The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 384 Commander (55)

"Big brother," Jiu Yao said something else, but seeing a trace of exhaustion on Shen Lian's face, she stopped and quietly curled up in Shen Lian's arms.

With a strong nasal voice, he said: "Big brother, can you watch the moon with me for a while? It's on the roof?"

"Okay." Shen Lian hugged Jiu Yao who had turned into a white fox, and gently stroked the soft hair on Jiu Yao's body.

Under the bright moonlight, Jiu Yao didn't speak, neither did Shen Lian.

Staying on the roof, looking at the bright moon, thinking about each other.

Jiu Yao was still a child after all, she soon became sleepy.

She fell asleep in Shen Lian's arms.

After Jiu Yao fell asleep, Shen Lian took out his hand. His movement was very gentle and did not wake up Jiu Yao.

He stretched out his hand, and in the white palm, there was a ruby ​​with crystal clear water droplets.

Under the moonlight, there is a faint light.

If Jiu Yao sees it, he will definitely recognize that this drop-shaped gemstone is the tear that flowed from the corner of Xiao Qi's eye before his death.

After Jiu Yao woke up, she found her in Shen Lian's arms, and Shen Lian was flying in the clouds.

"Big brother," Jiu Yao poked his head out of Shen Lian's clothes.

She is still in the form of a fox.

Looking at his claws, Jiu Yao couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh."

Ever since she transformed into a human form at a very young age, she has always maintained a small human form. After turning into a fox once in a while, she would quickly return to a human form. Why, after changing back to a fox form this time, did she maintain it for so long?
"Nine Yao, what's the matter?" Shen Lian lowered his head slightly, seeing the little fox head in his arms, he felt extremely cute.

"Big brother, how long did I sleep?" Jiu Yao is not a person who likes to be entangled very much. She changed back into a fox shape and changed into a fox shape. It may be the reason for the full moon yesterday, and she quickly pulled away from her surprise.

"Little slob, you've been sleeping all day." Shen Lian said with a faint smile on his lips.

"I've slept for such a long time." Jiu Yao was a little surprised that she had slept for so long.

"Then where are we now, big brother?" Jiu Yao looked at the white clouds all around, and rubbed his eyes in confusion.

"We're almost at the Temple of the Commander," Shen Lian said.

"En." Jiu Yao nodded obediently.

It was the first time that Nine Demons truly entered the Temple of Mingsi.

When she first saw the Mingsi Temple, she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Big brother, it looks very deserted here." Jiu Yao hid in Shen Lian's arms and could see that this was a simple palace. They walked all the way and only saw a few people who were in a hurry.

"There are fewer people in the South Garden, and most of the new disciples are in the North Garden." Shen Lian nodded.

"Big brother, is the third round of selection over?" Jiu Yao asked, remembering that she was still in the test.

"Not yet." Shen Lian shook her head.

"Big brother, I want to go back to see my brother first." Jiu Yao suddenly remembered that Chu Chu was still waiting for her, and Jiu Yao hadn't really said goodbye to him yet.

"Okay." Shen Lian nodded.

"Do you want to go back by yourself?" Shen Lian asked.

"Well," Jiu Yao jumped out of Shen Lian's arms, "Brother, thank you for taking care of me these days."

"?" When Shen Lian heard Jiu Yao's words, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he looked at Jiu Yao, "Why is Jiu Yao suddenly polite?"

"Big brother, it should be. Jiu Yao didn't know how to be polite a few days ago, but fortunately, big brother is tolerant." Jiu Yao is still in the shape of a fox, so it is almost impossible for Shen Lian to see the expression on her face.

But from these few words, Shen Lian clearly heard the meaning of estrangement.

"Nine Yao?" Shen Lian looked at the back of Jiu Yao disappearing from the door, and a trace of puzzlement flashed across his handsome and fair face.

Jiu Yao didn't know why, what she saw on Xiao Qi yesterday made Jiu Yao feel like a fishbone in his heart.

It made her want to run away from Shen Lian.

She had a feeling, as if Shen Lian's tenderness towards her was not towards her, as if it was towards another person.

Big brother, could it be that she is regarded as someone else?

For example, the girl he likes in his heart——Su Jiu?
However, Nine Demons are Nine Demons, and they don't want to be anyone's substitute.

Jiu Yao seemed to be holding her breath in her heart. She used her fox shape and ran very fast.

Of course, this also has disadvantages. For example, when Jiu Yao stopped, he found that he had no idea where he was.

To be exact, Jiu Yao walked to a very secluded place.

This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there is a lot of dust on the ground.

"Fengluoyuan?" Jiu Yao looked at the words on the plaque and barely recognized them.

The faded gate seemed to have magical powers, attracting the attention of Jiu Yao, making Jiu Yao unable to look away.

what's behind the door
The Nine Demons approached slowly.

After looking outside the door for a long time, Jiu Yao tried to open the door.

What is behind the door?
Why does Jiu Yao feel that his heart is beating so fast?That familiar yet indescribable feeling.

It's as if the secret is behind the door.

With her claws, she gently pushed the door open a small crack.

At this moment, a voice almost scared Jiu Yao, "Nine Yao."

"Big brother?" Jiu Yao turned her head and found that it was the big brother. She quietly retracted her paw.

"Jiu Yao, what are you doing here?" Shen Lian ignored Jiu Yao's dirty paws and picked her up from the ground.

"Jiu Yao, I'm lost." Jiu Yao looked at the slowly closing door and said.

"Fool, this place is still far away from the exam location." Shen Lian pinched Jiu Yao's nose, "Although you don't want your elder brother to send you back, you still need your elder brother to send you out, right?"

"Oh." Jiu Yao nodded a little ashamedly. She had all negative emotions in her mind before, and even had the idea of ​​wanting to escape from Shen Lian, so she left in such a hurry.

"Fool." Although Shen Lian couldn't understand the fox's expression, Jiu Yao's shameful eyes were easy to recognize, and Shen Lian could easily know that Jiu Yao was ashamed.

"Big brother," Jiu Yao rubbed against Shen Lian's arms, but suddenly, thinking that maybe Shen Lian's gentleness was because she was treated as another person, Jiu Yao couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

"Well, what's the matter?" Shen Lian walked out slowly with Jiu Yao in his arms, feeling the stiffness of the restless little fox in his arms, he asked.

"No, it's okay, big brother, where is this place? It looks so shabby?" Jiu Yao changed the subject and said.

"It's just an abandoned palace." Shen Lian glanced at the opened door and said lightly.

"Oh." Jiu Yao discovered that the walls repaired by these blue stones, the patterns on the stones are extremely fine and delicate. Obviously, the palace was built with great care, and it would be a pity to abandon it.
