Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reunion
We returned to the Immortal Waterfall, and the hidden realm was removed, and I tried to calm my emotions.
"Can you tell me now why I can't see him?"
"Because you have my mother's blood in you. ”
"So what?"
He looked at me, still very calmly, and said: "The dispute between gods and demons has lasted for thousands of years since my ancestors opened up the demon realm, but the internal struggle within the god realm has also been unsettled and has risen again and again. But all of this will probably happen again after you exchange it for your mother's blood. ”
"Why?"
"Because of my mother's blood, it can greatly enhance the power of the gods, not to mention, it can now become a weapon to deal with the demons, and the gods are naturally extremely covetous. If they find you, I'm afraid that the war between gods and demons will break out again, and the situation is extremely unfavorable for the demons. ”
"No wonder your emperor told me not to let the Protoss take me away. However, since you also know that my blood can cause damage to the demons, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you on the way and escape?"
"One, you need my help to get the antidote to lust at the moment, and second, my mother's blood is not harmful to me or my emperor's father, after all, this is the barrier set by the emperor himself, in order to prevent the demons from violating my mother. ”
"So, if anyone is with me at this moment, they may face the provocation of the Protoss, right? He is a mortal, so he is naturally more dangerous......"
At this point, I was stunned. In my line of sight, a figure kept me breathless for a moment.
He was standing not far from us, and even though he was at a distance, I could feel the burning gaze in his eyes.
Unconsciously, my hand trembled slightly. But he took another step and walked towards me.
Seeing this, Ah Nian seemed to be about to make a move, my heart tightened, blocking his arm that was urging spiritual power, but the rest of his body was already unable to move, and he walked in front of me.
"Yinluo, you're finally back. ”
Meng Yunzhong didn't care about Ah Nian beside him at all, and directly hugged me into his arms. I didn't expect it, so I just stiffened and let him hold it, but in my mind, the river had already turned over.
Because of his appearance, everything we just talked about has lost its meaning. At the moment, I don't know where to go.
"It's fine if you're okay. Sure enough, it was you, I felt it just now, I felt that you were looking at me from afar, and then you really came back. I don't know how long it took for Meng Yunzhong to let go of me, and his deep but burning gaze looked at me, as if he was unwilling to let go of a single detail, and his eyes were slightly red. Up to this moment, he seemed to be immersed in this unexpected reunion, not paying the slightest attention to the stranger standing beside me at a loss.
But I had to push him away, and even then, I didn't dare to use any more strength, not because I was afraid of hurting him, but because there was a faint force that was preventing me from doing what I wanted to do next.
He looked at me in amazement, his expression complicated, and he stopped talking.
"Who are you?" I asked, holding out my breath and staring into his eyes.
"I ......," he was even more surprised, but he didn't seem to know how to explain, "you, don't know me anymore?"
He asked hesitantly as he looked at me with a wary and unfamiliar look.
"I've never seen you, who are you?"
"Yinluo...... You ......," he seemed unwilling to believe what he heard, "you really don't remember me?"
"You, I never have you in my memory, so why don't you remember?"
He staggered back, and my heart trembled as I saw his gaze dim instantly.
"Ah Nian, let's go. I glanced at him indifferently with a little disdain, and then took Ah Nian's arm, walked around him, and went straight in the other direction. When I rubbed shoulders, I clearly felt the pain in my heart. This is like a farewell experience, and it seems that this is not the first time.
It wasn't until I had walked far enough that I couldn't feel his breath with my spiritual power that I slowly stopped, let go of Ah Nian's arm, and tears rained down.
Ah Nian stood silently next to me, and didn't speak, letting my emotions collapse like this.
I don't know how long it took, Ah Nian said calmly:
"You made the right decision. ”
I smiled coldly: "I still want to know, after I get the antidote to poison, will your emperor confine me in the Demon Domain forever, is it the only way that I will not become a threat to the Demon Clan?"
Ah Nian was silent for a moment, and said, "The emperor is protecting you, and he promised Cangli." ”
"Protection?" I sneered again, "ridiculous." ”
"In any case, you should also know what the consequences will be if the Protoss takes you away, even if the Emperor Father restricts your freedom for this, it is to ensure your safety, and at the same time, it is also to protect the safety of the Demon Domain, so as to maintain the balance of the Six Realms. ”
"What a high-sounding excuse, why do you all want to decide my fate?!" I asked, almost out of control, turning my head to stare at him.
"Saying that my life experience is related to the secrets of the divine realm, and that saying that I am locked up is to maintain the balance of the Six Realms, are all excuses! You are nothing more than advocating power, and you are nothing more than not being able to suppress your inner desires! Whether it is the person who created me, or the person who pretends to protect me, who is not trying to achieve his own goals and satisfy his selfish desires!? Why should I follow the path you have set? What hatred or infatuation has nothing to do with me! No matter what I am, I am who I am, I live, not for the balance of the Six Realms, those gods and demons have nothing to do with me!" I was hoarse for a while, and I could no longer control the sudden indignation, but as I spoke, I only felt a burst of dizziness, and a strong spiritual power suddenly appeared from my chest, which instantly surged above my head, spreading all over my body, I breathed rapidly, but my eyes gradually became blurred, until, I no longer had any strength in my body......
When I woke up, I didn't know where I was, I still felt very tired, and the remaining trace of anger flashed in my heart. I looked around, and there were gray rock walls. I was a little flustered at once, but fortunately I saw a little green squeezing out of the crack in the stone, so I was relieved.
Then, I saw a black figure walking towards me in the other side of the cave in the twilight glow.
"You're awake. ”
Ah Nian walked smoothly next to me, and I was leaning against the edge of a jutting rock.
"What's wrong with me?"
"It's okay, maybe you were too excited and had a tire. ”
I quickly touched my lower abdomen, but I didn't feel anything else.
"Rest assured, you are not a mortal after all, and the fetus in your womb is not as fragile as a mortal. But you are already deeply poisonous, and I am afraid that you still have to control your emotions. ”
It was then that I truly realized that I was giving birth to a mortal child, and a deep sense of self-reproach swept over me. I sighed and touched my slightly bulging lower abdomen again.
"Where are we?"
"You've been asleep for a day, and I've found this cave nearby, and I'm not familiar with the human world. ”
I tried to stand up, but luckily I didn't feel like I was anymore.
"My range of activities in the human world is also very limited, and Heshan is far away from here, so we can only go to nearby towns to inquire about specific routes. ”
"Town?"
"Didn't your emperor tell me the general situation of your human world? People are mainly living in clusters, and people in a range will gather together to build a town, and many towns will form counties. The ruler of the human world is called the emperor, and all the counties and towns are under his control. ”
"Shall we, then, go among many mortals?"
Looking at his appearance at the moment, pretending to be calm, but he still couldn't hide the anxiety about the unknown situation when he first arrived in a strange world, and the depression in my heart suddenly relieved a lot. I smiled slightly: "Although mortals do not have spiritual power, they are the most complex beings in the Six Realms, and we really have to be careful when getting along with them, after all, the human world is still the jurisdiction of the gods, in case we use spiritual power to attract the attention of the gods, it will be troublesome." ”
"So, we can't use spells in front of mortals?"
I nodded solemnly, and continued to secretly watch his pretended composure as he could collapse at any moment.
He was speechless for a moment, perhaps imagining a thousand possibilities in his mind,
"So before that, you need to understand the most basic rules of mortals, at least, so that they don't think you're an alien, for example, the horns on your forehead need to be closed. ”
On both sides of Ah Nian's forehead, there are indeed two slight protrusions, after all, he is the descendant of Chi You. When the Demon Emperor is in the Demon Domain, the horns on his head will also be exposed, adding more weight to his domineering and awe-inspiring image. But when he arrives in the human realm, even if he doesn't really deal with mortals, he will hide those sharp angles. Because it was the first time for Ah Nian to leave the Demon Domain, except for Meng Yunzhong, he had never seen any other mortals, so naturally he didn't know what mortals should look like.
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his horns, but finally stopped in mid-air. He only lightly urged a trace of spiritual power, and after a few moments, his forehead was already extremely smooth, and there was no trace of horns.
I smiled slightly: "Since it's getting late now, why don't I tell you about the mortal realm I know?"
As I spoke, I raised my hand, and my fingertips moved slightly to the open space in front of me, and suddenly a flame burst out, and the air in the cave warmed up, and then looked outside the cave, the last glow had been hidden. The firelight illuminated Ah Nian's face, and suddenly I found that between his eyebrows, there was a slight shadow that made me feel kind. For a while, I suddenly had a lot of emotional changes that didn't belong to me, perhaps, another consciousness hidden in my body had a little fluctuation.
Ah Nian sat down across from me and looked at me silently. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the journey might not be so boring.
Later, I didn't know when I would fall asleep, and according to mortal time, it was about three watches. When I woke up, I was much more refreshed. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Ah Nian standing at the entrance of the cave, chewing something in his mouth, and when I looked at it again, I was immediately taken aback, and I couldn't cry or laugh.
Out of nowhere, he caught a rabbit essence of the underage type, gnawed his mouth full of blood, and the residual spiritual power overflowed from the rabbit's body, and he also sucked it all into his mouth. And on his other hand, he was clutching a branch, which also had traces of being eaten. It's only been a week since I, and the diet of the demons is nothing more than those weak monsters, and a creature that resembles a plant branch unique to the demon domain. At this moment, he must have regarded the branches of the mortal world as his daily food, and the rabbit spirit as a monster.
"What are you doing here?"
He heard my voice, and with a wave of his arm, another untrimmed rat spirit was thrown in front of me, and of course, another branch, which seemed to be thicker than the one in his hand.
The rat spirit was bound by his spell, and when he saw the fate of the rabbit spirit, he was struggling with all his might, and his two eyes looked at me, terrified, and his mouth let out a very terrible cry.
I'm guessing it's not far from the Lush Forest. If he stays for a few more days, he won't accidentally break into the lush forest to catch demons to eat, right?
Thinking of this, I shuddered and quickly unleashed the spell on the rat spirit. The rat spirit saw that he had recovered a life, and he escaped from the cave with a puff of smoke.
"What are you?" he looked at me in bewilderment.
"In the mortal world, there is no need to eat such food. Ordinary beasts and plants can satisfy hunger. The spirits here are not as good as the monsters in the Demon Domain, and they can be found everywhere, and the gold is very expensive. Besides, I'm also a demon, do you want to eat me to satisfy your hunger?"
He thought for a moment, then regained his indifferent expression, and said solemnly: "The emperor said that you are not a demon. ”
I kicked the branch away and said to him, "I'm not hungry at the moment, so let's go find the nearby mortal town." You quickly wipe your mouth clean. ”
