Chapter 356
"How can such stuff be put in there?"
"What kind of crap is this? How can it be worthy of my Ah Hui! ...
“That won’t work.”
"How can such stuff be put in there?"
"What the hell is this? It's not worthy of my Ah Hui!"
The corners of Fei Yu's mouth kept twitching as she watched Her Majesty criticize the gifts she had carefully selected one by one in a horrible way.
If you don't know, you might think that what she prepared was just some rubbish...
But who can understand her suffering?
Your Majesty! Please open your eyes and take a look. That thing you just called junk is actually Flowing Cloud Star Sand, a rare find only once in a thousand years! It's priceless, and countless people covet it but can't even get it!
Don't you feel guilty about calling it a piece of junk?
Liuyun Xingsha is crying!
Fei Yu was complaining madly in her heart, but her face was very calm, as if the treasures that Lin Qingqiu despised were not selected by her with great difficulty.
However, she also raised the status of the future Madam of the Lord in her heart. Judging from the attitude of the Lord, the lady could not afford to offend him.
I'll find a chance to tell those idiots the truth, so that they won't offend Madam and get killed by His Majesty in the future.
Although there has never been much love between demon cultivators, if they all died, wouldn't that just increase her workload in disguise?
That won't work.
"Replace them all!" Lin Qingqiu negated Fei Yu's work results with just one sentence.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fei Yu was not angry. After all, she was not knocked away by a palm, which meant that Your Majesty was in a good mood now. People should be content with what they have.
"Go to my private treasury and choose from them. Send these... over as well."
Fei Yu was secretly surprised. His Majesty was being a bit too generous to this lady. However, she didn't dare to refute His Majesty's opinion. She honestly went to His Majesty's private vault and selected a batch of more valuable treasures.
After preparing the betrothal gifts, Lin Qingqiu calculated the time for Cheng Hui's return and decorated the entire Demon Palace... with joy.
The demon cultivators living near the Demon Palace have been stunned by the changes in the palace recently.
Originally, upon hearing that the Demon Lord had come out of retreat, the other demon cultivators were very happy. As the saying goes, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Although the Blood Demon Lord usually does not take charge of affairs, as long as he exists, the righteous will not dare to act too recklessly.
But who would have thought that when the Demon Lord came out of seclusion this time, he suddenly said that he wanted to get married. That would have been fine, but he even changed the originally majestic Demon Palace into a festive red.
The demon cultivators looked at the red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the Demon Palace and the red ornaments decorated everywhere from afar, and they felt like their eyes were blinded.
Demon Lord, what's wrong with you?
Are you okay, Demon Lord?
Aren't we demon cultivators supposed to snatch back the person we like? You look so happy... I really think you're a bride getting married!
Demonic cultivators: ...
I have something in my heart but I dare not say it...￢_￢
So far, the Demon Lord has only revealed that he is getting married, but the person he is marrying has never been revealed. No one knows which young lady is so lucky to be favored by the Demon Lord.
Some people were secretly trying to find out who the Demon Lord's future wife would be, some hoping to curry favor with him, others harboring ill intentions. Some even felt that if the Demon Lord could fall in love with one person, he could definitely fall in love with another, and they were already starting to look for any stunningly beautiful women among their relatives who could be used to secure a future with him.
Unfortunately, no matter how these people inquired, no information was revealed.
In fact, many of Lin Qingqiu's subordinates were also very curious, but since the Lord did not reveal it, they did not dare to ask. Although Fei Yu guessed that the future Demon Lord's wife might be a man, she did not tell others and kept this secret secretly, waiting for the day of the wedding to surprise everyone.
* * *
While Lin Qingqiu was actively preparing for her wedding... no, preparing for the dual cultivation ceremony, Cheng Hui also returned to the Xuanheng Realm from the endless void.
Breaking out of the Congsong Small World requires a spatial rift, but getting in is not that troublesome. Especially since Cheng Hui himself has the mark of this world, he can find any place to drill through the ground membrane and get in.
At the Fountain of Eternal Life, Lin Qingyang's death left Cheng Hui heartbroken. He was just about to die with Lin Qingyang.
It was also thanks to his brain that refused to accept this information at that time. When he reacted, Changling raised some doubts, and with the affirmation of the boss, his condition was stabilized.
When he regained his sanity, he also noticed many things that were not right. Apart from anything else, although the Fountain of Immortality was rare, the world of cultivation was so vast and the number of cultivators was also large, so there were quite a few people who had drunk the Fountain of Immortality. If there really was a problem, it would have been discovered long ago.
Therefore, Lin Qingyang’s death may not have been caused by the Fountain of Eternal Life.
So the question is, why did he die after drinking the Fountain of Eternal Life? And why did his body decay at such an incredible speed?
After much thought, Cheng Hui could only conclude that there might be something wrong with Lin Qingyang's body.
If we guess from this direction, then the answer is very certain.
Obviously, Lin Qingyang used some secret method to take over the child's body.
The function of the Fountain of Eternal Life is to reconcile the soul and body. Logically, even if the body is taken over by another body, there will be no problems. This has been verified. But the question is... what if his original body is still alive? Or in other words, his original body is still well preserved. In this case, the most suitable body for Lin Qingyang is obviously his original body.
What could be better than the original?
The Eternal Life Fountain has miraculous effects and often allows for spatial transformation, meaning distance isn't a problem. So if Lin Qingyang's current body died, he most likely resurrected in his original body.
These analyses were made by the boss and Chang Ling, as well as Cheng Hui's own thinking. In short, Lin Qingyang should still be alive and well.
Although Lin Qingyang never said it directly, Cheng Hui could draw the conclusion from the words between the lines that Lin Qingyang's original body was most likely a big figure in the Xuanheng Realm, and even reached the level of a spirit transformation.
A big shot, a demon cultivator at the level of a spirit being transformed into a god, very handsome, he has not been seen in recent times.
Combining so many clues together, it is easy to conclude that Lin Qingyang is the Blood Demon Lord Lin Qingqiu.
Cheng Hui: ...
Speaking of Blood Demon Lord Lin Qingqiu, there are countless legends about him in the Xuanheng Realm. Among them, there is naturally the story of how he tragically lost his beloved, became disheartened and secluded himself in seclusion.
At that time, Cheng Hui just listened to it as gossip, but now he realized that it was actually related to him.
It’s just that the Blood Demon Lord’s beloved in the legend was a woman, so Cheng Hui didn’t involve himself in this matter.
Now, he has returned to the Corpse Puppet Sect and has stayed indoors since he came back.
Their master Wuyouzi returned from the small world, his cultivation had reached a higher level, and he was in seclusion, so they hadn't seen him yet.
It was also thanks to Wuyouzi that he was temporarily busy, otherwise Cheng Hui really didn't know how to explain it.
What did you say? Your beloved disciple is gone? I'm the only one left to refine a corpse?
Or maybe tell him that the young disciple you thought was actually an old devil, none other than the notorious Blood Demon Lord of the Xuanheng Realm?
I always feel that no matter which of these two pieces of news, it is enough to make Wuyouzi drink a pot of wine.
For the sake of his master's personal safety, Cheng Hui could only temporarily become a turtle.
Although escaping is shameful, it really works.
However……
No matter how much he tries to escape, he still has to face reality.
Wuyouzi doesn't need him to deal with it for the time being, but those senior brothers and sisters from the Thirteen Peaks are not easy to deal with either.
Especially the eldest brother Zhang Yifan. After he came back from the mining area, he has been thinking about his younger brother. The incident happened when Lin Qingyang was with him, and he has always felt guilty. Even though it was later proved that he really had no problems, Zhang Yifan still missed him very much.
Now, the junior brother's refined corpse has returned, but the junior brother is missing. This inevitably makes Zhang Yifan think too much.
In the past, there were disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect who insisted on using the corpses of their enemies as corpses for refining.
And their end is often not very good.
It would be fine if the corpse refining skill was low, but once the skill was improved and the memories of the past were recovered, it would not be surprising if the corpse turned against the master on the spot.
Zhang Yifan still vividly remembered the scene when his junior brother appeared in the Corpse Puppet Sect with his 'fiancé', so he once suspected that Cheng Hui had recovered his memory of the events with Huo and killed his junior brother.
In response to Zhang Yifan's questioning, Cheng Hui expressed his admiration for his imagination. He was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Zhang Yifan, a Golden Core cultivator, dared to question him for the sake of his junior brother. He had to accept this favor.
"Brother...I'm serious. Qingyang just can't come back for the time being. He will show up soon after he finishes the things he has on hand."
"Really?" Zhang Yifan looked suspicious. It was unheard of for a Corpse Puppet Sect cultivator to separate from his corpse refiner. No wonder he was suspicious of Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui also understood Zhang Yifan's thoughts. After all, when he was in the Corpse Puppet Sect, he'd often read miscellaneous essays and anecdotes when he had nothing better to do, and naturally, there were many records about the Corpse Puppet Sect. While cultivators killed by corpse refiners were rare, they were not uncommon. It was normal for Zhang Yifan to have such concerns.
Cheng Hui racked his brains and finally managed to trick Zhang Yifan away temporarily. However, he knew in his heart that this kind of thing would not last long. If Lin Qingyang did not show up again and Wuyouzi came out of seclusion, he would be in big trouble.
Zhang Yifan is now half-believing and half-doubting. One of the reasons is that his cultivation is not high enough and he cannot beat him. However, Wuyouzi is a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator. If he cannot give a satisfactory answer, then the matter will be difficult to handle.
The most important thing is that he doesn’t know what the situation is with Lin Qingyang.
The Blood Demon Lord was indeed famous, but that was a hundred years ago. Who knows whether his subordinates were still loyal to him after he returned.
The position of Demon Lord among the demon cultivators can only be fought for through bloody battles. If Lin Qingyang were to do so, his subordinates might be the first to rebel, and then he would be in danger.
Cheng Hui had just returned not long ago, and no news had come from the Demonic Path. He was anxious and always worried that Lin Qingyang would encounter some danger.
If he had no connections among the demon cultivators and it was not convenient for him to go and inquire, what he wanted to do most was to rush to the Demon Palace and take a look, and preferably bring the person back directly.
pity……
The Demon Palace was located deep within the Demonic Path's controlled territory, surrounded by layers of defense, making it extremely difficult for him to sneak in. If he were to be accidentally exposed, and a Nascent Soul cultivator like him sneaked into the Demon Palace, it would definitely implicate the Corpse Puppet Sect, something he didn't want to see.
Various methods, various frustrations.
Cheng Hui was distressed to find that he could only sit and wait.
As the days passed, Cheng Hui's patience became less and less. When he finally couldn't bear it anymore and made up his mind to go to the Demon Palace to take a look, Zhang Yifan brought him a piece of news that stunned him.
"What did you say?" Cheng Hui opened his mouth wide.
"You heard it right. The Blood Demon Lord Lin Qingqiu from the Demon Palace has come to our Corpse Puppet Sect to propose marriage and take you home." Zhang Yifan had a strange expression on his face, and the look he gave Cheng Hui was full of scrutiny and suspicion. He didn't know what was going on in his mind.
Cheng Hui didn't care what Zhang Yifan was thinking. He just wanted to know if this Blood Demon Lord who came to propose marriage was his lover, Lin Qingyang?
