After the final exams, the winter break officially began, but this winter, summer, and autumn holidays were unsurprisingly deprived. She still went to Ouyang Hongye's ancient mansion every day to assist Dong Muya, or learned knife skills and fighting skills with Ouyang Hongye.

As a mentor, Ouyang Hongye completely lost his usual pleasant face, and was even stricter than Ouyang Yong and Mochizuki, and his requirements for her were no different from when he taught Ouyang Xiaoleng in the past, because he felt that the softer he was at the moment, the more he would leave hidden dangers in actual combat.

Xia Qiu also understood Ouyang Hongye's good intentions, so no matter how harsh his requirements were, she gritted her teeth and survived. She didn't have much contact with fighting skills before, because the skills mastered by Ouyang Yong and Mochizuki were too demanding of strength and not very suitable for her, but Ouyang Hongye had a set of fighting skills suitable for her, this set of skills was somewhat similar to Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi, borrowing strength to fight, one or two thousand gold, this technique pays more attention to a kind of integration of people and all things in heaven and earth, no matter what kind of moves the other party uses, the rhythm of their own moves and counterattacks will never be disrupted is the key to victory.

Due to the improvement of her demonic power, her body is more sensitive, whether it is hearing, sight, touch, or even the ability to predict danger in advance, it will be directly reflected on the movements made by her body, which greatly enhances her ability to dodge attacks in battle. Mei Jian would still appear in her dreams from time to time, to regulate her qi or to help her brush up on knife techniques in her sleep.

Ouyang Xiaoleng occasionally came to Ouyang Ancient Mansion to meet her, but it was Qianqi who came more often, although after meeting on the day of the final exam, the relationship between her and Ouyang Xiaoleng was eased, but she always felt that there seemed to be some kind of change between them, and she had to comfort herself that maybe it was because too much had happened in the demon world recently that he had become a little neurotic.

Qianqi always sat quietly and watched Xia Qiu receive training from Ouyang Hongye, sometimes taking the initiative to be her opponent, and when she went to the underground database, he would follow to do some errands or hard work.

Dong Muya saw it in her eyes, she was secretly anxious, and when Qianqi was not there for a day, she couldn't help but remind Ouyang Xiaoleng: "If you don't care about it, Xia Qiu will soon be snatched away by Qianqi!" ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng has been worried that the voice will sound in his head again every time he is with Xia Qiu when he is seriously injured, he misses her, but he doesn't dare to see her, and when he sees her, he is always worried, and this kind of contradiction and the chaos in the demon world make him breathless.

But at this time, Dong Muya analyzed the great possibility of Chi Mire as Qingyun's hideout, not to mention the responsibility of being the demon king fox, even if it was for the blood feud with Qingyun, he had to bear the brunt of the fire city. According to the results of the discussion between the two elders of the Demon Realm, Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng, as well as Ouyang Hongye, he could not go alone, but with Qianqi and Xia Qiu.

The thought of him being like a time bomb around Xia Qiu during the long journey made him feel bottomless, but he couldn't confide this distress to others.

Thankfully, what he feared didn't happen along the way, and after reaching the desert leading to Chimeir, they bought three sand camels and clothes to block UV rays. The material of this kind of clothing is somewhat similar to the cotton and linen in the world, and it is slightly thicker than cotton and linen, and the upper body is a pullover style with a long sleeve and a hat, and when the hat is lifted, most of the face will be blocked tightly, and the lower body is a trouser that is convenient for riding a sand camel, and the trousers are slightly thin and can be tucked into the boots. Xia Qiu originally thought that wearing such heavy clothes would definitely be very hot, but what she didn't expect was that this dress also had the function of regulating the temperature, and wearing it made her feel much cooler.

Armed with them, they crossed the desert all the way to the city of Fire, Chi Rumir, and managed to find the entrance to the dungeon, where it was easy to be suspicious if they did not appear to be gold prospectors, so they also pretended to be gold diggers and stayed in an inn called the Foreigners.

Before she set out, Xia Qiu was told that it was dangerous to be a woman in the dungeon of Chi Rumir, as all the women here were doing the same job, and she would naturally be a part of it. So when she set off from Wangcheng, she disguised herself as a man, her slender and slender body was very compatible with men's clothing, and the small braids on her head like Mochizuki were a little exotic, and there was a folding fan pinned to her waist, which made her even more handsome.

When they checked into the hotel, the gerbil demon shopkeeper of the hotel stared at them for a long time, and then sighed, "You came to pan for gold at such a young age?!" ”

"In order to become a big man with a lot of money as soon as possible!" Qianqi said with a wink at him.

"Haha, young people have quite ideas! There are no single rooms left, only a triple room, so why don't you just take a break? The gerbil demon flipped back and forth on the registration book a few times, then looked up and asked.

Xia Qiu was inconvenient to speak, so he only covered the lower half of his face with a folding fan, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Other hotels are also overcrowded, and the room for two people is eager for eight people to be crowded inside, and everyone is willing to pay the same money, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire! It's a coincidence that you're in a hurry, someone on the front foot just retreated from that room, otherwise there wouldn't even be this room! Seeing their hesitation, the gerbil demon shopkeeper added.

Xia Qiu nodded to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, they understood.

"Okay, we're going to have this one!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said.

"Okay!" The gerbil demon shopkeeper drew a stroke on the registration book while responding.

At this time, a few lodging monsters walked in, and before they could speak, they were sent away by the shopkeeper's wave, "Let's go, let's go, we're already full here!" ”

"What?! It's full here, too?! ”

The monsters had no choice but to complain and walk out, Xia Qiu secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate to have made a quick decision, otherwise they would have to sleep in the open this night.

In the dungeon, the people who have the most information are probably the women in the Fengyue place, they receive all kinds of guests every day, and it is easy to get a lot of words out of the guests' mouths, Ouyang Hongye also said that they are the best starting point in this city.

But this made it difficult for a few teenagers, they didn't know how to deal with those women, and after nightfall, they hesitated again and again before they made up their minds to walk into the street full of lights, and they were dumbfounded again in the face of the various means of throwing their arms and hugging the women who solicited customers, and finally walked into the Huaichun Pavilion with a slightly elegant name.

The greeting is called Qingqing, a bewitching woman with a water snake waist, with heavy makeup on her face, her eyes are a little drunk, and her body also exudes the smell of wine. When she saw three teenagers wandering in front of the shops, overwhelmed, she noticed them, because it was rare to see such young and handsome customers as them. She fell in love with Xia Qiu, the thinnest of the three, at a glance, in her eyes, he did not have the shadow of a demon, elegant with a little green, as if he captured her heart and aroused her motherhood at once. She felt that if she didn't know him, she would definitely regret it for life, so she rushed forward and grabbed him with three steps and two steps through the wine.

Xia Qiu was startled by her at first, but quickly calmed down again, and looked at the woman in front of her, who seemed to be of a similar age to her, willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, pointed chin, and slender waist were so weak and pitiful, especially the half-cut white lotus-like jade hand exposed outside the lotus sleeves of the long robe, which reminded her of her friend Liu Lingmei in the world when she pulled her.

After they followed her into the Huaichun Pavilion, they were facing a screen, on which were painted a few plump beauties, behind the screen there was a counter, which connected a long and narrow aisle, on both sides of the aisle was a partition with curtains, and from time to time there came the sound of the piano, singing, laughing, and some sounds that made the three teenagers blush.

They were introduced into one of the partitions by Qingqing, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a foreign fragrance came to the nose, and in the lingering aroma, the layers of cyan gauze curtains with bamboo mats collapsed, like the abode of fairies.

Qingqing served them and retreated, and the three teenagers breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, not knowing what to do next.

"Momiji said that as long as there is no such partition, nothing strange will happen." Xia Qiu was comforting Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, and she was also comforting herself.

"Well, let's do it when we get the chance!" Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded and said.

After a while, Qingqing and the other two girls turned back, and they took the food and wine from the delicate tray they held in their hands and placed them on the table, and then they each chose to sit down beside one of them according to the rules.

Qingqing naturally took the brunt of the position next to Xia Qiu, she was already used to dealing with all kinds of male animals, this time she was inexplicably a little shy, she leaned on Xia Qiu's body gently, silently poured her a glass of wine, and then saluted her affectionately.

Seeing that Xia Qiu's body was stiff and slightly restrained, she asked shyly, "Is it the first time that little brother has come to this kind of place?" ”

Xia Qiu nodded silently, took the wine glass she handed over, and drank the wine in the glass. She remembered that the last time she drank demon wine was during the New Year's celebration in the demon world, she and Ouyang Xiaoleng crowded on the stalls in the shopping street, drinking warm demon wine, and later saw incomparably gorgeous fireworks on the observation deck.

Qingqing skillfully filled her with another glass of wine, and continued to ask: "Little brother is really good at drinking, why did he come to pan for gold at such a young age." ”

Xia Qiu was afraid that she would show her feet as soon as she opened her mouth, and was hesitating, Ouyang Xiaoleng played a round for her, he put the cup in his hand to Qingqing and said: "We are all orphans, we have no relatives and no reason in this demon world, we have depended on each other since we were young, and we want to save some money while we are young!" ”

Qingqing picked up the cup in front of him and touched him, and then accompanied him to drink the wine in the cup and said, "A few little brothers are really bold!" ”

"But it's not a good wine!" Qianqi also relaxed a little, and sighed on the side.

"Oh? The little brother is not satisfied with this wine? The girl who sat beside Qianqi and called Ye asked with a turn of her eyes, thinking that these hairy boys must have no money and pick and choose, so they hurriedly sent it away.

"Bring us the best wine, don't care about the price!" Qianqi untied the bulging money bag from his waist, took out a gold ingot from it, and said.

As soon as he saw the bright gold, Ye Zi became more and more enthusiastic, and hated himself in his heart for not knowing Taishan, while responding "Yes, yes!" He put away the ingot of gold and withdrew, and in a moment brought out the old wine from the town shop.

After a few cups and cups, the girls' chatterbox was also opened, Ouyang Xiaoleng glanced at Xia Qiu and Qianqi, and began to cut into the true purpose of their trip, asking, "Is there anything unusual about this dungeon recently?" ”

Qingqing thought for a while and replied: "If you want to say something unusual, I really remembered one!" Some time ago, there were suddenly more people in the city who could not tell their origins, and they did not want to pan for gold, but rented an inn in the east of the city, and no one knew what they did. ”

When Ye Zi heard this, he continued with her words: "Yes, yes, the inn and the other hotels are not on the same street, because they are opened separately, so the business was not very good in the past." Every time I saw the boss, I heard him complaining that he couldn't make any money, but as soon as the man came, he spent a lot of money on his shop. In the past, the boss was reluctant to come to visit us once in a few months, but recently he has come almost every night, which shows how much he has earned. ”

Qianqi toasted the girl who had just spoken with a glass of wine, and said, "That's really interesting! ”

He and Ouyang Xiaoleng have been trying their best to block the wine for Xia Qiu, and then use their demonic power to release the wine they drank out of their bodies through the blood vessels and pores, so that they have a thousand cups of water without getting drunk, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to say more.

"As soon as we heard that there were such nobles in the dungeon, we waited every day that they would take care of our business, but guess what? They've rarely come out of that hotel since they stayed in it, let alone come to visit us, and we don't know what they're doing in it! Qingqing was obviously a little too drunk and complained loudly.

Things went far more smoothly than the teenagers imagined, and this trip to Huaichun Pavilion targeted the hotel in the east of the city, and before they left, they gave Qingqing and the other two girls a gold ingot, and promised to see them again.

Qingqing was reluctant to give up Xia Qiu, and she didn't know why she was so fascinated by the young man in front of her, compared to those guests who only wanted to take advantage of her, he was indeed different.
