Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Lu Rong, Don’t Go
Lu Rong's heart trembled when she heard these words. She looked into his eyes, which were filled with joy of regaining what she had lost.
She couldn't understand his emotions for a moment, because it was clearly him who asked Ye Tang to erase her memory.
"Rongrong, do you remember me?" Zhou Li's eyes fell into hers, usually calm but now gleaming with light. "You remember."
Lu Rong's lips flushed with passion, her eyes reddening. "I should have forgotten you like everyone else. That's what you want."
Zhou Li felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this. He held her in his arms and said, "No."
Lu Rong pushed him away violently, her eyes moist. "What's that? You pushed me directly to the opposite side of you. You never thought I would stand with you!"
It was the first time Zhou Li saw her so angry. She always had a good temper.
"Zhou Li, you said you'd always love me." She lowered her head and bit his shoulder hard, "But this isn't the kind of love I want."
Zhou Li let her bite him to vent her anger, stroking her hair. It was the first time he liked someone and he used the most clumsy way to protect her.
He just didn't want to embarrass Lu Rong and Lu Wen, so he cooperated with Ye Tang.
The pollen of the nightshade flower has a special function that can tamper with people's memory.
"I'm sorry, I don't dare." Zhou Li had a lot of things he wanted to explain in his heart, but looking at her red eyes from crying, the only thing he could say was an apology.
Lu Rong knew that Zhou Li was in trouble. She didn't want an explanation from him, she just wanted an apology from him. She wanted him to understand that no matter whether this was right or wrong, it should not happen between them.
"Zhou Li, were those things you told me before true?" She looked into his eyes and asked seriously, as if trying to confirm whether what happened before was a dream.
"Every word I said is true." He gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
"But now that you have left Xuanyang Sect, how can you like me?" Lu Rong's words made Zhou Li's eyes move slightly.
He lowered his head and touched her nose with his: "I will go back and marry you."
She stepped back a few inches and said, "Who are you to marry me? The Emperor of the demon world? You clearly know that's impossible."
"I will make everyone agree." Zhou Li's words have always been true.
Lu Rong was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Li had a lot to do. He patted her head and gave her a reassuring smile: "I won't hurt any of you."
Lu Rong felt a bad feeling in his heart. If he didn't hurt anyone, did it mean that he wanted to hurt himself?
"Zhou Li, are you planning to use the same trick again? No." She shook her head and held his arm tightly, feeling a little panicked. Then she felt something sticky under her palm.
When Lu Rong withdrew his palm, he saw bright red blood on it.
She hurriedly pulled up his sleeves and saw the mottled scars on them, each deep enough to see the bone, and bright red blood on the cold white skin.
Her fingertips trembled: "How did these injuries come about?"
"I got hurt accidentally." Zhou Li wanted to take his hand back.
Lu Rong grabbed his hand back, her expression full of worry: "Are you trying to suppress your estrus and then hurt yourself?"
Zhou Li said nothing, but just gently stroked her face with his palm, with tenderness in his eyes. The next moment, his hand was slapped away by Lu Rong.
Lu Rong's face was filled with sadness: "At this point, are you still hiding this from me?"
Zhou Li looked at her hurt eyes and said helplessly: "Rongrong, I know you are very angry."
Lu Rong was indeed very angry at the moment, and after hearing this, she became even more displeased: "I am indeed very angry! Since you want to hide it, then just continue like this!"
After saying that, she pushed him away, stood up and left.
Zhou Li felt his arms suddenly empty. He wanted to pull her back, but seeing her angry look, he didn't dare to be presumptuous for a moment.
He just stood up and followed her out. After sending Lu Rong to the door of the room, he wanted to say something else, but the door slammed shut, blocking his sight.
The sound of Lu Rong closing the door attracted Qiu Ling's attention. Qiu Ling opened the door and stuck his head out. Seeing the man standing at Lu Rong's door, he was a little surprised for a moment.
She asked, "Why are you standing at Rongrong's door? Are you two secretly having an affair?"
At this time, Lu Rong's door was opened. She didn't look at Zhou Li and said to Qiu Ling, "No! I'm not familiar with him! I don't know him!"
Qiu Ling and Lu Rong have been friends for many years and know her personality, so there must be a connection.
She didn't ask any more questions, but just covered her lips, nodded honestly, and closed the door.
Lu Rong also wanted to close the door, but Zhou Li reached out and pressed the door. She pushed forward hard, but she couldn't shake Zhou Li.
Zhou Li deliberately didn't let her close the door, and the two of them stood inside and outside the door looking at each other.
"What are you doing!" She was furious and looked unhappy.
Zhou Li just lowered his eyes and looked at her, whispering: "No matter what happened between us, I will always love only you, this sentence will always be true."
Lu Rong was a little shaken by such a tender offensive, but thinking of how he had concealed the truth from her again and again, she ruthlessly closed the door, leaving only a sentence: I will only believe you for the last time.
Zhou Li stood at Lu Rong's door for a long time before turning around and leaving. Minhui's door opened at this time, and he looked at Lu Rong's closed door with a curious look in his eyes.
What is the relationship between Lu Rong and this man of unknown origin?
On the first night in Pingxiang Town, the sky in the deserted town was a terrifying red. It was late at night, but the house was filled with a blood-red color.
Lu Rong was lying in bed, having trouble falling asleep. When she heard the sound of a door opening outside, she hurriedly got up and walked out. Seeing the other three, she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I was simply unable to sleep due to the shock, and it was also extremely hot." Qiu Ling shrugged.
Shock? Lu Rong didn't feel it.
She stood for a moment and then felt the shaking of the ground.
She remembered Zhou Li saying that this was caused by the seeds growing out of the ground.
Her room was calm, even cool.
She looked up and knew it was Zhou Li who did it.
He was always so attentive and considerate to her.
"Let's go out and see what's going on outside." Senior Brother Lin suggested.
"But Zhou Li said not to go out tonight." Lu Rong reminded him. There must be a reason why Zhou Li said that.
"Why should we listen to him?" Senior Brother Minhui stared at Lu Rong when he said this.
Lu Rong felt guilty watching this.
"I just think that since he reminded me, there must be a reason." Lu Rong explained.
"This man's origins are unknown, Rong'er, you'd better stay away from him."
Lu Rong understood what Senior Brother Min Hui meant and was speechless for a moment: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not affect everyone's safety."
"Rong'er, that's not what I meant."
Lu Rongcai never indulged anyone. He placed his hands on his chest and said, "Besides, Zhou Li was just giving a reminder. He meant well."
"Okay, okay, Rongrong can't sleep anyway, let's go and take a look together." Qiu Ling intervened, holding Lu Rong's hand and signaling her with his eyes not to be angry.
Senior Brother Lin also said, "Rongrong, Senior Brother Minhui is also worried about your safety."
"Yes, I just think the other party has bad intentions towards you."
Lu Rong thought, he definitely has bad intentions towards me.
Having said that, Lu Rong didn't say anything more. He just advised: "The situation in Pingxiang Town is dangerous. Let's wait until daybreak before taking any action."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the house without saying anything else.
The three of them looked at each other, and Qiu Ling said to Senior Brother Minhui, "Why don't we wait until daybreak and see."
"Zetian and I will go take a look. You and Rong'er stay here so that you can take care of each other." Minhui quickly made arrangements and left with Senior Brother Lin.
Lu Rong didn't hear their discussion in the room. When she was lying on the bed and trying to fall asleep, Qiu Ling came to her first.
Qiu Ling didn't hesitate to lie down beside her and asked curiously, "Rongrong, what is your relationship with that Zhou Meinan?"
"I don't know him." Lu Rong replied lazily with his eyes half closed.
Qiu Ling: "Huh? He was standing at your door for quite a while."
Lu Rong thought about what Zhou Li had just said to him and muttered, "He deserves it."
Qiu Ling didn't hear clearly, so he asked again: "What?"
"Maybe he fell in love with me at first sight and kept pestering me." Lu Rong could only make up a story.
"I think Senior Brother Minhui's worries are not unnecessary. This person seems to be so outstanding, but we have never heard of his name." Qiu Ling said to her.
Lu Rong knew what Qiu Ling meant: "Don't worry, Ah Ling, he won't hurt us, I promise."
Qiu Ling was puzzled: "Why do you trust him so much?"
Because, he is Zhou Li.
Lu Rong put his hand over her lips and said, "Okay, don't ask."
Qiu Ling was silent for a while before asking again, "You seem to be worried lately."
Lu Rong turned to look at her: "A Ling, if someone chooses to make you forget everything in order to protect you, including him, would you be sad?"
"It's not that sad, it depends on whether he has no other choice. If this is the best option, then you will choose to do it too."
Qiu Ling's words made Lu Rong silent. She put her hands behind her head and said, "Indeed, if it were me, I would choose to do the same."
What's more, Zhou Li, from childhood to adulthood, apart from her father, he is the only one who protects her in every possible way.
"Who are you talking about?" Qiu Ling asked curiously, "Could it be Zhou Meinan?"
Lu Rong responded vaguely: "Maybe."
"What do you mean by maybe?" Qiu Ling was even more confused.
Lu Rong didn't want to answer anymore. Suddenly, the sharp cries of birds came from all directions, even with a bit of mournful sound.
She and Qiu Ling sat up suddenly, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.
Lu Rong hurriedly asked her, "What happened?"
Qiu Ling's expression changed. "Senior Brother Minhui and Senior Brother Lin are out. I'll use the jade token to ask about their situation."
"Didn't I tell you not to go out?" Lu Rong hurriedly got out of bed. "Don't be afraid. I'll go find Zhou Li. You contact them first."
As she spoke, she ran out. The birds outside were chirping even more sharply and shrilly, and even flames were burning. The silent ruins suddenly changed into a different look.
Lu Rong hurriedly ran upstairs and wanted to call Zhou Li, but when he got upstairs, he found that Zhou Li had already opened the door and walked out. He anxiously wanted to ask what Zhou Li was doing now.
Zhou Li just said to her: "It's okay, wait for me at the inn."
"My senior brothers..." Lu Rong wanted to explain, but Zhou Li rubbed her head and comforted her, "I know you persuaded them."
Lu Rong nodded. Zhou Li saw the uneasiness in his eyes and smiled a little: "Why don't you seem so worried about me?"
Lu Rong didn't expect him to say such words at this time, and glared at him.
Just from this one look, Zhou Li could sense that Lu Rong's mood had calmed down, no longer as angry as before. He said again, "Wait for me at the inn. I'll take care of this matter."
Lu Rong nodded obediently and said, "You must be careful."
Zhou Li responded, put his hand on the back of her neck, and his eyes fell on her lips.
Lu Rong instantly realized his purpose and turned his face slightly.
In the end, Zhou Li just pinched her face and left the inn to find Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Minhui.
"Lu Rong?" Qiu Ling heard the noise upstairs and called Lu Rong a few times.
Only then did Lu Rong realize that Qiu Ling was looking for him, and he quickly responded.
Qiu Ling hurried upstairs to find her and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Lu Rong said, "Zhou Li has already gone to look for his brothers and the others. There shouldn't be any major problems."
Only then did Qiu Ling feel relieved. Her jade token also received a response from Senior Brother Lin. Senior Brother Lin sent him a message saying that they had encountered a bird demon and that Senior Brother Lin was injured, and asked them to come to support him quickly.
When Lu Rong saw the news, he hurriedly sent a message to his father, telling him the situation here.
"Rongrong, are we going now?" Qiu Ling asked Lu Song.
Lu Rong stood by the window and looked at the situation outside. He saw flames rising into the sky in the distance, and countless birds flying high in the sky, with an imposing manner that covered the clouds and the moon.
Moreover, the previously peaceful town is now filled with demonic energy. It can be seen that the cultivation level of this bird demon is extremely high.
Lu Rong didn't hesitate and nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Lu Rong and Qiu Ling flew directly on their swords towards the direction where the flames were rising into the sky.
When you arrive, you can see a slender figure standing opposite a big roc high in the sky.
In the bloody night, the black shadow and the white shadow were particularly conspicuous. Lu Rong knew at a glance that it was Zhou Li.
Qiu Ling pulled her aside again and pointed at the two people squatting on the broken eaves and said, "Those are Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Minhui!"
"Let's go and take a look." The two of them flew quickly and landed on the roof.
Lu Rong squatted down and took a look at the situation of Senior Brother Minhui and Senior Brother Lin. Senior Brother Minhui was seriously injured. His chest was probably scratched by the claws of the big shed. His clothes were covered with bloodstains.
Senior Brother Lin was also seriously injured, with scratches all over his body.
Senior Brother Minhui saw that there was still some embarrassment and awkwardness in Lu Rong's eyes, perhaps because he had not listened to Lu Rong and insisted on coming out to inquire about the news.
Lu Rong didn't say much, but took out a few bottles of medicine from his arms and handed them to them, saying: "Brothers, take whatever medicine you think is safe to take."
Lu Rong put the medicine down and looked up at Zhou Li, who was facing off against the bird demon in the sky. This kind of demon was actually nothing in front of Zhou Li.
But Lu Rong was still a little worried because she knew Zhou Li was seriously injured.
Moreover, his father had stabbed Zhou Li in the heart before.
I don’t know how his recovery is going now. Thinking about it, Zhou Li has been like nothing happened since we met.
Lu Rong stood on the roof, looking at the ice crack in Zhou Li's hand, pointing straight at the big roc.
The bird demon was very arrogant and spoke nonsense to the demon world master in front of him. He said to Zhou Li, "If it weren't for Cheng Liu's hard work over the years, the demon race would have been scattered long ago. When will it be your turn to control the entire demon world now?"
Zhou Li just sneered: "If Chengliu is not there, there will be others who can do better."
"The entire demon world is full of trash. Who can compare to Chengliu?" The bird demon still said arrogantly.
"Everyone." Zhou Li had lost his patience. He held the ice crack in his hand and swung the sword down directly.
The sword light was like the most dazzling light in the darkness, piercing towards Dapeng with fierce murderous intent.
Dapeng reacted quickly, spreading its wings and trying to fly high into the sky. However, the ice cracks would not let it escape, and pierced the bird's body straight up from bottom to top.
The roc let out a sharp, shrill cry out of pain.
This sound made Lu Rong and the others look upwards.
At this moment, everyone's face suddenly changed because they saw the black coming from a distance.
The invading black fog was like a dark cloud that covered the moon. When it got closer, they could see clearly that it was not a dark cloud, but a large flock of birds!
They all rushed over in unison, full of murderous intent, and their bodies were covered in flames.
Lu Rong immediately realized the purpose of these plants growing. It was to prepare for this moment.
They wanted to burn down the entire Pingxiang Town and then burn them alive in this place, making it impossible for them to escape.
The fire from all directions was raging and engulfing everything.
The flames spread from them at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qiu Ling asked in surprise: "What do these birds want to do?"
Minhui, who was standing nearby, said, "They want to use us to revive someone. This should be a sacrificial resurrection formation, like the phoenix nirvana we often talk about."
Senior Brother Lin also nodded: "Yes, they want to sacrifice all the people in Pingxiang Town and our cultivation to revive their master."
Lu Rong thought that the big bird had just told Zhou Li about Cheng Liu. Perhaps they were Cheng Liu's subordinates who wanted to resurrect that person.
But the bird's cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high. Why does it have the courage to challenge Zhou Li?
She didn't know, but Zhou Li knew, because he had already felt the black air wrapped around the big bird, which was the same as the black mist attached to Zai Chengliu.
It seems that Pingxiang Town is also affected by the black fog.
Zhou Li lost his patience. He grabbed the big bird that was rushing towards him fiercely with one palm. When his palm tightened, the big bird let out a hoarse and uncomfortable roar.
Zhou Li asked sternly, "Who told you to do this?"
The bird remained unruly despite facing death. He looked at the person in front of him with arrogance and said, "Regardless of whether anyone instructs me to do it or not, I want to destroy everything here, even you!"
As he spoke, countless black air quickly burst out of his body, trying to cover Zhou Li.
Zhou Li realized that the black air wanted to enter his body, and Bing Lie suddenly flew over to block the black air.
Lu Rong realized that something was wrong. Their real target was not them but Zhou Li!
Lu Rong looked at Zhou Li above him, shrouded in black fog. He didn't dare to breathe, or even shout, for fear that the sound would distract him.
Senior Brother Lin looked at the sudden change above and subconsciously held his breath.
The night sky, which was originally burned red by the flames, suddenly became dim again. Even the flames seemed to be suppressed by something and condensed in the air like ice.
Only a gentle breeze blew by, floating the loose hair by Lu Rong's ears, and a powerful force came over her like an overwhelming force.
The spiritual seas of several people were suppressed by the powerful force and trembled.
Senior Brother Lin whispered, "How powerful is this person? He seems to have reached the point where he can ascend to heaven."
Senior Brother Minhui looked upwards, at the birds around him, then looked at Lu Rong and asked, "Is this person a demon or a human?"
This question made Lu Rong break out in a cold sweat, soaking her clothes. She didn't dare to answer Senior Brother Minhui's question, nor did she dare to step forward to help Zhou Li.
He was afraid that if he made even the slightest mistake, it would distract Zhou Li and cause him to get hurt.
But Senior Brother Minhui refused to give in and asked Lu Rong in a harsh voice, "Lu Rong, answer me, is he a human or a demon?"
Senior Brother Minhui's questioning made Lu Rong's face turn ugly. She asked back, "Does it matter whether it's a human? You're still standing here, not being killed by that giant bird. Who helped you? It was Zhou Li! So you're asking whether it was a human or a demon who saved you?"
These words left Senior Brother Minhui speechless for a moment, and Zhang Chun wanted to argue.
At this moment, the last sharp bird cry suddenly sounded in the silent night, and then scattered feathers fell from the sky like black goose feather snow.
A strong wind suddenly blew, blowing away all the flames and the dark flocks of birds. The originally gloomy night seemed to have parted the clouds and revealed some bright moonlight.
Lu Rong looked up in the direction he had been looking at before, and saw Zhou Li standing alone on the cracked sword, and in his palm was the lifeless Roc.
The black fog that had enveloped him just now was also blown away by the strong wind, leaving only a plain white robe fluttering in the night wind, like a person transformed by the pouring moonlight.
"Zhou Li..." Lu Rong called out softly with a trembling voice still filled with lingering fear.
Zhou Li didn't hear this call, so he called out a second time. This time, his voice was incredibly firm: "Zhou Li!"
Zhou Li heard her voice and turned to look at her. Bing Lie said to his master worriedly, "Master, your body has just been corroded by the black energy. You need to find a quiet place to heal."
Zhou Li didn't listen to Bing Lie's words. He just said to him, "Go and deal with the remaining birds."
Bing Lie wanted to say something but stopped himself, but Zhou Li gave it a look and it had to obey, so it flew away from its master and rushed directly towards the flocks of birds that had not yet dispersed.
The sword light flashed in the night, and the remaining birds fell from the sky one after another.
The flames burning the entire Pingxiang Town were completely extinguished by a cold wind.
The smell of gunpowder continued to permeate the night wind, and there was a deathly silence.
Lu Rong looked at Zhou Li who was still standing high in the sky, with some worry in her eyes. She shouted again: "Zhou Li, are you okay?"
Zhou Li looked down and saw Minhui, Lin Zetian and others, especially Minhui, who was looking at him, and there was even implicit hostility in her eyes.
He thought of Minhui's previous feelings for Lu Rong and what they said in the inn, and a cold curve appeared on his lips.
Senior Brother Minhui noticed the look in Zhou Li's eyes when he looked at him. He looked at the person in front of him and suddenly felt a strong demonic aura.
This time he was certain in his heart that the man in front of him named Zhou Li was not a human, but a monster!
Suddenly he grasped his sword, full of murderous intent. Lu Rong did not notice the eye contact and undercurrent between the two.
She just stared at Zhou Li and shouted at him, "Zhou Li, come here."
Zhou Li wanted to fly over, but he was holding his chest with his palm. Lu Rong realized that he might be injured, so she hurriedly flew away on her sword. But before she arrived, a sword light reached Zhou Li before her.
Before she could react, Minhui's sword pierced Zhou Li's shoulder directly, and the bright red blood stained Zhou Li's plain white clothes.
Lu Rong's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Senior Brother Minhui who was stabbing Zhou Li in disbelief.
She felt like she had fallen into an icy lake, and her heartbeat seemed to have stopped in an instant. She never expected that Senior Brother Minhui would want to kill Zhou Li at this time!
Subconsciously, she pushed aside the stunned Senior Brother Minhui and rushed directly towards Zhou Li, protecting him in front of her. She scolded Senior Brother Minhui, "You are so ungrateful! He just saved you!"
Minhui didn't seem to expect that she would actually rush over and hurt Zhou Li.
Zhou Li covered his chest and coughed lightly a few times. Before he could say anything, bright red blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
He pretended to be calm and said to Lu Rong, "Don't be angry with me. I know he just wants to protect you."
As he said this, he turned and left, his back showing a sense of loneliness and solitude.
Lu Rong grabbed his hand and looked at Min Hui in disappointment: "Brother, why have you also become someone who can't distinguish between good and evil? You once told me that everything in the world has good and evil, and we should distinguish right from wrong, but now you haven't done a single thing."
"Rong'er, he's a demon!"
"No matter who he is, I accept him and I like him!" Lu Rong said and left with Zhou Li without looking back.
Zhou Li turned his face slightly, and Minhui saw the mockery at the corner of his lips.
In an instant, his whole face lost its color, and he vaguely sensed that the smile contained four words: overestimating one's own abilities.
Lu Rong took Zhou Li back to the inn quickly, wanting to treat his injuries.
Zhou Li held her cold hand and looked at her with expectation in his eyes: "Say it again, Rongrong."
"What?" Lu Rong was a little embarrassed.
"What you just said." He kissed her fingertips.
Lu Rong abruptly retracted his hand: "Asshole!"
"Yes, I am." He wanted to hug her.
Lu Rong pushed him away: "Heal your wounds, take off your clothes!"
Zhou Li didn't move, his brows slightly furrowed: "No need."
"Do you have any other injuries?" Lu Rong asked him.
Zhou Li didn't say anything, and Lu Rong kicked him in anger: "Then you will die!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The room became quiet again. Zhou Li covered his chest with his hands. It was so hot that it seemed to burn his sanity.
She couldn't understand that as long as she touched him, he would lose control, hold her in his arms and fuck her hard.
At least now, he couldn't do this to her.
Lu Rong didn't sleep all night. She looked up, thinking about Zhou Li's scarred hands and scratched shoulders, and couldn't help but get up.
"I'll just give him some medicine and then come back." Lu Rong muttered to himself.
She opened the door and walked out, went upstairs, and used Baili Dun to directly enter Zhou Li's room.
Zhou Li was lying on the bed, looking like he was asleep. She carefully sat down beside the bed and pulled up the sleeve of his hand that was pressing on the quilt.
Revealing the hideous wound on it.
She knew that every time Zhou Li was in heat, it was very difficult for him to endure, and he needed to feel a lot of pain to suppress his body's nature.
Lu Rong took out the medicine and gently applied it to him. He had so many wounds that it hurt even for her to apply the medicine.
After cleaning the wounds, she sighed softly: "You are good at taking care of others, but you don't know how to take care of yourself."
"Zhou Li, be nicer to yourself." She put his hand back, stood up and tried to leave, but her wrist was grabbed.
She turned around and saw Zhou Li looking at her with his eyes open. There was no sleepiness in those dark eyes, but they were filled with the heat of lust.
It seems that she was not asleep just now, but was brewing desire.
She glared at him angrily: "You're playing with me again!"
Zhou Li would not let it go this time. He pulled her into his arms, and as if he had used up all his strength, he buried his face in her hair and pleaded pitifully, "Rongrong, don't go."
