After his subordinates left, Huo Xiu stretched his hand forward and made a request to take Yuan Ting to an unmanned yard.
He opened the door and said: "Regarding the marriage, if the Emperor Xian allows His Highness Seven to choose by himself, the Crown Prince is afraid that there will be no chance at all."
Yuan Ting sat down on the stone bench and said calmly: "Why did General Huo say this?"
"His Royal Highness, please forgive me," Huo Xiu apologized, "It's just because His Royal Highness Seven and Demon Zun Situzhao had colluded long ago. Didn't His Royal Highness ever doubt why Situzhao would snatch someone from you at this time?"
The expression on Yuan Ting’s face finally changed. He frowned and said, “If that’s the case, how can Immortal Emperor accept the letter of appointment from Demon Lord? Or, General Huo did not report the matter to Immortal Emperor, but came to me. ?"
"His Royal Highness does not know something, I have already reported to the Emperor Xiandi, but because I can't search for more favorable evidence, the Emperor Xiandi cannot be convicted..."
Huo Xiu felt that the immortal emperor was deliberately sheltering and favoring. As Xi Ning was a candidate for marriage, it would be fine if the immortal emperor could not punish him, but why did he still accept the letter of appointment from Situ Zhao? In his opinion, the immortal emperor doesn't need demon world's favor at all.
However, the immortal emperor was obviously indulging Situ Zhao. The Sky Witch Pearl was still in his hands. Situ Zhao didn't know what other method he would use to deal with him. Huo Xiu didn't dare to act rashly during this period. .
So he decided to come to Yuan Ting and try to cooperate with him.
Yuan Ting is not easy to fool, he looked at Huo Xiu: "Since you have no evidence, why should I listen to your side words? What is the purpose of you telling me this today, want me to help you deal with His Royal Highness Seven or Demon Lord?"
Huo Xiu secretly said that it was not good, because he was too impatient, but he had come, so he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking. .
He immediately bowed and bowed to the original court, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness forgive the sins, what Huo said is true, what good is it to deal with His Highness the Seventh or the Demon Venerable Yu Huo? As for the evidence, Huo is really ashamed of his lack of ability. , But I believe that His Royal Highness can see the awkwardness between the two."
Yuan Ting fell silent, recalling the abnormal situation in Xi Ning's bedroom just now.
Huo Xiu said again: "Situ has a lot of tricks. His Royal Highness Seven is still young and inexperienced in the world, and most of them are deceived by him. Since His Royal Highness has personally proposed marriage, how can he let the Demon Clan steal someone... If His Royal Highness has any instructions , Huo did not hesitate."
It is impossible to say how much Yuan Ting likes Xi Ning, but the marriage is about to become a reality, and he naturally wants to choose the one he is most satisfied with. Xi Ning is that candidate.
Unexpectedly, when Situ Zhao came out halfway, Yuan Ting felt weird, but now hearing Huo Xiu's words, he feels even more annoyed.
He gave the letter of appointment, and would never change another candidate halfway, but he didn't want to get involved with Huo Xiu. This person had said everything. Only if his true purpose was not mentioned, Yuan Ting would not believe him. Nothing else.
In the end Yuan Ting stood up and prepared to go back: "I know all about it, thank you General Huo for your kindness."
He didn't say anything else, nor refused directly, so he left.
Huo Xiu was not surprised. Seeing Yuan Ting's subsequent reaction, he must have listened to what he said, and it wouldn't hurt to give him some more time to think about it.
He also quietly returned to the bedroom, and there was a subordinate who pretended to be him waiting in the house. After seeing him return, the two exchanged clothes, and the subordinate left his room.
In the past few days, as long as Huo Xiu wanted to see anyone, he went there quietly just to be on the safe side, so that Situ Zhao would not find any clues.
After confirming that there was no one around, he took out a small box tightly protected with several layers of formations from the storage ring, untied the layers of shackles, took out the Sky Witch Orb inside, and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.
Huo Xiu's eyes were obsessed, he stroked the faintly glowing beads, and muttered to himself that he didn't know what he was talking about.
After a while, he suddenly threw the bead in his hand again, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Huo Xiu's face was uncertain and mixed with a hint of pain. A subordinate outside the door heard movement and knocked on the door: "General?"
He then resumed as usual, got up, picked up the beads and took them again: "Nothing."
Later, Xi Ning received a long-lost mission reminder, but only half of it.
[The probability of character collapse increases by 50%, please...]
The following line flashed for a long time and didn't come out. Xi Ning asked the system blankly: "What's the matter?"
The system was even more at a loss: "I don't know, it looks like what happened to Huo Xiu? But there is no other action command and no punishment. The host doesn't need to worry, it should only be a prompt for the character's collapse value."
Situ Zhao was tying his belt, Xi Ning grabbed his hand: "Huo Xiu seems to have been quiet recently, did you find the bead?"
He suddenly mentioned Huo Xiu, and Situ Zhao looked down and arranged his collar: "Why suddenly remembered him, the beads have not been found yet, Huo Xiu doesn't know where to hide it, I have people staring at it day and night."
"With me, don't worry about him."
Situ Zhao also asked him not to worry, but the probability of Huo Xiu's character collapse has risen by 50%...
Not only did he have to stop him from falling apart, he couldn't let him die now.
"When you get the beads back, will you kill him directly?"
Situ Zhao was lowering his head and gently biting on the half of Xi Ning's collarbone. He raised his head and was quiet for a moment: "It's up to him."
It is not difficult to kill him, but if Huo Xiu wakes up and hand over the beads, and then see if the Immortal Emperor will intercede for him, it is not impossible to save him.
Xi Ning didn’t let him kill Huo Xiu before, saying that he was worried that he would not be able to protect himself, and would also provoke an incident between the Immortal Palace and the Demon Realm. Now it’s different. He entered the Immortal Palace with the permission of the Emperor to search. The Sky Witch Pearl had a legitimate reason to kill Huo Xiu.
Situ Zhao suddenly pressed Xi Ning on the couch, holding his hand to prevent him from moving: "What else are you hiding from me?"
Xi Ning struggled to no avail, and said innocently, "I didn't."
"Really?" The tied belt was torn apart again, Situ Zhao reached out his hand again, "What did I tell you a few days ago? If I found out that you lied to me..."
Xi Ning is not afraid. He is not concerned about Huo Xiu for any other reason. He feels the comfort and satisfaction from his skin, and puts his boss Situ Zhao around the neck: "No, you can't bear it."
Situ Zhao gave him a heavy breath, in a dangerous tone: "You are right, I really don't want to kill you, but I will cry you so that you only know..."
Xi Ning couldn't stand him talking like this, and pushed him hard to get up: "Shut up!"
Situ Zhao stopped talking, and calmly came over to tidy up his clothes, as if he hadn't said anything just now.
He was not like this when he was in the last world. Xi Ning did all the intimate things with this person. He had never experienced it in more depth. Thinking of it, he was always afraid of the unknown. Xi Ning said:" You are not allowed to do anything to me before getting married."
Situ Lighting said nothing of what he meant, and said casually: "Do I look like that kind of person?"
Xi Ning couldn't hold back: "Like."
Situ Zhao smiled without refuting his lips. He did a little too much today because he saw Yuan Ting ate a little jealousy at Xi Ning's place, and knowing that Xi Ning was looking forward to and enjoying his touch, it was even more difficult to hold on to himself.
"When I get back the beads and solve the monster clan, I will marry you back."
As Situ Zhao said, Xi Ning thought to himself that as long as he successfully completes the task, he should be able to stay in this world for a while, at least not as hurriedly as the previous world.
Recalling the panic when he moved the world back, Xi Ning is no longer uncomfortable. Fortunately, Song Zhou came with him. According to this speculation, Song Zhou will also go to the next few worlds with him.
His identity was a mystery, and the system couldn't find it out, but Xi Ning remembered that when he had just crossed, the description of his illness that could be relieved had only appeared later.
Xi Ning intuitively felt that this was related to Song Zhou, and part of his memory was still missing, so he could not draw any other conclusions for the time being.
But as long as he knows that the person in front of him is real and will not leave him, that is enough.
As for the other reasons, maybe he can get the answer after he finishes all the tasks and returns.
Since Yuan Ting came to find Xi Ning, Situ Zhao didn't sneak in secretly, but walked directly through the gate to let people inform Xi Ning.
He had brought people to search before, and most of the servants in Xi Ning Palace had a far less impression of Situ Zhao than the original court, and they were somewhat afraid of him.
When the servant led him in, he met Xi Ning who was coming here halfway.
Xi Ning was very pleasantly surprised: "Really you?"
He dismissed the others, and took Situ Zhao into him: "How did you know the report today?"
"I came to see my future wife, why should I sneak up on it?" Situ Zhao looked straight, as if he was not the one who turned the window and entered the palace before, "Besides, that bald bird can come, why can't I come?"
Xi Ning stopped and said, "Don't call others that way, it's not funny."
Situ Zhao snorted: "If he dares to come again, I will call in his face."
He talked about it, but didn't mention the original court.
After Situ Zhao returned to the Immortal Palace, the two rarely get along like this. They sat in the pavilion in the courtyard for a while. Uncle Rong prepared some fruit cakes and the like to serve, and also poured tea for Situ Zhao.
To say that Xi Ning knows his identity in the first year, only Uncle Rong. Situ Zhao took a sip from his teacup: "Uncle Rong has been bothered during this time."
Uncle Rong said gently: "Where the Demon Venerable said this, it should be done."
He put down the teapot and left, leaving Xi Ning and the two to spend time alone. Situ Zhao said, "He treats you well. If he wants to, he can go to the Demon Realm with you in the future."
"Don't I go to the Demon Realm, I won't come back?" Xi Ning picked up a piece of cut fruit and handed it to Situ Zhao's lips, "You can stay in the fairy palace."
Situ Zhao ate the fruit and stretched out his arms to hug Xi Ning: "No, you must follow me back to the demon world."
Xi Ning opened his mouth, and a servant hurriedly came to this side. He got up and sat back in his seat.
The servant came to inform him, and he bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness, the Prince of the Demon Race is here, waiting outside the hall."
Xi Ning subconsciously looked at Situ Zhao and hesitated: "Just say that I am unwell today..."
"No, let him come." Situ Zhao interrupted him, very calm, "It just happens that the deity has something to look for him."
The servant looked up embarrassed, Xi Ning had to say: "Then let him in."
He quietly pulled Situ Zhao's sleeve: "What can you do to find him?"
Situ Zhao didn't answer, and held Xi Ning's fingertips with his backhand. Seeing Yuan Ting had already arrived, he got closer and closer. He still didn't let go.
Xi Ning was a little anxious, and kicked Situ Zhao before he let go.
However, the pillar under the stone table only blocked the hands of the two of them, and Yuan Ting caught the eye when Xi Ning kicked Situ Zhao.
He calmly walked into the pavilion and was surprised: "The Demon Lord is also here? What a coincidence."
"Unfortunately, if there is no accident, you will see the deity anytime you come," Situ smiled, "but if your Royal Highness doesn't matter, it's better not to come often."
Yuan Ting’s complexion froze for a moment, and quickly recovered as usual, and sat down on the other side of the stone table: “I really don’t have anything important, but I want to come and see Xiao Qi. Last time I felt that Xiao Qi seemed to be single in the fairy palace. One person, there are no suitable peers around, and no friends. I am almost the same as I was in my seventh year..."
Situ Zhao's face suddenly sank. Yuan Ting was suggesting that he was much older than Xi Ning and that he was the "appropriate person of the same age".
Xi Ning was very embarrassed to be caught between the two of them. At this time, the system said: "Host, the monster that came with Yuan Ting seems to be Huo Xiu's future wife."
