Chapter 312: The Little Snow Girl and the Ghost Mask
Contrary to what Qingyun had predicted, Yaksha and Mother Rakshasa did not expect that another person would suddenly appear in this snow-blowing place. Because the Snow Maiden has never liked outsiders entering their territory, they think that the monsters other than them are dirty things, and it is inevitable that they will defile their purity.
The barrier they had built with ice spells on the boundary line of the Blowing Snow Land was extremely difficult to break, and it took Qingyun considerable effort to successfully break into it with his men. But the man in green was not only able to cross the barrier, but he even had to meddle in rescuing the Snow Maiden's baby, which really made Yaksha and Mother Rakshasa angry.
At this moment, seeing that he finally stopped flying and landed on the ground, Yaksha was proud in his heart, thinking that the wound on his arm from his own flying shield was probably quite serious, so he gave up resisting. The situation was so panicked that the Rakshasa Mother didn't have time to see the face of the man in green, and at this moment, after careful inspection, she found that the enemy who had been killed halfway was actually a beautiful man.
She has always been greedy for beautiful men, and when she saw Tingyue, she suddenly felt pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "It's right if you don't run away, quickly hand over the little snow girl to us, not only do you not have to suffer, but you can also be friends with me, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." ”
"As soon as you see the handsome guy, you will make this old mistake again, this person is Ouyang Xueye's subordinate nine times out of ten, and you still want to be friends with him?!" Yaksha glared at the Rakshasa Mother with his all-white pupils, then turned to Tingyue on the other side and continued, "If you put that baby girl down, I can make sure you die a happy death!" ”
"When did Qingyun become interested in the Snow Girl?! Besides, what use is such a child to you?! Tingyue asked in order to let them down their guard and pretended to echo them.
"It's no wonder that their demon power can help our Lord Qingyun heal his injuries, but these lowly monsters are so useful!" Mother Rakshasa replied in disgust, thinking that their beauty made her jealous, and this time Qingyun ordered them to be exterminated, which was in line with her intentions.
"I see! Then I can't give this baby girl to you! ”
Tingyue responded to her with a shallow smile, which made her relax her vigilance, but she used her demonic power to form a cyclone while speaking. The Kazuki scimitar in his hand spun rapidly against the snowy light, refracting the harsh light from different angles. Yaksha and Mother Rakshasa only felt that their pupils were like needles pierced one by one, and the whiteness in their vision was connected at first, but soon only darkness remained.
"Hit the mark!" Yaksha shouted.
After the Blind Moon Shadow succeeded, Tingyue immediately summoned his demon horse, and in the black fog, his demon horse came from a distance to step on the snow. Seeing that he was about to take the orphan of the Snow Maiden to the horse, but the angry Rakshasa Mother recklessly activated the firearm in her arms, although he couldn't see it with his eyes, but the power of the firearm this time was completely different from just now. Enraged by her offer of favor in exchange for deception, she concentrated all her strength to spew out the hellfire from several holes in the firearm at the same time, and then intertwined into a giant fiery serpent.
The fire snake rushed towards Tingyue with its big mouth open, and he had no time to dodge, so he had to meet the right side of his body and raise his knife to resist with demonic power to drive the knife qi to form protection, while the left side of his body protected the baby well. But this hellfire was too violent, and the fire snake quickly broke through his demonic defenses, and his body was burned extensively, a pain he had never experienced before.
He stumbled backwards, and just as he was about to fall, he stumbled onto his horse. His consciousness had largely vanished after that, except that before he fell unconscious, he made sure that the baby in his arms was unharmed, and then tied her tightly to himself, and passed out.
When he woke up again, he was already lying in the Chenji Palace, his whole body was tightly wrapped in gauze, and every inch of skin on the right half of his body seemed to have been sucked up of all the water except for pain, as if even breathing hard would make it crack.
He said weakly, "I am ......"
Ouyang Xueye's face appeared in his sight, his gaze revealed deep distress, and he explained to him: "Don't get up, lie down well!" This room is adjacent to mine, and you have been left here so that the palace physician can treat you, and your condition is not suitable for movement now! ”
"Big brother, are you awake?" Mochizuki heard him wake up and ran to the bedside to ask.
"Listen to Brother Yue, they all say that heroes save beauty, but you are too young to sacrifice your life to save this beauty!" Although Ouyang Hongye was laughing and teasing him, his eyes were moist.
"I'm like this, you can spare me, alas......" Tingyue asked with a long breath, "By the way, how is the child?" ”
"She's fine, don't worry! We'll leave her in the care of Elder Yong's demon servants for the time being! Ouyang Xue replied at night.
"Tell us, who hurt you like this? The doctor said that such injuries could only have been caused by hellfire. Mochizuki couldn't hold back and ask him any longer.
The tragic situation when his brother Tingyue came back from outside almost broke down. Originally, according to Tingyuelin's plan before leaving the royal city, he would not return until at least half a month later, but on the third night after he left, Mochizuki was just about to fall asleep when he heard a knock at the courtyard door. The sound was not like a knock on a hand, but rather a heavy object hitting the door.
When he opened the door, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and his brother was lying on the back of the demon horse. It turned out that what he heard just now was the sound of the demon horse holding the door above his head, and it was difficult for it to pick some flat places to walk along the way, so that Tingyue would not fall off the horse.
But the most terrible thing is the condition of the right half of Tingyue's body, his skin and clothes are burned to a blur, the burned place has been eroded, and blood is still oozing outward. He lifted his brother from his horse, only to find that something was moving tightly wrapped in his left clothes, and when he untied his clothes, he saw that it was a baby. He recognized at a glance that this was no ordinary baby, and judging by her crystal clear skin, he could guess that she was a descendant of the Snow Maiden.
At this time, Mochizuki didn't care about the reason, he hugged his brother and the baby tightly and ran to Chenji Palace, hoping that the doctor in the palace could save his dying brother's life. His mind was blank, and he couldn't remember whether the first person he met was Ouyang Xueye or Ouyang Hongye, only that they took his brother and the baby he brought back from him and placed them in a room. And he watched quietly as the doctors hurried into his brother's resting room one by one, observed for a while, and then shook their heads and left silently.
"The villain is incompetent, and I'm afraid that Lord Tingyue will have scars on his body for the rest of his life!" A physician who specializes in treating burns said tremblingly.
"Even my best brother can't cure me, what do I want you for?!" Ouyang Xueye clenched her fists, glared at the doctor and shouted.
Seeing that Ouyang Xueye was really angry, the doctor quickly threw himself on the ground and explained, "The little one should be damned, but this is not an ordinary burn!" If it is an ordinary burn, it can be healed quickly with my ancestral burn ointment and Tingyue-sama's own healing ability, but the burns caused by the hellfire are a different matter, even the doctors in the divine domain may not be able to cure them well! ”
"What a waste, go down!" Ouyang Xueye waved his hand at him and said, he didn't want to look at him again, because he had heard the same words too many times today.
"Calm down, what's the use of being so angry?" Ouyang Hongye persuaded him on the side.
"I ...... Alas, Tingyue decided to go out this far away to help me find out the news, but I didn't expect to encounter an accident. Ouyang Xue glanced at Tingyue, who was still in a coma on the sickbed, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Only when he wakes up, then ask him who he was injured." The anger and chagrin in Ouyang Hongye's chest were actually no less than Ouyang Xueye, but at this time, he had to put his emotions down first, otherwise no one would be able to persuade Ouyang Xueye.
"It seems that this matter has something to do with the Snow Maiden in the Snow Blowing Land, otherwise he would not have brought back the baby girl out of thin air, and it stands to reason that the Snow Maiden will not leave the Snow Blowing Land until she reaches adulthood." Ouyang Xue Ye thought for a while and said.
Tingyue was in a coma for three days, woke up at noon on the fourth day, and told Ouyang Xueye and others what happened to him in the snow-blowing place. They analyzed that it was probably because the injuries suffered by Qingyun during the battle with the first demon king Fox Li were still not completely healed, and after lurking for so long, he has recently appeared frequently in various parts of the demon world, looking for prey, and using the devouring method to absorb their demon power for him to heal, and the snow maidens have also suffered because of this.
The snow-blowing land has become a barren ghost town, and the snow soon buries the bones of the Snow Maidens, and without them, only the boundless pure white remains. Ouyang Yong named the little snow girl rescued by Tingyue Miao Xue You, and she became an orphan and naturally stayed in Chenji Palace.
It took a long time for Tingyue to heal from the Rakshasa Mother's burns, but unfortunately it left a very ugly scar, which was more like a birthmark, extending from the right half of his face to his waist. He had destroyed all the mirrors in the center of the sycamore, along with his own portraits, and seeing them again only added to his pain, and his former proud face was now no different from a monster.
The craftsmen in Ouyang Xue's Night Destiny Palace made a mask for him, and the mask was made according to Tingyue's own requirements, and he insisted on choosing the pattern of evil ghosts. The demon mask with two golden horns, a pale face, a red eyeliner, and a huge mouth looked very scary, and he chose it just to make everyone else stay away from him, and no one would stop for his appearance from now on.
His personality also changed dramatically, from the original gentle and elegant, to impatient and irritable, he would often be angry with his brother Mochizuki or two friends, and even he began to dislike himself. Although Ouyang Xueye and they still treated him the same as before, maybe after his appearance became ugly, his heart also became dark, and he always felt that they were pitying him, and gradually began to avoid their invitation.
During those days, it was only when he saw Miaoxue that his heart calmed down a little. The beautiful little girl had never been frightened to tears by his appearance, but on the contrary, she smiled so sweetly every time she saw him, and he guessed that this might be the fate between them. Watching her go from toddler to babbling also made him feel that the pain he endured was not in vain.
She always opened her arms and noisily asked him to lift herself high, never afraid to get close to his mask, sometimes she would quietly gather some beautiful little flowers from the courtyard floor, and show him when he came, and sometimes she would learn a little song with the servant and sing it to him.
In his eyes, this little snow girl, who has lost all her kind of race soon after birth, is like a dandelion that can take root when it lands, and can thrive wherever it floats, and then bring flawless white and endless happiness to others.
His closed heart was gradually infected by her vigorous vitality, and the wounds of his soul slowly healed, and he returned to his friends and became close to his brother again.
