About one hundred and fifty years ago, Yongchuan, the royal city of the demon world, ushered in another prosperous period under the governance of Ouyang Xueye, the second-generation demon king fox. Everyone gradually recovered from the pain of the death of the first demon king Hu Li, although this process took more than two hundred years.
Every night, the shopping street really becomes lively. Shopkeepers hung paper lanterns of various colors on both sides of the road, letting them spread dreamy colors wantonly. On both sides of the street, on one side are flexible temporary stalls, specializing in strange and weird gadgets, and on the other side are quite old stalls. Exquisite little shop.
When the lanterns come on, local monsters and monsters who come to the royal city for various reasons will flood into this street. They are crowded together in an endless stream. Some look similar to humans, while others still retain the characteristics of animals. Wearing a mask, there is an inexplicable sense of mystery.
On this day, it was almost midnight, and the streets were still noisy. But suddenly, the cries of vendors soliciting business and the chatter of walking monsters seemed to suddenly become silent, and the originally blocked streets also became quiet. Then a gap was made.
In the gap, three young men came gracefully, but judging from their appearance and clothes, they could be guessed that they were of distinguished status. The three people attracted almost all the attention of pedestrians and vendors on both sides, and everyone discussed the origins of these three people.
The man in the middle is dressed in white, with his long black hair meticulously combed into a bun on the top of his head. The tailoring and accessories of his clothes are the most exquisite. His pair of gray-blue eyes are as deep as the night sky, as if he can see into people's hearts. Although the man is beautiful, his temperament But he is a little aloof and aloof, as hard to approach as a king.
The man in red on his right looked much more casual. He only used a ribbon to tie up a strand of his hair casually and put it on his chest. He seemed to be smiling at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. When he walked, his posture was as graceful as the wind. Just by looking at the fluttering leaves, you can tell that they must be romantic by nature.
The man in green on the left holding the fan has a gentle and jade-like temperament. He has fair cheeks and delicate features. His hair is braided three times from the top of his ears. His expression is calm and peaceful, which perfectly combines the aloofness and frivolity of the other two people. .
"Xue Ye, are we too ostentatious? Look, the people on the street are only looking at the three of us!" Ouyang Hongye, who was wearing red, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, with a bit of pride. complained.
"I don't know who is the one who refuses to drink even though there is so much wine stored in the palace. He insists on dragging me and Ting Yue to the tavern on the street to listen to some songs. The key is that I want to treat him!" Ouyang Xueye's body The white clothes were spotless, and even though he was joking, his face remained calm.
"We've drank the wine we should drink, and invited the people we should drink with. It's time for us to go back." Tingyue closed the fan in her hand and glanced at the monsters standing next to her, causing a burst of excitement. scream.
"Look, he is the most popular person!" Ouyang Hongye pointed at Tingyue and shook his head.
"That's not because one of you is deliberately pretending to be superior, and the other is deliberately pretending to be cynical." Tingyue retorted.
"I found that after drinking, Ting Yue's ability to tease people has improved. It's hard to hear him say more than usual." Ouyang Xueye almost couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, Tingyue drank too much today, don't delay your schedule tomorrow." Ouyang Hongye said immediately.
"Do you think I'm you?!"
Ting Yue's words caused a burst of hearty laughter between them. Even Ouyang Xueye couldn't hold it any longer. In fact, he was also a very cheerful and casual person in private, but he was the lord of the demon world. I have to try my best to look serious in front of everyone.
Today's wine party was actually prepared by him and Ouyang Hongye for Tingyue's practice. Tingyue planned to set off alone the next day to visit various places in the demon world. In addition, it was also to confirm the rumors that Qingyun and his men had started taking action in various places again. He separated from the other two people in front of Wutong House, opened the door of the courtyard and walked in. Just then, a gust of wind blew in his face, making his drunkenness stronger and causing his whole body to sway twice.
Mochizuki was sitting alone on the swing in the yard. When she saw him coming back, she went up to him and called, "Brother!"
"Wangyue!" Tingyue responded to him with a smile. She leaned on him and hooked an arm around his neck.
"How much have you drunk? You smell like alcohol!" Mochizuki asked with a bit of disdain.
"Not much. Big brother is happy today. As the saying goes, a thousand cups is too little to drink with a close friend! I will leave the city early tomorrow morning and travel to various places in the demon world. If you are bored alone, go to the palace to find Xue Ye and Hongye." Tingyue responded with a smile.
"I can't get along with them, so I might as well go find the old man."
"Only you dare to call Elder Yong that way."
"You have to be careful when you are out alone, brother!" Wang Yue did not forget to warn her.
Tingyue patted his shoulder happily, thinking that not only did he have a good brother, but he also had two close friends. How lucky he was. What other extravagant wishes could he have
On his trip this time, he planned to take a detour to the Land of Fubuki. The Land of Fubuki was where snow girls had lived for generations, and he had some friendship with Xue Chen, the most prestigious of the snow girls, and could be considered a half-friend. She has a unique skill, which is that she can use the wind blowing into the mountain to listen to the news outside, so maybe she can help them find traces of Qingyun.
Snow has fallen all year round in the mountain where the snow girls have lived for generations. It was their paradise. Because of the barrier created by the ice spell, only a few people except the snow girls can enter it. They spend almost all their lives in the land of blowing snow, but because snow girls can only give birth to females, some of them occasionally go to other places to find men for reproduction.
In Tingyue's eyes, they don't look like monsters, but more like elves born in the snow. They have hair as shiny as ebony wood, and skin as crystal clear as snow, and their lips are like blood dripping on white silk cloth. They always wear colorful clothes and chase each other and play in the land of snow. They are a dazzling scenery in the white snow. Their ageless appearance and charming temperament are more like a legend.
It had been quite a while since Tingyue's last visit. In the past, every time he entered the land of Chuixue, Xuechen would stand in the same position to greet him, wearing her heavy and dignified white dress. Because she could hear the news of his coming from the wind, she would boil a pot of wine for him in advance.
But this time, Tingyue did not see her appear after entering the land of Chuixue. Not only that, he always felt that something was wrong. Perhaps the north wind howling in the mountains was too harsh. The sound of the wind sounded like a woman's cry, which made people feel creepy.
Listening to the moon summons the demon horse and subconsciously changes his weapon. Unlike Wang Yue, he only uses a sickle-shaped scimitar. There were no butterfly-like figures of the snow girls on the snow. Only some rags and accessories torn from their clothes were scattered on the ground, which made him more sure that they either left this place in a hurry because of something, or they had already encountered something. Something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a baby's cry cut through the cold wind. He followed the cry and found a huge snow pit not far away, from which the cry came. He poked his head over and took a look, and was so frightened that he shivered. All the bodies piled up in the snow pit were the bodies of the snow girls. They were squeezed together layer by layer like withered flowers, and Xuechen was also there. among them.
He had to jump down to look for the crying baby. When he turned over the bodies of one snow girl after another, he tried not to look at the ferocious expressions on their faces. Finally, he found the baby girl in the loose clothes of a snow girl. It seemed that from the first sight, he had an indelible feeling for this beautiful and fragile little life like ice and snow.
"Why are there still cries?! Did something slip through the net just now?!"
A hoarse voice came from Tingyue's head, reminding him that someone else had come to the snow pit.
A woman responded: "No way?! Get rid of her quickly, lest Master Qingyun blames her later!"
Hearing them mention Qingyun's name, Tingyue knew that the only way left for him was to escape. Being able to get rid of all such a number of snow girls requires considerable strength. He alone cannot handle this kind of enemy, not to mention that he must ensure the safety of this baby girl.
He picked up the baby with his left hand, then stepped on the bodies of the snow girls and flew out of the snow pit. Facing the two people talking outside the snow pit, he was even more sure that his decision was correct. These two people were the two generals of Qingyun, Yasha and Rakshasa. He tightly protected the baby and flew in the opposite direction to them, but the two people behind him were chasing after him.
"We can't let him escape!" Mother Rakshasa shouted loudly.
"Haha, you want to save the baby girl from under our two hands, but you don't even think about how much you weigh!"
Yasha responded contemptuously, and the end of the staff in his hand immediately formed a rope with a loop on the top, heading towards Ting Yuetao. Tingyue was trapped by it and had to make a sudden turn during the flight.
At this time, the Rakshasa mother also summoned her firearm and released several fireballs at him, but Tingyue Duo passed by, causing her to curse loudly: "He escaped again!"
"Don't worry!"
Yasha showed an ugly smile and flew the shield in one hand towards Tingyue. This flying shield is surrounded by sharp saw teeth and is extremely powerful when rotating. It is a weapon that Tingyue has never dealt with before. Even if it dodges its initial attack route, it will still be chased by it. In addition, holding a baby in his arms also meant that his movements were not as free as before, and he was accidentally cut open by the flying shield on his right arm.
Pain spread throughout half of his body. He gritted his teeth to prevent the knife from falling off, but his flying speed continued to decrease. He thought that if he was completely exhausted and caught up with them, he and the baby would not even have a chance to survive, so he decided to stop dodging and planned to use his unique skills to fight them.
His unique move is called Blind Moon Shadow, which is best used at night. He can use his rapidly changing sword skills to reflect the light of the moon out of the enemy's eyes, causing the opponent to lose his sight briefly and take this opportunity to attack him. Although it was daytime, the light in the snow was similar to the moonlight, so he planned to try boldly. When the other party fell into darkness, he could summon the demon horse and escape with the baby.
