It was raining heavily and the wind was blowing strongly.
Long Xi sat on a chair against the light, with an indifferent expression and drooping eyelashes.
His lips were completely bloodless, and the only bright thing about him was the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye.
Chi Sui went downstairs quietly. She felt that something was wrong with Long Xi's condition. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Are you sober?"
Her voice was not loud, but it stood out on this rainy night.
The Demon King's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he took his hands out of his pockets without knowing when.
Chi Sui's heartstrings tightened, and he quickly denied it: "I didn't touch your golden beads!"
I don’t know if it was Chi Sui’s illusion, but I always felt that after he said this, the sound of rain became quieter, and the cinnabar mole at the corner of the Demon King’s eye didn’t seem so bright anymore.
Long Xi raised his eyes, and looked at Chi Sui quietly with his almond-shaped eyes. He nodded: "I know."
"ah?"
Chi Sui was puzzled.
"The weight hasn't decreased."
Long Xi said lightly.
Chi Sui breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
Long Xi looked away, looked at the drizzling rain outside, and pursed his lips: "I don't want to sleep."
Chi Sui: ………… “Then please do as you please. I’m going back to sleep.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked upstairs.
If it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rainstorm and the ferocious wind, she wouldn't have come down to see if her little swing was going to be broken.
Long Xi looked at Chi Sui's leaving back, his eyelashes drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.
The rain got heavier again.
The wind was howling, and the flowers and plants outside the castle were blown down.
Chi Sui paused, sighed slightly, turned around and waved at Long Xi: "Would you like a glass of Zhizhi Grape and a serving of Kenji Chicken?"
Long Xi raised his drooping eyelashes, his gaze and expression remained indifferent, but the sound of rain became quieter: "Add ice."
Chi Sui smiled and nodded: "Yes, add ice."
Long Xi slowly followed the Baroness upstairs and into Chi Sui's bedroom.
Chi Sui opened the curtains, and the ice-blue floor-to-ceiling windows provided a wide view. He took out some iced grapes and Kenji Chicken and placed them on the table.
Long Xi pulled out the chair and raised an eyebrow in disdain when he saw the pink cushion on it.
After taking away the cushion, he sat down and started eating and drinking.
The rain stopped completely in the middle of the night.
Chi Sui was lying on the soft big bed, and when he was illuminated by the rising warm sun, he finally woke up from his dream of being an 18-year-old male model in a nightclub.
After washing up and going downstairs, the first floor had already been cleaned by Mary and Ellie.
The Demon King was leaning on the sofa with a little golden dragon coiled in his arms, looking lazy and casual.
When Chi Sui approached, the Demon King said, "I am in a good mood and can help you with a small favor."
Chi Sui rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Okay, then you can help me with the plan and select forty knights from the seventy to transport the goods."
Long Xi frowned: "I'm not good at judging people."
Chi Sui blinked.
After a long while, the Demon King slowly said, "But I'm good at divination."
An hour later.
In the knight training ground, seventy knights stood in neat rows, each one looking energetic and radiant.
Nonsense, a monthly salary of one gold coin, plus sick allowance, festival allowance, etc., who wouldn’t be happy?
Under the scorching gazes of the knights, the Baroness came over with her lover.
They saw the baroness smiling brightly at the man, and she waved her hand: "Begin!"
Then the lover raised his eyes lazily and slowly.
His gaze lingered on each person's forehead.
The Demon King counted with his fingers in his wide sleeves, and soon picked out more than thirty people.
Chi Sui smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. Don’t say it, although the Demon King is a little greedy for money, he is omnipotent!
He can not only install and design pumping systems and sewer pipes, but he is also a carpenter with pretty good carving skills. Look at him now, he can also tell fortunes.
Long Xi raised his eyebrows when his eyes swept across Min Min's forehead. He paused in front of Min Min, and then looked at what the person in front of him looked like.
After memorizing Minmin's appearance, the Demon King began to look at the next one.
Vivian blushed when Long Xi looked at her, and her heart beat faster and faster. She stared at Long Xi's face, as if she was bewitched.
Long Xi looked at Vivian's forehead and frowned, but didn't say anything. He just quickly looked at the next one.
When Vivian saw Long Xi leave, she felt a strange sense of loss in her heart, but she felt a little uneasy when she thought about the other party staying in front of her.
After looking at everyone, Long Xi only picked out 38 people.
Signaling everyone to wait where they were, Chi Sui took Long Xi to the pavilion.
"Only 38 people were picked out?"
Chi Sui couldn't help but wonder how this person made his choice.
Long Xi seemed to understand the curiosity in Chi Sui's eyes and said, "So-called divination cannot determine a person's character."
"I just picked someone who would be helpful or harmless in escorting your things."
Chi Sui understood: "What about Minmin and Weiwei'an? I think you seem to have figured something out."
Long Xi pointed at Min Min and said, "She is a versatile talent. You can keep her by your side or send her out to deliver things."
Then he pointed at Vivian: "And she."
"It's not good to stay around. It's best to stay away."
Chi Sui raised an eyebrow: "When you say stay away, do you mean to escort something?"
Long Xi shrugged: "She is not harmful to the transportation of goods, but she is not beneficial either."
Chi Sui rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "What if we send both of them out? That would make forty people."
Long Xi suddenly smiled, and the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye was extremely eye-catching: "That's the problem. Putting the two of them together will cause endless trouble."
