Chapter 221: The Time to Escape
"I didn't expect that there would be someone who was more innocent than I used to be, hahahaha...... Then, I will not let you die so easily, and time will prove that your current persistence is nothing but a futile struggle. No matter how hard you try, you can't change your fate as a monster like a god and demon and being used by Qiansu after all. After speaking, the dove demon used his beak to tear a hole in his body exposed outside the ice, and black blood came out of the hole, "Little girl, feed him my blood, only by taking blood while I am alive can we cure the poison in him." ”
Yueqin hesitated for a moment whether to believe his words, but then she transformed into a bamboo tube and filled it with the blood dripping from the dove demon. Before he died, the dove demon told Feng Lan and Yueqin about the reason why he became a demon, and Feng Lan was shaken by his story, and even wanted to let him live at a certain moment.
But his idea was rejected by the dove demon, and the continued weakness of his body made the dove demon temporarily regain his senses, and he said to Feng Lan and Yueqin: "I have long become a slave of the demon in my body, as long as I live for a day, I will irrepressibly hurt other demons." Maybe I've been waiting for someone to give me a break, and now I've finally found this person, and it's you! Please, Fenglan! You are like me once were, and to die at your hands makes me feel that all the efforts I have made to change other people's perceptions are worthwhile! ”
"Okay!" Feng Lan realized the meaning of the dove demon's words, and didn't persuade him to do anything more, but just summoned the ice blade again, and used the last of his strength to cleanly cut off the dove demon's head, and then he fainted.
When he woke up again, he had already been taken back to the Divine Judgment Courtyard in the Divine Domain. Yueqin fed him the blood of the dove demon after he fell into a coma, although the dove demon did not lie, this blood can indeed cure the poison in Feng Lan's body, but because he was too deeply poisoned at that time, and he was seriously injured, he was in a coma for more than half a month before he was out of danger. When he woke up again, in front of him were Yueqin's eyes that could always be seen in his sleepy dreams, but in his dreams, she had various expressions.
"Brother Lan......" Yueqin called to him as she threw herself into his arms.
"Well, I'm worried about you!" Feng Lan won weakly, and then gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
He thought he must be hallucinating, as Tsukito's eyes, which had been buried in his chest, seemed to be weeping, and were soaked through his light clothes. He remembered that from the day she entered the Divine Judgment House at the age of six, he had never seen her shed a single tear.
"I thought you would never wake up again, although Mr. Qingyuan told me to wait patiently. Wait a little longer and you'll wake up, but...... But I'm still scared. I am afraid that the dove has deceived us, and I am afraid that his blood will not cure you of the poison, but I am the one who made you drink his blood. Yueqin raised her head and choked up, although there was still no expression on her face, tears kept pouring out of her eyes.
Tears one by one, like pearls rolling down her cheeks, reflecting the light coming in from the window, showing many colors, lining Yueqin's fair cheeks became more and more beautiful, Feng Lan couldn't help but reach out to catch her tears.
Feng Lan, who was holding her tears, smiled stupidly and said, "I really want to save these tears of yours, for me, they are more precious than any rare treasure, and it is worth it how many times I die!" ”
Yueqin looked at Feng Lan's smile and could see it, although he had just woken up from a coma, and his face and lips were a little pale, his smile was as bright as ever. In the days she waited for him to wake up, she felt that the world in her eyes had lost its color, but now those colors were back in her eyes. She finally understood that Feng Lan's meaning to her was different from anyone else's, but she still didn't quite understand what this affection was.
Since the Dove Demon incident, both Fenglan and Yueqin have gradually changed. In the past, they only mechanically completed the tasks assigned to them by the gods, never asking about the cause and effect, but now they began to think about the real reason why these monsters became demons. And between them, they are no longer just simple companions as before, Yueqin, who acts separately from Feng Lan, will always miss and worry about him, and his eyes will always inadvertently skip others to capture his every move, and Feng Lan is the same.
When God judges with concerns and emotions, it becomes unusually painful to act, and every task seems to become an ordeal. Feng Lan's mind kept coming up with what the dove demon had said, time would overturn everything he had believed in the past, had this sentence become a curse on him?
Whether in the Demon Realm or the Divine Realm, other people's feelings about the Divine Judgment are always extremely complicated, their status as children of gods and demons makes them despised by the people around them, but at the same time, their amazing power makes those people full of fear.
Even if they do their job against the darkest forces that exist in all walks of life, and persist in order to protect others from the same fate as them, they do not gain any gratitude for it. In fact, Feng Lan and Yueqin didn't care about these things, but when they continued to suppress their love for each other because of their status as divine judges, other negative emotions also swelled together, and this chain reaction contributed to their eventual outbreak.
Once, after they successfully imprisoned the demon in the Black Fire Purgatory, it was just in time for the New Year's celebration of the Demon King City. That night, they stayed behind after consulting with Yin Zhen and Meng'er. They have lost count of the number of times they have been brushing past similar celebrations, and no matter how much they look forward to it, they will return to the Divine Realm as soon as they complete their mission. But on this day, faced with the constant laughter and laughter of the demons in the brightly lit shopping streets, and the strange knick-knick-kknacks peddling in various shops and stalls, they secretly decided to let themselves go for once.
At Feng Lan's suggestion, the four of them changed into civilian clothes, put on masks, hid their respective powers of gods and demons, and then blended into the celebration. Feng Lan naturally took Yueqin's hand and wandered around wantonly, buying all the goods she liked as gifts, taking her to taste all kinds of snacks, and accompanying her to taste the demon wine with plum blossoms for the first time at the soju stall.
It was a time of joy that they had not had in the hundreds of years since they were born, and happiness passed through the tightly held palms into each other's bodies, and then followed by the blood into the hearts. But what filled their hearts was not all joy, but also endless sadness, because they had already set a deadline for themselves, and before the sun rose the next day, they would return to the Divine Realm, and everything at this moment could only become their secrets and memories that could not be shared with anyone.
Time passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the celebration was coming to an end, and there were fewer and fewer demons on the street, and Yin Zhen and Meng'er had long since disappeared. The lights around her kept dimming, Feng Lan felt that Yueqin was holding her hand but it was getting tighter and tighter, as if she wanted him to be a part of her body, he understood her feelings, and when she thought that this good time was short after all, how could she not be reluctant.
"Brother Lan, I know it may be silly to say this, but if only tomorrow never came!" Wearing a mask, Yueqin said quietly.
"yes, I always feel like there's still a lot of things I want to do. Hehe, we have lived for so long, but there are so few times when we are really happy. Feng Lan replied helplessly.
"I just want to be like this forever, I can touch you without any worries, hug you, and tell you everything I want to say......" Yueqin didn't know if it was because of the demon wine, and the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time suddenly blurted out.
Feng Lan stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then he picked up the Yueqin and ran down the street, at this time there happened to be snowflakes floating in the sky, and everything in his vision was hazy due to the large snow, like a beautiful dream.
He took her to almost all the inns in the royal city, and finally found an empty room. Tomorrow seemed to be no longer important, at least on this night, he wanted to embrace her, kiss her forehead and bun to sleep, and keep repeating in her ear the thoughts of the past that he could not pour out even if they were close at hand......
But they didn't know at the time that the curve of their fate that had been set for each other would be completely turned upside down that night. Although on the surface, the gods did not suspect them, in fact, rumors of the forbidden love between them that were not allowed had already spread in the divine domain. Qiansu understood that it would be difficult to cultivate a divine judgment like the four of them after all, so he wanted to turn a blind eye, but the fact that it was even worse soon became apparent, and it was not long before Yueqin realized that she was pregnant.
This little life would never be allowed by the gods, but Yueqin was looking forward to the arrival of her and Fenglan's children in this world, and she couldn't wait to hold their children in her arms to see what she would be like.
As time passed, this secret was no longer hidden, and all she could do was escape, and in order not to disturb Feng Lan and the other two companions, she left the Divine Domain alone, and has not been heard from since.
After leaving the Divine Domain, Yueqin hid in the Demon Realm, giving birth to and raising her daughter with Feng Lan alone, and she named their child Dong Qing. During this time, Tenjin Qiansu has been sending his men to search for her whereabouts, and Feng Lan has never given up any opportunity to find her. Finally, when Dong Qing was six years old, the whereabouts of their mother and daughter were mastered by the god Qiansu, although he tried his best to hide it, but it was still known by Feng Lan, and the other hands of Qiansu found Yueqin next.
When Feng Lan finally saw Yueqin again, who he had been longing for, she dodged him, trying to break free from the hand he was holding, but he still desperately held her tightly, and he could feel the warmth coming from the palm of his hand exactly the same as that night many years ago.
