Fragrant honey stars

When the two of them wandered around the mortal world again because Chen Xing was worried about the gray egg in Xin's house, Runyu followed her, and seeing that she seemed to return to her heart, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

If it wasn't because of Chen Xing's blood, they had already established a faint connection, if it wasn't for the feeling that the evil spirit in the egg was about to dissipate... If it wasn't for seeing that Chen Xing really liked that guy...

Runyu followed Chen Xing into the door, saw that Chen Xing had already hugged the gray egg in his arms to check again, sighed and put away the lantern in his hand.

It happened to be the Lantern Festival tonight in the world, and the two walked side by side on the bustling streets, each casting spells tacitly to transform into another, much more ordinary face.

He has been with her in such a tacit understanding in the mortal world for nearly two months.

The two of them were still in that small mountain courtyard most of the time, but they often came to the world together to wander around.Looking for some good snacks, looking at some different scenery, looking for some fresh books, Chen Xing even pulled him out of a whim to hide his body and run to the palace in the world to watch a play...

The longer they get along, the clearer and more vivid her figure and image become in his eyes and in his heart.He felt as if he had fallen into the quicksand of the swamp a long time ago, getting deeper and deeper day by day, but he was willing and never wanted to escape.

He watched her become more and more familiar with him, watched her look at him more softly, watched her become more indulgent towards him, and gradually he could no longer suppress his eagerness to move.

For tonight's Lantern Festival, he nervously and hopefully handed her a water-patterned palace lantern. When she took it over with a frank smile after being stunned for a moment, it was clear that in his eyes the street was still black and white. All kinds of lanterns seemed to flash with the color of glass, illuminating all the scenery in front of him.

Everything is so beautiful.

When he was about to hold her hand, she thought of the gray egg that was inconvenient to bring out at home, and she was not at ease thinking that it was getting late, so she returned home in such a hurry.He just felt that the previous joy and joy suddenly turned into a mouthful of depression in his heart, which was really unpleasant.

In the early morning of the second day, Runyu watched Chen Xing uncharacteristically put the gray egg back into the room, and saw that she took out the elixir and arranged it while pulling him to set up an enchantment, she was quite puzzled.

until……

After finishing everything, Chen Xing turned her head to face him, smiled and told him that she wanted to leave the small courtyard for a while, and take him to meet a few practicing demons whom she rarely had friendship with in the mortal world.

Most of the monsters who cultivate in the mortal world live in seclusion in the mountains, far away from villages and towns with people.Runyu and Chenxing walked against the wind, but they were not in a hurry, and they also took a look at some scenery along the way.

"When I was on the island, I mentioned to you that the first fellow practitioner I met was a deer demon." Walking against the wind, Chen Xing pulled Runyu to the ground as he approached the place where the deer demon lived in seclusion. , walking slowly is also respect for the deer demon friend: "He is much older than me, almost 6000 years old. He traveled in the world in his early years, and his vision is very wide. He taught me a lot of things that I didn't understand much. Although I regard him as a friend, he actually feels like an elder in my heart."

Runyu's eyebrows twitched, and she changed the subject and asked, "Then what's his name?"

Chen Xing laughed out loud after hearing this: "His name is Lu Yao, that is, Lu Yao who knows the horsepower. He said that it is easy to remember. But I usually call him Lao Yao."

Hearing the name "Lao Yao", Runyu paused for a moment, with a calm smile still on her face: "Oh? That's really interesting."

"Lao Yao's name is interesting, and he doesn't talk much. In comparison, Xiao Mei is more lively."

"Little sister?"

"Qingmei, she is a fox demon. Lao Yao introduced me to her. The main body is actually a red fox, but she thinks red is too vulgar, and cyan looks better, so she named herself Qingmei. She is less than two thousand years old. She's a little younger than me, and I always call her Xiaomei." Chen Xing's eyes were full of smiles, as if recalling something interesting.

Runyu sighed silently in her heart, turned away from the topic of age again, and turned her attention to the address: "The name Chen Xing calls them...is interesting."

Chen Xing paused, and gave him a meaningful look: "Do you have an idea?"

"Ok?"

"Indeed... the name Abai is not as nice as your Runyu."

Runyu looked at Chen Xing with crooked eyes and smiled: "No, I like it very much."

The smile on the corner of Chen Xing's mouth grew bigger and bigger. After thinking about it, he said to him: "If you are unbalanced, you can also get one for me. You can call it whatever you want. I won't be angry."

Runyu froze for a moment: "...Really?"

"of course."

He was silent for a moment and smiled, met her slightly disturbed gaze, and his voice was slightly low and hoarse: "Traveling the stars and sweeping the sky, the mist is vast. How about... how about calling it Miao Miao?"

Chen Xing was startled when he heard this, and quickly lowered his head to avoid his star-like eyes, feeling a little hot on his face.

"...Miaomiao?"

"Cough." Chen Xing cleared his throat, turned around and continued to move forward: "The place of Lao Yao is ahead, let's go quickly."

Looking at her back, Runyu couldn't help but chuckled, and then followed her up.

They came by coincidence, the fox demon Qingmei mentioned by Chen Xing happened to be at Lu Yao's place, once they came here, they saw both of them.

The two demons have not practiced the Tao yet, not to mention Runyu, even Chen Xing is far superior to them in the immortal body now, but before coming here, Chen Xing restrained all his breath, and Runyu did the same.

But even so, the two monsters were still a little unconsciously cautious and fearful in front of Runyu.In the end, it was the extraordinarily beautiful fox demon La Qing who bewitched Chen Xing to talk about her daughter's private affairs, and threw Runyu to the deer demon who was a little too slow to react.

Chen Xing, who was pulled to the lake in the distance, looked at Qing Mei who was relieved to be at ease after getting away from Runyu, and waited for her to ask questions.

Qing Mei stretched out her tail, hugged her in front of her and stroked her: "The one just now, is that the man you were looking for?"

Chen Xing blushed: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yo!" Qing Mei frowned: "Don't deny it, just look at the way that person looks at you, and look at your current appearance. If you say that you are nothing, I won't believe it!"

"Cough." Chen Xing cleared his throat, looked up at Qing Mei who was full of charm in front of him: "It's... not to that point yet."

"Oh? That means...have an idea?" Qing Mei approached with a tired voice: "What's going on? Tell me about it?"

Chen Xing smiled, but didn't hide it anymore, telling the truth.

Speaking of which, she has too little contact in this world, and there are some things and thoughts that she can't find anyone to talk about, so she always feels a little bored.

"In the beginning... it was an accident. At that time... I just wanted to find a partner. You know, I was not strong enough before, but after this problem was solved, he happened to bump into me, so I..."

"Yo!" Qing Mei smiled coquettishly, "You were the one who moved first?"

"No! At that time, I didn't have any idea. Speaking of it... I was fooled by him for a while. Later... Later... I thought we would go our separate ways, but who knows..."

"Ok?"

"Cough, in short... we have been together for a while. Nothing major happened, it was quite ordinary, but... I feel that life is very comfortable. Every day when I open my eyes, I feel warm in my heart, especially... happy. I think...if it’s possible, it’s fine to just go on like this.”

Qingmei's eyes flickered, revealing a faint look of nostalgia, and quickly suppressed it, regained her emotions and continued to tease: "So...you like him?"

"...well, some."

"Just some?"

Chen Xing pursed her lips: "I don't think...it's that deep...besides, I don't know what he thinks, if..."

"Come on!" Qing Mei rolled her eyes: "Why don't I believe it!"

Chen Xing didn't argue anymore, just smiled silently.

……

When Chen Xing and Qing Mei went back, Runyu was drinking tea, and Lu Yao was said to be preparing fruit for the guests.Qing Mei had been a little cautious since she came back to Runyu, and now she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this statement, she said she was going to help Lu Yao, and left quickly.

Chen Xing looked at Runyu more, and always felt that he seemed to be a little more concerned.

It's not quite accurate to say that, in fact, it's more like...something on his mind that was hooked up.

Leaving from the deer demon, and hearing from Qingmei that the rabbit demon Xiao Lian was in retreat, Chen Xing had no other plans and went back directly.

She has seen quite a few monsters in the mortal world, but there are only three of them who can talk and be called friends. Now she has seen two of them, and the other one can't come out for a short time, so there is no more. With no other thoughts, I went straight home.

On the way out, the two stopped and stopped for three days, but it only took half a day to come back.

After returning to the familiar small courtyard, Chen Xing first went to the room to have a look at the gray egg that he hadn't seen for a few days, and saw that it was still absorbing the spiritual power from the outside step by step, and the incomplete soul inside it gradually solidified.Presumably, this egg, which she had put a lot of thought into, would finally be able to come back to life.

Chen Xing was very happy in his heart, so he looked at it a few more times.

When she opened the door and walked out, Runyu was sitting in front of the table in the hall, with her head slightly lowered, wondering what she was thinking.

"Abai?" Chen Xing walked over, "What's wrong?"

Runyu looked up at her with complicated eyes.

That deer demon really did not disappoint Chen Xing's friendship, even though he couldn't hide his fear and restraint towards himself as a dragon, he still said something for Chen Xing.What he said was actually nothing, but... when the deer demon naturally asked about his identity, his past, and whether he had anything to do with the woman and banshee beside him...

"Miao Miao." He seemed to have made some decision, the brilliance in his eyes settled down, firm, yet dull.

"……Um?"

"...Is there any wine?"

"Ah?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, but still took some and put them on the table.

Chen Xing doesn't like to drink, the only ones he keeps are those that Runyu bought in Renjian Restaurant when he likes to make wine a while ago, but in the end, they are all in Chen Xing's hands.

She sat opposite him, watching him drink silently, and began to panic in her heart.

Putting down the wine glass, Runyu closed her eyes and let out a long sigh: "When I was still on the island, Miao Miao told me many things about the past. But...my past has never been mentioned to you." He seriously And he looked at her persistently, as if he wanted to engrave her in his eyes: "Miao Miao... would you like to listen?"

Chen Xing paused for a moment, then nodded slowly.

He stared at her fixedly, his eyes tender and terrified: "Before I say anything, I want...to let Miao Miao know one thing."

"……what?"

"Miao Miao... is my life... the greatest salvation."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment: "If you mean the time when I rescued you on the island, in fact..."

"No." He shook his head slowly: "It's not just saving lives."

"Ok?"

"Besides...even if it's just my life, you saved me twice."

"... twice?"

He twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at her very seriously: "In my Yuanling, I carried a curse from using forbidden techniques without authorization, and lost half of my life and life, which cannot be made up for."

"...Curse...you mean, back then?"

"Yes." He nodded: "But I don't want... to be released from your contract just like that."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't expect it.

"Miao Miao." His voice sank, as if trembling: "When I finish speaking... I wonder if you...give me another chance?"

"...You go ahead and talk."

Runyu closed her eyes: "On the Nine Heavens, the heaven where the gods live, the current Emperor of Heaven...you asked before."

"Well, I remember."

"...Emperor of Heaven, whose real body is Yinglong of the five-clawed water system, whose name is...Runyu."

"Crack!" Chen Xing's fingertips trembled, knocking over the cup in his hand.
