Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Looking for you."
Meng Chi's smile was full of daggers, which made Biqing's scalp tingle, and she didn't dare to relax at all.
Anyone who even believes in someone who steals his citizenship must have some bad ideas in his mind.
In front of him is Meng Chi with butterfly wings, and behind him is a bridge made of fallen trees.
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
Biqing was unable to resist Meng Chi, and she did not dare to run to the bridge rashly, for fear that there was an ambush on the bridge.
Catching a glimpse of the eye-like black spots on Meng Chi's wings, Bi Qing shuddered: "If this doesn't work, where are you going to send me?"
"Miss Biqing is so bright and beautiful, she is truly a top-notch nurture."
Meng Chi's innocent tone was like that of a young boy who had not experienced much of the world. Every word he said was like a sharp arrow, piercing Biqing's heart one after another.
"Nutrients?!" Biqing repeated in disbelief.
"Without nutrients, how can there be such lush forests?"
Meng Chi gazed at the river below the bridge, watching the chrysalis clinging to the back of a tree fall and break in two. “It is the butterflies that have no chance of emerging from their cocoons that nourish this forest, providing a place for us who are struggling to survive.”
His words answered the question Biqing had asked before she rested.
No wonder the leaves on the ground are so brightly colored, it's because of the pupa that fell into the lake...
Her neck suddenly tightened, and Biqing squinted her eyes in pain. She used her hands to grab the black demonic energy wrapped around her neck, and inserted her fingers into the gap between her neck and the demonic energy, prying open a gap to barely maintain her breathing.
"Miss Biqing, I will remember your kindness."
Meng Chi controlled his demonic energy and suspended Bi Qing in mid-air: "No matter whether what is written in the book is true or false, I am not at a loss to have a divine race like you as nourishment."
A cold light filled with murderous intent flashed in the forest. Meng Chi felt a chill in his heart and flew into the air, dodging the creeping cold air that passed by his neck.
It's really thrilling.
The flying sword embedded itself directly in the center of the wooden bridge, splashing countless wood chips.
A blue light passed by him, and Meng Chi calmed down: Biqing, who was restrained by him, was held in someone's arms and fell several feet away from him.
"Dirty."
Xuan Yi condensed his demonic power at his fingertips, tapped them on Biqing's neck, and dissolved Meng Chi's demonic power.
The air rushed into Biqing's nasal cavity like a tide, choking her and causing her to cough repeatedly, with a few tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
After calming herself down, she took in the man in front of her and pushed Xuan Yi, "Let me go! Don't even think about pretending to be Xuan Yi and deceiving me..."
“I actually found this place.”
Meng Chi watched Biqing's actions and sneered at Xuan Yi: "Miss Biqing is a god after all, how could she take advantage of your wolf demon's affections?"
Seeing that the person in front of her was indeed Xuan Yi, Bi Qing's hand that had been trying to push him away instead grasped his clothes tightly, and she asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
"Looking for you."
Biqing was in a trance after hearing these two short words, and a sour feeling surged uncontrollably at the tip of her nose.
She hadn't thought Xuan Yi would come.
"Don't cry. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back." Xuan Yi comforted her simply.
Xuan Yi cast a strong barrier around Bi Qing and rushed to Meng Chi, recalling the sword embedded in the middle of the bridge and placing it on his neck.
His movements were smooth and seamless, not giving Meng Chi any chance to react.
A chill tingled around his neck, and Meng Chi was secretly surprised by Xuan Yi's speed. He twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with regret, "No wonder you managed to get this far."
There was a slight pain in his neck, as if warm liquid was overflowing, burning Meng Chi so much that he shivered.
"You haven't felt tired after walking around in circles all day. You really have plenty of energy."
Meng Chi smiled faintly and disappeared in front of Xuan Yi in an instant: "Do you really think you can do anything to me?"
Xuan Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye he returned to Biqing and protected her behind him.
Biqing covered her abdomen, slightly parted her red lips, and tried her best to slow down and soften her breathing so that Xuan Yi wouldn't notice her discomfort and be distracted.
Xuan Yi listened carefully to the unusual movements around him, and heard the sound of wind vibrations above his head.
Biqing also heard a strange sound she had never heard before. She raised her chin slightly, but Xuan Yi quickly scolded her, "Don't look up!"
The wolf-eating eagles that were chopped into pieces by Xuan Yi flashed through Biqing's mind. She lowered her head halfway up and covered her eyes with her hands.
The butterflies overhead were like a swarm of locusts, swarming around the barrier in a black mass, trapping Xuan Yi and Bi Qing.
Black butterfly powder fell like snow as the butterfly's wings flapped, dyeing the barrier black.
Xuan Yi sneered, "Boring."
"There is no deep hatred between our two clans."
Meng Chi's playful voice echoed outside the barrier: "You only have one chance. Since you just let me go, I will let you go too. You can leave on your own."
"High-sounding."
Xuan Yi rushed out of the barrier, fearlessly exposing himself. "I want to thank you for your butterfly powder. If the black butterfly powder hadn't landed on Biqing's shoulder, I wouldn't have found her so quickly."
Feeling a chill behind him, Xuan Yi drew out his sword with his backhand to shield his back.
A short, crisp sound rang out from behind Xuan Yi, and the blade vibrated uncontrollably. An enormous force seemed to penetrate the blade and into his chest.
Xuan Yi rolled over with the force, twisted his wrist, and used the force to throw a leaf that had hit the blade back in the direction it came from.
The leaf cut through the pupa clinging to the underside of a giant leaf, pierced through a tree as thick as a man's arm, and was deeply nailed into the trunk behind it.
"Extremely pedantic!"
As Meng Chi cursed softly, countless leaves wrapped in demonic energy flew out from the depths of the forest and headed straight towards Xuan Yi.
Each piece was filled with murderous intent, like a sharp thorn, and it would not stop until Xuan Yi's life was taken.
Xuan Yi was indifferent. He took off the embroidered ball tied around his waist and injected it with demonic power.
The blue air current blew away the oncoming leaves and also blew away the black butterfly powder and butterflies wrapped in the barrier.
"If I'm not mistaken, this butterfly powder is extracted from the mist outside Zhaoye Forest."
Xuan Yiluo returned to Biqing and said, "You used up most of the black fog outside Zhaoye Forest, rendering it useless. This caused the long snake to seek out the Zhaoye clan and devour them, causing Biqing to nearly lose her life."
The forest was strangely quiet. After a long while, Meng Chi's voice could be heard from the depths: "So what? Kill me if you have the guts!"
Xuan Yi looked sharply at the woods on his left and rushed in like lightning.
The screams instantly filled the forest, startling the butterflies so much that they flew around like headless flies.
Biqing shuddered, ignoring the larvae wriggling outside the barrier, she lowered her hands and stretched her neck to look towards the woods.
Even though she knew it wasn't Xuan Yi's voice, she still felt worried.
A pale blue light came from beneath her, and Biqing lowered her head: the land beneath her was actually framed by Xuan Yi's barrier, preventing any unknown creatures from drilling out of the ground and crawling onto her.
Biqing bit her lower lip and called softly, "Xuan Yi..."
In the forest, Meng Chi was stabbed through the right shoulder by a horizontal knife and was nailed to a tree trunk in mid-air. Blood flowed down the wound and dyed his clothes red.
The blue demonic power bound his body, and his wings were cut by the sharp blade with several long cuts, from which blood flowed out, leaving black spots.
The clothes on Meng Chi's body were wrinkled into a ball by the rope transformed from Xuan Yi's demonic energy.
Meng Chi grinned, blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth: "Go ahead! Aren't you very capable?"
Xuan Yi sneered, and the moment he put away his knife, he cut off a piece of Meng Chi's wide sleeve: "If I kill you, who will help my people solve the mystery?"
The sleeves fluttered irregularly in the air. When the breeze blew, the fabric flew into the river, quietly waiting to be swallowed by the sticky river water.
Meng Chi raised the corner of his mouth in contempt: "With your ability, it's no problem to break my bewitching spell."
"Keeping you here will be useful."
Xuan Yi asked bluntly, "Why did you trick her into coming here?"
Xuan Yi had been on guard against such mind-deceiving tricks from the very beginning.
Long before Biqing fell asleep, he secretly used his demonic power to resist, but he was still more or less affected.
The blurred images of his parents became clear again. Xuan Yi knew it was an illusion, but he still looked at them with longing.
I looked at it a few more times.
The baby was sleeping soundly in his parents' arms. They waved at him, indicating that he should go forward and see his newborn brother Mo Jue.
Xuan Yi smiled slightly, shook his head, and looked at his infant brother with eyes full of doting.
Everything was as warm as he had hoped in his heart.
It was just as he expected.
Xuan Yi wanted to use his magical power to resolve the scene before him, but suddenly, everything in front of him was replaced by an unfamiliar scene.
The Yaochi Fairy Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. Several fairies carrying fairy fruits and treasures walked through the clouds in an orderly manner and passed in front of Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi's eyebrows moved slightly.
This is the heaven that I will never be able to enter even if I spend my entire life.
Xuan Yi took uncontrollable steps, step by step, towards the depths of the fairyland.
In the mist, a woman in green clothes squatted in the corner, her shoulders shaking and she sobbed.
Xuan Yi stopped where he was and did not go forward to disturb them.
The sobbing stopped, and the woman stood up, with a red nose, and walked through Xuan Yi's body.
Xuan Yi's pupils widened and he woke up instantly.
His coat was still there, but the Biqing people were nowhere to be seen.
Xuan Yi picked up his coat and prepared to put it on, but a speck of black powder on the grey collar caught his attention.
He followed the scent left by the black disc powder and a faint smell of blood, and finally saw Biqing.
"I tricked her into coming here because I wanted to use her identity to help me ascend to immortality and save my people from danger."
Meng Chi lowered his head and said disdainfully, "You care so much about Miss Biqing, why don't you get there first? If you marry her, you can ascend to heaven and become an immortal. Then you will have clean water at your fingertips, and you won't have to wander around with your people."
"Dream less."
Meng Chi's words left Xuan Yi speechless. He said, "How ridiculous that you actually believed such groundless talk."
"Do you think I want to believe it?"
Meng Chi raised his eyes and stared at the person in front of him: "But what can I do?"
I don't know if he is asking Xuan Yi or himself.
Xuan Yi understood his helplessness and said coldly, "That's not a reason for you to have evil thoughts about Bi Qing."
Xuan Yi sneered disdainfully, "Incompetent."
"How can you understand the situation of our clan!"
Meng Chi's dark eyes instantly turned red, and he screamed hysterically: "You wolf demons are not afraid of the severe cold and can still find a piece of pure land! But what about us! We don't have warm fur! We don't have agility and speed! Where can we hide!"
"Without the nourishment of sunlight, our wings are far weaker than before, unable to support us to fly far away. We can only stay in the forest and linger!"
Meng Chi burst into tears: "There is a food shortage in the demon world. In order to survive, we have to eat the food nourished by our tribe every day. How do we feel?"
Meng Chi completely ignored the knife piercing his shoulder and struggled like crazy.
An inch of blood-stained blade was exposed between his back and the tree trunk.
“I’m just incompetent!”
He said viciously, "Young Wolf Demon, you're pretending to be a saint and criticizing me! If you take Miss Biqing with you, the road ahead will only become more difficult! Why not turn her into food and feed her to my people now? That would be worthy of her divine status!"
"You care so much about your people! Why don't you turn yourself into food?"
