When Bai Lian came to the city, he originally wanted to make peace with Qing Xin first and deal with business matters.
But who could have expected that Afutu, who had been sleeping for several years, would wake up at this time.
Bailian looked at it with strange and interesting eyes on the night scene of the city, and couldn't help but smile: "This is the first time for Little Rabbit to come to Shifang City, but he wants to take a walk in the city?"
Balian picked up Afutu in the Valley of Chaos, as an ancient true demon that everyone hated and despised.
It must have been sealed in the valley of chaos since birth, never being able to see the light or the outside world.
Thinking of this, Parian couldn't help but feel filled with sympathy and guilt.
Thinking that the little rabbit had followed him out of the Valley of Chaos, experienced life and death, and trusted him with his life several times, but he had never brought it to live a happy and ordinary life.
Thinking of this place, plus the atmosphere tonight is great.
How could Balian be willing to ignore the docile, well-behaved and sensible little rabbit and go take care of his own affairs first.
Afutu squatted on Bailian's shoulder with a cute and docile look on his face, and his soft little paws were considerate and careful to smooth his hair that had been messed up by Shu Ci.
But his eyes fell on the candied carrots and some fresh fruits on the candy snack stalls.
Among the human fireworks at night, the fragrance floats from afar and is very pleasant.
Balian chuckled, walked over, bought a bag of candied fruits and vegetables, stuffed it into Afutu's arms and let her eat it slowly.
Afutu hung the small bag containing candied fruits and vegetables around his neck.
Two paws held a carrot, and its three-petal mouth clicked and moved rapidly.
After eating the carrots, both paws were covered with sugar juice, sticky, and the hair on the paws was sticky.
It looked at its little paws in distress, and then a chuckle came from its ears.
Balian tilted his head slightly, held his rabbit's paw to his mouth, and helped him gently lick the candy stains on his paw clean.
Afutu felt the soft and moist feeling on the pads of his paws, and his head turned away unconsciously.
There was a trace of imperceptible shyness hidden in the red eyes.
Shu Ci's original position has been occupied, which made Balian unhappy again.
Even though the right shoulder was still free, he had no intention of letting her sit on it.
The nails on the claws were trimmed cleanly again, leaving nothing left to hook onto Balian's clothes and climb up.
He could only use it as a pendant and tightly hugged Balian's thighs with all four limbs to avoid being left in the inn.
How pitiful and miserable it looks.
I was already holding back my anger, but then I looked at the warm and affectionate atmosphere between Balian and that stinky rabbit.
Shu Ci didn't know why, but he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.
There were bursts of shouts on the long street, and Shu Ci went out in search of reputation.
I saw an old woman selling goods under an open-air shed. She was painting warm syrup on a smooth plate and fastening it with wooden skewers.
Although the old woman was old, her hands were very dexterous. She painted kittens, puppies, and foxes of different shapes with syrup, which were so vivid that many children gathered around and rushed to buy them.
Shu Ci's eyes were immediately attracted to the child who was buying a fox-shaped candy man, and he secretly stretched out his paws to reach for the candy man in his hand.
Although the child was born with a tough head and a tough brain, and was not very old, he was very alert.
He immediately sensed the 'danger' and suddenly looked into Shu Ci's evil eyes with a tigerish look and a malicious look on his face.
He felt excited all over and quickly took the candy man in his hand into his arms.
Shu Ci has such a domineering temperament. Before he took the position of the Lord of the Demon River, he had a bad way of bullying men and dominating treasures.
Now that the fox has fallen into Pingyang, a mere mortal child dares to refuse her request.
Shu Ci's canine teeth were raised, sharp and fierce, and his vicious fox eyes were full of threats.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The child was frightened by Shu Ci's fierce gaze, and the little candy man in his hand was frightened.
He fell into his mother's arms and burst into tears.
Shu Ci was stunned for a moment, thinking, is this little human doll trying to get into trouble?
Why did she start crying before she even touched him.
It is true that humans, regardless of size, are equally annoying to demons.
That little sugar man would rather throw it away before he cried than ask for it according to my wishes. He is really hateful and has evil thoughts.
The child's frightened cries made a loud noise. The child's mother anxiously protected her child and looked at Bailian reproachfully.
"Sir, can't you take good care of your pets?
I really don’t know how a gadget that can be trampled to death with just one foot can be so aggressive and aggressive. It scares my children! "
pet?
A gadget that can be crushed to death with one kick?
Shu Ci only felt that his dignity had been greatly humiliated.
The facial features on the fox's face shifted instantly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Looking at that look, it seemed that he wanted to tear the woman's bones apart alive.
"Ouch! Look how fierce this little thing is? His eyes are almost cannibalistic."
Balian frowned, picked up the little fox from his lap, and flicked her exposed canine teeth hard with his fingers.
The strength of his hand was not weak at all, and stars appeared in Shuci's eyes when he played it.
He scolded: "If I had known you were so restless, I shouldn't have brought you out in the first place."
Shuci just wanted a little sugar man, but was scolded again for no reason.
Unlike that stinky rabbit, he gave me whatever he asked for, and the snacks and flower bracelets he made along the way were never broken.
She bit down on the back of Balian's hand angrily, her teeth were sharp, and in an instant, there were holes in it, and blood gushed out.
The woman was frightened again: "Hey, Master, this dog you are raising is probably rabid. It only scares children, but it even bites its own owner."
The child had not been coaxed yet, but when he saw Shuci's bloody look, he was so frightened that he cried even louder.
Balian frowned even more tightly, seeing that she was so unreasonable and stubborn, there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
A Futu saw that his palm was bitten with blood, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his red eyes, but he suppressed it and did not have an attack.
Instead, he took out a few small tomato candies from his small paper bag, padded them with soft pink paw pads, and handed them to the child who was crying so hard that his nose was blistered.
Children naturally like to be close to soft and gentle animals.
Seeing that white and cute little rabbit, innocent and harmless, and very humane, teasing him with a small fruit, I suddenly felt strange.
I forgot to cry for a moment, looked at it with my big eyes, and stupidly took the little fruit.
Comparing these two, one is extremely innocent and sensible, while the other has an extremely bad temper and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.
The difference between high and low should not be too clear.
Bailian expressionlessly took Shu Ci's canine teeth out of his palm.
He took out a few taels of silver from his arms, bought three small candies and handed them to the woman.
The woman was not a philistine. After seeing her child being coaxed by the little rabbit who only had spiritual energy, she didn't think much about it.
After politely declining Balian's money and only accepting the candy man, he took his children to the night market.
Shu Ci watched helplessly as Balian bought three little sugar figures and gave them to other people's children.
It was as if a sharp knife had cut her heart deeply and shallowly, making her feel unspeakable grievance and sadness.
She couldn't understand that her current mood was the jealousy of a child.
In her two-tailed form, her mind was far less mature and strong than in her young girl form, and tears quickly poured into her eyes.
Shu Ci had the urge to turn around and leave, never paying attention to him again.
But before she could make up her mind to really abandon him and leave, Balian let go of her hand and let her fall to the ground.
Shu Ci's heart also felt empty, and he raised his big head blankly.
He looked at Bai Lian bandaging his bloody palm with a calm and indifferent look.
For some reason, Shu Ci panicked.
She hurriedly raised her paws to try to hook Balian's trouser legs, and called out softly twice.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lian ignored her and walked away.
Shu Ci's nails had just been cut, and her claws could only touch the floating hem of his clothes, but they couldn't hook them even slightly, allowing him to slide away.
Looking at the back that was getting further away without looking back, Shu Ci stared blankly, forgetting to catch up for a moment.
For some reason, compared to the usual angrily scolding, Bai Lian bluntly told her to leave.
She was able to not care at all and stick to it all the way shamelessly.
He didn't say anything serious at the moment, but she felt as if she had really become a little pet he kept, accidentally biting its owner, and finally being ruthlessly abandoned in the sea of people.
Shu Ci's chest felt tight and heavy for a moment, as if a bone was stuck in his throat.
A pair of fox ears also slowly collapsed, and the hair was lost, but my heart felt empty.
…
…
After what happened, Bailian had no intention of continuing to play with Afutu.
I thought that the big-breasted fox was just greedy for sex and a bit impatient.
But he doesn't have any evil intentions, so he is different from other unreasonable monsters.
But tonight, when I looked at her again, I found that her temper was not impatient, but violent. She could not even tolerate a small child.
It's not that Bai Lian was angry because Shu Ci bit him, but he clearly felt it clearly just now.
The little demon clearly had some murderous intentions towards the little child.
If he continues to keep her by his side and pamper her, it is inevitable that her bad habits will be hard to change in the future and she will develop an arrogant and cold-blooded temperament.
For now, I'll let her go and let her realize where she went wrong.
Bypassing the bustling capital night market, Bailian came to a remote and slightly deserted tavern.
Pushing open the bamboo door, he took down the seven lanterns hanging under the eaves in front of the tavern courtyard. After taking down the third lantern, he walked towards the main hall.
Crossing the doorstep, there were not many people drinking in the tavern. There were three people sitting in each of the southeast and southeast corners. There was a jar of freshly brewed flower and fruit wine in front of the table, but they were sitting upright and not drinking.
He doesn't look like a drinker.
In the middle of the main hall of the tavern, there was a woman sitting who was pouring herself a drink. The woman was wearing a blue-grey gauze robe, and her movements showed the unique aristocratic temperament of Shifang City.
Her eyebrows were graceful and cold, and she was sitting quietly, with a slim waist, a straight posture, and her eyes were as clear as water.
It's clearly located in such a small tavern, but it doesn't look like a human being.
Her eyes were looking towards Bai Lian from afar, and her eyes seemed to contain deep meaning.
Balian felt an invisible cold wind blowing in his face, and the green wick fire in his hand was blown and then extinguished.
The light in the tavern was a little dim, and Balian stopped. After the green lamp in his hand was extinguished, his cold white and handsome face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
The woman in the tavern looked at Bailian carefully from beginning to end for a long time, and she couldn't tell what the meaning was in her cold eyes.
After a moment, she spoke quietly, with a light and clear voice: "Young Master has come from afar. I have a glass of wine here. I wonder if I can treat you with a favor."
Bailian put down the extinguished lantern in his hand and said calmly: "As far as I know, the girl doesn't seem to be the owner of this tavern."
The woman raised her eyes as deep as gems, nodded lightly and said, "I know that this tavern is a newly opened stronghold of your Demon Alliance."
Bailian pursed his lips: "Where is Qingxin?"
"Don't worry, she is fine. Although our positions are different, there is no need for me to kill her. So..."
The woman made an inviting gesture towards Bai Lian: "Can you please take a seat now, sir?"
Balian's eyes moved slightly, but he did not refuse her invitation and sat down at the wine table.
He picked up the glass of wine, bowed to the woman, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you for this glass of wine, girl, for being merciful to Qingxin."
The woman watched Balian drink a glass of cold wine. Although her expression remained unchanged, a faint blush quickly appeared on her face.
It was obvious that he couldn't drink enough, and drinking alcohol affected his face.
Seeing this, the woman with a cold temperament actually smiled slightly and said: "Young Master's ability to drink is similar to that of an old friend of mine."
Balian gently twirled the wine glass with his fingers and said, "Does the puppet also miss old friends?"
The smile on the woman's face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes suddenly became frightening.
Balian glanced around and said, "It seems that these six guards of the girl are not human beings, but puppets from Shifang City, right?"
The woman was obviously a very deep-seated person, and the coldness in her eyes faded away and turned into a calm tone: "Their code name is 'Sui Xing'."
"Code name... Sui Xing?"
The woman said: "Shifang City began to experiment with the puppet mecha technique more than ten years ago, trying to create a puppet with self-awareness.
Such puppets have always been the biggest secret in Shifang City. Once they are born, in order to distinguish them easily, each generation of puppets will be given a nickname for each batch of puppets born. "
Balian was shocked by Shifangcheng's ambition. He slowly put down his wine glass, "So, the girl should be their senior."
"Not talented." The woman's eyes were cold: "I am the first generation puppet, and I am called 'Yinghuo'."
"Name? Doesn't the girl have a name?"
"Puppets don't need names. If you insist on distinguishing them for convenience, you can call me 'Ninety-Nine'."
Ninety-nine……
It's more like a cold digital code than a name.
However, although the woman in front of her said she was 'Yinghuo', she had a different self-awareness from other puppets.
But...it's limited to 'self-awareness'.
Through those impurity-free eyes like gems, Balian could not see her 'original heart'.
No emotional changes were observed.
Even the cold eyes just now were just a mechanical way of expression.
Although her appearance is indistinguishable from humans.
Even compared to Balian, she is more like a human being. Her breathing, heartbeat, and pulse are all that of a human being.
Compared with the six age-old stars who don't drink, she looks more perfect, and naturally more powerful.
At this moment, Bai Lian can be completely sure about the puppet woman who calls herself Ninety-nine.
She comes from Shifang City, but at this moment, she is definitely not used by Shifang City!
