturally pulled Dong Muya to the top of the stairs as he spoke. Although she knew that he definitely didn't come for any food, she couldn't guess Ouyang Hongye's thoughts. It's just that his gentleness never changes with time, and his gentleness carries freedom, and he can be free to retract and release regardless of whether the other party will be bothered by it.
He had already guessed that as soon as he got this picture, Dong Muya would definitely start to seek answers again, and during this time, just looking for clues about Qingyun's hiding place, she was already exhausted, and she hadn't had time to rest for a few days. He felt more and more sorry for him, although the woman in front of him was a human being, she had energy that was beyond the reach of the demon capital.
Where does her energy come from? Is it just a thirst for endless knowledge? He knew it wasn't. Most of all the efforts she had done over the years had been due to him, how could he not know? She burned her youth and life as a human being so short with the fervor of a moth to a flame, and what could he give her back? Not even a word of promise can be spoken.
Walking out of the stairs, it was already slightly bright outside, Dong Muya saw that Ouyang Hongye's temples had white hair, and she suddenly felt distressed and asked, "This is?" ”
"I dissipated too much demonic power for a while, so I can't maintain a young posture for the time being." Ouyang Hongye replied with a faint smile.
"It's fine." Dong Muya actually laughed.
"How?" Ouyang Hongye looked at her puzzled.
"It's finally catching up with me."
Dong Muya thought in her heart: Will I stay a little longer in his life?
After they left in the summer and autumn, Ouyang Xiaoleng was forced to take Lingyu to visit the Chenji Palace. He walked ahead as he froze, and hastily introduced each hall and its function to him. But the girl who is obviously petite and delicate can always catch up with him, and she doesn't see her panting. It had taken them several days to return to the royal city, and he was impressed by her physical strength and energy.
He finally took Lingyu to the Auxiliary Star Palace, preparing to leave him there, and he could go back to the Yuheng Hall to rest, who knew that Lingyu was dead or alive, so he had to live in the Yuheng Hall with him. The first time Ouyang Xiaoleng met such a messy girl, he didn't bother to reason with her too much because he was tired, so he had to follow her wish.
Ling Yu couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that his little plan had succeeded again, and at the same time, he quickly understood Ouyang Xiaoleng's temper, he was not very good at communicating with people, but he had soft ears, as long as he grinded him a few more times in everything, he would always agree even if he was unwilling in his heart. I thought that the human girl would be her rival in love, but she didn't expect that she didn't seem to mind having someone else close to Ouyang Xiaoleng at all, which couldn't be better for him, but it took a lot of effort for his male body to hide.
He had already noticed that Ouyang Xiaoleng always wore the bracelet on his wrist that did not match his outfit very well, the bracelet was made of red and black rope, and there was a silver hanging tag engraved with Ouyang Xiaoleng's name on it, which did not look like anything in this magnificent palace at all.
So he asked casually: "This bracelet is so beautiful, I see that you always carry it, it was given to you by that girl?" ”
Seeing that Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't answer him, but his cold gaze instantly became much gentler, he was sure that he guessed correctly, and he was inexplicably jealous of the bracelet. With a twist of his eyes, he made a plan, used the stealing skills he had cultivated since he was a child, pretended to slip under Ouyang Xiaoleng's feet on the side of the bracelet, and then took the bracelet off his wrist and put it into his sleeve by holding his arm to grasp the balance, his methods were so skillful that Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't even notice it.
Back in the room prepared for him by the demon servant, Ling Yu looked at the bracelet upside down in his hand, with a bright evil smile on his face. I thought that the next day I would find an opportunity to let the human girl see what it would be like to wear this bracelet on her hand, and then push her to the son of the dragon king with developed limbs and a simple mind, although the identity of that person is not as good as the demon king fox, but he is also the only son of the amber dragon king, and he can be regarded as worthy of her.
