Chapter 81
To everyone's astonishment.
The bolts of lightning from the stone wall above were instantly absorbed into Mo Xiaoxin's sword, converging in one place, causing the Ice Crystal Sword to emit a dazzling light.
Mo Xiaoxin leaped into the air, her movements both gentle and ruthless, and thrust towards Ye Deqing.
Ye Deqing stood there with a gloomy face. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he reached out and pulled Ye Songlan, who was not far away, to his front.
Mo Xiaoxin's sword plunged directly into Ye Songlan's heart.
A mouthful of blood trickled from the corner of Ye Songlan's mouth. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She never imagined her father would use her as a shield.
Even if he doesn't like her, even tigers don't eat their cubs, so how can a father harm his own daughter?
The lightning spread rapidly within Ye Songlan's body, and within moments, Ye Songlan convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
Ye Hualing's eyes widened, a metallic taste of blood seemingly rising in her throat: "No!!"
Meanwhile, the culprit, Ye Deqing, had already darted onto the middle stone with his golden axe.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, Ye Deqing had already opened the door.
He glanced back at Ye Songlan, who lay dead with her eyes wide open, his gaze filled with indifference, before disappearing from sight.
"Time is running out, everyone hurry up and get out of here," Xian Fei reminded them.
Yue Ke took Yue Si and Xian Fei out together.
Next were Li Zhao and Liu Qing.
Next was Ye Pingwei.
In the end, Ye Hualing was left holding Ye Songlan's body for a long time without letting go, his face covered in tears.
Things happened so fast that Mo Xiaoxin didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. After all, she had killed him by mistake, and it didn't seem right to say anything. She hesitated to speak.
Ye Hualing didn't look up, and choked out, "Don't worry, I won't blame you. I know who I should hate."
Mo Xiaoxin had never seen Ye Hualing so emotionally affected before; it was clear he loved his sister very much. "My condolences."
Leng Huai glanced at the two people on the ground and said to Mo Xiaoxin, "Let's go."
*
Back in the Demon Palace, Mo Xiaoxin was finally able to lie down on her comfortable bed and get some rest.
She remembered the strange scent on the bed.
She opened the box, took out a pill, and sure enough, the two smelled exactly the same!
This is a powder for insomnia!
She felt she needed to remind Leng Huai.
After Leng Huai entered the room, she told him about it.
Leng Huai showed no surprise, but she was somewhat astonished: "You already knew?"
"Um."
Mo Xiaoxin scratched his head: "Then your sense of taste..."
Leng Huai: "Of course there are. If I don't act convincingly, how can I catch the mole?"
Mo Xiaoxin muttered, "So you already knew. Then why don't you give me the antidote?"
Leng Huai glanced at her indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
He pointed to the oil lamp: "I've already put the antidote here."
Mo Xiaoxin nodded, "I see."
When I woke up early in the morning, Leng Huai was nowhere to be found.
To her dismay, she discovered yet another time that ice magic had been frozen!
Mo Xiaoxin looked up to the sky and roared!
She immediately called out to the system: "System, what exactly is going on?"
The system patted its round head: "I don't know either."
Mo Xiaoxin's eyes widened: "You really don't know? You didn't do it?"
The system quickly shook its head: "Of course not, am I that kind of person?"
Mo Xiaoxin exclaimed dejectedly, "My fifty million!! And I only used it once?"
Her heart was bleeding!
Left with no other choice, Mo Xiaoxin went to Leng Huai again, hoping that he would continue to teach her magic.
But after searching several times, Leng Huai was not in the palace, and no one knew where he had gone.
I guess he went to deal with matters concerning the four major families.
This beast-hunting feast was full of twists and turns, but at least there were some gains. Although they did not obtain the Ye family's clan seal shield, they still dealt a heavy blow to Ye Deqing.
Ye Deqing will probably need to recuperate for a while.
Mo Xiaoxin had no choice but to practice her magic in the courtyard by herself.
She knows a little bit of each of the five elements of magic, but she's not proficient in any of them, which is what makes her so troublesome.
Her current goal is to master these spells as soon as possible so that she can bring back the head of the Northern Demon King and give it to Mo Qiuxin.
For several months in a row, Mo Xiaoxin only saw Leng Huai a few times, and each time she only saw him briefly before going to attend to other matters.
When asked, Leng Huai said he was going to handle official business.
Why did she feel like Leng Huai was avoiding her?
Was it just her imagination?
But he didn't need to avoid her, did he?
He practiced his spells while lost in his own random, confused thoughts.
One hot afternoon, Mo Xiaoxin was resting in the pavilion when she overheard a conversation while dozing off.
"If she keeps practicing like this, she'll probably reach a certain level in just a few months. What will we do then?"
A woman's voice came from inside.
Hmm, it seems to be Ziyu.
Then came a man's voice.
"The Northern Demon Realm is fraught with danger; I cannot let her venture out alone."
This is... Leng Huai's voice.
They seemed to be talking about her.
"But are you just going to keep hiding from her like this? She was asking me about your whereabouts yesterday, wanting you to teach her some magic."
"I thought that time would eventually make her give up the idea. I didn't expect her to be so persistent. I can't let her go. If that still doesn't stop her, then I'll lock her up!"
Leng Huai's voice was powerful and resonant, which infuriated Mo Xiaoxin.
Mo Xiaoxin was now fully awake, and she was furious. He actually wanted to lock her up? Who did he think he was?
So that's why I've been avoiding her all these days—I didn't want her to go to the Northern Demon Realm!
She heard Ziyu say again, "Then this packet of sleeping pills..."
"Give it to the cook tonight. After she eats it, she will fall into a deep sleep. After this period of time, perhaps her inner pain will lessen a bit."
The flame within Mo Xiaoxin has been ignited!
Damn it! Fortunately, she has been blessed by the system during this period, and her magic power has increased rapidly. As long as she puts in a little more effort, she can reach the next level.
She had originally planned to complete some assassination missions in the Demon Realm, but now it seems she has to leave the Demon Realm as soon as possible.
You still want to poison her?
No way!
That evening, Ziyu personally brought the food to Mo Xiaoxin's room.
Her master had instructed her that she must personally witness Mo Xiaoxin taking the medicine.
Mo Xiaoxin exclaimed, "Goddess!"
Leng Huai's move was truly insidious.
She didn't provoke him at all, so how could he be so cruel?
What a cold-blooded and heartless scoundrel!
She had previously thought he was good to her...
He even said some high-sounding things about not wanting her to take risks. Now that I think about it, he probably just didn't want his mascot, the Demon Queen, to leave the Demon Realm and affect his reputation!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes were filled with fury as she looked at Ziyu.
After putting down the food, Ziyu was stunned. Could it be that the Demon Queen had discovered that she had been drugged?
That's impossible! She did it flawlessly. The medicine is colorless and odorless, how could it have been discovered?
It was undoubtedly because Mo Xiaoxin hadn't seen her master for a long time and was taking her anger out on her.
"Excuse me, I'm on my period and I'm feeling a bit unwell right now. I'll eat later. You can go out now; I can't eat while you're here," Mo Xiaoxin said, her tone unusually commanding.
Ziyu was a little unaccustomed to Mo Xiaoxin's sudden change. She had some suspicions, but she didn't think too much about it and left.
A moment later, when she went back into the room to check, Mo Xiaoxin had already disappeared.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Mo Xiaoxin came down from behind the roof and walked through the dog hole to the entrance of the Demon Palace.
The numerous guards passing by along the way made her extremely anxious.
Fortunately, her skills have improved significantly, making it much easier for her to evade these people.
She was momentarily stunned as she stared at the heavy gates of the Demon Palace.
The city wall is almost five meters high, thick and heavy. If you just climb over it, it will probably attract attention.
But she just walked around here and didn't see the dog hole leading out, so it seems that they are keeping a close watch on this.
what to do?
If we don't go out soon, Ziyu and the others will probably find us sooner or later.
Just as she had expected, Ziyu had sent people everywhere to search for her, and even sent people to keep watch at the main gate.
Mo Xiaoxin saw a group of people approaching and immediately hid behind a rock.
"Have you seen the Demon Queen?" the leader asked sternly.
The guard shook his head: "No!"
"Keep the guards tight! Don't let a single ant escape! If you see the Demon Queen, bring her to me!"
"yes!"
Mo Xiaoxin's heart was pounding.
How did you discover it so quickly?
She glanced in the direction of the gate; there was no way out from here.
Something seemed to spring out from under my feet?
It tickled and tingled up her ankle, which startled her.
Looking down, she discovered that a tree branch had spread up to her feet.
She glared, grabbed the branch, and rolled it up.
How dare they tease her! She'll teach them a lesson they won't forget.
To her surprise, as she rolled up the branch, she discovered that the other end was a large tree, a peach tree.
The peach tree begged for forgiveness, saying, "No, no, no, Princess, I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased you."
Mo Xiaoxin was somewhat surprised: "Xiao Tao? What are you doing here? Didn't you go to live in the mountains?"
A head peeked out from the peach tree; it was Yan Dun.
Seeing two familiar faces, Mo Xiaoxin was overjoyed.
Yan Dun told Mo Xiaoxin the whole story: "When the Demon Lord heard that we had nowhere to go, he brought us to the Demon Palace."
Mo Xiaoxin blinked: "That guy Leng Huai actually brought you all to the palace without telling me! So, did Leng Huai bully you?"
Heng Xiaotao said aggrievedly, "Perhaps the Demon Lord was too busy to remember. The Demon Lord did treat us well. But we haven't had a chance to see you. Your palace is too secure. We didn't know how to see you. Today we heard that the Demon Queen was missing, so we searched everywhere for you and finally found you here."
Mo Xiaoxin said helplessly, "But I have to leave the Demon Palace for a while now. I have things to take care of. Xiaotao, can you take me out with you?"
Heng Xiaotao was puzzled, but she knew that the princess must have something urgent to do: "The princess's business is my business. I may not have any other skills, but I can still manage to send the princess out of the Demon Palace."
Without delay, in a corner, Heng Xiaotao had Mo Xiaoxin sit on her vine branch and sent Mo Xiaoxin out of the Demon Palace.
Heng Xiaotao still wanted to go out with Mo Xiaoxin.
Mo Xiaoxin refused. She knew that Xiao Tao's illness was unpredictable and that the trip was extremely dangerous. She couldn't let them suffer with her.
Mo Xiaoxin continued to tell Yan Dun to take good care of Xiao Tao.
After Mo Xiaoxin escaped from the Demon Palace, Leng Huai flew into a rage and ransacked the entire Demon Palace.
Ziyu and Qiaoyun were deeply affected and were severely scolded and punished.
The two men trembled with fear; they hadn't seen their lord so angry in a long time.
Leng Huai looked towards the Demon Palace gate, his eyes filled with coldness: "You dared to run away, it seems you overheard our conversation during the day."
Ziyu asked, trembling, "Then... what do you intend to do, my lord?"
Leng Huai grabbed the bird that was trying to escape from his fingertips. Watching the bird fluttering and struggling in his palm, a chilling smile appeared on his lips: "I will not let her escape from my grasp."
Ziyu and Qiaoyun shuddered again.
Mo Xiaoxin took out the small amount of silver Xiao Tao had given her and inquired among the small merchants in the Demon Realm about cheap carriages, which were said to take seven days to reach the Demon Realm.
There was nothing she could do; Leng Huai had previously taken her in a high-class carriage, but she didn't have that much money.
As soon as Mo Xiaoxin got into the carriage, Leng Huai arrived at the market. He went to the carriage shop and inquired about Mo Xiaoxin's whereabouts.
After making some inquiries, they finally learned about Mo Xiaoxin's whereabouts from a small carriage shop.
Mo Xiaoxin had already embarked on her journey by then.
