Chapter 104 Didn’t you want to give birth to me?
The huge dragon's tail contained inhuman power, and the heavy pressure entangled Shang Youqing. The more Shang Youqing struggled, the deeper he fell.
In the end, even breathing became difficult, and his entire face was forced to stick to the dragon scales that were arranged intricately like an ice armor.
A few phoenix feathers fell messily on the dragon's tail, which was a terrible sight.
The weak spiritual energy condensed by Shang Youqing's fingers was of no use at all. He scratched the scales in front of him with his fingertips, but the scales remained motionless.
Even so, she was unwilling to show weakness. When the hand stretched out from her sleeve and stroked her cheek, Shang Youqing seized the opportunity to turn her head to the side and opened her mouth to bite his wrist that was pressed against her lips.
The tip of her teeth easily pierced the thin, cold, snow-white skin. She bit the bloody bone on her wrist tightly and showed no intention of letting go even though her lips were bleeding.
Until that flat and cold voice came again.
"On the day Shang You shed her dragon tail, she was afraid you would see her tail and then abandon her, so she bit off a piece of her dragon scale. She thought that by pulling out the scale, the dragon tail would disappear."
Shang Youqing's lips and teeth, which were originally pressing against his wrist fiercely, seemed to stop, and he raised his head with a blurred vision of blood and tears.
All her hatred was crushed under his cold gaze.
Ever since being dragged into the dragon cave, Shang Youqing has been deliberately avoiding the issue of the two children she and Ying Shixue had. The only time Ying Shixue mentioned it, she scolded her on the spot and avoided the topic.
Even after learning that everything she had done in the past had been spread across the seas as a joke by Ying Shixue, she never thought of humiliating herself by questioning a single word of it. She just thought it was her own fault and she was reaping the consequences.
She didn't want to mention it.
Everything about the kids.
I don't want to mention a single word.
During the time she was recuperating in Kunlun Mountain, she had reminded herself countless times that it was evidence of her being harmed and used by Ying Shixue, that it was an evil obstacle in the eyes of Heaven, and a hidden danger and threat that should not have existed between heaven and earth.
Every time she told herself this, it hurt as if she had to bite her teeth and swallow the blood and flesh.
Because no matter how much I remind myself or how much I tell myself, I can't erase the fact that it is the flesh and blood I conceived and gave birth to, the chick that is connected to me by blood, and it is a fact that cannot be erased even if heaven and earth condemn it.
But Ying Shixue acted calm as if nothing had happened, and suddenly told her about the child's recent situation.
Shang Youqing stared at him silently, his eyes growing colder.
As if she still didn't feel humiliated enough, Ying Cixue paused and continued, "However, Shang You didn't—"
Shang Youqing's expression was numb. On the verge of suppressing her own endurance, she interrupted him with a hoarse voice, "Didn't I tell you not to mention children to me?"
Ying Shixue stared at her quietly, and deliberately lifted her chin with the hand she had bitten. "Why didn't you mention it? Didn't you want to give birth to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Youqing slapped him again without saying a word, but was intercepted by Ying Shixue in mid-air.
Her lips and teeth were gritting, and her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty flames. It was obvious without asking how much she hated him. It seemed that if all the constraints were released, she would get rid of everything related to him without hesitation.
Ying Shixue completely restrained her clenched fist, and the look in his eyes that fell on her face was still as cold as an ice field. "So, if I hadn't taken the children away, you would have killed them for the sake of Heaven."
Shang Youqing's breathing stagnated. When he raised his eyes again, he smiled at Ying Shixue for the first time. She looked at him and nodded, "So what?"
"You should wipe away the snow."
Shang Youqing called him by his original name for the first time, and every word seemed to be uttered with tears, "You are the least qualified person in the world to say this. If you had any conscience, they could have lived a happy life even if they were reincarnated into an ordinary family, instead of being born into this world and suffering pain that they shouldn't have to endure!"
"Do you think... you hid them under the pretext of protecting them? Ying Shixue, do you dare to say that you didn't want to use their bloodline to help you fight against the Heavenly Dao?!"
Ying Shixue listened with an indifferent expression. When she spoke again, her voice lacked any warmth or emotion. She simply stated it clearly and steadily, "You're right. With your Phoenix bloodline combined, these two children will indeed be of great use to me."
He said as Longwei completely let go of her.
When Shang Youqing was caught off guard and fell back onto the ice bed from the huge dragon's tail, he didn't even glance at her before withdrawing his gaze. Before he stood up and left, he completely and ruthlessly crushed her tiny hope.
"Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to see them."
When Ying Shixue left the depths of the dragon cave and went down to the entrance of the water outside, the old man Changyi had been waiting for a long time under the dome of the palace corridor with dim water light. Seeing the king finally show up after a few days, he brought people to report some important matters.
In addition to the previous orders issued by the king, the old man Changyi remembered another small matter at the end.
"Oh, my king, after you demoted the demon snake leader to a sea beast, he seemed unwilling to accept his fate and injured several sea spirits in succession—"
In this regard, Ying Shixue Chenleng gave a reply.
"Exiled to the Sea of Evil."
The old man Changyi was stunned. Although Wang's face looked as cold and deep as ever, without any changes, there seemed to be an invisible sense of intimidation in his eyes.
The old man Changyi did not dare to ask more questions. He bowed his head slightly and replied "yes", then retreated with his subordinates.
Instead, one should wipe away the snow and walk down the long corridor, eventually arriving at the barrier at the end of the waters, which is located beneath the ice stone tablet engraved with intricate dragon patterns.
Ying Shixue stood quietly for a moment under the hundreds-meter-high ice monument. Her frosty clothes pushed aside the barrier and she walked calmly across the natural glacier arch bridge above the lava pool where liquid blue flames flowed.
After crossing the bridge, Ying Shuxue stopped at the rock crack on the shore where ice, flames and magma were spewing out.
There were surging blue flames under his feet, but the flames seemed to be afraid of the eternal coldness spreading around him and did not dare to get any closer.
After a long time, a silver-gray dragon with transparent soul light slowly rose from the center of the lava pool, hovering over the continuous icicles in the pool.
The old Dragon King lowered his dragon head, and his cloudy eyes looked at the cold and snowy figure standing in the crevice of the rock.
Finally, his gaze slowly fell on the sleeves of clothes that were floating slightly with the water, with a few traces of blood on them.
The bite marks on his wrist had long since healed, but the bandage on his hanging palm had been torn and casually wrapped around his wrist.
As his sleeves flowed, one could clearly see a deep gash on his hand that spanned the entire length of his palm.
The shape of the gap does not look like that of a wound caused by a sharp weapon, but rather more like... the dragon scales on Ying Shixue's own body.
