Chapter 78 Swamp
The moonlight shone on the bluestone road, like sparkling water waves, and the shadows of mottled vegetation swayed in it. The wind brushed over the tip of Sang Xia's nose, making her sneezed several times in succession.

Qin Ming lifted her up: "Have you caught a cold?"

"No," she murmured, "Maybe someone is speaking ill of me behind my back. Brother, please let me down."

She jumped off his back lightly, put her hands behind her back and looked up at him to make him bow his head. Qin Ming didn't understand why he did so, and she smiled and took out an emerald-studded pupil from behind like a magic trick. A wolf-head mask, tiptoeing it onto Qin Ming's face.

"Senior brother is so good-looking, you have to wear the mask well." She had a mischievous smile on her face, "Otherwise you will be abducted by the spirit."

She touched his forehead with him, turned around and ran away with a smile.

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and pushed up the mask a bit. The girl was jumping lightly among those cascading upward steps, like a white deer in the forest, with skirts and hair tips rising and falling. He shook his head and laughed, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Afraid of disturbing Zhu Zhuqing, Sangxia unscrewed the door lightly, poked her head in but saw lights all over her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sitting on the edge of the bed with Tangyuan in her arms to smooth its fur absently. Only then did it shine.

"Why haven't you slept so late?" This made Sangxia a little surprised, because the elementary school girl has always had a regular schedule, and she didn't practice or sleep at this point today.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was not good at words, pursed his lips. If it was Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong here, he must have pounced on him and asked in detail what happened tonight. She really couldn't do this kind of thing, and after a long silence, she asked in a low voice: "Senior sister, is the Crescent Moon Festival fun?"

"It's okay, the fireworks are pretty good, but unfortunately there was an accident, so I didn't finish watching them." Sangxia took out the souvenirs bought for the younger generation from the bag, and took out the lacquer masks with gold and maki-e, the amulets carved with cypress wood and antlers, The finely crafted porcelain puppets are placed on the table one by one.

Zhu Zhuqing picked up a lady's porcelain doll with a soft and graceful silhouette, turned it over and saw a clear crack on it, and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah" with some distress.

"Let me see." Sang Xia also frowned, "I touched it by accident."

She dug out paints and tools from the desk, and sat at the desk to carry out the rescue work.

The rabbit candy painting brought to Xiao Wu also shattered and became a mess, so she had to eat it by herself.Holding a sugar stick in her mouth, she drew along the direction of the crack with a fine brush dipped in bright cinnabar, and painted the ugly crack into a plum branch with a slanting posture. The scattered red plum blossoms bloomed on the branch, like a lady. Beautiful embroidery on the skirt.

"Here." She returned the porcelain doll to Zhu Zhuqing, stood up and stretched, "After all, it's just paint, so be careful not to touch water in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing took the porcelain doll over carefully, unable to put it down.

But the glutinous rice balls were not happy anymore, it was heavy, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hold it securely with one hand, it was uncomfortable, so it twisted and got out of her arms, jumped on the table and raised its face to Sang Xia coquettishly "Meow" sounded.

Zhu Zhuqing's and Sang Xia's desks were side by side, when it jumped onto the table, it knocked off an open notebook on Zhu Zhuqing's desk, Sang Xia quickly picked it up, squatted down and picked up the notebook on the ground.

"Little villain." She tapped Tangyuan's nose, and when she handed the note back to Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes fell on the writing on it unexpectedly, and she raised her eyebrows.

It was the smeared schedule, the messy battle experience, and the names of all the participating teams in this soul master elite competition, connected by broken lines, and beside it were the forces represented by each academy.

The Landian Tyrannosaurus family, the Elephant Armor Sect, the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire...these mountainous and heavy names have laid out an intricate network of relationships, building the current power structure of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the contestants of each academy As the best group of young soul masters, it symbolizes the glorious future of the empire.

She looks at the present of this behemoth, and also examines its future.

"Have you come to a conclusion?" Sang Xia asked casually.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but followed his heart and made a slightly harsh evaluation: "There is no qualified superior."

They all looked like they were well-protected and empty-headed. If they were born in her family, they would have scattered their bones long ago. If the Heaven Dou Empire wants to entrust the future to such a group of people, I am afraid that the unification dream of the emperors of the Star Luo Empire will soon come true.

"The son of a thousand gold can't sit on the court, and the Tiandou imperial family is never known for its strength, so it won't put its future on the field to die." Sang Xia stroked the long hair of the glutinous rice balls one after another.

Zhu Zhuqing could tell that Sang Xia knew her and Dai Mubai's identities long ago, and she didn't try to hide them in front of her, and followed her words for a while, "You mean Prince Tiandou?"

"Maybe." Sang Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, "His younger brother is also quite interesting, you and Xiaobai should pay attention to him."

"Xue Beng?" Thinking of the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire who perfectly reflected the word "playboy", Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frowned, even though she was so convinced and blindly worshiping Sang Xia that she felt omniscient and omnipotent , but it is still difficult to agree with this evaluation, "That dude?"

"He's not as simple as he appears." Sang Xia shook her head and interrupted her, "Didn't you notice? He's been deliberately avoiding eye contact with people, which means he's trying to hide something for self-protection."

What is he hiding?Self-preservation?He is a prince, who can force him to pretend to be a waste?

Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought, and a moment later a chill penetrated her body like an icy electric current, making her obsidian-like clear and icy pupils tremble: "Emperor Xue Ye only has two sons who survived to adulthood... "

"That's right. If he didn't pretend to be like this, he would probably have died at the hands of his good brother." Sang Xia shrugged, with a hint of irony in the smile on his lips, "Compared to these things , even the beasts seem more human. It's disgusting."

"...Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing was actually "these things" in her mouth, but she had no intention of refuting, and the corners of her tightly pursed lips sneered, and she echoed softly, "It's disgusting."

Sang Xia patted Tangyuan's head to let it go back to the nest, and pushed open the window. It was late at night, and the cool evening wind came in from the window, and the wind was lingering with the faint fragrance of evening primrose and evening primrose.

"Go to sleep," she waved to Zhu Zhuqing, climbed over the guardrail of the window and sat on the window sill that protruded, "I'll watch the stars for a while."

The celebration of the Floating Moon Festival is not over yet, there are occasional fireworks dragging across the night, like a shooting star flying against the sky, blooming in the shining river of stars, the sky in the distance is still brightly lit, but Sang Xia feels that This city is like a huge swamp, colorful on the surface, but full of rancid and festering venom in the depths. Those people whose spines were broken by horseshoes were silently swallowed by this swamp and became it. New nourishment.

When it really wakes up, everyone will be overwhelmed by it.

She hugged her knees and curled up on the window sill, all the expressions on her face were gently peeled off like a mask, leaving only iron-like hardness and ice-like coldness, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, as if endless distant galaxies were silent and endless The dark sky of light is ignited by the fissioned stars, and the debris of stardust and flames splashes, unknown and lonely, shining across billions of light years, falling into the depths of a silent lake, and trying to create a new universe .
