In the clean and spacious room, the lights were flickering on and off.
Next to this candle, there are two strange-looking metal pens. In addition to these two metal pens, there are a few messy white papers and a jade teapot. Without the cooperation of the teacup, Finally, the jade teapot could only be placed alone next to the two metal pens, which made Huandu Luolan, who had just pushed the door open, subconsciously feel a strange feeling of pity.
It stands to reason that no one would feel compassion for an inanimate object.
But if it's intuition...
After thinking about this, Lu Yuan thoughtfully stretched out his hand and pressed it on the lid of the pot, raised his eyebrows slightly, then coughed quietly and looked at Huandu Luolan, who was standing at the door in a daze.
"how?"
"Little princess, do you want to see me for something?"
Lu Yuan's sudden voice obviously made Huandu Luolan come back to her senses; after cursing herself secretly, Huandu Luolan awkwardly tugged at the corners of her clothes, pursed her lips, and faced the table shamelessly. The last human sent an invitation.
certainly.
Do not misunderstand.
It wasn't an excessive invitation, it was just an invitation to Lu Yuan to attend the Southern Dinner Party; and this was also one of Huandu Qingtian's trivial little plans.
In terms of emotions and reasons, there is no big shortcoming in letting Huandu Luolan invite Lu Yuan, the Demon King. On the contrary, it will bring considerable benefits to Huandu Luolan.
not to mention...
Even if there is no benefit, it should still be no problem to become familiar.
And at some critical moments, being familiar with a Demon King may become a life-saving or negotiation asset.
All in all, allowing Huandu Luolan to invite Lu Yuan instead of Huandu Qingtian was actually paving the way for his daughter in advance.
and...
If you can get the status of a disciple, then the humiliation and loss suffered by Nanguo this time will be completely non-existent!
As for why this unexpected dinner was held...
There are so many excuses!
Huandu Qingtian can give a sufficient explanation by just looking for one, such as: introducing Lu Yuan's identity to ease the sullenness of many demon kings, expressing a warm welcome to human friends who have come from afar, and the general content of the agreement to be signed. Inform these demon king level subordinates...
All in all, it’s time to compile it now.
Lu Yuan had no opinion on this.
After all, he can't read minds, so even if he guesses what Huan Du Qingtian has in mind, he won't say it outright or reject it.
but...
"I'm really not very good at socializing."
While humbling himself, Lu Yuan followed Huandu Luolan with Yue Xiaxia. His good eyesight ensured that he could clearly see the defeated generals who were standing outside the palace gate.
to be honest.
Lu Yuan knew very well that Huandu Qingtian would never let him apologize to these defeated generals. Even if he did beat these defeated generals badly, no matter how miserable it was, a demon king could not bear the defeat of a demon king. The Demon King's apology.
Therefore, after eliminating this possibility, the only remaining possibility is naturally to make peace with enemies based on the idea that it is better for them to reconcile than to make enemies.
pity.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was not in the mood to listen to this nonsense, let alone deal with these necessary social interactions. Even though he knew very well that the consequences of being rude would lower his impression points, as long as he thought he had no impression points, then he would be rude no matter how rude he was. No idiot would dare to challenge him with impression points.
certainly.
Necessary impression points still need to be retained. For example, Lu Yuan feels that it is necessary to maintain his own image with Yue Xiaxia next to him.
At the very least, it is necessary to give a reminder in advance.
No one likes a rude person, but everyone has a certain ability to understand and tolerate each other's shortcomings within certain limits.
And some shortcomings...
It needs to be informed.
Holding back and not saying anything will only cause greater misunderstandings and even resentment.
In comparison, Lu Yuan was convinced.
However, he did not notice that when he was explaining this point to Yue Mingxia while looking forward, a look of relief flashed in Yue Mingxia's eyes.
perhaps...
Falling in love with a Demon King is a huge pressure in itself!
And falling in love with a perfect demon emperor...
I’m afraid it’s not just pressure!
The journey is short.
But it's also very long.
In a previous life, Lu Yuan estimated that this journey would make him out of breath, but for him who has now entered the extraordinary world, this journey is not too long.
therefore.
After a while, Huandu Luolan brought Lu Yuan and others to the front of the palace.
From the many doubtful, worried, and even hatred-filled glances, Lu Yuan sat down at the guest seat with Yue Cixia with a normal expression.
The main position is naturally Huandu Qingtian.
Lu Yuan had no objection to this.
In terms of love, if a boss is betrayed in front of a group of subordinates, even if the person who betrays him has a higher position or power, he will undoubtedly become a mortal enemy of the boss who has been betrayed.
This is different from previous battles.
During the battle, these southern demon kings were not present.
The only white-haired man was knocked unconscious by him in front of the panda.
Therefore, there is no loss of majesty.
Logically speaking, guests should do as they please and not overwhelm the guests. This is a basic rule that a guest should abide by, not to mention...if you reach out and don't slap the smiling person!
so...
"You'd better calm down..."
The voice of indifference no one can hear.
Because, this sound was not only a sound transmission, but also passed through a whole layer of space barrier, and finally reached this small jade teapot!
Lu Yuan still had a gentle smile on his face, and there wasn't even the slightest cold look in his eyes. He just held a small jade teapot in a rather strange way and kept stroking it.
Huan Du Qingtian naturally noticed Lu Yuan's slightly weird behavior, but considering that people are different, Huan Du Qingtian regarded this behavior as Lu Yuan's personal hobby.
after all...
Who doesn’t have a hobby of playing games? !
At most, the thing being played with is different.
Some like walnuts...
Some like gold, silver and jade...
Some people like crafts...
Some like young and beautiful girls... Figures...
In short, there is everything to play with, so there is no need to make a fuss.
As everyone knows...
Inside this teapot, there is a black fox struggling with great resentment. Not only that, after being imprisoned for ten years with no hope, the black fox has turned into a cat that can only curse. stupid fox.
Then...
He was tied up again and again by Lu Yuan, subjected to some cruel experiments, and then forced to become the first "traitor" in the history of the Black Fox race.
What's the use of being in Cao's camp and having a heart in Han?
If one day Lu Yuan was forced to eat melon to quench his thirst, it would be meaningless whether the melon was sour or not.
Anyway...
"You can't resist!"
Looking at the black and illusory fox shadow that suddenly became quiet and resembled a walking corpse, Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but the fleeting sneer seemed to prove that he had seen through this fox. What kind of trick is the black fox playing?
As for how to deal with this trick next...
Calmly, he took out a piece of meat from the meat and vegetable dishes and put it into his mouth. Ignoring Yue Ciaoxia's expression of trying to suppress a smile, Lu Yuan squinted and put down his chopsticks, sighing lightly in his heart with some thoughts:
"It depends on the attitude of the third young master..."
Um.
The character of carnivores is often so aggressive and powerful.
only...
The results of this speculation are undoubtedly positive.
This point can be clearly seen from the two figures standing in the sky thousands of miles away from the southern border.
"long time no see?"
With some overlapping and vague sounds, the figure standing in mid-air spoke first; at the same time, the powerful aura exuded could not help but make the figure wrapped in black air groan, revealing that pale and pretty face. .
obviously.
In the simple conversation just now, the Black Fox Empress suffered a small loss.
But she had enough sense to tell her that in front of this extremely terrifying figure, it was better not to show anger or make any impulsive actions.
That was undoubtedly looking for a beating.
Death is probably impossible. After all, she was able to survive from the opponent's hands back then, and she can also survive from the opponent's hands now by using her trump card.
But being seriously injured is almost predictable and difficult to avoid.
Therefore, after taking this into consideration, this mysterious woman with a pale face and fox ears still tried with a hint of joking:
"I wonder why you blocked my way today?"
"Isn't it normal for me to block your way?" Raising his left hand slightly, the golden figure sat down cross-legged in mid-air, holding his left cheek without any pretense, and then asked calmly:
"It's you..."
"It's quite abnormal to appear here!"
The profound meaning of the words made the Black Fox Empress feel very uncomfortable.
But knowing that she couldn't beat her, she could only chuckle awkwardly, try her best to put on a harmless posture, and sighed aggrievedly:
"Do you have to step in and check even if I go home and take a look?"
"Home?"
As if he heard something funny, the golden figure couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Then he didn't save face for the other party at all. After the laughter faded, he calmly sneered:
"Do you still have a home?"
"Is that your home?"
"Are you sure the owner there welcomes you?"
Three heart-piercing rhetorical questions made the Black Fox Empress's face turn cold, but she still suppressed the anger in her heart and prepared to explain.
But he never thought that he seemed to have guessed the thoughts and words of the Black Fox Empress. The golden figure waved his hand boringly and said unceremoniously:
"It's better to go back quickly!"
"You and I both know exactly what's going on."
"he!"
"You can't move!"
"You can't move now..."
"You can't move anymore!"
"The best way is to restrain your minions, then go back to your own home to sleep peacefully, and don't come out to cause trouble."
The words have fallen.
After a while, there was still deathly silence in the air. Only the trembling shoulders of the Black Fox Empress symbolized her extremely violent mood swings at this moment.
However, the golden figure sitting in mid-air ignored this insignificant mood swing, just waved his hand thoughtfully, and said lightly:
"Now that you understand, then step back!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a word filled with countless hatred, resentment, regret and even distortion was spit out by the Black Fox Empress:
"retreat???"
As if she had realized what funny words she had just heard, the pale woman couldn't help but let out a burst of sharp and piercing laughter; under the death gaze of the golden figure, this laughter not only did not gradually disappear, but even became... The ones are bigger.
Until half a while later.
It seemed that she was out of breath from laughing, and the laughter slowly stopped. Amidst the comments and silence of the golden figure, the Black Fox Empress spoke again, and asked calmly with strong resentment:
"Ten years ago, you stopped me and said those puzzling words to me. In fact, he must be the one who fulfilled those words!"
"Speaking from my heart."
"I really don't want to be your enemy."
"But if you really block my way now, you are blocking my way out and my way out!"
"It is impossible to retreat."
"It is impossible to retreat in this life."
"Because once you retreat..."
"Me! We! Our Black Fox clan will be doomed to destruction!"
"If it were you..."
"How do you choose?"
With a cold light in her eyes, the Black Fox Empress, whose strength had reached the peak of the Great Demon Emperor, questioned the golden figure with a somewhat hysterical aura.
to be honest.
She hoped that the other party would let her go.
Even if she signs an unequal treaty, as long as she can pursue the fluctuation, find the existence that can threaten her and kill that existence, she can honestly accept this unequal treaty or... What harsh conditions.
pity.
For this golden figure, it was absolutely impossible for him to let this super powerful being continue to carry out her death-seeking plan, let alone let the world be buried with this death-seeking thing.
and...
"If I really put myself in someone else's shoes, I would choose to sacrifice myself, even the entire Aolai Nation, and even the world we live in now, in exchange for a favor."
There was no fluctuation in his tone, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. Just hearing it would make people feel chilling.
But when facing the great existence of a higher level...
What can he do?
not to mention...
The tiny traces left by the great existence he observed that day actually surpassed the existence that created him, and even surpassed this fragmented and extremely mysterious world!
In other words.
No one can beat it.
Including the world itself.
Among the known conditions, the most outrageous and strange thing is that it is not actually why the great being chose this world, nor is it the human being who was sent into this world...
Rather, how did he do it, and be able to observe the subtle traces left by that great being!
Logically speaking.
He shouldn't be watching!
His strength is not up to the level of observation!
And once you observe...
That can only prove that the great existence is warning or deterring him to prevent him from acting rashly or acting wantonly.
It might even be...
Force him to stop that plan!
But can that plan be stopped?
The answer is obviously flexibility.
And once his plan is forced to stop, then this life form created by accident should not continue to use that thin plan.
not to mention...
She and she are actually one!
It's just that one represents the positive and the other is forced to represent the negative. Just like the eternal yin and yang between heaven and earth, it cannot be changed.
perhaps.
Only by facing yourself squarely can you find the glimmer of hope in a desperate situation!
therefore.
To be honest, he actually felt that the black fox in front of him was quite pitiful. It was deprived of the right to choose its destiny from the moment it was divided.
But in front of the strong...
Everyone is equally pitiful!
How could he, a poor man who had been forced to stop his long-planned plan, have the right to pity another humble poor man?
He didn't even dare to do point-to-point protection.
I'm just afraid of offending that great being.
therefore...
"In order for me to survive safely, I have no choice but to ask you to die!"
There was no hesitation in his words.
Some are just the sorrow of the weak.
A sudden disturbance will cause the weak to feel unfounded panic. Apart from sadness, there is no more suitable adjective.
But this is a fact that every weak person must accept!
only...
For the Black Fox Empress, she chose not to accept this fact; what's more, she was not stupid enough to sneak into the country herself!
At present, what she can do, and the only thing she can do, is to hold back the third young master of the proud country here, and to hold him back at all costs.
after all...
She can switch consciousness at will among her clones!
certainly.
The Black Fox Empress never imagined that there would be a special Black Fox clone that silently broke away from her shackles during the battle ten years ago!
But for Lu Yuan, who was in the Southern Kingdom and within the Southern King's City, he used the black fox that he had kept in captivity for ten years to catch an extremely special fish.
In the bamboo forest, there was no one around Lu Yuan. He just picked up the teapot alone and stood on the highest bamboo tip, caressing the teapot in his hand unhurriedly, and then He sighed lightly:
"I finally let it in..."
have to say.
The idea of the Black Fox Empress was very successful.
It's a pity that her vision is really bad.
But to allow the third young master of Aolai Country to take the blame, I have to say that this is indeed a very fulfilling plan.
But such a plan...
Finally, I made a wedding dress for a special being!
Thin clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky.
The originally bright moonlight dimmed quietly, and along with the erosion of the shadows, it persisted precariously.
And the moment the shadow appeared, a well-hidden black energy came to Lu Yuan's feet as the shadow spread, and with lightning speed, it instantly ran up the bamboo. , and rushed towards Lu Yuan's face.
"It's getting more and more outrageous!"
The black air, which was thicker than this mass of black energy, blocked Lu Yuan's front and swallowed up the sudden attack without any resistance. Immediately, Lu Yuan's dissatisfied scolding disappeared.
The moonlight shines again.
Her graceful figure was highlighted in an extremely seductive way. This girl with fox ears and dark purple pupils seemed to want to express her sincerity in this way. However, at the next moment, she was struck by a dazzling thunder light. Hit with a harsh sound.
to be honest.
This fox-eared girl really didn't expect that the first person she saw after pursuing the fluctuations would be able to hurt her!
That's right!
It hurt her who was invisible and insubstantial!
This was originally an impossibility.
But it just happened!
Fortunately...
Their black foxes have never been fatal. It is undoubtedly impractical to use the weaknesses of ordinary people to attack the weaknesses of their black foxes.
so...
Why was she really hurt?
Walking out of the shadows again, the dark-skinned fox-eared girl moved without any pretense, touched her heart with lingering fear, and then asked with a bit of coquettishness and dissatisfaction:
"Why do you hit me!"
It was beyond her expectation.
This time, her opponent did not answer her question, but looked at her genuine and unpretentious performance with a joking look in her eyes.
For an actor, the biggest humiliation is not to criticize his acting skills, but to directly ignore all his performances.
At this moment, she was actually in this embarrassing situation.
certainly.
This does not mean that her skills are not good enough.
The main reason was that she met a mute. Even if she wanted to seduce the mute, she couldn't do it because the other person didn't talk to her.
And the only good news right now...
It's just that the other party didn't attack her again!
so...
"Who are you!"
The dissatisfaction and coquettishness on her face subsided, and even the playful smile disappeared. With a hint of unprecedented solemnity, the shadow-like fox-eared girl asked quietly.
She originally thought that this time, the mute opposite would not answer, but the development of the matter once again exceeded her expectations.
"My name is Lu Yuan."
"And you?"
The concise introduction and concise rhetorical questions allowed the fox-eared girl, who was accustomed to reading people's hearts, to subconsciously analyze the character of the human being in front of her.
Unfortunately, this is of no use.
Faced with the current impasse, the only thing she can do is to answer this human's question, then find out whether this human knows about their existence, and finally kill the existence of the black fox that captured them!
to be honest.
The fox-eared girl didn't want to carry out this plan.
The risks are simply too great.
But so far...
It seems like she was the only one who managed to sneak in? ? ?
By the way...
How many of her kind, and even how many clones of the Empress, did that stinky monkey kill on the border of the Southern Kingdom to ensure that no other Black Fox Empress would enter the circle except for her, an alien species?
The black fox girl didn't know.
Don't want to know either.
She only knows...
She wants to survive!
so...
It doesn't matter what orders the main body gives, she just hopes to retain her own consciousness, and retain her consciousness as a brand new black fox empress!
And all of this is not what she, a mere demon king, can do; perhaps, only by finding a knowledgeable and reliable partner can she be able to transform herself into the new Black Fox Empress!
She is also the ultimate Black Fox Empress!
have to say.
This black fox girl has great ambitions.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan liked this kind of ambitious creature very much.
after all...
Having sufficient ambition naturally means having sufficient motivation; and when having sufficient motivation, it naturally means that it can be utilized and is a valuable existence.
especially...
"You are really special."
"It seems that I want to apologize for the existence I just condemned in my words."
Nodding calmly, Lu Yuan took out a red rune from the teapot in his hand with a slight twist of his fingertips. Along with a burst of black energy, a clear voice rang out again:
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a name."
"Now..."
"It's time to show me your sincerity!"
"A...sincerity that allows me not to kill you!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
ps: Why does the black fox curse? The reason is that anyone who is thrown into a small dark room and locked up for ten years, and the only one who can speak is the enemy, will probably curse.
