"..."
Even after hearing such words, Xuechu did not respond. The big demon who still wanted to be calm just smiled slightly, idled, and once again pushed away the right to continue questioning.
She just lived peacefully in the manor hidden in the mountains.
It was a quiet and high place, and through the cover of the dense woods, one could have a panoramic view of the entire Wufang City.
After a few days of calm, Wufang City is already facing a storm.
"The weather is getting weirder."
Xining pushed open the door and walked in with a steaming afternoon tea in her hand. She looked at Xue Chu, who was leaning on the bench and taking a nap. Her open eyes were mixed with the breath of the wind behind her, and they were cold and astringent.
"It's time to make some thicker clothes for Yu Laijia," Xining turned around and closed the door, then said.
In the past few days, she had become familiar with Xue Chu's character and knew that the other party was listening, but did not answer because he was not interested. At this time, it would never go wrong to mention the little dragon cub who was protected by Xue Chu.
And that's exactly what happened.
Hearing this, Xue Chu, who was half lying down, finally opened his eyes and said, "Let's do one more thing."
The lazy demon half-squinted his eyes, remembering a locked place that had just been lit up, and the smile hidden deep in his eyes flashed away.
"Yulaika will have a companion soon. As for her age...it will be a few years older."
companion……?
I didn't expect that she would give such news suddenly and at such a disturbing time.
Xining's hand holding the plate paused in the air for a moment. He subconsciously raised his eyes and met the already opened eyes with a hint of purple.
"What is this?" The person who was leaning on the chair a second ago pointed to the golden letter placed on the edge.
Xining, who was asked the question, came to his senses and simply picked up the letter and explained: "This is exactly the purpose of my interruption."
"A group of distinguished guests came to Wufang City a few days ago. The Duke headed by him seems to have plans to do something here, and he directly selected the best location in the city to hold a banquet."
"As the owner of the underground gambling house here, I also received an invitation."
banquet?
Xuechu thought of the provocative person.
She didn't directly kill the person at that time. If the person had some luck, he should still be alive at this time - it's just not certain whether there were missing parts.
And Xining is very clear about this.
She stepped on the carpet and placed the unopened letter on the small table next to Xue Chu. She smiled lightly and said: "This banquet... to me, it can probably be regarded as a bad person."
"Oh?" Xue Chu was still sitting in his original position, his slender figure bundled under an exquisite robe, and even his voice sounded disinterested and hoarse, "It seems you already have a plan."
Xining picked up a cup of hot tea, and the dense heat covered her subtle expression, "Their goal is this squareless city."
As expected, there was no response.
After a pause, she continued: "...and as far as I know, although the current Wufang City is called the land abandoned by the gods, it is also far away from the central city where the Shishen clan in charge of power lives. According to the earliest records, this is the true origin of the Samurai God Clan."
"It's also...the place where God once appeared."
"God?" Xuechu finally straightened his expression after hearing the keyword, "Is there really a god in this place?"
Xining looked at her suddenly serious expression and vaguely noticed something. He opened his mouth but did not give a more accurate answer.
And Xuechu didn't need it either.
After a moment of silence, the lazy demon stood up and walked slowly to the cold window, looking down with his deep eyes.
"In this case, it is really necessary to go over."
"Where are you going?" Rong Xu, who happened to push the door open and walked in, tilted his head and looked at Xue Chu, who was looking sideways.
"Where?" Yulaika, who emerged from his arms, tilted his head, and his tail, which had also escaped from prison, wagged again and again at Xuechu.
Yulaika was still too young, and even if he inherited the inherited memory, he was still ignorant. He couldn't feel Xue Chu's different emotions from usual at all. When his eyes met, he took the initiative to swish his tail and stick to him, and his tone was innocent and sticky.
"It's getting cold..." He waved his short hand and frowned slightly as soon as he said this, "Don't go out."
Yu Laijia didn't know how to express his uneasiness, so he just raised his little finger and pointed outside again, picking at Xue Chu's... and slurring his words with emphasis: "There... is something else outside, something else..."
"Something else?"
Remembering that the little guy was indeed not very interested these days, Xue Chu rubbed the other person's soft ears, thoughtfully.
The deep purple light in his eyes flashed away.
------------------
Outside Wufang City.
The icy cold wind penetrated the entire sparse forest, and an inexplicable conspiracy surged in the thick darkness. Just like the sudden change in the weather, an extremely cold scene was indeed happening where the wind gathered at this time.
The black-clad killer was playing with a sharp knife, and on the big tree behind him, two children who had been deprived of their voices were hanging on the left and right.
One looked gloomy and was not struggling, and the other was younger and completely unconscious at this time.
"...How about it, the Duke still can't make a choice?"
The cold-blooded killer stared mockingly at the big man standing opposite him in a safe area with a painful expression on his face. He raised his hand and slashed the boy on the left, "You are a very sensible kid. With such a smooth reaction, even if it's me, I also feel a little surprised..."
The killer looked at the young man who had been staring blankly and saying nothing since the beginning. He felt a fist hit the cotton, and his original sharp expression was suppressed a lot.
"I can't continue to waste time like this..."
The killer sighed and looked up again. The blade was already raised in front of another young child.
"stop--"
Before it fell, the gloomy-faced Duke immediately spoke to stop it.
The Duke's clenched hand had already grasped the short knife at his waist, and the stalemate was instantly broken. He stared closely at the raised hand, his deep face full of anger.
"Pfft--doesn't this make a choice?"
The killer turned the blade, turned his eyes to the other side again, and finally laughed out loud, "Yinxi, Yinxi... look at your good father, he doesn't feel sorry for you at all."
The extremely cold words knocked down the bag, and Yin Xi, who was suspended in the air, trembled and watched calmly as the last piece of disguise on the Duke was torn apart without mercy.
No disappointment, no more begging and insults.
Yinxi just watched her father's eyes fall to her side quietly, eyes open, like a puppet that couldn't speak or move.
On the contrary, the Duke became even more angry under the stimulation of these words.
"You'er is still young, he can't stand such stimulation!"
The Duke avoided Yin Xi's gaze and held on tightly to his words. He stared at the taunting killer with red eyes and gasped sharply, even his shoulder blades were shaking.
