Chapter 213: The truth of that year
"Congratulations to the one who passed the level." The voice of the old man in black robe echoed in the air, "The Lord Demon has ordered that this year's winner will be named..."
The altar suddenly shook violently, and a huge shadow emerged. It was a man wearing a black-gold crown, with eyes as dark as the abyss.
"Liu Wubai, Liu Wuchen." The voice of Demon Lord Cangming was like the howling of thousands of ghosts. "I appreciate your performance very much. From today on, Liu Wubai is the Saint of the Demon Clan, and Liu Wuchen is the Saint Son. The canonization ceremony will be held in three days."
Xiaobai looked at Fan Wujiu in astonishment, only to find that his expression was solemn and golden light was flashing violently in his eyes.
"Why, are you unhappy?" The Demon Lord suddenly lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
"Or should I call you 'Goddess' and 'Fan Wujiu'?"
Xiaobai's blood instantly froze.
The Demon Lord laughed in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, I am not interested in the God Clan.
But Fan Wujiu, don't forget what you promised me.
The shadow dissipated, leaving the room filled with chill.
Fan Wujiu grabbed Xiaobai's wrist and said, "Let's leave here first."
Back at the inn, Xiaobai shook off his hand and said, “What’s going on?
Why does he know our identity? What did you promise him? "
Fan Wujiu was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The flower of the demon world needs the holy blood of the demon race to maintain its vitality.
I originally planned to have you pretend to be a saint, obtain the holy blood and leave immediately.
“What now?”
"The plan has changed." A trace of pain flashed across Fan Wujiu's eyes, "Cang Ming knows more than I thought.
He threatened that if I didn't cooperate, he would reveal your identity as a god and the entire demon world would hunt you down. "
Xiaobai took a step back: "So you want me to really be this saint?"
"It's just a stopgap measure." Fan Wujiu suddenly approached and whispered in her ear, "Trust me, I will create chaos at the enthronement ceremony in three days, and we will take the opportunity to leave."
His breath brushed past my ears, carrying the familiar scent of pine.
Xiaobai recalled the scene she saw in the Heart-Eating Mirror. What she feared most in her heart was actually losing the man who called himself her "brother".
"Okay, I'll believe you again." Xiaobai said finally.
Fan Wujiu showed a relieved smile and ruffled her hair: "Be good."
At this moment, there was a flapping sound of wings outside the window. A blood crow landed on the windowsill, holding a black and gold invitation in its mouth. Fan Wujiu unfolded it and his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.
"Cang Ming invites the Saint to a banquet tonight." Fan Wujiu tightly grasped the invitation, "This is a trap."
The black and gold invitation sent by Blood Crow glowed with a strange luster under the candlelight. Xiaobai stared at the words written in magic blood on it, and his fingertips felt slightly cold.
"We can't go." Fan Wujiu said firmly, the Judge's Pen in his hand had revealed its true form, "We leave now, and we can come back to get the Flower of the Demon Realm later."
Xiaobai shook her head and put the invitation into her sleeve: "The senior brothers and sisters from Honghuang Pangu can't wait. And..." She looked out the window at the Demon City shrouded in the blood moon.
"Ai Ye must have some plan. She is testing us and wants to take this opportunity to eliminate the potential threat."
Fan Wujiu frowned, and suddenly took out a golden talisman from his arms: "Take this." He stuffed it into Xiaobai's collar without saying anything, "This is the amulet I bought with system points. It can block a fatal blow and teleport you to a safe place."
The talisman paper felt slightly hot against her chest, but Xiaobai held Fan Wujiu's wrist and said, "Keep your promise and tell me the truth." She looked directly into his eyes, which were shining with golden light. "What is our relationship? What kind of deal do you have with the demons?"
The room fell into a dead silence, with only the sound of each other's breathing being audible. Fan Wujiu's fingertips trembled slightly, and he finally sat down on the edge of the bed dejectedly.
"In your previous life, a wisp of your soul was reincarnated and became my sister." He said in a hoarse voice, "Her name is Fan Wuyou, and she is the brightest star in the underworld."
Xiaobai's heart was shocked, and the scene he saw in the Heart-Eating Mirror suddenly flashed through his mind: a little girl with two buns pulled Fan Wujiu's sleeve and shouted "Brother".
"Later, she awakened the memories of the gods and found out that she was a fragment of the soul of the goddess Baili." Fan Wujiu clenched his fists, "In order to help you, your previous life Baili, to complete the tribulation, she volunteered to die."
The candle flame popped into a flower.
Fan Wujiu's profile looked particularly sharp in the shadows: "I hate Bai Li so much that I made a deal with the demons to lure her into the game. The condition is that her power and treasures belong to the demons, and I just want revenge."
Xiaobai unconsciously took a half step back, his back against the cold wall.
“But when I actually met Bai Li.” Fan Wujiu suddenly looked up, with golden light flowing in his eyes like lava, “She looks exactly like Wuyou, and will even protect injured mortals on the battlefield.” He smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I couldn’t do it, but the transaction had already started, and everything had been laid out. I traded with the system at that time and worked for the system for the rest of my life.
The system helped me save Bai Li.
But because of this I betrayed the deal with the demons, so I was cursed by the demon lord of the demons at that time.
I must promise one thing to every demon, otherwise I will live a life worse than death.
Because the patron saint of the demon clan is the demon god →_→Chi.
The power system of the demon god cannot be interfered with, and the demon clan issued a curse in the name of Chi, so even if I am powerful and know everything, it is useless.
This Demon Lord asked me to help him expand the Demon Tribe’s territory.”
"So I was killed by you and the demons in my previous life?" Xiaobai's voice was surprisingly calm.
Fan Wujiu stood up suddenly as if he was stabbed: "I wanted to terminate the transaction, but the traitors of the demon clan suddenly appeared, they..." His voice stopped abruptly because Xiaobai had turned and walked towards the door.
"I understand your pain, but I'm sorry, I can't ask for forgiveness on behalf of Bai Li in my previous life." Xiaobai held onto the door frame without looking back.
"These grudges have nothing to do with me. I just want to get the flower of the demon world to save my brothers and sisters, and then..." She paused, "Be my little sister and the little uncle of Qingling Sect."
Fan Wujiu was struck by lightning: "You don't hate me?"
"Hating you requires emotional consumption, and I don't have the time for that." Xiao Bai finally turned around, with a look of alienation that Fan Wujiu had never seen before, "But if you keep hiding anything, we will go our separate ways."
The blood moon outside the window was obscured by dark clouds, and the room suddenly became dark.
Fan Wujiu looked at the girl in front of him who had the same face as Bai Li but was completely different, and suddenly realized a cruel fact: everyone was trying to shape her into a goddess, but no one had ever asked her what she wanted.
"It's time." Xiaobai straightened her clothes, and the black and gold invitation card turned into ashes in her hands. "Tell the Demon Lord that the Saint will be on time for the appointment."
Fan Wujiu stepped forward urgently: "At least let me..."
"You have another mission." Xiao Bai interrupted him and took out a jade hairpin from her hair. "Go find Ah Qing from the Medicine Demon Clan. She promised to help me find the storage place of the holy blood." She put the jade hairpin into Fan Wujiu's palm. "This is a token of love."
Fan Wujiu tightly grasped the jade hairpin which still had body temperature, and suddenly grabbed Xiaobai's wrist: "Come back alive." His voice was so low that it was almost hoarse, "This time I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Xiaobai gently pulled her hand away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "You should say this to yourself." Before she finished her words, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the night.
Fan Wujiu stood in place, with the Judge's Pen in his palm emitting a sharp arc of light.
He looked towards the Demon Palace, his eyes shining brightly: "System, redeem all points and activate the God-killing mode."
[Warning: God-killing mode will consume the host's entire lifespan]
【Are you sure? 】
"confirm."
[Dormitory, I need to remind you that the power of the demon god is very strong. If the system cannot maintain your safety, it will automatically leave your body.]
"It doesn't matter. I'm tired of the system."
