The cave was very, very deep. Mingluo estimated that she had been falling for a long time before she landed steadily.
Once inside, you can't see anything; you can only feel that the surroundings seem incredibly empty.
Immediately afterwards, one candle after another was lit.
Mingluo then realized that this was actually a room decorated in a very antique style.
wrong!
This is an illusion.
Someone has created an illusion here.
Minglu instinctively pulled up Nie Yuchen's sleeve and whispered, "Don't move around, there's ghostly energy here."
The people who created this illusion have made it incredibly realistic. If they make any sudden moves, this illusion could very well turn into a killing maze.
Nie Yuchen's lips curled slightly as he took Mingluo's hand in his own and said in a deep voice, "I won't move. I'll listen to you."
Mingluo was focused on looking around, ignoring the inexplicable emotions in his words.
At this moment, Bai Xiaobai had already disappeared.
Within this array shrouded in ghostly power, the connection between her and Bai Xiaobai seemed to have been severed.
She carefully deduced the illusion and led Nie Yuchen to the designated spot.
The illusion shifted, and a girl's silvery laughter rang out, "Little White, I've caught you!"
Mingluo knew she had made the right choice.
She looked up and saw a girl with bright, sparkling eyes, who was clinging to a man's arm.
The man had silver hair, wicked eyes, and a hint of impatience in his expression. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately refrained from saying anything that would spoil the mood under the girl's hopeful gaze, and simply gave a cold "hmm."
But the girl was not discouraged at all.
She kept talking to the man named Xiaobai.
The man seemed impatient, but he didn't leave.
Minglu guessed that this might be the story between Zou Qingqing and Bai Xiaobai in Zou Qingqing's memory, and that Zou Qingqing after her death had created an illusion from her memories?
Since the illusion cannot be dispelled, she can only patiently finish observing it before searching for a way to break the deadlock.
The scenes in the illusion passed quickly, mostly the most beautiful moments between the two of them in Zou Qingqing's memory.
As time went by, Bai Xiaobai's smile became more and more frequent in the video, and he himself did not realize that his doting on Zou Qingqing had become deeply ingrained.
Later, after Zou Qingqing got angry and ignored him, Bai Xiaobai finally understood his own feelings and made up his mind to confess to Zou Qingqing.
The fox clan has a very unique way of expressing their love.
When a male fox is born, his parents and relatives will plant a peach tree for him.
The peach tree never blossomed until the fox-man found his beloved, and the two came together under the peach tree to witness the blossoming.
Bai Xiaobai led Zou Qingqing to his secret realm, where the peach tree had grown into a towering giant with lush branches and leaves.
The moment Bai Xiaobai placed Zou Qingqing's hand on the peach tree, the enormous peach tree instantly experienced the four seasons: yellowing leaves, falling leaves, budding flowers, and blooming flowers.
The peach trees were in full bloom, their pink and white blossoms swaying and trembling, struggling to express their upward vitality. Petals fluttered down, landing lightly on the two people's heads, shoulders, and hands.
Zou Qingqing, who was in the middle of it, was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Mingluo, watching this scene, also found it beautiful.
This beautiful scenery is comparable to the Vast Heaven Sea and Starry Stream in the God Realm, so why was she so focused on conquest and slaughter back then?
Thinking of this, deep regret enveloped my heart.
However, the thought that a man might slow down her sword-drawing speed...
Or maybe I should just forget it!
Love is something that looks better when other people are talking about it.
Nie Yuchen watched intently, studying and secretly plotting what she should do in the future.
Planting peach trees now is obviously too late, and it would also be suspected of copying others' ideas.
However, he is rich.
Is a diamond rain scenario feasible?
He glanced intently at Mingluo beside him, unsure of what to do.
The scene then shifts again, showing Bai Xiaobai and Zou Qingqing in a sweet romance.
Mingluo could only smell a strong, sour, rotten odor...
Soon, the day of their engagement arrived.
Minglu looked nervous.
Finally, here we are, let's get to the main topic.
She watched intently as Zou Qingqing was called into a room by the Zou family. Inside the room was a man wearing a white coat.
The man took out a pocket watch and made Zou Qingqing stare at it, speaking gently, words that reflected Zou Qingqing's deepest concerns.
"Bai Xiaobai is a thousand-year-old fox demon, while you only have the lifespan of a human. When you grow old, will it still love you?"
"Humans and demons are different, are you able to have children?"
"Other fox spirits are trying to seduce Bai Xiaobai, and you can't beat them in a fight. What will you do if Bai Xiaobai doesn't side with you?"
"Look at me, and I will help you find the answer in your heart."
Soon, Zou Qingqing fell into a deep sleep, and the Zou family members came out and kept whispering the same words in Zou Qingqing's ear.
"Bai Xiaobai lied to you. Kill him and force him to reveal the location of the treasure."
Zou Qingqing struggled anxiously, but she did not wake up. Instead, the fierce look between her brows grew stronger.
Mingluo understood.
They fell silent.
Modern society is indeed different from the past.
She thought Zou Qingqing was under a spell, but she never expected that she was actually deeply hypnotized. Modern psychology proved to be even more effective in its fight against mystical arts.
If Zou Qingqing hadn't revealed the truth through the illusion, Bai Xiaobai probably would never have known the truth in her entire life.
What happened next was just as Bai Xiaobai described.
Under hypnosis, Zou Qingqing cut her wrist and poured her blood into the formation, causing Bai Xiaobai to exhaust her magic power and die.
