Luluo was so uneasy that she couldn't even operate the loom. She sat blankly in front of the window, looking out from time to time through the slightly opened gap in the window. Although she didn't know why Hyacinth would go against her father's wishes for those boys from another world, she believed in him and what he did was definitely not wrong. But at the same time, she was struggling. The years of being imprisoned made her more afraid of her father than anyone else. She couldn't imagine what kind of punishment he would give Hyacinth? Just pray silently in your heart.
For her, who has been imprisoned in a high tower since she was ignorant, hyacinth is her only happiness and hope, and it is also the reason why she can still live in this lonely and empty world. She couldn't imagine what she would do without his company. Even though they were just a pair of lovers who couldn't touch each other, they had become each other's spiritual support.
Perhaps the person who understands her love best is Xia Qiu. She holds Hyacinth's relics in both hands, and her mood becomes heavier every time she takes a step towards the tower where Green Hyacinth is imprisoned. She couldn't help but imagine how painful her heart would be if fate took Ouyang Xiaoleng away from her, so she couldn't help but look at him. He must be sad too. Although on the surface he still looked calm, there was something on his face. Not as cold as usual, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be covered with fog, without sharp edges.
Qianqi's grief was obvious. He looked depressed along the way. The already dark tones in the underworld became heavier at this time. A gust of wind blew by, raising dust from the ground. His eyes that were blurred by the sand were very uncomfortable. , which made him even more tempted to cry.
When their figures appeared under the tower, Lu Luo's eyes suddenly lit up. She tried hard to find her lover's figure beside them, over and over again, until the light of hope in her eyes gradually dimmed. She also knew in her heart that he must be in bad luck if he didn't come back with her, but she still didn't want to believe this fact, even when she saw the flute that originally belonged to Hyacinth in Xia Qiu's hand.
At this moment, apart from the heartbreaking pain, her mind went blank and her body felt like it had been completely hollowed out. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word, she could only shout "Ah". She desperately stretched out her hands from the window and leaned out, and then suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell from the tower.
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi flew over, trying to catch her as she continued to fall, but it was obviously too late. Xia Qiu was frightened by this scene, her pupils suddenly widened, and she screamed Luluo's name with a heart-breaking voice.
"Pothos..."
At this moment, a huge blue butterfly rushed out of nowhere and attached itself to Luo Luo's body to become her wings. As the wings flapped vigorously again and again, her falling speed began to slow down, and finally she landed lightly on the ground like a feather. As she landed safely, the butterfly leaned next to her as if it had exhausted all its strength, motionless.
Xia Qiu reacted and ran in the direction of Luluo, checking her condition with Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi. When they found that she was safe and sound, with no injuries on her body, they breathed a sigh of relief. Then they turned their attention to the blue butterfly next to them. They never thought that it would shrink rapidly before their eyes, and finally became as small as an ordinary butterfly. After a short rest, it could flutter its wings and fly slowly around the pothos.
The appearance of the butterfly reminded Xia Qiu of the colorful crystal stone that Hyacinth asked her to give to Luo Luo. She lowered her head and looked at the stone in her hand. The blue butterfly that should have been in the stone had disappeared. She seemed to understand everything at once and blurted out: "Look, the butterfly in the stone flew out and saved the pothos. It must be part of the hyacinth's soul, right? Otherwise, how could it keep its will?"
She thought that the most important person to Hyacinth was Luo Luo. He must want to stay with her forever in this way. Hyacinth must be very happy at this moment. He has lost the body that restrained him, but because of this he can be so close to his beloved. Maybe for him this is the real happiness.
Lu Luo sat up and stretched out her hand, letting the blue butterfly land peacefully on her palm and fold its wings. Light bloomed in her eyes again, she opened her red lips lightly, and she who could not speak actually spoke fluently: "I don't know why my... Oh, no, it's the butterfly whose soul has resided in the colored crystal stone. On my body." As she spoke, she raised her palm, looked at the butterfly in her hand, and continued, "He will stay with me in this attitude from now on. His soul seems to be connected with mine. He taught me how to speak! He told me that you are looking for the Earth Talisman, and he is worried that my father will not easily abide by the agreement and hand over the Earth Talisman to you. Indeed, my father is a person who likes to go back on his word!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng who was on the side asked after hearing this: "Can you help us?"
"I know where the Earth Talisman is. When you were in Yanluo Demon Palace, did you pay attention to my father's throne? As far as I know, the Earth Talisman is hidden in a mechanism behind the throne! Although it was there before I can remember. I am locked up in this tower without any contact with anyone, but I can occasionally see what my father sees in his eyes or what he thinks in his mind."
Luluo's expression was a little complicated. This was the first time she had shown her abnormality to others. In fact, most of the emotions she received from her father were his resentment towards her mother, Flower Girl, but at the same time, she also felt his father's vague love for her. He wanted to keep her by his side and protect her, but he chose the wrong method. He mistakenly thought that restricting all her freedom was the perfect solution. From her father's memory, she had seen her mother many times. She was so similar to her, which may be one of the reasons why her father loved and hated her at the same time.
"We have completed everything we agreed with your father, but we still can't get the Earth Talisman?!" The sadness in Ouyang Xiaoleng's heart was instantly replaced by anger. If this is the case, then Hyacinth's sacrifice is not worth it. .
"I can't answer this question now. My father is really elusive. Maybe even he himself can't be sure of his thoughts in the next second! However, I will go with you to see him. This is what Hyacinth hopes. I did it." Green Luo looked at the blue butterfly in her hand affectionately, and the butterfly flapped its wings, as if in response to her gaze.
"By the way, Hyacinth asked me to give these to you!"
Only then did Xia Qiu remember the flute in her hand and the colored crystal stone belonging to Hyacinth, so she handed them to Luluo's hand.
Lu Luo nodded, and gently raised the hand with the butterfly on it, and it flew up, still surrounding her. She fastened the flute to the belt around her waist, then put the stone into her pocket, turned to Xia Qiu and the others and said, "Let's go!"
She followed several teenagers to the Yanluo Demon Palace. This was the first time she had walked such a long distance on her own feet, and it was also the first time she had faced her father. She could not guess that he would see him. She didn't know what kind of expression she would show, and she couldn't even imagine how she should say her first words to him. She felt both hope and fear in her heart.
There were more black evil spirits and white evil spirits gathered in Yanluo Demon Palace than before, and there was a sense of pressure that was about to break out. Demon King Yanluo sat high on his throne, holding his chin with one hand and flicking the other hand on the armrest in boredom. There was no discernible expression on his face hidden behind the golden scale mask.
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi walked in front, followed closely by Xia Qiu and Lu Luo. Black Sha and Bai Sha, who had been noisy before, suddenly became quiet with their appearance. Most of their eyes were on Luluo. When Demon King Yanluo raised his head and saw her, his body trembled.
Time seemed to turn back to when she was just born, when his wife Hua Nv was still by his side, and the three of them were so happy and warm together, sharing the happiness of a family. Although he knew in his heart that his wife still could not stop yearning for the outside world, but for a short period of time she was at ease. Holding the pothos in her arms every day, she dyed everything around her into a picture full of spring.
He suddenly recalled that he once had a name called Lan, which was the name that was only called by his beloved wife for the last time. Her gentle voice sounded like a bird singing at night, and it shocked his heart every time she called him. Open your heart.
But she still left him, which brought his happiness to an abrupt end and made his feelings for Pothos complicated. He didn't want to see their daughter again, because it was she who always reminded him of the beauty of his wife's life, and he was heartbroken because of it, so he must forget it! He resisted Lu Luo from the bottom of his heart and locked her in the tower. Over the years, he couldn't remember how many times he couldn't help but want to see her, but he stopped this desire. This desire is equivalent to Gelsemium for him. It tastes sweet when held in his mouth, but his heart is broken when he swallows it.
Today, she was standing in front of him, tall and graceful, with a dark green robe, a beautiful face, long black hair covered with red mantras, and innocent eyes that were exactly the same as those of a flower girl. He thought that when he saw her again, he would be so angry that he could not control himself, and he might even kill her ruthlessly. But the truth was exactly the opposite. The once soft part in his heart was awakened by her again. Although she looked the same as the flower girl, her expression had the shadow of his own youth. She was evidence that he and the flower girl had loved each other. This The love between flesh and blood is destined to be an everlasting bond.
Seeing that he had been deep in thought for a long time, Ouyang Xiaoleng stepped forward and said, "Demon King Yanluo, we have fulfilled our agreement with you!"
This sentence brought Demon King Yanluo back from his endless thoughts, and he returned to his moody tone: "Oh, really? So what?"
Although Ouyang Xiaoleng was a little uneasy, he still pretended to be calm: "So please give us the Earth Talisman as promised before."
"Haha." Demon King Yanluo just sneered and was not in a hurry to refute. His performance was somewhat beyond Ouyang Xiaoleng's expectations. For a moment, his heart was shaken because of the pothos. But after a moment's thought, he fell into entanglement and continued: "As the master of the underworld, if I let you take away the earth talisman from me so easily, how can I save my face?!"
"Is it easy?!" Before Ouyang Xiaoleng could answer, Luluo stepped forward without any fear and faced her father directly. "These young people from another world are willing to come to this void in order to save their own world." The Kingdom of Huangquan fulfilled the agreement with you with amazing courage and perseverance, and Hyacinth also died outside Lingqian Palace to help them. Isn’t that enough for you to fulfill the vow you made?!"
Demon King Yanluo shrugged and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Hyacinth... It's only his fault that he helped these outsiders in the end. This was his own choice!"
"No one is important to you, right? Even me, your only daughter, was imprisoned in the tower by your personal order. In countless years, you have never visited me, nor have you missed me. Hyacinth may be just an insignificant pawn to you, but to me, it is the only warmth in these years of hopeless life, the only remaining color and hope in my life, and it is only because of your so-called inability For breaking the rules, he died like this, his body dissipated, and only the soul of this butterfly was left to accompany me."
Tears oozed from Luluo's eyes, revealing her complaints against her father. Her tears seemed to be a catalyst, completely shattering the last bit of stubbornness of Demon King Yanluo.
He could no longer control his emotions. He stood up abruptly from the throne, took three steps at a time, and walked impatiently to his daughter. For the first time in many years, he finally took a close look at her. This sight made him so impulsive that he couldn't help but spread his arms and hug her tightly.
