Bai Yi was originally going to seduce Zhu Yuanyu that night, but she wouldn't be able to do it after seeing his appearance. He looked so much like her brother.
She still remembered that when she was a child, her frail and sickly brother was lying on the bed. His thin body was like fragile porcelain, but his fleshless face had a pair of big eyes with extremely dark pupils.
When taking care of her younger brother, Bai Yi found that her younger brother was always looking at one place. Following his gaze, she saw a sugar bowl on the cabinet. It was given as a gift during the Chinese New Year and it was already empty.
Bai Yi knew that his brother wanted to eat sweets.
But my family is not rich either, so I can't afford sweets.
The younger brother also knew the situation at home, so he never said anything. If Bai Yi hadn't discovered it through observation, no one would have known about it.
Bai Yi is a sister who loves her younger brother very much. Once, while her father was out hunting, she took a chicken raised at home and exchanged it for candy. Although it was not much, her younger brother was very happy to eat it.
She still remembers her brother's sweet smile at that time...
Unfortunately, my brother died not long after that.
Looking at Zhu Yuanyu not far away, Bai Yi's eyes were full of nostalgia. Now she had many thoughts in her mind, but in the end she decided to follow her truest thoughts——
She wanted her brother to live.
Yes, she knew that the man in front of her was not her brother, but for no reason, she just wanted him to live, even if it meant living in place of her poor brother...
Bai Yi planned to help Zhu Yuanyu and the others get out of this man-eating mansion at the expense of themselves, just like Hongtang, as far away as possible.
In fact, Qingzhu is already at the end of his strength. His biggest reliance has been defeated by Zhu Yuanyu, and even the most loyal Hongtang is dead. Zhu Yuanyu has not revealed his trump card yet. If nothing unexpected happens, the winner will be decided soon.
But Bai Yi didn't know that the murderous Qingzhu in her heart was a terrifying monster, but Zhu Yuanyu was a flesh and blood demon. Even if he knew some magic, how could he defeat Qingzhu.
Even though she had been lucky enough to escape the previous few times, she was very aware of Qingzhu's ruthlessness. If she guessed correctly, Hongtang's death might not bring back Qingzhu's conscience, and it might even inspire his ferocity. .
Bai Yi guessed right. Seeing Hongtang die in front of him, Qingzhu felt regret for a moment, but soon he sorted out his agitated mood and hated Zhu Yuanyu even more.
Everything happened in an instant, Qingzhu launched an attack, and rushed towards Zhu Yuanyu with a posture that seemed to destroy the world; Bai Yi turned around to block, and his whole body was like a painting soaked in water, slowly... It lost its color and became transparent, and fell to the ground dying.
Zhu Yuanyu was a little confused.
He didn't understand why Bai Yi turned around to save him.
Qingzhu concentrated all his mana on this killing move, and now he is unable to fight back. He looked at Bai Yi, his eyes full of complex expressions such as hatred, disbelief, and understanding.
"You still chose to betray me."
Bai Yi was silent. After thinking about it, she said softly: "I just hope you let them go."
"I let them go, so how could God let me go?" Qingzhu gritted his teeth.
"Now is the time when the human race is prosperous. God has given all the blessings to the human race. How difficult it is for the demon race to open up spiritual wisdom and cultivate human life! I just ate spiritual things by chance, but God gave me the most My beloved spouse has been taken away! I just want her to be resurrected again, so what’s wrong with that? I don’t accept it——!!!”
Speaking of his excitement, Lord Qing looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, his eyes turning red.
Even Zhu Yuanyu knew that the other party wanted to kill him, but he was still moved by it. Without him, simply because every word he said was full of dissatisfaction with God's injustice. He was sad and angry but helpless.
After Qingzhu vented all the long-buried pain and resentment in his heart, he fell slumped, but his hands were still firmly supporting the ground, fixed there like a sculpture.
Bai Yi felt sad. She wanted to walk over, but she had no strength anymore. She knew that she was about to disappear...
Although the other party was no longer able to fight anymore, Zhu Yuanyu was not happy about this ending. On the contrary, he was a little tangled and complicated in his heart.
Hateful people must be pitiful, and it must be people like Qingzhu.
His hands were stained with blood, but it was just to resurrect his beloved couple. However, the price paid for this wish is too heavy, so heavy that no one can bear it, because life is priceless.
Zhu Yuanyu left the mansion with Qi Ao and Cui'er. Probably because Qingzhu's power was exhausted, the gorgeous mansion that was originally supported by magic instantly turned into a dilapidated mansion covered with cobwebs and dust.
Looking at the weeds in front of the gate, Zhu Yuanyu sighed softly and said to the two of them: "Let's go."
Qi Ao asked in a deep voice: "Ignore them?"
"Don't worry about it. He committed too many crimes. If he doesn't work hard to change..." Zhu Yuanyu didn't say the next words, but Qi Ao understood.
Cui'er hesitated: "Then, where is that female... ghost?"
Zhu Yuanyu lowered his eyes, "It will probably... dissipate."
"Ah..." Cui'er covered her mouth, her nose suddenly felt a little sour, and her eye circles suddenly became moist because she couldn't hold it in. In fact, she also guessed it, but she just didn't want to believe it...
"They are so pitiful..." Cui'er sobbed, feeling a little depressed, and murmured.
Zhu Yuanyu heard it and remained silent.
Yes, it's very pitiful, but in this world, you can't do whatever you want because of your pity, and God is watching.
No matter you are a human or a demon, you cannot break out of the prescribed box. Once you break out, you have to take responsibility for your own actions.
Just one thought, heaven and hell.
…
In the morning, Zhu Yuanyu and the others left the city, and the scenery outside the city had returned to normal.
Cui'er wondered: "How did that demon turn the scenery outside the city into that?"
Zhu Yuanyu didn't know either, thinking that it was probably some kind of magical power possessed by Lord Qing.
When they reached the previous hilltop, they didn't "beat the wall" again this time and went out smoothly.
After the carriage walked out of the hill for a while, Zhu Yuanyu turned around with some feeling and looked at the hill he just passed through in confusion.
Qi Ao asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yuanyu shook his head: "It's nothing." Whether it was an illusion or not, it was none of his business anyway.
Out of their sight, on a distant hilltop, a mushroom the size of a fist suddenly emerged from the soil.
This mushroom is golden, and when it appears, all the animals in the surrounding area seem to feel something.
Mushrooms exude a seductive aura.
——Eat me, and you can unlock your wisdom after eating it.
The first one to arrive was a big black python. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the mushroom in one bite. Then, the big python rolled on the ground in pain, and finally fainted.
In the distant horizon, a dark cloud slowly drifted in and slowly expanded, and thunder could be faintly seen flashing and rolling in the thick clouds.
Zhu Yuanyu looked at the sky and murmured: "It's going to thunder."
