Chapter 67: Prey or Hunter?
"Whew!" The Hellfire Dragon let out a mournful roar.
"Poofโโ! The Infernal Flame Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped moving.
"Bang โโ!" As soon as Murong Cheyun let go, the Hell Flame Dragon also fell to the ground.
The town behind them also collapsed with the fighting.
Murong Cheyun's gaze fell on Lingyu, who had passed out not far away.
He walked over to Lingyu and squatted down, his palm pressed against Lingyu's chest, and then entered his internal force.
"Hmm~" Lingyu woke up with a leisurely sigh.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu opened her heavy eyelids and saw a collapsed ruin in front of her, an hour ago, the town that was still bustling and extraordinary, at this time there was no sound, and the Hell Flame Dragon was lying not far away.
She couldn't believe that human life and architecture were so fragile in front of demons.
Murong Cheyun stood up and looked at Lingyu indifferently.
Lingyu felt a cold gaze fall on her, and couldn't help but shudder, then turned her head to look at Murong Cheyun, but met a pair of black eyes that were as cold as frost.
His heart missed a beat inexplicably, and then he jumped up quickly, looking at Murong Cheyun vigilantly.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu was silent for a long time and finally asked.
"Boom โโ!" The Hell Flame Dragon suddenly came back to life and slowly crawled over the ground.
A trace of disgust flashed in Murong Cheyun's eyes, and then he reached out and slashed the neck of the Hell Flame Dragon with a sword.
"Smack!" The dragon's head of the Hellfire Dragon rolled to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
"Roaring โโ!" The last scream of the Hell Flame Dragon came to an abrupt end, and it was completely lifeless.
"I've had enough, it's time to go back with me." Murong Cheyun withdrew his hand, then grabbed the spirit jade and disappeared in place with her.
After the two left, several black shadows appeared underground, and Mu Chen, who should have been unconscious, opened his eyes and looked at the direction where the two people left with a gloomy face.
"Ling'er, you can't escape."
Murong Cheyun took Lingyu to a mountain.
"Ahem......!" Lingyu coughed violently twice, her injuries were really serious.
Although Murong Cheyun saved her just now, she still suffered serious internal injuries.
Murong Cheyun took out an elixir and stuffed it into Lingyu's mouth.
As soon as the pill was eaten in her stomach, it turned into a warm current and swam all over her body, and she felt refreshed.
"Thank you!" Lingyu opened her eyes and said weakly, then closed her eyes and began to heal her wounds.
Seeing this, Murong Cheyun didn't care about her, and began to absorb the aura by himself.
Time passed little by little, and Lingyu was awakened by a familiar voice.
"Miss!" Lingyu opened her eyes, and a crisp and sweet voice came from outside the door.
"Who?" Lingyu immediately raised her vigilance and looked at the door vigilantly. No, she was in the cave before, how did she get into the house now? And the layout here is very familiar!
No one outside the door answered Lingyu, but the voice was getting closer and closer.
"Knock Knock Knock โโ!"
"Knock Knock Knock โโ!"
"Knock Knock Knock โโ!"
The knock on the door was very rapid and louder, as if it were about to overturn the house.
"Squeakโโ!" Lingyu frowned, then opened the door.
When Lingyu opened the door and saw the people outside, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cui'er in front of her suspiciously.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu asked suspiciously.
She didn't expect Murong Cheyun to bring her back to the Imperial City again.
Coming full circle, it's back here.
Cui'er and the other two maids had a happy look on their faces.
"Miss, you're finally back!" Cui'er hugged Lingyu excitedly, and then cried.
In the days that the young lady was gone, they were worried every day, for fear that she would have a good case.
Miss is usually so gentle and kind, they are reluctant to have an accident with Miss, and they still need to rely on Miss to make money to support their family!
"Don't cry! Am I not coming back? Lingyu touched Cui'er's head, then walked towards the house.
Cui'er wiped away her tears, and then hurriedly followed Lingyu's footsteps.
After Lingyu entered the house, she found that the room was in a mess, with tables, chairs, benches, and even teapots and cups scattered all over the ground, which showed how irritable Murong Cheyun was.
Lingyu frowned, then walked to the edge of a bed and sat down, then looked at Murong Cheyun and said, "This is what you call hospitality?" โ
When Murong Cheyun heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"I'm hungry, go get ready to eat!" Murong Cheyun said coldly, and then sat down at the table.
Lingyu looked at Murong Cheyun's back, and her heart was even more puzzled.
"Good!" Cui'er answered and walked out.
Lingyu sat aside and pondered.
What did Murong Cheyun want to do, he sent her away from the imperial city when the imperial power changed, and now he brought her back?
Do you want to use yourself as a bait to lure out the people behind the scenes?
Or is this an attempt to borrow a knife to kill someone?
Lingyu shook her head, then shook off the distractions in her mind, closed her eyes and rested.
After a stick of incense, Cui'er walked in with a plate of dishes.
"Miss, the meal is ready, let's eat it while it's hot!" Cui'er put the food on the table.
Lingyu opened her eyes when she heard this, and then looked at the food on the table.
The food is full of color and aroma, and the appearance is excellent, which is appetizing, especially when it looks delicious.
"Good!" Lingyu swallowed, then stood up, walked to the table, picked up chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat.
"Click!" As soon as a piece of meat reached Lingyu's mouth, Murong Cheyun, who had been looking at her, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the chopsticks in her hand.
"What are you doing?" Lingyu glared at Murong Cheyun, this person was too much, and he actually snatched her food!
"This rude way of eating is not for you!" Murong Cheyun glanced at Lingyu lightly and said.
Lingyu: "......" rude? Where was she rude? She just wanted to give it a try!
"You know what?" Murong Cheyun's tone became a little profound.
"Huh?" Lingyu blinked, not understanding why he said that, but she was really hungry right now.
"Before I met you, I had eaten human flesh many times!" Murong Cheyun lowered his head, and a wicked smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing Murong Cheyun's words, Lingyu instantly stiffened.
"You're ......!"
Lingyu looked at him in horror, this man is simply a demon!
"Hehe......!" Murong Cheyun chuckled, then pinched his chopsticks and continued to eat elegantly.
"In this world, demons are rampant, people have long abandoned the so-called moral principles in order to survive, demon hunters can transform people into monsters, making them the most powerful weapons in their hands, and ordinary people have become fish and meat on the board, without the slightest power to resist."
"I don't know when, humans began to kill each other, and people no longer need to be wary of not only demons, but also - the same kind"
Lingyu listened to Murong Cheyun's slow and magnetic voice, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart, was all this caused by human greed, jealousy, and resentment?
If someone asks, what is the most desperate thing in the world?
You know you're right, but all the voices around you tell you that you're wrong, and you are forced to follow the world's voices, change your will, your behavior, and follow in their footsteps, even though you know everything is wrong.
Under the torrent of the times, if you don't follow the trend, it is a mistake.
Lingyu sighed, then lowered her head and ate silently.
"Smack!" A drop of crystal liquid fell to the ground, and Lingyu raised her eyes slightly, and saw Cui'er kneeling in front of her with tears on her face.
"Miss, please help the slave! The slave doesn't want to die! The slave is willing to serve the young lady for the rest of her life! Cui'er grabbed the hem of Lingyu's skirt and begged bitterly.
Lingyu frowned, and then helped Cui'er up, "Cui'er, you get up first." โ
"Miss, after you left, the crown prince and the eighth prince passed away one after another, and the seventh prince Murong Cheyun became the only survivor and inherited the unification, but strange images in the palace appeared frequently" Cui'er told Lingyu about Murong Cheyun's succession.
Lingyu listened quietly, although she had already guessed it, but when she heard Cui'er say it herself, she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.
It was not easy for Murong Cheyun to escape from that catastrophe.
"Miss, please save us innocent people!" Cui'er grabbed Lingyu's arm and pleaded bitterly.
Lingyu frowned, then broke free of Cui'er's hand and said, "I'm just an ordinary lady, and now I'm trapped here, and I can't do anything about it." Besides, these are extraordinary times, and I will not be able to meddle in this matter, and I ask Miss Cui'er not to persecute me. โ
"Miss! Are you really that ruthless and watch them die tragically? Cui'er asked unwillingly, obviously her young lady was the most benevolent, how could she not care?
"Cui'er, I know you're sad, but you should also understand that I won't take my own for them." Lingyu said solemnly.
Cui'er gritted her teeth, and finally let go of the hand that grabbed Lingyu's clothes and stepped aside.
Lingyu sighed and continued to drink the soup in the bowl.
"You go down first!" Murong Cheyun's voice came, with a hint of coldness, Cui'er trembled all over, and left here in a hurry.
Murong Cheyun's scrutinizing gaze couldn't stop looking at her, which made Lingyu very uncomfortable.
"Have you really changed, or are you trying to play some tricks?" Murong Cheyun said lightly.
Lingyu didn't answer him, but looked at the bright moon outside the window.
This Murong Cheyun deliberately let Cui'er reveal something to herself, I don't know what she was thinking, if she went along with him so easily, wouldn't it be fun?
In this game, who is the prey and who is the hunter, has not yet been decided!
Murong Cheyun looked at her and smiled playfully, and before getting up to leave, he left Lingyu with a meaningful word: "You can't escape." โ
Lingyu was in a trance for a moment.
