A slightly regretful murmur passed over the rising incense and disappeared, leaving the elegant and unique river-view attic silent for a moment.
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced upward, the corners of his lips curled up slightly:
"Since Your Highness is already here, why don't you come down and have a chat?"
After a moment of silence, a voice like a quiet lake suddenly sounded from the corner of the eaves outside the window edge:
"Third Young Master was able to discover me?"
"Don't underestimate the soul-condensing realm of the innate Taoist body."
"."
Wow——
The white clothes beat the snow, and the sleeves with mysterious cloud patterns floated down to the east window edge of the attic.
A white belt tied the black hair behind her back. She took a step forward, and her long satin-like hair swayed and fell to the ground silently:
"That's right, I am offended by my clumsiness."
Xu Yuan's voice was filled with laughter: "It's not an offense, but I didn't expect that His Highness the Second Highness would actually have the grace to listen to others."
Li Zhaoyuan's eyes were neither sad nor happy, nor annoyed at all, and he said calmly:
"We said goodbye to Hou Ting. We haven't seen each other for several months. I watched the third brother leave, so I came over to see the third young master."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt that Your Highness listens."
Xu Yuan shook his head, without any intention of getting up to greet him. He raised a hand to indicate to the other party to sit opposite him: "As a strong person in the Mortal Transformation Realm, even if there is a closed sound array built into the attic, it should be easy for Li Yunqing and I to listen."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan stared at the other party's deep sword eyes illuminated by the fire lamp:
"So since I have said it, I am not afraid of His Highness hearing it."
Li Zhaoyuan stepped closer, straightened his robes meticulously, leaned over and sat down, smiling slightly:
"That's a pity. I only heard the young master's words of 'what a pity' after the third brother left."
Xu Yuan crossed his legs, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a smile:
"Then, Your Highness, do you want to know why I said that?"
Li Zhaoyuan's sitting posture is graceful and graceful. Even on a comfortable soft couch, he still sits with his back straight:
"If the Third Young Master wants to say something, I will naturally be willing to listen."
Xu Yuan casually picked up a fire peach on the table, took a bite with a "click" sound, chewed it, and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry that Li Yunqing is too smart."
"My third younger brother has been extremely smart since he was a child."
"No no no I mean, he's smarter than smart."
"Oh?" A flash of interest flashed in Li Zhaoyuan's deep eyes.
Xu Yuan swallowed the pulp in his hand in two and three mouthfuls, and wiped the corners of his lips:
"Your Highness, have you heard a word?"
"Appreciate further details."
"All capable people die because of their own abilities."
"."
Li Zhaoyuan's eyes flashed with just the right amount of surprise when he heard this, but he didn't answer.
Xu Yuan played with the moist core, and the core flipped deftly between his fingers:
"Ordinary smart people will fail to recognize themselves because they are smart and stubborn, and then die on the road to pursue something that does not match their own capabilities."
Li Zhaoyuan pondered for a moment, and then his steady low voice sounded:
"So Yun Qing, he could have pursued but gave up. Is this considered smart?"
Xu Yuan shook his head when he heard this and threw the core into the slag bucket:
"Your Highness, are you pretending to be confused again? What I mean is that he can recognize himself."
"I see."
Li Zhaoyuan showed surprise, and then asked softly with some interest:
"Then based on what the Third Young Master sees, does this king recognize me? What about the Young Master himself?"
"I?"
Xu Yuan leaned back on the soft couch and smiled:
"My reputation is known all over the world, but I am just a dandy. As for you, Your Highness?"
"... His steps seem a bit too conservative. With a little help from outside, His Highness should be able to recognize it."
Li Zhaoyuan's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he sighed:
"It's just a pity that no one can provide this help to me for the time being."
Xu Yuan laughed dumbly:
"Your Highness also knows that it is only temporary. Once the time has passed, does Your Highness have a complete plan?"
Li Zhaoyuan stared at the man in front of him and counted his breaths, then shook his head slightly:
"Third Young Master,
"We both know that there is no retreat from this road, so these words seem a bit boring."
Xu Yuan took a deep look at the man in front of him and suddenly said quietly:
"Indeed, any threat to a person who is already prepared to die is ridiculous, but"
"."
Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Under his gaze, Xu Yuan took out a sealed porcelain pot from the Sumeru Ring and placed it gently on the table:
"Your Highness, since you were willing to embark on this road of no retreat, there should be something in this world that makes you care, right?"
The bottom of the porcelain pot has a fire spirit pattern to maintain the temperature inside, and bursts of meaty aroma can be heard from inside.
Li Zhaoyuan clenched his fingertips slightly and looked at Xu Yuan, with an expression on his calm face for the first time:
"Third Young Master, I wonder what is in this porcelain pot?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, and the light of the fire lantern outlined a shadow on his face:
"Does it smell good?"
"."
Li Zhaoyuan stared at Xu Yuan without saying a word, his fingertips under the desk trembling slightly.
Xu Yuan took care of himself and opened the top of the porcelain pot. It was dark inside and no light could enter:
"There are good things in here. I specially brought them back to share with you, Your Highness."
Li Zhaoyuan took a deep breath and said softly:
"The relationship between me and the Third Young Master should not be able to bear such a valuable thing."
"Did I tell you what's in this?"
Xu Yuan glanced at him strangely: "And His Highness's words are obvious. After all, you are also Qingyan's royal brother. We are a family. How can a family not be able to bear this?"
Saying,
Xu Yuan took out a porcelain bowl, held up a porcelain pot with a diameter of about a foot in both hands, and poured the warm soup into it:
"This is what Qingyan and I think of you, my dear brother. I hope you won't refuse."
Crash--
For a moment, the huge attic fell into silence, except for the sound of soup pouring into the bowl.
"Boom!"
After Xu Yuan placed the porcelain pot heavily on the table, he pushed the fragrant soup in front of Li Zhaoyuan:
"This soup is a great tonic. Brother Emperor, even if you are halfway transformed from the mortal world, it should be of great benefit."
Li Zhaoyuan sat on the soft couch, staring at the aroma of meat from the porcelain bowl in front of him, without saying a word.
Xu Yuan sat opposite and looked at the other person's expression.
To be honest, he didn't like people like Li Zhaoyuan.
All his emotions were hidden in his heart, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking, and there was no sense of revenge at all.
For a long time,
Li Zhaoyuan raised his fingers and gently rubbed the porcelain bowl:
"Is this the meat of the original monster beast?"
"good taste."
Xu Yuan praised, took out another piece of white velvet leather from the Sumeru Ring, and placed it on the table:
"The hands of the generals in the army are a little rough, and they are not good enough to peel off the skin. Their heads are gone, and only their bodies are left."
Li Zhaoyuan stared at the snow-white fur for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, took a breath, and spoke calmly:
"Lieutenant general?"
Xu Yuan nodded, tilted his chin, and whispered:
"Brother, you should know that we disappeared together with the Barbarian King, right?"
"I was still in the army when this happened, so I naturally knew about it." Li Zhaoyuan remained silent.
Xu Yuan smiled softly:
"The reason why we disappeared is that this big demon used a rare teleportation ancient treasure to assassinate me and Qingyan. But fortunately, Qingyan and I have a close relationship. After the ancient treasure broke into pieces, we were directly teleported to the Extreme Darkness. land."
Li Zhaoyuan's fingers stroking the porcelain bowl paused for a moment, and he said directly without asking anything about the ancient treasure:
"The people of Gu Yuan are so brave. They dare to assassinate you at this time. So did this monster die under the military formation?"
Xu Yuan suppressed his smile. You know about the assassination and I know about it, but you can't say it clearly. He nodded slightly:
"I don't know if Gu Yuan planned the assassination, but the big demon was injured himself, and it was the Barbarian King who died under the military formation."
Li Zhaoyuan's voice was steady and he whispered:
"Qing Yan's achievement of killing the Barbarian King has been reported back to the Imperial Capital. My father should be very pleased with Long Yan."
"What can you say about that dark, ugly beast of the Barbarian King?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered mysteriously:
"Brother Imperial, everyone in the world talks about the charm of vixens. Only then did I know the charm of Nan Jinxi, the three kings of the fox clan."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan stared into Li Zhaoyuan's eyes with a playful smile on his lips:
"I wonder, brother Huang, have you ever seen the fox demon?"
Li Zhaoyuan's pupils were dark and his expression was not visible:
"I've seen it before."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and grinned:
"There are only a few transformed fox demons in the world. I wonder which one your Highness has seen?"
"Just looking at it from a distance."
"Do you like it?"
"I like it." Li Zhaoyuan's voice remained steady.
Xu Yuan knocked the jade of the porcelain pot on the ruler in front of him:
"I like it too, but it's a pity that Qing Yan is here and I can't see its depth."
Li Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment:
"That's a pity."
"It's not a pity. This fox demon dared to assassinate me and Qing Yan. He certainly wouldn't let him die so easily."
"." Li Zhaoyuan's starry eyes narrowed.
He remembered what Xu Yuan had just said about the military officers.
Xu Yuan shook his head, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled ambiguously:
"What are you thinking about? Nan Jinxi seems to have someone in his heart. He caused us a lot of trouble before he died. It was just physical torture and interrogation."
Saying,
Xu Yuan's tone became slightly more serious:
"Brother Emperor,
"Won't you drink such a nourishing thing?"
"."
The look in Li Zhaoyuan's deep eyes was stern.
Under his spiritual vision, Xu Yuan sensed the huge murderous intent around him.
Upon seeing this, he immediately dissipated his spiritual vision and met his eyes calmly.
Silence suddenly spread in the attic.
Li Zhaoyuan gently picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him with his fingertips, stared at Xu Yuan, drank it all, and put down the porcelain bowl:
"Third Young Master, why don't you enjoy something you cherish so much?"
"."
Xu Yuan shook his head, raised his hand and pressed it on the surface of the porcelain pot, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes, and his fingertips traced it.
The porcelain pot with a diameter of about a foot was directly divided into two parts by a streak of blood, and the upper part was taken away.
After seeing the scene in the porcelain pot, Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't participate in the cooking, and he couldn't cook Yuanchu's physical body.
He gave this fox to Lou Ji to deal with. After all, the Yuanchu Demonic Beast was really beneficial, and he couldn't leave any benefit to Li Zhaoyuan.
But he really didn't expect that the old aunt would directly kill people and stew the whole pot.
In the porcelain pot,
It is a skinned meat fox wrapped in many spices.
Retains its original appearance.
Gently pushing it in front of Li Zhaoyuan, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Brother, you prepared this, I won't enjoy it."
"Why?"
"The diaphragm should be."
"."
Li Zhaoyuan exhaled: "The transformed demon was once a human body."
"Brother Imperial, you can't be offended. This is something your Imperial Sister carefully prepared for you."
Xu Yuan interrupted him with a very soft voice: "If you don't want to enjoy it anymore, she will come and treat you to it in person."
The words fell,
A cold light mixed with thunder arcs flashed suddenly in the attic.
A short-handled dagger inlaid with jade appeared in Li Zhaoyuan's hand, and the mountain of blades flashed with blue arcs of electricity.
Li Zhaoyuan's eyes were still fixed on Xu Yuan, and the blade in his hand was inserted directly into the fox's body. The knife was like a swimming dragon, and a thin piece of meat was picked up by the tip of the knife.
Lift it to your mouth, bite down, chew carefully, and swallow.
Li Zhaoyuan suddenly said:
"It tastes good. Master, don't you really want to taste it? Even if it has been transformed into a human body, it is still a monster."
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"No, the Soul Condensing Realm cannot withstand the nourishment of the original monster beast."
Li Zhaoyuan smiled when he heard this, and gently peeled off a strand of flesh from the flesh fox with his fingertips.
Chew and swallow.
For a moment, the only sounds left in the attic were the sounds of chewing and swallowing.
The bleak and cold river breeze poured into the room, floating Li Zhaoyuan's long hair on his back.
His eyes were plain but tender, and his movements were very slow, as delicate as the first time he had sex with the person he loved most. He took every bite with extra care.
Leaning on the soft couch, Xu Yuan stared at the man eating fox opposite him with half-squinted eyes. The beautiful appearance of the former three kings of the fox clan appeared in his mind. He exhaled softly and suddenly said:
"Before Nan Jinxi died, she wanted to ask her deepest love a question. Brother Huang, do you want to hear it?"
Li Zhaoyuan paused slightly in his hand movements, raised his eyes, and laughed steadily and softly:
"Oh? A person who died under interrogation can still be so elegant?"
He was too familiar with her to believe what Xu Yuan said.
And Xu Yuan also knew that the other party did not believe him.
But it doesn't matter, he learned this information in "Cangyuan".
If you don't choose to kill people and seize the treasure, but choose to cooperate with Nan Jinxi, you will hear some extremely resentful words during the cooperation.
"Maybe."
Xu Yuan sighed leisurely, stood up and walked to the balcony. The snow fell with the wind and turned white: "If you don't believe it, then it's all a joke for you to hear, my dear brother?"
Li Zhaoyuan glanced at Xu Yuan, nodded:
"In that case, Third Young Master, please come and listen."
Xu Yuan leaned against the fence and looked up at the dark sky:
"She said, if I die, he...should be sad for me, right?"
[If I was the one who died, that guy would probably be sad too]
Li Zhaoyuan's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and his tightly closed thin lips pursed slightly, but these expressions were only for a moment, so fast that Xu Yuan did not notice it.
Li Zhaoyuan's expression remained as usual and he did not answer. However, the movements of his hands became slower and the depth in his eyes became more determined.
Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Xu Yuan looked back at him:
"Brother Emperor,
"You feel,
"Would the person she cared about be sad about her death?"
"."
Eat everything in the pot completely,
Li Zhaoyuan wiped the corners of his lips with a tissue, looked at Xu Yuan, and said two words indifferently:
"Won't."
After saying that, a soft smile appeared on his lips:
"Changtian, your demon fox meat tastes good."
