Chapter 11: Fairy Shengle (3)

After Qilang entered the illusion, he saw floating clouds and picturesque mountains. He fell from the sky and turned into a statue of an immortal in Shengle Township.

This must be the true body of Shengle Immortal. With a wave of his sleeve, most of the illusion disappeared and he turned back into his original appearance.

A mere demon could not trap him in the illusion, but the same could not be said for the human woman, Li Yuanying. She should be trapped in an illusion somewhere and unable to escape.

Counting the days, he should have completed his mission and reported to the Emperor long ago. Otherwise, who knows how the old men around the Emperor would attack him again. Qilang looked at the blood bracelet on his hand. He had not taken action before because of the blood bracelet's seal, which prevented him from defeating Li Yuanying.

Now she is trapped in an illusion and her magic power has weakened, which is a good time to take action.

"If we want to capture Chang'an, we must first break the barrier outside Chang'an - the Yuanming Realm."

Qilang recalled the words of the Emperor.

"If you want to break the Yuanming Realm, you must first kill Li Yuanying, because she is the source of the spiritual power that seals the Yuanming Realm."

Qilang stretched out his hand, and the frostbite on his hand had been healed by the power of the demon. He didn't expect that the goddess Yuanying, who was feared by the demon world, was suffering from a terminal illness. In fact, even without his help, she would not live for more than a few days.

As long as I don't give her the demonic power, she will die...

Qilang felt that he had become a different person since he met Li Yuanying. He never bothered about such things.

Aside from their wedding night, this wasn't the first time he'd seen her. He still remembered the Battle of Blackwater that winter; a fleeting glimpse, truly unforgettable. Blackwater was always winter, the water azure, the ground a snowy white. On the vast battlefield, the north and south banks of the water held the demons and the humans, respectively.

To the north of the Black Water is Mount Buzhou, and to the south of the Black Water is Jiuzhou, where demons and humans fight all year round.

Inside the heavy armor, a delicate young woman appeared. She was dressed in a long white dress and held a silver sword. She was like a blooming snow lotus, a perfect match for the icy and snowy landscape. That night, the moonlight gently shone upon the goddess, making her entire body sparkle like stars in the night sky.

Qilang was young and ignorant, and had never seen such a beautiful woman in the demon clan. She was like a noble plum blossom blooming alone in the cold, beautiful and inviolable, like a fairy in the sky, unparalleled in the world.

It is said that the water the goddess drinks every day is morning dew, the clothes she wears every day are made of golden silk, she bathes in the dew, eats mountain delicacies, and lives a carefree life, a life superior to others.

As for the demon race, they have been in decline since the war. The people are living in poverty and lack of material resources. Many demons have no choice but to mingle among the human world and live a sneaky life.

The so-called difference between heaven and earth is just this.

Qilang had only one thought at the time: if this incomparably sacred whiteness was stained and stepped on by people, would it be more beautiful?

Unfortunately, the Emperor hadn't allowed Qilang to fight in order to avoid exposing his evil identity. Otherwise, he would have tried this idea himself. He wanted to make the white no longer pure, to make the goddess no longer so high and mighty, but he had never imagined doing it this way—he had to kill her.

Qilang's mind echoed that Li Yuanying said to him when they set out, "I will definitely protect you", and when the demon was about to hurt him, she actually stood in front of him.

He was not disappointed at all. She was indeed a clean and holy goddess!

When Qilang was young, his entire demon clan was wiped out. He grew up in hatred and conspiracy. This kind of light felt dazzling to him, and he did not like the so-called "holiness".

In this filthy world, aren't all crows equally black? How could there possibly be a pure lotus?

"Wan'er, don't fall in love with humans. Don't tell your real name to anyone, okay?" When the mother was dying, her eyes were full of resentment, and she missed her young child very much.

"Okay, Wan'er understands. Mother, don't leave me!" Young Qilang held his mother's hand, tears streaming down his face.

"From today on, don't cry. You have to grow up, Wan'er. Remember, you must avenge your mother! You must avenge the demon clan!" The mother grabbed his hand tightly and screamed.

Later, my mother died in that cold winter. She never waited for her beloved to return her demon pill, and finally died of suffocation.

Xie is the king of demons, possessing immense power, but possessing only one weakness: his true name. The first person to know Xie's true name can use it as a pact, commanding Xie to grant any of his wishes.

If you knew Xie's real name, you could use it to make him commit suicide. This is the only way to kill Xie.

What Qilang couldn't understand was that since his mother knew how important this secret was to Xie, why did she tell that person her real name?

He would never tell his real name to anyone in his life. There was no reason, and no one was worth him doing so.

As Qilang searched aimlessly, he encountered Li Yuanying, her spirit trapped in a man in an illusion. He found it amusing that such a dignified goddess had met such a fate. He snapped his fingers, and a ball of blue fire flew out. When it landed on Li Yuanying's spirit, she hadn't emerged from the illusion, but the man had vanished.

"Miss Li actually has so much leisure to wander around here." Qilang teased.

"My little girl is not very good at learning skills, and her soul has been trapped by witchcraft. Thank you very much for rescuing Fairy Shengle." Li Yuanying bowed to Qilang.

Qilang raised his eyebrows and looked at the pretty woman in front of him. Her clear eyes didn't seem to be lying. How could she not recognize him?

Meanwhile, Li Yuanying winked at Qilang again: "Qilang, answer the question quickly."

"You!" Qi Lang was speechless for a moment. He was actually frightened by this little girl. He snorted coldly and turned away.

"Hey? Fairy Shengle, why are you leaving? Our show hasn't finished yet." Li Yuanying didn't know why Qilang suddenly got angry again.

She was originally on Jiao Chun's body, and finally returned to Shengle Township, but saw Qilang wandering around wearing the clothes of Shengle Fairy. What was even more ridiculous was that he actually used magic to knock her down.

Now, she originally only needed to follow Jiao Chun to complete the plot, but now she has to complete the plot by herself.

"Miss Li, if you like to act, then go ahead and do it yourself. I won't accompany you."

"If you don't act with me, this illusion won't end. How can we get out?" Li Yuanying stopped Qilang and stopped him from leaving.

Qilang gave a perfunctory smile, his dark eyes were handsome but also a bit sinister, making people unable to stop: "We?"

"Yes, you and me, aren't we?" Li Yuanying pretended to be innocent, but she knew what Qilang was thinking. He seemed to be able to enter and exit the magic world of the demon at will, so he was not worried about whether he could get out.

Qilang extended his right index finger and tapped Li Yuanying's forehead with his slender hand: "There is only you, not me. Do you understand? It's a piece of cake for me to enter and exit this illusion."

The enchanting demon's illusion could only be escaped by those within it who broke the spell themselves. Even if Qilang could lead her out, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash of the demonic energy. Therefore, unless Qilang cooperated with the play, Li Yuanying knew she would never be able to escape.

"But Qilang, didn't you say you would take me home? Why do you say now that only you are going out?" Li Yuanying said patiently. She didn't want to annoy this man with a weird temper, otherwise things would only become more troublesome.

"It's not impossible for me to take you out, but what benefit can I get from it?" Qilang asked Li Yuanying with a wicked smile.

"Whatever Qilang wants, Wanwan will leave it to Qilang to decide." Li Yuanying's cheeks were flushed. She seemed shy, but there was an unknown light in her eyes.
