Chapter 33: Childhood

Happiness comes and goes, but it doesn't always last long.

Feng Zhiling saw Lan Yuan seriously injured and unconscious, but he couldn't do anything. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her.

She hated Ling Xiao's ruthlessness, ruined her stability and happiness again and again, and hated herself for being too weak and bullied.

Ling Xiao retreated from the Four Demon Masters, and Feng Zhiling followed Ling Xiao with a look of pride and returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"Are you hating me?" Ling Xiao seemed to guess that she was scolding herself in her heart.

"Yes. Feng Zhiling made no secret of it.

"Feathered Phoenix. I am your uncle, and everything I do will not harm you. Ling Xiao spoke bitterly.

Feng Zhiling didn't want to deal with her, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but sneer: "You won't harm me?" You are ruthless, you killed my master, killed hundreds of disciples of Taiyi Sect, and now you almost killed my senior brotherβ€”β€” you actually said that you won't harm me?"

At this time, Dikun suddenly appeared and reported from afar: "Lord, someone wants to see you." ”

Ling Xiao responded and said to Di Kun: "You take Yuhuang to the side hall to rest for a while." ”

"Lord Ling, you and I said good things, you won't regret it, right?" said a man dressed in indigo blue.

Ling Xiao sat on the stone dragon chair at the head of the Tianxiao Palace, looked down at the man in front of him casually, and said, "Why do you regret it? Didn't I already lend you Shenwu Ding before?"

"If I hadn't revealed to you the location of the Soul Eater Clan back then, how could you have obtained the Soul Strangler artifact? If I hadn't told you the news of Xi Heting and He Lanyuan's injuries, how could you have hit the Taiyi Gate in one fell swoop? I just asked to borrow the Shenwu Ding three times, this request is not excessive, right?" the man said, "You agreed very happily at that time. ”

Ling Xiao said: "I promised to borrow Shenwu Ding for you three times." But now that I don't want to, what can you do?"

The man said, "Naturally, I can't help Lord Ling. It's just that if I tell the secret of the Venerable Lord's refining and soul smothering to the five sects and seven sects, I'm afraid it won't be good for you, right?"

"How dare you threaten me? believe it or not, I can take your life right now. Ling Xiao put his true qi in his hand and stared at the man gloomily.

The man's face changed slightly, but he was not alarmed: "Don't dare." But if I die here, the news will still be out. Do you think I really dare to come to the Demon Realm alone without leaving a single hand?"

Ling Xiao pretended to make a move, just to test this person's hole cards. Now that he knew it, he retracted his true anger and snorted coldly: "You are smart. Okay, Shenwu Ding can borrow you, but you can only borrow it in my Heavenly Demon Palace, and you can't take half a step out of the Demon Realm. ”

"Isn't it nice to have something to discuss, and everyone is happy?" the man put on a smiling face.

When the immortal gate is destroyed, I will definitely break this guy's body into ten thousand pieces. Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.

Feng Zhiling was taken by Di Kun to the side hall next to Tianxiao Hall to wait, and suddenly found a familiar figure walking by outside the window. She got up and walked to the window to take a look, and found that the person looked like Han Shen who escaped from Jicheng!

Why is he here? and walking with Ling Xiao?

Feng Zhiling opened the door and followed, shouting, "Han Shen!"

The man turned around, and sure enough, it was him!

Dikun hurriedly followed.

Feng Zhiling asked Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao, why is this person here?"

Han Shen was called by someone, his voice was a little familiar, and when he looked back and saw this person's face, he was even more surprised than Feng Zhiling: "You?"

Han Shen didn't expect to meet her here. It seems that she has recovered. With black hair and dark brown eyes, this appearance is more similar to Ling Long.

Feng Zhiling still remembered being slapped by him that day, and said angrily: "You escaped that day, but today you sent it to the door by yourself." Ling Xiao, hurry up and arrest him and give it to the people of Jicheng to atone for their sins!"

Ling Xiao said: "Yu Huang, he is my friend. I'll talk about any grievances you have later. - Dikun, take the little master into the house to rest. ”

Feng Zhiling suddenly realized that this was the Demon Realm. She was so emotionally charged that she forgot about her situation.

She was taken back to the house by Dikun and the door was shut, and Dikun stood beside her like a dutiful prison guard.

A moment later, Ling Xiao pushed the door in and motioned to Di Kun, who retreated.

There are only two people left in the side hall, Ling Xiao and Feng Zhiling.

Ling Xiao was silent for a while, and then said, "You said that I am ruthless, do you think that those people in Xianmen are all soft-hearted?"

Feng Zhiling tilted her head and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Ling Xiao continued: "Have you really forgotten who you are? Do you know how those people in the Immortal Sect dealt with us back then? How did your mother die? How was your home destroyed? During the Immortal Demon War, those Immortal Sects were decent, but some people were merciful to the subordinates of the Demon Realm? It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that this world is so bloody and cruel!"

Feng Zhiling said: "...... If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Realm had done too much evil, how could the people of the Immortal Sect unite to attack the Demon Realm? Everything was your own doing! What did my master do wrong?"

"They killed your mother, killed tens of thousands of people in the Demon Realm, snatched you, and burned the Heavenly Demon Palace, what do you say they did wrong?! They deserve to die!" Ling Xiao said angrily, "Are you the only ones in your heart?"

"What happened back then, it was the demon world that did evil first, and my master was for the world to eliminate evil! I can't control the previous grievances, I only know that it was the master who raised me, and it was my brothers who took care of me and loved me for more than ten years, but you killed them mercilessly! I want to kill you immediately and avenge them!"

"You...... You're going to kill me?"

"You can take revenge, why can't I!"

"You actually want to kill your uncle? Yu Huang, your uncle was so good to you in the past, don't you even remember it?"

"In my memory, there is only my master and brother, and there is only Taiyimen. ”

"Before, you protected Lan Chengyi and Kunshan Gate, and now, you protect He Lanyuan and Taiyi Gate up and down. Do you know that you were born in the Demon Realm, you are the daughter of Lian Mingxuan and Ling Long, and you are the little master of the Demon Realm! This is your identity, and this is where you belong! You can't always protect others!"

"For me, they are none other than me, they are the most important people to me!"

"The most important person? What about your biological parents? What about your uncle and me? Don't you want them all?"

"Iβ€”I don't have this kind of murderous and inhumane family!" Feng Zhiling's head buzzed as soon as he spoke. She was extremely angry, and the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time blurted out all at this moment.

"If you have to force me to stay in the Demon Realm, you might as well kill me!" she said.

"You, are you threatening death again? Knowing that your uncle cares about your life, you are so angry with me again and again?" Ling Xiao's eyes showed sadness and loss.

The air was filled with invisible gunsmoke.

"Feathered Phoenix. After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao suddenly said in a low voice, "I'll take you to see something." ”

Ling Xiao took her out of the side hall, walked through a few doors, and came to an exquisite courtyard in the apse.

"Chengluan Courtyard, do you remember?" Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at a few earthworm characters on the lintel at the entrance of the courtyard.

Feng Zhiling glanced up indifferently and followed Ling Xiao into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very large, and Ling Xiao led her to the door of the room in the middle of the courtyard.

The door frames were all painted red.

Ling Xiao pushed the door in.

When she saw the furnishings in the room, Feng Zhiling was stunned.

"This is the house you lived in when you were a kid. Do you remember?" asked Ling Xiao.

A room full of concubines red.

The red bed curtains, bedding, and foot pedals, and the small red tables, chairs, and screens of the concubines.

The cabinet on the wall is full of all kinds of clay dolls, tumblers, rattles, most of which are concubine red.

There are two paper kites hanging on the wall, one in the shape of a phoenix bird and the other in the shape of a god, which are also concubine-colored.

Even the small tea set is also concubine red.

"Those two paper kites, Shenao was made for you by your father, and Huofeng was made by me. Look at the one your dad made, how ugly it is. Ling Xiao said.

"This tumbler, you have to do it like your uncle. When you get it, you can't put it down and say it's your favorite tumbler. ”

"In the past, your father and mother were busy with the affairs of the demon world and obsessed with cultivating demon skills, so they rarely had time to accompany you. It is I who take you, accompany you to hide and seek in the Nether Mirror, accompany you to raise a big fire phoenix, accompany you to fish for turtles in the Wufu Sea, and accompany you to fly against the wind in Hurricane Valley. At that time, you were really naughty and playful, and anyone in the four domains of the Demon Realm who could breathe was afraid of you. After playing all over the four domains of the Demon Realm, you are still not satisfied, please let me accompany you out of the Demon Realm to play. So, I secretly carried your mother on my back and accompanied you out of the demon world and went to many places...... But every time we come back, the two of us will be taught a lesson by your mother. ”

Ling Xiao picked up a crossbow from the cabinet and said:

"This crossbow was made for you by your father, but you disliked that the original color was too ugly, so you begged me to paint you a concubine red. ”

"This is the first time I accompanied you to hunt in Donglang Mountain, and you used this small crossbow to shoot the antlers of an elk. You were more than four years old at the time, and you really had a lot of strength. At that time, a little elk was shot by you, but it was still able to run, and I quietly fixed it. Later, the two of us cut off its antlers and brought it back to you. ”

"This is the skull of a camel, and I picked it up when I accompanied you to the desert......"

"This is the claw ...... of a thousand-year-old turtle in the South China Sea"

Ling Xiao spoke slowly, and Feng Zhiling's heart began to fluctuate. She tried to force the feeling down.

Ling Xiao walked to a cabinet and opened the door, there were many small clothes and shoes inside.

"This is the clothes you have worn since you were a child, I will help you put them here, you see, how cute they are......" Ling Xiao picked up a pair of small red tiger head shoes and couldn't help but chuckle.

Feng Zhiling took the small shoe from Ling Xiao's hand, and at this moment, her heart seemed to be hit by something soft.

"Half of the temple was burned down in that fire, but I tried my best to remedy and renovate it to its current state. It's April 11th, and I wanted to bring you here on your birthday and surprise you. Ling Xiao looked at Feng Zhi and said softly, "Yuhuang, this is your home, your parents, and your uncle and I are the people who love you the most in the world." ”

Feng Zhiling stared blankly at the swaying ball-shaped bird's head on her little shoes, an inexplicable sourness welled up, and her eyes moistened.

Ling Xiaodao sighed and continued: "Back then, the five sects and seven factions invaded the Demon Realm with great momentum, and your mother asked me to take you out of the Demon Realm for your safety. But on the way to escape with you, I encountered an ambush by a group of people from the Xianmen, and I was seriously injured by them, and you were taken from me by them. ”

"You fell into the hands of the Immortal Sect, and Xiheting took the five sects and seven factions into the Heavenly Demon Palace, threatening your life, forcing your father and mother to give up resistance, and finally being trapped by Xiheting and seriously injured. In order to save your mother, your father killed Qi Youduan and Hai Nanshui in the resistance. At that time, when they saw that you had killed two leaders in a row, they slapped you on the body, and you were seriously injured and vomited blood. You were only five years old. ”

"Your mother broke down at that time, she blamed your father for making a move, and kept begging them not to kill you. In your mother's life, she is arrogant and has never begged others so much. Where did your father stand the threat of someone, but he still made a move, and at that time, they killed you directly in front of your father. ”

"Later, your mother was killed, and your father went crazy, and he wasted his seven success powers, sealed himself in the Nether Mirror, and never came out again. ”

"When I returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace, there was already a fire burning here, and I led people to fight the fire desperately, so that the Heavenly Demon Palace was not destroyed in the fire. At that time, the fire had spread to Chengluan-in, and many of your dolls and clothes were burned. Some of the things I managed to salvage were burned out and blackened, and I repaired them one by one, pieced them together, and repainted them to restore them to the way you see them now. ”

Ling Xiao paused, as if he had experienced the pain of bone erosion again, took a deep breath, and continued:

β€œ...... I was lucky to survive at that time, and I only had one thought in my heart - that is, no matter what means I used or how long it lasted, I must revive the demon world, destroy the five sects and seven factions with my own hands, and avenge your mother and you. ”

"I don't know how Taiyimen rescued you, but I know that they definitely didn't have any good intentions. ”

"Yu Huang, if it weren't for those people in the Immortal Gate, you would have grown up happily in the Heavenly Demon Palace for the rest of your life under our protection, and you would be the little master of the Heavenly Demon Palace for the rest of your life, and you would be our baby. ”

Feng Zhiling silently put the shoes in her hand back into the cabinet, carefully touching every item in the room.

After a long time, she asked, "Is the elk dead?"

"What?" Ling Xiao reacted for a moment and said, "It's dead, let's roast it and eat it." ”

"Oh. Feng Zhiling responded.
