Ouyang Xiaoleng returned to his home next to the Yongchuan Forest, the old house called Ouyang Ancient Mansion was surrounded by a huge barrier, and it was difficult for outsiders to find its location.

The unique pavilions in the courtyard, the rockeries piled up with stones in Taihu Lake, the small bridges connected with the winding paths, and the gurgling water...... It still maintains the appearance of when it was first built hundreds of years ago, and the exotic flowers and plants are blooming out of place due to the demon law, showing the beauty of purple and red as much as they can.

The main structure of the house is built on a stone base raised above the ground, and the living room has a large glass door that opens to a platform that connects to the courtyard, with the end of the pond below. The living room is decorated with historical mahogany furniture, the surrounding walls are covered with old calligraphy and paintings and a few swords, and a precious guqin is quietly placed in the corner of the room. All this is in stark contrast to the few appliances that exist abruptly in this space, no matter how you look at it, it feels incongruous.

Ouyang Xiaoleng's adoptive father, Ouyang Hongye, was sitting in front of the coffee table, switching the TV channel quickly without purpose, and when he saw Ouyang Xiaoleng walking in, he turned off the TV.

Yesterday's attack on Xia Qiu in the forest had become Ouyang Hongye's heart disease, and Xia Qiu, as the best candidate to sign a blood alliance with Xiao Leng, was extremely important to him and the entire demon world. He arranged for Ouyang Xiaoleng to go to Yongchuan High School so that he had a chance to get close to Xia Qiu, he thought that the matter of signing the blood alliance could be done slowly, but now it seems that he has to speed up the pace.

"When will you be able to explain everything to Xia Qiu?" Ouyang Hongye asked bluntly.

"I don't know."

Ouyang Xiaoleng was still avoiding this question as usual, he didn't want to involve Xia Qiu in the war in his own world, how could he let the fragile human beings share his responsibility? Especially Xia Qiu, even though the Demon King Crown in his body would have a strong reaction that he had never felt before every time he approached her, he still tried his best to suppress it.

"Alas, you also know that that person's subordinates seem to have been active in the demon world and the human world recently, and Mochizuki and Mu Ya have also launched investigations in the demon world and the human world respectively. As the child of the snowy night, the only descendant of the demon king fox, you must make a choice, sit back and wait for our world to be destroyed by that person. Ouyang Hongye said as he got up from his chair and walked to Xiao Leng's side, patting him on the shoulder as he passed by, "You don't have to go to school tomorrow, go directly to Wangcheng, Lord Yong has something to look for you." ”

Xia Qiu was still thinking about Ouyang Xiaoleng's appearance in front of her house the day before, he obviously seemed to be waiting for her, but when he saw her, he avoided her, which made her puzzled.

In her opinion, Ouyang Xiaoleng today is also different from before, his eyes and expression are much softer, especially when he saw her in the morning, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. In the past, the unapproachable aura around his body could not be felt, which was a good thing, but she felt something awkward. His attraction to Xia Qiu even began to surpass those ancient legends of Yongchuan, and his elusiveness fascinated her even more.

As soon as the school bell rang, Ouyang Xiaoleng was the first to get up and walk outside the classroom, and when he passed Xia Qiu's desk, he knocked his fingers on her desk intentionally or unintentionally. His actions made Xia Qiu feel like a ghost, and he just wanted to follow him to see where he was sacred.

She kept some distance from him and followed him, and although his steps were often light, he seemed to slow down a little every time she felt like she was going to be left behind. In this way, she followed him unconsciously to a path not far from the Yongchuan Forest.

The road, which is more like a gap between two buildings that are close to each other, is getting narrower and narrower, until later it can only be passed sideways...... She had to slow down, and when she looked up again, there was no trace of Ouyang Xiaoleng. I didn't know how long I walked, and finally came to a clearing surrounded by dense green trees on all sides. Facing her was a high stone wall and a black gate, she stepped forward, only to see the wooden sign on one side of the gate with the word "Ouyang" written on it, guessing that this should be Xiao Leng's home.

She had never known that there would be such a place in Yongchuan, and unlike what she had imagined, the seemingly heavy door began to open inward with only a slight touch, although she still made a few symbolic knocks. The person standing in the door was not Xiao Leng, but a man who looked older than her, with a face like a peach blossom, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a long black bun with a blue hairband loosely tied up on one side of his chest, very handsome. The red cardigan he wore was a style that did not belong to this century, with only a belt around his waist, and the delicately embroidered fluff at the hem of the kaftan was scattered on the ground.

"Little girl, are you making a mistake?" The man asked with a smile in his eyes, a little lazy in his voice.

"Hello, I am Ouyang Xiaoleng's classmate, my name is Xia Qiu." Xia Qiu, who was holding her breath because of nervousness just now, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the yard as soon as she spoke.

"Oh? You're Xia Qiu, come in! The man welcomed Xia Qiu into the courtyard, and continued as he led her inside, "I am Xiao Leng's adoptive father, Ouyang Hongye. ”

Xia Qiu thought that it was really a person as his name suggested, he had never seen anyone with such a posture as Ouyang Hongye, and when he walked forward, the red robe gently swayed backwards with the wind, just like the same red leaves circling and falling, so elegant and elegant. But what made her sigh was much more than that, when she was in the courtyard of Ouyang's house, it was like walking into a dream, the beauty here was comparable to the Suzhou garden in the album, but it added a bit of fairy spirit.

Ouyang Hongye kept bringing Xia Qiu to the living room, invited her to sit down, and then opened the glass door of the living room, and the fragrance of flowers outside the house instantly poured into the room. He took a cup from the coffee table and handed it to Xia Qiu, lifted the teapot and poured fragrant tea for her, and then sat opposite her and looked at her carefully. After sending Ouyang Xiaoleng away early this morning, he transformed himself into his appearance and came to the school, in order to quietly lead Xia Qiu to Ouyang Ancient Mansion, he had to use extraordinary means.

"May I ask what about Ouyang Xiaoleng?"

Xia Qiu was a little strange why Ouyang Xiaoleng was not here, and being alone with his adoptive father Ouyang Hongye made her somewhat embarrassed. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and a breeze blew in, carrying the fragrance of flowers in the yard and the aroma of that cup of tea, which penetrated into her every nerve, and her vision began to be a little blurred, and her consciousness became more and more blurred.

"He should be upstairs to change his clothes, he'll be down soon"

Ouyang Hongye's voice sounded so distant in Xia Qiu, and gradually began to be unable to catch it, and she completely lost her intuition.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the coolness felt by her body made Xia Qiu wake up, she slowly opened her eyes, and then startled. She was suspended in the air, and her hand was led by Ouyang Hongye to fly higher and higher to the sky above the Ouyang family courtyard. Only then did she realize that the entire courtyard of the Ouyang family was surrounded by a translucent net woven like silk rope.

"Am I dreaming? What are those? She couldn't help but ask.

"The ones that look like big nets are called barriers, and their purpose is to make it impossible for outsiders to find the location of the courtyard. Also in this enchantment is the Black Fire Purgatory, you see where the red light is located, and in it is sealed the demon who has seriously destroyed the order of the Three Realms of Humans, Gods and Demons for tens of thousands of years. To put it simply, it was like a prison for humanity, where the mighty and evil demons were imprisoned, suspended in cages, burned by the blazing lava underground, until the moment of their destruction. ”

Xia Qiu was still wondering if she was dreaming again, but if it was, it would feel too real. Although she didn't quite understand what Ouyang Hongye said, she thought of the nightmare she had three days ago when she fell asleep in the Yongchuan Forest, and the terrifying world she saw in the underground cracks in that dream was exactly the same as his description of the Black Fire Purgatory. She had been expecting to find evidence that those monster legends were not groundless, but when they actually arrived, she was a little confused.

"Telling you this all of a sudden must be unacceptable, right? These words should have been told to you by Xiao Leng! Ouyang Hongye saw the blankness in Xia Qiu's eyes, but had to continue, "I'm not a human, but a red-haired demon fox, Xiao Leng is the same as me." We are from the Demon World King City, which is also called Yongchuan, and is connected to the world by a two-life corridor, I wonder if you have heard the legend about the road to the demon world in the Yongchuan forest? ”

Xia Qiu nodded, Ouyang Hongye's tone didn't sound like a joke, not to mention that if he was a human being, how could he fly in the air with himself out of the earth's gravity, she decided to continue listening to him.

"Xiao Leng's grandfather was originally the Silver Fox Divine Monarch who guarded the edge of the divine realm, just because he has always longed for everything in the human world and often goes to the human world privately. Originally, his actions were not allowed, but the punishment of the Lord of the Divine Realm, Qiansu, after learning about it, was somewhat unexpected. He sent him to the Demon Realm to become the Lord of the Demon Realm, the Demon King Fox, and ordered him to be in charge of the key to the Black Fire Purgatory Gate for generations, the Demon King's Crown. Each Demon King Fox must find the human beings selected by the gods to communicate with his heart, and sign a blood covenant with him, only the blood covenant can awaken the huge divine power of the Silver Fox Divine Monarch that still exists in the Demon King Fox's body, and the human beings who sign the blood alliance will also unseal the power given by Qiansu. ”

Ouyang Hongye was talking, but a huge demonic aura instantly approached the ground, Ouyang Xiaoleng came back much earlier than he imagined, it seems that Lord Yong and Mochizuki failed to keep him for the night in the Demon Realm King City as originally planned.

"Momiji, you're meddling in my business again!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said angrily.

He had already had a premonition that Ouyang Hongye had sent him to the Demon Realm King City to see Grandpa Yong, but he never thought that he would directly bring Xia Qiu to Ouyang Ancient Mansion anyway. Thinking that he was fooled by Ouyang Hongye made him angry, the irrepressible demonic power caused silver-white flames to burst out around his body, his hair also completely turned silver-white, a pair of fox ears appeared on the top of his head, and a pure silver sword appeared in his hand.

Ouyang Hongye knew that making a move with Ouyang Xiaoleng in the air was likely to hurt Xia Qiu, so he took Xia Qiu and fell to the ground, Ouyang Xiaoleng also followed, and the three of them landed almost at the same time.

Xia Qiu saw such a scene for the first time, Ouyang Hongye's body also began to change, fox ears also grew on the top of his head, and his black hair gradually turned red. The red cyclone generated around his body and Ouyang Xiaoleng's silver cyclone were constantly colliding, with a scorching heat as if they might explode at any time.

"Xia Qiu, you go back to the house first!"

Ouyang Hongye let go and took Xia Qiu's hand and said, and a red-handled sword conjured up in his hand at the same time. But what he didn't expect was that this seemingly weak human girl suddenly stood in front of him and Ouyang Xiaoleng, if it was another human being, he would have turned around and fled in fright or lost consciousness when he saw them, but he didn't feel a trace of fear in her.

"Isn't that the one who brought me here?" Xia Qiu didn't know why Ouyang Xiaoleng was angry.

"Me?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng was just about to ask rhetorically, but he suddenly reacted to what was going on.

"I'm sorry, Xia Qiu, I lied to you!" Ouyang Hongye put away the sword in his hand, and turned into Ouyang Xiaoleng's appearance.

This time Xia Qiu was completely stunned, she finally understood why Ouyang Xiaoleng looked different today, although the changed Ouyang Hongye was no different from Ouyang Xiaoleng in appearance, but when they stood together at the same time, they could clearly feel that they had different eyes and aura.

Ouyang Hongye had changed back to his original appearance, and he also felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to do this today, but in the face of an enemy who might come back at any time and Xiao Leng who was unwilling to tell Xia Qiu the truth for a long time, he could only make this decision.

Because of Xia Qiu's obstruction, Ouyang Xiaoleng gradually calmed down, and his body completely returned to the appearance of ordinary people. He knew he had to make a choice now, whether to simply tell Xia Qiu everything or forcibly take her away from here.

"I wonder what the real reason you brought me here is." Xia Qiu said to Ouyang Hongye that she felt that he had taken such great lengths to bring herself here, definitely not just to tell her about these things.

"I want to ask you to become Xiao Leng's Blood Pact Contractor!" Ouyang Hongye replied straightforwardly, not giving Xiao Leng a chance to refute again.

"Me?"

"Yes, that's you! Although you are not the only human who can sign a blood alliance with Xiao Leng, you are the most suitable one. Your fates were linked long before you were born, but you didn't know it, but Little Cool knew about it a long time ago. ”

"That's why he's going to my school?"

"That's what I arranged, and he didn't know about it at first. You met at a very young age, and it was at that time that he felt the choice made by the crown of the demon king in his body. ”

"I'll tell you the rest of the story!"

Ouyang Hongye wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Ouyang Xiaoleng, and he also felt that it would be more appropriate for Xiao Leng to explain the rest of the words to Xia Qiu in person, so he left the two of them alone in the courtyard, and walked away.

Xia Qiu was very concerned about what Ouyang Hongye said that she had met Ouyang Xiaoleng when she was a child, why didn't she have any impression of him? She looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng's face and tried to reminisce, and finally her gaze stayed on his gray-blue eyes, how could she forget these eyes? It was the most beautiful color she had ever seen, and who else could have eyes like that? She suddenly remembered the little fox she had saved when she was six years old, and the door to her memories was opened.

"I once saved a little fox when I was six years old." Xia Qiu blurted out.

"That's right, that's me!"
