Chapter Eighty-Four: The Fall
The soldier stepped onto the altar and was about to touch the dead body, but lightning flashed from its body.
"What a strong mana!" Miro exclaimed, "Quick! Hurry up and ban it! ”
After tossing for a long time, the thunder and lightning on the monster's body completely disappeared and hidden, and it also changed back to the appearance of an ordinary teenager.
After being confined in the ice prison for almost a hundred years, and after trying all the punishments and poisonous weeds in the heavenly realm, the monster finally woke up. After that, a bowl of decoction medicine every day was forbidden by the Five Heavenly Clans, and this task was given to Ripples. More than 200 years have passed, year after year.
During this time, they had never had a conversation, and they were like two mutes.
Every time Ripple finished delivering the medicine, he had to go to the Chaolu Palace to accompany the envoy to practice spells, and at the same time follow him to learn some relatively simple formations.
After that, I went to the lecture hall to listen to the Changming lamp and chant the Buddha. There is no fighting, no desire, and the days of the heavenly realm are dull and stable.
The sun set and the moon rose, and Ripples had more debut wounds on her hands, and the blood that overflowed in a moment stopped, and the wounds had also scabbed, this was the first time she was injured since she came to the Heavenly Realm.
She was manipulating the ice blade, and for a moment she didn't pay attention, cutting her own hand.
"Why can't you give up?" The envoy asked her with concern.
Back then, Ripple's composure was as famous throughout the heavenly realm as her beautiful looks.
"It's been almost three hundred years." She said, her words were short, but they were able to make him understand.
"You mean the seal of the monster...... "The driver said thoughtfully.
The next day, he wrote to the Emperor of Heaven and was ordered to re-seal Lihong's mana.
Ripple put down the medicine bowl and stared at the boy as he finished drinking.
"It's too bitter...... "Since the first sentence he spoke, the young man has become more and more emboldened, and he has complained to her.
Ripple avoided the hand he reached out to pull her sleeve, took out a packet of osmanthus candy bought from the Nether from his arms, and rested on the jade case with a blank face.
Lihong immediately smiled, like a mortal child who didn't know anything.
"The Master will personally seal you." She dropped a fluttering word and turned and walked out of the cell.
In the middle of the night, the envoy finally returned to the Chaolu Palace, and the palms of his hands were scorched by lightning. Ripple used immortal magic to treat him while quietly listening to him recount the sealing process.
"That monster is getting harder and harder to seal, his aura is too similar to that of the Celestial Clan, and the ordinary prohibition has instead become a help for him to recover his mana and resist the erosion of poisonous gas." The wound on his palm quickly disappeared, and he held the ripple finger instead, telling her to be careful of the other party's movements.
"Controlled by blood?" Ripple suggested.
The young man had tried thousands of poisons, but ordinary methods could not control him, but the blood of the Celestial Clan was different, and he was born to restrain the demon clan who was weaker than himself.
The envoy thought carefully and nodded slowly.
Ripple returned to his abode and mixed a drop of his own blood with osmanthus sugar.
In the ice prison, the young man who had just gone through the seal was so weak that he couldn't even drink the medicine himself. Ripple fed him the bowl and shoved the candy into his mouth.
The Demon Race and the Celestial Clan have been facing each other for a long time, and they have only settled down after the holy war more than three hundred years ago, and the Qi Clan will not dare to invade the Celestial Clan's realm, and they will no longer even enter the mortal realm to make arbitrary times.
Although he was valued by the Emperor of Heaven to a certain extent, he was always just a prisoner of war of the Demon Race......
"Ice Spirit Stone!" Before the sugar could be swallowed completely, the boy sat up as if he had regained his mana, looking at her in disbelief and screaming.
The ice spirit stone is a holy relic of the demon world, after the holy war, it was obtained by the heavenly clan, and the emperor gave it to Sui Han, who killed the demon general with the eldest princess, and gave it to the envoy, and transferred it to her, saying that it can be placed in the dantian to enhance mana and consolidate the immortal body.
She suddenly remembered that her blood was mixed with the spiritual power of the Ice Spirit Stone.
Ripple hurriedly got up and forcibly imposed three prohibitions on him with his mana.
"It's useless." Li Hong looked at her, his lips moving. He originally looked as pure as a clear spring, but after these three words came out, his aura completely changed.
The appearance of the boy in the mortal realm soon changed.
The black eyes turned blood-red, sharp fangs appeared, the nails were black, elongated and pointed, and the skin was covered with hard scales......
Ripples, hundreds of years of mildness, calm face with horror. She has an extra short sword in her hand, which looks like a divine weapon.
"Sister Ripple, I'm going to take something from your body." He got up and pressed closer, Ripple took several steps back, and then she suddenly jumped to her feet, trying to stab the tip of her sword into his heart.
She never understood what the Celestial Clan meant by keeping this monster? For 300 years, he was only imprisoned, fed, and tortured, but he was not actually executed. But the current situation no longer allows her to think more.
Lihong shook like a ghost, dodging the thrilling stab, and his claws grabbed her wrist, breaking it with a "click".
Bright red blood rolled down her fingers, and her face turned pale, and she became more and more pure.
Then, Lihong's other paw reached into her abdomen, and when she retracted it, an extra bead of green jade appeared in her palm.
"Sister Ripple, do you want to go back to the Demon Realm with me?" Despite all these things, he still had a simple smile on his face that did not understand the world.
"No......" ripples soon convulsed and fell to the ground, bleeding from his body, as if it would dry up at any moment.
Li Hong looked at her at a loss, stretched out his paws to plug the hole in her abdomen, but his hands were soaked with blood.
He touched her face again, and the painful light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and then her body vanished, turning into a white spot of light, leaving only a blood-soaked robe.
Li Hong hurriedly kicked off the robe on the jade steps, grabbed the ice spirit stone, and rushed out of the cell.
The next day, the entire furnishings of the Chaolu Palace were smashed to pieces by the driver.
He trembled and pointed to the fairy who had come to report, and asked her what had happened.
"Demon Monster...... defiled Sister Ripples, causing Sister Ripples to commit suicide on the spot! The rumors became more and more exaggerated, and by the time they reached his ears, they had become like this.
"What about the monster?" The expression on his face was hideous and terrifying.
Xiaoxian trembled: "Escape, escape......"
The envoy privately assigned Sui Han to lead the troops to the Demon Realm, and fought hard, and then turned the bottom upside down, but he didn't turn out half a shadow of Lihong. In a fit of rage, he personally went to the Demon Canyon, set fire to the Demon Palace, and led the sky to thunder and split the altar.
When he returned to the Heavenly Realm, what awaited him was the punishment of being weakened by half of his mana by the Heavenly Emperor......
"It turned out to be you." Li Hong looked at his hand and smiled bitterly.
It turned out that she was the person he was most sorry for in his ignorant past......
"After the war, you can take my life at any time if you want." He looked at Chen Qingyi, his smile was calm, but his eyes were serious.
Hearing his tone of indifference to his life, Ding Ruoyu hurriedly grabbed his hand, forcibly supported the mental power oppressed by Chen Qingyi's body, looked directly at her and said expressionlessly: "He didn't count what he said just now." ”
The thin girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, cold sweat broke out on her forehead in such a cold day, her whole body trembled slightly, and she looked like she was about to stand unsteadily, but she stubbornly ran out without flinching.
Lihong wanted to pull her back, but she flashed by, so she had to sigh: "It's the ...... I owe her."
"I'll pay it back!" Ding Ruoyu interrupted him, and his tough attitude was as if the arrogant woman had reappeared five hundred years ago.
Chen Qingyi's calm and elegant smile disappeared on his face, he looked at Ding Ruoyu coldly, and said after a moment of silence: "Girl, what he owes me is a life." ”
"I owe him my life, and I'll pay it back to you." Ding Ruoyu is more energetic than her.
Chen Qingyi sneered, his laughter was like a silver bell, mixed with some kind of mana, which shocked the other party's head and swelled.
"Can your life be worth as much as him? A mere mortal, I really thought that I could be the wife of this demon king...... Do you know that if mortals get along with demons for a long time, they will be corroded by demonic qi and die when they run out of oil? ”
"So what?" Ding Ruoyu said expressionlessly, insisting on his own opinion, without wavering a little.
Chen Qingyi's laughter gradually stopped, and he pointed at the two of them and said with anger: "Okay, good, I hope you will grow old together, but don't disappoint me......
At this point, the conversation is no longer going on. Lihong grabbed Ding Ruoyu's hand and forcibly took her away from the riverbank and walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After walking for a mile or so, Ding Ruoyu's stubbornness disappeared, and as soon as his body became weak, he tilted to the ground. Lihong picked her up and walked slowly. As the night progresses, there are fewer tourists attending the lantern festival, and few stop to look at them.
As soon as he relaxed, Ding Ruoyu regretted it. For some reason, she couldn't calm down at all, as long as she saw Chen Qingyi's eyes, she couldn't control herself, and impulsively said something that didn't take her brain into it.
"It seems that she has lost interest in me." Li Hong walked and laughed.
Hearing this self-deprecating laughter, Ding Ruoyu didn't know why.
"Back then, she was seriously injured by me and lost most of her mana, so she had to come to the mortal realm to recuperate. It's been too long, and she has been attached to the bodies of other women, making it difficult for me to recognize ......" Li Hong said, "It's normal for her to come to me for trouble." ”
"But why doesn't she fight with you in the open?" Ding Ruoyu felt that the rights and wrongs were not as simple as he said.
Because from Chen Qingyi's gaze, she not only saw hate, but also saw a strange emotion similar to love. As for the undisguised jealousy when the other party looked at herself, she confirmed this idea even more keenly.
"Her ultimate goal is not to kill me immediately." Li Hong's words confirmed her conjecture step by step, "She wants to keep me by her side and torture me slowly." ”
Ding Ruoyu crawled on his back and whispered in his ear: "So you'd rather die?" ”
"yes, it can be resurrected anyway." Li Hong's steps suddenly accelerated, and his voice gently merged into the night breeze.
The wind whimpered, Ding Ruoyu didn't hear it too clearly, thinking that he had thought about it.
"By the way, is it really unbearable to be with demons?" As she relaxed, she took care of things that had not been paid attention to before.
She was still a little scared in her heart.
"I'm different from the low-level demons she said." Li Hong comforted her and said, "It has become a habit to restrain the aura of daily life, and it is no different from mortals. ”
Thinking of the side of his Heavenly Clan, Ding Ruoyu sighed. Now the person in front of him is a complete demon.
However, her affection for him did not diminish in the slightest, but as if so much was revealed, it was only the tip of the iceberg, and the rest was blocked behind an invisible wall.
She has experienced so many unbelievable things with him, but she can still maintain a calm heart, as if she has participated in more unimaginable things when she doesn't know, and she gradually begins to doubt her true origin.
