C25 Retreat

I nudged her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Are you addicted to it? I didn't remember you having it before."

Wanqing slowly came out of my arms and sat on the ground next to me. Her eyes were still red, but she insisted, "The adults have been gone for so long."

She shook her head and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Without the powerful shadow of Zhuochen and me, she had indeed grown a lot. No matter how much I doted on her, she had never looked so natural when she talked back to me. I didn't have to look at her to know that she was much stronger than when I left her. Maybe not as strong as I used to be, but not much weaker.

But it's a pity that she was born too late, and her skills are still not good enough. She needs to succeed in something that she's been holding back for ten thousand years, and I can see that she can't do it. So to this day, even if Wanqing's prestige and dignity in the Devil Realm had already surpassed mine in the past, her future path was still not up to her.

I kept my eyes closed and the smile on my face faded, and even though I knew she would do anything I asked and do it beautifully, I felt sorry for her.

However, what I have to do now is to protect her.

"Right Patronus," I saw the confusion and calmness on her face.

Other than official business and war, I rarely called her by her rank. I was also trying to close the distance between the two of them so that they wouldn't drift apart.

"Demon Lord...?" She didn't understand, but she still waited for me to continue according to the rules.

"Ling Ran and the other two are about to arrive. I have already promised to treat Xijie's injuries." I placed my slightly cold fingers on the sharp chin of the person opposite me and looked deeply into her eyes.

The words I casually said shattered the determination in her eyes. Her peaceful face was twisted by the pain. I knew that this was a denial of what she had done all these years, and it was also a casual turn of the page about the humiliation in the Devil Realm in the past.

I have been buried for ten thousand years, leisurely and leisurely. Yet she has been resisting the wind and frost swords outside for a thousand years, and she has tasted indescribable pain.

She didn't understand. She felt wronged. It was what she should do.

"Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

... ""

"Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

... Why... She slowly recovered her normal voice, but the question in her tone turned into a sob at the end of her sentence.

"He came to find me, I'm sure he couldn't hide it from your eyes and ears. That child's mind is pure, he can't hide anything from me. The person I want to save is from the Divine Realm, I know. But I want to save him. In short, I'm about to die. Not only do I want to save him, I also want to pass the position of Demon Lord to him. " In the darkness, my voice gradually began to drift. The fingers that were pinching her chin had unknowingly become wet - she cried bitterly.

No, she said.

The moaning sound came out from the gap between the two words. It made me feel like my heart was being pinched by a hand.

I let go, "No? Do you want me to save him or not? You should know that it is not up to you to decide, Protector."

"But he is, after all, someone from the Divine Realm! Late Lord had always left the position of Demon Lord in the air. When Late Lord died, the current Demon Emperor wanted to confer it to his subordinates, but I have always known that only you can bear the title of Demon Lord! If anyone could bear this title because of the Demon Emperor, not to mention that I don't recognize it, how many people would recognize the seventy-two generals and tens of thousands of disciples of the Devil Realm? ! "

Sure enough, she had grown up. She could even talk to me so rudely. She secretly shook her head and gave me a helpless smile. I really liked the sharp-tongued look on Wanqing's face.

"It's not up to you whether or not you can convince the public about prestige, and this prestige is only a matter of time. He is not a nobody, and in the end, he can still do great things. As for whether or not it is beneficial to the Devil Realm, that is Ling Zhi's responsibility..." I sighed slightly, "Protector, Late Lord and I have become outsiders to this game of chess under the Heavenly Dao of Seven Realms... You, it's time for you to back off and hand this game of chess over to the future generations. Back then, the one from the Purple Sanctuary did a good job. If you still think of me as the Demon Lord, be obedient and go to the Purple Sanctuary... Devil Realm, don't become a grudge that you can't forget. It's not worth it. "

The Purple Sanctuary Province belonged to the Spirit Realm, which was an extremely pure and unworldly pure land. After the previous Spirit Emperor, Feiliu, abdicated, she had been quietly living her own life in the Purple Sanctuary Province. The successor of the Spirit Emperor was also the disciple of Feiliu's foster father. After Feiliu retired, she was given a new title, called the Purple Sanctuary Lady Monarch.

Feiliu also had a deep relationship with the Devil Realm. Half of the reason why she successfully seized the throne from her two vicious brothers back then was inseparable from the Devil Realm.

Feiliu and I were very compatible, and the two of us played together for a few years until the war.

Right now, the Devil Realm may appear calm on the surface, but there are actually undercurrents brewing underneath the surface. There will definitely be an internal conflict that needs to be resolved. One in the sky, one in the court. This was the rule of the mortal world, and it was the same no matter where it was. As a subject of the previous dynasty, even if she had a master-disciple relationship with Ling Ran, she might not be able to survive this undercurrent... I asked Wanqing to relinquish her power because I hoped to save the last person in Zhuochen's court...

The idea struck me as ridiculous and ridiculous...

But sometimes, I just can't be bothered to find any reason to do something stupid. I just want to do it.
