moonlit night

When Jing Li came out from the white jade tomb, it was still dawn, he raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly to adjust to the outside light, and the turbulent waves in his eyes gradually calmed down.

But this pretended calm was ruthlessly broken when his eyes touched a lazy black cat not far away.

Seeing that it was discovered, the cat didn't panic, it licked its paws, gave a low "meow", and suddenly said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how is the palace master?"

That was clearly Shara's joking voice.

While saying this, the black cat grinned and stared closely at Jing Li with green eyes that seemed to be human.How strange this scene is, combined with the dark sky and the gloomy forest at the moment, it is creepy, but Jing Li seems to be used to it, and he is not surprised, but just stands there, sneering: "Thanks to you, everything It is still under control. Zhe Guixian will be coming soon, what new plans do you have?"

The black cat walked towards Jingli with graceful steps, and when it got close, it jumped onto his shoulder with one step, stretched its paw down, and it was right on his heart, patted it, and opened its mouth and said: "What a shameless cat!" Conscience, even if you don't want me to help you ascend the throne, you shouldn't forget that the palace lord hasn't given what I want."

"We didn't seem to say that at the beginning," Jing Li raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't seem to suit your style to say that you are paid before the matter is over. Why, what happened, so you are in a hurry?"

"No, I just want to remind you first, so that you won't be too ruthless to deal with your little one and ruin our event." The black cat smiled softly, and jumped off Jing Li's shoulder. Walking around him slowly, he said, "Besides, I also want to ask, has Mr. Wang Shu's followers arrived in Xiaoxiang?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"It's not related to me, it's related to what you and I planned," the black cat said slowly: "The palace master thinks, now that the Demon Lord is seriously injured, if coupled with the civil strife among the Demon Race, is it a good way to get rid of their control?" Chance?"

"Civil turmoil?" Jing Li is smart after all, although he hasn't thought of the key yet, he immediately thought of it: "Is it related to Wang Shujun's apprentice?"

"Yeah, it's related to that little doll named Jun Changye." The black cat stretched its tail contentedly, as if hearing the name made it very happy, "What needs to be done now is to make him as close as possible to that little demon boy." Get in touch more, girl. As for the rest, let’s just take it one step at a time. By the way, let me tell you in advance that the blood of the previous Demon Lord is flowing on him, so if possible, try to stimulate his demonic nature."

Jing Li thought for a moment, then quickly accepted this statement, nodded and said: "Understood, but I have to tell you in advance that Mr. Wang Shu is also here."

Hearing this, the fur on the black cat's body exploded, and after a long silence, it trembled and grinned, "He's here, it's considered... just what I want, interesting and interesting, it seems that Xiaoxiang's recent It's going to be very lively, Palace Master Jing, just wait and see. Besides, I myself recently crossed the river with a mud bodhisattva, and I can't see the raccoon slave, so I entrust you to take care of it first."

After saying the last sentence, the black cat completely closed its mouth, stared at Jing Li coldly with a pair of green eyes, and said, "It's already very reluctant for Master Meow to keep you. If you have any objections, I will scratch you to death." " look.

Jing Li put his hands on his chest, looked at it coldly for a while, finally sighed, strode forward, roughly pinched the back of the black cat's neck and picked it up.

The next morning.

"Brother Zhao, what is this?" Luo Mingjia asked in surprise, pointing at the yellow and white cat nestled in Jing Zhao's arms.

After a long talk with Luo Qingluan last night, Mrs. Jing has successfully changed from an impulsive resentful woman to a resentful woman who tries her best to calm down and stop Luo Qingluan from being impulsive. At this moment, in front of others, she still has to try her best to maintain the relationship between a loving couple appearance.

On the other hand, she was really surprised that Jing Zhao brought back a cat, because in her impression, her husband never seemed to be a person who cared about furry animals.

"I found it at the gate of the hall last night. I probably broke in by mistake. I thought it was quite docile and cute, and it didn't have an owner, so I picked it up." Jing Zhao smiled and pulled it back calmly. Pulling his sleeves to cover up the criss-cross scratches on his arms, "How about it, do you like it?"

At this moment, Li Nu, who was successfully disguised by Jing Li as a cat, huddled into a small ball in his arms to show that he was indeed "docile" and "cute".

"I like it." Luo Mingjia smiled brightly, the joy seemed to come from the heart, he took the flower cat generously, and naturally kissed Jing Zhao on the face while getting closer.

Jun Changye, who was standing by the side, silently recorded this scene in his heart, then raised his eyes to look at Yue Qingchen beside him, and unconsciously began to think if he would give the master some kind of spirit beast, whether he would like.

He hadn't come to a conclusion yet, when he heard the cat in Luo Mingjia's arms "meow" with great joy, then jumped off the ground with a stride, swiftly rushed to Jun Changye, and began to rub around the hem of his clothes Ahhh, he lay down on the ground undefended, showing his white belly to Jun Changye.

This scene... seems familiar.

"Changye always attracts spirit beasts very much," Luo Qingluan said with emotion, "Master, I still remember that when I didn't become a master, I heard someone say that almost all spirit beasts would change when they were in his hands. Be very nice."

Yue Qingchen nodded slightly to show his agreement, and at the same time, he saw that the cat's coat color was not right, but he was too lazy to point it out, so he didn't say much, and turned to Jing Zhao: "Tomorrow, the contestants of this year will go to the water side to draw lots. As for the scheduled days, is there any difference in the competition system compared to the previous one?"

Jun Changye squatted down and stroked the fur on the cat's belly absently, feeling a little disappointed that Yue Qingchen didn't like spirit beasts.

"Brother Yue really expected it," Jing Zhao said with a light smile, "The biggest difference between this preliminary competition and the last one is that instead of fighting one-on-one, it adopts a teamwork system."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperation, a team of two, one male and one female, teammates in the same group will be randomly assigned by the host."

It seems that the format of the game is still as described in the original description. If so, the result should be predictable.

Great, ready to proceed to the next step as planned.

Yue Qingchen pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Jing Zhao: "The match is imminent, presumably Ningbi Palace, as one of the hosts, must be busy with a lot of things, so Yue will stop bothering me, thank you Palace Master for your hospitality, and leave."

He said this with the intention of avoiding suspicion. Jing Zhao is so sophisticated that he would not fail to see it, so he immediately smiled and said: "Alright, after the Zhegui meeting is over, I will definitely invite Brother Yue to my Ningbi Palace." Live here for a while, no matter what, you will live for a year or so, and at that time, brother Yue must not shirk."

"Yes, then Qingluan will be able to stay with me and my second brother in Xiaoxiang for a while longer." Luo Mingjia echoed with great interest.

Hearing this, Yue Qingchen smiled faintly, but in the end she didn't agree, she just called the three disciples and took them away from Ningbi Palace.

This is exactly what Jun Changye wanted. He had already noticed that something was wrong with Jing Zhao, and he was extremely disgusted with Gu Xichen's appearance. Jing Zhao and Gu Xichen seemed to have a good relationship, and he might try to help mediate the conflict between her and the master.

In short, every moment he stayed in Ningbi Palace made him feel irritable, and he wished he could leave as soon as possible.

He naturally wanted to leave, but the coquettish cat refused to let him go, and followed him straight after he got up, as if he wanted to go with Jun Changye.

It wasn't until Jing Zhao pinched the back of the neck and lifted it up again that it finally woke up a little bit, staring unwillingly at the direction Jun Changye left.

Don't mention it here, let's say that after leaving Ningbi Palace, the four of them abandoned the waterway and took the land road, concentrating their spiritual energy along the way, intending to find an inn in Xiaoxiang first, and then go to the inn with Dabo people tomorrow. water side.

The city closest to Zaishui is called Chunshui City, which is roughly derived from the words Chunri Yunze and Zaishui. Most monks who come to Xiaoxiang will settle here, and the city is bustling with people. There are many restaurants and teahouses, and there is a sense of fireworks in the peaceful world.

At this time, as soon as the few people arrived at the gate of Chunshui City, they saw crowds of people in front of them. There are too many, and it is impossible to see clearly what is surrounded by the innermost.

"What are those people in front doing?" Xiao Ziyuan stretched his neck to squeeze over there, as he was always very lively, and then quickly grabbed a monk wearing a hat who had just retreated from the crowd, and asked loudly: "Excuse me, over there." what happened?"

The monk saw that he was well dressed, as if he came from a great sect, so he cupped his hands and said politely: "This little brother is not like a local. Seeing that you are dressed so extraordinary, you must have a very good master. What, are you also here to attend the meeting?"

"Yes, yes," Xiao Ziyuan was a little impatient, thinking why this person didn't focus on what he said, but he still patiently asked him: "What's wrong over there?"

"Brother, don't worry, just listen to me speak slowly," the monk continued, "Three days ago, a fox spirit appeared in Chunshui City. The little fox was very cute and energetic. The second lady of the city lord's house liked it very much, but she couldn't catch the fox because it was haunted, so the city lord Chunshui posted a notice, saying that if someone could send the fox to the city lord's mansion unscathed, he would be able to agree unconditionally. The matter of that person. The promise of the city lord is more important than a thousand pieces of gold, so..."

Xiao Ziyuan frowned and listened to the slow words, and thought that the fox would be taken away after you finished speaking, so he shouted after listening to the main point: "So that's the case, thank you very much!"

After finishing speaking, he trotted back in a hurry, intending to tell Master the news as soon as possible.

I heard that the owner of Chunshui City has collected a lot of good things in his hands for so many years as the owner of the city. If he is willing to make such a promise this time, he must be prepared for a hemorrhage. When the time comes, if he really wants to catch that fox, hehe, he must have a good discussion. How to kill him.

The monk looked at his impatient back, shook his head and sneered, and then disappeared into the crowd of people around him.

"Oh, that's how it is," Luo Qingluan waved his hands after hearing the information that Xiao Ziyuan sent back from the front line, with a look of no surprise, "It's not unreasonable for the city lord to love his daughter like a fool, so he did such absurd things." Maybe, why, senior brother, what kind of plan are you planning?"

"Of course it's a good kill!" Xiao Ziyuan rubbed his hands and said, "The competition will start soon. If we can kill a high-grade spiritual weapon, it will also help us win glory for our sect!"

Luo Qingluan gave him a contemptuous look, and said, "Where's the fox?"

"Fox?" Xiao Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, "Of course it was handed over to Chang Ye."

"I don't care," Jun Changye frowned, as if it had nothing to do with him, "If you want, go by yourself."

"Don't," Xiao Ziyuan wanted to analyze the pros and cons again, "Look, wait... I'll go, what is that?"

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned to see a group of snow-white hairy balls struggling to squeeze away the group of people he had just seen and rushing towards this side, followed by a group of monks holding various props and magic weapons , there are ropes, covers, cages, and traps, all of them are impatient, with the expression of "I'm sure to win" on their faces, and shouting: "Stop it, stop it" and other words .

Seeing this crazy scene, Jun Changye subconsciously turned his head to look at Yue Qingchen, and saw that he was also looking at the running white ball, as if he was thinking about something, and his eyes seemed to move with vague intentions.

Jun Changye quickly caught Yue Qingchen's interest in this fox, and immediately ignored the image, and when the fur ball was about to run to his feet, he leaned over and threw himself, hugged the white meat ball tightly and rolled three times on the ground, finally Slowing down the momentum, he held it firmly in his hand.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, when Jun Changye wobbled to his feet holding the battered fur ball, Xiao Ziyuan only had time to slap him loudly, and then boasted: "Junior brother, what are you doing?" beautiful!"

Immediately afterwards, he moved closer to Jun Changye and whispered, "Why are you willing again?"

"Because," Jun Changye glanced at him and said slowly, "I want it again."
