After the figure of Queen Mother Xi completely disappeared, Jialan still knelt on the ground in silence and did not get up for a long time.
Looking at the figure in blue who was abandoned in front of the Alchemy Palace, everyone felt helpless. Although Jia Lan didn't get along with them for a long time, this girl was indeed very lovable. They didn't know what happened, they only knew that Jialan seemed to be expelled from Yaochi because of Lin Qiye...
Suddenly, they looked at Lin Qiye with unkind eyes, as if they were looking at a scumbag.
Lin Qiye let out a long sigh and walked up to Jia Lan. A face that was full of tears suddenly came into view.
"Hate me?" Lin Qiye said softly.
Jia Lan glared at him fiercely, hit Lin Qiye's chest with a white fist, and shouted with a cry:
"I told you not to save me, not to save me... You must take the opportunity to put the immortality pill in my mouth! Now it's better, even the queen doesn't want me! You bastard bastard bastard bastard..."
Jialan's fists fell on Lin Qiye like raindrops. Lin Qiye did not hide, but just let Jialan beat him for a long time without saying a word.
After a while, Jialan looked down at his fists which were red from the shock, and started to cry more and more sadly.
"Have you relieved yourself?" Lin Qiye asked.
"No!" Jia Lan wiped away her tears, punched Lin Qiye again, and silently put his twitching hand behind his back.
"I know you gave me the Immortal Pill to save me... but I'm just a pearl soul. My mission is to serve the empress. Apart from occasionally accompanying her to shoot arrows to relieve her boredom, I don't even know how to fight. How can I bear this? Important stuff…
It's okay now, the empress doesn't want me anymore, and Yaochi doesn't want me either... I'm completely alone. "
Looking at Jia Lan's red eyes, Lin Qiye suddenly felt guilty...
The current Jialan is just a pearl soul raised by the Queen Mother of the West. Strictly speaking, the Queen Mother of the West is her mother, and she is just an ignorant girl who is not deeply involved in the world. She can be tricked into being sold in a brothel casually. kind of.
Queen Mother Xi expelled Jialan because of herself. This is just like her own daughter who went out to hang out with street gangsters and was pregnant with a child. When her parents found out, she kicked her out of the house and severed the relationship between mother and daughter.
The most aggrieved person was Jialan. She had no intention of elopement at all!
But Lin Qiye couldn't help it... He couldn't just watch Jia Lan die in front of him, right
He subconsciously replied, "It's okay, they don't want you, I want you."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qiye wanted to slap himself, and he felt more and more that he was a scumbag who deceived an ignorant girl.
Jialan glared at him angrily and stood up staggeringly from the ground, "It's not all your fault... Of course you have to be responsible! At least... At least help me find a job in the world that can give me enough to eat. !”
Hearing this, the corners of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched wildly, and he suppressed his smile and asked calmly:
"Any other requests?"
Jia Lan thought about it carefully and said, "Yes! I don't want to do that kind of job of dancing in the crowd with some clothes on!"
"...Okay." Lin Qiye turned around and kept massaging the cheek muscles that were about to cramp. He took two deep breaths to calm down.
Lin Qiye stepped towards the people not far away, and was about to say something, but found that they were all looking at him with strange expressions.
"What's wrong?"
"When do you plan to marry?" Zhan Yuwu asked seriously.
Lin Qiye was confused, "What?"
"What? You still want to quibble?" Chloe raised her head, with an expression that she had seen through everything, "It was the first time I saw you two together, and I felt that there was something wrong in the way you looked at that girl. You were clearly I've fallen in love with someone!
explain! Did you deliberately stumble and let others be expelled from Yaochi so that you could take advantage of it? "
"Brother Qiye, it's understandable that a gentleman can be jealous, but you've already done this. If you don't get married, it will be difficult for you to end up." Yan Zhong advised earnestly, "You probably don't know how, you just want to have fun. ?”
"Scum." Gongyang Wan said coldly.
Lin Qiye:…
"I, I didn't say I wouldn't marry..." Lin Qiye glanced at Jia Lan who was wiping tears in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, let's put this matter aside for now, business matters... You guys are here to guard the Marquis. I’ll go find the Queen Mother of the West again.”
"What to do?" Zhan Yuwu asked.
"Have you forgotten what we are here for?" Lin Qiye pointed to the wicker on the side, "Now there is only one god left in the Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother. Without her help, how could we kill Kusuen? ?”
"That's right... But you just ran away from her in anger, and now you're looking for her again. Is it appropriate?"
"Don't worry." Lin Qiye turned to look into the distance, "She... is the Queen Mother of the West."
…
Yaochi, sleeping palace.
The Queen Mother of the West stood on top of the ruins, her eyes slowly sweeping across the bloody earth below. In addition to the rotten willow branches, corpses of heavenly soldiers were displayed on the ground. Her hands were tightly clenched, and a trace of guilt appeared on her expression.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind her.
"What's the matter?" Queen Mother Xi said in a deep voice.
"My Lady, although the Yaochi Rebellion has been resolved, the willow tree's body is still near Kunlun Mountain..."
"That monster destroyed my Yaochi, I will kill it." The fierce murderous intention burst out from the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, and her voice became deeper and deeper, "This matter is a grudge between gods. You and other mortals don't have to Intervened."
"Empress, these restraining gods come from outside the world. Their strength should not be underestimated. With just Empress, the chance of winning is extremely low." Lin Qiye said solemnly, "Now that the Heavenly Court is outside the territory, if Empress dies, there will be no more in this world. You can kill that monster, but please consider the sake of all sentient beings in the world and don’t act recklessly!”
Hearing this, the murderous intent in Queen Mother Xi's eyes quickly calmed down. She frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Qiye,
"how do you want to do it?"
"Leave it to me to hunt down Kusuen. After we have severely injured him, the queen will take action to kill him. This is the safest strategy."
"Do you want me to hide behind you mortals?"
"Mortals are no weaker than gods. If your Majesty doesn't believe me, can you dare to fight me?" Lin Qiye's voice was extremely calm.
Upon hearing these words, Queen Mother Xi's eyes narrowed. She frowned and stared at Lin Qiye for a long time before slowly shaking her head:
"I've had enough of killing each other... Since you have a plan, I will follow you."
Queen Mother Xi stretched out her hand and handed the Kunlun Mirror to Lin Qiye, "If you carry this mirror with you, I will definitely take action at the critical moment."
"Thank you for your help, ma'am."
Lin Qiye respectfully put away the Kunlun Mirror and was about to leave when the Queen Mother of the West's voice sounded again:
"etc."
Lin Qiye looked back in confusion.
Queen Mother Xi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked into the ruins of the palace, and took out a light yellow hardwood bow.
"On my behalf, please pass this bow and arrow to Jialan."
