Chapter 543: Once in Sixty Years
Perhaps because she was used to seeing her pretending to be an old lady and calling her "old man" all the time, Si Linglong almost forgot that the lifespan of monsters is different from that of humans.
A hundred years is considered old for humans, but a hundred years is still just a child for demons.
If this is 朏朏's real voice now, the 朏朏 in front of us is still very young.
But maybe it's because Xixi herself has a calming constitution, or maybe it's because she has been an elder like an old lady for a long time, so there is always a hint of kindness and gentleness in her tone.
For example, when answering Xue Sha's questions, her eyes were still kind and she replied softly, "I will talk to you of course."
Xue Sha couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you talk to me?"
Not sure if it was Si Linglong's illusion, but she felt that when Xixi heard Xueshan's serious question, the hair on his face seemed to tremble, and his tone was somewhat restrained and gentle.
“Because I’m tired.”
I feel tired.
The little princess of the fox clan insisted on raising her. Xixi was used to not speaking easily when pretending to be a cat, so she was unable to react for a moment and did not expect that the other party had even given her a name on the spot.
Although she has always been kind, she couldn't help feeling upset when she heard a name like "Fei Fei" and subconsciously didn't want to pay attention to her.
Xueshan was puzzled when he heard her say that she was tired.
"Why are you tired? I always carry you when you go out."
She is tired.
Not only is there no one to hold me, but I also have to walk by myself. Oh.
Thinking that he was already a transformed master, he taught her, "Fei Fei, your body is too weak. You still need to practice more."
朏朏:……
Si Linglong: [Ancestor, please stop talking.]
Si Linglong was worried that Xue Shan might make Xiaoxiao depressed, so she quickly changed the subject and asked her,
"By the way, 朏朏, how come you are together with Xue Sha?"
朏朶 glanced at her, her eyes seemed somewhat helpless, but she still said in a good-tempered manner, "I was originally just going to look for Yuan Zun, and it was an accident that I came to the palace with Xue Sha."
Hearing 朏會 mention Yuan Zun, Si Linglong couldn't help but look at Helian Yue and asked subconsciously, "Do you know Master Yuan Zun?"
"I met him before when I was the old lady." Xixi said, "Because I had settled the cause and effect with Wu'an Marquis Mansion in advance, and I happened to sense his aura, so I thought about meeting him."
But I didn’t expect that once I went in, I would never be able to come out.
Although Xixi didn't say anything, Si Linglong somehow heard the helplessness and sadness in her words.
When she looked at Xue Sha again, there was a hint of blame in her almond-shaped eyes.
[He ate a person's spiritual frost and forcibly detained the person by his side. This kid really needs to be educated! ]
Si Linglong believed that it was her own overlord who had brought the retired old cadre to the palace, and she felt even more ashamed.
"Xue Sha is young and ignorant, so please forgive me for any rudeness I may have done. She was the one who was playing around with the pets. You have finally gained your freedom and can come and go as you please."
When Xue Shan heard her say that she was just joking, the little boy immediately looked dissatisfied. Just when she was about to speak, Si Linglong covered her mouth with her skilled hand to stop her from speaking. She stamped her feet in anxiety, but did not dare to resist.
朏朏 was somewhat surprised to see that Si Linglong, a human being, could easily "subdue" the little prince.
But in the end, he didn't ask much, just said, "Your Majesty, please worry. It was my wish that the young prince brought me into the palace. I would like to take this opportunity to ask Your Majesty and the Emperor to agree to let me stay in the palace."
Si Linglong was surprised to hear this and blurted out, "Why?"
Since the cause and effect have been resolved in advance, shouldn't you be able to go wherever you want?
As a result, not only does he have to stay in Yongjing, he also has to enter the palace?
Helian Yue obviously felt that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and asked her directly, "Why do you want to stay in the palace?"
It can't be that he is worried about Shen Rongrong? ?
Seeing the two's reaction, 朏朲 was not surprised. Its long tail swept through the air gracefully, the sound neither hurried nor slow.
"Your Majesty and Madam should remember that sixty years ago, I was given an opportunity by the Shen family. That opportunity was called Emperor's Flowing Mist. Mortals may have never heard of it, but for us monsters, Emperor's Flowing Mist is a treasure that only appears once every sixty years."
"Di Liujian..." Si Linglong said the name softly and couldn't help blinking.
[I'm familiar with this. ]
It is recorded in ancient times that on the night of Gengshen, there was a liquid emperor in the moonlight. Plants and trees on earth that absorbed its essence would turn into monsters, and foxes, ghosts and goblins that ate it would display their supernatural powers.
The Gengshen Night Moon refers to the moonlight on July 15th that appears once every sixty years. If we calculate based on the cause and effect between Xixi and the Shen family, the next time Emperor Liuxue appears should be on July 15th of next year.
"Do you want to absorb the Emperor's Fluid on July 15th next year to help you absorb spiritual energy and transform again?"
朏朏 seemed to have not expected that she not only knew Di Liuju, but also knew the time when Di Liuju appeared so clearly. She nodded and said in a soft voice.
"Each time the Imperial Serum appears, it flows to a specific direction. According to calculations, this year the most essential location for the Imperial Serum to flow is the Imperial Palace."
So even if she hadn't met Xue Sha, she had originally planned to stay in the palace for half a year after leaving Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
But the original plan was to do it quietly.
Now you can openly nest.
So she just tolerated the fatness for the time being.
Thinking of this, 朏朏 also reminded Helian Yue and Si Linglong considerately,
"The little mermaid just now should also be coming for Emperor Liuliu. And before July 15th next year, there may be other monsters gathering in Yongjing. Your Majesty can make some plans in advance."
Helian Yue's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
“…”
So, there are more than just the three in front of us, right?
