Chapter 105 Demon Lord 105%
“…”
Chao Yuan originally wanted to take Xiao Xuelian to the sacred Kunlun Mountain.
But she struggled so hard, looking frightened by him, as if she were afraid he would take her to some strange and terrifying place. Chao Yuan had no choice but to stop in Yingxian City and drop her off in a quiet, secluded suburb.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to take you out for a walk."
Xiao Xuelian pushed his chest away and took a few steps back, but her guard was not lowered by his words.
Chao Yuan could only take out the storybook and tempt her, "Don't you want to continue listening to the story? I've read it in advance, and the rest of the story is very exciting."
Xiao Xuelian was a little confused. She looked around and saw the Immortal Sect looming in the distant sky. She asked, "Where is this place?"
"Yingxian City in the Lower Realm, the closest city to the Wanmen Immortal Sect, a mortal city." Chao Yuan tried to comfort him again. "Don't worry, I just want to find a quiet place to tell you a story. I'll take you back before dawn."
Xiao Xuelian didn't believe that Chao Yuan would be so kind, but seeing that his words were sincere and his expression was unchanged, she reluctantly believed him.
"If you dare to lie to me again, I will never let you go." Xiao Xuelian didn't know why she used the word 'again'. Since she transformed, Chao Yuan had not actually lied to her about anything.
Xiao Xuelian chose a nearly clean surface and sat down there. Chao Yuan followed and sat opposite her. The distance between them was just right, neither too far nor too close, so that they could touch each other just by looking up.
"The little spirit beast chose to follow the eldest brother, even though it meant being deserted by everyone and hunted down by the righteous immortal sects. Unfortunately, she can't stay with the eldest brother for much longer, as a crack has appeared in her soul and she could die at any moment..."
Chao Yuan began to tell the story seriously.
In fact, he had a selfish motive in telling this story. He wanted to use this story to tell his little flower that not all the upright immortals are good people, nor are demons inherently evil or demons inherently cruel and bloodthirsty. Those who fall into the devil do not necessarily commit depravity.
After listening to this story for a long time, Xiao Xuelian did have a slightly changed opinion about the demon, but she was more focused on their love story. She had clearly lost one of her souls and no longer knew what love was, but she was still obsessed with this kind of story about love and affection for the people.
"What happened next?" Xiao Xuelian became more and more fascinated as she listened.
The plot is full of twists and turns. Chao Yuan has already told the story of the little spirit beast being reborn and rescued, transformed into a human and sharing a sweet life with the fallen elder brother. Chao Yuan deliberately pauses the story at a major turning point, flipping through the script in his hand and saying: "The world is about to be destroyed. Only the little spirit beast can save the people. The old Taoist asks her, will she choose the people or her lover?"
"How did the little spirit beast choose?"
Chao Yuan paused, then suddenly looked up and asked her, "What do you think she will choose?"
Xiao Xuelian replied: "I don't know."
"If you were her, would you choose the common people or your lover?" Chao Yuan asked softly. A hundred years ago, Qu Yaoyao had proved to him that compared to him, she loved the common people more.
For the sake of the people, she did not hesitate to stop him from returning to Kunlun Mountain and being trapped in the abyss forever. Now when she thinks back to the day when Kunlun Mountain returned, it still hurts her.
His hope is Qu Yaoyao's despair.
"Do I have to choose?" Xiao Xuelian, who had lost her memory, felt free of any burden, her eyes were clear and no longer contained the sorrow of the past.
She had lost a soul and didn't know what love was. She simply found this story interesting. Now Chao Yuan posed this question to her. She thought for a moment and said, "If I really had to choose, I would choose the common people."
Chao Yuan's eyes dimmed, "Why? My love, don't you want me anymore?"
Xiao Xuelian said, "I don't have a lover, not now, and never will, so I can't possibly be in the same dilemma as the little spirit beast. Actually, I don't understand why a lover is more important than the world. After all, we all belong to the world. If it's gone, then we won't exist either."
"If only sacrificing one person can bring peace to the world, why not?"
...Why not?
The four words hit Chao Yuan with ease, almost knocking him back into the abyss.
He thought that his little flower was really a good flower with a heart that was looking towards the light, but unfortunately she was unlucky and met him.
"The little spirit beast chose her lover." Chao Yuan told her the answer from the book, "The common people are important, but the lover is equally important. For the little spirit beast, the person she loves is her common people."
Xiao Xuelian was stunned for a moment, "How could it be..."
"You won't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you again."
Xiao Xuelian didn't believe it, "Then give me the storybook, I want to read it myself."
Taking the storybook from Chao Yuan's hand, she turned the page and read it word by word, and found that everything Chao Yuan said was true. There was a sentence that impressed Xiao Xuelian so much that she read it several times in a row.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing that she was staring at a certain line, Chao Yuan moved forward.
Xiao Xuelian pointed to him, "Here."
That paragraph reads: The little spirit beast never loved Cangsheng, but her senior brother among Cangsheng. Without her senior brother, Cangsheng was just a cold book in her eyes.
She was puzzled and said, "I don't understand, is love really that important?"
“Very important.”
Xiao Xuelian closed the storybook, still a little confused, "I still can't seem to understand."
"So do you want to try it?"
"How do you try?"
Before they knew it, they were sitting side by side, leaning against each other, Chao Yuan half-holding her in his arms. One of them looked up, the other down, their cool breath mingling with their hot breath, startling Xiao Xuelian so much that she shivered and subconsciously wanted to push him away.
"I... um." With a shadow covering his face, Chao Yuan lowered his head and gently kissed Xiao Xuelian's lips.
It was a very gentle kiss, Chao Yuan's movements were slow and unhurried, and he kept his hand on the back of Xiao Xuelian's neck. Xiao Xuelian was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she pushed him away anxiously. Chao Yuan did not force her, and took the opportunity to increase the distance between them, and asked softly: "Do you feel it?"
"What do you feel!" Xiao Xuelian's lips felt hot and numb, and she jumped up as if she was on fire.
Now it was Chao Yuan who looked up at her.
The black hair slid down her shoulders. The man in red clothes in the snow was stunningly beautiful. He raised his long eyelashes and stared at her, "My love."
Xiao Xuelian couldn't feel anything, so she could only wipe her lips vigorously and said angrily, "I only felt that you were being disrespectful to me."
"Pervert, hooligan! You can even eat a flower."
Xiao Xuelian was angry.
In order to prevent her from getting even angrier, Chao Yuan had no choice but to send her back to Xianxu.
After what happened just now, it was obvious that Mo Xuanxiao must have set up a tight net inside, so Chao Yuan did not go in and held Xiao Xuelian's hand outside.
"for you."
Something cool and soft was stuffed into Xiao Xuelian's palm.
Looking down, she found that lying in her palm was a small snowman made of snow. There was a small flower stuck on the snowman's round head, and her eyes and mouth were inlaid with something, which sparkled when she grinned.
"What are you giving me this for?" Xiao Xuelian loosened her fingers, afraid of breaking the snowman.
Chao Yuan said, "To cheer you up."
Xiao Xuelian was easy to coax, and she was indeed somewhat happy, but when she heard Chao Yuan say this, she put on a stern face and tried not to smile. As she turned to leave, Chao Yuan called her back, "Yaoyao."
In the snow, Chao Yuan looked at her back and said, "If it were me, I would choose you."
To him, Qu Yaoyao is his whole life.
Xiao Xuelian was stunned and wanted to turn around to look at Chao Yuan, but the strong wind and snow blurred her eyes and she could not see anything.
"Don't come to me again."
This was her final response to Chao Yuan.
.
Xiao Xuelian felt that her life these past few days had been too absurd and she shouldn't have been so obsessed with the stories told by Chao Yuan.
She was a flower and shouldn't have any emotions other than flowers. But when she returned to the cold pond and saw the phoenix spirit lying on the edge of the pond, the psychological preparation she had just made collapsed again.
"Why are you still here?" Xiao Xuelian walked up to it.
She was helpless in dealing with this phoenix spirit, unable to drive it away, unable to touch it, and unable to freeze it. The moment she saw it, Xiao Xuelian couldn't help but think of Chao Yuan. When she thought of Chao Yuan, she could no longer be a cold flower.
She inexplicably recalled Chao Yuan's recent flirtations with her. His lips were soft and warm, his breath itchy and hot, mingled with the sharp fragrance of snow coral. It was a strange feeling, one Xiao Xuelian couldn't describe. She only knew that in that moment, her heart beat rapidly, and she felt a certain longing for his closeness.
...This is so weird.
Chao Yuan is so handsome, he must have used some magic to seduce her. She must not be seduced by him again.
"Go away now, don't stay here with me."
Xiao Xuelian squatted in front of the Phoenix and tried to reason with it. "What's the point of you guarding me like this? We are different species, and you can't speak. Aren't you bored lying by the cold pond every day?"
The beautiful phoenix tilted its head and stared calmly at Xiao Xuelian with its scarlet-gold eyes. Its long tail feathers hung to the ground, gleaming with a sparkling luster.
Perhaps understanding Xiao Xuelian's words, it spread its enormous wings and finally leaped from the cold pond, but it flew around her in a circle before landing back at the edge. At the moment it took off, Xiao Xuelian's eyes widened in amazement, and an image of a phoenix swooping down on her appeared in her mind.
The red lotus fire was swirling, and a huge phoenix spread its wings and burned the demons in front of her, emitting star-like lights.
"Chong'an." Xiao Xuelian suddenly called out this name.
Who is Chong'an? Why did she suddenly call Chong'an's name?
Xiao Xuelian began to have a headache again, her soul trembled as if calling for something, and familiar yet unfamiliar pictures appeared before her eyes.
[I am thousands of years older than you. Why don't you just call me Brother Huang?]
【Brother Phoenix? 】
A faint sigh appeared beside my ears: [My name is Chong'an.]
【Yaoyao, forget me. 】
Xiao Xuelian was in so much pain that even her breathing became rapid. She tried to support herself on the ground and enter the cold pool. However, the moment she stood up, she stumbled and fell backwards, and was supported by a pair of strong arms.
"Yaoyao?" Mo Xuanxiao appeared just in time and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
With his appearance, her trembling soul suddenly stopped struggling, and the pain began to subside little by little. She gasped and said, "It's okay, I just... have a headache."
Mo Xuanxiao helped her sit by the cold pond, "Did you remember something?"
"No." From what they said, Xiao Xuelian roughly knew that she had lost a part of her memory. Unlike other people with amnesia, she had never thought about regaining her memory, nor did she think that the lost memory would affect her in any way.
"Then..." Just as he was about to ask something else, the quiet phoenix suddenly flew behind Xiao Xuelian and shouted at Mo Xuanxiao threateningly.
Mo Xuanxiao frowned and dodged the fireball that Lian Chao spit out. He formed a spell with his hands and looked at Xiao Xuelian, "Can I seal it temporarily?"
This is something Mo Xuanxiao had wanted to do a long time ago.
Little Snow Lotus still didn't know that she was Lian Chao's master, and she was still a little confused as to why Mo Xuanxiao asked for her opinion. Thinking of his companionship and protection over the past few days, she lowered her eyelashes and said silently, "Okay."
"Don't hurt it, return it to its owner."
Mo Xuanxiao quickly imprisoned the phoenix with chains and threw it not far from the cold pond.
"It was sent by Chao Yuan. Even if we throw it back, it will come back again."
Xiao Xuelian was still holding the little snowman Chao Yuan had given her. Upon hearing this, she pursed her lips and muttered, "Why does he always pester me?"
Mo Xuanxiao squatted in front of her and said gently, "I have strengthened the barriers around us, but his strength is comparable to mine. If he comes again, I am afraid he can still break through these barriers. I won't be able to defend against him for long."
"Then what should I do..." Xiao Xuelian really didn't want to see him again. She looked back at Hantan and hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll change places."
"No need, this is your home, you don't have to leave here for him."
"But as long as you're still here, he'll always find a way to find you."
"Yaoyao." Looking at Xiao Xuelian's distressed expression, Mo Xuanxiao folded his fingers hidden in his sleeves and said silently, "Actually, I have a way to help you."
"What method?" Xiao Xuelian's eyes lit up.
Mo Xuanxiao's eyes were dark as he looked up at her and asked, "Will you marry me?"
Snap——
The snowman in Xiao Xuelian's hand fell to the ground and shattered into snow.
