The master said not to judge people by their appearance

"Does it still hurt?" Xie Yunlan carefully applied the medicine to Shen Fan. It was already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and it had been seven days since Shen Fan was injured. At first glance, the wounds on his body had begun to scab one after another. The horns no longer ooze blood, but this is just a human form, and the wounds on these human figures are scales that have been chopped off by thunder in the original form.

Xie Yunlan didn't know how long it would take for these scales to fully grow, and he didn't know if Shen Fan would still feel pain.

"Hmm..." Shen Fan responded sullenly.

Xie Yunlan made his movements more gentle, and finally finished applying the medicine. When Shen Fan was dressing, someone knocked on the door outside the house.

"Master Hou, the meal is ready, and the things you want me to buy are also ready." Wang Tai shouted at the door.

Xie Yunlan put away the medicine bottle and went to open the door. When he opened the door, he only opened one side and used his body to hold it there. Wang Tai couldn't see anything inside the house. It was like this for seven consecutive days. Wang Tai came to deliver food every day , but has not seen Shen Fan so far.

He couldn't help poking his head to look in and said, "Master Hou, is the master better?"

"It's better." Xie Yunlan took the things and closed the door, with a "bang", shutting Wang Tai out.

Wang Tai: "..."

It wasn't that he was thinking too much, but Xie Yunlan hid Shen Fan so tightly, it was like a golden house hiding a beauty, and he wouldn't let him see him.

And there are also some suspicious things, such as the wound that suddenly appeared on Xie Yunlan's lip four days ago, as if he was bitten by someone.

Master Hou has a good girl?Impossible, these days Xie Yunlan is staying with Shen Fan except for running errands in the house, so where is the time to find a girl.

Could it be that the master bit it?It shouldn't be, why did Master bite Lord Hou?

Wang Tai was full of doubts, and left muttering.

Inside the house, Xie Yunlan put the food box aside first, and he unfolded the package handed over with the food box. Inside was a white cloak, which was different from ordinary cloaks. In addition to being more exquisite in materials, he also made a special one. A hat with a long brim.

"Try it on." Xie Yunlan put the cloak in front of Shen Fan for comparison.

Shen Fan put it on as he said, and Xie Yunlan helped him fasten the cloak, and then put on the hat, which perfectly covered the broken horns on Shen Fan's forehead.

With the recovery of the injury, Shen Fan can actually hide the broken horn, but this is not stable, just like right now, it is in the exposed state, so Shen Fan doesn't even go out these days, and Xie Yunlan doesn't let Wang Tai go in. Look, with this cloak, he can finally go out and walk.

"I'll take you outside after dinner?" Xie Yunlan proposed while laying out the food in the food box.

Shen Fan was noncommittal, he just took a piece of snack silently and ate it.

In addition to the normal meals, Xie Yunlan specially ordered snacks to be delivered every day. Shen Fan ate very little food, but ate a lot of snacks.

After Xie Yunlan took a few bites casually, he propped his chin and watched Shen Fan eat. He looked at Shen Fan's lips that opened and closed up and down. He didn't know if it was because of the different races. These lips were the same as his master's, with a temperature It is low, but it is soft at the same time. When you kiss it, it is like kissing a piece of soft snow.

Xie Yunlan was a little dreamy, he was thinking about the taste of that kiss four days ago.

Shen Fan's understanding of kissing is limited to lightly touching him with his lips. Xie Yunlan knew more than him, and he taught Shen Fan how to go deep. On that snowy night, they kissed forgetfully, ignoring all external disturbances, Only following the most instinctive desires, in the end, both of them fell on the bed.

Then there was no more, Xie Yunlan actually didn't know how to go further with the man, and besides, Shen Fan was still injured, so it was impossible for him to do anything to him.

They hugged each other on the bed and fell asleep. Since waking up, they have never had any intimate contact except for the medicine.

Xie Yunlan was still a little uncertain about Shen Fan's attitude that night, whether that kiss was an attempt or a recognition of the relationship between the two parties.

Are they lovers now?

If so, then why does Shen Fan seem not to get close to him at all?

Xie Yunlan herself had always been thinking about that kiss, and wanted to make out with Shen Fan again, but Shen Fan didn't seem to have that kind of intention at all. Xie Yunlan secretly tried to hold his hand while sleeping at night. Shen Fan didn't refuse, but he didn't respond either. .

He was dumbfounded and rarely even said a word.

This made Xie Yunlan very uneasy. After three days of observation, he still couldn't distinguish Shen Fan's attitude towards him. Today, he finally couldn't help it. After Shen Fan finished eating his snacks, he was about to speak: "Shen Fan Van, we..."

"Master Hou!" Wang Tai who had already left suddenly ran back and knocked on the door anxiously.

What Xie Yunlan wanted to ask was interrupted, so he had no choice but to give up temporarily, and went to open the door for Wang Tai with a grim expression, and Wang Tai said: "Master Hou, it's not good, the sky has changed in Beijing!"

"What's going on?" Xie Yunlan frowned.

"It's the king of Yunzhou!" Wang Tai said the news he had just received.

Four days ago, the king of Yunzhou, Yuan Yi, suddenly returned to Beijing with [-] soldiers and horses. Apart from some of his own personal guards, he also included Mu Qingyun and his group, who had been missing for a long time.

Yuan Yi took the ten thousand soldiers and horses directly into the imperial city, and even captured Yuan Lang and a group of ministers alive!

"Wait, King of Yunzhou?" Wang Tai's few words contained too much information, Xie Yunlan organized his thoughts and said, "Are you sure you are King of Yunzhou? Isn't Yuan Yi dead?"

"I don't know either! But the letter from Jingzhong is like this!" Wang Tai handed the letter from Jingzhong to Xie Yunlan.

Xie Yunlan took it over and saw that it was exactly as Wang Tai said.

This letter was sent by Xie Yunlan's subordinate who stayed in Beijing. This person has a stable personality. If the news is not true, he will never spread it indiscriminately.

But this is even more strange, Yuan Yi was already dead, and he died in front of Xie Yunlan's eyes, and even if it was really Yuan Yi, with only [-] troops, how did he attack the imperial city and capture Yuan Lang alive?

In Beijing alone, there are [-] defenders in the imperial city, and as many as [-] troops stationed outside the city, adding up to six times the strength of Yuan Yi. The imperial city itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone Xie Yunlan's attack. If they don't come down, even if the heavenly soldiers come down to earth, they may not be able to break through the imperial city so quickly.

Xie Yunlan suddenly thought of something, he asked Wang Tai to go down first, then closed the door, turned around and asked Shen Fan: "Could it be a demon?"

It is impossible for a dead person to come back to life for no reason, and it is impossible for such a small army of troops to break into the imperial city so easily. This is no longer like what ordinary people do. Xie Yunlan immediately thought of the demon who had not completely died under the thunder.

"It's possible." Shen Fan thought about it.

Tianlei has the power of destruction, but also the power of purification. The demonic energy in Shen Fan's body was scattered under the thunder, and the influence of the demons on him also weakened a lot, as if he lost all his power along with him.

But how cunning the heart demon is, it can come up with the idea of ​​splitting into four clones to speed up the control of Shen Fan, and how can it be willing that the power it has finally accumulated is wiped out under the thunder.

What disappeared on the ninth day of the first lunar month, besides Yuan Yi's body, was actually one other thing, which was Shen Fan's severed dragon horn.

Xie Yunlan has been looking for these days. Although the broken horn has no effect on Shen Fan, and he himself has no idea of ​​looking for it, just like the broken horn in Cangzhou, Xie Yunlan still tried to help him get the broken horn. Found it, but there has been no trace.

He clearly remembered that when Shen Fan fell from the sky that day, the broken horn landed not far from the city, but when he went looking for it at night, it disappeared.

Now that I think about it, the heart demon probably transferred most of the magic power to that broken horn when Shen Fan broke it. The broken dragon horn was not purified by the thunder, it was quietly dormant, and waited for the thunder to dissipate completely. , it reattached to Yuan Yi's body.

Shen Fan's dragon body is the body that the heart demon wants most, which means the power of the dragon god, and the heart demon can use this to leap from the weakest monster to the strongest monster in the world.

But Shen Fan is no longer the Dragon God, his divine book has been degraded, his dragon body has been abolished, even if he is a monstrous flood dragon, he is too weak because of the injury caused by the thunderbolt, even worse than a mortal.

As for Yuan Yi, he has strong desires and great power. He is already the host chosen by the avatar of the heart demon, and he is of the royal blood. If he can succeed in becoming emperor, he will be the emperor of the world. Yun transforms into a dragon body again, just like Yuan Shuo did at the beginning.

Although he died physically, he died under Shen Fan's soul fire. In fact, he didn't have any external injuries, and even his soul was complete, only missing a soul fire.

Shen Fan's soul fire has been completely extinguished now, it has become a black, dark and ominous fire made of demonic energy, and it is also controlled by the inner demon.

As long as the heart demon puts the black soul fire back into Yuan Yi's soul, he can be resurrected from the dead. This is the body of a monster created by nature. Everything in the world has a soul fire bestowed by heaven. Not to be invaded by monsters, but Yuan Yi's soul fire comes from the inner demon. He and the inner demon will achieve an unprecedented fusion and truly become one.

After Shen Fan explained all this, Xie Yunlan immediately said: "We have to go back to the capital."

Yuan Yi has captured the imperial city, if Xie Yunlan's prediction is correct, his next step should be to copy what Yuan Shuo did, sacrifice the lives of countless people, and fulfill his dream of becoming an emperor and transforming into a dragon.

As he spoke, he was going to pack his things, and told Wang Tai and others to prepare to return to Beijing, but Shen Fan suddenly stopped him: "It's useless to go back."

The most scorching soul fire in the world, which can restrain all evil spirits and monsters, is gone. Shen Fan has only one soul fire left, which represents his own life and death, and is as weak as a mortal. He has lost all his strength. He is now a The most ordinary mortal.

But the heart demon has the power he had when he was the dragon god. Shen Fan once had that power, so he naturally knows how powerful that power is. Even if it is a part of the heart demon, mortals can't defeat it. What about the heart demon who has gathered all the avatars and obtained the power of Shen Fan's dragon god?

It's useless for them to go back, but they will die for nothing.

Xie Yunlan paused, Shen Fan was right, this time was more difficult than any other time in the past, no matter how difficult it was to deal with the demons in the past, there was always Shen Fan's soul fire to help, but this time Shen Fan could no longer give him anything help.

However, Xie Yunlan was silent for a moment, and said, "Then I have to give it a try."

Whether it is success or failure, life or death, you have to try it before you can tell.
