nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;As the sun set, Liu Mulian walked on a secluded street, staying far away from the noisy Demon Refining Square. (First published on mwuruo.com) From Xianyun Peak to Huzigou, everything has changed, but the change she longs for most has not happened. After so many years, she had very few opportunities to see Wei Shiqi. He was very busy. Scarlet Star City grew from scratch and became the only fairy city in this world. It was a reflection of his hard work. When he was not busy, he was by his side. He was always accompanied by other women, Ruan Jing, Qin Zhen, and Yu Yao, but his eyes never fell on him.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Alone, alone, Liu Mulian stepped on her own shadow, listened to her own footsteps, walked around to the side door of Song of Silence, clicked the knocker three times, and took half a step back. There was a crack in the side door, and a small head poked out, with her hair combed and dressed as a maid. When she saw it was Liu Mulian, she pursed her lips and smiled, and forcefully opened the door.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian crossed the threshold, reached out to touch her head, and asked, "Is Senior Luo here?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The little maid nodded repeatedly, made babbling gestures for a while, then took her hand and walked inside.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The Rakshasa girl was sitting in the side hall, drinking good tea brought from the south of the Yangtze River, looking at the cluster of gorgeous peonies in the courtyard, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was worried. She heard from Ande Yin, the golden-eyed roc, that a few days ago, Wei Shiqi captured him and Chongmingniao without any explanation, stuffed them into the beast-control bag, and disappeared to an unknown location. Chongmingniao was dragged out and never came back. He was in a state of confusion in the beast-controlling bag. I don't know how long it took, but it was several years later when he saw the light of day again in Jietian Ridge.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Originally, Jietian Ridge was guarded by Xiaobai, Chongjiu, Andeyin, Luosha Nu, and You Kun. When Red Star City was established, Xiaobai and Luosha Nu were taken away one after another, and Chongjiu and After Ande Yin left for several years, only the red-bellied poisonous spider Yu Kun was left in Jietian Ridge, and it actually managed to survive.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Jietian Ridge has been completely reduced to a hunting ground for monks all over the world. Countless monsters have been slaughtered and divided. Demon elixirs, spirits, furs, bones, flesh and blood are continuously imported into Red Star City. This is A big deal, the result of which is that the number of monsters in Jietian Ridge is decreasing year by year. Those who survive are the most ferocious and cunning ones, and under the tempering of the monks, these low-level monsters that have sprouted and sprouted, He also gradually broke through his own limits and was promoted to a first-class demon general.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Natural selection, survival of the fittest, whether it is Jietian Ridge or Guimenyuan, the surviving monsters are getting stronger, and at the same time, the monks who hunt them are also getting stronger. , is this Wei Shiqi’s true intention?

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;She guessed Wei Shiqi's intentions, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Rising like a meteor, climbing to the pinnacle of this world step by step, she couldn't see through this mysterious man. Chongjiu's fate is a kind of warning. He doesn't care about his origin. It doesn't matter whether he is a human or a monster. To occupy a place in his kingdom, he must be useful and irreplaceable. The Song of Silence is an important chess piece in his hand, but This is not enough.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;While thinking, the little maid led Liu Mulian into the side hall. The Rakshasa girl's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Over the years, one person and one demon have become very close. Liu Mulian’s thoughts were clear to the Rakshasa girl long before she left Xianyun Peak. Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless, and she will reshape her The technique of appearance and body was passed down to Liu Mulian out of pity for her infatuation, not out of intention to "create obstacles" for Wei Qiyi.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;She ordered the maid to serve tea and cakes, chatted with Liu Mulian for a while, and gradually mentioned the Song of Silence. On the surface, Song of Silence is just a high-end brothel, but in Wei Shiqi's layout, the importance of this gold-selling cave exceeds that of Si Yan and Qi Ku, and must be left in the hands of trusted confidants. In the early days of the establishment, everything was subject to power. After all, the Rakshasa girl was a demon and could not become Wei Shiqi's confidant. Liu Mulian planned that instead of doing odd jobs in the Red Star Hall of Merit, it would be better to switch to Song of Silence and succeed the Rakshasa Girl in the future.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian was a little moved, and the Rakshasa girl lit a lamp for her. She could not be Qin Zhen and Yu Yao, but she also wanted to become capable generals like Chen Suzhen, Cheng Hou, and Xiaobai, and enter his Vision, stay with him, at least, you can see him a few more times, and talk about the pain of lovesickness.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;She promised the Rakshasa girl that she would think about it after she went back.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;After leaving the Song of Silence, it was already near the zenith of the moon, and the lights in Dongming City were gradually extinguished. Liu Mulian's steps were brisk and she had made up her mind.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;It was midnight, and the bells rang, one after another, resounding throughout the sky. Liu Mulian looked towards the bell tower, only to see a haunting figure flash into the bell tower and disappear. Her heart was pounding, and she hurried forward to catch up. Her footsteps echoed in the empty alley, gradually slowing down and becoming hesitant and procrastinating.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian gathered her hair, bit her lip, and stopped at the alley to wait patiently.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;It seems that these stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew stand at midnight.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian waited for a long time, until the stars dimmed and the east turned white, then she saw him walking out of the bell tower. Should you go up to him, or stay where he is and wait for him to notice? Is it pretending to meet by chance, or hinting that he has been standing there for a long time? She was hesitant and hesitated.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Wei Shiqi looked up at the sky. It was the darkest moment before dawn. He waved to Liu Mulian and walked into the darkness without looking back. Liu Mulian was shocked and happy at the same time. She trotted to catch up with him and followed him silently.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Wei Shiqi walked out of Dongming City along the city wall. Liu Mulian felt uneasy. Since leaving Kutenggou, she had never been so close to Wei Shiqi. They were like moths to the fire, wanting to refuse but greeting them. . "Where are we going?" This sentence lingered in my mind a thousand times, but I still didn't have the courage to ask.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;She hated herself for not having the courage.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The sky was getting brighter little by little. Wei Shiqi stopped, stretched out his hand to caress the rough city wall, and said, "Long time no see, how are you lately?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian's voice was trembling a little, "It's okay...that's it..."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"I have neglected you these years. After all, being in the Red Star Merit Hall is not a long-term solution. Have you ever thought about whether you will devote yourself to cultivation in the future, or be like Chen Suzhen and take on some worldly affairs? You don't have to worry. When making a decision, think carefully.”

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"...I have thought it through."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"Well, what?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"I want to go to Song of Silence."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Wei Shiqi laughed, "Did the Rakshasa girl encourage you to go?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"Yes, and no. She mentioned it to me, and I thought about it for a long time, and I think what she said makes sense."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"What did she say?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian said a few words about the pros and cons analyzed by the Rakshasa girl for her, intermittently and uneasily. Wei Shiqi listened very carefully. After listening, he said: "Okay, you will resign from Red Star tomorrow. Regarding the affairs of the Hall of Merit, go to Song of Silence to learn from the Rakshasa Girl, and bring a message for me, when will you be able to take charge of the Song of Silence? Let the Rakshasa Girl come to see me."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;He agreed so readily, Liu Mulian was a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Did I do something wrong?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"No." Wei Shiqi rubbed her head, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't keep it in your stomach, it's not a big deal. But then again, if you don't mention it, I I won’t let you go to Song of Silence either.”

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"Afraid I'm not aggressive enough and can't be controlled?"

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"There is a reason for this - as long as you are happy."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Liu Mulian smiled, feeling closer to him again.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;"Go back. In a few days, I will go to Song of Silence to see you again."

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Full of joy, Liu Mulian held his hand, brought it to his mouth and kissed it, then ran away as if running away, her cheeks were as hot as fire, and she did not dare to look back.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;A few days later, a new thing appeared in Dongming City, called "Ci Fang".
