Chapter 979
……
……
When Bailian came into the city, he originally wanted to make peace with Qingxin first and deal with business matters.
But who could have expected that Afutu, who had been sleeping for several years, would wake up at this time.
Baili'an saw the strange and interesting look in his eyes at the night scene of the city, and couldn't help but smile: "This is the first time Little Rabbit comes to Shifang City, but he wants to take a walk in the city?"
Bailian An picked up Afutu in the Valley of Chaos, as an ancient true demon that everyone hated and despised.
It must have been sealed in the valley of chaos since birth, and will never see the light or the outside world.
Thinking of this, Parian couldn't help but be filled with sympathy and guilt.
Thinking that the little rabbit had followed him out of the Valley of Chaos, experienced life and death, and risked his life several times, but he had never brought it to live a happy and ordinary life.
Thinking of this place, plus the atmosphere tonight is great.
How could Bai Lian be willing to leave the docile, well-behaved and sensible little rabbit aside and go take care of his own affairs first.
Afutu squatted on Bailian's shoulder with a cute and docile look on his face, and his soft little paws were considerate and careful in smoothing his hair that had been messed up by Shu Ci.
My eyes fell on the candied carrots and some fresh fruits on the candy snack stalls.
In the human fireworks at night, floating from afar, it is very refreshing and pleasant.
Balian chuckled, walked over, bought a bag of candied fruits and vegetables, stuffed it into Afutu's arms and let her eat it slowly.
Afutu hung the small bag containing candied fruits and vegetables around his neck.
Holding a carrot in two paws, the three-petal mouth clicked and moved rapidly.
After eating the carrots, both paws were covered with sugar juice, sticky, and the hair on the paws was sticky.
It looked at its little paws in distress, and then a chuckle came from its ears.
Balian tilted his head slightly, held his rabbit's paw to his mouth, and helped him gently lick the candy stains on his paw clean.
Afutu felt the soft and moist feeling on the pads of his paws, and his head turned away unconsciously.
The red eyes hide a trace of imperceptible shyness.
Shu Ci’s original position has been occupied, which made Balian unhappy again.
Even though the right shoulder was still free, he had no intention of letting her sit on it.
The nails on the claws were trimmed cleanly again, leaving nothing left, and they couldn't catch Balian's clothes to climb up.
I could only use it as a pendant and hugged Balian's thigh tightly with all four limbs to avoid being left in the inn.
How miserable and pitiful it looks, how pitiful it is.
I was already holding back my anger, but then I looked at the warm and affectionate atmosphere between Balian and that smelly rabbit.
Shu Ci didn’t know why, but he couldn’t suppress the fire in his heart.
There were bursts of shouts on the long street, and Shu Ci went out in search of reputation.
I saw an old woman selling goods under an open-air shed. She was painting warm and soft syrup on a smooth plate and fastening it with wooden skewers.
Although the old woman is old, her hands are very skillful. The kittens, puppies, and little foxes of different shapes drawn with syrup are so vivid that many children gather around to buy them first.
Shu Ci's eyes were immediately attracted to the child who was buying a fox-shaped candy man, and he secretly stretched out his paws to reach for the candy man in his hand.
Although the child was born with a tough head and a tough brain and is not very old, he is very alert.
He immediately sensed the 'danger' and suddenly looked into Shu Ci's eyes that looked like a tiger but looked malicious.
He was so excited that he quickly put the candy man in his hand into his arms.
Shu Ci has such a domineering temperament. Before he took the position of Lord of the Demon River, he was always bullying men and dominating treasures.
Now that the fox has fallen into Pingyang, a mere mortal child dares to refuse her request.
Shu Ci raised his canine teeth, sharp and fierce, and his vicious fox eyes were full of threats.
"Wow!!!!"
The child was frightened by Shu Ci's fierce gaze, and the little candy man in his hand was frightened.
He fell into his mother's arms and burst into tears.
Shu Ci was stunned for a moment, thinking, is this little human doll trying to get into trouble?
Why did she start crying before she even touched him.
It is true that humans, regardless of size, are equally annoying to demons.
That little sugar man would rather throw it away before he cried than ask for it according to my wishes. He is really hateful and has evil thoughts.
The child's frightened cries made a loud noise. The child's mother anxiously protected her child and looked at Balian reproachfully.
“Sir, can’t you take good care of your pets?
I really don’t know how you can have such a temper when a gadget that can be trampled to death with just one foot can’t you? He’s so fierce and aggressive, it scares my kids!”
pet?
A gadget that can be trampled to death with one kick?
Shu Ci felt that his dignity had been greatly humiliated.
The facial features on the fox's face shifted instantly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Looking at that look, it seemed like he wanted to tear the woman’s bones apart alive.
"Ouch! Look how fierce this little thing is? That look in his eyes makes him want to eat people."
Bailian frowned, picked up the little fox from his lap, and licked her with his fingers. The canine teeth that came out were hit hard.
The strength of his hand was not weak at all. Stars appeared in Shuci's eyes when he played the ball.
He scolded: "If I had known you were so restless, I shouldn't have brought you out in the first place."
Shu Ci just wanted a little sugar man, but for no reason he Got a lecture.
Unlike that stinky rabbit, he gave me whatever he asked for, and the snacks and flower bracelets he made along the way were never broken.
She bit down on the back of Balian's hand angrily, her teeth were sharp, and in an instant, there were holes in it, and blood gushed out.
The woman was frightened again: "Hey, Master, this dog you are raising is probably rabid. It only scares children, but it even bites its own owner."< br>
The child had not been coaxed yet, but when he saw Shuci's bloody look, he was so frightened that he cried even louder.
Bailian frowned even more tightly. Seeing her being so unreasonable and stubborn, there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
A Futu saw that his palm was bitten with blood, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his red eyes, but he suppressed it and did not have an attack.
Instead, he took out a few small tomato candies from his small paper bag, padded them with soft pink paw pads, and handed them to the child who was crying so hard that his nose was blistered.
Children naturally like to be close to soft and gentle animals.
Seeing the cute and snow-white little rabbit, innocent and harmless, and very humane, teasing him with the little fruit, I suddenly felt strange.
I forgot to cry for a moment, looked at it with my big eyes, and took the little fruit stupidly.
Comparing these two, one is extremely innocent and sensible, while the other has an extremely bad temper and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.
The difference between high and low should not be too clear.
Bailian expressionlessly picked Shu Ci's canine teeth from his palm.
He took out a few taels of silver from his arms, bought three small candies and handed them to the woman.
The woman was not a philistine person. After seeing her child being coaxed by the little rabbit who only had spiritual energy, she didn't care much about it.
After politely declining Balian's money and only accepting the candy man, he took his children to the night market.
Shu Ci watched helplessly as Balian bought three little sugar figures and gave them to other people's children. It was as if a sharp knife had cut her heart deeply and shallowly, making her feel unspeakable grievance and sadness.
She could not understand that her current mood was the jealousy of a child.
Her mind in the two-tailed form was far less mature and strong than that of the young girl, and tears quickly poured into her eyes.
Shu Ci had the urge to turn around and leave, never paying attention to him again.
But before she could make up her mind to really abandon him and leave, Balian let go of her hand and let her fall to the ground.
Shu Ci's heart also felt empty, and he raised his big head in confusion.
Looking at Bailian bandaging his bloody palm with calm eyes.
For some reason, Shu Ci panicked.
She hurriedly raised her paws to try to hook Balian's trouser legs, and called out softly twice.
Unexpectedly, Balian ignored her and walked away.
Shu Ci's nails had just been cut, and her claws could only touch the floating hem of his clothes, but they couldn't hook them at all, letting him slide away.
Looking at the back that was drifting away without looking back, Shu Ci stared blankly, forgetting to catch up for a moment.
For some reason, compared to the usual angrily scolding, Balian directly told her to leave.
She was able to not care at all and stick to it all the way shamelessly.
Right now, he didn't say anything harsh, but she felt as if she had really become a little pet he kept, accidentally biting its owner, and finally being ruthlessly abandoned in the sea of people.
Shu Ci's chest felt tight and heavy for a moment, as if a bone was stuck in his throat.
A pair of fox ears also slowly collapsed, and the hair was lost, but there was an emptiness in my heart.
……
...
After what happened, Bailian had no intention of continuing to play with Afutu.
I thought that the big-breasted fox was just greedy for sex and a bit impatient.
But there is nothing evil in it, which is different from other unreasonable monsters.
But tonight, when I looked at her again, I found that she was not impatient, but violent. She could not even tolerate a small child.
It's not that Bai Lian was angry because Shu Ci bit him, but he clearly felt it clearly just now.
The little demon clearly had some murderous intentions towards the little child.
If you continue to keep her by your side and pamper her, it is inevitable that she will develop a arrogant and cold-blooded temperament in the future.
For now, I will give her a break and let her realize where she went wrong.
Bypassing the busy night market in Capital City, Bailian came to a remote and slightly deserted tavern.
Pushing open the bamboo door, he took down the seven lanterns hanging under the eaves in front of the tavern courtyard. After taking down the third lantern, he walked towards the main hall.
Stepping across the doorstep, there were not many people drinking in the tavern. There were three people sitting in each of the southeast and southeast corners. There was a jar of freshly brewed flower and fruit wine in front of the table. However, they were sitting upright and did not sit down to drink.
It doesn’t look like a drinker.
In the middle of the main hall of the tavern, there was a woman sitting who was pouring herself a drink. The woman was wearing a blue-grey gauze robe, and her movements unconsciously revealed the aristocratic temperament unique to Shifang City.
Her eyebrows were graceful and cold, and she was sitting quietly, with a slim waist, a straight posture, and her eyes were as clear as water.
It's clearly located in such a small tavern, but it doesn't look like a human being.
Her eyes were looking towards Balian from afar, and her eyes seemed to contain deep meaning.
Bailian felt an invisible cold wind blowing in his face, and the green wick fire in his hand puffed and then went out.
The light in the tavern was a little dim, and Balian stopped. After the green lamp in his hand was extinguished, his cold white and handsome face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
The woman in the tavern looked at Balian carefully from beginning to end for a long time, and she couldn't tell what the meaning was in her cold eyes.
After a while, she spoke quietly, with a light and clear voice: "Young Master has come from afar. I have a glass of wine here. I wonder if I can treat you to a favor."
Bailian put down the extinguished lantern in his hand and said calmly. : "As far as I know, the girl doesn't seem to be the owner of this tavern."
The woman raised her eyebrows With eyes like gems, he nodded lightly and said: "I know that this tavern is a newly opened stronghold of your Demon Alliance."
Bailian pursed his lips tightly: "Where is Qingxin?"
< br>"Don't worry, she is fine. Although our positions are different, there is no need for me to kill her. So..."
The woman made an invitation gesture toward Balian: "Can you please take a seat now, sir?"
Bailian's eyes moved slightly, but he did not reject her invitation and sat on the wine table.
He picked up the glass of wine, bowed to the woman, then raised his head and drank it all: "Thank you for this glass of wine, girl, for being merciful to Qingxin."
The woman looked at After drinking a glass of cold wine from Balian, although his expression remained unchanged, a faint blush quickly appeared on his face.
Obviously, he is not a good drinker, and drinking alcohol affects his face.
Seeing this, the woman with a cold temperament actually smiled slightly and said: "Young Master's ability to drink is similar to that of an old friend of mine."
Bailian gently turned the wine glass with his fingers and said: "Do puppets also miss old friends?"
The smile on the woman's face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes suddenly became frightening.
Bailian glanced around and said: "It seems that these six guards of the girl are not human beings, but puppets from Shifang City, right?"
The woman obviously He is also a man of great wealth. The coldness in his eyes faded away and turned into a dull tone: "Their code name is 'Sui Xing'."
"Code name... Sui Xing?"
The woman said: "Shifang City began to experiment with the puppet mecha technique more than ten years ago, trying to create a puppet with self-awareness.
< br>And such a puppet has always been the biggest secret of Shifang City. Once it is born in the world, in order to distinguish it easily, it will be created for each generation. The batch of puppets was born, and they were named after each other."
Bilian was shocked by Shifangcheng's ambition, and he slowly put down his wine glass, "So, the girl should be their predecessor."
"Not talented." The woman's eyes were cold: "I am the first generation puppet, and I am called 'Yinghuo'."
"Name? Doesn't the girl have a name?"
"Puppets don't need names. If you insist on distinguishing them for convenience, you can call me 'ninety-nine'."
Ninety-nine... …
Compared to a name, it is more like a cold digital code.
However, although the woman in front of me calls herself 'Yinghuo', she has a different self-awareness from other puppets.
But...it's limited to 'self-awareness'.
Through those eyes that were as pure as gems, Balian could not see her ‘original heart’.
No emotional changes can be observed.
Even the cold eyes just now were just a mechanical way of expression.
Although her appearance is indistinguishable from humans.
Even compared to Balian, she is more like a human being. Her breathing, heartbeat, and pulse are all that of a human being.
Compared to the six young stars who don’t drink, she looks more perfect and naturally more powerful.
Right now, Balian is completely sure of the puppet woman who calls herself Ninety-nine.
She came from Shifang City, but at this moment, she is definitely not used by Shifang City!
