Before the He family and the guide had left, I jumped off the tower and startled Ryozakura, who was holding the water. After a flash of surprise, the smile on her face was as bright as the peach of the mortal March: "Brother Ximu!"

"I'll help you. "I took the basin of water with my spiritual power and let it levitate above the palm of my hand, the magic ability of the guide is very weak, and the life is almost no different from that of mortal people except for astrology. Sakura and I walked along the path in the direction of the apse of the Night Hades Palace, she looked left and right looking at the novelties in the Night Hades Palace, and I looked at her figure and thought about the future marriage in my heart.

The matter of Ryozakura is irreversible, and I have to do it in order to maintain stability in the underworld, and in order to take care of the overall situation like my father. But Tuyin must be sad, if you don't marry Tuyin again, and treat Liang Sakura as a sister.

As soon as I reached the door of the apse, I heard my father's violent coughing, and the queen mother came out of the room, took the basin of water from my hand, and said to me, "Your father has a few words to tell you, go in quickly." ”

The apse was exceptionally deserted, and after crossing the large screen engraved with the Netherworld Sea and the flowers on the other side, I walked into the side room smoked with sandalwood. His father's injuries had not yet healed, and his voice was not as loud as before, and he seemed weak. Hearing my footsteps, my father slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed to the side of the bed. I walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, my father's slightly cloudy eyes looked directly at me and said, "This underworld will soon be yours, you used to be impatient, and in the future you will need someone to help you change it." ”

"I can change it alone. "Could it be that my father wants to talk about Liang Sakura, although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, but I still can't accept it. Father waved his hand: "Ximu, you must know that among the three major families, we need the ability of the guide the most, and the guide does not have much spiritual power, so there is no need to worry about threatening the He family, so that the underworld can be safe and sound for so many years." You are not king, not for the sake of the sound, but for the sake of the underworld. If you continue to ignore the overall situation like this, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate it. ”

If I don't agree to be with Ryozakura, I'm afraid I'll never see Tuyin again.

"Okay, I promise. "I almost gritted my teeth and said these words, my heart dripping blood, like a tear.

"May you do what you say you do, and don't think I don't know anything. Father looked away and sat up slowly: "Go down and call Ryozakura in." I helped my father to the three-legged black carved gold and jade seat in the main hall, and he motioned for me to go out and not eavesdrop, and I had to retreat even if I had any doubts.

After Liang Sakura entered, there was a sound of wind and snow in the hall, and my father used magic to set up a barrier to prevent me from eavesdropping.

I have no brothers and sisters, as I have been for generations, but it is cruel but the best way to avoid fratricidal rivalry and turmoil in the underworld. It is precisely because of this that I can't leave the underworld and the mortal world to wander alone with Tuyin, although I have the heart to resist but I really can't deal with it. In the past, I blindly thought that as long as I lived up to the sound, even if the country abandoned her, what would it be, just to get the heart of the Yiren. But now that I think about it, I was really naïve.

The underworld and Tuyin want to give up either of them, and my heart is like a knife, but now that the situation is forced, I just want to save Tuyin's life. It would be nice if she could die, and if she couldn't, I'd rather let her hate me.
