10 The smell of blood
It's always because I'm too selfish.
Looking at Qing Zhan's eyes, Jielan suddenly felt ashamed of herself, she turned her head and said sadly: "A woman like me is not worth saving at all, it is better to die." β
Qing Zhan suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that a person who was arrogant and invincible a few days ago would say such things at this time, this is too unlike you." After laughing, Qing Zhan saw Jielan with a sad face, and still couldn't bear it, "Is that person important to you?" β
"It's not that it's important, it's that I abandoned him, I hate myself like this, I've always been so selfish, so cold, what qualifications do I have to say to save the people I want to save." Although he didn't have a deep contact with Wuluan, it was a life after all, and he chose to abandon him.
"Only stupid people would choose to save a person who couldn't live at that time, so many people have worked hard until now, isn't it just to live for more people, instead of giving up more lives to save a person who can't be saved in a momentary anger, I don't think you will still be the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation." Qing Zhan's words were reproachful, with a sense of relief.
Jielan was very grateful for Qing Zhan's liberation, she walked towards the ruined Holy Spirit Mountain, folded her hands, closed her eyes, and silently recited a mantra in her mouth, hoping that the soul of Wuluan could be liberated and forget the pain of her life.
After meditating, Jielan opened her eyes, and felt a little comforted in her heart. At this time, she remembered that she was still surrounded by Qing Zhan, and she was still being held by him naked. In an instant, Jielan's face turned red like autumn maple leaves, but fortunately, her face was covered with blood, so she would not be seen by Qing Zhan as a shy woman. She only whispered, "Well, what about your subordinates?" And what about them? β
As soon as Jielan asked, she heard a delicate voice from not far away, "Lan, we are here!" Qi Xue flew over with the black pig, and when she saw the two of them like this, she pointed at Qing Zhan and said, "Who is this man?" You and he is..."
With a red face, Jielan hurriedly interrupted: "No! She turned her head sideways and remembered Wuluan, and whispered, "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't save Wuluan." β
Although Qi Xue hated that guy a little, she couldn't help but be sad and sad when she heard the news, but she knew that Jielan felt even more guilty in her heart, and she advised: "What should happen to him, it's no wonder to you." β
The black pig also persuaded: "Yes, don't blame yourself too much, everyone has done their best." β
"He... Are you okay? Jielan thought of Chengfeng, so she asked tentatively.
"Just now, Lord Shaojun's personal entourage treated Chengfeng with spiritual power, and he has woken up, if you are worried, let's go see him! The Tan chess general took him to the West Peak! The black pig said slowly, he looked at the shirtless Qing Zhan holding Jielan, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to the person who saved them, so he said: "Lan, you come to Qixue!" β
Jielan immediately understood what the black pig meant, and she was embarrassed to be red again, and nodded lightly.
However, I suddenly heard a black pig's ah, and it turned out that Qi Xue actually hit the black pig's stomach hard with her elbow. The black pig asked angrily, "Why did you hit me all of a sudden!" β
"Stupid, it's really boring, isn't it good for you to sit here with me? If you don't like me, just throw you down! Qi Xue glared at the black pig, and then looked at Jielan with a smile, "You don't have to pay attention to him, let's go to the West Peak first, you guys hurry up!" As soon as Qixue whistled, the snow crane flew quickly towards the west peak. The black pig on the crane's back still called without giving up, looking back at Jielan who was getting farther and farther away from him uneasily, and her worried black pupils were afraid that Jielan would be treated rudely by the frivolous Qingzhan.
"It seems that your little demon beast is very worried about you, is it afraid that I will eat you?" Qing Zhan smiled wickedly.
"No, Long Yi is just worried about me, it has always been good to me." Jielan explained.
"It seems that there are so many people who are good to you, I don't know whether to worry or worry." Qing Zhan deliberately teased Jielan, "But that white devil, how can you be with him?" β
Jielan knew that she wanted to use Chengfeng to go to the royal city to exchange for Youyun, this kind of selfish purpose she never told anyone, even the man behind her who had saved herself in danger many times, Jielan was unwilling to reveal it, because she was afraid that others would know her selfish heart, and she was even more afraid that after saying it, she would not be able to successfully bring Chengfeng to Wangcheng.
"It's just a coincidence!" Jie Lan's flickering gaze looked a little uneasy.
"Really? But I can tell you're nervous about him. β
"Who would be nervous about a demon who has fallen into the devil's path." Jielan bit her lip, and blood flowed down.
"Didn't you notice that he had awakened? The awakening of the blood of the White Devil. Qing Zhan said word by word.
"Wake up? What do you meanβ" Jielan couldn't believe it at all, "has he now regained his body as a white devil, a white devil with a purifying soul?" β
"Although he is said to be in a semi-awake state, the smell of his blood has changed, so he has awakened his purification power, but he still has the other half of his blood in the original state, so he is not a complete white devil now." When Qing Zhan mentioned Chengfeng, there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows.
"By the way, I heard Long Yi say that the white devil symbolizes the royal city, since you are from the royal city, are you going to take him to the royal city?" Jielan was afraid of losing Chengfeng's chess piece, and asked tentatively.
"What, can't you bear him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about." Jielan was a little annoyed.
"Since he is not a complete white devil, it is useless for me to bring it back to the royal city, the people of the royal city will not accept that half of his blood is still the blood of the fallen demon."
"Fallen blood?"
"That is, if the blood demon loses its humanity and becomes a heartless demon, then the smell of their blood will change, and it will be called the blood of the fallen demon." Qing Zhan looked at the woman in his arms, looked at her who was silent with her head down, and knew what she was thinking, "As long as you keep the heart of a human being, you don't have to worry about anything." β
Suddenly, her heart felt like she had been stabbed, Jielan felt stunned and hurt, she slowly turned her head to look at Qing Zhan, her eyes were full of questioning and suspicion, "You, do you know that I am a blue devil?" How would you know? β
Qing Zhan's face stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I said it, I will smell the blood in the blood demon's body, let alone you who are covered in scars." β
"Oh, I thought..."
"Why?"
"I thought you knew me earlier, otherwise when you were in the city hall, how would you know that my blood has the power to seal souls, so I guessed that you already knew my identity."
"Of course, from the first moment you stepped into my 'Dambi Pavilion', I knew you were the Blue Devil."
"That's why you came to my rescue, because I'm a blue devil, and I'm not an ordinary person."
"You'll always be an extraordinary person to me, not just the blood that flows from you." Qing Zhan pressed his face close to hers, and his words were soft and intimate. And his hand hugged Jielan tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his own embrace.
