Outside the majestic black stone gate of the Demon King's Palace, Hong Ling, dressed in red, held Mo Yan's arm, looking longingly at the tall man in front of him with his big watery eyes.
"You... will you really come back?" Hong Ling's voice was soft and waxy, with a hint of reluctance.
Mo Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little fox in front of him. His usually cold expression softened unconsciously. He raised his hand to sort out the messy hair on Hong Ling's temples awkwardly. After a while of silence, he reached into his clothes, untied a black thunder pattern jade pendant with body temperature, and stuffed it into Hong Ling's palm.
"This is my family heirloom jade pendant." Mo Yan's tone was still stiff, but there was a faint blush on his ears, showing a bit of embarrassment and uneasiness.
"Then why are you giving it to me?" Hong Ling looked at the stone with a confused look on his face. As a fox demon, he obviously didn't understand the human race's behavior of suddenly giving a stone.
Mo Yan choked and remained speechless for a while, then turned away and said in a voice so low that it was almost blown away by the wind, "In the human race, the jade pendant passed down from family... will only be given to the destined person."
Hong Ling looked at him and blinked, still looking confused.
Mo Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's for my wife."
Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then his fair face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the flirtatious red pattern on his forehead was dimmed. He opened his mouth and looked at Mo Yan, but couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Not far behind the two of them, Lin Qingyang and Jin Buhuan, who came to see them off, looked at this scene with expressions of shock on their faces.
"Did I hear you correctly? Is he proposing?" Jin Buhuan was so shocked that he even forgot to shake the folding fan in his hand.
"What happened to the two of them during this time?" Lin Qingyang was also stunned, and he and Jin Buhuan looked at each other, both of them with a ridiculous feeling of "Did I miss some big show" written all over their faces.
At the gate, Mo Yan held Hong Ling's hand with his backhand, tightly wrapped the jade pendant in his palm, and said in a rare gentle and solemn tone, "When I go back and finish handling the affairs of the Immortal Alliance, I will come to the Demon Emperor City to find you."
Hong Ling looked at the jade pendant with body temperature in her hand, her eyes suddenly turned red, she sniffed hard and nodded heavily.
After the explanation, Mo Yan raised his head, took a deep look at Lin Qingyang from a few steps away, and glanced at the cold-faced Cang Mo behind him. There was worry and helplessness in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to follow a group of demon guards and walked out of the city.
Lin Qingyang looked at Mo Yan's back with a bit of reluctance in his expression. Cang Mo, who was standing beside him, was obviously still brooding over the previous threat. He had a sullen face and glanced at Lin Qingyang coldly. He turned around and left without even saying hello.
"What's wrong with you two?" Jin Buhuan looked at Cang Mo's resentful back and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Just getting angry." Lin Qingyang said helplessly.
Jin Buhuan sighed, turned to look at Lin Qingyang, with a faint smile on his lips, "It's time for me to leave, the Sea Clan is still waiting for me to return to my life."
When Lin Qingyang heard this, she snorted coldly and looked at him angrily, "You came all the way here just to join forces with that wolf to trick me?"
Jin Buhuan was silent for a while, then slowly put away the folding fan in his hand, frowned slightly, and said seriously, "I know you are angry, but what I did before was really for your own good."
Lin Qingyang almost laughed angrily, "I used to think that I was already shameless enough, but in front of you, I still feel inferior."
"Don't compare this kind of thing," Jin Buhuan said a little speechlessly, then he paused, all the joking colors on his face subsided, and his expression became rare and solemn, and he continued, "When I was at Jiuxiaomen, I once made a divination for you. One hexagram calculated that there was a death disaster in your life. Later, after what happened in Tianshui City, I thought that the disaster had been solved. But a few days ago, I performed the hexagram again, but I found that it was not. That death disaster is still in your life chart."
The sneer on Lin Qingyang's face froze slightly, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing his silence, Jin Buhuan continued, "I don't know what the overall situation is in your mind, but for now, it seems that staying in Demon Emperor City is the safest for you. No matter what happens in the future, at least he will protect you with his life."
"I've been talking about it all day long." Lin Qingyang snorted disdainfully and raised his eyes again with a disinterested expression, "Stop fooling me with these feudal superstitions. Don't think that you can write off this debt by making up such a set of excuses for betraying me!"
Jin Buhuan shrugged helplessly. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, you can't run away now. Before I find a way to solve the robbery, just stay by his side."
Lin Qingyang glared at him angrily, then thought of something, and with a sharp look in his eyes, he warned, "Don't say these nonsense words in front of him, otherwise you may go crazy again."
Jin Buhuan frowned and looked at him without responding.
Lin Qingyang raised his eyebrows and threatened. "If you dare to talk nonsense to him, I will tell him that we are having an affair. See if he will peel off your turtle shell."
The corner of Jin Buhuan's mouth twitched twice, and he sighed, "When it comes to shamelessness, it has to be you."
Lin Qingyang paused and then asked, seemingly unintentionally. "Since you like fortune telling so much, why don't you also tell him fortunes by the way?"
Jin Buhuan shook his fan and looked deeply. "He is the reincarnation of the Demon King five hundred years ago. His fate has long transcended the six realms and cannot be calculated."
Lin Qingyang frowned slightly and said nothing.
Jin Buhuan winked at him jokingly. "What? Don't you believe in these feudal superstitions?"
Lin Qingyang rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to talk nonsense. She turned around and walked back, only lightly saying in the wind, "Bon voyage."
Hearing this, Jin Buhuan threw off his folding fan, shook it gently and laughed.
When we returned to Blue Wind Palace, the sky had already darkened.
Lin Qingyang walked into the courtyard and saw that the windows were still dark, thinking that Cang Mo was angry and didn't come back. But when he opened the door, he saw Cang Mo sitting on the soft couch facing the door. In the dim light, those wolf eyes looked at him dimly.
Lin Qingyang was startled and said helplessly, "Why don't you turn on the light?" As he said this, he patted the crystals on the wall, and the crystals in the whole room lit up one after another.
Cang Mo was still sitting on the couch looking at him, her handsome and charming face was so heavy that it could drip water, and she almost had the four characters "I'm angry" carved on her forehead.
Lin Qingyang sighed helplessly, closed the door behind her back, and stepped forward. She was about to say a few nice words to smooth the wolf's fur.
Unexpectedly, before the words could be spoken, his wrist was violently grabbed by him, and then the whole person was violently pulled over and laid down on the soft couch.
Before he could stand up, the hot body behind him covered him tightly, tightly confining him under him. The voice coming from his ears was low and hoarse, revealing a bit of gritted teeth and righteousness:
"I did everything you asked, shouldn't you give me some reward... Master?"
