As Huaiqing waved her hand to take the pearl, she glanced at the beautiful lady with a smile, and then looked at Xu Qi 'an, who had a sincere look on his face.
Then, she reached out and took the mermaid pearl.
The moment the pearl was in her hand, it emitted a clear and bright light, just like the light bulb in Xu Qi 'an's previous life. Even though it was almost noon, it was still dazzling and bright enough.
"It can even glow."
"Eh?" Huaiqing said softly, and her expression and tone were a little surprised.
With this pearl, she didn't need to light candles in her bedroom. Moreover, the pearl's light was clear and bright, much more resplendent than candlelight.
It was a rare treasure.
After saying that, she found that Xu Qi 'an and the nine-tailed fox were looking at her with strange expressions.
But their expressions were different.
Xu Qi 'an's eyes and expression were a little complicated. There was joy, playfulness, peace of mind, gentleness, helplessness, and so on. Huaiqing hadn't seen such complicated emotions on his face for a long time.
The nine-tailed fox, on the other hand, was holding back her laughter and a trace of hostility.
Huaiqing was exceptionally smart and immediately noticed the clues.
At this time, she saw the nine-tailed fox holding her belly and laughing teasingly.
"Legend has it that as long as you hold the mermaid pearl and see your beloved, it will glow.
"I thought that the ruler of a nation, the dignified empress, would be different. It turns out that you are just like ordinary women, deeply in love with a dissolute and lecherous man.
"Tsk, tsk. You've hidden it well. I've seen countless women, but I really didn't see that you like Xu Yinluo so much."
Huaiqing looked at the mermaid pearl in her hand, and her face turned pale. Then, an intoxicating blush appeared on her face.
She suddenly looked at Xu Qi 'an, and her beautiful eyes flashed with shame, anger, embarrassment, and embarrassment. It was just like the time when Xu Ningyan and Lin An's wedding was exposed by Guardian Yuan.
She didn't expect Xu Qi 'an to "plot" against her in such a way.
"This, Your Majesty …"
Xu Qi 'an coughed and was about to ease the empress's embarrassment when he saw her blushing cheeks suddenly turn pale.
Then, she looked at him with a look of disappointment and sorrow.
Huaiqing said coldly,
"Are you very proud of yourself?"
Hmm? What kind of attitude is that? Is she angry out of humiliation … Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment.
Huaiqing coldly waved her sleeves and threw the mermaid pearl back.
Xu Qi 'an reached out to take it and held it in his palm. Out of habit, he propped up his Qi to prevent it from coming into contact with his palm.
He suddenly understood why Huaiqing was angry.
If the Mermaid Pearl glowed when the bearer was in front of the person he loved, then there was nothing unusual when the bearer was holding the Mermaid Pearl.
What did this mean?
It meant that Xu Qi'an did not love anyone.
No wonder Huaiqing was disappointed and angry.
This woman is too quick-witted … When Xu Qi 'an held the Mermaid Pearl just now, there was actually a layer of Qi between his palm and the Mermaid Pearl.
In this way, there would not be any abnormalities and Huaiqing would feel that something was wrong. Moreover, a deeper concern was that when Huaiqing knew the characteristics of the Mermaid Pearl, she would turn around and ask him,
"The pearl glowed because of whom?"
The nine-tailed fox added, "Yes, because of whom?"
This was very awkward.
He sighed, withdrew his Qi, and held the Mermaid Pearl in his hand.
Therefore, in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox and Huaiqing, the Mermaid Pearl glowed brightly.
Huaiqing's cold face quickly melted. The disappointment and sadness between her eyebrows disappeared, and she looked at the Mermaid Pearl in a daze.
"Oh, so Xu Yinluo has been secretly in love with me."
The nine-tailed fox "screamed", blinked her eyes, and fluttered her eyelashes. She said shyly,
"This, this, our races are different, and we cannot love each other."
Go away, go away … Xu Qi 'an wanted to spit on her face.
To avoid the scene just now, he took back the Mermaid Pearl, and cupped his hands,
"I have been out at sea for several months, and I will go back first."
Huaiqing did not stop him, and nodded slightly.
"I also want to go to the Xu Mansion as a guest!"
The nine-tailed fox said in a sweet voice.
Xu Qi 'an ignored her, and the big eyeball on his wrist lit up, and then he teleported away.
The nine-tailed fox shook her waist, twisted her buttocks, and ran out of the imperial study, turning into a white rainbow.
The huge imperial study was empty, and the eunuchs and maids had already been dismissed. Huaiqing sat in the empty imperial study, and heard her heart beating in her chest.
She held her face in her hands and exhaled softly.
Well, she had indirectly conveyed her feelings. The hot potato was in the hands of Xu Ningyan, and she did not care anymore.
…
The Northern Region.
Notes on the Nine Regions Geography:
Snake Mountain, no vegetation, many gold and stone, there is a big snake in the mountain, named Candle Nine.
The cavalry of the Jing Kingdom cast an altar more than ten meters high on the top of Snake Mountain. The four directions of the altar were the corpses of the demons and barbarians.
"Master Nalan, everything is ready."
The king of the Jing Kingdom, Xiahou Yushu, ascended the altar and respectfully saluted.
On the altar, Nalan Tianlu stood with his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly.
"Begin!"
Xiahou Yushu grabbed a torch and threw it into the brazier. The kerosene was instantly ignited, and the brazier burst into flames, emitting black smoke.
The black smoke billowed, and was clearly visible in the blue sky.
The cavalry of the Jing Kingdom at the foot of the mountain put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and clasped their thumbs, wrapped their left palms around their right palms, closed their eyes, and prayed to the Sorcerer God.
The faith of tens of thousands of people converged. It was silent, but in Nalan Tianlu's ears, it was a grand call.
In the distant Jing Mountain City, the statue of the Sorcerer God shook with a rumble. Black smoke filled the air, and slowly drifted towards the Northern Region.
The black smoke passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, and in the time of a dozen breaths, it arrived at Snake Mountain tens of thousands of miles away. It dispersed on the top of Snake Mountain, and turned into a blurry face.
Everyone on Snake Mountain felt the world darken, as if night had fallen.
Xiahou Yushu did not dare to open his eyes, but he sensed an uncontrollable power enveloping the entire Snake Mountain.
The Sorcerer God had come, the altar had summoned the Sorcerer God … his heart shook, and he hurriedly eliminated all distracting thoughts, becoming more and more devout and respectful.
Nalan Tianlu bowed towards the huge face in the sky, and then took out a blue porcelain bowl from his sleeve. The bowl was filled with clear water, and a red snake as thick as a chopstick swam in the water.
Candle Nine!
It had been sealed in the bowl by Nalan Tianlu.
Nalan Tianlu put the bowl on the yellow silk table, and took a few steps back.
The blurry face in the sky opened its mouth, which could swallow mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon, and sucked hard.
The Flood Dragon in the bowl flew up, left the blue porcelain bowl, and was sucked into the Sorcerer God's mouth.
And the corpses scattered in the four directions of the altar emitted wisps of blood, which were also sucked into the Sorcerer God's mouth.
Although the fate of the Fire Country had been handed over to the Buddha, the Qi of the Northern Region had made up for the loss of the Sorcerer God … Nalan Tianlu thought.
Although he had found out the Supervisor's trump card, and understood that he had no other way but to help Xu Qi 'an ascend to Martial God.
But the Buddha did not kill or injure the Extraordinary masters of Daibun. The action of devouring Thunder Province was all bark and no bite, so the Sorcerer God Cult's move was a great loss.
Nalan Tianlu even felt that the Buddha had retreated so decisively, most likely with the mentality of "taking all the advantages", not giving the Sorcerer God Cult a chance to reap the benefits.
Not long after, the Sorcerer God's mouth slowly closed, and a voice came into Nalan Tianlu's ears.
"Well done."
It was impossible to tell whether the voice was male or female, but it was grand and majestic.
Nalan Tianlu maintained his saluting posture, and did not move.
"Return to Jingshan City quickly."
The majestic voice came again, and then dissipated with the black clouds.
…
Xu Mansion.
In the study, Xu Qi 'an looked at Xu Xinnian across the table and said,
"That's what happened."
The handsome Xu Erlang pinched between his eyebrows and sighed.
"This is completely beyond the pressure I should bear. Apart from despair, what else can an ordinary man like me do?"
Xu Qi 'an patted the little brother on the shoulder.
"You can be responsible for giving advice. A useless advisor doesn't need to fight in the battlefield."
After that, he rubbed the little boy's head and said,
"Have you been dreaming about big bugs recently?"
Xu Lingyin was holding a stack of osmanthus cakes in her arms. The osmanthus flowers were fragrant in autumn, and the family made osmanthus cakes every day.
"Yes!" The little boy answered vaguely.
"Every day I'm going to become a bone, but what if Master and Shirohime eat me when I become a bone?"
She thought the "Gu" was the bone of a bone. After all, in life, her mother always scolded her.
"Are your bones hard?"
Or,
"Lingyin, I made you pork ribs soup today."
Xu Xinnian sighed.
"So that's what it means if you don't turn into a Gu, you can't escape from the catastrophe."
If the supreme cultivators of each system replaced the Tao of Heaven, the cultivators of the system would be able to ascend to the Tao.
The Poison God asked Xu Lingyin to practice turning into a Gu as soon as possible.
Xu Qi 'an said in a low voice,
"If you turn into a Gu, Lingyin will become a Gu Beast with low intelligence. She can only follow her instinct and can't retain her humanity.
"Of course, in the eyes of the Poison God, humanity is meaningless."
If turning into a Gu didn't have such a big side effect, the Gu Clan would have turned against the Poison God long ago, and the idea of sealing the Poison God wouldn't have been passed down from generation to generation.
When Xu Lingyin heard this, she frowned slightly.
"As stupid as Shirohime?"
Fear was written all over her face.
"You and Shirohime are almost the same. How dare you despise him …" The two brothers thought at the same time.
However, although she was not smart, she could not lack emotions.
If Xu Lingyin lost her emotions, she would become a Gu Beast that only knew how to eat.
At that time, the Gu Beast Lingyin would appear and kill all living creatures within thousands of miles.
The Four Supreme Masters … Xu Xinnian hummed in acknowledgment and said in a bad mood, "Hmm.
"Military counselor is just a military counselor.
"The great tribulation and despair will happen in the future. But before the tribulation, you can do a lot."
"Among the four supreme cultivators, Buddha has already become powerful. Even if you become a half-step Martial God, you can't enter the West Regions. Let's ignore Buddhism."
"The Poison God doesn't have any affiliated forces. You can move the Gu Clan to the Central Plains in advance and wait for him to get rid of the seal. There is no better way."
"We need to pay special attention to Wilderness and the Witchcraft Cult."
"After the former returns to the peak, he may gather the descendants of the Gods and Demons overseas and take them under his command. This is a very powerful force. You need to send people to gather the descendants of the Gods and Demons and make them our people. "
"As for the latter, the Witchcraft Cult hasn't gotten rid of the seal yet. You are now a half-step Martial God and can destroy the Witchcraft Cult. But I think the wizard system is good at divination and won't leave such a big loophole. "
"Good, my brother is qualified to be the Prime Minister …" Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction.
"No matter what tricks the Witchcraft Cult has, they can't run away from me. I will make them pay the price. As for gathering the descendants of the Gods and Demons, who should I send? "
Xu Xinnian looked out of the door and smiled weirdly.
"My new sister-in-law, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Qi 'an imitated Xu Xinnian and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"If she didn't go to sea with me, I would hang her up and beat her."
Dalang, who had been away for months, came back. Everyone was happy. But a seductive vixen suddenly appeared behind Dalang and said with a smile,
"Hello, sisters, I'm Xu Ningyan's demon companion. I'll be your sister in the future."
Xu Qi'an said no, she was joking. We are innocent, the sun and the moon can prove it.
But no one believed him.
Who would believe a person who listened to music every day?
Vixens are like that. They want to see the world in chaos and cause trouble everywhere … Xu Qi'an snatched Xu Lingyin's pastry and pressed her head to suppress her.
Seeing his sister screaming anxiously, he felt much better.
Xu Xinnian didn't want to help his younger sister at all. Instead, he took two pieces of pastry and stuffed them into his mouth.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
"Where are you going?"
"To watch a show."
…
In the inner hall.
Nine-Tailed Fox tasted tea and pinched the pastry with her little hand. She glanced at Lin An, who had a straight face, Mu Nanzi, who was sneering, Xu Lingyue, who was expressionless, Ye Ji, who looked resentful, and her aunt, who was afraid of monsters and had nowhere to put her hands.
"Sisters, you really can't take a joke." Nine-Tailed Fox said with a smile.
"Xu Yinluo and I are innocent."
She said innocent, but she kept talking about sisters.
Mu Nanzi said, "Oh."
"You, who are innocent, went out to sea with him to experience life and death?"
Experiencing life and death was what Nine-Tailed Fox said just now.
"We just took what we needed." Nine-Tailed Fox felt wronged.
"If I really had anything to do with him, how could I watch him seduce the Mermaid Queen and take her token of love?"
The tension in the inner hall suddenly rose.
Now even his aunt felt that Dalang had gone too far.
Xu Xinnian, who walked to the door, looked back at his brother in surprise. Is there a lover overseas?
Just looking back, Xu Xinnian was stunned.
The big brother in front of him had white hair like frost, looked tired, and his eyes contained the vicissitudes of time.
In an instant, he seemed to have aged dozens of years.
The trick of self-injury … Xu Xinnian instantly understood.
