When the light came into view again, Li Nanke found himself back in the dark red desert.
The woman in black disappeared.
He probably took the opportunity to run away.
"Are you okay?" Helan Xiaoxiao's delicate and beautiful face, like bone china, appeared in front of the man, with concern in his eyes.
Li Nanke shook his head, looked around and asked, "You saved me? Where's the black hole monster?"
"I was eaten." The woman touched her belly.
"ah?"
Li Nanke was stunned and looked at the woman with strange eyes, "Have you eaten?"
"yes."
Helan Xiaoxiao had a normal expression, as if this was nothing unusual, and said, "It didn't catch me, it just kept floating there like a dark marshmallow. I don't know how to save you, so I just let it go." Eat a little, and then you will be rescued by me."
this……
Li Nanke opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Sister, you are the real red rain monster, the big boss.
"Have you seen the woman in black?"
Li Nanke asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "No, you are the only one coming out."
"That's waking up."
Li Nanke rubbed his eyebrows, secretly thinking it was a pity.
I didn’t force him to find out the other party’s true identity, but maybe he could figure it out in the real world.
But the strange thing is, why is the woman awake, but he is still wandering in the red rain world? Is it possible that there is really no way to return to the real world?
Li Nanke was worried and uneasy.
For now, we can only leave this mysterious island and return to the wedding room.
"By the way, I found a stone statue."
Helan Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something. She took Li Nanke with her little hand and led the man over a nearby desert hill. Pointing to the deep pit buried by the yellow sand, he said, "Look, that's where it is."
Li Nanke took a closer look and saw that light brown stones were indeed revealed among the yellow sand.
It was obviously a buried stone statue.
And this deep pit should have been left when the monster appeared.
Li Nanke walked to the pit and pushed aside the yellow sand covering the statues. After a few minutes, the stone statues of a pair of little girls were completely revealed.
"Sisters Yuan Zhenzhen and Yuan Xixi?"
Looking at the familiar appearance of the statue, Li Nanke frowned, extremely surprised.
I remember that when he first landed on the island, he discovered the murals of the Yuan sisters in the curtain cave. Now that I see the statue, I am even more convinced that these two sisters are not simple.
"A pair of sisters who were born and lived in the real world actually have their statues in the world of Red Rain? It's really strange."
Li Nanke rubbed the warm stone statue with his fingers and fell into thinking.
Chu Yunxin, the prefect's wife, had said at the beginning that these two sisters were not ordinary people. The prefect Yuan Changxu was not too sad about his daughter's death.
All of them indicate that there is a ghost among them.
"Huh? There's something else."
Helan Xiaoxiao dug into the yellow sand a few times with his hands and suddenly made a sound of surprise.
Li Nanke turned around and saw a woman digging out an object similar to a lotus lantern from the sand pit.
The lotus lantern is made of stone and soil, with many cracks on it.
There is still a missing piece on the side.
At the bottom of the lotus lantern, there are densely engraved lines of tadpole-like small characters, which are basically the same as the fonts on the stone tablet that Li Nanke once saw.
But this time, he could recognize some of them.
"Lotus fetus?"
Li Nanke struggled to identify the words on it, and his expression became intriguing after reading it carefully.
According to records in the text, a life form called "Lotus Fetus" was once nurtured here. It is formed by the slow condensation of red rain energy.
There will be two fruits produced in the lotus womb.
The two fruits will mature in sequence, and eventually break away from their mother's body and become a pair of sisters, becoming monsters in the world of Red Rain.
Seeing this, Li Nanke basically deduced the inside story of the Yuan sisters.
When the Supreme Emperor sent people into Hongyu, he probably accidentally discovered the lotus fetus here, so he took the two fruits back to the real world and asked Mrs. Yuan to take them.
The purpose is to give birth to the life forms of the Red Rain World in the real world.
Therefore, the two children born to Mrs. Yuan are themselves red rain monsters.
As for why Bai Yaoquan chose to conduct experiments on Mrs. Yuan, it is probably because the latter has a special physique.
Mrs. Yuan died after giving birth to her second daughter Yuan Xixi. Chu Yunxin, who looked the same as her, became the stepmother of the two children under the arrangement of the underworld.
Why does the underworld do this?
As Chu Yunxin once said, the Yuan sisters cannot live without their mother.
Because the lotus fetus has a strong dependence on the mother's body, with the mother's presence, the two girls can suppress the red rain energy in the body and avoid turning into monsters.
Once they lose their mother, the two women will inevitably lose control.
Mrs. Yuan died, so the underworld had to find a replacement.
Chu Yunxin, who looks similar, is the choice.
"Let human beings give birth to red rain life, let red rain give birth to human beings... What on earth is the Supreme Emperor trying to do with such nonsense? Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?"
Looking back on Princess Shanyun's birth experience, all of them illustrate Bai Yaoquan's madness.
This guy is really crazy!
Li Nanke cursed secretly.
After searching the surroundings and finding no other valuable clues, Li Nanke took He Lan Xiaoxiao to find a way back to the wedding room.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally arrived at the border of the desert.
The border is a bright blue barrier.
This barrier is boundless, as if it divides the world into two halves.
When the two people passed through the barrier, they instantly returned to the familiar curtain hole.
Feeling the refreshing coolness in the air, Helan Xiaoxiao patted her chest and complained, "The desert is really not a place for people. When the wind blows, your mouth will be full of sand. I will never go there again."
Li Nanke agreed.
He looked towards the jasper ice bed deep in the curtain cave.
It was empty, and there was no sleeping beauty with whom he had been intimate.
After the "entanglement" with the woman in black, Li Nanke had a feeling that the stunning beauty who used to sleep on the ice bed was most likely real.
I just don’t know what my identity is in reality.
Judging from her temperament, she should be a noble lady.
"Oh, I have a headache. Why do I feel that as long as I come to this red rain world, I will be blessed endlessly. Madam, Madam, I'm so sorry."
Li Nanke was a little helpless.
Of course I can't blame him.
Because his thoughts have been eroded by the world of Hongyu, being intimate with other women is definitely not out of intention, it is completely out of necessity.
Li Nanke could only comfort himself in this way.
I believe my wife will understand.
———
"I don't understand!"
Seeing that the mistress was still defending her nominal "husband" and did not even tell him his current address, Luo Qianqiu was angry and refused to argue.
"Why can't you live a life for yourself! Do you just want to live in such a muddle for the rest of your life?"
“Where can I go after leaving Linggu?”
Gu Ying looked down at the ripples in the pond with a bitter expression. A few strands of hair fell from her temples and forehead, covering her somewhat sad eyes.
Luo Qianqiu opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer.
Looking at the lonely figure of the mistress abandoned in the world like a withered leaf, Luo Qianqiu bit her pink lips and suddenly said: "Stay here and live with us."
"Marry your husband as a concubine?" Gu Ying joked.
"of course not!"
Luo Qianqiu quickly objected.
Are you kidding? She has never thought about serving the same husband as her mistress. Such a ridiculous thing will never happen.
"Then what am I doing here?"
"...You can accompany me." Luo Qianqiu tried her best to find reasons, "My husband is very busy outside. It would be better to have someone at home to accompany me."
Gu Ying smiled and said nothing.
After a while, she said quietly: "If I stay with you, that person will be even less likely to let you and me go."
"I'm not afraid, I-"
"Qiu'er, do you know what my purpose is in coming to Yuncheng?"
Gu Ying interrupted the woman's words and asked softly.
Luo Qianqiu shook her head and noticed a teardrop hanging on Master's face. She said softly: "Master doesn't want to say anything, so naturally Qiu'er won't ask any more questions."
"I don't say it, not because I don't trust you, but..."
Gu Ying took a deep breath and pinched her slender fingers in her sleeves until her knuckles turned slightly green.
She tried to calm down her emotions and said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, I am here to find an enemy, a beast who defiled me two years ago!"
What! ?
The other party's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Luo Qianqiu, who usually looked indifferent, to lose his temper in a rare manner, with shock and disbelief on his face.
The master's wife has been defiled?
This...how is this possible!
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
Gu Ying sighed softly, her self-deprecating smile a little bitter.
"Do you still remember the time two years ago when you decided to leave Linggu? At that time, I took your ghost gun and came to Phoenix Mountain outside Yuncheng to kidnap someone."
Gu Ying closed her eyes and recounted the dark experience deep in her memory, "That person is the second daughter of Anping Wang Bai Yaoming, Bai Fenghuang."
