Chapter 351 Arrangement
Chapter 351 Arrangement
The Demon Queen's Palace, a separate courtyard.
In the entire courtyard, everything remains the same as before. The old tree with lush branches and leaves stands quietly, the quaint stone table is placed in the middle, and there is a slightly lonely house.
Mo Qingcheng slowly stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring at every corner of the courtyard, and the familiar feeling surged into her heart like a tide.
Her cold and indifferent face was like the calm surface of a lake, without any ripples of emotion.
However, this expression, contrasted with the scene before her, made her seem inexplicably lonely and desolate, as if she was isolated from everything around her and formed a silent world of her own.
"It's only been two or three years since I left, but it feels like a lifetime ago..."
Mo Qingcheng muttered softly, then slowly walked into the courtyard.
Her eyes slowly swept across the stone table, and she seemed to appear before her eyes the scene of herself leisurely drinking tea here while Ye An was concentrating on drawing a formation beside her.
Then, she walked to the front of the house and looked into the room. The scene of herself sucking Ye An's blood in the past seemed to be replayed before her eyes.
Then, she shifted her gaze and came to the ancient tree, staring at the thick trunk and the leaves that blocked out the sun for a long time without moving.
She looked for a long time and thought for a long time. Finally, she slowly sat down under the tree as she did before.
It seems like nothing has changed, yet it seems like everything has changed.
Ye An's laughter and noise could no longer be heard in this small courtyard.
There was also no scene of me teasing Ye Anshi at that time.
Mo Qingcheng looked around with her red eyes, and finally just sighed slightly.
Just at this moment, a familiar smell quietly penetrated into her nostrils.
Mo Qingcheng raised her eyes slightly and saw the Dark Night Cat holding a jar of peach wine in its mouth, staggering and stumbling towards her.
"Hmm...? I didn't expect that you would find what he hid."
Mo Qingcheng looked at the peach blossom wine that the dark night cat brought, and a hint of joy instantly appeared in her eyes. Then she reached out and gently took the peach blossom wine from its mouth.
As the only ferocious beast that always stays in the courtyard, the dark night cat usually wanders around when it has nothing to do.
It knew very well where Ye An hid the peach blossom wine. After all, it was the spiritual pet given to Mo Qingcheng by Ye An.
After noticing Mo Qingcheng's depressed mood, he thought of bringing Ye An's things to cheer Mo Qingcheng up.
"Peach Blossom Wine... Peach Blossom Wine... The peach blossom wine makes me intoxicated with the spring scenery, and a wisp of faint fragrance comes into my dream..." Mo Qingcheng muttered softly.
“Just a sip will leave you with endless thoughts, the sweet and mellow flavor will spread.
I wish to borrow three ounces of peach blossom wine to ease some of my earthly pain."
……
As Ye An's voice completed the rest of the poem in his mind, Mo Qingcheng suddenly came back to his senses and looked around anxiously for Ye An's figure.
However, there was no one else except himself and the Dark Night Cat.
At that moment, the feeling of loss once again surged into Mo Qingcheng's heart, and a barely perceptible sadness flashed in her eyes.
The Dark Night Cat didn't understand why Mo Qingcheng suddenly became like this, so it just came to Mo Qingcheng's side silently and rubbed Mo Qingcheng's hand gently with its little head, as if signaling her to drink peach blossom wine.
There was a hint of concern and confusion in its eyes, and it quietly accompanied Mo Qingcheng, as if it wanted to give her some comfort in its own way.
Mo Qingcheng felt the actions of the Dark Night Cat and looked down at it slightly, the sense of loss in her eyes still difficult to dissipate.
She gently stroked the Dark Night Cat's head, then slowly picked up the Peach Blossom Wine and fell into deep thought...
"Master Ruxue, is Master really okay?" Xiaorou and Mo Ruxue stood outside the yard, their eyes quietly fixed on the slightly lonely figure of Mo Qingcheng in the yard.
"I don't know. I've never seen my sister like this. If I had known, I should have taken Ye An away with me. Even though it would cost me a lot, it would also..."
"Ruxue, this is not your fault."
Just as Mo Ruxue was filled with worry and self-blame and was about to continue speaking, Mo Qingcheng's voice suddenly came and interrupted her words.
Mo Ruxue turned her head and looked at her sister worriedly, her eyes full of concern and heartache.
Xiao Rou's face was also full of worry, her brows slightly furrowed, and she stared at Mo Qingcheng's every move in the yard without blinking, fearing that something might happen to her.
The two stood outside the yard, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn, and they were both worried about Mo Qingcheng's condition.
"Come in." Mo Qingcheng's voice sounded calmly, as if without a trace of ripples.
Mo Ruxue and Xiaorou looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes, but they still walked in as they were told.
"How are the leaders of each tribe preparing?" Mo Qingcheng asked slowly, her eyes still fixed on the peach blossom wine in her hand. Her voice was so flat that one couldn't tell her emotions at the moment.
"The leaders of each tribe have already selected outstanding demon warriors, most of whom are at the fusion stage." Mo Ruxue replied quickly.
"Well, let them practice." Mo Qingcheng nodded slightly, his tone still calm.
"Yes, sister...there is one more thing." Mo Ruxue hesitated slightly, but still spoke.
"What's the matter?" Mo Qingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.
"Wangcai and the red panda have both gone to the Tianlin Mountains." Mo Ruxue said.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingcheng slowly turned her head and looked in the direction of the Tianlin Mountains. After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly.
"It doesn't matter. They have their own preparations... You should go to Tianlin Mountains too." Mo Qingcheng said calmly, and then turned his gaze to the dark night cat beside him.
"Xiao Rou, you won't have to go after a year. You will be in charge of the demon clan. During this period of time, Shadow will assist you." Mo Qingcheng looked at Xiao Rou and made solemn arrangements.
"Master, I..."
Xiao Rou wanted to fight for it, but seeing Mo Qingcheng's determined look that would not tolerate rejection, she had to swallow her words back. Her eyes revealed a hint of reluctance and loss.
Perhaps sensing Xiaorou's low mood, Mo Qingcheng slowed down his tone and said, "Xiaorou, you have a heavy responsibility this time. Your master Ruxue and I will lead the elite of the demon clan to go out in full force. The demon clan must be empty inside. If the human race takes the opportunity to invade, we will lose our shelter."
Mo Ruxue also showed a gentle smile, gently rubbed Xiaorou's head and said: "Xiaorou, you don't want us to lose our home in the end, do you?"
Xiaorou looked at her master and Master Ruxue's eyes full of entrustment, and instantly became extremely determined.
"Master, Master Ruxue, don't worry, I will definitely protect our home and wait for your return."
Mo Qingcheng smiled and nodded slightly, and Mo Ruxue also smiled and pinched Xiaorou's face.
"Ruxue, during this period of time, you should take Xiaorou to familiarize yourself with the demon clan's procedures." Mo Qingcheng said to Mo Ruxue.
Mo Ruxue also nodded gently, "Sister, then you..."
"I'm here, working on restoring my strength..."
