Chapter 217 - Hollow Valley Orchid (8)
Even after thinking about it countless times, Youlan still doesn't remember how many days she spent in that cave where she couldn't see her fingers, but she clearly remembered the tearing sound of her bones and flesh in the dark, as well as Pu Yang's back and Yin Mo's evil smile on his face.
I don't know how long this suffocating pain lasted, when Youlan's eyes suddenly saw the scene in this pitch-black cave clearly at a certain moment, and at the same time felt that the sharp pain in her body was slowly subsiding, and Pu Yangli's repeated words were no longer heard in her ears, and Yin Mo's disgusting cunning face was no longer in front of her. But when Youlan barely supported her body and wanted to brush away the messy hair on her forehead with her hands, she found that her hands and arms had turned into two giant red pincers with spikes!
At this time, Youlan saw that the lower half of her body had completely mutated, becoming a scorpion belly with four pairs of appendages, and a long scorpion tail was attached to it, and purple-black venom was still dripping from the barb-shaped stinger at the tip.
After losing her mind in fear for a moment, Youlan finally remembered Yin Mo and Wu Ma Xi's perfunctory explanation that day, and began to try to control the bulky scorpion tail and the hard giant claw covered with spikes. However, these things that seem to be born from Youlan's body are surprisingly unresponsive, and sometimes even when they reluctantly want to shake them, they will accidentally hurt Youlan herself.
I don't know how many days later, when Youlan was finally able to fully control the mutated body, and used the scorpion tail that had become very flexible to break the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave, she found that Wu Ma Xi, who had a calm face, was already waiting there leisurely. Youlan saw that she dared to appear in front of her so freely after throwing herself alone in the cave and suffering all the pain and torture, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in her heart, and the scorpion tail behind her stabbed straight at her.
Wu Ma Xi easily caught the scorpion tail that Youlan had stabbed, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then showed a strange smile towards the angry Youlan, "Youlan, why are you angry at me? Didn't I already give you what you wanted the most? Isn't this the powerful power you have always wanted?"
"Powerful power? is it to turn me into this kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost?" Youlan was angry and pulled away from the scorpion tail that Wu Ma Xi had grabbed, and roared at her angrily: "You knew early on that you would have such a painful drug reaction after taking that kind of pill, but you left me alone in this dark cave and let it go, this is obviously testing me on medicine!"
But in the face of the angry Youlan, Wu Ma Xi snorted lightly with a very impatient look, and sneered at Youlan: "What if I test you on the medicine? In the final analysis, isn't that also your own willingness? And judging from this final result, aren't you also very lucky to get the power you have been pursuing? In addition, what makes me feel the most ridiculous thing is that you actually come to blame us for keeping you here alone? Youlan, have you figured out your status and weight? I don't care what kind of starry life you lived before, but since you have chosen to draw power from us, don't put on the shelf of the eldest lady you used to be. In front of us, a small character like you, who is mediocre in ability, is just a pawn trying to survive on our handouts. So, you'd better do more useful things for us before your delicate good skin is old, and fulfill the duties of a chess piece, if you can really live to the day when you can't even sell your skin, we can still read the face of what you used to do for us, and give you a way to live. ”
Wu Ma Xi's cold words that day completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Youlan's heart, it was she who didn't listen to the only Pu Yangli who had stopped her, and insisted on stepping into someone else's chessboard, to be this chess piece that would be abandoned by them at any time, how could anyone give her a chance to regret it now?
So since then, Youlan, who is like ashes, has begun to live at the mercy of Wu Ma Xi and Yin Mo, but they have intensified even more wantonly, calling Youlan to perform all kinds of dangerous and strange tasks, and leaving her alone in the most dangerous situation at the last moment. However, Youlan miraculously survived from the danger of hanging by a thread again and again, and even Youlan herself was very puzzled by this.
It's like once Wu Ma Xi asked Youlan to go with her to catch a few cubs of the one-eyed horned dragon and come back for her to experiment, but Youlan was inadvertently discovered, and also angered the adult one-eyed horned dragon who guarded the cubs, and Wu Ma Xi just snatched a few cubs in her hand, and very quickly opened the teleportation array and disappeared in front of Youlan, but Youlan was swept by the powerful tail of the one-eyed horned dragon, crashed into the cliff and fainted. But when Youlan woke up again, she found that she had been moved away from the dangerous area where the one-eyed horned dragon was crazy just now, and a vague figure also flashed before Youlan's eyes.
When something similar happened several times, at that time, Youlan infiltrated the Crystal Palace, failed to conspire with the catfish to seize the throne of the Sea King, and under the siege of the chairman and others, he desperately took away Hong Yuqing's body. And this time it was not Youlan's expectation, after Wu Ma Xi took away Hong Yuqing's body, he really threw the dying Youlan on the bottom of the sea where carnivorous monster fish are often seen, but this time Youlan held on and didn't let herself faint, just pretended to be unconscious and lay quietly in the cold seawater.
Sure enough, Youlan hadn't been lying on the spot for an hour before she suddenly felt a violent shaking of the surrounding water, and then her body was embraced into a long-lost warm embrace, and the annoying voice that was as noisy as ever sounded around her.
"I said President Guihai, you're too heavy on this hand, aren't you? Didn't you say that you should try not to hurt her?"
When Youlan heard Pu Yangli shouting the words 'President Guihai', her heart couldn't help but perk, but she suppressed the impulse in her heart, and continued to listen to their conversation while pretending to be unconscious, and the voice of another middle-aged man also sounded not far from them, and there was a little annoyance in her impatient voice.
"Pu Yangli, I warn you not to get too far into it, even if you don't have the internal response of you, the reverse dragon, I still have a way to get their information. And do you know whose corpse she took away just now? It was Hong Yuqing, the son of Master Hong, the master of the Hongmen! I was able to control myself and didn't directly strangle her, and I was already merciful to the great subordinates. If you don't find a way to stop her death, if one day she is left alone with Gold or Canglan, then I can't guarantee that they will not show mercy. ”
"There will probably be no problem on Canglan's side, Chi Muyan should have already greeted him, as for the gold side, I will ask you to tell you. Although in your eyes, Youlan is indeed evil, but the masterminds behind those things are all Wu Ma Xi and Yin Mo! And I have always regretted it, if the young me was so angry and said so many words against my will, but calmly talked to her, and told her all the true thoughts in my heart, maybe she would not have become what she is now...... I didn't expect that the person who drove her to a dead end would be myself......"
Pu Yangli sighed deeply after saying this, and gently stroked Youlan's forehead with a rough palm covered with calluses, and there was also a warm tear in the corner of Youlan's eyes that quietly melted into the sea water when no one was aware of it.
After listening to Pu Yangli's words, the chairman also sighed deeply, and whispered to Pu Yangli: "Okay, okay, the fault of what happened back then was also me, even if Youlan's parents have been deeply impregnated with demonic qi and cannot be cured, I shouldn't just kill them on the spot." But that was also the moment when I hated the demonic energy and the water demon the most, so I rushed to gather all the problems together...... Alas, but fortunately, now that the paper tiger should have finally seen through some things, and the battles on the surface of various places have also stopped for a while, but the battle in the secret is still intensifying, you still have to find a way to keep Youlan away from Wu Ma Xi and Yin Mo as much as possible in the future. ”
After speaking, the chairman looked at Pu Yangli, who nodded silently, and sighed, then turned around and left. Pu Yangli also picked up Youlan very carefully, took her back to the home where she lived alone, and gently put her on the bed, just about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly caught by the sleeping Youlan The corner of the clothes, helplessly could only lean on the edge of her bed, and fell asleep after a while, and Youlan, who had been pretending to be asleep, also quietly leaned on Pu Yangli's side at this time, and fell asleep peacefully in his warm body temperature.
When Youlan woke up the next day, she just opened her sleepy eyes, but found that Pu Yangli was still leaning on the side of her bed and snoring, looking at Pu Yangli's stable sleeping face, Youlan couldn't help but have an urge to tease him, so after laughing softly, she suddenly screamed in his ear, and pointed at him in horror and roared: "Ah! Pu Yangli, why are you in my bedroom? What do you want to do!"
Pu Yangli was also taken aback, and rolled down from the edge of the bed, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't do anything, I just sent you back......!"
But just halfway through speaking, he suddenly reacted, and quickly got up from the ground, frowned and shouted to Youlan: "No! What do you want me to do? I also want to ask what you want to do! Yesterday I kindly picked you up and put you on the bed, and it was you who pulled me and didn't let go! This early in the morning, as soon as I woke up, I screamed, and I was really scared to death!"
"Hmm, you picked me up, but I clearly remember that I was injured and unconscious somewhere in the ancient ruins, how could you be so coincidental there?" Youlan pretended to be suspicious and asked lightly, seeing Pu Yangli was stunned, obviously not thinking about how to lie to her, and simply pretended to be angry and turned around, and casually said nonsense.
"I ...... I just wanted to go there and buy something, and who knew that as soon as I went, I would see you lying there half-dead! I am not the kind of person who will not be saved, so I picked you up, but I didn't expect you troublesome woman to get up early in the morning and shout, as if I had done something unseemly! Hmph, I would have left you there to feed the fish!"
