Chapter 106: Child, is something wrong?
Shang Youqing's wrist, which was being held, stiffened slightly. He looked over with a cold and moist look in his eyes and suddenly became clear-headed.
A faint frosty aura still lingered around the dragon's tail.
She tried to pull her hand back without a word, but Ying Shixue once again held it in her arms. "You must be very disappointed. You accomplished the killing in your dream, but when you woke up, you were still controlled by me."
Shang Youqing stared at his face, then glanced at the back of his hand where the wound had long since disappeared for a moment, and his beautiful lips, as pale as peach, showed a hint of irony.
"Is this interesting to you?"
Ying Shixue rubbed her wrist bone with her thumb for a long time. Her face was calm and she didn't say anything. She just looked at her calmly and heard Shang Youqing continue.
"If you're afraid that I'll find a way to kill you, why don't you kill me?"
Ying Shixue's face was cold and focused. "I will never kill you."
Shang Youqing stared at him without blinking, and his suspicions became more certain. "So, what else do you want to do with my phoenix blood?"
Ying Shixue gently pulled down the cuff of her soft silk dress above her wrist. Her cold, snowy eyes unexpectedly showed a rare hint of a smile. "Guess."
Shang Youqing narrowed his eyes coldly, and the words to curse him were already on the tip of his tongue, but at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the evil pool.
Shang Youqing only then realized that he was still being entangled extremely badly by the dragon's tail.
She could feel that the dragon's tail that was holding her was not exerting as much force as before. Shang Youqing was unable to move the huge dragon's tail, so she shook off the tip of the tail that was coiled around her ankle, tensed her body and squeezed out of the gap.
Finally, before the servants came in, he moved his ankles, which he could barely move, and retreated to the other end of the ice bed.
Ying Shixue silently watched the series of emergency measures taken by the little phoenix to avoid him like a serpent. When the attendant whispered "King", he finally turned his eyes away and asked, "What is it?"
The servant stood outside the evil water pool with a panicked look on his face. He glanced at the phoenix on the other side of the ice bed and did not dare to speak clearly in front of the phoenix. He could only speak cautiously and vaguely.
"It's an urgent matter concerning the little prince and the little princess..."
Ying Shixue said "I understand" without any change of expression and asked the attendant to leave first.
He picked up Shang Youqingjuan, who had finally escaped from his arms, and fed her calmly.
Shang Youqing was surprisingly cooperative this time. She ate very quickly, frowning as if she wanted to see something from Ying Shixue's eyes, but the evil dragon was as cold and calm as ever.
After she had eaten her fill, Ying Shixue finally put her back on the ice bed, put ice chains on both of her ankles, and stood up and left.
Shang Youqing couldn't help but grab a piece of his sleeve. Ying Cixue turned around and glanced at her lightly, waiting for her to speak.
Shang Youqing pursed his lips for a long moment, then uttered coldly, "Where are you going?"
Ying Shixue: "Just wanted to ask this?"
Shang Youqing met his eyes that were trying to see through him, paused, and suddenly withdrew his hand very quickly, "Get lost."
Even after Ying Shixue left, Shang Youqing's mind was still lingering with the attendant's words, "urgent matters concerning the young prince and princess."
She looked indifferent, but she couldn't help thinking about the two children.
While thinking, he repeatedly rubbed the dragon scale in his palm.
As I was thinking, the two deafening words from Heaven shattered all the worries that should not have accumulated.
This went on for an unknown amount of time. Finally, when the servant came to guard her again, he suddenly asked her, "Did something happen to those two children?"
The attendant retreated outside the pool of evil and answered cautiously: "I don't—"
Shang Youqing said calmly, "I can't escape, so what's the point of you trying to hide it here?"
After a while, the attendant said hesitantly, "The little prince and the little princess escaped from the water barrier that the king had confined."
Shang Youqing stared at her motionlessly.
The two hands under the sleeves couldn't stop feeling numb.
At that moment, her heart seemed to be completely strangled by an invisible giant hand, and she could not move.
She couldn't convince herself that she should be happy.
Those two children are of certain use to Ying Shixue. At least before he becomes a god and fights against the Heavenly Dao, Ying Shixue will not take the children's lives.
But once the two children escape from Ying Shixue's control, they will only fall into the pursuit of Jiutian more quickly.
The clear ban of nine days could not possibly accommodate those two children.
In other words, if the child really escapes, the probability of being strangled is almost 100%...
"But the king has already..."
The attendant was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt the king's eternal coldness appear behind him almost instantly. His face turned pale and he fell to his knees. His voice became even weaker, "King..."
Not to mention the attendants, Shang Youqing didn't expect Ying Shixue to come back so soon this time. It was less than a few hours since he left.
Ying Shixue asked the attendant to leave, walked to the edge of the bed, and lifted Shang Youqing's ankles with her hands. Her eyes were as cold as ice as she passed by. "If you want to know something, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask me directly?"
There was no response from Shang Youqing, but Ying Shixue was not in a hurry. She untied the ice chain for her and told her, "The child has been found."
The words fell.
Shang Youqing's strangled heart seemed to suddenly resume its slow beat. She finally raised her stiff face and moved her lips, "Really?"
Then she lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions surging in her eyes, and mechanically said in a hoarse voice, "That's such a pity."
"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
The two ice chains collided and fell under the bed with a bang. Shang Youqing immediately dragged his toes away from his palm.
It was also at this moment that a muffled and distant sound suddenly came from my ears.
Immediately afterwards, the entire dragon cave shook violently, the glacial rock layer above suddenly collapsed, and hideous cracks expanded rapidly along the fracture. The roar of a divine beast penetrated the seabed and reached the depths of the dragon cave.
Shang Youqing suddenly looked towards the glacier fracture—
It’s Cheng Huang’s voice!
A trace of doubt flashed through Shang Youqing's mind.
How did Cheng Huang know that she was imprisoned here?
But at this extremely critical juncture, this doubt only flashed through Shang Youqing's mind, and she had no time to think about it anymore.
Seeing Ying Shixue's dragon tail sweeping towards her again, Shang Youqing moved back sharply.
Seizing the opportunity, he raised his hand without thinking, and used the gathered Phoenix Fire to grasp the piece of dragon scale that contained a cold breath and directly pressed it against his heart meridian. He then threatened Ying Shixue Han:
"Let me go."
She knew that she was no match for Ying Shixue at the moment, and that it was impossible to repel him, but—
Since Ying Shixue needs her phoenix blood as an ancient god, he will not let her destroy herself.
After all, in Ying Shixue's view, the priest has only raised her, a divine phoenix, for many years.
If she died, it might ruin Ying Shixue's original plan.
