Chapter 9: The Demon Princess
The martial arts event that was only held once in fifteen years finally came to an end, and Chu Zimu won the title of lifting people without defeat, and was admired by the younger generation of the righteous path in the world, but he never thought that he would be able to defeat the sixteen-year-old Qianxue and become a laughing stock, which made Wuji Sect's desire to suppress the Heavenly Sword Gate in front of the people of the world be disappointed.
The small sects and the scattered cultivators from all over the world were full of blessings, and finally dispersed, this trip to Lingyun Peak was really worth the trip, and for a long time in the future, there would be something to brag about.
Qianxue only stayed on Lingyun Peak for one night, and the next morning she and Xue Lingfeng set off for Zizhuling, and when they came to Chaotianmen, they saw a girl in purple constantly looking inside, obviously they had been waiting for a long time, it was Qin Xianglan, seeing Qianxue and Xue Lingfeng coming one after the other, she happily greeted her!
"Senior sister, are you going to Zizhuling with us?"
Xue Lingfeng may have been in a much lighter mood because he could finally go down the mountain, and he actually took the initiative to speak.
Qin Xianglan affectionately called Senior Sister Qianxue, then turned her head to Xue Lingfeng and pouted, "I really want to go, but Master won't let me go, I have to hurry up and practice, practice, and only practice every day! He's just afraid of losing face in front of Uncle Xiao! Hey...... Look at you, your hair is such a mess!"
As she spoke, she naturally reached out to straighten his loose hair. Xue Lingfeng instinctively wanted to dodge, but he still held back, but he trembled and used his afterglow to peek at Qianxue, and saw that she was still cold, so he looked in other directions as if he didn't see it.
After Qin Xianglan straightened his hair, she said, "Senior brother, you go over there to sit for a meeting, and I will talk to Senior Sister Qianxue!"
Xue Lingfeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Speak?"
Qin Xianglan looked at him stupidly, put her hands on her hips and put on a posture of a senior sister and said, "Yes, we talk about girls, do you want to listen!"
Xue Lingfeng frowned, so he had to turn around and walk to the other side, sat down on a boulder, and watched the emerald green branches and leaves flickering with a blurry aura, a group of unknown birds chirping up and down, and suddenly his mood was much better, like a bird that had just broken free from the cage, extremely relaxed, and after a while, he heard Qin Xianglan call him, so he got up and walked towards them.
Qin Xianglan repeatedly told Xue Lingfeng to take care of herself, watching the two figures gradually move away, she was stunned, and suddenly felt that something was missing, until the two disappeared on the long ladder, and then turned around and walked back.
Xue Lingfeng and Qianxue hurried and arrived at a very large city in the evening three days later.
This city is called 'Shifang City', it is a famous city of great importance since ancient times, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is a hub passage connecting all directions, and it has developed into a considerable scale now, and it is the largest city in Middle-earth today.
There are rich merchants, commoners, nobles, and beggars, heroes and chivalrous, evil demons, and charlatans.
Xue Lingfeng has been in a particularly good mood since he left Lingyun Peak, looking at all kinds of ordinary things along the way, he feels novel and interesting, relaxed and energetic, and it seems that the playful and curious temperament of his childhood has gradually awakened again. Compared to Qianxue next to him, he looked more like a child.
Qianxue barely said a few words to Xue Lingfeng along the way, but with her arrogant temperament, she unexpectedly endured her temper and left everything up to him.
Shifang City in the evening was very lively, the crowd was bustling and noisy, Qianxue's peerless appearance attracted a large number of passers-by to watch and discuss, Xue Lingfeng followed her, there was no obvious expression, her clothes were untidy, her hair was messy, and she looked down, which also made people point and discuss.
He cautiously squinted at Qianxue, and saw that her face was expressionless, but there was a look of disgust in her eyes, and he couldn't help but worry about these spectators who didn't know the height of the sky, if a careless Haoyue Divine Sword swung casually, he would definitely die, but fortunately, although this cold beauty felt disgusted, he was not a butcher who killed living beings at will.
Qianxue led Xue Lingfeng straight towards an inn, only to see a plaque hanging on the door of the inn, engraved with the words 'guest residence', the owner is an enthusiastic middle-aged young woman, after seeing Qianxue, she greeted her with a smile on her face, obviously the two have already met, I think Qianxue stayed here when she went to Lingyun Peak, and there is still a room left.
The people in the store stopped what they were doing at this time, staring intently at Qianxue, this is not a famous big inn, and it is not a street, but at this time there are a lot of people gathered, and the entire inn hall is full, the reason is that I saw Qianxue here a few days ago, and I heard the boss say that she would come back for a night in a few days, so she called friends to come here and wait.
Even if you can take a look at such a peerless beauty, it will be worth waiting for a few more days.
Qianxue didn't say much, smiled lightly and asked for a pot of herbal tea and two bowls of noodles, the noodles here are extremely delicious, as soon as they are on the table, they are fragrant, after a day's journey, his stomach is hungry and growling, Xue Lingfeng didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks and buried his head in eating, only to hear the sound of sighing and cheering, and a little soup kept flying out of the bowl.
He wolfed down a few bites and then raised his head, and saw Qianxue looking at him with tea, so he looked away again, so he smiled stupidly and continued to eat noodles, only for a short while, and there was not even a little soup left in a big bowl of noodles.
Xue Lingfeng had just put down his chopsticks when he heard Qianxue say, "You, you're very hungry!"
Xue Lingfeng smiled innocently, avoided her gaze and replied embarrassedly, "Well, that...... I'm a little hungry. ”
Qian Xue looked at his honest and silly appearance, smiled slightly in her heart, then looked at him, and then looked at the remaining bowl of noodles, Xue Lingfeng understood, smiled at her, took the bowl of noodles and ate it again.
A smile flashed on Qianxue's face, and she looked at Xue Lingfeng who was immersed in eating noodles in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
On the corridor on the second floor, there were three people looking at them at this time, two old men, one was thin and short, his eyes were shining, and his black robe was unusually wide, almost covering his already thin body, and the other was in a coarse cloth shirt, but he was burly and fat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
In the middle is a young girl, with long black hair, only a bun at random at the back of her head, her skin is almost blown, her facial features are exquisite, and her face is beautiful.
I saw that her eyes were clear, soft and sharp, a little innocent in her intelligence, and a little evil.
The figure is tall and plump, the big place is big and the small place is small, exquisitely convex and beautiful, and a corset of fiery red clothes makes her figure even more convex and concave, which is extremely annoying!
These three people are the wind demon 'Feng Impermanence', the fire demon 'Fire Desire', and the only daughter of the Demon Emperor's 'Dancing Princess' among the four major guardian demon kings of the Heavenly Demon Sect today, and there must be something unusual for such characters to appear here.
Princess Dancing looked at the two people below for a while, and said with a little surprise on her face: "The sword in the beautiful girl's hand is Haoyue?"
Huo Zhongyi narrowed his eyes with the copper bell, and a smile flashed with approval on his face: "The princess has good eyesight, this sword is one of the five swords of Tianmen Haoyue eighteen years ago, eighteen years ago, after its owner retired as before, this sword also disappeared, and today it reappears in the hands of this woman, this woman must have a lot to do with the past!"
Feng Wuchang also replied: "This girl can control a divine sword like Haoyue at a young age, she is talented, she is a rookie behind the Heavenly Sword Sect, not to be underestimated!"
Wu Mei pouted, rolled her eyes, and said, "You dignified Heavenly Demon Sect two demon kings, are you still afraid of a little girl! Well, that man...... Seems to be a little more interesting!"
She was talking, but her eyes never left the two downstairs, a pair of wonderful eyes scanned back and forth on Xue Lingfeng and Qianxue, Qianxue's white-clothed Shengxue's peerless face was shocking, and Xue Lingfeng's coarse cloth and simple clothes were sloppy, and the two sat together and were very different.
Huo Zhongyi smiled lightly and said: "This is not it, it's just that this is a big act, since the Haoyue Divine Sword has reappeared, we should be careful!"
The three of them looked at each other for a while, then turned and went into the house.
Qianxue waited for Xue Lingfeng to finish eating the noodles, asked him for another room, and then went back to the room by herself, walked for a day, only drank a few cups of herbal tea, and didn't eat anything at all!
In the middle of the night, Xue Lingfeng couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, he had long been used to being lonely, but for some reason he was always feeling uneasy now, and he was inexplicably a little nervous in his heart.
There was a thin wind blowing outside the window, and there was a rustling sound, he opened the window, and the moonlight in the courtyard was full of the fifteenth moon, so he carefully opened the door, and saw that the light was still burning in Qianxue's house, so he gently closed the door and went downstairs.
At the back of the inn is a chic small garden, there is a small pavilion in it, Xue Lingfeng walked in, but there was a woman in the pavilion, dressed in fiery red clothes was very conspicuous, it was the dancing princess, obviously had noticed him.
Xue Lingfeng wanted to turn around and go back, but after thinking about it, he walked over, and when he passed by Wumei's side, he didn't make a sound and didn't look at her and walked over directly, when he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a crisp voice, and said with a slight anger: "Hey, why are you so rude, you won't hit anyone when you see someone!"
Princess Dancing is the only daughter of the Demon Emperor, and she is beautiful, there are more people who usually love her, and no one has ever ignored her when no one passes by her, and when she saw Xue Lingfeng walking over with an expressionless face, her heart suddenly became angry!
During the day, she was very interested in Xue Lingfeng's honest and slightly shy appearance, this person was not at all like the famous Tianjian Sect people, and he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, looking sloppy and down, but next to him was a peerless beauty holding the Haoyue Divine Sword, and she had been thinking about finding a chance to test him, but she didn't expect to meet it here, it was a great opportunity to find fault, and she naturally wouldn't let it go this time!
Xue Lingfeng was suddenly reprimanded by a big girl, and suddenly trembled and didn't even dare to look at her, and said hurriedly: "I...... I...... I...... I don't know you. ”
He had been on Lingyun Peak before, except for his senior sister Qin Xianglan, he hadn't spoken a few words to a few girls, and many times he was alone, and he was even more unsociable.
The dancing charm looked at his stupid appearance, and also learned his tone and said, "I...... I...... I...... I...... Even if you don't know each other, a big man should say hello when he sees the girl's house!"
Xue Lingfeng sighed and hurriedly said, "See ...... I've seen the girl...... Home!"
He said and didn't forget to clench his fists mechanically. Seeing his stupid appearance, Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud, but her smile made Xue Lingfeng even more nervous, standing stupidly in place and holding his fist I don't know what to do, the whole person didn't know where to put it, Wu Mei looked at him, and finally couldn't help laughing!
finally finished laughing, sat down on the stone bench, picked up the snacks on the stone table and ate them, and saw that Xue Lingfeng was still standing stupidly, so he said to him: "Look at what you are still standing stupidly, sit down and eat something, this is late at night, chat with me for a while!"
Xue Lingfeng glanced at the dancing charm with his afterglow and quickly retracted his gaze, secretly saying in his heart that this person was born with such a beautiful face, and he was comparable to Senior Sister Qianxue, and saw that she seemed to have no anger with a smile on her face, but he still didn't dare to provoke her, and took a breath and said, "No...... No more!"
Since the dancing charm is trying to find faults, she naturally won't give up, so she smiled and continued: "Hey, this is a good sweet cake, I don't know how much better than that noodle! You even ate two big bowls today! You even ate the bowl of the girl's house!"
Xue Lingfeng's face turned a little red all of a sudden, and he asked tremblingly, "You...... How do you know?"
"Hey, the woman with you is very beautiful, but she's a little cold!
Wu Mei avoided Xue Lingfeng's question, but found out his details.
Xue Lingfeng calmed down a little and said, "Sort of!"
"What do you mean, yes or no? You grew up together? Hey, sit down, I won't eat you!"
Wu Mei was in a hurry, and her tone couldn't help but bring a little anger again. Xue Lingfeng hurriedly and cautiously sat down opposite the dancing charm, but he still didn't dare to look at her squarely, so he lowered his gaze and replied, "I've only met her for a few days!"
Wu Mei sighed, and said to herself thoughtfully: "Yes, I left the Heavenly Sword Gate eighteen years ago and lived in seclusion alone in Zizhuling!"
Seeing her mention the past, Xue Lingfeng actually took the initiative to ask, "Do you know my uncle? I'm going to see her!"
The dancing charm hurriedly said, "No...... I don't know, but I just heard that you just made a special trip to see your uncle?"
Xue Lingfeng's nervousness gradually eased a little, and he immediately replied, "Yes, Senior Sister came to Lingyun Peak specifically to take me to see Senior Uncle!"
Hey, this stupid stinky boy is unsuspecting of people, he is completely unconscious of things like sinister rivers and lakes, unpredictable people's hearts, etc.
"Oh, hey, you try this sweet cake, it's delicious! It's boring to eat alone, eat a piece!"
The dancing charm looked relieved, picked up a large piece and handed it over, and came to Xue Lingfeng's mouth, Xue Lingfeng tilted his head back, but the dancing charm still kept coming up, so he had no choice but to get up and retreat.
Xue Lingfeng's emotions, which had calmed down a little, suddenly became nervous again, and he stepped back, saying again and again: "No...... No...... No more!"
"Why are you so unforgiving!"
Wu Mei's face changed, he threw the cookie in his hand on the table, and slapped it forward with a palm of his jade hand, Xue Lingfeng suddenly felt a strange force pushing him back, and he stumbled into the pillar behind him, shook it a few times and almost fell, and hurriedly hugged the pillar with both hands and leaned on it.
At the same time, the dancing ghost's figure flashed, and he came forward like a ghost, and the jade hand pressed Xue Lingfeng's head and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I killed you!"
On this day, the princess of the Demon Sect turned her face faster than she turned a book, and the sudden hair flutter made Xue Lingfeng frightened a lot, gasping for breath, and a strange fragrance that had never been seen before suddenly rushed into her nose, and she had an itch in her nose, and couldn't help but let out a big sneeze with a 'sneeze', and sprayed a few spit stars on her two snow-white breasts.
Wu Mei immediately dodged and retreated, looked down at his chest, and suddenly blushed slightly, pointing at Xue Lingfeng with his mouth wide open and not knowing what to say.
Xue Lingfeng was so ugly that his face was redder than the dancing charm, and he quickly stood up tremblingly and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Up, girl, I'm ...... I ......"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Wumei's eyes, but when she saw his embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and took a few breaths and said: "Little brother, I'm sorry, it turns out that you really don't have any cultivation, I'm here to accompany you, come and I'll invite you to eat cakes!"
As he spoke, he picked up some of the delicate cookies on the table and handed them over. Xue Lingfeng stood in place in a daze, not knowing whether he was stunned by the dancing charm, or if he hadn't reacted to her repeated and sudden temperament, so he had to mechanically reach out and catch the cake.
"Come, eat more!"
Wu Mei picked up a few more pieces of the big piece and stuffed it, Xue Lingfeng took it mechanically, and held it all in his hand, Wu Mei looked at him and couldn't help but want to laugh again!
"Hmm...... It's late, I'm going back, huh...... Goodbye, girl!"
Xue Lingfeng seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he didn't dare to look at the dancing charm anymore, holding a few sweet cakes, and hurriedly walked out of the garden.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Xue Lingfeng!"
"Your surname is Xue?"
The dancing charm still wanted to ask, but Xue Lingfeng had already walked out of the garden and soon disappeared and couldn't be seen!
"Xue Lingfeng, Ling Feng, it's pretty good! Xue Xiaotian, Xue Lingfeng, is it ......?"
The dancing girl leaned against the railing of the gazebo, put her feet on the stone bench, stirred the spoon in the cup casually, and looked at the full moon in the middle of the sky and muttered to herself thoughtfully.
Xue Lingfeng walked to his room with a lot of sweet cakes in both hands, and finally calmed down, so he stretched out his mouth and took a bite, only to feel that the fragrance was crispy and soft but too sweet, not his favorite taste.
When she came upstairs, she saw that the lights were still on in Qianxue's room, and she thought that she had eaten her noodles, but she didn't eat anything today, so she hesitated for a while and plucked up the courage to walk towards her room, and said with a heated mood: "Senior Sister Qianxue, I haven't slept yet, I'm Xue Lingfeng." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qianxue's slightly cold voice came from inside: "Come in! The door is unlocked!"
Xue Lingfeng carefully opened the door with his elbow, and saw Qianxue squatting on the bed, guessing that she should have been meditating and practicing just now. Qian Xue saw that he was holding some cakes in both hands, and he looked very embarrassed, so he spoke first, "Is there something wrong?"
"Hmm...... Today, that ...... Here's this for you!"
Xue Lingfeng said and put all the cookies in his hand on the teacup on the table, overlapping them one by one, then turned around and walked out of the door, walked a few steps and turned around, smiled at Qianxue, and took back the cookie with a big mouth print, which he had just bitten.
Qianxue looked at the piece of cake and smiled slightly in her heart, her face was still cold and silent, but she felt warm inexplicably. After Xue Lingfeng went out, she got out of bed and took a bite of a piece of cake, which was a little sweeter, but it was a fragrance she liked, so she ate a few pieces one after another.
