Dou Po: Lord of the Great Thousand

A month has passed since Tang Ling left the imperial capital.

As time goes by, the opening day of the Alchemist Conference, which has only been held for eight years, is getting closer and closer.

On this day, when the morning sun rose and the rays filled the sky, the holy city of Gama, which had been silent all night, suddenly became bustling with people.

On the originally deserted streets, a few figures wearing alchemist robes appeared from time to time.

These alchemists, who were rarely seen in the past, gathered together in twos and threes and kept moving around the city. As time slowly passed, in this huge imperial capital, countless teams of alchemists began to slowly gather, forming

A long stream of people.

After the flow of people, there are the spectators attracted by this grand event.

You know, alchemist, as the rarest and noblest profession in Dou Qi Continent, used to be somewhat mysterious and awe-inspiring in the hearts of ordinary people.

And every alchemist conference is not only a grand gathering for the alchemists, but also a carnival for the entire imperial capital residents.

On this special day, not only the alchemists got up early, but also the vendors got up early and looked for a good location near the venue to sell some food.

Mittel Manor, in a very beautifully decorated attic.

On the ground, a corner of the light red brocade quilt hangs down. Along the hanging brocade quilt, upwards, on the boudoir bed, two figures, one large and one small, sleep in each other's arms.

The rays of the rising sun shine through the crystal windows and onto the bed.

Lifting her untied white arms, Yafei blocked the dazzling sunlight with her bare hands and slowly opened her slightly sleepy eyes.

The upper body was slightly raised, Yafei stretched her arms with open arms, and leaned diagonally on the head of Nishikori's bed behind her.

A head of black hair spread out like a cloud, and as Ya Fei lifted her upper body, it was scattered on the bed. At the same time, the light red brocade quilt was also pulled under its own weight, and slowly slid downwards, revealing her full body.

An amazing curve that is not for this age.

Yafei's red lips parted slightly, she pulled the brocade quilt with her right hand and laid it on her chest. Her slightly awake eyes looked at the sleeping little girl beside her.

The little girl's long hair was tied behind her back, her sleeping face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and her curved mouth was still whispering something.

The girl's slender arms were curled up in front of her chest, and the tiny scales on her wrists were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

Looking at the scales on Qinglin's wrist, Yafei couldn't help but think of what happened more than a month ago, when Tang Ling brought Qinglin to the Miter Manor for the first time.

At that time, the little girl was wearing a blue palace dress, holding Tang Ling's hand and hiding behind Tang Ling.

She carefully avoided anyone's gaze. It wasn't until Haibodong appeared and waved to her that Qinglin quickly ran to Haibodong's side after Tang Ling agreed.

It was also that day that Ya Fei also knew that Hai Bo Dong Hai Lao, who seemed indifferent to everyone, would show a kind smile.

When Tang Ling said that he would keep Qinglin in the Miter family for a while, Yafei almost immediately made the decision to help take care of Qinglin.

After all, it is impossible for Ebi to take care of a little girl all the time.

In response to this, Tang Ling was startled at that time. After telling her about Qinglin's situation, he agreed.

And Ya Fei also knew Qing Lin's true identity, Tang Ling's adopted sister, a little girl who was a hybrid of human race and snake race.

However, Yafei didn't care about this. After all, for a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, she was almost completely defenseless in the face of Qinglin's cute and cute appearance.

A month has passed, and Yafei and Qinglin have gone from being strangers to each other, to now being able to sleep in each other's arms.

Raising her hand to pinch the little girl's cheek, Ya Fei couldn't help but said angrily: "Wake up, little lazy boy, the sun is out."

"No! Sister Yafei, let me sleep for a while..." Qinglin pushed away the hand holding her face with her little hand, and squeezed her body like Yafei's arms.

Feeling the little girl's hands holding her waist, Ya Fei sighed slightly and hugged her up with both hands.

Looking at the little girl's sleepy eyes, Ya Fei patted Qing Lin's forehead in an angry and funny manner, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang Ling may come back today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Lin's drowsy eyes immediately sobered up, and he asked excitedly: "Is it true that sister Yafei? Will brother really come back today?"

"Yeah! When Mr. Tang Ling left, he said that he would try his best to come back before the Alchemist Conference, and today, the Alchemist Conference is about to open."

"Then Qinglin needs to get up quickly, otherwise sister Baili will be cruel to me again if she finds out!" After hearing Yafei's words, Qinglin got out of the brocade quilt and started to put on her clothes.

Hearing this, Ya Fei was slightly startled and asked curiously: "Qing Lin, who is Sister Bai Li?"

"Sister Bai Li is sister Bai Li!" Qing Lin looked at Ya Fei doubtfully, with some confusion in her tone.

"Uh..." Yafei choked when she heard this, and gave the little girl a hard look with her beautiful eyes, but she no longer dwelled on the issue.

In the past month, the words "Sister Bai Li" would appear in Qinglin's mouth from time to time. She had also asked about her many times, but the little girl was very tight-lipped and refused to say a word.

The two of them put on their clothes and after breakfast, Ya Fei took Qing Lin's little hand and walked towards the door of Miter Manor together.

Today is the opening day of the Alchemist Conference, and as one of the three major families in the empire, the Mittel family will definitely attend the ceremony.

After all, over the years, through the Alchemist Conference, the Miter family has also recruited many talents.

Nearing the entrance of the manor, many senior members of the Mittel family had arrived. Even Mittel Tengshan, who was rarely seen in the past, was respectfully saying something to Hai Bodong who was standing aside.

Today, Haibodong changed into a light blue robe. At this time, he was very irritated by Mittel Tengshan who was chattering towards him. He leaned lazily against the door.

Seeing this, Mitteltenshan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Since Haibodong returned to the imperial capital, it was just as he and Jia Xingtian said, he just wandered around and was not interested in the affairs of the Miter family at all.

After seeing Hai Bodong's figure, Qing Lin's eyes lit up, he left Ya Fei aside and ran over quickly, shouting kindly: "Hello, Grandpa Hai!"

"Okay, okay!" Haibodong hugged Qinglin with both hands and said with a smile on his face, "Is Xiao Qinglin happy during this time?"

"Yeah!" Qinglin nodded.

"That's good!" Haibodong nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, looked at Yafei who followed and said with a smile, "Girl Yafei, you have worked hard during this time."

"It's okay, Mr. Hai, Qinglin has always been very well-behaved, and Yafei is also very happy to get along with her. There is nothing hard or not." Yafei bowed slightly to Haibodong and said with a smile.

When Hai Bodong heard this, his eyes showed satisfaction, and he motioned for everyone to set off and rush to the Alchemist Guild.

After holding Qing Lin and sitting in the carriage, Hai Bodong glanced at Ya Fei who was chatting with Qing Lin and sighed secretly.

The Ya Fei in front of me is not only outstanding in appearance, but also exquisite and clear in mind, which can greatly increase the favor of others.

It's a pity that Ya Fei's cultivation talent is not very good. Not to mention that compared with Tang Ling, even among the younger generation in the imperial capital, Ya Fei's talent is below average.

In addition, Tang Ling's boy and Yun Yun from the Yunlan Sect are not clear, otherwise they can find a way to bring them together.

Shaking his head and leaving these chaotic thoughts behind, Haibodong turned to look at the clear sky outside. Thinking of the news that the other party told him when he first saw Mittelengshan in the morning, Haibodong's face became slightly solemn.

.

In the carriage, feeling the oppressive atmosphere around Hai Bodong, Yafei and Qinglin looked at each other, and their conversational voices gradually became lowered.

…

When the convoy of Hai Bodong and others passed through the crowded crowd and bypassed the Alchemist Guild, it finally slowly stopped in an extremely wide square.

After getting off the carriage, Haibodong felt a few familiar breaths fall on him, so he handed Qinglin to Yafei and motioned for them to go to the auditorium.

His own aura shook, and after flicking away a few auras, he walked towards the core area of ​​the VIP seats.

At the same time, in the core area of ​​the VIP table, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma felt the aura bounced away by Hai Bodong, and they both spread their hands, feeling helpless.

"This old man Bing, I thought that these more than ten years of dormancy had softened his temper a little, but I didn't expect that his temper was even worse!" Fa Ma, who was dressed in purple alchemist robes, stroked his chin with his old palms.

beard, with a smile on his face.

"Hmph!" Jia Xingtian on the side snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "He just regained his strength and he wanted to have a fight with me to vent his anger. If he doesn't have a bad temper, there is no one who has a big temper!"

"Haha, that's true! Old Man Bing's temper has always been like this. However, he can save a life from Queen Medusa, which means he is lucky." Fa Ma also smiled when he heard this, and sighed.

said.

"No matter what fate is, I was lucky enough to survive..." Hearing Fa Ma mention Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong, who had just arrived, sat directly on the chair next to him. Thinking of those years, his eyes were filled with tears.

I still have lingering fears.

"Haha, Old Man Hai, why don't you see little friend Tang Ling? He promised me that day that he would go to the palace as a guest, but it has been more than a month and I haven't even seen a shadow." Seeing Hai Bodong sit down,

Jia Xingtian on the other side asked with a smile.

"Hmph! Old monster, don't think that I don't know what you are planning, but let me remind you first that Tang Ling is not as simple as you see." Hearing this, Haibodong curled his lips, but reminded him anyway.

A day of extra punishment.

Jia Xingtian was stunned for a moment, but just smiled, and then said: "I didn't expect that the three of us who are destined to get together can talk like this. It's just that we are getting older, so I don't know if we will have such an opportunity!"

"It's indeed a fate..." Fa Ma chuckled lightly and said, "Old man Jia, I couldn't invite you to previous conferences. What kind of wind is wrong today that makes you come here so early? And Bing.

Old man, with your temperament, how could you think of watching this alchemist conference?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian looked at each other.

After a while, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Jia Xingtian slowly said: "I have been shrinking for decades, it's okay to come out and take a look once in a while..."
