Qing Ling used to wake up at midnight every day, at most two hours. Sometimes, when her mental power is weak, she can't even last for the time it takes to burn an incense stick; however, last night, we dual cultivated, so she was completely awake for an entire night. From midnight to dawn, she was full of anger and energy … Thus, from the current situation, dual cultivation should be even more helpful to the demons.
I sighed and withdrew my Qi and turned back to gaze at Qing Ling … This guy was really tired last night. He had been working all night and it was already late in the morning, so there were no signs of him waking up.
However, it's fine if he doesn't wake up. I'm really afraid that he will turn into a demon lord the moment he wakes up. So now, while he's asleep, I have to hurry and do what I need to do!
I stealthily grabbed the exit token from Qing Ling's side (I saw him use it when I left the palace last night), then I carefully hid the Soul-Returning Water and followed the map that Yuan Yuan had given me and quietly left the palace!
I need to find Master and give him the Soul-Returning Water as soon as possible so as to prevent the Infernal King from waking up and creating new problems. Also, I need to interrogate that bastard Yao Yuan … Why are you giving me aphrodisiacs and telling me it's just knockout drugs? Luckily, the Infernal King transformed from Qing Ling. Otherwise, wouldn't I have suffered a huge loss last night?
Because I didn't have a good impression of Yuanyuan, I didn't dare to wear the crystal bracelet that he gave me.
The inn was heavily guarded, and as my demonic aura leaked out, I was quickly stopped by the soldiers guarding the door and informed Master!
Xuan Yue put down the work she was doing, and hurriedly came over to welcome me, asking me with a stern face: "Shi'er, why did you come to the Demon World?!"
I smiled ingratiatingly. "Master, long time no see …"
His master looked around at the surprised heavenly soldiers and said, "Follow me into the house quickly!"
He was actually very protective of his own shortcomings. Even though he was extremely furious about me coming to the demon realm on my own, he didn't want to show it in front of outsiders! That's what I like about him...
Seeing his ice-cold face and body covered in cold air, I couldn't help but think back to Yuan Yuan Yuan's earlier worries … He said that although Xuan Yue didn't look the same on the surface, she was more strict with others and more lenient with herself … ( Hey, Yuanyuan, what nonsense are you creating!) However, he has always been very cautious about the matters of the Demon World. If he finds out that you stole the Soul-Returning Water from the Demon Palace, he would definitely refuse to use it and ask you to return it!
Looking at his Master's expression, I feel that although Yuanyuan is a bit two-faced, he has a very accurate understanding of this point! So, if he knew that I had come to send him the soul-water, he would have said that it was not the big stick that would knock me out, and then take me with the soul-water to personally ask for punishment!
This won't do. I have to use my own methods to deal with such a stubborn and handsome deity!
Therefore, when the little immortal boy came to prepare tea for us, I immediately took over the task and said to my master, "Master, I've recently learned some tea arts, should I help you prepare the tea?"
Xuan Yue was still angry, so she coldly snorted but didn't reply.
He waved them away, and we were alone in the huge room.
I quickly make tea, and I do it well... This was taught to me by Qing Ling N years ago. At that time, I was secretly in love with Xuan Yue, and in order to help me pursue him, Qing Ling decided to raise me into a dignified and virtuous lady, to replace the position that Wu Yue held in Xuan Yue's heart. Now that he thought about it, it truly was a turning point of Feng Shui. He sighed with emotion …
Xuan Yue coldly said, "Don't think that just because you did this, you can please me … Say, why did you come to the Devil? How did you get here? Didn't I already say that you can't get involved blindly?! "
I held the tea that had been brewed and passed it over with both hands before giggling and saying, "I will engrave Master's teachings on my heart and will not dare to forget it. However, Master, this time, Ying'er came to the Demon World not for Master, but for Qing Ling … Master doesn't know that Qing Ling is in the Demon World? "
I immediately pointed out Qing Ling's identity, causing Xuan Yue's expression to change.
As expected, he already knew that the Infernal King was Qing Ling! Could it be that this was the reason why he had always been so adamant about peace between the two realms?
Xuan Yue took the tea and took a sniff, but her mind was obviously not on the tea. She actually didn't even manage to sniff out the smell of the Soul-Returning Water. "Oh? "You know about her?"
I replied, "I was with Qing Ling last night."
Xuan Yue was even more shocked than before, "Last night? A whole night?! "
I lightly nodded. Xuan Yue dejectedly said with a complicated expression, "In that case, you already know about it!"
I lamented, "Master, Qing Ling came to the Demon World a long time ago. Why do you have to keep hiding this from me?"
Xuan Yue hesitated for a long time before saying: "I'm hiding this from you because I'm afraid that you'll mess around if you find out the truth. After all, Qing Ling entered the Devil Dao in your place in order to save you …" It's a pity that he was attacked by the Demons of Desire and had fallen into the Demonic World. Even though I am an exalted immortal of Heaven Realm and his senior brother, I have never been able to save him.
The more Xuan Yue spoke, the more she blamed herself. Her slender phoenix eyes drooped and her face was filled with regret. After I heard his words, my ears buzzed … Qing Ling entered the Path of Demon in my place?! Why did he never mention this to me?! I only know that he was lured to save me. What is wrong with replacing me?
"Master, how did Qing Ling end up in the Devil Dao? Do you still want to hide the truth? "Please tell me about the events of that day in detail!" I begged.
Xuan Yue took a sip of tea with an uneasy expression. Her eyes lit up as she praised, "Good tea!"
And then he started telling me all about what happened a hundred years ago...
Of course, tea was good tea. With the addition of Soul-Returning Water, how could it not be fragrant?
It seems that my plan was about to succeed. Master finally drank the Soul-Returning Water without realizing it.
Listening to Master's explanation, I just realized … It turned out that back then, I was the one who was going to die with the Devil, and the Elders of the Evergreen Sect were already prepared to sacrifice me. But Qing Ling was not willing, in order to save me, he forced his way into the formation, using his own body to save me.
Qing Ling has never told me about this. Was she afraid that I would feel guilty?
Why was he so thoughtful about everything for me?
I did my best to suppress the impulse in my heart as I asked Xuan Yue, "Master was not at Evergreen Mountain back then, so how did you know so much about this matter?"
Xuan Yue replied, "That year, after Qing Ling died, the Sect Leader once wrote a book to me, secretly discussing how to save Qing Ling."
I said, "So, you guys have been keeping the matter of Qing Ling's bedevilment a secret from the public, right?"
Xuan Yue nodded.
I asked, "So did you find a way to save them?"
Xuan Yue sighed regretfully, "Demons of desire have taken over his body. Moreover, it has already been reborn once. Under such circumstances, the external force is no longer able to be resolved. Qing Ling can only rely on her own will to resist …"
Indeed, that was what Qing Ling had said. He had told me not to act rashly and that I simply could not help him. He could only rely on himself.
I became gloomy. "Then how long do I think it will take for Qing Ling to defeat the Devil's Lust and fully recover her original body?"
Xuan Yue replied: "With his talent and willpower, after three hundred years, he might be able to suppress the Devil's lusts … However, it was almost impossible to completely remove the Demonic Qi from his body! At most, he could just suppress it and make it fall into a deep sleep … This is the best outcome that can be foreseen! "
