"Arnold!" Seeing this, the heart demon couldn't help but shout, as if he couldn't believe it, he trembled and stretched out his hand to touch Arnold, but immediately retracted when he was about to touch it, "This is not true! This is not true! ”

The heart demon screamed, his hands over his head and trembling. The dark reds that flowed on the ground spread one after another on her pink clothes, and bloomed into gorgeous mandala flowers on the banks of the Lethe River.

Zi Yu immediately stopped when he saw Arnold fall to the ground, and squatted down on the other side of Arnold to check his situation, while Ji Liuhuo stood in place with his hands down, looking at the blood stains spreading on the ground as if he was in a trance.

At this moment, the heart demon sitting on the ground suddenly raised his head, raised his hand and quickly hit Ji Liuhuo with his head down.

"Be careful!"

It's just that the heart demon is close to Ji Liuhuo, even if Ji Liuhuo immediately resists when he hears the sound, it is a little late, plus this is a blow that the heart demon uses all his strength, although he was cremated by Ji Liu, he was also injured and was beaten back several steps.

The heart demon struggled to swallow the blood that poured up his throat, but the blood in his eyes became thicker and thicker. Her voice was strange and strange, accompanied by a sad smile: "Arnold can only die at my hands, how can you hurt him!" ”

The heart demon said that he was about to strike again, but Ziyu had already made a move to restrain it, and the vines that turned into it firmly bound it.

After tying up the heart demon, Zi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ji Liuhuo and asked with some concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Ji Liuhuo shook his head: "It's fine." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to Zi Yu, added several more spells to the vines, and only then looked at Zi Yu when he was sure that the demon couldn't struggle: "Arnold, how is he?" ”

Zi Yu sighed: "His soul body was almost destroyed, causing his own heavy injury, I'm afraid it will ......"

Arnold helped Ziyu because of Fang Cai, and his energy recovered a little at this time, he got up from the ground with difficulty, and said to Ziyu: "Princess, Naidan Arnold has taken it out last night, and when it goes out, Lord Ji will hand it over to you." ”

After he finished speaking, he stumbled in front of the demon: "If Arnold's dead master is willing to get rid of the demon, then Arnold is willing to die." ”

Arnold knelt down in front of the heart demon as he spoke, kowtowed solemnly three times to the heart demon with red eyes, and choked up: "Arnold thank the master for his kindness." One is to thank you for saving you from the dead, two to thank you for taking in the teachings, and three to thank you for not giving up for many years. ”

"Master, Arnold will die to solve your thoughts, and I will fulfill my wishes." Arnold smiled at the heart demon with tears in his eyes, "May the master demon return to his soul and die as soon as possible." ”

After Arnold finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pinched the trick and hit it towards his own Heavenly Spirit Gai, Ziyu and Ji Liuhuo didn't expect Arnold to end his life in such a tragic way, and they wanted to stop it but it was too late, they could only watch Arnold's spirit be destroyed, and gradually turn into a little fluorescent.

This little bit of fluorescence dissipated in the moonlight little by little, and the demons on the side were no longer crying. She struggled desperately to untie herself, but in vain, she could only watch as the broken souls gradually faded away in the vast night.

The blood in the eyes of the heart demon had faded at this time, and the two fingers had returned to normal. If it weren't for the fact that her clothes were already bloodstained, Ziyu would almost have regarded her as an innocent Xu Shiyan.

Or perhaps, the demon that has returned to normal is actually a remnant of Xu Shiyan.

"Arnold, Arnold." The heart demon whispered, his voice mixed with infinite remorse and self-blame. She raised her head blankly to look at the last bit of fluorescence disappearing, and her voice was thin and slight: "I actually, I just want you to go with me." I just, just want to take care of you all the time. ”

Tears slipped down her face little by little, but she still looked at a certain point in the moonlit night as if she didn't know: "On the day my mother died, my father came to Xufu to pick up my grandmother and return to Beijing to see my mother off, but he didn't take me away on the grounds that I was not in good health. After my father left, I quietly slipped out of Xu's mansion, but I was found before I could go far. Just as I was about to get into the carriage and go back with them, I saw you, Arnold. ”

"At first, you were not close to your family, and you were only docile and well-behaved in front of me, and once you found out that I was out of your sight, you would immediately rush to find me."

The vines that bound the heart demon had disappeared at some point, and the heart demon staggered to his feet, walking step by step towards the bed where Xu Shiyan slept in the house.

Ziyu didn't say anything, and walked in with Ji Liuhuo.

There was a soft cushion on the bottom side of the bed, and a snow-white cat was sleeping on it. The demon crouched down in front of the cat, stretched out his trembling hand, and stroked the cat slowly and carefully.

Big tears fell from her eyes, but she didn't notice it, she still looked at the sleeping cat intently, and when she spoke again, her voice was already full of thick crying: "I want you to die, I just want you to come to me when you die, so that I can always take care of you." The heart demon paused, and his voice suddenly became very soft and soft, "But now that you are gone, I will never find you again." ”

When the inner demon said this, his body gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely, without a trace.

Inside, the two of them and the cat still slept soundly, and everything that had happened before did not disturb them in the slightest.

This is Xu Shiyan's soul, this is Xu Shiyan's memory, Xu Shiyan in her memory is full of expectations for the future at this time, but she will not know at this time that her future is unexpected.

"Let's go." Zi Yu whispered to the Ji Liuhuo on the side, turned around and left this soul path.

Seeing this, Ji Liuhuo also followed, and the two of them walked through the rest of the soul path without saying a word, and walked out of it.

In the house, the sun was just as good as when they left, and Arnold's original form was lying next to Xu Shiyan, with both eyes closed for a person and a cat. There is a faint tenderness between the eyebrows and eyes, as if he has dreamed of something extremely beautiful.

But Ziyu knew that the two of them would die one by one and pass away forever, and they would never have anything to do with each other again.

For some reason, Ziyu's eyes suddenly turned red. She walked to the soft collapse, and used the spell to send Xu Shiyan back to the place where she had originally laid, put Arnold beside her, then turned around and walked out of the igloo, sealing the stone door with a magic trick.

And this dark passage was also destroyed by Ziyu.

In this way, no one will disturb them again, Zi Yu thought to herself, but tears fell uncontrollably.

It took a while for Ziyu to stop her tears, and took out the Nedan that Ji Liuhuo handed to her when she came out of the soul path before, looked at the lifeless Tanuki lying on the bed with a complicated expression, and carefully put the Nedan into the water and let the Tanuki swallow it.

After doing these things, Ziyu could no longer hold back the exhaustion that came to her, and fell asleep on the edge of the raccoon bed in a trance.

It was already five days later when Ziyu woke up, and when she woke up, she only felt a terrible headache, and those memories from before came like a tide, the realm of the Nine Heavens, the top of Kunlun, and some vague things also became clear in Ziyu's heart.

At this moment, Tanuki suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, and saw that Ziyu had woken up, but he was sitting on the bed with his head in his arms and hurriedly walked over: "Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" Is it a headache? ”

Tanuki wanted to step forward to explore Ziyu's head as he spoke, but Ziyu suddenly raised his head at this time, and looked at Tanuki's eyes in a trance: "Tanuki ......"

Tanuki had just stretched out half of his hand and then froze in mid-air, he looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and that person overlapped with the one in his memory little by little. As if he couldn't believe it, he shouted hesitantly, "Lord...... Master? ”

"Tanuki, it's me." Nan Hotaru gently rubbed her temples, her movements looked casual but noble, "I remember everything." ”

Nan Hotaru woke up and opened her eyes again, her eyes clear and clear. She smiled at the raccoon dog as she had done for tens of thousands of years, smiling with crooked eyebrows, but with inexplicable alienation: "Tanuki, you've worked hard all these years." ”

The raccoon dog's eyes suddenly turned red: "Master, the raccoon dog is not hard." Being able to take care of the master over the years is a blessing for the raccoon, the ...... of the raccoon dog."

"Alright." Nan Hotaru looked at the raccoon with a funny look, "Speaking of Ah Yan and Ah Li, why didn't I notice the breath of the two of them here?" ”

"The Green Dragon Divine Monarch and the White Tiger Divine Monarch have already gone to find the Snake Demon first."

"Well, that's right."

Nan Hotaru lifted the quilt and turned over and got out of bed. Seeing this, Tanuki wanted to reach out to help, but he shrank back as soon as he took a step.

The person in front of him is an ancient divine beast with a respected status, a noble Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, a heavenly god of war who is feared by the gods, a powerful Sinan Venerable, and a kind and benevolent master, but he is not the righteous sister of the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, not his little pleasure.

She no longer needs his careful care, nor does she need his protection, or even, she doesn't need him.

And his little Yu'er is dead. By the time her sleeping soul awoke, and when her lost memories were restored, his little Yu'er was dead and would never return.

Tanuki hid his hand in his wide sleeve, even though his nails pierced into his palm and stinged, his face was still expressionless, and he looked at Nan Ying with a respectful expression: "Since the master has remembered the past, can you tell the Qinglong Divine Monarch and the White Tiger Divine Monarch, the true identity of the master?" ”

Nan Ying smiled when she heard this: "Not for the time being. The void has not been removed, and I don't want anyone to know about my life except for Xiaosu. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Nan Ying said, "If Ah Yan and Ah Li know that I am not dead, I am afraid that they will have no intention of avenging me anymore, and will only be bent on bringing me back to the Heavenly Realm and finding a way to retrieve my body for me." ”

"But the retreat that Nuwa Ancient God tried his best to deploy for me before his death is not for me to continue the love of these children."

"If you don't die, the world will eventually be in chaos. The purple hosta flower I possessed is a trump card for me to deal with the void in the future. Since it is a trump card, how can it be easy for others to know the identity. Nan Hotaru smiled at the raccoon, "Tanuki, you should understand what I mean." ”
