His human posture shocked Xia Qiu, because that was exactly the figure that had just appeared in her mind, the red ornament on the head, the snow-white skin that blurred the outline of the facial features, and the darkness as deep as the lake in the night. His eyes, his slightly sickly face and lips, and the thick white robe on his slender body were all exactly the same as what he had just seen.
And those eyes stayed on her body for a long time before her body landed. She couldn't see the emotion in his eyes. Was it anger because of her peeping? Is it a question, because you know you can see him? Or is it curiosity because he is a rare human being? She couldn't guess what he was thinking, she just felt that he looked a little unreal, and his calm but cold temperament was indeed somewhat similar to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"The descendant of the Demon King Fox, the son of the Amber Dragon King, the Red-haired Fox Marquis... I really have a lot of rare guests here today." He spoke in a weak but magnetic male voice. While speaking, his eyes slowly passed over the few people he mentioned, without being alarmed or impatient.
"Feather Crane Immortal." Ouyang Hongye bowed his head gently and saluted him, and was surprised that he could tell their identities so easily.
"Why did you come all the way to a rural place like my Xianhequan Township?" Immortal Yuhe asked, still in a calm tone, and his soft voice was cold, as if it was frozen. flowers.
"In the Chenji Palace, the seals of the four divine pillars were destroyed, causing the magical power of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Suzaku Xuanwu contained within to leak out. Now it is only up to the two elders to temporarily hold back the released divine power with their demonic power. If the divine power is exhausted, the pillars will If it collapses, the demon world may face destruction, so we urgently need the heavenly talisman on this eternal island to save the demon world." Ouyang Xiaoleng responded, neither humble nor overbearing.
"The demon world is under your control, Demon King Fox. I have not cared about worldly affairs for a long time. I only live in seclusion in the quietest border of the demon world and enjoy my own leisure. I don't ask for anything, but I don't want to have anything to do with anyone. The heavenly talisman is secretly with me. Inseparable, forgive me for not dedicating it to help you!" Immortal Yuhe turned to Xiao Leng and said.
"The demon world is facing an unprecedented disaster, please make an exception to help us!" Ouyang Xiaoleng continued to plead.
Compared to Demon King Yanluo who was secretive about the earth talisman at the beginning, Immortal Yuhe admitted it openly, which made him feel that he should be an upright person, and he had more hope in his heart.
"It has always been because of the existence of the Heavenly Talisman that my Changsheng Island has life. The four seasons are like spring, and the flowers bloom undefeated. If the Heavenly Talisman is given to you, it will definitely have an impact on my Changsheng Island. Besides, this demon world has already been destroyed. There is no hope at all. If it is really going to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. I would rather let my Eternal Life Island exist for a while longer." Yuhe Sage said these words without any emotion.
"I still beg you!" Ouyang Hongye also said sincerely.
"You've said it so straightforwardly, why are you talking nonsense to him? Let's capture him first."
Feng Huo, who had already been unable to hold himself back, roared, summoned two big axes in his hands and rushed forward. He found that his body was not as strong as usual here, and the demonic power could not be released at all. He thought that with his own kung fu and strength, even if he could not use the demonic power, it would not be a problem to defeat the feminine pretty boy in front of him, but who could Zhi Yuhe Immortal easily dodged his attack, his movements were light and agile, so fast that even if he used his demon power, he might not be able to keep up. Then Yu He Immortal shook out a long dagger from his sleeve and jumped gracefully. Go behind him and press it against the back of his heart.
"Fenghuo, your bad temper has flared up again!"
Ouyang Hongye stepped forward to hold Feng Huo, and then gently lifted the dagger held by Yuhe Immortal with his hand.
He found out that the Yuhe Sage didn't actually use much strength, so he felt relieved. According to the posture just now, they who couldn't use their demonic power were no match for him. He pulled Feng Huo aside and hurriedly apologized to Yuhe Immortal, "Feng Huo was also anxious about the fate of the demon world. Please don't argue with him."
"I'm not angry. I've known the leopard demon's temper for a long time, but you must know that you are no match for me in Xianhequan Township. Unless I willingly dedicate the heavenly talisman to you, you will never get it. Immortal Yu He put away the long dagger in his hand and said to Ouyang Hongye with a sideways glance, "Okay, how about we make a deal?"
Ouyang Hongye heard a glimmer of hope in Yuhe Immortal's words and nodded quickly, "Please tell me!"
"You also know that everything on Changsheng Island is everything to me, and the Sky Talisman is the most important thing on Changsheng Island. If I give the Sky Talisman to you, then you should naturally give me something else as compensation, such as... "Yuhe Immortal paused.
"Like what?" Ouyang Hongye asked. In his impression, Yuhe Immortal was not a greedy person.
Yuhe Immortal walked up to Xia Qiu, put a hand on her shoulder, and said: "For example, this human girl who made a contract with the Demon King Fox is rare for humans in the entire demon world, not to mention in Xianhequan Township. , if you are willing to keep her as my companion, I will hand over the Heavenly Talisman to you!"
Yuhe Immortal's request made everyone feel astonished. No one could understand why this seemingly otherworldly fairy would be so interested in a human girl. Only Xia Qiu knew clearly that it must be because of her love for him just now. The peeking annoyed him.
"How is this possible? How can we leave Xia Qiu here with you?" After hearing this strange request from Immortal Yu He, Qian Qi, who had been silent all the time, couldn't hold it anymore.
"I'm sorry, can I exchange it for something else?" Ouyang Xiaoleng also couldn't accept the exchange of Xia Qiu as a talisman.
Because of their opposition, Xia Qiu, who was a little timid about Yuhe Immortal's request, was relieved, especially Ouyang Xiaoleng. For him, the survival of the demon world was an important and urgent matter, but he was unwilling to exchange it with himself. Heavenly Talisman. In fact, she knew in her heart that even Ouyang Hongye and Wangyue would not easily let her make an exchange. If she stayed here, she might never have the chance to return to the royal city of Yongchuan, let alone her own world. The Yuhe Immortal in front of her was a complete stranger to her, and his cold and elusive temperament made her somewhat frightened. For a moment, she thought: I must not stay here alone, I must not!
But the thought passed away in an instant, and soon she began to blame herself for her selfishness. Even if others don't know the thoughts that just passed through her heart, the destruction of the demon world means that the world belonging to Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others will no longer exist, which means that all life here will disappear, and she can stop it just by staying on Changsheng Island. With all this happening, how could he run away because of his own fear
"If you are unwilling to keep her, then please take her back instead of sending her away!" Yuhe Immortal said while waving his sleeves.
"I want to stay!"
Xia Qiu's words caught everyone even more off guard than Yu Hexianren's sudden request just now.
"You don't have to stay, there must be other ways." Qian Qi took Xia Qiu's sleeve and shook it, wondering if she was not clear-headed enough for a moment.
"I am willing to stay. This is my own decision." Xia Qiu repeated it again, broke free from the sleeves held by Qian Qi, turned around and said to the others, "He just asked me to stay, he didn't mean to harm me. If this can be exchanged for a heavenly talisman to save the demon world from danger, wouldn’t it be great for us? I will definitely be able to go back!”
She looked around at her friends, whose faces were all full of hesitation. When her eyes met Ouyang Xiaoleng, she couldn't guess what he was thinking. He just stared at her deeply, as if he wanted to Put it in your own eyes.
At this time, Immortal Yu He stretched out his hand to hold her, his movements were light and graceful, and then said to the others: "Since she also chose to stay, it seems that I must make this deal with you as promised. You can rest assured. I won’t let her stay here forever, I just need her to stay with me until the day I can fully adapt to Changsheng Island without the Tianfu. I will send the crane to bring the Tianfu to you later. Let’s go. !”
Before Ouyang Hongye and the others could say anything else, huge white wings sprouted from behind Yuhe Immortal. He held Xia Qiu and waved the wings behind him vigorously before flying into the air. Xia Qiu's eyes still stayed on Ouyang Xiaoleng, and she forced out a smile as a farewell.
At this moment, she didn't want to say anything more, because she knew that as long as she said a word, she would shed tears. Since it was her own choice, she must be firm. Her vision was gradually blurred by the white mist, and she could no longer see Ouyang Xiao clearly. What kind of expression is there on the cold relief-like face. She thought that although he was silent, he would be sad, but he would eventually accept her departure, because he had a deeper responsibility than others and a long-cherished wish that must be fulfilled.
She flew higher and higher with the Feather Crane Immortal, and vaguely saw the scene in the lake from the air. Through the layers of water mist, it turned out that as Ouyang Hongye said, there were abnormally huge fish in the water. Their bodies had brown bone patterns. From time to time, his back would appear out of the water, and a slight swing would cause huge waves in the water. One of the cranes that had previously guarded their retreat also followed her and Immortal Yu He, flying together to the Changsheng Island, which looked like an emerald embedded in the lake from a distance.
Immortal Feather Crane led her to the green center of the island and led her into his residence, which was a pure white stone pavilion and the only building on the island. The stone pavilion is surrounded by exotic flowers and plants on the island. Butterflies and birds are not afraid of people. They fly through it from time to time, or land on the railings, or on the shoulders, palms or even the top of the head of the Feather Crane Immortal. For some reason, Xia Qiu found his expression of carefully holding the bird on his head a bit cute.
"Every flower, every tree, every insect and every bird on this island is a part of my life, and they are connected with my soul." Yu Hexian said, his voice was not as cold as before, but a little more gentle.
"Listening to what you just said, the life here seems to be somehow related to the Sky Talisman? If the Sky Talisman is given to my companions to take away, will there be any changes here?"
After seeing the fairyland-like dreamy scene on Changsheng Island, Xia Qiu understood why Yuhe Immortal had said such words before, because everyone would cherish such beautiful scenery.
"Actually, what I need to maintain my life is my own life. You may have noticed it, right? I am gradually getting weaker. Without the Sky Talisman, I and everything on this island will probably dry up at any time. But I have lived long enough. Well, it’s rare for someone to come and keep me company, so just think of it as using this shortened life to exchange for the time of being with someone." There was a hint of unnoticeable loneliness in Yuhe Immortal's words.
