In the middle of summer in July, the sun is like fire.

Heavenly Soul Empire, Heaven Dou City.

Even on this hot day when you sweat after walking two steps out, the streets are still full of pedestrians, which shows its prosperity.

However, compared with the Ming capital, the style is very different, high-rise buildings are rarely seen, and the application of soul guide technology is also very rare, just like the contrast between the old and new centuries.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, Xu Lanqing checked the bright red invitation in his hand that he didn't know where the Ice Emperor got it, turned his head to look at the Ice Emperor, and asked curiously:

"This auction is so big, there must be a Title Douluo, maybe even Super Douluo, you used to walk around the outer city, now when you go in, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

The scorching sun shines wantonly on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, and also on the faces of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, adding a bit of hazy beauty to the street.

The Ice Emperor chewed in his mouth, swallowed the barbecue he had just bought, licked his oily lips with his tongue, and said absently:

"Before, your teacher specially made two soul guides that can change the breath of soul beasts into human beings for Zheng Zhan to bring back, it's not something that Extreme Douluo's spiritual power can't see."

Xu Lanqing glanced at the Ice Emperor's pink tongue, this weather is not only hot, but also a little hot.

He nodded, no wonder nothing happened in six years, so it was.

It seems that Kong Deming and Emperor Xue get along quite well, which makes him very relaxed.

Suddenly, Xu Lanqing, who was walking, looked in one direction and paused.

Seeing this, the Snow Emperor who was following him couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

She then followed Xu Lanqing's line of sight, and saw that in a place with little traffic on the street, there was a two-zhang high gatehouse in the middle of the vermilion wall.

The three big characters of "Iron Blood Sect" on the gatehouse are particularly eye-catching, and there is a plaque erected on the left and right sides of the gatehouse, the left side is the iron-blooded pill heart, and the right side is the proud bone that lasts forever.

It seems to be imposing, the spiritual sense has swept through, and the strongest person in it is only the strength of the Soul Emperor, a slightly larger ant.

Xu Lanqing retracted his gaze and walked to a shop next to him, he looked at the doubts in Emperor Xue's eyes, and smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that it would be better for you to bring a veil." ”

Indeed, when they walk down the street, the rate of turning heads is basically 100%, and there are people who look at it and bump into each other.

However, it also stopped at looking, under Zheng Zhan's powerful momentum, no fool who was not long-eyed dared to come up and look for trouble.

Xu Lanqing picked a white veil embroidered with white peonies, and started silky.

He leaned forward, so close that he almost stuck to the Snow Emperor, raised his hand to lift the Snow Emperor's silky snow-white hair, revealing the softly contoured ears, and put on the veil:

"I don't like you to be watched by so many people, and if you want to see it, you can only show it to me alone."

Well, fairy spirit.

Feeling the numbness brought by Xu Lanqing's palm caressing his cheeks, the fresh boyish taste poured into his nose, and the cold snow of the Snow Emperor appeared a faint pink, and the crystal earlobes were white and red.

The cold and noble aura that rejects people thousands of miles away is completely gone.

Xu Lanqing held her soft and cool hand, interlocked her fingers, and smiled: "Okay, let's go." ”

The Snow Emperor nodded slightly, and let the boy lead her forward in the sunshine, through the bustling crowd.

Looking at the boy's side face under the golden light, the tip of his heart trembled, and his whole heart seemed to be melted by the warm sun.

As long as Lan Qing likes it, it's fine......

"One for the old lady too!" Ice Emperor Jade slapped his hand on the table, and a bang resounded throughout the store, attracting everyone in the store to look over.

"What do you see? What's there to see?! She raised her eyebrows and snorted.

Suddenly, everyone turned their heads in unison.

The Ice Emperor snorted coldly, took the veil like the Snow Emperor handed over by the shopkeeper, and followed angrily.

Xiaobai followed closely, his mouth never stopped, all kinds of delicacies were stuffed into his mouth from the storage soul guide, and his mouth was full of oil, no wonder it grew into a ball, there was a reason.

"How much?" Zheng Zhan asked.

“…… Two copper plates. ”

"Whoa."

After paying the money, Zheng Zhan turned around and left, he was now a qualified tool man.

Originally, I thought that my task had been completed after sending back the fairy grass, but I never thought that the emperor would let him come back with the sentence "You will follow Lan Qing in the future".

He wasn't stupid enough not to know what this sentence meant, but fortunately, Xu Lanqing gave him a suitable herb to solve his problem of knocking medicine, and maybe he would have the opportunity to cultivate to Super Douluo in the future.

Think about it this way, blood earns!

After turning a street, Xu Lanqing and the others came to the solemn gate of the auction hall.

However, Xu Lanqing saw a slender figure in front of the door stopped by Miss Manners, and before Xu Lanqing could pass, the figure turned around.

She looked to be only twelve years old, with a slender and well-proportioned build, and her long, blonde hair was draped in large wavy waves.

The skin is better than snow, the eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when looking forward to it, it has an elegant and elegant temperament.

The complexion is like jade, like the crescent moon, like flowers and trees piling up snow, tender, and the posture of the country and the city seems to make all the colors around it dim.

The light eyebrows are like autumn water, and the jade skin is accompanied by a light breeze.

When passing by, the sweet fragrance lingers in the nose.

Xu Lanqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at her back, this was ......

"That girl is really beautiful, what's the matter, you have a big carrot and you have a crush on someone else, and you want to spoil the scourge?" The Ice Emperor sneered on the side.

Emperor Xue also looked at Xu Lanqing.

Xu Lanqing turned his head, his face was indifferent, and he said confidently: "Do I look like that kind of person?" ”

After speaking, after handing over the invitation, he took Xue Di's hand and entered the door under the leadership of Miss Etiquette.

………………

The girl with blond hair was moving around and fast, without the slightest pause, and was obviously extremely familiar with this area.

Ten minutes later, she turned into an alley.

The alleys are lined with dilapidated and quaint moss-covered courtyard walls of neighboring civilian courtyards, some of which are covered with dense green creeper vines.

Under the narrow shadow, it seemed to sweep away some of the sweltering heat of Heaven Dou City this summer, and it had a slightly cool feeling.

She finally stopped in front of an old wooden door, and the faint conversation from inside made her reach out and push it open when she stopped in vain, swallowing back what she wanted to say when her pink lips opened.

"Your illness can only be treated with our special Xuanshui Pill, a Xuanshui Pill costs thousands of gold soul coins outside, with your family background, you have already spent all the money because of the treatment, even if you save enough money, you will not be able to hold it for a long time. Do you really just stop thinking about it? It sounded like the rough voice of a middle-aged man.

"No, you go." It was a slightly hoarse woman's voice, and it sounded very weak.

"You have to think clearly, if you refuse, you have no rule of law for this disease, how many years can you live?" The man continued.

"I think very clearly, how far you want to get out of here!" The woman seemed to be enraged, and said angrily.

"Are you willing to die like this? Even if you're not afraid of death, what about your daughter? What do you do if you die? She's just a relative of you, right? ”

The man continued to persuade: "It's just to let her have a room with my young master, take what she needs, and there will be no more involvement in the future, you will continue to live yours, so that you can always accompany your daughter, isn't it?" ”

There was silence for a moment, and the woman seemed to be touched by what the man was saying, or perhaps thinking about something else.

Suddenly, the woman's voice suddenly rose, and her tone was extremely sad and indignant: "Then I can't ruin my daughter, she is only twelve years old, she only told me yesterday that she got a letter of recommendation and can go to Shrek to school, that is the world's No. 1 Shrek Academy!"

She has such a good future, how can I destroy her because of me, because of me, how can I face her, she is my daughter, my flesh and blood, how can I let her do that kind of thing?! ”

The more she spoke, the more angry the woman became, and when she was angry, she seemed to be concerned with her condition, and she couldn't stop coughing.

The girl outside the wooden door leaned against the courtyard wall with her back, and she didn't care if her hair was dirty.

Her head hung low, her long golden hair hid her peerless beauty, her slender shoulders trembled, and a trace of blood flowed from her fingers in her clenched fists, and the blood collected on her knuckles and became droplets of blood dripping to the ground.

Helpless, pitiful, and pitiful, people feel pity for everything.

There was a clanging sound from inside the wooden door, and the woman was smashing something with her hand, and her tone was resentful, and she shouted with all her might:

"How do you make such a request? Get out of here! Never be in front of me again, get out! Get lost! ”

The wooden door was pushed open with a "bang", and two middle-aged men with ordinary appearances were pushed out by a woman with a disheveled hair.

As if they were afraid of hurting the woman, the two men did not resist at all, and they had to avoid the woman because of their scruples.

With another "bang", the wooden door was closed by the woman, and the two men looked at each other.

"It seems to be messed up, what should I do now, how can I go back to the errand?" One of the tall men asked.

"Forget it, let's go first, I won't agree for a while." The other short man sighed helplessly.

"I don't think I'll say yes at all."

The tall man rolled his eyes and proposed, "Why don't we go talk to her daughter?" It should be easier to negotiate than her mother. ”

"Although she rejected it last time, try again, maybe it will work." The short man nodded, "But we have to talk about it alone, or we will definitely have to lose it." ”

In fact, they had already talked to the woman's daughter once before they came, but unfortunately they didn't agree, looking at her like that, they should want to save up money to buy a Xuanshui Pill by themselves.

The annual expenses of an ordinary family of three are only a dozen gold soul coins.

Thousands of gold soul coins, she is a helpless civilian girl, even if she has good talent and is already a great soul master, she can't save two hundred gold soul coins a year.

As they spoke, they walked out of the alley.

Suddenly, they stopped and looked at the long-haired blonde girl blocking the exit of the alley in front of them.

Good guy, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

For this girl, they naturally recognized who she was with a mission.

"You ......," the dwarf man began.

"I heard you talking to my mother."

The girl interrupted the short man, and said in a trickling voice to herself, "I can grant your request, but you can't tell my mother." ”

The short man looked at the girl's expressionless face, and his golden eyes shone brightly in the sun, but they were a little dim, so he subconsciously avoided them.

He swept his eyes over the traces of blood on the girl's hands, nodded and said, "Since you agreed, it's the best, don't worry, we will talk about it, and we will definitely not disturb your life again after this time." ”

"I have a request."

"You say, if you can do it, we will satisfy you."

"Give me the Xuanshui Pill first."

"This ......," the dwarf man hesitated.

"My mother and I are just two orphan daughters and widows, and you are still worried that I will run away?" The corners of the girl's mouth pulled a trace of arc and sneered.

"Okay." The dwarf man took out a jade bottle and handed it to the girl, "The Xuanshui Pill is inside, I'm sure you should know it." ”

The girl took the jade bottle, checked it, and put it away after confirming that there was no problem.

"Because my young master has some things today, the time is set for tomorrow, Room 404 of the Paradise Hotel, nine o'clock in the evening, no problem, right?" The dwarf man said.

The girl nodded, in response.

She didn't ask their young master's name, since it was a transaction, why did she need to ask extra questions.

She stayed where she was, watching the two men walk farther and farther away into the crowd.

The head was raised, and the long wavy golden hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a slender jade neck like a swan, and the eyes that seemed to be able to speak were closed, and moist tears ran from the corners of the eyes to the chin.

Tears on the chin reflect the thriving streets outside, and the decaying and silent alleys of the alleys on the other.

And she stood between light and darkness.
