Chapter 39: Flame Mountain Cocoon Man (12)
Qilang watched as Li Yuanying's complexion grew increasingly worse. He had never expected that the mere sound of a bell could make her so miserable.
He flew up and used the Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella to hold the bell closest to them, forcing it to stop vibrating. However, this act seemed to resonate with the other bells that were already ringing. They vibrated at an increasing frequency and with a sharper tone, stirring up a surging, surging wave. Li Yuanying began to vomit large mouthfuls of black blood.
Qilang glanced at Bingyi and said, "Bingyi, use Sky Shield."
Bingyi hesitated. Was he going to do it for this woman? And if he did, it would only confirm their existence as demons. But she couldn't disobey His Highness's orders. With a powerful push of her feet, she soared into the air, gathering the fireflies and swirling them around her. Against her bright red dress, they looked like sparkling fireflies, incredibly gorgeous.
The bright red dress turned into a thick flame, and then turned into a huge stream of light in the air, overlapping and merging from left to right, from top to bottom. The light slowly cooled down, revealing a golden nine-headed dragon.
"Sky Shield!" Nine-headed Dragon uttered this word, and then a golden light flashed, and a huge air pressure came down from above, pressing heavily on the bell that was screaming wildly.
The golden light illuminated the entire cave, which was much larger than Li Yuanying and his group had imagined, like a boundless void. Even such a strong and continuous golden light could not reach the top of the cave.
When Bingyi looked down at this scene in the light, she was shocked. It turned out that there were not just dozens of bells here, but hundreds, not to mention thousands, or even tens of thousands of bells!
Those mysterious ancient figures are hidden in the endless darkness. They are silent and shadowy.
The Sky Shield suppressed the howling of the ancient bell from top to bottom, but it could not completely suppress it. Bingyi had no choice but to continue exerting force. Just when she felt exhausted, the bell finally stopped.
Bingyi turned back into human form and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bingyi, are you okay?" Qilang supported Li Yuanying who was about to faint. He no longer had the ability to care about Bingyi.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Since Li Yuanying was not mentally stable, Bingyi no longer called him Young Master Qilang, but called him Your Highness instead.
After all, Qilang is the Crown Prince of their demon clan.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qilang said.
Bingyi struggled to stand up with great effort. She looked breathlessly at the prince whom she had admired for a long time. Before he met this woman, he was invincible and was a hero in her heart, but now, he was so sentimental.
It’s all because of this woman. If it weren’t for Li Yuanying, their Crown Prince wouldn’t have become like this.
Master has long said that humans are always cunning, and it seems to be true. They are good at charm. Otherwise, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so bewitched by her after only knowing her for a few days?
"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand. My original mission was to get rid of her. Why do I have to save her again and again now?" Bingyi suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, knelt on one knee, and begged Qilang to give him an explanation.
"I have my own plans." Qilang knew that he was in the wrong in this matter. He originally thought that he could be ruthless enough to kill the goddess whom he had met once in Heishui, but he didn't expect that he couldn't do it now.
"Your Highness, I dare to ask, what are your plans? You said before that your magical powers were sealed, so it was inconvenient to kill her. But now that Li Yuanying is so broken, she won't live for many days. Why don't we take action now?"
"Since we already know she won't live for many days, why rush today?"
"Your Highness!"
"No need to say more. Bingyi, if you disagree with my approach, then go report this to the Emperor and ask him to punish me. I have made up my mind and will not change it."
"Your Highness..." Bingyi felt as if her heart was being restrained by something. Her mind flashed back to the time when she had accompanied His Highness in studying, practicing calligraphy, and practicing martial arts and fighting battles.
I still remember that after His Highness lost his mother, he was bullied by his six brothers and could not hold his head up. It was Master and she who helped His Highness win the position of Crown Prince in that treacherous battle for the throne.
He wholeheartedly wanted only to avenge his mother, but now, he only cared about the safety of this human woman.
"Your Highness, do you know that it was because of that heartless human lover that the Queen ended up in disgrace and even lost her soul? You must never follow the Queen's old path again!" Bingyi knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Qilang.
"Wanwan is different. She is not that heartless man, and she has nothing to let me down." Qilang looked at the woman in his arms. She seemed to be dying, her face was pale, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted towards her, like a real plum blossom blooming alone in the cold.
That day, when she stood among the crowd, she was so unique. Now that she was in his arms, she was still so unique.
My mother once told me that the man was indeed different from everyone else, and I could recognize him at a glance among thousands of people.
Yes, Li Yuanying is just like that to him.
Millions of people are just passers-by; only the fragrance of plum blossoms lingers.
She is just a flower swaying on the branch. In a few days, the slightly warmer sunshine will wilt her, the slightly stronger wind will blow her down, and the slightly heavier raindrops will drown her.
"Your Highness! This woman isn't as innocent as you think. Who knows what she's planning? Don't be fooled by her. Just like the Empress back then, that heartless man spoke better than he could sing. Once she truly falls in love with him, he'll reveal his true intentions!"
"Alright, Bingyi, I still say the same thing. If you are dissatisfied with my actions, go and complain to the Emperor. I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade me."
Although they were forced into marriage, he and Li Yuanying were still married. Since they had already decided to spend their lives together, it could not be easily broken.
In the following days, I accompanied her in making fun and laughing, and it was only a little over a month.
What kind of waves can she make?
The victory of the demon clan is already decided.
He gave her a good send-off, which was a wish come true for him.
"Okay, since Your Highness insists on doing so, Bingyi will go through fire and water without hesitation." Bingyi lowered her head. She knew that the prince would not change his mind. Since that was the case, she had already made up her mind to follow him, and she would go all the way to the end, killing gods and Buddhas who stood in her way. That was all.
Qilang looked at his loyal subordinate and felt very relieved. If it weren't for Bingyi, he wouldn't be where he is today. However, he was not the kind of person who would force others to do things. If Bingyi really didn't want to, he wouldn't stop him.
"In this case, the master and servant are of one mind." Qilang nodded.
"Your Highness, please give your orders."
"Wanwan's wish is to find Fifteen and rescue that good-for-nothing senior brother down the mountain. So let's fulfill her wish first, and then find a way to get that Zhang Qingchen..."
"Kill him?" Bingyi asked when he saw Qilang didn't say anything.
Qilang coughed lightly. If it were any other time, he would have killed him eight hundred times already. But if that were the case, Li Yuanying might cry, make a fuss, or even hang herself.
"Idiot, I want to kill him, why are you saving him now!" Qilang got angry when he thought that Li Yuanying cared so much about this senior brother, so he took out his anger on Bingyi who was hit by the gun.
"It's my stupidity."
"After you rescue him, find a place to lock him up for me. Don't let him come out and bother me."
"Yes. May I ask where His Highness is being held?"
"Use your brain to think about it. How do I know where I'm being held?"
Bingyi was thinking, where would be the best place to imprison him? His Highness didn't tell her, so it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
The master once said that when serving the master, one should first think about the master's biggest difficulty, and what you need to do is to help him overcome all difficulties. She thought that the reason why His Highness hated Zhang Qingchen so much was because Li Yuanying cared about Zhang Qingchen. If Li Yuanying no longer cared, then His Highness's troubles would be solved.
"Your Highness, I think we should find a suitable woman for Zhang Qingchen and let them get married, and this matter will be settled. Don't you think so?" Bingyi felt that his idea was good.
Qilang glanced at her, as if thinking, but he didn't deny the suggestion: "Who should I find?"
At this time, a shrill female voice came: "Looking for me, sir."
"Was it you who spoke just now?" Qilang asked.
"Me? No." Bingyi shook his head.
"Did you hear anything?"
Bing Yi shook his head again: "No."
Qilang didn't say anything else. It seemed that when Li Yuanying said she heard a woman's voice, it was not an auditory hallucination. She was the only one who heard it. Now, he was the only one who could hear it.
"Sir, it's me, I'm the one speaking."
The strange woman's voice sounded again.
Her voice seemed to come from inside the clock.
Qilang looked up at the clock above his head.
It was pitch black in there and I couldn't see anything.
"Yes, I'm here, sir, come here."
Qilang grabbed a few fireflies and held them above his head, but because the fireflies had been burning for a long time, their light was getting dimmer and dimmer and could no longer illuminate places too far.
Qilang couldn't see what was inside the clock, but he could hear the voice whispering, "Sir, come closer, closer."
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Bingyi asked.
Qilang turned his head and looked at Bingyi: "I heard something in there..."
Before he finished speaking, Qilang saw Bingyi's face turn pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but because she was too nervous, she didn't say anything for a while.
Qilang suddenly felt that the situation was not good. He was about to leave the place, but he was holding Li Yuanying and his speed was much slower.
At this moment, he felt a sharp claw grabbing his shoulder. Suddenly, he was lifted up by a huge force, and he and Li Yuanying were suddenly grabbed into the bell.
After entering the bell, several fireflies were lifted up and flew into the air, illuminating the inside of the bell. The bright blue light flickered, and the scenes inside the bell became bright and shimmering. They were the faces of women.
