In the darkness, there seemed to be someone standing in front of her. The faint scent of tea lingered in her nose and gently embraced her shoulders.

The expected pain did not come, but three roars resounded in the sky.

The roaring sound was like thunder.It wasn't until the surroundings became completely quiet that Chi Jinnian opened his eyes quietly, and then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him...

She sat slumped on the ground, in front of her, Yuan Shao held her shoulders and protected her under him.It seemed that the dark purple current left by the thunder just now remained on the ground, causing Chi Jinnian's fingertips to tingle slightly.

In front of him, Huang Er who had been "burned" was gone, and a deep pit was replaced.There were still two flashes of green and purple lightning in the pit, accompanied by the sound of "Zi Zi La La"—and Huang Er's piercing howl.

Obviously it was just struck by the three lightning bolts in the sky!

The violent roar of thunder and lightning made Chi Jinnian's head groan, and Yuan Shao's hand around her was a little tight at the moment, making her breathless for a while.She tugged Yuan Shao's sleeve in front of her, motioning for her to let go of herself. "Master... Master..."

Yuan Shao who slowly opened his eyes realized that he hadn't grasped the measure in his desperation and almost hurt the little apprentice below him.

"Are you okay." Yuan Shao quickly withdrew his hand, returning to his usual spotless appearance.

Chi Jinnian knew in his heart that the lightning talisman was not released by her at all, it was more like a mysterious force blowing it out.Could this be the legendary "big heroine halo"?

"No, it's the master's luck. The disciple has the honor of the master." Chi Jinnian said realistically.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao didn't know how to answer.She didn't think too much just now, but subconsciously felt that, as a master, she should protect her apprentice—even if there were many doubts about this apprentice.

Before Huang Er could react, Chi Jinnian took the initiative to grab Yuan Shao's hand, and led her down the mountain as before.

But after walking a few steps, I saw two mice, one fat and one thin, sitting slumped on the steps, looking exhausted.Seeing the two of them approaching, the thin one quickly helped up the fat one, and then the two rats knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Hero!" The two mice kowtowed together, and then put their paws on the two purses embroidered with cat heads behind them: "We know we were wrong!"

"Hero, we have no choice! In our family, there is an eighty-year-old mother who is bedridden, and a two-year-old child who is still nursing. We..."

"Can mice live to be eighty?" Chi Jinnian asked to himself: "Normal humans should stop drinking milk at the age of two...the mice are still drinking milk at the age of two?"

Yuan Shao didn't get entangled in such details, and continued to listen to the two mice's statements.

"We... the mice in the devil world lived a little longer, but..." Turning around, tears began to roll in the eyes: "But we are also poor mice, and we, we didn't mean to steal your sesame oil!" As he said that, the fat one burst into tears: "Look, we have to carry two heavy bags, pass through the night market below, and go northwest until dawn tomorrow! It's not easy for us! Woo Woooo..."

The thin one next to him lightly hugged the back of the fearful fat man, while comforting: "Second uncle, don't cry, it's all because of nephew. Don't worry, nephew will cut off his tail and sell it. No matter what, we must first Bought the medicine for grandma!"

Rats... medicine?Are you sure it's healing and not fatal?Chi Jinnian muttered to himself.It was Yuan Shao who stood up first: "No matter how you say it, stealing is your fault."

"Yes yes yes, thousands of mistakes are the fault of both of us. The two of us were deceived by the sesame oil for a while, so we stole from the heads of the two heroes." Then, the fat mouse read to Chi Jin Kowtow to you Yuan Shao.

The thin mouse followed suit and bowed: "I implore the two heroes to save our lives. My second uncle is not in good health, but he can't stand any explosions, lightning or something!" Then he pushed the sesame oil in front of Chi Jinnian: "The sesame oil is here, not a single drop is missing, return it all to the hero, I beg the hero to spare our lives!"

It turned out that they saw the explosion and lightning just now, and came to beg for mercy!Just as Chi Jinnian was about to speak, Yuan Shao spoke first: "The thing is not ours, you should return it to the real owner."

"But..." The two mice looked at each other.Could it be that they are returning to the top of the mountain with such heavy bags on their backs?Isn't this killing a mouse!

"Do you have any opinion on my master?" Chi Jinnian's hand once again touched the pouch containing the spell—the empty pouch.

Seeing this action, the two mice were frightened and kowtowed: "The fairy is right! Let's go now! Send it back now!"

Saying that, the two mice picked up the heavy storage bag again, followed the same path step by step, and walked up the mountain.

Not far away, I saw a large number of weasels, surrounded by a pit halfway up the mountain.Seeing the two mice approaching, the weasels stared at them one after another, and their drooping tails stood up instantly.

A look of waiting to fight.

The two mice were so frightened that they swallowed their saliva together, and before the other could speak, they threw the storage pouch on their backs forward.Turned around and ran away, leaving only one sentence: "The two girls were sent back to you just now!"

Coincidentally, Huang Er, who had just climbed to the mouth of the pit, still had the sound of electric current on his body, and a mysterious object that came from nowhere hit him between the eyebrows with a bang, and threw him back into the pit again.

He was in a daze, not knowing whether he was knocked out or stunned, but he smelled the scent of sesame oil.Then, a wet touch appeared on the paws.

I took a sip, and it was indeed a good sesame oil, it should be fresh sesame, just ground in the morning—wait a minute, sesame oil?

Oil?electricity!

The weasels originally wanted to try to get their boss out of the pit again, but they saw flames jumping up from the earth pit, accompanied by ear-piercing howls... There was also a faint smell of burnt.

"Boss!"

The jet-black figure at the bottom of the pit first breathed out a few mouthfuls of black air, but when he wanted to say something, he found that he couldn't make a sound at all, so he could only clench his smoldering fists:

Chi Jinnian, I'm going to kill you!

On the other side, before Huang Er got to the top of the mountain, Chi Jinnian vaguely heard Huang Er's piercing howl again.

But she didn't look back at all, and kept walking forward.Following the prompts of the two mice, he took Yuan Shao straight to the northwest to the Demon Realm.After all, she is the young master of the demon world. People in the demon world probably know her. Fortunately, Qixi Festival is coming soon, and there are many stalls selling masks on the road. Chi Jinnian used the reason of hiding her identity to prevent Huang Er from chasing her, and gave herself and Yuan Shao Bought a mask.

Two swallows are depicted on the mask, covering the eyes of the two, and the lower part is a curtain of pearl strings hanging down. With the steps, the pearl curtain will make a sound of ding ding dong dong.

Although it was not yet the Qiqiao Festival, some boys and girls on the street put on masks in advance, and Chi Jinnian and Yuan Shao were not too abrupt.In this way, the two walked all the way to the northwest, and the surrounding architectural forms and decoration styles gradually changed.

Chi Jinnian guessed that he should have reached the devil world.

Huang Er's mountain was already dotted with stars, but it was early morning in the Demon Realm.It seems to be a barrier, wrapping up the demon world and isolating it from the world.

However, she did not go home directly, but first came to a firm called Yihuitang.

"Master, wait for me here." Chi Jinnian placed Yuan Shao on a seat in the hall, and walked to the counter alone.

"The shopkeeper!" Chi Jinnian quickly took off the bracelet on his wrist and put it on the cabinet: "Here, let's make a price!"

The jade bracelet is average in color, not transparent, and there are many white silks filled with cotton wool inside, and the color is not emerald green.Especially in the sun, the insignificant green is almost negligible.

Although Chi Jin couldn't understand jadeite, even a layman could tell that the price of this jade bracelet would not be very expensive.Previously, a colleague showed off to her that the bracelet that her husband gave her that was worth a half-suite in the third ring road in the city was completely different from this one.The jade is transparent, and the lightness of the skin can even be seen through the bracelet itself.

Colleagues said that that is the best jade.

At that time, Chi Jinnian said with emotion: "It really is so green!"

As a result, within two days, the colleague found out that her husband had another woman outside behind her back, because that woman also had a similar bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet in Chi Jinnian's hand is similar, it was given to her by Su Tingxi, the hero of this article and Yuan Shao's great apprentice.Back then, the original owner Chi Jinnian fell in love with Su Tingxi at first sight when he first saw Su Tingxi. It happened that Su Tingxi had just dealt with a group of ant monsters.Ants like to hoard things by nature, and this bracelet is one of Su Tingxi's many trophies.

Su Tingxi took away all the spoils except this bracelet.He is not interested in this kind of money, rather than precious jade and jewellery, he is more inclined to magical instruments and elixir.Besides, the bracelet was not good-looking, so it was thrown away.The original owner, Chi Jinnian, thinks that this is what Su Tingxi left for her on purpose, but it's not easy to speak out because of face.

A thing that was abandoned by others was picked up by her and treated as a treasure.Take it with you wherever you go.

The old shopkeeper wore a monocle of glasses over his left eye, Zou raised his brows and studied the bracelet carefully for a long time.How much is this thing worth?Fortunately, it is also called jade, and there are still 300 spirit stones.With a steelyard in mind, the shopkeeper took off the small telescope-like glasses.

"How much do you plan to want?" Xu Shi just observed the bracelet too hard, the shopkeeper's vision was slightly blurred, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and checked again and again: "You...you are, you are young... ..."

"Never mind who I am." Chi Jinnian hurriedly interrupted the old shopkeeper: "Just make an offer—make an offer!"

The shopkeeper immediately understood what Chi Jinnian meant.On weekdays, the young master of the pool would often buy things without giving money, and casually said: "Ask my father for it later." He patted his butt and left.But who has the guts to ask Mozun for money?

Today, Chi Jinnian didn't want to take things for nothing, so he directly robbed in disguise!

"few……"

"Ahem!" The shopkeeper was about to call out the young master, but Chi Jinnian's voice covered it up.

The shopkeeper was not far behind either. He glanced behind Chi Jinnian and immediately understood that the young master didn't want the person following her to know her identity.So I took it up and changed my words: "Look, girl, how about five hundred spirit stones?"

"Five hundred? Are you kidding me? It must be... five thousand!" Chi Jinnian directly doubled the price.

This worried the shopkeeper of the pawn shop: "This...girl, look at your bracelet, but...it's not worth the price!"

The shopkeeper complained to Chi Jinnian in a low voice: "I'll tell you the truth, you know the quality of your things yourself. If I leave others alone, I'll give three hundred spirit stones as charity. ..."

Chi Jinnian looked at the shopkeeper's sad face, and said with relief: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, it's only three hundred. I'll borrow the rest from you, and I will definitely pay it back in the future. Okay?"

The shopkeeper's old blood was holding back in his chest, and he couldn't help but tell the truth: "Young master, you haven't paid the ones you "borrowed" on weekdays, and today...here, this small shop is also a small business, you see ..."

"How much do I owe you in total?"

"This, this, this, it's an honor for the young master to come to patronize the shop, how can I say I owe you."

"It's useless to say more, the shopkeeper, please give me a total price!" A few taels of silver should not be a problem for Chi Jinnian, the young master of the demon world!

The old shopkeeper grimaced, with an aggrieved expression: "Look, I'm too old, how can I remember everything clearly... Let's start with the most recent one!"

"At the beginning of the month, you saw a gold hairpin with five hundred spirit stones. In the middle of last month, you saw a glazed flower statue with seven hundred spirit stones in the shop. A set of jewelry from Dongzhu, [-] spirit stones..." Without looking at the account book, the old shopkeeper who "can't remember clearly" blurted out a sum of old accounts, without any grievance on his face.
