Chapter 235: We're Family

"Huh?"

Long Haochen obviously didn't expect Yue Shen to give such an answer, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Obviously, in his opinion, Yue Shen should be a person who is more interested in this million feats than himself.

Not to mention, they also have an incomparable advantage over other members of the Demon Hunting Group - the status of a demon nobleman who can enter and leave the heart of the demon capital at will, and the back way to take refuge in the Tower of Eternity through teleportation at any time.

Although the Paladin Elder also emphasized above, the demons will definitely attach great importance to this future prophet of their race, and it must be a considerable risk to assassinate her, so he also specially reminds everyone to pay attention to doing what they can, and at least have the strength of the seventh or eighth order to complete the task.

The implication of this sentence can be said to be a hint to everyone that this is a mission that can only be participated in by a handsome demon hunting group. As for why Yue Shen and other new demon hunters were also summoned to participate in the meeting, I think it was to give them the motivation to work hard to cultivate, right?

"Judging from past experience, it will probably be about a few years before this Star Demon inherits the Demon God God with the crown of the Star Demon God Inheritance." Han Yao's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, "Don't be discouraged if you don't have the ability to take on this task for the time being, you don't have no chance. ”

"Brother Yue, are you really not moved by this million feats?" Long Haochen glanced at Li Xin, who was next to him with straight eyes since hearing about the million meritorious deeds, and then said to Yue Shen: "If that Xingsha has been staying in the Demon Capital Heart City and not going out, then we who have 'convenience' are not the ones who have the most chances among all the demon hunters?" ”

"It's a trap." Yue Shen exhaled a long breath, "If I don't go, you are not allowed to go." ”

“…… Why? Long Haochen asked with some puzzlement: "How important is the Star Demon God to the Demon Clan, Brother Yue, you should see it very clearly in Dream Heaven, right?" ”

"Of course." Yue Shen nodded in response, "That's a guy who is not even as terrifying as the Demon God Emperor...... Well? ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Yue Shen quieted down in the middle of his words, Long Haochen also asked suspiciously.

"Grandpa Han asked us to go to his place after the meeting." Yue Shen replied, "He just sent me the message. ”

The meeting ended quite quickly under the chairmanship of Han Yao, who had always acted vigorously and resolutely, and it didn't take long for him to announce the dismissal.

"Don't keep a straight face, Yue Shen." Seeing that the front of the conference room was almost gone, Li Xin, who was sitting here almost suffocating, stretched his waist and said.

Although she is now in the Holy City, as a girl, she is still wearing the same standard knight uniform as Yue Shen and Long Haochen, and she looks extremely capable.

"How can I have a straight face?" Yue Shen asked angrily, "Haven't I always been like this?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't be angry with my sister." Li Xin stepped forward and put her arms around Yue Shen's neck with one hand, and said with a smile: "It's rare to meet you two brothers once, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

"Sister? Brothers? Yue Shen said in a daze.

Long Haochen: "!

! ”

Li Xin: "!

! ”

"Hahaha......" Fortunately, Li Xin reacted in time, and forcibly explained before Yue Shen found the abnormality: "How many times have you teamed up with Haochen to carry out missions, and hasn't Haochen always cared about you shouting one by one?" ”

"It's so good, I'm a little jealous when I see my sister." Li Xin suddenly pretended to be jealous and said: "Since you are already Haochen's 'elder brother', and I am Haochen's sister, and I am older than you, aren't you your sister?" ”

Long Haochen: "......"

This is a bit of a, isn't it...... Long Haochen thought very much in his heart without tears.

Why was this layer of window paper, which had been maintained for several months without loopholes, between him and Yue Shen, just punctured by Li Xin?

And sister, isn't your rhetoric already equivalent to self-exposure? Long Haochen swallowed his saliva a little nervously, looked at Yue Shen on the side, and quietly waited for his reaction.

"I think only Sister Xin'er can say such things, right?" I saw that Yue Shen was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "...... I see. ”

Really...... Long Haochen and Li Xin's sister and brother glanced at each other, and began to think about how to explain to Yue Shen later.

It's just that to the two of them, what surprised the two of them was that Yue Shen's next answer was far beyond their expectations.

"Sister Xin'er...... No, sister, you're right. After experiencing so many things, Haochen and I can indeed be said to be like brothers. I saw Yue Shen suddenly smile and said, "Sister, aren't you going to invite us to dinner?" Let's go now, when I stayed in the Holy City to cultivate, I could write down the names of several delicious restaurants. ”

Long Haochen: "??? ”

Li Xin: "??? ”

"That's nice, is this what family feels like?" Yue Shen said with a smile.

From Li Xin's words just now, Yue Shen felt something called belonging for the first time. If before, he positioned himself as a traveler to this plane, now he has regarded himself as a part of this place.

There was already a bond that he couldn't let go of.

However, the two sisters and brothers, who didn't know what Yue Shen was thinking at this time, fell into contemplation after looking at each other.

If it weren't for Yue Shen's sudden appearance of this face that was not in line with the reliable, mature, and powerful face of the past, they would have almost forgotten that Yue Shen's 'life experience' was much more tragic than them.

"Let's go." Li Xin hugged one person very aggressively, "My sister will give you whatever you want to eat." ”

“…… Then again, Brother Yue, didn't Grandpa Han just call us to his office? ”

The three of them were just about to walk out of the conference room, when Long Haochen, the youngest, suddenly reminded him.

Li Xin: "Huh? ”

"Seems to be the case." Yue Shen said with a thoughtful expression.

“……”

Inside the office of the Chief Paladin of the Knight's Templar.

"Grandpa Han, are you looking for us?" Yue Shen and Long Haochen saluted the white-haired old man walking behind the desk.

"yes." Han Yao nodded in response, and then stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down on the side, "There are some things that I am not very comfortable with, so I have to remind you individually." ”

When Yue Shen heard this, he couldn't help but blink, but he couldn't guess what the other party would say to them at this time for a long time.

"Grandpa Han, please speak." Yue Shen said very respectfully.

Li Xin is still waiting for the two of them to come out at this time, so naturally the sooner it is resolved, the better.

"Actually, it's not very important, it's just that I can't worry about you." Han Yao looked at Yue Shen and said, "Do you remember what I said at the meeting just now?" ”

"Remember, remember......" Yue Shen nodded a little weakly.

At the meeting just now, Han Yao should have only talked about the Star Demon Clan, the Star Yarn who had the crown of the Star Demon God's inheritance, right? At least Yue Shen only listened to this at that time.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed expression on Yue Shen's face, Han Yao couldn't help but show a look of understanding, and then shook his head helplessly: "I know." ”

Yue Shen: "......"

"You weren't allowed to fight that Star Demon Clan's idea, did you hear that?" Just as Yue Shen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, he was preempted by Han Yao, who suddenly became angry.

"I know that you kid has a lot of magical means, and it is not difficult for you to defeat the enemy by leaping through the ranks." Han Yao's big hand covered with thick calluses stretched out a finger and poked at Yue Shen's head, "But the Demon Capital Heart City is not such an easy place to enter and exit, with your current strength, if you go, you will die." ”

Yue Shen: "??? ”

No, you're pointing at the wrong person, right?

Yue Shen, who was reprimanded by Han Yao, pointed at his nose for a long time, relieved himself, and dared to feel that he was carrying the black pot for Long Haochen.

Obviously, among the demon hunting groups that belonged to all the Temple Alliances, the one who had the least idea of the Preparatory Star Demon God who was offering a reward was him.

And Long Haochen on the side also had a crying and laughing expression after reacting, but it was a pity that he was stunned by Yue Shen's vicious gaze.

"Alright, let's talk about what good things you guys got in Dreamy Paradise." Han Yao, who finally lost his anger, sat back on the chair and said, "Especially Yue Shen, I don't believe that you kid has the reason to enter the secret realm and come back empty-handed." ”

“…… Hahaha, you know me or Grandpa Han. Yue Shen obviously didn't expect that he would be seen through by the other party so easily, and after making eye contact with Long Haochen, he said very 'honestly': "I got this." ”

As soon as the words fell, a wooden token with a simple style, but full of the breath of nature and life, appeared in Yue Shen's palm.

"This ...... This is? Rao is Han Yao, who has always been well-informed, couldn't help but show a puzzled look after seeing the token in Yue Shen's hand, obviously he didn't know where this thing came from.

However, despite this, it is certain that this thing is produced in Dream Heaven, Yue Shen did not mention this thing in the report to the Alliance, so it should be very precious.

Yue Shen: I haven't reported a lot of things.

"I don't know if Grandpa Han knows the origin of Dream Paradise." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Shen also did what he had always wanted to do but was suffering from not having the opportunity.

That is to give Han Yao, who is the chief paladin of the Knight Temple, a reverse science popularization.

"The history books write about the relics left behind by the goddess of nature after she ascended to become a god." Han Yao replied very frankly: "But this is only seen in the history books, it is said that this dream paradise has existed for more than 10,000 years......"

"It's true, this dreamy paradise is really a relic of the goddess of nature." Yue Shen pinched the token in his hand up and down with two fingers and said, "This token was given to me by the will left in the world after the goddess of nature ascended. ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

After thinking about it, it was definitely impossible to say that he would take away most of the spiritual furnace produced by the opening of Dream Heaven this time, so Yue Shen could only take out the card of Night Little Tears and shake it in front of Han Yao.

As for why she gave herself such a thing, Yue Shen casually explained that it was a symbol of friendship, and as long as Yue Shen called her through the token, she would come over to help Yue Shen.

"I knew it." After listening to Yue Shen's 'explanation', Han Yao also said amusefully and helplessly: "I knew that with your temperament, I wouldn't report this, but since this is your personal gain, forget it." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Han." Yue Shen said with a smile.

And the old man in front of him is also, the other party can be said to be one of the elders who cares about him the most in this plane. Although there is no blood relationship between the two, they have a lot of care for Yue Shen.

"Alright, that's all that needs to be said, you guys go back." Han Yao waved his hand and said, "Li Xin is still waiting for you to go out outside, right?" ”

"Remember what I just said, don't touch that Star Demon Clan's idea." Han Yao emphasized for the last time: "That's not something you can contact now, even if you are a member of the king-level and emperor-level demon hunting group, it is difficult to guarantee that you can get out of the way, let alone you?" ”

“…… I know. Yue Shen nodded in response.

"Your task is to grow well, and as children of light, you have arguably the heaviest burden of all."

As Han Yao spoke, he took out a few black-looking things from the storage ring between his fingers, divided them into two parts, and threw them into the hands of Yue Shen and Long Haochen.

"This is for you, remember to let Lin Xin's kid help you refine it when you go back." Han Yao said.

"Grandpa Han, what is this?" Long Haochen pinched the black thing in his hand and asked.

"Dragon ointment, the dragon anointment of the Demon Dragon Clan." Han Yao explained, "It's good for you to cultivate your external spiritual power. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Han." The two of them said in unison, and once again saluted the respectable old man.

“……”

"Do you hear that? Don't fight that star yarn idea. After the two of them said goodbye to Han Yao and came out of his office, Yue Shen turned his head and said with a serious face.

"I see." Long Haochen replied with some tears and laughter: "I also listened to what Grandpa Han said just now. ”

"That's good." After getting Long Haochen's assurance, Yue Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then let's go and eat with Sister Xin'er now." ”

"Anyway, since we became demon hunters, we haven't seen gold coins again." Yue Shen whispered: "There are only things that cannot be seen or touched. ”

……

I don't know if it's because of Li Xin's always familiar temperament, or because Yue Shen found a sense of family in their sister and brother, the few of them get along very well, and they talk and laugh at a meal - just like real sisters and brothers.
