The goddess steals, the black-bellied prince is cute

Chapter 45 What is he missing? 2
Yelu Honghua finished the porridge in the bowl, took the towel handed by Mu Yi to wipe his mouth, and said, "It rained all night last night, the road outside is already muddy, he came in from the outside, but there were some stains on his clothes No, only a small amount of mud on the sole of the shoe. This is a master."

Yan Xiaoxiao was surprised when she heard that, and secretly took another look at the white-clothed man. Sure enough, as Yelu Honghua said, the white-clothed man didn't even get a drop of mud, and it was still raining outside, and his hair and clothes were not covered. Getting wet is obviously not in line with common sense.

Unless, as Yelu Honghua said, he is a master who can use his own internal force to form an invisible protective cover that bounces away the mud and rain.

The man in white asked the innkeeper for a room and went in. The food was also delivered to the room by the waiter, and he didn't come out all day.

In the afternoon, the rain had stopped, and the sun was showing half of its head. Yan Xiaoxiao went back to sleep after breakfast, and in the afternoon, she felt much better.

Yelu Honghua wasn't in the room when she woke up, and she didn't know what she was doing. Yan Xiaoxiao was idle and bored, so she took Chuntao to the inn for a walk. As soon as she went out, she met the white-clothed girl from the morning again. man.

He was still dressed in eye-catching white, and the fan in his hand was unfolded in front of him, shaking it slowly. The expression on his face was very calm, neither indifferent nor kind. Against the backdrop, there is a hint of coquettishness for no reason.

This is really a handsome man who makes women jealous.

Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glanced twice, and remembered what Yelu Honghua had said, she didn't dare to look again, turned her head and was about to pull Chuntao away, but was stopped by the man in white with eyebrows behind her.

"Girl, are you going to the Dark Empire to participate in the auction?" The white-clothed man's voice was as warm and pleasant as ever, like Wang Qingquan, which made people feel comfortable physically and mentally when they heard it.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't understand the other party's intentions, so she thought for a while and half-truthfully said: "We are indeed going to the Dark Empire, but I don't know if we will participate in the auction or not. I came out to play with others."

The people who will appear here either go to the Dark Empire or come out of the Dark Empire. Yan Xiaoxiao's answer is quite appropriate.

"Really?" The man smiled slightly, "My name is Feng Lishang, I don't know the girl's name?"

"Yan Xiaoxiao." Yan Xiaoxiao replied lightly, looked at the man again in her heart, and found that his eyes were smiling and pure, and he didn't look like a treacherous person, but he still felt that everything was wrong. It's better to be cautious.

Although she didn't know why Yelu Honghua ran all the way to the Dark Empire for something, and she didn't hesitate to owe her a favor, but since she had promised Yelu Honghua, she would try her best to get it something.

Yelu Honghua said that that thing cannot be bought with money. It is conceivable that many people are craving it. Before knowing the details of the other party, it is better not to reveal your purpose.

"So it's Miss Yan, I'm being polite here." Feng Lishang folded her fan and bowed to Yan Xiaoxiao, "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Looking at Feng Lishang's leaving back, Yan Xiaoxiao felt a little strange.

This man stopped her specifically to ask if she was going to participate in the auction of the Dark Empire?

The two have never met before, yes, or not, what does it matter?

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Yan Xiaoxiao simply shook her head and took Chuntao outside for a walk, and went back to the inn when it was getting dark.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't tell Yelu Honghua about this matter, she only thought it was an episode, and she left it behind after a while, and only vaguely remembered that she met a very enchanting silver-haired man in this inn. Man, he didn't take it to heart.

When the weather cleared the next day, they set out on the road again, and after walking for almost two days, they reached the seashore.Across this ocean is the Empire of Darkness.

Yan Xiaoxiao felt quite nervous.

There is only one ship going to the Dark Empire every three days. Considering that there are a lot of people going to the Dark Empire to participate in the auction recently, and the flow of people has increased sharply, so recently there is one ship a day. two days.

The boat is very big, and there are 200 people on this boat. There are also small single rooms and Datong bunks on the boat. If you have more money, you can live in a small single room, and those who have no money can only live in Datong bunk. Hua lived in the same room with Yan Xiaoxiao again.

When this kind of thing happened for the first time, Yan Xiaoxiao would inevitably feel that it was not very good, but she has been used to it for a long time. Anyway, Yelu Honghua never sleeps on the bed, but sleeps on the floor, or simply meditates all night. Said it has no effect.

The sails were raised, and the boat moved slowly. The wind was favorable today, and the speed was quickly picked up. At first, it was a little wobbly. After the speed was balanced, it felt nothing. It was the same as sitting at home.

After these days of getting along, Yan Xiaoxiao has been able to integrate well with Yelu Honghua and the people he brought, including Xiaocui.

After observing for many days, she was sure that Xiao Cui had really lost her memory. When she was learning the art of stealing from her master Qian Shou Kong Kong in her previous life, Qian Shou Kong Kong once dragged her to the street and asked her to guess a person based on their clothing, behavior and expression. people's wealth.For this reason, she learned to recognize people's expressions very early on. Xiao Cui's expression does not seem to be fake.

Besides, since he followed them, he has been well-behaved and capable in doing things, even if she wants to find fault, there is no excuse, right?

"My lord, miss, please have some tea." As soon as she thought about Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui walked in from the outside, holding a pot of tea and two teacups in her hand, and placed them in front of Yelu Honghua and Yan Xiaoxiao in turn. After pouring for the two of them again, they retreated to the side.

Yelu Honghua picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, took a sip, and suddenly asked Yan Xiaoxiao, "Do you know the beast master?"

"Beast Master?" Yan Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She didn't know why Yelu Honghua suddenly asked this question, but she still answered honestly: "I heard some rumors before. It is said that a beast master can drive wild beasts into weapons, which is very powerful. But I haven’t really seen it, so why do you suddenly ask?”

"Then do you believe in the existence of beast masters?" Yelu Honghua asked again.

Yan Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, then nodded, "It's impossible for anything to be groundless. Since someone said it, someone must have seen it. Why, do you know the beast master?"

Yelu Honghua took another sip of tea, and for some reason, suddenly became interested in chatting.

"I have seen beast masters before. When I was only fourteen or fifteen years old, I went out to do some errands and encountered some accidents. I met beast masters. Beast masters are only available in the dark empire. They are only for protection The Dark Empire makes a living and rarely travels to other countries, but those who offend the Dark Empire will be punished even if they are far away."

"I've heard of this. It is said that the people of the dark empire are descendants of gods. Their existence is to protect the ruins of the gods. It was rumored mysteriously a few years ago, but recently the dark empire has gradually opened up to the world. Many people When I went to the Dark Empire, I didn't find any particularly powerful people."

As Yan Xiaoxiao said, she raised her eyebrows at Yelu Honghua, "But why did you suddenly think of saying this?"

Yelu Honghua's tone suddenly became very serious, "I'm telling you this to remind you that the Dark Empire is no better than other places, we will enter the territory of the Dark Empire in a few days, you'd better keep a low profile, Ann A little bit."

"You make it sound like I'm getting into trouble every day." Yan Xiaoxiao curled her lips in displeasure, "If you want to be low-key, you should be low-key, no matter how high-key I am, I'm just a concubine from the Yan family. .”

Yelu Honghua smiled and shook his head, "Aren't you causing fewer troubles? Don't provoke people from the Dark Empire at will, and don't offend their beliefs, otherwise you won't know how you died."

Although he has the confidence to protect Yan Xiaoxiao well, he should be reminded that there is a contingency in everything, and he cannot bear that kind of risk.

"Okay, I get it, why are you becoming more and more verbose." Yan Xiaoxiao waved her hands, stood up and walked out, "I'll go outside to blow some air."

The sea is boundless, and the scenery on the sea is very beautiful. There are a few people sitting on the deck talking, laughing and drinking. Yan Xiaoxiao leaned on the railing to blow a cool breeze. When she turned her head, she met Feng Lishang, the man in white from before.

He was still dressed in white like snow, standing in the corridor about ten meters away from her, looking at the vast sea, with the jade flute that was pinned around his waist by his lips, it could be seen that he was playing it.

The sea is very windy, it is very empty, and there are all kinds of people around. Under such circumstances, the sound cannot be heard very far. No wonder Yan Xiaoxiao didn't hear the flute before, but now he sees people and knows that he is playing the flute. He listened carefully to the flute, and finally heard it.

It is a lingering song.

Yan Xiaoxiao thought to herself, this person is too strange, playing the flute in such a noisy environment, he can't calm down at all, can't he play the flute, okay?

Feng Lishang accurately caught Yan Xiaoxiao's gaze again, smiled at her, and took the jade flute away from her mouth, "So it's Miss Yan, what a coincidence."

Yan Xiaoxiao walked to him and stood still, "Unfortunately, only one of this boat goes out to sea every day, and you and I set off on the same day, so it's normal to meet here."

She discovered just now that several people were familiar faces she had seen in the inn that day, so she was not surprised that Feng Lishang would appear here.

Feng Lishang raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, as always, he was as magnificent as ever, "Anyway, it's a predestined relationship, may I invite Miss Yan to drink a cup of tea?"

Yan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, this is my honor."

The smile on Feng Lishang's face became even warmer and brighter. He put away the jade flute, and made a standard invitation gesture to Yan Xiaoxiao, "Please."

Yan Xiaoxiao followed Feng Lishang to the small single room where he lived.

Every room on the ship was built in a similar manner. When I walked in, I thought I was back in my own room. Feng Lishang asked Yan Xiaoxiao to sit down, and he took out the tea and started to work.

Yan Xiaoxiao discovered that his way of drinking tea was different from that of ordinary people.The so-called tea making is to put the tea leaves into boiling water and soak them for a while. Depending on the type of tea leaves, different spring waters are selected. The temperature of the water and the utensils are also different, so even if you think about it, it is a very simple thing. , People who don't know how to make tea will also ruin the good tea.

And Feng Lishang is not making tea, but making tea.

He carried a strange small stove with him. Silver charcoal could be placed under the stove, and a small purple clay pot was placed on top of it. As the silver charcoal grew slowly, the water in the purple clay pot slowly boiled.
