Sign a contract?
what contract?
The young man's red pupils became brighter in the darkness. He seemed to see through the meaning of the old man's words. He didn't even ask the content, but asked calmly, "When will the contract be signed at the earliest?"
"It will be ready in three days," the old man narrowed his eyes, "you don't need to think about it again?"
"Elder Zhuyu, please explain clearly," Ye Ling frowned, and couldn't help interrupting, "We need to think about it."
"I don't know if Yunqing has made it clear to you. The last time I saw a man who can give birth, the situation is almost exactly the same as yours. It's just that the physical condition of that human man is far inferior to yours, and—"
"His demon partner is not willing to sign a contract."
Seeing that the two men with dignified expressions did not speak, the old man went on to say, "Since ancient times, what has been gained has always been lost. The child in your womb should not have come to this world; if you want to save him, you should pay the corresponding price."
Ye Ling's pupils shrank.
"But if the price is borne by the two of you, the damage you should have suffered will also be halved."
"Then we don't sign—"
"We can sign," Jing Xi hurriedly interrupted, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Stinky boy, listen to the old man." The old man rolled his eyes at the two of them, but his tone was not harsh, "It's not as bad as you think, but it's just to make the demon king lose some 'privileges', such as - your lifespan .”
Apart from the hardness of the physical body, there is a huge difference in the lifespan between demons and humans; even if they cultivate immortals, the lifespan of human beings is hardly a hundred years; while the lifespan of ordinary demons is at least hundreds of years, and if the cultivation base is higher, it can be thousands of years It's not surprising either.
The two suddenly realized.
What Elder Zhuyu meant was that if Ye Ling signed a contract with Jing Xi, it would be equivalent to a grasshopper tied to a rope; Jingxi's remaining lifespan will be halved.
At this time, the young man showed a relieved smile, and the smile almost overflowed from his eyes, "I sign."
"Jing Xi."
Ye Ling didn't even have time to lift the last black curtain, her cold face was a little annoyed, her brows were furrowed, "Don't even discuss it with me, isn't it too hasty."
After the old man finished talking about the conditions, Jing Xi agreed without any hesitation; if the contract hadn't required a three-day bath to prepare, Ye Ling suspected that the young man might have signed the contract on the spot.
Facing Ye Ling's dissatisfaction, the young man was satisfied, and pressed his forehead against his forehead, "This is very good."
That way no one leaves first.
Jing Xi looked at Ye Ling seriously, her eyes seemed to be silently telling the man: Master, I can't bear the days without you alone.
The two went out of the house and came to the door, but there was no sign of Yu Lian and Yun Qing; when the two were about to find someone, a translator came over and told them in slightly jerky Central Plains dialect that Yu Lian and Yun Qing were going to The rear is the place to live.
"Cold face, why are you unhappy?"
There is a lake next to the place where the four of them settled down; Yunqing took off her shoes and socks, picked up a few round stones and played in the water by the lake; after a few floats, the girl was a little tired, she sat on the ground and looked up at the sky , there was a hint of melancholy on her always carefree little face:
"Actually, I really envy you. You have such a high level of cultivation, you can go wherever you want."
"It's not like me. I'll either be trapped in a deep palace all my life, or marry as a wife and bear children. I'll never be able to do what I like."
Yu Lian didn't speak to her, she leaned against the tree trunk and closed her eyes.
The little girl didn't care, and continued on in a rambling manner; she said that Qingyu had just ascended the throne at that time, and the court was full of opposition, how he and the queen mother fought alone to win the imperial power, and how his second brother lost his lover How crazy, and finally talk about myself.
"At that time, no one cared about me, and I couldn't go out. I looked at the sky above my head all day long; so every day I thought, when will this day be the end, and I want to go out to see the sun and the scenery outside."
"There are always people who envy my status as the eldest princess, but I don't want to be the eldest princess at all. I just want to live for myself."
It seemed that she was tired, Yun Qing paused, looked back at Yu Lian who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and asked him, "Yu Lian, do you understand what I mean?"
The young man didn't bother to open his eyes, and simply said, "I don't understand."
Before the girl could speak, the young man leaning against the trunk suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, and respectfully called out "Master".
Ye Ling nodded, came to Yu Lian's side, smiled, "Yu Lian, can we talk?"
Almost half of the land in the Western Regions is deserted, but the land of the Wu people is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Yu Lian and Ye Ling walked along the lake for a while, came to a small mountain, and then walked all the way up.
The young man followed Ye Ling with lowered eyes like tens of thousands of times before.
"During this period of time, I have recovered some memories intermittently, Yu Lian, do you still remember what you said to me when we first met?"
"The disciple dare not forget."
When the old fox king handed Xiao Yu Lian to Ye Ling, the boy's eyes were full of determination, and he told Ye Ling in a crisp voice:
He wants to become stronger, he wants to stand on the top of the highest mountain in the world and see the best scenery.
"It was because of this sentence that I decided to accept you as an apprentice."
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the top of the hill, where they could already overlook the scenery of the entire Wu clan, "But now, what's stuck you?"
Yu Lian was speechless.
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the smoke curling up at the foot of the mountain, which was dyed red by the fire.
She asked Yu Lian if the scenery was pretty.
The youth said it looked good.
"Then tell me, what I see now is exactly the same as what you see."
After pondering for a moment, the young man slowly shook his head, "It's not exactly the same."
"Even though we stand on the top of the mountain with different perspectives, we all feel that the scenery is pleasant." The cool evening breeze slightly blew Ye Ling's temples, he turned to look at Yu Lian, his voice was very soft,
"I know there must be a beautiful view on the top of the mountain you mentioned, but I also want to climb to the top of my own mountain."
"Climb to the top of your own mountain..."
- I just want to live for myself.
"You still have a long future, and you still have a long way to go. I don't want to be your stumbling block. What you want to stand on is not the top of this mountain, but a higher and more exciting peak."
Speaking of Ye Ling smiled, "But remember to come back often, I will miss you very much."
No matter how many times you think about it, Ye Ling will feel distressed by the experience of young people; Yu Lian lost his parents when he was young, and grew up alone in Xuanqingzong, and regarded Ye Ling as his only relative; Witnessed Master being killed again.
At that time, he was alone and weak, so he could only secretly carry Ye Ling's body back, guarding a crystal coffin in a dark stone cave, groping alone for several years in despair.
Even if he put aside the tail he lost because of this, Ye Ling could hardly imagine how Yu Lian survived with just the thought of "saving Master back to life" just in those hopeless days.
Three years ago, Yu Lian still had a smile on his face, but today, three years later, I can no longer see him smiling.
The young man still lowered his eyes, and the end of his eyes turned red at some point; Ye Ling sighed softly when he saw this, stretched out his arms to hug him, and patted his back with both hands to comfort him,
"Don't be afraid, I won't leave this time."
Yu Lian's originally extremely stiff body began to tremble slightly under Ye Ling's soft voice; after a long time, Ye Ling finally felt the warm wetness on her neck.
"You are back!"
Obediently waiting for the two people to come down at the foot of the mountain, Yunqing's eyes were clear, she greeted the two people who were coming, and said with a smile to Ye Ling, "Brother Jing is afraid that you are not used to the food here, so let's cook first."
Then he turned his head to look at Yu Lian, and said "Huh" curiously, "Why are your eyes red, are you uncomfortable?"
Ye Ling was about to go to the dining room to look for Jing Xi, but on the way back, she heard the little girl chattering, and the topic was always grabbing Yu Lian's eyes.
The young man frowned, showing impatience, but he didn't push away the people who came up frequently.
"Jing Xi."
Ye Ling came to Jingxi's side, and watched the young man dipped in flour and was skillfully kneading the dough. His dexterous and slender fingers were kneading the dough into various shapes.
Hearing Ye Ling's voice, the young man immediately raised his head, his eyes flickered, "Master."
Ye Ling recalled what he said last time when he specially made sweet cakes for himself, picked up a flower-shaped cake with some guilt, and praised, "I didn't expect you to have such abilities with your hands."
The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, leaned his head closer, and jokingly said softly,
"The hands are more dexterous at night, Master, do you want to try?"
With her cheeks flushed, Ye Ling saw the cunning in Jing Xi's eyes, and couldn't help but use her flour-soaked hand to wring his face, leaving a trace of flour, "I'll tell you to talk about it later."
Jing Xi didn't mind, she raised her hand and wiped some flour on Ye Ling's face, then embraced Ye Ling, her tone was unprecedentedly relaxed,
"Master, I haven't been this happy for a long time."
"Ah, I'm so envious of Brother Jing, who has such a good partner as Brother Ye."
Yu Lian outside the door looked at the two people in the room who were smiling, his eyes fell on Ye Ling's face, and he replied softly, "Yes."
"Hey wait a minute!" Yunqing suddenly jumped up from the stone bench in the courtyard, glanced at the colorful pastries on the chopping board, and said, "Brother Jing doesn't make all desserts, does he? I thought he was Let’s make meat buns!”
After finishing speaking, the girl turned her head, rolled up her sleeves and looked at Yu Lian, "How about this! This princess sees that your eyes are not feeling well today, so I will cook for you and make some buns for you!"
Said that these two thin and short arms swung in a big circle, "Put so--a lot of meat!"
Yu Lian sneered, "You?"
"Oh! How dare you laugh at this princess!" Yun Qing ran into the kitchen without saying a word, and asked Ye Ling with a smile if she could borrow half of the kitchen.
Yu Lian was still lazily leaning against the door frame, watching the girl's face covered with flour in a short while, with a smile in her eyes that she hadn't even noticed.
During these three days in the Wu family, Ye Lingjingxi took a bath according to the arrangement arranged by Elder Zhuyu in advance; and in the morning of the third day, she changed into a light gauze and went to the designated room to wait.
The two sat opposite each other, and Ye Ling could even clearly see the young man's gently undulating abdominal muscles through a layer of tulle that seemed to be there, so he glanced down unconsciously.
Then he saw, under the towel, the outline of a gigantic creature that was peaceful but still surprisingly large.
With a light cough, Ye Ling, whose cheeks were hot, hurriedly shifted her gaze away, but the young man suddenly laughed out loud, mouthing in silence,
"Master, don't worry, wait a little longer."
Ye Ling's face became even hotter. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the door outside the screen being pushed open. Elder Zhuyu walked in slowly, and an old voice sounded:
"are you ready."
The author has something to say: Second update!

The young man's red pupils became brighter in the darkness. He seemed to see through the meaning of the old man's words. He didn't even ask the content, but asked calmly, "When will the contract be signed at the earliest?"
