Chapter Twenty-Eight: Gone to Dust
"Then what am I going to do?" Lan Yao asked in a low voice, it turned out that his beauty plan didn't work because Wang was too slow to react.
"Do you want to be a princess, or do you want to be a quiet little demon fox?" Little Eggplant decided to take the right medicine.
"Of course it's a little demon fox, but I don't want to be a pillow." Lan Yao replied.
"Then you can go and get a new pillow, and then you will be free, but you have to work hard to learn spells, after all, it is dangerous for you to leave the palace and look so beautiful." Little Eggplant suggested to Lan Yao, his eyes full of sincerity. "But I'm going to have no friends when you're gone." It murmured.
"I can take you with me." Lan Yao is not a demon who forgets her friends with freedom, she is very righteous. So Little Eggplant reluctantly agreed with Lan Yao's idea.
From this day on, Lan Yao no longer complained, and got up early every day to recite the mantra, clean the back of the palace, trim the back of flowers and plants, soak in the hot springs, and even when he was sleeping, the fox's mouth was gently squirming. Because she knew that only by mastering some mana would it not be so dangerous to go out and get a new pillow. Chiqiong was very satisfied with Lan Yao's changes, his pillow was a progressive pillow, so every time he returned to the palace, he gave her a pill, and every time she ate one, she felt that her mana seemed to have increased a little. Such boring and repetitive days have been a hundred years.
Lan Yao felt very guilty recently, because she said that she was going to take the little eggplant out of the house, but since the hundred-year-old Dan Appreciation Festival Chiqiong went there, every year after that, he waved his finger and burned the invitation clean, and he never opened it. Since the range of Red Dome's daily activities is in the Demon Realm, Lan Yao can't take the little eggplant out to see the open sky.
On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there seemed to be a sense of impending a storm. Lan Yao suddenly had a strange premonition, although it was no problem for her to use her mana to clean up, summon small stones, teleport, and soar through the clouds, but for her to resist aggression, her mana was still too low. So she ran to find Little Eggplant again, after all, Little Eggplant is a jack of all trades.
"Lan Yao." For the first time, Little Eggplant suddenly spoke to Lan Yao in a low voice. "What's wrong with you, little eggplant?" Lan Xiao suddenly felt a little scared, as if the ominous premonition was about to be verified.
"I'm leaving." Little Eggplant hung his head and whispered.
"Where are you going? I haven't been able to follow the king ······."
"I've been cultivating for 10,000 years, and I'll actually transform into a human, but I think it's happier to be a flower and plant and chat with you." Little Eggplant interrupted Lan Yao's words, "This time is my calamity, if I can bear it, I can fly into an immortal, I will not be an ordinary flower and plant, I will be an immortal grass." ”
"That's good luck." Lan Yao was reluctant to let the little eggplant go, her eyes were already red, but she desperately held back the tears that slipped down.
"If so······ If I can't bear it, I'll be gone——。 It took a long time for the little eggplant to dare to say the second half of the sentence. Lan Yao finally couldn't help crying, she held the little eggplant with both hands, and read in her mouth, "I don't want you to die, don't be afraid, little eggplant, I'll accompany you, it's a big deal for us to leave together, I only have one friend here, you are gone, what should I do!" ”
"Lan Yao, your spell is so bad, you can't afford the three heavenly thunders at all, you go into the palace quickly, go there, and you'll be safe." The little eggplant couldn't help it and cried, and its tears fell into the soil and soaked the ground.
"No, I'm not leaving!" Lan Xiao stubbornly protected the little eggplant and refused to move a step. In the past hundred years, the little eggplant has told her many stories, but she has never complained that she didn't take it out. And most of the continuous improvement of her mana is actually the credit of the little eggplant, which has taught her too much.
Suddenly, the sound of thunder rang out, and that day the thunder seemed to be moving quickly in the direction of the little eggplant. Little Eggplant didn't want Lan Yao to be hurt at all, it was an adult after all, a pretty girl who matched the character of Little Eggplant, appeared in front of Lan Yao alive, Lan Yao tried to open her eyes wide, she knew that this person was Little Eggplant, she was reluctant to look away, she wanted to remember Little Eggplant's face deeply.
"Little eggplant, you're so good-looking." Lan Yao whispered, and the little eggplant couldn't stop smiling while crying, "Remember what I said, don't laugh casually." Lan Yao, if I succeed, I will definitely come back to see you often in the future. ”
Lan Yao nodded hurriedly, she felt the temperature of the little eggplant for the first time, the little eggplant was very thin, but the thin appearance made people feel that this was what the little eggplant should look like.
"Okay, Lan Yao, I'm really going to say goodbye to you." Little Eggplant couldn't help choking, "You're my best friend." After speaking, she waved hard, and Lan Yao was enveloped by the gentle light of the little eggplant, and then the light took her into the palace.
"Little eggplant—little eggplant—you open the door!" Lan Yao desperately pounded the gate of the palace, the door that opened when pushed on weekdays, but at the moment it didn't move, Lan Yao knew that the little eggplant was protecting her, but she didn't want it, she didn't want to lose her best friend.
"Honglong-" The first thunder fell, and the little eggplant was directly chopped to the ground, she didn't look at Lan Yao from beginning to end, she was afraid that she would be reluctant.
"Little eggplant! Little eggplant, don't be, I'll accompany you! Lan Yao's hand was clenched into a fist, and the door that she knocked on saw a trace of red, as if it was bloodstains.
"Honglong-" The second thunder fell, and the little eggplant couldn't hold on, spitting blood from her mouth, and she couldn't open her eyes.
"Honglong——" The third heavenly thunder finally came down, and after a while, the dark clouds always dispersed, and the sky was clear in an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion.
The door of the palace opened on its own.
Lan Yao ran like crazy to the little eggplant lying on the ground and dying.
"I'm sorry, I don't seem to be able to cultivate well, and I can't become a fairy anymore." The little eggplant slowly stretched out his fingertips, wanting to touch Lan Yao's face, but stopped in mid-air and hung down heavily.
"Little eggplant, don't scare me, you'll be fine, you wait for Chiqiong, you wait, Chiqiong will come back soon, he will save you, he is the king, he will definitely save you, little eggplant, little eggplant······" In Lan Yao's call again and again, the figure of the little eggplant, little by little, turned into fluorescence and dissipated in the air.
"No, little eggplant, why don't you wait······" Lan Yao finally fainted, and those delicate little hands, full of blood at the moment, bloomed little by little, like a flower on the other side.
