Chapter 10 Demon Monarch: Unprepared
Chapter 10 Demon Monarch: Unprepared
Yuan Zhao picked up the trauma medicine he had placed by Kong Zaijin's door, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Demolish the house?" Mo Jun looked down at the cheap apprentice who was lying on his back on the ground and holding up the exercises, feeling a little headache.
"Master." He endured the pain and stood up, "I am studying exercises."
The Demon Lord raised his eyebrows: "What a battle."
Kong Zaixu was embarrassed to look at him, and he tightly draped the black coat on his body, bent down to pick up the volume of exercises, and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "Master, what's the matter?"
Yuan Zhao saw that he was neither ill nor slow, with a ruddy complexion, and wondered if Qing Shu had heard it wrong.
He tidied up the messy room with spells, sat on the stool unceremoniously, and motioned Kong Zaijin to sit down.Yuan Zhao took out a bottle of medicine and pushed it to him: "Take it."
Kong Zaijin looked up at him, not understanding what he meant.
Yuan Zhao: "Trauma ointment. Didn't you get hurt?"
Kong Zaijin didn't know what it was like: after becoming his master, he would be left alone for several days, and when he no longer expected it, he would complain and give him medicine.
He stretched out his hand to grab the medicine bottle, but the big coat casually draped over his body got in the way.But he couldn't bear to take it off, and shook his hands to reveal his wrist.
This dress... looks familiar?Yuan Zhao frowned: "Your clothes don't fit?"
Kong Zaijin's eyes flickered slightly: "Someone's old robe."
Yuan Zhao: "?!" Who else has men's robes in Taoyuan Hall?Do you still have to guess?
[The majestic devil is reluctant to give him new clothes?This is too stingy, right? 】
Yuan Zhao was uncomfortable by Xiaoqing's words, looked at the old clothes, and said to Kong Zaijin, "No clothes that fit?"
Kong Zaijin looked at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if he thought the question was funny: "I have. Besides, Lord Mojun bought me quite a lot. Master really doesn't remember, he is still playing with me What game? This game is not fun at all." After speaking, the voice was a little choked.
Yuan Zhao only remembered that he bought him clothes from childhood and adulthood... His head hurts again.Rubbing the forehead: "Since you have it, why do you still wear something that doesn't fit you?"
Kong Zaijin asked without answering: "Master is so busy these days, is he busy preparing for retreat again?"
How did you know? !Yuan Zhao hurriedly called Xiaoqing: How could he know what I was thinking? !Xiaoqing, hurry up and see if he can read minds!
[He can't.If so, my existence would have been exposed long ago] Xiaoqing has been looking at the big coat, thinking about something.
Yuan Zhao: It is true.
[You remember to take that big coat away. 】
Yuan Zhao wondered: why?
[It's your clothes, and when the task target and you need to avoid suspicion, it's not good to put the clothes here with the task target. 】
Yuan Zhao: Yes.
He fell silent suddenly because of the conversation with Xiaoqing. In Kong Zaijin's eyes, he was suddenly speechless after being exposed.
Kong Zaijin's expression was cold, and he said: "Master, indeed, he regards cultivation as the highest."
Yuan Zhao thought for a while, and said, "Indeed." So, you should understand that I am very busy and have to learn to be self-reliant.
Kong Zaijin bit his lips and remained silent.
Yuan Zhao remembered Qing Shu's words and asked, "What are you looking for today?"
"I didn't look for Master, Zaijin knew that the Demon King was busy, so I didn't dare to bother him lightly."
Yuan Zhao carefully observed his facial expression, seeing that he was quite resentful, and asked incredulously, "Are you having a fight?"
Kong Zaijin didn't speak.
"There are some problems with the government affairs and the peacock fiefdom during the retreat period. I am not so busy to prepare for the retreat." After thinking about it, Yuan Zhao decided to lie to him.
Kong Zaijin stared at him with clear eyes, and broke through his clumsy lie: "Master's government affairs can usually be resolved in the morning. At the state banquet, no matter how many government affairs there are, they will be dealt with before the end of the day. "
"Master will take care of the important affairs before retreating, and leave the remaining details to Jia Zhen and several ministers to take care of them together. Master will not take care of it."
"Besides, the trivial matters of the peacock fief are no longer as much as the state banquet, aren't they?"
The implication is that you deal with it until the third shift every day. What is the personnel arrangement for acting as an agent of government affairs in preparation for retreat?
Yuan Zhao was dumbfounded.He knocked on Xiaoqing again: How did Kong Zaijin know so clearly? !
[How do I know! 】No, Xiaoqing seems to really know what the task target is thinking about the Demon Lord, so naturally she will try her best to spy and understand! !
Yuan Zhao swallowed, looked at Kong Zaijin probingly, and sorted out his thoughts with Xiaoqing: He lives in Taoyuan Palace, if he is interested, it is not difficult to know my working hours.But, how did he know how I dealt with retreat affairs?
【...Guess? 】
Yuan Zhao was skeptical, thinking, what a coincidence, guessing right?
He and Kong Zaijin did not speak, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.
"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!" Kong Zaijin sneezed twice.
Yuan Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "When did you catch the wind and cold?"
Kong Zaijin stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, and said in a nasal voice, "Five days ago."
Five days ago, wasn't it the day he was stabbed by Jiu Lei?
That day when he stepped on the thick snow, he saw the little peacock kneeling straight on the ground through the open door.After he drove away the peacock, although he was surprised that there were water stains on the tea table, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Thinking about it this way, snow drifted into the house, and after the snow melted, the house and Kong Zaijin's robe were wet.And the silly peacock didn't close the door, just knelt like that, no wonder he caught a cold.
He never thought that monsters would get sick from mortals, especially monsters with ice attributes, who would actually catch wind and cold.Today is a long experience.He grabbed Kong Zaijin's wrist, took away the big arm that was in the way, channeled spiritual power, and dispelled Kong Zaijin's chill.
After finishing, Yuan Zhao withdrew his hand: "Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver some clothes to you. In five days, I will take you to discuss politics with the Peacock delegation."
"Can you, don't take that big piece away." Kong Zaijin panicked when he saw that he took the big piece away.
Yuan Zhao avoided his hand that was about to grab his sleeve: "You have new clothes, what do you want them for?"
Kong Zai looked down: "I..."
Yuan Zhao took out a very good ice shark bead and put it on the table: "This is good for ice talent practitioners." So, don't want that big one, but this bead.
Kong Zaijin put the round ice shark bead the size of half a fingernail in the palm of his hand, injected spiritual power, and the ice shark bead gave out a hazy light like frost.
This is a treasure born and grown in the extremely cold place. When it is formed, the cold air condenses like a shark's tears, so it is called ice shark pearl.
In an extremely cold place, with the right time and place, there is only one piece in a thousand years. It is extremely rare, and it is a treasure that ice talent practitioners dream of.
There are only two of them that have been collected by successive demon kings for many years.
This one is the best ice shark bead in his Treasure Pavilion.Moreover, this ice shark bead has a small hole that runs through the bead and is naturally formed, so it can be used as an ornament without grinding or damaging the bead, which is the most convenient.
Kong Zaijin discovered the mystery of the beads and smiled at Yuanzhao.
He found a slender red string, and his fingers were extremely white and delicate against the red string. After wearing it several times, he didn't pass the red string, and he was a little distressed, with his brows slightly condensed.
Yuan Zhao silently took the red string and beads from his hand. His hand holding the sword was very steady all the year round, and he finished wearing the beads after two tries.
Kong Zaijin took the beads from him and tried to tie them behind his neck, but the high ponytail would shake because of his small movements, and he had to restrain the hair and tie the rope, which was a bit hectic.
Yuan Zhao thought he was using it as an ornament on the sword tassel, but he didn't think it was for himself, so he was stunned for a while.
"Master?" Kong Zaijin held Xuefa with one hand and twirled the red rope with the other, calling him softly, "Can you help me?"
Yuan Zhao came back to his senses immediately, walked up behind Kong Zaijin, took the red rope from his fingertips, and tied a few knots very skillfully.
When the Demon Lord let go, Kong Zaijin just retracted his hand, and his fingers seemed to lightly caress the back of the Demon Lord's hand.
【…】Task object This is a foul!Seeing that the Demon Lord didn't care, Xiaoqing naturally wouldn't point it out, and raised the risk factor of the task object by a few stars.
Kong Zaijin turned around and smiled at Yuanzhao: "Thank you, Master."
Seeing that he was finally in a good mood, Yuan Zhao asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "I'm looking for me today, is there something wrong with my cultivation?"
"I can't control the direction of the demon power in the meridians."
Yuan Zhao flipped through the memories that Xiaoqing had passed on to him, and said, "Put on the bed and meditate."
"En." Kong Zaijin sat cross-legged on the bed as he said.
Yuan Zhao said, "Give me your hand."
Kong Zaijin handed over his hand, and when Yuan Zhao's hot palm wrapped around his wrist, his hand couldn't help shrinking, and Yuan Zhao shouted: "Don't move."
If you don't move, don't move.He secretly meowed at Yuanzhao, and seeing him staring intently at the place where their skin touched, his ears couldn't help burning.
Yuan Zhao guided the spiritual power to travel through the meridians of Kong Zaijin's body (don't ask him why he is so proficient, it's because the original owner and the peacock double cultivation in the previous life were imprinted in his memory).
He used to simply dispel the cold, but now he carefully nourishes and sorts out the demon power in his body.
When he walked to one place, he found a large amount of spiritual power accumulated there, blocking the meridians. Yuan Zhao calmly decomposed and unblocked them.After unblocking all the meridians in Kong Zaijin's body, he said, "Try again."
Kong Zaijin felt comfortable all over and tried to run. Although he was still stagnant in some places, under Yuan Zhao's guidance, he was able to complete a cycle. When he opened his eyes, there was rare joy in his eyes, although Yuan Zhao knew him better than himself. His meridian made him a little concerned.
Yuan Zhao let go of his hand, breathed, and really smelled the smell of medicine.Looking him up and down, a few probing gleams slid across the bottom of his eyes, and asked, "What have you been doing these days?"
"Study the exercises." There seemed to be warmth in the eyes between the bed curtains, so hot that Kong Zaijin couldn't help looking down at his palms.
"Very hardworking." Yuan Zhao's eyes darkened.He pretended to be a kind elder, and wanted to pat the junior on the shoulder, but for some reason, he raised his hand to touch the snowy hair that he wanted to touch a long time ago, and it was as smooth as satin.
[! !Monarch, what are you doing? ! 】
Yuan Zhao was taken aback: I don't know, it seems subconsciously...
Kong Zaijin was also stunned, his eyes widened slightly, and his heart skipped a beat!But the next moment, his clothes were pulled open, and the cold night passed through his chest, making him shiver.And on that clear body and arms, there were several patches of bruises.
Yuan Zhao glanced lightly to confirm that there was no serious trauma, and then put the ripped skirts together for Kong Zaijin, and was about to withdraw his hands when Kong Zaijin's cold hands held them.
He just grabbed his hand like that, bit his lip until it turned white, maybe he didn't know how to explain.
Yuan Zhao waited for a long time, saw that he just moved his lips and kept silent, and wanted to pull his hand back: "There are indeed many disciples of the Demon Palace in the back mountain. If you want to compete with others, you can just pay attention to proportion."
In fact, as long as he can complete the task, he doesn't care what Kong Zaijin does.But in order to "grow up the task target's physical and mental health, and win the Three Realms Aptitude Competition", he can only meddle in his own business.
"Master..." Kong Zaijin said, "He insulted my mother, I want...to defeat him."
Yuan Zhao didn't pull it out a few times, and didn't dare to increase his strength, fearing that his arm would be dislocated in a while, so he said, "That's right." Then can you let go?
Kong Zaijin gripped his hand tightly before letting him go.
After Yuan Zhao finished dealing with Kong Zaijin's affairs, he planned to go back to rest, but Kong Zaijin stopped him: "Master, is there something wrong with me?"
Yuan Zhao paused and said, "No."
"Then why do you always..." avoid me?Kong Zaijin gritted his teeth, and said another way: "You don't have time to teach me how to practice?"
Kong Zaijin's face was hidden in the tent, Yuan Zhao couldn't see clearly.He said: "As a teacher, I didn't do it well. I will spare an hour and a half to teach you in the future."
Xiaoqing always keeps him away from the task target, but he has to teach Kong Zaijin to practice.Only relying on Kong Zaijin himself, he won the first place in the aptitude competition, Xuan.
Moreover, Xiaoqing and the superior cannot be trusted.
Therefore, Yuanzhao decided to change his strategy.
The morning sun stirs the mellow aroma of milk, awakening the demon king who has been meditating instead of sleeping.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a white-haired peacock in a new suit sitting cross-legged across from him, holding warm tea in front of him, with a clear and crisp voice, like beads falling on a jade plate: "Master, drink tea."
Yuan Zhao didn't wake up, took the tea docilely, and gradually returned to his consciousness after drinking.He turned his eyes around the teacup in his hand and Kong Zaijin's appearance, and asked, "...how long have you been here?"
The little peacock took the empty teacup and handed over a warm facekerchief: "Not long."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhao wiped his face, his eyes were still sleepy, his eyelids were slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.
"No." Kong Zaijin stepped aside and asked him to get off the bed.
Yuan Zhao didn't realize that something was wrong, he tidied up his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, frowned suddenly, walked back to the bed, and asked, "Can you keep the meridians running with power at any time?"
Kong Zaijin didn't expect him to turn back, so he grabbed his sleeve in a bit of surprise and nodded.
"Answer me 'yes' or 'no', don't keep talking." Yuan Zhao pulled out his sleeve, pointed at his eyebrows, and stored the dynamic lightning control technique into his sea of consciousness, "Practice hard." After finishing speaking Then leave in a hurry.
Kong Zaijin raised his hand to touch the center of his eyebrows, but when he touched it, he was shocked like an electric shock, thinking: Master is really the strongest among thunder attribute cultivators, even a fingertip can discharge...
【Didn't you notice something was wrong? 】Xiaoqing saw clearly and couldn't help reminding him.
Yuan Zhao: "?"
【Task object!he!into your room!sat on your bed! !You have no reaction? ! 】Xiaoqing is very idiosyncratic.
Yuan Zhao finally woke up: "...Yes."
【What is it? !Do you remember the warning from your superiors? 】
Yuan Zhao seemed to be thinking about something, and casually replied to Xiaoqing: "I remember."
【…】Xiaoqing is dissatisfied, the demon king is clearly perfunctory.
Yuan Zhao pondered deeply, wondering: If someone stares directly at his cultivation, whether it is the original owner or me, he will immediately wake up from the cultivation, send that person a sword, and lie down for several months of CPU.But why, I can't always be wary of Kong Zaijin?
There are very few people who are not vigilant by the original owner and him. If you have to say it, the leader of Anbu is not one of them.He was not on guard against Buqing because Buqing, as the leader of the Anbu, had to form a blood contract with the current demon king, Yi Tianmo, and this blood contract would make Buqing never betray.
Moreover, the original owner and Buqing are good buddies who grew up together in private, and the relationship between the demon king and the leader of Anbu is extremely deep.
But Kong Zaijin, on the one hand, did not form a blood contract with him, and on the other hand, he has no relationship with him...Why can't I raise my guard against Kong Zaijin?
too weird.
Suddenly, an electric arc flashed in front of him...!He instantly remembered that day when Kong Zaijin was calling for thunder and lightning in the back mountain, it was truly a majestic scene.
Could it be because of... the Purple Lightning Pearl?
Following this guess, Yuan Zhao secretly reasoned by analogy: the demon clan was born to be close to the Xuanguangjian, so wouldn't it be the same for the purple electric beads that have the same origin as the Xuanguangjian?
Could it be because of the demonic blood in his body... instinctively getting close to the Purple Lightning Bead?So he can't take precautions against Kong Zaijin, who is almost in harmony with Zidianzhu? !
