Demon Realm

Regarding the opening of the Xuanxuan Illusion Mirror that night, Jialan only discussed it with Twilight, and did not say anything.

A few days later, envoys from various tribes arrived one after another, and the birthday banquet was held as scheduled.

Lan Yu was on the top seat, and three old men sat in a slightly lower position. As one of the six major clans, the demon clan is the closest to the demon emperor in the seat arrangement of the envoys, followed by the ghost clan, followed by the beast clan.

The kings of several clans did not participate in this birthday banquet, and the envoys of the beast clan were the second sons of the beast king, and the ghost clan directly sent ordinary courtiers with unknown names.

Lan Yu's face was covered with a half-pair of silver-white masks, covering the golden pupils on the left side, and the silver-blue eyes that were revealed could not distinguish between joy and anger.

The new ghost monarch has only been in office for a hundred years, and the shelf is big, and this time it is clear that he does not take the demon clan in his eyes. As she was thinking, Twilight suddenly bumped her arm and turned her head to look over, and Garan gestured silently with her eyes, and the old man in the middle of the seat was observing them with interest.

Twilight frowned slightly, staring at her uncomfortably. It was a look of looking at the goods and weighing them.

"The status of the fox clan among the demons is quite high, comparable to the dignity of the dragon clan in the beast world. He is the leader of the fox clan, and he belongs to the Elders' Pavilion, and is generally called the fox elder. Garan whispered to Twilight.

"Fox Lao has always coveted the minerals of the demon world, but he has not been able to succeed in these years, and he is extremely hostile to the demon lord, so we need to take more precautions."

Twilight bowed her head slightly, signaling that she understood.

After the congratulatory gifts were presented by all ethnic groups, the feast officially began.

The silky dancing girl rushed in, and the delicacies were served to the envoys. Twilight was about to lift her chopsticks, but was pressed down by Jialan, "Don't worry. ”

"The hospitality custom of the demon clan, the host eats the first bite of food first, which is intended to show that the food is non-toxic and harmless, and the guests are invited to eat with confidence."

Under the gaze of everyone, Lan Yu calmly twisted his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish to taste, without being cramped at all.

She seems to have been born to be admired.

After Lan Yu moved his chopsticks, the envoys began to enjoy the food one after another.

Lan Yu played with a folding fan in her left hand, looking down at the people below, the corners of her mouth were always smiling, but there was nothing in her silver-blue eyes, like a god watching the world.

Garan was stunned, but then a few exclamations drew his attention back to the birthday feast.

I saw a poorly dressed man rushing out of nowhere, pushing away the dancing girl and heading straight to the Demon Emperor, and the guards immediately drew their swords and escorted him to Lan Yuza.

Lan Yu's expression did not fluctuate, but the fox elder opened his mouth first and reprimanded, "If you dare to disturb the birthday banquet, rush into the envoys, and offend my emperor, you should be punished with death!" ”

The man hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The grass people deserve to die for their crimes, but there is something important to tell." ”

"Trespassing into the human world, coveting the scenery of the human world, knowing that the sin is unforgivable, but the grass people ...... when they are in the human world" The man paused for a moment, squinting his eyes in the direction where the demon envoy was. The alarm bell sounded in Jialan's heart, but before he could move, he heard the man's voice suddenly increase, "...... Detect a powerful demonic aura! ”

The whole feast was silent.

The triumphant smile in the fox elder's eyes did not escape Jialan's eyes.

This old guy directed and acted in this play by himself, just to completely tear up the rhetoric of "the demon lord's retreat" in front of the envoys of all clans, and push the demon clan into a dilemma.

So this play, is it the order of the Demon Emperor?

Jia Lan couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, facing Lan Yu's gaze. Her expression was still indifferent, but Jia Lan saw the coldness in her eyes.

She was furious.

It seems that the fox elder made arrangements without consulting her in advance, which is already an arrogance that Lan Yu cannot tolerate.

"The grass people don't dare to lie, please ......" No one saw the Demon Emperor's move, and the man was already splattered with blood.

The fox elder's facial expression froze, and most of the blood splattered onto his table, scarlet.

This is a warning from the king.

Lan Yu occasionally turned a blind eye to his small movements, which did not mean that he could act so recklessly. stirring up relations between the two races on the surface and trying to start a war has touched her bottom line.

"The scum of the clan swept your Yaxing, I'm really sorry, now the door has been cleared, and the feast continues."

The corpse in the middle of the body was still lying in the middle, but the envoys of the various clans seemed to have nothing to do, drinking and eating as usual, and the dancers were singing and dancing in a pool of blood, and no one seemed to take the accusation against the demon clan to heart.

Garan and Twilight didn't show any signs of being upset, even though they were upset. The banquet went smoothly, and the fox didn't move again.

After the feast, Garan went to the rooftop to blow the wind, and her mind was slightly drowsy from drinking.

"Demon envoy." A cold tone suddenly came from behind him, which made most of his wine sober up at once, and he hurriedly turned around and saluted.

The mask has a cool color, roughly outlining the contours of Arashiha's cheeks, and it is an extremely smooth line.

"The demons have decayed to this point, and they can't afford to protect the monarch."

Jia Lan couldn't refute it, if it weren't for Lan Yu's action to stifle the situation and let things develop, the other clans would have moved their minds and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the demon realm to get a piece of the pie, then waiting for the demon clan would be a catastrophe.

"Garan is here to thank the Demon Emperor for his help."

Lan Yu had a momentary sway, but he didn't recall the name. For her, the hundred years that Garan spent in the palace were just a small episode in her long life, leaving no trace behind.

This time the help is only a point, and she doesn't plan to meddle in things. Besides, with her understanding of the fox elder, there is a high probability that this old thing has already taken action.

Room

Xia Yue turned on her phone, and there was a new message in the chat box on the top, but she didn't look at it, she directly set it to read, and then nested herself deep into the sofa.

She has been avoiding Su Yuan recently.

When there is no class, he stays in the bubble tea shop, and if Su Yuan comes to look for it, he hides in the back room.

She wanted to push him away, so she was obedient and uncertain, but Su Yuan was always patient and changed ways to make her happy, so she could only take the most clumsy way to avoid the problem.

The mobile phone screen was full of fine scratches, Xia Yue lowered her eyes to look at her sharp nails, and let out a whimper that was almost like a trapped beast.

She regretted it a little, regretting that she responded to his love because of a moment of greed. Reality has repeatedly reminded her that she is a monster who has no place to go.

He's good, she doesn't deserve it.

She suddenly felt a strong sense of self-loathing, and she fiercely chiseled her hand into the concrete floor, using all her might.

The hard nails broke at the roots, and with the pain of the cone, she stared at the bloody ten fingers and chuckled.

The demon folded his wings and bleed to hug his lover.

The devil in the heart of the mortal is enough to compare with the gods.

The sky outside was completely dark, Xia Yue was lying on the sofa on her back, her arms pressed her slightly astringent eyes, and the blood beads on her fingertips kept dripping.

As the pungent smell of gasoline entered the room, a keen instinct for danger began to cried in her mind, causing her to sit up quickly.

When I opened the door, it was already burning outside the bubble tea shop. The fire ignited the interior of the store with the gasoline that seeped in, and the door of the store was as bright as day. Xia Yue took a few steps back and blended into the only remaining shadow in the room.

She looked through the firelight at Yukohui's delicate doll-like face.

You Zihui's eyes were brightened by the firelight, she didn't notice Xia Yue's existence, and quickly left the scene.

The small space in the store was filled with smoke in a blink of an eye, Xia Yue squatted in the corner, pinching her throat and coughing uncontrollably, so smoke that she could barely open her eyes.

I fumbled to open the phone book of my mobile phone, and dialed out the number by feeling, and the phone rang twice and was connected.

Xia Yue didn't know who was on the other side, so she could only speak in a dumb voice, and said quickly, "The 'Yuyan' milk tea shop near H University caught fire, and one person was trapped, please help me report J ......" The voice did not fall, and the mobile phone automatically shut down because the battery was overheated.

The fire had spread to nearby tables and chairs, burning her pale skin red.

Her consciousness began to blur, and she pulled herself together, but the thought that came to her mind was a self-deprecating joke: if all monsters were destined to be burned to death.

Whether it is glorious or downcast, it is just a handful of dust in the end.

The last thing that catches my eye is the glass door shattered, the scattered crystal shards reflect the firelight, and the huge birds are wrapped in the heat wave and head straight for her......

She slowly closed her eyes.

Su Yuan suddenly felt flustered, and subconsciously touched his phone, only to remember that the phone had fallen on Yu Qianluo's car. He borrowed Shen Momei's mobile phone to send a message to Xia Yue.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence that there will be some accidents at this time period. He looked at the chat box, calmed down, and calmed himself.

But his heartbeat was so chaotic that he gradually fidgeted.

"Did something happen?" Shen Momei noticed his abnormality and stopped rummaging for information.

"It's fine." He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled perfunctorily, "It's just that I haven't found any useful information, and I'm a little upset." ”

Shen Momei pursed her lips, and after a few hesitations, she still took out a necklace from her pocket, "I think, you may need this." ”

At the bottom of the necklace is a scepter-shaped pendant set with pale red crystals.

"This is one of my family heirlooms...... But there are rules in the demon slaying family, and the magic weapon is passed on to men and not to women, and I am the only daughter left in my generation, and this thing is not needed. I thought, you have a host of unknown spirits around you, and you may need this ......"

As if she guessed that Su Yuan would refuse, she hurriedly added, "Even if the other party is just a harmless soul, after getting along for a long time, the body will still be affected, and you can prevent it from happening if you wear this." ”

In fact, the main function of this necklace is to resist the bewitchment of human beings by alien races. For the soul of unknown origin, Shen Momei always felt unsteady in her heart.

Su Yuan finally accepted it. Although he didn't want to inherit more of Shen Momei's favor, if he wanted to stay by Xia Yue's side for a long time, this necklace was indeed indispensable.

Ambulances whizzed down the road, and fire engine sirens could be heard in the distance.

Smoke billowed and night fell.
