Chapter 94
==================
Ning Shen suspected that he was hallucinating.
How did he hear Xie Tingyun's voice?
However, the next moment, Ning Chen suddenly turned over.
Ning Shen lowered his head and saw the silver-white figure behind Agui.
Xie Tingyun seemed to be dressed very formally today. His silver-white clothes were embroidered with cloud-like crane patterns. The outer garment was pale white overall, with only the hem showing a gradient ink-colored landscape.
Snow-white clothes were piled up in layers, with silver boots faintly visible between them.
She wore a high silver crown with a light blue gem in the middle, and thin silver chains hung from her hair, making tiny sounds like silver bells as she walked. Xie Tingyun had a good appearance, and stood straight. He looked cool and aloof whenever he looked up or down.
This outfit seemed to be made just for him, and it really gave him a sense of aloofness and aloofness.
Very pleasing to the eyes.
Ning Chen couldn't help but look a few more times.
According to common sense, Ning Chen should have noticed the presence of a stranger at such a close distance.
However, the fireworks were exploding at that moment, and the huge noise covered up the sounds of footsteps and the clashing of silver chains.
“…”
Ning Chen lowered his head and looked at Xie Tingyun for a moment, then looked away uncomfortably. The first thing he said was, "You showed up so quietly, which makes me lose face."
"It's okay if I lose face." Xie Tingyun said naturally.
In his hand was still the remnant of the bamboo tube left after the fireworks exploded. Xie Tingyun threw the remaining garbage into the storage ring, took out a new one, and then hit Ning Chen from above.
With a bang, brilliant fireworks exploded in front of Ning Chen's eyes, illuminating for a moment those always sharp dark red eyes.
“…”
A Kui was very perceptive. He saw that the atmosphere between his master and the Holy Son was very subtle. They might have had a quarrel or something. So he stuffed the wooden basket in Xie Tingyun's hand and said, "Master Holy Son, these are the delicious food and fruit wine presented to you by the Canaan tribe. The master said he couldn't bear to eat them and wanted to leave them for you to taste."
Ning Chen: "??? Agui you..."
Although I guessed to some extent that Ning Shen wanted Xie Tingyun to have a taste, but who told you to say it like that?!
Xie Tingyun glanced at him and said to A Kui, "Okay, I understand."
Agui then struck while the iron was hot and said, "The Canaan tribe strongly hopes that Your Majesty can go to their sacrifice to join in the fun, but Your Majesty is only willing to lie on the roof and watch the fireworks alone. Your Majesty, look..."
Xie Tingyun nodded naturally and said, "Let me do it."
A Kui said: "Thank you, Master Saint!"
Ning Chen: “?!”
Ning Chen raised his hand, broke off a piece of glazed tile and threw it at Agui's feet, but Agui probably knew that the Lord would be angry, so he ran away after saying that. Ning Chen didn't put much effort into it, so naturally he didn't hit him.
Xie Tingyun looked down at the broken tiles on the ground, and with a surge of his spiritual power he rolled up the debris.
I don’t know what Xie Tingyun did, but when Ning Chen looked again, the glazed tile had been restored to its original state.
Xie Tingyun tiptoed onto the roof. He placed the basket that Agui had stuffed into his hand beside Ning Chen without hesitation, then brushed his snow-white skirt and sat down beside Ning Chen.
“…”
Ning Chen's Adam's apple slid up and down for a moment, and the long sword was quietly pressed under the palm of his hand, ready for emergency use.
Xie Tingyun knew what he was up to after just one glance, so he said, "If you want to fight, I'll be there for you after midnight."
Ning Chen looked up at the sky and the earth but didn't look at Xie Tingyun. At this moment, he finally felt a little surprised: "Aren't you here to seek revenge on me?"
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun said helplessly: "No."
Ning Chen uttered an "oh" and said unnaturally, "Then what are you doing here?"
Ning Chen smelled a faint scent of alcohol on Xie Tingyun, and since he was dressed more formally than usual, he probably had just come out of some formal scene.
This is normal. The human race is celebrating the festival, and Xie Tingyun must be among them.
As expected, Xie Tingyun said, "I skipped the sect's dinner party."
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, then said softly, "Come to see you."
“…”
Ning Chen felt as if his heart was gently tickled by a kitten's claws.
That slightly strange itchy feeling lingered in her heart. Ning calmed down for a while, and suddenly she felt that Xie Tingyun was really hateful.
He could actually say such words so easily and naturally, and his pronunciation and expression while speaking were both extremely serious.
I hope someone will really take it seriously.
Xie Tingyun said: "But when I came, you just wanted to fight with me."
Ning Chen: “…………”
Ning Chen's defense was somewhat forced: "...Who told you to say you hate me? How can you blame me for this?"
Xie Tingyun was silent.
His throat rolled and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he swallowed back the words that slipped to the tip of his tongue.
Xie Tingyun didn't know how to start talking for a moment.
There was no need to confess anyway. Ning Shen, who was so slow-witted, would not realize that he was the lonely child who had briefly appeared in his life.
Let the past go with the wind, it’s good for everyone.
Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and opened the wooden basket that Agui had stuffed into his mouth. He took a look and thought it was a bit fresh. He said, "Want to eat something?"
"...I've eaten it." Ning Chen said, "Do you really think what A Kui said is true? Why haven't I seen you so easily deceived before?"
Xie Tingyun laughed: "I know. Can't I just let myself be sentimental for a while? When Agui said you wanted to keep it for me, I really took it seriously."
Ning Chen: “…”
It’s over. How come Xie Tingyun has become a different person after his serious illness?
The key is that he really can't cope with it.
Very annoying and hateful!
Ning Chen tried to convince himself not to care, but after a moment, Ning Chen still compromised with himself.
Ning Chen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I wanted to leave it for you. But aren't you a human? The fish inside is full of demonic energy. Can you eat it?"
Xie Tingyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that what Agui said were just polite words that Agui secretly said to bring them together, but he never thought that Ning Chen really wanted to share the delicious food with him when he ate it.
Ning Chen is a person who is used to hiding his injuries, but he will never lie when it comes to expressing his true feelings.
He is such a proud person that he would never open his mouth unless he thought about it seriously.
This was a pleasant surprise for Xie Tingyun.
Xie Tingyun's eyes softened as he said, "Yeah. It's okay to eat something."
He is already a Mahayana, so eating food containing demonic energy will not really kill him. At most, it would be a little irritating like Ning Chen eating spiritual energy.
However, although the demonic energy contained in the food is everywhere, the content is very small. Before eating, you can wrap it with spiritual power to offset the demonic energy and then put it in your mouth. This way, it will not damage the taste of the food itself.
Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen and said, "Would you like to eat a little more?"
Ning Shen refused.
The two of them ate all the food in the basket bit by bit. Then Xie Tingyun noticed that there was fruit wine in the basket, so he took out a pair of white porcelain cups and filled them up.
Xie Tingyun handed a glass over and said, "Take a sip? This kind of fruit wine doesn't smell like alcohol, but it has a strong fruit flavor. If you don't like alcohol, you should be able to drink some."
Ning Chen really didn't like drinking, and when he turned over and took a sip just now, he hadn't touched the fruit wine.
But since Xie Tingyun said so, he took it and drank it all in one gulp.
However, after finishing the drink, Ning Chen suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "How do you know that I don't drink?"
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, raised the half-full bottle of fruit wine in his hand, and said, "It was full when I took it, and there is no trace of you drinking it."
Ning Shen uttered an "oh" and couldn't help but said, "Amazing."
"Thank you for the award," Xie Tingyun said modestly, "Another drink?"
Ning Chen handed the empty cup over.
This fruit wine tasted like cool fruit juice, sweet and sour and refreshing. It seemed really good, so Ning Chen did not refuse it.
After clearing out all the food in the basket, Xie Tingyun practiced some techniques, washed his hands, tidied up the empty basket, and said, "Come down, let's go to the Canaan tribe to play for a while."
Ning Chen didn't realize that he had been successfully fooled without knowing it. Since he had nothing to do anyway, if Xie Tingyun wanted to go, then he could go.
Xie Tingyun casually put the basket into his storage ring so that he could return it to the tribe members later.
A Kui suddenly emerged from the darkness and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Holy Son, A Kui will lead the way."
"..." When Ning Chen saw A Kui, he remembered that he had spread rumors in front of him. He was so angry that his teeth itched. Fortunately, Xie Tingyun noticed it with his sharp eyes, so he quickly reached out to stop him: "You are the Demon Lord, why are you arguing with a subordinate? I don't believe it, so be a little more generous."
Ning Chen said: "Who stipulated that the Demon Lord cannot be fussy about his subordinates?"
Xie Tingyun said casually: "Me."
Ning Chen: “…”
Xie Tingyun readily added, "It's not that you can't do it, it's best not to haggle with a subordinate who cares about you and loves you. It makes you look childish, and he will be even more presumptuous next time."
Ning Chen: “…………”
Ning Chen said angrily: "What a twisted theory!"
However, he really didn't go over to pick a fight with Agui again.
Agui was walking in front and listened to the spontaneous twisted logic of the Holy Son. He had to endure it with great difficulty so as not to laugh in front of His Majesty.
The Jianan tribe was not far from the Demon Palace. Agui led the two of them through a shortcut to the Jianan tribe. During this period, they inevitably encountered the spiritual consciousness released by other great demons as a test. One by one, they were all blocked by the great demon aura released by Ning Chen.
The pressure from Ning Chen extended outward without any anger, strangling the other big demons one by one before they could find Xie Tingyun.
They didn't dare to extend their spiritual consciousness directly to Ning Chen. After being blocked like this, they learned their lesson and didn't even dare to check from a distance.
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingyun noticed something was wrong and asked, "Why are you suddenly letting go of your pressure?"
"It's nothing." Ning Chen said casually, and walked into the gate of the Canaan tribe without raising his eyes, "Someone was just peeping."
Xie Tingyun said "oh" and followed him in.
The Canaan tribe does not occupy a large area and is no different from an ordinary small village of the human race. The only difference is probably that the people living here are demons.
Xie Tingyun followed behind Ning Chen. From behind, he could see Ning Chen's broad and straight back, as well as the narrow waistline outlined by the tightened waist belt.
Xie Tingyun stared at his back for a long while, resisting the urge to reach out and grab his sleeve, and asked very naturally: "Is it okay for a human cultivator like me to appear in a demon tribe?"
"No," Ning Chen walked through the door, stopped when he heard the words, turned around and waited for Xie Tingyun to come in, and snorted coldly, "I'll see who dares to object..."
However, before he could finish his words, he heard a dazzling explosion of fire all around him. The sound pierced his eardrums and the sparks almost fell on his body.
Ning Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he pressed Xie Tingyun, who had just entered, into his arms without hesitation. He drew his long sword out of its sheath and drew a barrier around him that was stained with a fierce demonic aura.
This situation scared almost everyone.
A Kui hurriedly blocked Ning Chen's knife with his weapon and said in a low voice: "... Your Majesty, wait a moment!!"
The young demons hiding behind the gate were also frightened. They were still holding long smoke pipes with fireworks in their hands, and they were a little at a loss when they saw the extremely alert look of the Lord.
They seemed to frighten their benefactor and his friends.
Ning Chen frowned, and was completely speechless when he saw a group of demon brats holding fireworks bamboo tubes jumping out from the side.
He thought it was a demon assassinating him. What the hell.
Xie Tingyun was unexpectedly pressed into Ning Chen's arms. The sound of fireworks exploding was close to his ears, and sparks from the sky fell on Ning Chen's head and shoulders, as if coating him with a layer of extremely beautiful light.
Xie Tingyun stared at Ning Shen's sharp jaw, which was tightly clenched. At that moment, he could hear his own heartbeat very clearly.
