Little Peacock Raising a Snake

Chapter 36

The little princess of the Fox Clan was born in two months' time, so Qu Linyan had a lot of time to prepare.

In the past, things in the clan were always handled by Qu Muqing. After Qu Muqing left, her every move was influenced by the elders and lovesickness. , It's more like a sharp blade in the Jiao clan that points and hits, without too many thoughts of its own.

Qu Linyan knew very well that everyone in the Jiao Clan didn't really convince her, and she couldn't continue like this if she wanted to protect Fu Xiaoba.

Fu Xiaoba is a fairy who has gone through many calamities in the heavens. Paper cannot wrap fire, and she will be discovered by the heavens sooner or later. The power of the Jiao clan is not enough, she also needs the power of the demon world.

It's just that the demon clan and the demon clan did not interfere with each other thousands of years ago, and the information between them was relatively closed. She only knows that the red-eyed blood wolf clan is the most respected in the demon world now, and the demon master Chi Yuan is a blood wolf demon who has cultivated for more than 4000 years.There are two sons under Chi Yuan's knees, the eldest son Chi Qiong is very close to the Kudeng clan, and the second son Chi Heng is a playboy and not very successful.

Besides, it is not heard that there is a powerful woman surnamed Shen in the Demon Race.

That Miss Shen is a green lizard demon, she has the strength to hide herself in the devil world where there are many masters, and she should have a not simple identity.

Even so, Qu Linyan still had no idea, she thought, at least she had to know the identity of Miss Shen, and establish a stable relationship with her by the way.

During these two peaceful months, she once sent someone to go to Yuntian City in the Demon Realm. Returned the news that the red-eyed blood wolf clan and the dry lamp clan have completely waged war.

If it wasn't for sending someone there this time, Qu Linyan would not have known that a civil war had already started in the devil world.

Hearing this news, Qu Linyan was not too surprised. Miss Shen was intercepted and killed by the withered lamp tribe with the nine-turn soul-killing formation in the human world that day. The family settles accounts.The fight between the two clans just proved that Miss Shen never lied, at least Mozun was willing to compromise the interests of the eldest son and start a war with the Withered Lantern clan for her.

The Demon Realm was in civil turmoil, and it would be inconvenient to disturb her for a while, so Qu Linyan temporarily suppressed the matter of contacting Miss Shen in her heart.

Later, Qu Linyan took time out to spend time with his daughter-in-law in the midst of the meaningless busyness, while recovering from his injury.

The Jiao clan is not large in number, but after all they live in one place, it is inevitable that there will be some trivial matters that need to be adjusted by others, such as Zhang San and Li Si fighting for Cuihua, Wang Wu owed the Deng and Liu families two animal skins and refused to return them. This hard-to-recite scripture is really a headache to manage...

She was not around on weekdays, and the elders took care of these messy things on their behalf, but recently, maybe everyone was not very satisfied with her, so many things piled up, and they were all left to her, so she had to deal with them herself.

In her spare time, she stayed with Fu Xiaoba all the time. Not only did she learn how to make sugar and make desserts with Xiangsi, but she also started to take Fu Xiaoba outside the cave to breathe.

It's just that the Valley of Sad Souls is a place where everyone in the demon world retreats. Only the wild animals and birds are not seen in the human world. Compared with the human world, it is much more boring.

Recently, Fu Xiaoba always had nightmares, Qu Linyan asked Xiangsi several times to help comfort Fu Xiaoba's dreams, but he couldn't dispel the repeated nightmares.

"Xiangsi, what exactly did you see when you entered her dream? Why is she always restless and having nightmares?"

"She is afraid of you. She repeats the same nightmare again and again. In the dream...you killed her." Xiangsi said, and couldn't help frowning, "Why would she have such a dream? Between you and her... Was there any misunderstanding?"

"I...I don't know." Qu Linyan unconsciously dodged his eyes.

In fact, Qu Linyan knew that Fu Xiaoba was afraid.

Fu Xiaoba knew that her blood could save Ah Qing. She came here to gamble with her life. She thought she would be happy, but she just entered a place where no one accepts her. In this kind of place, She couldn't get any sense of security, she just forced a smile on her face based on a trust.

Qu Linyan knew everything, but she couldn't tell Xiangsi, she was afraid that Xiangsi would be in a dilemma when she knew Fu Xiaoba's identity, so she could only keep everything in her heart, and had nowhere to confide in.

When there was no one in private, she caressed Fu Xiaoba's cheek, and said softly: "I will take you to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, accompany you to meet your brother, and after that, we will travel around together. The way to save Ah Qing."

Fu Xiaoba couldn't help being taken aback, raised his eyes to look at Qu Linyan for a while, and said in a low voice, "What if there isn't one?"

"Then keep looking, look for another 1000 years, find the age of catastrophe, find the powerless."

"After I came back with you, you really never thought about..." Fu Xiaoba asked, "Sacrificing me?"

Qu Linyan hurriedly covered Fu Xiaoba's lips, his eye circles were red, and he said in a slightly angry tone: "You're not here, how do you want me to live?"

Fu Xiaoba lowered his eyes, not knowing how to respond, he just stared at Qu Linyan in a daze.Qu Linyan gently cupped her cheeks: "You promised me that you would accompany me through the rest of my life, I believe it, and I will recognize you for the rest of my life."

Fu Xiaoba thought that she should never forget that Qu Linyan said that to her that day.

"If there is no more you in this world, I will not be able to live."

***

Although the land is vast, most of the bright land is occupied by the monster race.

Baihua Valley, the Demon City, is a rare place of light in the world. Not only that, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the four seasons are like spring, and the spiritual power is particularly abundant. Hundreds of flowers bloom in this world every day and night, so it is named .

Qu Linyan once said that Baihua Valley is the most beautiful place in the dark world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland, but now that it is here, it is really so.

Fu Xiaoba has not traveled too many places in her life, and she still has a great sense of freshness about everything in the world. Since entering the Valley of Hundred Flowers, she has stopped and picked many unnamed flowers. Shaking it left and right in his hand, he seemed to be showing off his "fruits of labor" to Qu Linyan.

Not far away, there seemed to be a group of red, fluffy little guys among the knee-length flowers. Fu Xiaoba used to like to play with small animals in Wuyou Valley. Feet leaned over.

The little guy huddled up and taking a nap obviously sensed someone approaching, so he quickly raised his head to meet him.

"It's a fox! It's so cute!" Fu Xiaoba was very pleasantly surprised. She had never seen a fox before, and she immediately wanted to reach out to hug it.

"It's the red fox..." Qu Linyan hurriedly dragged Fu Xiaoba back.

In the demon world, apart from the lineage of the demon king, there are no other red foxes. The relationship between the Jiao clan and the entire demon world is delicate, so it can't be abrupt with the blood of the royal family of the demon clan.

Fu Xiaoba was taken aback by Qu Linyan's tugging. The next second, the little fox lying on the ground rolled his eyes at her, got up and stretched his forelimbs, and opened a pair of furry legs on his furry back. The small, fleshy wings flapped and flew away.

The fox didn't fly very high, it almost flew close to the ground, its back view looked a little funny, but its speed was very fast, Fu Xiaoba was dumbfounded.

"Fly...fly away?" Fu Xiaoba was stunned, "I never heard that foxes have wings..."

Qu Linyan said: "The two clans of foxes and birds have a very close relationship. The queen of the fox clan is a thrush. When I was in the human world earlier, I heard a little demon from the bird clan discuss this matter. It was quite interesting, so I remembered it." Come down. They said... Fox King is an affectionate person, he loves the princess very much, he doesn't even care about having a boy or a girl, all he wants is to have a little thrush with the princess, and then it hurts on the tip of his heart."

Fu Xiaoba said: "Humei is also a very weak existence in the bird clan, right? Isn't it good to give birth to foxes?"

"Yes, but even if you are weak, you are also of the same family as your lover. This cannot be measured by strength or weakness." Qu Linyan said with a smile, "Although it is impossible, if you and I can have children, I also want one. What a cute little peacock."

Fu Xiaoba stared: "Liar, when you were in the human world, you clearly called me ugly, and even called me a pheasant!"

Qu Linyan hurriedly said: "I have changed my opinion now, the peacock is the most beautiful bird in the Three Realms."

Fu Xiaoba knew that Qu Linyan was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he didn't refute it, he just blinked his sharp eyes and said: "Our peacock clan is all good-looking, brother is like this, we can have a son , it will definitely look good when you grow up."

Qu Linyan said: "But we can't have children."

"We've all been through that more than once, can't we get pregnant?" Fu Xiaoba tilted his head and asked.

"Of course not, you and I are both women."

"That's it." Fu Xiaoba looked a little disappointed.

Seeing Fu Xiaoba's little disappointed expression, Qu Linyan hurriedly continued to talk in order to divert his attention: "It's just that the blood of the nine-tailed red fox is too strong. The princess gave birth to two babies successively. One boy and one girl are both foxes. , I didn’t see half a bird’s feather.”

"Ah this..."

"500 years ago, the fox clan had another little princess, and this time she finally had wings, but unfortunately she was still a fox." Qu Linyan said, shaking his head, "The concubine persuaded the fox king to forget it, the fox king I still want a little thrush."

Fu Xiaoba found it amusing, and asked curiously, "What happened later?"

Qu Linyan smiled and said: "But the Fox King has already passed the age of catastrophe. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is already old. He really can't move anymore. The idea of ​​making a bird has become the Fox King's idea." Uneasy."

"This is too miserable, my heart hurts!" Fu Xiaoba said miserably, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qu Linyan tapped Fu Xiaoba's lips, and said with a smile: "Keep your voice down, this is the territory of the Fox Clan, it's not good for us."

"Oh yes!" Fu Xiaoba quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were full of happiness when he looked at Qu Linyan.

She likes everything outside the Valley of Sad Souls, and likes to walk around with Qu Linyan and listen to different stories.

The Three Realms are so big, she didn't want to stay in that place where people looked down on her forever, and after leaving the small spiritual cave in the Valley of Sorrowful Souls, her mood seemed to open up a lot.

"Xiao Hei, have you heard anything interesting?" Fu Xiaoba asked as he walked.

Qu Linyan thought about it, he had lived under the pressure from his clan for half of his life, had he ever seriously savored the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the world?Fu Xiaoba wanted to hear stories, and she suddenly realized that apart from some old stories she had told Fu Xiaoba in her mind, there was nothing new and interesting to tell.

"It's gone now. In the future, let's walk together and watch it together. Wait until... When Ah Qing comes back, we will help her find someone who can trust her for life. When she and her brother-in-law have a child, we will see this life as a whole." Tell him little by little all the interesting stories that you come to and write down..."

After hearing this, Fu Xiaoba couldn't help feeling yearning, yearning for the future that Qu Linyan talked about.

"Will there be such a day?"

"Yes, it will."

***

After Fu Xiaoba followed Qu Linyan to Baihua Valley, soon someone from the Fox clan took them to the temporary residence.

Since you are in the Fox Clan, you must know some Fox Clan rules. The demon world is not as clear-cut as the human world and the heavenly world, but the minimum etiquette still cannot be lost.

Qu Linyan said that the fox king has three children: the eldest son Yuxuan, who is over [-] years old and has five tails; the second daughter Yumo, who is over [-] years old, and has three tails; A juvenile fox cub will be five hundred years old in two days.

These three are the young ancestors of the entire fox clan, it's best not to see them, if they do, they must not be offended.

Fu Xiaoba asked: "The one we saw just now is the little daughter of the Fox King?"

"Yes." Qu Linyan said, "Among the three children, this youngest daughter is the most favored. This time, the Fox Clan invited all the clans of the demon world to Baihua Valley to celebrate this collection of pets. The little princess has a grand coming-of-age ceremony."

It is said that the Fox King is also planning to pass on his companion Lingbao to the little princess. I heard that the Lingbao has [-]% of the Fox King's cultivation, which is not the same as her older brothers and sisters.

Just because she wanted to inherit this thing, the little princess could already transform into a human, but in order to go through a more formal process, her mana has been temporarily sealed recently, and she will be unsealed on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoba couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is so complicated. I think that when I transformed into a form, I felt a spiritual power in my body. I tried to hold it back, but then I made a move... Isn't it a little too informal? "

Qu Linyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's more than informal, the way you mobilize your spiritual power is completely wrong, and you haven't shed all your hair."

Fu Xiaoba scratched his head, hehe giggled, and was about to ask Qu Linyan what is the Companion Spiritual Treasure, when he heard someone knocking on the door, it was the leader of the Bird Clan who sincerely invited Qu Linyan to come over for a while.

When Qu Linyan got up, Fu Xiaoba stretched out his hand and grabbed her sleeve: "Isn't it to settle accounts with you..."

"At that time, the incident was indeed quite big, and the debt must always be settled, but in order to ease the relationship between the Jiao clan and the entire demon world, it should not make things difficult for me. Don't worry, wait for me to come back." Qu Linyan said, touching Touching Fu Xiaoba's head, he left with the little fox demon leading the way.

Qu Linyan had been away for a long time, Fu Xiaoba was bored in the room, and was a little hungry, and was too embarrassed to beg for food from the fox demon outside, so he walked out of the guest room with his flat belly, I want to look around to see if there are any fruits that I can pick and eat.

The Hundred Flowers Valley has been very lively recently, and fairies of various races can be seen everywhere.

Most of the goblins who have lived in the human world for a long time walk in human form, while the goblins who have lived in the mountains or in the land for a long time, even if they take human form, most of them retain half of their body form.Along the way, Fu Xiaoba saw many goblins in the form of half-human and half-demon, some with horns, some with ears, some with long tails, and some with flowers, leaves and branches on their hands and feet.

In the past, there were no other elves in Wuyou Valley except Fu Zhuochen. Fu Zhuochen was a demon who grew up in the human world and used to keep his human appearance.There are quite a few dragons with tails and horns in the Jiao clan spirit cave, but they all look the same, nothing new.Now in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, there are really all kinds of goblins, Fu Xiaoba is like a mountain man who has entered the city, everything he sees feels very fresh.

As we walked along the road, it became dark.

She ran around following the fresh food for a long time, but she forgot that she came out to look for food in the first place. At this time, her stomach groaned, and then she patted her forehead and began to rethink about what to eat.

"Why don't you go back, maybe Xiao Hei has already gone back, let her make it for me to eat." Fu Xiaoba said to himself, and was about to go back, when he saw a big fruit fell from the tree , right in the back of her head.

"Ah..." Fu Xiaoba picked up the fruit, touched his head, and looked back at the place where the fruit fell.

Sitting on the big tree behind him was a woman in orange, with bare feet, her slender legs dangling slightly in the air.

The woman rested her chin with one hand, a pair of overly good-looking eyes met Fu Xiaoba's gaze.

Fu Xiaoba was stunned, shook the fruit in his hand, tilted his head and asked, "For me?"

The woman frowned and said with a smile, "I heard your stomach growl." Fu Xiaoba took a bite, couldn't help frowning, couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and said, "It's so sour..."

"It's right that it's sour. I also feel sour, but the big bird can't eat it. She picked it for me on the way here during the day. She said that the fruit is very sweet at first glance, so I should keep it and eat it when I'm hungry." The woman As he said that, several more appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he pushed forward, "Look, there are so many more."

"Can't eat it?" Fu Xiaoba was a little puzzled.

"Yeah, she has no sense of taste," the woman said.

"That's it..." Fu Xiaoba nodded, "Then you feel sore, why don't you tell her?"

"She has picked a lot, but she is very proud. I don't want to pour cold water on it." The woman's words revealed her dependence on that big bird.

Even if Fu Xiaoba understood that the big bird in her mouth should be the same as the little black in his heart, he is a very important person to her.

At this moment, the woman jumped down from the tree, "I don't think your cultivation level is high, you shouldn't be invited here, right? Did you come here secretly, wanting to meet the little princess' coming-of-age ceremony?"

Fu Xiaoba blinked and didn't know how to answer. Seeing that she didn't answer, the woman continued to ask: "Do you have a place to live?"

Fu Xiaoba hurriedly said, "I followed Xiao Hei."

"Xiao Hei?" The woman thought for a moment, she didn't seem to think of such a number one person, but seeing Fu Xiaoba said so, she didn't worry about it anymore, she just stepped forward, and stuffed the fruit in her hand like a burden In Fu Xiaoba's arms, "It's sour, it can still fill your stomach. I don't have anything else in my hand. Just eat to satisfy your hunger."

"Ah...thank you."

Fu Xiaoba looked down at the pile of fruit in his bosom, he didn't want to eat it for a while, he didn't want to eat it, he wanted to find a place to throw it away after the woman left, but when he looked up, he saw the woman staring directly at him, There is a bit of expectation in the eyes.

"..." Fu Xiaoba thought for a while, and quickly diverted her attention: "By the way, I am Peacock, what about you? What kind of fairy are you?"

"I am a fox." Said the fox demon.

"I heard that a fox trims its tail all its life, how many tails do you have?" Fu Xiaoba asked.

"One." The fox demon pursed her lips.

Fu Xiaoba had long felt that the little fox's spiritual power was weak, and his cultivation should not be much higher than his own. Seeing her response, he immediately patted her on the shoulder and encouraged him: "It's okay, as long as you work hard, you will succeed." More and more!"

"I don't like to practice." Said the fox demon, and sat hugging his knees against the big tree.

Fu Xiaoba tilted his head, sat down beside her, and said, "What a coincidence? I don't like cultivation either, it's tiring and boring! There's nothing wrong with being a little demon. Anyway, Xiao Hei said that she would Protect me for the rest of my life."

The fox demon looked up at Fu Xiaoba, and said with a smile: "The big bird said so, and the stinky fox also said so."

Fu Xiaoba: "Smelly fox?"

Fox Demon: "My brother."

Fu Xiaoba raised his eyebrows and said, "I also have an older brother, but...he has a bad temper."

Fox Demon: "My brother has a bad temper too."

As the fox demon spoke, he couldn't help complaining: "He used to beat me all the time, hitting me on the head with a fan in his hand, calling me stupid, and tricking me into the brothel, saying that there was a senior vixen inside."

Fu Xiaoba let out an "ah" and said: "My brother wouldn't be like this, but... but Xiao Hei lied to me that he had been to a brothel, and said that men and women in the world court in that kind of place, so I should learn from it..."

The fox demon couldn't help laughing: "Who are you, Xiao Hei?"

Fu Xiaoba couldn't help blushing, bowed his head and said, "Xiao Hei...Xiao Hei is the one I like."

Fu Xiaoba: "Hey, it's mainly...he really doesn't like Xiao Hei, but I like Xiao Hei very much..."

Fox Demon: "What a coincidence, isn't it? I like Big Bird, but my brother doesn't like Big Bird either."

Fu Xiaoba: "He doesn't like Xiao Hei, because Xiao Hei lied to me at the beginning and approached me with a purpose, and Xiao Hei is a woman, in the eyes of others... I and her are ridiculous."

Fox demon: "The same is true for Big Bird, so for a long time, the stinky fox has not liked her."

Fu Xiaoba heard this, patted his thigh, and exclaimed: "Could it be fate? Little fox, our experiences are too similar! What happened to you and that big bird, can you tell me more?"

The fox demon froze for a moment, shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, anyway... the stinky fox won't stop us anymore, and I've been with her for a long time. Little peacock, if you really like that one named Xiao Hei, who else The look in her eyes is not important, the important thing is how she treats you."

Fu Xiaoba nodded when he heard the words, and said happily, "Little Fox, you and I are so destined, can I tell you my story?"

The fox demon nodded and said: "Of course, maybe I can help you as a staff officer."

Fu Xiaoba didn't have many friends when he was a child, and he met Miss Shen, but his friendship was quite shallow, and he didn't know her name until we parted, so it was inconvenient to talk to her a lot.Now that she meets a little fox demon with a low cultivation base, and the two have similar experiences, this makes her feel very cordial, and she wants to vomit all the happy or unhappy things in her heart.

The fox demon saw that Fu Xiaoba was suddenly interested in talking, so he didn't interrupt, and listened carefully to all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet things she picked out from childhood to adulthood, but he also listened with great interest, and gave a few responses from time to time .

In this way, a peacock and a fox chatted under a big tree.

Chatting and chatting, Fu Xiaoba felt hungry, and took a few bites of the fruit in his bosom, feeling sour, while continuing to brag in the ear of the fox demon, saying how powerful Qu Linyan and Fu Zhuochen were for a while Great, and after a while, I couldn't help talking about the little bad things about the two of them.

As she spoke bad words, Fu Xiaoba suddenly felt that the moonlight beside her was blocked, and subconsciously raised her head to take a look. Just this one look made her swallow hard, and she shut her mouth and dared not speak again.

"Huh?" The fox demon couldn't help being curious when he saw that the little peacock was eloquent one second, and then suddenly stopped talking, as if he had done something wrong, and buried his little head in his knees little by little. Looking up at the person standing beside him, he asked clearly, "When did you come?"

"Just arrived, I felt that this spiritual breath was a bit familiar, so I followed it."

The tone of the conversation between the two was obviously old acquaintances.

Fu Xiaoba felt that his mind was blank, and he couldn't figure out why for a long time.

In the next second, the visitor bowed to the fox demon and said: "Xiao Ba is young, and his words and deeds are somewhat reckless. I hope the eldest princess will not be offended."

The fox demon said: "It's okay, the big bird went to talk with Xuanjiao, I was idle, and I happened to see this little girl running around, so I chatted with her, we hit it off quite unexpectedly. "

Fu Xiaoba: "?????"

The author has something to say: Little Peacock: I regard you as a friend, but you are my senior?

Little Fox: Hee hee...
