Chapter Forty-Six: Immortal Island
"It's useless to keep dwelling on these now, the reason why Xia Qiu made such a choice is for the fate of the entire demon world, we should respect her decision, and be worthy of her sacrifice. Lord Yong and Elder Cheng are still waiting for us in the royal city, all we can do now is to rush back to the royal city as quickly as possible, hand over the Heavenly Runes to them, and then make plans!" Ouyang Hongye said to the others.
At this time, he seemed unusually calm, and in the eyes of others, his calmness was a little close to indifference, and even compared to the gentle him in the past.
He could fully understand why Xia Qiu would make such a choice, just like when she would choose to become Ouyang Xiaoleng's blood alliance contractor without hesitation, this human girl has extraordinary firmness and courage, and he was not moved and stunned by her decision, because she has too many shadows of Ran Susu.
"Hehe, all you care about is whether this person can successfully ascend to the throne of the demon world, right?" Qianqi sneered and pointed at Ouyang Xiao and shouted.
Although this was just an angry sentence, Ouyang Xiaoleng's already complicated mood was still ignited by him all at once, making all his calmness disappear in an instant, and he forcefully knocked his hand off in front of him, such a move that he couldn't do on weekdays anyway.
"What? Want to fight? "Qianqi has finally found an outlet for his uneasiness and anger, although the demonic power cannot be stretched here, but this moment of bare-handed competition may be more appropriate.
"That's exactly what I mean." Ouyang Xiaoleng also opened his posture to prepare for battle, but was stopped by Ouyang Hongye.
"Mochizuki, Fenghuo, you hold a thousand horses!" Ouyang Hongye shouted.
Although the two teenagers were pulled apart for a distance, their bodies were still struggling, as if they were two bows that had been tightened, and they would pop out as long as they let go of their hands.
"Now is not the time to fight, you guys are wasting your time! Why did Xia Qiu take the initiative to go to Eternal Life Island, don't you know in your hearts?! Ouyang Hongye looked at Xiao Leng and Qianqi and asked rhetorically.
Listening to his words, the two teenagers seemed to have finally calmed down, in fact, they had already understood in their hearts that fighting could not be exchanged for Xia Qiu at all, and they knew better why she made such a choice, but they were unwilling to accept the separation from her for a while, they looked at the emerald green and glittering Changsheng Island in the distance for a long time, and finally decided to follow Ouyang Hongye's advice to return to the royal city Yongchuan first.
"After solving the crisis in the demon world, if the Yuhe Immortal has not fulfilled his promise to return in Xia Qiu, I will definitely return here in person, and I will take her away no matter what method I use!" Qianqi stepped on his demon horse koi as he spoke, and then shouted loudly in the direction of Immortal Island, "Xiaqiu, wait for me!" ”
Although Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't speak, he had the same idea as Qianqi in his heart, just now he didn't even say goodbye to Xia Qiu properly, but now he had to leave her here like this. He felt that since he appeared in front of her again, the only thing he had brought to her was only harm, and what strength did she rely on to support her who had endured all this silently? Since entering the Immortal Crane Spring Township, the crown of the demon king in his body has not felt her existence, although the sense of emptiness is boundless, now he has to bear it alone.
Xia Qiu didn't know how long the Feather Crane Immortal would keep her, but she firmly believed that he would not break his promise, everything on Immortal Island was so beautiful that she even began to feel that it was not bad to stay here for the time being.
Just a breeze blows, and the scenery of the island seems to change a little more, and the butterflies and birds that fly by gradually become familiar with her, and begin to fly around her, and as soon as she stretches out her palm, they fall on it in turn without hesitation, and it feels itchy but very comfortable. And the smell of the flowers that came with the wind, so that she gradually forgot all her troubles and sorrows, and only for a moment she had the slightest thought of wanting to stay here forever.
She remembered that she had the same idea when she first came to the Demon Realm, when she saw the purple sky for the first time, and also tried to fly in the air for the first time, and was completely shocked by the majestic Chenji Palace, she wondered if it was the way to find the runes that made her a little tired, so she wanted to stop.
And she thought of another reason why it was worth staying, so she said: "I really want to exercise my soul separation ability, because the strength of the other people here is obviously less than mine, and if I can better master the soul separation ability, it will definitely help my companions." ”
So far, she's only had two complete Soul Separation experiences, and both of them have been done unconsciously, and it's uncertain how exactly she can use this ability, but if she can really use her Soul Separation to travel freely in a specific location like the Feathered Crane Immortals, it will be not only interesting, but also collect a lot of important information.
"Soul detachment can be called a talent because it is an innate ability, so sometimes the more you push it, the more you can't complete it. Everyone who has the ability to depart has their own unique way of entering the state of detached, and I integrate myself into nature. Go with the flow, imagine yourself in the wind, in the water, imagine yourself as a part of nature, the more relaxed my body is, the more free my soul will be, the more I can use the power of nature to go where I want to go, and it is not easy to get lost and hurt my soul. You have to find your own way first, and then you can start to discover your abilities, and with your potential, you have a good chance of surpassing me. ”
The Feather Crane Immortal, who had lived alone on Immortal Island for a long time, had unknowingly said so many things to Xia Qiu, and since he woke up on this island, all the words he had spoken didn't seem to add up to so much. The farther away the Heavenly Fu was from him, the more he felt that his body was getting weaker, and this weakness was very obvious, and he wanted to have something to do with the deteriorating physical condition and the life of the entire Immortal Island.
"I'd like to take a break, and if you want, take a walk around the island, you won't be disappointed." As he spoke, the feathered crane stood up and walked to the edge of the stone pavilion, leaned against the railing and sat down, and as soon as he sat down, he fell into a deep sleep, causing birds and butterflies to fall on him one after another, and fell asleep with him.
Xia Qiu couldn't bear to disturb him anymore, in her opinion, he had really become one with this island, if this island was a beautiful picture, then he was the fairy on this picture, and she was in this picture scroll at the moment.
Thinking about what he said about how everyone has their own way of using the soul, she got up and walked towards the stone pavilion, she also wanted to take in all the beauty of this place, to observe the strange flowers up close, to smell the fragrance of each flower.
Walking slowly along the gravel-paved path among the flowers, breathing in the scent of earth and flowers, only a fairy like the Feathered Crane Immortal can grow such beautiful flowers. Each landscape has an indescribable chic, and some of them look very playful and cute, and when you look at it from the air, you feel that Changsheng Island is not very big, but it takes a lot of effort to really go through the whole island.
She guessed that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others must have embarked on the road back to the royal city of Yongchuan, according to Elder Hecheng's agreement, once the crisis in the demon world is lifted, Ouyang Xiaoleng should be able to successfully ascend to the throne of the demon world, and like his grandfather and father, he will become a new generation of demon king fox. She imagined him walking slowly in the Chenji Palace in a gorgeous costume, and he would walk along the red carpet in the center of the Tianquan Hall all the way to his throne, in the midst of all the attention, but unfortunately she would probably not be able to witness him with her own eyes at this moment.
Suddenly, something flashed in front of her, and she saw a lilac camellia withering in front of her, and she couldn't believe her eyes, and looked at it intently, and several flowers next to her quickly withered one after another. The petals lost their moisture in an instant, then fell off the stem, spun and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of camellia died one by one.
She had a bad premonition, and suddenly remembered the feathered crane immortal's too pale skin and bloodless lips, he must have been very difficult to be weak without the heavenly talisman, especially since he still had to maintain these lives on the entire island, she noticed that the noisy birdsong had subsided at some point, and the island seemed to fall asleep with him, she hurriedly turned around and ran towards the stone pavilion.
She returned to the stone pavilion, where the Feathered Crane Immortal was still lying quietly against the railing, his face paler than before, one hand on his chest and the other on the railing, and she stepped forward, and found that his breathing was so light and slow that she knew that he must be too tired. At the thought of what he said, that the whole island would gradually die with the decline of his power, her whole heart was filled with pathos, what kind of person would exchange his most important thing for the short-term companionship of others, not to mention that she could not give him anything when she met him.
He slept peacefully, occasionally fluttering his eyelashes, the straps on his headdress and the heavy white robe on his body fell to the ground, and she sat down in front of the railing next to him and looked at him for a while, unconsciously feeling sleepy.
She closed her eyes and took a nap for a while, and she actually dreamed about the things in the Chenji Palace, or maybe it wasn't a dream, because everything seemed too real.
Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng stayed in the Heavenly Power Hall day and night, continuing to use their own strength to prevent the leakage of the divine power in the Divine Pillar, although after Ouyang Xiaoleng and they found the Earth Talisman, the two pillars of Qinglong and White Tiger had been controlled, but the situation of the two pillars of Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu seemed to be even worse. The two elders were getting old, and they were weakened by over-focus and constant exertion, but the crisis also contributed to their inevitable chance to be alone, and over the years their hearts had been diminished by half because of the company of these days, and they began their first real conversation in years.
