Chapter 61 Four old bachelors

Li He was pushed out of the door. He stared at the closed door in a daze, and finally turned around and left with the wooden basin.

The room finally quieted down. Yun Heng sat on the bed in a daze, and it took a while for her to calm down.

Never mind, go to sleep. She buried her head in the quilt to try to give herself some peace of mind.

Tossing and turning until dawn, Yun Heng fell into a daze.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a vague and familiar scene.

Looking at the golden gauze couch, Yun Heng was suspicious: "Isn't this... the bedroom of the Qi Kingdom Palace?"

She looked around, and then looked down at herself and found that she was still wearing the palace concubine's nightgown.

What on earth is going on?

Just when she was confused and at a loss, she was suddenly hugged by the waist and fell back to the bed. Yun Heng saw Qi Youan again when the world was spinning.

No, it was Li He.

He was dressed in white and his black hair fell to his waist. At this moment, the exiled immortal was sleepily crawling into the girl's neck, sniffing her fragrance.

"My lady..." His eyes were filled with emotions as he spoke.

"Ah!" Yunheng was startled and woke up suddenly, and the wooden couch creaked.

She recovered and reached out to smooth her heaving chest.

Why did I have such a bizarre nightmare? She thought terrified.

It must be because I was scared by that stinky stone last night.

Yunheng's consciousness gradually returned, and the sound of flutes and shengs came faintly from outside the window. She pushed the window open and looked, but saw bright lights in the distance.

She realized that today was a big banquet. Although it was to entertain her and Li He, there was only one protagonist.

That was just right, anyway, she didn't like being in the spotlight.

In this case, why not follow the local customs.

Yunheng suddenly had an idea and changed into a colorful outfit of the fox tribe. She looked in the mirror and admired it by herself. At first glance, she looked no different from the fox tribe, the only difference was that she had no tail.

She followed the sound and walked to the ancient tree. She saw the towering tree hanging colorful decorations and the high platform under the tree. The paths extending in all directions all extended to the fox tribe market, and the whole fox tribe was shrouded in joy.

"You are here, I was just about to find you." Jinglian saw her trotting forward from a distance.

Yunheng was amused by his funny appearance: "What do you have on your head?"

Jinglian pulled the feathers on his head and smiled: "These are feathers from the wings of sparrows. Putting them on your head means good luck. You can see that every fox demon has one on his head."

Yunheng looked around and found that he was right, but the color, size and shape of the feathers on the head of each fox demon were different, all according to their own preferences and clothing.

"But aren't you from the fox tribe? Why do you wear bird feathers instead of fox feathers?"

"That's a long story..." Jing Lian continued, "It is said that thousands of years ago, when the old demon king was still there and the spiritual world was peaceful, the leader of our fox tribe fell in love with the leader of the bird tribe, and the two exchanged tokens.

The fox king gave her a fox tail, and the bird king gave her a sparrow feather. From then on, whenever there is a happy event, we will imitate different feathers and insert them on our heads to get good luck."

In fact, the greatest good luck that sparrow feathers bring is marriage. Jing Lian glanced at Yunheng and didn't say this.

Yunheng understood: "Then the bird tribe is wearing fox tails."

Jinglian laughed: "Maybe, but since the old demon king passed away hundreds of years ago, the spirit world has gradually become chaotic without a leader, and many tribes are eager to dominate the spirit world. Although the fox tribe and the bird tribe did not fight each other, they gradually became estranged and gradually stopped communicating." "

Demon King..." Yunheng learned some things about the spirit world when she was forced by the Ciyun Immortal God to read the Book of Ten Thousand Books when she was a child. The demon king in the spirit world is equivalent to the emperor of the fairy world. The demon king is not obtained by the struggle between races, but is recognized since birth.

It's just that the demon king is no different from other demons before the age of 200. After 200 years old, he will suddenly stimulate the characteristics of the demon king and then rule the spirit world.

But... the demon king has not been seen in the spirit world for a long time.

"Let's not talk about this. Do you want to choose one to wear on your head?" Jinglian took out various feathers.

Yunheng looked at it carefully and finally chose a red feather like Jinglian.

At this time, the sky was already stained with red.

Suddenly, a brilliant light appeared on the high platform, so bright that Yunheng raised her sleeves to cover her face.

"Here he comes." Jinglian whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, Yunheng put down her hand, and saw that the invisible Li He was being welcomed to the high platform like a star.

He also changed into a fox demon costume. He used to wear white clothes and looked dull. Now he changed into a fireworks-filled outfit, which made

people feel much more pleasing to the eye. Li He was pulled onto the stage very stiffly. There was a pile of firewood in the middle of the high platform that had not been lit.

The leader handed Li He a torch and held another torch in his hand. He shouted to the audience in high spirits:

"I believe everyone has known why our tribe is holding such a grand banquet today. Everything is to welcome the great benefactor of our tribe who saved me and my whole tribe, the immortal Li He who is beside me!"

Everyone in the audience applauded and shouted, and the sound was like a tide. Yunheng couldn't help but applaud and shouted with them: "Lihe! Lihe! Lihe!"

But seeing the man on the stage stiffen slightly, she felt very happy and smiled. She

had been like a stone all day, but today she finally had some human touch.

Then the leader said: "Not only that, our tribe has also welcomed a distinguished guest from the immortal tribe - Yunheng Immortal God!"

As he said that, the leader pointed at the girl who was still watching the excitement in the vast crowd.

Yunheng was confused.

Everyone looked at her in unison and shouted: "Yunheng! Yunheng! Yunheng!"

Even Jinglian beside him was cheering: "Hurry up and get on."

Yunheng wanted to refuse with a bitter face, but before she opened her mouth, she was pushed onto the stage by the crowd.

She accidentally made eye contact with the person on the stage, and she saw a joke in Lihe's eyes.

Yunheng silently said three words with her mouth: stinky-stone.

The other person's lips slightly raised.

The next second, Yunheng's hand was also stuffed with a torch exactly like his.

The leader explained, "Every time my fox tribe holds a banquet, a person of high moral character and prestige lights the sacred fire. Today, I will trouble you two."

Yunheng and Lihe understood what he meant. The two of them lit the fire on the left and right under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The flames soared into the sky.

After the ceremony, it was time to visit the market.

Yunheng saw the crowd dispersed and hurriedly jumped off the stage, but was still stopped by the person behind her.

"Where are you going?" Lihe stood in front of her.

Yunheng was about to lie and say that she was going back to her room to catch up on sleep, but she immediately realized that she had done nothing wrong. Lying would make her look like she was afraid of him, so she said bluntly, "I'm going to the rally."

Lihe's brows relaxed a little and said, "Can I..."

"No." Yunheng knew what he was going to say and quickly refused.

Lihe's eyebrows frowned again.

"Why is the Immortal God Li He still standing here? Do you want to join us at the fair?" Jing Lian invited with a smile.

"No, he's too busy..." Before she finished speaking, she had already dragged Jing Lian away at a rapid pace, as if there was a flood and beast behind her.

As she ran away, she vaguely heard a female voice behind her shouting "Immortal God Li He".

When she looked back, there were only dense crowds of people behind her.

I really don't want to chase him.

Yun Heng fiddled with the fox tail sold on the stall absent-mindedly. Jing Lian suddenly approached and said, "You and the Immortal God Li He are quite familiar with each other, but I saw that you seemed to be quite afraid of him today."

"I'm not!" Yun Heng quickly denied, "I'm not familiar with him anyway."

As she said that, she kept pulling the hair of the fox tail. The stall owner couldn't bear it and asked hesitantly, "Girl, do you want to buy it?"

Yun Heng realized that she had almost pulled out the imitation tail, so she had to buy this shapeless tail.

Seeing Yunheng was unhappy, Jinglian suggested to release river lanterns in the Spirit River. Countless river lanterns were floating on the ghost river, and they looked like stars from afar.

The riverside was full of foxes who came to pray for blessings, accompanied by men and women.

"Here, I'll give you one."

Yunheng took the river lantern, thinking about what wishes to write in the lantern.

Most of the demons prayed for peace in the spirit world and that the demon king would appear soon to lead the spirit world.

But as a fairy, she really couldn't think of any wishes.

Just as Yunheng looked up, she saw a familiar figure in front of her.

The person who said he wanted to travel with her a second ago was now standing side by side with a fox girl. The woman smiled like a flower, and her fox tail swayed behind her, and she was very close to Li He.

Li He had his back to Yunheng, so she couldn't see his expression clearly. She

only saw that the two were very close.

Yunheng suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and after staring at them for a few seconds, she turned her head away and didn't look at them.

"Hmph."

He can be with whoever he wants, as long as they don't bother her.

She lowered her head and wrote a few words casually and stuffed the note into the wick.

Be happy every day, just these four words.

After a while, Jing Lian also finished writing the note, and the two went to the river to release river lanterns.

"Hey, my good brother, what brings you here?" The woman next to Li He also walked towards them with a river lantern in her hand.

It turned out that she was Jing Lian's sister, Yingbo.

Yingbo looked at the rare woman next to her brother, gave him a look and smiled at Yunheng: "

I guess the girl is the immortal Yunheng. I have been in the East China Sea before and just returned to the spirit world yesterday. I apologize for not being able to entertain the immortal in time."

"No problem." Yunheng replied.

"Hey, sister, why are you with your benefactor?" Jing Lian raised his eyebrows.

"Since you said you are a great benefactor, I will naturally fulfill my duties as a good host and take you out for a good trip."

"Oh——" Jing Lian understood, he knew Yingbo was not such a warm-hearted person.

Jing Lian looked at Li He's face again.

No wonder his sister was so enthusiastic.

"Then what would your immortal partner think if they saw you being so enthusiastic?" Jing Lian asked jokingly.

"I don't have an immortal partner."

Li He finally spoke, his eyes turned to the girl beside him, but the girl just buried her head in holding the river lantern.

"Ah!" Jing Lian was shocked, he thought that a handsome man like Li He should have a great-grandson by now.

"Then according to the words of the human world, we are four old bachelors!"

Yun Heng, Li He, Yingbo: "..."
