When the devil

Xia Zhou is a little different from before, and Wei Ling has already noticed it from the moment he appeared.

For example, there is a lot of artificial ambiguity in his words, for example, there is a little more breathless depression in his demeanor, or for example, his pupils are always full of bloodthirsty fierceness. For a moment, the original was exposed.

Wei Ling avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, that aggressiveness made him feel uncomfortable.

Or he is weaker than before after losing his immortality.

Or Xia Zhou who swallowed the curse is stronger than before.

Standing in front of him, he felt more like a fish at the mercy of others, which was not a good feeling.

"I heard that you killed the giant python and made a lot of noise in the woods."

Xia Zhou picked out a fine cloth from his almighty black smoke, and carefully put it on Wei Ling's neck, but his bandaging technique was a little bad, blood seeped into the cloth, and he touched it with his hand, which hurt Wei Ling again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed away.

"I killed your subordinates, just to take revenge on me like this?" The vigilance in Wei Ling's eyes didn't drop at all.

"He's not as strong as you, he deserves to die." Xia Zhou's eyes showed disdain, but in an instant he regained his false tenderness, and he said, "A Ling, I think you're tired too, why don't you go to my place to rest?"

Wei Ling wrapped up the muslin by himself. His neck hurt so badly that he could only lift his chin slightly, and reluctantly said, "I'm here to find you... I want to talk to you about something."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the two collided at the same time. The amazing thing is that they didn't speak anymore. Wei Ling was observing Xia Zhou's reaction, but Xia Zhou was waiting for Wei Ling to speak.

"Mortal, I have found you!"

Suddenly a loud roar fell from the sky, and the burning lion jumped down, grinning at Wei Ling. He was one of the monsters called by the silver fox to chase Wei Ling, but the timing was not right. After landing, he realized that there was another monster in front of Wei Ling. The demon that can't be provoked--

"Ah, pavilion master, to disturb, to disturb..."

The fire lion turned around in a hurry, and more than half of the gorgeous flames were extinguished. The big monster who was aggressive just now, with its tail between its legs, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Change the place, I'll listen to you." Xia Zhou stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, spreading out a circle of black flames in the air, forming a teleportation array leading to other places.

Wei Ling stood still, he hesitated to look at the teleportation array, the inside was so dark that he couldn't see the scenery on the other side clearly.

"A Ling, come here." Xia Zhou took two steps back and retreated into the teleportation formation. He didn't wait for Wei Ling to move, his figure disintegrated into smoke, and just melted into the formation.

If he doesn't leave, Wei Ling still has room for entanglement, but Xia Zhou is gone in front of him, leaving behind the empty jungle and the magic circle turning around like a whirlpool in front of him, Wei Ling's heart sank inexplicably, and he went to the magic circle without thinking. chase after.

Until he stepped into the magic circle, the scenery in front of him changed drastically, the dark jungle faded away, and turned into a gorgeous thin red. In front of him was a large lakeside, surrounded by flowers sinking in the water and glowing with the waves. Xiazhou was in front of him. He smiled as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"A Ling, do you still remember that I told you about the Youhua Nectar in Moon Lake." He turned slightly sideways: "It's a light red lake, the lake is frozen, and after a while, the wine will be ready to drink gone."

Wei Ling looked at the lake water that seemed to be rushing into the sky, and walked to Xia Zhou. This is a high place on the mountain, and the lake is quiet. The flowers at the bottom of the lake and the crimson moon are dyed the same color, but the color is neither fishy nor bright, Instead, it was clear and clean, and the smear of red was broken into pieces, carefully wrapped in it.

"You just stole my wine."

This situation finally reminded Wei Ling of the wine that he didn't drink.

"Haha." With a wave of his hand, Xia Zhou transformed the wine and handed it to Wei Ling: "Although this lake is beautiful, it's a pity that ordinary people can't touch it. The flowers are poisonous, which is why there are no fish in this lake."

Wei Ling opened the wine, raised her head and took a sip.

It was no different from the scent when she kissed Xia Zhou before.

Thinking of this, Wei Ling hesitated for a moment. Holding the jug, he lowered his gaze, looked at the ripples flooding the lake shore and asked, "What will happen if you touch it?"

Xia Zhou tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Flowers feed on the souls of the dead. Once they fall into it, they will be trapped in this lake and will never be reborn."

Wei Ling looked at him suspiciously, shaking the flagon in his hand, and asked leisurely before drinking, "Why do you plant so many flowers that eat people's souls?"

Xia Zhou said hehe: "It's not me who planted it, it's because there are too many dead people thrown in this lake, these flowers will grow out naturally."

Wei Ling paused for a while, as if he was listening carefully. Xia Zhou also became interested, and continued: "The lower reaches of this lake is an abyss, which is connected to the gap in the enchantment of the gate of the monster race. Thousands of years ago, any Dead monsters will be sprinkled into this lake. Since I took it, this ugly plan has been changed. Later, people often bring sacrifices over, and they don’t go back when they can’t finish them. There is no place to put them. Throw it all into the lake."

Wei Ling: "..."

Xia Zhou squinted his eyes to appreciate Wei Ling's complicated expression, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, what a joke, how can you throw mortal bones into the lake, it's so smelly and rotten."

Wei Ling didn't find it funny.

Xia Zhou's explanation was clearly getting darker and darker. Wei Ling lost his alcoholism when he heard it, and only raised a pair of helpless eyes to look at Xia Zhou's face faintly.

"Okay, Ah Ling, come with me, and I'll take you to where you live."

Xia Zhou's hand gently grabbed Wei Ling's arm along Wei Ling's sway, and pulled him towards him. Wei Ling immediately withdrew his hand, and although he followed his steps, he deliberately kept a distance from Xia Zhou.

"Look at you, you are still so mean to me." Xia Zhou shook his head, but he didn't care much in his tone.

The jug in Wei Ling's hand didn't have much wine, and he drank it up in two or three gulps. He threw the empty jug to Xia Zhou, but a layer of black smoke rose up, turning the jug into ashes and falling to the ground. Walking past the scattered dust, his eyes gradually calmed down: "I just want to confirm something with you, I won't stay for too long, and you don't need to prepare a place to live."

"Let me guess." Xia Zhou turned his back to him, and the hem of his black robe looked like black flames and billowing smoke: "Do you want to ask me about my relationship with the Eastern Realm, or how I plan to take revenge on Zhaoyang?"

Wei Ling said: "There are all of them."

"That day in Jinchuan, the head your apprentice Gu Xuancheng carried was indeed my contractor, but he was just a puppet, the knife that killed people with a knife. From the day I came into the world, his life and death It doesn't matter anymore, there is no contract between me and the East Territory at all, there is no constraint, there is no transaction, it's nothing more than your wish, just come as you like."

Xia Zhou speaks very plainly, this is his long-standing habit, the more important things are, the more lightly he puts them in his mouth, causing the listeners to fall into a wrong judgment.

Wei Ling's eyes dimmed, and he said: "Since this is the case, you should stop participating in mortal affairs. You and Zhaoyang have no grievances or enmities, so why did you let Yinhu plant evil spirits in Yudu? Mention 'revenge'."

Xia Zhou laughed twice and said, "I am willing."

Wei Ling said coldly: "Xia Zhou."

Xia Zhou stopped in response, and finally turned around to look at him: "A Ling, we meet again after a long absence. I kissed and licked you, but you kept making sarcastic remarks. No matter how good-tempered I am, I will be offended by you."

Wei Ling touched her neck, not agreeing with the description of "kissing and licking".

"But..." Xia Zhou said in a low voice, and walked closer to Wei Ling: "If you stay here with me, I can't think about what you say."

Wei Ling was startled, and raised her face to look at him.

The wind blowing over the lake brought a slight coolness, mottled the thin bright red into an indelible light and shadow in the dark night, Xia Zhou's figure was shrouded in such darkness, but his eyes were bright, like stars, and like condensed eyes. Wei Ling looked at him in a daze, it was strange yet familiar, it was the highly poisonous flower he climbed on when he was afraid of being alone.

"look."

Xia Zhou stepped aside to let Wei Ling look forward.

Not far away is a house with jade-white walls, dark blue glazed tiles, and a towering tree. Under the tree is a spacious palace, which extends all the way to the top of the lake and is built on swaying flowers.

"This place is beautiful. I like it very much. If you get tired of looking at the scenery in the future, you can go to another place." Xia Zhou walked in front, seeming very satisfied with his own taste.

But Wei Ling stopped in front of the house. He turned his head slowly and looked in the direction he came from. He didn't pay attention at first, but now it seems that this place is an island in the middle of a lake, surrounded by lake water and thin red flowers , blending with the sky, there is no end, and there is no way out.

The endless night became a cage, only this mansion stood in front of him, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and stared blankly in the direction of Xiazhou again.

Xia Zhou ignored the worry in his eyes, and continued: "You live here, I will come to see you when I miss you, and I will let monsters take care of you when I am not around. There are no fewer things in the demon realm than in the human world. You'll get used to it after a while."

Wei Ling was at a loss: "What?"

"I didn't explain clearly enough? Then I'll say it again." Xia Zhou smiled: "You stay with me, I will do what you wish, and I will not get involved in human affairs."

Wei Ling's expression remained unchanged, but all the warmth disappeared from his eyes. He didn't object, because Xia Zhou said what he thought in his heart, but he was also hesitant. It was the meaning conveyed by the words that made him feel uncomfortable. A familiar fear arose.

"It's not a bad deal." Xia Zhou hooked his fingers at him and asked him to come over by himself.But after waiting for a while, Wei Ling still didn't move, Xia Zhou was still a little patient, and explained gently: "At the beginning you would rather be tortured by the curse for the sake of sealing me, and later you were willing to be swallowed for me, now I promise you not Hurt anyone, not only can you live, but you can also be served with good food and drink."

Wei Ling looked at him and said coldly, "You want to lock me up here?"

"How come, the demon domain is so big, I can accompany you wherever you want to go."

Xia Zhou hooked his hands at him again, with a half-smile.

"..."

The chill in Wei Ling's heart became more and more violent, making him feel uncomfortable all over. But at this time, he couldn't think, only a wave of boredom lingered in his heart, forcing him to avoid Xia Zhou's gaze, and fell into a hesitant state of bewilderment. .

"I have an appointment with Bai Lie, and today I want to answer him first."

He knew that his mind was messed up, so he used Bai Lie as an excuse.

Xia Zhou sneered, and said unhurriedly: "Shen Feihuan will deal with Bai Lie, maybe he will treat you as dead after a while."

Hearing this sentence, Wei Ling only felt a tingling scalp and a sharp pain from the wound on his neck. It was not an illusion, but a proof that Xia Zhou wanted to tear him apart.

He couldn't help but start to speculate, could it be that Xia Zhou had expected everything from the beginning to the end?Just to lure him here... and imprison him here again?

Wei Ling gently closed her eyes.

If that was the case, nothing he said would do any good.

With the skill of a mortal, he has long lost the right to choose.
