Chapter Ninety-Six: The Covenant

Previous Chapter

I sat on the bed trying to clear all my thoughts, but found that it was completely messed up. I didn't even know what I was supposed to do next, as if everything had stopped on the night when I drank with him. What happened after that? How could I not be at all impressed?

But the most important thing at this moment is that Cang Li is back.

He returned, but I was lost. Or is it just waiting for him to arrange everything that will happen next? Is it also a habit?

Suddenly, a person finally flashed into my mind.

Ah Nian: I think, can I discuss it with him?

Thinking of this, I seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, quickly got up, walked to the door in a few steps, and when I opened the door, I suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures. It's Ah Nian, and the Demon Emperor! The Demon Emperor is also here.

Was he here to fetch me back to the Demon Realm? I was about to take a step over, but I found that the two figures had disappeared in an instant, where had they gone?

When I came back to my senses, I only saw Cang Li turn around and walk towards me calmly.

"They're back in the Demon Realm. I entrusted him to take care of you for me, but now that I have returned, I don't need to. ”

"Then what should I do?" At this moment, I seemed to have returned to the time when I was in the Demon Domain, and the surroundings were also red, and this time, even Zhifen was gone, leaving only me and him. Even though I wasn't as badly injured as I was last time, I still had nowhere to go, and everything was in his hands.

"With me, you don't have to. ”

He walked up to me and once again grabbed me completely unconcerned about my wishes.

"Enough!" I finally couldn't help myself, broke free from his grip, and shouted out loud.

"I'm not Takumi Aoki! I'm not a puppet! I'm not a stand-in! I don't want to be controlled by anyone! I just want to know what I want to do! I don't need anyone else to make decisions for me!"

I pushed him away, and he took two steps back before regaining his footing, staring at me.

"Have you ever been to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu?" After a while, he asked this question lightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

I also adjusted my mood and felt that I was a little too excited.

"Yes, Yunjin took me there, and I still lived there for a while. ”

"Yunjin ......" He thought thoughtfully, as if he recalled many past events.

Watching him fall into a brief contemplation, I guessed that he must have remembered all the things he had done with Aoki Taku, and sure enough, his eyes began to reddened slightly, just like when he took me to the Holy Spirit Mountain to exchange blood.

"So, it's impossible for you to forget her, or rather, you'll never be able to let go of your affection. Please leave me alone, I'm not her. ”

I changed my tone, with a hint of pleading.

He raised his eyes and looked at me earnestly, without words, just staring deeply.

"I know, you're not her. When I felt his gaze almost sink into my body through my face, he just said these words indifferently, then turned around and prepared to enter the house.

I was just about to remind him that this was my room, when suddenly, a gust of wind and waves rolled up in the maple forest out of nowhere, causing the maple forest to rustle, and the sky above me was also changing color.

Cang Li suddenly woke up from his solemn emotions. Seeing him frown, I first turned to look at the strange appearance above my head, and then grabbed me behind me.

I was extremely apprehensive in my heart, because I knew very well that the only people who could have such a powerful oppressive force were gods and demons, and in this aura, there was more of a domineering and killing aura, which was completely different from the kind of arrogance of the demons.

Protoss, it's still here.

After the violent turmoil, everything gradually returned to some calm, but soon, there was a strong spiritual tremor not far in front of us, and after an instant, four Protoss in silver armor appeared in front of us. Behind them, there was another person. This person......

He didn't wear armor, only gray robes, but this gray color always made me feel strange. When I looked at him from behind Cang Li, I found that my gaze collided with his, I was startled, my heart tightened, and I quickly took my gaze back, but I obviously felt a sense of fear, and this feeling seemed so familiar......

"If I hadn't left a mark on that monster, it would have been a bit difficult to find here. ”

As he spoke, the four Protoss soldiers retreated to the sides, while the people behind them slowly walked forward. His gaze seemed to flicker to me for a moment, but then it was as if I didn't exist.

"You're here, Robbery. ”

It was like a thunderbolt that exploded all my thoughts. Is this the one who created me?

I immediately became extremely nervous.

"Cang Li, you are really the same as before. Are you finally willing to leave the Demon Realm?"

Step by step, the huge pressure is also approaching. But Cang Li seemed unmoved, he still stood calmly in front of me, staring at him without the slightest fear.

"If I could, I'd be willing to go back to the Demon Realm. ”

"Looks like you're still obsessed?"

As he spoke, he slowly stood less than a foot away from us, raising his right hand slightly, and a stiff smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, before I could scream, there was already a fierce spiritual collision between Cang Li and him, and the powerful spiritual power shock caused by this caused the ground under our feet to tremble violently, and the bamboo house behind us also creaked.

With a "boom", two streams of spiritual power set off a strong air flow on the ground, like an undercurrent containing powerful power, and quickly swung out in all directions, Cang Li didn't know when he had moved a few steps forward, and his hair rose under the action of the spiritual power air flow.

Then, everything returned to an unbelievable calm. And Cang Li's hand is already tightly holding the sword of Cangrong.

"It seems that this rebirth will not have much impact on your strength. It seems that Zhuo'er really bothered. ”

He slowly withdrew his hand and said very calmly.

Perhaps because he mentioned Aoki Zhuo, Cang Li frowned slightly, but before Cang Li could respond, he continued: "Since you still don't want to return to the God Realm with me, then she ......"

I felt cold, and the eyes of the robbery had already fallen on me.

Cang Li tilted his head slightly, but quickly retreated back in front of me.

"You can't take her. ”

"Cang Li!" Zai was suddenly furious, and his tone suddenly turned into a threat.

"You can't take her. Cang Li was unmoved, and said again calmly, "Because, she will be my wife." ”

Suddenly, a strong wind surged around, staring at Cang Li with angry eyes.

"She will be my wife. Cang Li repeated it again, word by word, categorically.

I froze where I was, completely overwhelmed. I only felt that in front of them, I was as humble as a maple leaf in this maple forest.

But Cang Li suddenly grabbed my arm, and with a slight pull, I was already in the crook of his arm, tightly bound by him.

I noticed that Zai's hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to be unable to endure Cangli's provocation any longer.

But when he casually glanced at me again, he stopped at my lower abdomen.

"You ......"

He even used the title "you". Was he talking to me? I always thought I was just an object in their eyes.

I bowed my head slightly. Cang Li hugged me tighter.

"So, you can't take her away. ”

"Yinluo, you're good. He withdrew his spiritual power and threw down a few words, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

But it was at this moment that my mind exploded again. This tone ......

"I'll come back when my children are adults. ”

"Mother......" I murmured, but all we saw was the maple forest as it had been.

Cang Li seemed to hear my words, so he turned his head to look at me, a little confused.

But I smiled dismally, and with a little effort, I broke free from his arms, and then looked at him, and said sadly:

"He's Aoki's father, right? He's the one who made me, so I'm exactly like Aoki. ”

The surprise in Cang Li's eyes flashed.

"So, I'm destined to be a stand-in, right? Because he showed his true feelings for his daughter for a while, he created me, and now, for the sake of his ambitions, he can do whatever he wants, because I am just a puppet that he has made at will. ”

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes, and the past scenes of the lush forest and the dark stone monument in front of the treehouse came to mind.

"It's just props. I was stupid because of this prop, and I made myself selfless. ”

For a moment, I was completely immersed in endless sadness, and I only felt that neither the past nor the future had become meaningless. Fate: Where does a puppet come from, where does it choose?

Cang Li hugged me into his arms again, and I let him hold me. I don't have the qualifications to have emotions at all, I'm not even a chess piece, I'm just a puppet, a container. What does it make if it is owned by whom, where it is placed?

"You're not a puppet. Cang Li said, but it was nothing more than a miserable smile from me.

"Even if this child is not yours, are you still willing to marry me?" I asked calmly as I stepped out of his arms again, looked up at him, and calmly asked.

Cang Li also looked at me and said firmly, "I just want to protect you." ”

I smiled sadly, "Okay. ”

I stroked my lower abdomen and said, "Can you promise me that when this child grows up, no matter where he wants to go or what he does, you will not interfere with it, and you will not let anyone else interfere? Even if he wanted to be an ordinary mortal, it was up to him to decide. ”

"I promise you. ”

"Thank you. I bowed slightly and bowed to him. Then he turned around and wanted to go back to his room.

"Yinluo, although he created you, he doesn't have the right to control your choices, do you understand?"

"But as it is now, can I have any other choice?"

Cang Li's words remained behind me, and I still walked into the room without looking back, closing the door.
