Chapter XVIII

Thinking of the fact that Ah Rou almost hurt someone with a sword, Jing Di naively thought that what the Dragon King asked would only be related to this, and Heng Zhi himself was not her comrade, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

With no fear, she straightened her waist and smiled at each other: "I don't know what Lord Dragon King wants to ask, Jingdi must know everything." ”

Unexpectedly, You Zhiqi actually skipped him directly and set his eyes on Ah Rou.

"Jiao'er will not have a problem looking at people, he regards Xiuxiu as a close friend, and will not send a person who does not know the importance to serve him closely."

Arou is not good at lying, and she didn't give a reasonable explanation for a long time, so she simply spit out the truth.

"Lord Dragon King, my young lady is not born with a pulse. It is rumored that she is a waste, but it is actually caused by being killed. And the person who harmed her was Hua Lingyue. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jingdi's first reaction was to cover her mouth: "Do you have a hole in your brain?" On the first day of coming to Chaoyang Palace, he offended people three times and twice? It is the servants and maids of the Dragon King who are offended. ”

Although Jingdi is a maid, she understands a lot of things, if she serves the son instead of the young lady, then her identity is not just a maid.

It is not surprising that an unmarried normal man has several concubines around him.

However, You Zhiqi neither blamed nor argued for Hua Lingyue, but signaled Arou to continue.

"The city lord personally told me that Hua Lingyue came to celebrate the young lady's birthday, but she put a curse on her the moment she picked up the young lady, so that the young lady could not cultivate immortals."

Jingdi tugged at the corner of Arou's clothes: "Shut up, don't say anything more." ”

Ah Rou ignored the obstruction of others at all, and continued: "I have seen this portrait of this woman in the city lord's study, she is Hua Lingyue who harmed my young lady!" If you think about it carefully, maybe the person who killed Miss in the water is also this woman. ”

You Zhiqi listened carefully, his face was expressionless, but it made Jingdi feel even more frightened, and hurriedly defended it: "How old is that girl?" When she was born, she was just a child. ”

Hearing this, You Zhiqi finally reacted, and said with a cold face: "She just looks young, but she is actually more than 10,000 years old." ”

"It's-"

Jingdi, who was trembling, suddenly felt bad in her heart, and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, You Zhiqi's unangry and self-righteous momentum really made her panic, and she didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

At this time, Arou suddenly kowtowed to him: "Arou's words are true, please ask Lord Longwang to call the shots for my young lady!" ”

You Zhiqi slowly crouched to the level of Arou's eyes and pinched her chin.

"What kind of deal did you make with Le Zhengjiao? It's hard to do what he's going to do for you, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't protect Mo Xiuxiu like this, would you? ”

"Don't dare to hide it from Lord Dragon King, as long as I spare no effort to protect Miss and help her find the artifact Jade Ling to fulfill her wishes, the city lord will help me resurrect my fiancΓ©."

You Zhiqi said: "I'll just say that our sleepless arrogant man is the best at trading. As a deal, you protect Xiuxiu for him, and he will reciprocate. ”

Ah Rou boldly looked up: "What about the Dragon King?" You are willing to do the same thing as me, protect the same people...... Is there also a request for the lord of the city? ”

You Zhiqi nodded without thinking: "He has already helped me achieve what I want, and now is the stage for me to repay him." ”

The conversation between the two was listened to by Jing Di in a daze, and she didn't know what they were talking about, when did Mo Xiuxiu become their trading partner with a city lord?

"Entrusted by people to be loyal to people, since Arou has chosen to follow Miss, she will not let go of anyone who is not good for her."

After being silent for a long time, You Zhiqi said in a muffled voice: "Hua Lingyue has been with me in this Yuehua Palace for 10,000 years, and she has never left half a step, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with her, you don't want to hurt her again." ”

"Flowers, flowers?" Arou's mouth grew in astonishment.

You Zhiqi nodded his head: "That's right, her name is Hua Lingyue, not Hua Lingyue as you say." ”

Even with the Qingshu Dragon King as her guarantor, Ah Rou still looked incredulous: "But her face is exactly the same as Hua Lingyue in the painting." ”

You Zhiqi didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do you know why I'm willing to take care of Xiuxiu for Le Zhengjiao?" Although I have received the favor of Xiuxiu, I can choose a convenient way to repay the favor. ”

After hesitating for a while, Ah Rou spoke: "Because the city lord helped you back then, as a deal, you also have to help him once." According to the rules of the Sleepless City, whatever the city wants you to do, you must say yes. It is voluntary and reasonable. ”

Jing Di, who was full of question marks, was about to speak, but was interrupted by You Zhiqi waving his hand.

"Hua Lingyue was once the love of my heart, but she was cursed and destined to live no more than twenty years old in every life. I have guarded her for four hundred and ninety-nine lifetimes.

Every life, she would die the day before her birthday.

After her death in her first life, I found Le Zhengjiao at the end of my life and became the first outsider to enter the Sleepless City.

I originally wanted to change my life for Hua Lingyue, hoping that she would get rid of the curse of not living to be twenty years old, but I was only a Jiao body at that time, and I was powerless to help.

I was too young to stand the loneliness. The thought of having to suffer the loss of a loved one every twenty years is too much of a grue.

After all, the dragon clan has a longer lifespan, and twenty years is nothing at all.

So, at my request, Le Zhengjiao used superb puppetry skills to create a girl who was no different from Hua Lingyue's figure and appearance, and accompanied me to save me from being lonely.

Ten thousand years ago, I was not the master of Yuehua Palace, nor had I evolved into a dragon, and my cultivation was far inferior to what I am now, so I made a promise that no matter what Le Zhengjiao wanted me to do in the future, I would not be able to refuse.

To refuse is to break the agreement, and unexpected punishment will come. ”

At this time, Ah Rou's heart was full of sympathy for him, and she asked in a low voice: "The living puppet that was created is Hua Lingyue, right?" ”

Recalling the past, You Zhiqi slowly lowered his eyelids and nodded his head.

Lingren's Ling, the joy of please, a name with a sense of humiliation.

I thought I was just lonely and needed someone to accompany me, and I thought that Hua Lingyue could replace Hua Lingyue, but it turned out that I was wrong.

I underestimated the weight of the word 'love', and even if the living puppet looked exactly like hers, I couldn't transfer it.

Although I am facing Hua Lingyue night and night, what I think about is still Hua Lingyue, who is cursed, the pain of losing my beloved, and the heart-rending feeling, which has not let me go once.

As he spoke, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes again, and he stared directly at Jingdi.
