The incense in the bronze statue of the Ape Red Demon has finally burned out, but the fragrance in the inner hall is still filling the air. The door opened automatically with a bang. The people from the Heyin and Intelligence Team outside were still dueling with the skeleton soldiers one second ago, but this second the skeleton soldiers suddenly stopped. Their bones suddenly fell apart. The attached bronze armor fell to the ground together, making a clanking sound.
The demonic nature in Ouyang Xiaoleng's body gradually receded, the red scales on his face and arms basically disappeared, and his pupils returned to their original gray-blue color, but he still held Xia Qiu across his arms and refused to let go. After experiencing a battle with the Ape Red Demon and losing too much blood, she was very weak at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that her face was too pale after anemia, she thought her cheeks would be blushing from shyness.
"It's all over!" Mochizuki said, turning her stiff neck.
The bones in his neck seemed to have been misaligned when he was thrown out by the Ape Red Demon. He suppressed the pain and waited for a click, then moved other parts of his body and found that there were still several injuries. After covering Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others' escape from the Fire City last time, plus the old injuries from the fight with Yasha's group and this time's injuries, he felt that he would have to take a good rest before returning to the royal city this time to fully recover. Of course, good wine is also indispensable. He remembered that there were many kinds of wine in Ouyang Yong's wine cellar that he wanted to taste. And Snow Rabbit, I must spend some time with her when I go back this time.
"Hey, can you put Xia Qiu down?" Qianqi shouted to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"That's right. He's obviously regained his willpower, and yet he's still using his demonic nature to cause mischief!" Ling Yu also chimed in.
Ouyang Xiaolieng ignored them and walked straight out of the Buddha Hall, leaving the people behind him in mourning.
"If you don't come out, we may not be able to hold on anymore. Those skeleton soldiers keep popping up, and they can't be killed at all!" Heyin said with a long sigh of relief.
Even he himself didn't expect that they would persist until the last moment. Looking at the Demon Spirit Tribe warriors behind him who were supporting each other due to injuries, his heart was filled with gratitude. Although they are younger than him, they are all older people. The high-intensity battle like just now relies entirely on willpower.
There are also those people in the intelligence team. Although they met by chance, they have formed a deep friendship because of their cooperation just now. Now that he had finally completed the task for his son and repaid part of the kindness of Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, he felt indescribably relaxed both physically and mentally.
Outside the gate, Heye, who was supported by Lao Mi, was leading many members of the Demon Spirit Tribe who were waiting eagerly. When they saw them coming out, they all looked at each other and smiled, and then waved vigorously at them.
Knowing that they had defeated the undead of the Aru Red Demon and put an end to Guigakure, the entire demon clan in Qingliang City was boiling. For them, the person who can defeat the Ape Red Demon is the strongest warrior in the world so far, and according to their beliefs, a powerful warrior will be respected by all the tribesmen like gods and given the highest courtesy.
Heyin's children were finally freed from the endless nightmare. Not long after the Aru Red Demon's life gate was broken, they sat up from the bed and called for their mother. Ling Ding was originally in the kitchen of the outhouse. When she first heard the voices of the children in the back room, she thought she was hallucinating, but then she thought about how calling so hard could be a hallucination. She rushed inside and saw the children sitting on the bed, blinking at her.
When her son Xiao Shitou saw her coming in, he was the first to say, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
My daughter Doudou also shouted: "Me too, me too!"
"Okay, mother will prepare delicious food for you!" Ling Dang responded with tears of joy.
Although Xiao Shitou and Doudou have just recovered from the ghost, they already look like healthy children. Except for being slightly thinner, their eyes are innocent, smart and naughty. Lingdang held them all in his arms, wanting to tell Heye and Xia Qiu the good news as soon as possible.
How should she and Heye thank Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng? A hundred years ago, they saved their own and Hinaye's lives, and a hundred years later they kept their promise and saved their children. Just when she was still holding the children and crying, Heye came back from outside. Lao Mi next to her was carrying a child from the Demon Spirit Tribe on his back. The child had a strange face and should not have lived in Qingyang City for a long time. , looking thin, small, and very weak.
"This is Kui, the son of the red-eared demon spirit. He will live with us from now on!" Heye said to his wife calmly, leaving no room for discussion.
"What?! You killed..." Lingdang was about to continue, but remembered that he shouldn't mention this in front of Kui, so he took Heyin and went outside the house and said, "You killed his father, even though his father was a heinous person. , but he will definitely hold a grudge."
"I know that if he grows up one day and wants to avenge his father, he can just take my life. Although his father, the red-eared demon spirit, is heinous, the kid Kui is innocent. Besides, he Father entrusted him to me before he died, and I also promised to take care of Kui for him if he could survive. Wouldn't it be unkind and unjust if I broke my promise?!"
Lingdang actually still had a lot of worries in her heart, but she remembered that Xia Qiu and the Demon King Fox Youth had promised to save their child, and they really kept their promise. She could understand why her husband was so insistent, so she sighed and nodded: "Oh well!"
"I knew you were a man of righteousness! Marrying you was indeed the most correct choice I made!" Heye said happily when he saw that his wife finally agreed to his idea.
His words sounded sweet at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Ling Dang quickly realized what she was saying, so she pretended to be angry and shouted: "Besides me, is there any other girl of your age in the Demon Spirit Tribe?!"
Then he went back to the house, asked his children to get off the bed, put on new bedding and asked Lao Mi to put Kui down. Kui's condition is obviously much more serious than her two children, and her consciousness has not yet recovered. While she was cooking for the children, she mixed several herbs with a body-nurturing elixir and gave it to Kui. Seeing the busy figure of her kind wife moved Heye very much.
The Demon Spirit Tribe decided to hold a bonfire event on the high platform with railings on the sixth floor, firstly to celebrate that they were finally freed from the shadow of the Ape Red Demon, secondly to thank the great heroes who liberated them, and thirdly, they It has been discussed that one of the father and son Heyin and Heye will be elected as the new clan leader.
The whole of Qingyang has not had such a happy moment for a long time. The city of Qingyang, which has been shrouded in the shadow of ghosts for hundreds of years, suddenly changed into a different scene. After putting away their weapons, the men took out the pipa that had not been played for a long time from the bottom of the box and readjusted it. The aging wine in Wangzi Palace was also moved out, and the women in the city worked together to make delicious dishes. Xia Qiu also helped them. She hadn't been this relaxed for a long time, and Xiao Shitou and Doudou from the Heye family were surrounding her.
For some reason, they seemed to know that they were rescued by Xia Qiu. After waking up, they were particularly attached to her from the first moment they saw her, to the point where they couldn't leave her.
"They are exactly the same as their father!" Lingdang sighed, shaking her head with a smile.
She was happier than anyone else that her child could recover so quickly. But Kui's condition is still not very good, and it may take quite some time to recover. After feeding him the elixir and some rice soup, his complexion improved a little and he sobered up briefly.
Strangely enough, the first time he saw Lingdang he called her mother. At first Lingdang and Heye both thought it might be because he had been in a coma for too long and couldn't quite understand after suddenly waking up. But soon they discovered that his memory of the past had disappeared with the disappearance of Kiyakure.
Although he could still speak some simple words, his behavior and expression were like that of a baby. Heyin couldn't help but sigh that this might be a kind of happiness for Kui. Only by forgetting the past could he start a better future. And he will form a new family with him, Lingdang, Xiao Shitou and Doudou, and live happily.
Everything is ready on the high platform. The spring night is still a little chilly, but the warm bonfire turns this place into a warm world. All the seats were arranged one by one around the bonfire, leaving a circle of open space under the bonfire for performances. Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng took their seats one after another, followed closely by the members of the Demon Spirit Tribe.
At the beginning, there was a group of pipa playing. Even in the human world, Xia Qiu has never heard such a complex melody. It seems that the demon spirit clan can give magic to simple strings, making them unpredictable in their hands, playing out unconstrained emotions, making the listener's imagination wander, and She was amazed.
Wangyue was completely immersed in the wine and had long forgotten the pain all over her body. Qianqi was still unhappy because of Ouyang Xiaoleng's crazy behavior before, drinking wine alone, while Lingyu stayed with Wangyue.
After the pipa performance ended, Xia Qiu was pulled up by the bell. She danced around the campfire with the women and children of the Demon Spirit Tribe, imitating their dance steps, and couldn't help but forget about her weakness and fatigue. Little Shitou and Doudou also danced beside her, looking very cute. Lingdang put the garlands she and the two children knitted on the heads of Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Others also presented wreaths to Heyin, Heye, Mochizuki, and even the intelligence team and the demon spirit warriors under Heye. Amidst the laughter and laughter, the bonfire party also entered the most important part, which was the selection of the trusted clan leader.
As soon as he heard that everyone recommended one of himself and his father to be the clan leader, Heye felt awkward and didn't know how to refuse.
"The bronze statue of the Saru Red Demon has been destroyed, and his soul has been burned with the incense. From now on, the demon clan will no longer be threatened by Onigakure, and you can live peacefully in Qingyang. I also think that regardless of ability, In terms of age, Heye is the most suitable candidate to serve as the leader of the Demon Spirit Clan. Heyin should have no objections, right?" Although Heye tried his best to shirk it, Ouyang Xiaoleng, who is the Demon King Fox, stood up from his seat at this time. He stood up and spoke.
After hearing this, Heyin stood up and responded: "Of course! I am already old, so let me lead everyone to revive the Demon Spirit Clan. Although I, Heyin, am more than willing, I am not strong enough! My son is different, he is still young, as long as everyone trusts He, he will definitely live up to expectations!"
The other members of the Demon Spirit Tribe also gathered around Heye. They all looked at him with hope while holding the bags in their hands. Heye could only nod in agreement when he saw the kindness.
The bonfire party continued, and the teenagers were all pulled up, including Ouyang Xiaoleng. Although his movements and expressions were stiff, he had to dance and sing with the enthusiastic demon spirits until he was exhausted.
