Chapter VIII Tasks
"Is that the end of it?"
Seeing my weak appearance, Broken Nian smiled coldly, and his angular face showed disdain. He raised his hand again, and there was an electric current in his hand, making a "crackling" electric current sound.
I faced this pulsating current without the slightest fear. In my current state, I can still compete with him again.
"Enough!"
What brought the two of us back to reality was the cry from Feng Ling. Feng Ling stood between me and Xuan Nian without hesitation, and there was a feeling that he was at home in death.
I glanced at each other through Feng Ling, and realized that we had gone a little too far. Broken Thoughts quickly put away the current and turned away, as if nothing had happened. I also raised my eyebrows slightly, stood up stubbornly, and reinserted the sword of Qiu Huang into the scabbard on Feng Ling's waist.
Gray Ji hurriedly hugged my thigh, and her little hand wanted to pat me on the back, but she patted my ass because she couldn't reach it, and asked with a worried face, "Big brother, are you okay?"
Gray Hime's appearance and sweet voice always refreshed my heart. I was in a good mood all of a sudden, slowly squatted down and touched her hair, and replied gently, "Fool, I'm fine." "But I'm still a little wary of breaking thoughts.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at me again with the heroic expression he had before, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh! just to test your ability, you don't have to be so nervous!"
I don't have the patience I had at the beginning for another big change in my attitude. But I still chimed in: "Oh~ I'll just say, if it weren't for your mercy, I would have died a long time ago!"
Hypocrisy!
Broken Nian laughed, revealing a row of white teeth, and his eyebrows were relaxed, as if what had just happened was a joke. He slowly walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry, what you just said doesn't count, the confession has been recorded, you just have to go to work and make money." ”
Even though I was still wary of him, I was thrilled to hear such a statement. It would be a lot of money, but it would be much better than being caught in prison and working as a coolie.
Duan Nian turned around and waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go, I won't delay your time here." ”
It's just that after he turned around, he could still feel a little impatience in his tone.
From the first time I met him to the present, I really don't understand him at all. He's a bit weird.
I was about to say goodbye to the two of you and leave, but Feng Ling once again showed me the way.
"Scared the hell out of me, I thought you two were going to fight! But I'm relieved to know you're just joking. Feng Ling once again jumped in front of Duan Nian with his hands behind his back, and said: "Then since everyone knows each other, Nian Nian, you can also do a favor! Why don't you give him a task to atone for his sins?"
Well done! I didn't expect Feng Ling, a crazy woman, to have quite a trick!
It's just that the next moment, from Feng Ling's eyes, I seemed to see a hideous expression.
"What do you mean?" asked Broken Nian.
Feng Ling was intimidated by the expression of broken thoughts, but still said cautiously: "Eh, that's it, the case of the missing corpse that broke out some time ago, or let him help do it together." One more person, one more effort!"
"This task was assigned to me from above, do you mean to let them help me, and then the compensation for the destruction of the football stadium will be paid by me?"
Feng Ling showed a humble expression that I had never seen before, and said pleadingly: "No, no, no, I just hope that I can reduce their compensation a little bit and reduce the burden on them." ”
After Feng Ling finished speaking, Xuan Nian took a deep breath and lowered his head to ponder for a while. Then he turned around and faced me with a smile again: "Okay, then since Ling'er intercedes for you, then I will give you this task." If it is successfully completed, it will also improve my status in the Cangxuanmen, and I will also reduce the burden of your compensation accordingly according to the actual situation. ”
I was so excited to hear the news! I took the overwhelmed Gray Queen into my arms and held it high in the air. Ash Hime laughed silly together because of my happiness.
"But the ugly thing to say is that if it is not completed according to the agreed time, not only will I not help you with the compensation, but you will also have to pay me compensation for overtime. Are you sure you've thought about it?"
I put Ash Ji down and looked at him with a serious face, "What's the content of the mission?"
"The Zhaocun Cemetery in Xuanjian City, whether it is a corpse or ashes, is frequently stolen. Quite a bit of surveillance and security has been put in place, but the signs have not only not disappeared, but seem to have begun to spread again to the village of He, to the west of the village. The plot is very bad, but there is no clue to it. I'll give you three days to find out the truth for me, do you understand?"
I thought about it with a frown, then nodded in agreement.
Can I not agree to this kind of great deed? If I succeed, I can reduce part of the compensation, and if I fail, I will run away!
Seeing that I had promised very well, he turned and left.
He didn't say hello to anyone, nor did he say where he should go to report the situation after finding out the truth. He's playing a trick on me, a trick for me that's impossible to complete. What's more, he actually left Feng Ling here directly, he is really a scumbag.
"Feng Ling, aren't you going with him?" I asked Feng Ling, keeping my curiosity open.
A trace of sadness flashed in Feng Ling's eyes, and then he said helplessly: "I live in this hotel at your feet, alone. I miss him so busy that I haven't seen him a few times, let alone left with him. ”
I sighed, gently took Gray Hime's hand, and said earnestly, "Although I don't want to take care of other people's family affairs, I still want to give you a reminder." This is a very strange character, and I advise you to have less contact with him. ”
Feng Ling stroked her hair, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly: "What's the matter, are you worried about me?"
"What do I have to worry about you? I don't worry if my father asks you to live for me, I'll worry about you because of this? Get out of the way!" I rolled my eyes.
Feng Ling snorted at me, snorted heavily, then turned over and jumped off the hotel and left.
I looked at the place where Feng Ling left and shouted thank you, and then this farce finally came to an end.
Ash Ji tugged at my hand, and I looked down my arm, only to see her blinking eyes, her face wrinkled like a pig's head.
I laughed and said, "What's wrong with you?
Gray Ji said aggrievedly: "Big brother, did I cause a very big disaster, will the big brother hate me?"
I smiled heartily: "How can I hate you? You are my dragon maid, no matter what happens, I have to accompany you, how can I hate you?"
Ash Hime immediately smiled and hugged my thighs.
"Okay, the next thing we have to do is to go to Zhao Village to find clues. Hey, my original plans were all disrupted. I sighed.
Gray Ji pouted again: "Look! Big brother, you're blaming me!"
I quickly squatted down again to comfort her: "No, no, no!"
Hey, women are trouble!
At the same time, Feng Ling returned to the hotel alone, lying on the soft bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
The room was pink, a huge bed almost filled the room, a wooden desk by the window that couldn't be opened, and a few simple paintings hung on the walls. It looks quite warm, but it is extremely shabby and lonely. This is the cheapest room in the entire hotel, Feng Ling ran away from home alone, has no social experience, and only has the pocket money he usually saves, it is difficult to live in this strange city, so he can only save money.
Who would have thought that she was the princess of the dignified Phoenix Clan?
In this world, the princess of the dragon clan is like a maid, and the prince of the phoenix clan lives in an igloo. The princess of the Feng clan lives in this cheap house, which should be regarded as a social norm.
Just as Feng Ling was looking up at the ceiling in a daze, the door suddenly rang. I wonder who is knocking on the door at this time?
After all, Feng Ling was a woman, so she vigilantly locked the internal door chain, and then opened the door to look out. However, it was him who caught his eye!
"Nian Nian!"
Feng Ling excitedly opened the door chain and opened the door wide, inviting the arrival of the broken thought. She panicked and put away all the mess on the bed on the desk, and then sat down.
Breaking Nian was silent, came to the side of the bed with a straight face, and sat down slowly. His eyes were slightly closed, his hands folded, not knowing what he was thinking.
Feng Ling closed the door, then served him a cup of tea, took it, and took a sip.
"Nian Nian, why did you think of coming to me? You didn't go back just now?" Feng Ling also sat down beside Duan Nian and rested his head on his shoulder.
Broken Nian was as cold as water, put the tea on the table on the side, and said in a deep voice: "I came here because I have something more important to tell you." ”
Feng Ling was a little curious, what could be more important than his work?
"I hope you have little to do with the prince of the Phoenix clan. ”
"Poof. Feng Ling suddenly laughed and said, "Why did you say the same thing to that feather phoenix?"
"What!?" the thought suddenly accentuated.
Feng Ling suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then quickly changed the topic: "Oh, people and I belong to the same family, what can the two of us have?" Although the family hopes that I and him should complete the marriage contract according to the previous tradition, don't I still run away from home for you?"
"But as far as I know, he also ran away from home. Isn't this a coincidence?" There was something in the broken words, and Feng Ling didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Well, what does it have to do with me that he ran away from home? I have only one relationship with him, and he left before me, and the whole clan knows where he is. I also found movement on the roof today, so I came up to take a look, otherwise I don't think I would have had anything to do with him. Feng Ling explained while squeezing his shoulder.
Broken Nian put his hand on Feng Ling's hand on his shoulder, and his voice finally became a little gentle: "I don't care, you promise me that I will have little contact with him in the future." ”
Feng Ling looked at the perfect side face of Broken Thoughts, and his heart moved. She blushed shyly, then retracted her hand, continued to massage him, and said, "Okay, listen to you, I won't have anything to do with him in the future." ”
Hearing this, he finally smiled. He turned and pushed her down on the bed, the curtains were open, and no one knew what would happen in this small room.
