Night seemed to come very early in the Spirit Beast Forest. Because the Spirit Beast Forest was dangerous, several people did not continue moving forward, but found an open space to rest. The trees in the forest were dense and there was no light. Several people lit four or five large fires and sat around them.
Duan Muxi was sitting with Xuanyuan Mo and Melo. At this time, she was roasting spirit beast meat for the two of them.
"Sister Xi." The gentle and pleasant male voice sounded particularly pleasant in this silent night.
Hearing the sound, Duan Muxi looked up and saw Huangfu Yu who had walked up to him at some point. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she said, "Duan Muxi or Xi'er."
After Huangfu Yu was stunned for a moment, he understood the meaning of Duanmu Xi's words and said Cong Shanruliu: "Xi'er, can I have a few words with you alone?"
"Third Master, here, try Xi'er's craftsmanship." Duanmu Xi seemed not to have heard Huangfu Yu's words, and cut a piece of the roasted spirit beast meat in his hand to Merlo next to him.
Mero took it, took a bite, nodded and said, "Not bad."
Duanmuxi's lips curled up when she heard the compliment. Then she cut off another piece and handed it to Huangfu Yu, who was still waiting for her answer, "Want to try it?"
"Of course, thank you." Fu Yu was stunned for a moment and then took the roasted meat with some flattery. He took a bite politely. The outside was charred and the inside was tender, crispy and delicious. It was indeed delicious!
When Huangfuyu took over the barbecue, Duanmuxi immediately felt a dark wind on the left. Knowingly, she quickly cut off another piece of barbecue and handed it to the left.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at the roast meat that was put to his mouth, and his gloomy handsome face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny.
Duan Muxi looked at the vague smile on Xuanyuan Mo's lips and twitched the corners of her lips. This man's face changing speed was really unusually fast.
Huangfuyu looked at this mysterious girl in front of him. She had such a noble status, but she would grill meat for those close to her; she had such an indifferent personality, but she smiled at him alone. She didn't want him to call her Sister Xi, but she allowed him to call her Xi'er; she ignored him one moment, and gave him barbecue the next. He has been in the royal family since he was a child. He has never seen any kind of people, and he can't understand any kind of people, but he can't understand her.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Master and Axue are not outsiders."
Duanmuxi's sudden voice interrupted Huangfuyu's train of thought.
Huangfu Yu looked at Xuanyuan Mo and then at Mello, then slowly said: "Uncle Huang, is he okay?"
Imperial uncle? He was probably talking about his father.
"Father, he is very good." When Duan Muxi mentioned his father, his voice was no longer as cold as before, but had a little warmth.
Huangfuyu nodded slightly when he heard this. I have long heard that the Queen of the Suzaku Kingdom loves her uncle very much, and she even has only him as a husband to this day. To have a wife who loves him so much and such a lovely daughter, he must be very happy, uncle!
At the beginning, he did not understand why a man as magnificent as his uncle would give up his position as prince for a woman, and why he would marry far away from the country of Suzaku, where women were respected. Even for the Phoenix Queen, this was not acceptable to ordinary men. Now that he saw Duan Muxi, he finally understood the emperor's uncle's decision at that time. For such a fascinating woman, if it were him, he would make the same decision as the emperor's uncle. Unfortunately, they are brother and sister.
After a period of silence, Huangfuyu slowly said: "Grandpa Huang, he misses his uncle very much."
grandfather? She hasn't seen her grandpa for five or six years, "Grandpa, how are you?"
Duan Muxi's suddenly softened voice made Huangfuyu stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "Grandpa Huang is very good, but he always talks about uncle Huang." Among all the younger generations, Grandpa Huang likes him the most, not for anything else, but because He looks most like the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle must be really outstanding, so he would be remembered by the emperor like this. If the emperor's uncle saw her, he would also like her. She looks so like the emperor's uncle.
"Father also misses grandpa very much, but they will meet soon. On grandpa's sixtieth birthday, father and mother will go back to celebrate his birthday." She will go too, to see grandpa. Regardless of whether he is the same as in modern times, he is still his grandfather.
"Really? That's great. Grandpa Huang will be very happy." Huangfuyu was a little excited and really wanted to tell Grandpa Huang the good news right away. Since the emperor's uncle married to the Suzaku Kingdom, he has never returned to the Qinglong Kingdom, and they have not seen each other for more than ten years. Not to mention Grandpa Huang, even juniors like them miss him very much.
Xuanyuan Mo listened to the conversation between the two, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. His Xi'er was always so different. Huangfuyu was an imperial uncle and an imperial grandfather. This might be the habit of being a royal. And his Xi'er, who is also from the royal family, always calls her father and grandpa. Even when it comes to the Queen of the Suzaku Kingdom, she calls her mother, just like the names that ordinary people use among their families. Instead of the coldness of the royal family, there is only the warmth of ordinary people.
Feng Xifan stood in the distance, looking at Duanmu Xi. He was a little envious that the prince could sit and talk with her, but it was also a blessing for him to be able to watch her from a distance like this.
As the night progressed, Melo did not arrange for students to keep vigil. Instead, she and Xuanyuan Mo took turns keeping watch. The night in the spirit beast forest is not as good as the day. There are many gregarious spirit beasts who like to come out to look for food at night. If you are not always vigilant, you may die without knowing how.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmuxi, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and pulled up the black cloak covering Duanmuxi. This scene is somewhat familiar. She still remembers the time when they met in the Water Curtain Cave. At that time, she thought it was the first time they met, but in fact, he had been missing her for a year. When did he start liking her? Maybe it was when he saw her for the first time, maybe it was when she stood in front of him to protect him without any scruples, or maybe it was when she fought Lan Ze without fear of death. Anyway, it was a long, long time ago.
The sudden noise in the surrounding woods made Xuanyuan Mo instantly alert. He raised his head and glanced at the dark trees, his amber eyes full of solemnity.
"Xi'er."
Xuanyuan Mo's shout made Duan Muxi and Melo wake up from their sleep at the same time. After they looked at the dark surroundings warily, their expressions changed at the same time.
"Xi'er, go and wake up the others." Mello looked solemnly at the dark area in front of him.
"Okay." Duanmuxi once again looked at the unknown object approaching them in front of them, turned around and headed towards the place where Huaye'er and the others were sleeping.
After a while, everyone woke up, and they all felt the danger approaching, and they all ran towards Xuanyuan Mo and Mello.
As the unknown objects approached, the noises around them became louder and louder.
Seeing the unknown objects coming toward them from all directions, everyone was stunned, "Oh my God. What is that?"
"What on earth is it? How come there are so many?" The noise was several times louder than the ice and snow bear they saw in the morning. It was so dense that it was impossible to see how many there were.
In just the blink of an eye, a large black wave had already surged in front of everyone.
"Yes. Yes. It's a mouse!" Chu Lian'er was so shocked that she was speechless by the thousands of mice in front of her.
"Ah." Xia Houshan screamed and hid behind Lian Zhengyu.
Although Hua Ye'er didn't scream like Xia Houshan, there was fear in her eyes, and her body involuntarily leaned towards Xue Luochen.
Even Hua Xian'er's face turned pale and she looked frightened.
Although Duan Muxi had no expression on her face, her deep purple eyes were full of disgust. She is not afraid of rats, but they are the animals she hates the most.
Although the boys didn't show any frightened expressions, they all had goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Everyone, be careful." Xue Luochen waved away the black mouse that climbed on him, and his expression suddenly turned ugly, "This is the chipmunk."
Xue Luochen pulled Huaye'er to her side and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. Huaye'er looked up at Xue Luochen with some confusion, not understanding his intention.
When Xuanyuan Mo heard the words "flower mouse", he immediately moved to Duan Muxi's side. He raised his hand and covered Duanmu Xi's mouth and nose with his sleeves.
Those who knew about the chipmunks changed their faces and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves. Those who didn't know about the chipmunks also imitated what others did, although they didn't know why.
Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, and his deep purple eyes looked at the countless black mice in front of him again. Are these rats poisonous
"It smells so good!" Chu Lian'er sniffed the charming floral fragrance that came from nowhere with an intoxicated look on her face.
"It smells really good, it smells good." Xia Houshan also put down her sleeves and greedily smelled the fragrance of flowers floating in the air.
"Don't smell it!" Seeing several people put down their sleeves, Xue Luochen was shocked. The chipmunk makes everyone's eyes change when they hear it, not because of its number, but because it releases a very fragrant gas. And this kind of fragrance can make people hallucinate and have the effect of infatuation.
Glancing at the people whose eyes were beginning to blur, Mello said coldly, "Stop shouting, it's already too late."
Looking at the chipmunks in front of him who were about to move, Mero's beautiful eyes narrowed, "In this way, those who know the fire spirit method will stand on the outside and use your fire spirit method to burn these chipmunks clean. Those who don't know the fire spirit method will Stand inside, stay awake under sober care."
Feng Xifan looked at Chu Lian'er who kept rubbing against him with disgust, pulled Yue Ruye who was standing next to him, handed Chu Lian'er to him, and turned around and left without looking back.
"Hey, senior brother, wait a minute..." Yue Ruye looked at Feng Xifan's retreating figure, and then looked at Chu Lian'er who was confused and infatuated in her arms. She really didn't know what to do. She felt that she was holding something in her hand. Holding a hot potato.
Lian Zhengyu was also holding the hot potato. Looking at Xia Houshan who kept tugging on his clothes in his arms, Lian Zhengyu's black eyes were full of disgust.
