Chapter 99: The Sacrifice (8)
Morning Light Mansion
When he had just walked up to the third floor of the building where Gu Fei'er and Xing Ke lived, Ye Yixi found Ruan Yu sleeping on it without fear of the cold of the corridor floor.
"Hey, hey~, Ruan Yu wake up-"
"Hmm~?, overnight senior"
Trying his best to open his eyes and see the face of the person in front of him, Ruan Yu immediately got up and respectfully took an upright posture.
"Shh~ Don't be so noisy, Xiaoxue and Ling'er are sleeping inside. β
"Yes, Senior Yixi, why did you come here, aren't you in charge of guarding the entrance of the village?"
"I've already changed shifts, so I'm here to pick up your shift. There's still one day left tomorrow, so let's go back and rest. β
Because he had been tired for a day, Ruan Yu didn't make too many excuses, and after saying goodbye to Ye Yixi, he left Chenguang's mansion and rushed to the rest place of the escort team.
"Standing in front of a girl's room in the middle of the night, I always feel like a little bit ......"
In order to calm the uneasiness and throbbing of the exclusive teenager in his heart, Ye Yixi began to inspect.
"Anyway, it's so close to the Holy Light City, but there is no way to use the energy of the Holy Light City, and it is really troublesome to rely on fuel lamps for lighting. β
Sensing that the light in the corridor had become dim, Ye Yixi could only find the oil barrel from the end of the corridor, and helped the fuel lamps embedded in the wall to refuel one by one.
"What is this?"
Ye Yixi, who had patrolled to the attic at the top, was suddenly attracted by the dark shadow underground and stopped.
"Lunch box? There is also a note [Today's dinner, please use it slowly. Remember to keep it a secret, Father]"
After taking out the jade of Xiaoguang and silently putting things inside, Ye Yixi wiped the traces on the ground and went into the attic to check the sleeping positions of Gu Fei'er and Xing Ke respectively, and helped the two of them cover the quilt before quietly pushing them downstairs.
"It seems that Mr. Priest is not as harsh as Xiaoxue said......"
After conducting a careful inspection of the mansion, Ye Yixi returned to the corridor outside Ai Xue and Yue Ling'er in order not to offend the sacrificial god of agriculture, and continued his escort mission.
"It's been a long time since I've been so focused looking at the starry sky......
Lying on the railing, Ye Yixi was intoxicated by the bright stars in the sky again.
The next day, the sun had just appeared in the sky, and Ye Yixi had already returned to the rest place of the escort team.
"After everyone has finished washing, they will go to the Chenguang Mansion and have breakfast with the sacrificial procession, and then gather at the exit of the village. β
"Yesβ"
"Disbanded"
Hearing Ye Yixi's order, the people in charge of the guards immediately dispersed to wash.
"One night, Dong'er, Captain Hongri, and Lelia haven't come back yet. β
"Ouyang Zhen, who was in the same room with me, didn't come back either. β
After Ling Fei, Moka also walked to Ye Yixi's side and reported.
"Got it, I'll go to the entrance of the village now to see how they're doing. β
After saying goodbye to the two, Ye Yixi changed into Lingxue's clothes in order to save time and flew directly in the direction of the village entrance.
"This breath, the purification ritual, what the hell did the four of them do?"
In the rapid flight, Ye Yixi came to the location of the village entrance in a moment, but before he began to look for the figures of the four people, the divine aura had already rushed into Ye Yixi's perception range first.
Turning the direction of the flight, Ye Yixi flew at full speed towards the source of the breath.
The location where Dong'er and Ouyang Zhen fought last night was different from before, and the ground at this time was already covered with hundreds of deep pits, large and small. Moreover, in addition to Dong'er, Ouyang Zhen, Hongri and Leilia, there was another group of fifteen people from the law enforcement team wearing golden robes who were doing some kind of ritual.
"It's an overnight coming"
The brown-haired boy was the first to discover the identity of the breath that was hurrying behind him.
"Dong'er, what are you doing here?"
Controlling Lingxue's clothes, Ye Yixi rushed directly to the side of Dong'er and the four of them and landed.
"As you can see, ask the law enforcement team to come and perform the purification ritual of [uprooting]. β
"Of course I know this, why do you want to do [plucking]?"
"Yesterday, because it was dark, I accidentally got lost, and then I ran into a group of enemies who wanted to attack the village at night. β
"Then you cleaned them out here to protect the village. β
"yes, it's really smart overnight, you understand before I even say it. β
"Less deceiving, will you still get lost?"
"It's true, the four of them got lost together. β
Not only Dong'er, but even Hongri also spoke.
"I was really scared to death, and I thought I was going to run somewhere. β
"Lelia"
"That's right, I almost thought I was going to get lost and spend the rest of my life. β
Leilia and Ouyang Zhen also deliberately made an embarrassed appearance like Hongri.
"Even Ouyang Zhen said so"
Although he knew that the four of them were lying to themselves, Ye Yixi had nothing to do with them of the same caliber.
"Ye Yixi's son, is it?"
A man who seemed to be the leader of the law enforcement team came to Ye Yixi with a letter paper.
"It's me"
"The ritual of [uprooting] has been completed, and the effect on the spiritual veins has been repaired. Please make sure to sign here. β
"Okay, wait a minute. Why is there still a confirmation that the [removal] fee is paid by Xiaoguang?"
"This is what Mr. Dong'er said, they are under the command of Ye Yixi Gongzi to carry out Xiaoguang's escort mission, so ......"
Stopping the man who wanted to continue, Ye Yixi directly pulled up Dong'er's palm on the side and slammed the letter in the man's hand.
"Hey. What do you do overnight?...... No, this is forced, it can't be counted. β
"Wait a minute, change this article again [the cost of removal will be borne by Dong'er]. β
Ye Yixi's right hand was able to flash on the letterhead, and as soon as the purple spiritual power flashed, Dong'er's handprint and the treaty adapted according to Ye Yixi's wish appeared on the letterhead.
"The cost of Ye Yixi's uprooting is very high, it is difficult to pay it off just by relying on the salary of the hunting team, and it is difficult for Mr. Dong'er's reputation to raise a loan in ......the Holy Light Chamber of Commerce."
"It's obviously a law enforcement team, why would you know about my situation in the Holy Light Chamber of Commerce?...... No, that's just right. This agreement will be null and void, and it will still be paid by Ye Yixi's son......"
Dong'er, who roared angrily, suddenly understood in his mind, and as he spoke, he wanted to snatch the letter from the man's hand.
However, Ye Yixi's words were one step faster.
"It's okay, Dong'er is the younger brother of Dongmu and Dongma, you can also ask the two of them for payment. β
"Yes, the contract was made. β
Before Dong'er's hand touched the letter, the man's voice had already fallen.
Brilliant golden light was released from the letter, instantly turning into golden spiritual power particles and drifting into Dong'er's body.
"Liar, isn't it? If the eldest brother and the second brother knew that I owe so much debt...... Ahhh
In the heartfelt roar of Dong'er, who couldn't stand it because of fear, the law enforcement team members left satisfied.
In the lobby of the Chenguang Mansion in the village
Although she was not allowed to eat breakfast, Ai Xue still had the right to move freely for a short time before the sacrifice began.
"Si Kou, why didn't Brother Yixi come to breakfast?"
"Xiaoxue, if you go overnight, you should go to find Dong'er. Why don't you see each other for a day?"
Grabbing the freshly prepared bread on the table, Ai Xue unceremoniously slapped Si Kou's face with a meaningful face.
Bang -
"It's hot, it's hotβ"
"Moka, hurry up and help me see if I'm disfigured?Xiaoxue, if I'm disfigured, you'll be responsible. β
"It's still so handsome without scars, and Xiaoxue is gone, don't scream, it will disturb others. β
The impatient Moka replied in an emotionless voice without even looking at Si Ko.
"Ruthless, so ruthless. Ruan Yu, Moka's childhood sweetheart is too ruthless. β
The sad Si Kou could only give up Moka and pounced on Ruan Yu on the other side.
"Hey, Ruan Yu?"
looked at Ruan Yu, who was distracted.
"Ruan Yu, Xiaoxue has been overnight, you don't have a chance. β
"Wow, what are you talking about?"
Ruan Yu, who had neither blushing nor a racing heartbeat, glanced at Si Kou and then shifted his gaze to Ai Xue, who walked back to the sacrificial procession.
"I can always feel a sense of nobility that does not belong to human beings in Ai Xue's body......"
"It doesn't belong to human beings, it's true that Ai Xue's face doesn't seem to belong to human beings, if she waits for a few years, she will definitely be able to make all the men in the world fall for ......"
"Don't understand what you're talking about"
Giving Si Kou a look of contempt, Ruan Yu continued to eat his breakfast.
Glancing at the bread that Ai Xue used to pat himself, Si Kou suddenly gave up the idea of continuing to eat breakfast.
"Moka, why did your face become so stinky as soon as Xiaoxue came? Could it be that it was because of the fact that you were defeated by Ai Xue without any way to fight back during the martial festival?"
"How do you feel that your words have become so much today, and you are more annoying than usual. β
Moka, who was told the central thing by Si Ko, had a longer face, and his expression became more stinky.
"Trouble, Si Kou Yuanshan said that he couldn't eat enough at all, so he had to add breakfast for three people. β
With that, Moka immediately packed up his utensils and left Si Ko's side.
Si Ko, who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, had just turned around and had not left the stool.
"Si Kou Yuan, right?"
The chef in white uniform has arrived with an additional breakfast.
"That's right"
"Please don't waste precious food"
Looking at the fierce chef, Si Kou nodded subconsciously.
"That?Ruan Yu~"
"Senior Si Kou, I'll leave first after I'm done eating"
As soon as Si Kou turned his head, Ruan Yu immediately stuffed all the rest of the breakfast into his mouth, and quickly left after packing up the dishes at the risk of choking to death.
"Everyone~"
By the time Si Kou spoke, the others had already packed up their dishes and left.
"Even if you eat lunch together, how can you eat three portions when you are full, do you want to sneak away?"
Si Ko, who was just about to act, immediately felt a dangerous gaze staring at him, and he could only pick up the bread with difficulty.
