Chapter 28 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
It’s raining, and the heavy rain suddenly fell amidst a burst of thunder. The rainwater pattered on the roof and on the streets, and the sound was disturbing.
Yun Xi, who was looking at the map, raised his head and looked outside. The heavy downpour quickly wetted the roof, and the rainwater flowed down from the eaves, like a curtain made of water.
The rain was not unexpected, but Yun Xi would inevitably worry about Ye Nianhan and Xiao Lingyuan when she saw the heavy rain. Even if she knew they would not get wet from the rain, she could think of how they were resisting the rain under the sky.
, my heart will still feel distressed.
She put away the map, stood up and said, "You guys wait for me here for a while, I'll go find Xiao Yuan'er and the others and ask something."
Bai Qing and Niu Wenhua didn't know what she was planning, but they had no objections. They just nodded and reminded: "Don't be too late."
"Don't worry."
Yun Xi paused when she walked to the door, then turned to look at them and reminded: "Don't eat my bowl of noodles secretly!"
The little fox hugged its two front paws, raised its head and chest, with a dissatisfied look on its face: "This person is so stingy!"
Yun Xi grinned, revealing eight beautiful, white teeth: "Remember to pay for me."
"Go to hell!"
The little fox's angry scolding shocked everyone else in the restaurant, but no one dared to lose their temper.
There are so many foxes in the world, and not everyone can recognize the snow fox, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Judging from the fact that Bai Qing can speak human words, this monster is not something ordinary people like them can afford to offend.
of.
After walking out of the restaurant, Yun Xi's spiritual veins stirred, and the spiritual power revealed surrounded her, and then she flashed and flew into the distance.
Guyan City is not that big, and Yun Xi arrived at the construction site in just tens of seconds.
It is raining heavily, and a barrier has been deployed in the construction site to block the rain so that work can continue. The maintenance of this barrier would consume too much if spiritual crystals were used, so it is all done by spiritual cultivators.
Monsters and humans take turns changing shifts.
At this time, the person responsible for maintaining the barrier is the spirit person of the demon clan, while Xiao Lingyuan and the others are resting aside, waiting for their shift to change. It seems that the matter of Xingchen Iron has been decided for the time being.
Seeing Yun Xi coming, Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan both came over.
Xiao Lingyuan asked: "Xiao Xi, where did you go just now?"
Yun Xi said: "Looking around, I would like to ask, are there any signal towers under construction in Ancient Eagle City?"
Xiao Lingyuan nodded: "Yes, the progress over there is a little slower than ours."
Ye Nianhan seemed to understand Yun Xi's thoughts. She looked around and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xi, do you think that thief might go to other cities to continue stealing star iron?"
Yun Xi nodded: "Then a piece of star iron can only forge some small objects. If that person is still greedy, he will probably steal more star iron. I want to try my luck."
Ancient Eagle City is some distance away from Guyan City, but this distance is actually not that far for Yun Xi, and one day is enough for a round trip.
Ye Nianhan and Xiao Lingyuan also know that it is extremely difficult to find anything useful within limited clues. The best way at the moment is to wait and see, maybe they can catch that guy.
Xiao Lingyuan said: "Then you come back early, it's just a piece of star iron."
As staff here, they cannot leave.
Yun Xi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
……
After saying a brief farewell to Xiao Lingyuan and the others, Yun Xi returned directly to the small restaurant.
"Come back so soon?"
The little fox raised his eyes when he saw Yun Xi, who had disappeared for less than five minutes.
They haven't even met yet.
"I'm just telling you about my next itinerary. It won't take long."
"Itinerary? Are you planning to go somewhere else?"
Yun Xi said: "Guying City, are you going?"
When Yun Xi opened the map just now, they also looked at it for a while, and they still had an impression of this city located not far from Guyan City.
Bai Qing said: "Go! Why don't you go? But why do you want to go there suddenly?"
"There is also a signal tower being built in Furutaka Castle."
Yunxi and Niu Wenhua suddenly understood.
"Do you think that person will also steal the Star Iron from Ancient Eagle City?"
"There is a possibility."
Yun Xi and the others arrived quietly. Until this morning, the only people who knew they were here were Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan.
Niu Wenhua asked: "Isn't it possible that that person is someone from within Guyan City? Cities in the Demon Realm are usually a mixed bag of good and bad, and it is quite normal for some spiritual cultivators to mix in."
Yun Xi said: "It's because there are too many possibilities, so I have to choose one. At least for now, he won't have any ideas in Guyan City's warehouse."
She is not a god, and it is impossible to deduce anything from the information that seems to be true, but it doesn't matter if she deduce it, she has to take action.
"Here comes the noodles. Please use them with your courtesy, three distinguished guests!"
The waiter brought the noodles and placed them on the table.
Yun Xi took a bowl and tasted it briefly. After finding that the taste was not unpleasant, she continued to eat.
The noodles were a bit hot, so Yun Xi didn't eat them quickly. When she was about to finish the noodles, a spiritual energy flashed outside the room. She looked up and saw a figure flying in through the rain.
The person who came was none other than her best friend Xiao Lingyuan.
Xiao Lingyuan came over as soon as she saw Yun Xi: "Xiao Xi, I finally found you. I thought you had already set off."
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xi's tone was a little confused.
Xiao Lingyuan said quickly: "Just now, the city lord of Guyan City passed on the news of the theft of the Star Iron, and found that Guyan City was not the only place where the Star Iron was lost. The Ancient Eagle City you are planning to go to has already been stolen three days ago.
Lost the star iron."
"Eh???"
Yun Xi made a surprised sound.
Xiao Lingyuan said: "After inquiry, there are currently three cities in the Phoenix Territory that have lost star irons. Guyan City, Ancient Eagle City, and Huaqing City are all cities in this nearby area."
The cities of the Monster Clan are all connected through sound transmission stones. The cost of transmitting messages through sound transmission stones is not small. Therefore, in order to save resources, everyone will try to use such long-distance sound transmission stones as little as possible. This also leads to Guyan
After the Star Iron had been stolen, the city only received news that someone was stealing the Star Iron recently.
The little fox raised his face buried in the bowl of noodles and gloated: "Oh haha~ It seems that I met a professional thief."
Yun Xi immediately glanced at it and asked: "Are there any other nearby cities with star iron? I'll go over and have a look."
Xiao Lingyuan shook her head helplessly: "No more."
Although the overall area of the Demon Realm is large, there are not many cities here, and the reliance on technology is not so strong. After all, for the entire Demon Clan, the proportion of demons that can transform is still too small. They are not like humans.
, you can already learn to play with mobile phones at the age of three or four.
Therefore, there are not many cities in the Demon Realm. Most of them are small towns scattered in various places. These small towns have not yet built signal towers. Even if they are built, they will not use something as luxurious as the Star Iron.
Suddenly losing her target, Yun Xi couldn't help showing a disappointed expression.
"What did the demon clan say?" she asked.
"Three pieces of star iron were stolen. The person in charge of the Lanfeng tribe was naturally angry. I heard that they would personally send people to investigate. At present, the star iron in other cities has been carried by the city lords, and now there are
The blacksmith shop and the purchasing channels for star iron have begun to be controlled. Unless the thief can forge weapons himself, as long as he sells star iron or forges weapons, he will not be able to escape the hands of the Lanfeng tribe." p>
After a pause, Xiao Lingyuan added: "But according to my estimation, that person should choose to deal with these star irons in the realm of other heavenly beasts. Three pieces of star iron are enough to build a decent weapon.
So..."
As long as that person is smarter, it is basically impossible to catch him.
Yun Xi understood what Xiao Lingyuan meant, and she sighed softly: "Okay, I understand."
"Well, I'll go there first. The rain won't stop for a while. Nianhan and I won't be back until evening."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Watching Xiao Lingyuan rush into the rain, Yun Xi's eyes were misty.
"What are you thinking about? Are you really so persistent?"
Bai Qing looked at Yun Xi who was a little distracted and asked.
Yun Xi shook her head and said: "It's not that I'm persistent, it's just that I finally came all the way to see Xiao Yuan'er and the others, but to encounter something like this, I feel a little uncomfortable. Forget it, let's go back."
It was raining heavily outside, and it was impossible for them to see any scenery, and there was no need to go to Ancient Eagle City now. The only option now was to go back to the inn and have a good rest.
Walking into the rain curtain, they returned to the inn after a while despite the heavy rain.
"Boss, open a room."
It’s raining heavily outside, so there are more people coming to rent a room at this time.
Yun Xi put her hands in her pockets and walked upstairs. Since she had already shown her identity at the construction site, she just walked in openly and was noticed by many people.
Eyes followed Yun Xi all the way up, and many people were attracted by her beauty.
When passing by the counter, Yun Xi suddenly slowed down a little, then continued walking forward, returning to Ye Nianhan's room.
When she pushed the door open, Yun Xi paused slightly and subconsciously turned her head and glanced back, but saw nothing.
She frowned and walked into the room.
"What's wrong?"
After Yun Xi closed the door, Bai Qing asked aloud.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said softly: "I don't know why, but I always felt like someone was following me when I just went upstairs."
"Is someone following you? Are you sure? I didn't even notice it."
Although Bai Qing's realm is not as good as Yun Xi's, it believes that its spiritual consciousness must be sharper than Yun Xi's. If someone is following it, it will not be able to detect it.
Yun Xi wanted to say something more, but when she thought of the purpose of her trip, she had already wasted half a day today and could no longer put the cart before the horse, so she said, "Forget it. Aren't you bored? Let me introduce you to a few games to play.
”
When the little fox heard this, his narrow eyes immediately narrowed, and his smile was particularly healing: "You should have been like this a long time ago!"
Yun Xi's fingers slipped, and a complete deck of playing cards jumped out.
"Come on, let's play poker with you first!"
……
In the evening, the already dark sky became darker. Yun Xi, who was already tired from playing, did not continue with Bai Qing and the others. The two beasts did not continue to disturb her, but returned to her room to rest. p>
Yun Xi sat alone in the room, looking out the window. The rain was lighter than in the afternoon, but still very heavy. Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan hadn't come back yet. There was no sound in the room. The sound came from outside. It was the sound of rain.
.
Inexplicable loneliness.
‘Are those wives who are at home waiting for their husbands to come back even feel this way?’
Yun Xi suddenly thought of this question and immediately smiled. What does it have to do with her? She didn't have a wife in her previous life.
Walking to the bed, Yun Xi lay down directly on the bed. She was going to take a nap first and wait for Xiao Lingyuan and the others to come back.
Soon, the night was like ink, and there was only the sound of heavy rain between the sky and the earth. Yun Xi fell asleep listening to the sound of rain, sleeping peacefully.
The rain became heavier again late at night, and Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan had not returned yet.
Boom boom!!!
There was a thunder, and a sudden light shone into the room from the window, illuminating the door of Yun Xi's room. The door that should have been tightly closed now opened a gap for some reason.
On the table in the room, a small incense burner was placed inexplicably. The incense burner was slightly hot, no smoke could be seen coming out, and there was no smell in the air.
Another flash of lightning flashed, and an illusory shadow appeared in front of Yun Xi's bed and disappeared in a flash.
On a thunderstorm night, a pair of deep eyes stared at Yun Xi quietly.
With the occasional flash of lightning, Qiu Xin stared at Yun Xi's face. It was really a peerless face that made people fall in love at first sight. If he left directly today and did not choose to stay overnight at Yangui Inn,
I'm afraid I'm going to miss such a peerless beauty.
Moreover, this person seems to be a spiritual cultivator. He is a good spiritual cultivator, and his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people...
He gradually approached Yun Xi, placed his trembling hand on the edge of her bed, and gently lifted the quilt.
Under the quilt, Yun Xi is graceful...
"Huh?"
Qiu Xin made a very low sound of doubt.
‘Why doesn’t she change clothes when she sleeps?’
Snap!
Just when the idea was born, a hand grabbed his wrist.
Qiu Xin's expression changed and he looked at the woman on the bed in shock.
Yun Xi, who was sleeping soundly, had opened her eyes at this time. She squinted her eyes slightly and stared at Qiu Xin: "You are the first man who dares to raid my room at night!"
Yun Xi didn't know his name, but she still had some impression of his face.
When I returned to the inn in the afternoon, the man in front of the counter who asked the boss to book a room was the person in front of me.
At that time, Yun Xi noticed that Qiu Xin came in from the outside, but there was no moisture on his feet at all. This showed that this person was also a spiritual cultivator, but it was not strange for such a city to have spiritual cultivators, so she also
Not too concerned.
What she didn't expect was that this man would dare to sneak into her room in the middle of the night!
If I hadn't been immune to that incense, I might have fallen into his trap.
Qiu Xin's expression suddenly darkened. He didn't understand why his tried-and-tested fragrance had no effect on the woman in front of him, but now was not the time to think about this.
The spiritual power in his body was running, and the wrist held by Yun Xi was gently twisted, and it softened like mud. The whole person was separated from Yun Xi's hand, and then gradually disappeared in front of Yun Xi.
