At that moment, when he saw that stubborn person, shock flashed across the Reliance Xiao's unperturbed face. The hand holding the silver whip trembled slightly, almost losing control of it … He …
He was actually struck by the whip!
Of course, he knew the power of this whip. It was a whip that contained eighty percent of his power … He also knew that if this whip landed on his body, if it wasn't for the protection of his inner force, he would have died on the spot. Even a person with powerful martial arts skills would be seriously injured from this whip, but … He did not move or make a sound!
Xin Cang Qu stared at her father with extreme indifference. She didn't hate him nor did she love him, she only calmly looked at him …
His eyes, which were as black as ink, were already a little dejected. However, in the face of this unfilial son of his, they could still emit the sharp glints of the past!
In just a short year's time, he seemed to have aged quite a bit …
"It's been so many years, why is my memory still so short …" Ye Qing sighed in the same way. It seemed to be asking the same question. However, that low and deep voice seemed to be talking to itself.
Those crimson eyes were unfathomably deep and serene, that demonic smile that seemed to be eternally undefeatable surfaced on Xin Cang Qu's face once more, "Your son and subject doesn't have a memory, royal father, you …" Isn't that the clearest? "
Even though he called that person his father, no one could tell that he was a father due to his emotionless and cold tone.
Xin Xiao didn't continue to ask this question. His eyes were as calm as autumn water. He asked in a similarly cold tone, "Why didn't you run away?"
When she heard this, Xin Cang Qu faintly pursed her lips and smiled, remaining silent.
"If you don't say it out loud, you must hate us from the bottom of your heart, right?!" Finally, the owl spoke again.
"No!" Xin Cang Qu lowered her eyes slightly, replying with a word coldly and straightforwardly.
"No?" When he heard these two words, he seemed to have exceeded the latter's expectations. "Why?"
"You are the monarch, and I am your subject! You are the father, and I am the son! " When Xin Cang Qu raised her gaze again, her eyes had already changed to a demonic glint from before, as she stared somewhat mischievously at the high and mighty Monarch … His own father … Suddenly, her lips curved up into a devilish smile as she spat out word by word, "How dare I hate you?"
"You don't dare, do you …" "Then why are you disobeying my orders year after year, risking your life to come back?"
"Father's problems today seem to be a bit numerous! "Could it be …" Xin Cang Qu's voice slowed down, but she still smiled and looked straight at him. However, that pale expression was so eye-piercing, and also so heart-wrenching … Following that, the distinct voice of a devil could be heard, "You want to chat with your son and your wife?"
Hearing the sound, the Daoist man's heart skipped a beat. He then realized that he had gone out of his mind today. He turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, and coldly said, "Scram!"
"Imperial Father, please take care. This son of yours has already scram!"
The devilish smile on her lips slowly spread outwards. Her ice-cold words did not carry a single thread of warmth, but her seemingly light and indifferent voice was extremely ear-piercing. By the time she finished speaking, the red figure had already disappeared into the night.
The cool night wind blew through the doors and windows, blowing away the tears in the corners of his eyes … The messenger owl slowly turned around and stared fixedly at the bloodstain on the ground …
That was his blood … It was also his blood!
After a long while, the figurehead suddenly broke out into a laugh. However, that extremely desolate, ridiculing and sorrowful laugh was even more unbearable than the sound just now.
"Lanruo …" "He's really too much like you, especially when he's so stubborn. He's exactly the same as you …"
The raving sound lingered in the empty hall for a moment before disappearing into the night along with the red figure.
"..."
The imperial mausoleum of the Heavenly Trust Country was on the eastern outskirts of the city. In fact, if one wanted to worship Orchid Ore Temple, it wasn't necessary to go there.
However … He still went! He knew that person would treat him like this, but he still went!
By the time Xin Cang Que arrived at the Royal Tomb, the time of the new era had already passed.
Even though he was severely injured, he walked with extreme lightness and steadiness, as if he was worried that the slightest disturbance would startle the person sleeping inside.
The red shadow quickly entered the underground palace.
In that incomparably dark underground world, even the brightest and most luxurious decorations couldn't cover up this endless desolation and desolation.
Xin Cang Qu walked all the way to the end of the path, and looked at the tightly shut bronze door and the beast head, Ouroboros Clan, hanging on the door.
Tonight was a bit special. There was no one here, not even a gatekeeper!
Could it be that that person knew he was coming and sent everyone away to make things easier for him? But... It seemed impossible. Just based on that whip strike just now, why would he consider such things for himself! In that case, someone must have transferred the guardian away, and this person … It should be his big cousin Baili Qing.
Gently walking forward, he waved his fan and opened the bronze door wide. He then continued moving forward, going inwards until there was no more road before he reached the memorial grave.
His gaze moved past the Linlang Pearl Jade and landed on the painting beside him … He took a step forward and looked deeply at the portrait of the lady …
Her crimson eyes shone with a gentleness that she had never felt before. That warmth, that softness, that beauty … That was something that he had never even seen before!
Those scorching and peaceful eyes … He was like someone who hadn't returned home in a long time, returning to his home …
The woman in the portrait was also the most beautiful person in the world in that pair of crimson eyes!
The woman who looked like a fifth god to him was none other than the red-faced Empress Dowager of the Heavenly Trust Nation, his mother!
Xin Cang Qu slowly raised her hand and gently touched the painting, as though she was holding her mother's hand …
Time slowly flowed back …
That elegant and noble woman was still lying quietly on the phoenix couch. Although her face was sickly, it was still unable to cover up her absolute beauty … It was the exact same face as the person in the painting.
In addition, the guard by the side of the bed was a youngster in his teens. He was a youngster with red hair, red eyebrows, and red eyes.
The youth tightly held onto the woman's hand, as if he was worried that if he let go, the person would vanish into thin air. That kind of obedient appearance was extremely pleasing, but that nervous expression made one's heart ache.
"Ku, mother knows that her time is running out … There are some things that should be said in advance. "
"NO!" Queen Mother, no! Ah Qu will learn medicine from Old Man You and will definitely cure you! "
"Mother's illness... "I can't cure it anymore …"
"That won't happen!" Queen Mother, no! "You must believe Ah Qu!"
"Foolish child, have you forgotten what your mother told you?"
"Ah Qu did not forget! I won't forget it for the rest of my life! "
"Ah Qu, strong people shouldn't have weak points!"
"Queen Mother, Ah Qu understands, but …" Even if Queen Mother really becomes A-Qu's weakness, A-Qu can still protect her! "
"Ah Qu, mother's ability to accompany you to this day is already the greatest limit. During these ten years, if it wasn't for Big Brother Domain being by our side, mother would have probably died long ago."
"Queen Mother!" No! Ah Qu, you are not allowed to leave! "No..."
"Child, when you are able to see through life and death, perhaps you will no longer need your mother to be afraid for you."
"Muhou …"
"A Qu, remember, when mother dies, you must bring mother to the Burning Fire Cave and burn her into ashes, then sprinkle her there!"
"Muhou …" A'Kui couldn't bear to part with it... "I can't see through it …"
"All these years, Imperial Mother has always wanted to know just what sort of trials and tribulations you have gone through in the Flame Cavern …" "This way, mother will be able to accompany you when you're enduring that pain in the future …"
"Muhou …"
"Ah Qu, Mother still wants you to agree …" No matter what, do not hate your royal father! "
"Muhou …" No matter what he did to A-Qu, A-Qu didn't blame him, but … A'Qu will not tolerate... I can't bear for him to let down the Queen Mother! "
"Ah Qu, Imperial Mother has never begged anyone before. This time, I can be considered to be begging you …" Take good care of your royal father... Otherwise... The Queen Mother died with grievance! "
"..."
His thoughts turned and he looked at the person in the drawing again clearly. Xin Cang Qu suddenly curled her lips and laughed softly. The gentleness from before disappeared in an instant and was replaced by an endless chilliness … Endless chills.
"Muhou …" You said you never begged anyone, but you begged Ku for that person … As for him … Is it really worth it for you to treat me like that? "
"These past few years, A-Qu actually doesn't owe him anything anymore …" "But A-Qu owes you …"
"A-Qu, I know you love A-Qu …" But I also know that you love him more! "
"Muhou …" Forget it, Ah Qu will tell you something interesting. "
"A Qu has found that person …" It was a … "A very special person!"
"They all say... "He's very similar to Ah Qu …"
"And …"
"…"
By the time Xin Cang Qu left the Royal Tomb, the Hai time was almost over. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. There was no expression on his face. He seemed to be deep in thought, yet it seemed as if he was waiting for something.
The cool night wind lifted up the fiery red clothes and the fiery red hair, causing that beautiful Young Master to appear like a beautiful flower blooming in the dark night.
"Are you hurt?"
An extremely devilishly charming voice suddenly resounded in his ears. That tone of gloating did not require any guessing to know who it was.
"Nonsense!" Xin Cang Qu cast a glance at the slowly approaching Kunlun before coldly replying with these two words, and then proceeded to walk away on his own.
Kunlun was not angered by his words either. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed him forward as he continued, "The Lord of the Heavens has invited This King here. It can't be... I want this king to let you know that you are injured, and then send you on your way so that you can quickly meet your mother, right? "
These words were really poisonous!
Xin Cang's scarlet eyes flickered with intense flames as he stared at Shi Yan. His face had become extremely pale due to his injuries. His appearance made people think about him even more — a blood-thirsty demon.
