Chapter 22: Phantom Beast Contest (1)

Under the dark night sky, the world seems unusually quiet, and Mu Li's room is still lit, under the magic lamp, she sits at the table and keeps writing something, turning the book once or twice from time to time, serious and quiet looks like two people on weekdays.

Since she decided to study hard, Mu Li has been like this almost every day, although she often stays awake all night, but with her physical fitness, it is nothing, not to mention that even if she sleeps, she can't sleep well.

In the quiet space, the magic lamp emitted a dazzling light, and a black figure passed through the window of the corridor and quietly landed in front of Mu Li's room, without knocking on the door, without asking, and directly pushed the door in.

Mu Li, who turned around when she heard the voice, was stunned for a moment when she saw the person who came in, and then smiled: "What are you kidding, I've been a night walker for so long, and I actually met a companion at home today!" There was no nervousness in her voice, but excitement, and without waiting for the man in black to speak, she had quickly opened the drawer next to her and flipped it up.

"What are you doing?" asked the man in black, puzzled.

"Find you money!" Mu Li said as a matter of course while rummaging through the cabinets, "I don't have much money recently, if I let you take it, tomorrow's breakfast will be a big problem, so I'll find it for you myself." ”

"I'm not interested in your money!" he sat on the edge of the bed and smiled meaningfully, "even if I want you, I don't lack money to spend." ”

"What do you mean, what do you want my people to do?Who are my people?" Mu Li raised his head and asked strangely.

sighed weakly, blaming her for being too stupid, reaching out and pulling this stupid girl to sit together, and said, "Don't think about it if you don't understand, I came to you for something - what are you doing?" Seeing her keep touching him, Xia Feng really couldn't stand it.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what kind of material your clothes are made of. "Mu Li behaved very studiously.

"I really have something, can you listen to me honestly?" Xia Feng really admired his patience, and he could still talk nonsense with her.

"It's not that I'm not good, it's that you're here to dress like this? Judging from your experience of breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion to save me, it seems that you don't have to travel like this, do you? and still masked? What is this?" unceremoniously ripped off the face towel he hung around his neck.

"It's early in the morning, Miss, no matter how bad my summer breeze is, I can't let people know that I came to you in the middle of the night, right?"

"Why do you want to come at night? can't you wait for tomorrow?" Mu Li still didn't give up.

Xia Feng reached out and hugged the little Yama on her shoulder, explaining, "I also just received the news about the annual 'Phantom Beast Competition'. ”

"Phantom Beast Competition, what is that?" Seeing that Xiao Hades, who had been squinting and sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, looking very interested, Mu Li was also energetic.

"It's not a gadget, it's a competition, it's a famous entertainment...... That's what I think anyway. ”

"Huh?"

"It's the phantom beast that is competing under the leadership of the master, understand?" After Xia Feng finished speaking, Mu Li nodded vigorously. Listen to him continue, "You can also participate, as long as you have phantom beasts. ”

Mu Li pointed to the little Yama King in Xia Feng's arms and reminded him that the phantom beast also belonged to him.

"It doesn't work. ”

"Why?" asked in unison, one speaking and the other communicating with the psychic.

"All the competitions in the Phantom Beast Contest are hand-to-hand combat, you don't want our little Hades to go up and fight, right?" Xia Feng had an expression on his face, "It's not that I look down on it, but I feel sorry for it".

"That's right, I'm a sapient being, and that kind of stupid and savage race is not for me. Little Yama sent out a message of relief, and his round body flipped over, almost falling off Xia Feng's lap.

Xia Feng and Mu Li looked at this arrogant meat ball and was silent for a short time, and then Mu Li couldn't help but sarcastically mock it.

"Except for eating, I don't see any wisdom from you!" Ignoring its angry meow, Mu Li looked up at Xia Feng, "Is there any benefit for me to participate?"

"The winner of the Phantom Beast Contest will have a chance to enter the army ......"

"Okay, I'll participate!" Before he finished speaking, Mu Li stood up excitedly.

Looking at her excited look, Xia Feng poured cold water: "If your phantom beast is the little Hades, then don't think about it, I won't let it take risks." Little Hades happily licked the back of Xia Feng's hand, it was still the master of the wind, "Moreover, even if you have a phantom beast, you may not be able to win." ”

"You can rest assured of this, as long as there are no major accidents, I will definitely be able to win the championship, our little ghost is not an ordinary phantom beast. Mu Li was full of confidence.

"Xiao You?" Xia Feng looked at her, and then at Xiao Hades, "I've never heard you mention that there is such a phantom beast?"

Mu Li said mysteriously: "Little Yama doesn't even know! Hmph, you don't have any information this time, right?"

Xia Feng and Xiao Yama glanced at each other, and at the same time put on a disdainful expression, Mu Li only thought they were jealous, and secretly said in his heart: "Xiao You, it's been a long time!"

"One more thing!" Xia Feng said suddenly.

Mu Li frowned: "What?"

Xia Feng put down the little Yama King, looked directly at her and said, "I'm leaving!"

"Where are you going?" Mu Li didn't react to what he meant for a while.

Since this year's contest was sponsored by the royal family, the task of hosting naturally fell on the royal family, and my unreliable uncle and my big brother who lacked a sense of humor decided to push me out without permission, and then got the unanimous consent of the others...... I suspect they planned to bully me and my second brother when we weren't at home...... The second brother reacted faster than me, and said hello early and avoided it......"

Xia Feng said a lot of things, Mu Li was dizzy when he heard it, and his little face was strangely distorted.

"Anyway, I have to go back to the palace to prepare, because it is held in the capital, so the registration time here is the latest, and some of the qualifiers in other places have already ended. ”

"When are you leaving?" is the key question.

"Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it's too late, so I'm running over. Xia Feng smiled.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, they were all in the same city, and the distance was not far, but once he returned to the palace, they couldn't see each other every day like now, and they were reluctant......

Mu Libian walked back to the bedside with a flat mouth, obviously displeased, "Then if that's the case, you can go back, business!" said reluctantly.

Xia Feng nodded and stood up: "Then I'll go back first, and I'll clean up!"

Mu Li watched Xia Feng leave with his mouth open, and didn't jump up to catch up until he reached the door, grabbed his clothes tightly, and shouted, "Are you so anxious? After tomorrow, will I not be able to see you for a long, long time?"

"Probably ......" Xia Feng thought and turned around, "It's more than a month......, right? Wow?"

Mu Li threw himself into his arms, raised his head and pouted, "Then can you stay for a while?"

"Stupid!" Xia Feng's original joking mood collapsed because of her undisguised attachment, hugged her and smiled, "I'm not going to leave tonight, watch you sleep, okay?"

"Hmm!" Mu Li nodded happily and buried his face in his arms.

Xia Feng took a deep breath, his ink-colored eyes were not contaminated with any impurities, rippling with an indissolvable tenderness.
