In the hotel room, Qingluan sneezed heavily.
Suzaku, who was so frightened that it was nestled on his shoulder, was stunned.
Zhu Que stretched out her little head to rub his cheek: "What's the matter with you?"
Is it sick
But their mythical beasts generally don't get sick. Once they get sick, it means that there is a problem with the body. It is not easy to solve, and it is very troublesome.
So no wonder Suzaku was nervous.
Qingluan was also a little puzzled: "...No, I'm fine."
About an accident.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed again.
Slap at the speed of light!
Suzaku: "..."
Suzaku nervously lost a feather!
Shaking and rolling, it fell to Qingluan's fingertips.
Qingluan caught it easily and put the feather in his pocket, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "It's really nothing."
He didn't know why he was sneezing, but there was nothing wrong with his body.
Speaking of which, the Divine Beasts of the Judgment Institute have had frequent accidents in recent years, and he is very lucky. So far, nothing has happened, and he has never suffered any major injuries.
Suddenly, a common saying in the world appeared in Qingluan's mind.
Sneezing for no reason, could it be... Being spoken badly behind your back
But in the next second, he felt that there might be something wrong with his brain.
The so-called sneezing due to bad words, in addition to most of the coincidence and self-love, there is also a small part of the energy field generated by resentment.
When the resentment towards someone is so strong, there is a chance that resentment will arise and affect the health of the person being resented. It is a very superficial form of curse.
But this could never happen to him.
The premise of the establishment of the curse is that the person who issued the curse is far stronger than the cursed person, and in the world, the only person who can be so much stronger than him is... Phoenix.
how is this possible
Qingluan dispelled the absurd thoughts in his mind, and got back to business: "Phoenix is no longer here."
A few hours ago, he suddenly sensed the aura of the phoenix, and rushed over, so anxious that Suzaku even forgot to drop it.
It's just that the breath was very weak. He wandered around for a few hours. When he found this small hotel, the bird's nest was empty, and only the strong phoenix breath was left in the room.
It is worth noting that in this breath, there is also a taste that belongs to human beings.
The entanglement is very tight, and it is obvious that they have been together for a long time.
Qingluan was a little surprised. He thought that according to Phoenix's solitary character, he left alone.
But now in this situation... Is he carrying a human with him
Suzaku also discovered this problem: "There were indeed two humans who disappeared with Phoenix that day."
One of them was also pigeoned by him, and he felt guilty.
Suzaku was very embarrassed at first. It is a bird with clear grievances. The promise to go out has never been emptied. Its reputation is famous among the beasts, so he was very concerned about the pigeon Meng Qingzhi. uneasy.
But later he found out that the man named Meng Qingzhi seemed to have a personality problem, and he almost harmed the entire human world.
If Xuanwu, who is completely enchanted, will come out like that, then all of their mythical beasts will be implicated, and the world will be in chaos, and the life of mythical beasts will not be easy.
If nothing else, the workload of the adjudication office will definitely increase exponentially, Qingluan will be busier than now, and he will not have time to pay attention to him.
Although Suzaku doesn't care much about the life and death of human beings, once his own interests are involved, he is still very vigilant.
Thinking of this, he felt no more guilt.
The thank you gifts he had given to Meng Qingzhi were precious enough.
Speaking of... If it weren't for the god-level magic tools he gave to Meng Qingzhi, according to Meng Qingzhi's ability, it is estimated that it would be difficult to break the illusion.
Thinking of this, Suzaku felt so guilty that his head almost shrunk into his body.
In this way, he is actually an indirect accomplice of the shattered illusion and the disappearance of Phoenix.
As for Qingluan, it is known to everyone that they value Phoenix the most.
If Qingluan knew that this matter had something to do with him...
Suzaku: …
Suzaku: …
Life is not easy, Queque is autistic.
Alas, his habit of giving generously everywhere seems to be changed.
Quiet as a chicken for a moment, Suzaku didn't give Qingluan a chance to speak, and hurriedly urged: "Also, I can still smell a little smell, I should, uh, not go far, let's catch up, catch up!"
Qingluan also thought so, but he was a little strange: "What's wrong with you, is your throat uncomfortable?" He spoke stutteringly.
Suzaku said without breathing: "No, it's not Jiang Zi, don't say that, let's go find Phoenix, I'm so worried about him!"
After he finished speaking, he fluttered his short wings with all his might, trying to show his inner impatience.
Qingluan: ...
It feels even weirder.
…
At this time, Fenghuang, who was worried about by the two subordinates, was blowing cold wind expressionlessly in the suburbs in the middle of the night.
Su Zui who was a few steps away from him: "..."
After a period of suffocating silence and simple exchanges, he finally learned that he had been mistaken about the identity of the Boss from beginning to end.
The atmosphere fell silent again, the man was mistaken and he didn't want to speak, and Su Zui was also swept away by a faint embarrassment.
Su Zui was suffocated for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Ah, the spicy chicken system."
They don't even give a character identity reminder!
System 555 cried out incompetence: "Woooooooooooooooo-"
This is the setup of the main system, how can it duck.
The cold wind blew through, bringing a cool breath, and Su Zui's mind occupied by embarrassment calmed down a little.
He looked at the man whose brows were particularly cold in the moonlight, and was a little puzzled.
Since it's not Qingluan, then... who is it
Several names crossed in his mind, and they were crossed out by him one by one.
Birds and beasts are stronger than Qingluan, and they are not low in the judgement. There are not many conditions that can be met.
Suddenly, he saw the phoenix spirit jade in his hand that looked like a gleaming phoenix under the moonlight.
Between the light and flint, he seemed to have caught something, and said in disbelief, "... Phoenix?"
The person on the other side remained silent, but the corners of his lips moved visibly, and the gloom in his eyes was a little less.
Su Zui was shocked, is that true
When he read these two words, he himself got stuck.
Su Zui really did not expect it.
He hadn't thought about the name at all.
After all, when the identity of the phoenix appeared in the original book, it was already defined as a dead person, and the body had been swallowed by the evil energy, and there was nothing but a tainted truth.
It is because of this that he never thought about the identity of the Boss on Phoenix's head from the beginning.
After all, according to common sense, a dead person can't be a boss, not to mention that Phoenix has so few roles, all of which is to set off Qingluan's stubbornness, which is not much better than his cannon fodder.
System 555 finished crying, but did not forget to do his due diligence to analyze Su Zui: "It should be that the plot shifted after your arrival, the host. Phoenix was not swallowed by evil like in the original book, because the other party's ability and identity match, so It was judged as a Boss by the system."
Su Zui: "... OK." You are the system, you have the final say.
He remembered the scene of picking up a bird's egg in the woods that day and being touched by porcelain.
It should have been since then that the plot has not been the same as before.
The description of Phoenix in the original book was not detailed, and the date of his death was not specifically written, so Su Zui guessed twice, once for Suzaku and once for Qingluan, but he didn't guess that he was on his head, and he didn't expect to be killed by himself. The butterfly wings of the phoenix are actually affected.
Under the man's eyes full of resentment, Su Zui suddenly had the illusion that he was a scumbag.
He cleared up his mood and explained: "Wait a minute, don't think too much, I don't know Qingluan. It's just rumors that Phoenix is in retreat, and Qingluan is the person in charge of the ruling, so... I admit it's wrong."
This is also reasonable.
Phoenix thought for a while and reluctantly accepted this setting.
Also... his own subordinates, he still knows if they have done something wrong.
Phoenix: "Yeah."
After saying this word, he fell into a deep silence again.
His brows were tightly wrinkled, and his eyes became darker in the middle of the night. If he didn't know, he probably thought he was in a bad mood.
Su Zui looked at him and did not speak.
There was silence between the two.
The two big men looked at each other under the moonlight. This should have been an embarrassing scene, but for some reason, Su Zui suddenly wanted to laugh.
The familiar stinky smell...
Even in a few hundred years, he would not fail to recognize it.
He took the initiative to take a few steps towards the man.
The wind in the middle of the night suddenly brought a soft breath, not so cold.
The breath of the first blooming flowers came from the human body in front of him, as if to tempt people to break him off.
Phoenix suddenly remembered that in the days when their tribe was still prosperous, there was a flower that would only bloom when the moon was at its peak.
Crystal clear, like a fairy.
The flowering period of this flower is very short, only a moment, if it can't be picked when it can no longer bloom, it will quickly wither and die.
This kind of flower is very beautiful, the number is small, it is a beautiful and precious thing.
At that time, there were many spiritual beasts and divine beasts, and everyone's courtship life was also very rich.
As a result, the atmosphere gradually picked up, and many spirit beasts or divine beasts beat their heads and blood, just to pick a flower like this to please their favorite objects.
In the inheritance memory he received, he had seen his ancestors holding such a flower in his mouth, holding it in front of his partner with restraint, and the slender tail feathers were so enthusiastic that it seemed to be on fire.
…
Somehow, at this moment, Phoenix remembered this memory.
The once boring memory seems to have been added with a layer of filter.
There was an impulse in his heart, to pick a flower for the young man in front of him that would only bloom in the moonlight, and raise the most gorgeous tail of the bird clan to court him.
Just like countless ancestors have done.
However, he quickly remembered that with the decline of the aura, many species became extinct, and this unknown flower had long since disappeared.
Su Zui had already walked up to him.
Phoenix is very tall, and his human form is definitely 1.9 meters. His body has just reached adulthood, and he is about 1.7 meters tall. He has to raise his head to meet a man.
Now that the identity of the other party has been confirmed, Su Zui doesn't intend to make any adjustments.
But, before that, he had to figure out one thing first.
He raised his hand, revealing the pure white jade lying in the palm of his hand.
The pure white phoenix is lifelike, and it seems to be alive at any time under the moonlight.
Su Zui looked at the jade for a while, feeling complicated.
This piece of jade was broken and repaired by itself. After repairing, it was so many times stronger that it could even absorb evil energy... It was so obvious, he thought that this was the original family heirloom, but he didn't think about anything else.
Blame him for being locked into a fixed mindset.
Thinking of something, Su Zui rubbed it twice with his fingertips, "Is there your soul in this piece of jade?"
Although it is an interrogative sentence, the tone of the sentence is almost declarative.
Hearing his indifferent question, Fenghuang with a charming mind suddenly came to his senses in the cold wind.
While shy, there was also a slight panic.
He got it.
He knew that he had secretly put a stray soul beside him.
Would you… feel offended
According to Fenghuang's arrogant temper, if someone dares to do this without his knowledge, he will be merciful when he beats the opponent to the point of being disabled.
However, at this moment, Phoenix does not know that there is a thing in the world called a love filter.
Looking at Phoenix's ears that suddenly turned red, Su Zui who put on the filter was not only not angry, but also felt that... the other party was a little cute.
So innocent, so embarrassed.
In the previous world, after being in love for a few years, Mr. Fu, who was very capable of learning, quickly evolved into an old driver. He hadn't seen this man whose ears were reddened by a word for a long time.
Su Zui stared at Phoenix's reddish ears, his eyes lit up, revealing a very subtle smile.
Since Phoenix has hidden a trace of his soul in this spiritual jade, every time he touches the jade, isn't it the equivalent of doing something to Phoenix...
Thinking that some time ago, when he had nothing to do, he held the jade in his hand and played with it, Su Zui said, "..."
Although they are both old men and old men, this kind of fun is still a bit exciting.
Phoenix has endured until now.
This is too boring... too cute!
Su Zui was dominated by a filter that was about a few hundred meters thick, and came to a conclusion without any psychological obstacles: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
Touched, he is not a person who will shirk responsibility.
Phoenix, who originally thought he would be sentenced to death: ... ? ?
Phoenix: ! ! !
At the same time, there was a string of exclamation marks in his heart, and there was Suzaku who first found the place with Qingluan.
Suzaku stayed on the spot.
Suzaku pretended to be calm.
Suzaku turned to leave.
Pretend you haven't heard anything that needs to be silenced!
The author has something to say:
Suzaku: Ah, I didn't expect the boss to have such a hobby...
