It was already late at night when we returned to Yunzhong Pavilion. Sitting in front of the window, Meng Zirou looked at the courtyard in the deep night. She felt exhausted physically and mentally, but not sleepy. The strange smile of the devil and the ferocious face of the dragon mastiff always appeared in front of her eyes.
, and the child who died tragically.
Tomorrow I will return to the mortal world to look for earth spirits, but I have no clue. Where to start? Although I have become the third guardian of the demon world, besides Lu Xiao Xianyu, who else can I trust? Han
Ji, Long Mastiff, and Demon Lord all have ulterior motives and are looking at themselves eagerly. How can they gain a foothold in the demon world? And Zhuang Yan, the man he loves so much, will he really want to confront each other with swords when they meet again? -------
There were too many questions, all tangled together, which made Meng Zirou feel upset for a while. She simply got up and walked out of the room alone.
Walking through the deep corridor, Meng Zirou came to a secluded courtyard. The night was hazy, and the entire courtyard fell into a peaceful sleep. High and low shrubs, flowers and plants formed dark or shallow silhouettes, rustling with the breeze.
There was a sound. The long-lost fragrance of earth penetrated into his nostrils along with the water vapor, making Meng Zirou couldn't help but suck it greedily.
He will leave here tomorrow and return to the noisy world. Meng Zirou stretched his body and let the cool evening breeze caress his whole body. He breathed lazily from every pore, cherishing the short-term tranquility------
"Who's there?" A low voice suddenly sounded. Meng Zirou looked intently and found Lu Xiaojing sitting on a stone bench in a corner of the courtyard, her black figure blending into the thick night.
"It's me!" Meng Zirou answered softly as she walked over, as if she was afraid of destroying the tranquility of the night.
"Rou'er, why didn't you put on some clothes when you came out?" Looking at the woman walking in surprise, Lu Xiao stood up, scolded with dissatisfaction, hurriedly took off his cloak, wrapped it around his thin body, and
Pull her to sit down. Although the possessed body will not get sick, the feeling of being cold is not pleasant after all.
Feeling the warmth coming from the cloak and the unique smell of Lu Xiao's body, Meng Zirou felt a different feeling in her heart. The man in front of her was like a patron saint. He took care of himself meticulously on weekdays and in times of crisis.
You can cut your own teeth.
However, she had already been married and a mother. Although she was reborn from the ashes, she still couldn't forget the past, especially her true love for her husband, and I was afraid that she would never be able to let it go for the rest of her life. What could such a self do to Lu Xiao?
Promise of.
Unaware of Meng Zirou's thoughts, Lu Xiao looked at the happy woman with concern and said softly: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
——“I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a walk.”
——"Think about what happened tonight again?"
——"Hmm. Why did the Demon Lord suddenly think of Li Hanji as his second wife? Why didn't Madam ------ Red Dragon Fairy come today? Also, do Dragon Mastiffs always eat children? Or do they do it on purpose?"
Lu Xiao sighed helplessly and explained: "Dragon mastiffs do only eat living animals, but like today, this is the first time that they have blatantly sucked people's souls and ate their flesh and blood in public. It must have been deliberately arranged by someone.
It makes you angry."
Seeing Meng Zirou nodding thoughtfully, Lu Xiao continued: "You should have heard about Han Ji and Demon Lord's dual cultivation in private! According to the usual practice, the defeated leader and protector in the blood stone ring will be sent away.
Return to the original tribe. Hanji was transformed by the thousand-year glacier and belongs to the Wuxi Clan. She was severely injured by you today and she should have left. However, the Wuxi Clan lives in the land of glaciers and is so far away that the Demon Lord naturally does not want to let her go.
, so I simply made her my concubine to give myself more strength."
"What does it mean to add strength to the Demon Lord?" Meng Zirou frowned in confusion, "If he does this, wouldn't Fairy Red Dragon object?"
"The Red Dragon Fairy herself is like a mystery." Lu Xiao stood up and took two steps with some solemnity: "Although she is the leader of the Scale Clan, she never always shows her face to others. She was in the fairy world two thousand years ago.
She disappeared mysteriously during the war and was gone for two years. After she came back, she lived in seclusion. Except for her confidant, Auntie Nun Rong, even the Demon Lord rarely saw her, let alone practiced with her. Today I came to participate in the blood stone competition.
This is the first time in hundreds of years."
Lu Xiao paused for a moment, glanced at Meng Zirou with lingering fear, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Legend has it that she went to the human world during the two years she disappeared, and gave birth to a daughter with a human."
To be honest, Lu Xiao had always suspected that this girl was Meng Zirou and had started investigating hundreds of years ago. However, Meng Zirou died suddenly and the matter was abandoned.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder that the Demon King would look for another wife." Meng Zirou said softly. After all, no one can survive thousands of years of indifference.
"You are wrong!" Lu Xiao smiled, looked at the somewhat naive Meng Zirou, and continued to explain: "Couples in the demon world are no better than those in the human world, and do not have much emotional foundation. Most of them are together to improve their cultivation. But in the demon world, couples cultivate together to improve their cultivation.
Jun, apart from this, the most important thing is to find support. The reason why Fairy Chilong and Shengnu did not abolish her is to retain the Scale Clan. And this time, the purpose of making Hanji a concubine is largely the same.
In order to win over the Wuxi clan------"
--"you are right!"
A cold and noble voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and two black figures slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Who?" Lu Xiao was shocked and immediately stood in front of Meng Zirou. With his own cultivation level, he didn't find anyone eavesdropping on the conversation. This shows that the person who came here has a high level of cultivation and is by no means an ordinary person.
When the two people came forward, Lu Xiao opened his eyes in surprise: "Madam, Aunt Rong, how could it be you?"
Just as he was about to salute, the Red Dragon Fairy stretched out her hand to stop him: "I'm just here with Aunt Rong to have a look, so these red tapes can be avoided."
After saying that, her eyes moved to Meng Zirou who was standing behind Lu Xiao. Looking at the men's cloak wrapped around her delicate body, the Red Dragon Fairy smiled happily and said: "Zirou, I heard that they gave you a hard time at the banquet.
, are you okay?" He said, taking a step forward, trying to reach out and grab the person in front of him.
Meng Zirou was frightened, and instinctively took a step back and hid. "I'm okay, Madam Youlao is worried!"
Looking at the slightly embarrassed face of the Red Dragon Fairy, Meng Zirou felt regretful that she should not refuse her approach. For some reason, although she only had a one-time relationship with the Red Dragon Fairy, when they met again, she felt a feeling that she had never felt before.
Friendly and comfortable, I always feel that the face behind the veil is so kind and kind.
"That's good!" Looking at the familiar face in front of her, the Red Dragon Fairy's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and her voice trembled slightly. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said, "I heard that you will have to re-open tomorrow.
I have returned to the human world to look for the earth spirit, so I give this to you, hoping it can be of help."
With that said, Fairy Chilong took off a shining golden token from her waist and handed it to Meng Zirou.
"Scale Armor Token," Lu Xiao opened his eyes in disbelief. This is the symbol of the leader of the Scale Clan. Owning the Scale Armor Token is equivalent to inheriting the leader of the Scale Clan. For such a precious thing, the Red Dragon Fairy is actually relaxed
It was given to Meng Zirou. There were too many surprises today, and I was really overwhelmed.
"No, I can't take it." Although she didn't recognize what was in front of her, Meng Zirou judged from the surprised look in Lu Xiao's eyes that this object was definitely extraordinary, and she hurriedly tried to evade it.
——"This is the Scale Armor Order, which has extraordinary spiritual power. It can turn into a shield to protect you in times of crisis. Moreover, when the Scale Tribe sees this order, it is like seeing a big leader, and they can listen to your orders at any time!"
Fairy Chilong's patient explanation made Meng Zirou even more nervous: "Madam, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept such a precious treasure."
After a stalemate with each other for a while, the Red Dragon Fairy reluctantly backed down: "How about this, you take it first and treat it like I lent it to you. When you find the earth spirit and return to the magic city, you can return it to me. How about it?"
"This------" Meng Zirou looked at the Red Dragon Fairy hesitantly, and just as he was thinking about how to refuse again, Lu Xiao said: "Rou'er, this is Madam's wish, just accept it first."
"In this case, Zirou is no longer polite." After saying that, Meng Zirou reached out and took the scale armor order.
Fairy Chilong nodded with satisfaction. She took Meng Zirou's hand, walked slowly to the stone bench, sat down together, and then said again: "Zirou, can you tell me about your experience in the human world?
?”
The bursts of warmth that came from her hands made Meng Zirou let go of all her defenses. Memories that had been deeply buried were still tumbling in front of her eyes. Happy, painful, happy, regretful, all kinds of past were intertwined. After a long time, she finally
She said quietly: "At that time, my name was Lin Yuwei, and I was an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage. I met Zhuang Yan when I was about to graduate from college ------"
