Chapter 24 The Demon Lord's Flames Ignite His Clothes
At present, Xia Yuan'er's three souls have been collected by Jing Xuan Yue, and her seven spirits were naturally summoned along with the three souls.
Ling Yuanyuan looked at Jing Xuanyue quietly.
Their eyes met.
The man was about to explain the three souls in his hand when Ling Yuanyuan interrupted, "Actually, I already knew."
Jing Xuan Yue was taken aback: "What?"
Ling Yuanyuan laughed, "Does the Immortal Lord really think I'm oblivious to what's happening around me in the Heavenly Realm? Your story with that Miss Xia..."
Jing Xuanyue frowned.
Fearing that Ling Yuanyuan would try to escape, he stepped forward and grabbed Ling Yuanyuan's arm.
It hurts a woman when you use too much force.
Seeing this, he loosened his grip slightly.
“My child, let me explain,” Jing Xuan Yue said.
Okay, you make it up.
Ling Yuanyuan remained expressionless.
Jing Xuan Yue pondered how to continue the deception. When he lied, his eyes would habitually shift. Even his slender fingers would unconsciously touch his nose.
The man reached out and pressed his hand against the tip of his nose.
He coughed lightly twice, a hint of guilt in his eyes. Only when he felt uncomfortable under Ling Yuanyuan's gaze did he slowly begin to tell the story of him and Xia Yuan'er.
Ling Yuanyuan stared at him with utter despair.
“My child, you can hate me.”
Meeting the woman's gaze, Jing Xuan Yue looked pained.
Ling Yuanyuan looked completely dazed.
She had no reason to hate.
As the plot dictates, she is merely a tool used to advance the story.
Even when Jing Xuan Yue spoke of apologizing, her gaze was directed at her old friend, bypassing Ling Yuan Yuan.
Ling Yuanyuan: "Actually, you want to use me to save Sister Yuan, right?"
Ling Yuanyuan exposed the truth.
Jing Xuan Yue: "!"
Ling Yuanyuan gave a bitter laugh: "Do you think I don't know? But I love you. I'm willing to do anything for you. You'll be happy when Sister Yuan comes back, right?"
Ling Yuanyuan then added, "However, I am delicate and have sensitive skin, just like Sister Yuan. If you were to tear out my broken heart, it might not be easy to awaken Sister Yuan. Perhaps if the tableware were made of pure gold, things would improve..."
Jing Xuanyue was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yuanyuan knew exactly what he was going to do next.
The man froze, his behavior exposed. He looked at Ling Yuanyuan, whose face was now calm and composed.
It's as if they had already accepted the ending.
The thought of hurting someone else's feelings again made Jing Xuan Yue purse her lips.
My heart is filled with even more sorrow.
“Okay, I will fulfill all your requests,” Jing Xuan Yue said.
Ling Yuanyuan: "Since that's the case, before you wake up Sister Yuan, please make all my clothes with gold thread, and also make my bed out of gold."
Jing Xuan Yue: "?"
Ling Yuanyuan wiped away her tears: "Just consider it as fulfilling the wish of a dying person like me."
[Congratulations, host! This gold can be exchanged for five million RMB.]
Yunxiao busied himself with tidying up Ling Yuanyuan's entire house, including all her food, clothing, and daily necessities, adorning it with gold and silver.
He just didn't expect that Miss Ling would die so peacefully, with a slight smile on her lips.
Was her love for the Immortal Lord so profound?
Willing to exchange their own lives for someone else's.
In fact, as Xuan Yue Xianjun's attendant, Yunxiao saw things most clearly.
Miss Ling is devoted to the Immortal Lord. Xia Yuan'er is not bad, but she was born with an extremely unlucky destiny. Even if she were to be reborn, the Heavenly Empress would still vehemently oppose it.
For the Immortal Lord, a simple and ordinary relationship with Miss Ling would be better.
Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.
Yunxiao sighed, shook his head, and left.
Ling Yuanyuan rolled around on the golden bed twice, seeing that the system had already exchanged these treasures for money to help her return to the real world.
She jumped out of bed excitedly; she had planned this all along.
Thinking about it, Ling Yuanyuan went to find Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing.
She borrowed a dummy that looked exactly like her from Dugu Hanbing.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue has just gone to search for the Five Elements Divine Artifacts. He intends to do all sorts of evil deeds before Jing Xuan Yue finds the artifacts.
If her extremely auspicious fate is changed, then she won't need to be ga.
Ling Yuanyuan put the dummy on the bed and made it impersonate her.
Then.
Ling Yuanyuan shouldered her baggage and left the Immortal Realm.
"System, aren't I a bird demon? How do I revert to my original form?"
Ling Yuanyuan peeked outside and saw quite a few guards outside Xuan Yue's bedchamber. They must have been sent by Jing Xuan Yue to monitor her.
In the small courtyard behind the Xuan Yue Palace, there is a pool of celestial water.
Upon hearing the system's words, Ling Yuanyuan promptly slipped away.
As soon as it jumped into the fairy water, its whole body emitted a white light.
Immediately afterward, Ling Yuanyuan, who had just been a gentle and elegant woman, was soaking wet in the fairy water.
Ling Yuanyuan had thought she would be a beautiful little bird, until she felt a heavy weight on her body.
She was a little confused.
Moreover, no matter how I look at it, I resemble a giant monster.
Ling Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly looked down into the immortal water.
Until her reflection appeared in the water.
Ling Yuanyuan was completely bewildered.
Her prototype is a shoebill stork, a whale-headed stork! It has a very big head and a very big mouth, and it looks silly.
Ugly tyrant among birds.
Ling Yuanyuan: "..."
Ling Yuanyuan's vision went black, and she fell into the water with a "plop".
After about half a day, Ling Yuanyuan finally mustered her strength. She flapped her wings and flew out of Xuan Yue's sleeping quarters.
The guards watching over the bedchamber looked up in confusion.
When did the immortal lord raise such an ugly bird?
I don't know how long we flew.
Ling Yuanyuan was almost dizzy from flying, but finally arrived at the entrance to the demon realm. Ling Yuanyuan barely mustered her strength and was about to fly in.
The bird was caught in a hunting net filled with sleeping gas.
Ling Yuanyuan's head was throbbing with pain, and she clutched her head, yelling, "Gah—!"
*
When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black all around.
Feeling ice-cold all over, Ling Yuanyuan jumped up in surprise. Seeing that she was still a shoebill stork, she calmed down.
She turned her head and glimpsed that all the demons like her had been captured and put into prison carts.
The bull demon carrying them did not head towards the demon realm.
What's going on?
Ling Yuanyuan barely managed to stand up and wanted to ask the crow beside her.
It just made a "ga" sound.
He was then severely lashed with a whip by the horse demon outside the prison cart.
Startled, Ling Yuanyuan quickly covered her head with her wings.
"What are you yelling about? You'll be in trouble when we get to the Demon Lord." The horse demon cursed and ordered the bull demon to continue forward.
Ling Yuanyuan: "?"
Demon Lord?
[He is the next male lead. The host can choose to exchange five million for information about the Demon Lord.]
You damned capitalist.
She had just earned the money, and she was already thinking of taking it back.
Ling Yuanyuan turned her head and recalled the events herself.
Ling Yuanyuan doesn't actually read novels very carefully; she prefers to skim through them.
Until the prison cart had completely entered the Demon Realm.
She barely remembered.
The Demon Lord Ruo Su Chen was ruthless by nature. It is said that when he was only ten thousand years old, he tore apart ancient demons and cleaved ancient monsters in two. With his astonishing and outstanding abilities, he conquered all his fellow demons in the demon realm.
Even demons dared not act presumptuously in front of the Demon Lord.
Like Jing Xuan Yue, he also has a white moonlight etched in his heart.
Unlike Jing Xuan Yue's hypocrisy, Ruo Su Chen directly destroyed his beloved. Ruo Su Chen was stubborn and obstinate, and had never trusted anyone.
And his white moonlight was none other than Mo Lingling, the little sparrow chosen by the demon realm to serve him.
The little sparrow had never seen a demon before.
I was scared half to death in just one day.
This was the first time Ruo Suchen had ever seen a little demon so afraid of him, and he found it interesting.
So he kept her locked in the dungeon every day for amusement and enjoyment.
Mo Lingling suffered terribly in prison and eventually died from internal strife.
The death of Little Sparrow caused Ruo Su Chen to practically destroy the entire palace. He even went to the Ghost Realm to retrieve Mo Lingling's soul, only to find that Mo Lingling had jumped into the Ghost Water.
I'd rather never be able to come back to life than ever see him again.
Upon discovering that Ling Yuanyuan and Bai Yueguang shared similar personalities, Ruo Suchen once again extended his evil clutches towards the original owner.
Ling Yuanyuan: "%#$@..."
The male protagonist is obsessive and abuses others without realizing it.
That's ridiculous.
Ling Yuanyuan looked at the demons in the prison cart.
They must be the new batch chosen to serve the Demon Lord.
Since Ruo Su Chen is so despicable, then she'll change her fate right here. Ling Yuanyuan's idea quickly swirled in her mind.
Thinking about it this way makes me feel much more at ease.
Ling Yuanyuan decided to make herself more comfortable and sat down with a thud.
The large mouth was propped up in the gap of the prison vehicle floor.
The bird demons beside them exchanged glances.
After a long while, he lamented Ling Yuanyuan in a language only birds could understand.
"Holy crap, you're so ugly, you're definitely not going to get chosen. I wish I were as ugly as you, ahhhhhh."
"Yeah, you're so ugly."
"I've heard that the Demon Lord is a bloodthirsty killer, and the lives of lowly demons like us are nothing but fleeting clouds in his eyes."
Ling Yuanyuan: "..."
What kind of gibberish are you speaking?
She didn't know if they were cursing her or envying her. Ling Yuanyuan just wanted to strangle the bird next to her with her mouth, as it kept chirping incessantly.
Hearing the sounds from inside the prison cart, the horse demon cracked his whip again.
The prison cart was parked outside the Demon Temple.
Ling Yuanyuan and the other little birds were pushed into the main hall by the horse demon.
A little oriole lost its footing and tripped. The next second, its figure turned into bubbles.
All the bird demons were so frightened that they formed pairs and huddled together.
He kept his head down, unable to move.
Ling Yuanyuan followed their gaze and looked at the figure in the seat.
The man in the distance was dressed in a black robe.
Perhaps it was because the Demon Realm was somewhat dark. Ling Yuanyuan couldn't see his face clearly, but she could feel the innate sense of suppression emanating from him.
As Ruo Suchen stood up, Ling Yuanyuan's gaze shifted from curiosity to surprise.
The man's skin was as white as porcelain, even whiter than the snow in February. Unlike Jing Xuan Yue's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, Ruo Su Chen's eyes and brows were far more alluring.
The moment he looked up, it was as if the world had ceased to exist.
Gently wiping his fingertips, the bird droppings that had just been burned to ashes fell to the ground: "How noisy."
Ruo Suchen spoke casually.
Looking down from above.
"Demon Lord, these are the bird demons that were just sent here to serve you this year."
"By the way, this one is the noisiest."
Upon hearing the Demon Lord's words, Ma Yao's heart leaped into his throat. He quickly pointed to Ling Yuanyuan, who immediately let out a few "caw caws" upon opening her mouth.
Ling Yuanyuan: "?"
Tie Q.
Sure enough, Ling Yuanyuan's wings caught fire the next second.
Ling Yuanyuan fluttered up and flew away, startling her so much that she landed on Ruo Sucheng's shoulder. Ruo Sucheng was taken aback, not expecting that this incredibly ugly bird would dare to approach him.
The flames instantly ignited Ling Yuanyuan and Ruo Suchen's clothes, and a burnt smell spread.
Ruo Suchen's initial displeasure suddenly turned into mockery.
He smiled, letting the fire burn him. He grabbed the bird's claw and pressed it against the flames. The man seemed oblivious to the burning pain.
Ling Yuanyuan thought she was going to die.
But soon, the fire was extinguished.
Ruo Suchen tilted his head.
His eyes were full of amusement: "A bird demon, yet it has immortal water protecting its body."
