Chapter 167: The Road of No Return

It turned out that this woman was the red-sleeved elder of the mermaid clan of the Ice Spring Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the princess disappeared, she came to the world to look for the princess on the orders of the patriarch and the queen of the clan. But in the vast world, there is no news about where the princess is. And in order to find out the news, she went to Master Xu's mansion to be an old servant. Unexpectedly, her identity as a mermaid was inadvertently discovered, and Mrs. Xu ordered someone to take out the red-sleeved primordial spirit, and since then she has become Miss Xu Rou's plaything.

The merman who lost her Yuan Shen is no different from ordinary people, and she has tried to escape from Xu's mansion several times, but she will always be caught by Xu Rou looking for someone. It wasn't until she heard in Xu Rou's mouth that the current queen was also a merman, that she made a plan to deliberately provoke Xu Rou, and then was put on death row. But whether or not you can see the so-called queen can only be left to fate.

Speaking of this, tears fell from the eyes of the red sleeves, but they did not turn into pearls.

Qingli was surprised, "Why didn't you cry tears?" ”

Red Sleeves sadly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied softly: "The princess has grown up in the world since she was a child, and she doesn't understand the habits of our merman clan. We sharks are born with a kaleidoscopic array of spells, one is our duty to the humans near the West Sea, and the other is our instinct to protect ourselves. But if there is no primordial spirit, just like a wasted person, he will also lose the ability to cry into tears. ”

"I see." Qingli nodded, lost in thought.

"Princess!" Red Sleeves suddenly grabbed Qingli's hand tightly through the fence of the prison door, and said with tears in her eyes, "My mission is to find you, the princess, and now that I have completed it, it is not a pity to die." But princess, you must hurry back to the Ice Spring Palace, you have to inherit the throne, and the human world is too dangerous for us. ”

"I'm not going back! This is my home now, and I don't have the slightest impression of the Ice Fountain Palace. Qingli coldly shook off her hand, looking angry.

"Princess, how do you ......?"

"Where were you when I lived on earth for eight years and experienced countless inhuman sufferings? Why don't you free me? Now that I have finally married the man I love the most, you have told me that I will go back to inherit the throne. Do you think I care about a throne? No! All I care about is him, only him! Qingli originally spoke very lightly, but when Shang Lian was mentioned, she could no longer suppress her voice and yell.

Red Sleeves' body shook suddenly, his head was heavily buckled on the fence, his voice trembled and choked up: "It's the old slave's fault, if the old slave could have found the princess earlier, he wouldn't have suffered so much." ”

Qingli calmed down her emotions expressionlessly, and her voice seemed soft: "You can't be blamed for this, after all, this is all in the past, and now it is irretrievable." However, I want to tell you one condition! ”

Red Sleeves felt a wave in his heart, and tears couldn't help but gush out, feeling ashamed of the princess who grew up alone in the world all these years.

"How can the old slave negotiate terms with you, the princess? If the princess has any orders, the old slave will not dare to slack off. ”

The eyebrows under the green glass veil stretched slightly, a flash of composure flashed in his eyes, and he slowly removed the hazy veil on his face, and said in a very smooth tone: "I will help you get the Yuan Shen, but I want you to restore the appearance on my face, and then leave the palace alone, and you can't tell anyone about me." ”

When Red Sleeves saw the terrifying scars on Qingli's face, his heart trembled violently. What kind of inhuman torture did the princess she was looking for suffer? And what kind of tenacity does the princess in front of her, who should have enjoyed the fine clothes and food, still smile calmly?

"Princess, you ...... Your face...... How so? ”

"It's scary, isn't it?" Qingli smiled faintly, her untraceable gaze fell on Red Sleeves, and said, "It's all in the past, you don't have to feel guilty, I only ask you now, do you agree to my conditions or die here?" ”

"Princess......" Red Sleeves immediately knelt on the ground again, with a look of embarrassment on his old face, and said hurriedly: "Your father and queen mother have been waiting for you to go back for so many years, especially the queen who has been crying alone when she looks at your bed, don't you want them to ...... at all?"

Qingli immediately interrupted her, "I said it, this is my home!" Her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said in a deep voice, "I'll only ask you once!" ”

Her fists were clenched, and there was an imperceptible sadness in her eyes. I just remembered that I still had my father and mother, and I was not an orphan in other people's mouths, but I never had the opportunity to see each other again in this life, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.

Red Sleeves was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "The old slave is willing to follow the princess and protect the princess in this life." ”

The corners of the green glass lips with the veil on it raised a touch of color, "Okay! ”

In Fengyi Palace, the lights are bright.

Red Sleeves has changed into clean clothes, and stands quietly behind Qingli sitting in front of the vanity mirror,

"Isn't it time for you to restore my appearance when you have the primordial spirit?" Qingli's hand gently stroked her rough and ugly cheeks, carefully rubbing them. In a few more days...... She can have the same face she used to have again.

"Princess, actually, ......" Red Sleeves muttered behind him, and didn't say anything after saying it halfway.

Qingli was stunned, stopped the movements in his hand, and said sharply, "What's wrong?" ”

"Actually...... In fact, the key to restoring the princess's appearance is not the old slave, but the princess herself. And that method is really ...... Cruel to the ......"

Qingli turned around and stared into Red Sleeves' eyes, "What do you mean by me?" She paused, lowered her eyelashes, and continued, "I don't care about anything as long as I can restore my appearance!" ”

Red Sleeves sighed heavily and said, "The method of restoring our merman's appearance is not as simple as that of humans, and we must nourish the Yuan Shen with blood. The old slave found out that the princess had unicorn blood in her body, so it would be faster. Generally, it takes a month for a merman to recover his appearance, but if there is unicorn blood, it only takes five days. ”

"Blood...... Nourishing the Genshin? Qingli seemed to be asking Red Sleeves, and seemed to be muttering to herself.

"Back to the princess, this is what the old slave said cruelly, and it must be done with the blood of a living woman. So, I hope you ...... princess Think twice before you act. ”

Qingli nodded and said, "You go and rest first." ”

"Yes." After glancing at Qingli who was in deep thought, Red Sleeves sighed again and left slowly.

Qingli quietly stared at the broken face in the bronze mirror, and her hands couldn't help but clench. So far, what is left of her? Except for Shang Lian, she really has nothing.

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, terrifying as the candle flame flickered. (To be continued.) )
