At the banquet, everyone was reveling in the victory in the battle at Chunshi Mountain. Although they failed to force the Demon Emperor to proclaim himself a demon bone, it was still a dampener on his spirit. Presumably there will be no big fights on the Demon Emperor's side for the time being. action.
After the dinner, everyone left.
Only then did Bai Mengzhu have the opportunity to take a look at Bai Xingshuang. Lan Jin accompanied her, thinking about how to tell her about Bai Xingshuang's situation. After all, Bai Mengzhu was Bai Xingshuang's mother. When Bai Xingshuang woke up, she would behave in a certain way. She is very different from the original one. It is impossible for Bai Mengzhu not to notice it. If she becomes suspicious, it will probably make the spirit of resentment become vigilant.
Bai Mengzhu felt a little strange when he saw Lan Jin walking slowly and not saying a word along the way, so he couldn't help but turn to look at her.
Lan Jin seemed to be lowering her head and thinking about something along the way, and she didn't even notice that Bai Mengzhu turned around several times to check.
Bai Mengzhu only felt that something was fishy, so when the two of them walked through the corridor and came to a corridor covered with golden bamboos, she suddenly stopped and then looked back at Lan Jin behind her.
Lan Jin was shocked when she saw the Queen Mother suddenly stopped. The maid who was standing in front holding a lantern for the Queen Mother was also shocked. She stopped in a hurry, not daring to look up at the two of them.
Bai Mengzhu frowned slightly and looked at Lan Jin. She usually had a calm look on her face, but this time she came back with a frown on her face, which made people suspicious.
Bai Mengzhu asked her: "Lan Jin, do you have anything to say?"
"Queen Mother...I..." Lan Jin hesitated, feeling very embarrassed.
Bai Mengzhu seemed to realize that this matter was not a trivial matter, so he stretched out his hand to signal the maid standing aside to leave: "I have something to say with Commander Lan, please step aside first!"
"Yes!" The maid nodded, placed the lantern in her hand on the red railing, and then turned and left.
The dim light shone on the two of them, the golden bamboo behind them swayed gently in the wind, the sky was filled with stars, and the sky was close to Molan.
Lan Jin knelt down on one knee, saluted Bai Mengzhu and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"What are you guilty of?"
"As the guardian of the Fox King, I failed to protect her. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
"Are you talking about Xing Shuang? Lan Jin, tell me honestly what happened to Xing Shuang? Did something happen to her? No wonder I thought you were weird before..."
Only then did Lan Jin tell Bai Mengzhu everything exactly. When Bai Mengzhu heard this, he felt a chill running down his back, and he felt dizzy. He stood unsteadily and placed one hand on the red pillar beside him.
Lan Jin hurriedly stepped forward and helped her sit on the bench in the corridor. Bai Mengzhu calmed down for a while and then said:
"I'm really sorry for this child Xingshuang! In order to preserve the inheritance of the Fox King of the Jun family, I made her suffer a lot. Over the years, she has been working silently and made too many sacrifices, which is heartbreaking."
"I didn't know that she was entangled by the Soul of Resentment, but for her brother, for the safety of the Fox Clan, the Wolf Clan, and the Demon World City, she actually fought against the Demon King and the Snake Queen regardless of her own life and death. We are just a fox tribe!"
"How can he fight those big monsters? Even if it were Gu Cheng, he couldn't do it! For the sake of the peace of the monster clan, she almost died. How can I, a mother, not feel distressed? Not worried?"
"As soon as we left the boat that day, I knew that in the end, he could only rely on his sister for this matter. Even though I knew it was dangerous, I still asked him to find his sister... As a mother, I was really too kind to her. That’s cruel!”
As a mother, Bai Mengzhu feels deeply remorseful for what happened to Bai Xingshuang.
Lan Jin quickly comforted him: "Fortunately, Mr. Ye came to help in time this time. He has now sealed the demon soul of His Majesty Xingshuang. As long as we don't disturb the soul of resentment, once the soul-moving seal completes the energy conversion, , she will be fine, and not only that, she will also have more power than before!"
"A more powerful force than before?"
Lan Jin nodded: "Yes! But..."
"But what?"
Lan Jin plucked up the courage and said, "But then the demon bones in her body may not be able to withstand that powerful force!"
Bai Mengzhu's complexion changed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He heard someone behind him say: "Mother, my sister needs a suitable demon bone to withstand the demon power transformed from the soul of resentment. Otherwise, she will lose her life." Danger!"
Bai Mengzhu turned around and saw Jun Xingzhou coming supporting You Ying.
Jun Xingzhou was wearing a lavender purple-dyed fairy dress that was fluttering gently in the wind, while Youying was wearing a pink dress and a red forehead band on her head, emitting a faint light at night.
Bai Mengzhu nodded slowly and said, "I understand what you mean..."
"Mother--" Jun Xingzhou wanted to say something more, but Bai Mengzhu raised her hand to stop him. She turned to look at him, with tears in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "You... are his son. , you can’t say things like that..."
Jun Xingzhou frowned slightly and felt his heart twisting. He knew that he was stabbing Bai Mengzhu in the heart at this moment, but Bai Xingshuang was also her thorn in the side! One can imagine how painful she felt deep in her heart at this moment.
Bai Mengzhu has always been a decisive woman. Even if her husband dies, she can still support the entire fox clan. But now, her only spiritual sustenance is about to be destroyed, and the person she loves most in this life is about to leave her completely. How could she not be sad when the smoke disappeared?
But in order to save Bai Xingshuang, she had to nod and said: "Xingzhou, give your father's demon bone... to your sister!"
After Bai Mengzhu finished speaking, he turned and left just before crying. Under the dark corridor, her tears fell down drop by drop like gorgeous pearls. The wind gently blew her white dress, and she seemed like a white lotus blooming stubbornly in the dark night.
"Mother..." Jun Xingzhou clenched his hands into fists and pinched his fingers hard into his palms. His whole body trembled slightly. Finally, he lowered his hands and sighed.
Youying didn't understand what happened, and hurriedly asked Jun Xingzhou who was standing aside: "Xingzhou, why did you give your father's demon bones to your sister? The father's demon bones, together with the demon body, were sealed in the Spirit Gathering Ice Crystal. It has always been the most precious spiritual sustenance of the Queen Mother. Why should we take out the demon bones of our father properly? If so, then his frozen demon body... wouldn't it disappear into thin air?"
Bai Mengzhu had taken You Ying to meet Jun Gucheng in front of the Juling Ice Crystal before. Of course she understood Bai Mengzhu's deep love for her husband. How could he be so cruel to separate them completely?
Jun Xingzhou signaled Lan Jin to chase Bai Mengzhu, and then explained to Youying: "Youying, this matter is complicated. I will explain it to you in detail in the evening. Now I have to go see my sister first. You go back to the palace and wait. Me!"
Youying was confused: "Why don't you let me go to visit my sister? What happened to my sister Xingshuang?"
You Ying suddenly had a bad premonition, Jun Xingzhou shook his head, and then said: "This matter is difficult to explain in words. I will tell you when I come back. You go back first, and be careful on the road!"
After Jun Xingzhou finished speaking, he took off the lantern stuck on the railing and handed it into Youying's hands, and then walked into the dark night.
Youying stood there holding a lantern, frowning in confusion and feeling uneasy.
"Youying, what are you doing standing there?" After a while, a voice came from behind her.
He looked back and saw that the person approaching was his brother You Zang.
"Brother!" Youying couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw her brother, and asked Youzang: "Brother, something seems to have happened to sister Xingshuang? You must know if it's right, please tell me quickly!"
You Zang said: "Okay, I'll send you back first and then tell you about it!"
Youying nodded, but because she was worried about Bai Xingshuang, she couldn't help but ask again on the way. Youzangbian had no choice but to tell her about Bai Xingshuang being entangled with the spirit of resentment.
In the palace, Youying listened carefully to what her brother had to say, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the spirit of resentment could be so terrifying!"
Youzang couldn't help but frown and said: "On that day, Ziyue and I accidentally broke into the Valley of Evil Spirits, and that's why we incurred these evil debts. After careful calculation, it's all my responsibility for Bai Xingshuang to become like this!"
Youying said: "This time she became like this in order to save you. Our wolf tribe really owes her a lot!"
You Zang nodded, and then said: "That's right! On the battlefield, I lost to her several times. At that time, I was thinking about what kind of hard-hearted woman she was, and why she was so cold and terrifying. After I got After my father's demon bone, I even thought that I finally had a chance to defeat Bai Xingshuang... But I lost in the end and was saved by a woman several times. Now that I think about it, I really owe this Fox King a lot!"
Youying said: "Brother, do you think Mr. Ye's soul-moving seal is unreliable?"
You Zang said: "Ye Zhenfeng is a genius. If he can create this soul-moving seal, he will definitely succeed. But what I'm most worried about now is... can Bai Xingshuang find a suitable demon bone to match?"
Youying said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just now I heard my mother say that she is willing to give her the demon bones of Gucheng's father!"
You Zang nodded and said: "Looking at the world, only the demon bones of Jun Gucheng are suitable for her, but..."
"But what?"
"But the power of the Resentful Soul is terrifying. We have seen it in the Valley of Evil Spirits. At that time, we were almost completely wiped out. Even if Ye Zhenfeng thought of sealing the other half of the power in the spar sword, I'm afraid that After reshaping the demon bone, Bai Xingshuang may not be able to withstand the power of the Resentful Soul!"
Youying said: "Gucheng's father is not sister Xingshuang's biological father. Brother, your worries are not unreasonable. If they are related by blood, then the reshaped demon bone will be more stable."
You Zang nodded and said: "That's what I'm worried about. The reason why I was able to successfully fuse with my father's demon bone before is because we have a blood relationship. If there is no blood relationship, the power of the demon bone after reshaping will be lost." It has weakened, and there will be instability. In addition, Bai Xingshuang always has half of the human blood in her body. She is not an innocent demon, and the endurance of the demon bones will also be weakened..."
