Bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the black mirror-like liquid, bringing with it a smell of methane. There was silence in the cave. All the ghost servants gathered around the pool filled with stagnant water and anxiously observed the reaction of the mother of Rakshasa with the corner of their eyes. No one dared to act rashly, because doing so would most likely result in being killed in an instant. Burned into black charcoal.
Sitting on the throne, Mother Rakshasa bit her lips fiercely. The plan she thought was foolproof was once again disrupted by the descendants of the Demon King Fox. No matter how many livers were placed in front of her, they could not match that one. For her temptation. Thinking of the liver made her throat become thirsty, and her lips seemed to be about to split. She kept stuffing the liver in front of her into her mouth, but nothing could satisfy her desire.
She needs that human girl. The power contained in the girl's body will become her weight. She will become the most powerful monster around Qingyun. Only in this way can she have the qualification to rule the three realms with him.
After returning from the Demon Realm King's City, Xia Qiu could not calm down her mood for a long time. After all, it was the legendary world that she had longed for since she was a child. She could no longer forget the picture of the purple and white lotus and being held by Ouyang Xiaoleng. The feeling of flying. When I think of his words, do you dare to give yourself to me? Although she already understood that it was just a mistake in his expression, it still made her heart beat uncontrollably.
He and Ouyang Xiaoleng came to Ouyang Ancient House again just after school the next day. As soon as he heard that Xia Qiu had agreed to his invitation to Ouyang Ancient House, Ouyang Hongye couldn't wait to set the time and informed Mochizuki and Dong Muya.
"You will meet two people today. One is Mochizuki. His brother is the prince rabbit demon Tingyue who was once the best friend of my father and Hongye. He also died in the war sixteen years ago. Later, in the human world and the demon world Mochizuki, who has been wandering around for decades, returned to the royal city. In addition to inheriting his brother's title, he also became my supporter as the third generation Demon King Fox. Mochizuki regards Hongye as an elder brother. Although he doesn't seem serious on weekdays, he is very obedient. According to the words of Great Elder Ouyang Yong and Hongye, he is a very reliable person." Ouyang Xiaoleng said to Xia Qiu while walking on the road leading to Ouyang's ancient house from the lost path.
"What about the other one?" Xia Qiu wondered why Ouyang Xiaoleng only introduced one of them and stopped talking.
"The other one is someone you know. He will know it when he sees you." Ouyang Xiaoleng deliberately kept a sense of mystery.
As soon as I entered the door of Ouyang's ancient house, I was hit by the fragrance of flowers. Xia Qiu always felt that stepping into this place was like walking into spring, which made my heart happy. She walked behind Ouyang Xiaoleng, sighing that they had become so familiar without knowing it. They always left school together after school these two days, which must have attracted the attention of the classmates, especially those who said goodbye to Liu Lingmei today. The meaningful words she said at that time.
"Xiaoqiu, I didn't expect that I would fall behind you."
Xia Qiu thought for a long time and still didn't understand what Liu Lingmei meant by this sentence, but she had no time to think about it anymore because when she and Ouyang Xiaoleng walked into the living room, they found that the person sitting on the sofa in front of them was Teacher Dong Muya. . No wonder she left after arranging her self-study in the afternoon. It turned out that she came here, but that was not the problem. The problem was that she had known Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng for a long time.
"Xia Qiu, Xiao Leng, you are back." Dong Muya was typing on his laptop with his head down. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his head.
"Teacher Dong Muya?!" Xia Qiu was sure that she was not hallucinating, but she still couldn't believe it.
"I must have shocked you. Actually, I wanted to tell you earlier, but Hongye said..."
"Ahem..." Ouyang Hongye cleared his throat and interrupted Dong Muya.
"Is this the human girl you are talking about?" A strange man's voice came from the corner.
Xia Qiu looked for the voice, only to realize that she had not noticed his presence at all since she came in. It was a man wearing a purple gown who was lowering his head and playing with the tea cup in his hand.
"Hello." Xia Qiu nodded to the man.
"This is Wang Yue! Even though he has lived for hundreds of years, he still can't change his shyness when seeing strange women!" Ouyang Hongye said with a hint of ridicule.
"No one is better at dealing with women than Hongye." Dong Muya smiled at Xia Qiu, "Come and sit next to me."
After Xia Qiu sat down, he took the tea from Ouyang Hongye and looked at Wangyue in the corner carefully. He is wearing a green robe. He looks about the same age as Ouyang Hongye. He has strong bones, thick eyebrows and round eyes. His pupils are a very special crimson color. There is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He has scissor-like sideburns and long shawl hair carefully braided into countless braids. The braid looks like a samurai from a computer game.
"Mu Ya, how are you preparing? Can we start?" Ouyang Hongye asked after Ouyang Xiaoleng sat down.
Although she had just accepted the fact that Teacher Dong Muya and Ouyang Hongye had known each other for a long time, hearing him call her Mu Ya so affectionately was still a bit beyond Xia Qiu's expectations. She was even more sure that the relationship between them was extraordinary.
"When you're ready, I'll start." Dong Muya pressed the switch on the projector connected to her laptop. The projector projected a structural diagram on the wall. It was a family tree of recent generations of the Ouyang family. Many personal names in the bottom two lines were circled in black boxes. She continued, "Those with black boxes have been circled. Confirmed to be no longer alive or declared missing, and all occurred within six months. Ouyang Xinhua, the 84th generation of the Ouyang family, died in a car accident in Nanjing more than five months ago, and the same person died a month later. Ouyang Xinye, the eighty-fourth generation, died in a drowning accident in Guangzhou. Two months ago, Ouyang Yuzhen and Ouyang Yujin, the eighty-fifth generation, also died of diseases that were easily treatable. Ouyang Yucheng and Ouyang Yucheng died one month ago. My friend went out together and has not returned yet, which is probably a bad thing. At first glance, these accidents and disappearances are classified as accidents and have no connection, but the fact is that the time of occurrence is too coincidental and full of doubts. I feel like someone is killing the descendants of the Ouyang family in a purposeful and planned way."
"You don't have to feel it to know what's going on! During this time, I also got clues from some information dealers in the demon world that I met during my travels in the past. There are various signs that the group of people who once worked for Qingyun have begun to appear again recently. They are so frequent. There must be a mystery behind the appearance of earth in the demon world and even in the human world. However, the two elders and the nobles in the demon world were indifferent to the news, or even turned a deaf ear to it, obviously unwilling to face the fact that Qingyun took action again!" Mochizuki angrily said Said unfairly.
"I told you before that the blood of the Ouyang family is destined to sign a blood alliance with the Demon King Fox. Those people just want to kill them all so as to prevent them from becoming Xiao Leng's blood alliance signatories." Ouyang Hongye explained to Xia Qiu Then he turned to Dong Muya, "Muya, what is the situation of the Ran family that I asked you to investigate?"
"In addition to Xiao Leng's mother Su Su, Ran Tianqi only has a son named Ran Tianyou and a granddaughter named Ran Mingzhu. The Ran family has been exorcists for generations and moved overseas a long time ago. I think Even Qingyun understands that no one in his family will help the demon world except Susu." Dong Muya is very confident in the information he has collected.
"You are wrong. There is another person in their family who will help the demon world, and that is Xiao Leng! Not only is Xiao Leng a descendant of the demon king fox, he also inherited the blood of the demon exterminator from Su Su. This is what he was born with Although I haven't seen the talent yet, Xia Qiu has seen it!" Ouyang Hongye said excitedly.
"I heard that Xiao Leng was able to unravel the Rakshasa mother's bewitching spells just by reading some incantations. It's really not easy!" Dong Muya also cast an approving look.
Xia Qiu didn't pay much attention to their conversation at the moment, and was still thinking about the previous deaths of the descendants of the Ouyang family. She remembered that Ouyang Hongye once said that every Demon King Fox must find their destined blood pact maker. Only after the pact is made will the power given by the gods in their bodies be unlocked. And if she remembered correctly, she is the most suitable one. The human being who signed a blood pact with Ouyang Xiaoleng. She has already experienced the power of Qingyun's Rakshasa Mother. She thinks that the reason why she is still alive in this world is entirely because Ouyang Xiaoleng has been protecting her. Maybe besides the few times she knows, there are others that she doesn't know. when.
She couldn't help but look at him. He was always expressionless and silent when there were many people, but his emotions surged like sea water in his gray-blue eyes, attracting her. She wanted to know more about him, about the blood alliance, about his fateful enemy Qingyun, about how she could express her gratitude to him, and about the subtle feelings besides gratitude.
"Can I really become a blood pact?" Xia Qiu lowered his head and asked as if talking to himself.
The air in the living room suddenly became still, and everyone stopped talking and looked at her. Ouyang Hongye painstakingly prepared to let Xia Qiu understand the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of signing a blood pact in a more relaxed state, but he did not expect that she would ask such a question herself before she said many of the things she had thought about in advance.
"Yes, just like I told you, you are the most suitable candidate, and right now you are the only choice. Since the death of the late king Xue Yezhan, the demon world has become worse than before, and the past prosperity has long been wasted. All the cities and states were divided into separate parts, and only the Royal City of Yongchuan was still under the jurisdiction of the royal family. But the elders in the city did not understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and they only accepted the status quo but were unwilling to face the fact that Qingyun reappeared. In The significance of signing a blood pact during this period is different from that of any previous period, and the difficulties faced are also greater. Although it sounds a bit self-deprecating, the fact is that during the most prosperous period of the demon world, we were still hit hard by Qingyun. Two generations of demon kings and foxes We have died in battle one after another. If Qingyun attacks again before Xiao Leng activates the power of the Silver Fox Lord, we will have to accept the reality of destruction. It’s okay if it’s just a demon world. Qingyun’s ambition is definitely not just that, and the human world will most likely become a purgatory.” Ouyang Hongye decided not to beat around the bush and spoke in one breath.
"I saved you once when I was a kid, but I've probably been saved by you countless times since then. If I said I was willing to sign a blood pact with you, you would think I was repaying you, but in fact I was not. I like your world even though I don’t know much about it. I want to have power not only because of you, but also to protect my own family and friends. Our destiny has been connected from a long time ago, But I was connected to your world much earlier."
Xia Qiu looked directly at Ouyang Xiaoleng, her eyes becoming clearer and firmer. She believed that he had prevented her from becoming a blood pact partner out of a kind of protection for her, but now she must convey to her that this was her own decision, and there was no Interference and instigation from the outside world.
"Xia Qiu's understanding is really amazing! Xiao Leng, Xia Qiu has made a decision, you..." Ouyang Hongye still can't believe that everything went so smoothly.
"All right."
Ouyang Xiaoleng, who had been silent, finally said these two important words, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Ouyang Hongye, always felt that he was one step closer to fulfilling his vow to Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu.
Ouyang Hongye's thoughts suddenly jumped back to that bloody night sixteen years ago. The New Year's bell that sounded on the observation deck that night became the death knell of the royal city and even the demon world. With the help of the traitors in the royal city, Qingyun and his gang fought their way into the Chenji Palace, causing rivers of blood and grief everywhere they went.
His sworn brother, the second-generation Demon King Fox Ouyang Xueye, ordered the remaining troops to escort the people in the royal city to escape to a safe area, while he and his wife Ran Susu led a few subordinates to fight Qingyun and others in a desperate battle. . How much he wanted to stay with Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu until the last moment, but they entrusted their only son to him. That kind of trust was something he could not resist. He knew that they had already determined that they would die. determination.
He will never forget that Ouyang Xueye took out the Demon King's Crown from his body and slowly put it into Ouyang Xiaoleng's body when he was still a baby, and then kissed him together with Ran Susu. That was their farewell to their son in the world. Not a single tear was shed.
From the moment Ouyang Hongye took Ouyang Xiaoleng and tied him to his chest and fought his way out of Chenji Palace, his time stopped, his brain became blank, and there was only red in his eyes. , his hand only remembers the continuous chopping movements. He could never recall how he took the baby and fled to Ouyang's ancient house. When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed. In front of him was Dong Muya holding Ouyang Xiaoleng. From her eyes, he knew everything was going well. It was over, the two people he loved so much were gone.
"It's worth celebrating! Let's have something good together tonight! Hongye is responsible for cooking!" Dong Muya saw from Ouyang Hongye's eyes that he was remembering painful memories again, and clapped his hands to distract him.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had rice cooked by Hongye. Let's have a drink by the way!" Mochizuki in the corner suddenly stood up and agreed.
"Am I your nanny?!!!" Ouyang Hongye came out of her sadness and complained pretending to be angry.
"Okay, okay, let Hongye cook! Let's do something interesting. Xia Qiu, do you want to see my secret base first? Or do you want to see Xiao Leng's room first?" Dong Muya smiled. He then pulled Xia Qiu up from the sofa.
