Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Qu Linyan once said that when he went to Qixia Mountain to snatch the life-saving spirit stone, the spirit stone was hidden in the body of a low-level fox.Later, before leaving the Valley of Sad Souls, Qu Linyan mentioned the fox again, and said that if he guessed correctly, the well-protected fox should be the sister of the Fox King, the wife of the head of the Bird Clan—Demon Realm The eldest princess, Yuluo.
Fu Xiaoba is very worried now.
She just wanted to come out to find something to eat, and she just met a fox whose cultivation was not much higher than her own. She felt that they could chat with each other, so she talked a little more, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually Qu Linyan who had offended him earlier. The one who passed?
What's even worse is that, in front of this eldest princess, I was muttering for a long time, forgetting all kinds of mentions of Qu Linyan, and just spouted a lot of bad things about Fu Zhuochen, but I was bumped into by Fu Zhuochen... …
What is this all about!
Fu Xiaoba was terrified, felt his heart beating, his hands shaking, his face was buried in his knees, and he didn't dare to look up for a long time.
But if she didn't look up, she still couldn't escape what she had to face.
Fu Zhuochen reached out and grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the ground with a little force.She hurriedly straightened her body, stood upright, with her hands behind her back, trembling uncontrollably, and drooping her head, she said, "Brother...brother, long time no see." One sound.
Fu Zhuochen had a cold face, and before he could speak the lesson, he was choked back by the voice.
Fu Zhuochen: "You...didn't eat?"
Fu Xiaoba nodded, glanced at Yu Luo beside him from the corner of his eye, squeezed the sour fruit in his hand, and shook his head again: "Eat it."
After finishing speaking, my stomach growled again.
Fu Zhuochen: "..."
Fu Xiaoba was aggrieved: "Actually, I didn't eat much."
Seeing Yuluo at the side, she got up and patted her skirt, and said with a smile: "Fu Zhuochen, I had a great chat with your sister, she didn't disrespect me, so don't blame her for it. It's getting late, I should go back , she has been with me on an empty stomach, you can take her to eat something."
"..." Fu Xiaoba didn't know how to respond for a while, he was uneasy, looked at Yuluo, then looked up at Fu Zhuochen, finally swallowed, and didn't dare to speak.
"Little peacock." Seeing that Fu Xiaoba was in a daze, Yuluo called her, and when she came back to her senses, she smiled and said, "I can't tell others what I said to you tonight." Forget it, waved to Fu Xiaoba, and left first.
"There are still secrets." Fu Zhuochen said flatly, let go of her arm, turned and left.
Fu Xiaoba was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him: "It's not a secret, it's just, it's just..."
Fu Zhuochen glanced at her with his head down, and said, "It's just talking bad things about people behind their backs."
"There are good words, a lot of good words, I... I was wrong..." Fu Xiaoba stretched out his hand and tightly clutched Fu Zhuochen's sleeves, and followed him pathetically, his sleeves were all wrinkled, and he didn't see him pay attention to himself again, Obviously angry.
I just don't know if this anger is because she said bad things about him behind his back, or because she didn't want to go back with him to experience the calamity.
Baihua Valley is the capital of the demon world. Although it is not as prosperous as the human world, there are still streets and markets of the demon race built among the mountains and forests.
Like a child who did something wrong, Fu Xiaoba chased Fu Zhuochen here, still thinking about how to apologize, then saw Fu Zhuochen bought two cakes on the street and handed them to her.
Fu Xiaoba was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he forgot to apologize as soon as he received it, so he happily took a big bite.
The skin of the cake is as thin as paper, covered with a layer of white sesame seeds, it smells sweet, and when you bite it, you will have a burst of mellow fragrance in your mouth. The sweet and soft filling is sandwiched with crunchy nuts. Before Xiao Ba swallowed it down, he wrapped his mouth full of sweetness and praised inarticulately: "What is this, it's so delicious!"
Fu Zhuochen: "I don't know."
The flower demon who sells cakes at the side heard it, and laughed quickly: "This is Poria cocos cake. I learned it in the world. I added some nectar brewed by myself. You can eat it and it will be sweet to the bottom of your heart. It is the only one in the three worlds. You handsome gentleman, don't just give it to the little beauty beside you, try it yourself, maybe you will miss it in the future?"
"No." After Fu Zhuochen finished speaking, he left, walked a few steps, and turned around to see that Fu Xiaoba had already stood in front of the bakery stand, looking at him eagerly while eating.
"I don't have any money." Fu Xiaoba pouted and blinked, "Xiao Hei also likes to eat sweets, can I... can I bring two back for her to taste?"
Fu Zhuochen was silent for a moment, walked back under Fu Xiaoba's expectant gaze, and said to the flower demon proprietress, "I want two more."
"Okay, I'll do it for you." The flower demon said, winking at Fu Xiaoba, "It's really enviable, someone treats you so well."
That look seemed to have misunderstood something, but before Fu Zhuochen could explain, Fu Xiaoba opened his arms and rushed over, bumping into him very suddenly and staggering, and the next second his feet were off the ground, like a little sticky hanging on him.
"I knew my brother was the best!"
Fu Xiaoba is now slim and graceful, and she is no longer the ugly little peacock in the past. Although she and Fu Zhuochen are brothers and sisters, they have no blood relationship.
Suddenly there were eyes from all around, and Fu Zhuochen's eyes flashed with panic, then he frowned, took a deep breath, and calmly said: "Go down."
"Oh." Fu Xiaoba jumped off Fu Zhuochen's body, saw him straightening his sleeves silently with a straight face, and handed the half-eaten Poria biscuit in front of him, "It's really delicious, You try it."
"I don't like sweets." After Fu Zhuochen said, he turned his head and looked elsewhere to calm down. After Fu Xiaoba took over the two shares of Qu Linyan from the flower demon, he said, "Do you remember where? I take you back."
"Yeah!" Fu Xiaoba stretched out his finger in one direction, and then continued to follow behind Fu Zhuochen.
Fu Xiaoba has been able to eat since she was a child, as long as she is given more food, she will be able to talk non-stop from morning to night. Fu Zhuochen knew that two pancakes would not be enough to feed her, so he encountered conveniences along the way and took them away. Yes, so I bought a copy for her.
In this way, Fu Xiaoba ate all the way, and bought an extra portion when he encountered delicious food. Finally, when he returned to the residence arranged by the Fox Clan for Qu Linyan, his stomach was full and he held a with a lot of food.
Qu Linyan just came back for a while, but he couldn't find Fu Xiaoba anywhere, and the nearby maidservants of the fox clan also asked questions and were impatient, and were about to use the spirit search technique, when they saw Fu Xiaoba carrying large and small bags in his hand, Fu Zhuochen followed behind him, bouncing all the way towards him.
"Xiao Hei! I brought you a lot of delicious food!" Fu Xiaoba stuffed the food in Qu Linyan's arms, turned around and grabbed the sleeve of Fu Zhuochen who turned around and wanted to leave, and turned to Qu Linyan. Yan said, "My brother paid for it."
Fu Xiaoba's original intention was to tell Qu Linyan that Fu Zhuochen bought it for her, trying to use this delicious food to ease the atmosphere between them that they can't wait to see each other.
But Qu Linyan couldn't eat this set, and immediately took out a small purse, and handed it to Fu Zhuochen through the air with magic: "You don't need to look for it."
"No need." Fu Zhuochen pushed back, and the money bag returned to Qu Linyan.
Qu Linyan still wanted to be stubborn, but Fu Xiaoba lightly poked his lower back, then took the money back, and said with a complicated mood: "Thank... Thank you for sending Xiaoba back..."
Fu Zhuochen said: "I hope I won't see you starving her again in the future."
Qu Linyan was at a loss for words for a while, the patriarch of the bird clan was very worried about the previous matter about Qixia Mountain, although he didn't say it clearly, he was very wary of her in his heart, and he tried repeatedly during the verbal confrontation all night, until finally he was relieved Only then did she let her go, otherwise she didn't want to come back so late.
In embarrassment, Fu Xiaoba bit his lip, pulled Fu Zhuochen's sleeve lightly, and said, "I had something to eat when I came here, but I was very hungry..."
"It's nothing, I'm leaving." After Fu Zhuochen said, he glanced at Fu Xiaoba, Fu Xiaoba shrank his neck, let go of his fingers tightly clutching his sleeve, and lowered his head.
After Fu Zhuochen left, Fu Xiaoba was somewhat depressed.
Although Fu Zhuochen was not so gentle to her in the past, at least he was not as cold as today.
His choice at the beginning seemed to have really disappointed and angered him, so he didn't come during the wedding, but now that he came here, he should just sell the Fox King and the head of the Bird Clan to save face.
With lingering fear in his heart, Qu Linyan said: "Xiaoba, where did you go? I didn't find you when I came back, I was so scared to death."
Fu Xiaoba shook his head, and said: "I'm just hungry, I went out to look for something to eat, and I happened to bump into my brother."
"Are you full now?" Qu Linyan looked at Fu Xiaoba with sour eyes and tone.
Fu Xiaoba nodded, and looked at Qu Linyan with some puzzlement: "What's wrong? Xiao Hei."
Qu Linyan shook her head, and brought Fu Xiaoba into the back room, only to see two bowls of steaming wontons on the table, she said: "When I came back, I thought you must be hungry, so I brought two bowls of wontons, Planning to come back and eat together. As a result, you have already followed the fire...your brother is full."
I really don't like someone, but in order to take into account Fu Xiaoba's mood, I'd better use the honorific title reluctantly.
Hearing this, Fu Xiaoba quickly patted his stomach, jumped to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and said happily: "The hot wonton smells so good, Xiao Hei is really thoughtful!"
Qu Linyan hurriedly sat beside her, and said, "Don't support yourself."
"No, I have two stomachs!" Fu Xiaoba said with a grin while holding his chopsticks, "Brother's is full, but Xiao Hei's is still empty."
Qu Linyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, seeing that Fu Xiaoba was eating happily, he also opened the food that Fu Xiaoba brought back, muttering: "What did you bring back?"
"I just found out today that there are so many delicious foods invented by humans in the demon world!" Fu Xiaoba leaned forward to look, "This, this jujube paste walnut cake is delicious, and this, this tuckahoe cake, which we had before The human world has never eaten it. Also, there is that... what fire, try it, try it..."
That night, Fu Xiaoba coaxed Qu Linyan to eat a lot of food, which made her feel bloated until she fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, Fu Xiaoba mentioned Fu Zhuochen again.
"My brother is still mad at me," she said.
Qu Linyan remembered that Fu Xiaoba once said that Fu Zhuochen was entrusted by others to take care of her, in order to protect her from successfully surviving the tribulation and ascending to the Godhead.Fu Zhuochen raised her for 400 years, but she failed Fu Zhuochen's expectations of her, making Fu Zhuochen a person who broke his promise, and he felt guilty unavoidably.
Fu Xiaoba is not a person who can hide his thoughts. Although it was just such a small sigh, Qu Linyan could hear it very clearly. Even if he didn't say it clearly, he still cared about it in his heart, and cared about the fact that the relationship between them could not be obtained. Even a word of blessing from Fu Zhuochen.

"I heard that today the Fox King will give the companion spirit treasure to the little princess, and the patriarch of the bird tribe will pass on his skills to help her spread her wings and grow her feathers."
"The little princess has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and the coming-of-age ceremony is even more grand, which is very enviable."
"Isn't that right? On the [-]th birthdays of His Royal Highness and the Second Princess, the Fox King did not entertain all the tribes..."
"Hush! Don't say this again. If His Royal Highness and Second Princess hear it, I don't know what trouble it will cause!"
Princess Yuyao was born with a pair of fleshy wings, but she is fluffy and featherless like a baby bird, thin and hard to fly.
Now that Yuyao's [-]th birthday is approaching, everyone wants to see if this little fox princess with long wings can really spread her wings and fly high. For a while, the Baihua Valley gathers a group of monsters, and everyone discusses it, which is very lively.
Fu Xiaoba took a seat right behind Qu Linyan, turned his head and saw Fu Zhuochen from a distance, stood up happily and waved to him.It's just that she was very sure that Fu Zhuochen really met her gaze when he raised his eyes, but he still sat silently and sat far away from her and Qu Linyan.
Fu Xiaoba pursed his lips, bit his lip and sat back down.
Qu Linyan leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "Everyone's seat is arranged in advance, it's not that he doesn't want to accompany you, it's just that there are rules here."
After hearing this, Fu Xiaoba's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Qu Linyan said: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Fu Xiaoba turned his head away, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising slightly: "Haven't you been lying to me from the beginning?"
Qu Linyan shook his head with a smile, but it was inconvenient to be intimate with her under the eyes of everyone, so he stroked the hair on her forehead and begged for mercy: "Don't keep remembering those old things, I've changed my ways a long time ago. "
Fu Xiaoba tilted his head, smiled and said nothing.
Today's Baihua Valley can be said to be very lively, Qu Linyan said that most of the people who can enter the main hall of the palace today are people with high status in the demon world and their relatives and followers.Fu Xiaoba was curious, and kept looking around, sizing up everyone who entered the venue with curious eyes.
Seeing that Fu Xiaoba's eyes were full of curiosity, Qu Linyan held back his temper and whispered in her ear the visitors whom he could recognize.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the hall, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Fu Xiaoba was lifted up from his seat by Qu Linyan, only when he came back to his senses did he realize that it was the Fox King who had arrived, so he hurriedly looked towards the gate of the palace.
"Fox King's talent has been unmatched for thousands of years. I heard that he has cultivated to nine tails at the age of [-]. His eldest son's talent is considered excellent, but now he is [-] years old, but he only has five tails. " Qu Linyan whispered in Fu Xiaoba's ear, "It's not unreasonable for all the clans in the demon world to submit to him."
After finishing speaking, she pushed Fu Xiaoba lightly, and said dissatisfiedly, "My eyes are straight!"
Fu Xiaoba scratched his head and said, "I just didn't expect that Fox King looks so young."
In the past in the Valley of No Worry, she knew very little about things outside the valley, but in the past two days in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, she has heard many things that she did not know before.For example, it is said that this fox king was once the most beautiful man in the demon world, but now, although he is old, he seems to have been favored by the years, and he has not left many traces, which is still unforgettable.
Fu Xiaoba didn't quite believe such a statement.
Demons have immature spirits, and their immature spirits linger on, their appearance is not old, and their immature spirits will disperse after the goblins give birth to their offspring.
If the fox king had never given birth and his childish spirit was still there, he might not look old, but his youngest daughter was as old as her, and had already lost her childish spirit. Now she is more than five thousand years old, even if she is not an old man with a gray beard , it should be a wrinkled uncle, right?
It's just that at this moment, she has to believe those rumors that are exaggerated even if she thinks about it with her feet.
There really is such an outrageous existence in the demon world, who survived the once-in-a-century catastrophe and lived to over 5000 years old, but only left a few fine lines in the corners of his eyes, unable to conceal the charm that words cannot describe in case.
Thinking this way, Fu Xiaoba raised his eyes and saw the woman following the leader of the Niao clan, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Qu Linyan saw that Fu Xiaoba was staring at the wife of the head of the Bird Clan, couldn't hold back, and said sourly: "The demon world is so big, there are many good-looking skins, no matter men, women, young or old, you will like them when you see them. This is not a taste in my heart."
"No, it's not...I didn't!" Fu Xiaoba hastily denied it.
Seeing that everyone around him sat down, Qu Linyan also sat down with his arms crossed and his buttocks folded. He turned his head and made a small expression of "come and coax me quickly".
"In my opinion, elder brother and Xiao Hei are the prettiest." Fu Xiaoba hastily flattered him.
"I want to compete with that fire...your brother." Qu Linyan took a sneak peek at Fu Xiaoba.
Without hesitation, Fu Xiaoba stepped forward and held Qu Linyan's side face, took a bite, and said, "Xiao Hei is the most beautiful, I like Xiao Hei the most!"
Someone from the side cast a strange look, Qu Linyan blushed slightly, his eyes signaled Fu Xiaoba to sit down, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up wildly.
Soon, many fox maids with fox ears and swaying tails brought dishes to each seat. Fu Xiaoba's eyes lit up, and he started to eat, obviously never being hungry, but Eating like a little hungry ghost, he no longer listens or looks at everything around him.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
In the center of the hall, a high platform with stacked spiritual power suddenly condensed, a little red fox jumped up from under the platform, and the surrounding spiritual power suddenly surged, surrounding it heavily in just a moment.
The patriarch of the Bird Clan stood up and made seals with his hands. The wind blew up around the high platform, swirling black feathers like blades, as if trying to swallow that weak body completely.
The little fox lay on the high platform where the spiritual power gathered, closed his eyes tightly, and opened his pair of thin, featherless wings to face the storm and the feather blades.The powerful spiritual power tore it apart in all directions, and it tried to mediate with it, like a chick jumping down from the top of a mountain, struggling to flap its wings in the strong wind.
It looked painful, and the fluffy wings behind it gave birth to patches of red feathers. Its wings were just full, and it sounded like a wild goose.
Fu Xiaoba raised his head while eating, his mouth was so shocked that his eyes were full of shock.
She saw a piece of fox jade falling into the formation of black feathers raging in the wind from mid-air, shining a dazzling red light, and the black feathers were instantly ignited by it.
Fire, full of fire, drowned it completely.
The body of the little fox, like a phoenix nirvana, wailed in agony in the fire brought by the wind, but it also transformed into the most graceful figure.
"No, don't..." Fu Xiaoba began to tremble uncontrollably.
Qu Linyan frowned, and held the back of her hand tightly.
Fu Xiaoba subconsciously wanted to escape, but found that he could not break free at all.
So hot, so hot...so painful...
In a trance, it seemed that there were vines that pierced deeply into her heart.
"Don't...please..."
The woman in white had pale lips, closed her eyes, and lay motionless on the high platform.
——Sorry, I need your blood, and I will make it up to you in the next life.
——But... I can't go back... I don't have an afterlife.
There is a voice, crying in the ear.
It was herself, crying and crying—help me, save me...
All of a sudden, everyone saw the little demon next to Qu Linyan yelling and standing up. She pushed Qu Linyan away from her side, like a moth, flew madly, To the mid-air surrounded by fire.That movement was as fast as if it wasn't a little demon who had practiced for 500 years, and it knocked the woman flying in the red flames off the high platform.
And almost at the same time, the fox king slapped his palm across the air, and the spiritual flow rushed towards the little monster like a sea of fire and blood waves covering the sky and covering the sun.
At that moment, the fiery red peacock's tail screen bloomed between the sky and the ground, Xuanjiao also roared in the air, surrounded by black smoke and blood mist, tightly protecting the weak little monster behind him.
The three strands of spiritual power collided violently, and the world trembled for it.
The dazzling aura slowly dissipated, and everyone saw that the surrounding tables and stools were overturned by the air waves, and the food was scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the visitors around, those who reacted quickly put away their body-protecting spiritual power in astonishment, and were at a loss for a moment, looking at each other in blank dismay, while those who reacted slower were thrown to the ground, screaming "ouch" in pain.
Most of the people were concerned about the little fox princess at the first moment, but Fu Zhuochen, with blood on his mouth, silently looked at Qu Linyan who was sitting on the ground, watching her embrace Fu Xiaoba into her arms, and use her scarred hand With five fingers, caressing the slightly pale cheek, it seemed that she was still in shock.
"Are you all right?" The elder sister was the first to help her up, her eyes full of worry.
"No... I'm fine." Yuyao shook her head, looked up at Fu Xiaoba, her eyes were a little dazed, she couldn't figure out when she offended this little demon, and why she embarrassed her like this in public.
Fu Xiaoba suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, Qu Linyan hurriedly wiped it off, but the wounds on his hand began to heal at that moment.
Fu Zhuochen subconsciously wanted to step forward to cover it, Qu Linyan couldn't help being startled, and quickly hid his hands in his sleeves, but he couldn't hide it from all eyes.
After a moment of silence, someone stretched out a finger tremblingly.
"That's... the Feng Clan?"
