Chapter 209: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 30
While they were talking, they had already crossed the Wangchuan River and the boat had reached the other side. Runyu took out a few pills and gave them to the old man on the boat as the fare to cross the river.
When the old man saw the elixir that Runyu gave him exuding an enticing fragrance, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was not an ordinary item.
Then, his wise eyes first glanced at Runyu, then at Lingxi, but quickly looked away.
Runyu reached out his hand and helped Ling Xi down from the boat. Before leaving, Ling Xi looked meaningfully at the old man on the boat, and met his thin and yet amused eyes. In a place where Runyu didn't notice, Ling Xi nodded to him slightly, and different expressions appeared in the eyes of both of them, silently and without anyone noticing.
In less than half a day, Ling Xi had reached a cooperation agreement with others.
After Ling Xi and Run Yu disappeared from his sight, the old man rowing the boat seemed to have tears flashing in his eyes. After so many years, he finally waited.
There is hope for their reappearance.
Ling Xi and Run Yu strolled side by side in the market.
The sky of the demon world is not as clear and bright as that of the heaven, but as arrogant and bright as blood. Green underworld fire is flying around, ghosts are everywhere, and the air is filled with a dark and terrifying atmosphere.
But the market was bustling in a different way, with people coming and going, and small stalls selling special items from the demon world on both sides of the street.
Before getting off the boat and officially entering the demon world, the two had already changed into black clothes, the symbolic color of the demon world.
Wearing black clothes, Runyu is still as gentle as jade, graceful and elegant, with just the right smile on his lips, just like a handsome young man.
Ling Xi's waist-length hair was braided into several braids and tied up with a red jade hairpin. The loose hair on her forehead made her look playful and cute, but the black skirt added a bit of cool temperament.
Therefore, at this moment, the two of them walking in the crowd were not much different from other people from the demon world in the market. At most, they attracted some attention because their looks were too outstanding.
But most people's eyes were friendly, without any other strangeness.
This made Ling Xi and Run Yu feel very comfortable.
Compared to the gazes of the people in the fairy world, they prefer the atmosphere of the demon world.
On the first day in the Demon Realm, Ling Xi and Run Yu did not meet Xu Feng, so after walking around the entire market and buying a bunch of Demon Realm specialties, Ling Xi and Run Yu found an inn to stay.
On the second day, when Ling Xi was shopping at the market again, she saw Jin Mi, who was wearing a black skirt and had her long hair braided into two big braids. She was buying things but forgot to pay and was grabbed by someone. Jin Mi was holding a pair of pink and white rabbit ears in her hands, but no one knew what she, a temporary grape elf, wanted the rabbit ears for.
Looking at the rabbit ears, Ling Xi remembered the old man he saw at Nantianmen two days ago. The old man's true form seemed to be a carrot.
That's right. Jin Mi probably bought the rabbit ears to play a prank when she goes back home.
Ling Xi looked at the situation over there. Jin Mi had probably never paid before, so she didn't know that she had to pay for things, not to mention that the things in the demon world had to be exchanged for spirit balls condensed from spiritual power.
Seeing Jin Mi being held by the vendor, Ling Xi walked forward, took out a small ball, handed it to the vendor, and pulled Jin Mi out of his hands.
"That's enough." Ling Xi looked at the vendor and pointed to the spirit power ball handed to him.
"That's enough, thank you very much, young lady." The peddler thanked repeatedly.
Jin Mi was obviously very happy to see Ling Xi. She kept playing with the two braids of her hair on her chest with her hands and called out in surprise, "Fairy Ling Xi, why are you here?"
Ling Xi said briefly: "I am here with Runyu to do some work. What about you? I remember that you were going back to the Flower Realm with your elder. Why did you appear in the Demon Realm?"
"I" Jin Mi stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything, obviously not wanting to tell her purpose. How could Ling Xi not know why Jin Mi came here? However, this running around personality should be changed.
Xu Feng walked back from the front and asked, "How did Fairy Ling Xi appear here?"
Seeing Xu Feng's nervous attitude towards Jin Mi, Ling Xi's eyes darkened.
It seems that Xu Feng has developed feelings for Jin Mi.
"Jin Mi accompanied you to the Demon Realm to do business, so naturally I came with Runyu." Ling Xi ignored Xu Feng's hidden hostility towards him and answered casually.
"That's right, Xufeng." Just then, Runyu appeared, walked to Lingxi's side, and said softly, "Axi came with me."
Xu Feng didn't care much, "It turns out that my brother has come to the demon world."
Runyu looked at Xufeng and Jinmi with a gentle and calm expression, "Let's go back to the inn and talk."
Xu Feng: "Yes."
The four of them returned to the inn. Runyu and Lingxi had already requested two rooms yesterday, so Xufeng naturally had to buy his own room.
Xu Feng requested a suite. When she entered the huge suite, Jin Mi was excited. "Such a big house? Where should I live?"
Xu Feng said as a matter of course: "You are my personal maid, so you should serve me."
Runyu looked away calmly, pretending he heard nothing.
Xu Feng is becoming more and more shameless. He deceives young girls like this, regardless of the difference between men and women, and he is not afraid of damaging other people's reputation.
Ling Xi stood up, pulled Jin Mi behind him, and warned Xu Feng with a grim expression: "Your Highness, the God of Fire, please be careful with your words. As a woman, it is not appropriate for Jin Mi to be in the same room with Your Highness. Also, Your Highness, please do not casually use the term "personal maid" to avoid misunderstandings. In fact, Jin Mi saved Your Highness' life, and Your Highness has helped Jin Mi a lot over the years. If Your Highness feels that Jin Mi owes you something, just send a message to the Flower Realm and ask them to repay you. Jin Mi will never do something like a personal maid, so, Your Highness, the God of Fire, please remember this clearly in the future."
Ling Xi wanted to slap Xu Feng in the face. How could he have the nerve to let Jin Mi be his maid, and even a personal maid.
Besides this, they were in the same room together, and not only did Jin Mi not understand anything, but Xu Feng, who was almost ten thousand years older than Jin Mi, was also so ignorant. He said whatever he wanted and had no knowledge of etiquette at all.
After hearing what Ling Xi said, Xu Feng's face also turned unhappy, and he realized that this action was indeed inappropriate.
He himself doesn't care, but Jin Mi is a woman. If other people knew about this, who knows what rumors might spread.
Although he knew he was wrong, Xu Feng couldn't bring himself to apologize.
Finally, he touched his nose, looked at Ling Xi's cold face and Jin Mi's pure eyes, and said with a guilty conscience: "This matter is my fault, Fairy Ling Xi, I'm sorry."
Ling Xi snorted, pulled Jin Mi and turned away, saying: "Jin Mi, ignore him, you live with me."
She still had things to do secretly to help Jin Mi, so it would be best if they stayed in the same room.
Jin Mi was very happy: "Yes, yes, Fairy Ling Xi."
Xu Feng looked at the backs of Ling Xi and Jin Mi as they left mercilessly, and turned his gaze to Run Yu for help.
Runyu immediately looked away and pretended not to see it.
