Return to Beijing to marry
She crawled out from the pile of willow leaves, with the willow branches hanging down like her beautiful hair. She was pretty, with a very delicate and small face, and her posture could truly be described as "a weak willow supporting the wind".
From this perspective, Liu Fengjun seems a bit ignorant.
"Where is the town entrance?"
"I was letting you go for the sake of our old friendship and hinting at you to leave, but you refused to listen and barged into Qingshui Town again. Since you've died once, I'm not afraid of you."
As she spoke, the Willow Demon launched the attack first. Countless willow branches extended from behind her and lashed towards Yuanli, but Yuanli easily dodged her moves.
Seeing that his attacks repeatedly missed, the willow demon became more and more anxious and swung his branches more and more frequently. The willow branches that fell without hitting the target made crisp sounds on the ground, as loud as a whip hitting the floor.
When she became completely furious and stepped within two meters of Yuanli, the dark blue flames in the corner of the wall quickly surrounded the two of them in a circle.
The flames began to spin rapidly around them, forming a three-dimensional halo, so fast that the flames themselves could not be seen.
Yuanli took out two cloak wings from the silver bell, opened and closed her lips to chant a spell, and the two cloak wings spread out, one up and one down, and began to circle.
She held her breath, closed her eyes and watched the flickering light in front of her. As the light shrank into a dot, she stared at it until it transformed from the dot into an entire daytime street.
The hawking sounds beside my ears and the bustling crowds on the streets all intensify the reality of what is happening before my eyes.
Behind her, the fat lady hurriedly rushed towards the Liu family with a maid.
Yuanli followed the pace and walked through the tightly closed door. It was already dark. The maids coming and going in the yard all came out of that door carrying basins of blood.
I think this was the night when Willow Demon gave birth.
When she stepped into the delivery room, she saw the blood thread of the birth ghost connected to the fetus in her belly. However, her magic power was at its weakest when she gave birth, so she didn't notice the birth ghost at all.
Willow Monster was sweating profusely, and the fat lady beside her was wiping the sweat off her face with a distressed look on her face.
The fat lady angrily scolded, "Are you any good midwife? The young lady has been in labor for six hours and is almost exhausted. Why is there no sign of the baby?"
"Miss, this fetal position should be very easy to deliver, but for some reason, it just won't come out. I've been a midwife for half my life, and I've never seen anything so strange."
As everyone in the room was panicking and worried, the door of the delivery room was pushed open and Liu Fengjun walked in despite everyone's obstruction.
The Willow Demon on the bed said weakly, "Qinglang, get out quickly. It's bad luck for your future if a man enters the delivery room."
Upon hearing this, a servant stepped forward to stop him, but the man had a fierce look in his eyes and dismissed him before he could even open his mouth.
"Miss, please stop talking. The master of the family is so worried about you that he barged in without caring about anything. You should take good care of the baby in your belly."
After hearing what the fat lady said, Liu Yao's eyes were filled with happiness and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But in those eyes filled with happiness, Liu Fengjun walked towards her and sat beside her bed. He gently stroked her face and looked at her tenderly.
The next second, severe pain came, and the sound of the knife cutting flesh and blood could be faintly heard. The midwife who was bending over to deliver the baby was frightened to death.
The happiness in Liu Yao's eyes disappeared, replaced by disbelief, "Feng Jun, you..." She died before she could say what she wanted to say.
The blood dyed the quilt red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Liu Fengjun's hand, which was inserted into the quilt, kept moving. Everyone quickly guessed about 70% of what the servants had done, and several servants were frightened to faint.
"Pull back the quilt."
The frightened maid hesitated to move until Liu Fengjun tilted his head in displeasure and shouted loudly, "I told you to lift up all the quilts."
The maidservant's instinct for survival made her obey quickly. The blood flowed out, and Liu Yao's stomach had been cut open in half. Liu Fengjun was holding a dagger and busying himself in her abdomen.
Until he completely cut open her belly, Liu Fengjun stood up, bent down and took out a baby girl from her belly. The baby's cry filled the room, and she was still alive.
Liu Fengjun casually cut the umbilical cord and took the baby in his hands to examine it. What happened next frightened the maid to death.
Liu Fengjun used the dagger stained with Liu Yao's blood to cut open the baby's spine.
The baby's spine bones were soft and not fully grown, so he quickly broke off the excess bones and removed the spine.
There was no trace of guilt or remorse on his face, and his eyes were so cold as if she was not his own flesh and blood.
Seeing everything shaking like ripples on the water, the scene was wrinkled and stretched out, and the scene changed. The Willow Demon was resurrected and lying on the blood-stained bed.
She subconsciously touched the wound on her lower abdomen, and felt the roughness of the dried blood scab on her palm. The wound on her lower abdomen had recovered as before, and there was no scar left.
She tried to circulate her skills, and all her magic powers were there, but she was too weak, so weak that the white and tender skin on her arms had turned back into willow bark.
The willow demon found a place by the river, restored its true form and recuperated, hiding among dozens of ordinary willow trees.
Two years later, the Willow Demon fully recovered and left Qingshui Town. When she came back, she brought back a demon and trapped it on a boat on the river.
She used all her demonic power to isolate Qingshui Town from the outside world, causing it to repeat that specific day forever.
Coming out of the Willow Demon's dream, the cloak-winged wings caught fire in front of her, and eventually turned into ashes and disappeared.
The willow demon knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying. The willow leaves drooped with the change of her mood.
Yuanli looked at it coldly, her fingertips lightly touching the necklace given to her by Hades Cha Suxun on her neck. When her fingers moved away again, strands of silver starlight connected her fingers and the two ends of the necklace.
She used her fingertips as a pen to write in the air, and the moment her fingers stopped, the words disappeared.
She stepped out of the fire circle and passed through it without any injury. Instead, when she passed through it, three balls of ghost fire stood on her shoulders and head respectively.
As she passed by them, Yuanli slowed down her pace and said without opening her mouth, "Follow me closely."
After they had completely passed by them, the restraints on Qi Heng and Xiang Yao were automatically released.
Yuanli walked very quickly and hurried to the river. She pushed three balls of ghost fire to the surface of the river, and the boat appeared and slowly approached the shore.
The faces of the water people in the Qingshui River were awakened and floated to the surface, causing the river water to boil and bubble, and the wailing was so loud that it gave me a headache.
Yuanli took out all the starlight from the necklace and mixed it into the ghost fire she summoned. She chanted the mantra for rebirth, and the ghost fire instantly ignited the river surface and even the hull of the boat.
The water man roared in pain, and contrary to his usual behavior, he stood quietly at the bow, as if waiting for death to come.
The blazing fire on the water surface made the soft contours of her cheeks appear, and her slender and upright features were just as captivating as when he first saw her.
She walked towards him and whispered to him, "Heng, I don't want to live anymore. You don't have to worry about me anymore..."
Hearing this, Qi Heng burst into tears. He strode forward and hugged her tightly in his arms. He hugged her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
However, with such force, her weak body could clearly feel him.
Her vision began to blur, darkness invaded her eyes, everything condensed into dazzling points of light, her body gradually became uncontrollable, and she fell into the darkness with satisfaction.
When Yuanli woke up again, she was lying in a luxurious carriage. The interior decoration was similar to the previous small carriage, and it was big enough to accommodate a bed for her to sleep soundly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Qi Heng and Chi Xun rushed to the side of the bed and asked anxiously in unison: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Heng and Chi Xun looked haggard, their beards growing longer. The carriage curtains rustled in the breeze, and the scenery outside the window was vague and unfamiliar.
Facing her puzzled expression, Qi Heng seemed to have anticipated it and asked calmly, "What is your last memory of Qingshui Town?"
The only thing left in Yuanli's mind was seeing the grave mound in the west wing, the fat lady trying to stop her, and she seemed to have attacked her, but she could not remember anything after that.
"I saw a grave in that room." Yuanli shook her head, frowning in surprise, "I can't remember what happened afterwards. How did we escape? How long was I unconscious?"
"If you can't remember, then don't think about it. You've been unconscious for half a month since that vicious woman framed you." After answering Yuanli's question, Qi Heng turned his head and asked the carriage to stop.
"Change your clothes and come down. You've been lying down for a long time. It's time to get some fresh air and bask in the sun."
After the carriage stopped, Qi Heng got out first. When he pushed open the door, he turned around and gave Chi Xun a look.
"What did you two do while I was unconscious? Why do you seem so close?"
"I have no connection with that thief who competes for favor and love. We are not close friends, but I have no choice. If Ah Li could have some pity on me, please come back with me sooner..."
Seeing that he was acting more and more excitedly like a young wife with tears in her eyes, Yuanli quickly stretched out her hand to signal him to shut up and interrupt his "lines".
After changing her clothes, Yuanli lifted the curtains and peeked out the window. She saw that although the two kept a distance and blocked each other's existence, they did not confront each other.
As soon as she pushed open the door, two maids stood by the carriage, nodding respectfully. As soon as her right foot stepped on the riding stool, the maid next to her reached out and supported her.
"You and I are both serving the young master, so there is no need for you two girls to do this."
The maids knelt in fear and said, "No, it's different. The young lady is the master, of noble status, and this is what should be done."
"You are my personal servant, so naturally you are different from others. There is no need to belittle yourself. Come here."
Yuanli responded to his call and came to serve him, but he disregarded etiquette and pulled her to sit beside him, asked someone to bring her some porridge and side dishes, and carefully instructed her to do more work so that she would have the strength to work for him.
The capital of Western Xinjiang is a long way from Qingshui Town, Fengtu, and the journey takes a full month.
He should have arrived earlier, but he always had a thousand excuses, either that there was game somewhere or that the scenery was beautiful somewhere. He walked and stopped here and there, and his return date was extended by ten days.
A letter from home was delivered by express horse every three days, but he was never in a hurry. He did not delay any longer until two letters arrived at the same time.
I heard from the maid next to me that it should be a letter urging marriage.
