Chapter Seventy-Six: Ah Nian
Although I wanted to recuperate, I couldn't help but whisper to Yun Jin in the middle of the night, as if I had vented all the desire to communicate that had been suppressed in the Demon Domain these days. Yun Jin was placed in a stone cave next to the Demon Cave, and looking at the layout of the cave, it seems that this stone cave was originally prepared for Yun Jin.
Even if Yun Jin wouldn't talk to me like others, at least it was willing to listen, and wouldn't end the topic in the middle of a conversation like the Demon Emperor did. I dealt with the strangulation marks on Yun Jin's ankles, and I always unconsciously looked at its unicorn form in detail, and then sometimes suddenly imagined the true form of Qing Bao, and always shuddered and quickly collected my thoughts, and continued to chat with Yun Jin about other topics. Later, I didn't know when sleepiness hit, so I leaned on Yun Jin and fell asleep peacefully, which was probably the most restful and comfortable night I have slept in these days.
It wasn't until the cold voice of the Demon Emperor came from outside the stone cave that I suddenly woke up.
Maybe it's because I've slept a little long every day in the Qingmo Cave recently, and I just feel that I'm still very tired, but the Demon Emperor doesn't seem to be a patient lord, so I can only barely wake up, hurriedly bid farewell to Yunjin, and get out of the stone cave.
When the bright red armor came into view, I was much more awake again, and most of my sleepiness disappeared.
The Demon Emperor glanced sideways at me, didn't say anything, and only threw me one word: "Go." ”
Only this time he didn't abruptly grasp my spatial teleportation, but led the way in front step by step very solemnly. I followed him forward, only to find that it was in the direction of the Holy Spirit.
I vaguely remember that when Cang Li waited for me to go to the Holy Spirit Mountain, I didn't pass through this road, I must have been on the other side of the Holy Spirit Mountain, and after a while, we arrived at a place that looked like the entrance to the canyon, and at the same time, I had already felt the violent air flow and spiritual power fluctuations, and when I looked up, the huge whirlpool had really occupied almost all the sight overhead.
But the Demon Emperor didn't mean to enter the Sealed Demon Valley, he stopped and glanced at it slightly, and then led me towards a stone path next to the entrance of the valley. Skirting the outer hills, I knew we had reached the foot of Mount Whitsunday when I noticed that the rocks beside the road were starting to glow with a faint blue glow.
At this time, the Demon Emperor suddenly stopped, and I had already noticed that in front of us, there was a faintly visible enchantment, and the things inside the enchantment were very vague. The road ahead seems to be a road and not a road, and it is obviously a scene in front of you, but the more you look at it, the more it looks like an illusion.
With a wave of the Demon Emperor's long arm, a gap suddenly opened in the enchantment, and I still followed him closely, and entered the enchantment through that gap.
A moment ago, the scene in front of me suddenly opened up, and I was extremely surprised.
Within this enchantment, it turned out to be a huge camp, and around the camp, countless regular grottoes were neatly built, and in the middle of the camp, there was a well-laid out training ground, and a column of demon soldiers in red armor was led by the general to practice on different training grounds.
This is the Demon Emperor's military camp!
I couldn't help but laugh at myself secretly, I was actually confused by the illusion of the desolation of the Demon Domain, the Demon Race was already a warlike race, how could it be that there was not a single soldier? The internal fighting in the Demon Domain, how could it be just a heads-up duel between several powerful Demon Clans? It turned out that the army of the Demon Race was trained in such a secret situation.
"It seems that Cang Li has never shown you the real Demon Domain. Seeing my surprise, the Demon Emperor said coldly, "It's no wonder that the Demon Clan is warlike, even in the towns of the Demon Domain, there are often mutual provocations and duels, and they are all life and death battles, in the Demon Domain, killing is just a commonplace." And the selection method of generals below the middle level of the army is also a life-and-death duel, of course, if the commander is not strong enough, the generals below want to replace him, and it can also be challenged. ”
"So, do they dare to challenge you?"
The Demon Emperor glanced at me slightly and said very domineeringly: "The deity has the bloodline of Chiyou, and he was born with the most powerful power in the Demon Domain. ”
"Is that Chiyou the most powerful of the gods and demons?"
Seeing that the Demon Emperor didn't respond, I continued: "If not, it seems that the Demon Race still can't be compared with the Heavenly Gods, after all, there should be more powerful characters in the Demon Clan than Chiyou, right?
"Humph!"
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and ignored me.
The three innermost grottoes directly in front of the camp were much larger than the others, and the Demon Emperor led me around the scattered training grounds and went straight to the one in the middle. Come to think of it, in this grotto, it should be the commander of this camp.
The furnishings in the grotto are very simple, except for the necessities such as stone beds and stone platforms, there is only a weapon shelf full of various weapons.
Seeing that the Demon Emperor had brought me in, a young general who was sitting behind the stone platform in the middle seemed to be studying the battle map, and hurriedly stood up. He was also wearing red armor, except for a few pieces of equipment that were missing from the Demon Emperor's body. His appearance is heroic, and in addition to his awe-inspiring appearance unique to the demons, there seems to be a little more gentleness between his eyebrows, not as strong as other demons.
"Emperor. He saluted the Demon Emperor respectfully, and then saw me behind the Demon Emperor, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
He called the Demon Emperor the Emperor's father, so was he actually the son of the Demon Emperor?
His surprise was only fleeting, and then he nodded cautiously to me.
"Is she the one mentioned by ......the emperor's father? It's too similar......"
"It's just appearances, how can she compare to your mother. ”
I listened to their conversation like a stake, but it was as if there was a thunderclap above my head.
Could it be that the mother he was talking about was Aoki Taku? Aoki had a child with the Demon Emperor! This is really incredible. Before that, all the information I got was that Cang Li and Aoki Takushi had a deep relationship, one turned into the Holy Spirit Mountain to seal the Demon Domain, and the other never gave up protecting it for life, but now, out of thin air, there was an extra child of the Demon Emperor and Aoki Taku! I feel more and more that those grievances that have been smoothed out by thousands of years are too much more complicated than I know.
The Demon Emperor ignored my strange appearance and continued: "Ah Nian, this time I went to Qingqiu, you must be careful, go and return quickly, Qingqiu is extremely restless, and I am afraid that there will be a big battle in the Demon Domain in the near future." ”
"I know, Emperor, I will do my best to protect her. ”
"If you are unfortunate enough to be involved with the Protoss, you just have to bring her back to the Demon Domain quickly, and you must not let the Protoss take her away. ”
"Good. ”
In this grotto, I seem to be transparent, but I have heard too much information from their conversations, but I really can't figure it out, what does it have to do with the Protoss when I go to Qingqiu to find the antidote to the poison?
"This is Ah Nian, the son of the deity, you must listen to his arrangement along the way, and don't act rashly. "The Demon Emperor seems to have finally thought of my existence.
I nodded thoughtfully, and though I had too many questions, I didn't know how to ask. Everything, when you go to Qingqiu, maybe you will know it. Or maybe, when I get to Qingqiu, I won't have to return to the Demon Domain.
Thinking so, the Demon Emperor left me in the barracks after leaving some simple advice, and he returned to the Demon Cave.
Na Ah Nian seemed to involuntarily stay on me and looked me up and down several times before he suddenly realized his gaffe, so he hurriedly saluted me, said a few polite words to me, and ordered his demon soldiers to place me in the grotto next to the Commander's Grotto, and told me that I could leave tomorrow, when the Demon Emperor would come to open the seal of the Demon Valley and send us to the human world.
He didn't know that when he looked at me, I also looked at him carefully, and from between his eyebrows, I did see a little bit of the shadow of the Demon Emperor, but more, I was carefully looking for traces of Aoki on his face, and for some reason, my curiosity about Aoki was getting stronger and stronger.
I wanted to get some details about Aoki Takumi from him, but he didn't seem to want to talk to me, so I had no choice but to give up and honestly go back to my resting grotto.
Even though I didn't really have a good rest when I chatted with Yunjin the night before, this night, I didn't feel sleepy at all. Tossing and turning, I tried to guess what would happen after I went to Qingqiu, imagining what I would do after my poison was resolved, and the undercurrent in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time. From time to time, I stroked my belly, which seemed to be a little more prominent than it had been a few days ago. I thought, when Qingqiu's affairs are over, I will definitely find a way to ask the demon clan to control and meet him.
What happened to him now? Where did they move because of the previous catastrophe? Or did they return to Suining Town? Did Na Boyi and You Ruojun still live with him? He and You Ruojun ...... How is he dealing with me now, and how will he react if he sees me again......
Countless speculations, countless fantasies, but I gradually felt tired, and finally fell asleep.
The next morning, the sound of the horn of the morning exercise in the camp woke me up from my dream, but I still seemed to have the shadow of the familiar wooden house in front of me, naturally, and the figure in the blue robe and plain clothes in the house......
I sobered up a little, and walked out of the grotto, only to see that Ah Nian, the son of the Demon Emperor, was already waiting outside the grotto.
"Forgive me, I slept late for the past two nights. "I'm a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's normal for a woman to be more tired when she is pregnant. The emperor also used to say that the mother often felt sleepy when she was pregnant. ”
He looked at me again with a very deep gaze, and then mentioned his mother, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"When are we leaving?"
He really woke up suddenly, and then said: "Let's go to the Demon Sealing Valley now, the emperor must have already arrived." ”
