"So now, I have something I want to trouble you with."
Chapter 87 "Nine-Tailed Fox" - Luo Ling (5k)
What happened before in "The End of Zhuolu" is the reason why Yuejian has not been making trouble for a while.
After this incident, Yue Jian realized that even though she had enough strength, she was still too young in front of other old foxes.
The "victory" she gained in the Victoria Incident made Yue Jian go to her head and think that she was qualified to sit in the position of distributor. But after calming down and thinking carefully, she realized that this was just a fluke of her plan based on the Messenger of Doom.
Or it was because Luo Ling finally thwarted everything planned by the Messenger of Doom, otherwise her so-called "victory" would eventually return to the hands of the Messenger of Doom... From the beginning to the end, the only thing Yue Jian had done was to "pick up leaks".
After "The End of Zhuolu", Yue Jian, for various reasons, showed weakness to Luo Ling in the hope that the Xuanyuan family would not vent their anger on the Qingqiu Kingdom. After that, nothing really happened, and the Xuanyuan family seemed to have ignored the matter.
However, Luo Ling never appeared again until this unexpected encounter today.
"I thought... you had forgotten."
Yuejian still maintained her charming smile, but with a hint of uneasiness and reluctance.
It's not that she doesn't want to fulfill this promise, but mainly... She is really unsure what Luo Ling will ask of her...
You have to know that Miss Luo Ling is Zizhu, the Chosen One of Naraku. Yuejian is not as obsessed as Iris to completely separate "Zizhu" and "Luo Ling". The notoriety of the Chosen One of Naraku is obvious to all, and Zizhu's previous actions... there are also some precedents for reference.
When Yue Jian made the promise before, she already had the belief of sacrificing herself, but when the moment really came, she couldn't help but feel a little uncertain and nervous.
"If it's just the body, it's easier to say..."
Yuejian muttered a few words in her heart, not because she wanted to misunderstand, but from her precise and clever eyes, she knew that this person would have some tendency in this aspect, and this was the only aspect that Yuejian was most confident in.
In terms of strength, it is true that she is very strong, but we also need to look at the comparison. In the past, who was not stronger than her in "The End of Zhuolu"
In terms of power, Qingqiu is just a small power that has been defeated and can only hide in the "past" to survive, while Miss Luo Ling... can even talk and laugh with the Xuanyuan family, and there are even rumors that she has established some unbreakable friendship with the Xuanyuan family...
Of course, it was not directly specified that it was Miss Luo Ling. The rumor only mentioned a mysterious person. But from Yue Jian's understanding of the Xuanyuan family and Luo Ling, if the rumor was true, the mysterious person could only be Miss Luo Ling in front of him.
Therefore, the only thing Yue Jian can show off is this stunning appearance.
"Ah, I almost forgot about it, but now I remember it."
Luo Ling nodded seriously and said that if she had not been chosen by chance to invade the "Kingdom of Qingqiu" at the moment of Maoke, she would have indeed forgotten about Yuejian and the previous events.
There was no way. A lot of things happened during this period of time. In addition, Grandma Yuejian didn't make any more noise, so Luo Ling gradually ignored the past.
In fact, today's reunion was actually another lucky opportunity for Yue Jian. If Mao Ke had not been responsible for the invasion and handed it over to other postmen or high-level messengers, the country of Qingqiu would inevitably be engulfed in war, and there would surely be heavy casualties.
In a sense, Luo Ling did rescue Yue Jian and her Qingqiu clan again, but Miss Luo Ling herself didn't care much about these details.
It is because Yue Mi knows this that she has such an attitude that can almost be called humble.
"It's not a big deal. I just want to borrow something from you." Luo Ling continued.
Hearing this, Yue Jian's expression changed a little, and Mao Ke beside him said at the right time,
"Ms. Luo Ling, generally speaking, if you say something like this, the thing you want to borrow is your life."
"Uh, it's not fate... Is it?" Luo Ling scratched the back of his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "Probably not."
Previously, Yue Jian's face had only changed slightly, but now even her expression had changed in a way that was difficult to conceal.
Don't...
Although the savior is a savior, why did she have to sacrifice her life
Especially at this moment, Luo Ling didn't look like he was joking at all, which made Yue Jian's uneasiness rise several levels.
Waiting to die is always more stressful than being sure of death, especially now when the other party's words are vague...
"Anyway, take us there first. Before that, we need to arrange some other things." Luo Ling calmed down for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, yes, yes, that's true." Mao Ke slapped his head, "I almost forgot about the main thing. I still have to destroy the "Kingdom of Qingqiu"!"
"?"
Yuejian's expression suddenly became more frightened. She was originally being hugged by Mao Ke in a careless manner, and she wanted to break free.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just pretending. I can't be here without anything happening. If Chou Ke sees it, it will have a bad impact."
Mao Ke laughed, then stepped back a few steps, and before his figure completely disappeared, he blinked at Yue Jian.
"Come on, fellow enthusiast, whether we can unlock more CGs depends entirely on you!"
Staring at the place where Mao Ke disappeared, Yue Jian's mouth twitched slightly, but her chest was heaving slightly. These few words just now really scared her.
At this time, Luo Ling and Lina were already holding hands, and the "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" bracelets made a crisp tinkling sound when they collided slightly. Luo Ling extended his other hand to Yue Jian, as if inviting her to join.
-Of course, she just wanted Yuejian to take her for a ride. Although Luo Ling had her own way to step into the "past", this was someone else's home after all, and it would be impolite to barge in rashly.
But because of what she just said, coupled with the random thoughts in her heart, Yuejian actually showed a little hesitation.
In the end, she reached out and held Luo Ling's soft little hand.
"...as you wish."
In order to put on an act for Chou Ke, who had been monitoring every corner of the battlefield, Mao Ke began to spread "doomsday" to various parts of the "Kingdom of Qingqiu". The void gradually eroded this land, dragging everything into the bottomless abyss.
Yue Jian knew very well in her heart that there was nothing that could be done about it, and being able to reach the current outcome was already the best result.
It was a pity that she had tried her best for so long, but in the end she still lost her home.
The Qingqiu clan began to evacuate this land that was about to become nothingness, and temporarily stayed in Yuejian's kingdom of God... But this was not a long-term solution. After all, the kingdom of God could not be compared with the real land, because it was only a brief fragment in the "transformation".
If there are only a few people, the resources are still abundant, but if it is an entire tribe... it can only be described as scarce, and they can't even be self-sufficient.
In order to maintain the operation of the kingdom of God, Yue Jian even has to collect more resources from ordinary people.
But now that things have come to this, we can only do this for now. With the resources of the Qingqiu clan, we can still survive for a while.
After arranging all this, Yue Jian returned to her boudoir. Seeing Luo Ling's face covered in paint, her heart trembled for a moment.
"Ms. Luo Ling, what are you doing..."
"Oh, I will buy these." Luo Ling said calmly with an extremely outrageous makeup, "It's just that I saw a lot of things I've never seen before, so I want to give them a try."
She pointed at the cosmetics on the dressing table, which were basically the specialties of the Qingqiu clan... The Qingqiu clan, which has always been famous for its foxy skills, is the leader in this aspect in the Great Xia Imperial City.
It’s a pity that even the most exquisite cosmetics are difficult for Miss Luo Ling to use.
However, Luo Ling only took some duplicate unopened cosmetics. As the lord of Qingqiu, these things were indispensable on Yue Jian's dressing table.
"It's just a small matter, but since you are not good at this, why don't you let Miss Lina do it?" Yue Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then looked at the Knight lady next to her and understood instantly, "Okay."
It is a pity that Lina obviously did not inherit her mother's talent and skills in this area. Relying on the same superb skills as Luo Ling, she successfully transformed herself into a deadly ghost.
Of course, at least it’s better than Luo Ling.
After all, Luo Ling was holding the makeup remover at this moment but didn't know how to remove it, and ended up making her face even more messy, with red, white and yellow mixed together.
"Let me help you," Yue Jian sighed softly, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, took the makeup remover from Luo Ling's hand, and while busying herself on Luo Ling's face, she asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Miss Luo Ling, what do you think... can I do for you?"
"I told you, I want to borrow something from you." Luo Ling said, and then realized that he hadn't made it clear enough, so he continued, "I want to borrow your Nine-Tailed Fox for a while."
"... ah?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Jian's hands trembled instantly and she almost poked the handkerchief into Luo Ling's eyes.
"Be careful. Why are you so clumsy?"
Luo Ling rubbed his eyes which were almost injured and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry," Yue Jian said quickly, but her expression became even more nervous. "I don't understand why you... want to find my ancestor?"
Just like the Xuanyuan family who call themselves the descendants of the "Emperor", the Qingqiu clan regards the "Nine-tailed Fox" as their ancestor and patron saint. Although it is impossible for the fox to give birth to offspring, this does not prevent the Qingqiu clan from regarding themselves as its descendants.
"Why am I looking for your ancestor? I'm looking for you, your "Nine-Tailed Fox"... That is, I just want you to lend me your ability, which doesn't really seem to be a loan..."
Luo Ling, who was not good at speaking, found it difficult to express what she wanted to express. However, after saying this, Yue Jian, who was quick-witted, had already understood.
"You mean, just like Iris and your black kite form?"
"Yes, yes, that's right, that's it." Hearing this, Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"I want to ask a question," Yue Jian's expression suddenly became serious, "Excuse me, will this harm my ancestor, the Nine-Tailed Fox
"If it only requires my contribution, I don't mind, but if it involves my ancestor, the Nine-Tailed Fox... I must first ask my tribesmen and get their consent."
After all, the "Nine-Tailed Fox" does not just belong to Yuejian herself, but from what she said, even if it is really harmful to the "Nine-Tailed Fox"... it seems that there is room for discussion.
"It's harmless to you or the Nine-Tailed Fox." Luo Ling said, as if he had thought of something, and continued, "I also got the power of Jingwei through Iris. If doing this would be detrimental to Jingwei, Iris would never agree."
"... indeed."
Hearing this, Yuejian nodded approvingly.
It is conceivable how much Iris cares about "Jingwei". Even in this situation, Luo Ling still obtained the power of "Jingwei" through Iris, and after that their relationship seemed to be closer than before.
"I understand," Yue Jian calmed down and said, "What do you need me to do?"
"Just let me have a bite." Luo Ling said seriously.
"…ah?"
It must be said that this sentence really shocked Yue Jian again. For a moment she even thought she had heard it wrong.
"When you say take a bite, do you mean... eat?" Yue Jian asked tentatively.
"That's about right."
Luo Ling nodded slightly. Since Yue Jian agreed, there was no need for her to continue hiding it.
Anyway, it seems that Grandma Yuejian will agree to any request I make.
Yue Jian's expression immediately became a little strange, and she subconsciously hugged her chest.
"Eat, where to eat?"
Luo Ling, who was usually slow, was particularly sensitive in this regard. His expression suddenly turned pale, and he puffed his cheeks and said,
"It's not like you're going to eat anything to supplement your diet, so you don't have to be so nervous."
Yue Jian looked down, then moved her gaze to Luo Ling again, smiling awkwardly.
"Actually, I didn't mean that..."
"snort."
Luo Ling snorted in dissatisfaction, and looked at Yue Jian with an urge to bury her in the ground.
"Just stretch out your arms." Luo Ling said.
"... Um."
Yuejian stretched out her arms nervously, muttering softly,
"Why does this look a bit like a vampire..."
But soon, Yuejian dispelled this speculation.
Luo Ling's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils with a dark golden color, and a lot of blue-black scales spread on both sides of his cheeks. Even his slightly opened mouth was full of sharp teeth.
She bit it down viciously as if in revenge, and a sharp pain came from her arm. Yuejian was sweating profusely in an instant.
This was not just physical pain. If it were just that, Yuejian, who had experienced countless battles, would not be like this. This was an intense pain that affected her soul and even her consciousness. It was as if someone had torn her consciousness apart. The unbearable pain instantly ran through Yuejian's whole body.
She let out a soft cry, and her body instantly went limp, and she couldn't help but collapse on Luo Ling.
Luo Ling stretched out his hand and caught Yue Jian who was slowly falling.
"Is it over?"
Yue Jian was breathing softly, her body rising and falling softly. She felt as if an unknown amount of time had passed, and yet it seemed like only a moment.
But this kind of pain that made even the soul tremble was almost engraved deep in her memory. Even though it has subsided now, she could not forget it for a long time, as if it still existed.
Did Miss Iris suffer such terrible pain before
—Actually, no.
Previously, Luo Ling only borrowed Iris's path, and the power was entirely borne by Luo Ling himself, but now the "devouring" launched by Luo Ling was aimed at Yue Jian herself, but because he held back, there was no real harm, it just taught her a lesson.
Who asked Yue Jian to hint at things that shouldn't be hinted at? She deserves it!
Of course, Miss Luo Ling never holds grudges. Remember, never.
The intense pain soon dissipated, and her blurred consciousness slowly recovered. Yue Jian narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the girl who was holding her in her arms, but she seemed not to see the dark gold color that frightened her before. She could only vaguely see the cherry-colored eyes.
