Fu Mingrui stood under the eaves of the Jiumen porch with an umbrella, waiting for the door to open. He knew that Lian Youyou had returned a few days ago, but he happened to have a case on hand and couldn't put it down to see Lian Youyou.
So as soon as the case was settled, he climbed over the wall.
Of course, he did not climb over the wall connecting to the Nine Gates directly like Duanmu Qingchen, because now the backyard was full of constables from the Eight Gates, unlike last time when there were only a few people including Wang Quan. As the leader of the Eight Gates, he still had to save his face when climbing over it in front of so many people.
So he went to the corner, looked around and saw that there was no one around. He climbed over the wall in the rain and landed in the alley in front of the Jiumen Gate, which was much closer.
The door opened by itself without anyone noticing. Behind the rain curtain, there was Lian Youyou, who was sitting leisurely in the hall and pouring tea.
Seeing the white figure sitting peacefully after the rain, Fu Mingrui's troubled heart finally settled down. Although on the big round table, the black cat that always stayed with Lian Youyou lay charmingly.
He walked into the Nine Gates at ease, his steady steps breaking the reflection in the water. His umbrella lifted the rain curtain hanging from the eaves, he put away the umbrella and looked at Lian Youyou: "What on earth happened?"
Lian slowly placed a blue and white teacup on Fu Mingrui's table and poured in some fragrant chrysanthemum tea: "Drink some tea to warm your body." Her words were leisurely and calm, like the spring breeze, blowing away any restlessness in Fu Mingrui's heart.
Whenever, as long as he is with Lian Youyou, Fu Mingrui's heart will become peaceful.
He sat down, looking apologetic and worried: "My father is still in contact with that young master, I'm worried..." Fu Mingrui was filled with deep worry. He was not worried that Lian Youyou would be hurt, but worried that his father and elder brother would be obsessed and be dragged deeper and deeper by that young master Hong.
"Are you worried that I will kill your father and elder brother?" Lian Youyou held the cup and smiled at Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui didn't say anything, but his deep frown had already given his answer.
Lian Youyou quietly looked at his sad face. After a while, she put down the teacup and gently turned the teacup with her fingers. The bright yellow chrysanthemum petals in the teacup also moved with it.
"My arrival has affected the operation of the Qian Dynasty and the fate of many people..."
Heiyan turned his head and stared at Lian Youyou with his blue eyes. Today, Lian Youyou didn't brag, but instead reflected on herself.
Lian Youyou seemed particularly quiet today. The crackling sound of rain outside covered up the faint voice of Lian Youyou.
"At first, my influence on everyone was small, but as I went deeper and deeper, everyone deviated further and further from their own destiny..." Lian looked at the chrysanthemum petals that were becoming increasingly chaotic due to the rotation. She stopped her hand, and the thin petals continued to rotate. "Even if I leave, this influence will still exist for a long time..."
Fu Mingrui was slightly surprised: "You're leaving?!" What surprised him was not that everyone's fate had changed because of Lian Youyou, but the message revealed in Lian Youyou's words that she might be leaving soon.
Lian Youyou supported her face with one hand, squinted her eyes and smiled at Fu Mingrui: "You can't bear to leave me."
Fu Mingrui's fair face suddenly turned red, and his fine, straight hair fluttered slightly in the autumn wind. He lowered his flushed face, clenched his hands on his knees, and wrinkled his robe.
The sound of rain became clear again because Fu Mingrui didn't speak, and the sudden heavy rain covered everything in the hall.
Lian Youyou looked at Fu Mingrui's embarrassed look with a smile, raised her hand, and couldn't help but touch his cute blushing face.
"Meow!" Suddenly, the black cat jumped up on the spot, with its fur standing on end.
Fu Mingrui was slightly startled and looked at Heiyan. Heiyan was glaring at Lian Youyou angrily, looking like he was angry but dared not say anything.
Lian Youyou did not retract her hand, but instead touched the head of Heiyan, whose fur stood on end. Heiyan's blue eyes opened, and he instantly lay back comfortably. Lian Youyou's soft and warm hand slowly stroked his head to the back of his neck and back.
"He was originally the prince of the demon god..." Lian Youyou's words surprised Fu Mingrui. Lian Youyou stroked Hei Yan and smiled at Fu Mingrui, "This demon god is not the so-called demon god in your folk culture. He is the defeated party when the gods fought for power."
Fu Mingrui continued to look at Lian Youyou and Heiyan in surprise. The black cat turned out to be the son of the devil!
Lian Youyou's fingers gently massaged the blue flame pattern on Heiyan's black head: "Just like... when Emperor Cheng's younger brother tried to seize power from him, he failed. Therefore, Heiyan and his men are still gods. We have been fighting with them for many years, and he has also fought against me." Lian Youyou pressed down the blue seal of God, and suddenly, the seal began to burn under her fingertips. Heiyan opened his blue eyes wide in surprise, as if he was in great shock.
"Later, he was captured by the Prince Henggu of the Divine Realm, and his true body was sealed to entertain me..." As Lian Youyou spoke, Heiyan's body began to grow gradually, and an extremely handsome and evil face slowly emerged from the cat's face. The black fur turned into long black hair that hung all over his body, and his fair body began to gradually appear between the black hair!
Fu Mingrui looked at Heiyan's changes in amazement.
He sat down with a gloomy face, and the black robe began to cover his body which was gradually transforming. The vest that Lian Youyou made for him was put on over his black robe. Although it looked out of place, he still wore it.
The divine seal between his eyebrows was wiped away by Lian Youyou, and instead a blue-black flame spurted out from his brows, transforming into a new divine seal that shone between his brows.
Lian Youyou withdrew her hand, still smiling at Fu Mingrui: "So, you don't have to care about their underestimation of you, because their identities are indeed true gods."
"A little Wenquxing dares to dream of becoming a goddess, hum!" After Heiyan regained his true form, he responded to Mingrui's contempt as soon as he opened his mouth. He casually picked up a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. "Youyou came down from the nine heavens, and I broke through the nine-layer boundary wall for her. What can you do for her?!"
Fu Mingrui was stunned by Heiyan's words. Heiyan took a sip of tea and looked at Fu Mingrui with contempt: "One Ziwei Star and one Wenqu Star, you are like flies around Youyou all day long. What the goddess wants is a man who can fight side by side with her, but you." Heiyan pointed the cup at Fu Mingrui's face, "You are like scholars who are powerless. In the God's Domain, you can be trampled to death by a small Taotie! You can't even protect yourselves, how can you talk about protecting Youyou?"
Fu Mingrui was still shocked by Hei Yan's transformation and identity. Lian Youyou was surrounded by true gods, so what was he? Hei Yan was right. If he couldn't even protect himself, how could he be qualified to stand by Lian Youyou's side? Would he be protected by her
He couldn't do it. As a man, no matter if he was a mortal or the Wenquxing they called him, he couldn't let Lian Youyou protect him. (To be continued)
