The next morning, as soon as Chu Nian opened the door, he saw Mu Qingge standing outside his door.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she asked: "Qing Ge? Why so early?"
"I want to tell you that I am leaving now and going to the Demon Forest. Do you want to go with me?" Mu Qingge asked.
Chu Nian couldn't help but ask: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's true that I'm a little anxious." Mu Qingge smiled.
Chu Nian thought for a while and said to her: "Okay, let's go and say goodbye to Fengtian Divine Emperor." After saying that, she planned to head towards the Divine Emperor's Palace.
"First thought." Mu Qingge stopped her.
Chu Nian turned his eyes and looked at Mu Qingge in confusion.
"No need to say goodbye," Mu Qingge said.
Chu Nian asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"I already said goodbye last night, and I'm afraid the Emperor Fengtian doesn't want to see me now. Well... maybe I don't have time to see you either," Mu Qingge explained.
Chu Nian was confused by her words.
However, she still chose to believe Mu Qingge. So she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then. Fengtian Domain is only a few days away from the Demon Forest. If we go faster, we may be able to enter the Demon Forest in less than three days."
"Okay, let's go." Mu Qingge nodded.
The two of them walked together towards the exit of Feng Tianyu.
When they left, Li Yuan was still sleeping. Yesterday, after Mu Qingge left, she felt depressed for a long time. The indescribable emotion made her unable to sleep.
Sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself without makeup, she couldn't get used to it, so she called the maid to put on makeup for her.
When that impeccably perfect face appeared in the mirror, she felt a little more at ease. After that, I didn't know when I fell asleep.
In her dream, she had a very beautiful dream, in which the man she longed for finally appeared and smiled affectionately at her.
She had never seen him smile before, she could only imagine how beautiful he looked when he smiled.
She saw his smile in her dream, and it was as beautiful as she imagined.
"You are finally here, finally willing to come to my side. You know, no matter how ruthless you are, you are the most perfect man in my heart, and only you are worthy of me." in the dream Li Yuan said to the man who appeared in her dream.
In that haziness, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
The man is approaching her.
The closer she got, the more clearly she could smell his scent.
The strange fragrance fascinated her, made her intoxicated, and made her unwilling to wake up. She took a deep breath and said happily: "I really like the smell of you."
"If you like me, why do you want to kill me and harm me?" The man opposite spoke, but when he spoke, it was not the sweet words she imagined, but a question.
Li Yuan opened her eyes wide, looked at the man who had suppressed his smile, and explained silently. "No, it's not like that! If you agree to marry me, agree to give up the Demon Realm and come to Fengtian Realm to accompany me, or if I go to the Demon Realm to be your princess, I won't be angry, impulsive, or hurt. You, harm you."
The man was handsome and impeccable, with a cold expression she was familiar with on his impeccable face.
Just when she was shocked, a sharp dagger appeared in the man's hand and stabbed into her heart. "I came here just to kill you for revenge!"
Li Yuan lowered her head, looked at her chest where blood was flowing out, and shouted sternly: "No!"
"No!" Li Yuan struggled to wake up from her dream and sat up suddenly.
In front of her, it was still her bedroom. Her back was already soaked with cold sweat. The familiar sight gradually calmed her down. But the dream still lingers in my mind.
His heart, where the dagger had been inserted in the dream, still seemed to be aching.
"No, it's impossible. If he wants to kill me, he will go to Fengtianyu when the seal is lifted. The fact that he didn't come proves that he is not angry. Perhaps, he has understood my feelings for him..." Li Yuan sat on the bed and murmured to herself. But then, she shook her head and said: "No! If he understood, how could he cause me to suffer backlash... No, no... He didn't know that if he did this, I would suffer backlash, right? He couldn't bear to kill me... He couldn't bear to... In this world, Without me, what other woman can be worthy of him? He must know it."
Li Yuan kept talking to herself, comforting herself.
When she finally woke up from the nightmare and wanted to summon the maid to wash her, she suddenly raised her hands and saw that the skin on her hands had become loose, dry, and dull, like withered tree bark.
"Ah!" Li Yuan screamed. She touched her cheek subconsciously and found that her face had become loose and loose, and even the hair hanging down on the bed had turned into a dull grayish white.
Her screams attracted the maid waiting outside the palace gate.
However, before they could get close, Li Yuan shouted back: "Get out! Get out of here!"
The maids didn't understand what was going on and wanted to leave, but she stopped them again.
"Wait! Bring me the mirror and the incense burner!" Li Yuan ordered the maid through the gauze curtain on the bed.
The maids did not dare to neglect. They bowed and brought the mirror and incense burner to Li Yuan before quickly retreating. Li Yuan was alone on the bed, picking up the mirror and looking at her face.
When an extremely old face appeared in the mirror that made her feel extremely ugly, even though she had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but let out a harsh scream.
…
At noon on the fourth day after leaving Fengtian Territory, Mu Qingge and Chu Nian arrived at the boundary between Yaolin and Fengtian Territory.
Standing in front of the boundary monument, the two of them did not immediately enter the demon forest.
"Further forward, there is the Demon Forest." Chu Nian said to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked around and saw endless mountains. Standing here, it was impossible to see the true face of the demon forest.
"Although I have never been here, I also learned from ancient books that the Demon Forest is the territory of the beast tribe. Unlike our gods, their people include beast tribes that have transformed and some beast races that have not transformed. Moreover, , there is no city like our Protoss here, they all use mountains as caves and forests as cities, which is much simpler than the Protoss." Chu Nian said slowly.
"I've never been here, but I heard that this is a good place." Mu Qingge nodded lightly.
"By the way, where are your friends waiting for you?" Chu Nian asked.
Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said to her: "When I enter the demon forest, he will naturally find me and come to meet me." There is a contractual connection between her and Yin Chen. Once she enters the demon forest, Yin Chen will sense her arrival.
By then, the two of them will naturally be able to get in touch.
"Then let's..." Chu Nian said hesitantly.
"Let's go where you want to go first." Mu Qingge smiled.
Chu Nian smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and nodded.
