In the palace, Li Mo, who was left with only the last wisp of the ghost, was hiding in the body of Princess Yuhua. He tried every means to get rid of the pollution attached to the ghost, but all failed. On the contrary, it was the weird The distorted breath spread deeper and deeper into his demon.
"What the hell is this?!" Under the invasion of that breath, Li Mo only felt that his rationality was on the verge of losing control, and it was not easy to think clearly, "There must be something wrong with that Xie Yuan!"
He repeatedly thought about the things that happened during this period of time, and he was sure that Xie Yuan's big change of attitude was the first time the marriage was granted in the Golden Luan Hall. Unfortunately, he was not there at that time, so he couldn't be sure whether there was something wrong with the other party at that time.
"Who took Xie Yuan's body before me, and vice versa? Deliberately designed me to fall into the trap..." Li Mo easily came to this conclusion, and his heart sank immediately, "After planning for so long, I was actually intercepted." Already!"
"Damn?! Don't let me catch you—"
Tormented by the "filthy" Taoist text, Li Mo obviously lost his calmness in the past, and was a little more crazy and irritable, and he had to separate a lot of his mind to resist the pollution of the "filthy" Taoist text .
If he was just pretending to be weak before, then he is really weak to the extreme now.
"Ah, Ah Mo..." At this moment, the voice belonging to Princess Yuhua sounded in consciousness, with a bit of hesitation that was not there before, "...are you okay?"
The irritable Li Mo instinctively wants her to shut up, but another thought suddenly arises.
…Not long ago, the moment he was severely injured by that unknown mysterious person, the moment the pollution breath like a gangrene spread to the monster? At that moment, he sank into extreme pain? Yaopo lost contact, and it has been the same until now.
In Li Mo's mind, he suddenly had a bad guess.
If his conjecture is true, then Princess Yuhua may be his last straw.
Thinking like this, after a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth: "Yue'er..."
His voice was very complicated, weak, powerless, guilty, and a bit overwhelmed, full of emotions.
Just calling out like this?, he paused, as if he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed softly.
"I lost my composure before. You have to be careful, that Xie Yuan's body has already been taken over by another big monster. I was caught off guard by his tricks, the monster's soul was polluted, and my mind was confused. I... Forget it, maybe in your opinion? It's all an excuse, I blame me for all the mistakes! I shouldn't have treated you like that..."
The more he spoke, the more eager he became, and the remorse in his tone was undisguised, revealing deep frustration and annoyance.
In the silence, Princess Yuhua finally couldn't help but said: "No, I don't blame you, I blame that big monster for being insidious and cunning, and using such despicable means to plot against you." She was angry for a while, and then said happily, " I knew, Ah Mo, you wouldn't treat me like this, that wasn't your sincere words! Back then you were willing to die for me? How could you use me? It's all because of that fake Xie Yuan!"
Li Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
... It's good to appease Princess Yuhua. His current situation is not optimistic at all. Under the circumstances of troubles, it is best for this woman to be peaceful and not hinder her.
In a few words, the previous incident passed like a breeze, and the two of them tacitly stopped mentioning it, as if nothing had happened, and they were still the couple of you and me. It's just whether they left some traces in their hearts or not, only they themselves know.
Princess Yuhua asked again worriedly: "Ah Mo, are you okay now? Are you seriously injured? What can I do for you? And that Xie Yuan..."
When she was speaking, she faintly heard the voice of a servant not far from outside the palace—the emperor is coming down!
Princess Yuhua was at a loss for a moment.
Li Molai? I didn't have time to say more, but I just pulled Princess Yuhua's consciousness into the body again: "Yue'er, don't talk for now, leave everything to? I'll handle it."
The emperor stepped into the Mingyue Palace where Princess Yuhua lived, and saw Princess Yuhua, who was dressed in Chinese clothes and had a slightly pale face, greeted him and bowed to him: "Royal Father."
The emperor responded with a cry, motioned for everyone else to go down, and said in doubt, "Yuhua, why are you here? Did things not go well today?"
It stands to reason that it is normal to say that Princess Yuhua is in his own palace, but the emperor has long known that Princess Yuhua should be waiting for him in the cold palace at this moment—that cold palace and the formation in the palace were arranged by the emperor. of it.
And most importantly-
"Where is Xie Yuan? Have you got the fairy seed on him?"
The so-called immortal seed refers to the aptitude for cultivating immortals. This is something that Princess Yuhua invented when she fooled the emperor with the theory of immortal destiny. According to her, as long as she can extract Xie Yuan's immortal seed and hand it over to the emperor, the emperor will have the aptitude to cultivate immortals, and the fate of immortals will surely come in the future.
But now, Princess Yuhua didn't wait in the cold palace as planned? Neither did Xie Yuan and Xianzhong.
Facing the emperor's eagerly looking eyes, Princess Yuhua felt a little guilty. She intended to let Li Mo take Xie Yuan's body, and then confess everything to the emperor. And Li Mo, who is a big demon, has no lack of skills, and he can find natural treasures, all of which can be used to reward the emperor. As for the fairy species, it was all nonsense made up by her!
However, at this time, it was not Princess Yuhua who was in control of her body, but Li Mo. I saw that "her" complexion was pale, her eyes were full of bewilderment, and she opened her mouth in confusion and fear: "Royal father!" , I don't know what happened."
Under the emperor's scrutinizing eyes, the girl bit her lips and said in a sleepy tone: "I, I asked someone to bring Xie Yuan, and activated the array according to the method taught in that ancient book. The formation suddenly radiated light, the brilliance was extremely dazzling, and I didn’t see anything..." The more she spoke, the voice became softer, as if she had experienced something unbelievable, "When I look over again, Xie Yuan will see nothing. Gone, never to be found again."
The emperor frowned, and his eyes swept over her.
At this time, the "Princess Yuhua" had already lowered her head, and could not help but twist the corner of her clothes with one hand—the emperor's eyes fell on her hand. This is what Princess Yuhua would reveal every time she tried to lie to cover up something? little action.
He remained calm, and saw the girl with her head down. He said in an uncertain voice: "This, it may be the first time I used this formation and made a mistake. It is also recorded in ancient books. There are some formations that will send people out, maybe after two days, when the energy of the formation is exhausted, Xie Yuan will come back?" She nodded, "...it must be so, wait a few days God will be fine."
The emperor's furrowed brows never faded away, but he just repeated her words: "...wait a few more days?"
"Princess Yuhua" let go of her twitching fingers, raised her head and looked at the emperor: "Waiting for a few more days will definitely work?" She skillfully reached out her hand to hold the emperor's sleeve, and vowed, "Father, you Still don't believe me?"
The girl? Her cheeks bulged slightly, with a hint of anger.
"You." The emperor let go of his tightly locked brows, revealing a gentle and loving smile, "Of course my father believes in you. Alright, then let's wait a few more days."
After sending the emperor away, "Princess Yuhua" relaxed now. You must know that there are still traces of pollution spreading in Li Mo's demon soul. It is really exhausting for Princess Yuhua to make the emperor not suspicious.
... Fortunately, everything has been fooled for the time being!
But another consciousness in the body watched Li Mo pretend to be himself from the beginning to the end, deceived the emperor, and acted like a spoiled child to the emperor skillfully, as if he was another princess Yuhua of himself, but After a long silence, he opened his mouth: "Amo..."
Li Mo resisted his impatience and replied: "Huh?"
"Just now, that is... why are you so proficient?"
Seeing Li Mo imitate himself to perfection, for some reason, Princess Yuhua's heart popped up inexplicably? A trace of panic, and some indescribably complex emotions.
The next moment, Li Mo's gentle voice came: "Yue'er, you forgot, I've been by your side all these years, who else in this world knows you better than me?"
Princess Yuhua was reminded by him, and she suddenly remembered many past events, Xiao Hei who was sent to her as a pet, Xiao Hei who rushed to protect him when provoked by other princes and princesses, Xiao Hei who died for her? Since "Resurrection"?, Ah Mo, who has been with her all the time...
In an instant, the trace of fear that just popped up in her heart and other indescribable complex emotions dissipated. Instead, tender and soft feelings filled my heart.
She gave a soft "huh"? and stopped talking.
But after thinking about leaving? The emperor, she was a little worried: "Can those words deceive the father? In fact, the father loves me very much. Otherwise, let's tell the truth and let him help you—"
"No!" Li Mo's tone was a little hasty.
Princess Yuhua was very puzzled.
Li Mo had no choice but to continue: "Don't. You should know that your father has been asking immortals for many years. If you know my identity... a demon king is exposed... maybe you can attract a cultivator who is hiding in the world..."
He said it euphemistically, but Princess Yuhua understood what he meant, and she immediately came to her senses: "That's right. Once the royal father has the intention of attracting ascetics, and rashly reveals your identity, Ah Mo, it will be bad."
"So it seems? We can only find ways to help you recover." She sighed very sadly, thinking that she and Li Mo were squeezed into one body, she felt a little awkward, so she said coyly. "It's a bit inconvenient after all, Ah Mo, can you go out first?"
At this time, in order to concentrate on resisting the polluting aura in Yaopo, Li Mo has let Princess Yuhua take over her body again. Hearing her question, Li Mo's consciousness was silent for a moment, and then he said: "I have been injured too badly this time, maybe I need to cultivate the demon soul well, and I don't know if I can escape temporarily—I need to try."
Princess Yuhua agreed without hesitation
Li Mo's so-called attempt is very simple.
Before, he lied to Princess Yuhua that entering other people's bodies requires a degree of fit, and if the fit is too low, it may fail. In fact, it is not necessary, as long as that person is voluntary, or signs a voluntary "oath", he can possess. There are too many ways for demons to trick mortals into vows.
With the cooperation of Princess Yuhua, it is even easier. With her honorable status, once an order is issued, none of the servants and servants in Mingyue Palace would dare to disobey.
Even if Princess Yuhua made any strange request, these servants did not dare to refute. By setting up some language traps, these people will "voluntarily" let go of the protection and allow Li Mo to possess Princess Yuhua.
Now that Li Mo's demon soul has been severely injured, he doesn't dare to separate out too much. He just separates out a little bit and attaches himself to these human bodies as a pathfinding stone. If it succeeds, it means that he can get out of Princess Yuhua's body; if it fails, it means that his conjecture has come true.
…
When one person and one demon in the Mingyue Palace tried to take the lives of the servants, the emperor had already left the Mingyue Palace, summoned several hidden guards, and asked about what happened in the cold palace.
Those hidden guards have been guarding nearby all the time, and they only saw Princess Yuhua come out in a daze. They have never seen "Xie Yuan" - after digesting the magic formula in Li Mo's demon soul, some simple blindfolding methods are very harmful to Yuan. It's not easy to say - this seems to corroborate Princess Yuhua's words.
The emperor didn't show any surprise, and waved back the dark guard, his eyes pondered: "... how many more days do we have to wait?"
He sat in the empty hall? He stared straight into the sky, wondering what he was thinking about.
"This is the answer you gave me? Everything is going well, how many more days will I be able to show up?"
"...Or, did something happen that I don't know about?"
At this moment, the dark guard who had left for a short time reappeared and handed an urgent handwritten letter to the emperor's case.
The emperor took a look and suddenly stood up.
"Did something happen to Daozhen Temple? Master Chi Xiao also died?"
