"So, what is your bet with Xiao Rong?" I asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

“……”

When asked about the gambling contract, I obviously felt that the red-clothed demon Xiangjun hesitated, as if she had unspeakable hardships, so I gently comforted her: "What, it's inconvenient to say, that...... Forget it......"

Xiangjun said a little embarrassed: "It's not inconvenient to say, I'm just observing your ability to withstand a very harsh ...... The ...... that is about to become a reality Millennial Prophecy ......"

"What...... What, millennial prophecy? "I heard the words of the thousand-year prophecy from Xiangjun's mouth again, and I couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that this thousand-year prophecy does exist, but the two of them are different in their statements.

"The prophecy of this millennium is that your love will determine the fate of one of me and Xiao Rong, that is, the content of our bet, the one who gets your love is the winner, and you will be in charge of this underground city for life, and the one who can't get love will be counted as the loser of the bet, and you will leave this underground city and marry the black river demon on the day of the opening of the ghost gate on the first day of the tenth month ......of the lunar calendar, and suffer from ravages forever," Xiangjun said to me solemnly with tears in his eyes.

"What is that Black River Demon?" I asked.

"The Black River Demon is a water monkey that lives at the bottom of the reservoir and leads the water ghosts......" Hearing Xiangjun say this, goosebumps rose on my body, and the gray shadows of those rotten fleshy and ragged water ghosts in the Wild Wolf Valley still exist in the depths of my mind, making me tremble when I think about it.

"Ahh How so, it's so cruel, what if I don't make a choice?" I said heartbroken.

"If we don't make a choice on the day of unblocking, even if we both get the flesh, we will be swept away by the black river demon and suffer at ......the bottom of the river," Xiangjun explained.

"What's so scary about a water monkey, can't you do it with the three of us? ......" I said disapprehantly.

"This water monkey doesn't need to be an ordinary water monkey, it has a lifespan of thousands of years, so it has become a demon, in addition to its huge size and flexible body, it also has the ability to think of ordinary people, if Xiao Jian is alive, he may be able to cope with it, but now it is difficult to deal with it with the strength of the three of us......" Xiang Jun said with a serious expression.

"That'...... So how can we solve this tricky matter, to be honest, I can't bear to let either of you suffer ......" I said sadly, "Although I only meet you for the first time, but my heart has feelings for you, as long as I am close to you, I have an urge to cry, I know that this is what I left me in my previous life, he has a deep attachment to you, if I have to choose one of the two, I will definitely choose you, but I really don't want to give up Xiaorong, I know, Although she did some wrong things to harm others and benefit herself before, but, no matter what, it was all an effort to get my love, Xiaorong is like my own sister, in this moment of crisis, how can I bear to abandon her? ”

"It's really not possible, there is one last way......" Xiangjun said slowly.

"What's the solution?" I asked hurriedly.

"Did you see the three sarcophagi in the back room of the dungeon when you came? That's specially prepared for the three of us, to deal with emergencies, if you can't make a decisive choice or the Black River Demon doesn't keep its promise and suddenly visits, the three of us have a sarcophagus for each person, as long as we lie inside, the underground palace will automatically activate the self-destruction mechanism, so that we sleep underground. "Xiangjun's voice is not loud, but every word is thousand, and I can't breathe.

"Ahh Isn't this suicide? You two have lived for thousands of years, you have experienced everything, even if you die, it is worth it, oh, you are already dead, ......this sentence does not work anymore, poor me has only lived to be less than twenty years old, and I have not even married a daughter-in-law, so I ...... Just say that death is death, and I don't lose much......" I said in surprise.

"What do you lose, when you are dying, you are accompanied by these two beautiful women, many people may not have such a good treatment after living for a lifetime...... no, if not, you will choose one of us to marry the black river demon ......" The red-clothed demon Xiangjun said with a smile.

"There's no other way?" I asked.

"No more!" Xiangjun said helplessly.

"Forget it, I've already decided, I won't give either of you to the black river demon if I kill me, just die, fortunately, I exchanged my life for the lives of my two companions, Chubby and Mouse, isn't it? People have to learn to be content and happy, it doesn't matter if you want to open everything, there are two beautiful women to accompany you temporarily, which is really a very stylish thing. It's just that I have one more condition, you must promise me...... "I am like a prisoner on the execution ground, making his last words.

"You could have chosen one of us to be happy with you, but now, one of your decisions has sent both of us to a dead end, and you have to take your own life, do you think it's worth it?" Xiangjun asked me.

"For me, it's a living life, and for the two of you, death is death, and it's two ghosts, and I'm afraid of dying again,......" I said.

"You don't know this, a thousand-year-old ghost like us has not been sent by a physical body for so long, and if we die again, our souls will be scattered, and we won't even have the opportunity to enter reincarnation and be a human being......" Xiangjun said very sadly.

"Huh? …… If you don't say it, I really don't know what's going on, since we have to die if we don't do it, why don't we fight with the black river demon, it's a big deal to fight but be killed by the black river demon, or we ......can keep up if we die," I said to Xiangjun.

"So what are your conditions?" Xiangjun asked me.

"You've got to get my brothers back to the surface safely." I say.

"It's easy, but we have to wait until you help us untie the knot and let us get the flesh......," Xiangjun said with a smile.

"What, I'm afraid I'll run away, won't I untie the knot for you?" I say.

"Where do you want to go, only after we get the physical body, can we have the ability to send them out......" Xiangjun said.

"Okay, now that the problem is solved, let's let Sister Xiaorong in, she has been in a hurry outside for a long time......," I said to the red-clothed woman Xiangjun with a smile.
