Behind the peach grove where the Phantom Beast's imperial residence is, there is a stretch of palace.
These palaces are large or small, with different styles, either classical and elegant, or elegant and beautiful. The palaces are dotted with flower beds, vegetation, rocks and flowing water, giving them a unique natural feel. Looking from a distance, there are more palaces and facilities under construction.
Huan Mei stood in the air, Li Murong was held in her arms, and the big white tail behind her stretched forward, pointing like a human hand towards a magnificent palace in the center.
"Well, Xiao Xi lives there." Huan Mei said.
Li Murong glanced towards the palace, and then looked back at Huanmei.
"Put me down."
"no."
Huanmei closed her arms, hugged Li Murong tighter, and rubbed Li Murong's cheek with her pointed ears.
Li Murong turned away and looked at the buildings being built in the distance.
There were many figures of human cultivators walking back and forth in the unfinished building, and there were several monster beasts serving as overseers.
He stared at the orderly construction site for a while, looking thoughtful.
Huanmei: "What are you looking at? Is it as good as me?"
Li Murong turned back and stared at her seriously.
Huanmei was calm and composed at first, even turning her head to show Li Murong her appearance from all angles.
However, after being looked at by Li Murong expressionlessly for a long time, Huanmei couldn't help but feel a little awkward, and deliberately teased: "Are you fascinated by it? Huh?"
Li Murong remained silent, raising her hand to Huan Mei's hair.
Huanmei's pointed ears twitched but she didn't stop, curiosity flashed in her eyes.
Li Murong took out a pale pink peach blossom petal from Huan Mei's hair.
The petals lay in the palm of his hand, making his palms whiter, brighter, and clearer in joints. He blew lightly into the palm of his hand, and the petals flew up on the weak air current and swirled away.
Huanmei stared blankly, her eyes unconsciously following the petals as they drifted away, feeling a little lost for some reason.
Li Murong: "Do you like peach blossoms?"
Huanmei came back to her senses, tilted her head and smiled and said, "I like it. Our Celestial Huanling Fox clan has lived in Fangqiu for generations. There are all kinds of peach trees in the world, and the peach blossoms are always in full bloom. It's so beautiful!"
Li Murong nodded and said in a calm tone: "I match you very well."
He spoke so indifferently, as casually as talking about the weather. But because of this, it doesn't seem to be deliberately trying to please or flatter at all, and even makes people feel very sincere.
Huanmei was stunned for a moment, then frantically rubbed Li Murong's cheek.
"I like you so much!"
Li Murong once again grabbed Huan Mei's pointed ears: "I told you not to touch me."
This statement will obviously have the opposite effect.
Li Murong resisted Huan Mei's aggressive intimacy and said, "Take me to see Gu Yingxi."
"Don't worry, you haven't finished your own work yet."
Huanmei hugged Li Murong and circled around the entire palace garden, saying, "Which one do you like? Choose carefully, you will stay there for a long time."
Li Murong was about to say casually, but then he thought about it and asked, "Which one is fine?"
Huanmei: "Of course. Although some of them are already occupied, I will ask them to let them out as long as you like it."
Li Murong pointed to the palace where Gu Yingxi lived: "His room."
Huanmei was stunned and said: "You like Xiao Xi's house? Why? If you like this style, I will order someone to build you an exactly the same one, or one that is bigger and more grand than his, okay? ?”
Li Murong said categorically: "No, I want this room."
Huan Mei: "..."
Li Murong said coldly: "You said it yourself, any room is fine. You are a majestic beast king. Do you mean you don't keep your word?"
Huan Mei: "But..."
Huan Mei's facial features wrinkled up, and she was very confused.
Li Murong suddenly softened his tone and said, "You don't have to ask him to move out. I will live with him."
Huanmei said "Huh" and looked at him repeatedly as if she were seeing Li Murong for the first time.
"You don't also admire Xiao Xi, do you?"
Li Murong: "I'm not you."
"Then you haven't given up on saving him yet? But Xiao Rong, you are mine now. You can't even escape yourself. Do you still want to save others?"
Li Murong looked directly into Huan Mei's eyes, with no fear in them: "What if I escape?"
Huanmei shook her ears, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you and Xiao Xi can escape from Hanyu City, even if you only take half a step out of the city gate, I will not catch you back. I promise you."
Li Murong nodded slowly: "It's settled."
Huan Mei still had a smile as bright as a flower. Not only did she not feel displeased, she was even a little more interested.
Huan Mei hugged Li Murong and landed on a stone bridge in the courtyard of Gu Yingxi's residence, and finally let go of her hand so that Li Murong could stand.
"Xiao Xi!——"
Huanmei shouted to a pavilion with a thin gauze curtain opposite the stone bridge.
A slender white hand stretched out from inside, lifted the gauze curtain, and at the same time a lazy voice came out:
"Why are you here again?"
Gu Yingxi's handsome face was revealed behind the gauze curtain. He glanced at Huan Mei, and then moved his gaze towards Li Murong, showing a hint of inquiry.
Huanmei pulled Li Murong into the pavilion, and then rushed towards Gu Yingxi.
"It smells so good. You used the broken branch dew I gave you today, right?"
Gu Yingxi was leaning on the armchair of the pavilion, his eyes were half lowered, and his long crow-wing eyelashes made his eyes dark and dark. He looked at Huan Mei who was acting coquettishly in his arms, neither resisting nor accepting it, as if it had nothing to do with him, and there was a faint condescending calmness about him, as if he was the King of Beasts.
Looking away from Huan Mei, Gu Yingxi looked up at Li Murong and asked, "Who is he?"
He was obviously asking Huanmei. Huanmei raised her head and said, "He is Xiaorong, I..."
Gu Yingxi: "Your new favorite?"
Huan Mei: "Yes!"
Gu Yingxi: "You don't like me anymore?"
Huanmei: "How could that happen!"
Gu Yingxi: "You brought him to demonstrate against me?"
Huan Mei: "Absolutely not!"
Gu Yingxi: "This is the first time you have brought other male cultivators here. Isn't it a demonstration?"
Huan Mei: "That's not true, Xiao Xi, listen to me -"
"Hmph," Gu Yingxi snorted coldly, "You are such a love-minded and infatuated female--temptress."
Huan Mei: "..."
Huanmei hugged her tail and rolled on the ground.
"Ah, I like it so much!"
Li Murong raised his feet and stepped over the rolling Huan Mei and walked to Gu Yingxi.
Their eyes met.
Li Murong: "I will live here from now on."
Gu Yingxi narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean?"
Li Murong: "I live here with you."
Gu Yingxi stood up timidly, strode to Huan Mei's side, and pulled up the tip of her tail.
"You still said it wasn't a demonstration!"
Before Huanmei could open her mouth, Gu Yingxi said angrily: "If you don't like me, just let me go or simply kill me and let me serve you with others, no way! I tell you Huanmei, Today there is him but not me, there is me but not him!”
Huanmei: "I, I, I, I..."
Gu Yingxi: "You want me or him, you choose one, choose quickly!"
