Chapter 3: The Fate of Mutations
The following days were boring, although the demon world was in turmoil, and under the protection of their father, Ling Xiao and Qingyan's life was unusually peaceful. book network . v o d t . c o m
Ling Xiao grew up with Qingyan, and without a big brother like Guixi, she still has Qingyan, a cute younger brother.
She is not so nonsense anymore, she occasionally likes to sit on the wall and think about things, which scares the demon lord to scold her maids, if Ling Xiao is seriously ill again, his father will have to break his heart again.
There is only a demon lord in the demon world, there is no demon queen, not even a demon concubine, and Ling Xiao has no one to talk to, and he began to talk to himself.
A cheerful and lively girl turned out to be a little sentimental. She would often ask the sky what it was like to grow up, and she would also ask the flowing water, what was far away from them.
She likes to grab Qingyan's clothes and ask him, "Yan'er, what do you think of your future?" ”
Qingyan said hesitantly: "Maybe...... Will marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Ling Xiaoxi smiled, and suddenly felt that her younger brother was still a teachable person, so she asked with great interest: "What kind of daughter-in-law does Yan'er like?" ”
He didn't seem to understand the meaning of his daughter-in-law, and vaguely knew that his daughter-in-law was the same woman as his sister, so he said very firmly: "It's a daughter-in-law like my sister!" ”
Ling Xiao's eyes widened, and she was almost choked speechless, and she said after a long time: "Is my stupid face used to being bullied by me, and she has become a masochist, I am really guilty of sin!" I wanted to pray a few words, but I remembered that I was a demon race, a race that was not protected by the Buddha, so I laughed it off.
In Ling Xiao's heart, she has never been good to Qingyan, but her sister and brother are sisters and brothers after all, many times she will think about being so good to Qingyan and how to play the role of a sister, but when she sees Qingyan, she can't help but tease him, probably this is her inferior nature, and there is no way to overcome it with her own reflection alone.
Day after day, year after year, it seems to be calm and quiet, the clouds are light and the wind is light, but under the calm lake, I don't know how many dark tides have not entered people's sight, and I don't know how many vicious collusions try to rush out of the lake and come to this world with teeth and claws.
In a year when Ling Xiao was more than a thousand years old, a turmoil broke out in the demon world, which was very serious.
The Demon Lord with an army of 100,000 wants to attack the human world, occupy more resources, and rule a wider land. Yes, the Demon Lord is an ambitious person, he can do without love, but he can't do without ambition, and this ambition eventually becomes a tragedy, ending all the happy lives of Qingyan and Lingxiao.
At that time, Qingyan was already a young boy, but his personality was very different from that of the Demon King, he was a somewhat weak teenager, he was friendly to everyone, and he was even more obedient to Ling Xiao. Such a young face is not suitable to take over the position of the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord knows, and Ling Xiao also knows.
And the Demon Lord doesn't care about this, his work, without this son can still be completed, he wants to start a business, he achieves his heroic dream, he is not worried about keeping his business, maybe that is not a problem he should consider.
That expedition was originally a victory, but who knew that the divine realm intervened sideways, sneaked up on the army, and suffered heavy losses.
The Demon Lord, who had cultivated to be powerful, was also seriously injured and wanted to return to the Demon Realm under the protection of the few remaining Guardian Lords. The Divine Realm did not rush to kill them all, and let the Demon Lord leave.
Although there is no third party to chase, there is a contradiction within himself, and Eclipse Yin, who has long been dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Demon Lord, took advantage of the Demon Lord's serious injuries to rebel, slaughtered the Demon Lord and his few remaining personal soldiers, and returned to the city to fake the good news.
Ling Xiao remembers very clearly, that day, she was neatly dressed, happily went to greet her father, the moment the door opened, but saw a white coffin, and the high-spirited green dragon demon king Eclipse Yin sitting on the bird mount, he looked at Ling Xiao proudly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold and weird, Ling Xiao never forgot that smile, even when he dreamed.
And even more cruel, with a gentle gesture from Eclipse Yin, tens of thousands of troops rushed into the city, creating a massacre in the imperial city.
There was blood everywhere, bright red, sticky, in the corners, in the streets, in front of the door, in the ...... In every piece of land, red fills the world, and little by little it converges into a red river, and like an unwilling soul, it flows, as if to prove that it is still alive......
But they were dead. Perhaps their companions are also on their way away.
Before the Demon Lord set out on the expedition, one of his generals was left behind to protect Ling Xiao and Qing Yan, and he quickly reacted, pulling Qing Yan and Ling Xiao to organize a breakthrough and leave.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Ling Xiao was stunned, and before he could react to what was happening, he became the biggest fugitive in the entire Demon Domain.
From a princess to a fugitive, she doesn't seem to be able to adapt yet.
But she can't retreat, she can't hide, she can't even be vulnerable, because she has a younger brother to take care of, a carefree girl who, after losing the man she longs for, has lost her dearest father.
She grew up overnight.
In the face of the red eyes, she knew that their fate was either to flee or die, and the way to escape was also extremely difficult.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Eclipse Yin has rebelled, the Demon Lord is dead, tens of thousands of Demon Lord relatives in the Imperial City have been wiped out, and now there are only a few of us left. What to do next? "The leading general never came back after asking himself to stay.
The few demon soldiers below began to doubt and fear when they couldn't make up their minds, and now the only thing that could make them feel at ease was the existence of Ling Xiao.
What are we going to do? This is also the question that Ling Xiao has been thinking about, she has no way to fight against such a powerful force as the Eclipse Yin, she has no ability, she is useless, she can't protect the people she wants to protect.
In the massacre she had just experienced, none of the maids, grandmothers, and companions who had served her since childhood were spared, and they glared at her with frightened eyes, as if to blame her for her incompetence. The bright red blood that flowed from their bodies stung her eyes, she was helpless, she was confused, she was terrified...... But no one knew about it, and no one could share it with her.
Her Uncle Ghost Hee is gone, her father is gone, there is no more umbrella on her head, and there is no more Shelter Bay in her heart, but she can't cross it.
Qing Yan, who was only half a head lower than her, took Ling Xiao's hand and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, Yan'er will protect you!" ”
Ling Xiao hugged Qingyan into her arms, "Yan'er, my sister will definitely protect you, and my sister will definitely let you live!" She hugged him tightly, and there were a lot of tears to be shed, but not a single drop could be shed.
She kept repeating: "Yan'er, I will definitely take you to a safe place!" ”
You have to live for your father, you will become a great demon, and you will destroy the eclipse yin.
Ling Xiao secretly made a decision in her heart.
"Go to the world, we go to the world!" She once yearned for the world infinitely, she once heard Guixi say that the world is a place full of flowers and wine, where there are the most beautiful emotions, where there are the most delicious food, where there are beautiful ...... But the reason why she made up her mind to go to the world turned out to be to escape, if she could, she would rather not go, she would rather her father be well.
The demon soldiers were very confused when they heard their princess say that they were going to the human world, the place where they thought the untouchables lived, but when they thought that there could be no more parasitic places for them in the demon world, they felt that this was absolutely correct.
They traveled north towards the Wasteland.
However, Ling Xiao is definitely not the only one who can think of such an escape route, and the pursuers always follow behind, and there is always a risk of conflict.
But Ling Xiao's eccentricity over the years is definitely not blown, and her strange tricks are frequent, and there is no danger after all.
They hid in Tibet for more than a month before they reached the edge of the barren sea, during which time they made many detours and detours.
Qingyan has been pampered since she was a child, and when she is tired of walking, she always asks her sister, "Where are we going?" I don't want to go anymore! The pitiful appearance made Ling Xiao feel distressed and helpless.
"We're going to the place where Uncle Ghost Hee is, and my sister will take you to him! Let's go find him together, okay! Ling Xiao still touched his head and said that he never hid anymore, and was docile and obedient.
"Well, I listen to my sister!"
After a long, long trek and a lot of thrills, they finally saw the blue sky of the barren sea.
So clear blue, very beautiful, beautiful, like a dream, like salvation in the dark.
If only it were pure crushed blue.
A huge net suddenly fell from the sky, and the black spiritual power was silk, forming a powerful net. In the entire demon world, I'm afraid that only one person can do it, and he actually came in person, in order to get rid of the two of them.
When Ling Xiao reacted, she pushed Qingyan out, but she was trapped in the net.
"Hehe, Eclipse Yin, can't you imagine that I, the princess of the dead country, will also bother you, the new king, to make a move?" She looked directly at the void, without the slightest fear, only a suppressed hatred, she knew that the eclipse must be there, she had already smelled his breath, she had already tasted the taste of hatred.
"Haha, it's naturally worth it, Princess Lingxiao, not to mention your outstanding talent, it's your strategy along the way, and this monarch can't tolerate you escaping safely, if you wait for the climate, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Eclipse slowly revealed its form.
Although he is the head of the four demon kings, he is many years older than Ling Xiao, but their demon clan has a long lifespan, he looks like he is in his twenties, he looks very soft, if a woman must be a stunner, and when he grows into a man, he will inevitably look feminine, his yin owl eyes locked on Ling Xiao, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with her previous behavior, and with a trace of excitement.
