Lu Li was taken by Qi Pingliu to the shore of the North Underworld, and returned to the demon clan station with the "help" of Lao Kun.

Huang Ning exchanged a few words with Lu Li, and then tested the purpose of her return from this trip.

"Elder Huang, I didn't think that I would inherit the mantle and status of my master, and my senior brother was busy with the affairs of the demon realm, and he lacked skills. As disciples, we have failed the great trust of the master and his old man, and we are really guilty in our hearts. Especially in the past few days, I often dream of Master, dreaming of the secret realm, I think that maybe Master blames me, so I took advantage of the North Underworld to see Lao Kun's predecessors, and came here to see everyone. ”

Huang Ning was beating a drum in his heart, but his face did not change at all. "Elder Lu, since you miss everyone, of course you are welcome to come back and see us. Besides, the demon of our secret realm, the phrase 'welcome home' is not in vain. Although the secret realm is gone, as long as there is a demon clan, it is your home, and you are welcome to come back at any time. ”

Huang Ning paused and said: "Lu Li, everyone voted for me for the secret realm back then, maybe they thought you were too young, and at that time, our secret realm had just suffered a catastrophe, and everyone was ...... I'm afraid, and I don't completely distrust you. Over the years, you haven't heard from you, and I've always felt guilty, I should have tried my best to keep you against the crowd at that time!

Alas, over the years, I, Huang Ning, consider myself conscientious and conscientious, and I dare not slack off for a day. However, my ability is really limited, and every day there is this dissatisfaction, that dissatisfaction, I really ...... Only now do I know that the Great Elder seemed to be light and light, but in fact he worked hard. Moreover, the current demon clan is even more eventful than that time, without the protection of the secret realm and the seat of the great elder, many things can only be re-adapted, and many rules must be re-established.

Let's just say now, it has been summer for a long time, and many people can't bear the heat and want to go to the North to cool off, but you also know that the patriarch of the North Hells is really unkind, and he looks at us very strictly. Those adult goblins are fine, the children look at the northern dark water every day, but they can't get close. Those goblins in the water are even more greedy.

Of course, this can't be blamed on the patriarch of the Northern Underworld, we live here, so we naturally have to listen to the arrangements of the host's family. Also, the weather in this demon world is really extreme, when it's cold, when the water is splashed out, it instantly freezes and smashes to the ground. Now it's summer, and it's hot and dry abnormally. Although we have cultivated to the point where we don't have to eat and drink, and we are not as sensitive to the changes of the heavens as mortals, it is just that there are many inconveniences in life, and the adult goblins will naturally endure it, and the children are pitiful.

A lot of goblins, because of these things that I can't change, have a lot of grievances against me.

Alas, Lu Li, it's just you who come, I can talk to you, otherwise I don't even have someone to talk to, I'm afraid that everyone will know that I'm like this, and I feel that my heart is fragile and it's difficult to take on a big responsibility, so I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. ”

Lu Li'an listened quietly, of course she knew that it was not easy to be an elder. Before the secret realm was not attacked, even with the support of Xiang Bei and the assistance of the silver-haired mother-in-law, she took charge of the affairs of the secret realm, and there were still many obstacles, not to mention Huang

Ning, he has never been in charge of the affairs of the secret realm, he has directly crossed over from the patriarch of the first clan to become the great elder, all kinds of hardships, even if Huang Ning doesn't say it, Lu Li can guess a thing or two.

Lu Li comforted Huang Ning and said, "Elder Huang, you have worked hard all these years. It's just that everyone is counting on you, so don't be discouraged. ”

Huang Ning nodded, and said with a smile: "I don't know what's wrong today, I haven't seen Elder Lu for a long time, and I actually said so much in one breath." Oops, you just came back, and I haven't prepared a place for you to stay, it's really rude, rude. ”

When Lu Li saw Huang Ning standing up, he quickly stood up as well, and said, "Elder Huang, Elder Huang, no need, no need." As I just said, I'm just coming back to see, and I don't plan to stay permanently, I'm going to follow...... I'm going to continue to study abroad. ”

"Do you want to go on a study tour?"

"yes, I used to think I was human, and I never thought of going out of the house to see outside. I'm not afraid of your jokes, at that time, I wanted to get married and have children as soon as possible, and I had something to rely on. Haha, but now that I find that I will live for a long time, I feel that I am living in the world, and if I don't go out for a walk and see, I have wasted such a great river and mountain, such a beautiful scenery. Maybe it's because I've gotten used to walking outside in recent years, but if you really want me to stop, I'm still a little unused to it. ”

"Oh?" Huang Ning pretended to be puzzled, "Elder Lu really won't come back to live?"

Lu Li nodded, "I'll go out and see everyone now." ”

"Ahh Huang Ning nervously stepped to Lu Li's side, "I'll take you there, so I can introduce you to how everyone lives and activities now." ”

Lu Li said with a smile: "If Elder Huang has something, I can go by myself, and I don't need to trouble Elder Huang too much." ”

"How can you be troublesome, besides, you are a disciple of Elder Xiang Peking University, and you are also our elder, I should tell you about the current situation. ”

Lu Li thought for a moment, "Then trouble Elder Huang." ”

Huang Ning took Lu Li to visit around, and when Lu Li saw that everyone came to see her, he felt a burst of warmth.

"Elder Huang, I have been taken around by you like this, and I can know how difficult it is for you, and I also know that you are really for the secret realm, and you can be regarded as doing your best. I, Lu Li, am ashamed of myself, admire and admire!" Lu Li clasped his hands into fists, "Elder Huang, I have also seen everyone, and I have seen that everyone is doing well, then I am relieved." It's not too early, and it's time for me to take my leave. ”

"Is Elder Lu staying in the Northern Underworld tonight?"

"Yes, I originally came to see the old kun's seniors. ”

"Why don't you stay here, there are so many tents here, we'll clean one up for you right away." ”

"No need, Senior Kun has my room there, and he has been helping me keep it. I won't bother Elder Huang and everyone. ”

"This ......"

"Elder Huang, Lu Li farewell. Lu Li clenched his fists and simply returned to the North Underworld.

On the shore, Huang Ning gathered some goblins around him, and everyone was very nervous, but fortunately, Huang Ning personally accompanied Lu Li, and no one dared to tell the truth to Lu Li.

"This Lu Li, is it really just to take a look at this time?"

"It's just right to come. ”

"Great Elder?"

"Isn't it almost cleaned up now? What can those who shout every day have the ability, and those who are deeply hidden are the real hidden dangers. Now that Lu Li is here, he is just helping us cheat, I'm afraid someone will not be able to sit still tonight, we just happened to come and wait for the rabbit. ”

"The Great Elder is clever. ”

——

"Xiao Luli, why are you back?"

Lu Li looked at Lao Kun suspiciously, and Lao Kun had no choice but to say: "You are an elder, you don't live in the demon clan, you live in my northern underworld, what should you do with those little cubs in the future?"

The corners of Lu Li's mouth rose, "No." ”

"How can you be sure?"

Lu Li couldn't help but smile and said mysteriously: "I heard everyone say that the patriarch of the North Darkness is very unkind, and everyone dare not approach the North Darkness, for fear of being swallowed by him in one gulp." ”

Lao Kun smiled helplessly, he took out his cigarette pouch, shook his head and said, "Those cubs, if I don't do this, I'm afraid they will ride on my head and." ”

"How could it be, the senior said with a smile. ”

Lao Kun took a few puffs of cigarette, and finally said to Lu Li: "I thought that you would tell me to open the seaside and give the goblins a bigger place to move." ”

Lu Li was already half-sitting and half-lying in the place most suitable for enjoying the scenery, lazy. This is where Lao Kun deliberately stayed when he built the underwater house. In the middle of the steps, a vacant space in line with the human body is deliberately dug out, and the person sits on the first step, the elbow can be propped up on the upper step, and the raised position on the side can be a teacup and a wine glass.

Lu Li leaned on the cushion behind his back, looking up at the vast ocean of the North Underworld. Suddenly, a kun swam by, as if it were covering the sky and the sun, and it was followed by many small fish, according to the old kun, those small fish were pecking at the parasites on the kun's body, and when he was a kun, he liked the small fish to follow him, and he protected the small fish from predators in the northern underworld, and the small fish helped him keep his body clean.

"Senior, when you look up every day, you can see your family, right?"

"Family?" Lao Kun was stunned for a moment, "I am not married, so I have no offspring, and my parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters are not cultivating enough to live forever." So in this world, there is no family for a long time. ”

Lu Li looked sideways at Lao Kun, who was smoking dry cigarettes, for a long time, before finally looking at the ocean.

"I went back to the demon clan today, and I didn't seem to recognize the people there. Some of them look familiar, and I don't know if I've seen them in the secret realm before. After all, over the years, Mingyang and I have watched the human world every day, and the more people have seen it, the more we can't remember where we saw the familiar face.

Senior, although I haven't lived in the secret realm for a few years, I have seen a lot of people. I don't like that Mingyang and I can apprentice to the Great Elder as soon as we arrive in the secret realm, the animals in the forest who have no quarrel with the world, and the old man who has been researching and planting vegetables in the market for thousands of years...... I was impressed by all kinds of people. But when the secret realm was attacked, these people who had shocked me deeply seemed to be fighting to the death, living and dying with the secret realm.

Before, I wanted to come back, and now, how disappointed I am. It's not that I'm disappointed in the demon clan, it's just that I suddenly don't know why I came back, the demon clan I once wanted to protect so much, I suddenly don't know, who do I want to protect?"
