Chapter 19: The Dragon Maiden's Heart
Ao Shu didn't stay long, as soon as Ao Feng's words fell, she hugged Li Shuyu and left the Coral Palace with an angry face.
Although Li Shuyu is not a little clever ghost, after seeing the lovers of Zixiao Zhenjun and Luo Xi Yuanjun, she also has some understanding of the careful thinking between men and women, so she looked up at Ao Shu's cheeks that were so red with anger that she asked in a low voice, "That...... Shangxian ...... Do you like this big brother ...... dragon?"
Ao Shu's hand holding her suddenly let go, Li Shuyu broke away from protection without warning, and fell from mid-air like a wild goose with an arrow, and was about to hit the bare mountain cliff, and was pulled back by Ao Shu at the last moment.
"Up...... Shangxian ......" Li Shuyu trembled with fright, "If you don't want me to ask, just say no, and it will become a ......."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to. Ao Shu rubbed her head a little apologetically, sighed, and said, "I was just startled by you suddenly poking at the center." ”
Li Shuyu was afraid that she would not say the right thing, so she quickly swore: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense to anyone!"
"It doesn't make a difference if you talk nonsense or not, there are more people who know, and they don't mind having more of you. Ao Shu smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Qi Feng didn't know how many times he laughed at me because of this before, and now I see that he doesn't even bother to lose his temper." ”
"What's so funny about this kind of thing!" Li Shuyu thought of her arduous love journey, and couldn't help but say indignantly: "Is the sincerity of my daughter's family used to ridicule?"
She is still a little fox, blinking her big eyes and slapping her paws indignantly looks cute and funny, Ao Shu can't help but be amused by her, and her mood is finally a little better.
"What mountain is Mengke's dwelling? I'll send you back. ”
Only then did Li Shuyu notice that the sun had set in the west, and she had been going down the mountain for a long time, and Meng Ke and Lilanjing were afraid that they would be in a hurry to find her all over the mountain.
"It's on the highest mountain, the one with the spring at the top!"
Ao Shu looked down, recognized the top of the mountain, retreated, and the clouds fell, and landed steadily at the gate of the cave where Meng Ke lived, just colliding with Meng Ke and his wife, who were panicked and about to go out to find someone.
Although Meng Ke had never seen Ao Shu as a little immortal, just the golden divine seal in the center of Ao Shu's eyebrows was enough to make him realize that the great immortal in front of him must not be offended. He looked at Li Shuyu snuggled in Ao Shu's arms, his brain suddenly burst like a firecracker, his eyes closed and his heart was horizontal, he knelt down neatly with a plop, and said with great sadness: "Little sister is stubborn and doesn't know how to measure, but she is still young, and all the blame will be punished by Xiaoxian!"
Ao Shu was so frightened by his posture that she took a step back, and said with a dry smile: "No, the little guy didn't get into trouble, I just sent her home, not to be held accountable." ”
"Send her back?!" Meng Ke quickly raised his head, glared at Li Shuyu and said in a rough voice: "Don't come down quickly!
"It doesn't matter. Ao Shu put Lishuyu back on the ground and said with some embarrassment: "I just happened to be on the way." ”
As soon as Li Shuyu's four feet landed, Meng Ke pinched the back of her neck and pressed her to the ground, and said sharply: "Thank you for not being able to thank Shangxian soon!"
Li Shuyu thought to himself that you would let me take a breath first, but he didn't dare to refute it, he put his face down on the ground, and said angrily: "Thank you Shangxian for sending me home." ”
Ao Shu was afraid that she would stay for a while, and Li Shuyu was afraid that she would be broken bones, so she politely declined Meng Ke's invitation to ask her to rest, and left in a hurry. Meng Ke watched her disappear, and then picked up the gray-faced Li Shuyu, and said with a black face: "Say, why did you provoke the great immortal again." ”
"Ark!"
Lilanjing snatched Li Shuyu back from him, held it in her arms and comforted her for a while, and said a little angrily: "People say that they sent her home by the way, what are you doing so fiercely?"
"That's it!"
With Lilanjing's support, Li Shuyu's waist immediately stiffened, and he yelled back with his neck and said, "You just don't believe me!
"Aren't you in trouble as soon as you go out!" Meng Ke raised his voice, so frightened that Li Shuyu retracted his neck.
"Okay, everyone is back, what are you still scolding her for. Lilanjing glared at him, let go of Lishuyu and let her transform into a human form, and told her a few words not to quarrel, and then went to the kitchen to cook for the two.
Without the protection of Lilanjing, Li Shuyu didn't dare to quarrel with her brother-in-law anymore, so she obediently sat down on the stone bench, and let Meng Ke point to her head and criticize the education.
Meng Ke scolded for a long time, and finally felt more comfortable, picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and asked angrily: "Say, who is that immortal just now." ”
"It's the daughter of the Eastern Dragon King, the Dragon Maiden Ao Shu. I met a big dragon brother in the temple, he was familiar with Qi Feng, and when he saw that I had the Qi Feng Divine Seal on my eyebrows, he took me to his Coral Palace out of curiosity, and Ao Shu happened to be there with him. ”
"Brother Long?" Meng Ke frowned and thought for a while, and asked her, "Could it be the river god of Qingpu River?" I remember that it was called ...... Ao Feng?"
Li Shuyu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!
Seeing her nodding, Meng Ke's eyes were even more puzzled: "It's strange, the Qingpu River is not a big river and its location is remote, and the people stationed here are at most the side branches of the dragon clan, how could the princess of the Eastern Dragon King come all the way to him." ”
Li Shuyu thought of the two horns on Ao Feng's forehead that could not be taken back, and remembered that Ao Shu called him cousin, and suddenly became extremely curious: "I heard Ao Shu call him cousin, the relationship is so close, how can it be a side branch?"
"Cousin?" Meng Ke frowned, desperately searching for the few strange things about the ancient immortals in his mind, and finally held back a little bit of information after the meal was served and the glass of wine was served.
"By the way, I seem to have heard the turtle master of Qingpu River say before, I don't know where the dragon girl of the Dragon King family once ignored the face of the ancient immortal clan, regretted her marriage and ran away with a black Jiao, could it be ...... This Ao Feng is the son of the dragon girl and the black Jiao, so he is not treated by the dragon clan, obviously he is the grandson of the old dragon king, but he was sent to this remote river region to be a river god?"
Li Shuyu thinks that this analysis is very reasonable, which not only explains why Ao Feng can't close the horn, but also explains why the dragon girl's cousin is a river god in Xiaojiang Xiaohe. She had always thought that her brother-in-law was a short-sighted mountain god, but now she couldn't help but be a little impressed.
After being full of wine and food, Meng Ke went to the mountains according to the usual practice, and Lilanjing disliked Li Shuyu for disturbing her embroidery, so she simply threw a large basket of herbs to her, and asked her to squat at the door of the cave and classify the herbs by the moonlight.
Li Shuyu often did the work of picking herbs when she was in Lingyuan, and she carefully identified the herbs in the moonlight, and her thoughts drifted back to when she was still in Lingyuan. At that time, Lilanjing had not yet married, and she was holding a medicine pestle in the courtyard grinding and drying the medicinal herbs, while she and Si Xiu were squatting next to a pile of herbs, arguing who could recognize all the herbs correctly.
Now that Lilanjing is here, she is also there, but Sixiu is gone.
"Alas, creation makes people. She couldn't help but sigh.
"It's funny. ”
The cold male voice smashed her head and face like hail on the door of Li Shuyu's head, and her hands picking herbs froze together, maintaining a strange posture, not daring to move again.
"Li Shuyu, you are really 'clever', knowing that you have caused a big disaster, and you only left a letter and smeared oil on the soles of your feet and slipped to the camel mountain, why, I can't find you when I hide here?"
"I left a message in the letter saying that I want to come to Camel Mountain, not to hide...... Besides, with my broken ability, I can't help my master when I stay in the Heavenly Palace, and I can't beat a few people when I go to the demon world, so I can only wait for you to take me with me......"
"That just shows you're not too stupid!"
Qi Feng approached step by step, Li Shuyu could clearly feel the heat wave coming from behind her, the temperature on her back was getting hotter and hotter, just when she was about to lose her skin and flesh and kneel to beg for mercy, Li Lanjing, who was originally embroidering in the cave, suddenly walked out with a cloak.
"Shuyu, it's cool in the mountains at night, you put on a dress...... Hey, why is it so hot...... "Li Lanjing noticed Qi Feng behind Li Shuyu at this time, her pretty face became iron blue, and she asked sharply: "Who are you!"
Qi Feng originally planned to take a good look at the teacher, who wanted to suddenly kill a Lilan Jing halfway, and was so disturbed by her, he was embarrassed to continue to reprimand his sister in front of his sister, so he had to take a few deep breaths and press down the heat wave that turned into anger with difficulty, and put on a kind expression and said: "I am Shangxian Qifeng, come to take Lishuyu back to the Heavenly Palace." ”
"Heavenly Palace?"
After Li Lanjing learned that he was Qi Feng, she planned to bow on her knees, but after hearing the word "Heavenly Palace", she was stunned and broke her half-bent knee back, and resolutely refused: "No!"
For many beast spirits, being able to ascend to the Heavenly Palace is a good thing that they may not be able to encounter for thousands of years of cultivation, Qi Feng thought that he had heard it wrong just now, and couldn't help but ask, "What?"
"I said Shu Yu can't go back to the Heavenly Palace with you!"
Lilanjing protected the stunned Lishuyu behind her, suppressed her fear of the great immortal, raised her head and said extremely stubbornly: "Shuyu grew up in Lingyuan since she was a child, she doesn't understand the rules of the Heavenly Palace, and she can't adapt to the complexity of the Heavenly Palace, please let her go, I promise you, I will never let her expose the divine seal, nor will I let her continue to cause trouble, you just let her go!"
"Let her go?"
When Qi Feng heard this, his handsome face was unpredictable, and just when Li Shuyu thought he was going to be angry, this unpredictable change suddenly stopped, and he was frozen in an extremely subtle smile.
He looked past Lilanjing at Li Shuyu, who was ashamed and weak-hearted, and asked in words: "Li Shuyu, do you think I should let you go?"
Li Shuyu was extremely ashamed, Luo Xi Yuanjun's news leaked out from her, if she chose to continue to hide in the camel mountain as a shrinking turtle, I am afraid that when Meng Ke returns, the roots of the trees on the camel mountain will be burned so that she can't even see the silk.
"I ...... I'll go back with you......"
"Shuyu?!" Lilanjing turned her head abruptly and asked in disbelief, "What nonsense?"
"Although Yuanjun asked Pofeng to pass the letter, but I haven't received a reply yet, and I don't know if it's safe in the end, I've been taken care of by Yuanjun a lot, if something really happens to her, then it's not interesting for me to live. ”
Li Shuyu got up, raised his hand to pat off the dregs of herbs on his body, met Qi Feng's smiling gaze, and said firmly: "I'll go back with you." ”
