Chapter 45: The Birthday Feast
I don't know if it's an illusion, after returning from the underworld, Qihuang always feels that this big devil's intention to spy on her seems to be a little stronger.
It's not that it restricts her travel, it's just that every time she is outside, Qihuang vaguely feels as if someone is following her. But as long as he doesn't go too far, it doesn't matter. After all, in the underworld, she did cause a lot of trouble for Qi Ling.
The next day, outside the school, Qihuang and Ling Sheng were talking heart-to-heart about Yangchun.
"Qihuang, these days when you are in the underworld, something strange has happened to Yangchun. Ling Xiang's face was hesitant, as if he was puzzled, but it was not heavy.
Hearing this, Qihuang was a little anxious, thinking that Yangchun had been bullied by others again, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Yangchun?"
Seeing Qihuang like this, Ling Sheng knew that she was worried about Yangchun, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's just that I'm a little strange." That day, Yangchun was disfigured by Shao Kun, and you also fell into the trap of the succubus in order to help her collect medicine, and your soul was taken away. However, when you return from the underworld, Yang Chun's face has healed in a few moments. ”
"Yangchun's face is good?" Qihuang heard this, and for a while she didn't know whether she was happy or more confused, but she was vigilant again, "But Shang Yu helped her?"
Shang Yu was already kind to Yangchun, and when he learned about Yangchun, it would not be unusual if he helped.
Who expected Ling Shang to deny this: "No, I asked Shang Yu Gongzi, and he didn't know anything about it." Yangchun was quite different when she came to me to talk about it, and she didn't seem to know why she had such a change in herself, so it all happened so quietly. ”
The two of them were silent for a moment, as if they were thinking of a plausible reason for this.
After a while, Qihuang hesitated and spoke: "Is it possible that it is because of Yangchun's spirit grass true body?"
Bailan Mountain absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and Yangchun is the spiritual grass on the mountain that turns into a human form, if there is really any miracle effect, it is also quite normal.
Ling Shang agreed: "You say that, it seems that there is indeed some truth. It's just that now she is in the demon realm, and she is ignorant and ignorant. If it is really as you say, such an ability may not be a good thing for Yangchun. If it is used by someone with a heart, I am afraid that the consequences are unknown. ”
There was a hint of worry in Ling Xiang's words.
Qihuang could only suggest: "Anyway, let's hide this matter first." also told Yangchun first, don't make a noise about this matter. ”
In recent days, Qihuang has experienced too many strange things in the Demon Realm. The change in Yangchun reminded her of the old ring, and for some reason, the ring was suddenly repaired inexplicably. All kinds of events made Qihuang suspicious.
She worried, "Everything that happens in the Demon Realm is too weird. I always felt that besides you, there was someone hiding in the shadows, who also knew who I was, and even knew what was likely to happen in the future. However, he doesn't seem to be intent on interfering with us, just hiding behind his back, making sure that nothing affects his expectations. He seems to be pulling us towards the goal he has set......"
When Ling Shang heard Qihuang say this, a faint worry began to appear on her face, and she said, "Is it possible that you are too careful." If it is really as you say, to set up such a big game of chess under the nose of the Demon Lord, although this person's methods may not be better than the Demon Lord, but they must be divided into courts. However, I have never heard of such a person in the Three Realms besides you. ”
"It's also possible to ......," Qihuang hesitated. In the final analysis, Ling Shang's words are quite reasonable, but they can't completely dispel Qihuang's concerns.
Ling Sheng changed his words and said: "By the way, in a few days, there will be another big event." ”
"What's the matter?" Qihuang was puzzled and uneasy. Remembering that Shang Yu had said something similar, Qihuang suddenly began to have a headache. It shouldn't be another exam, the monthly exam once a month has forced her out of breath.
I don't know what this devil is doing with such a rule. To see her embarrassed?
Ling Sheng looked at Qihuang, said solemnly, and said, "The birthday of the Demon Lord." ”
Qihuang was slightly stunned. "Why haven't you heard of him before?"
"The Demon Lord is forbearant and has never liked these cumbersome rituals, so the Demon Realm rarely organizes a birthday for this. But this time is different, this time, it's his 1000th birthday. ”
Why is he so old...... It turned out that it had been so long since that war.
It turns out that the Phoenix God of War has been gone for so long. For a while, Qihuang was in a trance. It is not only because she is afraid and confused about the unknown future, but also because she seems to have become a little different. The longer she spent with Kai Zero, the more she didn't know how to face him.
Seeing that Qihuang was distracted, Ling Shang called softly and said, "Qihuang, you must be more careful at this birthday banquet of the Demon Lord." ”
Qihuang was puzzled and asked rhetorically: "Why should I be more careful about his birthday?"
"The Demon Realm attaches great importance to this banquet, and may start preparing for it as early as possible. With the influence of the Demon Lord, this banquet must be very lively and mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people with bad intentions will be mixed in. At that time, I am afraid that you will be in danger again. Ling Shang told the story.
What does she mean, what kind of people are there at this banquet? Ling Shang's words are right, but if there are really bad people mixed in, their target should also be Qi Ling, what does it matter to her? Although it is right to be careful, how does Ling Sheng mean that this group of people are coming for themselves.
Thinking of this, Qihuang didn't take Ling Shang's words to heart, and said lightly: "Ling Shang, you are serious, and his birthday banquet has nothing to do with me." ”
"Wrong. Ling Shang blurted out a retort.
Qihuang was a little surprised, and wondered, "Why is it wrong?"
"Although this birthday banquet is organized for the Demon Lord, it is not difficult for those in the know to guess that the real protagonist behind it should be you. After all, the Demon Lord has never paid even the slightest attention to any woman, but he bluntly said that you are the person he likes in front of everyone. What kind of identity the Demon Lord is, and how terrifying his influence in the Three Realms is, I believe you know better than me. With his relationship with you, you are already a bird. Besides, there is also a Shao Kun. Although Shao Kun's status is not as good as that of the Demon Lord, behind him is the entire Wolf King family. On this birthday, you should be embattled. ”
Ling Shang's words made Qihuang's mood a little heavier. People with impure motives did not dare to make a move against Qi Ling and Shao Kun, so they could only turn the spearhead to themselves, which was indeed a big hidden danger. Moreover, these two have such a high status in the demon world, and it is difficult to guarantee that some girls and young ladies will not be unwilling.
Thinking about it like this, Qihuang only felt that she was quite aggrieved. Originally, she had already made countless enemies in the Three Realms, and she could only hide her true body after her spiritual power was out of control, but she didn't expect to hide her true body, and because these two people caused trouble, it was simply difficult to get in a dilemma.
However, for the purpose of Qi Ling and Shao Kun, Qihuang thought that he could see it quite thoroughly. She said lightly: "These two people, one has other plans, the other is to challenge authority, bloody rush, they may not be sincere, but they want me to bear the consequences, it is simply miserable." ”
Why on earth should she be used as a shield for these two people? Qihuang only felt quite depressed.
Who would have thought that Ling Shang would not be the same as Qihuang's words.
She looked at Qihuang quietly, her eyes clear and cold, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness, and said, "Although the purpose of the Demon Lord may not be simple, you can't deny that he has indeed done a lot for you. There is also Shao Kun, he doesn't have a deep city like the Demon King, his joy and anger are naturally direct, since he said that he is happy with you, even if he is dizzy for a while, he is sincere. Besides, that day we discussed going to the underworld, and the future was unpredictable, Shao Kun was a pampered son, but he was the first to bluntly say that he wanted to go to the underworld. But it was indeed stopped by Qi Zero later. ”
When Qihuang heard this, he was speechless for a while, but he felt that he had nothing to say, lowered his head, and did not speak.
Ling Sheng added: "It doesn't matter what they are for. But your reaction, as if you don't take the two of them to heart at all, pretends to be indifferent, but in fact is extremely cowardly. ”
Ling Shang's eyes are clear and careful, no matter how much Qihuang pretends to be garlic, he can no longer refute Ling Shang's words. She was right, she was indeed quite cowardly. She doesn't want to be responsible for anyone's feelings, and she doesn't want to accept anyone's overtures, so if someone really approaches her so firmly and wants to understand her, Qihuang's first reaction is to run away, which is a deliberate denial. Because this is in the Demon Realm, because one of them is the Supreme of the Demon Realm, and the other is a nobleman of the Demon Realm.
She was on opposite sides of them from the start. So, all of this is just an accident that shouldn't have happened.
But now that it has happened, all Qihuang can do is escape.
"Ling Shang, you know who I am, and you should know that I can't afford it. ”
How would they react if they knew who they were? Compared to being reprimanded by Shao Kun for her meanness, she was more afraid of seeing their disappointed eyes.
But Ling Shang is different for Qi Huang, not only because the Dragon King clan is not completely subordinate to the Demon Realm, but also because Qi Huang can feel that Ling Shang is not willing or unwilling to serve either side of the Heavenly Demons.
And there is another person similar to her - Shang Yu, who is half immortal and half demon. But Shang Yu is not exactly similar to Ling Shang.
Ling Shang seems to be resolute, but in fact, her position is not clear. And Shang Yu seems to be a fool, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the heavenly demons at all, but in fact, he has already made a choice.
Seeing that Qihuang was so dignified, Ling Shang felt pity for a while, and didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "If you really don't want to talk about it, how can I reluctantly interfere with you." However, when it comes to the Demon Lord's birthday banquet, you can't be so heartless anymore. Moreover, even if the rest of the Demon Realm is afraid of the Demon Lord, they dare not target you. But there is one person you have to be more careful. ”
"Who?"
"Yahime. ”
"Yehime, isn't she in the Heavenly Realm, what, she's coming back?" Qihuang became interested, only to find Ling Shang's words quite strange. This night Ji was placed in the heavenly realm as a hostage of the demon realm, and her actions were naturally restricted. Even if it was Qi Ling's birthday banquet, the Heavenly Realm might not give her the qualifications to enter and leave the Demon Realm.
Ling Shang explained: "The Demon Lord's banquet this time is not trivial, so naturally he wants to invite the envoys of the Heavenly Realm. And Yehime, as a hostage of the Demon Realm, of course has to attend. ”
Ling Shang's words revealed a hint of sorrow, as if he was very worried about Qihuang's safety, but Qihuang was very interested when he heard this.
"Will the envoys of the Heavenly Realm be invited to the banquet?, will the Emperor be present that day?" Qihuang asked anxiously.
Ling Sheng frowned, why didn't this girl be afraid at all when she heard the name of Ye Ji. "This ...... As the supreme of the heavenly realm, it stands to reason that the Heavenly Emperor should be present. Moreover, not only the Emperor of Heaven, but also the Queen of Heaven and the Crown Prince should also come together. ”
Although Ling Shang's words were not completely confirmed, they made Qihuang quite excited. She was naturally happy to see the Emperor of Heaven. It just so happened that she had a lot of doubts in her mind and had not had a chance to ask them.
Seeing that her eyes were shining, and a relaxed smile was on her lips, Ling Shang knew that she was not worried about her safety at all, and she hated iron and steel, and said lightly: "Why don't you see a worried look at all, but you don't take my words to heart?"
Qihuang sneered and flattered: "How come, your words, I will naturally be enshrined in the Golden Order." ”
Seeing her behave, Ling Sheng only felt helpless and funny, sighed, and said, "This night Ji is really not as easy to deal with as you think." ”
Qihuang said lightly: "Isn't it just a night girl, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
Qihuang was very happy to learn the good news of seeing the Emperor of Heaven at this time, and began to be arrogant and frivolous when he spoke.
Ling Shang comforted again: "That's not what I said. That night Ji Ke is different from Xianyun, she never puts her joy and anger on her face, her heart is deep, and besides, she has always been happy with the Demon King. If she knows the Demon Lord's affection for you, she will definitely not let you go. ”
Joy and anger are invisible, and the scheming is deep?How can I hear that the rumored Second Highness of the Demon Realm, Ye Ji, is quite a match for this demon......
"Is this night girl really as beautiful as rumored?" Qihuang was a little curious. It's the pampered eldest lady Xianyun again, and the beautiful assistant Yeji, I can't see that this devil is quite popular.
For some reason, Qihuang had a sour feeling in his heart that he had never felt before, but he didn't take it to heart.
Ling Shang said: "Quite beautiful." It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first beauty in the Three Realms. ”
In this way, she was a little curious, what did the first beauty of the Three Realms look like. Qihuang said: "Since she is so beautiful, why doesn't Qi Ling like her?"
"Who can know this, let alone the Demon Lord, even the most ordinary person's mind is extremely difficult to guess. However, Yohime is indeed loyal to the Demon Lord and has a deep affection. Although she is a rare beauty, her methods are quite vicious, which is why I am so worried about your situation. Ling Shang said bluntly.
It's a pity that he was born so beautiful, but he is a heartless person. There are so many good men in the world, why do you want to hang on the tree of Qiling, she doesn't think there is anything good about this devil.
Qihuang sighed.
