590 The flowers bloom under the moon, and Lang Jun returns late at night
In the dead of night, Kapok sat in his own courtyard, looking at the flowers and branches in the moonlight. At night, compared to daytime, there is a quiet and enchanting scene here.
On the red branch like a python spitting stars, a flower bud wrapped like a complicated white dress is slowly blooming. This flower is called Moonlit Night, a plant with only one branch has flowers, and it blooms only once a year, and only under the moonlit night. Before dawn, it will wither.
Fortunately, this night's troublesome entertainment ended in time, and it did not delay Yaxing, who only enjoyed flowers once a year. Kapok breathed a sigh of relief. For her, the night's spoil-sharing dinner went smoothly and was over.
Since this period of her time had been borrowed by Mu Chengji with immortal arts, for her, it was actually just an instant to pass.
All she left behind was an ordinary memory and the ending that should have been. There was no sign of a fight on her body, and the Blood Spirit Stone she had received was already in her account.
Ji Yan and Lei Yan and others were unexpectedly absent, which she did not regret. If the old man doesn't come, the others can get a little more. So far, the blood spirit stones brought by this wave of beast tides have reached 380,000 taels, which is much more than in previous years.
Tong Feng was also bold, and he only reported an income of 350,000 taels. That is, the remaining 30,000 taels were intercepted as "leftovers". He alone swallowed 10,000 taels of blood spirit stones.
Kapok also got five thousand taels, the remaining two blood refining tribe patriarchs each got two thousand taels, the blood refining master and the great array master each got one thousand taels, and even the deputy under the formation master could also get three or five hundred taels of blood spirit stones.
The advantage of everyone taking the Blood Spirit Stone is that once something happens, no one is clean, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. Even if the upper echelons are angry, they will be more cautious if they deal with it too much.
What's more, the Great Elder Rong Qianzi turned a blind eye to most of these things. He had his own business to do, and he didn't want to make too much of a mess. So they're still safe.
To her surprise, Tong Feng actually got close to her intentionally or unintentionally, praising her appearance sweetly from time to time, and mentioning his huge power as one of the three Jindan elders of Sleeping Evil Mountain, and even did something to her, so he almost asked her directly if she was willing to be his concubine.
Kapok scoffed at this. Although she is not a pure descendant of the Tree Clan, she is a real Tree Demon who has cultivated and debuted on her own, which makes her heart full of unique loftiness and cold arrogance. If she wanted to take this path, she would have been on the road a long time ago. But unlike those banshees who dig their way up the ladder, she won't accept to become a concubine in exchange for an orthodox treeman.
It's not good for her to provoke Mao Tongfeng, but Kapok City is also very important to Sleeping Mountain. Even if the Elders really wanted to take her out because of Tong Feng's obstruction, she already had enough blood spirit stones, so it was a big deal to abandon this city and go to a cave in the wilderness to cultivate with peace of mind. From now on, it is also good to be free as a rich casual cultivator.
The moonlit night was completely unreservedly released, and under the dim moonlight, it was as beautiful as a burning white fire. At this moment, a familiar scent quietly spread with the faint fragrance of flowers.
Her heart was violently overjoyed, and she jumped up, and then infinite sorrow welled up in her heart. A tall humanoid shadow appeared behind Epiphany. Kapok's eyes ached faintly, and his gaze blurred.
"You're back?" she asked cautiously, with tears rolling in her eyes.
"Your city is so well guarded, I think it's hard to sneak in, don't you know?" the man smiled wryly.
It was not difficult to get in and out of Kapok City in the past. It's just that when he came back, he happened to encounter the beast tide, the whole city was closed, and there were defense towers around him that could resist the Jindan monks, so it was certainly not easy for him to get in. It can even be said to be extremely dangerous.
"You're not hurt, are you?" asked Kapok quickly.
"I'm badly wounded, I'm going to die. But I can't forget you, so I stick to this point, and I must see you before I die. The man said in a flat tone.
"Huh?" Kapok exclaimed softly, and immediately rushed over to see how badly he had been injured. Unexpectedly, the man was extremely agile, and he took her in his arms as soon as he stretched out his arms, and then kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear:
"As soon as I see you, no matter how serious the injuries are, they will heal. You're still alive, how can I be willing to die? ”
"You damn me!" Kapok remembered that this kind of fright was the most boring routine of this person. It's just that she hasn't seen her for a few years, and she forgot about it when she was excited, and the result was that she was fooled again.
The man's cloak to cover his face slipped down, and the moonlight reflected a young and handsome face that made Kapok intoxicated. This person was chased and killed by the Sleeping Evil Mountain for many years, and was rescued by Lian Ling from the Southern Hellfire Sea, the Tree Clan's Jindan Shuanghua Elder Kumu Rong.
"You still know to come back?"
Kapok hated him in his heart for saying goodbye repeatedly, but he didn't dare to speak loudly. Although her city lord's mansion was all her subordinates, she didn't know if there were any spies buried by the Sleeping Evil Mountain Kinobe. Deadwood Rong is one of the people Rong Qianzi wants to get rid of the most. As soon as his whereabouts are revealed, the scourge of killing will immediately come to the door.
"Do you think I don't want to abandon everything and go to the wilderness with you to live in seclusion and cultivate? But the Tree Clan is so chaotic now, Rong Qianzi covers the sky with one hand, how can I, as an elder of the Imperial Minister, stay out of the matter?
"Don't worry, as long as the Treant Clan is back on track, no matter what happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with my Deadwood Rong. I'll go with you wherever you're going!"
Dead Murong said the same thing to her every time, but every time she heard it, she felt the same righteousness and incomparably sweet.
The first half of each remark made his image more heroic and taller, and it made her want to stop. The second half made her hate melt like ice and snow every time, and she longed to melt herself into his broad chest.
The two embraced each other silently for a while under the moon. Kapok looked at the epiphany blooming wantonly in the night, the overlapping white petals, like a gorgeous dress unfolded, it was really indescribably beautiful, just like her current mood.
However, she knew that the flower would wither and fall mercilessly before the early hours of the morning. Deadwood Rong came and went faster than Epiphany, and no one knew when he would leave, let alone when he would return. Kapok restrained his excitement and asked with a hint of resentment, "When are you going to leave?"
"Rest assured. The Son of the Tree Emperor has appeared. As long as he succeeds in ascending the throne and my tree clan is reunited, I will officially marry you, and we will never be together like this again. Deadwood Rong's voice had a magnetism that she couldn't resist, seeping into her heart like a clear spring, making her extremely useful.
"Son of the Tree Emperor?" she frowned suddenly, "You said that Mu Chenghei, he was just called here by Rong Qianzi this evening, and he had only been away for a few hours. ”
Kapok faintly felt bad. Mu Chenghe's person obviously came with some purpose for the ghost owl, the ancient clan, and even the cold dust department. If this person ascends to the throne of the Tree Emperor, I am afraid that not only will the chaos of the Tree Clan not improve, but there will also be various external forces intervening and causing chaos to become a pot of porridge.
Deadwood Rong originally existed to revive the Tree Clan. If the Treant Clan continues to be chaotic, the so-called long-term coexistence he promised may be another disaster.
Unexpectedly, he smiled coldly, and his eyes shot out with excitement like electricity: "If you find any person, you dare to come and pretend, it's okay to deceive Rong Qianzi, how can you deceive me! The real son of the Tree Emperor can only be in my hands." When the ghost owls and Rong Qianzi fight in chaos, it will be the best time for me to succeed!"
"Fake?" Kapok was even more taken aback. She wanted to say that even Rong Qianzi didn't see any problems, but when she heard Dead Murong say this, she no longer doubted it. No matter how the Tree Clan people decided that it had nothing to do with her, as long as Deadwood Rong was still by her side, she was content with everything.
"I'll stay in your city lord's mansion for the next few days. Deadwood Rong whispered, "But you'll have to help me find a few people." ”
"Oh?" Kapok was overjoyed. Since Deadwood Rong is willing to live in her mansion, then they will have a lot of time together during this time, "Who are you looking for?"
What Deadwood Rong is looking for is, of course, wood, that is, the real prince. He had communicated with Lian Ling before, and Lian Ling once told him the specific plan of the group to go from Tianchi to Kapok City, so that they could meet each other.
Although these people were already in Kapok City, he didn't know where they lived. He had never seen wood, did not know the appearance and image of wood, and did not have his breath. If he was looking for it alone in Kapok City, it would really be a needle in a haystack.
"They should be four monks, at least one of them is a tree clan," Dead Wood Rong glanced around, bowed his head and said, "Three men and one woman, from the territory of the Crane Clan in the Eastern Demon Realm, should have entered the city mixed with the Blood Refining Tribe. As long as these four people are found, half the big thing is done. ”
"This is not difficult," Kapok leaned lazily into his arms again with a strand of fiery red hair on his head, "All the monks are now registered with the city defense department to defend the city, and it is not difficult to find a combination of three men and one woman. I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”
