“Is this the reason why you have been able to hold on until now?”

Brett, sitting on a big rock on the river bank, looked up at the night sky, picked up a flat stone, adjusted his posture, and threw it into the stream.

Snap, snap, snap, snap... After jumping eight times, it sank into the river.

He skipped the ball a few more times, but each time he sank into the river.

Suddenly, he grasped the stone slab tightly, and it glowed white. He fiercely chopped it vertically into the river.

boom!

The stone pieces shining with white light fell into the river and exploded with a vast sword light. The river that was nearly 20 meters wide was suddenly cut in half, and the mud and sand on the riverbed were also blown up!

"I can't delay any longer. It's useless to delay any longer. Besides, the Fairy Palace, the World Tree... Alas." He sighed, "Love, love... Love has made me lose everything. Love makes people unwilling to become demons..."

Brett stood up and found that the snow had stopped, so he turned around and walked back to the camp. As soon as he got back, a watcher came to him and reported: "Breitt! The heads of investigations in other countries are in a meeting and are looking for you to come over."

The watcher said as he patted Bright's shoulder and brushed away the snowflakes.

"Okay, thanks, Onnet." Brett responded with a smile and walked towards the tent in the middle.

"It's so warm." As soon as Brett opened the curtain of the tent, a wave of heat hit his whole body. There was a smokeless charcoal stove in the tent, and four fourth-level monks were already inside.

"You were not on patrol at night and you were not in the camp. What were you doing?" You Jian, who was sitting on a chair with his hands in his pockets, glanced at Brett and asked first.

"Reflect on myself." Bright shrugged and said, "The operation to capture the demon king was not going smoothly. I wondered if I did something wrong, so I went to a quiet place to think. It seems that the people are not all here... Where is Kader?"

"Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil." You Jian glanced at the door curtain, and at this moment Kader just opened the curtain and came in. He brushed the snow off his shoulders and sat aside in silence.

Ursa was drinking the ignitable water of life again, Sakura Anzi was dozing off with her legs crossed and her chin propped up, Dai Ze was staring at his nose and saying nothing, and You Jian had no interest in welcoming Kader - he was willing to chat with Brett only because Brett was more capable.

Now that everyone had arrived, You Jian asked, "Why are you gathering everyone here so late at night?"

Sakura Anzi, who was dozing off, almost dropped her head on the table. She rubbed her eyes and waved to the red-armored samurai in the tent. The red-armored samurai immediately said, "Just 13 minutes ago, a male voice was heard in Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, and Tohoku. At the same time, the Watchers also received information that the same voice was heard in the southern, northeastern, and central-western regions of the Federation at the same time. The voice lasted about 6.12 seconds, and the language used was Xuanguo Mandarin, and the content was..."

"Alright, alright." Sakura Kyoko waved her hand and asked, "Did you all hear it? And did you understand what the voice said?"

No one shook their heads. It seemed that not only had everyone learned Xuan Guowen, but they were also quite proficient in it.

"So now let's discuss what that voice means, and whether you can find the Demon King from those words." Sakura Kyoko asked, "Also, is this related to the Demon King's ability."

"What do you mean? Isn't the meaning obvious?" You Jian felt puzzled and asked blankly, "Someone is expressing his love to the Demon King. There is no need to discuss this, right?"

Ursa slammed the table hard after drinking a glass of wine. This action represented that he was deliberately expressing his anger. If he was really angry, he would smash the table. Then he said, "Why let the sound spread throughout Fanying and the Federation?"

"Oh, this, I can explain it." You Jian said, "Some people get carried away with love and want to use a way that can attract other people's attention to prove their sincerity. The most common way is to confess in front of many people - now it is equivalent to hundreds of millions of people hearing the man confess to the Demon King, and the man's feelings should have been conveyed."

"But this way of confession is really superficial, just like a nouveau riche." You Jian shook his head, indicating that he did not approve of this approach.

Hearing You Jian's words, everyone in the room immediately focused their attention on him - do you think I haven't watched the live broadcast of "Destiny"? Who was the person who chased the messenger of disaster and called him his wife in the live broadcast watched by more than one billion people around the world?

Dai Ze asked, "But why does it only sound in the Federation and Fanying? It doesn't seem to sound in other places."

Bright thanked the Spirit Hall warrior who handed him the tea, then turned around and said, "That's because just half an hour ago, a source of trouble appeared in New York, the Federation."

"Fortunately, Mr. Ren Han from the Fairy Palace took action again, otherwise New York would have been severely affected this time." Brett said: "Captain Zach is not in New York at the moment, it will be too late when he returns..."

"So what does the source of chaos have to do with expressing love?" You Jian asked.

Brett restrained his smile, his face a little heavy, and said: "Maybe... this is a celebration."

"In order to show his love to the devil, the devil's accomplice released a source of chaos and destroyed a city as a gift..." Bright laughed bitterly: "This is a plot that has appeared in many entertainment works, but when I knew that my city became that gift, I felt very uncomfortable..."

The others also suddenly realized it. Sakura Anzi couldn't help but make the gesture of Xizi holding her heart, staring into the void, her eyes seemed a little yearning: "It's great..."

Noticing that others were looking at her, Sakura Kyoko coughed twice and said, "So... the Demon King is provoking us? Not only is she not afraid of our pursuit, she even wants to destroy the world and have a love affair at the same time?"

"It seems so." Brett said.

"Damn it!" Sakura Anzi gritted her teeth and said, "I was underestimated!"

Kader suddenly asked: "That ability to transmit sound over a large area..."

Bright looked at You Jian, who shook his head: "Xuan Country has mobile phones and loudspeakers. This kind of magic... at least she has no chance to learn it."

"That's probably the power of the Demon King." Bright said, "This spell might be used to inform the victims on a large scale who is destroying the world when it is wreaking havoc on the world, so that all their hatred can flow into the Demon King and become his power..."

Why!?

Everyone thought it made sense and nodded. Sakura Kyoko said seriously, "Then if the Demon King had said loudly that she was the source of the chaos..."

"According to the prediction of the Watcher, the Demon King will gain unimaginable hatred power because of this." Brett said: "Fortunately, she is not using it to harvest hatred this time, but to make her man express his love to her.

We still have a chance to make amends. We should control public opinion immediately, let everyone ignore that voice, and make a good announcement to tell the public that we are testing a new technology and the content is all movie plots.

In this way, if the devil wants to use this ability to transmit sound to deceive the world, or to frame others, the people will not believe her. "

"What a sinister demon king." Sakura Kyoko took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I will notify the government immediately and ask them to prepare."

Ursa, Daize, Kader and others also nodded and said they would tell the government. You Jian glanced at Bright and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he silently agreed to the suggestion.

"Then let's go back and have some rest. The devil will most likely continue to flee tomorrow. Stay alert and try to capture him tomorrow!" Brett encouraged everyone. After the meeting, he returned to his tent, got into his sleeping bag and prepared to sleep.

"Brett, do you want me to wake you up tomorrow morning?" A blonde female watcher lifted the tent curtain and asked softly.

"Thank you, Celis. Don't wake me up tomorrow. I might sleep very late." Brett smiled apologetically.

"That's right, you are very tired today, so have a good rest." Celis said considerately, gently lowered the door curtain and left.

Bright closed his eyes in his sleeping bag and whispered softly, "...How far has she tracked down...?"

"…Just leave her one bait."

…

…

November 27, 8:30 am.

When Ren Suo, who was lying on the haystack, woke up, he saw Qiao Muyi's eyes as soon as he opened his eyes.

She nestled in Ren Suo's arms, not knowing how long she had been awake. She looked at Ren Suo very obediently.

Ren Suo thought for a moment, took out a small box from his arms, and took out two small pills. He bit one and put the other into Qiao Muyi's mouth.

Qiao Muyi directly took his fingers into her mouth, licked them, and then bit the small pill. She raised an eyebrow at Ren Suo, as if she was avenging herself for being teased last night.

"Don't swallow it. Bite it into pieces, chew it for three minutes, then rinse your mouth and spit it out." Ren Suo instructed.

He knew that he would have to spend the night in the wild and it would be impossible for him to bring a toothbrush with him, so he brought a small box of solid toothpaste particles specifically for temporary oral cleaning.

They are monks who are also human beings, so it is impossible for them to be fragrant and clean all day long - at least the third-level monks can't do it.

When will the intranet develop the "cleaning technique"?

However, Ren Suo thought about it and felt that oral hygiene technique might be like creating a stream of water in the mouth to create a tsunami storm, so he felt that brushing his teeth by himself was more practical.

After washing up, Ren Suo couldn't wait to hug Qiao Muyi and give her a good morning kiss.

After their bodies were fully awakened through the blushing and heart-pounding sexual intercourse, Ren Suo asked softly, "Would you like to have breakfast?"

"fried chicken?"

Ren Suo nodded, squatted down and rummaged through the haystack, said "fried chicken meal", and then took out a fried chicken meal from it.

In ancient times, Ren Suo would have been more than qualified to be a charlatan with this ability alone. This was the third time Qiao Muyi saw him create something out of nothing, and she still found it incredible: "Is your awakening ability actually of the time and space type?"

"No, this is... an item I got by accident, and has nothing to do with my ability." Ren Suo shook his head and said, "It's similar to the mysterious item the Countermeasures Bureau got."

"The props in the bureau are not as useful as yours." Qiao Muyi asked while eating chicken steak, tilting his head, "You have magical props, know important people in the Fairy Palace, and have an intuition that is close to foreknowledge... How many secrets do you have?"

"There are many more." Ren Suo blinked his eyes: "You will spend your whole life to understand my secrets."

"Don't show off your lame love words in front of me." Qiao Muyi poked Ren Suo's forehead, and after eating a few pieces of chicken cutlets and chicken wings, he wiped his hands with a tissue, stood up, patted his butt, and said, "I'm full, let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Let's find the last clue, and then we'll go back." Qiao Muyi looked down at Ren Suo, raised the corner of his mouth, and said seriously: "Let's go back together, back to a peaceful and safe life. The two of us, go back safely."

Ren Suo pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Sir, you are just as dangerous as raising a flag when you say this at this time. Let me say something sarcastic: Once you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. Once you are in the martial arts world, you will inevitably get hurt. Everyone has to die since ancient times..."

"Alright, alright, let's go after we finish eating." Qiao Muyi interrupted him quickly, then sighed softly and said, "Although I said so, we are still a long way from our target. The joint investigation team must have closed the mountain for searching. If we walk over there, maybe..."

After finishing the last chicken leg, Ren Suo wiped his mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "Young Master, you are the protagonist to me."

"I've been with you through all the storms ahead. From now on, it will be a smooth journey." Ren Suo said in a relaxed tone: "You should be able to trust me now, right?"

"That's right." Qiao Muyi nodded and asked, "But why do you still call me Master?"

"Hmm? Ah, I'm used to it." Ren Suo blinked and asked, "How about... I call you Muyi? Xiaomu? Xiaoyi? Xiaoqiao?"

"No, just Young Master." Qiao Muyi shook her head and said, "Other names may be used by others to call me. But this name belongs to you alone, and only you can call me this name."

"Well, I like the exclusive limited edition." Ren Suo was quite satisfied, but he quickly reacted: "So what do you want to call me?"

"Of course it's Xiao Suo." Qiao Muyi said as a matter of course: "Will other people call you that?"

"Well... no." Ren Suo thought about it and realized that except Qiao Muyi, no one else called him like that - his parents just called him Suozi and Erza.

"Then I will take over your name! From now on, I am the only one who can call you that!" Qiao Muyi hooked her fingers and said with a smile, "Xiao Suo, let's go!"

Ren Suo went over, held her hand, and walked with her from the dark cave to the sunny mountains.

At this time, Ren Suo heard Qiao Muyi whisper: "Xiao Suo, I don't want to die, I want to live."

That confession was not wasted.

Qiao Muyi, who was wandering in confusion, making friends with despair, and waiting for death to come, was finally dragged out of the quagmire by him in that exaggerated but particularly effective way, and her hope was rekindled.

The anticipation that Ren Suo gave her for the future overwhelmed all her uneasiness and anxiety.

She was willing to die for Ren Suo before, and now she is willing to live for Ren Suo.

Ren Suo pinched Qiao Muyi's soft lips and said with a smile: "Is it enough to just be alive? I don't want that. Since I'm alive, I have to expect more and get more!"

He suddenly strode across the boundary between the cold cave and the outside world, stepped into the sun-bathed world, turned around and extended his hand to Qiao Muyi, inviting her: "I want to live and play with you until we grow old, what about you?"

Qiao Muyi did not hesitate, walked out of the cave, held his hand, and said with a mischievous smile:

"+1."
