Chapter 15
Nie Wuhen recalled the scene in the sea where he was extremely disgusted with the color white. He was silent for a moment, then lied calmly, "Green."
The next second, Nie Wuhen watched the wings in front of him straighten instantly.
“…”
Cassel was a little confused: "Green? Green? How is this possible? How can a demon's wings be green?"
Nie Wuhen pretended to be dead and said nothing.
Cassel was a little overwhelmed: "Why did I mutate again? Wasn't I white before? Why is it that I'm green now?!" As he said this, he couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to touch the wings, wanting to pull out the feathers.
Nie Wuhen was quick to grab his wrist and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Pull out the feathers!" Cassel tried to break free, but he didn't have enough strength. He finally struggled with all his strength, "Let go! I'm about to turn into a monster! Barbatos will not want me!"
Nie Wuhen grabbed his hand and pressed it on the table again. The two of them got close to each other, almost touching each other. Cassel trembled with fear and dared not move for a moment.
"Just kidding," Nie Wuhen said, "It's white. It's actually quite pretty."
"It's not pretty, not pretty at all," Cassel blinked, tears instantly filling his eyes. He pressed his cheek against the cold table, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word, "I hate white the most. I don't like angels. They're really annoying!"
Nie Wuhen loosened his hand and moved away. He looked down at the feathers on the wings and said hesitantly, "Just pluck them out with your bare hands?"
The pain of plucking a bird's feathers is unbearable. Comparing the feeling to pulling someone's hair out, Nie Wuhen was a little hesitant to do it. If there was any medicine that could block the pain, Nie Wuhen would be able to do it, but at this moment, it was impossible.
But unexpectedly, this guy who usually cries and groans for a long time when his little tentacles are pressed said, pull it out.
Pull it out directly.
Nie Wuhen asked again. But Cassel just urged him to hurry up.
Nie Wuhen closed his eyes and raised his hand to touch the wings. The wings trembled and curled up, but after a while, they trembled and opened again. Before he even pulled it out, Nie Wuhen could already hear the sound of sobbing.
“…”
Nie Wuhen still couldn't bring himself to do it, so he patted Cassel's shoulder and said, "Why do you want to pull it out when you are so afraid of pain?"
"But it will be hard to pluck it out when it's too long," Cassel wiped away his tears and buried his face in his sleeves. His voice was muffled, and his sadness almost turned into substance. "That would hurt more. I'm a little devil and I can't mutate. Barbatos said that this is a disease. If I don't remove the feather, I will never see Barbatos again."
"What absurdity!" Nie Wuhen said, "If you have wings, you will grow feathers. Isn't that normal?"
"But Barbatos and the other little demons have bare wings and no feathers. I am the only one..."
"That's because they are sick," Nie Wuhen dragged a chair and sat next to Cassel, saying, "I don't know anyone with wings like yours, bare and ugly."
Cassel even forgot to cry and stared at Nie Wuhen blankly.
"If you really want to remove it, I will do it painlessly for you tomorrow after we get out."
Nie Wuhen bent down and touched Cassel's ankle. A white light flashed, and the evil demonic aura instantly leaked out. At the same time, the dark lines on his hand began to grow rapidly, spreading to the back of his hand.
Nie Wuhen narrowed his eyes, a dark red light flashed in his eyes, the tip of his tongue pressed against his palate, he stretched out his hand, and quickly sealed Cassel's magic power again.
Cassel, who just felt his mana restored, said: "...Why did you seal my mana again?"
"If I don't seal you, I'll go crazy." Nie Wuhen straightened up and watched the dark lines on the back of his hand fade away. He said, "Either you have magic power, or I have magic power. You can only choose one."
Cassel's voice was hoarse from crying: "Why?"
"Because you have magical powers, I won't be able to control myself and will kill you." Nie Wuhen said in a faint voice.
Cassel: “…”
After such a long time, even if Cassel was sleepy, he didn't dare to sleep. What's more, Nie Wuhen just said such words. He shrank his head and didn't dare to mention the matter of pulling the feathers again.
But I’m sleepy after all! Cassel thought he was not asleep, but just dozing off. In fact, his eyes were closed, his head tilted, and he was sleeping soundly on the table.
Cassel was awakened again in a daze. He subconsciously patted his head and stood up, wanting to see where Nie Wuhen was, but inexplicably found that the whole room had changed.
There was red satin everywhere. The table in front was covered with red silk, on which there were two red candles burning, the flames flickering. On the left, there was a golden wine jug and two small wine glasses.
Cassel was stunned. He always felt that this scene was extremely familiar, just as if he was forced into the wedding sedan that day. When he looked down, he found that his clothes had also been changed. He was wearing bright red clothes and a hat on his head. Not far away, a yellowed bronze mirror clearly reflected his appearance at the moment, with bright red lips and a blood-red cinnabar mole on his forehead.
Outside the door, someone said, the bride and groom have entered the bridal chamber!
Inside the door, on the wedding couch, the bride sat upright, her face hidden under the red veil. She was shy, holding a wedding fan in her hand, and said to Cassel, "My husband."
Cassel: “…”
He was a little curious, so he walked over, bent down, and asked the bride through her red veil, "What does my husband mean?"
The bride chuckled and said, "Husband, it means partner. Since we are married, we are naturally husband and wife. We will live and die together in the future."
Cassel quickly shook his head: "I don't want to live and die with you."
The air was somewhat frozen. Cassel couldn't stand this environment and turned to leave, but the bride called him again, crying: "Are you going to abandon me, my husband? I am alone and marry you, are you going to betray me, my husband?"
Cassel was confused: "What do you mean by slave family?"
bride:"……"
Cassel didn't want to stay here anymore, so he pushed the door open and was about to go out, but the voice behind him suddenly changed, becoming a familiar, yet deep voice, calling him like it had countless times before: "My dear Cassel, where are you going?"
Cassel turned around suddenly and saw that the person who was originally sitting on the bed had lifted the veil, revealing the face that Cassel had been thinking about day and night.
Cassel's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice was almost choked: "Barbatos."
"Ah, my dear child," said the man, with the same countenance as Barbatos, "come to Baba...here."
“…”
Cassel stopped crying. He looked at Barbatos strangely and suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I miss my dear child."
"Oh." Cassel tilted his head to look at her, "I see. Your magic should be the same as the magic of the Phantom Demon. You can transform yourself into the person I want to lure me into the trap, but you are more powerful than him because you also know the illusion of the Dream Angel..."
Barbatos in front of him smiled mechanically and maintained the same posture.
Cassel lowered his head and bit his fingertips hard. The moment the blood came out, the surrounding scene was like a piece of drawing paper that was torn off by someone. Wherever the light spread, it turned into flames, burning the so-called drawing paper, turning into light and shadow, falling down, leaving only endless darkness.
The moment I looked up, a few stars were twinkling in the sky, emitting faint light. The wind was blowing and the clouds were surging. The leaves were rustling and falling all over the ground. The roars of wild beasts could be heard one after another around me.
Cassel was at a loss.
Didn't he remember that he was with Nie Wuhen? Why did he suddenly come to this strange forest? What about Nie Wuhen? Where did he go again?
Cassel was a little scared. He told himself not to be afraid while walking along the path. He tried to call for help, but suddenly found something shiny not far away. At that moment, he was so scared that his hair stood on end. He hid in the bushes beside him, clenching his trembling teeth and not daring to make a sound.
The glittering thing got closer and closer, and the light spot became bigger and bigger. Finally, the light dissipated and turned into a skeleton man, a skeleton man wearing white gauze.
She was speaking, her voice extremely soft: "My husband, where are you? I miss you... Qiongzhi wants to be a pair of wings with Zai Tian, and I want to live and die with you... Come out, don't be afraid of me..."
Cassel covered his mouth, even his tentacles were trembling. He suppressed the fear in his heart and the scream that was stuck in his throat. He closed his eyes and did not dare to look at the skeleton floating back and forth.
What kind of world is this? Why is it more terrifying than the devil?
The voice continued: "My husband, I don't want to play this game anymore... You have to come out, otherwise I will be angry."
Later, the voice gradually became manic, and the voice was shrill and piercing, giving people goose bumps all over their bodies: "I'm going to eat you, hahahahahahaha, I'm going to eat you, my husband, you're so naughty, hahahahahahaha..."
Cassel didn't say anything, but someone patted his shoulder from behind. The devil whispered in his ear: "So you are here, my husband!"
Cassel screamed in fear, and he crawled out of the bushes, running forward without stopping, almost at a loss as to where to run. In fact, he didn't know where to run at all, he just kept running forward. As a result, he tripped over a dead branch and fell to the ground.
"Ugh--" Cassel didn't even dare to raise his head. He just grabbed the tentacles with both hands and covered his eyes. It was not until a strong wind blew past and he heard the skeleton man's screams behind him that he opened his eyes tremblingly.
Nie Wuhen pulled the man up and said, "You were staying in the room peacefully, why did you suddenly run away?"
"I didn't run. I don't know why I suddenly came here."
Cassel expressed his injustice. He stood up with the help of Nie Wuhen, but found that his ankle was in great pain - he could no longer move.
The roar of wild beasts could be heard from not far away and were gathering around. In the dark environment, white chrysanthemums suddenly bloomed all over the ground, emitting a faint light.
Bai Yi stood in front of the two of them, staring at the extra gluttonous beast in front of him, his face heavy, "Sure enough, she is colluding with the demons. The king of gluttonous beasts can actually bow down to her."
"Come up." Nie Wuhen squatted down and said with his back to Cassel, "Hurry up."
Bai Yi was a little surprised: "Senior Brother?"
Cassel's heart was pounding. He quickly leaned over, hugged Nie Wuhen's neck, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Nie Wuhen."
