Chapter 201 [Alien-Zhao Xin] Lantern Festival
During the days that Murong Lian was guarding Mu Chidi, he had a rough idea of Murong Lian's identity - the prince of the Murong family in the demon world. The Murong family was the most prestigious and powerful noble family in the demon world. If there was no Demon Lord, the Murong family would be able to dominate the world, and the Gao and Jing families were subordinates of the Murong family.
Gao Wujiu, the man who frequently visited Murong Lian, was, to put it nicely, her playmate, and, to put it bluntly, a mere servant. A servant's duty to their master was natural, and when Murong Lian proposed cultivating the Way of Mercilessness, the Gao and Jing clans offered counsel, sending her various beauties, all in the name of helping her return to her demonic nature.
No one expected that so many beauties in the mansion were not as good as an ordinary mortal.
Gao and Jing have known about the existence of such a person these days. They are really curious about what kind of person he is who can make Murong Lian, a noble, fall in love with him.
Not only that, they also had other things to explain. How could they let a master ask Lu Ding to do something? This was wrong and inverted the order.
However, they wanted to see someone, but they couldn't. Murong Lian knew their intention and isolated everyone outside, preventing Mu Chi from contacting anyone from the outside world.
However, he discovered that Mu Chi would not contact him, but would contact the maids. He was furious and punished the maids so that they would not dare to approach Mu Chi. He also learned that Mu Chi was trying to bribe them, as if he was looking for something.
He looked at the picture, which seemed to be a mirror. He took it and found Mu Chi.
"What is this?" Murong Lian placed the picture in front of Mu Chi.
Little did he know that he had fallen into Mu Chi's trap.
After learning about Murong Lian's status, Mu Chi realized that asking him directly for help in the search might cause unnecessary trouble. He couldn't leave this mansion, and the people around him were all sent by Murong Lian. It was said to be for care, but it seemed more like surveillance.
"This is a mirror, a mirror that reflects the heart. Have you seen it?" Mu Chi explained. Seeing that Murong Lian didn't say anything, he continued, "This mirror is very important to me."
"If you want to find something, you can tell me directly and I will find it for you."
"good."
Murong Lian threw the drawings aside and walked forward to hold Mu Chi's waist.
"I've been feeding you these past few days, but why is there still no meat?" He leaned closer to Mu Chi, inhaling his scent, "Is it okay today?"
"No," Mu Chi pushed him away and said, "Your Highness, I have explained this many times. You can't ask again."
Mu Chi felt a vague sense of unease, a unease that came from Murong Lian. He just wanted to find the mirror as soon as possible, return to reality, and return to the Hidden Valley. He wanted to face Hua Jin, not Murong Lian.
Murong Lian finally let go of his hand and left. Every day after that, he came as usual, but he didn't ask that question again. He just stared at him straight in the eyes without saying anything.
Mu Chi would not talk to him either, the two of them would just stare at each other, or Murong Lian would sneak over when he was sleeping and sleep next to him, creating an atmosphere that they had just had a love affair. At this time, Mu Chi would sit up and slap him.
Murong Lian's style of doing things is too similar to Hua Jin's. Mu Chi can't get rid of her. He is trapped in this world, and now the people around him have been replaced. In his life, the only person he can see is Murong Lian. He feels lonely and wants to go out.
He told Murong Lian, and Murong Lian said a few words at first and then left. Later, he didn't answer, but just leaned against the door and watched Mu Chi playing the piano.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Neither the Jing nor the Gao family had ever seen Mu Chi in person. They only heard that Murong Lian had become increasingly obsessed with this novice's furnace and cauldron, visiting him every day and sitting in his yard for several hours before refusing to leave.
They were very troubled about this matter. Murong's mansion was heavily guarded and they could not break in by force.
Mu Chi also heard about this from Murong Lian, but he was not too moved. He kept staring at the palm of his hand. The light in his hand did not diminish at all and remained bright.
"Why are you always looking at your hands?" Murong Lian walked in, holding a food box. He put it on the table and placed the dishes one by one. "Eat."
It was quite amusing to say that a dignified demon noble, His Highness Murong, was actually serving tea and water to a furnace. Fortunately, Gao and Jing were unaware of this matter, otherwise, they would have arrested Mu Chi and tortured him severely once he left the mansion.
Mu Chi sat at the table, ate, and listened to Murong Lian talk.
"Haven't you always wanted to go out?" Murong Lian picked up some food for him. "It's the Lantern Festival in the human world. Let me go out and have some fun with you."
Mu Chi looked up at him.
"What about the heart mirror?"
"No news. No one has ever seen this mirror. Does it really exist?"
"It exists," Mu Chi said, "Send someone to look for it."
"good."
Arrived at Daicheng in the human world.
Then I heard the first watchman's drum and saw thousands of lamps lighting up.
On the banks of the moat, the ice wheel is reflected, and thousands of sparks drift along the water ripples, like a slowly flowing river in the sky.
Mu Chi watched helplessly like this, he looked up at the sky, it was no longer the scarlet color of the demon world, the bright moon was hanging high there, blending in with the lights.
"Do you like the human world?" Murong Lian questioned. He had already investigated Wen Hanshuang's background. The human world had treated him so badly, so why did he come here with such an expression? He had brought him here today to kill people and vent his hatred, not to have fun in the true sense of the word.
"like."
Murong Lian didn't say anything else. He took Mu Chi's hand and walked into the city. He bought him various pastries and finally sat down in an attic.
They were at the highest point in Daicheng, watching the bustling night.
Suddenly someone broke in, and Mu Chi's eyes widened immediately. The person who came was Zuo Qianqian who set up the Heart-Illuminating Array.
He stood up and Zuo Qianqian also looked at him.
"You are the ones occupying the place chosen by me?"
Zuo Qianqian at this time was very different from Mu Chi's impression. The Zuo Qianqian in his memory was mostly because of Wangyangchun Tower, and was dressed revealingly. But the person in front of him was wearing a scarlet round-necked arrow-sleeved suit, a dark blue short jacket, the hem of which was embroidered with a heart-lock pattern in silver thread, a leather belt around his waist, and a short sword more than a foot long. Three small silver bells hung on the scabbard, jingling with every step.
The light reflected on his face, which showed a mixture of youthful vigor and fierce murderous intent, like a sword that had just been unsheathed.
Mu Chi was stunned.
Zuo Qianqian - the person in his memory who always leaned on the railing of Wangyangchun Tower, with his clothes half-open and his eyes flirting with drunkenness - could not be compared with the young man who was now showing his talent.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Zuo Qianqian raised her eyebrows, her eyes swept over Murong Lian's hand clasped on Mu Chi's wrist, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, "So you're a big shot in the demon world. No wonder you dare to occupy my place."
Murong Lian did not move, but just tilted her head slightly, and a wisp of demonic energy overflowed from her fingertips.
The air suddenly grew cold, and two red lanterns under the eaves went out with a puff.
"Brother Murong, please show mercy." A steady voice suddenly came from behind Zuo Qianqian.
The noise attracted Murong Lian. If he had looked at Mu Chi, he would have seen tears in his eyes.
Mu Chi was very familiar with this voice; it belonged to his master, Lin Shiyi. However, Lin Shiyi's name at the moment was not Dongfang Liu.
Dongfang Liu slowly climbed up the Nanfeng Tower, wearing a moon-white gown with green willow patterns embroidered on the corners, illuminated by the lights.
Mu Chi's throat rolled, and he almost called out "Master", but he saw Dongfang Liu's warm eyes sweeping over him, as if he was looking at a stranger, or an old friend from another world.
"Dongfang Liu." Murong Lian said lightly.
Zuo Qianqian turned around and said, "Master, this is the place we booked first!"
Yes, this was the place they booked first, but this building had just been bought by Murong Lian, just because Mu Chi said he liked the human world, and he planned to live in the human world with Mu Chi for a long time.
"This building has been purchased by the king."
"Then you're really generous! Why don't you buy the whole city!"
Murong Lian looked at Mu Chi and found that there were tears in his eyes. His moist eyes, coupled with the reflection of the lights, were beautiful.
"Then I will buy the entire city."
Zuo Qianqian: "Master!"
"I'm willing to pay a high price to buy this building from you." Dongfang Liu said without noticing Mu Chi's gaze.
"Not for sale," Murong Lian's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Mu Chi, and Mu Chi looked at Dongfang Liu. "I'll refund you ten times the deposit, and then ask for a better deal."
"Ask for another higher place?" Zuo Qianqian's short sword tinkled and bounced out an inch, the sound of the bell rustling like ice shards. "Of the sixteen lantern viewing towers in Daicheng, only this one faces the Tianqu. If you tell me to retreat, I'll retreat."
Murong Lian didn't even raise her eyelids, but simply moved sideways to block Mu Chi and said calmly, "Then you can try it - see whether your sword is faster or my barrier will crush your dantian first."
The devil's aura was like a tide, causing the floor to creak. At the same time, a strange aura was emitted, resisting the devil's aura.
Mu Chi suddenly spoke, his voice not loud but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly: "Your Highness, let them stay."
Murong Lian tilted her head slightly, her eyes as dark as ink.
An indescribable feeling arose spontaneously. He didn't understand what it was, but he knew he was dissatisfied with Mu Chi's decision. Why should they stay? He had bought the building, so he was the owner. He had the final say on who got the position.
Murong Lian didn't turn around, but stared at Mu Chi, her voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "You want me to... give in?"
Mu Chi's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't look away. He suddenly remembered what Murong Lian had said just now. The building had been bought, and the owner had the final say on what happened to it. So he said, "No."
Those two short words cut Murong Lian's heart like a blunt knife. He suddenly smiled, but his smile was frighteningly cold. "Okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll grant your wish."
After saying that, he pulled Mu Chi away, leaving this shabby place to Dongfang Liu and Zuo Qianqian.
Zuo Qianqian sheathed his dagger. He was unhappy about this incident, and his mood for viewing the lanterns was completely gone. He said, "Master, I don't want this private room anymore. What was his attitude just now? This is clearly the room we reserved first. How unreasonable!"
