The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 419
After Hu Weixian and Heilong were tired from walking, they finally ushered in their first normal night in the underworld, which was not necessarily normal.But at the very least, this is the first time the two of them have seen the normal alternation of the sun and the moon in such a long time since they came to the underworld.

And at the end of the grassland where they are, there is an endless water area.

As the moon rises, the water level slowly rises, and the waves hit the shore one after another, splashing one after another.The moon hangs high above the head, and gently sprinkles its own light on the earth.

On the shore, a man in black squatted on the ground, his back facing the grassland.Holding a branch in his hand, fiddled with something, looking bored and very leisurely.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the grassland.As if he had his own consciousness, the gust of wind went straight towards the back of the man in black, but suddenly stopped five meters away from the man in black.

Then, a man in dark green clothes stood behind the man in black.

At this time, the man in black seemed to have just reacted suddenly, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Everything is in progress according to your plan." Regarding the man in black's question, his answer seemed very cautious.

His attitude satisfied the man in black, so he stood up with a smile, and threw the branch into the lake.Then she clapped her hands, turned her head to look at the man in dark green clothes and said, "Zhu Yu, don't be so nervous, I won't eat you."

After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for the man's reaction: "How long do you think it will take them to come to me?"

Regarding the previous sentence of the man in black, the man named Zhu Yu didn't seem to hear it, and didn't answer.Instead, he continued: "According to their speed, it will be about three days later."

"Three days, is there any way to shorten this time?" The man in black clapped his hands after speaking, raised his head to look at Zhu Yu, and said in an almost coquettish tone: "I Knowing that you must have a way, you can think of a way to let them come over quickly, okay?"

His request made Zhu Yu silent for a while, and he said after a long while: "I will honor your wish."

For his answer, the man in black seemed a little bored.He curled his lips, and then continued: "Why are you so different from your brother? He is obviously very lively, why are you so bored?"

"Because he is my elder brother. I am different from him." Zhu Yu said with his head down.

For this answer that was not considered an answer, the man in black was really not interested in answering the question.This made him feel like he was a bully molesting women from good families.

So he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, whatever you want. But remember, do things cleanly and don't leave any traces for them. After all, Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox is not easy to deal with Something." When he said this, he seemed to be a different person, completely different from the unreasonable person before.

I don't know if it was because of what the man in black said, or because of something else, after hearing this sentence, Zhu Yu frowned slightly.

The man in black seemed to have not seen his expression at all, he just said: "When I think of the expressions on their faces, I can't wait. I hope they don't let me down!"

"I believe that Master's wish will definitely not come true." After a long silence, Zhu Yu said.

The moon is still hanging in the sky, Hu Weixian and Heilong are completely unaware at this time, all their actions in the next period of time will be within the predictions of others.They also don't know that someone has been waiting for them for a long, long time in this place where no living being has ever set foot.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the human world, which is completely different from the underworld, the West Lake is full of tourists this season.

A young man in white walked through the crowd, occasionally looking up at the sky, as if waiting for something.Suddenly a hand stretched out from behind him, quickly patted his shoulder, and then a cheerful voice said, "Qongqi! You're back!"

The boy in white turned his head, and saw a boy in dark blue clothes looking at him with a smile, the smile on his eyes and eyebrows seemed to make the whole early winter warm.Qiongqi put away the worry on his face before, smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, I'm back."

"Then you won't leave this time?!" The boy in dark blue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, stretched out his hand to pull him and said as he walked, "You promised me before that you would take me I went to other places to see, this time I must not break my promise."

"Qingjin..." Seeing his elation, the white-clothed boy spoke up anyway, and said, "I'm coming back this time to see you, and I won't be here for long. I have other things to do."

Hearing these words suddenly, the boy in blue didn't seem to react at once.He stood there blankly, turned his head to look at the boy in white with disbelief on his face.

Seeing him like this, Qiongqi actually felt uncomfortable, but he knew there were some things he had to do.Today, he had to make it clear to Qing Jin, so he said: "I know you don't want me to leave, but you know that if the matter of the Four Seas Demon Sect is not resolved, I will never be able to feel at ease."

"Then didn't you say it last time? This time you won't leave when you come back, why don't you say anything?" Qing Jin continued to question.

On the one hand, he knows better than anyone else that what Qiongqi said is right.If the matter of the Four Sea Demon Sect is not resolved, let alone Qiongqi, even he himself will not be able to feel at ease.But on the other hand, he was very unhappy about Qiongqi's repeated release of his pigeons.

Facing his accusation, Qiongqi has absolutely no room to refute.He just stood there and took a deep breath, then raised his head to look at Qing Jin and said, "I'm coming back this time, besides seeing you, I have another thing to do."

His expression was so serious that Qing Jin completely forgot that he was still angry.Because in his memory, there are only a handful of times that Qiongqi talked to himself so seriously, and every time, it was because of something very serious.

So he took a deep breath, looked at Qiongqi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you remember the guess I told you before?" Qiongqi didn't answer his question directly, and continued after seeing him nod: "I already have a new clue about that question. So this Once, no matter what, I'm leaving."

"I see." Although Qing Jin was still very upset with Qiong Qi, and also felt very insecure about the fact that he was about to leave.But he knew better than anyone else the importance of the Four Seas Demon Sect to Qiongqi, and he knew he couldn't stop it, so he didn't intend to stop it.

"One more thing, you should not go out these days, and don't even change into a human form to walk around the shore." Qiongqi knew that this request was a little too much, after all, for Qingjin who lived in West Lake for many years, It's great to be able to walk outside.He lived alone at the bottom of West Lake, it was really lonely.

However, even if he doesn't want to, this is something he has to explain.This is his responsibility as a blood pact, something he must do.

The so-called situation is stronger than people, for Qing Jin's safety, he can only make such a request.

But fortunately, Qing Jin has always been a soft-spoken person.After he knew the seriousness of the matter, he didn't make trouble unreasonably, but just nodded and agreed.Then asked: "Then this time, how long will you be away?"

"I don't know, this time things are more complicated." Qiongqi said with a sigh.

"Complicated? How complicated?" Qing Jin followed his words and asked, "What about Bai Ze? Don't Bai Ze and Ying Long help? I remember that's not what they said when they came last time. I said it plainly, this time it’s cooperation, so when something goes wrong, just let it go!? If you’re embarrassed to speak up, then I’ll help you settle the score with them!”

Seeing his righteous indignation, Qiongqi laughed, and then said: "They want to help with this matter, but they can't do much for the time being. If it really comes to that point, I will speak up, don't worry Bar."

He said, restraining his smile: "I came back this time to say hello to you, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Well, I see." Qing Jin nodded to express her understanding, and then said, "Then when are you leaving?"

"I'll leave after seeing you." After finishing speaking, Qiongqi stretched out his hand and touched his head: "You just wait here for me to come back!"

After saying this, he turned around and quickly walked into the crowd, and soon disappeared.Qing Jin has been standing in place.After his back disappeared, he blinked, took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun just sprinkled across the lake, reflecting on the tall towers standing by the lake.The golden-red light makes the whole tower look like the glazed tower in the fairy tale. This is a very famous scenery by the West Lake.

After seeing such a scene, tourists turned their heads away one after another, took out their mobile phones or cameras, and wanted to record this scene.Seeing such a scene, Qing Jin suddenly laughed.

For humans, the word wait may be too long.To him, however, it made no difference.

Just like for thousands of years, whether there is a tower or not, the setting sun will always shine on that place.Just like him, no matter whether Qiongqi comes back or not, he will always live here.

This, will not change in any way.
