The heavy rain washed away all the blood and extinguished the fire, leaving only ruins in the town.
The eastern sky slowly lit up, and a new day had arrived. The city lords looked at the fallen Taotie and breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at Yu Sheng with respect, no longer superficially complimenting him because of his life experience.
In today's battle, Yu Sheng successfully proved himself, although Yu Sheng never thought about proving himself to others.
The city lords bid farewell to Yu Sheng one after another and went back to Zhaixing Tower to rest. Yu Sheng was also very tired, but he still stepped onto the attic.
Cao'er and Hei Niu were standing outside the attic. When they saw Yu Sheng coming up, they said to him: "Sister Qing is fine, but she is too strong to control the sword, which makes her weak."
Yu Sheng nodded, and just as he was about to open the door and go into the attic to take a look, he saw that the black girl was hesitant to speak, as she had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng looked at her strangely, "Speak directly when you have something to say, and hesitating is not your style as a Dugu Heiniu."
With such a domineering name, how could he act so coquettishly?
Hei Niu no longer hesitated, "Sir," Hei Niu took out a piece of dragon scale from behind her back, "When I meet your mother, can you ask her to inscribe something?"
"Okay, how about I write a calligraphy for you first? My calligraphy is not bad." Yu Sheng suggested actively.
"No, no need..." The black girl waved her hands.
Yu Sheng was displeased, "Why, you look down on me? Let me tell you, from now on, all the property of King Donghuang will be mine."
"If you please me now, I can reward you as a prime minister in the future," Yu Sheng said.
Hei Niu looked at Yu Sheng strangely. With King Donghuang's ability, Yu Sheng's wish to inherit the throne was probably wishful thinking.
When he looked over, Hei Niu explained: "No, the dragon scales are limited, so we need King Donghuang's first."
"Limited?" Yu Sheng was puzzled, "You are covered in dragon scales, so there is no shortage of them."
The black girl frowned bitterly and said with lingering fear: "You will know when you grow dragon scales. It will hurt to prick one of them out, but this one was taken off by Taotie."
"Forget it, I'd better not grow dragon scales." Yu Sheng said hurriedly.
When he thought about the dense fish scale-like things on his face and body, he felt uncomfortable all over.
After Yu Sheng took over the dragon scales and agreed to meet King Donghuang so that she could write the inscription, Hei Niu took Cao'er and left with satisfaction.
"Ha, Glorious Dragon Court is here to do this. Then hang the inscription of King Donghuang on the door of our house. Let's see which dragon dares to rob my water house." Hei Niu said proudly.
"I remember you dropped three dragon scales, how do you say...well." Cao'er was half-sentence, but Hei Niu pressed her shoulders and covered her mouth.
After leaving the attic corridor, the black girl let go, "If the adults hear these words, he will have to pull out my dragon scales with his small belly."
Cao'er struggled, "Don't press my shoulders, they won't be taller by then."
She used to have a companion for the rest of her life, but now she is the only one who is short. This has made Cao'er's nerves extremely tense recently, and she won't allow anyone to push her down.
"I heard everything." Yu Sheng shouted down, causing the black girl to stumble and almost fall before pushing the door open and entering the attic.
Aunt Qing was lying with her clothes on, the quilt covering her body was kicked off, her brows were slightly furrowed, she didn't know what she was worried about.
Yu Sheng sat by the bed, fearing that she would be uncomfortable lying down, so he stretched out his hand to help her take off her coat, and muttered in a low voice: "She is still so young, she hasn't grown much."
As soon as she finished speaking, my aunt moved.
Yu Sheng thought she heard him, so he was frightened and moved to the attic door. When he looked back, he only turned over and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not a thief, why do you feel guilty?"
After regaining consciousness, Yu Sheng walked to Aunt Qing again and continued to help her undress, leaving her middle coat behind.
The last few holes were very difficult, and it took Yu Sheng a lot of trouble to solve them. "I still have to practice in the future, and strive to become a good nephew who is considerate and considerate of others as soon as possible."
After covering Aunt Qing with the quilt, Yu Sheng sat on the edge of the bed, looked at his little aunt carefully, and smoothed her wrinkled eyebrows with his hands.
As soon as she let go of her hand, Aunt Qing didn't know what sweet dream she had, her lips curled up and she smiled slightly.
Yu Sheng lay on the edge of the bed, and Aunt Qing left enough space for him to lie down. "Dream of me?" He stroked the corners of her eyebrows with his fingers.
The smile quickly disappeared, and his brows furrowed again, as if he was disgusted by Yu Sheng's narcissistic words just now.
After Yu Sheng pinched her nose, he lay next to her and looked at her aunt's face, then quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Yesterday, I rose from a shopkeeper to the position of alliance leader, woke up drunk in the middle of the night, and went from Yangzhou to the town to have a fierce gluttonous fight. I have experienced a lot in the rest of my life, and I am already tired.
He slept so deeply that when he woke up for the rest of his life, he felt that he had slept until the end of the world and that the world had abandoned him.
He raised his heavy eyes and looked at Aunt Qing's face. She was still sleeping, but she was much calmer and her face looked better.
Turning my head slightly, it was sunny outside.
It was almost dusk, the setting sun passed through the window grilles, fell on Aunt Qing's bedside, and danced on the two of them.
In my sleep, I don’t know when, but the rest of my life was also covered with a quilt.
There is some chaos outside and people are busy.
It was very quiet in the attic, and you could hear the sound of the two greedily enjoying the sunshine.
Yesterday's battle in the rain, my exhausted body is recovering in the sunshine.
For the rest of my life, I stretched out my hand to touch the dust in the light, feeling that yesterday and today were separated by a wall of fog called a dream.
Following the sunshine, Yu Sheng turned around again and faced his little aunt who was still sleeping.
What is happiness? Happiness is watching the person you love lying next to you, with your cheeks dyed red by the quiet sunshine.
Yu Sheng was a little drunk. He got up and approached Aunt Qing. He looked at Aunt Qing's long eyelashes and lowered his head to kiss her red lips gently.
Unlike the past when he just took advantage and left, Yu Sheng kissed her passionately, picking up the fragrance and softness on his lips and tapping his teeth lightly with his tongue.
Eyelashes trembling slightly, Yu Sheng saw Aunt Qing opening her eyes in the afterglow, looking at Yu Sheng blankly in confusion.
Yu Sheng did not let go, and put his hand behind her back, gently stroking her back until Aunt Qing's eyes returned to clarity and she relaxed her teeth.
Time passed slowly, the sun slowly receded, and the two of them kissed for a while.
It wasn't until the last ray of sunshine was withdrawn that Yu Sheng let go and looked into her eyes, "Yu Sheng, please give me some advice."
"Okay." Aunt Qing smiled, kicked him off the bed, and then straightened the messed up hem at the back of his clothes.
"Boom", Yu Sheng fell heavily to the floor.
He covered his head and stood up, "Hey, that's too cruel. You are not a tiger. Sooner or later, my clever head will be destroyed in your hands."
Aunt Qing picked up the pillow and threw it at him. Yu Sheng stood still, ducking away as the pillow passed by, and then came back instantly.
This move was so wonderful that it looked like the pillow had passed through his body.
"If you have the ability, don't let it fall into my hands." Aunt Qing, who only had Ye Mingzhu at hand, raised her hand and then retracted it.
If you beat this thing out, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog. It will never come back.
"No, Tianshang is jealous of talents, so who will destroy me?" Yu Sheng was still going to speak, but there was a knock on the door.
"Shopkeeper, are you awake?" Bai Gaoxing said outside.
Girl Zhao raised her eyebrows, what did "we" mean? She stared at Yu Sheng intently. How would she go out to meet people from now on?
"Wake up", I turned a blind eye to my aunt for the rest of my life.
"There is a guest who has been waiting for a long time. You and the city lord have to go and meet him." Bai Gaoxing said.
Yu Sheng was discussing feelings with Miss Zhao, "Who is so proud that he would let me and the city lord go to meet each other." He laid out the list of alliance leaders.
Bai Gaoxing knew that his own shopkeeper would open a dyeing workshop if he was given some color, and he would dare to usurp his mother's position as the leader of the alliance.
But he had a simple and useful explanation, "I'm here to give you and the city lord money."
"Quickly, serve tea to the guest, serve good tea and let him wait for a while." Yu Sheng immediately became interested.
