I remember everything from Chapter 93.
After some time, Ningqi noticed that there were more and more monks near the village.
She heard from Aunt Wang next door that these monks were looking for someone.
"They said they were looking for some princess," Aunt Wang said while picking vegetables. "You know, it's strange how people like that. Why would they give up being a princess and run away? I bet some random guy tricked them away."
After saying that, she looked up and asked, "By the way, where are you from?"
Ning Qi felt a chill run down her spine when she met her gaze. Although she would draw some spots on her face every day to disguise herself, and people who didn't know her well would definitely not recognize her, these cultivators would investigate carefully and would surely find her out soon.
She forced a smile. "You forgot? It was in Heisei County, you know. My husband beat me, that's why I ran away."
"Oh, right, right." Aunt Wang didn't delve into it further and continued rambling on, "This princess has never suffered. If you ask me, there's no need to look for her at all. She'll obediently go back in a while."
Ning Xi left that very night. No one came looking for her in the days immediately after she left. Now that Yan Chongyan is seriously injured and has remembered her, it might be because she is still alive. These people want to take her back and execute her.
She lived a long life of hiding, and whenever a cultivator appeared nearby, she would change her location. In just three years, she had already traveled through most of the territory.
Her cultivation level began to slowly improve, and she broke through the Foundation Establishment stage.
He wasn't particularly talented, but at least he was better than someone who had no cultivation at all in the Huaguang Sect.
She didn't know how she could start cultivating, and suspected it was because she had deviated from the plot of the storybook.
With her rudimentary skills, she managed to slip away from the cultivators' noses several times.
Later, she was almost caught and fell off a cliff, but was rescued by an old man with great cultivation, and she became his disciple.
Her master was a reclusive sage who took her back to the mountain where she cultivated and protected her. Other cultivators dared not go up the mountain, thus saving her from having to travel around.
Her master said she had escaped one calamity, but there was still another one in her destiny that she could not overcome. Her master could only protect her for the last few years, after which she would have to rely on herself.
Ning Qi felt that it would be good to live a few years of peaceful life. Serving her master, she advanced her cultivation to the Golden Core stage.
Five years later, her master passed away. After giving her a proper burial, she did not want to bring disaster to this place, so she went down the mountain and continued her escape.
But a dramatic change occurred at the foot of the mountain. The demon race grew stronger, and the demonic energy spread, causing people to bite each other for no reason. Those bitten would also have the same symptoms, and they were no different from the living dead.
She unfortunately encountered one in the wild, which lay in the grass and bit her ankle without warning. She quickly killed the corpse demon, thinking that her calamity had come, but unexpectedly discovered that she could not be infected.
She inquired about some news from the Huaguang Sect: True Person Jingyan ascended to the Immortal Realm, Yan Chongyan went to the Immortal Realm to cultivate, and the Emperor adopted True Person Jingyan's daughter as his goddaughter.
Everyone kept moving forward, and it seemed that no one wanted to bring her back anymore.
Eight years after leaving Huaguang Sect, she began to live a normal life and socialize normally. Although she had some savings left to her by her master, she rarely used them unless absolutely necessary. She often went to nearby cities to do odd jobs and earn some living expenses.
During one of her missions, she unfortunately encountered cultivators from the Huaguang Sect. One of them recognized her, and the group tried to coerce and entice her to return to the Huaguang Sect.
Ning Qi refused and led them into the pile of corpse demons to get rid of them.
But some of these people must have returned to Huaguang Sect. The place she had just settled in was found, and Xie Jingyan was waiting for her to return.
"Princess, why did you run away?" Xie Jingyan looked at her with displeasure, full of reproach. "You have no idea how much trouble your escape has caused."
Ning Qi didn't speak, but stared at him with her eyes.
Xie Jingyan made no attempt to hide his disgust for her. "I brought you here to take the fall for Xiyue and help Chongyan regain his divine power. It was a flawless plan, so why did you run away! Now look what's happened. Xiyue's health is deteriorating, and Chongyan has failed to regain his divine power. Corpse demons are rampant in the mortal realm, and no one can stop them."
Ning Qi didn't quite understand, but she knew in her heart that running away was the right choice.
"However, you still have one last use." Xie Jingyan's eyes flashed with cold light. "The Demon Lord is dead, and the Demon Race has produced a new Demon God. I will send you as a hostage."
Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief. In the mortal realm, she often had to evade the pursuit of cultivators, but going to the demon realm was much more peaceful.
Besides, since she went there as a hostage, it's unlikely that the new demon god would kill her.
Of course, she didn't expect that the first time she met the Demon God, she would be fed to demonic insects and turned into a corpse demon.
Fortunately, she was unaffected.
She became Xiao Sui's personal maid in the Demon Realm, and her life wasn't too bad.
Moreover, ever since Xiao Sui helped her break free from the aphrodisiac, he seems to really enjoy doing it, often pulling her along to cheer her up like that time.
She often covered Xiao Sui's head, sat on him, and admired his taut, powerful body.
When she was in high spirits, she would grab his clothes tightly, making his high nose bridge clearly visible under the black cloth. He would open his mouth wide, his neck turning red from holding his breath, and at this time his movements would become even more reckless.
Ningxi really enjoys playing like this, but there's still some trouble afterward; she has to drink a contraceptive soup.
She didn't hide this from Xiao Sui, and Xiao Sui didn't react much, which was equivalent to her tacitly agreeing to it.
After three or four times, Xiao Sui came to question her.
Ning Qi was somewhat surprised, "We're not married, it would be strange if we had a child, wouldn't it?"
Xiao Sui stared straight at her, seemingly relieved, and then said something surprising: "Do you want to marry me?"
Ning Xi thought about it for two days and realized that she liked him too, so she agreed.
The two got married very quickly, faster than she expected.
Ning Qi was very satisfied with her married life. She no longer needed to practice the demonic cultivation techniques and could continue to cultivate spiritual power. She did not want children for the time being and continued to drink the contraceptive soup. Xiao Sui did not object. When she was bored, she wanted to go to the mortal world to do missions, and Xiao Sui agreed to let her go.
However, the situation in the mortal realm deteriorated again. Most of the cities were occupied by the Corpse Demons, leaving only Huaguang Sect and Yanwei unconquered. These were the only two safe points, and almost all the survivors gathered here.
In contrast, the Demon Realm is like a paradise. Although there are also Corpse Demons, Xiao Sui can control them to be non-aggressive, so that the demons will not be harmed by the Corpse Demons.
Later, some capable cultivators went to the Immortal Realm, while others joined the Demon Clan. Very few remained in the mortal realm, leaving only ordinary people with no cultivation to suffer.
Ningxi's body began to experience some minor discomfort, such as muscle soreness and weakness in her limbs. She thought it was just from catching a cold and didn't pay much attention to it.
As her relationship with Xiao Sui grew stronger, she stopped drinking the contraceptive soup and was soon diagnosed as pregnant by the magic doctor. Her previous discomfort was now understood and dispelled by joy.
She and Xiao Sui eagerly awaited the arrival of their child.
She heard that Yandu in the mortal realm had also fallen, with only Huaguang Sect remaining as the last home for survivors. Even in the immortal realm, corpse demons had appeared, spreading at the same speed as in the mortal realm.
Ning Xi felt that these things had nothing to do with her, but her physical discomfort was getting worse. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and her whole body ached, even her bones felt painful. It didn't seem to be caused by pregnancy alone.
Her belly grew bigger every day, but she became thinner and thinner.
Xiao Sui panicked and wanted the demonic doctor to abort the child, but the demonic doctor said that this would cause more harm to the mother.
He felt extremely guilty but was helpless. He could only watch as Ning Qi tried to recover by following the prescription given by the demonic doctor, but it was to no avail. Ning Qi's health deteriorated, and she could no longer even get out of bed.
“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have…” Xiao Sui held her hand and placed it on his face, wetting the back of her hand.
Ning Qi struggled to raise her hand; she had very little strength left. "It's not because of you, I also want this child."
Xiao Sui shook his head, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze obsessive. "I shouldn't have let it appear. I'm the one who ruined you."
"No, it's not because of it." Although Ning Xi didn't know why her health had suddenly deteriorated, she intuitively felt that it wasn't directly related to pregnancy.
Xiao Sui clearly didn't listen. The black figures told her that she was harming her own body and even wanted to cut the object off.
Ning Qi was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Xiao Sui tried everything he could, even going to the celestial realm to seek medicine, but he couldn't stop Ning Qi's life from slipping away.
On the night Huaguang Sect was attacked by the Corpse Demon, she gradually stopped breathing in Xiao Sui's arms, before she could give birth to the child in her womb.
Ning Xi slowly opened her eyes. So that's how it was. She remembered everything.
"Princess." Xiao Sui's worried face overlapped with the one in her dream, making her feel somewhat dazed. She finally understood why he always refused to do "that" with her now.
Ning Xi punched his arm and said angrily, "I told you long ago that my deteriorating health has nothing to do with pregnancy, don't you still believe me?"
Xiao Sui's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, almost speechless, and after a long while he asked, "You...you know everything?"
Ning Qi nodded. "I saw it all when I broke through."
Xiao Sui lowered his eyes and said uneasily, "I'm sorry, I treated you so badly back then."
Ning Xi didn't feel anything, but it was indeed worse than it was now. She went along with his words and said, "In that case, you should make it up to me even more."
“I understand,” Xiao Sui said solemnly.
Ning Qi summoned the system; she had two questions for it.
"Why did you erase my memories and fabricate the illusion that I am a transmigrator? Why did my body deteriorate so rapidly?"
The system paused for a moment, then her memories were completely unlocked; it could no longer hide them. "The world collapse you witnessed was because of your awakening. You are a crucial tool in the book, and you must transfer divine power to the male protagonist so that he can save the world. Without your divine power, the male protagonist cannot save those infected by the Corpse Demon, cannot continue the plot to become a Celestial Venerable, and cannot even defeat the Demon God. I simply want you to follow the correct plot so that the male protagonist can obtain divine power, so that the world can function normally and the male protagonist can save more lives."
Ning Qi gave a sarcastic laugh. "Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The system remained silent.
"Then why did my health suddenly deteriorate? Will I repeat the same mistake this time?"
"This matter is also closely related to divine power. Your divine power is tied to the survival of all things in the mortal world. You possess divine power but failed to save those mortals. When there are few mortals left, your life will also disappear. This is the reason why your body is rapidly decaying."
"You mean, I either have to give my abilities to the male lead, or I have to use my abilities to save the mortal realm so that I can survive?" Ning Qi asked.
The system did not give a definite answer, but only said: "You don't have the protagonist's halo."
Ning Qi stared in disbelief. "You mean I might die no matter what?"
