C1 The past Was the past
Ten thousand years ago, before you were even born, there was a saying that went, "On the cold river, white bones float; the Demon Lord is in the way, and the Seven Realms are floating" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The valley below the river was very cold. When I looked down and saw that the boiling water in his blue and white porcelain cup was no longer steaming, I raised my hand and splashed the water out of the small cup. I picked up the teapot from the fire and refilled his cup.
"Little Demon Emperor, do you understand what I'm saying?"
The youth's face turned pale, as if he was a little embarrassed. Even if his thick eyelashes flickered and covered his eyes, it couldn't hide his master's thoughts at all.
"I... I understand, but since I have come, I must have been prepared. If you don't answer for a day, I will torture you for a day. If you don't answer for a year, I will torture you for a year. Even if there are others outside saying something, I will take responsibility for it. I will definitely not let you be disturbed by the Seven Realms again."
I sighed to myself, for such a good boy, with such a deep affection and such a daring heart, was not the son of that man!
"Little Demon Emperor, why do you have to do this? To the Seven Realms, I am already considered dead. Your little lover has been badly burned by the Devil Flame. It won't kill him immediately, but he'll be able to hold on for a few more years at most. " I was sitting on the floor with my legs crossed, my white dress spread all over the floor. The child in front of me seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by me.
"You don't want to leave the mountain no matter what. Do you still hate my father?"
He stared at me and spoke slowly. I was shocked by what he said. I poured half of the pot of boiling water on my left hand which was holding the cup.
"Hiss... You little kid, you know so much!"
The bottom of the Mute Moon Valley was cold, so I kept the teapot on the fire, so the water inside was naturally boiling. Seeing my entire left hand quickly turning red and blistering from the heat, the corner of my eyes twitched a few times, but I endured it. In the end, I didn't have the face to cry out in pain in front of a junior. However, the kid seemed to be scared. He lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Tsk... Little Demon Emperor, the one who was scalded was me. What are you afraid of? But you're right, I do hate your father. Back then, if he hadn't stopped me and sealed me into this Mute Moon Valley, I would have long since leveled the Seven Realms. Why would I live in such a place like a stray dog? He denies me, humiliates me, destroys me, and you think well enough to beg me to cure your little lover. Do you know that a father owes a son a debt? "
- That makes me feel guilty. I am so weak, yet I have to pretend to be tough all my life. That makes me feel so awkward.
As soon as those words left his mouth, I originally thought that if the little Demon Emperor wasn't cursing at me, he would at least leave with a flick of his sleeve. Who would have thought that he would still look like he had been caught doing something bad. I really couldn't help but wonder again if this was really Zhuochen's son. If he really was his biological father, then his temper was too bad... How could Zhuochen's domineering and courage not be found in his son at all?
"I don't believe it."
He blushed for a long time, and he didn't dare to say a word. I felt sorry for him. After a while, I finally said it, but it made my heart ache even more!
Little Demon Emperor, you are so pitiful. Did you get scared by me to this extent?
Thinking about it, what was wrong with him? It was already not easy for him to break through the thousand-mile miasma on the cold river in order to save his lover, and he also spent a large amount of magic power to break through the barrier that Zhuochen sealed at the entrance of the Mute Moon Valley ten thousand years ago. He spent more than ten days in the huge valley to find me, the former Demon Lord who had been sealed for nearly ten thousand years and whose life and death was unknown.
I shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't! Unfortunately, I had already said what I wanted to say, and now it seemed to hurt a little to go back and say it again. I thought about how to comfort the child as I gently twisted my left wrist.
"The Demon Lord was not at a disadvantage in the slightest when he fought the three great monarchs alone that day. Now, he can't even recover from such a small injury?"
The young man stared at my left hand that was almost scalded and frowned slightly.
I looked at his face and felt dizzy. I couldn't help but think of a voice in my head. It was either teasing, angry, or mocking, but it was always the same person...
"You even killed the Red Scaled Dragon, yet you were still poisoned by a little snake. Xiao Yun, you are really becoming more and more promising!"
"Weren't you lecturing others just now? I think you're right. I think the Demon Lord must have already memorized the ancient books of the Devil Realm. Then I'll test you -"
"Heh... That's right, are you unafraid of death? I'm not! I'm afraid of death! I, a million disciples of the Devil Realm, am afraid of death! Ho Xiaoyun, I won't allow you to mess around anymore!"
How strange, he actually remembered every single word he said to me.
That little bastard is finally gone. I promised to treat his little lover for the things he reminded me of.
However, I was still unwilling to leave the Mute Moon Valley, so I let him think of a way to send Xijie down. Xijie was seriously burned by the devil flames and could not bear the bumpy road. I knew that this was a difficult problem for Ling. But if he can't think of a way to solve both problems and if he doesn't have a brain, what if I help them this time and get backstabbed in the future? I don't have the patience to help two juniors clean up their mess.
However, I still don't feel right today. Am I teaching Ling Zhi how to be a monarch? He had clearly thought it through before, and from now on, he would have nothing to do with the Seven Realms, especially since it concerned my former superior, Zhuochen. But now he's helping that bastard raise his son?
A dried tree branch reached out in front of me and gently shook -
"You are indeed helping the bastard raise his son."
The raspy voice was extremely compatible with the dead tree.
I reached out my hand and pinched the branch off the tree. I could clearly hear the sound of the twig breaking and the pain from the old thing pretending to be in pain.
"Old thing, when did you come back to life? You are already so old, yet you still dare to be so lewd and peep at my heart."
He was a parasol tree.
According to age, he should be the ancestor of all the flowers, plants and trees in the Seven Realms. Originally, he had been living a verdant and lush life in the Mute Moon Valley, but later on, the Mute Moon Valley was completely burned down by a large fire. In the end, Old Wutong had lived a long and early life, and when the fire spread to his body, he forced his spirit out of his body, barely keeping his life. Since then, he had opened the door to a new world. His spirit was not limited, and his cultivation level was high enough for him to come out of the valley every two or three days and play inside the body of his great-grandson.
Because he had often left his body before I came, for a long time after I was sealed in the Mute Moon Valley, I thought that the old sycamore had long been burned to death, so much so that the first time he spoke to me really scared me.
Everyone felt that since the Demon Lord, Ho Xiaoyun, was thrown into the Mute Moon Valley by the impartial Demon Emperor Zhuochen, then I should know nothing about what happened in the next ten thousand years.
Who would have thought that I, the Devil Lord, would have such an open-mouthed old thing who could enter and leave the valley as if he didn't care about Zhuochen's seal? In these ten thousand years, not to mention the major matters concerning the gods, demons, and spirits, even the trivial matters of which Divine Lord took in a beautiful disciple, which concubine gave birth to a pair of twins, and which emperor was forced to abdicate by his son were all known to me.
But to be honest, it's annoying to know too much - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For example, Zhuochen later married and had a wonderful child. My best friend Feiliu gave up her position to her disciple not long after my accident. The culprit who forced me to kill all those years ago is still alive and well in the worship of tens of thousands of people...
But I didn't care if I liked it or not, I just took it as a kind of endurance exercise.
"What did you know that made you come back?"
It didn't sound good, but when he thought about how he told him every time he came back, he felt like he was scratched by a little rabbit. He couldn't get angry, so he wanted to touch it.
After all, Seven Realms Floating Life is the only thing in the world that still thinks about me at all times. Oh right! The name of the old Wutong is Floating Life.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh. Fu Sheng, that name would have matched a handsome young man with a sweet voice, but the old thing's body had been burnt to a crisp, and it couldn't take human form anymore.
"- Pah! -"
I was laughing so hard that my whole body was shaking. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain coming from my left hand. My left hand, which was about to be scalded, was hit hard on the branch by the vengeful old thing.
"I was laughing so hard that my whole body was shaking. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain coming from my left hand - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Eh? Little girl, are you crippled?" Fu Sheng seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. "You can't even heal such a small wound?"
I had just called Ling Xiao Demon Emperor, and now someone called me little girl... The Heavenly Dao is indeed good at reincarnation.
Fu Sheng continued to chatter on. This was the only good thing about him. Even though he had lived for a long time, he did not put on the airs of an elder. He never felt bored when he was with him, and he even wanted some peace and quiet.
"Old thing, I don't want to be seen by you when I'm not on guard, but if you see me when I'm on guard, it would be too embarrassing." I turned my head to look at the dead tree where I was sitting. The fire that had been brewing the tea had gone out, and there was no other light at the bottom of the Mute Moon Valley.
"Little girl, you never tell me about your past yourself. It's said that curiosity is common, so what's wrong with me looking at it a few times?" He was sitting beside me. I turned my head and curled my lips to ignore him.
"Little girl, who is that bastard you were thinking about just now?"
"Of course it's that stupid kid's father." I smiled. I knew he would continue asking.
"Girl, I am serious!" Fu Sheng sounded extremely upset!
"I am not lying to you. Of course, it is the father of that stupid kid. It is said that the dead are important. Do you really want to cuckold the dead?"
I closed my eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore. I was going to sleep for a while, but then I turned around and added,
"It is useless to ask. It is not that I don't want to tell you. I just don't want to live anymore. I am old. As for my past, I don't remember it anymore. "
