Chapter 34: The Jealousy of the Tanuki
When Ziyu and Ling Sushuang returned to the inn together, Ji Liuhuo and Tanuki had not yet slept, and when they heard the movement in Ziyu's house, Tanuki hurriedly went to see it, and Ji Liuhuo went to Ling Sushuang's house.
Although it was night, the inside of Ziyu's house was extremely bright, and when one of the raccoons walked in, he saw a trembling white plush mass in the far corner of the bed in the room, while Ziyu was lying on the side with her head bowed and didn't know what she was doing, but from time to time she poked the white with her hand.
Tanuki looked behind Zi Yu for a while, but Zi Yu didn't look up at him, so he couldn't help frowning, leaned forward, and said, "Xiao Yu'er, what are you doing?" ”
Zi Yu didn't raise her head when she heard it: "I'm busy." ”
Tanuki looked behind Ziyu and couldn't see clearly, but he saw that the white dumpling in the corner seemed to be shaking even more, and he couldn't help but step forward curiously, supporting the bed with one hand and grabbing the white dumpling with the other.
Bai Tuanzi Arnold felt that something was wrong after Tanuki came in, he had not felt the cultivation in Zi Yu and Ling Sushuang before, and he didn't understand why he was transformed back to his original form by Zi Yu, but he was still struggling to break through the shackles that Zi Yu had set in his body, recover his demonic power and escape.
Before he could break through the shackles, Ziyu took him into an inn.
Ever since he entered this inn, Arnold had sensed a demonic power that seemed to be absent, and although it was only a tiny trace of it, it was already so powerful that Arnold was terrified.
That demon power, he had felt it in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, if it was not wrong, it should have come from the demon king Tanuki.
At first, Arnold thought that Ziyu brought him here because the demon king was here, and she wanted to hand herself over to the demon king to deal with, and also thought that maybe the demon king remembered him and could spare his life for the sake of his suffering.
But who knew that Ziyu didn't take him to see the demon king, but took him to the next room where the demon king was, and then threw him aside, lowering his head and not knowing what he was doing.
Arnold regained a little strength at that time, so he thought about sneaking away while Ziyu was not checking, but every time he carefully climbed to the side of the bed and wanted to go down, he would be grabbed by Ziyu accurately and thrown back into the bed again.
His strength had only recovered slightly, and after three or four repetitions, he had no strength, so he had to shrink into the corner of the bed.
And Ziyu ignored him at first, and after a while, seeing that he was still cowering in the corner of the bed, she couldn't help but reach out and poke him, and then poke again. He was a little annoyed, but he was also a goblin who had cultivated for more than a thousand years, but now he fell into the hands of a little girl, and he was bullied again and again, which really hurt his dignity as a demon.
Just when Arnold was so angry that he wanted to meow, he suddenly felt the breath of the demon king slowly approaching. He was so frightened that he looked towards the place where the demon power was, only to see a red shadow appear at the door, and then walked towards the house.
Arnold turned around in fright, and tried harder to shrink himself into a ball and stay in the corner of the bed, but the demonic power that was getting closer and closer was so powerful that he trembled uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the demonic power stopped near the bed and did not come any closer, and the room was extremely quiet. Although Arnold was very curious about what was going on behind him, he never dared to look back.
I don't know how long later, Arnold suddenly heard a male voice coming from behind him, as if talking to the little girl lying next to him. The male voice Arnold had heard it a long time ago, and he remembered that in the first thousand years of his cultivation as a demon, he had gone to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain with a group of demon clans to register his name and worship the demon king.
And this male voice is exactly the same as the voice of the demon king at that time.
If the man behind him was really the demon king, according to the level of familiarity with the man talking to the little girl beside him, his fate would probably be miserable.
Before Arnold could think about it, he suddenly noticed that the aura was approaching him, and he couldn't help but cry out in fright, and immediately had the strength to escape.
It's just that before he could jump out of the corner, he was already picked up by the demon king.
I saw the raccoon frowning tightly, and staring at the white cat in his hand with big eyes, until the white cat in front of him closed his eyes and seemed to faint in fright before he laughed contentedly.
Ziyu finally finished the thing in his hand at this time, and was about to put it on Arnold's neck, but found that Arnold, who should have shrunk in the corner honestly, was lying in the arms of the raccoon dog at this time, closing his eyes tightly as if he had experienced great fright.
"Stinky Tanuki, you've scared my cat!" Ziyu instantly realized what was happening, and hurriedly reached out to take Arnold back from the raccoon dog's arms, "You quickly put away your demon energy, Arnold is just a kitten demon and can't stand your intimidation." ”
Tanuki Zhi was stunned, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he still put away the demon power as he said, sat on the edge of the bed obediently, and watched Ziyu carefully put a chain on Arnold.
The chain was extremely delicate, and a small bell fell from the end. The raccoon had good eyes and could clearly see the name of the white cat engraved on the bell: Arnold.
"This cat demon is called Arnold?" The raccoon eyes looked at Zi Yu with a blank look, and when he saw that Zi Yu ignored him, he couldn't help but say sourly: "You got a name for him?" It's ugly. ”
"No, this cat demon was called Arnold when I captured it." Zi Yuxiang pretended to glare at the raccoon dog angrily, and then wanted to pass on some aura for Arnold.
Seeing this, Tanuki hurriedly stopped Ziyu: "I stunned him, and I passed on the aura for him." As he spoke, he had already cast a spell to transfer some spiritual power into Arnold's body.
Zi Yu was happy that someone would do this for her, and her mood suddenly improved a lot when she saw Tanuki doing this.
Seeing that Zi Yu's face seemed to be better, Tanuki began to try to talk to Zi Yu: "Where did this cat demon come from?" ”
"Catched." Ziyu said casually.
The raccoon dog did not give up, and asked, "Do you want to raise him?" ”
Ziyu blinked her eyes as if she was thinking for a while: "Probably." ”
Tanuki took back the hand that gave Arnold his spiritual power, took Arnold away from Ziyu's arms, and looked at the bell around Arnold's neck and was even more unhappy: "What's so good about this cat demon, the hair is not as soft as mine, it is not as good-looking as me, and its ability is not as big as mine." Tanuki rubbed beside Ziyu and struggled to squeeze out a smile: "Did you let him go?" ”
"No matter how good you are, you can't be my pet." Ziyu refused without hesitation.
"But I ...... I"
"I'll just have Arnold's pet, just one." Ziyu interrupted Tanuki's words, pouted aggrievedly and begged with one of Tanuki's hands, "Tanuki, I've always been very envious of the friendship between Suzaku Shenjun and you, will you let me raise Arnold?" ”
Tanuki felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to refuse, and after a long time, he just said: "Actually, you don't have to envy the friendship between Suzaku Shenjun and me." ”
Tanuki Zhi's eyes were a little evasive when he said this, if Ziyu was careful, he would definitely be able to see the sadness hidden in Tanuki's eyes.
But Ziyu didn't care so much at this time, she was full of satisfaction, and she thought that Tanuki agreed to her raising Arnold.
Zi Yu happily hugged Arnold, who had just woken up, from the arms of the raccoon dog: "Tanuki, you can say hello to my Arnold." ”
Arnold was relieved to see that he was being held by Ziyu, but Ziyu's words made him frightened again, and he called several meows in a row.
But Ziyu couldn't understand Arnold's words, but Tanuki, although he understood, but looking at Ziyu's peachy smiling face, he didn't say anything.
It's impossible just to ask him to say hello. Tanuki couldn't hold back the overwhelming discomfort in his heart, took out the jade porcelain bottle that he used to hold nectar water from his sleeve, got up and put it on the table next to the bed: "This nectar water melts the antidote that Nansu has prepared for you, remember to restore the body when you fall asleep, and soak the body in this water." ”
"Can't you just drink it? Why is it so troublesome? Ziyu asked.
"You have broken the original by giving up the petals, only by soaking in this nectar water and absorbing it little by little can you completely nourish your body." Tanuki said slowly, "As for your cat, I'll take care of it for you these few nights." ”
Ziyu did not doubt that he had him, rubbed Arnold, and despite his various resistances, he forcefully gave Arnold to Tanuki, which was said to be a good relationship between Arnold and the biggest financier.
After Ziyu recovered and soaked in nectar water, Tanuki put the jade porcelain bottle on the table, said goodnight to him, and then carried Arnold back to the room.
After returning to the room, the face of the raccoon suddenly turned cold, and Arno was also very interested, and immediately jumped out of the raccoon dog's arms after entering the room, and squatted on the ground honestly.
Tanuki pressed his temples, sat down in the room casually and raised his hand to explain the trick on the bell for Arnold, his eyes closed slightly, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to be mixed with ice: "Give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, I don't mind killing you." ”
Arnold, who had recovered his human form, trembled in fright after hearing this, and hurriedly told Tanuki about today's events word for word, seeing that the face of Tanuki in front of him was getting worse and worse, Arnold said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Arnold has no intention of being Princess Ziyu's pet." ”
Arnold remembered that the most hostile time for him was when Ziyu said that he would take him as a pet, so he said this and wanted to gamble.
Fortunately, he was right, although Tanuki's complexion did not change after hearing his words, the air pressure in the room finally rose slightly.
Arnold didn't dare to be careless, and saw that Tanuki didn't mean to ask, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the king still remembers that a hundred years ago in the palace of the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the little cat demon who accidentally collided with the king?" ”
Tanuki didn't speak, he naturally remembered the little demon. At that time, the little demon didn't see it, touched his scales, he originally wanted to kill him, but he was moved by his words before he died, and finally let the little demon live.
Tanuki opened his eyes and looked at the cat demon kneeling in front of him. The face of the cat demon slowly merged with the face of the little demon in my memory, and if I think about it carefully, it seems that the little demon is also called Arnold.
Arnold saw that the face of the raccoon dog finally loosened a little, and hurriedly said: "The king, it is the cat demon from below. ”
