Demon King's Wife

Chapter 261 I Come to Collect the Debt

Mu Ruoxin followed Chu Qingfeng, and finally came to a rock wall in a remote area.There is a secret room built in the rock wall, which is well-structured and extends in all directions. The walls are glowing with blue water droplets, and there is no need to light them. The inside is brightly lit all the time, like a dreamlike and mysterious place.

Just because it was too mysterious, Mu Ruoxin felt Xuan in her heart. The more she hung, the less she wanted to stay in this place. Her body was no longer cold, so she took off the blanket that Chu Qingfeng gave her and gave it back to him, "Thank you for the blanket, I'm not cold anymore, I'll give it back to you. This place is full of water spirit energy, I can recover my spirit energy after a short rest, and then you can take me out of here."

"Wait until you recover your spiritual power." Chu Qingfeng didn't mention the matter of leaving, and was vaguely procrastinating.

Mu Ruoxin knew that he meant to delay, but she couldn't use her spiritual power now, so she had to find a place to adjust her breath first, and then wait until her power was fully recovered, so it's better not to worry about Chu Qingfeng for the time being, and replied perfunctorily, "Then I'll just rest here."

Mu Ruoxin chose a relatively simple secret room, which was closer to the entrance. She had already memorized the way in, and it would not be a problem to go back the way she came. Even if Chu Qingfeng didn't take her out, she would be able to leave by herself.

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go out and have a look, before I come back, you must not wander around at will, so as not to stray into dangerous places." Chu Qingfeng respected Mu Ruoxin's decision, let her stay, and went out by himself Explore the news.

Every flower, every grass, every tree and every tree in the aquarium has water aura, even stones and houses are no exception. There is a scene full of water everywhere, like a piece of blue sea, beautiful, even at night, here There will be no darkness, and the water aura will emit blue light, illuminating every corner.

Just because there will be no darkness, it is extremely difficult to hide in the aquarium.

But for Chu Qingfeng, moving in the aquarium is a breeze. He can come and go freely from the small kitchen to the forbidden area.

Chu Qingfeng avoided all the people in the Shui tribe, and came to the kitchen quietly, wanting to bring something to eat for Mu Ruoxin, but there were people in the kitchen, so he had to hide in the corner outside the door, and then go in after someone left.

Everyone in the kitchen was busy making dinner, and sometimes a maidservant would come to bring out the prepared dishes.

The two maidservants were chatting in the kitchen, waiting for the dishes in the pot.

"Hey... the young master's temper has become even worse since he lost his martial arts. He has to swear and beat people every day. He almost killed people many times. I'm really worried that I will be the maid who will serve him in the next round."

"You're worried, so I'm not worried? The young master's servants have changed from batch to batch, and each batch is worse than the next. Xiao Liu is the worst. I heard that she accidentally poured tea on the young master. As a result, his hands were chopped off."

"Stop talking, the more you talk, the more afraid you become. I hope God will bless you, and don't let me serve the young master."

"Actually, it's understandable that the young master's temper is so bad. Anyone who falls into such a field will become like this. Now that the young master is already a useless person, the young master's position may be replaced by the second son. .”

"Hush...Aren't you afraid of death when you say this kind of thing? Stop talking and work."

"it is good."

Chu Qingfeng heard what the two maids said clearly outside, but he didn't feel much. He just smiled coldly and continued to wait patiently until everyone went out before entering the kitchen.

Almost all the prepared dishes in the kitchen were taken away, only the chicken soup squatting in the pot was still there.

Chu Qingfeng didn't think much about it, took the chicken soup away and gave it to Mu Ruoxin to drink, but he bumped into someone as soon as he left the kitchen door, and the person he bumped into was a big man.

Shui Rujing was hungry, and wanted to find something to eat in the kitchen, but unexpectedly ran into Chu Qingfeng, who fought violently as soon as he saw anyone, "Chu Qingfeng, quickly hand over Xuan Bingxin, the sacred object of my Shui Clan."

"Come and get it if you have the ability." Chu Qingfeng didn't take the water like a mirror into his eyes, held the hot chicken soup in both hands, turned into steam and left.

When Shui Rujing hit it, he missed it, only saw the scattered water vapor, but couldn't catch Chu Qingfeng's entity at all, and didn't know which direction he was going to escape, so he ordered people to search and arrest in the clan.

Shui Rutian is now a useless person, and his power in the clan is gradually weakening. Many people who used to be loyal to him have turned to Shui Rujing because of his uselessness, which makes him extremely resentful, so whatever Shui Rujing does He would object to it, just like hunting and arresting the clan, he would also object, "Father, my aquarium has a powerful barrier outside and various water aura defenses inside, it is impossible for outsiders to break in quietly. There must be someone who wants to seek utilitarianism and create something out of nothing."

"Father, my boy did indeed see Chu Qingfeng in the kitchen. From his appearance, he seems to be quite familiar with my aquarium, otherwise Xuan Bingxin would not be easily stolen by him. Father, please send someone to Hunting in the clan, just in case." Shui Rujing proceeded from the overall situation, so he insisted on hunting, not against Shui Rutian.

But Shui Rutian felt that Shui Rujing was against him, and he insisted on fighting to the end, "Father, even if Chu Qingfeng is really in the clan, he will take precautions because of this kind of aggressive behavior, and it will be even more difficult then." Get him."

The patriarch of the Shui tribe is a mature and stable middle-aged man, standing in a high position, with his back to his two sons, without saying a word, secretly thinking about what they said, analyzing in his heart which one is preferable, and only turning around when he made a decision, Seriously looking at his two sons, he said, "Ru Jing, I think what your elder brother said is reasonable. Chu Qingfeng was able to steal Xuan Bingxin from my aquarium, so he must have already been familiar with this place, and a large search would only scare the snake away."

"Father..." Shui Rujing still wanted to fight, but there was no reason to fight, and he could only worry in his heart.Even if they didn't startle the snake, they couldn't help Chu Qingfeng.

"Father, it's better to leave this matter to the child. If Chu Qingfeng is really in my aquarium, I will definitely find him out." Shui Rutian is also eager to make meritorious service, even if he becomes a useless person, he still has to do things. .

The head of the Shui clan looked at Shui Rutian sitting in the wheelchair, hesitantly, "This..."

Shui Rutian knew what his father was hesitating about, and said confidently: "Father, I have already thought of a way to capture Chu Qingfeng. As long as he is in the clan, I will definitely catch him. Please give me this chance."

"Since you are so sure, then I will leave this matter to you. Rujing, you assist your elder brother in doing things."

Shui Rujing sighed in her heart, even if she didn't want to, she still had to accept the job, "Yes, Dad."

"Someone came to report that the Sima family has been destroyed. We have to choose a new ally. Since Beichen Changri intends to cooperate with our Shui clan, why not..." After talking about Qingfeng, the Shui clan leader said something else, However, he was interrupted halfway through the speech.

Shui Rujing didn't agree with this approach, and objected, "Father, don't do this. Beichen Changri is a dangerous and cunning person. We have offended him many times when we cooperated with the Sima family before. There is no guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to take revenge. This person is untrustworthy. And more precautions must be taken.”

Shui Rutian is still the same, just wanting to sing against Shui Rujing, "Father, my son doesn't think so. The Sima family is gone, and in Beiyu country only the Beichen family is suitable for alliance. Although we have offended the Beichen family before, but that It's not direct. If the Beichen clan pursues it, we can put all the responsibility on the Sima family. Also, the barriers of all clans are constantly weakening, and their strength is also weakening. If there are no allies, if something happens If this happens, our Shui Clan will become like the Wood Clan, a barren land."

"What if Beichen fights back for a long time?"

"Rujing, you don't know Beichen Changri too well. As long as we don't harm his interests, or even make him profitable, he won't attack us."

"How can a person who is only interested in profit be trusted?"

"We don't trust him, we just use it. There is such a good chess piece that can be used, why not use it?"

After listening to the arguments of the two sons, the head of the Shui tribe made an analysis and made a decision, and then said, "Okay, without further ado, I will form an alliance with the Beichen clan. Rutian, I will leave this matter to you, remember Be careful. Beichen Changri is a man with a brain, not as stupid as the Sima family, a little profit is hard to satisfy them."

"Father, the child knows what to do." Shui Rutian was even more proud, and before leaving, he cast a provocative smile at Shui Rujing.Even if he loses all his martial arts, he will not be a useless person, and he will continue to sit in the position of the young master of the water clan.

Shui Rutian left, but Shui Rujing didn't leave, so he had a good talk with his father in private, "Father, the child really saw Chu Qingfeng, why don't you believe it? And Beichen Changri, he is like a scorpion that will eat at any time. A wolf who drops everything around him is unbelievable."

The patriarch of the Shui tribe walked down the stairs, came to Shui Rujing, put his hands on his shoulders, and said to him: "Ru Jing, I know that everything you say is reasonable, but you must do what your brother wants. "

"why?"

"Since Rutian's martial arts were abolished by the demon king, his temperament has become more irritable. If he is a little dissatisfied, he will throw a tantrum, and there is no room for negotiation. He is also afraid of being taken away from the position of young master. With his current situation It is no longer suitable to sit in this position. Rujing, you are all father's children, and father does not want to hurt any of them, but for the sake of the water tribe, father must make a correct choice. You must sit in the position of young master, and the water tribe is You must also take over the position of patriarch. But once you say this, your brother will definitely go crazy, and it is unknown what he will do at that time. Just in case, you must first stabilize him and wait for him to calm down Come down and talk to him again. He thinks that the decisions he made are all right, so we will let him find the mistakes by himself, and he can only accept the mistakes he found by himself."

"Father, it's because the child didn't think well and made you worry." After hearing these words, Shui Rujing was no longer annoyed, and her heart was filled with gratitude and respect for her father, as well as her intolerance for her elder brother.

Originally, all of this belonged to my brother, but now...

"Don't think too much, everything is God's will. When you take over the aquarium in the future, try to let your elder brother be more."

"Father, the child will."

"Go, do what you should do. Chu Qingfeng has already sneaked into the aquarium, and it is unknown where he is hiding. You should pay more attention."

"Yes." Shui Rujing left after receiving the order, but was blocked by Shui Rutian as soon as she got outside.

Shui Rutian was still getting carried away, thinking that his father was on his side, so he used this to mock Shui Rujing, "I'm still father's favorite successor, you have no chance."

"Brother, if you have nothing else to do, then I'll leave first." Shui Rujing didn't want to argue with Shui Rutian, and tried to let him do his best, as long as he did his own thing well.

"Are you trying to find Chu Qingfeng secretly?"

"Didn't dad just let us look for it together?"

"Wrong, Dad just asked you to help me, and didn't say let us be together, so you have to obey me. The Sima family was destroyed. I don't know the specific situation. I will send you out to investigate and find out. Feel free to contact Beichen Changri to discuss the alliance. It should not be too late, you should leave immediately and finish this matter as soon as possible." Shui Rutian deliberately got Shui Rujing out of the Shui Clan, so as not to let him get in the way here.

Only the Shui tribe does not have water like a mirror, and this is his world.

Shui Rujing remembered what his father said just now, don't fight with Shui Rutian, and obey orders, "Yes." He can finish this trivial matter in half a day, and it's not too late to rush back to the Shui Clan after finishing it.

Shui Rutian didn't think of things so simply. As soon as Shui Rujing left, he said to the people next to him: "Send the order down, be prepared, let him go and never return."

"Yes."

In the dark, Chu Qingfeng could clearly see what Shui Rutian said and did, but he didn't want to get involved, so he let the two brothers fight each other, went to the kitchen to find some food, and brought it back to Mu Ruoxin.

Shui Shengmu, adjusting breath in the Shui tribe can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. It only took half a day for Mu Ruoxin to recover, but she was so hungry that a cup of chicken soup was not enough to drink. She waited for Chu Qingfeng to find food for her.

She's just pregnant, isn't she eating too much?
Is it a freak?

"Bah, bah, look at my broken crow's mouth, what a freak, it's my good baby." Mu Ruoxin blamed her mouth, and touched her flat abdomen with both hands, feeling the life that was conceived inside, although there was nothing at all. She couldn't feel it, but she knew that there was a little life growing inside, "Baby, I don't know where your father is now? Should we go find him? But I am not familiar with the aquarium. If I don't escape, I will be caught by someone else." If you find it, what should you do?"

"Although this is the case, I can't spend it here all the time, can I?"

"Although that Chu Qingfeng saved me, I can't guess what he was thinking. Sometimes I think he is a friend, but sometimes I think he has other plans, which is really disturbing. Anyway, my skills have recovered , go out by yourself." After talking to herself, Mu Ruoxin picked up the water spirit ax on the table, followed the path in memory, and left the secret room, not waiting for Chu Qingfeng to come back.

She remembered that Chu Qingfeng brought her in from the south, so she said the exit should be in the south.

Mu Ruoxin walked south, and whenever she saw someone, she would find a place to hide and try not to touch anything, not even flowers and trees.The plants and trees here are mainly water spirits, and they won't obey her orders, so she doesn't expect them to help.

Walking from the south, when you reach the end, you are faced with a wall of water, and there is no way around.

"Oops, I seem to be lost. Ask Xiaofeng to find the way for me too." Mu Ruoxin had a flash of inspiration and summoned Huofeng, "Xiaofeng, help me find the exit, try to be careful, don't let anyone Discover."

"Yes, Master." After receiving the order, the fire phoenix flew to a high place, looking for an exit, but it couldn't find it after searching for a long time. All it saw was a piece of blue water, and there was no exit anywhere. If there is no result, go back and report, "Master, I didn't find it."

"That's right, the exits of the five clans all have mysteries, and it's not that easy to get out. If they could be seen with the naked eye, people from outside would have already entered." Mu Ruoxin waited for a long time at the same spot, until the news brought by Huofeng , although a little disappointed, but also know it is reasonable.

"Master, it seems that someone is coming over there."

"Which side?"

"there."

"Where should I hide?" Mu Ruoxin looked around and chose a place to hide, but there was no place to hide here, only the dense grass.

Forget it, just hide in the grass.

Mu Ruoxin didn't think much, and hid in the grass, but she regretted it once she got in.

The grass in the aquarium is all water blue, and it contains the power of water spirits. Once it touches an object that is not water spirits, it will change, and the grass and vines will grow long and entangle the enemy.

Mu Ruoxin was entangled by grass and vines, and couldn't break free no matter what, but at this time the wooden bracelet couldn't be used, and many tools inside couldn't be taken out.

By the way, she still has a water spirit ax in her hand, and she almost forgot about this good thing.

Mu Ruoxin cut off the grass and vines wrapped around her body with a water axe, and then threatened the grass with the axe, "If you dare to mess around again, I'll cut you all down."

Cao Teng seemed to be afraid of the water spirit axe, and didn't dare to attack Mu Ruoxin anymore, so he stayed obediently.

The grass is obedient, and it is safe for Mu Ruoxin to hide inside. He secretly sees who is coming, but what he sees is Shui Rujing.

What is this guy doing here?
Shui Rujing walked to the water wall, stopped, and seemed to sense something was wrong, looked carefully at the Western Zhou Dynasty, and saw nothing wrong, the surrounding vegetation was lush and there was no abnormality, which was enough to show that there were no outsiders here.

Could it be that he thinks too much?

Maybe he thought too much.

Shui Rujing put away her wild thoughts and drew a circle on the water wall with the power of water spirit. After drawing, the circle became an exit.

"Wow... so the exit is here." Mu Ruoxin accidentally made a small sound because of surprise.

Although the voice was very small, Shui Rujing still heard it, and immediately looked along the place where the voice came from. An ice sword had condensed in his hand, and asked the person hiding in the grass, "Who is in there? Come out for me. "

Mu Ruoxin knew she couldn't hide anymore, so she didn't hide at all, she stood up directly, facing the water like a mirror, "It's me."

Seeing Mu Ruoxin, Shui Rujing was so surprised that his eyeballs almost fell out, he didn't believe what he saw at all, and thought it was dizziness, but after looking carefully, he realized that there was no dizziness, "It's you, why are you here?" here?"

"Hehe, it's hard to say. Well, do you mind taking me out?"

Shui Rujing didn't answer right away, and then looked at Mu Ruoxin carefully, and saw the Shui Ling ax in her hand, she frowned, and the expression on her face changed, becoming very vigilant, "What are you doing in Shuizu? Why is the ax in your hand?"

"This Water Spirit Ax was given to me by Sima Xiang. I didn't steal it or snatch it. As for why I'm here, it's really hard to say. Anyway, I didn't come here on purpose, believe it or not?"

"..."

"Well, I don't even believe it myself, how could you believe it? But I can swear to you, I didn't do anything to you aquariums, let alone take anything from you, I promise."

"You have violated the taboo of the aquarium by appearing here."

"Why do you want to arrest me?" Mu Ruoxin had no choice but to show his majesty, intending to be tough.She has recovered her skills, and she is not afraid to stand with Shui Rujing. Although this is an aquarium, the water is full of aura, which is beneficial to Shui Rujing, but her strength is not blocked.

Seeing Mu Ruoxin exuding a strong fighting spirit, Shui Rujing suddenly remembered the previous injury, and did not dare to fight her lightly, but he was also prepared to take precautions and prepare for the battle, "Why did you come to the Shui clan?"

"I'm here to collect debts, so it's okay to say that. You aquariums still owe me a hundred crystal stones! You haven't given them to me until now. It's really unbelievable. It was agreed that you would send them to my door, but in the end even There is no one to see, are you not afraid of breaking your promise and getting fat?"

"I……"

"Since you don't give me the crystal stone, then I'm the worst! This is the exit, right?"

Mu Ruoxin wanted to go out when Shui Rujing was not paying attention, but was stopped by him when he was about to leave.

However, at the same time, dozens of ice swords flew not far away, all of which were shot at Shui Rujing.
