bad

The dungeon of the palace was cold and dank, the mossy brick walls were dripping with water, and the sound of water falling on the ground was crisp and clear in the silence.More than [-] soldiers of the Imperial Army guarded the dungeon, which was only a small corner.

The leader opened the fence made of thick wooden stakes. When the white fox heard the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Xu Boyuan and Ying Zhou, and then closed them again.

All the guards in the dungeon withdrew temporarily, and after the guides left, the surroundings became quiet, except for the sound of water splashing on the ice-cold bluestone bricks at an annoying speed into countless small pieces. water particles.

The white fox lay motionless on the ground.

After a battle in the palace, the fox demon was punished, and was beaten back to its original shape by the Nine Pearl Mirror. The emperor wanted to kill her, but Ying Zhou still wanted to ask her something, and they couldn't agree with each other in the palace. Finally, the emperor backed down and put the fox demon in the dungeon for now. Ying Zhou will deal with it after he has finished asking.

Ying Zhou and Xu Boyuan looked at each other, stepped forward two steps and squatted down, "Are you an eight-tailed fox?"

The fox ignored him.

Ying Zhou continued to talk: "I have a six-tailed one in the mountain, and it has been practiced for 500 years. If you want to practice eight-tailed, it will take at least 3000 years?"

The fox snorted softly, but still didn't even open his eyes.

She wants to kill and do whatever she wants, but her attitude of refusing to say a word is really difficult to deal with. Ying Zhou rubbed his nose, not knowing how to continue asking.Suddenly Xu Boyuan spoke from behind: "Did you kill Mr. Tang?"

Fox slowly opened his eyes.

Her slender eyes narrowed into a slit, and after a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice, "Why should I kill him?"

Ying Zhou said: "He has an exquisite heart. It's not easy for a monster to give birth to a child, and it's even more difficult to give birth to a half-monster child. You..."

"Heh—" Lou Liuyi let out a strange laugh between a beast and a human, cutting off Ying Zhou's words.

She sat up after laughing, with a sarcastic expression on her face, "Tiger, in the past, I couldn't get anything I wanted in this world, but with an exquisite heart, why do I need to kill people?"

"Well, maybe one of your demons did it?"

"Hmph," Lou Liuyi sneered, "The combination of a human and a demon, the son of a half-demon is against the law of heaven. Is it enough to eat a Linglong heart?"

"then you……"

"Me?" Lou Liuyi curled up her eight tails to protect her abdomen. Because of this movement, she looked a little weak, but she also had a wonderful sense of tenacity.She straightened her body stubbornly, and said indifferently: "Tiger, I have been a demon for 8000 years."

Ying Zhou was startled for a moment, the great demon with 8000 years of Taoism is not inferior to the four demon kings in the south, east, north, and west, but Xiao Bai, who is [-] years old, is even more unlikely to be her opponent, but why did Lou Liuyi do this when he fought with him? Vulnerable, easily broken by the Nine Pearl Mirror?

"You... are nine tails?"

The white fox smiled apprehensively.

Ying Zhou opened his lips, as if he didn't know what to say, and after a long silence, he asked softly, "Why?"

Lou Liuyi murmured: "Why... oh, I thought he wanted a child..."

A huge and intense sadness appeared in her eyes, which spread to Ying Zhou's heart through the air, making him feel sad for no reason.

It's not just human beings who have joy, anger, sorrow, love and hate, but also immortals and demons.The lives of immortals and demons are longer and longer than ordinary people, and everything in the world seems to pass away. In fact, there is no big difference between the two in essence, but immortals live more dullly, while demons live more enthusiastically.They can also love and hate. These two feelings are the same as their lives. They have grown to be stubborn for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years. Once they decide something, they will not change it easily.

- To love is to love deeply, to hate is to hate, straightforward.

He thought he could understand Jiuweihu's feelings, but he couldn't.

Among the tens of thousands of stories he has read, there are too many infatuated mistakes, and too many things that cannot be obtained. The emperor's relationship with the nine-tailed fox probably belongs to the former.

The son of a half-demon does not exist in heaven, and the nine-tailed fox probably conceived this hard-won child at the cost of a tail and most of his cultivation.It's a pity that the entrusted person is not human, just because she is a monster, everything is completely denied.

Ying Zhou sighed, "Why did you attack them?"

They were referring to Xu Boyuan and Xu Li.

Lou Liuyi seemed to be indifferent to everything, and calmly replied: "I want my child to be the emperor, and they are all hindrances."

Xu Boyuan raised his eyebrows: "That's all for the prince, it's none of my business."

"Why, the tiger didn't tell you?"

"tell me what?"

Ying Zhoushi was not sure what Lou Liuyi meant, referring to Xu Boyuan's dragon aura or something else, hesitatingly said: "You mean..."

Lou Liuyi said: "My son, I have something to say to the tiger alone, please avoid it."

Her attitude was really not polite, Xu Boyuan frowned and looked at Ying Zhou.

Ying Zhou hesitated, guessing that what Lou Liuyi was going to say might be related to the Longzi he was looking for, and it was really not suitable for Xu Boyuan to hear, so he had to look at Xu Boyuan's gaze, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "Well, let me say a few words to her talk?"

"Well," Xu Boyuan took a deep look at Ying Zhou, "I'll wait for you outside."

After he left, the white fox slowly sat up straight, "The tiger came down to earth to look for the son of a dragon?"

Ying Zhou nodded, "Exactly. Let me ask you, Xu Li and Xu Boyuan, do you know who is the real dragon son?"

Baihu smiled, "An idiot like Xu Li can be the emperor?"

Although she didn't answer directly, she almost gave an answer.

"But why does Xu Li have the aura of a golden dragon?"

"That's just a ray of breath that he got from living in Dragon City for a long time. How can it compare with the real Golden Dragon's breath."

That's how it turned out, Ying Zhou let out a long sigh of relief when a boulder fell to the ground.

——It’s Xu Boyuan, that’s great.

He asked again: "Then do you know why the dragon's veins suddenly became disordered 20 years ago?"

The white fox shook his head, "I entered the mortal world three years ago, so I don't know how early it was. But I heard a rumor in the palace that King Yu didn't die of a sudden illness, but because of other reasons. .”

"Why?"

"I don't know. The palace people passed it on secretly, so I didn't ask more, but after thinking about it, I know it will not be a good thing. Ordinary people are cunning and cunning, and brothers and flesh are nothing more than this."

When she said this, her eyes fell on the raised belly, and Ying Zhou couldn't help asking: "Do you love the emperor?"

The white fox sneered, "Love? Why should I love such a person? Is he worthy."

Ying Zhou rarely frowned, met her eyes, and replied seriously, "He really doesn't deserve it."

"What are you going to do in the future?"

Lou Liuyi was silent for a long time, turning her face away in the twilight from the high windows of the dungeon, there was clearly no fluctuation on the fox's face, but it made people feel her deep panic and helplessness.

She murmured softly: "Where is there any future..."

Ying Zhou walked out of the dungeon, the sky outside was just right, bright and moving, the haze and gloom of the previous few days had long disappeared.

Xu Boyuan was waiting for him not far away under the shade of a tree, Ying Zhou looked at his straight back, and his depression because of Lou Liuyi suddenly improved a bit——

The person he was looking for was Xu Boyuan and not Xu Li. This was probably the happiest thing since he entered the world.

"Let's go." Xu Boyuan sensed his approach and didn't turn his head.

Ying Zhou nodded, the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion stopped outside the second gate, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate one by one.

The evening chrysanthemums on both sides of the palace road are about to leave, retaining a little bit of light yellow and tender white colors, which are also flourishing in the sun.

Xu Boyuan was not walking fast, Ying Zhou followed him three steps behind, and after walking about a hundred steps, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, chased after him, poked his head beside him and called out: "Xu Boyuan."

"Ah."

"Aren't you asking what we said?"

His tone implied anticipation, and he didn't mean to hide anything. Instead, he seemed to be expecting himself to ask him. Xu Boyuan raised his eyebrows, and asked following his words: "What did you say?"

Ying Zhou quickened his pace and walked around in front of him, his voice was brisk and relaxed, "It's not Xu Li."

Xu Boyuan paused, and was pulled half a foot away in the blink of an eye.

Ying Zhou turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up, his clear pupils curved into a crescent shape, shining brightly in the sun, "It's you, the person I'm looking for is you."

Xu Boyuan was stunned in place.

Before, he never felt that being able to beat Xu Li was something to be happy about. Only at that moment just now, the throbbing in his heart could not be concealed at all.Although he still doesn't know why Ying Zhou came to him, just saying "it's you" gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment——

Being able to respond to weekly needs gives him a sense of accomplishment.

Ever since Ying Zhou came back this time, he has been faintly feeling that something in Ying Zhou has quietly changed. It is obviously a very subtle change, but it makes him feel different.He didn't recognize it before, but at this moment he suddenly realized that it was vivid——Ying Zhou became more vivid.

Although Ying Zhou was exquisite in the past, he was as rigid and delicate as a knife carving; but now, this rigidity has disappeared from him, and his whole person has become softer and more natural, without the need to straddle the sky and the earth. The sense of distance, it just looks like this, is no different from ordinary people, as if it has entered reality from a dream, and it is within reach.

Ying Zhou didn't notice his lack of focus, and said to himself: "Last time you said to celebrate which building, the one that makes good dim sum, why don't you ask Aluan to go with you?" He couldn't wait to tell Xu Boyuan everything .

"Okay." Xu Boyuan responded.

His eyes fell on the palace bricks between the two of them, gray and gray covered the floor, Ying Zhou's shadow stretched long and thin, and landed at his feet, linking the two of them together.

He followed the shadow and continued to walk forward.
