Chapter 54 Give me Momo.
·
In a secret warehouse surrounded by white.
Because his spiritual consciousness was unsealed, Shang Youqing's appearance transformed back into the perfect bone structure worthy of a god, along with the outline of a radiant and fiery phoenix.
The facial features of that face were too beautiful and clear, like jade porcelain embedded in the snow, cold and sharp, yet truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Shang Youqing had no expression from beginning to end. She just stared calmly at the faint light flickering on her fingertips. After the spiritual memory completely returned to her brain, she slowly adjusted her breath once or twice and retracted her fingertips.
Without even glancing at the person beside him, he turned and walked out of the secret chamber.
But the next second after she took a step, the heavy door of the secret chamber slammed shut.
Immediately afterwards, the entire secret warehouse suddenly descended as if it had broken free from its confinement.
Almost in an instant, the muffled sound similar to that of a metal buckle locking the secret chamber ended, and the secret chamber fell into silence again.
Shang Youqing paused with her slender legs, remained silent for a second or two, then raised her eyebrows calmly and indifferently and looked at Mu Weiting beside her.
"It seems that Senior Brother has made two preparations."
Mu Weiting looked at her calmly and asked, "You want to devour the killing barrier again for the sake of that human father and son, right?"
"After devouring the killing barrier, the Phoenix's survival instinct will drive it to commit suicide and burn its heart meridians, so that it can achieve Nirvana."
"You Qing, do you remember now how you dragged your blood-soaked feather back to Wutong Mountain? Even that pain wasn't enough to scare you, yet you still resolutely went to find that human father and son, right?"
Shang Youqing simply said, "Open the door."
Mu Weiting was equally resolute, "I will never let you endure the pain of being burned by flames and having your skin peeled off and your bones bruised again."
"You're a phoenix yourself, and you know firsthand that it's uncertain when a phoenix will awaken again after its rebirth. Last time, you endured months of seclusion and finally returned from Nirvana. What if you're not so lucky this time? You might not be able to awaken for months, years, or even hundreds or thousands of years. Isn't your priest still sleeping beneath Mount Kunlun, never to wake up?"
"—Senior Brother." Shang Youqing suddenly interrupted him, "You don't have to make it sound so serious. Last time, it was because my spiritual roots had just been restored to my phoenix form, so I couldn't fully control the killing barrier. But it's different now, and it's far from being serious enough to cause me to fall into self-immolation and nirvana again."
Mu Weiting lost his composure, and his voice began to rise and fall. "I don't see any difference. Shang Youqing, do you think that as long as it doesn't reach the point of self-immolation and nirvana, it's not serious? That's a killing barrier!"
After another moment of silence, Shang Youqing stared at him coldly and spoke again, "So you want me to watch my young offspring die without saving them? Do you want me to watch helplessly as my young offspring are tortured to death by the killing barrier?"
Mu Weiting's hands trembled as he tried to comfort her, "You still have Youyou. Didn't Youyou safely get through her first tail molting? When this is over, I'll take you and Youyou back to Wutong Mountain and never—"
Before he could finish his words, the Phoenix Fire that was originally bound to his arms suddenly slammed his entire body against the heavy door of the secret warehouse.
"I have no intention of becoming an enemy of my brother, but the prerequisite is that you don't harm the life of my young. Brother, you still underestimate my determination!"
"You Qing!"
Mu Weiting narrowed his eyes suddenly. He had quickly reacted to what Shang Youqing was going to do, but he was still a step too slow. He saw Shang Youqing transform the Phoenix Fire into a fire blade with his bare hands and cut his palm, turning it into a blood mark covering the heavy door of the secret warehouse that he had originally blocked.
The moment the secret door was unlocked by the blood seal, Mu Weiting urgently stretched out his bloody hand and tried to grab Shang Youqing, but almost at that moment, Shang Youqing disappeared from the Phoenix Fire Array that had just been set up at some point. Instead, Mu Weiting's limbs were severely injured. He leaned against the wall, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number with trembling hands.
"You Qing's spiritual consciousness... has been unsealed."
Mu Weiting gasped slightly in pain and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.
Mu Jiuhan on the other end of the phone paused and smiled: "From your tone, did Junior Sister finally choose that human He Cong?"
Mu Weiting closed his eyes, and a rare hint of hostility appeared on his stern face.
"Stop talking nonsense. I know how to untie the red rope around Shang You's neck. If you still want to cooperate, just do as I say."
…
Yanyuan.
At dawn, Shang Youqing rushed back to Yanyuan again.
This time she didn't let Butler Chen lead the way, and she arrived at the center of the lake by herself, following the familiar route.
Butler Chen and the other servants were all stunned and stood there, unable to believe what they saw...
Shang Youqing was clearly still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but... his face had turned into that of Mrs. He, who had clearly passed away three years ago!
Shang Youqing had no time to care about these things. She went upstairs and opened the door of the small room.
He Cong was leaning over to change the clothes of the little boy in his arms, who was red with fever. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and stared at Shang Youqing at the door.
She has fair skin, long hair, thin eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin, cool lips.
The facial features were exactly the same as in my memory, with the same extremely beautiful features.
She was his wife whom he had thought about day and night for three whole years.
He Cong's arms, holding the child tightly, stared at her with his dark and cold eyes, and his breathing seemed to freeze.
Shang Youqing walked up to him and raised his hand to take He Zhimo from his arms, but he found that his arms were still holding the little boy motionlessly. He frowned and said, "Let go, give Momo to me."
He Cong slowly blinked his thick black eyelashes, finally coming back to his senses and loosening his grip a little. Before he could react, the little cub in his arms was carried away by Shang Youqing.
He Cong pursed his thin lips forcefully to suppress his barely perceptible trembling breath. His eyes grew darker and darker, and he followed Shang Youqing to the bedside without saying a word.
Shang Youqing had just carried the burning little cub back to the bed when he suddenly realized something. His expression relaxed and he turned his head slightly to glance at the man standing behind him.
"He Cong, please go out first. Come back in half an hour."
He Cong didn't move. From the moment she entered the door until now, he didn't even take his eyes off her.
"He Cong."
Shang Youqing raised his eyes and met his gaze, and the tone of his voice when he repeated his name became noticeably heavier.
Finally, He Cong had to look away and walked out with a sullen face.
After the door was closed, Shang Youqing finally took a deep breath and gently placed his palm on the heart of He Zhimo who was lying on the small bed.
The pain he experienced after swallowing the killing barrier three years ago was still vivid in his mind, but it was nothing compared to the torture of watching his young chick suffer the pain of tempering.
Therefore, Shang Youqing did not hesitate at all. He transformed his heart consciousness into a thread of blood, which flowed into the cub's heart like warm water wrapped around his fingers. He gently peeled off the killing barrier that was tightly bound around the cub's heart, and then swallowed it all back into his own heart through the thread of blood.
The whole process was extremely gentle. Shang Youqing also gently patted the cub's head with healing spiritual energy, and did not let her cub feel any pain from beginning to end.
Only after the killing barrier was completely devoured into his heart did Shang Youqing pick up the cub again.
With the help of the healing spiritual breath, He Zhimo's body temperature slowly dropped to the normal body temperature of a young phoenix.
