Chapter 23: Phantom Beast Contest (2)
A month later.
The final of the Phantom Beast Contest will be held in the Phantom Zoo at the Royal Palace of Starmia.
Mu Li took her mysterious phantom beast and passed all the way in the competition of her own age group, so that everyone's attitude towards her went through a process from doubt to surprise to inconceivable, in short, she successfully challenged everyone's psychological expectations, no one would believe that a fourteen-year-old girl would have such a powerful phantom beast, it was simply impossible.
Mu Li's reaction to the victory could only be described as "disapproving", because the Blue Tiger, her phantom beast, had complained to her more than once that her opponent was too weak, so that she only wanted to send it back to the Tree King's belly to continue her cultivation. The little king of Hades followed Xia Feng back to the palace, otherwise he would have been very happy to see such a phantom beast with such an appetite for it, the same arrogance.
Like all phantom beasts, the Blue Tiger usually spends its transformation in Mu Li's body, so when the battle ends in an instant, basically no one has seen its true appearance. On the other hand, Mu Li doesn't want it to be too ostentatious, and lets it go back after every game, others can't see it, those people are just curious, and Mu Li knows the temper of the Blue Tiger too well, this guy hates to contact outsiders, in case it is unhappy to kill someone, she can't afford to be responsible.
The night before the finals, Mu Li casually found a black dress, tried her best to cover her figure, and walked out of the accommodation arranged for her in the palace generously.
Because it was funded by the royal family, and the final was held in Haina City, the royal family also made this decision generously, and dozens of finalists were fortunate to live in the palace for one night.
The opportunity was rare, even if the defense was tight, she couldn't stop Mu Li, she followed the route she had inquired about before, and came all the way to the big house where Xia Feng was.
"Hee-hee, look at me and ...... scared"
Jumping on the large windowsill on the third floor on the south side, maybe it was too excited, maybe it was a little nervous to do something bad, anyway, he squatted there and just pushed open the window, and he trembled and went upstairs, but the falling body quickly stopped, a hand stretched out from the window, grabbed her wrist tightly, looked up and saw the familiar smile, the familiar inky eyes, Mu Li grinned.
"Ha, it's fun to meet again!"
"Me too!" Xia Feng exerted a little force, Mu Li took advantage of the momentum and jumped down, falling on the floor of his room as light as a swallow, walked to the window and looked down, patted his chest and shouted lucky, and then turned around to look at Xia Feng,
"How did you know I was coming?"
"Because you are Dongfang Muli!" Xia Feng replied as a matter of course, raised his hand and pinched her pretty nose, I haven't seen her for a month, I really miss her.
Mu Li squinted and smiled happily, stepped forward to hug him, and said to himself: "I miss you so much, so I can't help but run over." ”
"Really?" would always be overjoyed by her casual action, a word.
"Of course it's true!Why don't I do it?" Mu Li didn't understand why he asked like that, no matter so much, he let go of his hand, touched his stomach, and said embarrassedly, "I'm hungry!" looked at Xia Feng with coquettish eyes, "I was too anxious when I came out, and I put it down without eating a few bites!"
Xia Feng smiled heartlessly, took her hand, and came outside the bedroom.
This is the first time Mu Li has visited his room, out of the bedroom, outside is a large study, she thought that the bedroom is already very large, but it is more than twice as big as the bedroom, there is not too much decoration in the study, except for a super large and beautiful desk and a set of sofas, there is only a bookshelf full of books.
Like a devout believer, Mu Li walked quickly to the huge bookshelf and flipped over, seeing her slightly open mouth in surprise, Xia Feng shook her head, it seems that she has forgotten the problem of hunger.
casually picked up an apple on the low table, peeled off the peel and sent it to her: "You will have a chance to read these books in the future, eat this first, I will ask someone to bring food over!"
Mu Li put down the book, took the apple and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
When Xia Feng instructed someone to prepare a supper for her, Mu Li casually turned around in front of the bookshelf again, then took out a book that was three centimeters thick, and happily hugged it behind the desk to read it. Xia Feng, who turned around and came back, stood opposite her and saw that she didn't mean to look up, so he lay on the table (the desk was too big, and he couldn't reach her when he leaned over), pressed Mu Li's hand, and frowned a little jealously: "When did the book become more attractive than me?"
"Hehe......" Mu Li raised his head with a smirk, "There are too many books here, I am dazzled by it......"
"I said, you will have the opportunity to read these books in the future, even if you don't want to, I will force you to read them, but not now, you know?" Mu Li nodded obediently, holding the book and being taken by Xia Feng to the sofa to sit down and continue to read.
"......" Xia Feng was depressed, and she couldn't bear to disturb the little girl's serious appearance.
There was a knock on the door, Xia Feng walked to open the door, obviously startled by the visitor, and quickly leaned back.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
Mu Li was awakened by Xia Feng's strange voice, and when he looked up and saw him standing by the door, he immediately disappeared in place.
Although he was surprised, with Xia Feng's cultivation, he would never show it on his face, and he still said to the visitor with a gentle attitude: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you here?"
"I want to come up myself, so Your Highness and I don't have to be polite. The girl outside the door smiled gently, her dark brown slightly curly long hair swayed gently with her movements, and the girl was more delicate and sweet, "The supper you want, give!"
"Oh, thank you!" Xia Feng carefully took the tray, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"You're welcome......! Won't Your Highness invite me in and sit down?"
Xia Feng said regretfully: "I'm really sorry, it's too late, I want to eat and go to sleep." So please go back and rest for your Royal Highness, Robert, and help me deliver Princess Kina!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" said the chief chamberlain from a short distance down the hallway.
"I'm sorry!"
"Alright then, good night!" said Kina, smiling calmly, and then gracefully turning away.
"Long'er, eat!" As soon as the person walked away, Xia Feng immediately closed the door and shouted.
Mu Li reappeared in the position she had just sat on, still holding the book in her arms, she poked her head out and looked at the door and asked, "Who is that?"
Xia Feng shrugged helplessly, he didn't want to say, she was not reluctant, and happily prepared to eat.
Sitting beside her, smiling at her gobbling up, Xia Feng stretched out his hand and gently stroked her silky soft black hair, and his gaze stopped at it.
Mu Li's hair is very long, but there are no rules, and it is not pure black, but a little red mixed in it, which cannot be seen in the distance and in the dark, but in direct sunlight or light, you can see the little golden red at the end of the hair, which is different from the pure black of the summer breeze.
"Little Wind!"
"Huh?"
"Hehe, I'll call you!" Mu Li raised his head and smiled, "It feels like it should be called you, so I blurted it out!"
"You ......" didn't know how to respond to her anymore.
Mu Li automatically ignored the unnatural expression on his face and asked, "Xiao Fengfeng, can I stay tonight?"
Xia Feng smiled, nodded without a trace, reached out to wipe the food residue from the corner of her mouth, and said, "You can come whenever you want, you don't need to ask for my opinion." ”
"Really?" Mu Li's eyes lit up, and after Xia Feng nodded, he happily rushed over and hugged him and shouted, "I know that Xiao Fengfeng is the best!"
"Shhhhhhhh ”
"Oooh!" immediately carefully covered his mouth.
Xia Feng squinted and smiled at her cute appearance, and decided, wait a while to arrange it, let her live in the palace, right next to him.
