1288 Proving Your Worth (4000)
Lan Shuying: "........."
Golden Crow on the Shoulder: "......"
Arrogance: "........."
From the arrogant silence, everyone suddenly understood that what he said "come over" was really just coming, and there was no other indication, however......
A few seconds later, Xiao Ao, who would be mistaken, poked out half of his head from the hilt of the sword, and was moved to tears: "Nothing has changed, no other energy body lives in!" โ
Lan Shuying silently supported her forehead.
Arrogant's face stiffened slightly.
He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ao, then opened his eyes sideways, snorted lowly, and said coldly: "I haven't met a more suitable energy body." โ
What is this called, want to cover up!
Textbook tsundere!
Xiao Aocai didn't care what his tone was, he only knew that he had received a positive answer, smiling happily, staring at him directly, his eyes were shining, which was completely the most real reaction of the fan brother after close contact with the idol.
Lan Shuying suspected that if he had a tail behind him, there would be no need to arrange a cooling circle in the hall at this time, just watching him flick his tail would be cool enough.
Someone on the side was humming softly, Lan Shuying looked over, and sure enough, it was an eight-tailed cat holding his breath. What made her find it most interesting was that the eight-tailed cat's vinegar was not disguised.
What's the matter, is it too deep into the play?
Arrogance is not deaf, of course he heard, but he slowly stroked the hilt of his sword, and took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it, but did not respond.
At this moment, Lan Shuying finally understood where Xiao Ao's confidence came from.
ยท
On the way, Xiao Ao told her that if it was time to fight to the death, only one could be left, and arrogance would definitely keep him instead of the eight-tailed cat.
This scene in front of us is the truth.
Although the arrogance does not say much, there is a lot of tolerance for Xiao Ao in his actions, and there is vague remembrance of the past companionship.
Of course, the most important thing is ...... There is an inseparable connection between Xiao Ao and his sword, and this is what he needs most!
Arrogant waved at her.
Lan Shuying's arms suddenly lightened.
Xiao Ao's body floated, gradually condensed into the size of a baby's fist, and was arrogantly tucked into the hollow of the hilt of the sword.
The blade hummed with joy as it greeted its long-lost companion.
Arrogant sighed, looking very satisfied.
If you define Xiao Ao and the eight-tailed cat respectively, for arrogance, the latter is the pet that fills his spiritual world, but Xiao Ao is an important guarantee for his invincibility.
Which is more important, it depends on the occasion.
Lan Shuying's heart was stunned.
No wonder she heard that she had lived in a simple place with arrogance over the years, and she hadn't gone out to fight much, mostly because she had lost this energy stone, and her strength had been damaged.
This was followed by some scenes, verbal commendations, and a batch of rewards.
Among them, there are more than a dozen magic items, in addition to some gold and silver jewelry, which look dazzling, but in fact they are less than a tenth of the value of those magic items.
Xiao Ao wanted to speak and stopped.
Arrogance had already thrown away his handkerchief, and his right hand held the hilt of the sword that had just been embedded in the power stone, and the other hand held out a dazzling golden apple.
The fruit has no aroma, as if it were a dead thing made of pure gold, but if you perceive it with your spiritual sense, you will find that it contains vigorous vitality and has a great attraction for the soul.
"This one is yours too."
After arrogantly speaking, the golden apple flew into Lan Shuying's hand, and he himself lifted his sword and disappeared as soon as he turned around.
After he left, the atmosphere in the hall changed abruptly.
The entourage invariably breathed a sigh of relief,
Some people saw the credit for her sending Xiao Ao back, and in the future, she may be a new celebrity among her followers, and she wanted to climb and make friends with her in advance, but her eyes came into contact with the unkind eyes of the eight-tailed cat not far away, and she suddenly felt a chill behind her! Unrelated people soon left.
Lan Shuying rubbed the golden apple, thinking to herself, this should be the kind that the clown mentioned.
How was the clown introduced at that time......
It is said to be from the Golden Orchard, and if you eat it, you have a chance to upgrade your identity card and get new skills.
It is said that the production of this thing is decreasing year by year, and now if you want to get a golden apple, you must either have the strength above the blue card and have connections and status; Either they have good talent and successfully defect to the eight-tailed cat company, or the Dakosa family, who are responsible for maintaining the orchard.
It seems that she got the employee benefits before she joined the company.
Lan Shuying thought so and chuckled.
The eight-tailed cat opened his mouth with bitter sarcasm: "A gadget deserves to be so rare, hillbilly ......"
Lan Shuying realized that she had been in a daze for a little longer, causing people a misunderstanding that she was reluctant to eat.
She put away the golden apple as if nothing had happened, and did not mean to reply, as if she had not heard a word. The attitude of total disregard made the eight-tailed cat jump to his feet in anger.
The owner of the main hall had already left, and Lan Shuying didn't stay long, and was about to turn around, when he was stopped by Leng Buding.
"Something?"
The eight-tailed cat stared at her coldly: "If you know each other, you will leave the headquarters today with your reward, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." โ
Lan Shuying sighed, staggered her steps, and passed past him with an expressionless face.
The eight-tailed cat didn't give up, and the tips of its claws hooked her sleeve: "Did you hear it, when will you get out?" โ
Lan Shuying frowned, and her afterglow rested on the furry black paw.
Jin Wu sighed in his heart, and his expression of watching the show was suddenly put away, "Ahem...... Hey, what do you mean, is this your home, you say drive people out? โ
Lan Shuying stopped this senseless scolding.
She shook the restless claw open, and though she wanted to scorch it or cut it, but unfortunately the occasion was not right, so she tore the sleeve, burned it between her fingers, and walked out without looking back.
The karmic fire burned fast, but only a little, and it was quickly pressed down by her.
The eight-tailed cat didn't realize the unusual nature of the fire.
He just thought the new bastard was more of an eyesore. I still wanted to entangle, but at this time, a sound fell in my ears, and the eight-tailed cat was slightly stunned, turning into a more petite appearance and running into the inner hall.
Lan Shuying was looked at by countless eyes when she walked out of the palace gate, she casually found a sentry and asked him where he should go to rest.
The other party pointed the way, and he didn't dare to say more because of the power of the eight-tailed cat.
"Thank you."
Lan Shuying held a handful of golden crows and walked slowly on the cobblestone road full of petals.
She had already discussed a lot with Xiao Ao in advance, so she didn't care what he would say when he got along with Arrogance in private, in short, the existence of Hades was destined to be exposed, and the good life of the eight-tailed cat would not last long, so she didn't need to waste time with this stupid cat.
However, arrogant's feelings for this cat are extraordinary, and if you want him to completely believe that the eight-tailed cat is a high-ranking figure in the underworld, and there is another purpose by his side, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
The sooner we deal with Hades, the better.
At this time, it is better to separate the Hades and the eight-tailed cat, as for tearing the true identity of the eight-tailed cat, they should be ready to fight a protracted battle.
Jin Wu communicated with her thoughts, and muttered resentfully: "I thought that when I got here, I would be able to solve most of the matter, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome...... Is this the power of hugging your thighs? โ
Lan Shuying smiled: "Yes, it was my problem that I couldn't let you hug your thighs." โ
"Eh, no, no, no, you have difficulties, I know...... I just think these intrigues are very annoying, knowing who the culprit is, it's far better to punch it, then it's all quiet...... Alas. โ
He sighed at the end, indicating that he also knew that this method would not work.
Lan Shuying was silent for a few seconds, just as a flower fell, she reached out to catch it, stared at the blackened stamen and said in a trance: "Is it difficult, it's actually not too difficult, as long as the seven deadly sins can be obedient, it's easy to say anything." โ
Jin Crow made a neck tilt movement: "Let them be obedient?" Isn't that hard? โฆโฆ Uh, wait. โ
It's not impossible.
But, a specific person is needed.
For example, someone who separates the seven deadly sins from a bad taste.
"Ugh."
"Ugh."
It's better not to show up for that particular person.
Otherwise, it's like pushing the door early in the morning and seeing a crow for the first time, except for bad luck or bad luck.
It turned out that the eight-tailed cat seemed to have learned a lot of palace fighting skills, but he was not enough to do anything here in the residence, Lan Shuying took a turn in this small courtyard alone, and was very satisfied. Here she changed her clothes and ate a plate of snacks, but she still didn't wait for Arrogant to send someone to call her.
She thought about it, no one stopped her at the door anyway, so it was better to go out for a walk, and by the way, she could find out if Shalene and his wife were there.
Finding people is something that Jin Crow is good at, but he has limitations in using the same spell, he can only see the ground with light, and if a person is hidden underground, he can't do anything.
Lan Shuying went to call her nominal attendants and assistants, Tao Shan and Huya.
"What? Shopping?! โ
Huya was stunned, and was twisted by Tao Shan in the back, screaming in pain, and instantly his IQ was online, and he understood what he meant: Shopping is fake, and taking the opportunity to investigate is true! Finding the mentor and his wife, isn't that the purpose of their infiltration into the headquarters?
"Well, I like to go shopping! Let's take a walk, hey, I'll take a look at what I can take home, I don't know how the business is going here, it would be nice if there was a tavern......"
Huya happily hugged Taoshan and walked out.
When a guard near the courtyard heard this, his eyes showed thought, and as soon as their backs disappeared, he went to report it.
As soon as she went out this time, Lan Shuying felt that there were at least a dozen people watching in the dark, but the ones who followed silently must be arrogant people, not only followed but also sneaky with malicious intentions, definitely the eight-tailed cat's subordinates.
"They're not tired, they've all followed three streets......" Huya lowered his head and thought to himself.
What he wanted to say was that this was really just a place to go shopping, and there was no room for the slightest internal affairs, and they couldn't stand outside the gate for an extra minute.
It's harsh.
Lan Shuying had anticipated this result in advance, and calmly led them into a restaurant and ordered a table of so-called special dishes, just to appreciate the island style.
Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box.
Someone came to inform her that the arrogant lord had please.
Tao Shan and Huya looked at each other, the reputation of the Seven Deadly Sins had already been pressed into a mountain in their hearts, and they said that they were not afraid, but they were still a little stunned when they really met it, so they were very sweaty for Lan Shuying.
"It's okay, didn't Xiao Ao and I still have a temporary contract, and it should be solved today. You eat first, and if I don't come back in two hours, you go back to the yard you used to be. โ
After Lan Shuying explained, she was worried that the eight-tailed cat's subordinates would do something to this senior brother, so she left Jin Wu behind.
She followed the messenger back to headquarters.
This time, she was not led to the main hall, but to an endless lotus pond, with a zigzag stone bridge in the middle, and arrogantly in the pavilion in the center, she saw a fishing rod sticking out of the pavilion from a distance.
The so-called seven most rebellious sins, always seem to be breaking her cognition.
Arrogant heard the movement and glanced sideways at her: "It's just in time, accompany me to fish." After saying that, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Lan Shuying: "......"
Before she could reply, someone had already arranged everything, as long as she stood behind the fishing rod and moved her mouth when she wanted to retract the rod, someone would naturally do it for her.
Okay, fishing, self-cultivation.
She looked at the clear lotus pond, and there was a large koi more than ten centimeters under the lotus leaf recently, which was red and gorgeous, and it was particularly gratifying. It turns out that it is these little things that are fished, and this hobby is really different.
There was silence in the pavilion for a while, but the fishing rod next door was bitten, and the retinue went to retract the rod, and the sound of the fish's tail slapping on the surface of the water broke the silence.
Arrogant said: "You send Oclius back, merit, those rewards in the morning are only a part, and the rest of the rewards are you choose." โ
Lan Shuying mentioned God and listened carefully to the follow-up.
"You were supposed to be a native of the Western Continent, but you didn't succeed in pursuing Natia, so you cut off ties with your family and went to be her adopted son. Do you regret this? โ
Lan Shuying: ?!
She knew that Arrogance was talking about the original owner, the Brian she had killed in the Hanging Gardens!
What's going on with this guy, is the news lagging behind, or does he simply disdain to listen to rumors outside?
Lan Shuying thought to herself, the night of the bachelorette carnival in the Sky Garden was very lively, if he listened to the gossip news, he should know that Brian had been replaced, why not ask her about the past?
She didn't answer immediately.
Arrogant and said, "If you don't regret it, I will arrange for you to go to the Golden Orchard as a supervisor, and the treatment will be one level lower than that of Oclius, and you will keep five golden apples every season when they are ripe." โ
Lan Shuying still has a golden apple in her hand that she hasn't eaten, and she can't tell how effective it will be for the time being, listening to his tone, five is already a lot.
She hesitated: "Then what if I say I regret it?" โ
Arrogant but laughed.
"Regrets? Since you don't want to go to the Golden Orchard, there are still two ways, either die or stay with me. Did Oclius tell you that I don't take waste! If you want to stay, do something that proves your worth. โ
Lan Shuying listened expressionlessly and nodded: "For example?" โ
"Hasn't there been a Hades lately? You lead a team to get them out and destroy them, or you go and investigate the source of the plague and destroy it for me! Take your pick. โ
