Work hard for the shadow guard

Demon world.

A silver-haired man was walking on the black crystal rock steps leading to the main hall. His facial features were stern and sharp, his eyes were a rare gray-blue color, and his thin and perfect figure was inadvertently outlined in a black dress.

If you look carefully, you will find that the style of clothes on his body is the same as Ying Jiu's, and he is also a shadow guard who came out of Qiwu Villa, named Ying Qi.

The nearly five-meter-high black door opened slowly, like the mouth of a giant beast, and there seemed to be endless danger waiting for anyone to come inside. After the silver-haired man walked in, the door closed automatically without making a sound.

Yingqi knelt down on one knee and bowed her head to the Demon Venerable Cangming above.

"My lord, all the shadow guards from Xiwu Villa have arrived at your Highness's side."

Cang Ming leaned on the Demon King's throne, his long crimson hair was not bundled up, flowing softly from his shoulders to the ground, he was wearing a simple red dark embossed robe, the neckline was not adjusted, revealing the black silk tunic underneath I don't care either.

Cang Ming didn't seem to want to see the kneeling person below, he squinted and said one word: "En."

But Cang Ming didn't let that person back down, Ying Qi could only continue to kneel there and wait for orders.

Needles could be heard in the hall, and I could feel the occasional scrutiny from my majesty. Even though there was no deliberate coercion, the man's forehead was still dripping with sweat.

A sore spot flashed in Cang Ming's eyes, he sat up straight, and waved his sleeves at the person kneeling below.

The person kneeling on the ground was instantly sent flying, until his back hit the closed door before falling to the ground.

Ying Qi couldn't use his skill to resist, and his bones seemed to be cracked. He swallowed the pain and quickly returned to his kneeling position.

His Majesty didn't have the intention to kill just now, it should be because of his arrival, His Majesty was reminded of the one who passed away, which made His Majesty feel unhappy.

"You tell Ling Yu that the deity has received his wish, but you are not allowed to appear in front of the deity in the future." Cang Ming waved his hand and stopped looking at the people below, "Go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Ying Qi was originally the shadow guard of His Royal Highness Ling Yu, because the color of her eyes was similar to that of Cang Yin, the shadow guard who passed away, she was transformed into the appearance of Cang Yin by His Highness and given to the Demon Venerable.

But the fake ones can't replace the real ones after all, Mozun doesn't even want to see the fake Cangyin.

Cang Yin is the shadow guard with the highest level of cultivation since the establishment of Qiwu Villa. His Highness assisted by him successfully ascended to the position of Demon Lord, and Cang Yin is the first shadow guard to be named by the master, which has the same word as the master's name Cang Ming Similarly, this is a great honor for the shadow guard.

How can I be compared with Lord Cangyin?Ying Qi left the hall clutching her blood-swelling chest, being so disgusted by the venerable, her mission was considered a failure, and she wondered how the majesty would punish herself.

In a courtyard at the foot of Yunxing Mountain, Ji Yuheng watched Ying Jiu work neatly in the kitchen. Does Ying Jiu need to be good at cooking?

In the evening, Ji Yuheng originally proposed to cook dinner, but Yingjiu recommended himself, saying that he would be responsible for the master's meals in the future.

Looking at Yingjiu's posture of chopping and chopping vegetables, he is actually good at cooking. Ji Yuheng didn't expect that Yingwei would have time to learn to cook besides hard training every day.

But Ji Yuheng was used to self-sufficiency. Even when Uncle Xu was alive, he was not a young master waiting for someone to serve him. He and Uncle Xu did all the work of purchasing and cooking.

Ji Yuheng couldn't stand at the door of the kitchen, so he went in to help. If Yingjiu was cooking, he could help add firewood and water.

The kitchen is not big, and the two of them will inevitably bump into each other when turning around or taking things in it. When they were with Uncle Xu before, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Yingjiu seemed very nervous, especially when Ji Yuheng approached him or accidentally bumped into him. He will become extremely stiff, although Yingjiu tries hard to look clueless.

Ji Yuheng only thought that Yingjiu was not used to him helping by the side, and planned to go out later. Seeing that Yingjiu had poured water into the pot, Ji Yuheng didn't know where to put the water ladle. Ji Yuheng happened to be standing next to the water tank, so he reached out to take it The ladle in Guo Yingjiu's hand.

Accidentally touched Yingjiu's hand, Ji Yuheng paused, Yingjiu's hand was very cold, almost no temperature.

Yingjiu trembled violently, let go of the ladle like an electric shock, and withdrew her hand, but before Ji Yuheng could catch it, the ladle fell with the sound and was covered with dust.

Ji Yuheng looked at the situation in front of him with some astonishment. Ying Jiu had already knelt down to plead guilty, and the water ladle fell alone between the two of them.

Is it because I just touched Yingjiu's hand?

Ji Yuheng recalled the various scenes of Yingjiu's arrival, and wanted to help him up at the door, but he also stood up quickly, without even touching the corner of his clothes, and when he handed things over, he put them on the table first, and Ji Yuheng picked them up to look at them .

Ying Jiu knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy in his heart, because of some bad experiences in his childhood, he couldn't accept being approached or touched by others, which was the reason why he still couldn't pass the ninth shadow guard examination.

Yingjiu couldn't explain to his master why he was like this, no excuses were enough to justify his disrespect, but he was afraid that his master would be angry with him because of this, the master treated him so well, his actions just now undoubtedly hurt his master's heart .

Therefore, Yingjiu could only kneel on the ground silently, waiting for Ji Yuheng to deal with her.

Ji Yuheng never blamed him. He didn't know how the Qiwu Villa trained the shadow guards. With the posture of fighting for the heir, the shadow guards might have to kill each other to survive. Ying Jiu didn't like being touched by others. Maybe it was because he was too vigilant, maybe he had restrained himself from subconsciously shooting himself.

Ji Yuheng withdrew his hand, "Get up, I'll go out and wait for you."

Forget it today, but in the future, Yingjiu must get rid of this problem. It's fine to be vigilant to others all the time, but you can't be so defensive to your own master.

Yingjiu watched Ji Yuheng turn around, the light blue clothes disappeared from his vision, he stood up silently, did he still annoy his master?It is his great honor that the master is willing to help him in the kitchen, and he is so ignorant.

Ji Yuheng sat on the stone bench outside, watching Yingjiu busy inside. He didn't wear an apron, and the water droplets and stains from cooking didn't splash on his body. Everything was in order, and his movements were clean and neat. He was no longer as stiff as when he was inside. Incomparable.

It turns out that watching one's own shadow guard cook can also be a kind of enjoyment.

Plates of steaming delicacies were served on the table, Kung Pao Chicken was full of fragrance, fried rapeseed with shiitake mushrooms was arranged in the shape of a lotus flower, and a few knots of bamboo were carved with white radish next to the fried pork slices with bamboo shoots.

Ji Yuheng smiled in his heart and said, it is enough to have a shadow guard in life.

A pair of bowls and chopsticks was neatly placed in front of him, "Why is there only one set of bowls and chopsticks?" Ji Yuheng asked.

Yingjiu suddenly thought of something. He had forgotten such an important detail. He apologized, "It's my subordinate who was negligent. Master, please wait a moment."

Yingjiu took out another pair of bowls and chopsticks, stood next to Ji Yuheng, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put sliced ​​meat on Ji Yuheng's dinner plate, "Master please dine."

Ji Yuheng really wanted to see what was in Yingjiu's head. What he meant was to take another pair of bowls and chopsticks to eat together, instead of reminding him to serve himself dishes!

Isn't the shadow guard protecting himself? Why did he take over the work of the cook and the little maid?

Ji Yuheng didn't know that whether it was cooking or serving people, they were all included in the nine assessment items of the shadow guards in Qiwu Villa. Except for the last item that was not completed, Yingjiu's other assessment items were all full marks.

"Yingjiu, I have hands and feet, I don't need you to give me vegetables, sit across from me and eat with me."

Ji Yuheng spoke in an orderly tone, and he found that there were some things that Ying Jiu would not be able to understand if he didn't say it clearly.

After discovering that Yingjiu was seated, she was just carefully picking up the vegetables in front of her. Ji Yuheng used the chopsticks she hadn't used yet to put a bowl full of food into Yingjiu's rice bowl.

"In the future, you have to learn to eat with me in a relaxed manner. If you eat happily, my appetite will improve, you know?"

As the saying goes, eating with a beautiful face, Ji Yuheng can eat half a bowl more than usual when eating with a pleasing face.

"Master, the subordinates know."

Yingjiu slowly relaxed her body, almost in line with Ji Yuheng's eating rhythm, and got rid of the habit of filling her stomach quickly at Qiwu Villa.

While serving dishes, Yingjiu secretly glanced at Ji Yuheng, he also likes to dine with the host.

It was getting late, the night was hanging high, the moon was hidden behind which cloud, and it disappeared. The stars in the sky were twinkling, the Big Dipper was shining brightly, and the other stars around were also extraordinarily bright.

After the meal, Ying Jiu quickly cleaned up the table, and accompanied Ji Yuheng in the courtyard to watch the starry sky. The night sky in the mountains seemed extraordinarily clear. The two of them were in the sea of ​​stars, as if they could not feel the passage of time.

It would be good if it continued like this, Ji Yuheng looked at Ying Jiu beside him, someone would accompany him to eat, watch the stars and the moon, two people at a table, three meals for four seasons.

It's a pity that I will leave for Immortal Sword Sect in a few days, the time for apprenticeship on the post is coming soon, and there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters who have never met, I hope they will not attack me too quickly.

"Yingjiu, it's getting late, let's go to rest." Ji Yuheng stood up.

Ying Jiu also stood up and followed Ji Yuheng, wanting to help the master to wash up and go to sleep.

Ji Yuheng looked at the person obediently following behind him. Could it be that one of the functions of a shadow guard also includes being in bed?

There were no guests in the house, and there were only three bedrooms, my own, mother's and Xu Bo's. Naturally, Ying Jiu couldn't sleep in mother's room, so I had to go to Xu Bo's west wing.

"You don't need to sleep with me. The guest room is not cleaned up, so you can sleep in Uncle Xu's room." Ji Yuheng pointed to a room to the west.

Ying Jiu was stunned for a moment, he naturally didn't dare to think about being able to sleep with his master, he just wanted to serve the master to rest, as for himself, there was a beam or a branch on which he could just take a nap .

Seeing that Yingjiu hadn't moved, Ji Yuheng said again, "Uncle Xu passed away last year, he won't mind if you sleep in his room."

Seeing the host's firm attitude, Ying Jiu did not continue to follow Ji Yuheng into the room, but walked to the west wing.

After Ji Yuheng entered the room, he watched Ying Jiu enter the door through the window, and then turned around and fell asleep in peace.

Yingjiu stood in Uncle Xu's room at a loss. Although Uncle Xu had passed away, his room was still very clean. The owner must have been cleaning it all the time. There was a painting on the wall signed with the owner's name on it. It was a gray-haired grandfather and a seven or eight-year-old child.

The relationship between the host and Uncle Xu must be very deep. Yingjiu looked at the neat and clean bed on the bed and did not want to let it get stained.

He touched his back, a little bit of blood stained his fingers red through his clothes, the night light was not good, and he was wearing black clothes, so the master didn't notice it.

Yingjiu wanted to wash his body, but he didn't find any water that could be used for bathing along the way. He was afraid to use the well in the courtyard because he was afraid of waking up his master.

Seeing that the lights in the main house had been turned off, Yingjiu walked out of the wing room and came to the woodshed.

Under the faint starlight, Ying Jiu took off his shirt, revealing his mottled back with welts. He sprinkled some golden sore medicine on his wound. The effect of golden sore medicine was actually better than nothing. The aura of the human world made Ying Jiu's wound heal exceptionally slow.

Yingjiu arranged two wooden boards on the firewood, lay on her side on the wooden boards, and fell asleep with her clothes on.
