82 The Eighth Shop
◎Taste of that piece of candy.◎
Zeyuan walked in without looking at Chi Jiumeng.
Lu Yao heard the voice and stood up with Mobao in his arms: "He's back. Where are they?"
Zeyuan looked confused: "Them?"
Lu Yao: "Wuling and Ji Zhuang."
Zeyuan said nothing, walked past Lu Yao, walked straight to the table and sat down, pouring himself some water.
Chi Jiumeng stood one step away and bowed slightly to Lu Yao, "The Demon King and Wuling have already left. What happened downstairs just now caused me to bump into you, so I came here to apologize." Lu
Yao, "Manager Chi, you are too polite. I'm fine. Don't mind me."
Chi Jiumeng smiled, "You are a good-tempered young lady. From what you said just now, it seems that you also know the Demon King and the great demon Wuling." Lu
Yao turned around, walked to the table, and picked up Mo Bao again, "We have met a few times, but we are not familiar with each other."
Chi Jiumeng was not at all shy. After apologizing, he let go of the past and sat down on the stool beside the table.
"I see you look unfamiliar, is this your first time in Neon City?"
Lu Yao: "Yes."
Chi Jiumeng saw that Lu Yao's smile was somewhat forced, and he was not someone who didn't understand romance, so he said: "Yesterday Zeyuan came to book this room, I didn't want to, but he insisted on booking it. Now there is something I need to tell you three."
Zeyuan sat next to him drinking water, his face was tense, and he was originally very imposing. As soon as
Chi Jiumeng finished speaking, Zeyuan coughed violently, and his blood-red eyes stole a glance at Lu Yao, as if he was burned, he raised his hand to cover his lips and turned away, leaving a part of his scarlet neck and red ears.
Lu Yao tilted his head to look at him, his eyes like water, then turned back to look at Chi Jiumeng: "What's the matter?"
Chi Jiumeng's smile was almost unbearable, this was really a thousand-year-old iron tree about to bloom, fun and funny.
She tried to hold back her smile and maintained a serious demeanor: "Recently, a mermaid came ashore and robbed mortals in the city. The day before yesterday, the old lady of the Xie Mansion was abducted and has not been found yet."
There are cultivators in Ni City, and ordinary small demons dare not do evil in the city.
Even if a demon accidentally enters the city, or a big demon like Chi Jiumeng does business in the city, they will not provoke mortals. If
a demon cultivator accidentally hurts a mortal, it will leave a cause and effect, and it will be difficult to pass the tribulation.
Big demons are particularly careful about their feathers and will not ruin their future.
Lu Yao: "What's the relationship between mermaids and this guest room?"
Chi Jiumeng: "I don't know if Zeyuan has told you that this guest room is always moving, so it's near the Sea of Tears at night and near the Bay of Ni in the morning. Mermaids appear near Ni City, so they can only come from the Sea of Tears. Recently, there have been incidents of mermaids kidnapping people. To ensure the safety of the guests, this guest room is no longer occupied."
This situation was also told to Zeyuan. It was the first time that Chi Jiumeng saw him so stubborn and insisted on booking it.
Chi Jiumeng originally thought that with Zeyuan's cultivation level, even if he was captured by a mermaid, it was not certain who would beat whom.
Who knew that this time he brought his little girl with him, and the other party happened to be a mortal with no cultivation.
Zeyuan was like a statue. If it weren't for his pointed ears that were red as blood, Lu Yao would have thought that this person drank some water and choked it up.
Lu Yao: "...We know, we will pay more attention. Thanks for the reminder."
This guest room is different from the usual ones. It is huge, with windows on three walls and a bed.
Zeyuan only booked this room, which is enough for three people.
Before Chi Jiumeng left, he said one more thing. This is not the first time that mermaids have kidnapped people.
About half a year ago, the young master of the Xie family was also kidnapped by a mermaid and never came back.
The young master Xie was named Xie Zili, sixteen years old, and originally practiced in the Lingxiao Sword Sect outside the city.
Half a year ago, on Mrs. Xie's birthday, Young Master Xie returned home to celebrate the birthday for his elders, but was abducted by a mermaid and his life or death is unknown.
The annoying Chi Jiumeng finally left. Ze Yuan had already thought of 81 ways for Chi Jiumeng to die, but he didn't dare to turn around and look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao thought he must need to digest his emotions, so he didn't bother him. He sat under the lamp and took out the things he bought from his Qiankun bag one by one.
The pills were cheap, so she went to several stalls and bought a bunch.
Two of them were pills that promote rapid healing of wounds. Cheng Ye might be able to use them after the operation.
She didn't buy the slimming pill, but she did buy the rejuvenating pill and the disguise pill, so Lu Yao bought one bottle of each.
Lu Yao also bought a stack of Qiankun bags that the clerk wanted.
Lu Yao also bought a few voice transmission jade talismans and photo-taking jade talismans.
The voice transmission jade talisman is as useful as a mobile phone, but it doesn't need to be connected to the Internet.
Lu Yao plans to put one in the Internet cafe as a fixed contact item. Sometimes when she is out and the phone is unavailable, the clerk can use the voice transmission jade talisman to contact her.
The remaining one is for Harold, not just one, because they are most likely to look for her under normal circumstances.
In an emergency, other people may not be able to find her even if they have the jade talisman.
Lu Yao also bought some talismans, which he didn't need for the time being, so he kept them in his portable warehouse.
Then came the black three-layer dressing box. The box was really beautiful when you looked closely. The surface was inlaid with pink mother-of-pearl and a large circle of pink mermaid pearls. There were also some colorful conchs and small shells on the top of the box. Maybe it was really the favorite of a mermaid. Zeyuan
couldn't help but turn his head and peek at what Lu Yao was doing. When he saw her take out the dressing box, he immediately turned back as if his tail was stepped on.
Mobao sat on Zeyuan's legs, tilted his head and looked at him, a little surprised: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Zeyuan: "..." Lu Yao
opened the box and saw the neatly arranged rouge of various colors. Thinking of his reaction at that time, his heart softened.
Even if he lost his memory, he was still the same as before, without any improvement.
In order to hide some of his thoughts, he was flustered and at a loss, but in the end he just looked at the beginning and didn't care about the end.
Lu Yao closed the box casually, put the things on the table into his portable storage, stood up and walked towards Ze Yuan, gently touching his shoulder.
Ze Yuan raised his head, his black hair was like algae, and his red eyes were as bright as morning stars, filled with grievances that he himself might not even be aware of.
Lu Yao: "This is my first time staying in an inn run by the demon clan, and it's a moving room. I've never seen one before. Can you show me around?"
Zeyuan stood up, put the magic treasure on the table, and led Lu Yao to the west of the room.
Mobao: "..."
Zeyuan stepped forward and pushed open the window on the west wall.
The night was dark, and the starry sky was within reach.
Maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was really a fairyland somewhere.
The stars were like stones, slowly flowing with the night.
Lu Yao leaned against the window sill, bent down, stretched out her hand to scoop up a handful of the night, and there were two golden stars in the palm of her hand.
She held it in front of Zeyuan: "Look, it's so beautiful."
Zeyuan stared at her beautiful smile, slowly raised his hand, pressed his chest, and his face was stunned. Lu
Yao saw that his face looked strange, "What's wrong?"
Ze Yuan shook his head, an idea suddenly came to him, he raised his hand and held her, walked to the next door, and pushed open the north window.
The north faced the wilderness, a lonely moon hung in the inky sky, the forest breeze blew on his face, bringing a faint scent of flowers.
Lu Yao leaned on the windowsill with both hands, two balls of fireflies fell on his fingertips, flickering.
"When I was a child, my mother and I lived in the countryside. In the summer, there were many fireflies in the grass by the river." Lu Yao looked back at Ze Yuan, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and when I see him, I think of many things from my childhood."
There is no such thing as a father in Lu Yao's memory, and her mother has been taking care of her since she was a child.
For a young single woman with a child, life must be very difficult and embarrassing.
But Lu Yao's mother was a gentle and strong woman, and there were no particularly tragic memories in Lu Yao's childhood.
Until his mother died unexpectedly, Lu Yao lost his last safe haven and gradually grew into what he is now.
Zeyuan looked at Lu Yao's dazed face and reached out to touch her gently.
There was a chill on her cheek, and Lu Yao came back to her senses and looked over in surprise: "What... are you doing?"
Zeyuan looked at his hand, also confused, and pulled her up to the next door and pushed open the last window.
The east window faces the sea of tears, and there is the rustling sound of waves when it is opened.
The sea of tears under the night is calm and mocking.
The moonlight was cast on the sea, the waves were sparkling, and the color was light purple.
Tiny spots of light danced and flickered, like a garden path with morning dew still on it.
Zeyuan instinctively looked at Luyao's expression.
If she was happy, he would feel at ease.
Luyao leaned on the windowsill, the mermaid's singing seemed to be close to his ears, mournful and lingering.
She turned her head and called him: "Listen, the mermaid's singing..."
Zeyuan lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on her face uncontrollably, he slowly leaned down, his heart beating wildly.
Closer, closer, you can taste the candy.
His instinct was clamoring like this.
[Author's words]
Instinct: the ability that humans and animals are born with and have without learning.
Zeyuan: Heartless and ruthless, but has instincts.
Mobao (scared face): ... I'm dying, I'm dying, Your Majesty is going to be useless!
