Pick up the Dragon

It was already late at night, and the intermittent chirping of insects outside the house seemed to echo the twinkling stars in the sky. I don't know if those stars were someone's eyes, watching the world in the dark.

Qianyue lay quietly on the beam of the house, his breathing was not as loud as the sound of crickets swinging their antennae.Suddenly her whole body tensed up, her thumb pressed against the blade, and she held her breath and looked at the door intently.

The door was gently pushed open, and two figures, one white and one gray, stopped in front of the bed. The person on the bed was still asleep, with one hand resting on his forehead, as if he was very relaxed.

Li Yi slowly sat down on the side of the bed, his eyes traced a side of Peng Yu's face, his overly pale hands covered his eyes, his rounded nails gradually became as sharp as knives, it was a dragon paws.

Qianyue bowed his back into a string that stretched to the full moon, like a cat about to explode, his nails on the knife grid turned white, and his five fingers were almost clenched into the handle of the knife.She wasn't sure whether the ghost-slaying knife was effective against dragons, but she knew very clearly that she couldn't kill the two dragons below who couldn't figure out their cultivation.

She was extremely nervous, her heartbeat was beating like a drum, but she had to keep her breathing steady and long, so as not to reveal her whereabouts.Fortunately, the attention of the two dragons was on Peng Yu, and they didn't notice a little girl with slender arms and legs squatting on the beam for a while.

She didn't know if she could temporarily repel the two dragons with one blow, and at the same time wake up the unknown young master. She didn't know how long it would take for the young master to escape from the confused state, and how far he could run.She also has a signal flare in her hand, which can summon the Peng family guards who are on standby nearby, but can a few guards block the attack of two dragons?

For the first time, she felt how insignificant a creature like a human being is, but she didn't have time to be sentimental, and she had already made a decision in a split second—she gritted her teeth fiercely, put on her toes, and the ghost sword in her hand was about to unsheathed!

However, at this moment, her figure suddenly stopped, and a voice broke the tension in the darkness.

"King," Jiu Yuan opened his mouth softly, and said plainly, "It's useless if you want his eyes now, Qian Kun eyes can't be used as mirrors until they fully wake up."

Li Yi's breath was stagnant, his nails were retracted quickly, and at the same time he withdrew his hand: "If I wait for him to regain his sight before taking it, how is it different from 'them'?"

Jiu Yuan thought for a while and said, "At least you can save his life, those people won't care about that."

"yes."

Jiu Yuan stared at the indifferent face of his own Dragon King, as if something had rolled to the tip of his tongue, but he hesitated and dared not speak, his lips opened and closed three times in a row before he spit out: "And..."

"What else?"

"If it's really a desperate time," he slid his Adam's apple with difficulty, "Qianyue wants to stop you, please don't hurt her, she...is a good girl."

After he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his eyelids, like a clam closing its shell tightly.The guard, who was not good at speaking, seemed to be gloomy and unclear in his heart, and it took him all his life to pry open his clamshell, and spit out a pearl that was neither regular nor round, and ugly in appearance.

Qian Yue's whole body trembled suddenly, as if she was frozen, her eyes widened almost in astonishment, from this angle she couldn't see the expression on his face, only the faded gray hair.

Li Yi gently tucked Peng Yu's hand on his forehead back into the quilt, the summer was coming to an end unconsciously, and the nights were not so hot.He sighed helplessly: "In your eyes, am I a king who hurts the lives of mortals at will?"

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Jiu Yuan tightly pursed his lips.

Li Yi stood up and took a few steps, then looked back with reluctance: "I'm going out for a walk, you watch him."

The two left the house one after the other, and the door was closed again without a sound.The moment the door closed, Peng Yu opened his eyes suddenly, sober as if he had never fallen asleep at all.

Qian Yue stopped breathing, and for a moment his out-of-focus eyes met her, making her almost think she had been discovered.Then it occurred to him that he couldn't see, so he quickly jumped off the ground and said softly, "Master."

Peng Yu didn't seem to be surprised that she was here, and sat up slowly, with slight wrinkles between his brows.Qian Yue asked softly again: "Master, shall we go?"

Peng Yu didn't answer, but got out of bed gropingly, Qian Yue hurriedly gave him a hand.He walked to the door without saying a word, paused his hand in front of the door and hesitated, then pulled it away suddenly——

A long white shadow stood tall outside the door, standing against the light, the shadow was blurred by the faint light in the corridor.

The knife in Qian Yue's hand finally came out of the sheath with a "choke".

Jiu Yuan watched his Dragon King leave, and the Dragon King confessed to "watch Peng Yu", and the upright guard poked at the door straightly.With his back against the wall, his eyes were a little loose because he had nowhere to cast his eyes. A little starlight leaked in from the window in the corridor, reflecting the shadows of the trees, and cast mottled under his feet.

Suddenly he was startled by a certain sound, turned his head and saw the door opened, Peng Yu came out unsteadily, stood at the door and stretched, as if he closed the door casually.Jiu Yuan glanced at him in surprise, and asked, "Why did you wake up?"

Peng Yu was obviously taken aback, jumped away with a "huh", and patted his chest in shock: "What are you doing, you are staying at the door of someone's house in the middle of the night? Bullying me blind?"

Jiu Yuan pursed his lips, feeling a little wronged, subconsciously argued for himself: "No."

His pale and feeble argument was really hard to beat Young Master Peng's eloquence. This young master was probably a little annoyed when he got up, and his saliva flew around for a while, almost drowning Jiu Yuan in it.Finally, he couldn't bear to interrupt the other party's long speech: "What are you doing up?"

"Oh," Peng Yu seemed to have just remembered something serious, "I'm going to relieve myself."

Jiu Yuan carefully looked at his eyes without pupils. He was really afraid that he would accidentally fall into the latrine, so he couldn't hold back his kindness: "Do you want me to help you?"

"Huh?" Peng Yu showed an exaggeratedly frightened expression, "Help me? Where? Up or down?"

Jiu Yuan: "..."

One sentence successfully shut up the dragon guard, and Peng Yu waved his hand indifferently, not realizing how stupid his behavior was.He turned around and went in the opposite direction of Jiuyuan, groped along the wall, and choked back the question that the other party hadn't asked: "Know the way, I've been there during the day!"

Jiu Yuan squeezed the center of his brows speechlessly, looking at someone's swaying back, suddenly had a certain intuition that snakes climbed up his back like a snake.

wrong.

When they went in just now, they saw that Peng Yu was clearly sleeping with his clothes on, why is he only wearing unlined clothes now?Do you have to take off your clothes when you come out to relieve yourself?

The figure of that person had disappeared around the corner, Jiu Yuan suddenly widened his eyes, and kicked open the door——

"Why are you back again!" Qianyue let out a low cry, the ghost-slaying knife in his hand buzzed non-stop after it was unsheathed, the sharp blade was like the sharp claws of some kind of beast that eats meat and drinks blood.She stopped Peng Yu behind her, and greeted the person with her eyes unmoved. There was a long-suppressed anger in her chest that made her blood boil, which made her feel unaware of fear for a moment.

Li Yi didn't know when to go back and forth, he was staring at her coldly, the amber in his eyes was more solid than ever, and there was even a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.He glanced contemptuously at the knife in Qian Yue's hand, and said in a calm tone: "It's so late, where are you two going?"

"I don't need you anywhere..."

"Qianyue," Peng Yu had already judged who was coming by hearing the voice, and suddenly grabbed her arm, and calmly gave orders, "You can't beat him, you back down."

"...Master!"

"Go back."

Qian Yue took a step back reluctantly, his eyes still poking at the Dragon King's face, wishing he could burn a hole out of it.Li Yi took a step forward, stepped on the threshold, and stood in front of Peng Yu.

"You shouldn't have run away," he said. "I wanted to save your life."

Peng Yu frowned, and heard a bit of strangeness from the voice: "If you hadn't stood in front of my door, I just opened the door to get some air."

"Really." The sneer at the corner of Li Yi's mouth curled up into a more obvious arc, but it's a pity that Master Peng couldn't see it.He raised his hand slowly, stretched out his five fingers and sharp claws, and grabbed Peng Yu's face silently.

"Master!"

Qian Yue's whole body moved in response to the sound, her right hand was wrapped in a fierce fist and smashed towards Li Yi's face. With a swipe, she shifted the Ghost Slashing Knife to her left hand at some point, and picked it up from bottom to top, with a "stab", the sharp blade cut through the Dragon King's sleeve, and cut directly to the flesh!

At the same time, she brushed the opponent's ear with her right fist and swung out, using her momentum, she threw the signal flare tightly in her hand toward the corridor window!

An indescribably annoyed expression appeared on Li Yi's face, his eyes darkened, and a gust of wind erupted all over his body, knocking Qianyue Lianren away with his knife, and at the same time grabbed behind him with his uninjured hand. The signal flare that was about to break out of the window was crushed by him in mid-air!

The signal flare suddenly misfired, and it was completely wiped out with a "poof".Qianyue took several steps back before he could stand still. Seeing that the last way of retreat was also cut off, he stopped breathing, and then hit the opponent again without fear of life or death.

Peng Yu stared at him, he could only feel the air blowing around him, but he couldn't see what happened.Immediately afterwards, he heard a loud "boom", accompanied by Qianyue's uncontrollable groan of pain, something knocked over to the ground in a chaotic manner.

He didn't expect that Li Yi would really hurt someone, and all the doubts and confusion turned into anger that went straight to his forehead. He thought that they had been friends for more than a month, but who would have thought that they would be friends when they broke their faces? So merciless!

He just told Qian Yue that he wanted to trust them!

A suffocating breath stuck in his throat, and he suffocated for a second before gushing out: "You fucking have the guts to come at me! What kind of a hero is bullying women, even a piece of trash like you is worthy of being the Dragon King?"

Li Yi seemed to be provoked by him, and immediately let go of Qian Yue who couldn't get up, and pinched Peng Yu's neck with his sharp dragon claws.Peng Yu only felt a strong force stuck on his fragile throat, the carotid arteries on both sides were firmly held down, and no blood flow could reach the brain through the clamp.

Consciousness receded like a tide, he couldn't make a sound, and couldn't see anything, his hands limply clasped the other's wrist, only to feel that the cold and iron-like wrist bones were so strange——

"Peng Yu!"

Jiu Yuan kicked open the door, and saw that the room was in a mess, the windows were wide open, and the inn's beautifully decorated lattice almost collapsed, and the items placed on it fell down, covering an unconscious person.His pupils constricted violently, and he hugged Qian Yue out in a panic, only to see the blood gushing from her forehead, he didn't know whether she was alive or not, and finally couldn't help but let out a roar like a dragon's chant: "King!"

Li Yi, who had already left Huazhou City and was strolling along the river, was startled by this voice, suddenly raised his head, his heart thumped, and he was gripped by an ominous premonition.He returned to the inn in a short time, and appeared in front of Jiu Yuan in a flash, his eyes swept around quickly, and he knew that there had just been a fierce battle here without asking.

He didn't see Peng Yu's figure at the first time, and his heart sank into the icy snow water. He almost restrained his emotions about to explode, squatted down, and tried to dive with his fingertips trembling slightly. Yue snorted, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter to her."

The blue light poured out from his palm, and the wound stopped bleeding instantly.Jiu Yuan stood up suddenly, turned into a dragon and chased him out of the window.Li Yi put Qian Yue aside carefully, and spread his eyes along the cracks in the floor, and finally found a few drops of blood that did not belong to Qian Yue on the ground near the door.

He dipped a little bit with his fingertips, put it on the tip of his nose and rubbed it carefully, and then instantly narrowed his eyes.There was a depressing dragon roar in his ear, and Jiu Yuan swept back with the strong wind, his eyes shattered and he roared angrily: "They ran away!"

He succinctly described everything that happened just now, his eyes were flushed, and he gritted his teeth: "It's all because I didn't like it..."

"I don't blame you," Li Wei stood up, and he quickly figured it out. He said as calmly as possible, "It should be an illusion that confused you. The 'Peng Yu' you saw was a fake. Someone pretended to be you or me and kidnapped the real Peng Yu. Even I didn't notice them approaching, the other party must have a very high level of cultivation, but he seems to be injured, there is blood...should be able to follow the breath..."

He stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, because he suddenly saw a golden light flying in from the window.He took a step back subconsciously, only to see a flash of golden light, and a piece of letter paper filled with fairy air slowly unfolded, and words different from the human world emerged little by little on the paper.

He saw the writing on the paper clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he copied the letter paper in his hand with an almost livid face.His whole body trembled violently, his five fingers clenched uncontrollably, and the letter paper instantly turned into powder in his hands.

"Go and find..." He clenched his teeth tightly, every word seemed to be scraped between his teeth several times before he struggled to escape, accompanied by scorching breath, and erupted like a tsunami, "The ends of the earth, the corners of the earth, Dig three feet and find him for me!"
