"In the future, if there is any trouble in the Nine-tails Village, even if you come to me, you don't have to pay for the annual offering. Xiao Shuo said.

"Then thank you, General. Aunt Xin said happily.

The annual payment of the offering, which was a great burden for them, was naturally very happy that they could be relieved of it.

Xiao Shuo waved his hand, then turned to Lu Yan and said, "Big brother, I'll go back first." ”

"Well, be careful. ”

Xiao Shuo nodded, and then he didn't say more, and as soon as his body moved, he swept away from the Nine-Tails Village.

And with his arrival, the Demon Leopard Army, which was entrenched outside the Nine-Tails Village and made them quite uneasy, also erupted into monstrous ferocity at this time like a awakened fierce leopard.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Shuo fell into it, and with a loud shout, the army was like a machine, running up at this time.

When the earth shook, the black torrent, like a wind and clouds, quickly disappeared with the aura that permeated the heavens and the earth.

Lu Yan looked at the black torrent that disappeared at the end of his line of sight, and couldn't help but nod lightly.

In the village, with the departure of Xiao Shuo and the Demon Leopard Army, the oppressive black clouds that seemed to envelop this place also dispersed.

Those girls of the Nine-Tailed Clan, only then did they flock to Lu Yan, and their chirping voices were crisp and moving.

"Lord Lu Yan, is that Shuo General really your brother, it's so powerful. ”

"Hehe, Lord Lu Yan is also very majestic. ”

“......”

Aunt Xin looked at Lu Yan, who was smiling helplessly in the midst of many girls, and also smiled.

The palm of her hand stroked Xinqing's little head beside her, and then she exhaled lightly, as if she had made a decision.

The moon hung like a silver platter, and the cool moonlight poured down, enveloping the land and the endless mountains.

Lu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and on the surface of his body, there were black swirls forming from time to time.

And in Lu Yan's cultivation room, in the courtyard outside his room, the delicate and slender girl was standing gently.

She bit her small mouth lightly, and her small hands clenched from time to time, showing some crampedness and uneasiness in her heart.

At this time, the moonlight poured down, shining on the smooth and delicate little face, which was Xinqing.

She stood here for nearly an hour, until she felt the fluctuations in the spiritual power in the room, gradually weakening.

As if raising his little face and taking a deep breath, there was a touch of self-deprecation in his clear eyes.

Although she knew Lu Yan's temperament, she had to make some sacrifices for the survival of her family.

Immediately, she stopped hesitating, walked forward slowly, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Lord Lu Yan. ”

"Come in. Lu Yan's flat voice came, and there seemed to be an imperceptible helplessness in it.

When the words fell, he shook his head a little helplessly, and then sighed.

Xinqing's silver teeth bit lightly, and then her little hand was slightly forced, and the door creaked open, and she walked in slowly.

The door was pushed open, and the moonlight extended a path of light, and in that path of light, a slender delicate body slowly walked in.

The pair of clear eyes, but there was a little trembling at this time, she walked into the room, her head slightly bowed.

The two little hands were tightly twisted together, and their eyes were evasive, but they didn't dare to look at the man on the bed.

Lu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked at the girl who walked in like this, for a long time.

He saw that the latter didn't seem to have any signs of speaking, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Xinqing, what's the matter?"

Xinqing bit her little mouth tightly, and the little hands that were twisted together even became a little blue because of the exertion, and her heart seemed to be quite struggling.

Lu Yan looked at her quietly like this, and no longer opened his mouth to urge anything, just watched calmly like this.

The silence lasted in the room for a few minutes, and finally there was a splash in Xinqing's eyes, and then she suddenly knelt down.

"Lord Lu Yan..."

Lu Yan stared at Xinqing and smiled: "Your mother asked you to come." ”

"Hmm. Xinqing nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, your mother wants you to stay here tonight, why, do you want the Nine-Tails to get my protection?" Lu Yan said softly.

Xinqing's eyes were red, and the splash couldn't stop flowing, and she choked up: "I know that I'm sorry for Sister Zhixi, just for the sake of the clan, I can give everything, even if it's my life or body." ”

"The Nine-Tails used to be very powerful, but I don't have such lofty ambitions to restore glory, I just want my people to survive well. ”

"Not worrying every day about being caught and becoming a slave girl who is ravaged at will by others, this is the scene I want to see the most in my heart. ”

Lu Yan looked at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying very sadly, and sighed softly.

Aunt Xin wants to put the honor and disgrace of a race on the shoulders of such a weak girl, but it is too heavy

"I know Lord Lu Yan's temperament, my mother's method will definitely not work, but you just let me sit here for the night, and I will explain to my mother tomorrow. ”

Lu Yan sighed, he stepped down from the bed, and then came to sit down next to Xinqing.

Looking at the girl's crying little face, she chuckled: "I am from a small county town in Yuyang Ancient County, and I had an enemy when I was very young, and that enemy had the strength to easily wipe out my family. ”

"At that time, there was a world of difference in strength between me and him, he was a brilliant genius in that place, and I was just a nameless person in a small family. ”

Xinqing stopped sobbing and looked at the young man with a bright smile in front of her with red eyes.

She couldn't imagine that this man, who even the top level powerhouses in heaven and earth, such as Sabo and Bai Zhi, was extremely valued, actually had such a past.

"The rest of the story is very simple, I learned to forbear, and I grew stronger through the experience, and finally I killed him. ”

Lu Yan stretched out his palm, touched the girl's little head, and said softly: "I know that your race is very difficult, but in this world, if you want to truly protect the people you care about, you can only rely on your own strength. ”

"Your starting point is much better than mine, at this age is the early stage of the Domination Realm, this is a super genius in my place, so believe in yourself, one day, you will let the Nine-Tails Clan stand in this beast realm again. ”

Lu Yan smiled, his gaze fell on Xinqing's body, and then continued to speak.

"At that time, you would think how unnecessary all this is today, of course, if there is a day, you don't hate me, I don't want to provoke an angry nine-tailed fox. ”

When the words fell, Lu Yan's eyes flickered, and a warm smile climbed on his face......
