Chapter 173 Chapter 173 "Murderous Intention, Lust."...
Lan Qi's words successfully tore off the young man's elegant mask.
He clenched his hands into fists hidden in his sleeves, and his beautiful features suddenly became extremely ferocious.
"Curfew has arrived. I will take my leave."
He didn't even perform the first greeting, and managed to squeak out a few words. Without waiting for Lan Qi's approval, he turned around with a flick of his sleeves and walked away step by step.
Lan Qi, who was standing there and staring at his back, had no joy of a winner on his face.
The umbrella that protected him from the wind and snow fell diagonally and landed upside down on the ground. Snowflakes fluttered down and landed on his black hair and eyelashes.
The pure white replaced the high-spirited black, as if it had gone through a thousand years of vicissitudes.
…
It was all a lie that he said he was not busy today and had time to go out with Jiu Zhao.
Weddings, wars, armaments, and the suppression of opposition.
Things come one after another, and behind the short trip, one has to pay the price of handling government affairs all night.
There were only a few candles in the hall. Lan Qi held the red brush in one hand, but the tip of the brush could not be put down.
He thought about the snow fox that bit Jiuzhao, the bright red blood dripping from Jiuzhao's fingertips, and Zhu Yan's sarcastic words.
I feel distracted and have difficulty concentrating.
There was an indescribable pain in his heart, a pain that was completely different from anything he had experienced before.
It was like the earth's crust, frozen by frost, cracking and rumbling, and a hot spring of emotions continued to gush out.
For the ice surface, the hot springs are like venom, corroding, invading, and occupying - declaring Gao Zhu's defenses to be unilaterally defeated.
When he regained consciousness, Lan Qi found himself in Lianli Hall.
Jiu Zhao's immortal power is incomplete, and in some aspects he is no different from an ordinary person.
You will feel hungry and tired, and naturally you will feel sleepy and fall asleep.
The gauze curtain was half-closed, and the quilt was wrapped around a little face that was soundly dreaming.
Her hand unruly reached out from the edge and tightly grasped the corner embroidered with hibiscus flowers, as if doing so could bring her infinite sense of security.
There was a lotus lantern lit on each side of the bed.
Although the light was not very strong, it dispelled the long darkness.
This action was different from his memory.
In the past, Jiu Zhao was very sensitive to light and had to have a completely dark room to fall asleep.
If a little light hits her eyelids, she will toss and turn in restless state.
Faced with such contradictory changes, Lan Qi could only blame it on her experience in the Sunless Abyss.
There is no light in Wu Ri Yuan all year round. Only when the guarding immortal officials come down to inspect will the mermaid oil lamps embedded in the wall light up automatically.
Unlimited silence can drive people who like to be alone crazy.
Endless darkness can also make those who enjoy darkness afraid from then on.
Lan Qi stood by the bed, watching silently.
The heartache that continued to flow deepened.
He knew clearly that his feelings for Jiu Zhao were not as indifferent as he said.
Jiu Zhao occupied all of his youth, turning him from a boy filled with hatred into a young man filled with love and hate.
Ke Lanqi also understood that no matter how much you like someone, you must leave room for them and not lose yourself.
The inherent characteristic of the demons is a constant warning to keep people awake.
His love was too strong, his strength was no longer enough, and he had to risk his life to fulfill his promise of a life together - he couldn't let this happen.
He could never hand the knife that would kill him to Jiu Zhao's palm.
No matter how sincerely Jiu Zhao said "let go of the past and start over", in this world, he would only trust himself.
Lan Qi rarely wavered or hesitated in his life.
After all, if he had not been decisive, he would have failed the moment he chose to betray Jiu Zhao and fell into the Sea of Burning Karma.
Over the years, longing has filled my mind day and night.
The reunion with old friends in Sanqingtian made Lan Qi gradually begin to see his own heart clearly.
He couldn't bear Jiu Zhao looking at another man with the same excited look she once had for him.
He couldn't stand it, she smiled at them.
What he couldn't bear even more was that one day she would really have to put on her wedding dress and welcome her new husband.
So, after fighting with the immortals for three thousand years, and after confirming that Jiu Zhao was still alive and had not been destroyed by the thunder, he rejected the suggestions made by the generals, and pulled out the most elite troops from the troops that were supposed to be gathered to capture the West Sea in one go, and ordered them to capture Wu Ri Abyss and bring her out safely.
Keeping people by your side and restraining them in your palms, you think that you can completely satisfy your insatiable desires.
But Zhu Yan, who was always eager to make a move and refused to give up, made him feel like he had a lump in his throat.
Sure enough, killing her and integrating her into her bones and blood, so that the two become one from now on, is the best outcome?
In the silence, murderous intent mixed with infatuation reappeared in Lan Qi's eyes.
Driven by this impulse, he somehow stretched out his right hand towards Jiu Zhao.
The strong evil spirit attached to the skin. As long as the neck was strangled, the bones would be broken in an instant, causing Jiu Zhao to die without pain.
The desire for love is too strong.
People will regard the appetite and the desire to kill as one and the same.
Lan Qi simulated the killing process in his mind, from the crisp sound of the snap to the groaning at the moment of death.
The fingertips gently caress the smooth neck.
Occasionally touching the unhealed burn marks gives you another kind of tingling sensation.
Compared to the pure-hearted immortals, demons always find it difficult to control their emotions.
Having endured humiliation and dormancy in Sanqingtian for thousands of years, Lan Qi has always possessed extremely rare calmness and restraint.
But at this moment, his body was faithfully conveying crazy excitement.
Jiu Zhao, who was in a beautiful dream, had no idea of all this.
Just as he was about to strangle her with his tiger's mouth, she murmured softly, "Don't be angry... the bite is okay..."
“…”
His hand paused, and Lan Qi's scarlet eyes became slightly clearer.
He listened attentively.
Not long after, Jiu Zhao murmured again: "I, I know, you feel sorry for me... Don't be angry, Lan Qi..."
Her voice was very soft, but every word was clear to the ears of the young man with powerful magic.
Surprisingly, I'm thinking about him even in my dreams——
It is said that the truth comes out when drunk and one speaks one's true feelings in dreams. When he wanted to kill the white fox with a palm, Jiu Zhao's reaction was clearly to argue with him.
So, were these two sentences the true words that she was too embarrassed to say a few hours ago?
While being moved, Lan Qi couldn't help but doubt.
Maybe she had sensed the murderous intention and had deliberately said such words in an attempt to soften his heart.
Jiu Zhao has never been such a cunning person.
What's more, if I just closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, how could he not notice?
My mood inexplicably became happy and light, as if I wanted to grow wings on both sides and fly in the air.
Lan Qi didn't realize that the curve at the corner of his lips was at odds with the doubt in his eyes.
The evil spirit dissipated, and he moved gently, leaving Jiu Zhao's neck and gently stroking her jaw, face and forehead.
"rest assured.
"After a while, Zhu Yan, Fu Xu, or others will covet you.
“They will all disappear.”
He leaned over and gave the person on the bed a light kiss on the corner of his lips.
Lan Qi finished his gentle yet chilling declaration, and his figure turned into dust surrounded by an ominous black light and dissipated on the spot.
…
In the pitch-black darkness.
Jiu Zhao, who seemed to be sleeping, opened his eyes silently.
…
A few more days passed.
The wedding is being prepared in an orderly manner.
After successfully completing his training, Xuebao was sent to Lianli Hall after passing through layers of tests.
The gilded carved cage was replaced with a more spacious one, with each cage rod engraved with dense secret characters - on the one hand, it could suppress Olaf's wildness, and on the other hand, when it intended to hurt someone, the spell corresponding to the secret characters would be automatically released, restraining its limbs.
After circling around the cage a few times, he saw Jiuzhao's Snow Baby again and showed unprecedented affection, whimpering like a puppy.
Jiu Zhao did not respond for a moment, but just half-closed his eyes and looked at its changes from time to time.
The maidservant beside her understood and walked over, trying to pick up the tray on the table and bring the cage over so that she could admire it up close.
Who knew——
Seeing that the person approaching him was not Jiu Zhao, Xue Bao bared his tender fangs, scratched the ground with his four claws, raised his hair, and growled threateningly at the maid.
Due to the existence of the secret text, it did not rush to approach the gap between the cage bars to bite.
He just kept making threatening roars.
The maidservant was not frightened, but was a little embarrassed: "Fairy, do you think we should send this white fox back——"
“No need.”
For some reason, Jiu Zhao saw some anxiety in Xue Bao's narrow fox eyes.
She thought for a moment and then ordered, "Perhaps it's been frightened by the many people who have been inspecting it today. You all should leave first."
"But, Your Majesty—"
"It's okay. Isn't there a secret text on the cage to protect me?"
Jiu Zhao interrupted her, "How can a little brat like this, who doesn't even have the power to transform into a human, break Zhu Yan's spell?"
The maid wanted to persuade him again, but she caught a glimpse of impatience on Jiu Zhao's face out of the corner of her eye.
They were all startled and quickly retreated.
After there were no more outsiders in Lianli Hall, Xuebao finally calmed down.
Jiu Zhao stood up and slowly walked to the table. He tapped the edge of the cage twice with his fingers and said jokingly:
"Why are you so anxious to scare them away? Did Zhu Yan hide some secret message on you and rush to give it to me?"
Olaf is just a beast without any intelligence.
She was just looking for some fun out of boredom and didn't expect it to understand.
However, the next moment, Olaf suddenly curled up his limbs, held his stomach, and made signs of vomiting.
“Ka-ka—”
Sounds similar to choking water rang out continuously, and in a blink of an eye, a ball of paper without a trace of saliva was spit out by it.
"?"
A question mark appeared on Jiu Zhao’s forehead.
The surface of the paper ball was still clean. After being locked up in Wu Ri Yuan for so long, she had long lost her mysophobia.
Take it out of the cage and open it to have a look.
These are Zhu Yan's notes.
The letter reads:
"I have something important to tell you about the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. If you're interested, you can be at Yingxi Cloth Manor in the capital in three days. I'll be waiting for you anytime."
