Chapter 19 Blindness
Li Yuanying fainted from the pain, and when she woke up, she had already come out of the Shengle illusion.
Qilang looked at the girl in front of him. Her waist was so slender that he could hold it in his arms. Due to excessive blood loss, her lips were pale. Her snow-white clothes were stained with blood, which gradually turned from bright red to darker, like a withered flower.
Qilang's heart seemed to be touched by something. However, they had only been married for a few days, and she could actually do so much for him... How stupid...
I wonder what she would think if she knew that the purpose of my trip was to kill her.
Qi Lang reached out his hand, his slender fingers brushing across her lips, her face, her hands, her cold body, as if this person had already lost all life. A blue flame rose from Qi Lang's hand, then spread from Li Yuanying's forehead to her body and limbs. He carefully transferred his demonic energy to the girl.
She's only just reached the age of 15 this year, so she still has a lot of time left, but she has this body...
Li Yuanying suddenly moved. She coughed lightly and wanted to open her eyes, but the pain was too severe. She sat up nervously and was held tightly by someone.
It was that warm feeling she was familiar with.
"Qillang?" Li Yuanying didn't dare to confirm it completely.
"It's me."
The boy's voice, without any visual interference, seemed even clearer and purer.
"I can't see anymore." Li Yuanying raised her hand and touched her eyes, her tone sounding a little frustrated.
"Didn't you think about the consequences before you acted so rashly?" Qilang asked.
Li Yuanying didn't say anything. She struggled to get up, but because she couldn't see, she almost fell down. This fall, she fell into Qilang's arms again.
"Do you miss your husband so much?" Qilang's tone became frivolous.
Li Yuanying ignored him and wanted to walk straight ahead.
"You can't see now, don't move. What do you want to do?" Qilang pulled Li Yuanying back again. In order to prevent Li Yuanying from running away again, he held her tighter.
"Tell me, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Qilang said with a tone of blame, but in fact, he felt a little distressed now. The woman on the Black Water River back then was so high-spirited, but now she has become so destitute, and it was all for him.
Li Yuanying sighed slightly and raised her head, probably wanting to look at Qilang, but now she could no longer see the boy's face.
"Qillang, I can probably guess the purpose of your trip." Li Yuanying said slowly.
Qilang's body stiffened, he stood there in a daze. This woman knew he was coming to kill her? Impossible. If that were the case, how could a normal person be so calm?
"You may not believe it, but if I knew your purpose, I would definitely be on guard against you instead of letting you slaughter me like I am now." Li Yuanying was a little breathless because of Qilang's grip, but the heat from his body made her feel very comfortable. She wanted to continue inhaling so that she would no longer feel pain.
"For some people, living is actually more painful than death." Li Yuanying reached out and stroked Shang Qilang's face. His skin was smooth and delicate, warm and cozy, with a high nose bridge, deep-set eyes, and a sexy chin.
"My fate has come to an end. No matter what I do, I probably won't survive March, and I'm afraid I won't see summer. So, if I can keep you safe with my broken body, I don't think it's a loss. After all, we are destined to be husband and wife." Li Yuanying's breathing became weaker and weaker, and the pain from her wound made her feel exhausted.
Qilang didn't say anything. He just hugged Li Yuanying quietly. "Mother, are all human beings really ungrateful and bad people as you say?" He never doubted his mother's words before, but now he was a little shaken.
He took off the ribbon from his hair, then gently wrapped it around Li Yuanying's eyes and tied a knot behind her head.
"Don't worry, come with me to Chang'an and find my master. He will definitely be able to cure your eyes." Qilang said.
"No need." Li Yuanying shook her head. "Qilang, I told you, this broken body is not worth mentioning. Actually, I just want to know, who are you? What is your name?"
Hearing this, Qilang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she still remembered what happened on the banks of the Black Water River?
"That day, the demons and humans fought a great battle in Black Water. In the melee, a young demon boy saved me. Was that person you?" Li Yuanying asked.
"What demon tribe? I'm not a demon," Qilang said. This woman was really cunning. First she saved him, letting him down, and now she was trying to trick him.
"If you are not a demon, why would my father use this blood bracelet to suppress you?" Li Yuanying asked back.
"I was injured by a monster when I was a child. That monster was too powerful, and I couldn't suppress its demonic energy. That's why your father used the blood bracelet to suppress it." Qilang's words sounded perfect. As a monster hunter, Li Yuanying should know this. If injured by a puppet, a demon, or a spirit, there would be no impact, but if injured by an evil spirit, one would fall into the path of demonism.
"You were actually hurt by Xie?" Li Yuanying had never seen the real Xie. A few years ago, when she was very young, she followed her father to the Black Water Expedition. She thought she could see the Evil King of the Demon Clan. They had set up a tight net, but unexpectedly, she did not see Xie.
"Yes, that happened five years ago. My family lived in Cuandi County, at the foot of Mount Buzhou. Demons and devils were rampant there year-round. One winter, the city was attacked by a demon, and the entire army was killed. My parents lay in a pool of blood. That evil god killed every god he met, and every Buddha he met. I was injured at that time, but thankfully I've survived to this day."
"What about your six sisters?" Li Yuanying asked.
"They are all alive. The woman in red is my youngest sister. Her name is Bingyi."
"Bingyi? I thought your name is Qilang and she should be called Liujie..." Li Yuanying joked. Since the man refused to tell her his real name, she could only make such a sarcastic remark.
"Qillang, do you know that the king of monsters is Xie? The evil god is invincible and undefeated. When he is born, all living things will suffer. All monsters are different animals transformed into monsters, and Xie is a human transformed into a monster. Therefore, other monsters do not have their own real names, only Xie. He was a human in his previous life, so he has a name." Li Yuanying is blind now, and she doesn't know what Qillang's expression is now.
She continued, "The Evil King is not without weaknesses. His only weakness is his true name as a human. Anyone who knows the Evil King's true name can obtain his demonic elixir and reduce him to ashes, forever damned."
After she finished speaking, silence fell. She seemed to be able to only hear the breathing of herself and Qilang. Qilang's grip on her became tighter and tighter. She couldn't help but groan and said through gritted teeth, "It hurts..."
"So, Shichiro... you can't tell anyone your real name either?"
Just as Li Yuanying was waiting for Qilang's answer, Zhang Qingchen and Bingyi also came out of the illusion.
"Master!" Bing Yi's voice was panicked. "We got out, but... his right arm..."
Bingyi's tears streamed down and she couldn't help sobbing.
When Li Yuanying heard this, she smiled slightly. She never expected that such a stubborn senior brother would be willing to make sacrifices one day.
"Zhang Qingchen...you...are you crazy too?" Qilang didn't expect that Zhang Qingchen, like Li Yuanyuan, would sacrifice himself to save others. They were two unreasonable people.
"Who are you?" Zhang Qingchen's first question after coming out was a question.
Qilang was stunned. He laughed and said, "You two brothers and sisters are really exactly alike!"
Zhang Qingchen held the sword in his left hand and walked with the wind: "May God bless you!"
This is the same sword technique as Li Yuanying's. The sword energy is sharp and goes straight to Qilang.
"You are overestimating yourself." Qilang was just about to attack, but unexpectedly Li Yuanying took out the Frost Ashes, and then a cold light flashed, and she blocked Zhang Qingchen's attack.
"Wanwan!" Zhang Qingchen roared, "You knew they were demons, so why did you indulge them? Moreover, they might very well be..."
"I know they are here to kill me." Li Yuanying put away the Frost Ashes and said lightly.
