Chapter Eighty-Five: To Go or To Stay
Ling Huayin has been in the netherworld for several days, I don't know what Jiuxiao has been busy with recently, I haven't seen him show up for a long time, and even Du Ye is nowhere to be seen, but Jiuxiao sent a follower, no matter where Ling Huayin goes, she is followed, which makes her feel like an extra tail behind her, very uncomfortable.
"Can you please not follow me?" Ling Huayin didn't like the feeling of being watched at all.
"I'm afraid this is very difficult to do, and I am only protecting the girl on the orders of the lord. ”
This tail is the Qin Xuan I had seen in the City of the Illusory Realm before, he was always polite, which made people feel that he was different from other demons.
"I don't need anyone's protection, besides, the Netherworld is your lord's territory, what danger will there be?" Ling Huayin felt that he was making a big fuss.
Qin Xuan said: "Girl, the Netherworld is not like you think, there are many evil ghosts here, and when the Lord is not there, they are not so obedient. ”
Ling Huayin looked at him with suspicion and said, "But I think they are no different from ordinary people." ”
"The Lord knew that the girls were afraid of those things, so he specially ordered them to become ordinary people, so that the girls would not be frightened. ”
"Who said I was afraid of those," Ling Huayin retorted.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly, "This, I have to ask Lord Venerable, I don't know anything below." ”
"I don't like people to follow me, you go and tell your lord, just say that I drove you away, I just want to be quiet by myself. Ling Huayin said.
Qin Xuan was a little embarrassed, "This ...... I'm afraid that the Lord will beat me to death, so let's do it, if the girl is not used to me staring, then I will not appear in front of the girl, and if the girl needs it, I will come out again. ”
Ling Huayin couldn't help but feel a headache, is this very different from the way it is now? But seeing that Qin Xuan had no intention of backing down, Ling Huayin couldn't embarrass him anymore. Qin Xuan really did what he said, as soon as he finished talking to Ling Huayin, he disappeared immediately, and Ling Huayin didn't know if he was really still nearby.
Ling Huayin casually walked around the Netherworld for a while, and met several familiar faces, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen them, and then heard Qin Xuan say that after Jiuxiao came back, he transferred all the residents of the Phantom City to the Netherworld, and built a city for them to live here.
Ling Huayin thought to herself that the residents of the Illusory City must have a certain connection with the Demon Clan, otherwise how could a cold-blooded man like Jiuxiao attach so much importance to them. It was only through Qin Xuan's mouth that the inhabitants of the Illusory City were all half-demons, a race born of humans and demons. Ling Huayin then remembered that Jiuxiao was also a half-demon, so she asked: "Jiuxiao has nothing to do with the human race, so how can you care about the life or death of these half-demons?"
"This is probably because the mother of the eldest brother of the Lord Heavenly Demon is a human race, and the Lord of Heaven and Demon is close to humans, so the Lord is also relatively friendly to the human race. Qin Xuan didn't show up, but the voice came, and he really said that if he didn't appear, he wouldn't appear.
"By the way, how many brothers does Jiuxiao have, Jingtianzun is his elder brother, who is Ye Yao who is him, why do you call him second brother?" Ling Huayin suddenly remembered the person who was in the same water and fire as Jiuxiao in Yuehe.
Qin Xuan replied: "The Demon Priest is also the half-brother of the Venerable Lord, but his mother is an inferior demon, so he is not treated by the Demon Lord, but the Venerable Lord has made him the position of the Demon Priest. ”
"In that case, then why does Ye Yao hate his brother so much and put him to death?" Ling Huayin couldn't see half of her gratitude to Jiuxiao in Ye Yao's eyes, but pressed forward step by step.
Qin Xuan just wanted to answer Ling Huayin, but saw a woman dressed gracefully and luxuriously walking over to this side, and took a look at Ling Huayin, Xu had never seen Ling Huayin's face, and looked at her twice, and that look made Ling Huayin very uncomfortable.
After the woman left, Ling Huayin couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?"
"She is one of the ladies of the Lord. ”
Ling Huayin was not happy when she heard this, and said in surprise: "One of them, your lord...... He's married?"
Qin Xuan replied: "The lord has a total of eight wives, all of whom were given to the lord by the ghost king, but the lord and them are only marriages in name only, and the lord has never been close to women, please rest assured that the girl is here." ”
Ling Huayin's face seemed to be burning, and at the same time, she was a little excited, "What do I have to worry about, what does it matter to me whether you lord marries or not?"
Qin Xuan let out a rare laugh, and at this moment, a magnetic voice sounded behind him: "Oh, is it really none of your business?"
Ling Huayin turned around in surprise and saw that Jiuxiao was already standing behind her at some point, only to hear him say to Qin Xuan who appeared not very happily: "When did you have so many words, if you don't say anything, you have to know how to shut up and go down." ”
Qin Xuan saluted Jiuxiao with a sneering face, and immediately retreated, for fear that the Demon King would be angry.
"When did you come back?"
Jiuxiao walked up to Ling Huayin and replied, "Just now." Why, when I'm not there, I ask people about me, and you're interested in my wives?"
Ling Huayin defended herself: "I don't care about these idle things, how can I be interested?"
Jiuxiao smiled casually, "It's really an idle matter, but listening to your tone, it seems that you don't want me to get married." ”
"What did I say to give you this illusion, you really put gold on your face. ”
"Oh, you girl's mouth is so hard, let's go. Jiuxiao seemed to be in a good mood today, and he didn't care about Ling Huayin's knife-mouthed tofu at all, so he naturally pulled Ling Huayin's wrist.
"Where are you going?"
"Take you to meet my subjects. Jiuxiao rubbed the back of Ling Huayin's hand with his fingertips, very intimate.
"What do I see them doing?"
Jiuxiao couldn't refuse to pull her away and said, "Since you want to be my woman in the future, you naturally have to let everyone know you." ”
Ling Huayin was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly stopped, her face was hot, and her voice stammered, "Who...... Who's going to be your woman?"
"Who else but you can be my wife-to-be, huh?" Jiuxiao looked at Ling Huayin, with tenderness and affection in her eyes that Ling Huayin had never seen before.
Ling Huayin's heart moved, as if she was filled with honey, but she still said: "Your wife has so many, I don't want to be one of them." ”
"I haven't seen them once in 800 years, I don't know what they look like, I'm not a lady. There is only one lady in my heart. ”
Ling Huayin glanced up at Jiuxiao and saw that Jiuxiao was also staring at her, as if she was the only one in her eyes. Ling Huayin lowered her head and no longer refused his invitation.
In the evening, Jiuxiao deliberately stayed to accompany Ling Huayin for dinner. Since Ling Huayin lost her mana, she would have the hunger of ordinary people, especially when it came to this realm that did not belong to her, and her energy was consumed extremely quickly. However, Jiuxiao didn't eat those foods, he just sat with his head propped up, staring intently at Ling Huayin's face, as if there was something on Ling Huayin's face that fascinated him.
"If you look at me again, I won't be able to eat, how can anyone keep staring at other people's meals?" Ling Huayin was really uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"Heh, are these foods really so delicious?" Jiuxiao asked with interest when he saw that Ling Huayin was eating so deliciously.
"Haven't you tasted it before? This taste is the same as that of the Illusory City, Situ Yan said that he seems to be able to eat it often before, I thought your taste was the same. ”
Jiuxiao's eyes staring at Ling Huayin became hotter and hotter, "Well, the tastes of the women I like are the same." ”
To put such intimate words seriously, Jiuxiao and Situ Yan really have a lot of similarities, and they are really people with the same soul, and even the virtue of ridiculing people is the same. Ling Huayin's face couldn't help but be hot, and she didn't dare to look directly into Jiuxiao's eyes, so she only lowered her head and drank water to hide her embarrassment.
"Full?"
"Well, where have you been these days? Why haven't I seen you?" asked Ling Huayin.
"I just came back, and I need to reorganize the Netherworld, deal with some affairs, and of course, send Du Ye to find Su Mu's whereabouts. I know you've been thinking about it. ”
Jiuxiao is rare to be so reasonable, Ling Huayin was a little surprised, and sighed: "But you are looking for him to kill him after all." Well, I don't want to talk to you about this today, when can I get out of here?"
Jiuxiao's eyebrows raised slightly, "Why are you leaving, where do you want to go?"
Ling Huayin said: "The netherworld is not a place for me to stay, I want to go back to the human world." Now Xianze Palace must be sending people everywhere to look for me, and I have to give them a reasonable explanation. ”
Jiuxiao's face immediately changed, and he snorted coldly, "Explain? What do you think is reasonable? You are now a prisoner in their eyes, and you still want to go back and be assigned to Yuehe by them? What's wrong with the Netherworld, if you think this place is not suitable for you, give me some time, and when I reorganize the Demon Realm, I will take you back to the Demon Clan. ”
Ling Huayin shook her head and said, "It's not a question of staying in the Demon Realm or the Netherworld, it's my own unwillingness. ”
"What's the problem with that, isn't the deity's mind enough for you to stay?" Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a danger signal, and he was about to explode.
Indeed, it is really easy for a proud and arrogant man like Jiuxiao to leave a woman, and Ling Huayin's resistance is simply a toast in his eyes.
But Ling Huayin is also a proud person, she has her own things to do, and she is not willing to be just a little woman around Jiuxiao and blindly be protected by him. This is still clear to Jiuxiao.
"It's okay if you don't want to stay in the Netherworld, but you have to promise me one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Ling Huayin didn't expect Jiuxiao to let go so quickly, she thought that Jiuxiao would definitely use some method to force herself to stay.
"I'm entangled in affairs, and you have no mana, and sooner or later you will be caught back by those Taoist priests in Xianze Palace. When you return to the human world, you have to let Qin Xuan follow you, so that you can be well protected. ”
Ling Huayin knew that it was not so simple to return to the human world, but seeing that Jiuxiao had made up her mind, she had to agree first, in case he changed his mind, anyway, she would not return to Xianze Palace until she found Su Mu, and she would find a way to shake off that tail in the future.
Jiuxiao seemed to see through Ling Huayin's careful thoughts, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "Don't think about getting rid of him, otherwise I will arrest you back, I don't believe you can try." ”
