Chapter 43: Goodbye Ji Xue
"Hey, looks like this kid is going to suffer. β
"Yes, yes, who's not good at robbing, you have to grab things with the city lord, it is estimated that the woman is the city lord, maybe anyone, hehe, there is a good show to watch. β
......
Because of the maid's words, the others who had already left their seats and were about to leave the auction all stopped, looking at Yechen and the maid in front of him full of gloating whispers.
Listening to the whispers of the people around him, the corners of Yechen's mouth twitched.
β......β
Qingqiao, who was watched by the crowd as soon as she opened her eyes, suddenly couldn't react, and instinctively leaned towards Yechen's side, looking around vigilantly.
Feeling the corner of his clothes being tugged by, Yechen looked down at Qing Qiao beside him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at the maid.
"Let's go. β
Anyway, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, it's already come to this point, it's obviously impossible for him to leave, except to follow the other party to meet the so-called city lord, he has no other way, maybe the situation will not be as bad as they think, but this possibility seems almost impossible in Yechen at present.
"Sir, please come this way. β
Seeing Yechen nodding, the maid smiled politely, and after making a gesture of invitation to the other party, she looked at the other party.
Watching the maid's movements, Yechen took a deep breath and took the lead in pulling Qingqiao in the direction pointed by the maid.
On the second floor, the city lord's box.
"Princess, do you know that kid?"
According to the woman's instructions, the city lord of Yunshui City asked the maid to invite the monk who had grabbed the sword martial arts with him before, and after the maid left, the former looked at the woman in the room with a puzzled face, and asked, and the title of the other party was, the word princess.
"I know but I know, but I didn't expect him to be here, and this time I want to thank you for being able to give me this box. β
"What did the princess say, you are a princess, let alone a private room, even if the whole auction house is given to you, it is not a problem. β
"There's no need for the whole auction house, people are coming, you can retreat first, I have something to tell him." β
Interrupting the words of the city lord with a wave of her hand, the woman who was called the princess by the other party looked out of the box and spoke.
"Yes. β
Hearing this, the city lord nodded, walked backwards out of the box, and frowned slightly after seeing Yechen and Qingqiao who were brought up by the maid outside the box, his eyes stopped for a moment on Xiaoxue on Yechen's shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and stepped back to the side.
"Let them in. β
"Yes, city lords, two, please follow me. β
Hearing the words of the city lord, the maid nodded, turned to Yechen and Qingqiao behind her, turned around and lifted the curtain of the box, and made another gesture to Yechen.
Seeing this scene, Yechen's eyebrows wrinkled, the feeling is not that the city wants to see him, it should be the woman before, and it seems that the woman is either a higher status than the city lord of Yunshui City, or a concubine who is deeply favored by the city lord of Yunshui City, otherwise, it is impossible to let the city lord stay outside the box.
Glancing at the city lord, Yechen didn't see any clues from the other party's face, pursed his lips without a trace, and pulled Qingqiao into the box.
"People brought. β
In the box, the maid who brought in Yechen Qingqiao and the two spoke to the woman in white who was still in the box with her back to the door of the box.
"Well, you go out first, no one is allowed to come in without my order. β
"Yes. β
With that, the maid bowed again, and then left the box backwards.
Listening to the words of the woman in white up close, the other party's voice once again brought him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the back also made him frown slightly, but he didn't quickly think of who the other party was, just a sense of familiarity.
"Yechen, my ...... Well, your face, who are you?"
When the maid walked out of the box, the woman in white slowly turned around, and finally spit out a sentence, but the second half of the words was cut off after seeing Yechen's face at this moment, and then turned into a puzzled rhetorical question.
As soon as he heard the other party call himself Yechen, Yechen's heart shook suddenly, and at the same time, the murderous aura on his body was quietly released, but after seeing the other party turn around and face his face, the murderous aura on his body suddenly dissipated, and the woman in white in front of him was the third princess of the empire, Ji Xue! No wonder he always felt so familiar when he heard that voice before, but when he recognized the other party, he only relaxed slightly in his heart, and did not immediately show special emotions.
"Princess, you have recognized the wrong person, my name is Chenxing, this is my sister, Chenyun, the first time we met, if there was any offensive behavior at the auction before, I hope the princess will forgive me." β
With a gesture of his hand, Yechen said to Ji Xue.
Listening to Yechen's self-introduction, the corners of Ji Xue's eyes jumped, and then she rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"It's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person, what about my machine spirit?"
As he spoke, the former stretched out his white and tender right hand to Yechen.
Looking at the hand that suddenly stretched out towards him, the corners of Yechen's mouth tugged at him without a trace.
"Princess, you recognize the wrong person, I am not the Yechen you said, my name is Chenxing......"
"I know your name is Chenxing, but what about my spirit beads?"
Before Yechen could continue to speak, Ji Xue waved her hand and repeated the previous sentence with her mouth still unrelenting.
Hearing this, Yechen pulled the corners of his mouth again.
"You should know that I didn't have time to forge a spirit some time ago, and then I was in a coma for a month, and I knew that I only woke up yesterday......"
"In other words, you don't have a spirit at all, right, tsk, it's really unreliable, but forget it, for the sake of you being so 'busy', I forgive you this time. β
Again without waiting for Yechen to finish speaking, Ji Xue interrupted the other party's words again, and at the same time looked behind the other party with her eyes around the other party.
"Sister...... I don't remember, you have a sister. β
β......β
Listening to Ji Xue's abrupt question of which pot was suddenly not opened, Yechen's body stumbled slightly, and he looked at Ji Xue speechlessly.
"Forget it, by the way, I also have a divine beast, although it's not a real dragon clan, but it's also a half-dragon clan, I don't know how it compares with this little fox of yours?"
Before Yechen could answer, Ji Xue's attention moved away from Qing Qiao's body again, looked at Xiao Xue on the other party's shoulder, and said while stroking the young beast of the Abyssal Water Jiaolong Beast that had just hatched in his arms.
β......β
Hearing this, she couldn't help but be speechless, this time even Xiaoxue was speechless, and looked up at Ji Xue, Ji Xue she also knew, and she and Yechen met at the auction in Dream City last time.
"Half-Dragon ......"
Muttering two words softly, Xiao Xue jumped off Yechen's shoulder and jumped onto Ji Xue's shoulder, and at the same time stretched out her front paws and gently patted the abyssal water dragon beast in the other party's arms.
The abyssal dragon beast that was still sleeping was awakened from its sleep by this sudden beat, and looked up at the culprit who woke him up with some annoyance, and ran towards the roar, but after suddenly staring at Xiaoxue's scarlet eyes, the former's body shrunk in Ji Xue's arms was fiercely struck, and his body squeezed more and more towards Ji Xue's arms.
"Yes!"
Looking at this scene, Ji Xue was stunned, and then looked at Xiao Xue who jumped on her shoulder with strange eyes, she didn't expect that her Yuanshui Jiao Dragon Beast, which was also a divine beast, cowered like this just by seeing Xiao Xue, that kind of thing is not like a divine beast seeing a divine beast at all, no matter what kind of divine beast it is, as long as it is a divine beast, it has its own dignity, and it will not change because of age, there is only one reason why a divine beast can be directly silenced, that is, it has encountered a beast of higher grade than it, maybe an ancient divine beast, maybe a desolate beast, she always thought that Xiaoxue was just a divine beast, but she didn't expect that today's scene directly changed her opinionγ
"She won't, it's really an ancient beast. β
"Perhaps. β
Xiaoxue, who still wanted to tease the Abyssal Water Dragon Beast, hugged Xiaoxue from the other party's shoulder, and Yechen replied a little ambiguously.
Listening to Yechen's answer, the shock in Ji Xue's eyes became even stronger, but it was only a moment before she returned to normal.
"Regardless of these, they searched for almost a circle in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, but they didn't expect you to be here, if it weren't for the fact that a divine beast egg would be auctioned at this Yunshui City auction, maybe I wouldn't have been able to touch you, by the way, it is rumored that there is an ownerless ancient divine beast in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and it is also a little fox, it can't be you, right?"
Putting aside the shock in her heart, Ji Xue patted the abyssal dragon beast that was a little shrunken in her arms, looked at Yechen and said, after speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Yechen and Xiaoxue were stunned.
"There is an ownerless ancient divine beast in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, is it also a little fox, and when did it come out?"
After being stunned for a moment, Yechen came back to his senses, watched Ji Xue open his mouth and asked rhetorically, if he guessed correctly, that little fox was the fierce beast that inexplicably ran out of nowhere when his life was hanging by a thread.
"When...... It must have been a month ago, and besides, there are dragons in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range......"
"...... a month ago"
Ji Xue didn't continue to listen to the words later, his attention stopped at the first half of the other party's sentence, a month ago, the time was just right.
"It seems that after you were rescued by her, the people who chased you didn't find you again, and because of her, I don't know who released the news. β
Xiaoxue's words resounded in Yechen Zhihai, and the content of the words coincided with what Yechen thought.
"Well, if that's the case, it's necessary for me to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. β
Nodding slightly, Yechen responded in Zhihai.
"Go back, what will you do in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range? Your current task is to improve your strength, as for other things, you don't have to worry about it, if she is that person, you don't need to save it at all. β
Hearing Yechen's reply, Xiaoxue looked at the other party with strange eyes, and then the speechless words rang out in the former's sea of knowledge.
"Hey, did you listen to me!"
Before he could answer Xiaoxue's words, Ji Xue's slightly angry tone suddenly sounded in Yechen's ears, which made Yechen's body tremble violently.
"Ah, you, what did you say?"
β......β
Looking at Yechen who was looking at her blankly, Ji Xue's mouth opened, and then she sighed as if she was fated, and looked at each other weakly.
"I said, let's join a mercenary group and go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to have a look, the rumored dragon clan, as for the ancient divine beast of the little fox, I don't have any extravagant hopes. β
"Oh, ah!
Yechen, whose thinking had not yet kept up with the rhythm in time, subconsciously responded after Ji Xue's words, and then reacted back suddenly, looking at the other party with an inexplicable expression.
