When the devil

【Main Hall of Shuiyue Pavilion】

In fact, these days, Xia Zhou has been reflecting on himself. He feels that he was very cruel to Wei Ling. At least the words he said when they broke up were deliberately kicking Wei Ling's wounds.

Why do you say that?

He has been with Wei Ling for so many years. He thinks he already knows what Wei Ling is thinking. For example, although Wei Ling is addicted to alcohol, his other diets are shockingly light. Eating tofu and boiled cabbage every day does not feel greasy.Another example is that Wei Ling is actually very clingy, especially when sharing the same bed at night, although Xia Zhou forcibly pulls him into his arms every time, but when he sleeps late at night, it turns around and it is Wei Ling who clings to Xia Zhou. hold on.

Xia Zhou knew that Wei Ling was a person who was afraid of being lonely. During those days in Jinchuan, whenever Wei Ling returned to his room, the first thing he did was to look for Xia Zhou. Shallow, still having nightmares at night.With Xia Zhou around, he indulged in his lust, saying no, but actually slept more soundly than when he was alone.

So, Xia Zhou said such unfeeling words that day, and saw Wei Ling's disappointed eyes before he left. Not to mention that he felt bad, and was even afraid that Wei Ling would really not figure it out and take the sword himself, so he urged Murong Chenhao every day Go and stare at Wei Ling.

As Xia Zhou expected, Wei Ling had been negative for several days, and was in a daze in the room all day long, not knowing what he was thinking.Xia Zhou's heart softened, he thought, as long as Wei Ling asked about him once, he would find an excuse to see Wei Ling, so he waited and waited and waited, and after waiting for several days, Murong Chenhao said: "Huh? I never heard him mention you."

Xia Zhou felt that the word "you" used by Murong Chenhao was full of provocation.

He asked, "What has Ah Ling been doing these days?"

Murong Chenhao said: "Three meals a day are eaten normally, and occasionally I practice swords and calligraphy in the yard. The day before yesterday I used stones to beat down the geese flying in the sky, and invited me to eat roasted geese. I cut down a tree yesterday and made it." Fishing rod, caught a few fish in the lake, the longest one was six feet long, and invited me to eat fish in clear soup."

Xia Zhou slapped his hand on the armrest with a "slap", and the little fox who was serving him suddenly turned into a fox and ran away in fright.

"Where did the fish come from in that lake..."

Murong Chenhao said: "Slip of speech, it's the fish demon."

Xia Zhou: "..."

So Xia Zhou ordered to drive all the fish monsters in the lake to the foot of the mountain. Not only that, but also layers of defenses were set up in the sky, and all birds, beasts, insects and fish were detoured, otherwise they would all be captured and sent to the inn in the city as food.

One day, Murong Chenhao was taking a few books to see Wei Ling, but Xia Zhou suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"You are not allowed to go either."

Without waiting for Xia Zhou to finish his sentence, Murong Chenhao stuffed the scroll into Xia Zhou's hand: "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Xia Zhou: "What do you do to me, I won't go see him."

Murong Chenhao: "It's better for the pavilion master to arrange for other people to look at it occasionally. If one day falls into the lake and dies, I'm afraid it will be hard to find even the bones."

Xia Zhou pierced Murong Chenhao's heart hard at these words, his brows were slightly frowned, his expression was solemn, and all the fluctuations in his emotions were reflected in Murong Chenhao's eyes.

In the end, he was so bored that he flipped through the scroll in his hand: "What is this?"

Murong Chenhao: "Young Master Wei said that there are only volumes [-] and [-] in the house. I made a special trip to the city yesterday to look for it."

Xia Zhou rolled his eyes quickly: "Okay, let me here."

Murong Chenhao saluted respectfully, without any remembrance or hesitation, and from then on he let go of him.

That night, Xia Zhou finally couldn't bear to let go of his dignity and went to see Wei Ling.

He turned into a cat, jumped on the roof, and threw all the story books down with a crackling sound.

Hearing the movement, Wei Ling came out from inside. He was wearing a light blue coat with a wide front and a plain white robe with cross-collar inside. He looked as gentle and elegant as jade.His black hair is long to his waist, and a strand of silver ornaments hangs in it. When he looks up, the light and shadow of the world intertwine, dyeing his straight nose bridge and soft eyes. His face is so beautiful that the little girl on the eaves The cat looked excited.

——I really wanted to press him on the couch and humiliate him severely.

Thinking about the past few days, Murong Chenhao spent time alone with Wei Ling, and was even invited by him to eat grilled geese and grilled fish. Xia Zhou became jealous and wanted to wring Murong Chenhao out to clean up.

"It's changed today, I'll keep an eye on you from now on."

The small-bellied cat jumped down from the eaves angrily, approached Wei Ling looking for the scent, and walked back and forth under his feet.

Wei Ling was a little surprised: "Xia Zhou?"

"Thinking too much, I'm just an ordinary cat demon." Xia Zhou paused, and said again: "Is that why you want the pavilion master to come to see you?"

Presumably Wei Ling couldn't detect Xia Zhou's aura, as long as he didn't admit it, Wei Ling would have nothing to do with him.

"You are the cat of a wealthy family." Wei Ling picked up the book on the floor and walked into the house: "Why can't you figure it out and stare at me?"

The cat demon has always hated the poor and loved the rich, and would always choose a comfortable place to stay.The cat in front of him has soft and bright fur. No matter how you look at it, it is Xia Zhou.Wei Ling doesn't force him to confess, he just wants to go around in circles, so just accompany him.

"You're blind, I'm a cat from a poor family." Xia Zhou followed Wei Ling, his voice softened, and he became pitiful: "My master is a bastard, and he wants to dig out his heart and lungs for outsiders all day long, but the outsiders are all blank-eyed Wolf, just slap his ass and leave after eating him up, and he is in a bad mood, so he catches me and beats me."

Wei Ling glanced at him: "What happened to your master?"

"Fell into the lake and drowned."

"... "

Wei Ling didn't want to pay attention to him, and walked quickly into the house. Just like he answered Xia Zhou last time, he had nothing to say about the past, and he was even more disheartened by himself who believed in monsters.

But Xia Zhou has an unusually thick skin, is very bad at disguising, and even slaps his face to make himself fat. Wei Ling can't figure out what he wants to figure out. After much deliberation, the biggest possibility is: spring is here, and he wants to take him again Vent | want to stop.

"The pavilion master said, if you are lonely, I can satisfy you." The little cat said brazenly.

"Thank you, no need."

Wei Ling really saw Xia Zhou's cat head clearly.

"Don't worry, I can turn into a bigger cat, and things will be bigger than when I turned into a human." The kitty was persistent.

"... "

Wei Ling walked into the back room, and "slapped" the door behind her, shutting the cat that was not serious enough to go outside.

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense!"

The kitten was scratching the door outside, making a very aggrieved voice, and managed to squeeze in through a crack. It pitifully ran to Wei Ling's side, and continued to circle around next to his feet.

Sometimes Wei Ling really admires monsters, and his temper comes and goes quickly. It was Xia Zhou who was so angry that day, and now it is Xia Zhou who lowers his posture and stalks him. He has experienced this kind of thing many times. I really don't know what to say about him.

There was a stove in the room, and there was a kettle on the stove, and the water in the kettle was gurgling.Wei Ling took the jug and poured herself a glass of water, then perched on the kang with mats and sat down.

Xia Zhou followed him and jumped up, consciously retracting into his arms.

Wei Ling picked him up again and put him back on the cold ground.

"A Ling, you are too stingy. You don't appreciate me for your own good. I made a mistake and I gave in. Why are you so angry?" Xia Zhou jumped up again, slouching into Wei Ling's arms.

Wei Ling said, "Stop pretending?"

"If you keep on pretending, you really won't let me sleep, the gain outweighs the loss."

"... "

The cat couldn't spit out any gold teeth, so Wei Ling picked him up again, this time instead of putting it on the ground, he put it on the other side of the table.

"Xia Zhou, I've been thinking about one thing."

"What's the matter?" Xia Zhou stood up straight, his ears quivered slightly, and stood up.

Wei Ling lowered her eyes and asked him softly: "You said before that if you swallowed the curse, you would become a complete demon, a bloodthirsty beast."

"Hmm." Xia Zhou thought he was going to ask something, but he didn't expect it to be such a topic. His slightly nervous ears softened, and his tone became casual: "Do you think I'm not as vicious as the rumors? That's I treat you well, but if it were someone else, I would be fierce."

Wei Ling was thoughtful, but didn't respond.

"I have been a monster for thousands of years, and I have always been ferocious and brutal, so I thought that after I regained my demon power, I would become what I was before..." Xia Zhou paused, and looked at Wei Ling eagerly: "The so-called hero is saddened by a beautiful woman, this sentence It is also applicable to monsters, most monsters have clear love and hate, the stronger the monster nature, the less boring troubles will be saved."

Wei Ling: "Are you also troubled?"

Xia Zhou: "Yes, I used to always worry about how my majestic demon king would be led by the nose by a little fairy like you."

Wei Ling: "What about now?"

Xia Zhou: "It's only now that I understand that I really have a crush on you."

Wei Ling smiled with emotion: "...It's really miserable to be seen by you."

"..." Xia Zhou lay down, his tail dangling back and forth, and after a while, a faint black smoke began to rise from his body, as if he was about to transform back into a human form.

"The cat is cute." Wei Ling said to him, "If you turn back into a human, I will ignore you."

Xia Zhou raised his face and said fiercely, "How dare you!"

That's what he said, but the black smoke retreated obediently, leaving only two cat eyes wide open, venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Wei Ling said: "Xia Zhou, that day you said that I was a sacrifice to you, but the person who really recruited you was Zhaoyang's Queen Yue Erzhen?"

Xia Zhou sat on the spot and kept rubbing his tail on the ground: "You hug me, or I won't say anything."

Wei Ling took a sip of hot water from the cup, feeling warm and comfortable.Xia Zhou waited expectantly for his reply on the opposite side. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he simply stretched the cat's body, and hooked the water glass in front of him with his furry palms to prevent Wei Ling from drinking.

"A Ling, hold me."

He kicked his hind legs and sat down on the table.

"A Ling, hug me."

Little Tail was not reconciled, and moved the water glass further away.

"Come on." Wei Ling hooked his finger towards Xia Zhou, and before he retracted his hand, Xia Zhou couldn't wait to pounce on him.

The most comfortable place in the world is to curl up in Wei Ling's arms, Xia Zhou is coiled up into a fluffy black pancake.

"Can you say it?" Wei Ling patted the cat's head.

"Okay, but you are not allowed to throw me on the ground after you finish speaking." Xia Zhou frowned, leaving only a pair of ears to move slightly.

"it is good."

"Let me do it once after I finish talking."

"No."

"A-Ling is so nice. It smells so warm and it's comfortable to make. The little mouth below is wet and soft. I really want to be hugged and do it every day by you. I won't quarrel with you in the future." Xia Xia Zhou took the cat's tongue and licked it through the clothes, talking nonsense while licking.

Wei Ling pinched the back of his neck and lifted him up: "...Do you want to say it or not?"

Xia Zhou struggled a bit, then fell back into Wei Ling's arms: "You've said everything you need to say, what else do you need me to say?"

Wei Ling said: "In Jinchuan, Gu Xuancheng brought a head, and that is also your contractor? Or are you lying to me by thinking of him as a contractor?"

"I didn't lie to you, that was indeed my contractor, but didn't you suspect that there was fraud when you saw it? Just like you thought, that contractor was just the one who executed the summoning formation." Xia Zhou leaned next to Wei Ling Wrist, turned over, belly up: "He was instructed by Yue Erzhen to use the summoning array, so it was engraved on him. Yue Erzhen just borrowed his body to make a contract with me."

"So even if you kill him, your contract will not be affected?"

"Shou, of course -! But, I didn't accept the sacrifice she sent from the beginning to the end." Xia Zhou patted Wei Ling's arm with his tail: "Aren't you alive and well?"

Wei Ling grabbed the tail and put it back beside Xia Zhou: "Then what is your relationship with her now?"

"Contractual relationship."

Wei Ling was about to be stunned by Xia Zhou: "Didn't you say you didn't accept it?"

Xia Zhou smiled maliciously, obviously trying to tease Wei Ling on purpose, and now staring at Wei Ling with a confused face, he showed bad intentions again: "Yue Erzhen is very cautious, And she was very patient, when she summoned me back then, she considered the possibility that the summoning would fail, so she chose a substitute for the dead ghost."

Wei Ling said: "As you said, since the sacrifice is me, why do you have to gather millions of dead souls?"

"There are three reasons. First, as I said, Yue Erzhen is very cautious. Using the demon-recruiting array itself requires a lot of resentment to lure the demons to take the bait. Just like you pass by a snack bar, you will be curious when you smell the smell. Go in. Millions of grievances are very tempting, and almost all monsters can't refuse." Xia Zhou tried his best to describe his feelings at the time, and he didn't know if the example he gave could resonate with Wei Ling, who only likes cabbage tofu soup. Fortunately, After hearing this, Wei Ling didn't raise any objection, so he continued: "Second, the eastern border is a battlefield. Even if it is not used to summon monsters, the dead cannot be resurrected. Lonely ghosts are everywhere, and they can gather together. It's good to let her children go away, Dongjing is Yue Erzhen's hometown, and she doesn't want it to become a hell on earth."

"What about the third?"

"Third, it's too risky for her to fight you head-on, so she can only design a frame to lure you into the summoning circle." Xia Zhou said: "Summoning 梼杌 with millions of dead souls who died in battle. In the eyes of normal people, it can indeed be established, not to mention that I really came to the summoning array looking for the curse, and you also logically think that those dead souls are the curse for me, and you will 'repress the soul' of them indiscriminately."

"... "

At that time, the situation was urgent, and Wei Ling didn't have the heart to think so much.Besides, he didn't know Yue Erzhen well, so how could he expect to be tricked by her to such an extent.

"A Ling, do you think you look like a big fat fish? Yue Erzhen boiled the soup, put in the ingredients, sprinkled green onions to make it fragrant, and waited for you to jump in by yourself. You couldn't wait to marinate yourself. He danced without hesitation." Xia Zhou's voice sounded sympathetic.

Wei Ling smiled wryly: "So Gu Xuancheng came to Liuli Mountain to worship me as a teacher, and he also planned for a rainy day?"

"Yes." Xia Zhou was very sure.

Wei Ling said, "Why me? What kind of enmity do I have with Yue Erzhen?"

"Good question." Xia Zhou turned his body around and pressed against Wei Ling's leg: "This is what I can't understand. Maybe the emperor favors you, and she is jealous."

"... "

Wei Ling sighed, he got up, and wanted to get a pot to pour water to drink, but when he moved, Xia Zhou slid down, and a lump of black and bright cat ball rolled onto the kang before he could react.

"Where are you going?" Xia Zhou Lima stretched his body and jumped up, afraid that Wei Ling would leave just like that.

Wei Ling: "Pour water."

Xia Zhou: "Why did you throw me down when you poured water?"

"You rolled off by yourself."

Wei Ling came back with the kettle, and saw that the cup was a little far away from where she was sitting, so she simply went around and sat on the other side.

Xia Zhou reacted quickly, before Wei Ling sat down, he ran over again, sticking to him sticky, and lay down again.

"You just said that you didn't accept the sacrifice, does that mean you haven't eaten me?" Wei Ling continued to ask while pouring water.

Xia Zhou said: "Yes, I was sealed by you when I first came to the world. I harbor resentment and hatred. Who would have thought that I would be entangled with you until now..."

The light in the room was dim, a fire was lit in the stove, and the ground was dyed with a layer of warm light.

"In Jinchuan City, did you take Cang Lin's scales?"

Since just now, Wei Ling's voice has not fluctuated, and it sounds like asking a teacher for a crime.

"It was me." Xia Zhou obediently admitted, "But when I went, the scales had already been taken away by another monster, and that monster handed the scales into my hands."

"silver fox?"

"Ah."

On that day, too many people gathered in the Guo Mansion, and it was only Xia Zhou who could sneak in under such circumstances without anyone noticing.

Wei Ling asked, "The scales...where are they now?"

Xia Zhou paused for a while, but didn't answer immediately. His fluffy tail rubbed against Wei Ling's body, and it took him a long time before he slowly said, "I made a panacea and gave it to the queen."

"... "

Wei Ling knew that Xia Zhou had brought the elixir to the world, but she didn't expect to give the elixir to the queen.Based on the thinking just now, the empress is the culprit of the whole incident. Isn't Xia Zhou saying that...

No, just now Xia Zhou himself said that he has a contractual relationship with the Queen.

So, for Xia Zhou, being so close to Wei Ling...is he really just killing his own "sacrifice"?

Wei Ling felt cold, and suddenly pushed Xia Zhou off his body. Xia Zhou didn't expect Wei Ling to resist so much. The whole cat fell to the ground, and its tail accidentally touched the kettle with boiling water, scalding it. With a "meow", he arched his back and bristled, his expression tense.

"What favor did the queen give you?" Before Xia Zhou could speak, Wei Ling asked coldly.

Xia Zhou's tail hurts, and he turned his head to chase and lick it, but he couldn't catch up after a long time, and his mood suddenly became irritable: "Just rely on her? I don't like it even if you give me benefits. Back then, she was staring at Liuli Mountain and Canglin. It was because I did not reach a contract with her, what happened later? She found out that you are not dead, and I am still alive, and Jin Chuan made such a fuss because she wanted to make up for it.”

Wei Ling said: "So you made the Canglin scales into a panacea for her, in order to make up for the contract that was not reached in time?"

Xia Zhou said: "Since she regards Canglin as a substitute, isn't it just right to give it to her? Ah Ling, I swallowed your curse and took you as my own, which means I accepted the sacrifice offered by Yue Erzhen and recognized Yue Erzhen's contract, do you think I want to? It's not for you."

Wei Ling was about to be laughed at by Xia Zhou's logic. He didn't know whether to call Xia Zhou smart or stupid, or to say that Xia Zhou, who was a demon, never understood people's thoughts well from beginning to end.

He said: "The contract is established, no matter how strong the monster is, it will be restrained. I thought you would not be inferior to others."

Xia Zhou stared at Wei Ling, and said: "A mortal's wish is easy for me, satisfy her, kill her, and get you by the way, why not do it?"

Wei Ling drank water from the cup again, and regained her previous indifference: "In this case, Wu Wu, you'd better figure out one thing."

Hearing the name "梼杌", Xia Zhou fell silent, his tail didn't move, and he just sat on the ground, looking up at Wei Ling.

"She is your contractor, and I am your sacrificial offering. You should consider her instead of wasting time on me." Wei Ling pulled off the hem of her clothes, and pointed through the trousers to the position where the inner thigh was once engraved.

"I'm no longer the Heavenly Feather Immortal Venerable that you all fought over."

Xia Zhou listened to him, but didn't respond for a while, but Wei Ling was smiling, a very flat and gentle kind of smile.

He looked at Xia Zhou, and said in a soft voice, "Yuwu, what's the use of you keeping a useless person?"
