Chapter 81 [Zhu Xia]

People like Huamian can be very stubborn if they become stubborn.

For many days and nights, she would rather hold the quilt and stare behind a door, watch the candle shadows shaking in the study, and yawning and counting the candlelight, the man turned over a few pages of the book. Until he put out the candle and fell asleep, she also turned over and closed her eyes...

Despite this, she gritted her teeth and refused to push open the door, asking him if she wanted to go into the house to sleep;

Complaint that it will take her a long time to warm up the quilt;

Or just a light sentence, “I think I miss you a little”—

This time she was really persistent and gritted her teeth and refused to bow her head, although she didn't know what she was insisting on.

...If you really want to say something, it is probably because after seeing the Demon Lock Tower, she was brought up some very bad memories... After all, the fact that the Demon Lock Tower was fooled by others was also spread among the artifacts, and everyone sighed: In the powerful artifact, they were bullied and turned around, and in the end they were as desolate as an abandoned cat and dog.

………………………… Hua Mian really doesn’t want to be a dog that is “known to everyone” now, uh, cats can’t do it either.

She suddenly felt that she had become as annoying and greedy as ordinary girls. She was eager to know her position in Xuanji's heart; she longed to hear some promises from men to her; she even hoped that one day Xuanji could lower his noble head as his master in front of her...

Once such thoughts arise, Huamian will first startle.

But now.

She found that she could not suppress such hopes at the same time, no matter what, it became her obsession, and also her belief that she was hard on her backbone and refused to give in to men even a little bit.

Wugui scoffed at this and said that she was probably crazy.

"I don't want to be as embarrassed as the Demon Locking Tower."

"Don't worry, you won't," Wugui's eyes rolled around his eyes and said arrogantly in a very annoying tone, "With me here, I will be the first to take action to you before you do something embarrassing."

"…Is this what you should say to your adorable sister?"

"Cute? I think it's hateful, right?"

“…”

"I see when you can bear it."

"The earth is gone forever. At worst, it will take so long for this life. I am a magic weapon, longevity and heaven. The master is a human race. It will not take ten or eight years to grow old. At that time, I will not believe that there are anyone besides me who wants him-"

"...Your magical artifact, which is a long and Tianqi, has not learned a lot of magic, but a woman's viciousness has learned ten levels of ten."

"Anyway, I won't take the initiative to bow my head to him!"

"It's better."

above.

The only exchange with Wugui on this matter ended in a less pleasant way, and the male creatures in the world all wore pairs of pants, which made them look particularly annoying.

What makes people feel most tormented is that Wugui is right, although in the Cold War, due to some objective reasons, she cannot completely ignore Xuan Ji—

It was originally OK to do this, but maybe in the eyes of the palace maids and guards, she and Xuan Ji had a breakup, which was a joyful thing worth celebrating... But because she was the last and only one who witnessed what happened in the middle of the forest, it was a bit difficult for her to continue to act transparent recently. Recently, they would never forget to carry her with her at an internal meeting... So recently, Huamian not only opened up to the internal organization openly, but also directly skipped the "auditor seat" she had dreamed of and sat steadily on the "speaking seat".

So, whenever Hua Mian tried his best to speak coldly and talk about the Demon Locking Tower in a business tone, Xuan Ji sat quietly aside, holding his jaw with one hand and lowering his eyes, listening very seriously.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This greatly increases the difficulty of Huamian's cold war to the end.

Even though she was pretending to talk to Shangguan Zhuoyue very seriously, she was actually staring at Xuan Ji. He was holding a pen and didn't know what to write on the rice paper in front of him. When Hua Mian was speaking, he was probably recording some useful information in her words, such as "when he was exposed to evil spirits, his eyes turned red." Now he didn't know what he was writing.

Huamian didn't dare to come over to see it.

"So, the Demon Locking Tower once had a love disaster with a big monster, and it made everyone famous for this, so that the Demon Locking Tower finally violated its old wishes and hurt itself to destroy the seal in the Demon Locking Tower, giving the big monster a chance to escape... But the big monster was just playing with her feelings from beginning to end, and after breaking through the seal, he didn't look back?" Shangguan Zhuoyue raised her eyebrows.

"Well," Hua Mian whispered, "Have you never read the records in ancient books?"

She was nonsense, no one who was full and dared to arrange the dark history of the Demon Locking Tower. She was a gloomy crazy woman. After being abandoned, she became a hysterical and gloomy crazy woman.

Shangguan Zhuoyue naturally knew how she knew this past event, and would not expose her. She just raised the corners of her lips and said in an indecent tone: "I have never seen such strange stories. Our leader's wife is very knowledgeable."

Yu Guang saw Xuan Ji's hand writing and painting on rice paper.

Hua Mian held back the twitching corners of her lips and looked at Shangguan Zhuoyue. She realized that he was completely 90 years old and was deliberately not opening any pot. So she took the initiative to talk about it: "I don't know if the demon lock tower appears here now because she feels that the evil god is about to recover, or for other reasons... It's not right to say this. I heard that the evil god was extremely angry before, and he taught the demon lock tower a lesson. It was just because she transformed into a spirit and was spared from it. But after that, she was also disconnected from it-"

The Demon Locking Tower cannot risk being killed by the four clans to lead the evil god.

The third young master of the Wing Clan interrupted: "In recent days, the evil spirits have become even worse in the dense forest, but the banshee has not acted rashly."

“——At this point, I had a dream yesterday.”

A soft voice sounded in the corner.

Everyone looked at the voice. After recovering from the serious illness, Shanshui, who was much more low-key, had a pale face, and his slender fingertips tightened his clothes. He looked pitiful and weak: "There is a very beautiful woman who asked me to hand over the person she wanted... I don't know who she is talking about."

"Sir, I'm afraid it's a nightmare, but I have some unrealistic fantasies. Although it is understood that the Demon Locking Tower is just looking for someone from her, it makes sense to stay outside the city without moving the troops these days. But looking at the Xia, isn't the person who wants the Demon Locking Tower the only one who wants it? She wants people, but she doesn't care if we want it," Hua Mian said lightly, "Who among you has ever been a Demon Locking Tower?"

The words just fell.

Hearing the sound of the pen holder putting it back on the pen holder, the man who did not say a word from beginning to end suddenly put down his pen, raised his head, and looked at Huamian quietly from his emotionsless eyes.

Huamian is inexplicably confused.

Until Xuanji looked away.

After about half a cup of tea, she realized what the man's eyes meant just now, probably the meaning of "If you have the ability, you can continue" - Oh, it's so interesting, I just mentioned it casually, and didn't name it or make no fool of myself. If you don't feel guilty, what do you look for? A heartless man!

Anger swelled in her chest, Hua Mian changed her gentle and low-key voice and her speech speed increased a little: "Even if the dream of sacrificing priests is true, there is really a heartless man in us who wants to lock the demon tower - that day she will definitely not let us walk out of the dense forest safely, and put it back into the barrier of the imperial city. I will send a dream to ask for someone again in the near future..."

Wouldn't you take off your pants and fart?

Huamian felt that this logic was not working at all.

But at this time, I heard the man say in a low voice: "Your Highness, everyone in this room is here now. In order to solve the problem of locking the demon tower, I am afraid that some things will be difficult to hide from her."

The saying "insider" sounds quite pleasant.

Hua Mian's anger subsided a little, thinking that there is something you can't tell me directly?

While wondering, I heard Shangguan Zhuoyue also add fuel to the fire: "I thought you had told her that you had already told her that this was not the same day and night..."

Huamian: "…"

They were still "climbing together day and night". Isn't this the two people who were sleeping in the main room stabbing the knife in their minds? I really want to tear the fox's mouth... I was so angry that I heard Xuan Ji smile indifferently: "It's not my family matter, so I can't speak nonsense in private."

When Shangguan Zhuoyue heard this, he heard Xuan Ji's seriousness and a pool of stagnant water that could not cause any ripples, so he lost the interest in continuing to make fun of him. After thinking about it, he was about to speak, but Hua Mian discovered that the eldest prince, who was originally sitting next to him with a depressed look on his face, suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on his arm and pressed it.

Huamian: "?"

However, Shangguan Zhuoyue ignored his brother's nervousness and smiled leisurely at him: "It's interesting to say that the evil god's third seal in Beidi was not an object or formation, but an ancestor sealed the evil spirit into his bloodline. When my elder brother Shangguan Yaoyang was born, he had powerful power and had strange phenomena in the sky. It was the seal passed down from generation to generation. The sacrifice of Zhaixing Pavilion also mentioned that the emperor's brother was reincarnated as the Demon Dragon True Lord, went down to earth to go through the tribulation, safely survived the ordinary disaster, and died at the end of his life, and could ascend to the true dragon."

Huamian: "Oh."

No wonder the squad of the attack on the forest did not take Shangguan Yaoyang that day.

It turns out he is—

Hua Mian widened her eyes slightly and suddenly realized what Shangguan Zhuoyue said. She supported her hands and slapped the table from behind!

Although that was a few hundred years ago, the memory was actually blurred, but that day, the demon dragon broke through the seal of the demon lock tower, and the color of the heaven and earth changed. The black dragon scales shone brightly in the lightning, and the cold dragon eyes contained disdain and sarcasm. That day, the demon dragon roared, the old master Huang Shen roared, and the crying of the demon lock tower...

Huamian is vivid in my mind!

So is Shangguan Yaoyang what the Demon Locking Tower wants?

At the same time, Shangguan Yaoyang was the third seal guarded by the fox clan.

...But it is just the third seal. Even if it is really destroyed, there is still a fourth seal that can be delayed for a while and then think of other ways. However, with an extra demon lock tower next to it, it will inevitably end up being beaten up in a mess, which will really not look good.

Hua Mian thought about it, looked around the people around him, hesitated for a while, and finally said tentatively: "...We can't beat the demon lock tower together. If she wants it, we will--"

Forget it for her.

Before she could say such a bit of cold and ruthless bastard, Xuan Ji had already interrupted her coldly and called her name with her name. Hua Mian subconsciously shrank her neck and looked at the people around her: everyone was surprised, looking at her with a capital letter "How could you say such words", Shangguan Yaoyang looked even more faint.

Hua Mian was surprised: "Didn't you always keep talking about the safety and prosperity of the people in Beidi?"

Everyone: "..."

Hua Mian blinked: "Now you don't admit it again?"

Everyone: "..."

For a moment, everyone was silent inside the meeting. Shangguan Zhuoyue looked at Hua Mian, first surprised, then came back to her senses, and said with a joke: "It's reasonable, brother, then do you want to listen to Hua Mian's self-sacrifice?"

Shangguan Yaoyang's face was so dark that he could polish ink.

Hua Mian smiled at Shangguan Zhuoyue for the first time. Even though she knew that he was talking nonsense, she was still standing on her side with courage at this time, and she still recognized this kindness.

Shangguan Zhuoyue was also quite arrogant: "It's not easy to smile if you are the one who smiled. I'd said this before, so I took my brother's pants and tied them up to the ancient temple in Kunlin."

In the exclamation of Shangguan Yaoyang's trembling "you", Shangguan Zhuoyue said so much that Hua Mian laughed out loud this time!

At this time, there was a loud "bang" sound from the left hand. Qingxuan asked "Young Master" behind him. Hua Mian turned to look. It turned out that Xuanji had broken the inkstone that had just been placed on his hand. The ink was poured on the rice paper he had just written and painted, and some splashed on the hem of his clothes... Fortunately, he was covered in black and could not tell.

He waved back Qingxuan, who wanted to come up to help clean up, expressionlessly.

Hua Mian stopped talking, imitated others and wrote "you hypocrites" on her face until she was pulled up by Xuan Ji, who had a black face, covered her mouth and dragged it away.

...

Outside the study, it was snowing heavily.
