I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

"So," You Xia tightened his fingers holding the chopsticks, and rubbed the chopsticks unconsciously with his thumb, "so only Les can enter that place quietly, and neither can you."

"That's not true, I can also use space magic, and I can also sneak in, but I can't get too close to the black flames below." Augst immediately justified himself, "And I also went in with him, mainly Just in case, didn't you ask me to protect him, as long as he returns safely, you will give me the privilege of free hotpot restaurant for life, you won't forget, right?"

"Of course not, I'll charge you as a member later," You Xia said, "What about after that?"

"After that, it's easy. When we went, the Demon Dragon King was sleeping with his eyes closed. Les appeared next to Ude mysteriously and killed him with a single sword." August said simply and clearly. After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

You Xia froze for a moment, then asked: "That's it?"

August raised his head: "Ang?"

"Is it that easy? That's the Demon Dragon King."

You Xia even wondered if the old man omitted all the details in order to eat quickly.

"Actually, it's still a little thrilling."

Sure enough, the old man omitted something.

You Xia asked: "What?"

August stuffed the whole braised pork ribs into his mouth, spat out the bones, then squinted his eyes while chewing the pork ribs and recalled: "When Les raised his sword, the Demon Dragon King woke up."

You Xia instantly thought of the dream he had, and he asked quickly: "And then?"

The old man swallowed the food and said: "Ude wakes up, I think it's terrible. In this case, he must curse Les at all costs and drag him to hell with him. I wanted to go first... "

"You want to run away?"

"Of course it's not about running away, it's about coming back to find your majesty. If Les is really cursed, only the giant dragons may be able to find a solution, and the only ones who can contact the giant dragons are you wood elves."

"No, didn't you struggle a little at that time?" Youxia deeply felt that Augst was unreliable.

"I was too far away from them at that time. Instead of voluntarily dedicating myself and being discovered by Ude and cursed together, I might as well just leave and find a way out for Rice." Augst always found an excuse to go back.

"Hey, these are not important. Anyway, before I had time to think too much, Les reacted very quickly and slashed Ude's throat with a sword, making him unable to speak for a while.

"The subsequent fights were very thrilling and exciting. Although Ude was injured and was in a weak stage, he was a generation of dragon kings after all, so he was not so easy to deal with. However, without the magic spell, he lost the capital to fight back. , No matter how hard he struggled afterwards, it was futile. The sword that Les cut through his throat at the beginning actually sealed the outcome.

"The battle ended pretty quickly. I actually didn't do much to help. I just watched the two dragons fight. When I came back to my senses, Les had already chopped off Ude's huge dragon's head with a single sword."

A picture appeared in Youxia's mind, the scene where Rice killed Ude must be very handsome, it's a pity he wasn't there.

However, even if he went to the Eastern Continent, with his magical strength, he would not be able to enter the underground that even Oghst dared not get too close to.

Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't see the heroic appearance of Les who killed the former Dragon King.

You Xia sighed, and said softly: "I don't know when he can come back."

"It doesn't take long. Before I came, that kid went mad in the abyss. He wished he could calm down the demons in three days, so he could run back to see you." Augst comforted him, "Look Let's go, at most two months, I will definitely come back."

"is it?"

August raised his eyebrows at him, with "Listen to me, you're right" written all over his face.

In view of Augest's unreliable behavior, Youxia didn't dare to believe his words.

But thinking about it, it doesn't really make much difference whether he believes it or not. Anyway, he has to wait. It's good if he has something to look forward to, so let's just believe in the old man's prediction of "up to two months".

·

After August came back, Yuxia's life became peaceful again.

The city of Los Angeles in winter is filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Although the business of most Xiazhisen stores is relatively deserted, with so many stores, Youxia's daily life is still filled with work and study. It was full and very busy.

In such a busy life, time flows quickly, and before you know it, it is already the beginning of March.

As the weather got warmer and the trade routes reopened, the flow of people in the streets and alleys of Los City gradually recovered.

In the early morning of this day, the breeze was warm, the clouds were rolling and the clouds were relaxing, You Xia came to the luxury store early after getting up.

Recently, the business of Xiazhisen's various stores has begun to pick up. Whether it is a store or a hotel, the daily turnover is steadily increasing, and luxury stores are finally following the "bags" and "hanging ornaments". A new category has been unlocked, "Hand Decoration".

He came here early this morning to unload new goods in the store.

In addition, the recently sold goods summarized by Su Puli also need to be supplemented together.

Just as he was sitting on a chair in the rest area, downloading new products from the purchase list, the store door was suddenly pushed open, and a customer walked in.

The salesperson near the door immediately turned around to greet the customers. When she saw the faces of the customers clearly, she was obviously stunned, then quickly adjusted her expression, and greeted with a smile: "Welcome, Your Excellency, what's the matter?" Can I help you?"

When You Xia heard the words "Your Excellency the Elf", she thought it was one of her elders who had come, but when she turned around, she saw a handsome young man with long golden hair standing at the door.

The other party was wrapped in light-colored clothes and pants, with simple clothes and a pair of bows and arrows on his back. He looked like a mounted archer.

It turned out to be the light elf from Luohai Island.

It's really strange, it's the first time Youxia has seen a light elf since coming to Rose City.

"I want to see your boss." The light elf asked the salesperson.

Hearing this, the salesperson couldn't help turning her head to look at the rest area behind the stairs. The light elf followed her movements and looked up, and soon met Youxia who was sitting on the chair.

Since he came to look for him, You Xia patted his clothes and got up, temporarily put aside what he was doing, and went over to ask: "What can you do for me, Your Excellency?"

"Are you the wood elf cub who opened many shops in Ross City?"

You Xia: "..."

Wait, wood elves are wood elves, what cubs?

Even though he complained so much, Youxia still responded with a smile on the surface: "I was right."

"My name is Lukes, and I am a cavalry archer." The light elf first introduced himself, and then explained the reason: "Our queen heard that the wood elves built a new lamp forest outside the city of Los, and specially sent me here Check to see if the rumors are true."

"What if it's true?"

"Then Her Majesty the Queen will personally come to visit the Wood Elf King and congratulate the establishment of the new Wood Elf clan."

You Xia nodded, and asked again: "Then what do you want me for?"

"Without permission, I can't enter the interior of the Yingdeng Forest." The implication is to ask You Xia to take him to the new clan land.

But Youxia is also busy at the moment, besides, he came halfway, and he really doesn't know much about the relationship between the light elves and the wood elves, and it would be terrible if he did something bad with good intentions.

After pondering for a moment, You Xia simply told him directly: "I am a cub, I can't decide this matter, you can go to my elders, he is now in Wickenberg City, at No. 26 Shaylinger, he I will take you to Xinyingdeng Forest."

Lukes didn't think it was troublesome, maybe he himself knew that it was not easy to ask a cub to do it, and it would be best if an adult wood elf led the way, so he thanked Youxia and prepared to leave.

Before turning to leave, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the sapphire gold crown displayed in the central glass case.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked You Xia: "Is this for sale?"

"Yes, do you want to buy it?"

"Well, it looks good." Lukes said, "Does it have a name?"

"'Long Night's Dream'." Yuxia replied.

Lukes nodded, barely thinking about it, took out the space ring to the counter next to him and paid for 320 gold coins, and bought this extremely expensive treasure of the store.

After the light elves left, Youxia looked at the empty glass cabinet and asked Su Puli: "How long has our golden crown been here?"

Su Puli said without thinking: "It has been two months and ten days since it opened."

You Xia clicked his tongue lightly: "I originally thought that only we wood elves had money, but I didn't expect the light elves to have such rich pockets."

Su Puli: "..." She, a poor human race, didn't want to express her opinion.

"By the way, since the 'Dream of the Long Night' is sold, let's display it here with another store treasure." You Xia returned to the rest area and sat down, picking out a slap from the new goods he just bought. The large exquisite wooden box was handed to Su Puli, and said: "It is decided."

"what is this?"

"Open it and see."

Su Puli opened the lid of the wooden box, and inside the box, a mysterious and simple ring was embedded in the center of the sponge wrapped in black velvet.

A curious salesperson came over to watch, and when he saw the shape of the ring, he couldn't help opening his eyes and exclaiming: "It's so beautiful!"

Su Puli responded and agreed with her point of view.

I saw a huge drop-shaped ruby ​​set on the ring quietly sleeping in the center of the box, surrounded by a circle of black diamonds. The combination of black and red creates an excellent atmosphere, giving people a feeling of darkness and Solemn, elegant yet mysterious.

I don't know if it's the oppressive effect caused by the opaque material of the black diamond. Staring at the ruby ​​on this ring, Su Puli only felt that the entire surface of the ring exuded an inexplicable and dreadful charm.

"It's called 'Witch's Gathering'." Youxia smiled and said, "The price is slightly more expensive than 'Long Night's Dream', 350 eight gold coins."

·

Coming out of the luxury store, You Xia went straight to the diagonally opposite hotel. As soon as he entered the lobby of the hotel, he saw his old acquaintance Xiu Qi hurried out of the elevator with a satchel on his back.

You Xia looked at the marble clock on the stage in front of him, it was already nine o'clock.

He greeted Xiu Qi: "You go to work so late, aren't you afraid of being late?"

"What are you afraid of? It's right next to you anyway." Xiu Qi shouted, and quickly ran past him.

You Xia couldn't help laughing, and was about to take the elevator upstairs, when Xiu Qi stepped back, took his arm and said to him seriously: "I heard the news yesterday that Prince Yin Lin and Prince Prindeka are coming It seems that I will stay in Los Angeles for a month. My father and the others were discussing the residence of the princes yesterday. I proposed your hotel. When the time comes, it will be done. Don’t forget my credit and give me a discount on the room rate. "

After saying this, he hurried to work again.

You Xia was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize what he said.

Immediately he shook his head, Xin Dao Xiuqi took it for granted, if the princes came to play, they would definitely arrange a special mansion for them, how could they live in a place like a hotel where people come and go.

He didn't take Xiu Qi's words to heart, who knew that when it was time for lunch, a group of officials in "gentleman" suits came to the hotel, and they were talking about the prince's residence that Xiu Qi had said in the morning.

Although receiving two princes into the hotel will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble, but anyway, it is considered a big deal, and the reputation of "prince's preferred residence" is also very beneficial to the development of the hotel.

After careful consideration, You Xia finally decided to negotiate the deal.

So that afternoon, the two parties gathered in the conference room on the second floor of the hotel.

The other official said: "For the safety of the two princes, we don't want other guests in the hotel. If we want to reserve the hotel for a month, how do you calculate the price?"

You Xia: "Since the entire hotel is reserved, there will definitely be a discount on the room rate."

"How much is it?"

Youxia thought for a moment, and was about to speak, at this moment, he suddenly had a certain feeling, and raised his hand and said: "Sorry, please wait a moment."

Almost at the moment when his voice fell, a flame suddenly ignited in the air in front of him, and then a letter jumped out of the flame, and was held by You Xia in his hand.

Seeing this scene, the others looked a little vigilant. They didn't relax until they saw the flames dissipated and Youxia had an extra letter in his hand. They understood that this was just a magical means of sending messages.

Youxia is currently learning flame transmission from Liyoumen, and there is no doubt that this letter must have been sent by Liyoumen.

He guessed that the other party's letter told him about the light elves, but when he opened the letter, he saw only a short sentence written on the parchment with runes on it: "The new Lord of the Abyss ascends the throne."

·

In the end, You Xia couldn't remember how the hotel business was negotiated. After that, his mind was full of the contents of that letter.

The new Lord of the Abyss has ascended the throne, and the new Lord of the Abyss is undoubtedly Rice.

Les actually became the Lord of the Abyss...

You Xia felt very unreal.

Lying in bed at night, he was still thinking about it over and over again.

In his memory, Les was still the little dragon cub who would be spanked by him when he made a mistake. It's only been a few months since we separated. How could this little dragon cub become a big dragon? The awesome ruler of the abyss?

He couldn't help frowning, logically speaking it was a good thing, but there was always a sense of melancholy lingering in his heart, which made him sigh repeatedly.

"Why sigh?" A familiar cold voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Without even thinking about it, You Xia said, "Because Xiao Lai became the Demon Dragon King."

"Isn't it good for me to be the Demon Dragon King?"
