Chapter 89 Stop dawdling!
Ning Qi would go to the outskirts of the city to find Zheng Xinyu every day. Xiao Sui would sometimes accompany her, and sometimes, if he couldn't get away, he would have the Demon Group go with her.
The demons always followed her very closely, as if afraid of losing her.
Zheng Xinyu's large patches of bluish-purple skin gradually returned to their normal color, which was enough to show that her spiritual power really had the effect of reversing the state of the corpse demon.
Qianyu and Zhizhi were both very happy, but Zheng Xinyu was a little worried and instructed Ningxi: "Don't tell anyone about this."
“I know.” Ning Qi understood that once someone with ulterior motives discovered her abilities, she would most likely be captured and studied, or even have her spiritual power drained.
"By the way," Ning Qi asked, "Do you have any news about A Ying and A Shen?"
Zheng Xinyu nodded and snapped his fingers into the woods. "You need to be prepared."
The three turned around and saw two men, their clothes torn to shreds and their bodies in strange postures, walking slowly toward them. Most of the flesh on their faces had been lost, as if they had fallen from a great height, and only their former appearance could be vaguely discerned.
It really was A-Ying and A-Shen.
Qianyu immediately covered her mouth and turned her head away.
Zhizhi also found it hard to bear to watch.
Although they didn't attack people, their completely black pupils stared at them with a bloodthirsty desire. They slightly opened their mouths, uttered low sounds, and bared their fangs at them.
“They may have been wandering here for a long time,” Zheng Xinyu said.
“It was five years ago.” Qianyu’s eyes were filled with tears. “They came looking for the princess’s body, and then they never came back. Maybe Xiao Sui turned them into this.”
“It wasn’t Young Master Xiao who did it,” Zhizhi said immediately. “I’ve never seen them before.”
"How can you be so sure that you're with Xiao Sui every single hour of the day?" Qianyu questioned.
“Young Master Xiao would never do such a thing,” Zhizhi said with certainty.
"Alright, stop arguing." Ning Qi stopped the two from talking and asked A Ying and A Shen a few simple questions.
They didn't respond at all, only uttering meaningless syllables.
“They have lost all their senses,” Ning Qi said. “I’ll test if my spiritual power has any effect on these corpse demons. You guys help me control them.”
Zheng Xinyu made a few rhythmic sounds, while Aying and Ashen stood still with empty eyes.
Qianyu and Zhizhi were still not at ease, so they each grabbed one of them.
Ning Qi channeled some of her spiritual energy into the two of them and said to Zheng Xinyu, "I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on them."
“No problem.” Zheng Xinyu agreed immediately. Although she couldn’t speak human voices yet, her speaking speed and tone were becoming more and more like those of an ordinary person.
After finishing all this, it was already quite late. Ning Qi took Qian Yu and Zhi Zhi back to the Demon Palace.
She asked the demon group and was told that Xiao Sui had finished his official business and returned to his bedchamber.
Ning Qi pushed open the door and, as expected, saw a man waiting obediently for her trapped in an iron cage.
His eyes lit up when she came in, then he complained a little, "You always come home so late."
"I'll come earlier next time."
Ning Qi took off her coat, walked into the iron cage, closed the door, and sat directly on Xiao Sui's lap. "I need to check on him today. If he's better, then we'll..."
She breathed into his ear, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Xiao Sui's ears turned bright red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Ning Xi was surprised that he agreed. She blinked. She thought Xiao Sui would make up some other reason to refuse. After all, he refused no matter what a few days ago, saying that the rash had not faded and the whip marks had not disappeared. She had decided to force him no matter what he said. She didn't expect him to agree so easily.
Why didn't he want to do that with her before? What were his concerns?
The temperature inside the cage was very high, accompanied by an intoxicatingly rich aroma, which quickly made her forget her doubts.
Her teeth and fingers were slightly itchy, and she wanted to devour his fragrant flesh whole.
"Why does it smell so good today?" she asked, nibbling at his shoulder in confusion.
"I used aphrodisiac incense," Xiao Sui said, half-removing his clothes.
“No wonder.” Ning Qi squinted, smeared his shoulder with glistening saliva, moved his head, and moved to another spot.
She nibbled at every spot she wanted to nibble on, like a little mouse. The itching in her teeth subsided considerably, and her hands became restless again, mischievously touching him.
Xiao Sui gasped for breath, unable to resist her touch at all, and quickly raised his head.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ning Qi moved her body, lowered her eyes, found a seat, and wanted to sit down, but Xiao Sui pulled her back.
The shackles, cold to the touch, landed on her legs, making her jolted.
Xiao Sui's fingers, however, carried a scorching heat that was hard to ignore.
Ning Qi frowned, leaned against him, and half-closed her eyes. Xiao Sui's lips pressed against hers, drawing most of her attention away from him.
"Okay." A hoarse voice vibrated in her ears as a large hand gripped her waist.
Ning Qi lowered her body and bit Xiao Sui's shoulder, almost tasting the blood.
She gasped repeatedly; it felt so real compared to her dream, and far more difficult than she had imagined.
Xiao Sui's breathing was very rapid, his muscles were tense, and his movements became extremely slow.
The incredibly clear sensation made Ning Qi's eyes widen. She gritted her teeth and whispered in his ear, "Stop dawdling."
Xiao Sui was very patient. Even though fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he still gently soothed her with his lips until she was completely comfortable.
The beads of sweat fell faster with his movements.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but the candles are almost completely burned out. Physiological tears slid down Ning Qi's cheeks and dripped into Xiao Sui's eyes, mingling with his own tears as they fell.
She sighed and hugged him tightly, not wanting to move at all.
Xiao Sui wrapped the two of them in his outer garment and called Zhizhi in, asking her to fetch water for them.
Zhizhi didn't even dare to lift her eyes. She responded and quickly carried the wooden bucket in.
She glanced at the two people in the cage out of the corner of her eye; Young Master Xiao's exposed neck and shoulders were covered in redness and teeth marks.
Oh dear, the princess is really...
She glanced at the princess again; she looked comfortable and had already fallen asleep in Young Master Xiao's arms with her eyes closed.
She pushed the wooden tub to the side of the iron cage, lowered her eyes, and asked, "Your Highness, would you like the key to the handcuffs?"
"No need," Xiao Sui said. "Go out."
Zhizhi quickly left the house, as if someone was chasing her from behind.
Ning Qi rolled over, hugged the narrow waist in front of her, and rubbed her head against his body.
Even though she was awake, she didn't want to get up; Xiao Sui's embrace was just too comfortable.
The two lingered in bed for a long time before the Right Protector found Xiao Sui outside the bedroom, saying he had important matters to discuss.
Ning Qi reluctantly let go of his hand. Xiao Sui kissed her forehead, stood up, and told her to sleep a little longer.
She watched as Xiao Sui left the house, and the scene from last night suddenly flashed into her mind.
At first, the scene was relatively complete, as if in slow motion. Then, at some point, it started to fast-forward, and her vision became fragmented, flashing white light that devoured all her sanity.
Ning Xi covered her head with the blanket. Yesterday... she seemed particularly proactive, and even complained that Xiao Sui was too slow, so she sped up herself.
She turned over, calmed herself down, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Xiao Sui didn't seem to have had enough; he hadn't had a single moment of pleasure.
That shouldn't be happening, why is it taking this long?
He might really have some health problems.
Ning Qi glanced at the small cluster of demonic energy that had drifted in, and then inquired about Xiao Sui's physical condition again.
The demonic flower pondered for a long time, "There is something strange about it. It seems that the Demon God has been trying to cut off his superfluous parts lately."
Ning Qi slowly uttered a question mark.
"Yes, it's that extra part compared to a woman's," the demon group said definitively.
Ning Qi was shocked: "He's gone mad?!"
——
Xie Jingyan's aura suddenly disappeared ten miles outside Huaguang Sect.
Xie Xiyue realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately used a communication talisman to contact Yan Chongyan, "Although Immortal Lord Jingyan is infected by the Corpse Demon, he still possesses human consciousness. He can probably use the teleportation array. I'm currently tracking where he teleported to. What's the situation on your end?"
Yan Chongyan's voice was filled with weariness and sadness, "The corpse demons within the sect have been suppressed, but only about thirty people have survived so far. After I settle them in, I will bring a few people to join you."
“Okay,” Xie Xiyue said. “Among these survivors, there is also a risk of infection. Those with wounds should be isolated immediately.”
“I know,” Yan Chongyan said, and the two ended the communication.
Xie Xiyue sensed the location where Xie Jingyan had disappeared; she was the person who knew Xie Jingyan best.
His spiritual power had completely disappeared, replaced by an unfamiliar demonic energy. She analyzed the demonic energy fluctuations brought by the teleportation array, sensed the distance and direction of the teleportation, and kept comparing them on the map.
Finally, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she got the answer and hurriedly contacted Yan Chongyan, "It seems he went to Yandu! I'll go there to confirm first, please bring people over quickly!"
Yan Chongyan instructed her to only confirm the location and not to act prematurely, and to face Xie Jingyan alone.
Xie Xiyue casually agreed, took out a teleportation array, and teleported to Yandu at top speed.
As soon as she reached the city gate, her heart sank. The city walls should have been heavily guarded, but now they were moving in strange ways and swarming towards her as soon as they heard her.
Xie Xiyue quickly flew up on her sword a short distance. Some of the guards ran too fast and fell off the city wall, attracting the corpse demons outside the city, who devoured their bodies without a care.
It was truly shocking. She felt a sense of foreboding, realizing that Yandu had probably already fallen to the Corpse Demons.
She flew quickly into the city. The once bustling streets were now filled with corpse demons, who would rush over at the slightest sound.
From afar, she saw several living people climbing onto the roof and embracing each other tightly, while four or five corpse demons were watching them menacingly below.
Xie Xiyue descended slightly, clapping her hands to attract the corpse demons and lure them away.
But the closer she flew to the city, the more she realized there were just too many people waiting for rescue, and she couldn't help them all. She could only watch helplessly as one person was surrounded by dozens of corpse demons.
The man looked at her with pleading eyes. Xie Xiyue closed her eyes, pulled out a dagger, and threw it at his throat, giving him a quick death.
She couldn't save Yandu on her own. She hated herself for not being stronger.
The palace not far away was also filled with demonic energy. She could feel that this energy was very similar to the energy Xie Jingyan had before he disappeared, so she immediately sped up and rushed into the palace.
She had been here several times, but none of them had been as chaotic as this time. Whether they were concubines, maids, or eunuchs, they all disregarded palace rules and fled in all directions.
She killed several corpse demons along the way and followed the demonic energy into the Emperor's Liangyi Palace.
But she knew she was too late.
Sitting on the emperor's throne was Xie Jingyan, his face covered in blood.
At his feet, the emperor lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, blood flowing continuously from the large hole in his neck, quickly staining his bright yellow robes red.
