After a long while, Qu Weiyin gradually stopped sobbing, her body gradually calmed down, and her breathing became regular.
Luo Jinxiao reached out his hand and gently stroked her face, wiping away the remaining tears. The woman was sleeping so soundly that she did not wake up even after all the tossing and turning.
Luo Jinxiao laid Qu Weiyin flat on the bed and looked at her quietly, his brows furrowed and his eyes solemn.
How did Qu Weiyin spend the past three years? Why does it seem now that she is not living a good life
There is no distinction between day and night in the demon world, so Qu Weiyin slept for a very long time before slowly opening his eyes.
When she woke up, Luo Jinxiao was still standing by her bed, braiding his hair out of boredom.
"You're awake." She noticed the movement and stood up suddenly.
Qu Weiyin glanced at her suspiciously, propped himself up lazily, and hummed with a nasal sound.
Luo Jinxiao brought her a cup of tea, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Demon Lord, did you also come this way before?"
"You mean nightmare?" Qu Weiyin looked up at her, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and warned, "Don't tell anyone about this, or you'll risk your life."
Then he looked at the teacup in his hand and said, "I can't remember anything about the past."
When she said this, her tone was low, and Luo Jinxiao's heart also fell to the bottom.
Qu Weiyin put down the teacup, stood up again, returned to his indifference, and walked out the door. When he opened the door, he suddenly said, "You just wait here, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Also, if you don't want to die, don't touch the sword."
She didn't stop, and the corner of her clothes disappeared through the crack in the door.
There was a thud sound outside. It turned out that when Qu Weiyin went out, she bumped into Qingyi who was pinned there by Luo Jinxiao last night. Now, she was knocked down by Qu Weiyin and fell to the ground.
Qu Weiyin was startled and looked down, then kicked her hanging wrist with her foot and looked back at Luo Jinxiao who was standing there in a daze.
Luo Jinxiao hurriedly looked up at the sky.
After a while, the footsteps gradually faded away, and Luo Jinxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She ran to the door and found that Qu Weiyin didn't care about Qingyi at all. She was still lying there.
Luo Jinxiao felt a surge of joy in his heart, and then he strode past her.
She wanted to know where Qu Weiyin was going now.
There were very few people in the Demon Palace. Qu Weiyin's fiery figure flashed several times and quickly walked around the winding corridor and passed through a secret door. In front of her was a staircase leading deep underground.
Before she entered the secret door, she deliberately tried to see if anyone was following her, but Luo Jinxiao was protected by divine power and was not discovered by her.
After making sure that everything was safe, Qu Weiyin walked down the stairs. The torches around them flickered, and the shadows of people also rose and fell. Luo Jinxiao didn't dare to follow too closely and could only wait for Qu Weiyin to walk up the stairs first.
She became more and more confused. Why did Qu Weiyin come here alone
The terrain gradually flattened at the end of the stairs, and Luo Jinxiao discovered that this place was actually used to imprison mortals. There was a row of black iron windows around it, and there were many people inside, some dressed well, some in tattered clothes.
Some windows were empty, others were crowded.
The one guarding the gate was a tall and strong demon. The armor seemed a little small on him. Half of his face was filled with demonic aura, and the other half was that of a thin young man.
He lowered his head and said something to Qu Weiyin, then nodded and staggered to open the black iron cages one by one.
Only the deepest room remained untouched.
There was a sudden clanging sound from the cage, followed by a woman's angry curse: "Qu Weiyin, you let me go, what do you mean by this, how long are you going to keep me locked up!"
Luo Jinxiao tilted his head to look towards the direction where the voice came from. A fair face and an arrogant and domineering tone, who else could it be but Tang Lan'er.
But looking at her full of energy, I guess she was just locked up.
Qu Weiyin glanced at her calmly, then turned back to the demon and said, "Take these people out secretly. I am not happy with the one inside, so keep him locked up."
"Qu Weiyin! Come back! Come back!"
Amid Tang Lan'er's angry shouts, the big demon disappeared with the unconscious people. The prison was suddenly empty. Qu Weiyin then lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs as if she was ignoring everything.
Seeing this, Luo Jinxiao hurriedly covered his face and disappeared on the spot.
Qu Weiyin just now should have secretly ordered people to bring the imprisoned mortal out of the demon world.
Luo Jinxiao felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. If this was the case, it proved that Qu Weiyin was not really as bloodthirsty as the rumors said, and she was saving people in secret.
But why did she say just now that she had forgotten everything? Luo Jinxiao looked at the closed bedroom door and pondered.
After a while, the door opened and Qu Weiyin walked back in. She didn't seem to be suspicious of Luo Jinxiao. She strode into the inner room, took off her coat and hung it on a screen.
Luo Jinxiao stood aside with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, pretending that he had always been there.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Yu Gui's voice appeared outside the door: "Master Demon, I have something important to report."
"Come in." Qu Weiyin said.
Yu Gui’s pale hand appeared at the door, and then he walked in slowly in a black robe. His face was transparent and pale, as if he had stood in the snow all night, and his eyelashes and pupils were all gray.
He was still androgynous and as thin as a stick. He walked to Qu Weiyin and grinned, "Demon Lord, I have already given you the order. But now, there are a few people who are determined not to obey. We..."
"Kill him." Qu Weiyin did not hesitate. She played with a silver ring on her finger without even looking at Yu Gui.
Yu Gui showed a look of both joy and worry on his face, and whispered, "This... I obey your command."
He looked at Qu Weiyin with his light-colored eyes, his gaze was sticky, and Luo Jinxiao suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent in his heart.
The murderous intent seemed to be more intense, and before they could conceal it, Yu Gui and Qu Weiyin looked up at the same time. However, when they looked over, Luo Jinxiao had already stood still with his eyes lowered.
"Demon Lord, is this your new maid?" Yu Gui said as he walked towards Luo Jinxiao.
Qu Weiyin hummed, then suddenly raised her voice: "You should go out, I have something else to do."
Yu Gui's footsteps suddenly stopped. He hesitated, did not disobey, and slowly retreated.
"My Lord Demon, do you still remember our agreement?" he said suddenly.
"Of course, let the immortal world that bullies us pay the price." A sharp cold light flashed in Qu Weiyin's eyes.
Luo Jinxiao frowned slightly when he heard this.
Yu Gui nodded, then smiled, backed out of the door, and before leaving, he did not forget to stare at Luo Jinxiao.
The room returned to silence. Qu Weiyin was not sure what she was thinking. She looked towards the bloody sky outside the window. There were no birds, no clouds, and no wind in the sky. Everything was terrifyingly quiet.
The demon world is like a place of exile abandoned by the hustle and bustle, and it never changes.
"I don't want to drink tea anymore. Please drink with me." Qu Weiyin said suddenly as she watched. She tapped the teapot with her slender fingertips, and a pot of rich and mellow wine appeared in the teapot.
Just as Luo Jinxiao was about to step forward to dissuade her, Qu Weiyin had already poured a glass of wine into her mouth. Her sandalwood lips were wet with water, sparkling under the light.
"Come and have a drink with me." Qu Weiyin's voice was hoarse and charming. She suddenly walked forward, pulled Luo Jinxiao over, and stuffed a cup into her hand.
Luo Jinxiao was helpless, but didn't want to spoil the fun, so he took a sip carefully.
Qu Weiyin looked at her, and suddenly spun the cup around, covering the place where Luo Jinxiao had drunk with her red lips, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
A surge of blood suddenly rushed into Luo Jinxiao's head, and she started coughing suddenly, her face turning red.
What does Qu Weiyin mean by this
"It's not enough to drink just this little. The wine in this mortal world is delicious." Qu Weiyin sneered. She drank several glasses in a row, but there was no sign of drunkenness on her face.
"Drink less." Luo Jinxiao subconsciously wanted to snatch the wine glass from her hand, but Qu Weiyin dodged him abruptly. She suddenly raised her arms and looked at her seductively.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned.
Qu Weiyin placed her five fingers on Luo Jinxiao's chest and slowly pushed her back to the window.
The red dress she was wearing was layered and spread on the ground like a blooming hibiscus flower. Luo Jinxiao suddenly met her eyes. The other's light red eyes were like poppies, full of murderous intent.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly shuddered. This scene was too familiar, as if it overlapped with certain scenes in his memory.
She recalled the illusion she had when she first went to heaven. The scene at this moment was exactly the same as that time.
While Luo Jinxiao was distracted, Qu Weiyin had already dropped the wine glass and hung her arms around her neck. Her warm breath sprayed on Luo Jinxiao's ears, making her shiver.
"Why don't you look at me." Qu Weiyin said. Her tone seemed very aggrieved, with cruelty and beauty blended together, which made people unable to help but feel frightened and want to hug her in their arms.
Qu Weiyin's body was already pressed against him, and every place they touched was soft. Luo Jinxiao suddenly pressed her shoulders and asked softly, "Do you still recognize who I am?"
"Why don't you recognize me?" Qu Weiyin smiled contemptuously. She pushed Luo Jinxiao away with her fingertips. The tenderness in her eyes disappeared instantly. "It's no one."
Seeing her like this, Luo Jinxiao's anger spread, and the violence hidden in his heart suddenly burst out and was difficult to control.
"Are you like this to everyone?" She lowered her voice, with an unnoticeable hostility in her tone.
"Of course." Qu Weiyin looked at her steadily, disappointment gradually rising in her eyes. She turned around and walked towards the bed, "You are not an exception."
Luo Jinxiao clenched her palms, and the long-lost brutality suddenly came from thousands of years ago, covering her limbs and bones.
She was so furious at Qu Weiyin's words that she didn't notice the disappointment in her eyes.
She said she was like this to everyone, so in these three years...
Luo Jinxiao could no longer think about it, so she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qu Weiyin's hand. Qu Weiyin lost her balance and fell onto the bed.
"What are you doing!" Qu Weiyin was startled by her sudden outburst, and then burst out with demonic energy in anger, but was resolved by Luo Jinxiao.
Although Qu Weiyin did not use any ruthless force, she still widened her eyes when she saw that she could break her magic so easily.
"Who are you?" Qu Weiyin's voice trembled a little, and the drunkenness just now completely disappeared.
At this moment, Luo Jinxiao felt that there was a fire in her heart that was devouring her peace and she could hardly control herself. She seemed to have turned into the heavenly Qixi again, the god of war who was angered by his beloved woman.
Her divine power made Qu Weiyin almost unable to move and he could only struggle.
Qingyi, who was outside the door, came over when she heard the sound. As soon as she stepped into the room, Luo Jinxiao pressed her against the wall. Qingyi's feet were off the ground, and she could only look at the sky desperately, shouting silently, unable to utter a word.
Luo Jinxiao exerted more force and a five-finger mark appeared on her neck, strangling her to the point of almost suffocating her and she rolled her eyes.
Qu Weiyin's limbs were clamped and he became angry. A red light flashed between his eyebrows, and then a tremendous amount of magic power gushed out like a volcanic eruption, bringing with it flames that burned Luo Jinxiao's hands so much that they hurt.
Ke Luo just held on to Qu Weiyin tightly tonight. She tried hard not to hurt Qu Weiyin, and vented all her anger on Qingyi. She raised her hand and threw her away. The woman's body hit the edge of the table heavily, and she screamed and lost consciousness.
"Are you crazy? Get out of here!" Qu Weiyin said harshly. She was gasping for breath because of the struggle, and her eyes were red. She was obviously very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
At this time, perhaps Luo Jinxiao had lost his mind and used too much strength, and coupled with Qu Weiyin's struggle, he actually tore the clothes on her shoulders.
Half of the fragrant shoulders appeared in front of Luo Jinxiao. In addition to the woman's shoulders that were as soft and plump as lotus flesh, there was also half of a graceful word "Luo".
The words deeply engraved into the fair skin were very eye-catching. Luo Jinxiao suddenly realized what they were. He suddenly lost his temper, and the strange hostility in his eyes gradually subsided.
Qu Weiyin let out a cry of anger that had been suppressed for a long time. She violently pushed Luo Jinxiao away, pulled up her clothes, and messily covered the words engraved on her chest.
"Go away!" she cried.
Luo Jinxiao took a few steps back and stood firm. His mind finally became clear. He looked at his hands, unable to believe what he had just done, nor what he saw.
"You are not her, get out!" Qu Weiyin said viciously. She backed away against the wall, her eyes red and she hugged her knees tightly.
"Someone come!" she shouted loudly. Footsteps were heard outside the door. Luo Jinxiao quickly raised her hand and pointed outside the door, but there was no movement.
"I thought you were her. You're not." Qu Weiyin sobbed softly and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
"Who are you?"
God knows what despair she felt when she woke up from her dream and saw herself lying in the devil's palace, covered in blood.
She knew that she must have killed many people after she lost consciousness. Luo Jinxiao was not by her side, but Yu Gui.
However, due to some reasons, she was temporarily unable to leave this devil's palace, and she dared not appear in front of the world.
She was on the verge of collapse every day and night after she woke up. If she hadn't been hoping that Luo would come to find her tonight, she might have committed suicide.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned for a while, and suddenly understood everything. She clenched her fists and pounded on the wall beside her, causing the hall to tremble.
"I'm sorry." Luo Jinxiao gritted her teeth. She wanted to scold herself.
"I'm sorry, Junior Master." Luo Jinxiao stepped forward cautiously and gently held Qu Weiyin's hand.
Hearing the words "Junior Master", Qu Weiyin was stunned.
She suddenly stopped crying, opened her red eyes, and looked at Luo Jinxiao's face with tears in her eyes.
Then he reached out and poked it.
Luo Jinxiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. She wiped her face, wiping away her tears and changing back to her original appearance.
"It's me, it's really me." Luo Jinxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She carefully stroked the back of Qu Weiyin's smooth and moist hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, I just..."
Before she could finish her words, Qu Weiyin had already thrown herself into her arms, hugged her tightly, and sobbed against her neck.
Luo Jinxiao felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She hugged Qu Weiyin and slowly slid her hands through her long hair.
The two hugged each other tightly, not wanting to let go no matter what.
"Tonight, it's really you. Why have you changed? Why can't I smell your scent?" Qu Weiyin choked up. She didn't know whether she was crying or laughing for a moment. She could only sniff her nose and ask intermittently.
Luo Jinxiao felt helpless. It was truly a farce. She forgot that she had become a god, which was equivalent to changing her shell. Qu Weiyin naturally could not recognize her from her breath.
"It's a long story." Luo Jinxiao felt sad, and she gently patted Qu Weiyin's back.
"I thought you really forgot about me." Luo Jinxiao said. She watched the tears fall from her eyes onto the bed and seep into the cotton wool.
"Remember when I entered the water? The Qingchi has the effect of purifying the evil spirit. So although I started to become evil because of the magic, I have returned to my original state after coming out of the Qingchi."
"I have been waiting for you and looking for you in secret. You said you would come to find me, but you haven't been seen for three years. I think you may not want me anymore." Qu Weiyin's voice gradually became lower, mixed with grievance.
"I won't, I won't." Luo Jinxiao, with tears on her face, gently kissed Qu Weiyin's forehead.
She felt heartbroken as if she was being stabbed by needles. If she had known this would happen, she would have risked her life to break into the demon world just to see her first.
"Jinxiao, let me see you." Qu Weiyin couldn't help smiling. She pushed Luo Jinxiao away with tears in her eyes, looked her up and down, and then snuggled into her arms again.
Her almond-shaped eyes were red, and although the look in them seemed different, the dimples at the corners of her mouth and her dark eyes made her sure that it was Luo Jinxiao without a doubt.
"When I first saw you, I felt something was wrong, but you kept asking me if I remembered the past. I was afraid that you were a spy sent by Yu Gui and his men, so I kept silent."
"Just now I still had doubts in my heart, so I couldn't help but use the wine to test it. I thought I missed you so much that I mistook you for someone else, so I said those angry words, but it turned out to be you."
Qu Weiyin pursed her red lips, raised the corners of her lips, and her phoenix eyes were wet with water.
"Hold me again, I want to know that I'm not having a nightmare." She wiped away her tears on Luo Jinxiao's shoulder and whispered.
