Chapter 40 Chapter 40 [VIP]
As Ling Suye had guessed, the small island in the middle of the lake was covered with tribute mermaid pearls.
When Gu Xuanyou saw this, he was shocked beyond words.
Ling Suye dived down with him and counted exactly thirty, no more, no less, and put them in a brocade bag.
Then Gu Xuanyou brought Ling Suye up.
The process of taking it was so smooth that not only Gu Xuanyou, but even Ling Suye felt that what was about to greet them would probably be a thundering disaster.
After all, according to the master, this is the key to breaking the deadlock.
·
Ling Suye's body was not used to staying underwater for a long time, but he could roughly sense the depth of the water.
Now, he just felt that Gu Xuanyou had been taking him upstream for a long time, but they had not yet reached the water surface.
This is probably an underwater ghost wall.
He pulled Gu Xuanyou and pointed towards the island in the middle of the lake, meaning that they should just go to the island in the middle of the lake, as there might be a way out.
Sure enough, as they got closer to the island in the middle of the lake, the lake water seemed to disappear. Ling Suye simply threw away the bamboo pole that helped him breathe, stretched out his hand, and touched the island in the middle of the lake.
The next moment, his hand seemed to be grasped by someone, followed by a huge force, and Ling Suye was almost pulled into the mud of the island in the middle of the lake!
Gu Xuanyou was startled and hurried to grab Ling Suye, but he could not withstand the pressure from the other party and was grabbed away.
In front of him was a long corridor. Looking up, he could see the ripples of blood-red moonlight on the water, which made Ling Suye more certain that he was underwater.
"Let's go." Ling Suye said.
As he finished speaking, the room next to them suddenly lit up with a strange green light.
In the books of monster hunters, this is the prelude to the appearance of a great monster.
"Go—"
But it was too late. The side door was wide open, and Ling Suye could see a bean of green light resting steadily on the table, as if waiting for someone to come in.
He tried to take a small step to the side, but a fierce demonic energy attacked him and cut his wide sleeves in half.
If he took a big step, he would be broken in half.
Ling Suye:......
In that case, I can only go in with gritted teeth.
The room was neither big nor small. Inside was a desk, a step-out bed covered with a red curtain, and an altar by the window with two white candles on it.
The big white flower in the baboon's hand was now worn on Ling Suye's chest at some point.
He clearly didn't see anyone, nor did he sense any demonic aura, but it felt like a pair of hands were holding his hands.
Ling Suye, who had seen many big storms, was also frightened by this scene.
The invisible 'person' seemed to sense his fear and spoke: "Don't be afraid, you are my wife, how could I hurt you."
The voice was quite kind, but it did have the air of an elderly person.
After a pause, the invisible 'person' seemed to look at Gu Xuanyou. Gu Xuanyou was also terrified because the 'person' said: "Is this your dowry maid? She is also very pretty. Your family is really thoughtful. Two people are here to serve together. Don't worry, I will pay for your family's pearls in the future."
——This must be the Prince Tang.
Prince Tang is so close, should I put a drop of blood from my fingertips between his eyebrows?
Ling Suye had already used it on the original owner's mother's head before. The people in Du'e Division were very familiar with the effects of his blood. He would only use it once more now.
There are several guesses lingering in Ling Suye's mind now - the candidate for the Lord of the Demon Realm. His first guess is his younger brother A Zhan, and the second is the Prince Tang who he met for the first time.
Who between the two of them is the master of the demon realm?
He only has one chance left, otherwise he will consume too much blood and will definitely arouse Du'esi's suspicion.
Once there is any doubt about his identity, it will be of no benefit to him in going to the capital in the future.
Therefore, he must be extremely cautious.
Is the person in front of me the owner of such a vast demon domain?
Ling Suye didn't have much information to infer, so he could only think based on his feelings - it wasn't Prince Tang!
Seeing that Ling Suye was about to be pulled towards the bed, he plucked the big white flower from his chest and threw it accurately onto the green bean-sized flame.
In an instant, the whole house was shrouded in a green light, and the evil spirit was everywhere, and the level of danger rose sharply.
Ling Suye pulled Gu Xuanyou towards him and said, "Swim upstream, quickly."
Prince Tang's furious roar came from the room behind him, but the evil fire ignited by the white flower caused too much damage to him, and he was unable to come out to chase and kill the two people for a while.
The two jumped out of the corridor and returned to the water again. This time, they did not encounter any obstacles in the water, but successfully surfaced.
Gu Xuanyou finally had time to ask his first question: "Master, what do you think of Du'e Si..."
So familiar.
It was so familiar that even he, a newcomer to the Du'e Division, was shocked.
——'Between Heaven and Earth' is the most valuable magic weapon of Du'e Division. Most people would not know how to use it, and it is even more impossible for them to know where Du'e Division usually keeps the tools.
"I think you already have the answer in your heart." Ling Suye looked straight at him, his eyes clear and calm, as if he was the same boy with clear eyes eleven years ago.
The past of that very familiar person that Gu Xuanyou had hidden in his heart for many years unfolded before his eyes like a montage.
The most outstanding young monster catcher.
He was admitted to the Du'e Division with the first place.
Yet, just three months later, they were caught up in a tragic massacre. It's said that those who wiped out the entire Ling family didn't gain any benefits, because this young man finally used his bloodline's forbidden innate talent, the 'Demon Fusion', to fuse the countless surrounding demon realms together, leaving his enemies utterly annihilated.
However, some enemies still escaped. After all, the pair of eyes that were dug out were said to still exist in the world.
This was all the information Gu Xuanyou learned after making inquiries from various sources.
He vowed to avenge his fiancé's family no matter what.
He even planned to remain a widow for the rest of his life.
Until later I met my master and fell in love with him.
But he never dared to have any improper thoughts about his master. As long as he could accompany his master and be the most handy knife in his hand, he would be extremely satisfied.
However, he never expected that his master, who was swallowed by the monster after "melting into the monster", was still alive!
"My...fiancé." Gu Xuanyou blurted out these five words in extreme shock.
Ling Suye raised his eyebrows but didn't refute.
He said, "One question per person. How did you get here?"
His words tacitly agreed with Gu Xuanyou's statement.
Gu Xuanyou seemed to have returned to the days when he was Ling Suye's slave, following each instruction and moving forward: "The eldest princess arranged for me to enter the Du'e Division."
This was also the reason why he was able to appear with Xie Qingnian at that time.
"As Sheng Li?" Ling Suye asked subconsciously.
Gu Xuanyou shook his head: "I changed my name to Gu Xuanyou."
"That's good," Ling Suye murmured, "It seems she didn't make things difficult for you."
"It's not difficult, but she always gives me a very familiar feeling. However, with my identity, if I want to see the eldest princess, I have to see her through a screen and a gauze curtain, and I can't see her appearance clearly." Gu Xuanyou said.
He has not yet recovered from the shock of knowing that his master is his fiancé, and he feels like he is floating in the clouds.
It can only rely on its body instinct to follow its master's steps.
He completely forgot that his master had been sitting in a sedan chair and was completely unfamiliar with the route here.
However, Ling Suye does not need help from others to break the demon domain - except in places with water.
He said to Gu Xuanyou, "I feel something in the water on you. Take care of yourself. Prince Tang will break free from the room later and will definitely come after us. I will first figure out the route. I have to go to the lake island again later. But this time, it's on the lake island, not in the mud."
Gu Xuanyou was completely baffled by the Demon Realm, but he had one advantage: he wasn't as questionable as Xie Qingnian. He knew his master had asked him to be a knife, and a knife wouldn't ask questions; it would only say, "Yes, Master."
·
The two did not leave the yard, but walked along the wall. This was the Ling family's usual method of surveying the demon realm.
In this way, a complete map of the distribution of the demon domain and the concentration of demonic energy will appear in the minds of the Ling family, and they will have a direction to escape when encountering a fatal crisis.
Across the wall, Ling Suye heard the familiar voice of Xie Qingnian: "Boss! Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Xuanyou obviously heard it as well, but what followed was the clanging sound of cold weapons colliding. It seemed that Zhou Zhi and Xie Qingnian still had the strength to fight.
After passing an extremely gloomy pavilion, the sounds of fighting outside the mansion could no longer be heard.
At the same time, Ling Suye felt the demonic energy in the lake grow thicker and thicker. He glanced over and saw that the water was no longer rippling, but had become viscous and dark, like a pool of blood that had been congealed for days.
"The things in the lake are completely enraged." Ling Suye said.
He looked towards the center of the lake, his eyes solemn. "I have a hunch that he's not the Demon Realm Lord, but he's one of the most difficult demons here to deal with. Only by avoiding the slaughter at his hands can we lure out the true Demon Realm Lord. Gu Xuanyou, this is a huge gamble. If we lose, we might die together."
Gu Xuanyou said without hesitation: "I believe in the master."
He then added, "I won't let anything happen to my master."
Ling Suye looked at his stomach and didn't say anything.
He had just drunk too much lake water. Although he had induced Gu Xuanyou to vomit, the things in the lake took root and sprouted too easily, and no one knew what impact it would have in the future.
But now was not the time to think about that. A faint eerie green light shone from beneath the pitch-black lake surface, while at the same time, bizarre delirium spread out, gradually entering the human brain.
"Bride, the auspicious time is almost here, come down and get married."
"As long as you give birth to the child, your family's pearl will not have to be handed over in person, and your brother can rest assured."
This was the third time Ling Suye heard the word "brother".
He always felt that the possibility of his 'brother' being the Lord of the Demon Realm was much greater than that of Prince Tang. Although he could not be 100% sure, he could only take a gamble at this moment.
"There's a boat here. Let's go to the island in the middle of the lake."
That’s where the real marriage happens.
The rowing process was not smooth. The oily green lights under the water were like small hands trying to pull the boat over.
However, Gu Xuanyou had the talisman distributed by the Du'e Division to every on-duty personnel. If he stuck it on the boat, he could hold out for a while.
By the time the two men stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake, the bottom of the boat had been burned through by the green flames, and they could smell an extremely rotten smell.
Ling Suye looked in the moonlight and could see things that looked like the handprints of the children by the boat.
Is it true that Prince Tang is unable to have children?
Ling Suye thought so.
He felt that the situation was becoming complicated, but the clues he had obtained were not many and he could not connect everything together.
At the moment when the boat was completely overturned, Ling Suye thought he heard the giggling of a baby.
But when they found that there was no one on the boat, their laughter immediately turned into crying.
——Those evil fires were completely enraged.
Black liquid several feet high was stirred up underwater, and Ling Suye and Gu Xuanyou ran for their lives.
The island in the middle of the lake wasn't large, and the only shelter was a small room. As the two entered, they clearly remembered lifting their feet, but they tripped over the threshold and fell hard onto the soft red quilt.
The red dragon and phoenix candles by the window crackled, and the light in the room became even dimmer.
Ling Suye noticed that there was something strange about the candle incense and immediately held his breath. He was about to remind Gu Xuanyou, but the fragrance seemed to have some reaction with the water he had just drunk. His exposed neck and cheeks began to turn red, and his hands and feet began to feel sore and weak.
Fortunately, Gu Xuanyou still had a trace of consciousness. His eyes were red, and the upturned corners of his eyes seemed to have a seductive charm, but he still struggled and said, "Master, please, tie me up."
The author has something to say:
I have a dream of updating twice a day, woohoo, have a nice weekend my darlings.
