Although she was angry, Scarlet still had a trace of reason, and after forcing herself to calm down, she looked behind the stone again, only to see two people appear in front of the bud, one of them was still a young girl, and the other was actually Mu Jiu, who she had seen in Xinling Wangfu before, dressed in brocade clothes and looking well-behaved and lovely. Why is she here?

Scarlet Yan's slender eyebrows rose slightly, thinking of the time he met her in the Xinling Palace, Mu Jiu's facial features were exquisite, and his palm-sized face was full of obedient expressions, threatening Yu Chi Mu, if there was no her, no one would be able to suppress the bloodthirsty poison in his body for him. However, although Mu Jiu in front of him was still as well-behaved as a porcelain doll before, his face was like frost, and he had a less obedient look, and there was a hint of coldness and outrageous bloodthirsty cruelty in his big eyes.

I saw Mu Jiu holding a blood-soaked long sword, looking at the little girl in front of her coldly, I don't know if the girl was too young to understand what she was going to face, or if she was already numb, the little girl actually looked back at the same Mu Jiu in front of her who could kill her at any time and was not a few years older than her. Scarlet Smoke was some distance away from them, but she could still faintly hear part of their conversation.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but if I say I'm afraid, can my sister let me go?"

"It's impossible, you are all daughters of sinners, and it is your honor to have such an opportunity to sacrifice your blood for the royal family of Southern Xinjiang."

"My father is not a sinner!"

…………

Mu Jiu and the girl were also immature voices, but one was cold, the other was innocent, Scarlet Yan only heard these few short words, and the voices of the two stopped abruptly, and in the next second, the sword light of the long sword lit up, and blood overflowed. The little girl, who was still full of life, fell in a pool of blood like a broken doll, and strangely, the blood in her body actually flowed into the soil of the flower bud, absorbed by the rhizome of the flower, and then transformed into the same scarlet pattern as before. However, just when Mu Jiu and Scarlet Yan thought at the same time that the flower was about to bloom, the scarlet lines climbed to the position where the entire bud was close to the top, and they stopped moving.

"Isn't it enough?" Mu Jiu's voice was cold, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "This dogwood blood lotus is really getting more and more greedy, in the past, the blood of a dozen young girls could urge it to open, but now there are nearly a hundred, can't they satisfy it?" ”

Nearly a hundred?! Scarlet Smoke was shocked, she had only heard before that the person who plucked the blood lotus had to feed it with his own blood, otherwise it would disappear with the flower picker in a state that was almost burning before it was picked. But you don't want this blood lotus to open and need to be irrigated with the blood of so many children? The Dogwood Blood Lotus blooms once in six seasons, so to speak, every time the Blood Lotus blooms, there are children who count their hands and are persecuted? Could it be that Wei Chimu didn't find this blood lotus, but knew that the opening of this blood lotus required such an almost inhuman sacrifice, so he persevered for seven years in the pain of bloodthirsty poison invading his body?

The cruel reality made Scarlet Smoke a little overwhelmed for a while, she retreated in a daze, just wanted to leave here quickly, but she didn't care about the stones under her feet because she was a little lost, causing the stones to hit the stone wall and make a small sound. However, in such a quiet environment, even the slightest sound is amplified by I don't know how many times. Scarlet Yan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and then Mu Jiudi shouted from behind, "Who is there!" ”

When Scarlet Smoke was pressed by two black-clothed people who came out of nowhere and came to Mu Jiu, Scarlet Smoke obviously noticed the perversity that flashed in her eyes, it seems that Mu Jiu is still the same Mu Jiu as before, but she has just learned to disguise herself. Scarlet looked at her faintly and didn't say a word.

After many days, he actually met Scarlet Smoke in such an environment, which Mu Jiu had never expected. It is rare that the six princes of Southern Xinjiang handed over the task of the release of the dogwood blood lotus to her this time, but they didn't want the scarlet smoke to appear here. Mu Jiu's expression was complicated, she had admired a good-looking and extraordinary man like King Xinling for many years, and she didn't even care about the ridicule of some people in southern Xinjiang, she personally chased after the southern country, and soaked that man for so many years with bloodthirsty poison, but Wei Chimu's attitude towards her did not change at all.

But at the moment, this woman whose identity and appearance are not as good as her own, and she doesn't know what means she used, she can get the favor of Wei Chimu, which Mu Jiu can't figure out. The flame of jealousy almost burned her reason, but at the moment it was the most important thing to complete the task given to her by the sixth prince, so resisting the urge to peel it alive in her heart, Mu Jiu pulled out a stiff smile and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Scarlet Yan knew that Mu Jiu loved King Xinling, but he was very close to that man, with the girl's obedient nature, she naturally would not let her go easily, and she had to be manipulated by others, Scarlet Yan was not as uneasy as before, and did not respond to her words, but just glanced around at the corpses of the girl all around, and her cold voice was a little unbearable, "Won't you have nightmares?" Sacrificing so many girls for this demon flower, Southern Xinjiang is really generous. ”

Hearing this, Mu Jiu's delicate body was shocked, and then bursts of anger emanated from her body, how could she not have nightmares? Since taking on this task, every night her dreams are full of these young girls, familiar or unfamiliar faces, they are covered in blood one by one, looking at her coldly, no complaining or scolding, facing her in addition to cold eyes or cold eyes, because under her long sword, they didn't have time to say a word, so she pierced the heart with a sword and sacrificed the dogwood blood lotus. Plagued by nightmares every night, if it weren't for the fact that with this flower, he would have some chips, maybe Yu Chimu would be able to look at himself twice because of this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken on such a chore.

But Mu Jiu would not say these words to Scarlet Yan, let alone let her know the fear in her heart, so she learned from the pretense of those royal daughters of the southern Xinjiang royal family, evoked a bloodthirsty laugh, and said softly, "Nanguo is not necessarily much better than us, but it is just one step later than me." Since you are here, then let you also sacrifice this dogwood blood lotus. It is rumored that the blood lotus blooms extremely beautifully, and you are lucky enough to see this scene, which can be regarded as blessed. ”

After that, Mu Jiu raised her long sword, and was about to pierce her heart with a sword like before, but thinking of Yu Chimu's favor for her, and thinking of the scarlet smoke before that bluntly said what she was afraid of in her heart, she couldn't help but feel that a sword piercing her heart was too cheap for her, and only by letting her clearly perceive the passage of life and torturing her little by little could she relieve the hatred in her heart.

Thinking of this, Mu Jiu sneered, raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the long sword cut through the artery of Scarlet Smoke's wrist, and the blood fell directly into the soil where the dogwood blood lotus took root. Scarlet was stunned for a moment, the huge pain from her wrist and the powerlessness of the blood gushing out of her heart both hit her heart, and after a while, she felt a trance in front of her, and the smile on Mu Jiu's face became more and more hideous. Scarlet Silver Tooth bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, and the severe pain made her mind calm down a little, and she opened her eyes wide to look at the dogwood blood lotus.

In the surprised eyes of the two, the blood-red petals as thin as cicada wings stretched out like a beauty who had just woken up, and stretched out one petal after another, revealing a pink and charming flower heart. The lotus petals trembled slightly, and the tips of the scarlet smoke trembled. This flower is indeed extremely beautiful, but I don't know how much girl's blood it sucked to bloom so movingly and bewitchingly.

Mu Jiu saw that the Dogwood Blood Lotus had bloomed, and her task would be completed, as long as she plucked the flower and put it in the special box, she would be able to return to Southern Xinjiang perfectly. Thinking of what the sixth prince had instructed before leaving, she must let the last girl who bleed to pick the flowers by herself, Mu Jiu couldn't help frowning, sure enough, the delicate flowers, the picking conditions are also so harsh, if there is no blood of scarlet smoke this time, she is afraid that she will have to bled to feed the flower by herself. Thinking about it this way, the woman who made her unhappy in every way helped her, so what about sparing her life?

Mu Jiu, who was accustomed to being high above and killing and snatching, gave his subordinates a look, and the two men in black loosened their confinement on the scarlet smoke, one of them took out a bottle from his chest, and poured the powder in the bottle on her wrist not so gently, and wiped it indiscriminately, and the painful scarlet smoke almost shed tears, but the blood near the wound was condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, just a word, the blood on the wrist gradually stopped, and the scarlet smoke couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, the medicine in southern Xinjiang was really wonderful.

Raising his eyes to look at Mu Jiu, whose face was slightly softened, Scarlet Yan mocked coldly, "The flowers are blooming, why don't you give me a good time?" ”

Mu Jiu snorted coldly, "You don't have to provoke me, if it were on weekdays, you would have died under my hands, and you are still retained, but for the sake of you helping Miss Ben, if you take off the blood lotus and give it to me, maybe Miss Ben will be in a good mood and let you go." ”

"Oh? Miss Mu is so capable, why didn't she pick this flower herself? Scarlet glanced at her and said slowly, "What if I don't want to help you pick flowers?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Jiu's beautiful eyes widened, and she said coquettishly, "That's not up to you, if you don't want to, then I'll cut off your hand." ”

As if amused by her words, Scarlet Smoke chuckled, and then said, "I'm just joking, Miss Mu is serious." "People are knives, I am fish and meat, Scarlet Smoke can only speak in a low voice in front of this good-tempered young lady, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.

In Mu Jiu's expectant gaze, Scarlet Yan stretched out her jade hand and pinched the flower stem of the dogwood blood lotus, and with a slight effort of her fingertips, she picked it off.
