Chapter 12 Chapter 12 "What bad luck! Who do I think this is?"...
The huge snake coiled its tail, stood up, and looked around with resentment.
It held the unresponsive Biqing in its mouth.
As if it did it on purpose, it did not swallow Biqing in a hurry, but pierced Biqing's abdomen with its poisonous teeth, and kept talking about Biqing in a half-provocative and half-showy manner.
"Fairy Biqing!"
"Sister Biqing!"
Liu Que and Mo Jue exclaimed in disbelief at the same time.
The two cast their spells and were about to go forward to rescue Biqing when a gray figure flashed by and said, "Go check on the others first."
Liu Que and Mo Jue paused while casting their spells, and both disappeared from the spot.
The long snake lowered its eyes and looked at Xuan Yi. It threw Biqing aside in anger, twisted its body and rushed towards Xuan Yi at a rapid speed, showing no interest in Mingzhu and the cub not far away.
A gray shadow passed by the long snake's head. Xuan Yi held Biqing's waist with one hand and supported the back of her head with the other hand, pressing it against his shoulder to protect her tightly.
The long snake swung with almost all its strength. Even though Xuan Yi mobilized his demonic power to protect Biqing and himself, it was still pushed by irresistible inertia the moment it caught Biqing, and it only stopped after crashing into several dead trees.
Xuan Yi didn't bother to shake off the dead branches all over his body. He channeled his demonic power into Biqing to protect her heart meridians and lowered his head to check her injuries.
Biqing's face was as pale as snow, her lips were black and blue, and the purple veins lay like tree roots on the porcelain white skin of her neck, forming a strong contrast.
Looking down along the neck, there was a hole pierced through Biqing's abdomen, and black and purple blood as sticky as paste was hanging around, but it didn't drip down for a long time.
Xuan Yi nearly bit his back teeth to pieces as he looked up at the smug snake, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Remember to tell your aunt..."
A voice lighter than a feather floated from Xuan Yi's arms. He held Biqing's still warm hand: "Biqing! You'll be fine!"
Xuan Yi lowered his voice very low, fearing that Bi Qing would hear the trembling in his throat.
"The source of water from the demon world..."
When Biqing heard the voice, she wanted to see who was in front of her.
But her eyelids were so heavy that she struggled and fluttered her eyelashes twice but failed to open them as she wished, so she simply gave up the idea.
I didn't feel any pain, just cold.
It was as cold as when he was young and suffered injustice, and ran to the snow-covered Yuluan Peak to look for his aunt.
Biqing shuddered as she squeezed out a sentence from her throat: "The water source cannot be delayed..."
The voice became increasingly vague, and Biqing wasn't sure whether the person in front of her had heard her or not, nor was she sure whether she had finished speaking.
Before her consciousness completely faded, she raised the corner of her mouth.
Although it was a pity that he could not go to the human world, leaving the heaven by accident was also a wish come true.
My wish in this life can be considered fulfilled.
"Biqing? Biqing!"
Xuan Yi gently patted Biqing's face. The moment his palm touched her, a chilling chill penetrated every inch of his skin, freezing the blood in his body.
The long snake spat out its tongue in Xuan Yi's direction, showing a victorious gesture, then turned around and crawled in the direction where Mo Jue and Liu Que left.
Xuan Yi continued to channel his demonic energy into Bi Qing, his face frosty.
The blue demonic power covered Biqing's entire body. Xuan Yi carefully laid Biqing flat on the ground, his movements as gentle as if he was placing a fragile treasure.
Xuan Yi opened his hand, and the sword fell into his palm.
A cold light fell from the sky and landed an inch in front of the snake's mouth, blocking its way.
The snake was startled by Xuan Yi's sudden arrival. It opened its mouth, revealing two venomous fangs and a bottomless throat, and roared menacingly at Xuan Yi, who was floating in front of it.
There were still spots of blood on the fangs on the upper left.
That was Biqing's blood.
The roar brought with it a gust of air, making Xuan Yi's grey coat rustle and blowing his long, inky black hair messily behind his head, occasionally getting tangled up with the flying hem of his clothes.
Xuan Yi smiled arrogantly at the long snake.
The long snake refused to be outdone and opened its mouth to pounce on Xuan Yi, who was so close to it, attempting to swallow him in one gulp.
Xuan Yi sneered and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The long snake couldn't find Xuan Yi's scent, so it raised its head and roared towards the sky, shaking the dead trees and houses in Zhaoye Forest to the ground.
"Worse than the sound of your dead partner."
Xuan Yi landed behind the long snake and taunted it, "A demonic beast that can neither transform nor speak."
His words made the resentful snake lose its mind in an instant.
The long snake thought of its partner who had died tragically at the hands of Xuan Yi's sword. It twisted its body madly, and its tail rolled up a dead tree and threw it at Xuan Yi.
“Boring.”
Xuan Yi casually created a barrier in front of him, and the trees hit the barrier with a crackling sound.
Two streams of black liquid gushed out of the snake's mouth, splashing onto the barrier.
"It's only with this ability that I've survived until now."
Xuan Yi gripped the sword tightly in his hand and charged towards the snake: "It's a miracle."
——
Mo Jue was worried about his brother, so he quickly settled the cubs, gave Liu Que some simple instructions, and ran out.
A strong smell of blood lingered in his nose. Mo Jue followed the scent and saw Biqing lying quietly not far away.
The shocking wound made Mo Jue feel distressed. Seeing Biqing's purple fingertips, Mo Jue hurriedly sent her demonic power to suppress the toxins in her body to prevent it from spreading further.
There was a sound of metal scraping across scales overhead, and Mo Jue looked up to see his brother struggling with a long snake.
"Brother!" Mo Jue's worry was drowned out by the sound of fighting.
The blue light was as fast as lightning, appearing from time to time around the snake, making the snake dizzy and its head spinning around.
The long snake was furious. It opened its mouth and bit the air randomly.
Following Xuan Yi's barely audible sneer, a long snake-like roar, like a gong breaking, pierced the heavens.
It fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
Xuan Yi chopped off one of the snake's eyes with a single blow.
While the snake was rolling around with its mouth open, Xuan Yi used his knife to chop off its left fang.
"The snake's scales are invulnerable to swords and spears."
Xuan Yi stood on the snake's head and slashed at the black snake scales in front of him. The blade rubbed against the snake scales, and sparks flew.
The blade with blood beads hanging on it moved between the gaps of the two snake scales, suddenly stopped, and inserted itself into them without hesitation.
Cruel and decisive.
The snake let out a hoarse wail.
Xuan Yi jumped down from the snake's forehead, touched the ground with his toes, and landed lightly on the ground. He slashed at the snake's exposed abdomen with a knife.
He asked with a half-smile, "Does it hurt?"
The long snake flapped its tail in pain and rolled over, raising a lot of dust, which choked Mo Jue, who was not far away, and made him cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
He cast a barrier to help Biqing isolate the dust, preventing dust from entering the wound and making it difficult to clean.
Xuan Yi waved his hand, and blue demonic power flew out of his body, transforming into several ropes that bound the snake to the ground.
The snake's belly was completely exposed to Xuan Yi.
"I won't let you die so easily."
With every word Xuan Yi spoke, the blade inserted into the snake's abdomen sank an inch deeper: "That would be too easy for you."
——
Biqing was immersed in the darkness.
She remembered clearly that she was walking with Mingzhu and the cubs when the long snake suddenly appeared and tried to swallow them.
I subconsciously pushed Mingzhu away, and then my feet left the ground and flew into the air. I could hear nothing but the sound of the wind.
Looking around, Biqing was sure that she was dead.
She sighed softly: "Is it a good deed?"
I am a bit pitiful. I died in the demon world and my aunt couldn't find my soul.
After all, no one among Xuanyi and the others knew that Chisong was their aunt.
Even if he knew that they hated his aunt so much, he would not be so kind as to send someone to find her and tell her about their affairs.
"Never mind."
Biqing comforted herself: "Let's just wait for the Black and White Impermanence to come and take me to the Palace of Hell."
Just as he was thinking, a ray of white light broke through the dark environment, causing Biqing to raise her hand to block it.
After she had adjusted a little, the scene before her made her blood surge.
The ground is made of sea of clouds, the beams are made of jade, the roof is made of glazed tiles, the garden is decorated with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and there are fairies wearing colorful hairpins and skirts...
Heaven?!
Biqing took a breath.
No one has ever said that gods can return to heaven after death. Shouldn't they go to the underworld like other living beings?
Biqing curled her lips: The storybooks are all lies!
Soon, she suddenly became happy.
When I die and return to heaven, my parents will definitely be there too!
Biqing ran towards her residence, but she tripped over something and fell to the ground.
“Ouch—!”
The fall was so severe that Biqing burst into tears. She supported herself on the ground with her hands, but what she saw was a pair of children's hands.
Biqing thought she was hallucinating and stared at her own palms.
Open and make a fist.
Open it again, then clench your fist.
Biqing stood up in disbelief: She actually turned back into a child?
Looking up along the sleeves: even the clothes have turned back into the dark green hairpin skirt that I used to wear as a child.
This is a birthday gift that my aunt brought to me when she returned from her travels in the human world.
“Isn’t this Biqing who doesn’t learn countless things?”
There was undisguised sarcasm in the childish and sarcastic voice.
"Jinshe?"
Biqing stood up and patted her skirt, rolling her eyes at the boy in front of her who was about her own age. "What bad luck! Who did I think it was?"
The bamboo in front of me likes to bully its own kind the most.
I was bullied by him a lot when I was a child.
Even though she beat him a lot when he grew up and got back the anger she suffered as a child, she still felt it was not enough.
Biqing walked around the people in front of her, wanting to find her parents whom she had never met.
Jin Xi dodged and blocked Bi Qing's path. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh! Are you going to complain to the Supreme God Chisong? It's a pity that she doesn't come back often."
Jin Xi pronounced the last four words very heavily, fearing that the person in front of her couldn't hear them.
"You're just relying on those old men to back you up!"
Bi Qing snorted and pushed away Jin Xi, who was blocking her way. "Without those old men, you still want to act arrogantly here? Dream on!"
But before her hand could touch the silk, he fell to the ground with a cry of "ouch".
Bi Qing took the opportunity to kick him several times, saying confidently, "I'm already dead, and you're still bothering me! Kicking you is even easier for you! I'm just a ghost now! I don't think you can do anything to me!"
“You you you!”
Jin Xi was in pain from Bi Qing's kick, tears streaming down his face. He scrambled to his feet and shouted, "You're so arrogant! I wonder which god would dare to marry you in the future!"
"Where will my future come from!" Biqing said as she raised her leg and kicked him again.
Jin Xi didn't dare to provoke Bi Qing again, and went back to complain with a sad face.
Biqing knew something was wrong, so she lifted her skirt and jogged along.
She ran around for a long time, her legs almost breaking, but she couldn't even move a few steps from where she was.
Biqing was so anxious that she almost cried.
She wanted to see her parents in person, to know what they looked like, to replace the two palm-sized pieces of cloth in her memory.
When Biqing was extremely anxious, she met a few people from the same tribe who were older than her. They were blocking the middle of the road like bandits.
The shortest one was half a head taller than her.
One of them is Jinxu's cousin, and the rest are his friends.
Biqing tried to use her spiritual power to drive away a few people, but found that she couldn't use any spiritual power at all.
She could clearly feel the spiritual energy flowing through every meridian in her body.
When she looked up again, she was surrounded by several people.
Biqing frowned slightly: It's really a case of when it rains but it pours, I won't be able to rest in peace even after my death!
"You little bamboo! I'll let you bully Ah She!"
A white spiritual power was infinitely enlarged in front of her eyes. Biqing turned sideways to avoid it, but she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
The pain spread to her limbs and bones, as if it was going to tear all the meridians in her body apart, and she fell to the ground in pain.
Just as the spiritual power was about to hit her, a blue light lit up from the center of her abdomen.
Biqing blinked, and the things around her suddenly became blurry. Sometimes it was the face of her fellow tribesmen, and sometimes it was a dark and inexplicable place.
A sudden surge of force shot into her back, coursing through every part of her body.
Biqing felt as if her internal organs were about to be crushed. The pain made her curl up on the ground, with cold sweat pouring down her back.
Suddenly, there was nothing underneath her, and Biqing fell down, startled and screamed "Ah".
