Chapter Seventeen
"Mo Sheng..." A weak voice came from Xiaolu's mouth, and Nalan hugged her even more tightly.
"I'm here."
"Mo Sheng, I... like you so much... I want to... stay with you forever in the forest of depression, always... together... How great would it be if you could... like me like Yin Luo?"
Xiaolu raised her head slightly and looked at Nalan in a daze, with a smile on her face, but the smile seemed to come from a very distant place, too confused.
Xiaolu's face seemed to have a layer of blood, but my tears couldn't help but flow out, which was probably the last moment of rejuvenation. A faint golden light began to flash around her body, and her whole body became illusory. I held her hand tightly, as if this would capture her life that was about to be exhausted.
"Naran..." In a trance, she still called this name. Perhaps I don't know how deep, thick, and unforgettable love she seems to be in her heart. She loves so simple, but so difficult and so entangled.
"Xiaolu, don't sleep. Look, the sun has come out. Don't you like sunbathing the most? Get up and take a look..."
She was still looking at Nalan, but her eyes gradually lost their luster closed little by little, as if they were almost exhausted to open their eyes to see the person she loved the most. I shook her hand, thinking about dragging her back, or just trying to keep her. But her hands became colder and softer, as if they would melt if they tried harder. The rising sun shook her face, but could only print her paler face. The blood color that just now appeared was instantly pulled away, as if the soul was pulled away.
At this moment, a muffled sound was made in the direction where Zhifan was, and only he heard Zhifan's pain in pain, as if something was bursting in her body. I turned to look at her. The monsters around her had completely disappeared, and black air was emitting all over her body. I instantly understood that she was using the Cang Rong Sword to suck all these monsters into her body. It seemed that she had made up her mind to become a demon. But this sudden powerful demonic energy was fighting against her fairy spirit in her body, which made her extremely painful. She kept looking in our direction, her eyes were firm and painful, but she was extremely eager. She began to activate the power in her body with difficulty, as if she wanted to take something from Xiaolu.
There was a sudden slight fluctuation in my heart. When I recalled what she said just now, I continued to hold Xiaolu's hand with one hand, which had almost no strength, but grabbed Xiaolu's other hand with the other hand. Sure enough, a bead with a charming red was holding in Xiaolu's hand. Demon spirit, without the demon spirit, Zhifeng could not become a demon. I gently spread Xiaolu's fingers, took out the beads, and looked at the Zhifeng who was almost looking at it.
"Do you want it?"
Zhifen's expression was ferocious, staring straight at the demon spirit in my hand, and nodding with difficulty.
"Since you want to become a demon, leave your fairy spirit to Xiaolu."
Nalan suddenly looked up at me, as if he understood what I meant. He carefully placed Xiaolu on the ground and stood up, with a silver spear tightly in his hand. Now, this is no longer a transaction, but a threat.
According to my speculation, if a person wants to remove his original true energy and become a demon race that is stronger than other races, he will inevitably have to be reborn, endure great pain, and pay the due price. Now the fairy spirit in Zhifen's body is fighting against the demon energy. If this continues, her fairy spirit will inevitably be destroyed. If the help of the demon spirit is added, she can take off the fairy body and then become a demon. But if the fairy spirit consumes too much demon energy, with her remaining spiritual power, she may not only not become a demon, but will lose her life. This is the effect of the demon spirit.
The immortal spirit is different from the true energy of other races. It is not like the true energy of a demon and the soul of a mortal, and can be forced out of the body by itself to complete the process of becoming a demon. Moreover, once the immortal spirit is taken out, the immortal race will almost lose all its spiritual power and cannot even maintain its body. Therefore, Zhifan thought of sucking the demon spirit's demon energy, allowing the demon energy to destroy the fairy spirit, and then using the remaining demon energy to maintain its body shape, and finally using the demon spirit to become a demon. Those demon monsters with humble power follow the direction of the demon spirit and originally wanted to use the power of the demon spirit to mingle into the demon realm, but this time they became a demon, and they could only lose their lives in vain.
Since Zhifan said that Xiaolu is also a flower fairy, as long as there is a fairy, she can continue to live. Instead of letting Zhifan's fairy be destroyed by the demonic energy, it is better to take it out and give it to Xiaolu.
If you want to get the fairy spirit of Zhifen, you can only help others. My body is poisonous and I can't activate spiritual power. Nalan naturally understood my thoughts, so he could only do it.
"Forget it, she is also one of the few descendants of the immortal clan, so you can take it. But, give me the demon spirit!"
Zhifan's expression became more and more distorted, and her pain was escalating. It seems that her fairy power should not be underestimated. After all, she is the daughter of the king of the Flower Fairy Kingdom.
I signaled to Nalan, then plucked up my strength and threw out the demon spirit in the direction of Zhifen. When the red bead touched Zhifen's hand, Nalan also soared into the air. His silver spear drew a circle in the air, and the blue spiritual light entrenched. Nalan pulled back the silver spear, and activated powerful spiritual power with his other hand. A light suddenly shot out from the middle of the circle, thinking about the direction of Zhifen. Zhifen's pain gradually escalated, and she gasped, but seemed to be catering to the light, because she knew that the sooner the fairy spirit came out of her body, the sooner she would be able to get relief.
In an instant, the light mixed with the demonic energy around Zhifeng, and Nalan's face gradually became solemn. It seemed that Zhifeng's fairy power was still very strong. Finally, Zhifeng shouted, and the end of the light suddenly became brighter. I held Yun Jin with one hand and leaned forward towards Nalan. That was Zhifeng's fairy spirit.
After Xianling left Zhifeng's body, her face turned extremely pale, but her expression became much relieved. Now, only the demonic energy of those monsters was left in her body.
Nalan waved the silver spear again, and in an instant, the fairy spirit that was like a illusion fog but flashed with light was already held in his hand by him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Quickly...to cross into Xiaolu's body."
Nalan quickly retreated to Xiaolu's side, carefully raised her head, and slowly immersed the fairy spirit into her skin from the middle of her eyebrows. Xiaolu trembled all over, and then fainted in Nalan's arms again. Nalan looked at me in horror, at a loss.
"It's okay. After all, this is not her original fairy spirit. Her body will be a little repulsive and will be cured soon."
Nalan's heart finally settled down. He protected Xiaolu and touched her hair pity.
Look at Zhifan again. The power of the demon spirit is indeed powerful. She swallowed the demon spirit. A powerful force burst out from her body, but the water of the fairy waterfall also trembled. Zhifan smiled. Now, in her thoughts, there was only that strong persistence. She could finally enter the demon realm and finally find her unicorn. But for some reason, I was sighing silently in my heart. Is her unicorn really worthy of her expectation and waiting for so long? Although I don’t know who the demon who encouraged her to betray her clan members and even killed her clan members, for me, the demon race is the demon race, indulging in lust, bloodthirsty, and strength is what they really long for. I am not sure if there is a demon like Cangli, of course, besides one person - the Demon Emperor in a red battle robe.
"Thank you, Miss!" she shouted at me in ecstasy.
I looked at her indifferently, but I was vaguely worried about her happiness at this moment.
"I will go to Lichi to find a way to detoxify you. I just blame my magic power is not strong enough now and I can't bring you into the demon realm, but if you are nice to me, I will definitely help you."
Her words didn't touch me at all. I had a trace of despair in my heart, whether to her or myself.
"Leave the Sword of Cang Rong for you. If the master's spirit has not dissipated, he will help you resist the demon poison for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, at the end of the sky, a lightning bolt hit me. I was startled at first, but immediately found that the lightning did not cause any harm to me. After seeing again, the sword of Cang Rong was already hanging in front of me. I hesitantly reached out to hold it. At this moment, I seemed to see a body standing in front of me, blocking the unknown danger for me, and my chest did not hurt so much.
At this moment, Zhifen jumped and disappeared into the pool water under the Quexian Waterfall. No drop of water splashed, but the Quexian Waterfall suddenly returned to its calmness. The rumbling sound of the flowing water was still the same as before, as if everything that had just happened was rushed into the Demon Realm with Zhifen.
I could barely straighten my body, but turned my head and found that Nalan was looking straight at me. Yun Jin slowly stood up and stood silently behind me.
"What kind of demon poison?" Nalan still had a calm expression, but the question was very firm.
Suddenly, I didn't know how to answer, so I had to go over.
"You are looking for demon spirit to find antidote in the Demon Realm?" He had no intention of giving up.
“…”
At this time, Xiaolu in his arms moved slightly, so my conversation with Nalan, or his inquiry, ended, and all my attention was focused on Xiaolu.
Xiaolu's face regained a blush, and her whole body was filled with spiritual energy again. She opened her eyes slightly. The first person she saw was Nalan Mosheng, whom she loved deeply.
"Mo Sheng..." She called out the name gently, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Xiaolu..." I held her hands, and with strength and warmth, I was somewhat excited.
Suddenly, she suddenly turned her head and looked at me, then shook my hand away, and asked with a little hostility: "Who are you? Get out of the gloomy forest! Outsiders are not welcome here..."
I seemed to be poked hard by something, my eyes became dark, and I felt a little dizzy. Could it be that she didn’t know me anymore? Didn’t she remember the decades of memories we lived together in the Depressed Forest? Outsiders? My heart became cold. Forty years later, I have become an outsider... The Depressed Forest is no longer where I live, so what if there are more memories? So what if there are four years deeper? How can I be considered a person in the Depressed Forest?
I slowly put my hand back, watched Xiaolu continue to whisper in Nalan's ear, and looked back from time to time, looking at me vigilantly, I had to step back step by step, as if I wanted to withdraw from their world like this.
Maybe I shouldn't have come back.
Without me, Xiaolu lived a happy life. Her favorite Nalan was with her every day and would not be stolen by others. Without me, she would not know what a demon spirit is, would not naively want to enter the demon realm, and would not have almost lost her life. Without me, the depression forest would not be full of hatred, nor would it be implicated by the oath I made.
However, the past is vivid in my mind, and I can't even move it, and I can't drive it away.
"Yinluo..."
Nalan led Xiaolu who had just recovered, and stood less than five meters away from me. However, this distance seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and even several lifetimes of reincarnation.
"Take her back and take good care of her. I will not come back and will not disturb the peace of the Lush Forest. I will protect everything in the forest for me and my mother. No matter whether the demons in the forest can return to the demon world, I will live a good life."
After saying that, I turned around and walked towards Yunjin, but I could no longer hold back the tears that were gushing out like a torrent.
"Yinluo!" Nalan shouted my name again.
"Mo Sheng, where is this? It's not a forest of depression? Let's go back quickly."
Xiaolu's voice came from behind, and I was both desolate, but also relieved. It was better for her not to remember me, so she could avoid many concerns and be with Nalan.
"Okay, we'll go back soon."
Nalan responded, but then spoke to me again:
"Yinluo, I'll be waiting for you here tonight. I have something to tell you."
I stopped slightly, but didn't stop. Yun Jin lay down gently, and I climbed onto his back, holding the sword of Cang Rong in my hand.
"Yunjin, let's go and go back to Xiaozhu."
Chapter completed!
