Green scales

Yuqin froze, and for some reason stopped her hands that were about to open the door, but stopped at the door, listening quietly to the movement outside the door.

Not long after, the kitchen door was opened, Xiao Bai was still barking, Xia Xinglan must have come out.Yuqin clenched her hands unconsciously.

"I'm."

When the strange man saw a man with a height of eight feet and a celestial character coming out with a bowl of porridge, he knew that this person must be Xia Xinglan, and he was as handsome and handsome as the rumors said.He couldn't figure out why a man who should have a bright future chose to live in seclusion at this time.

"I'm going down to Kong Qi, the guard of the governor of Linzhou." Kong Qi clasped his fists and said cheerfully.

Xia Xinglan just nodded indifferently, "Xia Xinglan."

Kong Qi didn't mind Xia Xinglan's estrangement, in his opinion, an expert should always have a temper.So he cut to the chase and said:

"Jianzong has a letter for you."

Jianzong, the name Yuqin didn't want to hear the most.

Even though they have lived in seclusion here, Jian Zong is still unwilling to let him go, and wants to snatch Xia Xinglan away from him!Yuqin's breathing became heavy, her hands pressed against the door, blue scales appeared faintly on her neck, her eyes gradually changed from black to golden.

Yuqin was emotionally agitated, and the spiritual energy in his body immediately poured out. Xia Xinglan seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head to look at the bedroom.

Xiao Bai also sensed a powerful aura, whimpered and instinctively ran behind Xia Xinglan with his tail between his legs.

Yuqin came back to her senses suddenly, and quickly took in the spiritual breath.He was in a moment of confusion just now, and he almost showed his real body.In case Xia Xinglan discovers his original identity...

"Taoist?" Kong Qi couldn't perceive the changes in his surroundings. He only saw Xia Xinglan suddenly looking at the other room without moving, so he couldn't help but reminded him.

Xia Xinglan looked in the direction of the bedroom, and then slowly turned her head after a while, and said, "I have long since left Jianzong, and I am no longer a disciple of Jianzong. I have no right to check the sect's letters."

Kong Qi was not surprised that Xia Xinglan would refuse, so he took out an envelope from his pocket and shook it between his fingers.

"It's not from the master's school, it was given to you by your junior brother, um...he seems to say his name is Liu Shu."

Xia Xinglan paused, and after only a moment of hesitation, Kong Qi knew that there was still room for this matter, and hurriedly hit the snake on the stick and said: "I don't know what was written in the letter, but he gave it to me. His face was solemn." Kong Qi carefully observed Xia Xinglan's face, and continued: "He also said that only you can help Jianzong and the governor, are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

Xia Xinglan finally turned her head, looked at the strange man standing outside the courtyard, and remained silent for a long time.After a while, just as Xia Xinglan was about to speak with his lips murmured, with a "squeak", the door of the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and slender figure flashed out.

Yuqin's face was as heavy as water, and she walked to Xia Xinglan's side step by step, and subconsciously stretched out a hand to grab the corner of Xia Xinglan's clothes, holding it tightly in her hand.

"He won't go."

Kong Qi hissed, touched the stubble on his chin with one hand, and looked at Yuqin with interest.A beautiful woman is beautiful, but those eyes revealed a sense of defense and coldness, which really gave him a chill down his spine.

Xia Xinglan patted the back of Yuqin's hand reassuringly, handed him the rice porridge in his hand, and said, "Aren't you hungry? Go ahead and eat."

Yuqin looked at Xia Xinglan, but didn't take the bowl. He knew him too well. After all, Xia Xinglan still couldn't get rid of that person completely.

Liu Shu, this person he almost gritted his teeth with hatred, he once thought about turning into a green snake and devouring this person in one bite, but his rationality told him that he couldn't do that, otherwise Xia Xinglan would hate him.

At this moment, Yuqin also knew that he could not open his mouth to beg Xia Xinglan to stay, otherwise, the word Liu Shu would become a sharp knife hanging over the heads of the two of them, causing him to be in constant panic.

Yuqin twitched the corners of her mouth, but couldn't laugh, so she could only respond in a muffled voice, holding the bowl in both hands and standing stubbornly in place, determined to watch from the sidelines.

"Is the Taoist really not going to take a look?" Kong Qi couldn't help asking when he saw the stalemate in the atmosphere, shaking the envelope between his fingers, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't attract Xia Xinglan, while Yu Qin ruthlessly Gave him a look.

Xia Xinglan hesitated for a long time, and Yuqin could see what he was hesitating for. When he left Jianzong, he promised him that he would not return to Jianzong. If Xia Xinglan opened the letter this time, he would be dragged into Jianzong. However, the situation in the demon world has been happening frequently recently, and he doesn't want Xia Xinglan to get involved in the world of mortals again, whether in public or private.

Just when Kong Qi raised his hand and felt a little sore, Xia Xinglan finally made up his mind, and glanced at Yuqin apologetically.

Yuqin fell into an ice cave in an instant, his face was pale, he took half a step back, and the porridge in the bowl poured out and burned his hands red.

On weekdays, Xia Xinglan would hold his hand in distress and blow when he saw it.

But at this time, Xia Xinglan turned around and walked towards Kong Qi step by step, leaving Yuqin standing there at a loss.

After Yuqin was stunned for a moment, Dameng turned his head to look at Xia Xinglan's back as if he had just woken up. At this time, he couldn't hear what Xia Xinglan and Kong Qi were saying, his mind was in chaos, and there was a faint blue light on his neck again , the scale pattern resurfaced again!

"Gu Wang advises you to calm down, otherwise you will be exposed before he notices." A honest male voice sounded, mixed with a hint of cynicism.

However, Xia Xinglan and the two not far away didn't realize it, and they were still looking at the letter in their hands.

Yuqin came back to his senses, and suddenly turned his head to look into the depths of the forest, where there was no one there.Since it's not outside, then it's in——

Yuqin didn't bother to say hello, she turned around and went back to the room, and slammed the door with a "bang".

Kong Qi looked curiously at the bedroom with the closed door, and said with a smile, "Your wife has a temper."

Xia Xinglan looked at the envelope with frowning eyes, his hands were trembling a little, the more he looked down, his breathing became more rapid, obviously he was extremely shocked by the things described in the letter.

Yuqin put the bowl on the table casually, and when he turned around again, he saw a tall man in a black embroidered gold-rimmed robe sitting by the table, looking at him with interest while resting his chin on one hand.

Yuqin took a few deep breaths and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

The man didn't care about Yuqin's attitude, and said lazily: "Isn't the lonely king coming at the right time? Just now you almost swallowed that mortal alive."

"Have you dealt with the family affairs?" Yuqin didn't want to talk about his own affairs with him, so he changed the subject.

"There's nothing to worry about. The lonely king will give them another 100 years, but they still won't make any trouble." The man sneered and said disdainfully.

"Situ Ling, don't be too careless, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals." Yuqin didn't take this at all, and poured cold water on him head-on.

"Does the lonely king look like such an unreliable person? Just relax, I see that your current form is much more severe than that of the entire demon world." Situ Ling waved his hand impatiently, then turned the conversation around again. Called back.

Seeing Yuqin's uneasy expression, Situ Ling continued, "Are you just looking at your good lover and running back?"

"Then what can I do?!" Yuqin said angrily.Is this person here to anger him?

"Lonely King sees the love of brothers for many years, how can you help me?"

"How are you doing?"

"The lonely king will go back to lead the army, razed Jianzong to the ground for you, and what about that willow? Willow tree? Yes, uproot the willow tree for you and throw it under the sun to expose it to the sun. How about with no way out?"

Yuqin didn't bother to pay attention, sat down opposite him, raised her hands on the table, sullen.

Situ Ling smiled, and was about to reach out to touch Yuqin's head, when Yuqin suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers formed into claws, and his nails grew several times in an instant, only a few centimeters away from Situ Ling's hand.

Unexpected events happened, so Situ Ling had no choice but to withdraw his hand, "Then, there is another way. I will secretly break the Taoist's leg, and then cast spells to make him never heal again, so he won't run away?"

But Yuqin raised her head abruptly, and said in a solemn voice, "I won't let you touch him."

"Okay, okay, don't touch, don't touch."

"Anything else?"

Situ Ling saw that Yuqin issued the order to evict the guest, so he quickly raised his hands to compromise and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, I came back to tell you that Wu He is a lunatic, and it is reported that he will make some moves in the world in the near future. And you don't want to go back to the Wan Yao Temple with me, I'm afraid he will attack you too, so be careful."

Yuqin snorted coldly, "That trash Wuhe, it's his great fortune to hurt me."

Situ Ling reluctantly echoed a few words, then took out a black jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Yuqin, and said: "Just in case, the demon king asked me to copy a few copies and distribute them to different people. The Demon King ordered me to be in your custody."

Yuqin took the jade pendant, and his tentacles were slightly cool. As soon as he touched Yuqin's hands, it quickly changed from black to emerald green.

"Also, I sent a fox demon to be your secret guard. He is the leader of the fox clan. He was supposed to be the next Zuo protector. This time, he happened to be assigned to you."

Yuqin responded perfunctorily, and Situ Ling immediately got up and walked to the window, his figure quickly shrunk, turning into an inconspicuous little sparrow, bouncing back and forth on the window sill for a while, and was about to say something more Suddenly, the door was pushed open, Xia Xinglan walked in with red eyes, heavy steps, and a tired face.

Yuqin didn't even want to close the window directly, the sparrow was almost caught, and was so frightened that it chirped a few times as if scolding, but Yuqin turned a deaf ear to it and locked it on purpose.

"Yuqin..." Xia Xinglan hugged Yuqin into his arms, holding him tightly with both hands, as if wanting to integrate him into his own flesh and blood.

Yuqin was almost out of breath from being hugged, but the tight fit between the two gave him a different sense of security.

"What's wrong."

Xia Xinglan let go of her arms, and turned to hold Yuqin's shoulders, staring at her fixedly.His eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yuqin, I have to go back, Xiaofu is dead, killed by a demon."
