Chapter 3: Picking up a little fox
He didn't know how the little fox had followed him all the way back, the Three Emperors Well was not a place for this little thing, it could be eaten by wolves at any time. And it was still sleeping so deeply, and it still smelled of wine, could it be that he secretly drank the old wine in his yard......? He laughed softly, his clear eyebrows curled beautifully, and it seemed to carry a little pity. He picked up the little one on the ground, and the fox's fur was red and shiny, warm and soft. The first time he saw a fiery red fox in his life, it was still nine tails, so rare, it seemed that this fox was not small. He couldn't help but think of Qingqiu, the fox king of Qingqiu, was a nine-tailed silver fox, and the nine-tailed red fox had never heard of it.
The little fox in his arms moved restlessly, changed to a more comfortable position and continued to sleep. Only then did he find that there was a red mark on its eyebrows, and he couldn't help but think of the green-clothed boy who performed his charm on the gatekeeper demon in Luluo Mountain a few days ago, but he happened to meet it at that time, and he didn't want to meddle in his affairs, it had nothing to do with him, he never liked to ask more, so he didn't debunk that person's little trick at that time. But I didn't expect that person to have such a relationship with Cang Yan, although he has no interest in other people's private affairs, but it's good to watch a play occasionally. If he remembered correctly, there was a similar mark on the forehead of the man in green at that time, is he also a fox? He shook his head, and then denied the conjecture in his heart, although the demon fox did not distinguish between genders after the transformation, but he was sure that the one in his hand must be a female fox, how could it be him? Moreover, if it was that person, he would not go to Cang Yan and follow him to do something.
He was worried about what to do with this little guy, he couldn't take it with him, no matter what, and he was afraid that it would run into those wolf clans who were eyeing him, and he was feeling troubled, when he heard Tsing Yi walk in and stop behind the curtain.
"Your Royal Highness Huang, are you back?" respectfully as usual, I didn't dare to trespass in the slightest, but I didn't need any notice to enter and leave this Zihuan Hall at will, probably except for the second prince, and she was the only one, which shows that this woman has won the trust of men.
"Well, come in. "The sound inside the curtain is always faint.
Tsing Yi lifted the curtain and nodded slightly to the man sitting in the chair, which was considered a salute, and then her eyes glanced at the red fox that the man was holding in his arms. Her cold and beautiful face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, "Your Highness, where did you get this fox, the color is very rare." ”
"This red fox has been following me back from Luluo Mountain. The man glanced up at her, neither lightly nor seriously, "Do you like it?"
Tsing Yi shook his head, "I don't like it." ”
"Then release it back into the mountains and forests, and remember to choose a place with few wolves as much as possible, and let it fend for itself. After coldly instructing, he handed over the hot potato to Tsing Yi.
Fending for himself? The red fox, who woke up in a daze, moved his ears slightly, and seemed to raise his eyebrows.
Tsing Yi glanced at the animal in his hand, who knew that the fox seemed to feel abandoned, suddenly opened his eyes, bit her palm, and jumped to the ground quickly, the smooth red hair stood up because of anger, and stared at the two people above her head with displeasure.
Tsing Yi tried to grab it, but it took a few steps backwards and looked at her warily.
"Forget it, Tsing Yi. The man stopped her suddenly, and then said to the little guy on the ground, "It seems that you don't want to go, so stay here." ”
Tsing Yi was puzzled: "Your Highness, do you want to raise this fox?"
"Why not?"
"Nope. "What he decided, how dare she say more.
The corner of the man's mouth seemed to smile, and there was an imperceptible tenderness on his face, and he said to the hair ball on the ground: "Come here." ”
The red fox hesitated for a moment, timidly and slowly approached the man, stopped again, and saw that the man's eyes were light, so he jumped into the man's arms in three steps and two steps, and rubbed his white clothes affectionately as a gesture of goodwill.
He only said that this red fox was petite and young, and he had not turned into a human form, perhaps because his cultivation was still shallow, but what he never expected was that on the second day, he was alert to someone around him, and suddenly woke up, and saw a slim girl lying on his bedside, looking at him with a coquettish smile, and he was so startled that he immediately turned over and sat up, but fortunately he slept with clothes.
"Who are you and why are you in my room?" the voice was as cold as snow, and Xu was so surprised that he forgot about the red fox he had placed in the cubicle.
"Why did you forget me so quickly, and you said you were going to raise me yesterday. Xiyan pursed her lips a little depressedly, but there were ripples in her angry starry eyes, and her voice was like the first chirp of a warbler.
He was surprised, "Are you ...... The red fox?" but he didn't need her answer, when he saw a little cinnabar on the woman's eyebrows, he already knew it, but he didn't have time to think about how to deal with this sudden ...... Met.
"Yes, no, I drank your wine yesterday, and it was so delicious, but I couldn't help but drink more, and I accidentally changed back to my real body, and I can't change back until today." The young woman in front of her sat up straight, smiled smartly, and the pear vortex on her cheeks was shallow, making her pink cheeks more like the morning glow reflecting the snow.
His slightly detached gaze quietly examined the woman in front of him, without powder, it was natural, and her face was like Shunhua. The beauty of the Three Emperors is like a cloud, it's not that he hasn't seen it, but the one in front of him, even if it is the appearance of a beauty from the Three Realms, is extremely unattainable. It is a kind of beauty that is ingeniously between delicate and charming, especially the cinnabar red between the eyebrows, which is the ultimate fusion of two completely different styles, which makes people's hearts ripple.
However, he didn't have such feelings. No matter how beautiful things in the world are, they are just a flash in the pan for him.
"Why did you follow me a few days ago?" he said in the same cold tone as ever, and he couldn't help frowning slightly when he thought she was just a little fox and treated her like a pet yesterday.
"I ...... I'm lost. Her voice was a little timid, and she casually made up a reason that even she couldn't believe.
He didn't bother to expose her lies, just asked, "Where's home?"
"I live in Qingqiu. ”
Sure enough, it was the same as he guessed. "Now that you have turned back into a human form, I will ask Tsing Yi to send you back. ”
"Huh?" Xiyan suddenly screamed.
He raised an eyebrow, "What?"
She didn't want to go back so soon, she finally came secretly without telling Cang Yan, if she was sent back like this, how could she be willing. So she looked at him pitifully, her expression was really like crying, "I can't go back, my brother kicked me out of the house, I have nowhere to go, can you take me in for a while?"
knew that what the woman said was not the truth, but the reason she made up was too far-fetched. Looking at her beautiful eyes with affection and rippling water, he suddenly felt a little funny, so he became interested, wanting to hear how she should lie next, so he asked, "Who is your brother, why did you drive you out?" Although his face was still indifferent, his voice was indescribably gentle. As soon as the words fell, even he himself was slightly surprised, and sure enough, the men in the world were sad about the beauty, and after realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"My brother's name is Cang Yan!" As soon as Cang Yan was said, Xi Yan's eyebrows suddenly rose, and his expression was radiant, looking at that look, it didn't look like he was being driven out at all, but like he mentioned someone who made him happy.
The man was stunned, as if confirmed: "Cang Yan, Cang Yan, the fox king of Qingqiu?"
Xiyan nodded. But you don't have to think about it to know that apart from the Nine-Tailed Silver Fox King, there is anyone else in Qingqiu who is called this name. He should have expected that the nine-tailed red fox, there has not been one in the world for thousands of years, if it comes from Qingqiu, it is possible, and there is such a beauty, if it is not for Cang Yan's sister who has escaped from the world, I am afraid that he will not be able to find a second one.
But if she is Cang Yan's sister, then she came to the Three Emperors Well this time, does Cang Yan know it? If that rumor is true, with Cang Yan's temperament, if he knows that his favorite sister is sitting on the side of his bed now, I think it will not be easy in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about the days ahead, so he smiled helplessly.
This smile is really terrible, the man's lonely face was slightly moved by the smile, the thin and lightly pursed lips were slightly raised, and under the sword eyebrows that flew obliquely, a pair of phoenix eyes gradually had a little temperature, just like the breeze blowing through the calm ice lake, blooming with the brilliance of the spring sun. Unexpectedly, this person was as beautiful as Cang Yan when he smiled, and Xiyan couldn't help but be stunned.
But the laughter was fleeting, and Xiyan woke up after a while, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. Then you say, why did Cang Yan drive you out?"
"Uh...... Well...... "Xiyan's eyes rolled, and his inspiration moved," because a few days ago, I secretly went to Luluo Mountain without his consent, and I disguised myself as a man to make him ugly in public, and Cang Yan was angry and didn't let me go home. You also know that he usually looks fierce, and if anyone provokes him, it will be even more terrifying, so how dare I go home now, at least after he is angry. "I'm sorry Cang Yan, I didn't mean to speak ill of you behind my back.
"Are you the green-clothed boy who was with Cang Yan at the banquet that day?"
"Do you remember, I saw you at the door that day!"
“...... Remember. "How could he not remember that he could see the process of her enchantment from beginning to end, and later there was such a big disturbance at the banquet that it was difficult to forget. He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Cang Yan, with such a sister who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, it must be a headache.
Xiyan seemed to remember something, "hmm", and stared at him.
He didn't ask, just waited for her to speak.
"You haven't told me your name yet!"
It turned out to be this, followed him for a few days, but I didn't even know his name.
"Glorious. He spat out two words.
Glorious ...... What a good name, she silently remembered it in her heart. "My name is Xiyan! I heard them all call you Your Highness, you are the future wolf king?"
Youhuang shook his head, "I still have a younger brother, and it's still too early to inherit the throne. He paused and held his forehead, "You, can you go out first?"
Only then did Xiyan realize that she was still staying in someone's room, so she waited outside with great interest.
It didn't take long for Youhuang to come out neatly dressed, his long hair was held high behind his head by an ebony hairpin, the whole person looked refreshing and dusty, and a few strands of black hair under the corners of his temples made him a little more easy-going in his heroic spirit. He is undoubtedly full of the spirit of a king, but he is not as rigid and cold as the imaginary wolf clan and makes people fearful. Around him, in addition to indifference, there is also a tenderness that seems to be absent, but ordinary people will only be shocked by his cold and arrogant eyes, and ignore the other side of his handsome face.
"Youhuang, why don't you look like a wolf demon?"
Youhuang asked strangely, "Then what do you say the wolf demon should be?"
"It's just very domineering, fierce and vicious, but you don't look fierce at all, I think you're quite easy to talk. ”
This is the first time someone has commented on him like this, but who said that the wolf demon must be fierce and irritable, and Youhuang didn't bother to discuss this topic with her. "You're like a fox. He dropped a word and walked out on his own.
Xiyan followed closely and asked weakly, "I want to stay here, do you agree or not?"
Youhuang stopped and looked back at her, "It's up to you, but it's okay, I don't have time to play with you, and since you are the sister of the fox king Cangyan, I have to inform him anyway, I don't want to make the entire Three Emperors Well and Qingqiu unhappy because of you." ”
"Ah, if you really want to tell him, he'll get me back right away......"
Youhuang raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "Didn't you say that you were kicked out, how could he still arrest you back? ”
Xi Yan suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth and covered his mouth, but looking at his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he obviously knew that she was lying, but he deliberately pretended not to know what she said, so he cocked his mouth and said, "How are you more cunning than a fox!"
Youhuang smiled lightly, "Is the fox king also cunning on weekdays?"
Xiyan shook his head, "It's not, it's just that every time I want to go out with him, he prevaricates me with various reasons, and I can't refute it, I don't let me go there, I don't have any other friends, I'm suffocated to death in Qingqiu alone." ”
Youhuang probably knew why Cang Yan didn't let her out, like her, if she really let the demons of the four desolations know, maybe it would cause a lot of jealousy. But she hasn't had any friends for thousands of years, although Qingqiu is big, but with her lively and active nature, she thinks it's very lonely and difficult, and I can't help but want to help her. Moreover, he also wanted to see the calm fox king, to know how she would react after she disappeared, and whether it would make everyone in the demon world know.
"I can help you hide from Cang Yan for the time being, so that he doesn't know that you are with me, but after 7 days, you will go home obediently. ”
With Youhuang's permission, Xiyan suddenly danced with his eyebrows, grabbed Youhuang's arm, and smiled, "I know that you won't expose my whereabouts, and we will be friends from now on." ”
Youhuang's eyes moved to the two hands, the color was as pale as water, but it also made Xiyan let go stupidly. Usually I am used to it, but I can't change it for a while.
Xiyan finally stayed as she wished, and she was happy, running behind Youhuang every day, without stopping.
