Chapter 17: Demon Lord Lianye
"Who are you?" Xiyan looked at the person in front of him, crying like a gossamer, and had no time to look at the appearance of the person who came.
"I'm the one you're looking for. ”
Xiyan's eyes suddenly flickered, and he opened his lips slightly: "...... Demon...... Jun?"
The woman in red who spoke squatted down and stared at her with interest, "What, don't you believe it?"
Only then did Xi Yan take a closer look at the other party's face, a pair of blue eyes full of charm, the purple/magic patterns on both sides of the eyes snaked upward, spreading to the entire forehead, the cloud bun golden step swaying, the charming posture, the appearance of the rich god Yeli. It turns out that the Demon Lord is such a bewitching woman. As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Xi Yan grabbed the woman's arm and begged, "Demon Lord, can you save Cang Yan?" ”
"Dead?" the woman's blue eyes rolled, "The person you are holding is just a spirit, how can it be so easy to die, and when the spirit body returns to its place, the body will naturally wake up." ”
Xiyan opened his confused eyes, half-convinced, "You said Cang Yan didn't die?"
"In order to save you, he separated his spirit body from the main body, and now he is being devoured by the demon core, plus ......" The woman suddenly looked at the red rune on Cang Yan's left arm, her expression narrowed, and she looked at Xiyan again, "In short, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep for a long time." ”
"How long?"
"I don't know this, it's up to him, at least a month or two, or more than a few decades. ”
Xiyan immediately burst into tears when she heard this, "It's me who hurt Cang Yan, if I don't make my own decisions, Cang Yan won't use 'shadow', and it won't be like this......"
The woman saw that she was crying very sadly, and she didn't speak, but watched quietly, with an indifferent look on her face.
After crying for a while, Xi Yan snorted, raised his head and asked in a choked voice: "Demon Lord, do you know what this thing on Cang Yan's arm is, is it related to the taboo that Xuan Ji said?"
"You don't know?" the woman looked down at her with blue eyes, her eyes indescribably strange.
Xiyan shook her head, "Xuan Ji said that she had seen me before, and said that Cang Yan had caused her to become like that, and that she wanted to seek revenge on me, could it be that I killed the previous Demon King?"
When the woman heard what she said, she couldn't help but laugh wildly, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Just you, you can kill the Demon King, hahaha...... Are you overestimating your strength, huh? The woman suddenly leaned down and gently pinched Xiyan's chin, and her long nails scraped on Xiyan's face.
Xiyan was stared at nervously by those enchanting and frosty blue eyes, and thought that she had said something that made her unhappy. She was worried about whether this person would pinch her to death in the next moment, so she stepped back in fear, subconsciously hugged Cang Yan tightly, looking vigilant, thinking that even if she had to die together, she would not be able to hurt Cang Yan's spirit.
The woman let go of her with a smile, looked at her with scrutiny, and asked, "Who is he, and it's worth crying like this." ”
Although Xiyan has not completely recovered from her sadness, her mood has finally calmed down, and when she heard this person say that she cried ugly, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Where is it ugly, it is obviously a beauty crying, is it okay for pear blossoms to bring rain? But she only dared to say in her heart that the other party was a demon lord, and he must be many times more powerful than that Xuanji just now, and besides, she still had something to ask her for help. "He's my brother. Xiyan replied truthfully.
"Brother?" the woman's look of surprise flashed, and then she asked coldly, "How long are you going to hold his spirit?" ”
Xi Yan thought that he was patronizing and crying, and Cang Yan's body should still be in Qingqiu, so he relieved to put Cang Yan's spirit body into the "Cang Yan" hanging around his neck, and then raised his head and said to the woman: "Demon Lord, I came to the Demon Realm to ask you to save someone." ”
The woman glanced at her with a cold eyebrow, "Save whom?"
"The prince of the Three Emperors Well Wolf King, his name is Youhuang, he was infected with demon poison because of the relationship between the demon species, you must have a way to save him, right?"
"Of course. ”
Xiyan suddenly burst into tears and laughed, "I knew it was right to come to you!"
But the woman immediately poured another basin of cold water, "But I don't know the person you said, why should I help you, it's not good for me, I don't think the things around me are enough." ”
Xiyan immediately wilted, "...... You, whatever benefits you want, as long as you can save Youhuang, I can give you anything. ”
"Oh, anything?" the woman was suddenly excited.
"Of course!"
"That'...... What about trading your life for it?" the corners of the woman's mouth curled slightly.
Xiyan clenched her palms, not letting go of the slightest opportunity, and nodded almost without hesitation, "It's okay." ”
The Demon Lord seemed a little surprised, but in an instant he returned to normal, and laughed wickedly, "Just kidding, what do I want your life for?" Although everyone says that I am a madman who kills people without blinking, I am not enough to kill innocents indiscriminately. ”
Xiyan's eyes lit up, "Then you agreed?"
"Hmph, I didn't say it, what I don't like the most is trouble, I didn't investigate your trespass in the demon world this time because I'm in a good mood today, hurry back to where you should go, Benjun is busy." With that, he turned to leave.
Xiyan was willing to let her go like this, and hurriedly followed, "Demon Lord, I know that this matter is easy for you, so you can send mercy to save Youhuang." ”
The woman didn't look back, but walked forward on her own, "What is compassion, I have never heard of it in my life. ”
"Didn't you hear it today? If you saved him, I would be grateful to you for the rest of my life, and I could do whatever I wanted!
"I know that you are a good person, and it is enough to prove that you didn't kill me, so you will definitely not die without help. ”
The woman said impatiently: "You are not annoyed, I am not the savior, if you follow me again, be careful that I will turn my face." ”
Xiyan still didn't give up, "Demon Lord, I will do your laundry and cook for you, clean the room, and rub your back and shoulders...... Please, save him. As she spoke, she became excited, and grabbed the woman's arm to prevent her from leaving.
The Demon Lord finally stopped, looked her up and down, and saw that her eyes were full of tears, so he exhaled, "What you said, laundry and cooking, cleaning the room, beating your back and rubbing your shoulders, do you really know how to?"
The tears swirling in Xiyan's eyes were suddenly frightened back, and she said weakly, "...... No, but I can use demon magic, and you didn't specify what method you want me to use. ”
The Demon Lord shook her hand away, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Don't play with me, do you want me to save people?"
"You're finally willing?" said Xiyan in surprise.
"Hmph!" the woman smiled meaningfully, "it's okay to ask me to save people, but you have to do something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Come with me and find out. ”
Xiyan was so happy that she couldn't speak, "Demon King, you are really a good person, not at all different from that Xuan Ji!"
The woman burst out laughing, "It's the first time I've heard someone say I'm a good person, it's ridiculous! ”
"Isn't it telling me to kill people and set fires?" said Xiyan nervously.
"I'm not a murderer! go!" the woman suddenly became fierce.
Xiyan couldn't help but stick out her tongue, this demon lord looks beautiful, why is he laughing for a while and fierce for a while, he is really a weird person, but as long as he can save Youhuang, it doesn't matter who she is!" "What do I call you, Demon Lord, I can't keep calling you Demon Lord Demon Lord." ”
"Lian Ye. ”
"What a beautiful name, it's really suitable for you, Sister Lianye. ”
The woman suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "What did you just call me?"
"Sister Lianye, is there something wrong?"
The woman sneered, "Are you talking about my old age?"
Xi Yan waved her hand again and again, and defended: "No, no, you think too much! Sister Lian Ye is obviously very young, like eighteen years old!" Youhuang's life has to be saved by her, Xi Yan doesn't dare to make her angry, otherwise she will be in trouble when she regrets it.
Although Xiyan was suspected of being a sycophant, Lian Ye seemed to be very useful in this sentence, so he immediately rewarded Xiyan with a token.
"What is this?"
"Pass to the Demon Realm. ”
"You mean I can come to the Demon Realm to play at any time in the future?" said Xi Yan innocently.
The Lotus Ye Demon Lord looked at her with strange eyes, "Play, don't be whimsical, just use you as bait for Xuan Ji." ”
Xiyan was shocked, "Hyun Ji, where is she?!"
Lian Ye didn't answer her immediately, but flew to an iron tower, only to see Lian Ye put her palm on the door, and the door opened automatically. Looking inside, it was only pitch black, and Lian Ye stepped in first and looked back at her. Xiyan hesitated for a moment, then followed into the tower. As soon as the two of them entered, the door behind them immediately closed, and at the same time, all the lights around them were lit up. Only then did Xiyan see the inside of the tower, surrounded by chains, and there was a huge floating platform in the middle, and there was a person in the middle of the floating platform, whose hands and feet were locked by red chains. The man hung his head, and the long hair on both sides almost covered most of his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like, but judging by the delicate nose and red lips, she should be a beautiful woman.
Xiyan was stunned, "Who is that person, how can he be locked here?"
Lian Ye turned around and smiled, "Didn't you ask me where Xuan Ji was?" ”
"She's Hyun Ji?!" Xiyan said in disbelief, "but hasn't she turned into a cloud of black mist?"
"As early as three thousand years ago, Xuan Ji was locked in this tower by me because of her rebellion, so she couldn't take half a step out of this demon world. ”
"Isn't it similar to Cangyan's spirit body?"
"It's far from it, the spiritual consciousness is just the residual mind of the body, it can't be killed, but the spirit body will die, and if it dies, it means that the body will also die. ”
Xi Yan subconsciously protected the "Cang Yan" on her neck when she heard this, and said, "You mean, she will come out again?" But I obviously saw that Xuan Ji was beaten by Cang Yan and dissipated. ”
"Hmph, that's just that he beat it back into the body, and now Xuan Ji wants to go out again, it will take a lot of effort. ”
Xiyan thought for a while, and suddenly turned into a sword in her right hand, "Then, as long as I kill Xuan Ji's body, then her spiritual sense will not come out again, right?" Without waiting for Lian Ye to reply, her eyes were cold, and she stabbed the sword towards Xuan Ji's heart.
That Lian Ye suddenly teleported in front of Xuan Ji, and as soon as the red sleeve was blocked, Xi Yan's sword flew out, and said coldly: "Slow! If I could kill her so easily, I would have done it a long time ago, why lock her here." Then she fell into deep thought, "It's useless to bring you to the tower, it seems that this body locked here is close to the shell, and Hyun Ji probably took advantage of my unpreparedness to transfer the spirit body elsewhere, unless the host can be found, no one can kill her." ”
After Lian Ye finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her palm to the cinnabar on Xi Yan's forehead, so fast that Xi Yan didn't have time to react, and she thought she was going to kill herself in fright, but she saw that Lian Ye's handbrake stopped an inch away from her forehead, in a grasping posture. Sure enough, I didn't expect him to seal the other part of Xuan Ji's spiritual sense, which is worthy of ...... Hehehe. ”
Xiyan was confused, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Lian Ye's expression was complicated, "It seems that he even sealed your memory...... Your brother knows best what happened back then, so when he wakes up, you can ask him yourself. ”
"How did the previous Demon Lord die?" Xiyan was still puzzled about this question, and was inexplicably sought revenge by a demon clan, but she, as a party concerned, didn't remember anything to do with the Demon Lord at all.
A trace of melancholy flashed on Lian Ye's face, "I probably died for a woman......"
Woman, who? Xuan Ji? Xi Yan wanted to continue asking, but Lian Ye waved her sleeves and threw her something. Xi Yan raised her right hand and saw a purple lotus pattern wrapped around her wrist like a bracelet. She raised her hand in front of her eyes and looked left and right, her eyes were shining, "Wow! It's so beautiful! What kind of jewelry is this? Is it a gift from Sister Lian Ye?"
Seeing the girl's excitement, Lian Ye suddenly said fiercely: "Who told you that this is jewelry!" actually used her magic pattern as jewelry, and she was simply mad by Xiyan's simple thoughts.
"What's that?"
"Hmph, you'll know then. Come with me. ”
Xi Yan complained in her heart, why does this person like to sell Guan Zi so much, and tell her that she will not die. Although I thought so in my heart, I obediently followed. Lian Ye took her through the long corridor, and saw that there were countless weapons inserted on the walls and ground around her, and the road under her feet was unpredictable. After walking for a long time, I came to a lake, and saw that the surrounding scenery was no different from what I had seen when I first entered the demon world, except that the lake water was black.
"Where is this? It's hot. As soon as Xi Yanda came in, he felt like he had entered the furnace, and his body was almost scorched.
Lian Ye ignored her complaints, walked to the lake, and said, "Okay, what I want you to do is here." Go in and find a man at the bottom of the lake and bring him up. ”
"Such a simple thing!" "How difficult did Xiyan think she was going to do by herself!"
"There is only one person at the bottom of the lake. ”
"Oh, that's right...... Wrap it around me, I'll bring people up, you have to talk and count to save Youhuang. ”
"Hmph, my Demon Lord never breaks his word. ”
After receiving Lian Ye's assurance, Xi Yan jumped into the lake without saying a word, only to find that the lake water was not affected by the temperature outside at all, but was so cold that it was biting cold, as if entering an ice cellar, so that the pores of her whole body shrank. She couldn't help but shiver in the water and quickly dived into the depths of the lake. There are no five fingers in the water, and Xiyan can only concentrate all the demonic power in his pupils to see the scene ahead. After swimming for a long time to get close to the bottom of the lake, she found that the lake was so big, if she hadn't been in good health, she would have frozen to death. Vaguely spotting a faint light at the bottom of the lake, she sped up and swam over, but was entangled in one leg by the soft and cold "aquatic weeds", she looked back, screamed in fright, and was forced to take a bite of the lake. It turned out that it was not a water plant at all, but a hand with almost no form, and Xiyan rubbed it several times before breaking free of that hand, and continued to swim forward with palpitations. However, the closer she got to the light, the more hands at the bottom of the lake became, and her legs and waist were firmly encircled, and although she seemed to be weak and weak, it made it difficult for her to move forward. What she hated most was the soft, greasy touch, and after a moment of gagging gaggedness, she summoned her sword and slashed the tentacle-like things to pieces.
It was with great difficulty that he came to the light at the bottom of the lake, and found that the light was actually emitted by a long sword, and the sword was stuck in the heart of a man who seemed to have slept under the water for a long time, and his body was covered with dead silence, and his hands holding the hilt of the sword were terribly pale and kept in a fixed position, and his face was blocked by long black hair. Could it be that the person Lian Ye asked her to find is already dead?
Xi Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully brushed the man's long hair away, and she was stunned for a moment.
She saw the man's face, and this face, she seemed to have seen somewhere.
