Chapter 167

If it weren't for Ba Weiti's stubble, Ao Ling would have almost forgotten how the curse came about.

But now that he remembered it, Ao Ling felt that he couldn't easily let Ba Wei die.

Although this is Ba Wei's own decision, for Ao Ling, who knows the truth, he feels that Ba Wei's decision is extremely wrong.

Because the person he loves is not Snow Road, but Nana Momozono who bears the name of Snow Road.

Ba Wei looked at Ao Ling, who was silent, "The Jade of the Four Souls can turn Inuyasha into a human, and your Soul Jade is so much stronger than the Jade of the Four Souls-"

So even if it's a big demon, it should be able to transform into a human.

But Ao Ling wanted to refuse.

He had given the soul jade to Inuyasha because he knew that this soul jade was stronger than the four soul jades.

Since the power of the Four Soul Jade can transform Inuyasha, then this soul jade must also be possible, and there should be more power to spare after using it, and it will not cause the soul jade to disappear.

That's why he was relieved to hand over the soul jade to Kikyo to ponder.

Otherwise, when he lost the Four Soul Jade, he would definitely not hand over the Soul Jade given to him by King Ye, but would choose another way to compensate.

But transforming a big demon into a human being, Ao Ling has no bottom in his heart.

Not only is it uncertain whether it can be successfully transformed, but it is also uncertain whether the soul jade will disappear due to the exhaustion of power after using it.

This is a gift that King Macang Ye painstakingly made for him.

Ao Ling didn't want to lose it.

At least until he saw the King of Macang Ye again, Ao Ling would never allow it to disappear.

The black-haired dog demon was silent for a while, caught a glimpse of the uneasy tail behind the demon fox, paused, and did not answer Ba Wei about borrowing the soul jade, but asked, "Can you take me to see the snow road first?" ”

Bawei frowned.

The demon fox groaned for a while, but finally did not refuse.

Because in Ba Wei's opinion, although Xue Lu didn't seem to tell Ao Ling his name, the relationship between them was quite good.

- or rather, the dog demon in front of him may have a good impression of him who wants to win him over.

Otherwise, when he was seriously injured and refused to join the Western Kingdom, Ao Ling should have eaten him directly, instead of handing over the token to the girl who wanted to save him.

Based on this, Ba Wei was sure that Ao Ling was probably trying to win him over.

In the current situation, he was not worried about what bloody things would happen to Ao Ling when he met Xuelu.

So Ba Wei led Ao Ling back to the place where he took Xue Lu.

- It's not a luxurious house, and it can even be said to be a little shabby.

But the room with the snow was warm and dry, and the corner of the room was lit with calming incense.

In this coming winter, the bedding covered by the snow road still exudes the smell of sunshine.

Probably because of the relationship between knowing that humans should not stay in the demonic environment for too long, in this room, even the demonic aura belonging to Ba Wei is very weak.

For the big youkai with the beast-like instinct, it is not easy to suppress the urge to occupy the territory and stain the people and houses that belong to him with his own demonic energy.

- Even Sesshomaru would wrap him in his tail every time he saw Ao Ling, and rub it vigorously against his own scent before letting go of him satisfied.

So the demon fox is really very attentive to the person he loves.

But the woman lying in the futon that Ao Ling saw, the life qi in her body was still pitifully thin.

"She's sick?" Ao Ling just glanced at it, then said with a frown.

The snow in the futon was pale, the lips were bloodless, and the eyes seemed to be deliberately tied with a layer of white cloth, and the whole person looked very unhealthy.

Ba Wei was stunned and looked at Ao Ling in surprise, "You know medical skills?" ”

"I don't understand." Ao Ling shook her head, "But her vitality is very weak, and she is not lightly ill. ”

The demon fox was a little skeptical, "She was able to walk in the courtyard yesterday, and I didn't see death in her." ”

Ao Ling looked at Ba Wei and explained vaguely: "The 'qi' in my eyes is different from the 'qi' in your eyes. ”

The 'qi' in his eyes emanates from the spirit and soul of living beings, and is closely related to the most subtle state and emotions of living beings at the moment.

This seems to be a skill unique to the monsters of the Yellow Sea, and according to Ao Yan, the Kirin relied on observing and cultivating this 'qi' to subdue the demons and become his envoys.

Ao Ling shrugged, "I was able to get up suddenly yesterday, maybe it's a return to the light." ”

"Shut up!"

Ba Wei could not listen to such words.

But after raising his voice to interrupt Ao Ling's words, he suddenly calmed down again.

He first looked at Ao Ling for a while, and when he was sure that the other party was not angry because of his attitude just now, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Look again." Ao Ling said and stepped into the room, taking a closer look at the qi on Xue Lu's body, "Her vitality has been transferred to the fetus in her womb, and now the fetus has not yet taken shape, if she removes it, she may be able to save it." ”

Ba Wei's expression froze.

In his eyes, the child in Xuelu's belly, who does not belong to him, is naturally not as important as Xuelu himself.

But before the demon fox could answer Ao Ling's words, the woman lying in the futon suddenly turned her head to face the direction they were in, and her voice was hoarse, but her tone was very anxious and anxious: "Don't ——! ”

Ao Ling was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Ba Wei.

The demon fox was silent and did not speak.

Xue Lu bit her lower lip, "Ba Wei, I want to give birth to this child." ”

Ao Ling looked at Ba Wei standing by the door, silently looking at the woman lying on the bed, as fragile as a flower.

"Ba Wei ...... Help me. The woman's tone was full of begging.

The demon fox took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, its beautiful purple eyes revealing a tenderness that almost drowned a person.

He said, "Okay." ”

Xue Lu suddenly relaxed, and pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a gentle smile.

Somewhat reluctantly, but Bawei saw it as a beauty that was not formed because of weakness.

"I've heard that the dragon king's eyes contain life." Ba Wei said softly, but what he looked at was Ao Ling, "I'll go and fetch it for the snow road, the Nightmare Lord of the Western Kingdom, you ......"

"Ao Ling is his real name, call me Ling." Ao Ling paused as she spoke, "Before you come back, I'll guard her for you for the time being." ”

Coincidentally, Ao Ling also wanted to talk to this woman named Xue Lu.

……

Ba Wei didn't want any accidents on the snow road, and now that he had no worries and a goal to move forward, he left immediately without a pause.

Ao Ling sat cross-legged about half a meter away from the snow road, and after making sure that Ba Wei had left, he carefully considered how to mention Nana Taoyuan so that he could not irritate the snow road that was now too weak to be done.

You know, in this era, a pregnant woman who is weak is almost equivalent to death.

If it is not well treated, death is only a matter of time, and almost no one will survive to give birth.

Not to mention irritating others when she is pregnant and weak.

Doing so is almost like killing someone.

This situation made Ao Ling very difficult.

But while he was thinking silently, Xue Lu was the first to speak.

Ling ...... My lord? Her voice was weak, but still very good—with the gentleness that women of this era are accustomed to, "My lord, are you the owner of that token?" ”

Ao Ling was stunned, "Yes." ”

"Thank you for not telling the truth to Bawe." After Xue Lu finished speaking, he stopped and gasped for a while.

The black-haired dog demon shook his ears, "This is Nana's own choice." ”

"It's because it's Nana's own choice." Xue Lu repeated what Ao Ling had said, and his tone was harsh, "So, use her choice to deceive me in Ba Wei...... How despicable. ”

Ao Ling didn't speak.

He could hear that these words had long been pressed in Xue Lu's heart, but she could never find someone to talk to.

"My Village...... The whole village, destroyed by the youkai, they all died, my family, my friends...... I was left alone. ”

Xue Lu's eyes were covered by strips of cloth, and Ao Ling couldn't see her expression.

But Ao Ling could clearly see the qi on Xue Lu's body—twisted and sad, like a lonely crying beast.

"I was fortunate enough to survive, to be adopted by a wealthy family, to go through the most difficult time, to be well nurtured and taught."

"Then just eight years ago, I met Nana. The first time I saw her, I felt so kind – it was like my family. ”

"Bright, free, lively, vibrant, just like what I imagined, the most longed."

"But why......" Xue Lu's tone was a little dazed, "why, she is entangled with youkai?" She's so wonderful......"

"She is even willing to face the monster alone for me, so that I can marry my husband safely, and send herself into the hands of the monster."

"She's so good."

Xue Lu fell silent, as if he was immersed in memories, silently, and even his breathing gradually calmed down.

- Ao Ling almost felt that Xue Lu was already reading the marquee of life, and he was about to return to Huangquan.

But in the next moment, he heard the gentle and weak voice of Xue Lu again.

"Later, before I got married, I watched her make an agreement with Ba Wei, and then ......"

Xue Lu paused, "Then, she disappeared. ”

"I married my husband, and I have lived very happily for eight years, and I am finally pregnant with our child."

Xue Lu caressed his lower abdomen under the futon, and the soft emotion almost overflowed even if his eyes were covered.

"But when I was pregnant with my child, my husband ...... I was also killed by a youkai. ”

"I can only turn to Bawei for help, I have no choice."

"Lord Ling, I know that my behavior of using Ba Wei is despicable." Xue Lu's voice was soft and low, "But, no matter what, I want to give birth to this child." ”

Ao Ling has no resistance to the role of mother.

- especially for the sake of mothers whose children in their womb are not afraid of death.

Yukilu reminded him of Yahime.

It's just that Yahime has the power to never use or hurt other people's emotions to achieve her own goals.

But even though he knew in his heart that Xuelu's current methods would cause Ba Wei to fall into pain, he still couldn't say the words that would sting the mother.

There was silence for a long time, until the incense burned out.

Ao Ling took a deep breath and stood up, took out another piece of incense from the side, and put it into the incense burner.

Seeing the incense rekindled, he decided to simply puncture the facts and meddle in the historical process as he knew it.

"It's true that your fate is ill-fated, but you are ashamed of Nana Taoyuan, Snow Road."

Xue Lu pursed his lips in embarrassment, unable to refute it out loud.

"Ba Wei's care and thoughtfulness, and his determination to fight against the Dragon King for his loved ones, should belong to Nana Taoyuan."

"And Nana Momozono is born...... She is your descendant in 500 years, and she has come to save Ba Wei who is about to die in 500 years. Because in the history she knows, you are the one who is now in love with Bawe, so she chooses to use your name to get along with Bawe. ”

The woman lying in the futon suddenly got up, raised her head in the direction of Ao Ling, and subconsciously put one hand on her lower abdomen.

"My ...... Descendant? She murmured, as gentle as if she remembered something, "What a ...... Good boy. ”

Ao Ling ignored Xue Lu's muttering to herself and turned his head to look at her.

"Snow Road, Ba Wei has decided to give up his identity as a monster for you and become a human."

Xue Lu's body stiffened, and he couldn't believe it.

"He came to me for a treasure in my hands that would turn him into a human."

"This should have been everything that Nana Tozono should have." After Ao Ling finished speaking, he put aside the incense burner that had become a little hot in his hand.

Xue Lu still couldn't believe it, "How is it possible...... How could a youkai want to become a human?! ”

"Because he wants to grow old with the person he loves, instead of being left alone in this world after she grows old and enters the Yellow Spring."

"Ba Wei has the right to know the truth, Xue Lu." Ao Ling sat back beside Xuelu, "But I'm an outsider, and I also respect Nana's approach to Taoyuan, so the choice is yours." ”

Ao Ling forced Xue Lu back into the quilt and tucked it for her.

Xue Lu lay stiffly and blankly in the futon, caressing his lower abdomen one by one.

It was a long time before she took a deep breath.

"If Nana is my offspring, I should give birth to this child." Xue Lu tilted his head and faced Ao Ling who was sitting on the side, "Is that right?" ”

"Hmm."

"If I tell the truth, I'll probably be killed by Ba Wei." Xue Lu received an answer and turned his head back, "If there will be Nana in my offspring, Ba Wei will also take good care of my children...... Right? ”

Ao Ling thought about it and felt that it should be like this.

So he nodded again, and after realizing that the snow road was now invisible, he spoke again.

"So ......"

Snow road bends
