Summer has passed and autumn has come, the weather is refreshing, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. During this period of time, Huanhua never came to the door of Xuanji Pavilion again. Qi Jue missed her in her heart, but she felt comforted by thinking that her lover was busy writing in a quiet corner.
In the early morning, someone came to the door, carrying a familiar fragrance. Qi Jue's nerves immediately became tense, his heart was pounding, and his breathing became rapid.
Huanhua is dressed in a snow-white robe, and she is breathtakingly beautiful. It turns out that longing is like a pot of aged wine, which becomes more mellow as time goes by. Qi Jue stood motionless, his soul wandering to the sky.
"What are you doing standing still? I want to check the secret correspondence of my seniors and look for useful clues."
Qi Jue calmed down and hurriedly took her to a corner. All kinds of letters were neatly placed, but they were quite old. Huanhua picked out a pile and came to her own little world. Everything was as usual, and the fragrant tea was served.
She read it carefully for a moment and called Qi Jue, "Why are there no words in these letters? Is it because you didn't keep them well and the handwriting faded?"
Qi Jue took a closer look and said, "There is a spy's wax seal on it. The content is secret. The text can only be revealed after being washed with special potion."
"You stay with books every day, and you have gained a lot of knowledge! Where is the formula for the potion?"
"I only know a little bit about this. Miss, you can ask Master Xiao. He is in charge of the spy hall and must be proficient in this."
Huanhua rolled her eyes at him, stood up and walked away.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon was shining brightly, and all the mansions and courtyards were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively. Murong Hao suddenly broke into Xuanji Pavilion, "No, Huanhua is gone."
Qi Jue was startled and the whisk in his hand almost slipped.
"She has an engagement with the Sun family. If word gets out, something might happen. So I keep the news strictly sealed."
"I thought of a place where the young lady might go. Don't worry, young master, Jue will definitely bring her back with the jade intact."
The next day, Qi Jue left the house and embarked on a long journey.
It was raining lightly that day, and he slowed down his pace. A majestic manor on the side of the road attracted his attention. As he passed by, the vermilion gate opened, and a servant in green came out and saluted him: "My master has given instructions. Sir, you are tired and have specially prepared wine and food. Please come to the manor to have a meal and rest."
"May I ask your master's name?"
The servant smiled and said, "Sir, you will know it when you see it!"
Qi Jue was curious. He had made many friends while traveling in China. Who is this?
He followed the servant into the main hall. The candlelight was bright, the sandalwood was curling, and a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas was placed in the middle. The aroma was alluring.
"The master has asked you to have your meal first. After that, he will personally talk to the master."
Qi Jue was hungry and would not spare this table of delicacies. He chewed and devoured it, and soon he was full. The servant removed the remains of the soup and presented the incense. Qi Jue took a sip and waited for the mysterious master to appear.
After a moment, there was a cough outside, and a young man came in through the curtain. This man was richly dressed and had an extraordinary aura, but he was quite faceless.
Qi Jue stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Thanks for the hospitality, may I ask your surname?"
The man smiled: "The Murong family really took in a monster. It's really strange and rare. They say you can predict the future, but it seems like that's all."
Qi Jue was surprised, "Are you Sun Xuan, the fourth son of the Sun family in Guanzhong?"
"It turns out that you have lost your true energy and your powers have been weakened." Sun Xuan turned and looked out the window: "Murong Huanhua and I have a marriage contract. She fled for no reason. It will damage the reputation of my Sun family. I can't turn a blind eye."
Seeing that the Sun family was so well-informed, Qi Jue no longer concealed it, "Miss Huanhua just lost her temper and left home. She was not running away from the marriage. I will take her back soon on the orders of the family master."
"Then tell me where Huanhua is hiding?"
Qi Jue muttered, "You are not married yet, she belongs to Murong, so I don't dare to trouble the young master!"
Sun Xuan was angry and stretched out his robe sleeves, "Everyone has said that you have some evil thoughts about Miss, and it seems to be true. I am doing this to get rid of you and avoid future troubles. Tell me the whereabouts of Huanhua, I’ll give you a good time.”
Qi Jue's face was as sinking as water and he didn't move.
Sun Xuan smiled proudly and said: "This sandalwood contains my Sun family's unique secret medicine 'Wood Eclipse Powder', which is specially designed to deal with wood-type demons. You can't use any magic power now."
So Qi Jue was imprisoned in the dungeon, and was questioned every day, but he dealt with it calmly and remained silent. January passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather was getting colder. Through the small window of the dungeon, the scenery outside was bleak, and it was already early winter.
On this day, someone reported to Sun Xuan: "I just received a tip from Murong Villa. Miss Huanhua still hasn't returned. The village has tightly blocked the news and sent several groups of people to search, but still to no avail."
"How's that goblin doing?"
"We gave him 'Wood Eclipse Powder' to drink every day, but the demon endured the pain of eclipse and still refused to reveal the whereabouts of the young lady."
Sun Xuanyi frowned, "Did you all see him drink the medicine?"
"He is very obedient. I see him finish drinking it with my own eyes every time. Young Master, is our dose of medicine too strong? Now the whole dungeon smells of medicine."
Sun Xuan thought for a while and suddenly realized: "You idiot, he drank the medicine to paralyze you, and then spit it out. When the medicine's power wears off, his magic power may be restored at any time..."
In Jinling in winter, there is continuous drizzle. Xingrui was bored and playing the piano on the high pavilion. The sad sound of the piano echoed in the hazy air.
She suddenly stopped playing the piano and sighed: "You are finally here!"
Qi Jue appeared from the curtain, "Did you know I was coming?"
"Huanhua said when she left that you would definitely come to her. What happened? She cried all night when I mentioned you."
Qi Jue's heart suddenly hurt, and he forcibly changed the topic: "Where did the lady go?"
"Huanhua left a month ago. Where did she go? She didn't say. But she left something for you."
Xingrui took out a brocade box, which contained the secret book obtained from Xue Buhuo. Qi Jue flipped through it slowly and stopped at the last blank page.
"Xue Buhuo, you're still making trouble even though you're dead!"
Prepare the developer, apply it on it, and slowly reveal a few lines of text: "Little girl Murong, so what if you win against someone? The demon world is so big, beyond your imagination. The Sea of Destruction Paradise Island, a place outside the law , they are mostly vicious monsters, do you have the courage to break in?"
"I heard from my ancestors that there is a group of lawless thugs on Miehai Paradise Island. They are cruel and cunning, and are even talked about in the demon world. Xue Buhuo wants to get rid of Huanhua with the help of others."
Qi Jue stood up immediately, and Xingrui suddenly grabbed her sleeve, "She likes you, please take her away to the end of the world, and don't go back to that prison again."
A few days later, in the Demon World's Paradise Island, there was a small town along the coast, the night was dark and the lights were bright. In a tavern, there were only a few customers.
"Brother, we are short of money recently, so hurry up and do something!"
The leader had a beard, ringed eyes, and a ferocious face. He raised his hand and hit the younger brother on the head, "Who on Paradise Island is not a tough guy? If you have money, save it and don't lose your life by messing around." The younger brother was obedient and did not dare to say anything more.
Another person said: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true. There has been a lot of unrest recently. That female demon conqueror is super powerful. She has killed many masters from the East Island to the West Island. She has defeated many masters. We should be more careful."
The eldest brother rolled his eyes at him and said, "With your little moral skills, you can't stand anyone's eyes."
While they were talking, a young man in black clothes stood at the table. He was full of wine and food. He raised his hand and threw a silver coin to the waiter, "Check out!"
The waiter bared his teeth and said, "Sir, this is too much. It's hard to make change."
"Give me another five pounds of air-dried beef, and I'll reward you with the rest."
Qi Jue left the tavern, with few stars above his head. He strode quickly, turned the corner, and was surrounded by three black figures silently.
The leader is the big-eyed man just now, holding a long knife, looking like a fierce man, "Boy, didn't your mother teach you not to show off your wealth? Now that I've delivered it to your door, I'll spare your life."
Qi Jue sneered, "You are really hungry, so aren't you afraid that the hard food will bite your teeth?"
The younger brother swung the sharp blade and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you chop it with a few knives, the money stained with blood will still be spent."
The three people flew over, but Qi Jue didn't move. Countless black vines sprouted from the ground, binding the three people tightly. The evil man who had been so aggressive just now was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again. Qi Jue didn't even raise his eyelids. He twisted his fingertips lightly, and the black vine turned into a sharp blade, piercing the eldest brother and the younger brother into hedgehogs.
One person was left, his liver and gallbladder were broken, he forgot to ask for mercy, and he was dumbfounded. Qi Jue looked at him closely and said, "Tell me everything about the female demon conqueror. If you hide anything, they will be your role models..."
The next day and night, Murong Huanhua stood on the edge of the cliff. There are waves of waves in front of you, and there are rocks all around, like a maze. The person she made an appointment with was Long Ao, who had a bad reputation. He invited her here late at night. He didn't seem to be a gentleman or a moral person.
She has no fear in the long wind. Over the years, she has become accustomed to moving forward bravely in the face of dangers.
At this time, footsteps sounded among the rocks, and she immediately tensed up. Her voice was sparse, so she must be alone. Did I make a mistake in my judgment? Is this Long Ao a gentleman?
The closer the footsteps came, the more nervous Huanhua became. She suddenly jumped up and threw herself into the man's arms. "You understood the message I left, and you came to me as expected!" Huanhua sobbed, suddenly turning into a weak little woman.
Qi Jue stroked her long hair gently, he had thousands of words in his heart but didn't know how to say them.
"You finally understand my heart. Let's fly far away and never go back."
Qi Jue's heart was full of tenderness, but reason still prevailed, "Miss..." He called softly, Huanhua's heart was broken, and she wiped away her tears, "As expected, you still want to take me back! But I have an appointment tonight, I must finish the matter."
"No one is coming, Long Ao, I have already cooked for you!" Qi Jue took out a book, and the blood stains on it were particularly conspicuous.
"He is an abandoned disciple of Jinlong. He has become obsessed with martial arts and has become a rare thunder attribute. He is not a good man and a believer. He invited you to come here to the Confused Soul Cliff and secretly gathered his accomplices to use the location to kill you."
"Did you kill him?" Huanhua asked in shock.
There was a hint of coldness in Qi Jue's eyes, "If he wants to do something bad to you, he should have this evil retribution."
"You have changed, you have betrayed Tathagata, and you are still so cold-blooded. Why on earth?"
"I am still me, I just fulfilled my duty as a disciple of Murong. I have done what I have to do and I have said what I have to say. When will Miss go back with me?"
Huanhua didn't answer and left with a puff of sleeves. Qi Jue had no choice but to follow behind. The path winds and soon enters a small town. The streets are lively and the nightlife of the monsters has just begun. When they saw Huanhua, their expressions changed drastically and they retreated away.
"It seems that the young lady has already shocked Paradise Island!"
Huanhua ignored him and continued to move forward. Suddenly, an arrow pierced the night and came towards you...
