"I was distracted just now, thinking about something else. Tell me about that painting again..."
So Aoqian patiently told Song Xiwei the story of the painting again.
Song Xiwei listened carefully this time and analyzed to Aoqian, "This painting should have another layer of meaning."
What do you mean?
"Besides the Heavenly Emperor, there is another person who hopes that you and the Heavenly Emperor will become the ones who can eliminate each other. This person deliberately revealed the existence of this painting. What exactly happened 60,000 years ago is only known to those involved. This painting may only be a part of it, not the whole picture. And the fact that you were led here to see this painting is very likely a trap. If you hadn't arrived a little late by mistake, have you ever thought about those corpses...?"
Song Xiwei didn't continue, but her meaning was clear.
Aoqian's lips were tightly pursed; no wonder Song Xiwei kept checking if he was injured as soon as she spoke.
"I'm sorry, I still made you worry about me..."
"Apologize to me?"
"You just said it was a setup, and I think your guess is correct. If the other side really wants to use me and the Heavenly Emperor to eliminate each other, then if this setup succeeds, they can lure me here and eliminate me directly. If it fails, the Heavenly Emperor's secret will be exposed, and I will find out that I am the Heavenly Emperor's scapegoat. After that, I will hate the Heavenly Emperor, and because of this hatred, I will turn evil and start to attack the Heavenly Court. After that, things will probably develop as the other side expects, and the Heavenly Emperor and I will still suffer heavy losses..."
"That's exactly what I meant. You really get it right away."
Song Xiwei was quite pleased.
"That's right. I'm not just influenced by you. I've changed a lot in the past two years by your side. I won't resort to killing to solve problems anymore!"
"Yes, you are really different now. You are a good monarch who will show leniency. I was really surprised to hear that you let the Demon King go. What did he do that changed your mind? Can you tell me?"
When Song Xiwei asked about this, Aoqian was still a little embarrassed.
"Um, he's not that bad, is he...?"
"Hmm? Did he do something that changed your opinion of him?"
Song Xiwei was incredibly curious about what the Demon King had done to make Aoqian say that the Demon King wasn't so annoying.
Aoqian: "Well, I didn't want to walk, so he carried me for a while..."
Song Xiwei: "Wow, when did the Demon King become so helpful?"
Aoqian coughed and said, "Also, he gave us a lot of blessings, which made me feel that he wasn't so bad at heart, so I decided to give him a chance to change his ways."
"Well, it's good that you've made your decision." Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian could even forgive someone like the Demon King with whom he had so many grudges, and that now that he had left Chidu, Aoqian was able to control his emotions and was independent.
Although Song Xiwei had lived in Chidu for two years and had developed feelings for every plant and tree there.
I feel incredibly reluctant to leave this place suddenly, but I've already made my choice, and there's really no other way.
"What are you doing?" After Aoqian had explained the situation on his side to Song Xiwei, he habitually asked about the situation on Song Xiwei's side.
Song Xiwei quickly replied, "I didn't do anything, just wandered around."
"Walking alone is no fun, I'll be back soon."
Upon hearing Aoqian's telepathic message, Song Xiwei felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her heart.
"Some scenery is destined to be seen by only one person." She herself did not realize how desolate her words were.
Even the slow-witted Aoqian noticed something was wrong. "What happened? You're acting very strange today!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to go for a walk outside." Song Xiwei hadn't originally planned to mention it to Aoqian so soon, but she didn't have the chance to say goodbye to him in person. Moreover, once they were face to face, there was nothing she could do.
