Chapter 92
"Qiao Yun, where do you think you're going?" Mo Xiaoxin stared coldly at the man who was trying to escape.
Mo Xiaoxin had once wondered if the mole was either Ziyu or Qiao Yun. After all, close protectors like them were the easiest to be sown discord, but she never imagined that Ziyu was the mole, or that Qiao Yun was.
Qiao Yun glared fiercely at Mo Xiaoxin, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water: "I lost, I admit defeat! Do whatever you want with me!"
After learning that Leng Huai was investigating the mole, Qiao Yun and Zi Yu discussed it, and he wanted to take the initiative to admit that he was the mole. However, Zi Yu disagreed, believing that she was more likely to get close to Mo Xiaoxin and that the assassination would have a greater chance of success.
Qiao Yun knew that Ziyu was deliberately saying those things to prevent him from taking risks. Ziyu even threatened to reveal her identity right now if he didn't let her go. He couldn't persuade Ziyu otherwise and could only watch helplessly as her assassination attempt failed and she was killed by Leng Huai.
Mo Xiaoxin slowly landed in front of Qiao Yun, and his powerful aura, which was terrifying, made Qiao Yun feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Although Qiao Yun spoke harshly, deep down she was still afraid. Who isn't afraid of death?
Mo Xiaoxin could tell from his trembling body that he was not as fearless as he appeared. She smiled sarcastically: "Logically, I should kill you now, but you are Leng Huai's subordinate after all, so he should be the one to deal with you."
As soon as Mo Xiaoxin finished speaking, a burst of intense red light emanated from the depths of the Demon Realm.
He arrived riding on the flames, demonic energy surging around his dark brocade robe, his black hair half-loose with a few strands falling beside his cheeks. Despite his breathtakingly handsome appearance, every part of him exuded an evil aura.
He landed in front of her.
"Thank you, my wife, for thinking of me."
Mo Xiaoxin stared blankly at the man in front of her, whose alluring eyes were also looking at her, as smooth as waves.
"You, you're not dead..." Mo Xiaoxin's throat seemed to be churning with something, and after a long while, she suddenly blurted out these words.
Leng Huai was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently: "I'm sorry to have worried you."
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Mo Xiaoxin's eyes, and that tender gesture touched her deeply.
She didn't even realize when she started crying.
Leng Huai gazed at the lotus flower slowly blooming on the icy blade, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere and the ruined watchtower, he understood how much Mo Xiaoxin had suffered while he was away. He said with some guilt, "I'm late."
Mo Xiaoxin shook her head. If she hadn't gone through all that, how could her ice magic have broken through?
Ignored by the two, Qiao Yun watched their affectionate behavior and was reminded of the deceased Zi Yu. She felt resentful: "Leng Huai! You killed the woman I loved most, and now you two are here kissing and cuddling. Have you ever thought about how I've been cooped up all these days?"
Leng Huai glanced at Qiao Yun with disdain: "You can't even protect your own woman, and you still have the nerve to blame others?"
Qiao Yun knew he couldn't beat Leng Huai, and was speechless for a moment. Seeing Leng Huai and Mo Xiaoxin so affectionate and tender, he felt even more distressed.
There was no point in living in this world anymore. Even if Leng Huai didn't kill him, he had no desire to live any longer.
He walked up to a guard, pulled out the guard's knife, and plunged it into his heart.
The world seemed to fall silent.
But it's far from over.
A halo appeared, and Ye Kongliang emerged from the Ice Shard Sword carrying a woman covered in blood, barely alive.
The Nightmare glanced at Mo Xiaoxin and Leng Huai: "This is all I can do for you..."
After the nightmare finished speaking, it closed its eyes.
Ye Kongliang casually tossed the nightmare to the ground: "It's just a high-level demon, it's no match for me!"
Mo Xiaoxin was astonished; she hadn't expected Ye Kongliang to be able to break the illusion of the dream demon.
Ye Kongliang stared at Leng Huai and Mo Xiaoxin, raising an eyebrow slightly: "I sensed the power of the highest-level magic on you two. I didn't expect you to break through to the highest realm in such a short time. It was truly my mistake!"
Mo Xiaoxin: "Ye Kongliang, if you reveal the location of your mastermind right now, we might spare your life!"
Ye Kongliang was taken aback, then burst into laughter, a laugh tinged with a touch of desolation: "Since you know, I won't beat around the bush. To tell you the truth, I'm just following orders; my life is at someone else's mercy. I do have someone behind me, but that person's skills are unfathomable. I'm no match for him, and neither are you. Not to mention you, even I don't know where he is."
Mo Xiaoxin and Leng Huai looked at each other, their faces filled with solemn expressions.
Suddenly, Mo Xiaoxin's expression changed, and she pointed her icy sword at Ye Kongliang: "You're lying!"
Ye Kongliang: "At a time like this, why would I lie to you?"
Mo Xiaoxin ignored his excuses and attacked him directly, but Ye Kongliang was no match for Mo Xiaoxin and was defeated in just a few moves.
Ye Kongliang watched as he was about to be killed by Mo Xiaoxin, and he closed his eyes to await his death.
Suddenly, a gust of wind howled in from the sky.
A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared and swallowed Ye Kongliang, who disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mo Xiaoxin stared at the black mist. She had just seen it clearly; the black mist had come from Leng Huai's body.
Mo Xiaoxin: "Quickly, chase after them!"
Leng Huai stopped Mo Xiaoxin: "The affairs of the Demon Realm still need to be managed. You stay here, I'll be right back."
Mo Xiaoxin wanted to say something more, but Leng Huai had already disappeared.
In a flash, she saw a person in the crowd walking timidly in the opposite direction. The person kept crouching down, as if afraid that others would discover his presence.
Xue Dahai.
Mo Xiaoxin sneered, conjuring a fiery spear in her hand. The spear pierced Xue Dahai's back with a whoosh.
Xue Dahai groaned, reaching out in frustration to grab something, but grasped nothing and fell heavily to the ground.
She glanced in the direction where Leng Huai had disappeared, then looked at the vast crowd.
Fine, she'll wait for him to return in the Demon Realm.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
Without their leader, all the soldiers of the Northern Demon Realm retreated, and the Demon Realm returned to peace.
The soldiers all witnessed the valiant and heroic Demon Queen fighting to the death to protect the Demon Realm. No longer did they look down on her for being born a demon, and they all sincerely hoped that she could stay in the Demon Realm with the Demon Lord.
Two days have passed since Mo Xiaoxin settled everything in the Demon Realm, but Leng Huai is still nowhere to be found.
That sense of unease grew stronger.
Mo Xiaoxin tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
Deep within a thick, dark fog, Mo Xiaoxin felt a strong sense of unease.
Having finally emerged from the mist, she found herself back at the starting point, trapped in this cycle of dreams.
Until a familiar voice rang in my ears.
“Mo Xiaoxin…”
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" In this world, only she and the system know the name Mo Xiaoxin.
She recognized the voice: "You are... Black Mist!"
It was something strange that had always been hidden in Leng Huai's heart.
A black mist drifted out, emitting eerie laughter: "Yes, that's right, it's me."
"What did you do to Leng Huai?" Mo Xiaoxin questioned.
Black Mist: "Mo Xiaoxin, if you want to save Leng Huai, come to the summit of the Divine Realm."
Mo Xiaoxin: "The pinnacle of the divine realm? Where is that?"
The black mist vanished abruptly, without answering her question.
She had never heard of this place before.
No, she vaguely remembered seeing it somewhere before.
She opened the Taotao Mall interface, and sure enough, there was a key to the pinnacle of the divine realm worth 99.99 million yuan.
She remembered the system saying that the summit of the divine realm was a legendary gathering place for the dead.
Mo Xiaoxin woke up with a start, muttering, "Leng Huai is at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm..."
She called out to the system: "System, do you know where the pinnacle of the Divine Realm is?"
System: "I only provide the key, but I don't know where it is."
Mo Xiaoxin said anxiously, "If you tell me, I'll buy this key right away!"
She knew the system must have some task in mind, wanting her to spend the money.
The system scratched its head: "Huh? But I really don't know."
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer even with these questions, Mo Xiaoxin sighed and decided not to make things difficult for the system.
She asked around the Demon Palace, but no one knew where the Divine Realm was.
Left with no other choice, he left the palace and went to the Yue family to look for Yue Ke and see if she had any clues.
Upon arriving at the Yue family home, they discovered that Xian Fei was a guest there, but this time, it seemed that his sycophantic target had become Yue Si.
"Sister Yue Si, after spending this time together, I finally understand my feelings. I don't even know when I fell in love with you." Xian Fei took out a box of exquisite jewelry and handed it to Yue Si.
Yue Si rolled her eyes and pouted, "It's not like I don't have jewelry."
As she spoke with disdain, she picked up a golden mirror from the box and examined it closely.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Xian Fei hurriedly said, "Sister Yue Si has a good eye! This is not just an ordinary mirror, but also a protective magic artifact, worth millions!"
Mo Xiaoxin glanced at the mirror; wasn't this Liu Qing's mirror?
Yue Si rolled her eyes again: "Isn't this a gift from Sister Liu Qing to thank you for the pills she gave her?"
Xian Fei said seriously, "Yes, yes, that means my pills are worth millions."
Yue Si silently pursed her lips and put down the mirror.
Yue Ke covered her mouth and chuckled. When she caught a glimpse of Mo Xiaoxin out of the corner of her eye, she immediately stood up and said, "Why did the Demon Queen suddenly come to visit? The servants didn't even inform us."
Mo Xiaoxin smiled and said, "I asked them not to announce it. I brought you gifts this time."
Yue Si's eyes lit up the moment she heard about the gift: "A gift? What gift?"
Mo Xiaoxin took out a phoenix hairpin and rouge: "These are for you."
Yue Si picked up the phoenix hairpin, her eyes shining: "This is so exquisite!"
Xian Fei muttered softly to himself, "Although it's not as precious as the Demon Queen's, mine isn't bad either..."
Yue Si glared at him, and Xian Fei immediately shut up.
Yue Si picked up the rouge and face powder again: "Isn't this the most fashionable and sought-after item in the Demon Market? Sister Mo, you're amazing, you can even get your hands on this!"
Xian Fei: "The rouge and face powder I prepared for you are all new styles that haven't been released on the market yet..."
Before Yue Si could even glare at him, he deflated.
Mo Xiaoxin chuckled: "Yes, yes, these are indeed goods supplied by the Xian family. Xian Fei is the primary source of these goods."
With Mo Xiaoxin's support, Xian Fei straightened his back and said, "See? Even the Demon Queen has said so."
Yue Si snorted softly and ignored him.
Mo Xiaoxin then took out a sword that gleamed with golden light: "This is a sword that I specially had made, to thank you for protecting the Demon Realm at the critical moment."
Xian Fei blinked, somewhat incredulous, and asked, "Is this a gift for me?"
Mo Xiaoxin nodded.
Xian Fei was so moved that he wept bitterly.
"There are also gifts prepared for Li Zhao and Liu Qing. Please give them to them."
Mo Xiaoxin looked at Yue Ke one last time. Yue Ke gave off a gentle and serene beauty, as if she were detached from worldly affairs, but Mo Xiaoxin knew that this was just a protective facade. In reality, she was full of ambition: "The Yue family has made great contributions to this invasion of the demon realm. Therefore, I am presenting the Ice Snow Lotus to the head of the Yue family."
Yue Ke froze, staring at the Snow Lotus in Mo Xiaoxin's hand: "Snow Lotus..."
Mo Xiaoxin: "From now on, the Yue family will be the head of the three major families. Yue Ke, I hope you will not forget your original intention to protect the Demon Realm."
Yue Ke took the Snow Lotus and nodded solemnly: "But Your Majesty, you must have come here today for more than just this matter, right?"
Mo Xiaoxin smiled and said, "As expected of the Yue family head, you guessed it so quickly. I came here today to ask if anyone has heard of the Pinnacle of the Divine Realm?"
Yue Ke and Yue Si both shook their heads.
Xian Fei: "Your Majesty the Demon Queen has come to the right person. I have heard of this place. It is said to be in a mysterious corner of the Demon Market, and only those with a special destiny can see it."
Mo Xiaoxin finally heard that someone knew, and she asked eagerly, "Have you been here before? Do you know where the entrance is?"
Xian Fei scratched his head: "I've never been there. Maybe I'm just not meant to be."
Now that she knew the location, Mo Xiaoxin didn't linger. After saying goodbye to everyone, she set off.
