Chapter 103: The Woman and the Man with Black Mist on Their Faces
The palace is magnificent, and the picturesque scenery of mountains and rivers makes it look like a fairyland in the clouds.
Hua Yanci looked up at the palace and slowly walked to the gate. The door panel was carved with exquisite totems. He wanted to push it open, but hesitated as he approached.
"Clang—"
Bai Xiaoxiao slammed the door open with her head.
"Didn't you say your mother was in danger? Then why are you still hesitating? I'll just get beaten up, but I'll save her first."
Hua Yanci took a deep breath.
The long-term anticipation and fear for his mother made him anxious. He didn't know if he could get close to her or how to get close to her. But with someone as lively and energetic as Bai Xiaoxiao, all his worries were blown away.
He stepped into the palace.
The pale pink tulle rises and falls, the exquisite porcelain vase with fallen flowers is elegant and noble, the ground is covered with a bright red plush carpet with patterns outlined with gold thread, the light-transmitting carved windows are tightly closed, and only the round night pearls illuminate the entire hall.
The further they went inside, the more exquisite decorations they saw.
The light became increasingly flickering.
"Mother!"
A huge, soft bed suddenly appeared before them.
A white, slender hand appeared outside the bed curtain, hanging limply.
Hua Yanci ran over in a few steps and lifted the thin red curtain: "Mother!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was shocked. What shocked her was not how haggard and miserable the person on the bed looked, but that the person lying on the bed had a graceful body but a blurry face.
The face had no features and no outlines, and was shrouded in pitch-black fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
But even so, Hua Yanci still knelt in front of the bed, held her hand and called her "mother" over and over again.
Bai Xiaoxiao's expression became more and more terrified.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise behind me.
When they turned their heads, they saw several people suddenly appear.
The most familiar person was Yin She, who stood there with a sinister and mocking smile, as if provoking them.
And the rest...
The rest of the people only had bodies, without any facial features or faces at all!
"Father..."
Hua Yanci's murmuring voice reached Bai Xiaoxiao's ears.
Bai Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in horror and followed his gaze to the man in front who was the most gorgeously dressed, but his face was the one covered with the thickest black fog.
"Aya!"
The man shook off Hua Yanci and carefully held the hand of the lying woman. His fingertips lifted her fine black hair and then slid it down little by little as if to stroke her face.
"Aya! Aya! You evil creature, what have you done?!"
The man called out to the woman several times but she didn't wake up, and his burning anger instantly turned to Hua Yanci.
Hua Yanci also shook her head in fear: "I don't know... I don't know, as soon as I arrived, my mother..."
"Shut up, she's not your mother!"
The man waved his wide robe sleeves, and the strong demonic aura was like a gust of wind that instantly blew Hua Yanci away.
Hua Yanci bumped into the cylinder and vomited blood.
【Second Brother! 】
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly jumped to Hua Yanci's side.
[How are you? Are you okay? Isn't that your father? Why did he hit you?]
"Yin Snake."
The man's voice was filled with majesty. Yin She, who had just been watching the fun, lowered his head quickly when he heard the call of his master: "King."
"Tell me what's going on."
The man held the woman's hand tightly on the couch from beginning to end, and his eyes never left her for a moment, but the strong, bone-eroding pressure surrounding him continued to grow. Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but curl herself up into a ball and looked at Hua Yanci, seeing that he was also shaking violently.
"Perhaps... it is as the prophecy says."
Yin She frowned tightly, and looked at Hua Yanci coldly as if he had thought of something: "The eldest prince of the demon world is a calamity star, endangering the tribe and bringing disaster to his parents..."
“That’s enough!”
The man's voice was full of authority and viciousness. He turned his gaze towards the face shrouded in black mist and asked, "How did you find yourself here?"
"I, I know..."
Hua Yanci's voice trembled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and confronted the man in front of him.
"Did she tell you..." The man's eyes fell back on the woman. His expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was full of tenderness and attachment. "I always knew that she hated me, disliked me, and wanted to leave me... But it doesn't matter. As long as she can stay by my side, no matter how she scolds me, it doesn't matter. But now..."
"You saw her for the last time, didn't you? She still had you in her heart, so she chose to see you one last time before passing away."
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her somewhat clumsy head.
She remembered the painful look on Hua Yanci's face when he saw his mother. It didn't look like it was the last time he saw her.
"You shouldn't have come to her..."
The man seemed to be trapped in some kind of obsession, muttering non-stop, "You shouldn't have come... As long as you don't come to find her, she will always be waiting... She won't, won't abandon me so easily. You shouldn't have come to find her, why did you come to find her... Why did you come to find her?!"
A strong demonic aura attacked Hua Yanci.
Bai Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to pounce on Hua Yanci, but the powerful force scared her away, and her body flipped over and fell to the ground. She felt dizzy, and she stood up and shook her head. When she looked up again, she found that she was no longer in the palace.
The surrounding scene changes.
The magnificent and noble pavilion turned into a dark and cold prison cell.
Cold iron chains bound his wrists and hung him in the air, but his knees were on the ground, and a complex crimson magic circle, centered around him, flashed with enchanting and strange light.
[Second Brother?!]
Bai Xiaoxiao could tell at a glance that this was the Sin-Eating Tower, but she never expected that Hua Yanci was imprisoned on the top floor of the Sin-Eating Tower.
"noob?"
Hua Yanci trembled her fingertips and slowly raised her head.
The pale skin was bloodless and the dark pupils were dull.
But when his eyes fell on Bai Xiaoxiao, the little strength he had was instantly concentrated. He knelt down and took two steps to get closer to Bai Xiaoxiao, but the red light surrounding him suddenly turned into sharp thorns, piercing Hua Yanci's body and preventing him from moving.
[Don't move! Don't move!]
Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to jump over anxiously, but was also blown far away by the red light.
"Xiaobai, don't move... cough cough cough!"
The crimson thorn retracted, and Hua Yanci violently spat out blood. "Don't trespass, Xiaobai. This formation isn't something you can withstand." His eyes softened. "I'm already very happy to know that you're safe. This at least proves... I didn't kill you."
"Xiaobai, leave quickly before they find you... Live well, don't go back to the demon world, and don't come looking for me again, I..." He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, "I don't want you anymore! Leave quickly!"
[Why the hell are you giving me Qiong Yao?!]
Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed the hair on her arms.
I've already been through the Sin-Eating Tower once. There's nothing to be afraid of in a place like this, where you can only drive a baby stroller.
