"I know, mother, don't worry. You have to be careful too. People's hearts are unpredictable. If he can threaten my relatives, what else can he not do? You must wake up to the current situation. Before things are clear, he is only the Nine Nether Demon Lord, not my father. Mother, do you understand this principle?" Emperor Junyu knew the relationship between his mother and the man. If the opponent was someone else, Emperor Junyu would not be worried at all, but it happened to be Emperor Shitian.
"Don't worry, Yu'er." The person she cared about and loved was Emperor Shi Tian, but definitely not the current Emperor Shi Tian. She could still tell the difference. "By the way, mother has some treasures for self-defense and life-saving. They are all in this Qiankun bag. Take them for emergencies."
Emperor Junyu wanted to refuse, but Ling'er continued, "Don't worry about mother. I still have these things. Just take them. With these treasures, mother will feel more at ease." After all, he is her child. Even if he is very capable, she will still worry about him, not to mention that he has to take risks for her.
"Mother, I'll be leaving first. The longer these things are delayed, the more troublesome it will be. We have to act quickly." Otherwise, by the time Emperor Shi Tian reacts and prepares a complete response plan, their situation will become even more passive.
Ling'er nodded and said earnestly, "Go ahead and be careful."
Emperor Junyu didn't say anything, just looked at Ling'er deeply, and then disappeared into the house.
Ling'er stared out the window blankly, with an indescribable feeling in her heart. "I hope this can end soon."
She felt the warmth on her face, "Xiao Huihui, you're back." After arriving in the Demon Realm, Xiao Huihui suddenly disappeared, and she thought she would never see him again.
Reaching out and touching its warm head, "Zi Xi said you are just an ordinary dog, not spiritual, and don't understand human language. But I think you can understand me. Look, you have found me, our little Huihui is really a smart dog." Grabbing it from his shoulders and holding it up with both hands, he rubbed its head against his forehead. Ling'er didn't notice that a ray of silver light passed into her forehead at that moment.
Before dawn the next day, Ling'er received a message from Yu'er, saying that he had successfully found the Ling family and had sent a message to Yunhai City, asking them to come to pick them up. After reading this message, Ling'er was in a good mood.
Since things outside were going so smoothly, she had to take action as well.
Before the smile on her face faded, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Ling'er immediately put the message into her personal space. Looking back, "Tiantian?" Yes, the person who came was Emperor Shitian.
"I heard from the servants that you have locked yourself in your room for a day and a night, and you didn't eat dinner or lunch yesterday. I came to see if you are feeling unwell."
"Oh, I'm fine. I just ate too much cake and didn't eat. I was a little tired from traveling in the carriage these days, so I went to bed early."
"That's good." Di Shitian smiled and stepped forward, trying to hold Ling'er's hand. Ling'er subconsciously stepped back, avoiding his touch.
Di Shitian's hands froze in place, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. "Little thing, you seem to be a little distant from me recently. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy? We are about to get married and become a legitimate couple. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly. You know, I have always been willing to meet your requests."
"Then I want to postpone the wedding..."
"No!" Ling'er was interrupted by Di Shitian before she could finish her words. His tone was firm and stern, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible anger. "Little thing, what's wrong with you recently? We decided on the wedding a long time ago, and now everyone in the Demon Realm knows about our marriage. But why do you make such a request?"
"I just got back from a life-threatening situation. I want to live with my mother and grandfather for a while before getting married."
"After your wedding, you can return home in three days. You can stay as long as you want. I won't have any objection. Even if you want to stay at the Ling family forever, I will leave the Demon Realm to Yu'er to accompany you. Or you can move the entire Ling family to the Demon Realm. As long as you are happy, anything is fine. I can understand your feelings of missing your family, and I am willing to find a way to solve it, but postponing the wedding is absolutely not an option."
"Why!" Ling'er was also a little excited. She said this loudly with a questioning tone.
"I have also made arrangements for your missing family, so why did you postpone it? Haven't I waited long enough?" Emperor Shitian tried his best to suppress his anger. The last sentence seemed to speak out his true feelings. The sadness in his eyes was not fake. Ling'er could see that he was really sad at the moment...
Ling'er couldn't bear to look at this familiar face. She moved her feet and wanted to go forward and comfort the man in front of her. At this moment, when no one was paying attention, the fox on Ling'er's waist suddenly gave birth to three phantoms, and then disappeared. Ling'er woke up instantly and turned to the side.
He is not Emperor Shi Tian, no!
Fortunately, Feng Yinyin gave her the lucky bag, otherwise she would really be confused by the face in front of her.
"Since you don't agree, you can go out. It's not appropriate for newlyweds to meet before the wedding." Ling'er turned her back to Di Shitian, with a complicated expression on her face. At present, she has not found evidence that Di Shitian is not himself. It would be inappropriate to treat him lightly or heavily, so it is better not to meet him.
"Well, actually, I have one more thing to tell you on this trip. It's about your mother."
When she heard that it was related to Lingxi, Ling'er turned around immediately, but at the moment she turned around, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and then her body became weak and fell into Di Shitian's arms.
What the hell had he done to her
Although she was completely powerless at the moment, her mind was still clear. Could it be that strange fragrance from before? Could it be poison
"What do you want to do?" Ling'er glared at Di Shitian angrily. She wanted to break free from him, but she was really powerless.
Emperor Shitian leaned his head on Ling'er's head, gently comforting her, as if trying to calm her panic at the moment. "Don't be afraid, little thing, I won't hurt you. It's just that I've waited too long, so every time I see you, I can't suppress the urge to get close to you. Why aren't you being obedient? Why are you so smart? If you like him, I'll become him, but why don't you want me? Why?"
"Who are you?" So he really wasn't Emperor Shi Tian. But she checked and it wasn't a disguise or an illusion. What on earth was going on
"My name is Xihe."
Xihe? Xihe! Xihe! This name echoed in her mind again and again, like a key to open the door of memories. Some fragments that seemed extremely unfamiliar to her appeared in her mind one by one. No, this name and these images seemed to have been seen somewhere by her, but they were incomplete.
That’s right, it’s the temple! This is the bloody love story about the gods that I saw while meditating in the temple that day. Xihe is the god who accidentally killed the little girl in the story!
Could it be! A very bad thought appeared in his mind. Could it be that by coincidence, he was the reincarnation of that little girl
"You should have remembered that before you entered the reincarnation cycle, I used my ribs to turn into a pen and wrote my name into your mind. As long as I tell you my name in person, your memory will be unlocked. I didn't intend to tell you this. Since you like this mortal, I don't mind becoming him. As long as I can work with you, I can give up myself. But you are still so smart. Even though I am an embedded soul, you still noticed something. Little thing, I am still him, and I haven't changed in essence. It's just that at the moment of his death, I borrowed his body."
"You said... what?" Die? What does he mean by that? What does he mean by die? How can Emperor Shi Tian die
"He used the oracle to ascend to the divine realm, and died after overcoming the calamity. This is a common occurrence. After telling you this, you will definitely think that I harmed him, but you can rest assured that with my status, I will not resort to such dirty tricks. Moreover, if he had any grievances, my spirit would not be able to merge with his body, so his death has nothing to do with me. I have never bothered to explain to others, and I am only talking to you because it is you. You must know that in this world, except for you, no one can shake me in the slightest."
"The God is of noble status, so he naturally disdains the methods of villains. If that's the case, why did he do this?" Although she had recalled some of her memories about Xihe, she had already reincarnated, and seeing her again was like seeing a stranger, and there was no longer that kind of intimacy. Ling'er didn't want to recall the past. She just wanted to live in the present, grasp the future, and be with Di Shitian.
Even though Xihe said he was dead, she still didn't believe it because she didn't see it with her own eyes. She didn't believe that Emperor Shitian would just abandon her and Yu'er. The most urgent thing was to get the blind man out of trouble, and the rest needed to be verified. She didn't have time to grieve, because the situation didn't allow it, she could only forge ahead.
"Don't worry, I don't want to do anything to you, it's just that you are too naughty, so I want you to have a good sleep, and when you wake up, you will forget everything now. I will take you to a paradise, where there will be only you and me, without worries, until the end of time." He said in his own voice while patting Ling'er gently.
Ling'er wanted to struggle and refuse, but she had no strength at all. She could hardly even lift her eyelids.
"I don't...can't...forget..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ling'er fell asleep.
Looking at the person who had closed her eyes and was quiet, Xihe smiled. He gently hugged the person in his arms and murmured to himself: "You are my rib, a part of me, no one can take you away." His eyes were crazy, as if he was in a state of demonic possession. He raised his hand and tapped his forehead with his finger. A drop of blood appeared on his fingertips, then dripped onto the corner of Ling'er's mouth, and slowly seeped into her mouth along with her mouth.
"Have a good sleep. When you wake up, I will still be your whole world, and no one else will. Let everything return to the beginning, because that is how it was originally." After saying that, Xihe disappeared on the spot while holding Ling'er.
When Xihe appeared just now, Xiao Huihui hid himself and waited until they disappeared from the spot before coming out from the corner. With a pair of eyes like fire, he walked to the place where Ling'er disappeared, sniffed, and then turned into a point of light and disappeared...
On the other side, after Emperor Yu found the Ling family, he led them to escape. The guards had not received the order from their master, so they did not dare to stop them too much, fearing that they would hurt the relatives of their future Demon Queen. Therefore, it was not particularly difficult for them to escape. It was just more troublesome to get rid of the pursuers behind them.
"I know a place. The terrain there is easy to defend but difficult to attack. And according to the villagers, there are two exits, but the other exit is more hidden. We can retreat there first to hide, and then wait for an opportunity to find an exit to leave. What do you think?" Jun Liufeng said while looking around.
"How do you know?" Emperor Junyu asked.
"Your mother told me by chance. You also know that your mother likes to travel, so she is very knowledgeable about these things."
"Given the current situation, this is a good idea." The speaker was Lingxi, "What do you think, father?" Lingxi turned to look at Linglong. Linglong didn't say anything, but just nodded.
Although Emperor Yu did not clearly explain Ling'er's current situation to them, it was not difficult to guess a little. If she and the boy Demon Lord were fine, why would Yu'er be so upset? There must be something wrong between them.
Thinking of this, Linglong felt upset. He was worried about the pursuers behind him and Ling'er's safety. He was in a very irritable mood. He wanted to ask his great-grandson, but he was worried that he would be sad. He was really in a dilemma. So he could only hold it in all the way, and he almost got sick.
"Then I'll lead the way." Jun Liufeng ran to the front after he finished speaking, and the others immediately followed. After passing through a village path, they ran into a mountain forest.
The mountains were full of strange rocks, and many large plants were more than a hundred years old. They were wary of the pursuers along the way, so they didn't have time to take a close look at the surrounding scenery. Soon, they arrived at the cave mentioned by Jun Liufeng.
“We’re finally here.”
"This place looks really good. The terrain is high and has great advantages. It will be very beneficial for us whether it is to avoid defense or set up formations. If we can find another exit, we can disappear without anyone noticing and meet up with the people from Yunhai City outside the city." Lingxi felt very satisfied looking at the scene in front of him.
Linglong was still upset at the moment and had no intention of observing carefully. He just followed whatever his daughter said, and the group hid in the cave.
After entering, they rested for a while and then started to look for the exit separately. Lingxi and Linglong went together, Dijunyu and Junliufeng went together, and the others went together. However, they didn't know that this separation would make them face a bigger problem.
Not long after they separated, the fog filled the air. Even with a torch, they still couldn't see far. Suddenly, there was a wave in the air, and then the torch went out.
"Little sister?" After the torch went out, Linglong could no longer sense Lingxi's presence.
On the other side, Lingxi was also calling out anxiously: "Father! Father! Where are you? Can you hear me?" Lingxi turned around anxiously, stretching out his hands to feel around, but there was nothing around except air. They also realized that there was something strange about this place. Even if they were separated because of the line of sight, it was impossible that they could not hear any sound.
The other two groups of people encountered the same situation.
Emperor Yu calmly took out a drop in the ocean from his space ring. This was the most precious and largest night-shining pearl in the world. It was brighter than other night-shining pearls and could also dispel haze.
The moment a drop in the ocean was taken out, the surrounding space was immediately illuminated.
The first thing that came into view was a cliff. Looking down from above, there was actually rolling black water below. Emperor Yu took out a weapon from the space at random and threw it down. Just when the weapon was still three meters above the lake surface, a group of palm-sized fish jumped up with big mouths. In just a moment, the weapon was disassembled and eaten, leaving no residue.
If he had not lit the lamp just now and had accidentally fallen in, the one lying in the fish's belly now would probably be him.
Although the small fish quickly sank back into the water after eating, he still caught a glimpse of their shapes.
Could that be the legendary piranha that lives in the black river of hell!
