Chapter 93 Chapter 93 I'm here to pick up my fiancée
Indeed, if Fu Ying convicted her of a crime, she would immediately have no place to live in the demon world.
But would Fu Yin do that? Of course not. If he wanted her to have a miserable end, he wouldn't even need to say a word. He only needed to press the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet for five days and she would naturally die. At that time, even saying a word would be a burden.
There are many ways to kill her, why this one.
The group of monks who came under the pretext of sanctioning Sang Ling left in disgrace. It was unknown whether they really went to Fu Yan. Anyway, she didn't care. And because of their arrival, the feeling of sharing the same hatred against the enemy made the atmosphere between her and her fans quickly return to the original state.
Sang Ling had never thought that she would be forgiven so easily by her fans. She wanted to be forgiven and thought of many ways to make amends, but she did not expect to be forgiven the first time she confessed.
Feelings are a very mysterious thing. She didn't feel anything when she was punished and insulted by the monks from the Hall of Evil. After the storm calmed down, she lowered her eyes and looked at the concerned eyes of her fans. Her eyes were slightly red and she didn't dare to look up.
Gou Qiu was very happy. Although the guillotine of death was still hanging over Sang Ling's head, at least it was a precursor to victory.
Originally, she didn't understand why Sang Ling gave the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet to Lord Demon and gambled her life on his thoughts. Now she can understand a little.
Lord Demon has so many ways to tease Sang Ling, and almost every one of them involves her life. Sang Ling is very smart, but there are always times when she cannot be fully prepared. It is better to use a death crisis to gamble on countless death crises in the future. If Lord Demon wants Sang Ling to be alive this time, it means he wants her to be alive, so at least he can have some peace of mind.
It's just that Sang Ling has been very hard and tired along the way.
Gou Qiu raised his head to look at Sang Ling, and his eyes changed from the joy that he used to feel for Sang Ling's strength to heartache, the same look as his fans had.
The free stage ended very late. For some unknown reason, Sang Ling kept delaying the time. The fans and monks from the outer city were also reluctant to leave and just stayed here together until the night slowly fell. Only then did Sang Ling finally get up and end the free stage.
The fans also left reluctantly. Sang Ling, as usual, stood on the stage and watched the fans leave silently. Gou Qiu stood beside her and heard her say softly:
“I don’t know if I can see him again.”
Gou Qiu's heart sank all of a sudden. It seemed that Sang Ling was not optimistic about the bet between her and Lord Demon.
In the end, the free stage ended, and Sang Ling and Gou Qiu returned to Chunming Pavilion.
Gou Qiu followed Sang Ling back to the villa. As soon as she entered the villa, she asked anxiously, "How about it? Do you think Lord Demon will give you the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet?"
Sang Ling just said: "If he wants to give it, he will give it tonight."
Gou Qiu's face immediately showed tension. This was like a trial, and the result would be known within this evening.
"Well, are you sure?"
Sang Ling shook her head, "If you are sure, it's not a bet."
Gou Qiu could almost hear her own heartbeat, but she still comforted him, "It's okay, you've come through it so many times, believe in yourself."
This sentence of comfort was more of a comfort to herself than to Sang Ling. After spending so much time together, she no longer regarded Sang Ling as a treasure to strengthen Chunming Pavilion, but as a friend, a relative, and a very important person.
So important that she couldn't accept her death.
Gou Qiu's condition was visibly getting worse. Sang Ling comforted her but didn't dare let her stay in the villa, so she stood up and sent her out.
When leaving the villa, I ran into Hu Yanyan head-on. These days, Hu Yanyan seemed a little angry and embarrassed, always avoiding me. Today's meeting was the first time they met in these few days.
Sang Ling smiled at her. She could understand Hu Yanyan's feelings, but she was also frustrated that she avoided her. If the situation got worse, she only had five days, and she didn't want to not be able to see Hu Yanyan properly in those five days.
Hu Yanyan did not avoid it this time, but met her gaze. As soon as she met her gaze, Hu Yanyan's upturned and flamboyant eyes immediately turned red, and her mouth flattened. The next second, Sang Ling was hugged by her.
"I'm sorry Sang Ling, I was so stupid. I didn't know you were so tired."
Hu Yanyan kept talking as if she had a lot of things to say to Sang Ling. Obviously, Hu Yanyan knew what she said on the free stage today.
She continued, "I only know how to throw tantrums. I am not worthy of being your friend. I don't understand you at all..."
Sang Ling was left in tears and laughter by her series of self-criticisms. She was held by Hu Yanyan, and next to her was Gou Qiu, whose eyes had turned even redder as he watched the scene. She was unable to react for a moment.
She patted Hu Yanyan's back and answered her softly.
"I should tell you, and Gou Qiu, I'm afraid you'll worry, but lying is always bad."
Hu Yanyan cried even louder. Fortunately, they were in a villa where not many people were around, otherwise it would have caused a sensation.
Compared to Hu Yanyan, Gou Qiu was much more mature, and even when he turned his back to wipe his tears, he did it in a covert way.
Later, it was Gou Qiu who pulled Hu Yanyan down and then took her away. Sang Ling said that the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet would be returned tonight or not. Gou Qiu was afraid that the two of them would disrupt the plan here, so she quickly took Hu Yanyan, who was crying non-stop, away.
After they left, the entire courtyard quickly became quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing across the eaves and the corridor, making a heavy sound like knocking on wood.
Sang Ling sat back in the room. Mo Shengze and Mo Palace were in the same direction. He sent his spiritual power towards that direction, but there was still no unusual movement.
She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly throughout the night.
The next day when the sun rose, Sang Ling opened the door and saw Gou Qiu standing outside.
Gou Qiu looked extremely nervous. When he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "How is it?"
She looked at Sang Ling's expression, which was as calm and peaceful as usual. She couldn't see any results. Gou Qiu didn't dare to slack off for a moment last night, didn't dare to rest or be busy. She just sat in the room with her ears perked up to listen to all the movements. Any movement seemed like hope to her. When it was quiet outside, she felt panic in her heart. She spent the whole night in this anxious way.
She didn't dare to come too early this morning. She waited until the time when Chunming Pavilion was open before she dared to go to the villa and stand guard at the gate of Sangling.
Seeing Sang Ling coming out, she asked carefully.
"How about it?"
Sang Ling closed the door and shook his head.
Gou Qiu's hand suddenly trembled, and his voice shook uncontrollably.
"What do you mean, the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet...didn't come?"
Sang Ling was unusually calm and said, "No."
Gou Qiu was a little unsteady on her feet, and her spirit and tone of voice were trembling as she stood.
"Why didn't you come?"
Why didn’t Lord Demon come? Why wouldn't the Demon Lord send the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet? Does he really want Sang Ling to die? But this shouldn't be the case.
Sang Ling took two steps forward and supported Gou Qiu. Gou Qiu struggled to break free but supported Sang Ling instead. How could she be the one who was most affected? Although Sang Ling did not show it on her face, she was even more upset than her.
Gou Qiu supported her, and Sang Ling did not resist. The two sat down in the room. Gou Qiu still asked unwillingly:
"What should I do now?"
Sang Ling finally showed confusion and helplessness on her face. She said:
"I have no idea."
She really didn't know that the reason why a gambling is called a gambling is because of the luck and uncertainty involved, which is addictive and can also be fatal.
She told Gou Qiu that success or failure depended on last night because she estimated that last night was the most likely outcome. Since the first time she met Fu Yan, she had been trying to understand him as much as possible, including his past weaknesses or any mental problems. Based on her understanding, she set up the bet.
Fu Ying should be the most powerful person in the Three Realms. A strong person is always surrounded by brilliance, but he is not. There is a kind of listlessness and decadence in him, like a bunch of dry grass, which will be burned up in a bang when a wildfire comes. His cultivation is so powerful that it is unfathomable, but in some aspects, he is also fragile.
He had no emotions, no joy or anger, not because he didn't want to, but because he could no longer have them. He was the very opposite of Sang Ling herself. If Fu Yin was an empty shell, then she might be a tiny spark that could only fuel the flames when the wind blew. She burned vigorously, making Fu Yin look even more empty.
Therefore, she realized very early that she had some special feelings for Fu Wei. Perhaps it was because of the extreme differences between the two of them, or perhaps it was because of Fu Wei's prey game. It was probably both.
She spent a lot of time trying to understand Fu Wei and his past, but didn't get any key information. Fu Wei had a strong sense of loneliness. He was a man who came from nowhere and suddenly took over the demon world. He had no past and no future. From that moment on, she felt that Fu Wei had been betrayed by someone. There was no evidence, just a feeling.
Fu Wei's teasing of her was like playing a trust game, separating her from her fans step by step, and striving to make her fans hate betraying her, and on the surface he did it.
So, in yesterday's free stage, what she wanted to show Fu Wei was the trust and love that he had never understood. Her fans never gave up on betraying her, and she never doubted her fans for a moment.
If there was any opportunity for Fu Yan to return the Taichu Life and Death Bracelet to her, she thought it must have been last night.
The fact is, Fu Ying didn't come.
But on the contrary, Sang Ling felt calm, as if it didn't matter whether she returned it or not. In the absence of absolute strength, she could only rely on Fu Yan's thoughts.
She spent a lot of time getting to know him, gambled her life on him, and then found out that she was wrong.
It is impossible to prove to him that trust and love are needed. Maybe he is really a heartless and loveless person. Maybe he has never been betrayed by anyone. Maybe he really came out of a crack in a rock.
Life is about experience. She lives well in both worlds and has a lot of love. For her, any ending is good.
The first one who couldn't bear it was Gou Qiu. Sang Ling had never seen her cry out loud. She was the manager of Chunming Pavilion and the support of everyone, but now she couldn't help but burst into tears in front of Sang Ling.
She cried until her voice was intermittent, and Sang Ling listened very carefully to understand what she said:
"I will go to the Demon Lord and ask for mercy."
Sang Ling hugged her and shook her head. Although Gou Qiu had served under Fu Nian for a hundred years, everyone knew that it was impossible to plead with Fu Nian. If pleading was useful, the foundation of the Demon Palace would not be white bones.
Day 4 of the countdown to death.
Public opinion surrounding Sang Ling is still heated and has now been completely divided into two factions. One faction, led by Sang Ling's fans, believes that Sang Ling is not only innocent but has made contributions to the Demon World. The other faction, led by the Hall of Evil, firmly believes that she is a running dog of the Immortal World and should be punished by the Demon Lord.
In order to make Fu Yin punish her, the monks from the Hall of Evil stood guard outside the Demon Palace every day and insisted that their respected Lord Demon would order her to be punished. Public opinion grew louder and louder, and the situation escalated, to the point that several fights had even broken out. But even so, there was still no movement from the Demon Palace.
There was no movement in the Demon Palace, but there was movement outside the city gate.
Outside the gate of Chao City, a large group of demon soldiers were approaching, and spirit boats were densely spread out in the sky outside the city gate. Standing in the front spirit boat was the demon prince Ao Ze, and next to Ao Ze stood Sheng Sheng, who had grown taller.
On the walls of the Nest City, the demon soldiers quickly gathered and prepared to meet the enemy.
Ao Ze waved his hand, and the spirit boats behind him landed one after another, but he did not make any move. He walked to the gate of Chao City alone with Sheng Sheng. In front of him were tens of thousands of demon soldiers who were eyeing him covetously. He brought Sheng Sheng into the city gate like this, and the demon soldiers behind him seemed to be well prepared and did not react at all.
The moment they entered the Nest City, Fu Yan's slightly smiling question came from the direction of the Demon Palace;
"Why, are you demons going to attack the Nest City?"
Ao Ze bowed and replied, "The Demon Lord has misunderstood. I am only here to pick someone up. My father is worried about my safety, so he sent so many people to follow me."
Fu Wei's sneer came from the Demon Palace. "To pick someone up? It seems that this person is very important to the prince. With such a big fuss, who is it..."
Ao Ze said calmly, "Sorry to bother you, Master Demon. I'm here to pick up my fiancée."
fiancée……
Such a grand ceremony at the city gate attracted many cultivators to come and watch. They were all surprised that the fiancée of the demon prince would actually appear in the main city of the demon world, Nest City, and that such a grand ceremony was needed to welcome her.
The Demon Palace fell silent for a long time. Ao Ze waited for a moment, looked up suspiciously, and said politely:
"I'm here to pick up my fiancée."
There was finally movement from the Demon Palace, and the first sound was Fu Yan's laughter.
"I didn't know that you had a fiancée, Prince."
Ao Ze looked calm as he looked at the cultivators gathered around him, "Several years ago, I made an engagement with Sang Ling, a disciple of Cangwu Immortal Palace."
The cultivators gathered around were all shocked. Now everyone knew who Sang Ling from Cangwu Immortal Mansion was. Her affairs had caused a lot of sensation in the demon world. No one expected that she was actually the fiancée of the demon prince.
There were gasps everywhere, but Fu Wei's voice was indifferent, "She has betrayed Cang Wu Immortal Mansion."
"I agree with her choice, but the engagement is private and still stands."
A short laugh came from the Demon Palace, like the sound of a rumbling chest, mocking and amusing, "So, the prince really likes her."
Ao Ze answered quickly, "Yes, I like her."
He looked up with a serious expression on his face, except for a slight smile when he mentioned Sang Ling's name.
There was no sound from the Demon Palace.
Ao Ze waited for a while but still didn't hear Fu Ying's next words, so he took Sheng Sheng into Chao City and walked towards Chunming Pavilion.
Fu Wei did not order to stop Ao Ze, so the demon soldiers naturally did not dare to do anything to Ao Ze. The cultivators who came to watch the fun only dared to watch from afar because of his status. In this way, he and Sheng Sheng arrived at Chunming Pavilion unhindered.
Gou Qiu only found out about this when Ao Ze and Sheng Sheng arrived at Chunming Pavilion. She had been immersed in a sad atmosphere the whole day and immediately became excited when she heard the news that Ao Ze was coming. No matter what, Ao Ze was the prince of the demon tribe, and maybe he had a way to solve Sang Ling's problem.
Gou Qiu didn't have time to tell Sang Ling that Ao Ze and Sheng Sheng had arrived at Chunming Pavilion. He immediately went out to welcome them in and brought them directly to the Oiran's villa.
When he walked to Sang Ling's attic, he looked up and saw Sang Ling writing something in front of the window. Her face was calm, and she was writing very seriously with her head down. Gou Qiu really admired her character.
Downstairs in the attic, Ao Ze and Sheng Sheng tilted their heads slightly upwards to look at Sang Ling in front of the window. Gou Qiu touched Sheng Sheng and said to her, "I'll take you to see your sister Sang Ling."
She pulled Shengsheng but couldn't move her. Shengsheng just stared at Sang Ling stubbornly, looking at her again and again, not wanting to miss a single moment. In the past six months, Shengsheng has grown up a lot and now looks like a girl of eleven or twelve years old. Only the attachment on her face has not changed. She called softly with red eyes:
"elder sister."
In her eyes, Sang Ling looked up in surprise and smiled brilliantly.
