Chapter 41: The Gift of the Crown
Shang Jin seemed to hear Mu Ningjiu's slander, and winked at her, her innocent black eyes looked extraordinarily sincere, Mu Ningjiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up and saw a trace of cunning in her eyes, only to realize that she was confused by beauty again.
ββ¦β¦ But it's still vulgar now. She suppressed the inexplicable impulse surging in her heart, cleared her throat, and said:
"Alright, time is running out, let's go first." Ye Shi watched the two disappear in place, but he could only avoid the wicked man, and felt aggrieved in his heart.
Like a cat, she jumped onto the round table, tilted her head and thought for a while, and suddenly approached Zuo Sheng, a pair of brown apricot eyes grabbed his breath. Zuo Sheng was horrified by her, his body unconsciously leaned back, half of his buttocks had moved away from the wooden chair, and he maintained his balance in a weird posture. He took a deep breath, showed a smirk, and said slowly:
"Dominatrix, don't stare at me, I don't have flowers on my face." Just when Zuo Sheng felt that Ye Shi was thinking about what kind of death to give him and was about to escape, the person opposite suddenly hugged his stomach with a "hahahahaha" and smiled backwards. The laughter seemed to be ten times more hearty than that of the man, and he was even a little crazy, but to Zuo Sheng's ears, it was obviously humiliating. The fists in his sleeves clenched tightly.
With a "pop", the table shook, and the air was silent for a moment. At the same time as a fire surged in Ye Shi's heart, he was surprised in his heart: When did this kid become so tough? But the impulse of the moment is not even useful to the clever brain...... Obviously he is a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, and he still wants to provoke me?
Zuo Sheng didn't expect that his good temper on weekdays would be provoked by a few laughs. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and a wave of irritability ran through his chest. He pulled the placket of his clothes, got up with a "boom", and lightly:
"Gone."
A dagger crossed his chest.
"Wait!" Ye Shi gritted his teeth,
"Stinky man, the account hasn't been settled with you yet, don't want to escape! What did you just call me? β
"Fighting and killing all day long, wearing revealing clothes, standing without standing, sitting without sitting, not a dominatrix, what is it?"
Immediately afterwards, a brute force came from the blade, and Ye Shi, who was staying in place, was shocked and retreated. She looked at the bright red on the knife in a daze, along the tip of the knife, slowly dripping to the ground, the hand holding the knife trembled slightly: her knife was as iron as clay, with his insight, it was impossible not to find it. What the hell is this fool doing? There was a sudden strange panic in my heart, accompanied by a faint ache and irritability.
"Smack!" The wooden table was split in half, and she roared in frustration, drew her dagger, and rushed out the door.
β¦β¦
The drizzling rain carried the fragrance of melons and fruits, sprinkled all over the Phantom Clan. The green mountains, the clear streams, and the exquisite attics are all shrouded in a slight rain and mist, like a sleeping dragon, arbitrary and mysterious. At this time, the palace of the Phantom Clan was lit up by the warm orange light, like soft cotton wool, filled with papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows that permeated the slight coolness of spring.
"Xiao Jin, Jiu'er, you're back." Mousse patted Shang Jin's shoulder with a smile and said.
"Uncle." Shang Jin smiled and spoke. Mousse smiled and said, "Why are you still called uncle?" It's time to change your tune......"
"Dad, Ah Jiu and I are back to see you." When Mu Ningjiu heard this, he gently scratched Shang Jin's palm with his little thumb, and then felt that his hand was held tighter. She hooked her lips in a good mood, and then said:
"Dad, during this period of absence, did Mu Mu practice with Xiao Luo well?"
"Haha......" When Mu Si heard this, he suddenly laughed, Shang Jin saw the father-in-law in front of him with a happy look, raised his eyebrows and said:
"It seems to have improved a lot. Dad, Mu Mu has that ability, but he is usually too playful. Well, you can finally worry less. β
"Yes, yes......" Mousse hooked his lips, shook his head and said excitedly: "You don't know, Feng'er, he has reached the green stage!" β
"What?!" Mu Ningjiu exclaimed in surprise and blinked incredulously:
"Dad?! Are you telling the truth? Mumu Ta ......"
"Yes, all of this is due to Xiao Luo, it was he who helped Feng'er cross the ......" Mousse's words suddenly stopped, and he gritted his teeth in annoyance and secretly wondered: Alas, look at yourself, when you are happy, you can't even hold back what you promised Xiao Luo, what can you do now...... Mu Ningjiu saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, his eyes rolled, and then he hooked up a smile, and said:
"Dear father, do you have something else to hide from your daughter?"
"Uh...... This one...... This ......" Mousse began to stutter under his daughter's cross-examination, sweating on his forehead, and couldn't say why for a while.
"How can you not tell me? I'm Mumu's own sister! Come on, I won't bother with you now. Mu Ningjiu shook Mousse's hand, half threatening and half coquettish.
Mu Si couldn't stand his daughter like this, and after some mental struggle, he looked around, suddenly lowered his voice, and slowly said to Mu Ning Jiu Shangjin and the others:
"Then you have to promise, thousands, thousands, thousands...... Don't tell anyone! Especially the wind! He said several "tens of millions" in one breath, and secretly thought in his heart: Xiao Luo, I'm really sorry, I blame my mouth...... Alas.
"Got it." Mu Ningjiu stuck out his tongue: What the hell is going on? Could it be that there is any hidden reason for this promotion to Qingduan?
After Mousse told the two of them about the cause and effect of the tribulation, Shang Jin pondered for a while, and suddenly said:
"So, Mu Mu's spiritual power reserve was improved because Xiao Luo helped him survive the tribulation of his previous life in his dream?" Mousse nodded.
"It's a bit of a hard work, but the result is achieved. Otherwise, I really don't know how long it will take to wait for this day......" Mu Ning Jiudao.
"No, Jiu'er, this catastrophe is not as easy as you think! If you don't get it right, Feng'er may be haunted by nightmares and stagnate your spiritual power reserves. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't have sent Xiao Luo there. This dream, no more than reality, reflects the demons of people's hearts, and it is easy to lose yourself if you are not careful. Mousse sighed and said.
"Dad, you just said that Xiao Luo said not to tell anyone about this, what is this?" Mu Ningjiu paused, and said suspiciously,
"He's the only one who knows what's going on in his dreams right now, right?"
"Yes. Maybe...... I don't want people in the clan to gossip. After all, Feng'er didn't get promoted through the usual way. β
"Although Xiao Luo is extremely strict with Mu Changfeng on the surface, and he is still sneering, he thinks about him everywhere in front of people, he is really a twisted person." The corners of Mu Ningjiu's eyes bent, and he suddenly remembered the purpose of the time, and patted his leg and said:
"Alas! I almost forgot to get down to business! Dad, today we have found traces of black magic in the Shenzhou Continent, and two of our companions have been tricked because of collecting intelligence. Do you remember that child Wu'er who was purified by divine consciousness? We later discovered that his blood had the ability to heal black spells, why is that? β
Mousse raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly:
"As far as I know, most of the practitioners who have undergone divine healing do not have this ability. Unless...... He was born of a lunar year, a lunar month, and a cloudy day. The 1 in 1,000 chance that you actually ran into it, it's really lucky. β
"Then how much blood is needed to be mixed with divine consciousness to be able to treat a Chinese practitioner?" Shang Jin asked. Wu'er is still a child after all. Not to mention whether he is willing or not, but if he is willing, if he needs a lot of blood to treat Ye Shi and the remaining boy, with his body that has just recovered from a serious illness, he will not be able to support it at all.
"According to the bowl of eating in the palace on weekdays, one bowl is enough to heal one person." Mousse Road.
"It's too much, Wu'er is still young, I can't stand it." Mu Ningjiu frowned and muttered.
"Dad, is there any other way?" Shang Jin asked.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. However, there are many ancient books left by the ancestors in the library of the clan, and there may be some records. Xiao Jin, Jiu'er, you may not have been back for a long time. Let's stay here and let's think about countermeasures together. β
"Okay." Mu Ning's nine jaws were headed. As if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "By the way, Dad, have you seen Wei Chi them?" β
"Oh, they're going to the Fire Clan, and they say they're looking for clues to black spells." Mousse Road.
"Sister-" Before Mu Ningjiu turned his head, a strong wind hit behind him, and a hairy head had already arched into his arms.
"You're finally back! I miss you so much......" Mu Changfeng muttered, then raised his head, his blue eyes were shining, and he hugged his sister and didn't let go.
Mu Ningjiu was slightly stunned when he saw the tears in the corners of his eyes, then hooked the corners of his lips, touched his head with a smile, and said:
"How old are they, and they're still like hairy children." She paused, and caught a glimpse of Shang Jin's gloomy face, coughing dryly and distancing herself from Mu Changfeng.
Mu Ningjiu looked at him carefully, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Mu Mu, it's only been a long time since I saw you, how do you think, sister, your temperament has changed a lot...... It's getting more and more like my mother, it's just carved out of a mold. β
"This kid has had a beauty sleep, and his appearance is really more and more outstanding. In the future, if he chooses a queen, if he is not Zhou Zheng, how can it be ......good," Mousse teased.
"Daddy!" Mu Changfeng muttered dissatisfiedly,
"What do you say? I don't want to get married. Now that's good. β
"Nonsense!" Mousse frowned and scolded:
"You didn't listen to you last time I told you, Jiu'er, you also help your father persuade this kid, and treat yourself as a child."
"I am! Sister ......" Mu Changfeng pulled Mu Ningjiu's sleeve and didn't let go, a pair of black eyes were like deer, and Mu Ningjiu's heart was soft. As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard Shang Jin beside her say:
"Dad, don't worry, with us here, we must find the kindest and virtuous wife of the whole phantom clan for Mu Mu, who can cook like Xiao Luo." He patted Mu Changfeng's shoulder with his hand as he pulled him away from his little fox. Mu Changfeng was in pain, glared at Shang Jin fiercely, and was blocked back by the other party with an impeccable smile. Mu Ningjiu looked at the battle between the eyes of the two, and couldn't help laughing: It's really an old vinegar jar, even the brother-in-law's vinegar eats.
