In the past few days, Xingheng always left early and came back late, and he didn't see him very often.
Compared with the palaces of other princes and princesses, his yard is not big. The only special thing is the small lake in the center of the backyard. The lake was crystal clear and did not freeze in such weather. It must have been maintained with a magical weapon.
I guess he is a shark, so he must like water very much.
The sunset blooms into gorgeous flowers in the sky, as if the sun has melted and been crushed into every cloud.
There is an extremely spectacular lilac tree next to the lake. Its branches stretch wildly toward the horizon, and its shadow covers most of the lake. Its huge body cannot even bloom a single decent flower in this cold weather. Axi couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and waved his hand to perform a simple magic trick. In an instant, small purple flowers covered the entire branches in groups, surrounding the entire tree like mist. It was beautiful, dreamy and mysterious.
This is decent.
There are not many servants in the courtyard, but it feels a bit like living in a cold palace in the past. Axi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers and transformed a rattan swing under the tree.
I have long read in books that swings are girls’ favorite way to relax. Now that I have tried it myself, I am really happy, hehe.
While he was in high spirits, he suddenly felt help coming from behind. Axi turned around in surprise and said, "Why are you back so early?"
"I didn't know that Madam did a lot of things here while I was away." Xingheng said with a smile in his tone, pushing the swing with gentle force.
"You...you don't mind, do you?" Hearing his address, Axi was a little stunned. He lowered his head and fiddled with the hem of his clothes. Suddenly he remembered that this was not a cold palace. He was a little at a loss and said: "I'm sorry, I... I...modified your yard without your consent..."
"Flowers can't grow in the north." Xingheng was not angry. He protected her with one hand and stopped the swing with the other hand. He squatted in front of Axi, looked at her seriously, and said slowly. : "This lilac tree has been kept alive by my demonic power. It has been very difficult for it to survive for so many years. But today, it bloomed."
His eyes were full of inquiry, and he couldn't hide the curiosity in his tone: "Can you tell me why this is?"
"I..." A Xi was at a loss what to do with him, her eyes were panicked and she wanted to escape.
"Can't you tell me?" Seeing her hesitation, Xingheng didn't pursue it. "It doesn't matter. Everyone has secrets. Let's talk about it later when we want to."
Fortunately, he didn't ask further questions, as he really couldn't think of a suitable answer.
"Thank you, Xingheng." Axi looked back at him gratefully, and her affection for him deepened in her heart.
"If you like it, you can do whatever you want with the yard." He patted Axi's head and smiled helplessly, "This is your home too."
This is your home too.
I chewed this sentence over and over in my heart, and felt a hint of sweetness. Looking at his smile, Axi felt as if a deer had quietly bumped into her heart.
A child who has lived in dire straits and been bullied since he was a child, but still has a smile on his face all the time, is polite, and respects others, must be very strong and perseverant in his heart.
A Xi secretly admired it.
It seems that the Monster Clan also has a lot worth learning about.
"I haven't seen you these days. What are you busy with?" Seeing Xingheng preparing to enter the house, Axi followed him. She took his cloak and poured him a cup of freshly brewed osmanthus tea.
"There has been movement in the underwater dragon cave in Yaohai recently. I am afraid that a treasure is about to be born. That is the territory of the ancient dragon clan. The dragon clan was almost wiped out in the war a thousand years ago. Everyone covets the treasure in the dragon cave." The steaming heat With the warm fragrance of tea filling the whole room, Xingheng nodded in approval of her tea, and then continued: "I know you are not an ordinary person, but since you married me, I will not doubt it for no reason. Your identity and purpose, so it doesn’t hurt to tell you.”
After a pause, he raised his eyes and stared at her, the sincerity in his tone not seeming to be false: "If you are interested in something, I can help you get it."
Yaohai? The territory of the Dragon Clan? Then why did the leader of the Sharman tribe appear next to me when I woke up?
A Xi was in a daze for a moment, with some vague impressions in her mind.
It seems that the sharks have been living in the Silent Moon Sea for generations, and they are separated from the distant sea by five mountains. How could they appear in the remote sea for no reason?
The war a thousand years ago almost wiped out all the dragon clan, but why didn't I remember it at all? Such a big thing shouldn't be forgotten at all. Was he still asleep at that time? How long have you slept?
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from Axi's palms.
"Yi'an. Yi'an? What's wrong with you?" Seeing her abnormal expression, Xingheng tried to call her. Seeing that she didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing." Axi came back to his senses and shook his head quickly, "I don't want anything, it's just the first time I heard about such a place, so I'm a little curious. By the way, will you go? Dragon Cave will Is there any danger?"
Speaking of which, the Dragon Clan is also the royal mount of the God Clan. It is good at fighting and brave. It is the divine beast that leads all demons. Axi still remembers this. It seems that it was precisely because of the decline of the dragon clan that the various demon clans dispersed and established themselves as kings.
"My father has summoned all our adult princes and princesses to go with him, except His Highness." Xing Heng did not hide anything from her, "He is not in good health, as you have seen."
Recalling the constant coughing of His Highness on the day he entered the palace for the banquet, Axi nodded.
The Dragon Clan should have many artifacts and magic weapons. After all, they were once such a glorious race. As for the Dragon Cave, I'm afraid it's not a place that everyone can go to. It's not that simple.
After thinking for a moment, Axi asked: "What do you want to get in there?"
"My father has never revealed anything, and I don't know either. It's probably some kind of magical weapon." Xing Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Are you interested?"
Axi shook his head like a rattle. He always felt that the Dragon Cave was not that simple. He frowned and asked carefully: "Then, can I come with you?"
His brothers and sisters didn't have many good things to do. If he really encountered any danger in that place, he was afraid that he would be the first to be sacrificed.
Inappropriate or inappropriate.
"Why come with me if you don't have what you want? As a mortal, you might not be able to protect yourself if you go to a place like that." Xing Heng didn't seem to agree with her suggestion.
Axi was a little anxious, thinking about how to explain, and said stammeringly: "Actually, I know how to do some small... small magic. I, I am just interested in magic, and I learned a little... to get started. I I’m not here to cultivate immortality, I’m just...interested. Well, I, I can protect myself. Just...just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just... I don't know how to attack with magic..." A Xi lowered her head in embarrassment, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
How embarrassing! A god like Dangdang can't even perform a simple attack spell.
"Then you still want to go?"
"I...I...I'm not..."
I am not worried about you...
With this thought in his mind, Axi lowered his head.
"Are you worried about me?" Xingheng looked sideways at the lilacs blooming in the yard, then looked at her head that was about to be buried in his chest, smiling meaningfully.
Ever since he could remember, his world had been white and colorless. It wasn't until his mother-in-law passed away that his world became a bright red.
When his mother was around, the warm wind could occasionally blow into his heart.
He can resist the cold eyes of others and the torture of life with this warmth, allowing him to survive these pains.
After his mother left, he truly felt the coldness of the north.
No suffering can surpass this pain, so those sufferings can no longer hurt him.
As a mermaid, he has never even lived in the sea. All he had was this small lake and this tree that never bloomed.
There were no bright flowers blooming in the north, so he also tried using demonic power to make lilac trees bloom. But no, the flowers nourished by demonic power will bloom without any color. The bone-eroding snow will soon knock the flowers off the branches, and return to a state of decay.
He has never seen spring.
But here she is. This gray courtyard suddenly became colorful.
There are too many secrets in her body, and keeping her by her side may not be the best idea.
However, who doesn’t yearn for spring?
Xingheng looked at her, with emotions in his eyes that Axi couldn't understand. His tone was gentle, like the warm wind of his hometown. His smile remained unchanged and he compromised: "If you want to go, then come with me. If anything happens, hide behind me and protect yourself."
"Really?" Axi burst out into a smile, and jumped up happily after receiving his affirmative reply.
Being able to go to the Dragon Cave might bring back some past memories. Just in time, it can also protect Xingheng. Kill two birds with one stone.
"So, are you really worried about me?" Xingheng gave a playful smile, waiting for her answer.
Axi's face suddenly turned red again.
"I, I didn't!" Axi retorted subconsciously. Axi nervously searched for words in her head. She couldn't explain the strange emotions in her heart. Even her tone became urgent: "I, I read in the book that if the husband dies, If you die, the woman will become a widow!"
Like a drowning person suddenly grasping at straws, Axi suddenly gained confidence: "I just don't want to be a widow! Well, that's right! Not a widow!"
Hearing this, Xingheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and smiled lowly: "What are you thinking about all day long in your little head?" He habitually reached out and patted her head and continued: "Read less of those books. .”
What are those books?
Axi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. This is a superficial man who learns the knowledge of the world and does not read books.
Oh no, male goblin.
"You have to prepare yourself these days. We will set off in about three days." Xingheng picked up the cloak and put it on before preparing to go out. "I still have to discuss some specific matters with the third princess. I may come back very late, so there is no need to wait. I."
"Okay, you can go." Axi had become accustomed to him going out early and coming back late these days, so he nodded naturally.
"That's right." Xingheng walked to the door and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said, "I saw that you have been wearing those sets of clothes these past few days, so I ordered someone to make a few pieces for you. The size is about the same." I made it for your old clothes. The size should be suitable. I will send it to you later. I don’t know if you like it. If you have the style you want, you can also tell the person who will send the clothes later. Next time I’ll make it for you again.”
Unexpectedly, he would pay attention to this. Ah Xi felt a little excited in her heart. She responded to him with a smile several times and watched him go away before entering the house.
Star balance.
She recited the name silently in her heart, as if there was an invisible hand scratching at her heart, unable to rest for a moment.
