Fop In Town Chapter 4

Liam hadn't come for several days, and the servants in the Fox King's Mansion missed him:

"Why didn't you come again? It's been a few days."

"Yeah, I didn't feel that way when I came every day, but now that I'm not here anymore, I really feel a little lonely."

"Yes, it's fine, why don't you come?"

He took out the gemstone that the young master had given him a few days ago and looked at it. He kept thinking about taking it out and wiping it. The smooth surface could be used as a mirror. It was so big. One day, he would make a gold chain to match it. It should be as thick as a finger. Ah Hong would be very happy to see it. If she was happy, she might agree to marry him and give birth to a big fat boy next year. How wonderful. He opened his mouth and blew a breath. He wiped it with his sleeve. It was spotless, reflecting the golden eyes of the fox king.

"Scared..." His hand trembled, and the bead almost fell. His knees fell to the ground and trembled. My king, how long have you been standing here?

"There's no water in the pot." Leo handed over a teapot. The servant took the pot and ran towards the tea room as if escaping. He didn't see Leo who was still standing there in a daze.

It took me a long while to go back to the study and sit down again. I had only read a few documents in the whole day, but I couldn't concentrate. I was used to the low sound of grinding ink in my ears, and it was so quiet without it that I felt uneasy. My mind was as blank as this room. I was thirsty and wanted to drink some tea. I lifted the lid of the bowl and found that the cup was empty. I went to find the teapot, but not a drop of water came out. I wanted to open the door and call for someone, but the words "Why didn't you come?" came into my ears. I stopped immediately and couldn't say a word.

Yesterday, Black Donkey came to complain. He had been grinding soybean milk for the whole day, but he just went out to smoke some opium. When he came back, the young master of Logan was drinking happily in the room with a group of little demons. Not only that, but everyone poured a large bottle. There was still some left, and a seal was pasted on the bottle mouth, saying that it was kept for drinking in a few days. What did he do to attract him?

He was not very happy in the first place, and he became even more angry after hearing this. He did not send anyone, but went to catch him himself and beat him up in front of everyone. Somehow, he lost control of his attack. If the elders had not heard the news and rushed over to persuade him, who knows how bad the beating would have been. Logan had become a human, like a human child. He did not cry out in pain even when he bit his lip, and stared at him with a pair of pale golden eyes wide open.

Only after he stopped did she speak: "Just live your boring life alone with your coffin face!" with a resentful tone.

My heart trembled, something sharp pierced into me, the pain spread bit by bit, and spread all over my body with the blood. The pain was more obvious when I closed my eyes at night. I was confused when I woke up in the morning, as if I was in a thick fog, I didn't want to see anything, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

The elders had come to him many times to discuss the matter of fighting the fence: "Mason and Mia, Quinn and his brothers... Wait, look at the human world and the heaven, where are there brothers with such a deep hatred like you? Not to mention that there is no grudge, just based on the current situation of relying on each other, they should be very close, how did it become like this? Your father took your mother to travel, he is the only relative around you, you should think about it carefully..."

I was shocked by the word "only relative", and then I realized that there was really no one around me, and I couldn't even talk to anyone.

The servant hurried in with tea: "King, something big has happened!"

The Tiger Tribe's banquet lasted for three days, and in the next few days, they went to several places in succession, to Xavier, Max, Mason, the Wine Fairy, the Barefoot Fairy... drinking, playing, joking, and indulging. They dared to go back only when they were drunk, and ran out immediately after they sobered up, otherwise they would feel empty in their hearts and numb, and even twitching the corners of their mouths would be tiring.

Occasionally during the banquet, someone mentioned Leo, and my ears pricked up unconsciously.

"Ah, that Fox King..." people responded, and then the topic changed.

He turned his head and found Max looking at him. Afraid that he might notice something, he opened the fan to cover the smile that was about to appear on the corner of his mouth.

While drinking that day, Mason's followers rushed in and whispered something in his ear. With a "bang", the cup in Mason's hand fell to the ground and shattered. He stood up and walked out without saying goodbye. Before getting drunk, Liam clearly remembered that Mason did not come back.

The next day, just as she stepped into the back mountain, she heard from the goblins' buzzing discussions that something big had happened to the snake clan. Mia was afraid that the bite had destroyed her inner elixir, and her soul and body were destroyed.

The demon world has no leader, and each tribe is independent. Whenever there is a major event, the kings are invited to discuss and decide. This is the case with Mia. Falling in love with a mortal is not a crime, but murdering a person must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others. According to the law, this requires the gathering of all tribes, destroying their inner elixir and soul in public, and making them never reincarnate. However, the snake king Mason is very manipulative. He turned the originally unquestionable matter into "let the kings discuss and decide".

The kings all went along with it and sold their favors, and Leo didn't say anything. The elder came to ask, after all, they still had some friendship, did he want to go to the prison to take a look? Leo said yes, his face was still calm, neither sad nor happy.

A white figure stood quietly outside the fence, the candlelight flickered, and the fence dragged one black shadow after another on the ground, covering the thin body inside, like another shackle.

Mia slowly raised her head: "I didn't expect that the arrogant Fox King would come to see me."

Her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. Her messy bun was loose, with only a small, faded flower inserted diagonally on top. The edges of the petals were curled up, showing a little bit of withered yellow. She was wearing a dress with small flowers on a white background, rough homespun cloth, and patches on her elbows, just like a village woman. She should have been very clean before, but now she was in a mess due to the torture, with large patches of black and red blood stains, several cuts on her face, and blood streaks at the corners of her swollen mouth. Only her eyes were still so clear in black and white, with a natural lively charm at the corners of her eyes.

Mia, the precious princess of the snake clan, the most praised beauty in the demon world. There is often a thin golden flower seal in the shape of a plum blossom on her forehead, and purple hibiscus flowers blooming on her brocade white shirt. When she looks around, countless people come to her and bow down to her skirt. Even such a pampered princess, no one likes her, and she gives herself to a crude and stupid butcher in the mortal world.

She frightened so many people, crushed so many infatuated hearts, washed away all the makeup, bid farewell to wealth, and with a turn, the beauty secretly married Zhang the butcher.

"He... treats me very well... very well..." She raised her hand to gather her hair, touched the flower, took it off and put it in front of her eyes, "He is a very honest man. He always remembers to pick a flower for me when he walks on the street, and he is so careful when he brings it home... Silly, you want jewelry? I didn't have anything before. Why would I want a wild flower?"

"He was a big, strong man who didn't let me do anything, such as washing clothes, cooking, and feeding chickens. He was worried about me. He didn't even care if the neighbors laughed at him. The more people laughed at him, the happier he was..."

She slowly stretched out her hand, and on her finger was a thin ring, a simple circle without any pattern. It was dim under the candlelight, not as dazzling as gold: "He gave me this, it's made of copper, and he saved it for a long time. He has a blind mother to support, and the old lady is often sick, and it costs a lot of money to buy medicine. He said that when life gets better in the future, he will definitely buy me a gold one, the best-looking one in the jewelry store... You are such an idiot, gold or copper doesn't matter, as long as the thought is there."

He stared at the ring infatuatedly: "So what if he is a rough guy? So what if he is poor? So what if he is ugly? So what if he is a butcher? So what if I secretly get engaged to him? My brother can't control him, so how can it be your turn to control him?"

Suddenly he started laughing again: "Really? Why am I telling you this? You don't understand."

"You committed murder." Leo said.

Mia put down her hand and looked at Leo dimly: "I want to be with him... I want to give him a child, he also wants a child, how can I not give him what he wants? But I am a demon... If I were a mortal, it would be fine."

It is impossible for a demon to have children if it is combined with a human, and if a demon wants to become a mortal, it must eat 99 human hearts alive. This method is too cruel and has always been despised by the demon world. It is also the most serious crime among all serious crimes.

The fact that Mia married a mortal was kept secret from everyone until a series of people were disemboweled and had their hearts ripped out and died mysteriously. The Heavenly Court and the Demon Realm only then noticed it and notified Mason to bring Mia back to be punished. But now, the mistake had been made and could no longer be undone.

"It is a capital crime."

"If you don't gamble, how can you know whether you win or lose?"

Leo said nothing more and turned to walk out.

"Do you know? Even if there are a thousand things in this world that are unattainable, living an ordinary life can be a kind of happiness." Mia whispered from behind.

Leo did not stop, his silver hair and white clothes made him look even lonelier in the darkness.

Because of Mia's matter, no one was in the mood to drink, so Liam went to Tianchong Mountain.

He pushed the door open and walked in, but was surprised to see Ethan also sitting in the courtyard where Wesley lived.

"My uncle is here too?" Liam bowed hurriedly.

"Yeah." Ethan responded and got up and left.

"What's wrong? Who made my uncle angry?" Liam sat down, feeling that Ethan's expression just now was a little ugly.

"Nothing." Wesley smiled, "Why? What do you want to talk about today? Or the Fox King from last time?"

I just told him some things about Mia, but I finished it in just a few words, and the rest was just lowering my head and drinking tea.

"Anything else?" Wesley refilled his cup with water. "You didn't come here just to ask for some tea, did you?"

"Yeah." Liam smiled, opened his fan and fanned himself comfortably, "I just came to ask you for some tea."

"Second Prince, there is a limit to everything. If you are not sincere, don't ask for others' sincerity." Wesley said. He was smiling, but his black eyes were full of tears.
