"How is Little Snow Rabbit? How is Red Leaf?" Mochizuki couldn't wait to ask as soon as he finished telling what happened after Chi Lamir said goodbye.
"They are all good..."
Xia Qiu wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Ling Yu.
He complained childishly: "Brother Shadow, ah no... I should be called Brother Wangyue. You have deceived me miserably!"
"I couldn't help myself! Don't blame me, little brother!" Mochizuki said with an embarrassed smile.
"It's my fault too. I'll never go back to Chi Lemir again on impulse." Lingyu pursed his lips and shook his head.
"By the way, thanks to your friend, Miss Leng Ai, she helped me a lot!" Wang Yue suddenly remembered that she had not yet thanked Ling Ai, Ling Ai's friend in Paradise.
"Leng Ai, I don't know how that girl is doing!" Ling Yu muttered.
Mentioning Leng Ai's name made him feel very uncomfortable. When he accepted the test of the Ring of Beiming that day, although he saw only hallucinations, when he heard that Leng Ai died to fulfill his instructions, the pain and regret in his heart were still indelible.
"Oh, it was me who got that girl into trouble!" Wang Yue couldn't help but worry.
"When we fight back to the Fire City, won't we be able to save that girl?"
Qian Qi suddenly intervened. Although his words were spoken without thinking, they revealed everyone's thoughts.
As soon as he heard that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others were on their way back to the royal city, and that the array materials in Wood City and Shuicheng had been destroyed one after another, Wang Yue became energetic.
In fact, in order to hide from those pursuers in the past few days, he has been tortured enough, with no food to eat, and shabby clothes... These are small things to him. The key is that not only can he not drink good wine, but he has to be in fear all night long. It's hard to sleep.
He knew that most of the teenagers would not have any alcohol on them, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any alcohol on you?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, he had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "That's okay! By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
This time, the teenagers all nodded.
He took out the wild animals he had hunted long ago and lit a fire. Everyone sat warmly around the fire, chatting and laughing while roasting meat. Time seemed to go back to last year. On the way to Xianhequan Township, they also drank horses and rested by the mountain stream, and the aroma of the grilled fish seemed to still be smellable now.
It had been a long time since Wangyue had been as relaxed as he was now. He slept very deeply that night, and when he opened his eyes again, it was the time to say goodbye again.
"I must find an opportunity to go to the contact point and wait for Sanmu's instructions. I still can't go back to the royal city for the time being. Please explain it to Hongye for me!" Seeing that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others were reluctant to leave, he comforted.
As the teenagers drifted away from each other, Wangyue was filled with emotions. The wild and carefree self she once had no longer existed. Since he agreed to Ouyang Hongye to be a shadow and secretly help Demon King Fox accomplish his great cause, he must get rid of the reluctance in his heart about the past.
The only thing he couldn't worry about was Little Snow Rabbit. He parted from her without saying a word. She must be blaming herself in her heart. She has lost her father's love since she was a child, and her mother is too strict. I don't know what she would do all day long without his company. Thinking of this, he could only let out a long sigh, hoping to end his mission as soon as possible and clear his grievances, so that he could return to her and Ouyang Hongye.
The city is made of green soil, and the entire city is built on a layer of stepped hills, like a stroke of genius.
The seemingly poisonous blue soil in the city is extremely fertile, and is covered with colorful medicinal plants. The brick-red buildings in the city make the entire city look like a brilliant rainbow.
The demon spirit clan who built Qingyang City was once the largest clan in the demon world. They were both demons and demons, and were extremely spiritual. Their bodies were similar to red-haired apes, and their faces also had ape features in their human form. Whether it is in the economic or military aspects of the demon world, they have played a very important position.
It's just that since the ghost hidden hundreds of years ago, the newly born tribesmen have been unable to escape the fate of death. According to previous understanding, there should be only some old and weak tribesmen left in this city. They still stay here and make a living by growing plants that make elixirs.
But when the intelligence team sent by Ouyang Hongye came here with the red-eared demon spirit, and after a period of investigation, they found that the truth was far from simple as imagined.
After Wang Jue's red-eared demon spirit brought his son back to Qingyang, he first settled his son in the palace's villa on the top floor, and then started taking action himself. As if they had made an appointment with him in advance, the convoy from Chi Lemir also arrived here the next day and set up camp at the lowest level of the city.
There are five people in the convoy, all of whom are Salamander's trusted subordinates. Among them, the leader is Salamander's former guard captain Huang Xiezi, which shows how cautious Salamander is in order to complete the task assigned by Qingyun.
There are many reasons for one person to be loyal to another person. It may be due to respect, love, or gratitude, but Salamander's devotion to Qingyun largely stems from fear.
At that time, Qingyun, who was seriously injured, suddenly came to Chi Lemier. He thought that with his injuries, he could not do anything to him. Who would have thought that before it was Qingyun's turn to take action, his general Qingyun had already rushed into the palace and wielded a knife. Put it on his neck.
Besides begging for mercy, what else could the salamander do? If he resisted, not to mention the underground city he had worked so hard to build, his own life would be at risk. Even if he is in the desert far away from the emperor, he still knows that there is such a demon in the demon world that can make anyone afraid of him.
He originally wanted to free up his palace for Qingyun, but unexpectedly he refused because living in the palace was too ostentatious and could easily reveal his hiding place, so he chose the hotel in the east of the city. .
And Salamander has now become a soldier running errands for him. Not only that, he is also worried all day long, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will not even be able to save his whole body. If it weren't for the fantasy that one day, when Qingyun would destroy the Demon King Fox and dominate the demon world, he would leave his tiny place, he would have abandoned the city and fled long ago.
Wild Scorpion and the Red-eared Demon Spirit would meet each other in Qingyun every once in a while and bring Qingyun's instructions to him. The reason why the red-eared demon spirit took refuge in Qingyun was entirely for the sake of his only son Kui.
Kui has been cute and cute since he was a child, and he is extremely talented. He is regarded as the hope of the demon spirit tribe because of his natural supernatural powers. Some people even say that this child is the reincarnation of the red ape demon. As a father, who wouldn't be happy to hear such words? He only wants to train him to become a great prince.
Unexpectedly, on that evening twenty years ago, the thing he feared most happened.
That day, six-year-old Kui was taken to play by the demon servant. They played a game of catch that is very popular among children in the demon world.
The rules of this game are simple, that is, arrange the participants in order in advance, and then throw the ball. Participants can hit the ball with any part of their body, once for each person in order, and then cycle. No matter what method you use, you must not let the ball fall to the ground. When it is whose turn it is, if the ball lands on the ground, you will lose. The loser will be eliminated, and the rest will continue to cycle until there is only one person left, and that person will be the king. You can give a small punishment to the losers.
Although Kui is young, he is very competitive and never admits defeat. At first, the demon servants gave in to him, but later they got tired of losing too many times and stopped conserving their strength. In order to catch the ball, he went all over the world and did everything possible. As a result, Kui, who was still a child, felt even more strenuous.
One of the demon servants kicked the ball over the courtyard wall with too much force. Kui flew over and followed it, but there was no trace of the ball. The courtyard behind that wall had not been used for a long time. The grass on the ground was overgrown, and the few shabby houses that remained were desolate.
In the courtyard that should have been deserted, Kui heard the sound of the ball bouncing on the ground.
"Bang~bang~bang..." one after another.
He heard the sound and looked for it, only to see a huge black shadow projected on the wall. He lost consciousness just as he was about to get closer. He had no idea what was going on.
He fell into a coma and was not found by the demon servants until night. Strangely enough, they searched for him several times in the dilapidated courtyard, but there was no sign of him, and then he appeared there inexplicably.
Kui slept for three days and three nights before waking up, and when he woke up again, he was what he was now.
His whole body was weak and he had stopped growing. A black circular mark appeared on his back, and the mark was getting bigger and bigger. Although his father tried every means for him to recover for more than ten years, he never succeeded. Not only that, the situation got worse and worse, and everyone concluded that he was dead soon.
As Kiyakure's provider, he is just a bottle filled with essence. Once the essence is sucked out, the bottle will be shattered. If his father hadn't used the ancestral elixir to keep him alive over the years, he would have died long ago.
For a long time, he had been completely indifferent to what his father was doing. The physical pain and mental torture had turned him into an empty shell without a thought. He could only eat and sleep numbly, and lived a mediocre life. .
Ever since she learned that her son had encountered Kiyakure, his wife chose to commit suicide because she could not accept the fact that she had to watch her child die with her own eyes. But the red-eared demon spirit would never give up on his son just like that. As long as his son could live one more day, he would have one more chance to find a way to recover him.
Sure enough, he had been waiting for such a day. When he returned to Qingyang as usual to look for plants that could make elixirs, he met a convoy that was also here to buy elixirs.
The other party should have already figured out his details, and revealed his identity as soon as he met him. After all, he is also a prince of the demon world. When the other party mentioned Qingyun's name, he could not avoid it. But the other person's words, "Do you want to know how to save your son's life?" seemed to hit his Achilles heel and made him give up resistance.
