Chapter 40: The Succubus Hooks the Soul
The next day, the weather was very good, but Yehuan rushed to the apse of Qiling in a hurry, and he didn't care about saluting, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness the Demon Lord, Miss Qihuang is missing. ”
"What are you talking about?!" Kai Zero got up in a panic.
Ye Huan came one by one: "I heard that Miss Lingshang said that she went to the back mountain to collect medicine yesterday and did not return overnight. ”
Ye Huan was very nervous at this time, for fear that Qi Ling would be angry, after all, as soon as he encountered Qihuang's incident, no composure and calmness would exist.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Qi Ling angrily reprimanded: "I didn't return overnight, why did you come to tell me now?
There are many unknown dangers lurking in the back mountains of the demon world, and the danger is even worse after nightfall, she is a weak woman who has no spiritual power and does not know the terrain, what is she doing alone in the back mountain?
How can this girl be so stupid!
"It was the dereliction of duty and negligence of the subordinates that let the Qihuang girl go to the back mountain. Yehuan lowered his head and clenched his fists, willingly bearing Qi Ling's reproach.
Qi Ling's face was grim, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the dragon girl Lingshang now?"
At this time, no amount of blame is useless, and the top priority is to find out the cause and effect and find Qihuang.
"Back to Your Highness, she and Shao Kun Gongzi have now gone up to the back mountain to find someone. ”
Shao Kun, Shao Kun again. It seems that this dragon girl is quite dependent on him. However, it is not good to eat it now.
Qi Ling still frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Now take someone to the back mountain with me, if you can't find Qihuang, I will never let you go." ”
"Yes. ”
Yehuan got the order, gathered a large number of people and horses to march towards the back mountain, and the momentum was quite huge.
Houshan said that it is not big or small, and it is not necessarily easy to meet intentionally, but it is not difficult. The four of them finally met in the back mountain, and at this time, the entire mountain had been completely surrounded, completely under Qi Ling's control, and it was difficult for a bird to escape his sight.
With such a painstaking effort, it was only a matter of time before Qihuang was found. However, his concern is not whether he can find anyone. He was afraid that things would not be so simple.
Although Shao Kun had long thought that Qihuang's disappearance could not avoid the eyes of the Demon Lord, and the two of them would always meet because of this, but at this time, it was still a little embarrassing. After all, he and the Demon Lord were facing each other head-on that day.
However, what Shao Kun didn't expect was that he didn't know if it was because the situation was anxious and he couldn't tolerate cranky thoughts, or because the Demon Lord didn't take himself to heart, when he saw him, there was no abnormality on his face.
Qi Ling and the four of them stood at the top, overlooking the overall situation, and Ye Huan on his side saw that his face was solemn, his heart was heavy, and he said worriedly: "Your Highness, it's been so long, where did you say Miss Qihuang went." ”
He didn't dare to say anything, he was afraid that he would say too much and make too many mistakes, and eventually add fuel to the fire, but he didn't dare to say nothing, and Qi Ling was the most tormented when he was silent.
Ling Sheng had always been cold, and there was rarely any expression on her face, but at this moment, Ye Huan could feel that her eyes were full of worry. Ling Shang said thoughtfully: "Missing for no reason, this is not Qihuang's style. No matter what, she won't say a word to me. Perhaps, something really happened. ”
"Shut up, what's the situation now, seeing the corpse? What are you saying about frustration, are you hoping that something will happen to her? Shao Kun listened to Ling Xiang's words, his stomach was full of anger, and he didn't care about Qi Ling's presence, so he didn't hide it.
Ling Shang didn't have the heart to quarrel at this time, and didn't pay attention to Shao Kun, but Yehuan, seeing that Shao Kun was angry, only felt that something was wrong, for fear that he would add fuel to the fire, so he said to stop him: "Young Master Shao Kun, Miss Ling Shang is also speculated that she is a close friend of Miss Qihuang, how could she want her to have an accident." It's you, I know you're worried about Miss Qihuang, but the more you are at this time, the more you have to calm down. ”
"It's easy to say," Shao Kun said that he was used to being arrogant on weekdays, but he was rarely so impertinent, and at this time he was also carried away by worry, and replied angrily, "The missing person is not the person you value, of course you can calm down." ”
How can this kid not make sense? The disappearance of Qihuang has already made the Demon Lord very worried, but now Shao Kun does not know how to raise it, and he has no way to hide his words, if this angers His Royal Highness the Demon Monarch, it will affect the pond fish.
Shao Kun frowned and said, "Young Master Shao Kun, why do you bother to speak wildly, don't you feel rude." ”
"Yo, why, a little guard leader dares to teach me a lesson? Okay, this young master is worried that he has nowhere to vent his anger. Shao Kun sneered, revealing his sharp tiger teeth, as if he was hostile. Although Shao Kun is also quite rampant on weekdays, he is impulsive and abnormal at this time, more like angering others because of Qihuang's disappearance.
"Stop arguing. Qi Ling finally couldn't stand this farce and spoke calmly.
Shao Kun saw that Qi Ling was angry, and he didn't dare to get any more inches, so he didn't plan to entangle Ye Huan.
At this moment, the guards below suddenly sent a proclamation: "Tell His Royal Highness the Demon Monarch, I have found the Qihuang girl!"
For a moment, the faces of the four of them changed, and they couldn't wait to come to the place indicated by the guards.
Under the sunflower tree, Qihuang was unconscious, sitting quietly beside the tree, covered in the sun, her beautiful face was still there, and she looked comfortable and distant from afar. When I walked in, I found that her eyelids were tightly closed, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her expression was well-behaved, and her breathing was smooth.
Kai Ling hurriedly came to her side, took her into his arms, and called softly and anxiously a few times. When Shao Kun saw this, he was apprehensive, but he was helpless, so he snorted coldly unconvinced, and turned his face away.
"Why didn't you respond?" After calling for a long time, Ling Shang saw that Qihuang did not show the slightest sign of waking up, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Originally, she found Qihuang, and Ling Shang was finally relieved, but she is like this now, how can she look wrong. For a while, Ling Shang's mood began to be uneasy again.
Yehuan also noticed the abnormality and asked, "Are you unconscious?"
Ling Shang glanced around, and his heart was even more puzzled.
"There were no wounds on his body, and there were no signs of a fight around him. Besides, Qihuang's breath is stable, and the temperature is the same, not like she is unconscious, but more like ....." Ling Shang paused, as if she was quite unconfident in her own opinion, "It seems to be asleep." ”
"Why can't you wake up when you're asleep?" Shao Kun asked rhetorically.
After being silent for a long time, when everyone had no answer, Qi Ling said lightly: "It's not that I'm asleep, but I'm in the underworld." ”
"Into the underworld?" Shao Kun was puzzled, "What do you mean by entering the underworld?"
This is a big problem.
Ye Huan's cheeks were gloomy, and he did not relax because he found Qihuang, and slowly explained: "It is rumored that there is a succubus on the mountain behind the Demon Realm, who is uninhibited and casual by nature and acts in a disorderly manner. Appeared on the night of the full moon, and transformed into the person the host fears the most, or the person he least wants to see. Then it arouses the most outstretched fears and desires in the heart, and finally causes the host to be lost in it. This phenomenon is the underworld. However, although it is rumored that this succubus is both good and evil, it will never easily seduce people's souls. I've never heard of anything like this in the past hundred years in the Demon Realm, so how could this succubus suddenly attack the Qihuang girl?"
Shao Kun was surprised when he heard this, and almost lost his words, how could there be such a thing in this world? After a while, he calmed down his emotions and expressed: "I see that this girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she doesn't look like she has any desires, how can she be confused by a succubus and be unconscious because of this?"
Ye Huan said: "What the succubus inspires may be something that Qihuang himself has not discovered, or the desire and fear that he dare not admit. ”
There was silence for a while, and they suddenly realized that they didn't seem to know Qihuang. What was her desire, what was her fear, and what could make her lose herself and live up to her awakening?
"Qihuang, what are you afraid of......" Qi Ling muttered in a low voice, his words full of confusion and distress.
About her, Kai Ling didn't know anything. I don't know the purpose of her hiding her identity, I don't know why she wants to block her love roots, I don't know what she thinks of him, and I don't even know what she is afraid of.
All he knew was that she never seemed to trust him, never approached him.
Kai Zero was saddened.
Ling Shang was suspicious again: "I've never heard of a succubus seducing people before, and Qihuang is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion, so he will definitely not take the initiative to provoke a succubus." How could a succubus suddenly attack her?"
"This ......" Ye Huan also began to wonder when he heard this, "Legend has it that the succubus comes from the underworld and is governed by the Hades. ”
Qi Ling still didn't speak, but his face was cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"You mean, Qihuang was seduced by a succubus, and it was the instructions of the Hades King?"
Although Ye Huan had this idea, he didn't dare to make a conclusion, after all, this matter was too strange. What does Hades do with a little girl?
Ye Huan wanted to speak and stopped, and then said: "The Hades King has no reason to move the Qihuang girl." ”
Ling Sheng answered calmly, but said amazingly: "Unless...... The succubus's target is not the Qi Huang, but the Demon King. ”
"What do you mean?" Shao Kun didn't understand Ling Shang's words.
Why did the Hades suddenly have such malice towards Qi Zero, I haven't heard that there is still a grudge between the underworld and the demon world. Besides, since the target is the Demon Lord, why do you want to attack Qihuang?
Ling Shang explained: "His Royal Highness the Demon Lord has made countless enemies in the Three Realms, and many people are looking forward to his death, but he really can't get close to His Highness's body, so he can only do nothing. However, when His Royal Highness the Demon Monarch personally admitted that he liked Qihuang, then some unscrupulous people would naturally attack her, in order to contain the Demon Monarch. ”
"You mean, the succubus succubus sucked Qihuang's soul this time in order to force His Highness to show up?" Ye Huan already fully understood what Ling Shang meant by this.
Ling Shang said this, Qi Ling didn't think about it. He didn't know that once he confessed his heart, Qihuang would face trouble from all walks of life. However, he didn't expect that he would not be able to protect her. Obviously, he just wanted her to be soft, and he wanted her to have nowhere to hide.
So, is he wrong? Approaching her, possessing her, is he wrong?
Worried at any time, but Ling Xiang's expression was the same, and his words were indifferent, and he said, "In principle, this is the case. ”
"What should I do if I fall into the underworld? Is it possible that I will sleep for the rest of my life?" Shao Kun was a little anxious. He was more worried about Qihuang's condition than any conspiracy.
Ye Huan has been by Qi Ling's side for a long time, but it is the first time he has seen such a thing, and he can't answer for a while, just to say: "I've only heard of the legend of the succubus seducing the soul, but I've never seen such a situation, so, what will happen if you enter the underworld, I really don't know ......"
"I know. Qi Ling, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, and his face was full of unquestionable words.
Everyone no longer argued, only the ghost made the god stand silently, and listened to Qi Ling continue to speak: "Those who enter the underworld, the soul will wander to the underworld. ”
Ye Huan was faintly worried when he heard this, he knew Qi Ling too well, and at this moment, Ye Huan couldn't know what Qi Ling wanted to do. Ye Huan was embarrassed and stopped: "Your Highness, you don't want to go to the underworld, do you?"
"Why, what's wrong? Her soul is mine, and I'm going to bring it back. Kai Ling's tone was full of non-committal beaks.
Someone wants to use Qihuang to force himself to appear, so Qi Zero is as he wishes. Whatever awaits him, this underworld, he is determined.
His Highness the Demon Lord really thinks so. Although Ye Huan guessed what Qi Ling would say, he was still extremely reluctant, and was embarrassed: "Your Highness the Demon Lord, this underworld is not an ordinary place, my subordinates, please think twice." ”
Shao Kun saw Ye Huan's timid appearance, and said disdainfully: "It's just the underworld, what is there to be afraid of." Not only is the Demon Lord going, but I'm going too. ”
"Young Master Shao Kun, do you know what kind of place the underworld is?" Ye Huan asked rhetorically.
Shao Kun didn't take Ye Huan's worries to heart at all, and answered confidently: "How do I know, I haven't been there again." ”
"I haven't been there. The three worlds of heaven and earth are heaven, demons, and man. The people of the Three Realms have been destroyed, and they have all entered the underworld and entered reincarnation. The reason why this underworld has escaped from the Three Realms is because of its mystery and treachery, no living person has ever entered or exited this place, and it is full of fierce ghosts and evil spirits. That's why it's so dangerous. Moreover, the Hades King is extraordinary, for thousands of years, he has never appeared in the Three Realms, and he has never participated in the disputes of the Three Realms, who knows what he wants to do this time. Yehuan choked indignantly, as if he felt ridiculous for Shao Kun's incompetence.
After all, Shao Kun has a strong blood and noble status, he has never been flattered and sycophant, and he has never seen the sinister heart like Qi Ling, and the city government in his chest is naturally not deep. Ye Huan's words, he won't listen.
Shao Kun said: "It's just a place where all the dead people are." I'm not afraid of the living, I'm afraid of any dead person, and whoever dares to stand in my way is against the entire wolf clan. ”
I didn't expect this kid to be really bold.
Seeing that Shao Kun couldn't be persuaded, Ye Huan moved his gaze to Qi Ling: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Qi Ling only felt funny: "What do you think? I think the wolf Shao Shao Kun is reasonable. I'm going to settle this underworld, and whoever dares to touch me, no matter what kind of role this Hades is, I'll be there for a while. ”
