Chapter 14 Demon King Promotion Conference

It was early in the morning when Xia Qiu was awakened by the fragrance of plum blossoms on the pillow. Because of the dragon blood, she slept very deeply this night, and her weak body was mostly recovered due to poisoning.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that Ouyang Xiao Leng was lying by the bed and sleeping soundly. In his sleep, his face was not as cold as usual, but more pure and serene as a child. I don't know what kind of dream he was having, with a smile on the corners of his mouth. Looking at him like this, her previous physical and mental pain disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't help smiling. She slowly got up, put a blanket on him lightly, and then walked to the courtyard to stretch her stiff body.

It is misty and rainy outside, the fog barrier overlaps in the air, and the plum blossoms on the branches are also wet by the rain. The first time she saw the rain in the demon world, Xia Qiu was overjoyed. She stood in the corridor and looked at the rain outside, smelling the rain in the air and enjoying this moment of tranquility.

This is not the first time for her life is on the line, but after yesterday's disaster, her heart has become much more detached, and she is no longer so afraid of life and death. She deeply realized that the tranquility in the demon king city that Ouyang Xiao Leng and others said was just an illusion, and the tranquility that soon existed on the surface was about to be broken. During the period when Ouyang Xiao Leng left, Lord Yong told her in detail about the severity of the battle for the throne of the demon world. In order to protect their own interests, all parties did not hesitate to do anything and even stained with blood with their fingers.

Although the demon world has long been not as prosperous as in its heyday, the mysterious treasures of Southern Zhejiang City, the rare ores of hidden pine, and the stable wealth of Dongyao are enough to make people obsessed with chaos, because whoever gets the royal power can have all this. There is also the extreme fear of fighting with Qingyun again, which are all obstacles to Ouyang Xiao Leng's accession to the throne. Xia Qiu thought about these and walked slowly along the corridor. As he walked, a figure also looking at the rain appeared in front of him.

Qianqi couldn't sleep because he was full of things on his mind, so he walked out of the room to breathe at dawn. When he saw that Xia Qiu was able to walk, a smile finally appeared on his face and asked, "Why did you get up so early?" Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better. How about you? It doesn't matter if you lose so much blood at once to save me, right?

Xia Qiu thought of Qianqi's poisoned self last night, and did not hesitate to donate such precious dragon blood. In addition to being moved, he was also a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, look! For me, such a little blood is nothing at all. I can completely recover after a sleep. Qianqi deliberately raised his wrist to show Xia Qiu. Although the wound on it had completely recovered, in fact, he was lying. It might take weeks to lose so much dragon blood to fully recover his strength, but he didn't want Xia Qiu to feel that he owed him for this. He always felt that it was his negligence that made her almost dead.

Xia Qiu and Qianqi stood side by side, but turned their eyes to the misty rain in the yard. She didn't look at anything, but let her eyes turn to the distance and said, "That's good!" You said before that it would meet my three wishes. Are you kidding?

"Of course, what I said will never break my promise." Qianqi looked at Xia Qiu's side face quietly and felt that as long as she said it, she would try her best to realize it. In fact, it had nothing to do with the promise of the three wishes, because he had no strength to refuse her at all.

"Hmm." Xia Qiu thought that Qianqi was just a joke, but she didn't expect that he answered so seriously, and her mood became trembling.

If he begged Qianqi to support him for Ouyang Xiao Leng, would he agree? She knew in her heart that doing this was equivalent to using Qianqi, but she still came up with such an idea. Even she herself did not know why she became so selfish.

At the moment when Xia Qiu hesitated, Qianqi asked tentatively, "Do you think Xiao Leng can successfully get the support of the rest of Wangcheng at the demon king's promotion meeting?"

Xia Qiu nodded vigorously and asked, "Will you stand by his side?" If my first wish is for you to stand by his side and support him regardless of gains and losses, will you fulfill my wish?

"Hmm." Qianqi smiled and nodded without thinking. His body made a choice for him before thinking. He smiled at the human girl he had just met in front of him. He felt that everything was right and worth it.

Although everyone wants Xia Qiu to take a day off, she still insists on going to school. This is the first time she has set out from the demon world to her own high school, or with Ouyang Xiao Leng. That feeling can only be described as subtle.

For good, when she went out the day before, she had lied to her grandparents that she would spend the night at Liu Lingmei's house, and her schoolbag was also left in Ouyang Ancient House, otherwise there would be a lot of troubles. Recently, she has always been lying with her family, which has made her uneasy. If she delays her studies, she will be even more unable to forgive herself. In fact, on the other hand, she is eager to return to her world, because only stepping on the streets and campuses she is familiar with can make her feel alive again.

The pace in the school on Monday is always very fast. From the flag-raising ceremony in the morning, Xia Qiu has no chance to recall the terrible experience of being abcroached by Rasha's mother yesterday. During the lunch break, she suddenly remembered that there would be no love bento made by grandma today. At this time, Liu Lingmei came over.

"What? Didn't you bring food today?" Liu Lingmei asked mysteriously.

In the morning, she happened to see from the window of the classroom that Xia Qiu came to school with Ouyang Xiao Leng. I don't know when they became so close. Xia Qiu gradually began to talk about her own affairs, and even did not take the initiative to reveal the details of Ouyang Xiao Leng's confession to her before. From the day they became good friends, she thought that there was no secret between her and Xia Qiu. Until Ouyang Xiao Leng appeared, her friend suddenly seemed to have changed. This strange feeling made her sad. She had been suppressing herself, but she became more and more uncontrollable.

Xia Qiu's eyes shook a trace of embarrassment and answered her: "I accidentally forgot!"

"Let's eat separately!" Liu Lingmei bit her lip or swallowed a lot of questions she wanted to throw to Xia Qiu. She just put her bento on her table, and then pulled a chair and sat opposite her as usual.

Just as the two were about to start, Dong Muya came in and shouted, "Xia Qiu, your family has brought you food!"

Xia Qiu hesitated and stepped forward to take the bento box that Dong Muya handed her. At a glance, she knew that it was not commonly used by them. But when she saw the sticky note with red leaves on the box, she guessed who sent it to her.

She walked back to her seat and opened the mysterious bento box. Liu Lingmei couldn't help screaming, "Wow!"

The bento prepared for her by Ouyang Hongye can only be described as luxury. The still loud black pepper steak and the roasted cod cut into the shape of flowers, with cucumber, fruit salad and noodles, all the food is steaming, which makes people feel that it must have been preserved in some "special" way. It is definitely not just finished. It's so simple. She couldn't help thanking Ouyang Hongye from the bottom of her heart. Now he must be busy preparing for the conference, and he will even be thinking about himself.

"Would you like to have some food, too?" Xia Qiu turned around and asked Ouyang Xiao Leng behind.

"No!" Ouyang Xiao Leng also saw at a glance that it was Ouyang Hongye's trick. He really wanted to say something more to Xia Qiu, but he couldn't say it in front of Liu Lingmei.

In the next few days, because Xia Qiu's health had just recovered and Ouyang Yong was busy preparing for the promotion conference, her training was suspended. Although Ouyang Xiao Leng had to return to the king city of the demon world after school, the previous events made him insist on picking her up in person. For a moment, she seemed to have returned to an ordinary girl. Although it was only three days, sometimes she couldn't help thinking about whether everything in the demon world was just a dream, and Ouyang Xiao Leng was actually just an ordinary teenager. But she quickly woke up and the calm will not last. She must regroup and cheer up, because the crisis between the two worlds is not over, and her contractors still need her support. Their adventure has just begun!

The demon king's promotion meeting came as scheduled, and the Tianquan Hall, which serves as the venue, is also ready.

The Tianquan Hall is the most majestic hall in the whole Chenji Palace. There are nine folding doors on the front of the hall, which can accommodate thousands of people. The whole hall is supported by four huge columns in the southeast and northwest. The pillars are carved with the four ancient mythical beasts. They are also the sons of the gods, the green dragon, the white tiger, the rosefinch and the Xuanwu.

These four divine pillars were personally thrown here by the god Qiansu, the lord of the divine world. At that time, the demon world did not exist, and evil spirits and human beings lived together in the world. In order to avoid the continuous struggle between the two clans for a long time, the god Qiansu came up with using part of the divine power of his four sons to open it in another space. A new world was created to give the demons, and the whole demon world was gradually formed and developed with these four pillars as the center. Later, most of the evil spirits volunteered to come to this new world, because they are the owners here, so they can get everything they need without fighting with human beings. But there are also a small number of demons, either because they still miss the human world, or continue to hide in the world because they violate the laws of the demon world to escape their guilt. They live around human beings disguised as human beings or animals.

Chenji Palace did not build a city overnight by demon method, but was built by the black bee demon family, the best building in the demon world, after several generations of bricks and tiles. Every piece of marble, every beam and column, every piece of gold brick, every carving is hand-made, and their painstaking efforts are poured into it. The black wall of the Chenji Palace was formed by the black bee craftsmen who died of overwork at the end of their lives by integrating their bodies into the outer wall of the Chenji Palace at the end of their lives. They made their bodies become part of the Chenji Palace, and their souls remain in the Chenji Palace forever. Occasionally, when the wind blows, it seems that you can still hear the unique song of the black bee demon clan, which is a chord generated by the resonance of the heart. After the construction of the Chenji Palace, the Black Bee Demon Clan has few left, and its unique and powerful construction skills have also been lost. Therefore, not to mention the royal city of Yongchuan, it is impossible for the whole demon world to have such a beautiful building.

Qianqi was determined to let go of his grudge to support Ouyang Xiao Leng because he gave Xia Qiu his first wish that early in the morning. He even informed the commander of the demon horse cavalry regiment who came to Yongchuan with him before the promotion meeting. Once the situation changed, even if he surrounded the Tianquan Hall, he would suppress those who opposed Ouyang Xiao Leng. He didn't care that he was still slightly weak because of the large amount of blood loss in the previous few days. This is a feeling he doesn't understand, and even the pain is still so firm. For the first time, he was so eager that another person would feel happy and happy because of his choice, for no reason, let alone in return.

He changed into a robe with a dragon pattern on a green background and a silver belt around his waist. Because I learned from Ouyang Hongye that most men in the human world have short hair like Ouyang Xiao Leng, so they simply cut off their long hair and turned them into short hair that had just covered their ears. In order to show the absolute strength of Dongyao City ruled by his father, and to gain the trust of other elders and royal families, he specially wore a jade wrench that was usually a burden and a dragon collar carved with a whole piece of gold.

Ouyang Hongye, Wangyue and Ouyang Yong went to the Tianquan Hall first. Ouyang Xiao Leng waited for Xia Qiu and Qianqi on the corridor. He was wearing a silver thread prickly pear robe on a white background. This cloth was his father Ouyang Xueye's favorite before his death. He deliberately divided the cloth into two, one of which was used by himself, while the other was sent. Give it to Ouyang Hongye. Ouyang Hongye has kept it until now. Before the promotion meeting, he made this robe for Ouyang Xiaolan according to the style he often wore before his death, and the golden belt tied around his waist and the fox-patterned agate wrenches on his fingers were all used by his father Ouyang Xueye before his death. On his upper arm was a sterling silver arm ring carved with divine symbols that has been passed down from the demon king fox ancestor Silver Fox Shenjun from generation to generation.

Qianqi first walked out of the room and stood beside Ouyang Xiao Leng. The two did not speak, but waited for Xia Qiu in silence.

Before going to the Heavenly Power Hall, Ouyang Yong ordered the female demon servants to serve Xia Qiu's cleansing, bathing and changing clothes. She was replaced with a white brocade robe prepared by Ouyang Yong for her with a red plum and all-red inside, and tied with a goose-yellow silk ribbon around her waist. The female demon servants put their buns behind their heads for her, and the plum hairpin, which can be turned into a plum blade, was inserted on it. They also slightly powdered her. Although her skin became paler soon after recovering from the poison given by Rasha's mother, it also became more beautiful and refined because of this.

She came to Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qianqi with a shy smile on her face, like a newly opened white lotus. Usually, Ouyang Xiaolan's plain clothes have made Ouyang Xiaolan feel good-looking. Although it is only a little embellishment today, she still makes him feel as graceful as a dragon.

Her body bathed in water soaked with plum petals, every step has the remaining dark fragrance of plum blossoms, which inevitably reminds Qianqi of the scene when she enjoyed the misty rain with Xia Qiu in the early morning. It is this fragrance that spreads in the courtyard in the misty rain, which is better than magnolia than rosemary.
