Chapter 4 The First Demon King City

That was ten years ago, but Ouyang didn't forget it for a moment. That night, he was sick, and he was extremely weak, but he heard the call of the crown of the demon king in his body. It told him that it needed strength, and the blood alliance contractor who could open its power was not far away.

He stood up from ** and followed the guidance of the crown of the demon king into the Yongchuan forest, but was attacked by a group of black foxes. They must have been attracted by his demon power. If it was usual, how could they be his opponents, but at that moment he was so weak that he couldn't even maintain his human form. Turning into a little fox, he was chased and hurt by the black foxes and gradually retreated to the big banyan tree. Just when he fell into despair, Xia Qiu appeared.

When she was young, she saved him from under the black fox and took him home to bandage his wound. When he regained consciousness in her arms, he found that she was the party of his blood alliance. He was also young and had only one idea in his heart. He couldn't take her into his own world. It was too dangerous, so he escaped from her house before dawn.

But from that day on, he could no longer let her go. She didn't know that the power she had attracted the evil spirits themselves, and she often went to the Yongchuan forest where they might appear, so he had to protect her. He always sat on the big banyan tree and guarded her from afar. Over time, it turned into a kind of missing, but he could not stay with her, because the desire for the blood alliance of the crown of the demon king in his body was very likely to make him lose his mind. He has never calculated how many days and nights there are in ten years. He can't tell whether he misses her just to return her kindness. He just wants to protect her all the time if he can.

"My grandfather's first generation of demon king Hu Li has been in charge of the demon world since thousands of years ago. His management ordered that the demon world has been in a prosperous era for hundreds of years, which is extremely prosperous. It was not until the appearance of the demon tiger beast Qingyun four hundred years ago that changed all this. Qingyun led his men to make waves and destroy in the demon world and challenge my grandfather. In that battle, Ouyang Zhenhai, the party of Grandpa's blood alliance, died in the battle, and he and Qingyun were also seriously injured. Soon after, my grandfather died. Before his death, he told the descendants of the demon king fox that they would use Ouyang as their surname to commemorate his blood alliance signator. My father, Ouyang Xueye, as the second generation of demon king fox, inherited the throne after his grandfather's death, became the lord of the demon world and re-entered the glorious period. His blood alliance was my mother Ran Susu. They gave birth to me 16 years ago, but just a month later, Qingyun, who had been silent for 400 years, appeared again. On New Year's Eve, he used the traitor to attack the king's city. My parents died one after another on the same night, leaving me. After that raid, the demon world was depressed. The cities and countries collapsed and could not tell whether it was an enemy or a friend, and the royal city became no longer safe. I had no choice but to hide in the world with my father's adoptive brother-haired demon fox, that is, Hongye, who was still a baby, and lived in the old house left by Ouyang Zhenhai's family.

Xia Qiu listened to Ouyang Xiao Leng talk about her background. In his tone, she could not hear any emotions, but seemed to be telling other people's stories. But such a thing made her have an indescribable heartache. How could he not have hatred for Qingyun, who killed his grandfather and parents? How could he not complain about those who betrayed him? Ouyang Xiaoling in front of him is just a teenager like himself, but he has suffered such a sad fate. Maybe it is because of this that he becomes numb.

"You also saved me, didn't you? In fact, I remember what happened by Yinyue Lake that day, but I thought it was just a nightmare.

"It is likely that the ghost servant who attacked you that day was the demon servant of the Rasha mother, who used to be a general of Qingyun. The demon of the Rasha mother eats the young girl's liver every once in a while. A girl with power like you is undoubtedly the best choice for her."

"That's why you told me not to go there after dark." Xia Qiu felt that the inextricable fragments of the truth were finally connected.

"Do you believe the red leaves and what I said?" Xiao Leng asked.

"Uh-huh!"

"Then aren't you afraid at all?"

"No!"

Ouyang Xiao Leng felt that the human girl in front of him was far stronger than he thought. No wonder that at the age of six, she dared to fight with the black fox. After listening to his words, there was no fear in her eyes, but a little sad. She didn't regard him as such a great monster, but simply felt sorry for his background. He seems to understand more why she is the most suitable human to sign a blood alliance with him. There may be a stronger soul than him in her slender body.

If he asks her to be his strength, will she agree? Although the Blood Alliance will make him strong with her, it will also change everything she has now. She may be in danger or even lose her life at any time, and the pain cannot be explained to her family and friends. This is a war that belongs to his world, but will it be too selfish to get innocent her involved? This problem that has plagued him for ten years still haunts him, and this problem has become stronger with the accumulation of his thoughts on her.

"Don't worry about the Blood League. I will discuss other ways with Hongye."

"But your adoptive father said that I am the most suitable blood alliance party for you, if..." Xia Qiu said without thinking, although she still didn't quite understand the true meaning of the blood alliance.

But it was decisively interrupted by Ouyang Xiao Leng, "Let's talk about this later."

Ouyang Hongye had long expected that it would be difficult to change Ouyang Xiao Leng's idea for a while, but telling Xia Qiu the truth was equivalent to a successful first step for him. As for the second step, he seemed to have a plan after meeting Xia Qiu himself.

Signing the blood alliance is a prerequisite for Ouyang Xiao Leng to become the lord of the demon world. Obtaining the power of the Silver Fox God can not only give him the power to compete with Qingyun, but also deter those who are eager to move to the throne and the crown of the demon king. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Ouyang Hongye had far more rights than any prince during the reign of the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye. He was willing to put down all the glory and rights in the demon world and take Ouyang Xiao Leng alone in the Ouyang ancient house to help him become the third generation of demon king fox. This is his promise to Xiao Leng's parents more important than a daughter, in order to He must be thoughtful about this promise, even if he does whatever he can.

At first glance, everything in the school is no different from usual. A few days after the start of school, the schoolwork is also on the right track, and the time at school is busy every day. After school, Xia Qiu spent most of his time with Liu Lingmei and Du He. Sometimes he went to the commercial street, and sometimes he went to their respective homes. She gradually got used to the attention of Ouyang Xiao Leng around her from time to time. After confessing her secret to her, he took her protection for granted.

But there were also negligent times. After a day of heavy rain on Saturday, the sky finally cleared up on Sunday. Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei made an appointment to go roller skating at the roller skating rink in the park first, and then go to the newly opened Western-style fast food restaurant on the commercial street for dinner. Although Du He has reminded them that some bad young people sometimes gather around the park recently, so try not to go to places where there are few people. But both on weekends and in broad daylight, they couldn't help but relax their vigilance.

The closest to the roller skating rink is a side door of the park. Although it is a slightly remote path, the road is just connected to the main road to the commercial street. Because of this, Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei chose to take that door after leaving the roller skating rink. On one side of the path is the wall of the park, and on the other side is a row of elm trees. In the afternoon, the sunlight casts from the cracks in the branches and leaves to form mottled shadows on the ground.

The sound of the locomotive engine came from both ends of the path. Before they could react, several motorcycles had already crossed their front and back, which put them in a dilemma. On the motorcycle are actually young people who are well-dressed. They are wearing tattered jeans, gloves and vests with willow nails.

Xia Qiu subconsciously took Liu Lingmei's hand and found how cold her palm was. Liu Lingmei was obviously scared. The more Xia Qiu understood that she had to calm down at this time.

"Excuse me, can you let us go over?" She asked a young man whose hair was dyed yellow closest to them.

The yellow hair didn't pay attention to her. When she carefully looked at the people in front of her, she found that something was wrong with them. Their eyes were like drug addicts, and the needle-shaped pupils were empty and confused. They didn't speak, but she could hear the sounds echoing in the air, which gnawed at her nerves like poisonous snakes.

"Is this the human being that our mother wants us to find?"

"That's her."

......

"If you grab her and dedicate it to your mother, you will definitely get a reward."

"Catch her."

......

"What about the other person?"

"Kill her!"

......

"Lingmei, can you hear what they say?"

Xia Qiu asked Liu Lingmei beside her. When she heard the word kill, she even felt fear. The strange behavior of these people in front of her reminded her of the ghost servant who attacked her Rasha's mother in the Yongchuan forest.

"I... I didn't hear anything, Xiaoqiu, they don't look normal!" Liu Lingmei's voice was trembling, and her legs and feet began to weaken.

Liu Lingmei's answer made Xia Qiu more sure that the guys who stopped them were probably not human beings. If there were only one or two, they might still have a chance to escape, but she had to admit that their current situation was quite dangerous.

Those "young people" stepped down from the motorcycle and leaned towards them almost at the same time. Some took out daggers and some pulled out baseball bats from behind. Xia Qiu hugged the petite Liu Lingmei tightly with her arms. In any case, she tried her best to protect her friend. Liu Lingmei seemed to faint, and Xia Qiu could feel her body lying softly in her arms. Suddenly, a few hands reached out and grabbed her to separate them. Her mind was blank except that she knew that she could not let go.

"The wind stops and the flames rise."

With the familiar voice ringing in their ears, the silver light flashed in front of them with a tornado-like sword spirit that involved the "youth" around them into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"They are controlled by Rashamu." Ouyang said coldly.

"Are they human beings?" Xia Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought there was no hope, he appeared in front of her at the most critical moment.

"Yes, they should be controlled by the water of the dead pool, which is the usual trick of the weak-willed people. The controlled person will regard her as her mother, become her puppet and obey any of her orders.

Ouyang Xiao Leng looked at the puppets of the Rasha mother lying on the ground with vigilance. At this time, they didn't feel any pain at all, so they soon got up one after another.

The voices of those young people echoed in Xia Qiu's ears again.

"Mother said he was the enemy."

"Kill him together."

"Kill it."

......

"They said that their mother said that you were the enemy and wanted to kill you together." Xia Qiu said to Ouyang Xiao Leng.

"Can you hear their voices?"

Ouyang Xiao Leng couldn't help but feel surprised. He had long heard that people who were controlled by the water of the dead pool would communicate through brain waves, just like opening a radio channel dedicated to them, and their channel was obviously captured by Xia Qiu's brain. But before discussing with Xia Qiu how she did this, he must first solve the group of ready-to-go enemies in front of him.

"Is there any way to call back their will?" Xia Qiu asked.

In Ouyang Xiaoleng's opinion, it seems more desirable to directly knock down or even kill this group of puppets, because although he inherited the bloodline of his mother as an exorcist and has seen some spells about exorcism, he has never really used it. If he can't successfully eliminate the dead water of the pool injected into these people's bodies, they may attack Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei at any time, or hide after escaping, but he can see from Xia Qiu's eyes that she has her pity for them, who are also human beings, even if these idle young people It is the moth of this society.

"Let me try!" He still decided to fight for her request, so he put away the sword that had been held in his hand. He quickly drew a circle in the air with his fingers and connected a pentagram in the circle, saying, "Ergo,dracomaledicteetomnislegiodiabolica,adjuramuste."

As he kept repeating the spell, the pattern he had just drawn in the air gradually became concrete, slowly rose and rotated 180 degrees horizontally above his head, and then gradually expanded. All the spells swam along the pentagram in the circle, and finally covered the ground and suppressed the puppets around them.

At first, the puppets struggled a few times, and then they all knelt to the ground. Black ** kept flowing out of their mouths and noses. When ** flowed, they all fell down.

"Are they all right?" Xia Qiu doesn't know exactly what happened.

"It's just a temporary loss of consciousness. Those black ** are the water of the dead pool. Without it, they will soon regain their consciousness. Let's get out of here!" Ouyang Xiao Leng reminded.

"Hmm." Xia Qiu nodded. Although it was difficult, she still wanted to pick up Liu Lingmei in her arms.

Ouyang Xiao Leng didn't say anything when he saw it. He just came over and picked up Liu Lingmei, and then walked in the direction of the road.

When Liu Lingmei woke up again, she found herself sitting on a bench on the side of the commercial street with Xia Qiu's shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and raised her head. Suddenly, she remembered that they had just been surrounded by a group of young people, and then she didn't know anything.

"Xiaoqiu, what about that group of people?" She asked in a trance.

"It happened that the police passed by, and the group of people ran away." Xia Qiu replied with a smile, as she had just agreed with Ouyang Xiao Leng, she could only lie to her friend.

"Oh, you carried me on your back?"

"Yes, you are quite heavy. Do you still want to eat fast food?"

"Uh-huh, I suddenly feel very hungry. I have to eat something to suppress my shock."

Ouyang Xiao Leng sent Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei to the commercial street and left. Because he had been firmly opposed to Xia Qiu becoming the party of his blood alliance, Ouyang Hongye had to agree to use the power of Dong Muya and others to find other suitable people among the descendants of the Ouyang family. On the surface, everything seemed to meet his wishes, but after the scene just now, he had to start thinking about it again.

What he has always rejected is to get her involved in the war that belongs to him, but now it seems that she has been locked as prey by Rasha's mother. Ra's mother, who is hiding in the dark, may use new means at any time to get her, but with his current rights, he can't send others to search for the whereabouts of Ra's mother on a large scale. Although he can protect Xia Qiu as much as possible, there are always times of negligence, just like today she is almost captured by those puppets.

The Blood League is a double-edged sword. In addition to connecting Xia Qiu's fate with the fate of herself and her own world, it can also give her unprecedented power. Gaining strength means that she can protect herself, and even a little strength at the critical moment is likely to make her escape. He was thinking about how his father made up his mind to sign a blood alliance with his mother, and how his mother, as an exorcist, chose to combine with his father. The answer seemed to be only one step away.

Although Ouyang Hongye ostensibly agreed to Ouyang Xiao Leng's request and did turn to Dong Muya to find the whereabouts of the descendants of the Ouyang family, in fact, he was still firmly determined to let Xia Qiu become the party of the blood alliance, and Dong Muya's investigation results made him more sure of his ideas.

On the surface, Dong Muya is a Chinese teacher at Yongchuan Middle School, but this is only her protective clothing for society. Her real identity is the manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient House. This database existed as early as the construction of Ouyang Ancient House thousands of years ago. In modern times, it has been managed by the Li family who has served the Ouyang family for generations. In the database, it contains knowledge and information about the demon world collected and sorted out by successive managers, which can be described as the encyclopedia of the demon world.

Li Xun, the last manager of the database, gave the key to the database to the girl who was not related to him on his deathbed. At that time, Dong Muya was only 16 years old. But since she met Ouyang Hongye at the age of eight, she has been attracted by everything in his world, and her talent in searching and managing data has also been shown since childhood.

Her acquaintance with Ouyang Hongye was also very interesting. The little human girl who was attacked by the evil spirit was rescued by a charming and beautiful man. Later, it was found that the man was a complete monster. In order to comfort her who was frightened, he took her to the Ouyang ancient house like a fairyland, but she was deeply fascinated by the underground database there. At first, she just wanted to know everything about him and his world, but later her idea became that if she could inherit this database, she would have a reason to accompany him. Only after more than 20 years, she has become a middle-aged woman in her thirties. Even if she looks smaller than her peers, she is still left by the years, and he is still not old.

As the manager of the database, Dong Muya is under the management of Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Yong, the elder of the demon world, and serves them. This is an unpaid job, and she is often asked to buy books and information by herself, but she has never complained about anything. Recently, she was asked by Ouyang Hongye to find the whereabouts of the descendants of the Ouyang family, but with the deepening of the search, more and more terrible facts were in front of her. She told Ouyang Hongye what she thought at the first time. After hearing this, he was shocked and had some other imperceptible emotions.

Dong Muya's investigation results made Ouyang Hongye feel that it was necessary to summon Wangyue to come to Ouyang's ancient house to discuss countermeasures. However, in addition to Ouyang Xiao Leng, he hoped that Xia Qiu could also be present. Unexpectedly, this time, Ouyang Xiao Leng did not immediately refute, but offered to take Xia Qiu to the demon world first and then let her It's up to you.

During the lunch break on Monday, Xia Qiu turned around and saw Ouyang Xiao Leng painting on the notebook. He painted a kind of flower she had never seen before. The red and curly petals and the stamens stretching around and the sky had a breathtaking beauty.

"What kind of flower is this?" Xia Qiu couldn't help asking.

"Manzhu Shahua, also known as the other side flower." Ouyang Xiao Leng raised his head, and his eyes narrowed into two lines because of the sunlight at noon, but it looked more gentle than before.

"It's so beautiful!" Xia Qiu was attracted by the beautiful flowers on the paper.

"Would you like to see the real Manzhu Shahua?" Ouyang asked coldly.

"Think!" Xia Qiu answered without thinking. The day before, Ouyang Xiao Leng saved her again, and she also trusted him more. Maybe there was a warm heart than anyone else hidden under his ice-like appearance.

At this time, Liu Lingmei and Du He gathered around with a bento box and praised Manzhu Shahua written by Ouyang Xiao Leng. However, Ouyang Xiao Leng was obviously not used to communicating with others other than Xia Qiu, so he got up and walked out of the classroom.

"This man is really strange." Liu Lingmei looked at his back and shook her head.

"Bear by the way, I don't seem to have seen him have lunch before. Have you seen him?" Du He asked.

"No, not yet!" Liu Lingmei felt even more strange when she was said by Du He.

"But that guy plays basketball really well. I want to ask him to play again." Dong Haofan didn't know when he came over.

"I guess you have no chance. It's still possible for Xia Qiu to ask him." Liu Lingmei glanced at Dong Haofan with disdain.

"Why did you get involved with me?" Xia Qiu finally interrupted, but she was still excited about Ouyang Xiao Leng's promise to take her to see Manzhu Shahua.

After school, Ouyang Xiao Lengru agreed to take her to the location of Manzhu Shahua. They walked to the path leading to Ouyang Ancient House. The road, which was also getting narrower and narrower, appeared a fork in the road when it was approaching the end of the road.

"I didn't seem to notice that I could still turn here that day." Xia Qiu felt that the space around her became different from before when she walked along the fork in the road.

"This road is the 'mystery path' created by my grandfather. Its function is the same as the boundary, and ordinary people will not find it. It will only show the correct route and form in front of people who are completely familiar with it. If the red leaf does not deliberately lead you through it on that day, it is just a wall or a tree in front of you, or a completely different road to other places. This 'path' also leads to another place in addition to Ouyang ancient house. "

"Another place?"

"Yes, the king city of the demon world."

If Xia Qiu hadn't been so interested in Manzhu Shahua, Ouyang Xiao Leng might not have made such a decision. But he felt that this was a good opportunity to take her to see the world that belongs to him with her own eyes, and then she would decide whether to become his blood covenant.

Xia Qiu followed Ouyang Xiao Leng to the entrance of the demon world. The fog permeated from the other end. The further she walked, the heavier it became, the more blurred her vision became. After walking for a while, the fog gradually dissipated around. She found that she had been led to a wide corridor, which was built of black marble and supported by tall columns one by one.

"This is called the mysterious corridor of the two lives, which is the only way to connect the world and the demon world."

Ouyang Xiao Leng said and guided Xia Qiu to look out of the corridor. The endless sea of red manzhu sand flowers outside the two mysterious corridors is like a beating flame in full bloom unscrupulously, and the gorgeous purple sky is connected to it.

"Ah, this is..." Xia Qiu was shocked by the wonders in front of him for a moment.

"Well, they also have a name called the other side flower, which is the only flower that can grow in the divine world, the human world and the demon world at the same time."

As the silver bell-like laughter came from a distance, two girls in red who looked like dolls came hand in hand, and their feet were not walking but crossed by the sea of flowers. They have long dark hair and bangs like eternal night. They are exquisite and petite, except for the different color of their pupils. The girl with white pupils doesn't seem to be able to see. She is always asking the girl with black pupils around her.

"Manzhu, who's here?"

"Shahua, that's Lord Ouyang Xiao Leng, the demon king fox."

"Who is next to him?"

"It's a human."

"No wonder there is a strange smell that stirs up our aroma. I don't like human beings."

"Shh!"

They whispered a few more words, and then the silver bell-like laughter sounded again.

"Are they?" Xia Qiu asked Ouyang Xiao Leng.

"They are the flower demon sisters of Manzhu Shahua. One's eyes will be completely blind during the day, and the other will be completely blind at night, so they can't be separated from birth. Don't pay attention to them. Let's go!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said disdainfully and planned to take Xia Qiu away.

"The demon king fox is the one who likes these stinky and ugly human beings."

"Yes, he didn't even look at us so beautiful."

"Slow down and let us dance for you."

"Let's dance a flower soul dance."

The two girls began to dance as they spoke, and their clothes instantly turned into soft water sleeves. They danced like butterflies in the air and flipped like swallows. The dazzling and graceful dance made Xia Qiu a little dizzy.

"Summer and autumn! Xia Qiu!"

"What's wrong with me?"

When he came to his senses, he found that Ouyang Xiao Leng was calling her name. His hands patted her on the cheeks a few times to make her face hot.

"You are temporarily fascinated by their sorcery, and these flower demons like to play tricks on people." Ouyang Xiao Leng said and turned to the Manzhu Shahua sisters, "Be careful that I will break up your flower souls!"

"We don't dare anymore. Please forgive us!" The two flower demon sisters were obviously scared by Ouyang Xiao Leng's words, and even their voices trembled.

"Didn't you also say that they were joking, and they danced so beautifully that they fooled me." Xia Qiu pulled Ouyang Xiao Leng's sleeve, "Let's go!"

Ouyang Xiao Leng had to leave with Xia Qiu when she saw this. He didn't know how to explain to her the hierarchical hierarchy of the demon world, which is different from the equality of life in human beings. As a flower demon with a low status like the mermaid clan and ghost servants, it is great disrespectful to him, the third generation of demon king fox, so boldly tease Xia Qiu.

"First of all, the throne of the demon world is hereditary, and most of the titles are the same. Next, you can also get the corresponding status and power through your own power, but if you don't inherit the powerful power from your parents, it may take a hundred or even a thousand years to cultivate by yourself. The mermaid clan is difficult to cultivate strength because its life expectancy is similar to that of human beings; ghost servants forever sell all their freedom and power for some reason; while flower demons are different from them, because they can't leave the rhizome to survive, although they can become human beings, they can't fight any substantive battles. As low-level monsters, they can easily take their lives or even disappear.

He tried his best to explain to Xia Qiu, but made her fall into meditation. Isn't it the same in the world? Although there are contradictions everywhere when it is preaching equality on the surface, it is more hypocritical than the honest human beings of demons.

After walking out of the two-life mysterious corridor, they were greeted by a huge square, and the ground made of green bricks seemed to extend infinitely. When the sight becomes wide, summer and autumn realize the beauty of the sky here, and the stars shine brightly on the dark purple sky like a curtain.

"The sky here..." Xia Qiu doesn't know how many times she will be shocked by the scenery of the demon world today.

"Purple sky is one of the symbols of the world, and it will be lavender during the day." Ouyang whispered in a cold voice, "Call, night elf, beast of the wind, unicorn."

The rapid sound of horses' hoofs caused a hurricane, and a tall cyan horse broke through the dust in the wind and stopped in front of Ouyang Xiao Leng and Xia Qiu. Ouyang Xiao Leng turned over and stretched out a hand to Xia Qiu. As soon as Xia Qiu grasped it, she was pulled up and sat in front of him. Suddenly, she was surrounded by his arms to make her heart hit like a deer, and a touch of morning glow flew to her face.

Behind the towering archway in the distance is a road up the mountain. There are no cards on the archway except for carvings.

"This road is called Bangshan Road, which can lead directly to the observation platform at the top of Wangcheng. It's like the commercial street, shops, hotels and restaurants in Wangcheng are all on this road, and other roads in Wangcheng are also connected to it.

Ouyang Xiao Leng took Xia Qiu all the way up the mountain road and deliberately slowed down to introduce to her the houses with strange words and symbols on both sides.

"Isn't this a commercial street? Why is there no one?" Xia Qiu was curious why there were no half of the pedestrians on the street, and the doors and windows of the house were closed.

"It's not the most prosperous time in the demon world. Many stores are closed because they are too depressed. Even if they are still open, they close early every day."

Ouyang Xiaomeng's voice was a little lonely. If his father was still here, it would not be the current situation. It was also because his father was gone that he could not walk freely in the royal city until a few years ago. Because of inheriting the power of the demon king fox and the strict training of Ouyang Hongye, he was so strong that ordinary demons could not easily hurt him after just 16 years. Otherwise, how could he swagger and walk in the city that should belong to him? This thought is even more desolate. After a while, Kirin took them to the observation platform, and then Ouyang Xiao Leng ordered it to hide.

"Why do you call them Night Elves and Wind Beasts?" Only then did Xia Qiu think of asking Ouyang Xiao Leng.

"The unicorn is a demon horse, and the demon horse from the dark night forest is the most important means of transportation in the demon world. As for why they are called the Beast of the Wind, although they look no different from the horses on earth, they have amazing speed and endurance, coming and going like the wind. They have both wisdom and loyalty. They choose the master according to their own will and make a contract that will only be loyal to the master at the same time until the master dies.

There is a bronze clock standing on the observation platform, from which you can have a panoramic view of the royal city. Xia Qiu took a few deep breaths of air that was much fresher than the world on the railing, and suddenly felt that the whole body became much more relaxed.

"That's the Chenji Palace, where I was born, and also the power center of the demon world. My grandfather and father used to lead the whole demon world there, and one day I will restore everything to the past!" Ouyang Xiao Leng pointed to the seven golden roofs on the mountainside in the distance.

The largest of the seven golden roofs is surrounded by the other six irregulars. Although Xia Qiu can't see the scene in the Chenji Palace, she can also imagine a little about the magnificent there. She began to outline the king who once reigned the world there in her mind... Suddenly she was interrupted by Ouyang Xiao Leng.

"It's time, look!"

She looked around, and the street lights under the platform lit up one after another, covering the whole city in crystal clear and soft white lights.

"Look carefully what kind of pattern it is?" Ouyang asked coldly.

Xia Qiu carefully looked at the street lights on the whole mountain to form a lotus pattern. The snow lotus blooming on the hillside seemed to be welcoming the purple night sky and diamond-like stars with petals, and the golden roof of Chenji Palace was like its stamens. Everything looks so small in front of this magical design. Looking at it, in addition to making her heart full of reverence, even her eyes are full of tears. She didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment to Ouyang Xiao Leng. In her eyes, it is not like the demon world but like heaven.

"Ah... It's so beautiful... I like it..." She shouted loudly to the foot of the mountain to make her voice echo in the world.

Ouyang Xiao Leng was stunned for her unexpected behavior, and then unconsciously smiled. Although the smile was very shallow, it came from the bottom of his heart with warmth.

"I've heard the legend that human beings don't want to leave when they come here, and now I finally understand why." Xia Qiu turned around and bumped into the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his heart was touched again. It was his usual expression as if the iceberg had melted a corner.

"There are only a few human beings who have come here in the past thousand years. One is Ouyang Zhenhai, who has signed a blood alliance with my grandfather, the other is Ouyang Yong, the largest elder in the demon world, the other is Princess Dan, the wife of my father's friend Amber Dragon King, and the other two are my mother Ran Susu and you. They really haven't leave. Here."

"It seems that those legends are not all groundless. In fact, I have believed that many of them are real since I was a child. That's why I always like to go to Yongchuan Forest. I want to find the legendary road to the demon world."

"Do you dare to give yourself to me?" Ouyang Xiao Leng suddenly rose from the ground and stood on the railing with his toes, and then tilted his face to Xia Qiu, who was standing behind the railing.

This sentence disturbed Xia Qiu's heartbeat several times. She thought about the meaning of his words. What does it mean to dare to give herself to him? Such bold words really don't look like Ouyang Xiao Leng can say.

"I mean, do you believe me?" Ouyang Xiao Leng realized that his expression was not so inappropriate, and embarrassedly turned his face to explain.

"Uh-huh!" Xia Qiu nodded with a sigh of relief.

"Then give me your hand, then close your eyes, and wait until I tell you to open it."

Xia Qiu handed him his hand as Ouyang Xiao Leng said and then closed her eyes. She only felt that as soon as her hand was clenched by him, there was a force to pull her up.

"Open your eyes!"

She slowly opened her eyes and found that she was soaring in the air of the royal city at the beginning of the lantern. Although she was also taken to the sky by Ouyang Hongye when she was in Ouyang Ancient House, it could not be compared with the feelings at this time. Her hand was held tightly by Ouyang Xiao Leng, and there was no trace of fear in her heart as if she could go anywhere with him.

Ouyang Xiao Leng and Xia Qiu circled in the sky for a while, and finally landed outside the two-life mysterious corridor. I don't know who is playing the guqin in the Xuanlang, sometimes tactful and sometimes melodious. When I walked in, I saw that Ouyang Hongye was sitting leaning against the pillar, surrounded by the Manzhu and Shahua sisters, looking at him playing.

"Why are you here?" Ouyang Xiao Leng stepped forward and asked.

"I came to ask my old friends about something. I just heard that you were also here, so I'm waiting for you here." Ouyang Hongye stopped the piano and said.

"We're leaving now." Ouyang Xiao Leng found that Ouyang Hongye's eyes looking at him and Xia Qiu were a little strange, and then he noticed that he had forgotten to let go of his hand holding Xia Qiu.

"I'm leaving, too. I'll play another reserved track for you next time." Ouyang Hongye got up and held Guqin on his chest and squeezed his eyes at Manzhu.

"Thank you, Lord Hongye! Come and see us often!" The silver bell-like sounded again, and the two sisters disappeared into the sea of flowers hand in hand.

Ouyang Hongye came to Manzhu and Shahua to find out who had passed through the two-life Xuanlang recently, and whether there was anything unusual among them. According to them, a man in a black cloak appeared on the two corridors. Because they couldn't see their faces clearly, they were not sure who it was.

Judging from the perspective of time, it seems that the Rasha mother of the group of young people who attacked Xia Qiu with the water of the dead water pool. She should have noticed that due to the recent attack of Xia Qiu in Yongchuan Forest and the strange death of the descendants of the Ouyang family, the boundary around the forest has been strengthened, and there are many symbols that can serve as an alarm on the boundary, so Instead of destroying the boundary, he chose to use the young people who just entered the forest. Ouyang Hongye is not sure whether it is also her who caused the strange death of the descendants of the Ouyang family, but since the war 16 years ago, she has disappeared with Qingyun, but now suddenly become so active, which makes him sure that Qingyun's comeback is not an unprovoked conjecture.

"Would you like to try to learn something about the Blood League?" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked her on the way home.

"Yes." Xia Qiu answered firmly.

"Hongye wants to invite you to Ouyang Ancient House again. I hope that you will not make a decision that you regret because you are incited by anyone, but just listen to your own heart."

"Hmm."
