Blood mixing
Deep in the cave, bean-sized drops of water slid down the wall, soaking the stones scattered on the ground. A damp chill seemed to seep from these stones, creeping up from the respiratory tract to the chest, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Xian Youlin was lying on a cold stone bed, with An Luoyi guarding him.
The stone gate rose, and Bitar walked out, carrying several books. "The cold air here can temporarily suppress the black energy in his body."
"Is there a solution?"
Bi Tatar unfolded the scroll: "This ancient book records that pure phoenix blood can burn away all darkness that is extremely dark and evil."
"Pure Phoenix blood?" An Luo pondered. "It's said that I'm the reincarnation of the Bright Phoenix. Does that mean I have pure blood?"
Bitar shook his head: "You can't, even though you have noble blood and haven't been awakened yet, but your sister should be able to do it."
An Luoyi: "Then how should we do it?"
"Exchange blood." Bitar's eyes showed a hint of hesitation. "Only by exchanging blood can the Phoenix blood burn away the black energy."
"Impossible!" An Luoyi's expression changed drastically. "This is a life for a life! I can sacrifice my life to save Xian Youlin, but I will never gamble with my sister's life."
Bi Tatar didn't want to do this either, but this was the only solution he could think of right now, and Xian Youlin didn't have much time left...
The attendant came to report: "Master! There is a guest in the Ninth Heaven who wants to see you."
"Who?"
"She calls herself the High Priestess of the Nine Heavens."
An Luoyi's face lit up with joy: "It's Qianyu, I'll go meet her."
Mu Qianyu waited for a long time and saw An Luoyi hugging her affectionately: "Xiaoyi."
An Luoyi hugged him back: "Why did you come here suddenly? What happened?"
"Look." Mu Qianyu spread her palms, "I'll deliver the antidote."
An Luoyi's eyes widened. "You went to find Fu Tan? But from what I know about him, how could he possibly hand over the antidote with both hands?"
Mu Qianyu remained silent. An Luoyi stared at her suspiciously, "What kind of deal did you make with him?"
Mu Qianyu smiled with relief: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."
"I want to hear the truth." An Luoyi was terribly serious.
"Alas." Mu Qianyu sighed, "Fu Tan threatened to marry you by offering the antidote, and Yun Ti used the same trick to trick you into giving him the antidote."
"Stupid!" An Luoyi was furious. "How could you allow her to do this?"
"She couldn't bear to see you and Xian Youlin separated by Yin and Yang, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure." Mu Qianyu didn't tell An Luoyi about the current situation between Jiutian and the Demon Realm. She was already suffering enough. If this plan could defeat Fu Tan in one fell swoop, there would be no need to distract Xiaoyi, but...
"I don't need it! Let her send it back!" An Luoyi pushed Mu Qianyu's hand away and said.
Sure enough, Mu Qianyu expected that An Luoyi would not accept it.
"Xiaoyi, we already have the antidote, why not use it to treat Xian Youlin first? We can talk about the marriage later."
An Luoyi's expression grew colder and colder. "I said no, I won't marry Fu Tan, and I won't sacrifice my sister's happiness!"
Mu Qianyu looked at An Luoyi in confusion, "Why do you have to do this?"
An Luoyi knew Qianyu was also thinking about her, so she softened her expression and said, "You can take it back. I really don't need it. I have found a way to save Xian Youlin."
At this point, we can only try our best to save the situation...
Mu Qianyu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
An Luoyi glanced away and said, "Of course."
An Luoyi was certain, but Mu Qianyu still felt something was wrong. "In that case, I'll stay here and help you."
An Luoyi hesitated for a long time and finally said, "It's up to you."
The bright red wedding dress caught Fang Jinghe's eyes. Fu Tan had sent a puppet to deliver it this morning and had also specifically instructed that the wedding would be held tomorrow.
As soon as Yunti entered the room, she saw Fang Jinghe, who looked like he was going to die with his wedding dress. She teased, "Hey, what's going on?"
"Hmph." Fang Jinghe turned his head to the side and snorted.
Yunti said with some amusement: "Didn't you say you weren't angry?"
"Angry? Who said that!" Fang Jinghe still tilted his head.
The two bickered for a while, and Yunti took Fang Jinghe's hand. "Success or failure depends on tomorrow. I hope we can get what we want."
Thinking of the big battle tomorrow, Fang Jinghe tightened his grip on her hand, "No matter what the outcome, I will be with you."
Mu Qianyu calculated that it was almost time for the agreed wedding date. Since she hadn't seen any unusual movement from Youming in the past few days, she considered going back as soon as possible to help Yunti.
Just before leaving, Mu Qianyu discovered An Luoyi sneaking towards a cave.
An Luoyi was ready to die, and Mu Qianyu followed her and unexpectedly discovered Xianyoulin, whom she had not seen for many days.
Xian Youlin was lying unconscious on the stone bed, surrounded by copper sticks with runes, which seemed to have been prepared for several days.
An Luoyi sat beside the stone bed and took Xian Youlin's hand: "I said I would definitely save you. If I fail, at least we can still be together."
Xian Youlin was helped up and sat opposite An Luoyi. Although his eyes were closed, he could sense a hint of movement in the outside world. When he thought of what An Luoyi was going to do next, tears couldn't help but stream down his face.
An Luoyi used his spiritual power to cut the palms of the two people, and red blood flowed out. Under the operation of the magic, the two people's tightly pressed palms began to exchange blood. The feeling of blood exchange was not pleasant, and even An Luoyi couldn't help frowning slightly.
She really had no choice. An Luoyi would not exchange his sister's life for Xian Youlin's survival, but he was also unwilling to watch him die for her. Now she could only give it a try.
At this point, Mu Qianyu finally saw what An Luoyi was trying to do! She had read ancient books and knew about this method, but because there was no longer a Golden Fire Phoenix in the world, there was no real example. Such a dangerous method would kill both of them if they were not careful!
Mu Qianyu murmured, "No wonder Xiaoyi has been acting so mysteriously these past two days without saying a word. No! I have to stop her!"
Mu Qianyu flew forward, and An Luoyi was startled and shouted, "Don't come over!"
As expected, before Mu Qianyu could get close, she was blocked by the copper talisman. She vomited a mouthful of blood, and even a streak of blood flowed from the corner of An Luoyi's mouth.
"Xiaoyi... stop now, you will die." Mu Qianyu was seriously injured but still did not forget to stop An Luoyi.
An Luoyi's eyes were moist and he choked with sobs: "I can't stop, Qianyu! You have to take good care of Yunti for me."
After saying this, An Luoyi urged his spiritual power to speed up the blood exchange! Red light swirled around the two of them, and the Phoenix Fire spread to three meters away, forcing Mu Qianyu to stay away. An Luoyi's blood also continued to burn as the exchange continued.
“Ahhhhh!” The blood ignited by the Phoenix True Fire flowed throughout An Luoyi’s body. She cried out in pain, “So… Mother, this is how painful it is…”
An Luoyi thought of her mother who had set herself on fire that day, and she became even more determined not to lose anyone important to her again! The Phoenix Blood was taking effect, and Xian Youlin's blood, which had been tainted by the black energy, was returning to normal!
Upon hearing the commotion, Bitar came quickly, accompanied by an old man who stood calmly by the side, stroking his beard.
"An Luoyi!" Bitar wanted to rush forward in desperation.
The old man stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't act rashly, there are restrictions around her."
Bi Tatar glanced at the old man and calmed down. "An Luoyi, didn't I tell you it's not okay? Why did you act on your own? If anything happens to you, how will I explain it to your father?"
"But I have no choice! I really have no choice!" An Luoyi roared, not noticing that there was another person here.
"Then you should at least discuss it with me!" Bitar said with anger.
"Uncle, it's no use saying this now." An Luoyi's eyes were as empty as a candle that was about to go out...
The silent old man came out at this time: "Child, just go for it. If it's you, you can definitely do it!"
An Luoyi looked at the person who came and some light returned to his eyes. "It's you..."
Bitar was a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"
The old man laughed heartily: "It's a long story."
He stopped laughing and calmly said to Mu Qianyu and Bitar, "The magic circle has been activated and cannot be reversed. All we can do now is to protect her. Do you understand?"
With just one sentence, Mu Qianyu looked at this man with new respect. She originally thought he was an eccentric old man, but his demeanor made it impossible not to be convinced.
An Luoyi showed a grateful look, and the old man just nodded at her.
The three of them each stayed in one area and began to protect An Luoyi. With the nourishment of their spiritual power, An Luoyi's pain was alleviated a lot.
While casting the spell, Mu Qianyu still had some concerns. Today was the wedding day of Fu Tan and Yun Ti. She had not been with Yun Ti, and she didn't know if they could handle it.
The upper realm of the nine heavens.
The fairy servants changed Yunti into a wedding dress with three layers inside and three layers outside. The skirt was so long that it required seven or eight servants to hold it up to fully spread it out.
With a "creak", the palace door was suddenly opened. Fang Jinghe, who was guarding the door, was so stunned that he could hardly retract his jaw. He knew that Yunti was extremely beautiful, but he didn't expect that she would be even more radiant after putting on the wedding dress. What's more, she just put on the clothes and her long hair was not yet groomed.
Fang Jinghe shook his head, throwing away the random thoughts in his mind, "When we get married, I will definitely prepare a dress that is even more beautiful than this!"
Yunti smiled but said nothing. However, the dress was indeed much more exquisite, which showed that Futan had put a lot of effort into it...
The wedding dress he sent was incredibly exquisite, it didn't look like it could have been prepared in just three days. Embroidered in gold thread on the red dress was a lifelike phoenix, an exact replica of the real Phoenix on the Phoenix Terrace. Surrounding the golden phoenix were various birds and beasts, auspicious clouds dotted the blooming flowers. With just a few stitches, the cloak was painted with a scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix!
Yunti combed her hair into a high bun, and Fang Jinghe put a phoenix coronet and bridal robe on her head. The two of them standing together were truly a perfect match. If the man she was marrying today was not Fu Tan, many people would have sent their blessings...
Yunti threw his sleeves, which were in the way, to the sides and said with a relieved tone, "Let's go."
Fang Jinghe personally held up her long skirt, and the two of them walked one after the other towards the sedan chair sent by Fu Tan to greet them.
Two black birds pulled the luxurious wedding sedan, and a ladder lifted the silk curtain inlaid with pearls. The purple nanmu wood was covered with vermilion brocade, and sitting on it felt like falling into cotton.
A'li served as An Luoyi's personal attendant beside the sedan chair, while Fang Jinghe mixed in the wedding procession.
After everything was confirmed to be correct, the wedding procession, led by the Xuanniao, set out in four directions!
The sky of the demonic realm was darker than before. It felt like eternal night had descended, with not a glimmer of hope in sight! Futan, perched atop the main hall, overlooked everything. Black and red silk flowers stretched from the palace's exterior all the way inside. He had spent so much time in the human world, observing mortal marriages. At this moment, he simply wanted to present An Luoyi with a grand feast based on his memories.
