Book 5, Chapter 61
"My lord, why didn't you punish them this time? The man in black followed behind the woman in white with his arms in his arms. Now when I looked closely, I found that his entire body seemed to be tightly bound in a pitch-black cloak, and he couldn't see half of his true appearance at all. A dark feeling emanated from him, like a ghost walking on this path to darkness, merging into one.
It's just that his voice is surprisingly good, warm as if he hears the ticking sound of the spring rising and the first snow melting, warm and fresh. It makes people forget all their sorrows for a while.
"I have other plans, leave the useless group alone for now. In the middle of the night, I may travel far away in the near future, you pay attention to the movements of the world for me, and everything will be arranged for me to return. ”
"Yes, my subordinates know. ”
Approaching the depths, under the view, the vast city is heavily interdependent, as if it is another human world hidden in the darkness. At first glance, the layers are tired, the painting is flying, the heavy horizontal staggered, the heavy mountains are stacked, the flying pavilion Liudan goes straight through the clouds, the beauty is magnificent, the majestic momentum is particularly undiminished, and it is breathtaking.
I'm afraid that no one would have thought and believed that this Qionglou Yuyu would be the legendary and terrifying Demon Domain City. Break through the darkness, a fairyland on earth that is more magnificent and beautiful than the world.
The two entered the city gate, passing through many palaces along the way, and from time to time there were people from the demon clan kneeling, until the cabinet hall, the woman in white was put down at midnight, and the demon lord signaled him to leave. Midnight didn't ask more.
Midnight deeply understands what to ask and what not to ask as a subordinate. Even after following the Demon Lord for a long time, he still couldn't guess the half-distraction of this high-minded, controlling the Demon Realm, and being above the Demon Realm Emperor. But at least he knew one thing: he shouldn't ask anything more now, this young woman clearly had some value to the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord never saves irrelevant people, and he is a woman.
The main hall, empty and landing...
Only they remained.
He stood with his hands in his hands, his indifferent eyes reflected in front of the bed.
In front of the bed, a woman was lying quietly on a carved and hollowed out white jade bed. The woman's eyebrows are like distant daisies, her skin is like condensing snow, and her white clothes are transcendent like dust, like a Nine Heavens Xuannu falling into the mortal dust. It's just that the closed eyes and slightly furrowed brows are as if they have encountered something extremely sad and painful in a dream, and their faces are painful and sad.
"Xuan, don't go. The woman suddenly let out a cry of pain, sat up, and opened her eyes, sweat dripping her forehead.
"You're awake. At the jade table, the Demon Lord turned around.
It was only at this moment that she saw clearly the pair of indifferent eyes under the other party's purple mask, as vast as the Milky Way, so cold as cold. All of a sudden, the distance between him and people was widened. It was as if there was an insurmountable ravine and alienation erected between the two of them. Even if it's so close.
It was also this glance, without any emotional touch, that her heart suddenly ached faintly.
"Are you alright? ”
In the face of the unexplained heartache in her chest, she didn't know why, and she was at a loss and had some panic at the same time. Stroking her chest, she shook her head, suddenly wondering why this man was so cold even with a word of concern. Bowing slightly, she thanked her: "Childe's life-saving grace just now, Shu Yan may not be able to thank you for the time being because of important matters, so I have to thank you here first." "She has never been enthusiastic, but she is a person who will repay her kindness, and she will give a gift of thanks.
"No need. The Demon Lord turned back, his long, silky hair obscuring his dark eyes under his purple mask. "Girl, you're here to borrow my demon clan to open the Heaven Magic Mirror. ”
"What?" Shu Yan was shocked, never expecting that the mysterious man in front of her would know the purpose of her trip. exclaimed: "Childe, how do you know?" Suddenly, her eyes changed, half loud, and she said calmly: "Could it be.... You are.. Lord of the Demons. ”
It is rumored that the Demon Lord never sees people in his true face, and wears a purple mask all year round. She should have thought of it? It was just that whenever she looked at her, her heart ached for no apparent reason. actually forgot for a moment that she was in the demon realm now, and even ignored the potential crisis.
It's just, but... He knew her purpose, he shouldn't have killed her, why should he save her...
"I saved you for a purpose. As if he knew what she was thinking, his words relieved all her worries.
"Purpose?" she looked up and met his cold eyes, pain flushing. She hurriedly looked away. There was a hint of inexplicability in his eyes.
Her heart relaxed. Since there is a purpose to save her, it means that the matter of borrowing the magic mirror is discussed and exchanged, and in this way, there is more hope for saving Xiaoying. Thinking of this, her originally cold eyebrows and eyes were immediately filled with a smile. The snow-like face is as beautiful as a flower in an instant, and it is breathtaking. Reflecting the handsome and indifferent man in front of her, she smiled quietly: "What purpose, please also ask Lord Demon Lord to make it clear." ”
For the first time, his cold eyes changed, and he was unexpectedly puzzled. He did not understand why, when others heard that the purpose of his mouth was full of nervousness, fear, and even panic, she, this seemingly delicate and pretending to be strong, was more calm, even full of joy, as if she did not worry at all about the terrible purpose he was about to say in the ears of others.
"Don't you worry about what I say I will cost you? ”
"Self-sufficient. Lord Demon has always had clear rewards and punishments, and his style of acting is even more vigorous and resolute, which is unique. For nearly a hundred years, the ruling demon lord has been in order... The Demon Lord is a rare generation of Ming Jun who controls the Demon Realm, and his name is even more popular... Shu Yan has never been a person who believes by heard. When I saw Lord Mojun today, from the style of the adult who was straight to the point and straightforward, Shu Yan was willing to believe that the adult would not let a person do something that she couldn't do. ”
...... From the time she had come here, she had already prepared the price to pay. As long as you can save Xiaoying.
"Sure enough, Bing Xue is smart, and he deserves to be the person he fancies...", his tone was rarely more smiling, but it was also fleeting. So much so that she thought she was having auditory hallucinations. Before she could hear what the Demon Monarch said behind her, she saw the Demon Monarch's original indifferent tone turn around and resume her cold tone: "I can borrow you the Open Heaven Demon Mirror." ”
"What, are you willing to lend the magic mirror?" she was almost ecstatic, but the next moment, she immediately calmed down again, took a deep breath, her expression was more serious than ever, and said: "Lord Demon Lord, you say, whatever you want, I am willing to do it." ”
Under her calm expression was an uncontrollable expression of excitement, and there was a fear that the other party would take it back. So she couldn't miss a moment. I immediately wanted to hear the exchange offered by the other party, and she couldn't really feel at ease until she got the magic mirror. After all, she wasn't 100% sure that anything was worth bartering with the Demon Lord. Except for her life.
But she clearly knew that in the eyes of this generation of Demon Lords, what she wanted was probably not just her insignificant life...
