Chapter 36: Three-Year Agreement! I bet you dare not touch the demon fetus in my belly!
In the face of this force, the Qingyun Sect's mountain protection formation was as thin as a layer of window paper.
All her schemes and lies became ridiculous struggles in the face of such absolute, overwhelming power.
Are you going to die?
Just before the evil chain was about to touch the burning fire.
A voice suddenly entered Zheng Qiuyu's mind.
It’s Yunya.
"Saya's weakness is her son, Jin. Tell her that the child in your belly is Jin's reincarnation."
These words were not like lightning, but directly ignited a sun in her chaotic consciousness.
The darkness was dispelled in an instant.
Her pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint due to extreme shock.
An extremely crazy and despicable idea quickly formed in her mind.
She caught it.
He used all his strength to grab the only life-saving straw that stretched out from the crack of hell.
Zheng Qiuyu suddenly opened his arms and used his body, which was fragile and vulnerable to the overwhelming demonic power, to block in front of Zhuo Huo.
"If you take my husband away, I will end my life here!"
Her voice tore through her throat, carrying the smell of blood and a desperate madness.
"You will never see your son, Jin, again!"
The moment she shouted this, she mobilized every bit of her mental strength and issued the most complex and crazy verbal command ever to the system!
"ember?"
The succubus queen, who was about to strike a blow, suddenly stopped her devastating attack.
More than a dozen demonic chains that were strong enough to pierce through a mountain stopped abruptly less than an inch away from Zheng Qiuyu's back. The demonic energy at the chain heads even blew her hair.
For the first time, her brows under the black veil were tightly furrowed.
"child?"
The word came out of her mouth with a tremor that she herself did not even notice.
When she cast her gaze towards the burning fire again, she actually sensed a trace of pure chaotic origin... a faint resonance with the blood of "Jins" deep in her memory.
[System prompt: The sweetness of lies has soared to an all-time high.]
[System prompt: The target person's 'Succubus Queen Soye' trust index increased by 30%.]
it works!
Zheng Qiuyu's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She made the right bet!
She suppressed her ecstasy at surviving the disaster and struck while the iron was hot, pushing this life-threatening drama to a climax.
She turned around and no longer looked at the queen who was high above her. Instead, she gently stroked the sleeping face of the burning fire with an almost pious gesture.
Her eyes were instantly filled with tears, a mixture of love, pleading and reluctance, a "maternal" glow.
"Your Majesty, you cannot take him away."
"I love my husband."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and every word felt like flesh being cut from her heart.
"If he is forcibly taken away, my child... no, your Jin, will probably never be born again!"
Her performance was impeccable.
The Succubus Queen fell completely silent.
She is the queen of the Demon Realm, cruel and ruthless, and decisive in killing.
But she is also Jin's mother.
This is her only and most fatal weakness.
She didn't dare to gamble.
What if...what if what this ant-like human woman said is true?
Then what I am doing now is killing my son's only hope of rebirth with my own hands?
After a long, suffocating silence.
The black chains hovering in the air turned into demonic energy and slowly dissipated.
The pressure that had caused everything in the Qingyun Sect to wither also receded like the tide.
"good."
The succubus queen's cold voice sounded again, but with a hint of complexity and indistinguishable meaning.
"I'll give you three years."
"Within three years, you must prove to me that the ash in his belly... is mine."
"Otherwise, I will come again."
"By then, the entire Qingyuan Realm will be buried with him."
As soon as she finished speaking, her enchanting figure turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared into the sky.
Zheng Qiuyu's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, only holding onto the edge of the cold jade bed to avoid sliding down.
She was breathing heavily, and the clothes on her back were already completely soaked with cold sweat.
Win.
Once again, she managed to find a glimmer of hope for herself from a desperate situation where she was certain to die.
However, there was no joy in her heart, only endless fatigue and cold fear.
Three years.
Where would she conjure a child? And how could she "prove" that this child was Jhin?
This is simply an unsolvable deadlock, a guillotine with a countdown.
At this moment, Zheng Qiuyu suddenly noticed something was wrong.
In the thrilling game of life and death just now, the love poison chain on the burning brow remained strangely calm from beginning to end.
No flickering, no fluctuation.
That hideous bloody mark was quietly imprinted there.
It seemed as if her eloquent lie of "maternal love" had even fooled the Heavenly Love Gu, temporarily suppressing its violent instincts.
The remaining power of the Succubus Queen turned into an invisible dark cloud, weighing heavily on the soul of every person in the Qingyun Sect.
Zheng Qiuyu took advantage of this dark cloud to launch a bloody cleansing of Danfeng.
In the Danfeng Hall, the atmosphere was as stagnant as iron.
"Elder Wang's former subordinates: Liu Yuan, Sun Li, and Zhao Ke."
Zheng Qiuyu's voice was not loud, but it was like a steel needle tempered with cold poison, piercing everyone's eardrum.
"Forming a clique for personal gain, deceiving superiors and subordinates, abolishing cultivation, and expelling from Danfeng."
The words were spoken.
The three disciples' faces turned pale, their bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to even utter a word of begging for mercy.
No one dared to speak.
Zheng Qiuyu's gaze fell on the other two people.
"Chen Jing and Li Mu, you have remained calm in the face of danger and your loyalty is commendable. Effective immediately, you will be promoted to Inner Gate Deacons to assist in the management of Danfeng's affairs."
One penalty.
A reward.
Thunderous means, words followed by laws.
There is no second thought in the entire Danfeng.
From this moment on, she was the only queen of Danfeng.
The night is like thick ink that cannot be dissolved.
The stone door of the secret room slowly closed, isolating it from the outside world.
Zheng Qiuyu, who had taken off all his disguises, had his body's support drained away in an instant, and he collapsed heavily on the cold stone chair.
Her fingertips were trembling uncontrollably, and every heartbeat brought a stabbing pain to her soul.
She looked at her own pale, bloodless reflection in the basin, her eyes terribly empty.
It turns out that this road is like walking on the edge of a knife, and you have to move forward alone.
A very light sound of footsteps was heard outside the door.
Zheng Qiuyu's body instantly tensed up, like a fully drawn bow.
The stone door was pushed open a crack.
The visitors were the clan leader Li Qingxuan and his wife Li Qingya.
Li Qingya was holding the food box, her face full of gentle concern.
"Qiuyu, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
When the food box was opened, the hot steam from a bowl of porridge, mixed with the aroma of soothing herbs, instantly filled the entire cold secret room.
"This is 'Concentrating the Mind and Nourishing the Soul' Porridge. You've been draining your energy too much. Drinking this will help you feel better."
Not a single question, not a single sermon.
There is only the purest concern without any mixed interests.
The homely aroma of the porridge was like a warm current, violently breaking through the layers of ice in Zheng Qiuyu's heart. Her nerves, stretched to the point of breaking, finally found a moment's respite.
After the sect leader and his wife left, the secret room returned to silence.
Zheng Qiuyu sat beside the cold jade bed, his eyes fixed on Zhuohuo's peaceful sleeping face.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was suffering endless pain even in his dream.
As if possessed by a ghost, she stretched out her hand.
With a hint of hesitation that she herself hadn't even noticed, her fingertips gently tried to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.
A thought emerged from the deepest part of my heart without any warning.
If... there were no lies, no missions, just like this...
She shuddered at the thought.
Then, a hint of self-mockery crept up the corners of his mouth.
She abruptly withdrew her hand, extinguishing this fatal thought.
She stood up and walked towards the medicine shelf, ready to take a pill to restore her mind.
The moment he turned around, his sleeve accidentally knocked over a row of jade bottles on the shelf.
That was a precious elixir that she had spent countless efforts to refine, and any bottle of it was priceless.
A crisp collision sound was heard, and the jade bottle was about to fall!
Zheng Qiuyu's heart stopped!
In the blink of an eye.
A force of chaos, so weak that it was almost imperceptible, popped out from the dormant burning fingertips.
The power was extremely precise, without any unnecessary fluctuations.
It steadily held up all the jade bottles that were about to fall, and then gently put them back to their original places one by one, unharmed.
The whole process is extremely fast and extremely quiet.
It was as if just a breeze was blowing by.
Zheng Qiuyu's pupils shrank into the most dangerous needle points.
She stared at the burning fire.
He was still sleeping, breathing steadily, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
She understood.
Protect her.
This command has transcended consciousness and words and has been directly engraved into his instincts!
This silent protection is more impactful than any earth-shaking oath.
A cold boulder slammed heavily into Zheng Qiuyu's heart, stirring up not ripples but raging waves that were enough to swallow her up!
For the first time, she was forced to face up to the fact that this "love" she had created with her own hands had grown into such a terrifying state!
She subconsciously checked the love poison between her burning eyebrows again.
The cracks on the bloody chain mark were deeper and more hideous than ever before.
But at this moment it was eerily quiet.
There was not a trace of energy fluctuation, as quiet as a dead object branded on a wall.
The extreme tranquility before the storm made her blood run cold.
Zheng Qiuyu took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress all the surging emotions.
Fear doesn't solve problems.
She must find a way to break the deadlock!
At this moment, a disciple's announcement came from outside the door, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
"Deacon Elder, Senior Brother Baili from Jianfeng requests to see you!"
"He said...he found important clues about the 'Curse of the Son of God' and compiled them into a manuscript!"
