The sword energy of Cang Rong's sword firmly locked the demon poison in my body. After a slight debugging, it no longer felt like it was poisonous. Before the appointment of the Ch'xian Waterfall, I went to the wooden house again. Everything under the starry sky was so quiet and a little lost. Will that person really not come back? Or, he and the woman who loves him have become acquainted with him?

If you look closely, the Fairy Waterfall is just an ordinary waterfall. Who can guess that under it is another world?

The sound of footsteps came from behind me, and I sighed slightly, and Nalan had already walked around me.

"Tell me, what happened to the Depressed Forest after I left?" I asked calmly.

"Do you still remember the soft wings?"

How could I not remember? If it weren't for her, how could I have been brought into the Demon Realm by Cang Li? I would have lived there for forty years? If it weren't for her, how could I understand that the deception from my friends was so heartbreaking?

The memory that has been buried forty years is still as clear as before. I pondered a little, but after all, it was a painful memory that I didn't want to remember. When I turned around, I saw Nalan Mosheng's sudden appearance that I suddenly seemed a little vicissitudes. I suddenly remembered that forty years passed like this.

"On the day you disappeared, Rouchi left. Before leaving, she stayed in Youyou Valley for a while. Xiaolu didn't like her at all, but when she found her, she had a dispute. Rouchi left in anger. Later, Xiaolu told me that she fell a red bead in Youyou Valley. Xiaolu liked it a little, but when she saw that the bead had spiritual energy, she stayed. I think that the bead was probably a demon spirit."

I sighed deeply and said, "That day, Rouqi colluded with a demon clan and seriously injured me, which caused me to fall into the demon realm."

Nalan seemed to be surprised.

"She helped me, just to strengthen my spiritual power and then seize my true energy and dedicate it to the demon clan. At that time, I was attacked by her, seriously injured, and was rescued by another demon and brought into the demon realm... As for the demon who conspired with her, it seemed that she was injured, and I don't know the funeral afterwards."

"That's it. After she left, monsters were still invading the forest. Now it seems that it was all because of the demon spirit." He paused and continued, "You suddenly disappeared. Xiaolu and I looked for you everywhere, but there was no news... Xiaolu took care of me and relied on me in every way. Gradually, I felt a little guilty towards her, so..."

I smiled faintly and looked up at him.

"No need to explain, the relationship between me and you has ended completely in the Demon Realm. I am very grateful that you can take good care of Xiaolu."

He smiled coldly and silently said, "It's over...yes, it's over."

As if he was shaking his mind in an instant, he immediately returned to his calmness, but his calmness was somewhat mixed with downfall and disappointment, and it was no longer the kind of slight arrogant calmness he had before.

"We have been looking for you for many years, until not long ago, a powerful demon clan in purple clothes came to the forest of Luxury. It should be said that it was her soul who came to the forest of Luxury. It was she who told me that you were in the Demon Realm and would hold a wedding with the second most powerful demon in the Demon Realm... She said that as long as I was willing to help her stop this wedding, I would help me urge the demon-suppressing stone to bring the tribe back to the demon world... You know, this is the duty of the Lord of the Forest, and I heard you were going to marry someone else... So, I agreed to her... but I didn't know that she actually wanted me to hurt you!" He sighed, "I hesitated, but think about it, you are going to marry someone else's wife. My only wish is to complete my duties as soon as possible, let alone just hurt you, not to take your life, so I..."

"So you agreed?"

He nodded, but I could only smile bitterly, as if everything he did was so open and upright.

"What happened later?"

"After I returned to the forest of depression, this woman never appeared again. I have been resentful about this, especially the sword that stabbed you... Seeing me like this, Xiaolu kept shouting to go to the Demon Realm to settle the score with the woman. Later, you came back unexpectedly and brought news about the Demon Spirit. Xiaolu might have guessed that the red bead was the Demon Spirit, so..."

After listening to his statement, my heart was a little complicated. I carefully sorted out the whole story, but suddenly I found an omission. The woman in purple in his name Nalan should be Zi Mei. But why did Zi Mei know my connection with Yu Zhilin? What made me even more strange is how did Zhifan, who had lived in the Demon Realm for a long time, know that the Demon Spirit was in Yu Zhilin? Could it be that Zimei told her? Also, in two time and space, how could she know Xiaolu's identity? Even Nalan and I, who have lived with Xiaolu for decades, know how Zhifan knew about this?

"Have you ever seen Xiaolu, the woman in purple you mentioned?"

Nalan seemed very surprised at the question I asked.

"No." He replied in confusion.

His answer made me even more confused. I pondered carefully, hoping to sort out everything that happened. But he continued:

"What about you? How did you come out of the Demon Realm? Is it all related to the woman in purple?"

I looked at him silently, and recalled Cang Li's last helpless and weak eyes, as well as the turbulent vortex over the Demon-Sealing Valley.

"That woman is called Zi Mei, and she is the sister of another powerful demon clan in the Demon Realm. She found you to help his brother defeat the demon who saved me. She was scheming and cunning, so she used your weaknesses to exploit you. Her purpose has been achieved, and she will naturally not fulfill her so-called promise. At that time, I was also deceived by her, and I killed the demon clan who once saved me, Cang Li. It was also before he died that he sent me back with his last power.

"The fairy who became a demon here is named Zhifon, who is Cang Li's maid, but later she betrayed Cang Li and followed Zi Mei. The reason was clear. In order to find her "Qilin", she could almost sacrifice everything, and it was not surprising that she would do these things."

Nalan pondered for a while, perhaps he was digesting everything that happened to me in the Demon Realm for forty years from my brief explanation, but how could he guess the loneliness, helplessness, and desolation I faced thoroughly?

"Then...you and that demon..."

The questions he asked in the end made me feel helpless. Maybe he still pretended to be me in his heart, but after missing the time for explanation, even the initial waiting and persistence were wiped out.

"He saved me in the Depressed Forest and forced me to marry him in the Demon Realm because I was too similar to his previous wife, so he wanted to treat me as her and accompany me. Think about it, if he hadn't been to care for me in every way and healed my injuries, I would have died long ago."

Nalan smiled bitterly: "If I had known this, how could this happen?"

This was the first time I had such a peaceful conversation with Nalan after returning to the Lush Forest, but I could only end here.

There was nothing else between me and him except misunderstandings, regrets, misses, helplessness and regrets. He had finished what he should say, and I turned around to face the direction of the Quexian Waterfall and listened quietly to the sound of the water flow. The wind at night was a little strongly carried by the water, and it was a chill after a while when it was blown upon me. The memories of the past flashed through my heart, but it was already the past like smoke.

Nalan finally chose to turn around and leave. What he should face was not the past, but the future of all living beings in the depressed forest, and the person who deeply engraved him in his heart and needed him to care for eternity for eternity. And when I faced the reunion forty years, I already played the role of a passerby. Apart from my mother, the depressed forest seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me. When facing old friends, I was only sad, not to mention that the demon poison I had in me was afraid that there was no cure to cure. I didn’t even know how long I could have with this world.

"If one day I still have the ability, I will come back to help you bring your tribe members back to the demon world."
