Green scales

Although Xia Xinglan had been thinking about the circumstances under which she would meet Yuqin on the way here, she also thought that Yuqin had long since forgotten him. Although the face and voice of the person in front of her was completely different from Yuqin's, he But still recognized it at a glance.

Who are you.

Three light words.But it was like a hammer hitting his heart.Xia Xinglan was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Yao Jue hurriedly walked up to Xia Xinglan with a smile, covered him tightly, and said to Qing Yu: "A distant relative of mine came specially when he heard that the moon worship ceremony was about to be held. I don't mind opening the back door. ?”

Qing Yu turned her head slightly, as if she wanted to see the appearance of the person behind him clearly beyond Yao Jue, but no matter whether she was looking left or right, Yao Jue intentionally blocked them. Although Qing Yu was a little confused, she thought about Yao Jue Mr. Jue would not bring unidentified people, so he nodded perfunctorily.

"It's going to be hard on you this time." Yao Jue said softly.

Qing Yu snorted, "Go to Situ Ling tomorrow to ask for a lottery and everything will be ready, I'll go first."

Yao Jue responded, and Qing Yu continued to walk forward slowly, passing Yao Jue and Xia Xinglan.

Xia Xinglan remained silent all the time, only at the moment when Qing Yu passed by, she turned her head involuntarily to look, her eyes seemed to be filled with unfinished words.

Qing Yu seemed to have a feeling, when she turned around the corner, she suddenly turned her head, and the two looked at each other again, but they had their own thoughts.

The halo of yellow light sprinkled on Qing Yu's exquisite face, for no reason, it lost a little bit of coldness, and added a touch of tenderness. Qing Yu supported Hong Zhu with one hand, looked at Xia Xinglan after thinking for a moment, and said, "What's your name?"

"Xia Xinglan"

Qing Yu didn't express much when she heard the words, she just nodded slightly, as if she was just asking casually, then turned and disappeared around the corner.

Yao Jue knew that Xia Xinglan must have all kinds of feelings in his heart now, so he didn't say much, turned around and took him to arrange a small and quiet courtyard.Xia Xinglan thanked her, and Yao Jue casually said that he would arrange more staff tomorrow, and left without waiting for Xia Xinglan's response.

In the huge courtyard, only Xia Xinglan was left standing alone at this moment. The cold moonlight fell on his shoulders, and his already tall body seemed a little thin.

Xia Xinglan stood there for a long time, until the pain in his left wrist came back again, Xia Xinglan took a breath, and went back to the room clutching his swollen wrist.

the other end.

Seeing Yao Jue approaching, the attendants outside the dormitory hurriedly wanted to salute, but they were interrupted by Yao Jue's sudden wave of his hand. After a cautious "shh", he raised his finger and pointed to the door.

Seeing this, the attendants shook their heads in unison.

Only then did Yao Jue feel relieved, stood at the door and jumped, then rubbed his hands until he warmed himself up before quietly pushing the door open.

As soon as he entered the door, the candles were brightly lit, and the red gauze hanging from the roof of the couch in the room swayed slightly with the wind, but the figure was missing on the bed.

Yao Jue's heart skipped a beat, and he slowed down his pace and walked forward slowly. As expected, Situ Ling showed his muscular upper body, his back muscles were strong, and his lines were smooth. He was sitting on the small couch by the bed and drinking by himself.

Yao Jue took a coat casually, walked behind Situ Ling and put it on him, then passed the silver mirror over.

"How is it?" Situ Ling took a sip of his wine and turned to look at Yao Jue.

Yao Jue didn't change his expression: "It's pretty good."

Situ Ling raised his brows, "This king really spoiled you, you even learned how to steal."

Yao Jue knew that Situ Ling was not angry when he saw that he still wanted to be funny, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's acquiescence, how could I use the dust-observing mirror at will?"

"Where did the arrangements go?"

"Your subordinate." Yao Jue Shi Shiran sat opposite Situ Ling, resting his chin on one hand to relax.

Situ Ling took a sip of wine into his throat and almost spit it out. Jun's face flushed, "You assigned him to me?! Aren't you afraid that I will crush him to death tomorrow? You know that I don't like him."

"You can pinch it, anyway, it's not me who will be hated by Qing Yu then."

Situ Ling choked for a moment, and had no choice but to spread his hands and start playing tricks: "No, no, you can transfer him to another place."

Yao Jue sat up straight, raised his chin slightly, and stared at Situ Ling without saying a word.

Seeing this, Situ Ling coughed lightly, "It's not impossible to put it in your hall."

Yao Jue remained silent.

Situ Ling had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay, okay, let me here."

Yao Jue still didn't speak.

Situ Ling looked terrified, "You don't mean to..."

Yao Jue nodded slowly.

Situ Ling immediately shook his head and got up, he didn't care to put on his clothes, and walked around with his delicate upper arms bare, chanting non-stop.

Seeing this, Yao Jue got up as well, and said leisurely: "It's still a bit cold at night recently. Your Majesty, remember to cover up two more layers when you sleep alone at night." After saying that, he started to leave.

Situ Ling immediately put on a bitter face, pulled Yao Jue into his arms, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, listen to you, I will listen to you."

Only then did Yao Jue raise his hand contentedly and waved out the red candle. Suddenly, the bedroom became dark, and two figures could be vaguely seen entangled and walking towards the bed.

On the second day, when the sun rose, Xia Xinglan woke up. The room was fully equipped with all the utensils, and even a few sets of clothes were prepared. Xia Xinglan picked out something that fit yesterday and changed into it.

At this moment, the sun is slightly intoxicated, the mist in the mountains is gradually rising, and there are a few birdsong in the distance. Xia Xinglan is sitting at the door, biting a piece of cloth in his mouth, holding the other end of the cloth with his right hand, and wrapping it around his left wrist. Tighten again and again.

"Hey, I woke up so early." Suddenly, a clear and sweet female voice sounded, sounding like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Xia Xinglan paused and looked at the door hesitantly.

A slim girl in pink clothes and flowered branches walked in briskly. When she got to Xia Xinglan's side, she cleared her throat pretendingly and said seriously, "My name is Lianyi, and I'm from the Demon Queen School." to serve you."

Xia Xinglan couldn't help laughing at this pretentious young girl, and shook her head: "I don't need to serve, I can take care of it by myself, thank you girl."

The girl didn't force her, she looked around for a while, then patted her skirt, moved a stool beside Xia Xinglan and sat down.

"The Demon Empress told me secretly, let me tell you about the Moon Worship Ceremony, so that you can prepare in advance."

Xia Xinglan wrapped up the bandage, nodded, "All ears."

The girl became excited when she saw this, and said, "Our monster clan Shangyue, the Moon Worship Ceremony is actually a martial arts competition in popular terms. Whoever wins can enter the Ten Thousand Monster Hall to do things. The Moon Worship Ceremony lasts for four days in total, divided into day and night. The martial arts competition in the night and the moon banquet in the night."

Xia Xinglan nodded, "How to compete?"

"There will be a lottery, and there will be a ring at that time. Whoever goes out of bounds first will lose, and the loser will be eliminated directly. After such rounds of screening, the final winner can enter the Hall of Thousand Monsters and work under His Majesty's command " The girl spoke briskly, looked at Xia Xinglan with her big eyes blinking, and continued:

"So generally speaking, the little demons under His Majesty's command are the leaders in the moon worship ceremony. The queen arranged you here, but His Majesty didn't say anything. Tsk tsk tsk..." The girl smacked her lips and snickered: "The emperor It’s such a good feeling afterwards.”

Xia Xinglan nodded amusedly, and didn't say much. Afterwards, when the girl saw someone agreeing, she went all out to explain the moon banquet, until her mouth became dry at the end, and she went into the house to look for it. water to drink.

Xia Xinglan sat in the courtyard and wiped his sword. This sword was called "Breaking Ice", and it was his first sword. Although it was not a magical weapon, it was the most convenient for him to use.

In the past, Yuqin would often wipe the sword for him. He sat in the yard chopping firewood, and Yuqin moved a small stool to sit at the door and wiped the sword quietly. The indescribable affection flowed in the eyes.

Breaking the ice can ward off all evil, but it doesn't work on Yuqin alone. Presumably, it's because Yuqin never thought of hurting him, so he couldn't arouse the hostility of breaking the ice.

It's funny that I don't believe in Yuqin, so although the two are so close now, they seem like the sky.

Xia Xinglan let out a long breath, with mixed feelings in his heart.The action of wiping is repeated unconsciously on the hand.

suddenly

"If you keep on wiping, the cloth will be worn out."

Xia Xinglan's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked like a dead tree in spring, without blinking, looking at the red figure who had been leaning against the doorway since he didn't know when.

Qing Yu was not wearing a royal robe today, instead she changed into a slim red martial robe, with some silver chains on her body, and there were clear and crisp sounds when the movements collided.

Xia Xinglan remained motionless like a rock, looking at Qing Yu almost greedily.

Qing Yu didn't turn into a snake tail today, instead she had two slender and powerful legs wrapped in white military trousers, both long and straight, with a hint of coveted abstinence.

Qing Yu frowned, "Are you dumb?"

Xia Xinglan said in a daze, "No."

Qing Yu was almost laughed out of anger, walked to Xia Xinglan's side expressionlessly, and looked down at him.

Xia Xinglan raised his head slightly, and Qing Yu stood against the light. The sunlight shone on the silver hair ornament in his hair and a very small red gem between his eyebrows, reflecting a strange brilliance.

Like a god.

Qing Yu just felt that this little demon was really stunned, and Yao Jue made an exception and arranged her here.What's even more strange is that Situ Ling hasn't said anything until now, and he presumably tacitly agreed.

"Sword." Qing Yu raised his chin, Xia Xinglan was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that Qing Yu wanted to see his sword, and hurriedly passed it with both hands, as if paying tribute to his own god.

Qing Yu took the sword, and the moment the hilt touched his palm, that familiar feeling flashed again.

Has he ever... held this sword?

Qing Yu looked up and down suspiciously, Xia Xinglan didn't interrupt, acquiescing to Qing Yu's free play.

Suddenly, Qing Yu paused, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, turned his wrist, and the shadow of the sword flew across, breaking the ice and resting on Xia Xinglan's neck in an instant!

All these movements were completed in just one breath, before Xia Xinglan could react, his neck felt cold.

"You are a demon, why do you have a Taoist sword?"

Qing Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was dangerous, as if Xia Xinglan said a wrong word, the sword would cut his neck mercilessly.

Xia Xinglan stared at Qing Yu's cheeks for a long time, and said with a smile, "I grew up in a Taoist sect, and my master is a Taoist priest."

After a while of silence.

Qing Yu slowly retracted the sword, and threw it to Xia Xinglan casually. "Since you are Yao Jue's relatives, I will trust you for now."

Breaking the ice landed on Xia Xinglan's left side, Xia Xinglan nodded with a smile, not paying attention to Qingyu's indifferent attitude, as far as he was concerned, he was very satisfied that Qingyu was willing to talk to him now.

Xia Xinglan stretched out his left hand, picked up the sword with trembling fingertips and placed it on his knee.Qing Yu's eyes darkened, "What is this?"

"what?"

Qing Yu pursed her lips, Xia Xinglan looked at her left wrist, and said with a smile, "I accidentally got hurt."

"Do you know that tomorrow is the moon worship ceremony? Do you think you can win with one hand?" Qing Yu said unceremoniously.

Xia Xinglan smiled, but was not angry, as long as he saw Qing Yu now, he seemed to be in a good mood all the time.

"I'll do my best."

Impatiently, Qing Yu stretched out her hand to hold Xia Xinglan's left hand, raised her right hand and gently placed it on Xia Xinglan's swollen wrist, Xia Xinglan only felt a burst of coolness on the wrist, dispelling the burning pain from the wound.

Qing Yu withdrew her hand, and the green light in her palm dissipated.Casually said: "How did you get hurt?"

Xia Xinglan removed the bandages layer by layer, the redness and swelling on her wrist subsided, and she couldn't see the seriousness of the injury at all.Qing Yu cured him.

Xia Xinglan raised her head, looked at Qing Yu in front of her, and said softly, "I came to see someone."
