The moonlight is hazy.
The cold smoke lingers on the dark water, tentatively stretching out wisps of mist, lingering, climbing up the wet river beach.
Sudden.
A figure broke into this quiet place.
The cold mist that tried to spread over the bluestones on the shore was forced back onto the river.
The person who came was none other than Niu Yuanping.
He stood on the top of the bluestone and looked towards the river, looking for the figure of the carp spirit that invited him to come.
I thought silently in my mind, "Could it be that... I have to recite the name of the goblin three times silently?..."
While thinking about it, he looked down at the water.
The moonlight shines on the shallow area near the river, creating a layer of sparkling light in the darkness.
Niu Yuanping looked intently.
However, there is still no trace of tidal tracing.
So he planned to read the monster's name.
But right now!
There was a faint red light emitting from the water waves of the river directly below the bluestone he was standing on.
The light immediately attracted Niu Yuanping's eyes.
He stared.
Just in time to see the blood-colored light on the water waves condensed into a red carp figure.
Its fins slowly swayed and waved steadily.
That's right!
It's tidal!
But I saw it wagging its tail and exposing the fish's head to the surface of the wave.
Looking at Niu Yuanping, a smile appeared on Su Xi's fishy face that looked like a teacher.
"Master! We meet again!"
A very magnetic voice of a middle-aged man came to the shore from the carp spirit's throat.
Niu Yuanping stared at it expressionlessly and responded lightly, "Well... we meet again."
Then he asked, "Why did you ask me out?"
"Hahaha!……"
Su Xi laughed and said, "Has the young master forgotten the mission given by Her Highness the Dragon Girl since he became the consort of the Great Yan Kingdom?"
Niu Yuanping frowned, but soon relaxed.
He smiled slightly and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten it!... Haven't I always been looking for opportunities to complete tasks?"
"oh?"
Su Xi asked in a deep voice, "How is the progress?"
You can hear it.
The fish was actually talking to itself in an interrogating tone.
Niu Yuanping's eyes flickered and he said calmly, "I have found several locations for the formation, but I don't dare to act rashly."
"Why?"
"Because the ancestor of the Yan family is still in the world! I am worried that when the boundary-breaking nail is inserted into the formation eye, he will be alarmed. If the ancestor of the Yan family is alarmed, my situation will be very dangerous!"
The tide is silent.
It floated quietly in the water waves, looking up at Niu Yuanping, looking thoughtful.
Niu Yuanping saw this.
He immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I have already said that this matter needs long-term consideration! I must ensure my own safety first, and then do other things."
Su Xi smiled.
"Young Master has become the prince-in-law of the Yan clan... Could it be that he has a dissatisfaction with His Highness Longnu?..."
Hearing this, Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed quietly.
He did have a different intention.
But I definitely can’t admit it at this moment!
Even if he denies it, he can't let the monster know his true feelings!
So, he smiled slightly and said, "How dare I have any different intentions? I still have to rely on the antidote pill given by Her Highness the Dragon Girl to survive."
Showed weakness first.
So that this carp spirit can put down its guard and suspicion.
Then he continued, "The reason why I became the Prince Consort is actually to gain the trust of the Yan clan quickly! Only by becoming a family with them can I enter and leave the Yan Palace more freely and look for opportunities to insert the boundary-breaking nails!" …”
Niu Yuanping said this very sincerely.
"I sacrificed my appearance and married Princess Yan just to facilitate the completion of the task assigned by Her Highness the Dragon Girl! ... Please also say a few nice words when you report to the Dragon Girl!"
After Su Xi listened to these words, there was a hint of thoughtfulness in a pair of fish eyes.
Niu Yuanping had been observing this carp spirit, staring at the look and expression on the fish's face.
At this moment, I realized that it seemed to be less jealous and suspicious of me.
Then he struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Now, not long after I became the Prince Consort, I have just gained the trust of the Yan clan! But it will take some time to completely eliminate their wariness and defensiveness towards me, an outsider! So, for The tasks assigned by Her Highness Longnu cannot be rushed! Otherwise, any carelessness will definitely attract the attention of the ancestor of the Yan family, thus making all the previous efforts in vain."
That's right!
This is Niu Yuanping's delaying strategy.
He turned the matter of becoming the Prince Consort of the Yan Kingdom into an indispensable strategy to complete the task assigned by Her Highness the Dragon Girl.
And use this as an excuse to try to delay time!
Delay it as long as you can.
At this moment, after saying these words, Niu Yuanping continued to stare at Su Xi.
Want to see how it reacts next?
But the carp spirit was silent for a long time.
Then it raised its eyes and looked over, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master's concerns... are quite reasonable..."
Niu Yuanping was secretly happy when he heard this.
"Did you get through it? It's not bad!!..."
He was thinking this in his mind, but the look on his face was still as calm as water.
He stared at the fish in the water indifferently.
I want to see what this monster has to say next!
Su Xi's eyes flashed slightly at this moment.
There was a thoughtful silence for a while.
After a long time, he looked up at Niu Yuanping and said, "I will truthfully report the young master's plans and concerns to His Highness Longnu!!... In this case, I will take my leave for the time being and come back to you another day."
Having said that, it didn't delay any longer.
After spinning three times in the water, the figure turned into red light and shadow! Gradually disappeared into the waves of the river.
Suxi left.
The river shrouded in moonlight was still filled with cold smoke.
Niu Yuanping stood on the big bluestone on the shore for a long time.
He saw that the carp spirit had completely disappeared.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he thought deeply, "In this way, I can buy a lot of time! During this period, I must improve my cultivation level as soon as possible and gain more powerful combat strength!"
Niu Yuanping knew very well.
Only with absolute strength can we deal with these monsters and ghosts lurking in the territory of Dayan in the future.
Dragon Girl Yu Yixue took advantage of Qi Fei's opportunity to rebel this time, and indeed gained great benefits! !
In the entire Great Yan Kingdom, apart from the Palace of Yan, which is protected by the demon-destroying barrier formation, evil forces should have penetrated into all the cities, large and small!
The situation is quite pessimistic...
Now that Niu Yuanping has become the director of the Demon Suppression Department, he must consider some things!
You must be prepared for a long battle with monsters...
In addition, he also hopes that when his cultivation power increases, he will be able to resist the onset of erysipelas.
If you can use the power of cultivation to withstand the attack of toxins, then you will no longer have to worry about it! You no longer have to deal with the monsters laboriously, you can feel free and bold to break up with Yu Yixue directly!
Niu Yuanping looked up at the moonlight.
It's getting late...
"It's time to go back, lest Qianqian notices her worries..."
Then he turned around, jumped down from the bluestone, and escaped into the darkness.
However, not long after he left, a figure came quietly.
The figure stood where Niu Yuanping had just stood, looking down into the river.
That's right! !
The person who came was none other than Yan Qianqian.
She frowned and stared at the water waves for a long time, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
At this time, Yan Beichen, who was far away in the ancestral cave of Prince Yan's palace, opened his eyes.
In the darkness, he smiled arrogantly.
"This little doll...has so many secrets..."
