Chapter 53 The Moment of Reunion

The person Ouyang Xiao Leng misses is on her way back to Yongchuan, Wangcheng alone. Although she is guided and accompanied by cranes all the way, she is still lonely. It was only because she was thinking about the promise she made to the Feather Crane Fairy and the yearning for her blood alliance partners, her family and partners, which made her brave. She crossed the golden dragonfly maple forest alone, stepped across the mountain stream, passed the Tibetan sparrow platform, bypassed southern Zhejiang, galloped the horse, and returned to her heart like an arrow.

The vague outline of Wangcheng Yongchuan finally appeared in her sight on the evening of the third day. The Chenji Palace on the mountains was still magnificent. Everything in Wangcheng was familiar and strange. There were obviously many more people on the street than she remembered, and all the streets were also decorated. No one pays too much attention to her, whose whole body is tightly wrapped in a cloak. Most people regard her as a foreign guest to see the demeanor of the new lord of the demon world. She came to the main gate of the Chenji Palace. Compared with the previous depression, it has also changed a lot. Although the door was open, there were many guards guarding it, and the entry and exit had to be checked.

"Go ahead, Qing Cui." Xia Qiu turned over and got off the horse skillfully and lightly, and then gently patted Qingcui's forehead and said, Qingcui gasped and disappeared.

When she walked to the front door, she was unexpectedly stopped by the bodyguard. She said confidently to a guard, "I am the blood alliance signator of the demon king fox. If you don't believe it, you can inform Ouyang Hongye, the red-haired demon fox marquis, and he will definitely come to pick it up in person." Seeing that the bodyguard was still hesitant after hearing it, she continued, "If you don't let me in at this moment, Hongye will definitely blame you in the future."

Because Ouyang Hongye alone has the right to prepare for the whole enthronement ceremony, he has established great prestige in Yongchuan, Wangcheng and even the whole demon world. As the brother and important minister of the former king Xueye, he is also the adoptive father and mentor of the current demon king fox. Now he is on behalf of the two elders, Ouyang Yong and Lion Wangcheng, who have full power to deal with the demon world. It's a small matter, so when the bodyguard heard that the girl in front of him dared to call him a red leaf, he immediately softened and let him go decisively after saluteing.

From the moment she stepped into the Chenji Palace, Xia Qiu was shocked by the red carpet on the central axis and the decoration of the whole palace. There were many busy demon servants in the palace, and some well-dressed demons who went in and out or stopped to talk. At first, she walked slowly forward, and then ran to the Fuxing Hall in three steps and two steps. .

She ran straight into the courtyard behind the Fuxing Hall. It was not like other places along the way. It was as calm as yesterday. When she passed the room where Ouyang Xiao Leng used to live, she found that the doors and windows were locked. She tried to knock on the door a few times but didn't respond, so she had to go to Grandpa Yong. This place was still familiar to her and smell the fragrance of tea from afar. At this time, Ouyang Yong was reading a book in Luohan**.

"Grandpa Yong!" Xia Qiu couldn't wait to get into his arms.

Ouyang Yong suddenly raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and calmed down before confirming that it was Xia Qiu himself, "Xiaqiu, you're back!"

"Uh-huh!" Xia Qiu nodded and rushed forward, suddenly took his hand, and saw his kind face again, just like a wanderer who had been wandering for many years finally returned home.

Ouyang Yong held her hand tighter, and his look has recovered a lot these days. Although he is not as tough as when he first met, he looks more kind. He asked, "Is everything okay?"

"Well, everything is fine!" Xia Qiu nodded to him.

"Alas, it's a pity that you didn't catch up with Xiao Leng's enthronement ceremony." Ouyang Yong sighed and said.

"Is the enthronement ceremony going well?" When Xia Qiu heard the words of the throne ceremony, she immediately asked.

"Yes, now Xiao Leng is the lord of the demon world who inherits the name of the demon king fox, the real king of the demon world!" Ouyang Yong replied with a smile.

"Great!" Xia Qiu was so excited that she didn't know what to do. Her feet wanted to jump up, and her voice became choked. It was a kind of joy from the bottom of her heart. She asked, "What about him?"

"He has entered the Yuheng Hall, which is the inner hall of the Chenji Palace and the residence of successive demon kings. It has been thoroughly cleaned before and after the throne ceremony, and is also equipped with bodyguards and demon servants. Therefore, after the ceremony, Xiao Leng naturally moved there to live there." Ouyang Yong said meaningfully that even if all this had become a reality, it still made him sigh. He had already seen through Xia Qiu's thoughts, "Go and see him quickly. He has been waiting for you."

"Well, then I..." Xia Qiu nodded and stopped talking.

"Go quickly!" Ouyang Yong urged.

"Good!" As she spoke, she ran to the inner hall of Yuheng.

The guards outside the Yuheng Hall are lined up, and the inside and outside are closely guarded. Since the accession ceremony, except for a few people appointed by Ouyang Xiao Leng and the demon servants assigned to him by Ouyang Hongye, no one is allowed to enter without authorization, and Ouyang Hongye is also stationed in to ensure his safety, so it is extremely difficult to enter it. Fortunately, Xia Qiu was meeting Ouyang Hongye in front of the door, and then he was able to enter smoothly.

I don't know why she said goodbye to Ouyang Yong. Her heart suddenly felt at a loss. Although she had been looking forward to Ouyang Xiao Leng's smooth accession to the throne, the sudden and huge change in the demon world still surprised her. At this time, she did not have a sense of belonging in the past, which did not belong to her. Now it has become more strange.

When he saw that Ouyang Hongye made her hanging heart fall a little, he still smiled charmingly as usual, squeezed his tender eyes and said to her, "He has been waiting for you 1"

"Really?" Although Xia Qiu knew that this was the answer she wanted, she couldn't help but be sure again and again.

"When you see his lost look, you will believe what I said!"

While Ouyang Hongye led her to the backyard of the Yuheng Hall where Ouyang Xiao Leng lived, she told her about the ceremony. There were countless snow lotus planted on both sides of the gravel road in the courtyard, and a tall red stood a little discordantly in the middle of a snow lotus.

"These snow lotus were planted for Susu on a snowy night, and that red plum was specially moved by Xiao Leng from his courtyard!" Speaking of this, Ouyang Hongye couldn't help laughing.

The red plum once appeared in Ouyang's little cold dream, and in that dream, Xia Qiu stood under this tree. These days, he often stood under the plum tree like today. His gray-blue pupils were not looking at anything, but quietly looked ahead, like a vast lake.

Ouyang Hongye led Xia Qiu to him, and then blinked at Xia Qiu and walked away, leaving her to walk towards him alone. In fact, she felt that she should run to him, but with each step, her feet became heavier and heavier, which came from her complex feelings for him, both happy and painful, sweet and bitter. She came to him step by step, but he didn't realize what kind of reunion it was because he missed her.

"Xiao Leng..."

Until she gently called his name, he was not sure whether all this was real or just a dream. He hesitated to turn his face, and the white dress was full of sadness on his face, which made people heartbroken. He looked carefully and again, as if he still couldn't believe his eyes. Isn't this an illusion? He thought to himself that he had had similar hallucinations more than once these days. She suddenly appeared in front of him. No matter what she experienced, she always looked at him with a smile.

He couldn't care so much. He took a big step in front of her and stretched out his hand to touch her hair, her cheeks and shoulders. When his hands felt her body temperature, he confirmed her truth in his heart, and then suddenly opened his arms to hold her in his arms. He has been brewing for this hug these days. I'm just worried that I can't express my feelings well, and I will hesitate when I see her.

It was not until the moment when he was hugged tightly that Xia Qiu's heart completely relaxed. His arms were warmer than in his memory, so that she was melted by the whole. All the uneasiness, fatigue, including tears, were released from her body, but he hugged too tightly, which made her a little breathless.

"I can't breathe." She stretched out her hand and patted him on the back and whispered, with a slight choking voice.

Ouyang Xiao Leng then reacted, reluctantly slowly loosened her arm, and then began to carefully observe her face. She looked very tired, with some dust on her cheeks and clothes. He imagined that she had walked so far alone in the world that did not belong to her. It must be lonely and scary, but he couldn't find these emotions on her face. Although there were tears in her eyes, there was still a smile on the corners of her mouth, as if nothing had happened. As a result, his heart was stung, and her strength made him sad. That kind of heartache was something he had never had, and it was indescribable and explained.

"What happened after we left? The Feather Crane Fairy didn't embarrass you, did he? Ouyang Xiao Leng asked and gently helped Xia Qiu wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"No, the Feather Crane Fairy is actually very kind and simple. He has been looking for his past memories. According to him, when he woke up on Changsheng Island a long time ago, he carried a heavenly charm, which is inextricably related to him and the vitality of the island. He did not lie. During this period, there has been no Tianfu on Changsheng Island. He became weaker and weaker, and the plants on the island began to die one after another. I think he knew there would be such a result. The reason why he asked me to stay there was that I didn't want to die alone.

"So..." Ouyang Xiao Leng listened to Xia Qiu's words and guessed that the feather crane fairy would be more or less lucky, otherwise how could she come back?

"He is still alive, I convinced him! I want to ask Mr. Dong Muya for help. If the demon world does not record any books about his past, then there may be some in the database in the basement of Ouyang Ancient House. Because we also cracked the exact location of the earth charm and the heavenly charm through the information there, I must rush back to Ouyang Ancient House immediately. Xia Qiu guessed the reason why Ouyang Xiaoceng stopped talking, so she quickly explained to him the real reason why she could come back.

"Then I'll go with you." Ouyang said coldly without thinking.

"It doesn't matter. The in-place ceremony has just ended. There must be a lot of things for you here. I'll just go back by myself. In addition, I should go home." Xia Qiu thought about her grandparents from the bottom of her heart, and she hadn't seen them for a long time. She even began to miss her father's voice.

Ouyang Xiao Leng couldn't help showing a lonely and sad expression. Thinking of dealing with the people around him mechanically every day during this period, he finally waited until Xia Qiu came back, but he had to separate from her again. Even for a short time, it made him feel painful. If it was before, he would have covered it up with silence. Yes, but facing her at this moment, he didn't want to resist at all.

Seeing what was on his mind, Xia Qiu pretended to be an interview and asked, "Interview, what's the mood of just now?"

He was immediately amused by her behavior, with a rare faint smile on his face. He suddenly sighed that since he met her, how many expressions had not been added to his face before, and how many emotions had been added to his heart that he had in the past.

She patted him on the shoulder exaggeratedly and said, "Okay, okay, you have to prepare how to answer me when I go back."

Both of them laughed, and all the sadness disappeared with the laughter. A gust of wind blew, and the red plum petals fell with the wind. One of them happened to fall on Xia Qiu's hair. Ouyang Xiao Leng reached out to help her take it off when he was hitting her eyes, so that he couldn't help lowering his head and his face close to her, and then My forehead is attached to her. If she hadn't thought about the Feather Crane Fairy, Xia Qiu really hoped that time could stay at this moment, but she knew that there were more important things waiting for her.
