Chapter 90: As long as you don't dislike it
Indeed, two days ago, the Cold Lotus Demon went to the Northern Temple after dealing with the killing of the generals defending the city, and this time it was more than half a month, and Bai Wuxian had insufficient troops in his hands, and he watched the army of the Demon Realm attack the city without doing anything. Mu Hua is very clear about their current situation, so the siege of the city is more frequent than before, and it is stronger and stronger every time, if the cold lotus demon does not come back, I believe it will not take ten days, let alone the southern city, even the southern temple is afraid that it will not be able to be saved!
Bai Wuji's original flowing hair dimmed at the speed of seeing under all kinds of distress, and the little boy who was waiting on the side looked very distressed but could not do anything.
"City Lord, the Divine Venerable knows the battle situation in the Southern City well, why did he set off for the Northern Divine Temple at this time?
With his hands folded, fiddling with the ring between his fingers, Bai Wuxian said coldly: "There is a movement in the north, according to the report from the spies, someone has seen the ancient demon dragon at the border. ”
"City Lord, my subordinates don't quite understand, that border is the place where humans and demons meet, and it is reasonable for monsters to appear, why did the Divine Venerable go over to check it out in person?"
"Dragons are no ordinary monsters. Glancing at the little boy, Bai Wuxian stood up and slowly walked down the steps, "They have existed since the birth of the Three Realms, most of the dragon clan have been merged into the divine realm, only one of the branches is rebellious and unruly by nature, and after many years of war with the divine dragon, they have been living in seclusion in the depths of the demon realm for thousands of years, and only the demon lords of the past generations are qualified to invite them out of the mountain." ”
"The Demon Dragon has such a high status?" said the little boy in surprise.
"That's right, even the Demon Venerable has to respect them for three points, but since the Demon Venerable of this generation three thousand years ago pacified the war and stepped on the throne, the only Xufeng who is still serving on the battlefield has also resigned, leaving only his only son Youze to follow the Demon Venerable to experience. ”
The little boy didn't know these things clearly, what he knew was the eight generals of the Three Realms, but six of them were suppressed in Lingshan in that battle, and the Water Demon Lord who escaped by luck was nowhere to be found, and only the half-demon plum was free until now, but there was no more scenery from the past. Judging from these few times, the half-demon plum seems to have lost the competitive spirit of more than three hundred years ago, and even the army of the demon world is not under her personal command, and she also resorted to assassination methods when she was leaving, which shows that this woman has also been much decadent after that.
"So, what does the city lord mean is that Youze's appearance at the junction of humans and demons is not accidental, but something unexpected?"
There was a trace of doubt in Bai Wuxian's eyes, and the Divine Venerable didn't say anything before leaving, but he worked so hard to investigate in person, could it be that the Demon Venerable was in the world?
No way!
Lingshan has been loyal to the Divine Realm for generations, and if there is an abnormality in the formation, it is impossible for them to know about it and not report it.
"It's useless to talk more, what we have to do now is to do our best to hold the last line of defense, and we are bound to hold on until the Divine Venerable returns!"
With a wave of his hand, Bai Wuxian immediately ordered the little boy to transfer all her guards to the southern city, she would personally defend the city, even if she fought to the last person, she would fight to the end with the army of the Demon Realm!
And it turned out that Bai Wuxian was right in their guess. At this time, the half-demon plum had returned to Hezhen, she changed into a simple burlap dress, her long hair was simply tied in a bun at the back of her head, fixed with a thorn hairpin, and the shoes under her feet were replaced by ordinary cloth shoes. Looking at herself in a simple dress in the mirror, the half-demon plum showed a pure smile like a teenage girl for the first time.
The scene of Dugu Che walking out of the inn in the moonlight on the ground came to mind that night, at that time he was dressed in cloth clothes and shoes, and even his hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and the whole person exuded a peerless and cold temperament. Accustomed to seeing his domineering and graceful appearance, when she suddenly saw this scene, the half-demon Mei only felt that her heartbeat had missed a beat.
It turns out that the cold and arrogant lord also has such a soft and casual side.
So after that meeting, the half-demon Mei fell in love with this comfortable and simple dress, every time she walked in the mortal world, she would carefully hide herself, like an ordinary folk woman, simply feeling the fireworks in the world that the demon world has never had.
The plain and warm fireworks made her proud heart no longer cold.
The envelope left by Jun Wuxian was opened, and the handwriting on the letter paper was written in detail about their experiences during this time, and the date of payment was the day they set off from Hezhen.
The half-demon plum casually put the letter in the brazier and lit it, silently calculating the time of their departure in her heart, it was almost a month since she calculated, if everything went well, I am afraid that she had already arrived near the miasma forest at this time, and maybe it would have passed the miasma forest sooner.
With Dugu Che here, the half-demon Mei never thought that the small miasma forest could play a role in blocking it, these small obstacles were not worth mentioning in her eyes, let alone the lord?
Thinking of this, the half-demon plum subconsciously touched her left index finger, and the red ring that was originally worn there had already given Li Wan a smile. The corners of his lips were slightly raised at himself in the mirror, and a shallow smile spread, but there was indescribable bitterness.
Half-demon plum, half-demon plum, thousands of years have passed, I don't dare to say those words to him, and now that a little girl has taken the lead, do you really not regret it?
Slowly going downstairs, after settling the bill downstairs, he rode the fast horse prepared by the store and galloped north.
"Brother, I said a long time ago, you look the best in this dress, like a hero walking the rivers and lakes!" The little girl waited aside with a few clothes, and after Dugu Che changed into the new clothes she bought before, she trotted over and looked up and down, left and right, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes I really want to hide you, but fortunately, I am the only woman here, otherwise I am afraid that I will really have a sister-in-law!"
Dugu Che chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'll marry a daughter-in-law when you grow up." ”
"You'd better not marry. Li Wanxiao shrugged her nose and muttered quietly, "How good it is to be my brother for the rest of my life." ”
Her self-talk was clearly heard by Dugu Che, who took the clothes in her hand, folded them neatly one by one and put them into the package, and passed by her as if she didn't hear it.
"I will be by your side for the rest of my life, as long as you don't dislike it. ”
Love is blind and humble. Dugu Che was slightly surprised when he said this, he never disdained to say love words, let alone promise any woman, but at this moment, for some reason, the promise of a lifetime was said so naturally, as if everything should be like this.
Jun Wuxian, who happened to come over, couldn't help but sigh, his own lord has been in a high position for a long time, when did he say to people, "As long as you don't dislike it"?
What is love?
"Of course I don't dislike it!" Li Wanxiao immediately turned around, looking at him with bright eyes, "You are my brother, even if you are a single person for the rest of your life, I will not dislike it!"
Burst~
The eavesdropping Jun Wuxian was almost choked to death by his own saliva, what the hell is this dead girl thinking about, people are confessing to you, what nonsense are you talking about?
"Ahem, cough, cough......" A flustered cough interrupted the conversation between the two, and Jun Wuxian immediately covered his mouth in embarrassment, "I'll come back later, you guys talk first." After saying that, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.
Seeing Jun Wuxian's back fleeing in embarrassment for the first time, Li Wanxiao was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with him, it's not in the way, right?"
Dugu Che also sighed and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”
His girl is really still a child, very simple. It seems that this matter is urgent, let's talk about it when she grows up!
Touching his nose inexplicably, Li Wanxiao reached out and patted the crumpled folds on his clothes, and then followed him and walked back on his own. In fact, she didn't know what Dugu Che meant, he had also said that he wanted her to be his wife at the inn before, but she thought it was the patient's dependence on the doctor, and later saw his vast skills, and knew that he was not worthy of others, so it was better to continue to be a brother and sister after thinking about it.
It's only natural for my brother to take care of my sister!
Dugu Che has lived for thousands of years to survive such a love catastrophe, and it is difficult for him to say whether he was sincere at that time. And Li Wanxiao is the girl he likes from the bottom of his heart, the more he gets along with her, the more he feels that this girl is silly and cute, this simple liking makes him very relieved, sometimes he is extremely bored and thinks, if there are no disputes, he is just an ordinary person, maybe he will really find a place in the mortal world to stay with her for the rest of his life.
After all, it's the ordinary days that are the most real.
Li Wanxiao was honestly waiting for Han Qingbo to help change the dressing, and the injured poisonous gas dissipated quickly, presumably he would be able to heal in a few days. They are about to set off today, escaping the scorching heat of the day, and at Jun Wuxian's suggestion, they plan to rush at night, but fortunately, the Big Dipper in the sky can allow them to find their way smoothly, as long as they keep going north, they can always reach the junction of man and demon.
Helping her change the medicine, Han Qingbo said lightly: "The rats will not come again, but it is difficult to ensure that there are still any dangers in this barren land that we don't know, I will get you a torch to hold later, and be careful." ”
Li Wanxiao nodded obediently, but she didn't expect them to hand over this matter to Mengzi. The stinky boy handed her the torch with an impatient face, and repeatedly told her, "This is the only one, there is no more"!
Pouted, carefully guarding the light in his hands. Li Wanxiao walked among the four people, using the firelight to help light the way, Mengzi and Jun Wuxian walked in front, Dugu Che and Han Qingbo followed behind, and the four of them protected Wanxiao, the only little girl.
The Gobi at night is very quiet, only the footsteps and wheezing of everyone can be heard, and the only torch in Wanxiao's hand has become the most dazzling highlight of the entire Gobi.
A pitch-black figure stood above the clouds, quietly looking at the light of the difficult trek, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"When mortals come here, they are sent to death. "The cold lotus demon's wide purple-gold sleeved robe moved slightly in the wind, and the gods at the peak looked down on all living beings, and mortals were like ants.
