XXIV. The Struggle for Beauty

Thousands of years ago, a shipwreck made Xiao Nishi, who went out to sea with his brother to fish, be in the sea. Since then, Konishi and his brother have become members of the Oni clan and live on a deserted island deep in the ocean.

Konishi and his brother go out to sea every day to fish, waiting for ships to pass by in the middle of the night.

However, in the middle of the night waiting for the ship, Konishi met a very young strange man at sea, who was also a ghost! Seeing that his Xiaoxi's heartbeat suddenly intensified, there is no doubt that this man with a pair of unfathomable black eyes is the kind of man who is unforgettable at a glance, and he is also a man who is extremely difficult to grasp.

He is simply the excellent lover of Konishi's dreams!

He loves her! His charming black eyes never left her.

Xiao Xi's feeling was not wrong, Mo Xiu was really obsessed with her. He is considerate, romantic, tender and sweet, and Xiaoxi's monotonous and boring life suddenly becomes colorful.

When he gently hugged Konishi, his hand gently touching her skin, hinting at what he was thinking, Konishi slid silently into his arms......

He made her dizzy and reeling.

The black cliff shore is turbulent and the waves lap against the reef.

There was a wind and fog on the sea, and a gray and fluttering shadow pressed down on the sea. The cold, damp black clouds in the sky pushed forward as fast as they could, as if they were about to fall from the sky and crash into the sea.

The hazy water vapor and the icy thick fog spread everywhere in an instant. The black waves roared angrily in the sea, the waves rolled and roared, and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was deafening.

Moxiu sailed the black sea, and he liked to wander in stormy nights.

The wind was raging, the torrential rain swept down with the cold wind, the black waves roared and rolled and crashed against the precarious boat on the sea, Mo Xiu was covered in water, seawater, rain, and his black hair was dripping against his pale cheeks, which were also full of water.

In the waves and rainstorms, only Konishi accompanied Moxiu. He is resolute, wild, uninhibited, he is born for darkness, he exists for danger, he is danger himself!

Konishi snuggled tightly into Mo Xiu's arms.

She has accompanied Mo Xiu through a thousand years of comfortable and happy time.

Mo Xiu dotes on her so much, he only belongs to her!

Luo Lan was sore all over, was he sick? Her body was hot and cold, and her headache was terrible.

The hunt was so bloody and cruel. How many more horrific tortures would she have to endure?

Yutu walked into the spacious bedroom lightly.

Konishi snuggled lazily on the bed.

"The patriarch commanded that you recuperate in the silver palace." Yutu said.

"It's such a terrible hunt, if Mo Xiu hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the monster." Konishi said softly.

"How could you be killed by a youkai like that." Xitu said indifferently.

"I was also negligent." Konishi smiled unnaturally, "That human woman must have been frightened too." ”

"Yes, she was quite frightened."

"How can she adapt to the life of our ghost clan." Konishi said disdainfully.

"She is the wife of the Moxiu patriarch and the mistress of the Silver Palace, so she has to adapt." Xitu said indifferently.

Xiaoxi's face changed, and her eyes shot a light of jealousy, "Why should she be the mistress of the Silver Palace as a human being." ”

Yutu looked coldly at Konishi, who was jealous and hateful.

Konishi has always been willful, arrogant, and does his own thing.

Because she is Mo Xiu's favorite woman.

Luo Lan stood on the high ice steps with his shoulders crossed.

Heavy snow fell from the gray blue sky.

Mo Xiu still went out hunting, but he didn't force Luo Lan to participate in that horrible and disgusting activity.

But it seemed that she would never be able to leave the frozen mountain again.

"Miss Luo Lan......" Luo Lan heard a small voice in the snow.

Immediately, a white petal fell in front of her eyes.

The petals instantly turn into a little girl.

"Flowers!" Luo Lan let out a surprised voice.

"Shh The flowers were so frightened that they looked left and right.

"It would be bad if Yutu, the guardian of the Silver Palace, found out." The flower said nervously.

"It took a lot of effort to get to Snow Peak with the snow." The flower whispered.

"I heard that you live in the Silver Palace, so I came to visit you." Speaking of which, the flowers are a little shy.

"Thank you." Luo Lan was moved.

"I also want to thank you, if you hadn't taken me in the Green Palace during the sacrifice of the ghost clan, I would have to hide from those evil spirits and evil ghosts......" Speaking of this, Hua Hua's expression darkened, "The life of a little demon like me is vulnerable in the ghost clan." ”

"Why don't we escape from the ghost clan together, and you and I will return to the human world." A thought suddenly rose in Luo Lan's heart.

"Running away from the ghosts?" The flowers were stunned.

"Why did you leave the Oni Clan? Patriarch Moxiu doted on you so much that he let you live in his silver palace. How many women in the ghost clan want to be favored by the patriarch. The flower said in surprise.

"He's a demon...... Luo Lan couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, "I must leave the ghost clan and return to my world." ”

She can't live with Mo Xiu, can't live a terrifying life every day, and can't give birth to a child for him.

The flower hesitated, "I heard...... There's a way to get out of the ghost clan......"

"There's a chance tonight."

The snow is quiet and the wind stops.

The silver palace shimmered with a cold white light on the Ice and Snow Peak.

An icy full moon hung in the distant night sky.

Luo Lan looked at the moon anxiously.

"Tonight is the night of the lunar eclipse, and it is said that every night of the lunar eclipse, Yutu's body undergoes a metamorphosis of peeling skin and debone. And when the moon turns blood-red, the power of our goblins will increase dramatically, and I will be able to take you away from the Snow Peak. The flower seemed to have finally made up her mind.

The moon is still very clear.

Luo Lan became more and more agitated.

If, tonight, Mo Xiu returns to Snow Peak......

Suddenly, Luo Lan's eyes darkened.

The moon was changing, and little by little it was starting to turn dark red like blood.

The flower turned into a giant petal in the demonic red moonlight.

This petal has enough power to bring Luo Lan out of the snow peak!

Yutu's body is peeling, bones, skin......

Every year on the night of the lunar eclipse, she suffers like this.

Transform into a younger and older self.

Until the end of half of her human life.

The corpses of youkai in the moonlight, red as blood, were strewn all over the field.

"We don't dare to disobey the ghosts again." The demons and ghosts of the rest of their lives said in fear.

Mo Xiu just stared at the demonic red full moon.

Tonight is the night of a lunar eclipse.

The reckless forest is deep and dark.

Luo Lan remembered this ancient forest, she was brought into the ghost clan by Mo Xiu, and through the black sea, it was this impermeable forest.

"It's all there is to get here." The flower changed back to its original shape and panted.

"This is the Black Forest of the High Priest of Bai Chen, and when I get some rest, we must leave as soon as possible." The flowers sit on thick leaves and close their eyes to rest.

Luo Lan was also tired and leaned against a stout tree.

The silver-gray sky is like a huge piece of thin ice, the damp wind is coming, the weather is cold, but it does not affect Luo Lan's good mood, she rode a horse and galloped on the wilderness, Wen Yingfeng, Mu Hui, and the Ge brothers...... The neighbors in the neighborhood were left behind by her one by one, and Luo Lan had always been very proud of his riding skills.

Luo Lan ran down the hill, over a sparse wood, her clothes were already soaked and stuck to her body, she hadn't been so happy in a long time!

Luo Lan was in high spirits, her horse suddenly leaned forward, maybe it was a bare rhizome of a tree, maybe it was a stone that tripped her horse, Luo Lan fell off the horse with a scream......

Luo Lan suddenly woke up. I found myself curled up under a tree that was high in the darkness under the black press.

The heavy mist floated in the forest, and the moon disappeared into the thick clouds at some point, silent, lonely, gray, and desolate.

Luo Lan tried her best to keep her eyes open and vaguely identify the direction.

Undoubtedly, this uninhabited forest is extremely dangerous, but Luo Lan can only keep moving forward in the dark, and every moment of stay increases the danger, maybe the next moment he will appear in front of her.

Luo Lan was extremely tired and didn't know how long he had walked, but he didn't know where to go, and there was still loneliness and cold darkness in front of him. Underneath, there was darkness ahead.

Suddenly, a light appeared in front of her, Luo Lan suddenly became excited, and she ran towards the light quickly.

Immediately, Luo Lan moved back step by step, and a figure appeared by the river, no! That's not people! Luo Lan's cold hair stood up, his heartbeat was stagnant, and he was a gray skeleton!

"You can't escape Qinghu." The familiar voice said without emotion.

He walked towards her, one step, two steps...... Luo Lan suddenly turned into a wooden stake, unable to move. He was evil, cold-blooded, murderous, and he terrified her.

Intense fear choked her throat.

Luo Lan opened his eyes suddenly. Her forehead was covered with cold beads of sweat.

It's a dream!

There are countless poisonous python monitor lizards lurking in the dark, and there is a fishy poisonous gas everywhere.

Black Swamp!

The most sinister of the Oni Clan.

A dark-haired woman leans against a branch of dead wood that floats in the swamp.

A giant python quietly swam to the woman's side.

"Are there any guests here? Dragons. There was a dim light in the woman's eyes.

A man with lowered eyes appears in the swamp.

"You're here to see if I'm still alive?" The woman laughed sarcastically.

"I've found the key." The man opened his white eyes.

The woman's eyes lit up.
