Alleys in the east of the city, bluestone and moss. In the blue courtyard wall, a corner of the Zhuyan eaves of the painting building can be vaguely seen, and swallows both return and play around the eaves.
There are three or two different flowers in the courtyard, the branches sticking out from the wall, the fragrance is lingering, and the sound of running water is faintly flowing in the courtyard, elegant and quiet.
"Squeak!" The courtyard door opened. Qin Yi stood by the door and looked around. A few little foxes were standing around quietly, with rockery and flowing water in the middle, and a bridge on the pavilion. Above the stone bridge, Cheng Cheng held an oil-paper umbrella and stood quietly in the bridge watching the water.
In the cut pupils like autumn water, there are reflections of falling flowers, which seem to be melancholy.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, a light wind blew through, and Cheng Cheng seemed to be a little chilly, frowning slightly. However, he quickly realized that it was Qin Yi who was here, his brows quickly stretched out, he looked up at the door, and smiled: "Are you here?"
The drizzle filled the sky and the wind filled the courtyard, and no one saw the frowning.
Such a verse suddenly appeared in Qin Yi's heart, and for some unknown reason, it was clear that Cheng Cheng was not a literary youth, but Ju Yunxiu was, but what Qin Yi saw in Ju Yunxiu was always the air of immortality. , but on a demon king who was supposed to be more atmospheric and savage, he could always see the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the gentleness and lightness under the umbrella.
Like an illusion.
In fact, it's just an illusion... Cheng Cheng didn't practice cultivation, she is an ordinary human being, it does not mean that she is an ordinary human's mind and soul. Her soul is obviously the same as Cheng Huang, but it's just a distraction. However, because the weak body without cultivation brings strange feelings, being in this picture of Jiangnan mist and rain always gives people a helpless and graceful illusion.
Seeing Cheng Cheng but not Cheng Huang is Qin Yi's self-deception, but Cheng Cheng accompanies him in this play, as if they are really two people.
A demon king who cannot have any emotional communication with humans due to various political considerations, and a human girl who runs the ancestral clothing shop in the demon city without any cultivation.
Look at the splendid world in this demon city.
There is not only blood and cruelty here, but also the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are not only demon kings, but also human girls.
She is willing to role-play, and Qin Yi is also willing to play with her.
"Sit." Cheng Cheng happily took his hand and sat opposite the stone table in the pavilion.
There are already a jug and two small cups on the table. Cheng Cheng poured the wine for him and said with a smile, "Do I need to be dumb?"
Qin Yi smiled: "Don't... In fact, you don't need to deliberately pretend to be another identity. It's not good to pretend to be schizophrenic."
"It's not that I want to pretend, and it's not that you have to watch me pretend." Cheng Cheng smiled slightly: "If you mention it like that, I will answer it like that, which means we have something in common. You don't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the demon city, and you don't want me to go there. Consider that, I'm Cheng Cheng, you're Qin Yi, everyone is purer, right?"
"Yes. I don't want to regard Ye Ling as the young master of the demon city, nor do I want to regard Cheng Cheng as a demon king. It's too involved, and you annoy me as well. It's better to be pure. Ye Ling's heart is pure, so naturally , I just don't know if you can do it." Qin Yi raised his glass: "Don't say anything else, let's make a smooth recovery for you first, toast."
Cheng Cheng raised his glasses and touched each other, and the two drank at the same time.
Cheng Cheng's body obviously has no alcohol capacity, and his pretty face blushed quickly, Yingying looked at him, and whispered: "Is this wine still satisfactory? It is also a human craft, but it uses Yaocheng Linggu. taste."
Qin Yi said, "It's good wine. It's a pity that you can't drink much of this kind of spirit wine."
"Well...it's easy to get drunk." Cheng Cheng said softly: "But it doesn't matter, the person in front of you is you, so what if I die of drunkenness?"
Qin Yi tilted his head slightly: "Don't say that."
"Then what do you want to hear?" Cheng Cheng said: "Aside from being a demon king, could it be that you really don't know what I'm thinking? Never... Do you think that's just teasing you?"
This sentence has already been pointed to, not the current sentence.
It was the sentence from a long time ago: "If you want to stay for a long time, you are willing to entrust it for the rest of your life."
At that time, the words uttered by Cheng Cheng's human identity were the true meaning.
It's not intentional to hook up, nor is it acting as a show for Guo Xiao.
It's true from start to finish.
It's just that when the responsibility of the demon king is involved, she doesn't dare to face up to the true meaning of this, and Qin Yi can't believe it, both parties regard it as molesting.
Things have changed, and suddenly looking back, the two of course know that it is true.
"This Jinxiufang, I didn't buy it temporarily to fool you." Cheng Cheng sipped his wine and whispered: "Yaocheng originally has aesthetic clothes, not blood and blood, but aesthetics are closer to those of human alien tribes. . This was originally a workshop where my mother worked. Of course, my mother was just an ordinary Weaver Maid rather than the proprietor—more precisely, she was just a human slave.”
Qin Yi sipped his wine without saying a word, and listened to Cheng Cheng tell the story.
"How she met my father, I don't know. In short, she became my father's slave and was favored a few times. The so-called legend that the demon king fell in love with humans is false, it's just that the mother has special luck. Well...you know, the stronger the life, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and the more difficult it is to combine interracially.
Speaking of this, Cheng Cheng was a little sarcastic: "The so-called purity of blood is not comparable to the crisis of the future. It's as simple as a mother's transformation from a human to a queen. This Fairy Blossom Square was also kept as a souvenir and became one of the royal family's industries. So I It’s the proprietor, my person is always here, and I have personally designed the clothes, I learned it from humans, I didn’t lie to you.”
Qin Yi smiled: "Well, the splendid world in the demon city. From the past to the present, it is all."
Not only this Jinxiufang, this is only a microcosm at most. The splendid beauty of this demon city is reflected in many human systems and civilizations. It is different from the group of demons. This is all promoted by Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng held his cheeks charmingly and asked, "Actually... Qin Yi, do you know that the offspring born from the union with monsters are also impure, so why doesn't anyone care?"
Qin Yi was stunned. He hadn't thought about it before, so it's right to say that, where did the pure blood come from the descendants of other demon races, why didn't they care, so they still discriminate against humans
"It's not simply a matter of discrimination against humans, but a crisis of consciousness and domination." Cheng Cheng said lightly: "I was born to be a king, and they have no choice. But I have human blood, and naturally there is a human bias. I will promote human craftsmen, and even have human advisors in some important departments. Monsters can't eat people casually, and they must be certified and reported, and so on. If it wasn't for the fact that I was indeed the strongest, I'm afraid Bai Guo would have rebelled several times. Before Guoxiao Erguo also used this kind of thing to incite our Baiguo, but they were all suppressed by me."
Qin Yi finally understood where Ying Li and the others were really worried.
This thing is more serious than pure bloodlines, much more serious.
"If my descendants are born from the union of human beings, the demon city in the future will inevitably change, and all the monsters can't stand it. They would rather I marry a random monster than a human being—oh, except for Ye Ling. "
Qin Yi: "..."
Cheng Cheng looked solemn: "I'm talking about all monsters, not Ying Li and other few people's problems, but everything. All of them... including Cheng Huang."
The dialogue from that year came to my mind again: "They are all people who seek to gain both money and people, and there are no sincere people."
The monsters are not necessarily trying to get both people and money. What they are doing is more complicated. In short, there are definitely no real people.
However - "the hard work of the ancestors must not be abandoned", this is her responsibility.
So in fact, everything has been said a few years ago, and every sentence is true.
Qin Yi was silent, and after a long while, he raised his glass and said, "Got it. Drink a bar."
Cheng Cheng held down the wine glass and whispered, "But I'm Cheng Cheng, I'm a human being, not Cheng Huang. I don't ask you to stay for a long time. If I go with you, do you want me?"
Qin Yi's hand trembled slightly, and a drop of wine fell on the stone table and slowly spread out, like a peach blossom.
Cheng Cheng finally raised his glass and said word by word, "I have a double body, the demon body is the king, and the human body serves the king. If you want to drink this glass together."
