Chapter 27 Each one's heart
The clear sky was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds, and the fine and dense rain danced with the wind like cow hair.
Zhou Chongxiao was awakened by the cold rain, his brain was still dizzy, his body seemed to have been drained, and his limbs were sore and soft.
The green weeds rustled, and with the slow footsteps, a light yellow dress shook next to Zhou Chongxiao's head.
Zhou Chongxiao saw the people coming through the rain curtain, and couldn't help but feel nervous: "Shui Lian, how can it be you?"
"Is it an accident?" Shui Lian squatted down and looked at Zhou Chongxiao with joking eyes.
"What do you...what do you want to do?" Zhou Chongxiao tried to support himself and wanted to retreat in a panic.
"What else can I do? Can I kiss you again?" Taking a white jade-like finger and gently sliding through the cherry-colored lips, Shui Lian was satisfied to see that Zhou Chongxiao's face became colorful in an instant.
Zhou Chongxiao's eyes don't know where to put his eyes. Looking at Shui Lian's evil face is wrong, looking at his jade-like chest is not right, and looking at his snow feet stepping on the green grass is also wrong. In the end, he could only choose to close his eyes and pretend to be dead.
A soft feeling hit his defenseless mouth. At the same time, Shui Lian's fingers with a body temperature lower than ordinary people also quietly crawled into his skirt, making him feel an uncontrollable tremor rising from his waist and back, and his whole body was not right.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and as a surprise, he saw that Shui Lian's evil face was close at hand. Zhou Chongxiao was so shocked that he wanted to open his mouth and scream, but Shui Lian took this opportunity to attack him.
The astringent smell of blood spread in his mouth, and Zhou Chongxiao's head has completely lost the ability to think. Although I had heard rumors about the good of Longyang for a long time, I didn't expect that one day this kind of thing would happen to me, and it was forced by demons under such circumstances.
"Are you thinking wrong?" The cold words came out of Shui Lian's mouth. He bit Zhou Chongxiao's cheek and made the fool come to his senses. "This is just a ceremony to make a contract."
"What...what contract?" Zhou Chongxiao didn't know where the strength came from. He grabbed Shui Lian's cold jade hand swimming around his chest and said breathlessly.
"This!" Shui Lian took his hand out of Zhou Chongxiao's skirt, but there was also the gossip jade card. "As early as more than 20 years ago, I was told that I would follow the owner of the gossip jade card in my life. However, I didn't expect that its owner would be you.
"So...so what?" He grabbed his jade card and stuffed it back into his clothes. Zhou Chongxiao was so nervous that he almost bit his tongue.
"Nothing!" Shui Lian stood up and looked at Zhou Chongxiao condescendingly, "I am a nobleman of the dragon clan. I can't follow you, a useless scholar!" So I just signed a contract with you. In the future, if your ability can't surpass me, then I don't need to keep any vows. I can leave you and be the dragon prince who is free.
"Then it's faster for you to kill me." The broken jar broke, and Zhou Chongxiao said with anger.
"If only it could be that simple." Shui Lian spread out his hands, "The gossip jade card recognizes you as the master and protects you all the time. In addition, you have just received the stupid snake, and now it is also in the ranks of protection. I'm just a poor, newly transformed demon. How can I be their opponent?"
Zhou Chongxiao finally struggled to sit up, with a trace of blood on the corners of his mouth, and said confusedly, "Did I take the snake? However, since you are the prince of the dragon clan, how can you become a fish in my back garden?
"Who said I was a fish!" Shui Lian looked at each other angrily, "That was just an accident. When I ran to your house, I didn't want to be grabbed by your little uncle by my beard, and he even pulled me into the pool together. Later, the old man of the king of the emperor actually judged the prince for manslaughter. He said all my faults in front of my father. He punished me for being trapped in the body of the fish, and even had to live against your uncle's face.
Zhou Chongxiao was shocked by his sudden anger.
"But this is not a completely bad thing." With a change of tone, Shui Lian touched her chin and narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Your mother seems to be very kind to this younger brother. Remember, when you go back, you should listen to me, my little uncle!"
Outside the Zhou Mansion, there was a large group of people who talked about the appearance of dragons and immortals before. When he saw Shui Lian coming with Zhou Chongxiao in his arms from afar, he was stunned.
"Let me down." Zhou Chongxiao gritted his teeth and said, but his body didn't know what method was applied by Shuilian, and he couldn't help moving by himself.
"What do you think?" He smiled faintly and was in a good mood to see Zhou Chongxiao's ugly Shuilian, and even strode into the gate of Zhoufu.
"Young master..." Zhang Bo, who watched the door, stared at Shui Lian and entered the door with Zhou Chongxiao in his arms. Then he remembered to catch up and block Shui Lian and ask, "Who are you...?"
Looking back and smiling, Shui Lian's face blurred Zhang Bo's eyes. He said in a charming voice, "Bun Zhang, don't you recognize me? I'm Zhou Lian!"
"Little master!" Uncle Zhang opened his mouth wide and said, "You...you're not already..."
Sitting around the big round table, Mrs. Zhou held Shui Lian in her left hand and Zhou Chongxiao in her right hand. Her eyes were red for a long time, but she couldn't say anything.
Although Zhou Chongxiao didn't want to admit Shui Lian's identity, Shui Lian had been staring at him with an ambiguous look, so that he did not have the courage to tell the truth to Mrs. Zhou at all.
"Rian'er, can you tell your sister about your experience over the years?" Obviously, Mrs. Zhou, who fully believed Shui Lian's words, had no doubt about him. Instead, she was extremely happy that her younger brother was resurred.
Shui Lian repeated the story for a long time with a good temper: "Sister. I didn't say it all just now. At that time, I fell into the water and was washed out by the water. I was just saved by the passing master. Master accepted me as an apprentice and practiced cloud travel everywhere with me who had lost my memory. It was not until a few days ago that I remembered the past. Well, as soon as I got outside the city, I saw a beast preparing to eat people. Then I took action to save it, but I didn't expect this person to be Chongxiao.
"It's no wonder I searched the bottom of the pool and couldn't find your body at that time. It turned out to be..." Mrs. Zhou lowered her head to wipe her tears.
Only then did Zhou Chongxiao understand why Shui Lian's lie can be said so smoothly. I think he already knew that Zhou Fu did not find Zhou Lian's body in those years, so he would definitely believe in his words.
"Auntie, since Uncle Zhou has returned safely, don't cry." Li Hanyu sat at the bottom and advised him.
"Yes. Look at me, how can I shed tears on this happy day? Mrs. Zhou raised her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Come on, let's eat, let's eat."
After being full of wine and food, Zhou Chongxiao went back to his room.
Who knew that he entered the door with his forefoot, and Shuilian followed him, and looked around his room with critical eyes.
"Didn't the housekeeper arrange a room for you?" Zhou Chongxiao looked at him warily, afraid that he would do something unexpected.
"Yes, it's the best one! After all, I am also the most beloved little master in this family. Shui Lian casually turned over the book on the desk. "I'm just looking to see what your room looks like."
"Then you have finished reading it now. You can go." Opening the door, Zhou Chongxiao put on a look to see the guests off.
"Chementum, I have something important to say." Shui Lian stretched out her hand and waved her hand, and the door automatically closed with a bang.
Zhou Chongxiao stared at the door that could not be opened no matter how hard he tried. He could only turn around and face the water that was sitting next to the table and drinking tea leisurely. He said angrily, "What's important, now you can say it!"
"Are you really not a monk?" Squinting his eyes, Shui Lian seemed to ask casually.
"Do I look like it?" Zhou Chongxiao also sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea by himself. "Am I a monk important?"
"That's strange." Shui Lian reached out and picked up a strand of hair beside Zhou Chongxiao's temples and pulled it. "Since you are not a monk, why did you become the owner of the gossip jade card? Why is the old man so nervous about you? Why do people keep coming to trouble you?"
"I want to know too!" Thinking of all the tragic situations these days, Zhou Chongxiao felt incredible.
Shui Lian took a sip of tea and knew that he couldn't ask anything from Zhou Chongxiao, so he stopped asking for it. He just glanced at Zhou Chongxiao with pitiful eyes, and then walked away.
"What a weirdo." Zhou Chongxiao took a sip, rolled his eyes, and was ready to go to bed.
Deep in the abyss of clouds, ten stone fields.
Changqing fell from the air, and Tao Qingqing immediately greeted him. When he saw Xuanyuan Bi's peace, he exhaled for a long time, and finally settled a worried heart.
"Third brother, why did you let go of the dragon?" Xia Yongshang and Sima Shang asked with one voice.
"Nothing, it's just that the time hasn't come." Changqing lowered his eyebrows and turned around and left.
The Xia Yongshang brothers couldn't get the answer they wanted. They looked at each other and felt bored, so they left.
Tao Qingqing took Xuanyuanbi in her arms, rubbed it again and again. Her fear of losing her mood has never been as painful as it is now.
Looking up at Tao Qingqing from his arms, Xuanyuanbi seemed to feel something and said, "Sister, I will only hold you back. Isn't it incompetent?"
"Who said that!" Tao Qingqing suddenly grabbed Xuanyuanbi's shoulder and looked nervous. "You are our favorite little sister. It's too late for us to love you. Who dares to say that you are dragging your feet? Who dares to say that you are incompetent?"
Xuanyuan Bi was hoarse and knew that the elder sister who protected her like a hen protecting a chicken would definitely not let herself have the idea of inferiority. However, this overprotective attitude made Xuanyuanbi's heart hurt even more.
"Sister, before Master left, I should have told you something!" After calming down, Xuanyuan asked quietly.
"Hmm. But I don't know what you want to ask.
"What if I say, I want my elder sister to teach me swordsmanship?"
Tao Qingqing's face suddenly froze, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Tears fell down, but she couldn't say a word.
