The sun gradually rose high. When it was in the sky, the heat in the air became heavier and heavier. The birds on the trees no longer screamed joyfully. They hid in the bird's nests under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness and slept soundly. It's very sweet. Even the cicadas, which chirp louder as the weather gets hotter, start to lose their energy.
But it didn't feel hot inside the main hall. Instead, it felt like spring. It was not affected by the weather outside in the slightest. A pot of tea had been brewed on the table, and a pair of jade hands gently held the teapot and poured out the light yellow tea inside. When you pour it out, the little splash of water is a bit more comfortable and leisurely, and it falls into the tea cup very accurately.
The tea leaves floating on the tea are dancing happily, and the aroma of the tea is overflowing, adding a little more fragrance.
"Come on, give it a try. You probably haven't tasted something like this in a thousand years. This tea is indeed very good."
Ji Qingmeng waved his hand slightly and pushed the teacup filled with tea directly in front of Xiaotian. In just a blink of an eye, the fragrant aroma immediately made people feel happy. They had just been tossed by Ji Xiyan and Ji Ningran. The wounds seemed to be slowly starting to heal.
Xiaotian sighed secretly, then held the teacup in his hand skillfully, and took a sip. The tea that passed through his throat instantly warmed his heart. He only felt a little burning feeling all over his body. There were ripples inside, and the vague pain seemed to have dissipated.
"This tea does not taste old. It seems to still have the sweetness of the past. Unfortunately, many things have changed nowadays."
Xiaotian smacked his mouth in sigh, and the smile on his lips became more and more bitter. Bits and pieces of what happened a thousand years ago appeared in his mind involuntarily. The past seemed to be still vivid in his mind. The people of the Ji clan once laughed and laughed. The joyful singing was still fresh in his memory.
However, when he recalled those beautiful laughters like silver bells, he only felt an incomparable dull pain in his heart.
"well……"
Xiaotian let out a long sigh, and the sentimental look in his eyes became more and more obvious, but he soon calmed down his thoughts.
"Oh, little Tiangou, you sound like you are in a leisurely mood! What's the matter with coming here this time? It seems that you feel uncomfortable all over again and you want someone to treat your itch?"
Ji Qingmeng poured himself a cup of tea indifferently, completely ignoring Xiaotian's changed expression, took a sip of tea, and chuckled.
Xiaotian's sentimental mood immediately dissipated without a trace, and the black lines on his face became even more obvious. Since Ji Qingmeng woke up, the memories of two lifetimes have been merged together. The poisonous tongue skills of his mouth are really unstoppable. Queen, no one can talk to her properly!
"Well, it seems like you are unwilling to tell the truth? Well, we can only let Xi Yan come back. After all, she must miss you very much after not seeing you for such a long time."
Ji Qingmeng glanced at Xiaotian, who was hesitating, but he didn't look anxious at all. Instead, the smile in his eyes became more intense. Xiaotian's face was full of bitterness, and he could only smile dryly. , and said, "Well, Goddess, we have been friends for more than a thousand years, can you..."
"cannot!"
Before Xiaotian finished speaking, Ji Qingmeng interrupted his words without hesitation and looked at him coldly, with an unmistakable determination on his face.
When Xiaotian saw such a situation, his heart suddenly sank and he secretly apologized, although Ji Qingmeng's temper in this life was no longer the same as a thousand years ago.
However, with such an attitude nowadays, there should be only two possibilities, right?
One possibility is that someone made Ji Qingmeng angry, and another possibility is that the unlucky guy who made Ji Qingmeng angry was actually him...
"Uh... Well, you are the number one member of the Ji family. Whatever you say will come to pass." Thinking of this, Xiaotian suddenly felt that it wouldn't matter if he was a little flattering at this time, right?
If someone really thought that he had offended the Lady of Heaven, not to mention the super evil high priest, the two maids Ji Xiyan and Ji Ningran would be enough to kill him a thousand times.
"Xiaotian, you should understand what will happen if I open the domain door, right?"
Ji Qingmeng didn't bother to pay attention to Xiaotian's fawning look on his face. A cold light suddenly appeared in his beautiful eyes, making Xiaotian's back feel extremely cold. He could clearly feel the pain all over Ji Qingmeng's body. Anger began to surge.
The feeling of anger was like a volcano about to erupt. It seemed that as long as he disagreed with him, Ji Qingmeng would be rude to him and let him die in an instant without a burial place.
It seems that he really can't escape...
"Yes, but..." Xiaotian reluctantly admitted this fact, but still wanted to explain something.
Ever since he had a little chat with Ji Qingmeng about opening the domain gate in the woods outside the main city of the Shao family, he had already felt that Ji Qingmeng didn't seem to remember anything related to the domain gate a thousand years ago, and he was slightly distracted. As soon as he moved, his head was twitching, wanting to make Ji Qingmeng make the same mistake again.
As long as the domain gate is opened, Ji Qingmeng will be able to obtain the mysterious power that is unbeatable. In that case, it will not be difficult for the Ji family to instantly restore its original glory.
What's more, they can wipe out all the enemies from a thousand years ago.
However, he was still wrong in his calculations. Ji Qingmeng would definitely know about the Domain Gate and what serious things would happen if he opened the Domain Gate. After all, almost everyone in Lanling Continent knew about this. thing.
Therefore, he returned to his clan, hoping to make some recovery, but unexpectedly, Ji Qingmeng still found out about the domain gate.
"But what? What are your plans? In fact, even if the domain gate is really opened, Chu Yingyi is not guaranteed to survive, is it? Do you just want to get those so-called powerful powers, so Do you want to tempt me to open the domain gate? Aren’t the events of a thousand years ago not enough to teach you a lesson? Are you happy that the Ji family has once again become the sinners of the ages? "
As soon as Ji Qingmeng heard that Xiaotian admitted his thoughts, he immediately became furious. The anger in his heart was simply uncontrollable, like a volcano about to erupt.
The questions and accusations that were like pouring beans appeared instantly, and the depression and spiritual energy fluctuations in the air were even more terrifying. It was as if once it broke out, everything would be burned away by Ji Qingmeng's current anger, and even the air would be burned. At this moment, it became condensed. The strength of the Ling Emperor should not be underestimated. The pressure was like the pressure of Mount Tai, which made Xiaotian's chest feel tight.
The power in the body was originally very different, but at this time it was flowing too slowly, so it had to directly bear a strong pressure. In an instant, the chest felt a little stagnant, and I couldn't breathe.
The hand that held the tea cup tightly was so hard that all the veins popped out, and even the joints turned white due to the gravity, but he endured it and was unwilling to let out a little moan.
He indeed deceived his goddess. This is a fact and cannot be changed. He deserves to be punished. Even if the goddess wants to kill him, he will not have any resentment.
However, those who have hurt their goddess do not deserve to be forgiven at all.
Even if time passes and thousands of years have passed, those hurts and sins will still exist.
This oppressive feeling lasted for two or three moments before Ji Qingmeng felt a little calmer. At this time, Xiaotian's face was as pale as paper and he looked very haggard and embarrassed.
Suddenly, Xiaotian clearly felt that the pressure on his body disappeared instantly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly circulated his spiritual power that was no longer oppressed. After taking deep breaths repeatedly, he released the surging energy and blood in his heart. I managed to calm down.
If Ji Qingmeng hadn't been merciful, he probably wouldn't have had any chance to survive now.
"Go on!"
Ji Qingmeng looked at Xiaotian who obviously couldn't bear it. After all, he still couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth slightly, but still maintained the indifference on his face.
Xiaotian continued to take deep breaths several times, and then his pale face turned a little rosy, and the power in his body gradually became more active. Then he slowly said, "Actually, regarding the things you guessed, I really don’t want to say anything more, but this time I came back specifically to tell you where the artifact came from!”
"You mean, the origin of the artifact?"
Ji Qingmeng suddenly frowned and stared at Xiaotian for a moment. Could this guy still want to deceive her?
Do you really think she has no brain?
"Do you remember what I said to you when we first met?"
Xiaotian didn't seem to notice Ji Qingmeng's psychological changes at this moment at all. He just kept talking to himself, and there seemed to be a little more... awe in his eyes! (To be continued)
