Volume 2 Three Lives Chapter 22 Past Lives (5)
"Ladies and gentlemen," the Chaosheng on the table stood up and raised his glass, "Thank you for your support, Yuhuo is here to give you a glass." ”
Everyone stood up and toasted in response.
"There is one more thing," Chao Sheng said in a very flat tone, "I have recently lost an Immortal Monarch in the Changming Palace, his name is Chu Ji, I think everyone has heard of it." ”
Everyone responded:
"Who didn't know the Emperor of Chuji back then......"
"The Emperor of Chu Ji was in charge of the life and death of all living beings......"
"yes, yes......"
The corners of Chao Sheng's mouth rose slightly, and he continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't get lost, the important thing is that he has advanced his salary for a thousand years with this seat before......"
There was another uproar below.
Chaosheng was very satisfied with their reaction, "This thousand-year-old salary is not a small amount, if he doesn't come back, won't this seat lose a lot, so ......"
"Please rest assured, we will send our subordinates to inquire and help Shenjun recover the lost ......"
"That's right......"
"Yuhuo Shenjun relaxes, this little thing, it's ...... to raise your hands"
"yes, yes......"
Another echo of harmony.
Hara: "......"
Saying this is equivalent to saying that I am not looking for Chu Ji, but he is running away with the money, and I want to find my money......
Yuan Xi thought, if Chaosheng is a mortal, then he is simply a human spirit. In this way, they don't owe anyone a favor to help find people, and they have a good reputation in the so-called Yuhuo Divine Monarch. To put it simply, it is this group of powerful little immortals of the Six Realms who are sold and help count the money.
Yuan Yu chuckled lightly and made a decision to dry his clothes.
On such a grand day, many guests sent a lot of beautiful men to Chaosheng, but they were all rejected by Chaosheng one by one, she said indifferently, "I don't have to send them in the future." ”
Everyone also took people away with interest, and they had heard that the Yuhuo Divine Monarch had sent those people from the Changming Hall back, and now it was confirmed.
After Yuan Xi found out, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but he felt a little irritable in his joy.
"No, why should I be happy?" he became even more irritated at the thought.
The Demon Clan originally only came to the people sent by the White Demon Lord, the Lord of the Southeast and Southeast Regions, and he was loyal to the Demon Venerable Prayer Kite, which is beyond reproach. Unexpectedly, not only did the Western Demon Lord Fuchuan send his henchmen, but the Northern Demon Lord Qin Jian even came to the Changming Hall in person.
Chao Sheng saw Qin Jian, squinted his eyes slightly, and quickly regained his composure.
"Long time no see, Princess Elm. Qin Jian had a vague smile on his face.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe, and his slender figure looked tall and straight. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes seem to be deep and charming. is clearly a handsome young man like a good wood and a bamboo, but with a ruffian aura that seems to be nothing, his expression is flamboyant and wanton, and he looks at Chaosheng as if no one is around, but he has no evil thoughts at all, as if he is just looking at an old man who has been separated for a long time.
He opened his lips and said: "Since the last time I said goodbye, more than nine hundred years have passed, and the minister misses the princess very much. ”
is clearly a cynical temperament, but when he says this, he is very serious and sincere. There is a smile in his eyes, but his eyes are clear and clear.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Without him, just because the north is also a ruthless character, he covets the position of the leader of the demon race, and he only has power in his heart. Ever since he was born in rebellion, he has not been a subservient to anyone. Now, he is a vassal to the former demon princess, which is indeed a surprising thing.
As for Chaosheng's life experience, it is really not a secret. Anyone who has some forces in the Six Realms knows that she used to be the princess of the Demon Clan, but she left the Demon Clan a long time ago, and she has never had the intention of succeeding to the position of the Demon Venerable.
Only Chao Sheng heard Qin Jian's words, and his heart twitched unconsciously. In the past, he had always spoken to her like this, but now he had not changed at all. But many things have long since become unrecognizable.
Seeing that Chaosheng was silent, Qin Jian smiled to himself and said, "Why, doesn't the princess remember the minister?
Chao Sheng looked indifferent and said, "How come, the person who comes is a guest, the demon lord please take a seat." ”
"Don't worry," Qin Jian said, "Her Royal Highness the princess might as well take a look at the congratulatory gifts brought by the minister first, and see if you like it or not." ”
With that, a group of demon servants carried a large box of things and walked in, carrying a full thirty-six boxes.
The scene was quite grand and familiar.
Everyone present suddenly remembered one thing, one thing that was very similar to the scene today.
"It is said that more than nine hundred years ago, not long after the Yuhuo Divine Monarch succeeded to the position of the Divine Monarch of the Changming Palace, the Demon Monarch Qin Jian proposed to the Yuhuo Divine Monarch and brought twenty-four boxes of dowry gifts. Legend has it that among them, there are rare treasures, mythical beasts, spiritual pets, artifacts, musical instruments, jewelry, beads, and jade plates. It's a pity that Yuhuo Shenjun refused without thinking about it. I hadn't seen that scene before, but it was a big story at the time. An Immortal Monarch said.
Yuan Xi listened in the crowd, his eyes sank, and the hand hidden under his sleeve was secretly clenched.
"The Demon Lord might as well explain the purpose of this matter. Chao Sheng's face was still the same.
She knew that with Qin Jian's temperament, it was impossible to have nothing to do to congratulate her, and in Qin Jian's opinion, the position of the Divine Monarch of the Changming Palace, let alone being on the throne for a thousand years, even if it was 10,000 years, there was nothing to celebrate.
Qin Jian smiled and said, "It's too noisy here, we might as well change places and whisper." ”
His voice is extremely magnetic, and with the intention or unintentional elevation or deep intonation, it is impossible to make people think about it.
Once again, the guests were in an uproar.
Yuan Xi quietly disappeared into the crowd.
In the courtyard of the Changming Palace, Chao Sheng and Qin Jian walked aimlessly.
"The Demon Lord has something to say. ”
Qin Jian was a little displeased, "The princess is a demon lord, and she is very rusty." In the eyes of the princess, how can the minister be the same as others?"
"Qin Jian," Chao Sheng looked at him coldly, his tone pretending to be threatening, "Speak well, are you in arrears?"
"Hahahaha...... Qin Jian laughed heartily, "This is what you should say, the feeling back then has come back, it would be better if you smiled again." No...... You'd better look at me with a brutal and arrogant face, and then pretend to be fierce and compare the sword to my neck, and I will be more useful. ”
As he spoke, there was another hearty laugh.
Chao Sheng looked at him who was no different from before, and shook his head helplessly with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.
What Yuan Xi saw in the distance was such a relaxed and harmonious picture of talking and laughing. The men and women in the picture are not tense and tense, but reunited after a long absence, laughing and laughing. He really felt that he was really far away from her. This feeling makes him irritable, makes him feel uncomfortable, and even makes him feel ...... Saddened. There is some sourness in my heart, more of a kind of powerlessness. Powerlessness to approach her, into her heart.
Yuan Yu was taken aback by his own thoughts, how could it be! Impossible, absolutely impossible! He should not like her very much, he should hate her, at first she forced herself to stay, she held the power to kill and take in her hands, she controlled everything. She seems to be quiet and harmless, but she is in charge of her own life.
Yuan Xi tried his best to persuade himself, thinking that Asahi was not good. After a long time, he left with a messy heart.
Qin Jian sensed the appearance and disappearance of Yuan Yu, and asked casually, "I heard that the irrelevant people in the Changming Hall have been dismissed, why is there still a mortal here?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Chaosheng walked to himself, ignoring him.
When Qin Jian saw her reaction, he didn't feel strange, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Minister......
Qin Jian was about to speak, but he was uncomfortable by Chao Sheng's direct gaze, and he quickly changed his words, "I'm here to propose to the princess." ”
Chaosheng didn't answer him and continued walking. She knew what he was thinking, if he married the only daughter of the Demon Venerable, then it would be justified to unify the Demon Realm, and even the Demon Lord Saibai, who was loyal to the Demon Venerable, would not be able to oppose it at that time. At that time, there was only one Western Demon Lord Ukikawa left, and it was even easier to clean him up.
"You're calculating. Chao Sheng chuckled.
"Since you know what I'm thinking, why don't you clean me up?" Qin Jian asked with a sneer.
"It's normal for you to think so, what is there to clean up. I don't promise you, that is. ”
"No," Qin Jian sighed lightly, "Maybe that's the reason, but behind this reason, you don't care about me anymore." You don't even bother to take care of me. ”
Chao Sheng paused and pondered his words carefully. She chuckled, "Aren't you the same?"
Qin Jian smiled bitterly, "You finally laughed, but what you said hurt people like this." ”
"I'm not as mindful as I used to be now, so I'm naturally too lazy to take care of people. You're not the same person you used to be, and you certainly don't need to intercede with me. ”
"Well, I know. Qin Jian looked deep, "But marrying me is not a good choice." I'll be nice to you, and it's true. I'll make you happy, take you to eat, drink, and have fun, and take you to the kind of life you ever wanted to live the most. ”
Chaosheng smiled lightly, "That's good," she sighed heartily, with yearning in her tone, "But it's a pity, your motives were not pure from the beginning." For the sake of your demon cause, you will still abandon me without hesitation. You will be good to me, it will be for righteousness, and it will also be for the friendship of the past, but not because of love. Perhaps, it's just because of regret. ”
After Chaosheng finished speaking, she tilted her head to look at the glow in the distance, and she smiled with a shallow smile and relief.
Qin Jian smiled weakly, "A pinpoint to the point, but it goes straight to my heart." Did you know that some things are even more uncomfortable when you make them clear?
"The truth is that sometimes it's really uncomfortable.
"At the end of the day, it's just that you don't like me. But fortunately, I don't have a relationship with you, otherwise I would have died of sadness.
"Besides, it's all in the past. ”
There was a joke in his tone, a little joking, a little helpless.
"You've been smiling lately, which is great, but it's not because of me. Qin Jian's tone was filled with regret.
He said, "Keep those boxes." If it is given to you on a special trip, it can be regarded as a congratulatory gift if it is not a dowry. ”
"Gone. ”
Qin Jian left in style.
Chaosheng sighed softly in place, did not stop, and turned to leave.
As before, the opposite is true.
It's all gone.
The feast was held for three days and three nights, but Chaosheng did not show up for two days, but everyone knew a thing or two about her temperament, and they had no opinion on this.
It's just that when the feast was coming to an end, something happened anyway.
