Living Up to You

Chapter 42

Views:

The demon world was not as chaotic as Qing Kui and Qing Lian had imagined. After sneaking in secretly, they restrained the immortal energy on their bodies, and then caught two little demons on their bodies, so that they would not be easily discovered if they were infected with the evil energy. Along the way, all kinds of little demons, practitioners, troublemakers, and people who turned into human figures to imitate life in the human world, all looked normal, and they didn't look like someone from the demon world was invading.

"Brother, do you know where to find Qingfeng?" After going around for several hours, Qinglian finally couldn't help asking.

Qing Kui coughed twice in embarrassment, "In the past, the demon world also chased a few little demons, and it was over after they were collected. Who would deliberately tease the demon king..."

"Then you still come here in such a hurry..." Qinglian's tone was not blaming, but a little helpless.

Qing Kui said abruptly: "This... I was in a hurry at the time, I didn't think so much."

Qinglian could only blame herself for not seeing through Qingkui's reckless and impulsive nature after all these years, she shook her head and squeezed out a kingfisher, said something to it before letting it flap its wings and leave.

After all, they came to the demon world because they were worried about Qingfeng's safety. If Qingfeng was safe, even if they found the two of them, they probably wouldn't do anything to them.

The two were resting on a tree at this time, sitting on a branch and leaning against the trunk with their backs to their backs.

"Senior Brother, when Qingfeng has been around you for three hundred years, you really never noticed that she treats you so differently?" Qinglian asked seemingly indifferently while waiting for the kingfisher to return.

Qing Kui was taken aback, he didn't know if it was the rosy glow of the setting sun that was just reflected on his face, or his cheeks were reddened by Qing Lian's words, and he stammered: "What, what's the difference... isn't she the same to us, I The same goes for you all."

Qinglian sighed: "Then you think Lingxi is the same as us?"

"Of course it's different!" Qing Kui blurted out, and then felt that such a reaction seemed inappropriate, so he paused, "At that time Lingxi didn't show up, how could it be the same."

Qinglian couldn't help being silent, Qingkui has such a rough nerve, Qingfeng has been chasing after him for three hundred years, but he has never noticed it, and he doesn't know how Lingxi touched his heartstrings and opened his mind.

While contemplating, the big tree the two were leaning against suddenly became restless, and the branches became as flexible as wicker, binding their hands and feet tightly, and at the same time, the big tree let out a shrill and wild laugh.

Oops! She even forgot that in the demon world, everything around her could be the real body of a demon!

The two cried out in secret almost at the same time, and drew their swords to cast spells at the same time.

But this casting of the spell immediately leaked the immortal energy, alarming all the monsters nearby, and they all gathered here.

The setting sun had already set, and in the forest of the demon world in the evening, the yin energy became stronger and the evil energy skyrocketed.

Qingkui and Qinglian saw themselves surrounded by countless evildoers, and were still thinking about how to get out, when they saw the western sky suddenly lit up with lavender light. The place is wrapped, white and purple lights alternate, the sky is white for a while, purple for a while, and dark for a while, cloudy or sunny.

"It's fighting, it's fighting!" The kingfisher came back at this time, chirped a few words, and then disappeared.

"Someone is attacking the princess!" Someone among the monsters yelled loudly, and then the whole monster world boiled up, screaming and rushing towards the west.

For a while, no one cared about Qing Kui and Qing Lian, and the two quickly took the opportunity to perform an invisibility technique, hiding their breath and following behind everyone.

The palace where the demon king lives is not magnificent, but a very inconspicuous cave.

The cave is empty, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance. The night pearl glows faintly, and the cave is full of gloom, flickering.

Qingfeng's white clothes were stained with a little dust, and due to the spell casting, they fluttered like the wings of a white butterfly. She stared angrily at the opposite woman who was also dressed in white, and said with a sneer, "Thinking to take my inner alchemy? Believe it or not, I peeled off your skin that I stole from nowhere!"

In addition to the night pearl, a pool occupies half of the cave, and all kinds of human skins are soaked in the pool, which looks weird and frightening.

The woman in white didn't answer, but only strengthened her hand, the silver light in the cave was so great that the pool on that side almost stirred up waves.

"Jingyan, hurry up, it's getting dark, brother, I'm going to bed." Suddenly a man's lazy voice sounded.

"Brother, this demon king is so hard to deal with!" Jingyan gritted her teeth, "Qingfeng, you died six hundred years ago, and you are still living on the body of a monster, feeding on the skin of a woman. How boring is it?"

Qingfeng was slightly surprised, firstly, she couldn't see the man who spoke just now, secondly, the woman in front of her was a wild soul who had taken up a dead body and still had such great spiritual power, the most important thing She actually recognized herself, knew that her name was Qingfeng and she died six hundred years ago!

"How about brother help you?" the man's voice said again.

"No." Jingyan said stubbornly, "at worst, arrest Qingkui and see if she will give me the inner alchemy!"

Qingfeng's breathing was stagnant, and the purple light suddenly brightened, and she said angrily, "Who are you?"

She even knows that Qing Kui is her biggest Achilles' heel!

Jingyan bent her eyes and smiled, turned around and cleverly avoided Qingfeng's blow, and the palm wind slashed towards the pool on the other side, her lips moved slightly, and the water in the pool was lifted high, like a sea wave, bringing the human skin in the pool to attack Qingfeng .

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, that technique was clearly... the water system technique of Cangjia Mountain.

Just in this daze, the water fell and hit Qingfeng's body into a silvery white light. She was knocked down to the ground and spit out a mouthful of green demon blood.

The corners of Jing Yan's eyes became more and more curved, she clapped her hands and said happily: "Finally I won."

Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and without warning, she turned into a fox and rushed towards Jingyan.

Jingyan obviously didn't expect such a back move, she subconsciously blocked it with her hands for a while, at the same time, the light around her waist was shining, and she pulled a barrier to block the white fox.

Qingfeng turned into a human heart again, wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up, staring at a man and a woman in front of her in surprise.

It's fine if she doesn't know the woman, but this man...

Donghua Shangxian

No, Donghua Shangxian always wears a red dress with a smile on his mouth. He is coquettish and not like a fairy. Although this man looks exactly like him and has an unruly face, his descriptive expression is still very different from him.

"Brother, I told you to change your appearance a long time ago, you see, it really scared the others." Jingyan frowned and said angrily.

"Oh, I'm used to it." The man changed his body with a smile, and changed into a handsome young man.

Qingfeng didn't think about it any more, and wanted to run away when she saw the situation. Before she could escape a few steps, she saw the man standing in front of her, and he didn't allow her to resist, he grabbed her by the throat, "Jingyan, move faster, someone is coming."

His voice was peaceful, but there was a different kind of coldness in Qingfeng's ears, and the eyes that looked at her were so emptiness that people didn't think they were from the six worlds, and there was only a sense of horror. And the hand he held her, with a force so strong that she couldn't resist, made her freeze in place, unable to move.

A trace of cruelty flashed across the eyes of the woman named Jingyan, and she cast a seal to attack her lower abdomen, trying to force out her inner alchemy.

Qingfeng was restrained by two forces, she only felt coldness in her stomach, and hotness again, while the inner alchemy that held her vitality slowly moved upwards, gradually getting out of her control.

She looked at this pair of brothers and sisters with unknown origins and inexplicable treachery, and her mind was chaotic and complicated for a while.

A man who looks exactly like the Immortal of Donghua, a woman who knows Cangjia Mountain and Water System spells and has strong spiritual power...

Qingfeng paused in her heart, and blurted out: "Ling... Lingxi...?"

Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she increased the intensity of her spellcasting.

Qingfeng's face became paler and paler, with surly hatred in her eyes, "Lingxi, it's you, right?"

Yes, it must be her.

A while ago, the demon king suddenly stopped lingering in the human world and returned to the demon world. If Lingxi was still by his side, she would definitely not be able to stand the evil spirit of the devil world. As for Lingxi, I heard that she once called "Brother" to Donghua Shangxian at the Four Immortals Meeting.

She didn't know what happened in Cangjia Mountain, and she didn't know why Lingxi turned into this form and appeared in the demon world. In a flash, all she could think about was Qingkui.

He likes Lingxi so much, does he know that Lingxi has become neither human nor ghost, even dare to kill her demon king? If something happened to Cangjia Mountain, would he also be in danger, and is he still safe now

"Qingkui... Lingxi, can you... let me see Qingkui again?" Qingfeng's phoenix eyes, which are gradually losing their spirit, are filled with bewilderment, and her voice is as low as a mosquito, "Lingxi, just see him one more time... I will... I will give you the inner alchemy..."

Jingyan never answered, her face remained motionless, and her spellcasting strength continued unabated, staring at Qingfeng coldly.

Seeing that the inner alchemy glowing with purple light was about to be spit out from Qingfeng's mouth, Jingyan's hand suddenly felt a pain, the knot loosened, and the inner alchemy slid down again. Seeing someone coming, she pulled away the man in purple who was strangling Qingfeng, and took two steps back.

Ordinary monsters were isolated by the barrier, and it was Qing Kui and Qing Lian who broke in, and the one who just hit Jing Yan's wrist was Qing Lian's heart seal hairpin.

Xin Yinchai had already flown back to Qinglian's hair, she and Qingkui looked at Qingfeng who was powerless and slumped on the ground in amazement, and swept past the man and woman vigilantly.

"Xiaqinling, my younger sister Jingyan." The purple-clothed man reported his name generously, then pointed to the woman beside him with a smile, but looked at Qingkui and Qinglian with deep meaning in his eyes.

Qing Kui and Qing Lian did not hide the hostility on their faces, they raised their swords vigilantly in front of them, and looked carefully at Qing Feng's wounds.

When Qingfeng saw Qingkui, she shed tears.

"Senior brother Qing, Qing Kui..." Qingfeng hadn't recovered yet, his voice was still weak, and cried, "I never thought...you would appear here."

"We're here to save you." Qing Kui frowned and looked back at Qing Lian.

Qingfeng's tears fell into Qing Kui's arms like a broken thread. Qing Kui's body froze, but it was difficult to push her away.

"Senior brother Qingkui, I thought you would never recognize me as a little junior sister again..." Qingfeng's mouth still had green demon blood, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, "You... can you hug me again?"

Although she was in his arms now, Qing Kui just supported her stiffly. Seeing Qingfeng's face covered in tears and his frail appearance, Qingkui couldn't bear to refuse, so he folded his arms.

Qingfeng cried even harder, "Brother Qingkui, you know, I have been waiting for this moment for six hundred years."

Six hundred years ago, he was the one who found her at the mass grave, and told her that the little girl was not allowed to cry, and that if she survived a catastrophe, there would be a future.

Six hundred years ago, he was the one who took her to Cangjia Mountain, called her little junior sister every day, made her laugh when he saw her cry, and patiently taught her spells that she didn't know.

Six hundred years ago, he was the one who made fun of that if she didn't quickly cultivate the immortal body, she would become an old girl and it would be unattractive, so she worked hard day and night to keep her eighteen-year-old appearance.

Three hundred years of being together day and night, unknowingly, attachment, love, and infatuation.

She thought he treated her differently after all.

But she has to admit that he treats other members of the same family as well, and he can ignore her existence with a pot of good wine. She hopes to find the color that a man should have when facing the person he likes from his eyes, but it still fails.

When she was still human, her mother once told her that men are the most beautiful.

She took it for granted.

She took selfies in the mirror countless times to find out all kinds of flaws on her face.

She thought that if she had the most outstanding face in the world, the way he looked at her would be different.

So she couldn't help the temptation, and started to steal the beauty's skin. After swallowing it, the skin was as thin as fat, and the facial features became more delicate.

Unexpectedly, the Dongchuang incident happened...

"Senior Brother Qingkui..." Qingfeng's face was full of tears, like peach blossoms in the rain, "Last time I wanted to lie in your arms like this, so that... I will die without regret."

She doesn't have much extravagance, she just wants to be like an ordinary lover, hug him, lie down in his arms, even just once is enough.

But even if she died by his sword, he just held her hand in panic and said, "I'm sorry, little junior sister, you shouldn't fall into the devil's way."

At that time, she no longer had the strength to lean into his arms, nor did she have the strength to beg him to hold her in his arms. So she is not reconciled, she can't give up this life and re-enter reincarnation safely, he said she shouldn't enter the way of demons, so she will enter the way of demons.

One day, she will wait for him to take a look at her and feel the warmth in his arms that she has been waiting for for hundreds of years.

See, as it is now, she waited.

The corners of Qingfeng's lips rose slightly, and she smiled, a gentle and comfortable smile.

"Qingfeng, what are you doing?" Qing Kui saw that Qingfeng's inner alchemy was gradually moving up from her abdomen, and hurriedly gave her some immortal energy.

The inner alchemy was still upwards, spit out from her mouth, floating in the air, emitting faint purple light.

"Senior brother Qingkui, I know that I have done many wrong things these years." Qingfeng's complexion was as paper, dripping with sweat, "I killed so many women... Look, there are countless women's skins and bones in my cave. "

Qing Kui closed his eyes, he didn't want to see the cave that belonged to the demon king, nor did he want to see Qing Feng's Xiaosuo's face.

"I deserve to die a long time ago..." Qingfeng let out a breath, "I do so many things, I just want you to look at me more, and I want to lie in your arms like this one day..."

Tears came out of Qingfeng's eyes again, they were shiny and clean, she grabbed Qing Kui's arm, choked up and asked: "Senior Brother Qing Kui, have you... have you ever liked me even a little bit, a little bit? No, it's not liking, it's love... have you ever... loved me a little bit, even a little bit?"

Qingfeng's body has become lighter and lighter, looking at Qingkui eagerly and expectantly.

Qing Kui's fingertips were cold, his hands trembled slightly, he was speechless, and did not dare to look Qing Feng in the eye.

Qingfeng closed her eyes knowingly, her clothes were wet with tears, "Where's Ling... Where's Lingxi?"

Qing Kui's body shook slightly, and his eyes turned red.

"Where's Lingxi?"

Whether Qingfeng wanted to ask where Lingxi was, or whether Qingkui had ever loved Lingxi, is unknown. For Qing Kui, his understanding is the former, so after a little silence, he whispered: "She...is no longer alive."

This is the first time Qing Kui has faced Ling Xi's death directly.

He didn't believe it before, the whole Cangjia Mountain was alive, how could she die

But he went to the devil world to look for it, he went to the underworld to look for it, and he couldn't find any trace of Lingxi in the sky and the earth.

He watched her soul being driven out of her body, to pieces. He couldn't protect her body and let her be robbed. He even lost the silver mirror that held the fragment of her soul.

Lingxi is no longer alive.

Qing Kui's eyes were blurred, as if his soul had been taken away in an instant.

Qingfeng slowly opened her eyes, looked in the direction of Jingyan, her complexion turned bright red due to the sudden rapid breathing, and said intermittently: "Qing, Senior Brother Qingkui...she...she is..."

She tried her best to raise her arm to point to Jingyan, but when she saw the tears in Qing Kui's eyes, another tear fell from the corner of her eyes inexplicably.

How I wish the tears flowed for her.

Before she could finish speaking, Jingyan, who had been standing quietly on one side, suddenly turned over and quickly grabbed Qingfeng's inner alchemy into her palm.

Qinglian was distracted by Qingfeng, her eye circles were still red, before she could react, Jingyan had already disappeared with the inner alchemy. But the man who called himself Qin Ling moved faster, and almost never saw him leave.

Qingfeng's eyes were still fixed on Qingkui's face, her arms suddenly dropped, and her body turned into a white fox.

The barrier outside disappeared, and a large number of monsters instantly surrounded the cave, all howling in pain.

The sky in the demon world is starless and moonless tonight. Two figures suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and the woman smiled coquettishly, "It's still my brother's invisibility skills that are great."

"I will teach you next time."

"Keep your word!"

"Why don't you admit that you are Lingxi?"

"Didn't brother say that my name is Jingyan?"

"Where do you go next?"

"Well... that little Pluto in the underworld is so troublesome, let's go to the fairyland first!"
