Chapter 359: A Small Extra
[Demon King and Maiden] Part 1
Nan Xian is very envious of her relatives.
Her cousin was born to ride a dragon, and when her peers relied on their feet to go to school, she could ride a fiery dragon every day and turn the entire academy handsomely;
Her aunt could communicate with the elves, and she facilitated the trade between humans and elves;
Her grandmother was psychic, could talk to the gods who lived in the clouds, and prayed for rain for the Terrans, and was the object of everyone's reverence.
But since she met He Mingxiao, he never let her talk to other demons again.
**
In the far south, in a small town full of birds and flowers, there lived a beautiful young woman, whose surname was Nan Mingxian, and she was eighteen years old, the best of years, but everyone who had seen her said that she was of a noble temperament, and that she had a more attractive face than the mysterious race above the nine heavens.
But such a wonderful and outstanding woman, but since birth, she has no magical ability, in this magical continent that respects strength, she is no different from those epiphany flowers that can only open for a short time.
Nan Xian's beauty was spread throughout the continent by poets who traveled through the place, so on the day she turned nineteen, the royal family living in the north issued an order to summon her to the palace as a concubine.
The current king, who is over half a hundred years old, is ugly, fat and bloated, with loose skin covered with wrinkles and spots, and always sprays a lot of perfume to hide the pungent smell of foxes.
And the most unspeakable thing is his appalling fetish......
Nan Xian still has a good life, how could she be willing to commit to such a person, so she tried to escape several times, but the lives of her family were in the hands of the army sent by the king, and she could not watch her family being killed because of herself, so she could only be forced to step into the carriage to that land of ice and snow, leaving a lot of tears of heartbreak.
*
The carriage traveled for more than half a month, and the scene along the way changed from dense and lush jungle to barren sand and bare old trees, and the sight was all barren.
"Phewβ"
The advancing carriage came to a sudden stop.
Nan Xian withdrew her distant thoughts, she turned her head to look at Xiaofu sitting beside her, and asked, "What happened?" β
Xiaofu was the king's maid sent to serve and supervise her, and she was only a teenager this year, thin and small, with sallow skin, and a very introverted personality, sitting in the corner like a quiet little chick, except when necessary, she rarely took the initiative to talk to Nan Xian.
Xiaofu shook her head when she heard this, and then lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
After a while, she climbed up again, and said in a tone without any ups and downs: "The front is the secret forest, and the chief leader is considering whether to rest in place for the night, and then continue to set off tomorrow morning." β
Secret Forest? It was the first time Nan Xian had heard this name, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Is the Secret Realm Forest a very dangerous place?" β
Xiaofu nodded, wanting to continue to bow her head and pretend to be air, but to Shang Nanxian's face with implicit anticipation, she pursed her lips and explained in a low voice: "According to legend, there are demons living in the secret forest that eat human blood and human flesh, they are all beautiful and good at seducing humans, but once they lure humans to their territory, they will dig out their hearts and eat them...... Demons are inherently evil beings. β
Nan Xian was slightly stunned for a few seconds when she heard this, and then she shook her head slightly, she turned her gaze back to the car window, and muttered in a low voice: "Then I would rather marry a demon than be locked up in that golden cage." β
Xiaofu looked at her: "What did you say?" β
Nan Xian tugged at the corners of her lips: "Nothing, hope, hope we have good luck." β
It didn't take long for the Commander-in-Chief to decide to move on, and to speed up his way through the Uncharted Forest before it got dark.
However, it backfired, and before they knew it, they got lost, and the horses began to be restless, and even began to get out of control.
In the midst of the noise, a voice of fear rang out.
"Demons! It's a demon! β
A period of chaos ensued.
Nan Xian, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes suddenly, poked her head out of the carriage, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw the scene not far away.
A young man was lying languidly on a tall tree branch, the corners of his black robe dangling less than half a foot from the ground, swaying gently in the breeze.
His complexion was a little sickly pale, but his appearance was the most outstanding among the people Nan Xian had ever seen, with half-length black hair slightly messy, and a pair of conspicuous long black horns on the top of his head, so that people could see his identity at a glance.
Born from hell, the legendary evil race - demons.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his scarlet eyes glanced in this direction, chilling.
The Commander-in-Chief was a valiant and fearless warrior who was the first to raise his sword and rush forward, but soon fell to the demon's instantly stretched claws.
Seeing the leader die in front of him, the other warriors were furious and rushed forward with a scream
I don't know when a gust of wind blew, and the sweet blood gas suddenly filled the entire forest, and the blood on the ground accumulated together, and slowly gathered into a small river.
Xiaofu was already frightened and fainted, but Nan Xian still hid in the carriage, staring through the cracks in the window to peek at the dead heads and shocking wounds.
Death is more than innocent, she said in her heart, those girl souls who were tortured to death by you along the way will definitely cheer when they see this scene.
Also, what Xiaofu said is not entirely true, demons don't dig out people's hearts, at least, the demon in front of her doesn't.
She quietly looked at the tall figure with his back to her, and watched him nonchalantly wipe the blood from his paws, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
No wonder demons are good at seduction, and just a back is so desirable
Suddenly, the demon seemed to sense her gaze and quickly turned its head to meet her eyes.
Nan Xian was taken aback, and quickly shrank back, carefully covering her chest, as if she was afraid that her heart would run out.
The footsteps were getting closer, and a large white hand pulled the car door, and she was caught off guard against the demon's face.
The strange thing is that he has only killed so many people, but his body is not stained with a trace of blood, but exudes a cold cedar aroma, smelling quiet and comfortable.
And if you ignore his conspicuous horns and red eyes that seem to glitter, he looks like a young man who is too handsome.
Nan Xian didn't see a trace of danger-related emotions in his eyes, and her beating heart slowly slowed down, quietly staring at each other from a short distance.
After a long while, just as Nan Xian had already begun to wonder why he had been staring at him, he suddenly spoke.
The voice is as low as a cello, with a bit of sexy huskyness, which is unexpectedly good.
"So you're the woman who said you'd rather marry a demon, and you look like it, but," he paused, then turned as if to leave, "Forget it." β
Nan Xian was slightly stunned, blinked in confusion, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said to his back: "Thank you!" β
Seeing that he had stopped, she continued, "Thank you, sir. β
The demon slowly turned back, his eyes narrowing slightly, and his claws stretched out unconsciously, "Can you understand me?" β
Nan Xian swallowed her saliva, jumped out of the carriage with the hem of her skirt, stood up straight, and looked at him bravely.
"Yes, sir, I can understand you."
"And not only do I understand you, but I also know that you will bring me back to your home."

"Why? Aren't you afraid of me? β
He Mingxiao narrowed his eyes, his scarlet eyes were like flames burning in thick ink, flashing with palpitating light.
Nan Xian couldn't help but feel a little stunned, but she still tried to hold the skirt, this was the last skirt her mother sewed for her, and she was reluctant to get dirty.
She cautiously stepped forward and took a half-step closer to the man.
He Mingxiao subconsciously stepped back, and a slight panic flashed in his eyes.
She chuckled, "You see, you don't hurt me, so why should I be afraid of you." β
"So what!" He Mingxiao choked, neither advancing nor retreating at this time, so he had to stiffen his neck and say, "I am a demon, and I have killed so many people, you say that you are not afraid now, you must be trying to coax me." β
Nan Xian shook her head and looked at him firmly, "You are indeed a demon, but killing them because they provoked you for no reason first, I am indeed a little afraid of you, but what I am afraid of is that you will not take me away." β
He Mingxiao was slightly stunned, his sharp claws slowly retracted, his lips tightened, and he spoke after a while: "Give me a reason to take you away." β
Nan Xian tilted her head and said with a smile: "First, you don't hate me, and my appearance is very much in line with your heart; Second, you must live alone, and perhaps there is a shortage of a cook who can cook and clean the house. Third, I'm the first human to understand you, aren't you curious? β
He Mingxiao gently hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and looked her up and down with interest, "What about you, what are you for, you must come with me?" β
Nan Xian pursed her lips and listed them one by one, "First, the army that sent me to the Northern Palace has been strangled by you, and I can't go back; Second, even if I were able to return home, my family would be strictly guarded by the men sent by the king, and I would not be able to join them; Third, you're strong, so powerful that you can even rival the entire Terran, so I need you to back you up. β
"Huh." He Mingxiao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Your ambition is not small, but unfortunately, I am not interested in the conditions you mentioned." β
With that, he raised his leg and was about to leave, but his sleeve was pulled by a small white hand.
"Wait!" Nan Xian looked up at him, a little anxious, "I still have one condition!" β
"I'm willing to be your bride!"
*
Thousands of years ago, chaos first opened, and all things were born.
There are roughly three races in the world: angels who dwell above the clouds, who have the kindest countenance, the purest hearts, and the most healing powers; Humans running on land, they have different skin colors and appearances, although ordinary but industrious; There are also demons born from purgatory, who are born with the most delicate and seductive looks in the world, who are imbued with seductive power in every inch of their skin, and who also possess formidable powers that can easily destroy entire cities.
But God is always fair, and he gives the demons beauty and strength, but also imprisons them - if the demons can't find true love, they will be reduced to ashes by the day they turn twenty.
Demons only have a short lifespan of twenty years, so their numbers have always been very scarce, and most of the ones who can really survive are those who have been pretending to be among humans all year round and have found true love.
Nan Xian is very smart, or rather, her instincts have always been very loyal.
She guessed He Mingxiao's inner thoughts at the first glance - he was waiting for death.
She hadn't seen any other demons, so she didn't know if they would lie alone in the tree at dusk basking in the sun, but she was sure that the demon in front of her would not do it for no reason.
She decided to take a gamble.
*
A person and a demon stared at each other for a long time, and after a while, the color in He Mingxiao's eyes became darker and darker, and the protruding Adam's apple slowly slid up and down.
He pursed his lips as if helpless and a little happy, and his eyes moved to the side, but he backhanded Nan Xian's hand, which was smaller than his own, soft as a petal, and then clenched it tightly.
Nan Xian felt a little pain, but she didn't struggle, she looked at him with beautiful eyes, serious and stubborn.
"Okay, I agreed."
He let go of her, turned his head, and walked into the depths of the forest.
Seeing that she didn't react, he pretended to be impatient and whispered "tsk".
"What are you doing? Come on! β
Nan Xian blinked, her eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Please wait!"
She stopped He Mingxiao, then picked up the hem of her skirt and turned around and ran to the carriage, dragging a thin figure out of the carriage.
"And her!"
He Mingxiao's eyebrows jumped, and he frowned sharply on his sharp sword eyebrows, he was just about to refuse decisively, but at Shang Nanxian's pure and beautiful eyes, his tone unconsciously softened, and he asked patiently: "Why?" β
Nan Xian smiled, no matter how she looked at it, there was a bit of cunning in that smile, and she raised her hand and gently patted Xiaofu's cheek.
"Who do you think I'm talking about as a cook?"
