Chapter 92 Demon Lord 092%
The Kunlun Stone is hidden in Qu Yaoyao's Qiankun bag.
She had already decided to give it to him, but when she really came in front of him, Qu Yaoyao didn't have the courage to hand it over to him.
"How many Kunlun stones do you have in your hand now?" She held the red crystal in her palm, and because she squeezed it too tightly, her finger bones turned white.
Chao Yuan glanced at the Kunlun stones and was satisfied. He walked towards her and casually replied, "Including the one in your hand, there are four."
There are five Kunlun stones: red, yellow, blue, white, and black. Besides the red stone in Qu Yaoyao's hand, Chao Yuan holds the yellow, white, and blue stones, which he spent a hundred years searching for.
There is only one last piece of black stone left, representing the Yinsha underground. As long as he finds the black stone, he can reopen the Kunlun Sacred Mountain.
The cold fingertips gently brushed Qu Yaoyao's fingertips, and Chao Yuan's hand fell on the Kunlun Stone in her palm. However, Qu Yaoyao did not let go. Instead, she grasped the stone tighter as Chao Yuan moved, with such force that her wrist trembled, and the hard stone hurt her palm.
"What do you mean?" Chao Yuan looked up at her but didn't force her.
Qu Yaoyao was scared.
Handing over the Kunlun Stone would mean once again handing her life over to Chao Yuan. She didn't want to die, at least not like herself in her dream, abandoned and helpless, left to burn to ashes in the flames of karma.
"I..." Qu Yaoyao blinked her dry eyes, not knowing what to say.
She didn't dare look at Chao Yuan, only staring at the Kunlun Stone in her hand. So she didn't know what expression Chao Yuan had on her face. She only heard him call her name without emotion, asking, "Do you regret this?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head, "I'm just scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
Chao Yuan's question was light and casual, as if he genuinely didn't know why Qu Yaoyao was so afraid. As Chao Yuan withdrew his hand and stood up straight, she hid her hand, clutching the Kunlun Stone, in her sleeve, mustered up the courage to look up and ask him, "You really don't know?"
Chao Yuan frowned, his expression frank and unfaithful, "What should I know?"
Know... She is the key to unlocking the seal of Kunlun Mountain.
Qu Yaoyao bit her lip, not daring to ask the rest. She hesitated, and when Chao Yuan asked for the Kunlun Stone again, she pleaded in a low voice, "Can you please leave this Kunlun Stone with me until you find the last one?"
As she spoke, she looked at Chao Yuan timidly and uneasily, her eyes red and watery as if rippling with light, like a fragile and harmless little animal.
Chao Yuan looked at her without saying anything. His face showed few expressions. Because of his stunning appearance, he looked a bit cold and aggressive when silent. He looked fierce and difficult to approach.
Qu Yaoyao was very afraid that he would not agree. If he tried to snatch it away by force, she would be completely powerless to resist.
Qu Yaoyao swallowed nervously, her eyelashes trembling, and her lips, slightly swollen from being sucked, opened slightly. She said reluctantly and softly, "Please."
If Chao Yuan's collection of Kunlun stones is her destined and unchangeable outcome, then she only hopes that before she dies, she can hold the only remaining chance of survival in her own hands.
Qu Yaoyao had always been stubborn and strong-willed. This was the first time she had ever been so humble to Chao Yuan. Chao Yuan froze slightly, and before she could say the next word, he coldly demanded, "What tricks are you trying to pull?"
"...I didn't." Qu Yaoyao had no intention of fighting with Chao Yuan.
She said frankly, "Ever since I decided to give you the Kunlun Stone, I've been having nightmares. I'm very uneasy and scared now, as if... I'll die if I give you the Kunlun Stone."
There was actually some tentativeness in what she said, and she stared at Chao Yuan's face eagerly after she finished speaking.
Chao Yuan thought she was talking nonsense and chuckled a few times with a hint of sarcasm. Obviously, this reason could not impress Chao Yuan. Qu Yaoyao even saw a clear rejection on his face.
She didn't want to give up, so she continued to persuade him, "I had already written a farewell letter when I came out, and I will never return to the Immortal Ruins."
"I really don't have any conspiracy, nor do I want to regret it. I just, just... Anyway, I'm staying with you. I can't run away. Besides, didn't you poison me?"
"If I ever make you suspicious, you can just poison me and take the Kunlun Stone. It's in my Qiankun bag."
As she said this, without waiting for Chao Yuan's consent, she put the Kunlun Stone into the Qiankun bag right under his nose. The Qiankun bag, which was pink and chic with small pearls hanging on it, was tied around her waist.
After she finished all this, she asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"
Chao Yuan watched her actions indifferently, laughing inwardly and asked, "You've already put the Kunlun Stone back. Now you're asking me what I mean. Don't you think it's a bit pretentious?"
His little flower has learned bad things.
Qu Yaoyao felt embarrassed by what he said, but she didn't hear any obvious displeasure from his tone. Since he didn't stop her behavior, he acquiesced.
After figuring out what Chao Yuan meant, Qu Yaoyao quickly changed the subject, "Why did you ask me to meet you in Yingxian City? Are you taking me somewhere else?"
Chao Yuan really wanted to take her somewhere, but seeing Qu Yaoyao's frail and exhausted appearance, he suddenly changed his mind and said in a less than pleasant tone, "I have other things to do. Let Huang Ying take you back to Fenyuan Palace first."
"I don't..." Qu Yaoyao didn't finish her refusal when Chao Yuan interrupted her, "Think carefully before answering me."
"Do you think you still have the right to say no?"
Qu Yaoyao calmed down. With the heavy Kunlun Stone hanging on her waist, she really didn't have the courage to refuse.
Chao Yuan had made up his mind and was not going to change it. Before leaving, he took a few steps and suddenly turned back. Qu Yaoyao was leaning against the table with her head down in a daze when she suddenly felt a shadow coming from the ground.
"What's going on..." Looking up, Qu Yaoyao saw the man coming back. Before she could ask her question, her cheek was pinched by a big hand.
The chubby cheeks were squeezed and forced to open the lips. Chao Yuan covered her face and pressed down, directly bending Qu Yaoyao and pressing her onto the table behind him.
"Hmm." Her body was bent, but fortunately Qu Yaoyao's body was flexible enough, so it was just difficult to support herself. As she gasped for breath, she felt her lower lip being bitten, and something passed through Chao Yuan's tongue.
Forced to accept, the sweet floral fragrance soon filled his lips and teeth. Chao Yuan pinched Qu Yaoyao's face and kissed her hard again. He sucked a few times, and when the person made a swallowing motion, he slowly raised his cheek, broke the sweet thread and rubbed Qu Yaoyao's cheek.
"This is the antidote to suppress the onset of the poison." Chao Yuan's voice was low and pleasant, bewitching.
He inserted his fingers into Qu Yaoyao's hair and rubbed it. Seeing that the person in his arms was confused and weak, he whispered in her ear: "Be good, and I won't let you die."
This was his response to Qu Yaoyao's previous concerns.
“…”
Qu Yaoyao didn't know where Chao Yuan had gone. When she came out of the room, only Huang Ying was standing outside the door leaning against the wall.
Still wearing an eye-catching yellow dress, Huang Ying was tall and slender, with delicate features that were still bright and charming even without makeup. Seeing Qu Yaoyao coming out, she patted the wrinkles on her skirt and stretched lazily, "Let's go."
Qu Yaoyao was about to follow when Huang Ying paused with a "oh" and grabbed a beautiful veiled hat with fluttering white gauze out of thin air. Turning around, she placed the hat on Qu Yaoyao's head. Qu Yaoyao subconsciously raised her hand and asked, "What does this mean?"
"I'm afraid you'll get caught."
Huang Ying leaned forward slightly, looked at her face through the white veil, and asked with a smile, "Did you escape from the Immortal Ruins?"
"I didn't run away." Qu Yaoyao corrected seriously, "I left a letter when I left, telling them not to look for me."
"Is there any difference?" Huang Ying saw through her at a glance, "You definitely didn't write who you were looking for, right? Are you too guilty to write it?"
"With Mo Xuanxiao's personality, he would have guessed it even if you didn't write it. Do you think he would tolerate you hanging out with demons and monsters?"
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth, but Huang Ying blocked her off and she didn't know how to respond. She found that everyone seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, but she was the only one who was so stupid that no one could see through her.
"Hurry up." Huang Ying grabbed Qu Yaoyao's sleeve because she thought she was walking too slowly, but cleverly avoided the back of her hand.
Qu Yaoyao discovered a long time ago that although Huang Ying seemed easy-going and easy to get along with, she was actually a very distant and indifferent person. She seemed not to like touching others. She gave people a feeling of being very close to them, but in fact she was always secretly trying to control the scale.
Intently testing, Qu Yaoyao turned her wrist slightly and tried to pull Huang Ying's hand. Huang Ying's hand trembled, and she quickly pushed her away as if she had touched fire.
"What are you doing?" Huang Ying turned to look at her.
At this time, the two of them had already arrived on the street. In order to conceal her identity, her red-gold pupils turned into a rich, deep black. Only if you looked closely could you see some hazy golden-red.
Qu Yaoyao hid her hands back in her sleeves, pretending to be innocent. "I didn't do anything."
"You're trying to pull my clothes off. I just want to hold your hand."
Huang Ying narrowed her eyes and said with a forced smile, "Really?"
She always had a smiling face and never showed any obvious emotion. She couldn't see Qu Yaoyao's face clearly through the veil, so she quickly averted her gaze, crossed her arms, turned around, and spoke slowly, "Then I won't pull you, just follow closely."
Qu Yaoyao straightened her sleeves that were pulled long by her and followed her obediently.
Along the way, Qu Yaoyao saw many cultivators hurrying by, including some from the Wanmen Xianzong. The more she looked, the more curious it seemed to her. As they reached the outskirts, they encountered another group of cultivators from a foreign land, dressed strangely. These disciples stopped and walked, and upon seeing Qu Yaoyao and her companions, one of them approached and politely asked, "Excuse me, is this Yingxian City?"
Qu Yaoyao was about to answer when Huang Ying raised her chin in a haughty manner and said indifferently, "Can't you see these three words on the plaque, or are you illiterate?"
Not far away, a large plaque was hung above the city gate. The three words "Yingxian City" were clearly written on it. Qu Yaoyao could see it clearly even through the veil.
The disciple had a good temper. After being ridiculed, he did not get angry but rather felt a little shy. He bowed respectfully again and said, "I am a disciple of the Miaowu Sect in the Western Regions. This is my first time here and I am not very familiar with the lower realm. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
"Actually, I wanted to ask, if I want to go to Gunan Island, do I have to go through Yingxian City?"
Qu Yaoyao didn't know much about this and couldn't answer the question. She thought Huang Ying didn't know either, but Huang Ying just said "oh" and suddenly asked, "Are you going to Gu Nan City?"
"Yes, yes, girl, do you know where it is?"
Huang Ying didn't say much, but kindly pointed out a way for them. "Go north into the city and take the waterway. You can get there directly, but you better hurry, the boat is about to leave."
"Thank you, young lady."
Upon hearing this, the Miaowu Cult members hurried away, while Qu Yaoyao looked at Huang Ying curiously, "How do you know so much?"
Yingxian City is well-connected, with thousands of immortal sects from the upper realm towering overhead. To the north lies the long, winding Mobei River, which empties into the sea. Numerous ships ply the city, and both land and sea are well-developed. Qu Yaoyao had been to Yingxian City many times, but had never noticed the direction the ships led to, nor had she heard of Gunan Island City.
Huang Ying was a little surprised as she watched them walk away. "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
Huang Ying turned to look at her, "Didn't Mo Xuanxiao tell you? A few days ago, a mysterious vortex appeared out of nowhere on Gunan Island, swallowing up the entire city of Gunan, along with the people and plants in the city. The various immortal sects are sending people to rescue them."
No wonder there are suddenly so many cultivators in the city.
Qu Yaoyao was a little confused, "Mo Xuanxiao... didn't tell me."
She took a moment to react, then realized that Chao Yuan had also asked her to meet here. Her heart suddenly jumped. "What is the connection between the secret vortex in Gunan City and the demon world?"
"It doesn't matter. You don't think we did it, do you?"
Huang Ying sneered: "We don't have the ability to devour a city. If we insist on being related, it must be related to the Demon Lord."
"What do you mean?"
Qu Yaoyao was very uneasy. Seeing Huang Ying take two steps towards her, she smiled and said, "As far as I know, the secret vortex in Gunan City is caused by the Kunlun Stone. Why do you think Chao Yuan asked you to meet here?"
"Because he also wants to go to Gunan City."
Gu Nan City was swallowed by the vortex of the secret realm, which was made of Kunlun Stone. So Chao Yuan had to go to Gu Nan City to get the last piece of Kunlun Stone. But how could Kunlun Stone be so easy to get?
Qu Yaoyao's mind was in a mess. Without thinking, she wanted to chase after the Miao Wu Sect disciples. Huang Ying pulled her back and asked, "Where are you going?"
Qu Yaoyao regretted it, "I want to go to Gunan City too."
These days, the Wanmen Immortal Sect has been monitoring the unusual movements in the demon world. Now that such a big thing has happened on the island, Mo Xuanxiao will definitely go there in person.
After taking two steps forward, she was pulled back by Huang Ying. Huang Ying said coldly, "I have been ordered to send you to the demon world safely. What will I do if you leave?"
Qu Yaoyao was forced to stop where she was. "What do you want?"
Huang Ying lowered her eyelashes, "It's very simple."
She slowly drew the soft sword from her sleeve and said, "If you can defeat me, I will let you go."
