Chapter 48
"I don't know why, but I always have a strong sense of déjà vu." Mo Xuanji looked at the image of the Demon King in the comic and fell into deep thought.
"Hmm?" the system asked.
"It's okay, it's probably an illusion." The information given in the comics nowadays is really too little. Apart from the fact that the clothes are dark with gold patterns and the gender is male, no other useful information is revealed.
But who the Demon King was actually had nothing to do with Mo Xuanji. As an ordinary student, he should not have come into contact with such a person. Even if he was lucky enough to meet him, whether he knew the other party's identity or not, it didn't seem to have much impact... right? Deep in his mind, Yu Heng's identity card silently protested.
"Forget it, it's better to waste information for free." Mo Xuanji said as he took out the small notebook he used to record clues and wrote down the two pieces of information.
The comics continued to turn. Zhu Changan and Ji Sheng finally squeezed into the cafeteria. After almost having a leaf squeezed off, Ji Sheng, with tears in his eyes, took the initiative to shrink himself and hid in Zhu Changan's hood.
"Wuwuwu, Demon King, we are in danger of not seeing the sun tomorrow."
Zhu Changan was holding two portions of food in his hands, looking around. When he saw something, his eyes lit up: "It's Xuanji and Senior Wang!"
[Hahaha, poor little flower, I instantly feel pity for her]
[Wuwuwu, I met my wife again, so nice, this time my wife will always wear this outfit, right?] [Crazy hint]
【Crazy screenshot.jpg】
[I feel like Xiaohua's way of eating is a bit brutal, she doesn't look like a vegetarian]
After a good meal, Wilde hooked his arm around Mo Xuanji's shoulders and said stealthily, "Junior, don't forget this... that."
"good."
After getting the answer, Wilde left with peace of mind. Zhu Changan came over curiously: "Xuanji, what's this and that?"
"Nothing." Mo Xuanji held the water cup and quickly looked away.
【What is this and what is that? Is there anything that we, the audience, cannot listen to?】【Angry.jpg】
[You two have made some secret deal behind our backs, tell us the truth! ]
[Hehe, it turns out my wife is so cute when she lies. ]
“…”
After dinner, the three of them went to the club area to play. The comic linked together every scene of the play, and netizens also felt the happy and warm atmosphere between the three of them.
After a whole afternoon of hard work, the three returned home with a full load. Zhu Changan was carrying a big white goose doll that was taller than him, with a face full of happiness.
Ji Sheng, in plant form, used vines to wrap around a delicate ceramic flowerpot, with a few pink flowers floating around him, representing his mood. Zhu Changan once asked him why he only aimed at the flowerpot when throwing the ring.
Ji Sheng said: The way the Plant Tribe eats is different from other tribes. Before the nutrients are completely consumed, the spiritual soil in the flower pot will not be easily replaced. However, the taste of the spiritual soil will deteriorate after eating too many times, and it is a pity to throw it away, so they can only prepare new pots and put new soil. Over time, the demand for flower pots will increase.
"And don't you think this basin is super pretty and exquisite?"
"Very exquisite. But isn't the soil in the old flowerpot still there and not eaten?" Zhu Changan discovered the blind spot.
"It doesn't matter. They won't go bad anyway." Ji Sheng's confidence suddenly weakened. "When my living expenses are gone at the end of the month, they will be my reserve food for survival... I can eat them up anyway."
[There are many interesting mini-games, but why is there such a weird thing as a photo album of the dean of education, and it is in the old-school Marie Sue style! ]
[Some people are laughing, some are looking in the mirror. As a person who lives on surplus food and wants to spend every penny in half, I silently shed tears.]
[Although Ji Sheng is true, he eats dirt]
[I’m only here to surf the Internet, not to look in the mirror. Please take down my camera.]
[I feel so sorry for Xiaohua. It’s the end of the month and she can only eat old soil, unlike me who can drink fresh northwest wind][Tired.jpg]
When the street lights were all on, the fireworks show officially began. The gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Zhu Changan looked up at the sky, his eyes full of sparkling little stars.
Mo Xuanji, who was standing by, showed a relaxed expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Sunflower had no facial features on his big face, so Liuhe thoughtfully drew a happy mouth shape for him and gave him two red cheeks as a gift.
"It's so beautiful..." The camera cuts to the night sky, and behind the bubble frame are fireworks of various shapes. One of the fireworks looks like a certain bird, with a slender tail feather, which is very beautiful.
"Look, that firework is still in the shape of a dragon!" Zhu Changan's dialogue box popped in, and the camera turned to another place in the direction of his finger. Unfortunately, the lifespan of fireworks is only a few seconds. When others saw it, most of the fireworks had disappeared, leaving only a vague golden shadow.
"Ah, it disappeared." Zhu Changan took his hand back with some regret. He suddenly remembered that a kind senior schoolmate had told him that the fireworks show was to remind everyone that the anniversary party was about to begin, so he quickly pulled his friends together. But after walking a few steps, he found that something was wrong with his friends.
"Xuanji?"
Mo Xuanji's face was pale, staring blankly at the direction where the fireworks disappeared. For the first time, there was no bright light in his eyes.
[My wife who smiles unconsciously is really beautiful and smells so good! ]
[Hey, why is my screen dirty? Lick it again. By the way, the old thief's painting skills are getting better and better.]
[The little chicken feathers are so cute, my heart is melting]
[Hiss, my wife Xuanji's expression is not right. Where is Gao Guang? Where did Gao Guang go? ]
【I smell the scent of a knife.】
【Don’t dare to speak】
"I'm fine." Mo Xuanji came back to his senses under the worried gazes of his companions. Fortunately, Liuhe did not draw his mental activities, but only added a bubble frame with "..." next to it.
"Maybe I'm too tired today. Let's go to the playground."
Zhu Changan's brain was working rapidly. It was known that Xuanji felt something was wrong because she saw the fireworks, and the fireworks were in the shape of a dragon. Xuanji's true form was an unknown bird, so...
Zhu Changan's inner villain knocked on the blackboard and put on the same glasses as Conan.
There is only one truth! That is - dragons are very likely the natural enemy of Xuanji's race!
Although the demons no longer fight each other under the control of the Demon King, they still fought each other to the point of bloodshed in the past. The fear of natural enemies in their genes is not something that can be easily eliminated.
Zhu Changan felt that this was most likely a reason. He knew that his friend was very concerned about his reputation, so he patted Mo Xuanji's shoulder affectionately and pretended not to notice it.
"You've completely misunderstood." Mo Xuanji spoke silently outside the screen. However, after this incident, he was also a little curious: "System, do I have a natural enemy?"
"How can a child have a natural enemy?" the system muttered. After a while, it added: "We are not even sure what species you are, how can we know what a natural enemy is?"
"Doesn't the knowledgeable system teacher know my type?"
The system was very pleased with the compliment. It pretended to be proud and pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, I'm just a system. The world is so vast that there are always things that the system cannot collect."
"That's true." Mo Xuanji clicked on the next page.
The three of them sat in a row in the back corner, feeling inexplicably well-behaved.
"Will Liuxue not come out at night?"
"She said she wanted to go into seclusion." Zhu Changan stroked his hair: "Maybe she was provoked by that SS... To be honest, I also plan to go into seclusion after the anniversary celebration is over."
The world outside is too dangerous. All fears come from insufficient firepower. As long as you have strong strength, you don't have to be afraid of SS or black-robed people.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Mo Xuanji suddenly noticed something, stood up and said he wanted to leave.
After a while, as if a little worried, he turned his head to look at Zhu Changan, but this angle seemed like he was looking outside the camera.
"You'll be able to see me soon."
[Ahhh, I get it. My wife can’t bear to leave me. She said she’ll let me see her soon~]
[Hahaha, the three kids are sitting in a row, so good]
[Sister Shen, do you mean you won't be on stage? Shen pushes tears.jpg]
Mo Xuanji already had an idea of what was going to happen next. He didn't know if it was because the stimulation was too great or because the psychological training he had done during that time had taken effect, but at this moment he felt surprisingly calm and even wanted to laugh.
Who is on the stage? It has nothing to do with me. I am just an indifferent spectator.
Offstage, Zhu Changan watched Mo Xuanji leave, and his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Wilde's fleeting figure.
The next frame, the thick curtain on the stage fell. When it was opened again, a figure that everyone was very familiar with appeared under the spotlight.
[Ah! It’s my wife! ]
[Did my wife kiss the rose? No, she kissed my heart! ]
【On the scene, I am the rose! 】
[Xuanji's wife can actually perform magic? But it doesn't look right. I suggest you come to my room tonight so I can help you analyze it...]
[The abacus upstairs is so loud that I can hear it in the Far North! ]
[I heard it clearly in the Mariana Trench! ]
[It's a miracle! Teacher Wang is still so energetic, and the fans are delighted! ]
[Honey, honey, is this all you have? It’s too little, give me some more.]
If it gets any worse, he might faint on the spot, Mo Xuanji thought silently.
The system seemed to be infected by the comments section, and it was also licking the non-existent screen in the sea of consciousness: "Wow wow wow my baby is so handsome! Daddy feels so accomplished, I really want to take a screenshot and share it... Hey hey hey baby, don't draw so fast, I haven't seen enough."
"I won't show it to you." Mo Xuanji had a wooden face and ruthlessly moved to the next page amid the system's accusations.
Ji Sheng watched the performance on the stage, muttering to himself, "I guess we must have been hallucinating just now. I actually mistook Senior Wang in black for Xuan Ji... How could Xuan Ji have that kind of expression?"
Zhu Changan, who was recording a video, noticed that there was another person beside him. He raised his head and said excitedly: "Xuanji, your performance just now was really cool. I recorded it for you and will send it to you later!"
"Well, thank you." Mo Xuanji sat down expressionlessly, and quietly rolled himself up with his cloak in the puzzled and shocked eyes of his friends. As if it was not enough, he pushed the brim of his hat down again.
I don’t know if the last test made Liuhe unhappy, but this time he drew everything that should and shouldn’t be drawn.
Don’t be fooled by some cool guys who look expressionless and cold, because actually the villain in their heart is already going crazy.
In the dark corner, Mo Xuanji's eyes seemed to have turned into a display screen, constantly flashing various shameful literature.
"Xuanji, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's a bit cold."
Having said that, Liuhe was very considerate and drew a thermometer on the side. Although the nights in early October are not particularly hot, they are definitely not cool at all.
Ji Sheng, who was standing by, perfectly reproduced the thinking process emoji package. After experiencing "starting to think", "thinking successfully" and "drawing a conclusion", he slapped his head suddenly: "Oh! I know, Xuanji is just like me, she is also socially anxious!"
"It's not that I don't have it!" Mo Xuanji raised his head suddenly.
Zhu Changan, who was standing by, scratched his head and smiled naively: "Xuan Ji is definitely not a social phobic. It must be because of the weather."
Just when Mo Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Changan asked seriously: "So you want to eat ice cream?"
[It turns out that the little golden retriever is a black-hearted person]
[Xuan Ji: The light in the eyes is gone]
[Come to think of it, my wife is so lively inside, so cute, hug her and kiss her hard]
Netizens even captured all kinds of freshly-made emoticons and combined them with various texts to create a very funny effect.
It was too early to brag. It turned out that he still felt ashamed. Mo Xuanji closed his eyes calmly, lay down, and put his hands together in front of his chest.
After a while he quickly got up again: "No, this posture is unlucky."
He paused, with a strange expression on his face: "Why has the popularity increased so much after this update, even here at Yuheng?"
System: "I don't know, maybe the netizens are satisfied with the plot this time?"
Unable to figure it out, Mo Xuanji simply stopped thinking about it. After all, it was not a bad thing, and Liuhe would not cheat him.
After knowing Liuhe's identity and position, Mo Xuanji realized that Liuhe had opened a huge backdoor for him. Not to mention his popularity, all kinds of information clues in the comics were chasing him, for fear that he would miss them.
The system sometimes jokes that Liuhe really dotes on him.
After all, it's a relationship of coexistence and death, Mo Xuanji thought silently.
Unbeknownst to him, Liuhe issued an announcement.
【Liuhe Studio:
Thanks to readers for their support. The first round of popularity voting has ended. The top three characters are now announced. The following are the character illustrations.
[Mo Xuanji: New Life]
This card features a longevity lock as the main element, and the color tone is cool. The boy in black clothes crosses his fingers in front of his chest, his eyes slightly closed, as if he is making a wish. The background behind him is a flying bird totem with its wings spread out, pure white feathers scattered, and the links between the locks are like chains that lock him tightly in.
【Wish Changan: Chaoyang】
In the picture, Zhu Changan is wearing his favorite yellow clothes, running towards the camera with a smile as bright as the sun. Behind him are mountains and rivers, which vaguely echo his supernatural attributes. The whole card is in warm tones, giving people a positive feeling.
[Yuheng: Yesterday]
Yuheng's clothes are very similar to those he wore when he first appeared, but they are more refined. He has a touch of crimson eyeshadow at the end of his eyes. The background of the card is in an antique study room. Yuheng sits quietly on a chair with a bamboo scroll in his hand. There is smoke around him, and the entire card is dominated by green. The red bird on his shoulder plays a perfect role as a embellishment, making the color tone not too cold and not stealing too much attention.
At this time, the comments section was filled with the same words.
【Thank you, godfather】
【Thank you, godfather! 】
【Thank you, godfather!!!】
【……】
[Old thief... no, godfather! He really made me cry. I thought he just took a picture from the comics as a character, but I didn't expect him to redraw it directly, and it's so beautiful! ]
[I second your opinion! I'm afraid that this was not drawn according to the standard of the SSR card in the card drawing game! ]
[From now on, I will treat this old thief, no, my stepfather, as my guest of honor]
【Take a sip of my wives’ gorgeous faces! Scream! 】
[Ahhhhhh! The single volume is now available, brothers and sisters, come on! 】
"For my wife!" Fang Ying and Lin Xuan shouted in unison in the room, and then placed the order in sync and with passion.
Lin Xuan is now a die-hard fan of Yuheng. She doesn't know why she suddenly accepted her friend's recommendation. She fell in love with Yuheng the first time she saw him. From then on, she was directly addicted to him. She even passionately created a short comic and drew her own OC and Yuheng in it.
She originally thought that she would be criticized and was worried for several days, but unexpectedly everyone praised her for her good drawing and the great plot. This gave Lin Xuan great confidence, and she began to create passionately and became a big fan in the circle.
"I got it! Unfortunately, there's only one set!" Fang Ying silently shed tears while looking at her phone. "I'll go to the bookstore in two days to see if they have any more."
Lin Xuan was a little confused. She didn't usually eat much, so she couldn't understand Fang Ying's pain: "Isn't this already stolen? Why do you still want to buy it?"
"Wuwuwu, you don't understand. What can one set do? One set has nothing. The ideal situation is to stock up seven or eight sets, one for review, one for appreciation, and the rest for collection!"
"Good, good fellow!"
Mo Xuanji was unaware of the netizens' happiness and sadness. He sneezed for several days in a row, until today he finally couldn't help but complain: "Who keeps nagging me, endlessly."
"Have you caught a cold?" Zhu Changan said as he handed him a bottle of water.
"Thank you." Mo Xuanji took the water and drank it all without thinking any more.
"Hey, you guys over there, come over and run laps after you've rested. Don't be lazy!" The physical education teacher blew the whistle in the distance.
"Let's go, let's finish the rest first."
