Shengshuiyuan

On a starry night, a group of more than a dozen people with different looks sat around the campfire and roasted meat.A little doll with white hair and the size of a palm.Carefully climbed onto the shoulders of a light-blond boy, looked at the meaty and fragrant barbecue grilled in the bonfire, raised his fleshy palm to wipe the drool from the corners of his mouth, and gently pulled the light-blond boy's hair. milk airway

"Lan Lan, the meat is delicious, Yan Yan wants to eat it."

Lantierre took Youze and handed over a piece of barbecue, blew it lightly and handed it to Xiao Muyan, saying

"Come and eat, be careful it's hot."

Sweetly squinting and smiling, Xiao Muyan held the steaming barbecue with both hands, and took a big bite, tears flowed from the corners of his scorched eyes.

"Hoohoo~, it's hot!"

Picking up the handkerchief to help Xiao Muyan wipe off the oil from the corner of his mouth, Lantier suddenly felt a spiritual force approaching.Looking up at a spirit bird with an emerald green body shaped like a phoenix, it looked at Lantiel and said

"His Royal Highness, tomorrow my master will host a banquet in Ming Cui Building for you."

Nodding lightly, Lantiere said with a smile in his eyes

"Thank you, Messenger of the Blue Bird."

Saluting lightly, a turquoise aura flashed, and the spirit bird known as the messenger of the blue bird disappeared into the air in an instant.

Marquis Luno looked curiously at the place where the messenger of the blue bird left and said

"Is this the legendary blue bird, the divine bird that conveys messages?"

Instead, Marquis Luno slightly raised his eyebrows and said,

"What kind of person is that nine-tailed spirit fox Yunwu girl?"

Taking a big bite of the piece of meat, Natsu smiled and said

"It's a sexy big beauty!"

Chewing the barbecue meat vaguely in his mouth, Lige said lightly with his fingers

"I still have a cigarette stick in my hand."

Passing the water bag to the Marquis of Luno, Lantiere lightly held Xiao Muyan, who was full and sleepy, in his hand, and said on the blanket beside him

"The Marquis of Luno has never been to Ning'an, right? Then you will know the beauty of Ning'an."

Taking a sip of the water in the water bag, Marquis Luno said expectantly

"I've seen records about Ning'an in ancient books before. Ning'an has a history of thousands of years. Moreover, Ning'an is full of aura. All animals and plants can transform into human shapes through cultivation. It is a good place for cultivation."

Wiping off the oil on his mouth with both hands, Babur squinted and smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

"Hey hey, there are a lot of delicious food."

Looking at Babur who never forgets to eat, Mu Qing raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes.

Looking at the dark sky, Rantier said

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep. We have to hurry to Ning'an tomorrow."

The crowd dispersed or found a place to sleep, or stood guard for the night.

Helping Xiao Muyan, who was sleeping very comfortably with his limbs stretched out beside him, covered him with a blanket, and Lantiere fell asleep peacefully.

Ning'an Mingcui Building

In front of a restaurant with red pillars and glazed tiles, a handsome man in emerald green clothes smiled lightly, and said to Lantiere and his party.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way, our proprietress is hosting a banquet on the third floor to wait for you."

Nodding lightly, Lantiere patted the black jade flute in his hand and said

"That's work."

Just entering the restaurant, a man in white with white hair and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows and a man in light blue kneeling on the ground behind him, holding the hem of the white-haired man's clothes, attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.Everyone stopped to taste the delicious food in curiosity, and surrounded the two with eyes full of curiosity.

The man kneeling on the ground was full of pale eyes and held the white-haired man's clothes tightly, reassuring:

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

The white-haired man who frowned lightly did not answer, and the man in purple beside him said in a cold sweat.

"Father, I was the one who failed to discipline this time, and let this rebellious son offend the prince of the Qilin clan, which almost caused a catastrophe."

The white-haired man raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly

"Oh? Just control, do you think you can calm the Qilin King's anger?"

Not far away, next to an old man with white beard and hair who was about 50 years old, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy stretched out his hand and gently pulled the old man's sleeve, whispering

"Grandpa, grandpa! Why is someone else's grandpa so young. You are so old!"

The old man, who was watching the show with his eyes full of concentration, suddenly became angry when he heard what the boy said, the veins on his forehead twitched, he stretched out his hand and squeezed the boy's ears tightly, and said angrily

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!"

The ear was pinched and hurt, the boy said with eyes full of grievances

"Yes, that person looks very young!"

The white-haired man, whose eyes were still full of anger, turned to look at Lantiere who was standing at the door. Xiao Muyan, who was sitting obediently on his shoulders and was as cute as a powder, suddenly narrowed his eyes. His originally light brown eyes instantly changed into Weird golden red.A coercion turned into a scalding hurricane without warning, and all the items in the originally quiet tavern were instantly blown into the air by the hurricane.

Suddenly feeling the coercion emerging from the white-haired man, Lantiyer and the others looked at the white-haired man with vigilance for a moment.Xiao Muyan held Lantiere's hair tightly, her eyes trembling with fear.

Just when all the guests in the tavern thought that the white-haired man would start a fight with Lantiere and the others, a soft and charming female voice suddenly came from the steps of the tavern:

"Duan Che, they are my friends. I will be very embarrassed if you do this."

Squinting his eyes to put away his pressure, the white-haired man slightly pursed his lips, his eyes full of indifference, looked at Lantiere and the others, and lightly cupped his hands.

"Since it's the proprietress' guest, I was rude just now."

Looking at the white-haired man who was about to walk out of the tavern, he looked at himself with an unabashedly stern expression.Lantiere frowned slightly, and looked back at the other party as well.

Seeing the people who were about to be at war, the proprietress walked between the two of them, took a puff of cigarette, put one hand on the shoulder of the man called Duanche and said:

"Oh, don't be like this, we are friends, so why hurt your peace like this."

Looking at the three people walking away, Natsu clenched his palms and said angrily.

"Who is it! It's just inexplicable!!"

Looking at the white-haired man who was obviously not good at leaving, Lantiyer, who was lost in thought, suddenly felt his shoulders lighten, and Xiao Muyan, who was sitting on his shoulders, suddenly disappeared.

Turning to look at Xiao Muyan, who was holding his eyes full of eyes with both hands, Yun Wu gently rubbed his cheek against Xiao Muyan, and said with eyes full of love

"Wow! So cute!!"

Being hugged and rubbed suddenly, Xiao Muyan was so frightened that his eyes were full of fear and he dared not move.

Shaking his head lightly with helplessness in his eyes, he hugged Xiao Muyan, who was about to cry from fright, into his arms and comforted him, Lantiere looked at Yun Wu with a smile on his eyes and said

"Boss, can we go to the third floor?"

Originally expressed love but almost scared the little guy to tears, the proprietress coughed lightly with eyes full of embarrassment, then turned to winking and said with a faint smile

"Please come with me."

During the banquet, he took a bite of the delicious and fragrant duck in sauce that the proprietress put in a bowl, Lantiere put down his chopsticks, and asked the purpose of the trip with serious eyes

"Miss Boss, you also saw that Mu Yan's body suddenly became smaller for some reason in the past two days. Does Madam Boss know why?"

Taking a sip of the mellow wine, Yun Wu slightly raised her lips and smiled winkingly, raised her hand to caress Xiao Muyan's soft white hair and said

"It's normal for him to be like this."

Lantiere looked puzzled.

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Putting down the emerald green glass wine glass in her hand, the proprietress explained

"Your Highness may not know that the only difference between our nine-tailed spirit fox and other spirit beasts is that we have powerful spiritual power. When we are about to cultivate nine tails, there will be a period of reverse growth. Just like His Highness saw Mu Yan. "

Instead, the proprietress picked up the handkerchief, wiped the greasy mouth of Xiao Muyan and continued.

"It's just that your Highness, you also know that Mu Yan's situation is special. The inner alchemy in his body was given to him by his sister back then. So he is different from other nine-tailed spirit foxes who have worked hard to cultivate nine tails. He just reversed the growth in advance."

Still a little worried, Lantiere asked with a slight frown

"Then will this reverse growth harm the body, and when will it return to its original state?"

Picking up a piece of Longjing shrimp and eating it into her mouth, the proprietress said with a smile all over her eyes.

"This situation is like recharging energy. Not only does it not cause any harm to the body, but it also absorbs a lot of spiritual energy at night to increase cultivation. It will naturally return to its original state in about two days."

Exhaling lightly, Lantierre finally relaxed and said

"That's good."

Naz, who was feasting on the beef beside him, laughed loudly.

"The nine-tailed fox is amazing, it can become stronger even when it gets smaller!"

Mu looked at Naz who had slipped his tongue, slapped Naz on the back of the head, and said solemnly and coldly.

"If you eat something, you won't be able to stop your mouth!"

Seeing that he finally solved his worries when he came, Marquis Luno looked at the proprietress and said

"Miss Boss, I'm curious who was that strange man with white hair and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows when we first arrived, who suddenly threatened us? Judging by Madam Boss' attitude towards him, you seem to know him."

Speaking of the white-haired man, Yun Wu raised her fingers and smiled charmingly, saying

"Hahahaha, you said him, his name is Duanche, his white hair looks like a human being now. He is actually the leader of the Candle Dragon Clan who has practiced for thousands of years and has a very high level of cultivation."

Slightly pursing his lips, Lantier heard that the man called Duanche was actually Zhulong, and said with interest for a moment.

"Is the leader of the Candle Dragon Clan? This is very interesting."

Quickly chewing the meat in his hand, Lige raised his greasy hand

"I know this, I know this! Candle Dragon is an ancient god clan, and it is a spirit beast. It is said that Candle Dragon is extremely powerful. When it opens its eyes, the sky is bright and it is daytime; when it closes its eyes, it is dark. It is night. , the leaders of the Candle Dragon Clan and their direct descendants have golden-red eyes. It is one of the strongest dragon clans among the ancient races."

Satisfied, he patted his full stomach, and Bubber said enviously

"Wow!! It sounds amazing!"

Taking a sip of the wine, Lantiyer remembered that he had just met the leader of the Candle Dragon Clan today. Seeing his warning eyes, he not only slightly raised his lips, but also had a deep expression.

Inside the Jiange a few hundred meters away

A man dressed in black and obviously possessing the aura that only belonged to an emperor, sat in the main seat of the hall, slightly narrowed his glazed golden pupils, looked at the blue-haired man kneeling in front of him with respectful eyes, and said:

"How, is there any change in the bone box in the purification pool?"

The blue-haired man pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

"Emperor Ming, don't worry, apart from the strange movement last time, there has never been any movement or reaction in that box."

Standing up, Emperor Ming put his hands behind his back and let out a soft breath.

"Long Yuan, where are Your Highness and the others now?"

With a relaxed expression, Long Yuan replied to Emperor Ming's words:

"His Royal Highness and his friends are now in Mingcui Tower. When they first went there, they almost had a conflict with Duan Che, the leader of the Candle Dragon Clan. Fortunately, nothing happened afterwards."

Long Yuan spoke slowly and hesitated to speak

"However, there is a palm-sized doll sitting on His Highness's shoulder. Judging by the aura, it seems to be Li Muyan and Li Ergong. I don't know why it has become so small."

Nodding lightly, Emperor Ming lightly raised his hand and said

"You have worked hard all day, go back and rest."

With a light salute, Long Yuan stood up and left the hall.

Thinking of the unknown reason and the bone magic box of the unknown and terrible crisis, the always calm Emperor Ming slightly squinted his glazed golden pupils, and clenched his palms tightly.

At night, a white pigeon approached Lantiere's room window from far to near, gently coaxing Xiao Muyan to sleep.Lantiere untied the letter from the white dove's feetExpand

His Royal Highness: I heard that you have arrived in Ning'an. If you are free, can you come to Jinxiu Villa for a gathering tomorrow?We will all be waiting for you at Jinxiu Villa tomorrow.

Li Mingge Qi

Slightly pursing his lips and turning the letter into ashes with flames in his hands, Lantier walked slowly towards the sleeping sweet little Muyan, raised his hand and patted his chest to lull him to sleep.

Fairview Villa

Looking at the starry Ming Ge with eyes full of shame, he wanted to pounce on Xiao Muyan who was on Lantiere's shoulder.Lantiere quickly turned sideways and hugged Xiao Muyan into his arms.

Ming Ge's eyes were full of disappointment, and he rubbed his hands lightly, full of grievances and said

"It's rare that the second brother has become so cute, can your Highness let me hug him?"

Shaking the folding fan at the side, Mu Qing smiled, looked at Marquis Luno who was beside Lantiere and said,

"Who is this?"

Withdrawing Marquis Luno who was immersed in admiration for the decoration of Jinxiu Villa, he turned to look at Mu Qingdao

"Marquis of the North, Luno Linkart."

Gently pursing her lips, Mu Qing gently closed the fan and said

"Third Prince Ning'an, Mu Qing has met the Marquis of the North."

Several people walked into the hall talking and laughing. Naz was drooling as he smelled all kinds of delicious food.

Seeing Naz and Carter who were already hungry, Ming Ge said with a smile

"Everyone is hungry, come on, let's start eating."

Satisfied with food and drink, Naz was concentrating in the garden, watching Wall and Carter shoot every arrow with envy.

Ming Ge asked the waiter to bring preserved fruits and pastries to face Lantiere, raised a hand, and suddenly a mass of blue-purple flames gathered in his hand, like offering treasures, Ming Ge smiled with his eyes full of bright teeth and said

"Hey, Your Highness, do you know that recently I discovered that I not only have a lifespan of Qiongqi, but also use Qiongqi's power. It's quite interesting!"

Taking a bite of preserved yellow peach, and feeding a dried strawberry to Muyan who was sitting on the table, Lantiere suddenly said with serious eyes

"Ming Ge, you know the bone box in the Jiange, how is it now?"

Shaking his head lightly, Ming Ge said truthfully

"I'm not very clear about this. Your Highness, you also know that after you went to the north to eliminate the weird and evil spirit last time, the box didn't make trouble anymore."

Nodding lightly, Lantiere looked at the childish old farm owner who was approaching on tiptoe, squatting down halfway, with his chin resting on his hands, looking curiously at the little Mu Yan who finished eating dried strawberries on the table and buried himself in other preserved fruits. Stay focused.

Not far away, on a big tree, there appeared a man with red hair, golden eyes, and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, looking at Lantiere with full eyes.

Looking up to meet the opponent's eyes, Lantiere squinted and smiled slightly.
