Qin Yuqing unexpectedly transmigrated into a toxic novel and became its female lead, binding herself to an Empress Sys...
Chapter 115 Death is a grand banquet
"No!!!" a heart-wrenching cry rang out.
Li Muyan knelt on the ground, his hands gripping the ground tightly, and looked towards the vanished village with sorrow: "Dad! Mom!"
The hoarse voice lingered in the air for a long time without stopping.
Just as Lu Jingchuan walked forward to comfort Li Muyan, he saw hatred in Li Muyan's eyes and he stood up tremblingly.
"Sixth Princess, all this was really done by Yu Bingyan, the young master of the Yu family." Li Muyan asked in a hoarse voice, with red bloodshot all over his eyes.
"Is it right?"
Qin Yuqing nodded and said, "More than that."
Li Muyan's voice was hoarse, and he suddenly burst into tears of laughter. He looked at the altar that had appeared, with a determination he had never seen before in his eyes: "Sixth Princess, this is your last journey. I am here to help you."
At this time, Xiao Wu was supporting Xiao Lu. Xiao Lu looked panicked. After seeing Qin Yuqing, he shook off his brother's hand, rushed towards Qin Yuqing, and hugged Qin Yuqing's waist.
Lu Jingchuan: "Let go."
Xiaolu ignored Lu Jingchuan's words and continued to hug Qin Yuqing tightly, burying her head in Qin Yuqing's shoulder without saying a word.
Feeling the fabric on her shoulders getting wet, Qin Yuqing chuckled softly, her voice unconsciously softening as she ignored Lu Jingchuan's accusing look.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaolu still didn't speak, but after hearing Qin Yuqing's voice, he hugged Qin Yuqing's waist even tighter, as if Qin Yuqing would disappear in the next moment.
Qin Yuqing seemed to understand something, and spoke in a gentle voice, but the words were indeed irresistibly tough: "Xiaolu, let go."
The force around her loosened, but she still didn't let go. The little deer's voice was muffled: "Princess, I saw it all. It's right here."
"Go in, and you will all die except me and my brother."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Lu Jingchuan and Chuntao stood aside without saying a word, while Xiao Wu looked at Xiaolu with a worried look on his face.
However, a hint of excitement flashed in Li Muyan's eyes, and he touched his cuffs hard.
"Little Deer." The gentle voice said without hesitation, "Don't make me say it again."
Hearing this, Xiaolu finally let go of her hand. Her eyes were red, but she still held onto Qin Yuqing's sleeve, unwilling to give up. "Princess."
Qin Yuqing patted Xiaolu's head and said, "What did you see?"
Xiaolu's hands trembled. She covered her eyes, her fingers clasped tightly on her eyelids: "Everyone is dead."
A light laugh suddenly rang out. Qin Yuqing smiled and rubbed Xiaolu's head again, saying, "But aren't we all still alive now?"
"The oracle is irreversible." The deer's trembling voice was full of stubbornness.
"It's irreversible." Qin Yuqing chuckled, "But what happens next?"
Xiaolu looked at Qin Yuqing in confusion: "Back then, everyone...died."
Qin Yuqing didn't say anything. She turned and looked at the people following her and said, "I'm sure you all have heard it. The choice is in your hands. Whether to leave or stay, A'ruan will definitely not try to keep you."
As soon as Qin Yuqing finished speaking, the others raised their legs without hesitation.
"Chun Tao will always protect the princess. Wherever the princess is, Chun Tao will be there." Chun Tao stood in front of Qin Yuqing with a firm look in her eyes. No matter what time and space, Chun Tao always stayed by the side of the Sixth Princess.
"I dare not disobey my parents' wishes." Li Muyan did not hesitate. He stood behind Qin Yuqing and looked firmly at the towering altar.
Lu Jingchuan walked to Qin Yuqing and silently took Qin Yuqing's hand: "I'm here."
Qin Yuqing looked at the altar not far away. As time went on, all the outlines of the altar appeared one by one, and some bad premonitions lingered in her heart.
"Princess." Xiao Wu walked forward with the deer. He patted the deer's head soothingly, then bowed respectfully and said, "We will stay by your side."
Qin Yuqing met Xiaolu's frightened eyes. The picture of fate was never wrong. We will all die. Death is destined and cannot be avoided.
At this time, a giant eagle fell from the sky, holding a letter in its mouth. It placed it in Qin Yuqing's hand and then disappeared into the air.
Qin Yuqing opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. There were only a few very short sentences.
Sixth sister, the situation in the north has been resolved and the war is stable.
"Then let's go." Qin Yuqing took out a fire starter, burned the letter paper and the envelope, and then led everyone up the stairs.
As soon as they stepped onto the stairs of the altar, the scene around them changed. Before everyone could react, Xiaolu and Xiaowu's bodies disappeared in an instant.
"Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing, I have been waiting for a long time." Unlike the mountain god's cold and emotionless voice, this voice sounded unexpectedly young, like the voice of a girl next door.
"They grew up under the care of the priests, so it's okay for the priests to meet them." Qin Yuqing reacted immediately and realized that the owner of the voice was the guardian of the west, the priest of Alhan who had died.
Lu Jingchuan silently took a step forward and stood in front of Qin Yuqing. His eyes were full of vigilance. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in so many lifetimes.
Because the guardian of the west has long been dead.
"Why am I not dead?" A smiling voice echoed in everyone's ears. Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan who looked unhappy and immediately reacted.
This priest could hear what was in their hearts.
"Because you are not the destined one." The priest ignored everyone's hostile gazes and said in a playful voice with a hint of solemnity, "I, the Western Guardian, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Qin Yuqing looked at the surrounding environment and it turned back to the village just now. The only difference was that the villagers all hung their heads, and Madam Li and Marquis Li were nowhere to be seen.
"What do you want to do?" The bad premonition became stronger.
The priest chuckled: "To fulfill the deer's oracle."
"The oracle is not Xiaolu's." Qin Yuqing's face turned completely cold.
The priest paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if it wasn't her, she saw it, didn't she?"
"The oracle she saw was not what she wished for."
"That's not what she wants, but the oracle is the oracle." The priests seemed to clap their hands, "Sixth Princess, this is the last world. If it's gone, everything will be gone."
"Death is a grand banquet."
As the priest's voice fell, all the villagers raised their heads in unison, looking at Qin Yuqing with bloodshot eyes fiercely.
Qin Yuqing knew that the content of the oracle was irresistible, but neither she nor Lu Jingchuan had expected that everything would happen so quickly and suddenly.
Just when everyone was about to draw their weapons to deal with the villagers who had been parasitized by maggots, the next moment, Li Muyan took out a very small wooden sword from his arms, turned his back to the villagers, looked relieved, and said with a smile.
"Sixth Princess, I think I will be the first one to die, right?"
The scene before him coincided with the first part of the oracle described by the deer.
A man.
Li Muyan.
Holding a black object.
Li Muyan held a wooden sword in his hand.
Stabbed in the heart, dead.
Li Muyan held the wooden sword, with a smile in his resolute eyes, and stabbed it into the heart without hesitation.
The villagers and the village instantly turned into bubbles and disappeared on the spot, leaving no trace. Only the lifeless Li Muyan was left, lying quietly on the ground with a gentle smile on his face, just like Mrs. Li.
The oracle of the first part, Li Muyan, is dead.
Qin Yuqing stared at everything in front of her in a daze. Everything happened too fast, too quickly, without even giving her a chance to react. The surrounding environment changed again.
This time it was in the palace. Qin Yuqing stood there, and Lu Jingchuan and Chuntao had no idea where they had gone.
The next moment, the emperor came out, holding a longbow as long as his body. His black pupils looked at Qin Yuqing lifelessly. Like a puppet, he raised his hand stiffly, drew the bow and aimed the arrow at Qin Yuqing's heart.
Qin Yuqing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his body was unable to move at all, and he could only watch the long arrow shooting towards him.
The next moment, Chuntao appeared in front of Qin Yuqing. Just like in modern TV dramas, she used her body to block the long arrow shot at Qin Yuqing.
Warm blood sprayed on Qin Yuqing's face, and the splashing blood stuck to Qin Yuqing's eyes, but she stared at everything in front of her, and the stinging pain of the blood entering her eyes did not make her close her eyes.
"Your Highness, thankfully, you're okay."
"Chun Tao!" Qin Yuqing hugged the fallen Chun Tao, and the emperor behind him picked up the long arrow beside him, and this time, he aimed it at himself.
"Aruan." The emperor's voice was hoarse, his eyes full of struggle, "I am the one who is sorry for you."
The next moment, an arrow pierced the emperor's heart, and he slowly fell to the ground, dead.
"No!" Qin Yuqing's eyes were red, tears flowed from his eyes, mixed with Chuntao's blood and dripped onto Chuntao's face, "Father!"
"Don't cry, it won't look good if the princess cries." Chun Tao said weakly. She wanted to reach out and wipe the princess' tears, but her hand fell down in mid-air and she never raised it again.
"Chun Tao!" Qin Yuqing knelt on the ground, watching Chun Tao's figure gradually disappear in Qin Yuqing's arms, "Little Peach!"
Without giving Qin Yuqing time to be sad, the environment changed again, and this time it was a scene that left a deep impression on Qin Yuqing.
"Lu Jingchuan, you said you wouldn't leave me."
There was a blizzard all around. Not far away, in a huge cage, there was a man in white clothes, tied with iron chains and hanging in the center of the cage.
Qin Yuqing stumbled to the side of the cage, holding the cage tightly with his hands, looking at the pale man in the center of the cage.
"Aruan." Lu Jingchuan's voice was bitter, "I'm sorry."
"I don't want to feel sorry!" Qin Yuqing grabbed the cage. She wanted to reach Lu Jingchuan in the cage, but the cage was too big and she really couldn't reach it.
Lu Jingchuan smiled, a gentle, doting smile on his cold face: "My time has come, and it's time to repay everything I've done."
Qin Yuqing kept shaking her head. She actually had some guesses. When she first saw this place and heard those resentful voices, Qin Yuqing had already guessed it.
"The me in other time and space, I am here to pay for my life." As Lu Jingchuan's voice fell, countless black wronged souls mixed with thunder and lightning struck Lu Jingchuan's body.
"Lu Jingchuan!" Qin Yuqing stretched out her hand and wanted to bear it for Lu Jingchuan, but Lu Jingchuan just looked at Qin Yuqing gently.
"Don't cry, Ruan. We will come back."
Qin Yuqing watched the black vengeful spirit tearing Lu Jingchuan's body apart. She could feel Lu Jingchuan's soul being torn apart continuously.
"A Ruan." When everything was over, Lu Jingchuan's body became increasingly transparent from bottom to top.
"Lu Jingchuan! You promised me that you wouldn't leave me!" Qin Yuqing slapped the cage.
Lu Jingchuan was still smiling, his hands were locked with chains, and his body had disappeared.
"Aruan, don't cry."
"I'll always be here."
