Chapter 20 Knock on the Door
Chapter 20 Knock on the Door
I don't know how Master Liu communicated with his in-laws, but Xuan Shuang asked him to organize the wedding banquet within three days, and he really kept everything simple and ready within three days.
At this time, every corner of the Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, and from time to time, the busy voices of the servants could be heard, making preparations for tomorrow's wedding banquet.
Xuan Shuang and Qi Yao used to live in Mr. Liu's room, but now Mr. Liu is in good health, and tomorrow is the wedding banquet, he has already moved to another courtyard of Liu's mansion.
The candles in the room were flickering, maybe there were monsters in the past, the room was always gloomy, but Xuan Shuang had removed the ghostly aura.
Xuan Shuang didn't look at Qi Yao, sitting cross-legged on the small case, with layers of white robes, pale lips, and an even more pale expression, with candlelight reflected in his eyes, his face was clear and shallow, like snow on the top of a mountain , not stained with mundane dust.
If other people were here, they might be deluded, but Qi Yao hated his teeth itchingly. He hated his appearance the most. It seemed like an old monk had settled down, his eyes were clean, no one could see him, and no one could touch him. His mind.
Every time he sees his superior posture, Qi Yao's sadistic and destructive desires will increase sharply, wanting to crush him, tear him apart, make him hurt, make him cry, but fortunately, he can see something wrong on his face. With the same expression, it must be quite exciting.
Thinking of this, a trace of anticipation flashed in Qi Yao's eyes, and his impetuous mood stabilized. When he raised his eyes again, a blank look appeared on his face, "Why?"
The crisp sound of tea could be heard, but Xuan Shuang didn't raise his eyes, "It's dangerous outside."
In recent days, Qi Yao's acting skills have been mastered, it can be said that he is very good at it, he pursed his lips, and said coquettishly: "But, I want to stay by your side."
Xuan Shuang glanced at him without any emotion, like a saw-jawed gourd, neither saying yes nor no.
There are wooden steps under the small case. Qi Yao walked towards him and sat down on the floor. Although he was thin but tall, he could rest his chin on Xuanshuang's lap by slightly lifting his chin.
There was a strange feeling of soreness and itching, Xuan Shuang looked down, Qi Yao's skin was fair, his cheeks were rosy, his temple hair was wet, and even his eyes were wet.
"Okay..." Qi Yao rubbed his chin against Xuanshuang's leg, and continued coquettishly: "I promise not to make trouble for you..."
Xuan Shuang pursed his lips, his heart was like still water, unmoved by foreign objects, he drank the tea in the cup, and put down the cup gently, "No."
After he finished speaking, he stood up from the small case, ignored Qi Yao, turned around and walked towards the couch, as if he was about to go to bed.
If you don't let him go, you won't let him go, but he has legs growing on him, so he can go wherever he wants, who can control him?
Qi Yao was unhappy, walked to his side and lay down with his back facing him, and ignored Xuan Shuang.
Xuan Shuang looked at his back, Qi Yao was obviously sulking and tempered, but Xuan Shuang didn't know how to coax people, so he had to pretend he didn't see it.
In the middle of the night, Xuanshuang's breathing was calm, and Qi Yao knew that he was not asleep, so he deliberately pretended to be casual, turned around and put his hands and feet on him.
Xuan Shuang seemed to glance at him sideways, and then tried to gently move her hands and feet away. Qi Yao did it on purpose, but how could he make him happy.
After a while, he climbed up again, leaning towards Xuanshuang deliberately, with his forehead resting on his shoulder.
Qi Yao heard him sigh softly, and the breath as light as frost and snow entangled him, and he didn't see him push away for a long time, Qi Yao's thoughts became chaotic, and he gradually sank into the boundless darkness.
It was just dawn again, and there was a faint sound coming from the front yard, Qi Yao moved, his hands felt soft, he opened his eyes suddenly, just in time to meet the gaze cast by Shang Xuanshuang.
Qi Yao: ".."
When Xuan Shuang got up, Qi Yao immediately withdrew his hands and feet. It wasn't until Xuan Shuang's figure left the guest room that Qi Yao came back to his senses. He actually slept soundly all night with Xuan Shuang in his arms?
..
On the day of the wedding banquet, the Liu Mansion was full of gongs and drums, a large floating banquet was set up, ten miles of red makeup, and eight big sedan chairs were carried to bring the bride in. It was lively and lively until late at night.
Qi Yao hadn't been out of the backyard almost all day, because Luo Jiutang was afraid that he would be uncomfortable in front of others, and he didn't know when Brother Bao would be attracted, so he let him stay in the backyard safely, which was exactly what Qi Yao wanted. He didn't bother to mingle with the noisy crowd.
Hearing the noise subside, and seeing Xuan Shuang come back after a long time, Qi Yao planned to sneak out to look for him, and take a look at the situation outside.
But just as he was about to move, the fluttering candlelight in the room was extinguished by a gust of wind, and Qi Yao's eyes suddenly fell into darkness, the surroundings were quiet, and even the sound in the front yard disappeared, and there was a very faint evil spirit in the air. .
The corners of Qi Yao's mouth curled up slightly, bloodthirsty flashed across his eyes, and the hand hidden in his sleeve had already summoned the afterimage of Qi'e Sword.He turned around suddenly, Qi'e's sword was full of aura, scarlet lines flashed on the sword body, he swung the sword and hit something, and there was a very short puff sound and the dull sound of a heavy object falling in the darkness.
Qi'e's blade flashed red, devouring the demon blood on it, and humming slightly in his hand, the black shadow struggled to get up, and attacked Qi Yao again.
act recklessly.
Qi Yao didn't pay attention to it at all, and threw the sword in his hand towards it violently, nailing the unresponsive monster to the ground with his sword, his flesh and blood were eaten away by Qi'e in an instant, and he remained motionless.
The monster originally thought that Qi Yao was weak and could let him eat, but unexpectedly he became the soul of his sword.
Qi Yao withdrew his sword, but at this moment, the demonic aura became stronger and stronger, and several groups of black figures suddenly appeared in all directions in the room, all roaring and rushing towards him.
With a flash of red light, Qi Yao raised his sword and dropped it. A few monsters behind him died before they landed. Their hands felt warm and sticky. Qi Yao lowered his head, and the front of his clothes and the back of his hands were accidentally stained with demon blood.
Qi Yao closed his eyes impatiently, and when he opened his eyes again, his black pupils turned into red pupils. He had already lost the good mood just now. Seeing that he hadn't moved, a little monster rushed towards Qi Yao with a fierce look in his eyes. But he grabbed it with one hand.
Qi Yao's hand exuded the smell of blood, and what he was holding was a monster with a weird shape and tentacles, and its body wriggled and twisted.
Those tentacles curled up and wrapped around Qi Yao's wrist, and the barbs pierced into his flesh and blood, but he ignored it, and cut open the monster's chest with his fingers, blood splashed out, and the monster screamed silently and shrilly.
At this moment, a strange excitement flashed across Qi Yao's face. The monster did not die immediately. Qi Yao held the Qi'e Sword in his hand, and seemed to enjoy the process. The sword blade drew bloodstains on the monster's body. Drops splattered into blood on the ground.
The tortured monster gradually lost its struggle, Qi Yao let go of his hands and the corpse fell to the ground, piled up with several monsters.
There was faint spiritual power floating on the tip of the sword, and then disappeared. The very little spiritual power merged into Qi Yao's spiritual sea along the Qi'e sword. powerful.
Qi Yao retracted his sword, his five fingers were stained with sticky blood, and there were blood spots on his wrist hooked by the barbs of monsters. Qi Yao stared at it for a while, not intending to deal with it, and let it bleed.
Looking at the mess in the room, Qi Yao raised his hand to destroy the monster and other corpses just now, leaving only one or two corpses. In the eyes of others, he is low-level and cowardly, so it is impossible for him to get rid of by himself. So many monsters.
After doing this, Qi Yao put on a terrified expression, and staggered towards the front yard.
The guests in Liu's mansion had dispersed, a servant stepped lightly through the corridor, knocked on a door, heard a voice from inside, and the servant pushed the bridal chamber away.
The groom was standing in front of the mirror in wedding clothes, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head, his eyes were picturesque, gentle as jade, it was Liu Yuanji who had just woken up a few days ago.
Because the Liu Mansion was in danger tonight, the bride was not in the bridal chamber, not even in the Liu Mansion. After paying her respects, she was escorted back to her natal home by her servants.
Seeing Xuan Shuang, Liu Yuanji hesitated for a few seconds, but couldn't help but said, "Master Immortal, Yuanji has something to ask."
Xuan Shuang raised her eyes and looked at him, already guessing in her heart, "Say it."
"If Brother Bao is caught," Liu Yuanji looked at Xuan Shuang earnestly with a trace of unbearable flash across his warm cheeks, "Can he be spared?"
The wedding room was filled with happiness and the candles were flickering. Xuan Shuang didn't agree immediately, but looked at him quietly, and after a while, said: "He once wanted your life."
"I know." Liu Yuanji said: "But the Liu family owes him a lot. Now that I have the help of an immortal master, my life is safe. This grievance can be written off..."
Xuan Shuang said bluntly: "What about the people who died by his hands?"
If Brother Bao stayed in Liu's residence honestly and did not go out to do evil and hurt people's lives, then even if he had the evil intention of killing, Xuan Shuang would spare Liu Yuanji's life without Liu Yuanji's opening his mouth.
But now he has killed several people in the town, and it is very possible that he has something to do with the evil spirit that cannot be hidden. No matter what, Xuan Shuang will not let him live anymore.
"But.."
Liu Yuanji wanted to intercede for Brother Bao, but Xuan Shuang gave him a flat look, his expression was calm and his attitude was not tough, but his words seemed to be pinched in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Luo Jiutang, who was also dressed as a servant, opened the door and said to the two, "Mr. Liu, the time has come."
Xuan Shuang withdrew his gaze, Liu Yuanji nodded indifferently, and took off the clothes on his body to exchange with Xuan Shuang.
Seeing Xuan Shuang put on the bridegroom's wedding dress, her eyebrows and eyes only became more beautiful, Luo Jiutang said: "Little brother, be careful."
Xuan Shuang said "Yes", Luo Jiutang stopped talking, and led Mr. Liu, who had changed into a servant's costume, out of the bridal chamber.
Xuan Shuang extinguished the candle, walked towards the wedding bed in the dark, folded her hands, and lay down on it.
"Knock Knock Knock-"
But after a while, the door was knocked again, and Xuan Shuang suddenly opened his eyes.
Xuan Shuang didn't make a sound.
He pretended to be the bridegroom Liu Yuanji and stayed here just to wait for Brother Bao. Master Liu had already told the people in the mansion that no one should come here at this time.
The door was knocked for the second time, accompanied by a trembling voice as thin as a mosquito, "Xuan Shuang..."
It's Qi Yao.
Without his response, Qi Yao outside the door did not give up knocking on the door, and when the next knock sounded, Xuan Shuang opened the door.
The moonlight was hazy outside the courtyard, and he was dressed in a black robe. The tall and thin young man was stunned when he saw him in red, and then he threw himself into his arms, wrapping his arms around his waist.
Xuan Shuang froze.
