"Turn back?"

Luo Shen'er's performance was always calm, and she couldn't see the slightest ripple on her face, even if she heard Mu Shuangying's name, it seemed like she was just a stranger, even if she mentioned it and said it, it had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't let a trace of waves appear in her heart.

Such a Luo Shen'er made Lu Chen's heart heavier and heavier.

"Otherwise I wouldn't be here. ”

He looked at Luo Shen'er fixedly, his eyes flashing.

"If it weren't for Shuangying, you should know that I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Wilderness to help you. Although I haven't done much in the past year, you should understand what it means. ”

"Twin Shadows asked you to come?"

Luo Shen'er picked up the jade cup with her bare hand and took a sip gently.

Her rhetorical question made Lu Chen a little unsure of how to answer.

This woman is indeed smart, and the experience of the past year has made her grow a lot, even a little inconspicuous gesture or look is enough to see a lot. Just like Gongsun Liang, it is easy to grasp people's hearts, although today's Luo Shen'er is not in such a realm, but it is almost the same, it is really not comparable to before, and it is not the original woman who only knows how to satisfy her ambitions.

"She does want you to turn back. ”

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, only playing with the jade cup in his hand, but never drank it.

"I also know that if I persuade you not to move now, I can only help you build this demon city and satisfy your desire to become the demon king of the Southern Regions. That's all, whether it succeeds or not, I came to you for only one purpose, and that is to protect you. Although you are stronger in terms of cultivation, with a broken knife, I can still help some enemies that you can't deal with. ”

"I know. ”

Luo Shen'er nodded slightly, and looked at Lu Chen again.

Then there was no other word, just watching.

The plain eyes contained inexplicable pressure, which made Lu Chen's breathing gradually become less pleasant, as if his heart was pressing on a mountain. Although his chest heaved several times, the feeling of not being there never dissipated.

Today's Roselle is really difficult to deal with.

At least Lu Chen felt that she was not her opponent.

"What's your answer?"

Subconsciously avoiding his eyes, Lu Chen raised the jade cup in his hand again and drank it all.

"If you're willing to stay, stay. ”

The corners of Luo Shen'er's lips intentionally or unintentionally hooked up a vague arc, but they quickly converged.

But Lu Chen saw it very clearly, and seemed to deliberately show him it.

I think this woman has guessed a lot, but she can't know how far she guessed. Her city, her scheming, has made too much progress compared to the beginning, so that Lu Chen doesn't know how to deal with it, and her response so decisively, and with such a smile, it makes Lu Chen feel uneasy in his heart, as if he has inexplicably entered a certain trap.

"When are you going to hold the city founding ceremony?"

Lu Chen forcibly calmed himself down and asked again.

He still remembered that Gongsun Liang was more concerned about this matter.

"After a month, all the demon clans in the southern regions came to the court, and the number of those who surrendered had to bring resources as a congratulatory gift and strive to expand the oasis here. There are also many powerful forces in the East, West and North Regions that will be invited, including the Seven Cave Heavens and the Three Ancient Families of the Human Race. How many of them will come is still uncertain, but it must not be few, after all, it is an invitation from the Prince of Tiger Hunt. And the establishment of the demon city will inevitably be known by the entire Northern Wilderness, and even let the whole world know that the Demon King of the Southern Regions has been born. ”

Luo Shen'er was always calm, there was no wave on her face, and she answered truthfully.

Lu Chen was still stunned, he thought that Luo Shen'er would not give him an answer easily, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

It was as if there was no defense.

Only Luo Shen'er's performance made Lu Chen even more vigilant, and he was really a little unsure of what this woman was thinking. After all, common sense is not to answer, especially when it is originally opposite, even if it is temporary cooperation, everything should not be explained truthfully.

The jade cup in his hand was almost crushed by Lu Chen.

"You don't have to be so nervous. ”

As if seeing through Lu Chen's mood, Luo Shen'er suddenly smiled.

The corners of his lips are slightly hooked, but those eyes are still as deep and flat as an ancient well, without any smile.

"I know your intention is to revive Luo Xian'er, not to protect me from harm. There is no need to quibble or refute this, even if Twin Shadows wants you to help me, and you agree, there will be other purposes in the end. Maybe you don't intend to kill me, but you will never let me sit in the position of the Demon King of the Southern Regions. It won't be me who hit the south wall and turn back, and it can't be me. If you still want me to give up the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Regions, I only advise you to discard this thought. ”

Hearing this, the jade cup in Lu Chen's hand immediately turned into powder with a bang.

His eyes were completely gloomy.

However, Luo Shen'er didn't seem to see it, so she sat there for a long time, holding her cheeks with her bare hands, smiling at the corners of her lips, and her eyes were indifferent.

"Do you know why I would agree to you staying. ”

Without waiting for Lu Chen to answer, Luo Shen'er had already lowered her gaze, and her other hand slowly brushed the jade cup in front of her, casual and calm.

"If you stay in the demon city, you can't do anything at all, because everything you do will be under my control, and nothing can hide from my eyes. Demon City, it's my Demon City, Demon Clan, it's my Demon Clan, although that guy has a very high identity and status, he is always just a fool. You will use him to give yourself enough fame and power, and then slowly empty my power, and finally let me fall from the position of the Southern Regions Demon King, probably Luo Xian'er will replace me as the new Southern Regions Demon King... But my ambition was crushed, and when I lost everything, I would think of Shuangying who was far away in Dongsheng, she was my only remaining friend now, even if she had broken off her righteousness, but you would tell me that she still remembered me as a sister. At that time, I would think of the good of having someone to accompany me, and I would realize the pain of being alone, and then I would give up everything I was pursuing, go to Tomori, and become an ordinary monk. Or leave here with Tiger Hunt and go to Yunzezhou to be the high-ranking crown princess, after all, it can still satisfy my broken ambitions to a certain extent. ”

After saying that, Luo Shen'er flicked his fingers and threw away the jade cup.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Chen, and the smile on the corner of her lips was even worse.

"That's what you think. ”

"You..."

Lu Chen opened his mouth, but he couldn't find a single rebuttal.

"If you insist on doing it, then do it, but don't blame me for not reminding you, that guy Tiger Hunt is very straightforward, without the slightest castle, it's easy to use, but it's hard to persuade you to rebel. It's better to think about how to make Tiger Hunter willing to help you after he notices everything, otherwise, when my ambition is crushed, all you who will be exposed will inevitably become the ghost of his hands. ”

As she spoke, Luo Shen'er had slowly gotten up and looked down at Lu Chen, her eyes shining terrifyingly.

"But you can also rest assured that day will never come, because my dynasty will be eternal and strong, the Southern Regions Demon King will be famous for eternity, and the Southern Regions Demon City will be forever famous!"

When the wind comes, the white yarn ripples.

Today's wind was a little hot and dry, and it was unbearable, and there was a huge cloud of smoke and dust outside the oasis, covering the entire sky and darkness.

Just like Lu Chen's eyes, they were dim.

Luo Shen'er has already left, and I don't know where she went, but Lu Chen still sat in the same place and never left.

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, but there was no trace of Luo Shen'er in the surroundings, so he could only hold his head and lie deep on the table, letting out a dull roar.

Everything that was in my mind was guessed.

He had already told Gongsun Liang about this, and he had been recognized by Gongsun Liang, but he never thought that Luo Shen'er would guess everything when he would meet. They all underestimated Luo Shen'er, even Gongsun Liang never expected this to happen. After all, Luo Shen'er in Lu Chen's impression should not be like this.

This year's walking, this year's rushing, and Luoshen'er's growth are not an exaggeration to call it appalling.

After all the calculations, this step is missing.

Luo Shen'er will not let him succeed, let alone trust Xia Xiaothief and Gongsun Liang, maybe even Tiger Hunt is within the scope of her vigilance, and no one can do anything. In this way, many possibilities will be restricted, and everything in the past must be overturned, otherwise if it continues like this, it will only fail after all, and it may even annoy it, and under the sharp blade, there will be no mercy.

Such a change made Lu Chen really a little frustrated.

If you haven't said it explicitly, it's fine, but Luo Shen'er said everything, the confidence under the calm, the casualness in the indifference, as if it had been predicted, everything was under control.

Man is a sword, I am a fish.

That's probably how it feels.

Annoyed, confused, Lu Chen suddenly clenched his fists, and was about to smash it down, and the rolling blood even lifted the white yarn hanging around the entire pavilion, but finally hung three inches above the table, and never really fell down.

Luo Shen'er probably won't mind, but it's just another jade case.

However, if this is really the case, Lu Chen can even think of what kind of eyes Luo Shen'er will have when he learns about this.

He didn't want to see that kind of look.

Grabbing the flask, he threw his head up and drank it clean.

With a bang, the wine jug fell, his eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his lips and clothes were also stained with wine, and he was embarrassed.

Get up and leave.

Lu Chen didn't know how he left the Demon King Palace, how to leave the Demon City, and only when he met Gongsun Liang who was leaning on the branch of the tree on the way out of the oasis and Xia Xiaothief who was smiling on his face, he finally came back to his senses.

"It seems that the blow was not light. ”

Xia Xiaothief whistled lightly, jumped down from the tree, and reached out to grab Lu Chen's shoulder.

"Don't be frustrated, that Luo Shen'er's scheming in the city government is indeed not an ordinary person, and it is normal for you to not be an opponent, but she can beat you like this, which is enough to be impressive. It's just a clever calculation, and Brother Liang has to be better, he has already foreseen everything, and even you can guess this appearance. That Luo Shen'er, after all, can't compare to Brother Liang!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

However, Gongsun Liang, who was still sitting on the branch leaning against the trunk of the tree, closed the folding fan in his hand with a snap, his face was indifferent, and the smile on the corner of his lips was even calmer and calmer, with a bit of cunning that he had learned from Xia Xiaothief.

"Brother Xia, you should say that I am 'strategizing and planning to control the affairs of the world, winning a thousand miles and winning a thousand inches of heart and the world is wide', and then I will reply with a sentence of 'passing the award', so that it is more appropriate. ”
