Green scales

After the banquet, the candlelight in Fengshan faded away, and all the monsters shouted and supported each other back to their mansion. There will be another round of competition tomorrow, and they need to recharge their batteries.

Situ Ling was obviously in a bad mood, so he sat on the throne in the middle of the night and drank a lot of wine, and he was so drunk at the moment.

Qing Yu's cheeks were flushed, she was not drunk, and she was looking at Situ Ling who was talking to herself with a bit of a headache at the moment.

"Yao Yao... hiccup"

Qing Yu glanced sideways at Yao Jue.Yao Jue had no choice but to hold his forehead. He had a very good capacity for alcohol, and he intentionally controlled himself tonight, so he didn't drink much. He was the most sober of the three at the moment.

The night breeze blew gently, lifting the blue hair on Qingyu's forehead, adding a touch of beauty to the slightly drunk handsome face under the moonlight.It's a pity that no one appreciates it.

"He left it to you, I'll go back first." Qing Yu raised her chin lightly and pointed at Situ Ling, who was beside her drunk.

Yao Jue nodded happily, and said softly, "You go."

Qing Yu let out a "hmm", turned her head to look at the night lamp beside the mountain road, the jug was still lying quietly on the ground, Qing Yu was a little lost in thought, then sighed almost indiscernibly, and dissipated into light and dust.

Yao Jue stood aside and looked at Situ Ling for a long time, Situ Ling murmured for a moment, then snored.

Yao Jue shook his head, reached out his hand helplessly and pulled out the jug from his arms and threw it aside, raised one arm around his neck, and half-carried and half-dragged him back to the bedroom.

Hall of Ten Thousand Monsters, Caiqing Pavilion.

The lights in the pavilion were dim, the candles were flickering, and there was silence everywhere except for the faint chirping of insects.

Qing Yu took off the heavy finery and only wore a plain white robe, leaning on the bed, his bare toes lightly touching the ground, the cold touch stimulated his brain, and he did not feel sleepy at all.

The fight during the day seemed to be still in front of him. The moment Xia Xinglan lost, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. Maybe it was because Fan Chen had shaken his heart, and he would feel sorry for a man who had never met him before. worried about the little demon in front of him.

However, Xia Xinglan didn't give him the feeling of a little demon he had just met, but made him more uneasy. When he didn't see Xia Xinglan, he would occasionally think of that figure, but it was limited to thinking about it.But if I saw it, I felt that there was nothing to say.

What's wrong with me?Qing Yu raised her head in confusion, looking at the night sky outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the hangover soup is ready." A maid held the hangover soup and offered it respectfully.Qing Yu withdrew her thoughts, glanced at the steaming soup, got up and went to the table and drank it in small sips.

The maid stood in the shadows behind him, saying nothing.

Qing Yu suddenly stopped her movements and said hesitantly: "The man in the east yard..."

Where did that little demon surnamed Xia go?How come it seems that I haven't seen him all night.

The maid raised her head, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

"That's all." Qing Yu shook her head, finished the cold soup again, and handed it to the maid, "It's nothing, let's go down."

The maid retreated in response, leaving Qing Yu alone in the huge palace again.

Suddenly, with a "crack", the candle wick exploded.

Qing Yu came back to her senses, got up and waved her sleeves, extinguished the candle, and returned to the couch.

Maybe he is gone.

At the same time, in a ruined temple under Suzaku Mountain that has been abandoned for many years.Xia Xinglan put together a few tables and wiped them casually, planning to make do for the night.The moonlight shone on his body through the dilapidated window lattice, and he had exhausted too much energy during the day, so he should be exhausted, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Xia Xinglan rested his hands behind his head, held a straw in his mouth, and frowned with thick eyebrows. From his angle, he could just see the crescent moon from the window.

He thought for a long time, but still didn't intend to give up.But once the Moon Worship Ceremony was lost, the next one would be five years later, he couldn't wait, so he had to find another way to get in touch with Qing Yu.

But...how can Qing Jun in the demon world allow an unremarkable little demon to see him at will?Besides, he is not from the demon world.

Xia Xinglan thought about it for a long time, but he could only use a stupid method first, and buy a hut near Suzaku Mountain in a few days, preferably from Orion near the mountain, so that it would be convenient for him to enter and exit the demon world.

He still has his waist card, so he should be able to enter the demon world again, and even if he can't enter for a while, he can build a good relationship with the nearby little demons first, so that he can keep track of Qing Yu's news at any time.

But this means that he has to live here for a long time.Before that, I still have to go back to Jianzong to talk to the master, so that the old man won't worry.

Xia Xinglan let out a sigh of relief, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, she simply got up and sat by the door, with one long leg outside the door, her head raised, riding the night wind, the stars reflected in her eyes.

The cold moonlight enveloped the two sleepless people.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the grass, Xia Xinglan paused, his muscles tensed, and he stared at the dark grass.

There was a constant rustling sound in the grass, Xia Xinglan slowly got up and drew out the Evergreen Sword, looking a little nervous.

Suzaku Mountain is still the territory of the monster clan, and now because of the moon worship ceremony, most of the monsters from all over the world will meet here, and he is alone now, so it is not surprising to encounter anything.

"Come out." Xia Xinglan shouted in a deep voice.

A fluffy rabbit ear suddenly stood up from the grass, shaking, and then a white shadow jumped out of the grass and jumped in front of Xia Xinglan.

Xia Xinglan was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was just an ordinary rabbit, she shook her head helplessly, withdrew her sword and turned to go back to the temple.

"Wait a minute." A thin voice sounded, very abrupt.

Xia Xinglan paused, then turned to look at the rabbit, her brows slightly raised.

The rabbit jumped forward a few times, squatted on the ground with its front legs upright, looked up at Xia Xinglan and said, "Are you Xia Xinglan?"

The rabbit looked so cute that Xia Xinglan couldn't be on guard for a while, so he just nodded.

Seeing this, the rabbit turned around and jumped into the grass, and then the grass trembled for a while, the rabbit's buttocks turned outward, and it moved a little bit, as if it still had something in its mouth.

Xia Xinglan didn't go forward, but only waited for the rabbit monster to move things over bit by bit, and then she saw clearly that it was a letter and a red thread that was slightly shining.

The rabbit demon raised his front paw and touched his ears, "The queen asked me to give this to you, and asked me to watch you read it." Biyu sat down and stared at Xia Xinglan like this.

Xia Xinglan couldn't help but hear that the letter was from Yao Jue, so she didn't hesitate too much, bent over and picked up the envelope and the red thread.

The red line disappeared without a trace as soon as it touched the palm of the hand. Xia Xinglan was slightly startled, and stretched out her hand to explore, but she didn't touch anything. It seemed that it was really gone.

Xia Xinglan was a little confused. He didn't know what Yao Jue meant by this move, but he thought it would not harm him, otherwise there was no need to take him up the mountain.

Seeing Xia Xinglan obediently reading the letter, the rabbit demon breathed a sigh of relief. God knows that it is still a little demon who can't even transform into form. Why was it entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by the queen? It really made it both excited and uneasy.

Xia Xinglan read the letter at a glance, his complexion gradually became heavy, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Yao Jue was wearing a red shirt with wide sleeves, embroidered with lotus patterns in silver thread, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttered as she walked, as if she was a fairy.

The bedroom was dimly lit and silent. Yao Jue walked to the bed and saw Situ Ling covering his eyes with one hand, lying sprawled on the bed. He shook his head helplessly. Step aside to wipe wet hair.

All the attendants in the palace withdrew, and there were only Situ Ling and Yao Jue in the huge bedroom.

The night wind blows, the red mantle hangs softly with the wind, and the candlelight trembles slightly.Yao Jue was sitting in front of the mirror, holding a cloth towel in his hand to wipe his wet hair. Situ Ling let out a long breath, put down his arm covering his face, and sat up slowly.

Ever since Xia Xinglan lost, he and Yao Jue hadn't spoken to each other.

Yao Jue paused, and saw Situ Ling sitting on the edge in the mirror, looking at him with his arms crossed.

"I have asked someone to make hangover soup, and it will be here soon." Yao Jue said.

Situ Ling didn't say a word, his eyes stared at Yao Jue as if in a trance.

Yao Jue didn't say much, and dried his hair on his own, then got up, took off his coat and hung it on the screen, walked to the edge and was about to sit down, but was suddenly grabbed by Situ Ling's wrist, with great strength Almost crushed his bones.

Yao Jue's face turned pale, unable to break free, he had to say in a deep voice, "What are you doing, let go quickly."

Situ Ling's eyes were red and bloodshot, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth, "Who are you, Xia Xinglan?"

Yao Jue frowned, Situ Ling was now like a wild beast that was almost insane, just a little stimulation would tear the prey to pieces.

Situ Ling had never been angry with Yao Jue, and the two had always been harmonious, but at this moment, Yao Jue suddenly woke up. Situ Ling was the demon king, and he had been challenging the authority of a king.

"Stranger." Yao Jue turned his head away, raised his hand and lifted the quilt to lie down.

This action seemed to anger Situ Ling, and Situ Ling pulled Yao Jue into his arms with force, his strong arms wrapped around his waist tightly, and the other hand clamped Yao Jue's jaw, Force him to look at himself.

The strong smell of alcohol hit his face, Yao Jue moved uncomfortably, but was hugged even tighter by Situ Ling. "Stranger? Stranger deserves your help?! What kind of benefits did he give you to make you contradict me again and again!"

At this time, the little demon outside the hall came just in time with sobering soup, seeing this posture, she was stunned, standing at the door, neither entering nor retreating.

Seeing someone outside the hall, Yao Jue hurriedly broke away from Situ Ling, got up and gathered his clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "Stay back and put the soup at the door."

Hearing this, the little demon hurriedly ran away shaking her legs.

Yao Jue took a few deep breaths, calmed down his turbulent mood, and said, "I promised Yinge to help Qingyu. Yinge is my good friend. Before he died, his only concern was Qingyu..."

"Since you want to help him, you shouldn't lead wolves into the house." Situ Ling interrupted irritably.

"That's because your prejudice is too deep. On the marriage spectrum, Qingyu's true marriage is Xia Xinglan. I just don't want to see them take too many detours. Even without me, they will still meet in the end." Yao Jue said hoarsely, "You shouldn't let Huo Ling go."

Situ Ling sneered and said, "Do you think I did something wrong?"

"If you really want Qingyu's good, you should help him untie his knots, instead of just blocking him."

"Do you think you know him better than me?" Situ Ling laughed angrily, "Jian Zong is a rat's nest. Have you forgotten how Yin Ge died at the hands of that Taoist priest? What did his good brother do? You also know that he colluded with Wuhe in an attempt to subvert our demon clan, and was fascinated by the power to poison the lord of the Sword Sect. In a few days, his enthronement ceremony will be held. Then guess, will he join forces with Wuhe to attack the demon clan? Clan?!"

"Since everything is under your control, there is nothing to worry about." Yao Jue said lightly.

"Are you determined to help him?"

Yao Jue looked at Situ Ling, frowned and said, "What the hell are you angry about? If Qing Yu can't get rid of the knot in her heart as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time, and a demon will be born."

"I'm the demon king!" Situ Ling stood up suddenly, his expression frantic, a trace of scarlet flashed in his eyes, and endless coercion suddenly exuded from his body, "The entire demon clan is mine! I can do whatever I want, and I can take turns whenever I want." Go to someone else to set the beak?!"

Yao Jue's expression tightened, and he looked at Situ Ling thoughtfully. Situ Ling was like a raging tiger at the moment. Seeing Yao Jue not saying a word, he was even more enraged. Before he raised his hand, Yao Jue recited the order Curse, a warm white light appeared in the palm of his hand, and when he patted Situ Ling's forehead, it immediately emitted a dazzling brilliance, directly illuminating the entire dormitory!

"Exorcism!"

Situ Ling paused, and a black smoke rose from his forehead, twisting and dissipating in the dazzling white light.

Yao Jue was still in shock. If it wasn't for Situ Ling's sudden loss of control just now, which made him feel that something was wrong, otherwise he would never have known that Situ Ling was actually parasitized by a demon seed!

When exactly did this happen? !

Yao Jue's chest kept rising and falling, staring blankly at Situ Ling for a moment.

Situ Ling opened his mouth, also a little confused, and suddenly, both of them turned their heads together.

I saw a green figure outside the sleeping hall at some point.

"I came here to tell you that the fox clan has defected." Qing Yu stood outside the hall with a complex expression, half of her body shrouded in the moonlight, and said.

"When did you come?" Yao Jue asked

"Just now."

"You..." Yao Jue opened his mouth and said with difficulty.

"I heard everything." Qing Yu was quiet for a moment, then spoke slowly.
