During the dinner, almost everyone in the Xu family was present, and many people I didn't know took the initiative to talk to me. When they got engaged last time, they weren't so enthusiastic, what a bunch of snobs.
Patriarch Xu said to me: "Xiaolong, come with me, I'll talk to you about something."
He and I walked to the door and asked respectfully, "Uncle, what's the matter, please tell me."
"I have three things to tell you. The first one is about your illness. I didn't ask you carefully last time. I heard that your illness is incurable, but you told me that there is There is a way to cure it, if you need any medicinal materials, just ask, I will use the power of the family to help you find it. Ning Rou is my only daughter, I don't want her to be a widow right after she gets married."
I smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, my illness can be cured 100%, and I don't need to trouble you, I can handle it myself. I like Ningrou very much, so I will definitely not harm her. If the illness cannot be cured , I have already taken the initiative to leave her."
"Well, that's good. I know that Ning Rou also likes you very much. I want to see you living a good life together. As for the second thing... I got back a total of 16 treasures this time, including nine space rings. The specifications are all one cubic meter, and there are seven demon pills, and there are two demon pills that need to be returned to you. I want to ask you, how about exchanging the same amount of space rings for your two demon pills? ?”
Two demon pills, in exchange for two space rings of one cubic meter? Is Master Xu's head caught by the door? When I competed in the Magic Rain Pavilion back then, there were three kinds of prizes to choose from for the top three, demon pills, 30cm space rings, or a bottle of ordinary healing pills. In other words, the value of the demon pill is not very high. Besides, I have found a new way to absorb energy, and it doesn't matter whether there is a demon pill or not.
Moreover, Patriarch Xu seems to want to increase the price. Is the value of the demon pill so high? But since he offered to change it with me, then I will change it. Anyway, the demon pill is not very useful to me. I can exchange two space rings, and I can just give one to the fox demon. She has helped me a lot. She deserves one too.
As for the other one... I want to give it to the bitch, but considering that the bitch is careless and not strong enough, carrying this kind of treasure may lead to death. Reasonable, so I have to think about it before giving it to her.
Thinking of this, I said to Patriarch Xu: "Okay, we are all a family now, so don't be too polite, Uncle, we will all follow your arrangement."
"Well, okay, then I'll take advantage of you." Patriarch Xu said with a smile.
"Uncle, why do you want to get so many demon pills?"
Patriarch Xu was silent for a while, then said: "This is a big secret, but since we're all a family, I won't hide it from you. According to ancient teachings, all major families must hoard demon pills or energy bodies to prevent the end of the world." !"
I asked curiously, "The end of the world?"
"Well, but I can only say this, because there are too many things involved in this secret, and only the heads of each generation are qualified to know, so..."
I smiled: "It's okay Uncle, I can understand."
He nodded and said: "The third thing, since our Xu family won the top three at one time, I want to reward the contestants, how about giving each of you a space ring?"
I thought for a while and said: "This reward is too high... But it's good, it can stimulate the morale of the next generation of Xu family children. As the saying goes, under a heavy reward, there must be brave men, so there will be many outstanding younger generations in the Xu family."
"That's right, I thought so too." Patriarch Xu said.
"Well, I don't need to give it to the fox demon. I will give it to her in the future."
The head of the Xu family said: "It doesn't matter, the Xu family does not lack these space rings, besides, I just want to present the rewards in front of everyone." Then, the head of the Xu family gave me two rings and said: "These are two rings for you. After I go in, I will give you another one."
…
Amid the applause, the head of the Xu family presented us with awards. At the same time, he said: "Everyone, I set a rule. If the Xu family can get two prizes in the martial arts competition ten years later, just like today, each All contestants will get a space ring!"
After I got the space ring, I put it on Xu Xiaoling's hand directly. The fox demon's small hand couldn't wear the space ring. She asked me to find a rope for her to tie it around her neck. I said: "I can't find it now, wait until I go back." I'll find it for you later, okay?"
Xu Xiaoling took off the necklace around his neck and said, "Yujia, can I give this to you?"
"No, I want a rope..."
The dinner lasted until after eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and when she returned to Xu Xiaoling's villa, she soon fell asleep. She has been tossing and turning outside for the past few days and didn't have a good rest. Even I feel tired, let alone her? After she fell asleep, I quietly walked to another room, closed the door, turned on the light, and took off the silver space ring on my chest.
It's been a long time since I opened this ring. This time I'm going to find a rope to wear the ring on the fox demon and hang it around my neck.
The mental power swept across the ring, and after ten minutes, he found a man in armor with ornaments hanging around his neck, which were worn with thin white threads.
There is nothing ordinary in the silver space ring! The first time the corpse was taken out, a trace of blood could make the fox demonize people; the second time the dagger was taken out, it cut the iron like mud; The powerful grandma couldn't move.
So the thin thread of this necklace is definitely not of ordinary material.
I cut it with nail clippers, and it kept cutting! In fact, the nail clippers are also very sharp. It can be seen from this that, as I expected, this is not an ordinary string, and it is just right to give it to the fox demon. In addition, there was originally a black jade stone tied to the string. The jade stone looked very strange, as if it was randomly picked up on the ground. I took it off and threw it into the interspatial ring.
the next day.
I handed the rope to the fox demon. The fox demon tried to pull it a few times, but found that she couldn't stop pulling it. Then she happily tied the space ring to the thin thread and hung it around her neck. Then such a scene appeared: a The little girl, walking on the street, put her hand into her trouser pocket, and took out a lollipop that was bigger than her trouser pocket...
Xu Xiaoling received it in surprise: "What a strong rope, Xiaolong, where did you find it?"
"What? Do you want it too?"
Xu Xiaoling shook his head: "No, I'll just wear it on my hand. In fact, I think you should keep the ring. I don't even know how to use it. It can only be used as an ornament."
Just at this time, He Tian suddenly ran in, the door was not closed, and she went straight into the room without knocking, and I asked, "Hurry up, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother-in-law, someone is looking for you outside, who claims to be Huanyu Pavilion, and even asked Yujia to come over by name."
"From the Huanyu Pavilion? How did you find this place? You also asked Yujia to come over by name, who could it be?"
I said to the fox demon who was playing Rubik's Cube: "Come on, Yujia, go out with me and have a look."
"Oh." She agreed, put down the Rubik's Cube and walked out with me, and came to the living room of the Xu family. I saw the head of the Xu family sitting and talking with another person. When they heard footsteps, they looked up at the door.
Seeing that person's appearance, I froze for a moment, wondering why he came here? I knelt down on one knee, cupped my fists and said, "I pay homage to Wang Zun, I am far away from welcoming you, and I hope to make amends."
"It's okay, get up." He said, "Come and sit."
The fox demon and I walked over and sat on the sofa. Wang Zun said: "Zhao Lei caused you a lot of trouble a few days ago. I punished him for five years and he was not allowed to leave the Huanyu Pavilion for half a step. At the same time, the broken arm He is also not allowed to reconnect, this is a lesson for him, what do you think?"
"Actually, it doesn't need to be like this, as long as he doesn't come to harass me anymore."
"Hehe, actually I'm here this time because I have other things to do." Wang Zun looked at the fox demon and said, "I'm here for her this time."
"What happened to her?" I had a bad feeling.
Wang Zun said: "Human monsters must be sealed. You also know the responsibilities of our Huanyu Pavilion. This monster's ability is too powerful. If it is not sealed and it is not controlled in the future, it will cause a lot of trouble and cause harm. A lot of innocent people died."
I frowned slightly: "I will look at her. Besides, since she was with me, her character has gradually become humanized. Now she is no different from a human being. She has not done anything to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
The fox demon was licking the lollipop, without saying a word.
Wang Zun smiled: "Speaking of which, I still want to ask you why the fox demon is not very powerful, but after contacting you, its strength has increased dramatically. In addition, you found six other monsters a while ago, Go to Qiling City to protect your parents and relatives. Why are the abilities of the six monsters soaring? You have mastered some kind of secret method? If so, you are also an unstable factor. I will consider imprisoning you in the Magic Rain Pavilion to avoid cause trouble."
My eyebrows frowned even deeper: "Wang Zun, I guarantee that the fox demon will not kill anyone. I guarantee it with my life. If she kills someone, you can ask me, how?"
Wang Zun shook his head: "All unstable factors should disappear. I won't kill her, just seal her. Don't worry, I'll save face for the Xu family and you. This matter will be carried out quietly, and the true age of the fox demon will not be revealed. , and the other seven big families will not trouble you, because the rules of the martial arts competition require contestants to be under the age of 28, and the fox demon has already exceeded this age."
"The rules stipulate that people are not monsters. If age is counted, fox demons should be counted from the day they turned into humans! It's like a baby in the mother's womb that doesn't count age."
"Xiaolong, you are a smart person. Now that you and the Xu family have been tied together, I hope you will give me the answer after you think it over."
"You threatened me?!" I slapped the table and stood up!
