In the distance, a group of monks and laborers were working. The lake is overflowing, and these people are busy digging a pool near the lake to drain the lake.

Zhu Li and a few youths from the same village rolled up their trousers and stepped in the knee-deep mud. They were shoveling dirt in full swing when a young monk suddenly called out, "Brother Zhu, the tiger is here!"

Zhu Li was very popular among this group of people, and he did not hide his origins. A group of villagers from Fufeng Town, Ningzhou, were sent to Lingshan for no reason, and were almost washed away by the flood. They also experienced a modified teleportation formation and were lucky enough to be sent out. These experiences immediately aroused the curiosity of the surrounding laborers and even monks. . And he always treats people modestly and politely, and leads several young and middle-aged people to work very hard, never slacking off. What is even more valuable is that, as a mortal without mana, he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of cultivators, which makes many people admire him.

Huzi was entrusted to his neighbors by him. The child clings to the father, and there are always several hours of the day wandering around the construction site. The monks and laborers at the scene liked him very much, and often brought some sweets and snacks to tease him.

Hu Zi probably had dinner at this time, and came to the construction site to watch his father work.

Zhu Li raised his head to wipe his sweat, smiled at Huzi, and asked, "Why are you here again? There is water in the lake now, be careful not to fall into it!"

Hu Zi snorted, and the childish little face made a disdainful expression. Everyone around laughed. A neighbor took the shovel in Zhu Li's hand, pushed him and said: "Today, the spirit mountain barrier is open, let alone children, even adults are a little scared when they see it, go and hug him. We are here. Well, it's not bad for you!" The people around nodded one after another.

Zhu Li smiled and bowed to the crowd, climbed to the ground, washed his hands in the lake next to him, then picked up Hu Zi and asked him lovingly, "Can we go back to our place?"

Huzi shook his head and pointed to Dahu.

"Want to see the water?" Zhu Li asked.

Tiger nodded.

"Go, go, take the child to see the water, be careful!" The people around agreed.

Zhu Li hugged Hu Zi and waved at the people, and the two men, one big and one small, walked slowly towards the distance of the lake.

"Oh, what a good boy, beautiful and obedient." A laborer sighed, "It's a pity that I always don't speak, and I don't know how I will grow up."

The young man from Zhu Litong village glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled, sighed with everyone, and then started to work again.

Zhu Li hugged Huzi and walked slowly along the lakeshore. There are still a few days until the fifteenth, the moon is only half-circle, and it is now covered by a cloud, making it dark and unclear.

The trees by the road suddenly trembled. Zhu Li stopped and said alertly: "Who!"

The bushes rustled, revealing the figure of a man. When the man saw Zhu Li, he immediately knelt down on one knee, presented a long axe in both hands, and said in a low voice, "Grey Wolf has seen the Prime Minister." After speaking, he raised his head. The moonlight came out from behind the cloud, and the clear light shone down on the man's face. It was the wolf demon in the illusion.

Zhu Li put down Huzi, blocked him behind him, reached out and took the long axe, and with a slight shake, he put away the long axe that could split the illusion. He said lightly: "Get up, there are many people here, so there is no need to salute."

The wolf demon stood up according to the words and stood respectfully in front of Zhu Li.

The moonlight sprinkled down, and Zhu Li's profile was shrouded in a hazy white light. didn't see how he moved, and the whole person suddenly changed. There was a look of majesty on the face of the former gentleman, which was the majesty of those who have been in high positions for a long time.

"When did you come out? Is there anything unusual?" Zhu Li asked in a deep voice.

"Prime Minister, Linghu and I have always been with the Shadowless Valley Master. We went out of the illusion this afternoon, taking advantage of the barrier outside the Lingshan disappear, and came out from the back mountain when the flood attacked. After the Shadowless Valley Master came out of the mountain, he went straight away. , Linghu is resting at the foot of the mountain, as for being in Lingshan..."

"Huh? What happened to you in Lingshan?" Zhu Li looked at him like a blade.

"We saw two young people in Lingshan. They broke the water control array on the top of the mountain. Fortunately, all the arrangements were completed at that time, and our business was not damaged."

"Two young people? Zhu Li glanced at Hu Zi," and then what? "

"We're fine, but the Shadowless Valley Master behaved very strangely. His subordinates don't know what his relationship with those two people is, but when he saw the two of them, he went crazy and took the broken mirror axe to open several illusion formations. Looking for, and fighting with the two in the illusion, almost delaying the last chance to come out."

"Oh? That's kind of interesting. Who could let the ruthless Wuying get so emotionally out of control?"

Under Zhu Li's playful gaze, the wolf demon described the scene in Lingshan at that time.

"Okay, I see. Now, what we have to do for the Celestial Monster Race has been done, and we just wait for them to keep their promises, and when things are done in the future, we will go and get what we deserve. "Stop, he said. Slow down a bit. "You and Linghu have worked hard this time. Let's find a place to rest for a while and wait for His Highness to call."

The wolf demon was overjoyed when he heard the words, gave a respectful salute, and left happily.

Zhu Li watched the wolf demon go away, turned around to face Hu Zi, and in an instant he turned into that kind father again, but this time, with a respectful look on his face, he held the magical long axe in both hands.to the tiger.

Little Huzi straightened his body, closed his eyes, and put his forehead on the blade of the axe.Under the pale moonlight, a four- or five-year-old child pressed his childish little face tightly to the shiny axe. The tender cheeks and the cold axe blade formed a strange picture.

A streak of scarlet rose from the long axe and slipped into Huzi's frowning brows.Hu Zi's body trembled, as if he was enduring infinite pain.Zhu Li stood beside him, watching worriedly, but did not move or make a sound.

After a long time, the red light finally dissipated, the tiger's hand loosened, the long axe fell to the ground, and the small body also slumped downward.Zhu Li took a step forward and supported him with both hands.

"Prime Minister." The child who had not spoken for a long time finally made a voice.

"Your Highness the Demon King, how do you feel?" Zhu Li's eyes were full of worry.
