Chapter 121 Ah Zhuo, You Are Here
The lake was crystal clear above the surface, but it was murky and dark inside. Even someone with excellent eyesight like Dongfang Qi could only make out a little.
At this moment, the leopard beast was dancing and jumping in the water, drooling as it looked at Lin Qingyue who was trapped in the icicle in front of it.
"I couldn't eat the one before, so I used him as bait, and sure enough, you took the bait. Hahaha, you have all three souls and a complete body. Once I eat your soul, I will attach myself to your body and leave this land of red shadows!"
After saying that, he opened his mouth wide and prepared to eat, but he bit the icicle and it hurt his teeth.
"Ptah, pah, pah!" He spat out the ice chips in his mouth.
"No, you can't eat it like this. It won't taste pure."
"But if we melt the ice... that won't work either. We won't be able to trap this vicious woman then."
After much hesitation, it thought, "How about waiting until she dies from the icy energy? Then I can eat her. Even if the taste isn't as fresh, it's safer!"
At this moment, I suddenly felt the sound of floating water waves behind me.
The leopard beast hurriedly turned around and saw a flash of sword light. The next moment, its head was chopped off, and a large amount of blood instantly dyed the surrounding water scarlet.
At the last moment of its life, the leopard beast only saw a white figure swooping down from the water, and it turned out to be the owner of the remnant soul.
The next moment, the ferocious beast, separated from its corpse, sank to the bottom of the lake.
Without the support of the ferocious beast's power, the lake water gradually became clear, and even the blood was diluted by the lake water.
Dongfang stood up and walked to Lin Qingyue's icicle, chopped it with a sword, and the icicle shattered into several pieces of ice and disappeared into the water.
Lin Qingyue was able to escape, opened her eyes and pointed at the lake.
Dongfang Qi nodded, and the two of them dived and rushed out of the water.
Arriving at the lakeshore, Lin Qingyue wiped the water off her face and looked at Dongfang Qi in surprise. "You merged your soul so quickly? Didn't I tell you not to rush after finding your Heavenly Soul, and to slowly merge it after we get out?"
At this moment, Dongfang Qi's face was extremely pale. "You were in danger, I couldn't just ignore you. But I was missing a soul, and I couldn't even protect myself and help you. That's why I took the risk of merging souls. Fortunately... I made it in time."
Lin Qingyue said, "It's just a leopard beast. It can't hurt me. I'm just trapped for a while. I can get out by myself after a while. Why are you taking risks for me?"
"But I... don't dare to gamble..." He finally couldn't hold on any longer after trying so hard, and he passed out.
Lin Qingyue caught his body in time before he fell.
His body was weak, his face pale as paper, not even his lips showing color. Although his three souls were complete, they were extremely unstable and could leave his body at any time.
Lin Qingyue knew that this was a state of near death.
The fusion of souls normally requires three days of breathing exercises, but in order to save Lin Qingyue, he not only forcibly compressed the time for the fusion of souls, but also rashly used his spiritual power - such behavior was tantamount to risking his life, overdrawing his already precious vitality.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyue was by his side and provided him with spiritual power in time to stabilize his restless soul, which eased the critical situation a little.
Even so, he was still in a coma, breathing weakly, and his condition was worrying.
Lin Qingyue carried him on her back, tilting her head slightly to the side so she could see his closed eyes. His eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his pale eyes.
She couldn't help but say, "What a fool! Aren't you afraid of death?"
In past and present lives, there are very few trustworthy people around Lin Qingyue.
There were only two people who were willing to risk their lives for her, regardless of everything. One was Ah Zhuo, and the other was the fool lying on her back.
At this moment, Dongfang Qi fell into a deep dream.
In his dream, he was still floating in the water, searching everywhere for Lin Qingyue's figure.
Deputy Envoy Lin always looks confident about everything, but how can he accept her care with peace of mind and stand idly by when she is in trouble?
Even if I die, I will protect her!
"Where are you, Deputy Envoy Lin? Deputy Envoy Lin!"
The dark lake water was filled with a biting chill. He groped desperately under the water, but could not find the familiar figure.
Just when he was extremely anxious and almost suffocated, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Is she there?
He swam hard, and the ball of light gradually expanded before his eyes. He kicked his legs hard and jumped into the ball of light.
The moment the light faded, the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.
He found himself standing in a magnificent and luxurious palace. The window lattices of the palace were seven or eight meters high. Looking up, he saw clouds rolling outside, and exotic birds and beasts fluttering their wings through the clouds, their postures leisurely.
Where is this?
Just as he was wondering, a cold yet familiar female voice came from behind him: "A Zhuo, you're here."
He turned around suddenly and saw a woman reclining on a high seat in the center of the hall.
She was wearing a black dress that trailed the ground and an imperial crown on her head. The twelve jade tassels swayed slightly with her movements, and the shimmering light could not conceal the grace and majesty between her brows.
That noble and imposing posture slowly overlapped with a vague figure deep in memory, becoming clearer and clearer.
"Are you... Deputy Envoy Lin?"
"Azhuo, my head hurts. Come over here and rub it for me."
The woman clearly had a face exactly like Lin Qingyue's, but her brows were filled with rage, and the area under the throne was splattered with blood at some point.
The palace servants knelt on the ground, carefully wiping away the blood. When one of them stood up, he accidentally slipped on the water stains on the ground.
The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She rolled over and got up, lying on the ground trembling and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare me. This servant did not mean to do it!"
The woman on the throne opened her eyes impatiently, revealing a murderous look: "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use are you? Drag him away and kill him..."
"Your Majesty!" Dongfang Qi heard himself speak, "She didn't mean it, so why get angry? Does it have a headache? Let me give you a massage."
The murderous look in the woman's eyes instantly disappeared: "Get out."
The palace servants retreated instantly as if they had been pardoned.
The magnificent hall was spotlessly clean and had a faint fragrance.
Dongfang Qi walked to her side, and she leaned over familiarly, calling him softly in a lazy voice: "Azhuo, Azhuo..."
Who is Azhuo?
Dongfang Qi was a little confused, and suddenly he remembered - this was the name His Majesty gave me.
Then who am I?
