Chapter 4
Chapter 4
You Miao doesn't know much about who You Ning's biological parents are, but because he is the emperor of the clan, he can feel the power of the blood emanating from the little cub, which indeed belongs to the Xuan Snake lineage.
The cub's mother is a human race, which means that his biological father must be a member of their race.
It's just that it's not known who it is.
When You Miao handed the little boy to the maid, she casually asked, "Has Qingtan come back?"
The maid's eyes turned on Xing Ji, she was no stranger to this man, she used to often come to see the Demon Emperor, the two had a good relationship, and heard from other sisters in the clan that he was a protoss.
It's just that it suddenly stopped coming a few years ago, as if it disappeared.
She hugged You Ning cautiously, lowered her head and replied: "Lord Qingtan hasn't come back yet, so someone has already been sent to look for it."
"Okay, go down, the little boy was frightened a little today, please put him to sleep."
"Yes."
After the maid left, Xing Ji withdrew his gaze from looking around the room, "What's wrong with Qingtan?"
He used to be a frequent visitor of the Black Snake tribe, and some of You Miao's tribe knew of his existence, but because You Miao didn't say anything, even though those people were curious, they didn't take the initiative to ask about his identity.
But they are not fools to be able to take on important responsibilities in the Xuan Snake lineage. When they notice that there is an elusive man beside Xuan Huang, they can always find a way to satisfy their curiosity.
Qingtan is one of the best.
His method was more straightforward. When Xing Ji appeared in the Xuan Snake tribe again, he blocked him.
Originally, he wanted to ask about his identity and his relationship with You Miao, but he was used to being domineering in the clan, and he had a bad habit of not being able to speak well, causing trouble with just opening his mouth.
He took Xing Ji as a little goblin who wanted to cling to the demon emperor, and said he wanted to teach him the rules, but Xing Ji beat him on the head.
The attack was so ruthless that Qingtan felt apprehensive when she saw him after that.
But Xing Ji is different, he has always felt that he and Qingtan are not acquainted with each other.In addition, Qingtan is the first person among You Miao's many clansmen to talk to him, so he very consciously regards him as his friend.
Thinking that the two hadn't seen each other for ten years, Xing Ji felt that it was inappropriate not to say hello to Qing Tan when he came.
You Miao unbuttoned the robe on his body, and a tree vine stretched out from the window in a twisted twist, hooked the clothes in his hand, and quickly retracted, "Maybe you are afraid of hiding?"
He went to the desk and sat down, resting his chin on his left hand and holding a writing brush in his right hand. Looking at the white paper in front of him, he pondered for a while before starting to write.
"Hiding?" Xing Ji was puzzled, why did Qing Tan hide, could it be that he made some mistake?
"He secretly took the little boy out to play, and then forgot to bring him back. I have decided to kill him."
When You Miao said this, his expression was serious and serious, but Xing Ji knew that this was the normal state of the two of them getting along for many years, so he smiled helplessly and didn't take it seriously. attracted.
From his perspective, he could only see You Miao's forehead hair brushed on the paper, and his perennially pale and bloodless side face.
"what are you writing?"
"Draw something."
Hearing this, Xing Ji's gaze flicked across You Miao's smooth and clean back neck, "What are you drawing?"
He had never heard that You Miao could paint, so he poked his head out of curiosity.
You Miao raised his head, as if he was still immersed in some kind of thoughts and didn't come back to his senses. Thinking of the key point, he took the pen of the brush and touched his lips, then hung his wrist lightly, leaving ink marks on the white paper.
He explained: "I was reminiscing about the night I met the little boy, and I wanted to draw the girl's appearance, so that it would be easier for you to find."
Xing Ji's heart moved when he heard the words, he felt that You Miao was thinking of him, and wanted to reduce his burden of finding someone, "Just tell me the characteristics of that girl, it doesn't have to be so hard."
"It's true", You Miao stared at the semi-finished book on the desk, the ink was crowded in the outline of the oval, palm-sized face, if he didn't say it, no one would think that this is a pretty girl.
He had already sketched out everything in his mind before he wrote the pen, but every time he wrote it, he would suddenly realize that he couldn't draw in the first place.
Picking up the ink-stained white paper and rolling it up in the palm of your hand, You Miao threw it into the wastebasket next to the desk, "Let me tell you, remember it. It was raining at the time, and I was practicing in the cave. Then suddenly a girl came in, she had long hair and was dressed in white..."
You Miao generally doesn't practice in clan lands. He has many caves outside. He either discovered those places by accident, or he traded them from the original owner or snatched them from the original owner after he took a fancy to them.
And he has a habit, every time after the breakthrough, he will change the place and destroy the original cave.
The reason was that he was about to shed his skin when he broke through, and the snake slough left behind was the thing that disgusted him the most.
What's the use of keeping something that he himself would hate?It's better to destroy it.
It's just that considering what that person taught him before, "the body and the skin are the parents", so after destroying the snake sloughs, he smashed the cave, which can be regarded as giving them a resting place.
Xing Ji didn't know You Miao's previous experience, when they met, both of them were already grown children.But he is very clear about You Miao's preference for robbing caves everywhere, after all, God of War has also gone with him before, standing by the side and playing the role of a thug.
"You said you were the girl you met in Heijing Valley?"
You Miao nodded, "Yes, there were still people chasing her at the time, I didn't go out to see, so I don't know who those people are."
Recalling the scene at that time, You Miao suddenly thought that besides the sound of rain, he seemed to hear the sound of metal colliding, like the sound of someone wearing armor walking around.
"armor?"
Xing Ji stroked his chin and pondered, "The closest human settlement to Heijing Valley is Lianshan City. The lord of Lianshan City loves soldiers like sons. He has countless elite soldiers, most of whom are brave and good at fighting. In order to highlight the aura of soldiers, I like to collect all kinds of refined iron to make armor and weapons. If what you hear is really the sound of armor, that girl should have something to do with the city lord."
After all, how can ordinary people call on the people of the City Lord's Mansion at will?
"City Lord..." You Miao lowered her head and muttered to herself. After a while, she suddenly raised her head to look at Xing Ji, "Are you going to Lianshan City to investigate?"
Xing Ji took the brush in his hand and rinsed it in the brush washer. The black ink boiled in the clear water and soon disappeared.
Putting the pen on the pen holder, Xing Ji touched You Miao's sleeve when he retracted his hand.He paused for a moment, looked up at You Miao, and found that the young man still had the same expression just now, as if he had been waiting for him to speak out because he didn't get the answer.
The delicate face that is only an arm's length away from him is full of evil spirits, perhaps due to the influence of the original body being a snake demon. Although the young man's facial features are clean and upright, when combined together, there is an inexplicable sense of desire/desire smell.
Xing Ji looked at it and was lost in thought.
You Miao's eyelashes are not long, but thick, like a fan made of peacock's tail, with mysterious light spots flickering at the end.His pupils seem to have a magical power that can confuse people's minds. After looking at them for a long time, they will turn into a vortex, sucking people in and making them unconsciously addicted to it.
You Miao soon found that Xing Ji was distracted, and he was getting closer and closer to him.Seeing that their faces were about to touch each other, he frowned, and stretched out his hand to cover the big face that was already in front of his eyes, "What are you doing?"
Xing Ji woke up suddenly when he heard the voice in his ear, he felt the temperature of You Miao's palm, his face became hot, "It's nothing."
When he took You Miao's hand off his face, he rubbed his palm with his lips inadvertently, then lowered his head to peek at the young man's reaction.
You Miao felt the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart, but before he could analyze what that feeling was, his hands were thinking ahead of his head, and he couldn't hold back Xing Ji's thoughts. Wipe on clothes.
"Don't wipe the drool with my hand."
Xing Ji: "..."
He took advantage of the situation and pulled You Miao up from the desk, "I'll go to Lianshan City, you go with me."
You Miao refused very simply: "I won't go."
"I don't want you to do anything, just stay by my side."
"That's not going either."
"..." Xing Ji sighed, turned around slowly, and made a gesture to leave.
You Miao glanced at him: "Where are you going?"
"Looking for someone." Xing Ji raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the upper heaven, with a sad expression on his face: "I have received a mission to go to the lower realm, and I happen to be going to Lianshan City. The seal of Senqiu Ancient Land is about to be broken, and I will be able to come and go freely at that time , it’s not just big monsters like you, those monsters that rely on blood for a living and have not developed their spiritual intelligence once they are not restrained, it is easy to cause conflicts between the monster race and the human race.”
Everything is born in heaven and earth, where there is yang, there will be yin.There are very few gods born in ancient times, and the human race that has been in a disadvantaged position in the distant past has gradually risen, and can even advance to a new god through acquired practice. This is called the replacement of the old and the new, and the ebb and flow.
But rebirth seems to be a word full of hope, but after all, it is a new sprout in the process of death, and the process of watering with blood is indispensable.
The rise of the human race, the decline of the god race, and the restraint of the monster race... What followed was a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Senqiu ancient land came into being at this time. It imprisoned the monster race here with a seal, opened once a thousand years, not only to protect the human race, but also to maintain the continuation of the monster race.
On the one hand, there are too many human races becoming gods, and in the long run, the situation is not good for the monster race.
Although the Yaozu can also ascend to the god position by virtue of the aura of heaven and earth, it is much more difficult in comparison.Don't you see that since ancient times, there is only Zhulong who has become a god with a demon body.
On the other hand, among the human race, ordinary people who are powerless still occupy the majority. Once the monster race breaks away from the seal, it will be difficult for the human race to resist.
The ancient land of Senqiu is of great significance. The seal opened once a thousand years will not have any effect on the powerful big monsters. It is mainly aimed at those monsters whose spiritual intelligence has not yet been developed, and it also protects those ordinary people who are still in a disadvantaged position. Terran.
Between the two, because of the different races, the natural gap is a gap that is difficult to cross. Only with the help of external forces can it be brought into a certain state of balance.
"..."
You Miao didn't speak anymore, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Xing Ji took a peek at him, and continued while the iron was hot: "But it's okay, the matter of Senqiu can't be solved in a short while, and it's not difficult to find someone. I will take less time to rest and spend more time in the city when I am performing tasks. If you walk around, you can always find clues."
You Miao looked up at him: "I'll go with you."
Xing Ji raised the corner of his mouth, showing a triumphant smile: "Okay."
