Chapter 44: Prince Fu

The wolf demon stared at Li Yuanying intently. It did not answer immediately, breathing heavily. It looked at Fifteen again, as if it was hesitating about something.

"The Immortal King you mentioned may never come back, but you have to live for yourself. Besides, Fifteen still needs you. If you don't consider yourself, you should consider her." Li Yuanying continued to persuade.

She hoped that the mother in front of her could figure it out on her own, unlock the key to the formation, and break the Wanyang Formation. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to kill it.

If anyone breaks the formation, he will die in battle.

Li Yuanying still remembered that the emperor had once given the Li family the best blood swallows, and Jiang Qie would stew a bowl of it for Li Yuanxi every day, but she did not have such treatment.

That was originally Jiang Qie's biological son, not her, so she didn't take it seriously at first.

What's more, Yuan Xi is so innocent that he would quietly leave anything good to his sister, which made her very happy.

But one day, the mother in Jiang Qie's room came and searched Li Yuanying's room thoroughly. She insisted that the blood swallow was lost and bitten to death and that Xiao Cui had taken it.

"Last night, someone saw you in the kitchen. If it wasn't you who took it, who else could it be?"

Li Yuanying still remembers the old woman's face at that time, which was full of flesh and unreasonable.

Xiao Cui was still young at that time and started crying out of fear.

"I went there because the young lady had a cold, so I went to the kitchen to find some ginger slices to make tea for her!" she explained while crying.

But no one listened.

Later, Jiang Qie came and wanted to beat Xiao Cui without any explanation. Li Yuanying naturally refused, and the matter was brought to the attention of Master Li.

Li Yuanying had never had high expectations for her father, but what he did that time was more disheartening than she had imagined.

Not only did he not believe Li Yuanying, he also punished Li Yuanying as well.

Jiang Qie finally felt relieved.

Li Yuanying remembered that the servant slapped his own hands in front of so many people. He slapped himself hard and the sound was very loud.

If his mother were around, Jiang Qie would never be so rampant.

Li Yuanying did not cry, she knew crying was useless. But later, when the emperor came to ask Master Li to catch monsters, Li Yuanying always made various excuses not to go. At first, Li Zhongdao just scolded Li Yuanying, but later when he got into trouble and many people died, he came back and put Li Yuanying in solitary confinement.

Li Yuanying refused to give in and insisted on holding on.

More and more people died on Li Zhongdao's side, and no one followed him. When he had to do it alone, he finally knew to ask Li Yuanying for help. Li Yuanying remembered that day when Li Zhongdao invited her out of the small dark room, bought her new clothes, set a table of delicious food, and even changed the decorations in her room.

They were served with delicious food and drinks and entertained with great care.

Li Yuanying still refused to give in. She knew that if she didn't teach Li Zhongdao a lesson this time, she would still suffer in the Li family.

In the end, Li Zhongdao slapped Jiang Qie hard, and Li Yuanying finally felt relieved.

This slap is nothing. She just wants Jiang Qie to know what kind of person this guy is that she likes.

You want happiness? That's impossible. You've made my mother bear a lifetime of resentment, and I won't let you live a happy life with a clear conscience.

After Li Yuanying took action, the tasks assigned by the emperor were successfully completed, and the Li family was once again valued.

From then on, neither Li Zhongdao nor Jiang Qie dared to disrespect her anymore.

The father-daughter relationship had already been severed at this time, or perhaps even earlier.

Li Yuanying looked at Shiwu. Although her life was a bit hard now, she still had her mother's protection. If her mother gave up her obsession with transforming into a human form and took Shiwu away, she could live a quieter life.

If my mother is gone, where will she go and how much will she suffer?

"I promise to find the Immortal King for you. Are you willing to help me unlock the array's core?" Li Yuanying changed her words.

She knew that it was difficult for a woman blinded by love to see reality.

Sure enough, the wolf demon seemed to have let down his guard.

"Really? I've always wanted to transform back into human form, just to see him again."

"Really, I mean what I say."

Qilang looked at Li Yuanying. He thought that in the end they could only kill the wolf demon, but he didn't expect that this woman would come up with this method.

She doesn't have much time of her own, why does she want to meddle in other people's affairs?

Qilang's mind flashed with Li Yuanying's pale face at that time. She was lying stiffly in his arms, motionless.

Suddenly, he felt as if his heart was being strangled by something.

She is like a fragile snowflake that will melt at the slightest touch.

"But how can I trust you?"

Li Yuanying sighed and took out a talisman. This talisman was different from the others. It was a piece of black paper with white talisman drawings on it.

The wolf demon's expression changed slightly. "Death Chase Talisman? Little girl, are you the goddess of the demon-catching family?"

Li Yuanying nodded.

The wolf demon scoffed, "I didn't expect it...it would be such a young girl. They really are so cruel."

Qilang frowned slightly, feeling a little strange when listening to the wolf demon's words.

Li Yuanying continued, "With this Death Chaser Talisman, you can gather the resentment of the female ghosts. This resentment will help you find the whereabouts of the Immortal Lord you mentioned, no matter where in the world. Since you know the Li family, you should know that they are good at this."

"I know, you used this method to find the previous demon king. I heard that your talisman is extremely strange, I want to see if it's true today."

The previous demon king? Qilang's heart tightened. Could it be that he was talking about...

"So, do you believe it now?"

"good!"

"Have you thought it through?"

"Is there anything you want to get better?"

"Once the death pursuit talisman is used, whether the immortal king you mentioned can survive is another matter." Li Yuanying said in a light tone.

There was no hesitation in the wolf demon's eyes, only strong emotions, like love and hate, mixed together.

"When he did that, he should have thought this day would come."

Li Yuanying wanted to say something, but she didn't plan to mention it. She felt that the truth of the matter was of no significance to this sad fallen angel.

"Fifteen, mother will take you to meet your father." The wolf demon summoned Fifteen.

Li Yuanying and Qilang put away their weapons, but Bingyi did not let Shiwu go.

"Yanshan used to be called Miaoshan. I am the Miaoling Fairy here. I am mainly responsible for praying for offspring. In the beginning, people just came to Miaoshan to pray for children. Since it always works, my incense became very popular. Ever since that person came, this place has changed..." As the wolf demon spoke, tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

"Who? Is it the Immortal Lord you mentioned?"

The wolf demon shook his head: "No, it's the current emperor."

Li Yuanying was surprised.

"The current emperor has been wishing for a son for a long time, so he came to me to pray. However, even the power of God cannot violate the decision of whether to have a boy or a girl." The wolf demon looked at Li Yuanying.

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

The wolf demon shook his head: "I can't say more. I just want to remind you, little girl, to be careful about the emperor you are loyal to."

Then, the wolf demon raised his hands and began to chant a spell. The earth shook and a huge demonic energy penetrated the entire ancient tower, making a sound like a hurricane.

Li Yuanying felt a tightness in her chest. She covered her chest and began to have difficulty breathing.

Li Yuanying heard the wolf demon's ghostly whisper in the hurricane: "Also, be careful of your father."

The hurricane came from all directions, swirled around the ancient tower, rushed into the sky, and then fell from the sky like a waterfall, surging and flooding the sky.

The ancient tower began to slowly dissipate, layer by layer turning into ashes, until finally, only the base of the tower remained. The hurricane spread out and rushed towards all the bell formations.

Boom.

The bell formation turned to ashes in an instant.

The scene was extremely spectacular. With a loud bang, the eternal hatred was instantly destroyed.

A few wisps of green smoke rose from each ancient bell, and the faces of the female ghosts turned from distorted to cheerful as they rushed to the top of the cave.

"Now is the time! Use the Death Chasing Talisman!" the wolf demon roared.

Li Yuanying took out the death pursuit talisman and threw it into the air.

This death-chasing talisman is different from other ordinary yellow talismans. It does not require any magic to drive it. When the black talisman is thrown into the air, it turns into a black cloud. Black smoke begins to emerge from the bodies of the female ghosts. Wisps of smoke converge towards the black cloud, which becomes thicker and thicker, and finally shrinks into a ball and becomes a pitch-black sphere.

"It's truly bizarre! You don't even need magic to operate it. Your Li family is truly not a decent sect." The wolf demon's smile turned sinister. "That's why you were able to subdue the former demon king. But aren't you afraid that her cubs will come and seek revenge on you?"

Then, the wolf demon let out a shrill laugh, which echoed in the cave and was very creepy.

Li Yuanying didn't want to take on this matter as she had more important things to do.

"Fifteen, the brother in the village still needs your help." Li Yuanying looked at the little girl.

"Brother is going to turn into a green rabbit..." Fifteen looked at her mother timidly.

"Then do you want to save him?" asked the wolf demon.

Fifteen thought for a moment and said, "I want to, but I'm afraid of pain..."

"Fifteen, I don't know what happened, but I don't need much." Li Yuanying squatted down and looked into Fifteen's eyes.

Those eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of timidity in them.

Fifteen looked at his mother and then at Li Yuanying.

"Fifteen, go with Miss Li. Mother will come to pick you up in a moment."

Fifteen nodded.

At this time, the inside of the black sphere began to roll and began to vibrate slightly.

It seems there is a reaction.

"Generally, Death Chase will track down the person they have a grudge against within a day. I think Fifteen can go back with us first. After rescuing my senior brother, you and your daughter can go with Death Chase."

The wolf demon agreed.

Without firefly grass, Qilang could only use a ball of fireworks for lighting.

Before Li Yuanying and the other two could take Shiwu back, they first needed to find the Arctic Frost Lotus that Nvgui had promised them. Zhongli, who had encountered Nvgui by chance, was unwilling to do so, and when the four of them returned along the same route, they indeed saw the Arctic Frost Lotus.

In the boundless darkness, a crystal clear flower emitting a cold glow stands here, very conspicuous.

It is enchanting, it is pure and innocent, it is crazy and mad, it is unique.

Ten meters away from the Polar Cold Lotus, a thick layer of ice has formed and is still expanding outward.

If they continue at this speed, it will probably be too late for them to get out of the cave, rescue Zhang Qingchen, and then come back.

Just when Li Yuanying was feeling a little confused, that familiar voice sounded.

"Wanwan."

No, not just a familiar voice.

"Wanwan."

Li Yuanying saw a group of people holding torches walking towards them in the distance. Standing in front were Zhang Qingchen and Prince Fu.
