Chapter 74 Tool Man
The young man has disheveled black hair, gentle eyebrows, and a vertical flame pattern on his forehead. The gentle and faint candlelight is imprinted on his body, with a calm atmosphere, for his The whole body is shrouded in a flower-like style in the mist, and the picturesque face, separated by the swaying firelight, makes people unable to see clearly, but at the same time, it feels extremely beautiful and enchanting.
Ni Hua looked at it in a daze. Just by looking at it, she felt a warmth spreading from her heart.
Is this junior brother?
Her breath was wrong. It was clear that Xi Yan's face was picturesque, but when she looked at him, it didn't look like him. She looked like he had blossomed to the fullest in the previous life.
"It's just you." Ni Hua raised her eyelids, stretched out her thin hand, pointed to Xi Yan's position in the crowd, and said calmly.
Xi Yan is indeed dedicated and has superb acting skills. From his movements to his expressions, he is impeccable. When he plays a person, his temperament changes accordingly. No wonder his business ability has been recognized by the industry.
And his extra memory will only make him more proficient in mastering these demon world gates.
Nihua Tingting swayed her skirt and stepped through the layers of jade. She took the lead and walked in front. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to peek at the enchanting figure.
When Xi Yan was sent to the fox demon's palace, everyone retreated in tacit agreement.
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan's dark hair, which was only tied up with a bamboo hairpin. She tightened her grip on his wrist, pulled and kicked the door open, and buckled him against the wall inside the inner door.
Nihua quietly lit the pattern on his forehead from a distance, and that touch of red was like a burning flame. Her hand didn't put it on it, and curled up slightly, and she suddenly Taking it back, she calmed herself down. Sighing, she said to him silently, "Junior brother, you don't look like you are acting."
After Nihua went back that night, the two maids in the fox demon's palace, because they had offended the fox, The demon's newly recruited attendants were thus dealt with. Two personal maids were gone, so Nihua naturally recruited a new maid.
Jian Lingjiao was recommended.
Jian Lingjiao was holding a basin. She stood upright at the door. The maid Xiao Hong beside her was chattering to her about how the fox demon had favored a new face today. Her eyes were numb.
As she spoke, the maid's voice gradually dropped, with a hint of fear.
The fox demon had four personal maids beside him. Two were killed on the spot, and one was sent away. Only one remained with him.
The fox demon has always had a moody temper. Even the people around him who have served him for so long will be killed when asked, not to mention people like them. Xiaohong didn't know why she was not selected so early, and she secretly complained to herself. Bad luck.
For a moment, there was a strange movement in the room, which made Jian Lingjiao pause inexplicably. It was windy at night, and she stood quietly on the corridor of the Demon Palace, lost in thought.
The two people in the room didn't look like they were acting. Only she was injured.
Jian Lingjiao grimaced as she listened to the strange sounds coming from inside.
In front of the beautiful dressing mirror, Nihua looked at the beautiful makeup flowers and the exquisite patterns of Baoxiang Salute. Through the mirror, she saw Xi Yan's young and handsome face. He lowered his head and bent over. Look at yourself.
Ni Hua turned around, narrowed her eyes, and looked at his relaxed and peaceful eyes. He was combing her hair seriously.
His palm was against the hair comb and the comb was against her dark hair, the two were intertwined, looking intimate. The hair comb was combed along the long black hair, and it was slowly combed to the end.
He raised his hand and a sleeve fell between her wrists.
For a moment, Nihua felt that time in the world had stopped, and she slowly closed her eyes. For a moment, he felt that the years were quiet and peaceful.
After calming down, we started talking about business.
Three days later, Nihua entered the underground organization as a fox demon.
The forces in the demon world are complex. The power behind the fox demon Xu Miao is one of the three major forces in the demon world, and Xu Qing is her right-hand man. He is in charge of a large part of the underground assets, and this underground asset is the most important and largest. The industry is the production and sale of silkworm poison.
Her current status is very convenient, but the risks that come with it are great, because the network of relationships is intricate. Once she makes a mistake, not only will she be wiped out, but her previous plans will also be implicated. of hidden piles.
So Ni Hua and Xi Yan looked at each other, and after they made some noise, they began to divide their work.
Ni Hua’s eyebrows moved. She picked up the whip and imitated the fox demon’s usual pedestrian style. She slapped Xiao Hong twice, then casually accused Xiao Hong of being punished. , leaving behind
Jian Lingjiao who seemed to be beaten and scolded.
In addition to being able to fight, Jian Lingjiao has a relatively straightforward temperament and is usually the one who does the work.
……
When Ni Hua entered the underground palace, Xi Yan had already taken advantage of his identity to open up the underground secret passage and mastered more specific information. Ni Hua saw something about the person in charge of the transaction and saw several faces through a curtain. It went by in a flash.
Ni Hua lowered her head, hiding her surprise. The important people she had met at the auction house in her previous life were all here.
The fox demon Xu Qing has a pampered character, and his posture is easy to control. Ni Hua looked at them with a stern look, showing a superior attitude.
Li Jia nodded and bowed, telling Nihua about the new products and the ledger of the transaction.
Ni Hua didn't know how the fox demon operated specifically to avoid exposing flaws, so she took a look and put it aside pretending to be in a bad mood.
When Li Jia saw her behavior, he didn't show any abnormality. Instead, he looked like he was used to it. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and he looked up with a respectful look.
Fortunately, they all regarded the original owner as a fool, so as long as Nihua made a gesture, the people below would take over all the work in Nihua's hands.
After going back, Nihua looked at the bill. She flipped through the pages, which was a little shocking.
When he saw the population list for the auction, Nihua's eyes flashed.
As for Li Si’s follow-up, this line was naturally handled cleanly by her master.
However, she overheard the news about Wang Laowu. Wang Laowu was tortured and when he died, he did not reveal the clue about Li Si. Instead, he found someone to secretly inform Li Si. The kindness allowed Li Si to move her beautiful wife to a certain address and take good care of her.
However, Li Si, of course, does not exist. Not only did Wang Laowu not get the news well, but he also attracted the demons who were following him and caught clues. They followed the clues and found his wife. Then he changed hands and sold Wang Laowu's wife to the auction.
In this auction, Nihua found Wang Laowu's wife in the goods column.
Complexity flashed through Ni Hua's eyes. Regarding Wang Lao Wu, Li Si was not very familiar with him, but he also knew a little about Wang Lao Wu's nature. Most of Wang Lao Wu's money was spent on that beauty. In the hands of the woman, she is not innocent, and Nihua has no intention of saving anyone.
After closing the account book lightly, Xi Yan made another copy. For a moment, spiritual energy floated in the air.
"There's something wrong with this bill." After Xi Yan collected the spiritual power, his heart sank. He had stayed in the underground palace. As one of the three major forces, it was impossible for the fox demon to only have such a small amount of property in her hands.
"Then, bury the charm first?" Nihua also felt something strange, and she pondered.
There are many underground palaces in the demon world, which are as complicated as a maze. They have buried spells in key places, one for surveillance. The other kind of talisman is prepared to make the entire dungeon fall when it gains momentum.
After dismantling the very complicated process, they started to lay it out step by step. It was so easy that it was almost unnecessary. It was even so easy that she suspected there was a trap.
It went too smoothly, and Nihua always felt uneasy in her heart.
Not long after, when the fox demon Xu Miao suddenly summoned him, Nihua's uneasiness reached its peak.
Before the auction, Nihua just heard a rumor for a moment that Xu Miao was looking for genius treasures everywhere, and Nihua's palace welcomed a few uninvited guests.
The news from Xu Miao came very suddenly. It was said to be an invitation, but the attitude of the demon sent by Xu Miao was very forceful.
The relationship between the two foxes seems to be slightly tense, which is very inconsistent with the information Nihua has learned.
"I heard, aunt, she was seriously injured?" Nihua looked at the two unfamiliar maids, put down the porcelain cup in her hands, and asked with some worry. "When did it happen? How is aunt's injury?"
The two maids beside Xu Miao looked at Ni Hua's sad posture. Both maids had calm faces. "The injury is not serious, you don't have to worry."
Ni Hua had all her good words, and they didn't reveal any news. Seeing that they looked like they were in need of money, Ni Hua decided to stall for time.
"Recently, a lot of treasures have been offered at the auction. I will present them to my aunt. You two will wait a moment."
"No need, the master's palace, what do you want? .”
Ni Hua gathered her clothes. Was she so seriously injured that she couldn't wait for a moment?
Ni Hua didn't even have time to communicate with Xi Yan, who had just left the house, before he was half-coerced by them to go out.
"If my aunt was not seriously injured, how did she get injured?" Nihua looked at the long spirit boat and asked calmly. It really didn't look like it was a temporary act. Invite yourself there. "Good sister, just tell me. When my aunt asks, I won't know anything about it. I'm afraid of making her sad."
"The master will inevitably be a little hurt when he comes in and out of the secret realm." One of the maids looked at Looking at the few drops of crocodile tears Nihua squeezed out on the way, her eyes were moved for a moment, and she finally softened her heart. "The injury is not serious, but it is a bit troublesome."
Secret realm?
There are not many secret realms in Jiuzhou, except for the secret realm of the Holy Realm and the Demon Realm. Maybe Xu Miao entered the secret realm of Ten Thousand Souls.
There are countless innocent souls there, and those who go in rarely come out. However, after coming out, it is said that the spiritual roots can be cleansed and reborn.
After arriving at Xu Miao’s underground palace, Nihua finally knew the whole story.
I heard that in order to improve her cultivation, Xu Miao entered a secret realm and was haunted by evil spirits. When she came out, she was accidentally cursed.
She was still fine when she came out. They said the curse happened suddenly and Xu Miao was still unconscious and not interested in worldly affairs.
Before Xu Miao fell asleep, she ordered Xu Qing to be summoned.
Ni Hua secretly memorized the route and followed the two maids through many palaces. She knelt on the steps blankly, looking at the faint veil blowing not far away. , collapsed, a figure was sleeping.
A circle of people surrounded the big demon's bed. They were staring at Xu Qing eagerly. Some demons who had been close to Xu Qing looked at Xu Qing with a trace of pity.
The demon world's imperial doctor felt Xu Miao's pulse, and then slowly turned his gaze towards her.
Then, the people in that circle slowly retreated.
Before the imperial doctor from the demon world retreated, he slowly said to Ni Hua, "The master will wake up soon. You can say some nice words to coax her, but don't let her get angry."
Ni Hua: "?"
Something is wrong, something is really wrong.
Xu Miao was cursed, so why, as someone close to Xu Miao, she could only kneel here instead of serving him closely.
But Nihua guessed that Xu Miao was definitely not under the curse just now.
At first, maybe they all guessed wrong.
Xu Qing's identity and role may not be so important, but rather an abandoned son.
Now, they went to find an exorcist to exorcise Xu Miao, but the evil spirit's evil deeds were unusual and the exorcist was useless.
Ni Hua seriously connected the events he had heard about, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Xu Miao suddenly promoted Xu Qing when she was traveling. She announced that Xu Qing was the daughter of her brother who was living abroad and she valued Xu Qing very much.
Although Xu Miao did have such a niece, looking at everyone's subtle attitude towards Xu Qing, Ni Hua felt that she might be a tool.
After a while, Xu Miao woke up.
"Ahem, is it Xiaoqing?" Xu Miao stretched out her thin hands and lifted up the green gauze in front of the curtain. Her face was slightly pale, but she smiled at Nihua, "You Come in, show your aunt first "I love you."
Ni Hua stepped forward and met Xu Miao's beautiful peach blossom eyes. Her thoughts were a little subtle. The imaginary love rival in her previous life has become an aunt-nephew relationship in this life, and the relationship is very confusing. .
Except for being a little haggard, Xu Miao's face was no different from what she saw in her last life more than ten years later.
Xu Miao looked at Xu Qing's young and beautiful face and nodded with great satisfaction.
After Xu Miao came out of the secret realm, she just felt that it was a bit troublesome after what she heard about the situation, and she already had a solution in mind. After more than ten years of planning, at this time, the medicine man of the underground palace has become a success.
The Yao Ren is a half-demon descended from a noble-blooded demon and a human. He cultivated thousands of silkworm poisons since he was a child and cultivated supreme mental skills. Xu Miao was cursed back then and sent a large number of people to snare these people. But after so many years, the only one who survived was the medicine man under the underground palace.
That is a living medicine man, one of those blood bags that can relieve strange poisons and curses in the world.
Although the medicine man has some relationship with Xu Miao and has been with her for more than ten years, he is not very important compared to his own life.
The medicine guide is there, and the container is also in front of me.
"Qingqing is here, please stay with your aunt in this palace for two days." Xu Miao looked at her with soft eyes.
Ni Hua lowered his head and said nothing, a look of loss flashed across his eyebrows.
"Qingqing, you and your aunt are quite different from each other. Did they bully you? Your aunt will teach them a lesson for you!" Xu Miao thought for a moment and smiled, looking kind and wanting to make the decision for her. look.
