Chapter 6: Husband, he wants to steal me!
The warmth in my body was still flowing through my limbs.
Zheng Qiuyu clenched his fists lightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
The third level of Qi Refining.
This is the power of a cultivator.
Although it was pitifully weak, it was a huge surprise for a mortal who was just struggling on the brink of death.
She lowered her head and looked at the flame-shaped mark on her fair wrist.
The golden pattern feels a little warm to the touch.
"bride price".
The "bride price" of the gods.
This thing seems to be more effective than any amulet in the system mall.
The fear in Zheng Qiuyu's heart was greatly diluted by this false sense of security.
She began to calculate what she should exchange the 10,000 Qi Tian points she had just obtained for something to save her life.
Just then.
“Hehehe…”
A sinister laugh that made one's teeth ache came from the cave entrance without any warning.
The laughter penetrated into my ears, like someone scraping bones with a rusty iron sheet.
Immediately afterwards, a thick and insoluble pressure came overwhelming.
The air instantly became thick, carrying a sweet and greasy smell of blood, making it hard to breathe.
This pressure is more than ten times stronger than that of the previous ancestor of the Wang family.
The little bit of joy that Zheng Qiuyu had just felt was instantly frozen into ice.
All the hairs on her body stood up.
As expected, there are even more terrifying things hidden in the divine prison "Guixu".
A skinny figure appeared in the shadow of the cave entrance.
He was standing on a surging river of blood, the water bubbling and gurgling, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in it.
It was an old man, wearing a blood-red robe. He was skinny, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
His eyes were first fixed on the golden divine seal on Zheng Qiuyu's wrist, and his greed was not concealed at all.
Then he turned his gaze to Zhuohuo, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, his eyes full of contempt.
"Hey, isn't this the famous Burning Fire God?"
The old man laughed strangely, his voice shrill.
"After not seeing you for ten thousand years, you've actually fallen to the point where you need a mortal woman to feed you elixirs to keep you alive?"
"What a waste!"
The word "waste" is very light.
But it was like a needle dipped in poison, piercing into the burning and chaotic subconscious with incredible precision.
He didn't open his eyes.
But the space around him began to twist violently, making a "cracking" sound as if it could not bear the weight.
A destructive force leaked out of his body uncontrollably.
The entire cave's rock wall was instantly covered with dense, spider-web-like cracks, and broken rocks fell down.
Zheng Qiuyu's scalp felt numb.
She saw clearly that Zhuohuo didn't understand what "anger" meant at the moment, let alone what "humiliation" meant.
This is just pure instinct.
Once this force erupts, it will indiscriminately destroy everything here.
Including herself.
[Warning! The target's emotions are experiencing violent and chaotic fluctuations, and there is a risk of losing control!]
[Host, please guide the target's emotions immediately. Failure will cause the target's mind to become disturbed, and the system of lies may collapse!]
The system's shrill alarm exploded in my head.
Zheng Qiuyu's heart was about to jump out of his chest.
But she knew she couldn't be afraid.
If she got scared, she would really die.
She forced herself to suppress the scream from her throat, and instead straightened her back, angrily scolding the Blood River Ancestor at the cave entrance.
"shut up!"
"You old monster, don't try to sow discord between us with your words!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't give the other person any time to react.
She immediately turned around and hugged the arm that was burning and starting to emit high temperature.
She used up all her life's acting skills, making her voice full of grievance and immense anger, and loudly "complained" to the burning fire.
"Husband, listen, he's talking nonsense!"
"He must be jealous that we have the 'Divine Seal' as a betrothal gift!"
"He wanted to take away the token of love you gave me, so he said these words on purpose to anger you!"
The chaotic power in Shaohuo's body that was about to explode suddenly stopped.
"envy".
"Seize the token of love."
These two words that he had just learned and believed in miraculously found an outlet for the riot that had nowhere to go.
He slowly opened his blood-red eyes.
That look was no longer blank and confused as before.
Only the most primitive murderous intent to tear everything apart remained.
For the first time, he clearly identified an outsider as an enemy.
When the Blood River Patriarch saw Zhuo Huo open his eyes, his body stiffened at first.
But the murderous intent in those red eyes, although terrifying, was chaotic and unfocused.
He then became even more disdainful.
How could a useless god whose emotions were sealed still cause chaos?
He taunted her even more fiercely, his voice echoing in the cave with a malicious pleasure.
"A token of love? Hahaha!"
"Zhao Huo, have you forgotten how that woman shot you into the abyss?"
"You are just a piece of trash who was toyed with and abandoned by women!"
"The biggest joke in the world!"
"Abandoned by a woman."
These words, like an unbearable thunderbolt, struck fiercely into Burning Blank's mind.
Severe pain.
A severe pain that far exceeded the shackles of heaven and originated from the depths of the soul exploded.
He subconsciously reached out and covered his head.
He didn't understand the specific meaning of that sentence.
He didn't know who "that woman" was.
But he instinctively felt a huge, indelible shame.
And there is [hatred].
boom--!
The destructive power raging around him was completely out of control.
The ground beneath my feet shattered into pieces, and black cracks in the space spread like snakes.
The air was torn apart, making a sharp whine.
Zheng Qiuyu's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
This is the most dangerous moment.
She risked everything and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Husband, don't listen to him!"
"The woman he was talking about..."
"He's slandering you, trying to confuse you so he can take me away from you!"
She tried to recall the plot of the novel as quickly as possible, but she couldn't remember anything.
Don't blame her for this. She only read the first few chapters of the novel and didn't read the rest.
Now she has cleverly twisted the "historical betrayal" that she was completely unaware of into the "hatred of having her wife stolen from her in front of her."
As soon as she finished speaking, the system's prompt sound exploded wildly in her head.
The lies are logically consistent! They successfully distort cause and effect, grafting 'historical hatred' onto 'real jealousy'!
[The credibility of lies has skyrocketed by 30%!]
[Reward: Novice Noble Phantasm 'Purification Array (Trial Version)'! ]
When the Blood River Patriarch saw Zhuohuo covering his head in pain, he thought that his verbal attack had worked and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He grinned and waved his hand.
A fishy and bloody aura turned into a sharp arrow and shot straight towards Zheng Qiuyu, who was affected by the chaotic force field of burning fire and could not move!
Zheng Qiuyu had no time to think, there was only one thought in his mind.
use!
As soon as she thought about it, a palm-sized golden array plate engraved with complex runes instantly appeared in her palm.
Without hesitation, she poured all the spiritual power in her body into it.
Buzz!
A golden light shield opened instantly, tightly protecting her and the painful burning fire in front of her.
The bloody arrow hit the light shield and with a "hiss" sound, it disappeared in an instant like boiling oil poured on snow.
Zheng Qiuyu immediately acted like a survivor, looking weak yet resolute.
She grabbed her burning sleeve, her voice trembling as she pointed anxiously at the Blood River Ancestor outside the cave.
"Husband, look, he really did take action!"
"His words are all lies, his purpose is to hurt us!"
The attack of the Blood River Ancestor was blocked, and for the first time, an expression of astonishment appeared on his dry old face.
He never expected that a mortal woman in the Qi Refining Stage would have a treasure of this level in her hands.
Zheng Qiuyu's performance was flawless.
The chaos in Zhuohuo's brain, which was a mixture of shame and hatred, had a clearer direction because of this "living" evidence.
Zheng Qiuyu looked at Shaohuo, whose face turned pale due to the severe pain, with tears in her eyes.
His lips were bloodless and his long white hair hung down in a mess. His appearance made her heart shrink inexplicably.
She spoke word by word, her voice not loud but extremely clear.
"I don't care what others say, I only believe my eyes."
"In my heart, you are not a waste."
"You are a god who stands tall and proud, and you are my husband."
These words, along with her action of blocking the way, were like a powerful tranquilizer, injecting the burning fire into the soul that was about to boil.
The rage within him that threatened to destroy everything miraculously subsided.
It no longer spreads outward indiscriminately.
Instead, he condensed and compressed all the boiling murderous intent into substance.
All of them were aimed at the Blood River Ancestor outside the formation.
Zhuohuo slowly stood up straight.
He raised his hand and for the first time took the initiative to gently pull the thin Zheng Qiuyu behind him.
A clear protective gesture. He looked at the Blood River Ancestor at the cave entrance and, in his cold, hoarse voice, uttered the first complete sentence he understood after Zheng Qiuyu's "translation."
"You want to..."
"Steal my things?"
That primitive, unreasonable possessive desire, mixed with the extremely pure murderous intent after being guided, made the Blood River Ancestor feel the fatal crisis from this "useless god" for the first time.
The Blood River Ancestor was startled by the aura emanating from Zhuo Huo.
But that fear was quickly suppressed by the golden light emitted by the divine seal on his wrist.
That is the mark of God.
It is a treasure.
Greed ultimately triumphs over fear.
He opened his mouth and revealed a hideous smile.
"So what?"
"A useless god whose soul has been shattered is worthy of owning such a top-grade furnace?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already attacked with all his strength.
The river of blood beneath his feet suddenly surged, and a foul odor rose into the sky, almost submerging the entire cave.
The river water surged and turned into thousands of bloody skulls.
They opened their dark mouths, roared silently, and rushed towards the purification array in front of Zheng Qiuyu in dense groups.
Buzz——!
The golden array plate flashed wildly, the shield shook violently, and even tiny cracks appeared on the surface.
The formation plate let out a mournful cry as if it could not bear the heavy burden.
It won't last long.
Zheng Qiuyu's face turned pale in an instant.
She understood that relying solely on defense would be a dead end.
It is necessary to let the burning fire "learn" to attack actively.
She gritted her teeth, forced herself to squeeze out a painful expression, and shouted anxiously to the burning fire behind her.
"Husband, he's going to break the betrothal gift you gave me!"
"I...I can't protect it anymore!"
She pointed at the Blood River Ancestor who was laughing wildly at the cave entrance, and her voice was filled with tears, almost shouting.
"This feeling... is [jealousy]!"
"He's jealous of our love, so he wants to destroy everything we have!"
"You need to let him know what happens to those who are jealous of us!"
【envy】.
This word, like a key, instantly unlocked the shackles of all of Shaohuo's actions.
In his blank cognition, a simple and perfect logical loop was instantly formed.
The person in front of us is "jealous" of us.
So he wants to "hurt" my woman and "steal" my things.
Solution: [Destruction].
There are no complicated movements involved in burning fire.
There wasn't even any extra expression on his face, he still looked cold and blank.
He just raised his hand.
Facing the river of blood that covered the sky and the sun, facing the thousands of roaring skeletons.
A gentle squeeze.
boom--!
The entire rushing river of blood, along with the countless roaring skeletons, all solidified in mid-air at this moment.
Time seemed to stand still.
Then, a scene appeared that made the Blood River Ancestor's soul shatter.
The solidified river of blood, like a burning scroll, silently turned into golden ashes starting from the very edge.
The golden ashes flowed upstream.
Wherever it passed, all the blood and filth completely evaporated, leaving not even a trace of breath.
The Blood River Ancestor was horrified.
His life-saving magic weapon, the blood river that had been cultivated for thousands of years, was burned in one move.
His soul was severely damaged, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, let out a shrill scream, turned around and tried to escape by turning into a streak of blood.
Zhuohuo spat out two words coldly.
"It's too late."
The fleeing figure of the Blood River Ancestor was caught by an invisible golden hand in mid-air.
The hand just squeezed lightly.
Bang!
The Blood River Patriarch followed in the footsteps of the Wang Family Patriarch and exploded into a thick blood mist in the air.
The next second, golden divine fire appeared out of nowhere and burned the blood mist to ashes.
The battle is over.
The murderous intent in Zhuo Huo slowly faded away, and a hint of confusion returned to his blood-red eyes.
He lowered his head.
Saw Zheng Qiuyu’s face.
There was still some blood on that little face, and his eyes were a mixture of fear, admiration, and a kind of dependence that he could not understand.
This look made him a little confused.
But it is very useful.
At this moment, a cold, emotionless system voice sounded in his mind.
[Main quest released: Escape from Guixu.]

[Failure penalty: Obliterate.]
