Wisps of green smoke curled up from the incense burner and drifted faintly in the hall, filling the whole hall with an elegant fragrance.
Qin Yu sat in front of the desk, handling the documents on the desk. As the Prince of the demon realm – the future Demon Emperor, it is naturally impossible for him to do nothing. It is one of his responsibilities to assist Qin Yuan in handling some official affairs.
Qin Yu took a document, opened it and read it carefully with a sinking heart. After reading the whole article, he had a train of thought. He dipped his pen into the ink and swiped in the blank space of the document.
Ink poured from the tip of the pen, and then smooth and beautiful characters appeared on the paper one by one. And the most astonishing thing is that the hand holding the pen is actually three points whiter than the paper. From a distance, it looks like a finely crafted work of art, without any flaws.
After writing the last word, Qin Yu closed it, put it aside casually and went to get another copy, while Jiao Yi who was accompanying him neatly stacked the documents he had processed into a pile.
He had just picked up a document and hadn’t read it yet when Qin Yu suddenly heard a crisp bird song coming from ahead.
Putting down the pen, he saw a blue bird standing on the flower branch in front of the window, tilting its head and looking into the room.
“Jiao Yi.”
“The subordinate understands.”
Jiao walked up to the window and stretched out his hand, the blue bird flapped its wings and flew to his finger, and he presented it to Qin Yu.
As soon as Qin Yu received it, the little bird turned into an elegant letter with a faint fragrance. The letter was written with the words “Dear Qin Yu” and Lin He was signed at the bottom.
Qin Yu opened it, glanced at it and threw it aside. It was some kind words, but kept a certain degree in the middle, so that it would neither appear that the owner was too eager, enthusiastic nor too formal. Reading the letter will only make people feel that they are the special one in the other party’s heart.
Really caring, Qin Yu snorted coldly.
This is not the first letter he has received. Although he and Lin He haven’t met each other during this period of time, they often communicate in writing. The leading party is of course Lin He. Sometimes he also sent people to send some gifts.
From all aspects, Lin He attaches great importance to Qin Yu and is considerate.
But when he thought of his purpose, it made people unhappy.
“Host?” The system, which hadn’t spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“Huh?” Qin Yu responded.
“I suddenly thought of a question.”
“Say it.”
The system thought about it and said, “It stands to reason that you have already expressed trust in Lin He. Why does he insist on getting your love? He…” The system paused, looked at Qin Yu’s face and continued, “Isn’t he doing this for the purpose of gouging out your dragon pill?”
Qin Yu smiled, “Then have you ever wondered why Lin He chose me? Even though the number of dragons in the demon world is rare, there are still some. Why do you think he chose me?”
“Yeah, why?” The system became even more curious.
“Because,” Qin Yu said leisurely, leaning on the back of the chair, looking at a certain point in the void, “There are prerequisites.”
“Prerequisites?”
“That’s right, the premise is that not all dragon pills can heal human flesh and bones, only the dragon pills that have been gouged out by the loved ones of the master of the dragon pill have this ability.”
It’s a horrific premise for literally sticking a knife in a lover’s chest. Qin Yu took a sip of tea, the temperature of the tea was just right, which just soothed his mood.
He went on to say, “Mo Lin is the white moonlight that Lin He has not had time to express his heart to in the past, and the dragon pill is related to Mo Lin’s life. He will not rest assured that this matter will be entrusted to others and he will only go to battle in person. As a fairy, Lin He is arrogant and superior, so naturally he won’t fall in love with just any person from the dragon clan, and the most suitable person to choose is me, the prince of the demon realm.”
“Hiss!” The system sucked in a sharp breath, “Lin He is really calculating.”
Qin Yu closed his eyes, looked at the swaying reflection in the tea and thought, even if he has all kinds of schemes, he will not succeed in this life.
***********
“Big or small?” Sun Ren pressed the dice cup with one hand, propped the table with the other and asked the person on the other side of the gambling table with his head raised.
Lu Meng lay on the table, staring, staring at the dice cup motionlessly, wishing to see the situation inside clearly through the outside. Jia Yi’s hands were trembling uncontrollably and his whole body also tended to start trembling.
At this time, if anyone else was present, they would be shocked to see the two of them. Because they no longer had the domineering air of the past, their eyes were sunken, bloodshot and their faces were blue-gray, as if they had been sucked dry of their vitality.
Lu Meng clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and said, “Big!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“No more changes?”
“Don’t change, don’t dawdle!”
“Okay.” Sun Ren lifted the dice cup according to his words and the three dice added up to 7 points, “Oh, they are small.” Sun Ren shook his head regretfully.
On the other side, when Jia Yi saw the result, he immediately staggered and fell to the ground. After he fell, he tried his best to support his upper body up, with both hands tightly grasping the hem of Lu Meng’s robe. His eyes were red, his voice was shrill and vicious as he asked Lu Meng, “Why didn’t you change it?”
“It’s so annoying! You want to change it, why don’t you do it yourself?” Lu Meng was also in a bad mood, and after being questioned by Jia Yi, his bad mood worsened.
“Don’t quarrel, you two, why don’t you think about the bet first?” Lu Meng wanted to make a move, but when he heard Sun Ren’s words, he was instantly discouraged.
Jia Yi’s face turned even greener, “Are you cheating?”
Sun Ren’s expression became serious and then he said with a smile on his face, “Immortal Jia, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can’t talk indiscriminately! Besides, haven’t you already checked it?” He blew on his nails, “Also, you have won a lot of times. Every time you win, I remind you to stop. It’s because you are greedy. I can’t help you!”
“Sorry.” Jia Yi apologized, he said it because he was in a bad mood for losing, the other party was indeed right, they had won many times these days.
However, in the last game, they exported almost everything and it can be said that they have nothing, so it is really difficult to maintain their sanity. “Can’t we discuss it?” Lu Meng’s heart was bleeding, it was what he had accumulated after he came to the fairy realm and asking him to give it all up was more uncomfortable than killing him.
“You two want to renege on your debt?” Sun Ren twitched his lips.
Lu Meng and Jia Yi’s expressions were extremely ugly.
“But…” Sun Ren said suddenly, “Jia Yi, what do you think a gambler is thinking? You could stop the loss in time if you’d stopped but you wanted to continue gambling, so you lost everything.” Sun Ren asked calmly, looking at the sky outside the window .
“Because, I’m not reconciled.” Jia Yi said, “Yeah, I’m not reconciled.” I always felt that I would definitely win the next round.
“But what?” From Sun Ren’s words, Lu Meng heard a turning point, he must not let it go.
“I have a condition. As long as you can help me complete it, I can return all the things you lost.”
“What is the condition? Say it!” Lu Meng looked at Sun Ren with burning eyes. As long as he can get back the things he lost, no matter what the conditions were, he will agree.
“Yes, tell me quickly.” Jia Yi also regained hope.
“The condition is…” Sun Ren glanced at the eager expression of the two and laughed secretly, “The condition is that I want a jasmine grass. Do you know what jasmine grass is?”
If you ask others, they may really be unaware, however, Lu Meng and Jia Yi really happened to know about it.
Although the jasmine grass has cursive characters, it will also bloom and its flowers are extremely beautiful. More importantly, the whole body of the jasmine grass is a treasure and the pills made from it can greatly improve people’s cultivation.
But jasmine grass is extremely rare and most people don’t even know of its existence. They only found out after Mo Lin sent a few seedlings to Lin He.
If they remember correctly, there should be one in Lin He’s Immortal Mansion, after all, Lin He always cherishes the things Mo Lin gives to him very much.
“However, although the elixir refined from jasmine grass can improve cultivation, the refining process is extremely complicated. Are you sure you want this?”
The refining of jasmine grass is not easy, and it is not bad if it succeeds twice out of ten times. The more evil point is that eating it raw is useless. Although he hasn’t gotten it yet, Lu Meng is already determined to get it and even worried about the other party’s problems.
Sun Ren smiled, “Yes, I want this, you don’t need to worry about the rest.”
“It’s a deal.”
He wanted to rush to Lin He’s Immortal Mansion, and hurriedly fetch the jasmine grass and hand it to Sun Ren, so that he could get back all that he had lost.
But when he thought about the few times he went there previously, he couldn’t even go in, so he was a little frustrated.
“Then shall we go?” Jia Yi was also quite confused.
“Go, of course.” Lu Meng stomped his feet angrily. It was a matter of his own interests, so how could he not go.
They didn’t notice that as soon as they stepped out, Sun Ren hurried to the backyard with a flattering smile.
*************
“Successful.” After Jiao Yi received the secret report, he reported to Qin Yu in a low voice.
“Then, it’s time for us to go.” Qin Yu brushed his sleeves and got up.
Why don’t gamblers stop in time?
It’s not just because of unwillingness or greed.
However, being too greedy will bring disaster to their lives.
Qin Yu will teach them this truth.
