Chapter 6
The group quickly left the wedding hall.
They walked through the corridor outside, carefully avoiding the main entrance of the building, but chose the more remote back entrance.
Opening the small inconspicuous door, Huo Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the few figures on the street outside: "Fortunately, no one is guarding here..."
Before the words were finished, a crowd of people suddenly poured out from both sides of the street, instantly surrounding Huo Mingxi and the others.Judging by the attire and the equipment in their hands, these are obviously reporters from various media who have been squatting for a long time.
"Mr. Duke, how do you feel about the wedding that just ended?"
"Your Majesty gave you such a marriage contract, did you really accept it voluntarily? Do you have any resentment in your heart?"
"Mr. Duke, someone on the Internet said that you used a special method to make that little Flower Immortal behave extra docilely. Is this true? Could you tell me what method you used?"
"#¥%¥..."
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" This kind of raid and siege of the Huo family has been experienced many times recently. Several of Huo Chengyuan's subordinates immediately blocked the crowd and expressed their attitude immediately, "Master Duke will not accept any interviews! Everyone pleaseCome back!"
However, such statements are useless, more and more people are flocking here, they will not let go of this kind of hot spot that earns enough traffic, the flashing lights are constantly on, and the questions raised are becoming more and more acute.
"Mr. Duke, they said that the investigation by the military court was hindered. Did you instruct the people in the military department to do it?"
"Mr. Duke, you have been accused of committing dozens of war crimes, including massacres. What do you think of this?"
"Mr. Duke, why have you been reluctant to release detailed data on your mental abilities? How destructive is the ability of 'pollution'? Is the destruction of Moston City directly related to your ability?"
Because the outside of the birdcage was covered with velvet cloth, Ye Bai couldn't see what was going on outside, but he clearly felt it - when the last question was asked, the hand holding the birdcage visibly paused.
"What happened in Moston City has nothing to do with my brother!" Ye Bai heard Huo Mingxi's voice. She was right next to Huo Chengyuan. She was so lively in the auditorium just now, but at this time the girl's voice was trembling violently, with a heavy tone.Crying, "The results of the military court's investigation have not yet come out. Why do you insist that brother is guilty? You can't slander a hero of the empire with empty words like this!"
"What kind of hero is he!" The crowd immediately shouted, "He is a bloody executioner! He caused the destruction of Moston City! He is the shame of the empire!"
After someone took the lead, more people cursed angrily. They denounced the Huo family's crimes loudly, mixed with all kinds of obscenities, and some people started throwing bricks and stones, and the scene became a mess.
Ye Bai huddled in the birdcage and didn't dare to move. He was very afraid that the birdcage would be thrown to the ground in such chaos. If someone stepped on it, he would die.Fortunately, such a situation did not happen—the hand holding the birdcage was very steady, and the other party calmly protected the birdcage through the most chaotic and dangerous stage, and quickly got rid of the incited crowd and entered theIn the star shuttle car that came to pick them up.
With the closing of the car door, the noisy and chaotic voices were isolated in another space, and Ye Bai's heart slowly fell back.
The car was very quiet, no one spoke, Ye Bai waited for a while, then quietly lifted the velvet cloth and took a look outside.
Contrary to what he expected, Huo Mingxi and the others were not in this car—maybe they took another car, and there was only one person sitting in this car at this time, Huo Chengyuan.
The man was leaning on the leather seat, his face was expressionless, and he was staring down at his right hand.The hand has taken off the glove, and the bare/exposed back of the hand is paler than normal, but there is no other abnormality.
Before Ye Bai could see more clearly, the man suddenly turned his head to look at him, his gaze was cold and gloomy, Ye Bai froze suddenly with a strong sense of oppression, but in the next second, that suffocating and frightening pressure suddenly dissipated, as if thatThe momentary danger is just an illusion.
"...I almost forgot about you."
Ye Bai saw that Huo Chengyuan quickly put the gloves back on. The black icy leather tightly wrapped the man's palm and wrist again. He carefully wrapped the silver chain around the glove, and then lifted the velvet cloth covering the birdcage., Press the switch again, and put down the railing of the birdcage, so that Ye Bai no longer stays aggrieved in the small birdcage.
"You are free to move about."
Huo Chengyuan thought that the other party would definitely fly away immediately, but this little Flower Immortal was still standing in the cage, "it" slowly opened the fluffy skirt, and shook the slender silver chain on the ankle.
...oh yes, and this.
Huo Chengyuan brought the birdcage in front of him, and studied the chain - one end of the chain was fixed on the bottom groove of the birdcage, and the other end was tied to the slender ankle of little Flower Immortal, in order to prevent little Flower with a certain IQ fromImmortal fled, and the silver chain tied around his ankle was knotted, and it was difficult to untie it immediately.
Huo Chengyuan thought for a while, he let go of the silver chain wrapped around the glove, but did not take off the glove, pressed the chain on the ankle of little Flower Immortal with his fingers through the leather, and said in a low voice.
"Be good and don't move."
Ye Bai felt that with a little force from Huo Chengyuan's fingers, his leg bones would be broken, so he dared to move around, nodded tremblingly, and the little pointed ears and little wings also trembled accordingly, very well-behaved.
Huo Chengyuan hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, Ye Bai saw Huo Chengyuan's index finger rub against the chain on his ankle a few times, the silver chain quickly dimmed, and rust-like reddish-brown spots appeared, and the rust became more and more serious.It got deeper and deeper, and finally Huo Chengyuan gently rubbed it with his fingers, and the originally flexible and strong silver chain fell off and disintegrated like soft soil, and rotted into a pile of rusty ash.
Ye Bai: "!!"
Turn iron into mud, how can this be done!
Ah, could this be the "pollution" ability those people mentioned?No wonder they are so afraid of Huo Chengyuan, this ability is so terrifying...
After getting rid of the chain, Ye Bai immediately flew into the air, twirling a few times in the air, enjoying the feeling of "freedom".Huo Chengyuan watched the little Flower Immortal flying farther and farther, and didn't pay much attention to it - his ability contained a sinister aura, which would make all creatures instinctively flee and evade, and the other party would stay away from him immediately, which is normal... huh?How did it fly back again??
Huo Chengyuan was surprised to see the little Flower Immortal landed in front of him again, the blond elf with blue eyes looked up at him, as if observing his reaction.
Huo Chengyuan: "?"
Huo Chengyuan: "Why are you back?"
The little Flower Immortal didn't speak—of course it was impossible for "it" to speak, but after looking up for a while, it cautiously took a step forward.Seeing that Huo Chengyuan didn't show resistance, "it" took another step forward cautiously, two steps, three steps, and finally jumped lightly into Huo Chengyuan's palm.
Little Flower Immortal's snow-white gauze skirt spread out on the black leather gloves, like a pure white flower blooming on the black scorched earth, beautiful and fragile.
Huo Chengyuan looked at "it" silently for a moment, and asked softly.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Scared.I'm so scared of you, I'm scared to death.Ye Bai thought.
But can "fear" reverse one's destiny and improve one's situation?
cannot.
It's a matter of life and death, he can't bury his head and escape like an ostrich, he must come up with a suitable countermeasure to avoid his "death" ending.
At first, Ye Bai planned to run away, thinking that as long as he stayed away from Huo Chengyuan, he could survive, but after calming down, he immediately realized how unrealistic this idea was: he was new here, he didn't understand the world here, and he couldn't communicate with others smoothly.Even if he managed to escape, it would be difficult to survive on his own; not to mention that he is not a human, but a petite little Flower Immortal. He does not understand his "racial habits" at allWhere to find the same kind, and I don't know if I can escape to the wild and survive smoothly.
So there is only one way for Ye Bai: stay and find a new life by Huo Chengyuan's side.
As for what this line of "vitality" is, Ye Bai already has ideas and countermeasures: he must be a qualified vase pet!
Ye Bai carefully studied the plots that he could understand, and confirmed that Huo Chengyuan's greatest hatred was still on the villain who plotted against the Huo family, and he was only given the status of a "disgraceful partner", so he would lie in misery.
so!
As long as I stick to my duty as a "vase pet", deeply imprint the concept of "I'm just a pet" into Huo Chengyuan's heart, and make him forget the label of "disgraceful partner", wouldn't everything be fine?Who would torture and kill a well-behaved and cute little pet?
Cute love, don't lose your head!
The more Ye Bai thinks about it, the more he thinks it is feasible. Although he has no experience in being a pet, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. It is always right to be friendly first. As for other forms... Uh, when I understand Little Flower ImmortalLet's talk about more racial habits.
Huo Chengyuan waited for a while, and saw that the little Flower Immortal in his palm not only didn't run or hide, but sat down on his buttocks, as if he had bewitched him.
Huo Chengyuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows: he wasn't scared away by his spiritual power. After so many years, there is only one case in front of him.
What an amazing little guy.
"Why aren't you afraid of me?" Huo Chengyuan couldn't help asking again, "I'm not a good person."
Ye Bai put on an innocent face, looked around as if nothing had happened, pretending not to understand.
Huo Chengyuan stared at "it" for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched the other person's head.This movement was very sudden, and he could clearly feel the little Flower Immortal's body froze instantly, not daring to move.
...Aren't you still afraid of yourself?
You are obviously afraid, but you still have the courage to get close to yourself. What kind of psychology is this?
do not understand.
But it's fun.
People can't help but want to tease it again.
Huo Chengyuan looked at the little Flower Immortal in his hand with great interest, Ye Bai's back suddenly felt cold, and he had an ominous premonition.
"Although you behaved very well, I don't intend to let you go." Huo Chengyuan said slowly.
Ye Bai: "!!!"
He, he really wanted to kill me from the very beginning!
Seeing that the little Flower Immortal started to tremble, and the little wings shrank back in grievance, Huo Chengyuan held back a smile, and slowly finished the second half of the sentence.
"...Unless you kiss me again."
Ye Bai: "..."
Ye Bai: "???"
What, what kind of strange condition is this?Can you really let me go with just one kiss?
Ye Bai blinked in confusion, although he thought it was a bit of a joke, but he saw Huo Chengyuan's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking; and thinking that this person is the future emperor of the empire, a big man who promises everything in the future, he wouldn't be able to deceive oneLittle Flower Immortal...
So Ye Bai let go of his doubts, flew up deftly, and kissed Huo Chengyuan on the cheek.
Little Flower Immortal's kiss was as soft as a gust of wind, before Huo Chengyuan had time to feel it, the other party had already fallen back into his palm.The cute elf raised her head, her green eyes sparkling, as if saying: I'm done kissing, according to the agreement, you will let me go, right?
Huo Chengyuan stared at those beautiful eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of dirt on them, and nodded slowly.
"Well." He said, "This agreement is valid for 24 hours, and it will be automatically voided when it expires. Unless you kiss me tomorrow, you can 'renew' it for another day."
Ye Bai: Huh??A kiss only for 24 hours??
Ye Bai was stunned, until he saw the flash of a smile in the man's eyes, he realized that he had been tricked.
This guy didn't intend to let him go at all, he was maliciously deceiving Qinqin!
Ye Bai was so angry that he almost cried.
How can there be such a bad person!To even lie to a little Flower Immortal's kiss!So, so bad!!
