Chapter 55: Snakes and Spiders
It was dark at the entrance of the cave, but the moment she followed Sether's footsteps into the cave, a faint blue halo poured down, and when her eyes adjusted to the light and darkness here, she found that the wonderful blue light came from the jewel-like sparkling hot spring in the center of the cave.
There is also a round platform with shimmering blue light next to the spring. The top, the four walls, and the bottom of the spring are full of glittering blue glowstones, large or, and of different shapes, each of which is overflowing with unpredictable brilliance on the unbelievably beautiful blue background, as if the entire starry sky is concentrated in this glittering cave
From the outside, the green vines that extend and climb in are like thin satin around the cave wall, entangled, dotted with golden flowers, and the blue light spots that fill the eyes are intertwined. The steaming mist of the hot springs blends with the dreamy colors, the slender flower stalks, the blue stars, the shimmering colours, the sobriety of the grass and the dark scent of wild flowers, mixed with the warm charcoal smell of hot springsβit is like a dream that cannot be described in words.
"It's just beautiful. Yin Xinmei muttered excitedly, only then did he regret that he usually didn't read much, and for a while and a half, he couldn't find beautiful words and sentences that could express his chest directly to describe the shock that Lanxing Cave brought to him.
She turned her head to look at Sether, between whom he stood silently, his hands caressing the glowstone on the cave wall, motionless like a statue, his eyes glowing, as if immersed in the memories of the past, the anger, sorrow, anxiety and restlessness on his face had been swept away, and he felt as if he had seen him dressed in plain clothes, wearing a golden crown and holding a scepter, like a young master of a generation, kind and majestic, with a beautiful face and a dignified and chic face.
"It's one of my fondest memories here. It's hard to imagine that I haven't been back for seven years," Sether sighed, "but that kind of past seems to have happened yesterday." β
Everything in the Blue Star Cave is intoxicating, and the warmth and fragrance here are like an invisible hand full of magical power, gently brushing away all their previous tiredness and fear.
Hidden eyebrows easily shot the three partridges, and Sether lit a bonfire at the mouth of the cave, and she admired his skillful movements, plucking, disemboweling, washing, piercing, and roasting. They brought two bottles of champagne and a stack of Jallal patties wrapped in mulberry leaves from the wagon.
If it weren't for Sether not allowing her to drink, this picnic in the cave would have been nothing short of good.
"You're too bad for a lot of alcohol," Sether snatched back the champagne from his hand and uncorked it with his sword, "in order to prevent you from getting drunk and going crazy and causing you and me to lose our combat effectiveness, plus I'm a badly injured wound not long ago, so," he cocked his neck and took a big sip, "you must stay away from my champagne." β
"What is your champagne? I obviously bought it from Lotus," and "Isn't it time for the injured to be abstained from drinking?"
She moved to his side and reached into his undergarment, her fingertips not touching any moisture or stickiness, and it seemed that they had been on foot for so long, and his wound had not cracked again, which was a blessing in disguise.
"Hidden eyebrows, you reached out and touched me along the way, and took advantage of me twice in vain," he suddenly grabbed her arm, "How can I spare you?"
"What do you want?"
"Take it off. β
"I never take my clothes off. β
"What do you think? I am," Sether leaned closer to the base of her ear, "taking off her boots. β
After a while, the two of them sat on the round platform next to the spring, both took off their boots, rolled up their trousers, and soaked their feet in the hot spring.
"I really didn't expect you, an emperor, to roast partridges. Yin Xin said.
"I didn't expect you to be a woman who wouldn't know any of this. β
"Ah," she was embarrassed, "I used to eat ready-made...... Also, I haven't camped either. β
"I can see that you are not good at anything other than fighting, running away, chopping off your fingers, and killing," Sether said in a playful tone. β
"Blind. β
"Not blind. β
"Did you really defeat the strongest warrior at the age of fifteen?"
"That was ten years ago, and I may not be as flexible as I was then, but I was twice as strong as I was then. β
"It's hard to imagine," said Yin Xin's eyes full of disbelief, "if your appearance is not so beautiful, people should be able to notice more of your good qualities." β
"So, you think I have a lot of good points?"
"Except for the poisonous tongue, black belly, meanness, sarcasm, ridicule, cold-bloodedness, alcoholism, and lust," Yin Xinmei counted with his fingers, "You still have a lot of good left." β
"Thank you. But the last point I want to emphasize, it was just a vent of energy before I met you, and now I have to spare you. β
"Hah, you're really. β
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," Sether grabbed her hand and pressed it to his heart, "can you feel my heartbeat?"
"Everybody's got a heartbeat, Sethy. Hidden eyebrows.
"But not every Rao's heart beats so fast. My heart has never been so excited, and it's all because you're by my side;" Sether's other hand caressed her cheek, and the blue glow shrouded his immaculate face, and he looked at his eyebrows and eyes, even though he knew him for a long time, but the beauty of his face always surprised her as if she had seen him for the first time, and it seemed that beauty always appeared in his every subtle expression in different forms, unpredictable," Maybe the encounter between you and me is not very good, I have done a lot of wrong things, and I have regretted countless times, but as long as you and I live together in this world, then you are my only hope. Hidden eyebrows, I loved you and wanted to marry you, I will always say these words to you. You're not married yet, are you? Even if you do, I don't want to give up on you. β
"Farewell, Sether. β
"You can reject me, that's your business;" Seser pressed her palm to her lips, the soft touch made her tremble, "and pursuing you, longing for you, is my business, you don't care, hide your eyebrows." You can't stop me from wanting you, any more than you can't stop the sun from rising and the moon from setting. β
"I-"
"You don't want anything. Sether immediately interrupted her, and he couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist and put her head on his shoulder, "I know that you are determined to marry Remassa, and I know that you are determined not to give yourself to me, I can see it in your eyes. I can't help it, I can only blame the Eternal King, who made me fall in love with you stubborn donkey. β
"Our days together are getting less and less, it's like a countdown. I'm counting every minute and second we can walk and talk side by side like this," he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "knowing if we can meet again in the future after the Golden City Carnival." If so, will it be a year, or three years, or thirty years, or a lifetime?"
She had never thought that Seser would be so heartfelt in her heart, she thought that he would only use his beauty to lure her into sin, but now his affectionate confession broke the strong fortress in her heart, making her feel extremely guilty.
Just as she was pondering what words to use to reply to Sesher, so that he would not feel humiliated and sad, and that she would not break her word, in an instant, the pattern on the opposite wall attracted her attention.
Yin Xinmei suddenly shuddered, she pumped her feet up from the hot springs, and stood up straight.
"What's wrong with you?" Sesher followed her to her feet.
She walked heavily into the cave wall, which was carved with childish patterns among the dotted fluorites, and in the two unusually bright pentagonal fluorites, the hidden eyebrows found something that made her feel awe-inspired.
"Sether," she said hoarsely, "you've done it before, what animals did you like to depict on the walls when you were playing with Lord Belen in the Blue Star Cave?"
"Lions, zebras, cows, sheep, pigeons, and other domestic animals," Sesher, sensing the uneasiness in her tone, "why do you ask this?"
"You've too, the thing I was most afraid of when I was in BelΓ©m was ......"
"Snakes and spiders. Not only was it time, but he was still scared to death of both animals. He walked over and stood side by side with Hidden Eyebrows, his gaze touching her fingertips.
"Therefore, you will never carve ...... on the wall"
Sether saw something that made his eyebrows tremble, and his face turned white, "Snakes and spiders." He said softly, as if asking her, more like asking himself, "How can there be snakes and spiders here?"
Hidden eyebrows stared at Sether solemnly, and the latter responded to her with the same look, and suddenly, the same strong thought suddenly rose in both of their hearts.
"There's a trick!" exclaimed the two in unison, "Run!"
However, at that moment, the atmosphere of the entire Blue Star Cave suddenly became eerie and terrifying, the spring water stopped, the heat was gone, the fluorite was dim, and the beautiful vines climbing on the cave wall also withered and withered in an instant, and the stones and flowers fell to the ground one after another.
The whole cavern began to shake violently, as if an earthquake was about to erupt, and Hidemien heard the huge and frenzied neighing of the two horses outside, and they trampled their hooves frantically as if trying to escape.
Seser clenched his hidden hand, and as soon as the two of them rushed to the entrance of the cave, they saw dozens of huge poisonous pythons curled up at the door with scarlet eyes, long fangs, and venom flowing to the ground like ropes.
In the darkness, the dozens of pairs of hideous and vicious snake eyes seemed to burn with red evil fire, and all around them were the terrible sound of them hissing and spitting letters with their huge heads held high.
These poisonous insects from hell are like iron pillars that stand in a semicircle at the entrance of the cave, completely cutting off their destination.
Yin Xinmei pulled out the holy bow, and just wanted to shoot the thickest poisonous python among them, only to hear a sharp metal sound in the night wind, she secretly screamed in her heart, but she couldn't dodge, a sharp pain pierced her heart, and she was hit by an arrow in her right arm.
"Hidden eyebrows!" Sether immediately pounced to examine her injuries.
"It's okay," Yin Xinmei gritted his teeth and pulled out the shaft of the arrow, looking at the bloody black iron arrow through the moonlight, "There is no poison on it, just some flesh wounds, it will hurt for a while." β
"No one can hurt the Duke's lovely pet, the Hidden Lotus woman. An unfamiliar male voice growled.
"Don't hide in the dark like a," Sether was furious, "the dog barks a few times when it sees the enemy, but you refuse to show up, it seems that you are not as good as the male dog raised by the bloody rose." β
"Look for death!"
After the man's voice roared, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the moonlight, and Sether drew his long sword and was about to meet the enemy, but at this moment, he heard a scream, and he only felt a sack-like weight fall at their feet.
The two heads looked at each other, and suddenly felt shocked, a man with clear eyebrows foaming at the mouth, bleeding from his seven orifices, and collapsed to the ground, his neck was tightly wrapped around a brightly colored five-step snake, and he was not immediately dead, and his throat made a gritty grinding pimple sound. The man gasped and groaned in pain, as if he had a stomach full of grievances to confide in.
At this moment, the sound of leather boots on the grass and trees was heard, and a strong fragrance wafted through the air, and not far away appeared several bright torches and two columns of tall men walking slowly.
Hidden eyebrows, these men carried a huge palanquin covered with a canopy, but the face of the sittingly tall was covered and could not be seen, but by the light of the fire and the moonlight, two long legs as white as jade could be clearly seen gracefully overlapping the pedals, and the gold chains inlaid with ruby and emerald shimmered in an unpredictable halo on her slender ankles.
Seeing all this in front of him, Sethy's expression instantly changed from anger to hatred.
"I, don't hurt His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Yin," the voice of the comer was low and charming, "poor Louie, why don't you listen to me?"
"I, I'm doing all this for, for, for you, my beauty," the man named Louis struggled to squeeze the words out of his teeth, he was dying, and now the voice could only be a miracle of love, "Meili, I love you, but, but you, you are ......"
"I love you too, handsome, strong Louie. But if you don't listen to me, I'll kill you," the Duke of Windsor's voice grew closer, "and when you come to church, baby, I will remember you." β
The woman's words made a sword plunge into Louis's heart, deadlier than snake venom. Finally, the man who was dying at the feet of the hidden eyebrows let out a heartbreaking sigh and finally died in pain and despair.
Hidden eyebrows were mad, and she could finally empathize with the hatred that Sesher gritted his teeth at the mention of the Duchess of Windsor.
"You're a demon. Sether growled.
"Oh, we're finally meeting again, but is that what you're going to say to me when we meet again? Your Majesty, I'm so sad. β
The sedan chair stopped in front of the two, the pair of jade legs opened lightly, stepped down, and saw the Duke of Windsor's husband Rao with a clear eyebrow, only to see that she was wearing a huge and heavy bearskin cloak, without a trace of her body, and a pair of blood-red high-heeled cloud shoes, and an equally scarlet python wrapped around her body, just covering her chest and shame.
"The Duchess of Windsor. Sether said coldly, "You're still as evil as you were back then." β
"My Majesty Sether. Mei Li responded, "You are also as glamorous as before." β
