Chapter 355 Fox Demon 3, 4
While Mo Yuan hasn't reacted yet, he's going to settle the score with her. After all, he just woke up and is in a weak period, so his thoughts are still very confused. He let her go because they had the same experience.
When Mo Yuan reacts, he will definitely feel that something is wrong. How could a woman appear in the hall out of nowhere and say such words? He will definitely kill her.
Furthermore, Ling Ruo's good boss is Mo Yuan's right protector. If he finds out that she has secretly gone to the Netherworld Palace, he will naturally not let her go.
Ling Ruo didn't plan to stay in the Netherworld Palace obediently. Her mission was Linghu Mountain, so she naturally couldn't waste time here.
But now the strength of this body is still too weak. She needs to improve its strength first. By then, any demon king or emperor will be trampled under her feet.
The demon badge on her waist was hot. It was the right protector calling her to go back. It was obvious that he knew that she had been to the Netherworld Palace and wanted her to answer for her sin.
"Lingruo, how dare you trespass into the Demon King's Netherworld Palace! Come back quickly, and I will let you go easily." The cold voice of the right protector sounded in her ears.
The demon card fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
Without looking back, she ran to the forbidden area in the back mountains of the demon world.
When the right protector, who was transmitting the message through the card, found out that the demon card was not on his subordinate, he was furious. He put on his outer robe and decided to tie up this disobedient subordinate himself, pull out his tendons and marrow, and then send him to the demon king in person to apologize.
In the Netherworld Palace, Mo Yuan was staring at a green bird feather in a trance.
He waved his hand and called the left protector, "Let Qingying come over."
After receiving the order, the left protector quickly went to where Qingying lived to invite her.
"Miss Qing, our king invites you over."
"No!" Qingying stamped her feet. He already had that beautiful fox demon, why did he ask her to go over there?
She actually thought that although Mo Yuan treated her as a substitute, he kept her away at the wedding for fear of hurting her because he had her in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he not only used her as a substitute, but also found other banshees.
"Sorry, Miss Qing, I'm being rude." The left protector directly picked up Qingying and brought her to the Netherworld Palace regardless of her struggle.
"Your Highness, Miss Qingying has been brought here." Just as the left protector put Qingying down, the whole monster was nailed to the wall of the palace.
“Puff——” Fresh red blood spurted out of his mouth, and the Left Protector felt as if all his internal organs were displaced.
"Who allowed you to touch her like this?" Mo Yuan looked at the left protector with a deadly look, and a black ball condensed in his right hand.
"I...know my mistake..." The left protector begged for mercy quickly.
"Okay, Mo Yuan, I didn't want to see you, so he dragged me. Why are you venting your anger on him? If you have the guts, just kill me."
The hand containing the black ball was knocked down by Qingying, and she looked up at Mo Yuan.
"roll."
The left protector who was nailed to the wall of the temple was lifted up by a force from a distance and thrown out of the temple.
The left protector staggered to his feet and wiped the non-existent sweat.
"You don't want to see me, why?" Mo Yuan raised his hand again, and a gentle palm wind passed by, shortening the distance between Qingying and Mo Yuan.
"I want to go back to the Black Bear Tribe to get married." Qingying glanced to the side, not wanting to look at the man in front of her.
"They are all dead, and you want to marry their corpses?" Mo Yuan had a blank expression.
"Although Black Bear is dead, it is better than you treating me as a substitute for your mother. Mo Yuan, you are so disgusting." Qingying's slender neck was suddenly tightly pinched by a big hand.
But she forced herself to continue speaking, "You are so despicable to have such dirty thoughts towards your own mother."
"You are not allowed to mention her." Mo Yuan tightened his grip, but when he saw the tears rolling down Qingying's eyes, he loosened his grip again.
"Ahem..." Qingying breathed in the fresh air greedily, "You have other beautiful fox spirits serving you, why don't you let me go."
The coldness in Mo Yuan's red eyes dissipated, as if he suddenly realized something.
No wonder Qingying, who had changed her attitude towards him on the way back, returned to her current state. It turned out that she saw the fox demon coming out of the temple in the morning.
"Since you don't like that fox demon, I will kill her and peel her skin to make you a fox fur coat."
He waved his hands towards the void a few times, and his originally calm expression suddenly changed, and then he performed another spell.
Mo Yuan's handsome face was covered with a thick layer of ink, which then dissipated.
The fox demon actually entered the forbidden secret realm in the back mountain, and his magic could not kill her in the secret realm.
laugh.
Mo Yuan sneered. Anyway, the fox demon was going to die in the secret realm. He actually dared to enter the forbidden area. He should just wait for his soul to be torn to pieces.
There was no need to dirty his hands.
No demon has ever dared to enter the forbidden secret area in the back mountain. The grass on the graves of the demons that dared to enter is several meters high.
No one knows what happens in the secret realm. Once a demon enters the secret realm, it is like entering another world and there will be no news of it ever again.
Over the past thousands of years, there have been monsters that have left the secret realm. There was once a tree monster that entered the secret realm and came out alive. Not only that, its monster power also increased significantly.
The tree demon was very secretive about what happened inside, and only said that he was lucky and warned other demons not to enter easily.
Although the tree demon advised other demons not to go in easily, its power increased after it came out, and it was almost invincible.
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. An endless stream of monsters rush into the secret realm, but only a few come out alive, some die, some are maimed.
Gradually, this area became a forbidden area.
Ling Ruo, who had just entered the secret realm, noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the boundary of the secret realm.
She looked back and saw that the black blade that was originally locked on her was swallowed by the transparent cover and turned into nothingness.
Fortunately, she came in, otherwise the sharp blade on the hood would have fallen on her.
Being hit by a sharp blade that contains strong demonic power is not a good thing.
Fortunately, she ran away quickly.
Ling Ruo never thought that Mo Yuan would let her go so easily. What she said at the beginning was just to find an opportunity to escape from the Nether Palace.
When she went to the Netherworld Palace in the morning, she was naturally contaminated by Mo Yuan's evil spirit. It was so easy for him to target and kill her.
She didn't want to be killed by the king of monsters on the way back to Linghu Mountain.
The secret forest was full of lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sunlight. It was pitch black all around. A black leaf fell, making a slight squeaking sound.
It's so quiet.
It's too peaceful.
Unlike what Ling Ruo had imagined, the situation was full of dangers. She moved forward, stepping on the dry and muddy leaves on the ground, marking the trees in case she couldn't find her way back.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the surrounding environment suddenly changed. Several winding paths emerged from the forest, waiting for the choice of the arrival.
Ling Ruo looked back and found that the road she came from had disappeared, and turned into a small path emitting black air, like an abyss.
It seems that I have to choose one way to move forward.
Ling Ruo walked into a small path without thinking.
A white mist covered her eyes, and her vision was filled with white light.
In just a moment, she fell into endless darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in an antique room.
An old wooden table with traces of time, a few wooden chairs, and a simple mattress. The furnishings in the room can only be described as simple, even shabby, just like the furnishings in ordinary people's homes.
Ling Ruo stood up and picked up the old bronze mirror in the room. She saw eyes like autumn water and lips like peonies. It was beautiful, but it was not her face.
She tried to use her magic power again, but found that she had almost no power. She checked her whole body and found that this body was also a fox demon.
The streets are bustling with people, vendors hawking their wares, children playing and playing, giving it a lively feel.
"Mrs. Ning, why are you out so early today?" A lady stopped Ling Ruo with a smile on her face, "Would you like a bowl of sweet tofu pudding? I just made it. It's very fresh."
"No, thank you, Auntie." Ling Ruo declined and walked along the street, trying to find something different.
But it is so peaceful, this town seems to be the most ordinary town in the world.
Along the way, people greeted Ling Ruo, calling her the Madam of the Ning family with a mocking smile on their faces.
Ling Ruo also learned the identity of this body from these people, the unmarried wife of the scholar Ning Sheng.
The wedding will take place in three days.
This small town is close to the mountains, and from time to time townspeople would go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt to supplement their family income.
Ning Sheng was the original self whom he met in the mountains. The two fell in love. The scholar felt sorry for her as a weak woman living in the mountains, so he brought her back home to live.
When the townspeople around learned that the scholar had brought back a beautiful girl, they all came to see her, and almost everyone gasped.
This woman was so beautiful that she was like a pearl fallen in the mortal world in their small town.
From those people, Ling Ruo learned that Ning Sheng had been taking the imperial examinations, but had failed repeatedly. As a result, his family assets were slowly drained away and he became extremely poor.
So the weak scholar thought of going up the mountain to find some herbs to sell for silver, and that's how he met his original self.
Ling Ruo found it a little strange. Why did a weak scholar like him choose to go to the dangerous mountains instead of writing poems and selling them to bookstores, or selling calligraphy and writing letters on the street to supplement his family income?
Thinking of this, she tactfully asked the old lady who was chatting with her in front of her.
"There are rare herbs on the mountain. Many officials from other places are collecting them. Each herb is worth a lot of money. You also gave Mr. Ning many rare herbs to sell for money."
The old lady said flatteringly: "Xiao Ling, you lived in the mountains before, can you tell me where those herbs are generally found? I also want to get some to supplement my family income."
"Okay, Auntie. Next time I go to the mountain, I will definitely take you there." Lingruo smiled sweetly at her.
The old lady was overjoyed and said, "Oh, when you and Mr. Ning get married in two days, I will definitely give you a generous amount of wedding money."
After the old lady left, Lingruo no longer maintained the sweet smile on her face. She walked on the road, and gradually, there were no people around her.
The deep mountains near the town were exactly what Ling Ruo had imagined. She ignored the herbs in the mountains and the wild wolves and tigers that were eyeing her greedily.
She walked quickly, not caring even that her fox tail was exposed.
Just as they were about to reach the top, there were suddenly many more sights in the darkness. Along the way, Ling Ruo knew clearly that there was no one following her.
So what are those sights?
The moonlight sprinkled coldly on the earth, and the creatures hidden in the dark gradually appeared.
Ling Ruo was looking at those eyes and found that they were the townspeople during the day.
Among them was the lady who said she wanted to go up the mountain with Lingruo to collect herbs.
But now, her eyes were empty, her lips moved, and she was unconsciously saying the same words as the villagers next to her.
"go back..."
"go back..."
"go back..."
The townspeople all walked towards Lingruo's location, their eyes empty. The miserable, white moonlight fell on them, making them look like ghosts.
Ling Ruo had no expression on her face and did not move forward.
It seemed that leaving here now was not the best option. She had a premonition that if she took another step forward, these villagers would pounce on her and tear her to pieces alive.
I’m afraid I’ll have to resolve the illusion in this secret realm before I can get out safely.
It seems that the problem lies in the wedding three days later.
Knowing that he couldn't get away, Lingruo didn't move forward. He put away his fox tail and went down the mountain along the path.
As she moved, all the townspeople disappeared, as if they had never been there.
The candles in the room emitted a faint light, and Ling Ruo did not see Ning Sheng inside.
The two did not live together, so she walked out and saw a small house emitting a faint light.
Ning Sheng was indeed inside, holding a book, seemingly reading by lamplight. When he saw Ling Ruo coming, he smiled at her and said, "Xiao Ling, why don't you take a rest?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you." Lingruo looked at the scholar pretending to be shy, her eyes inadvertently looking at the furnishings in the room.
It was much smaller than the room she had lived in at the beginning. The original room should have been where the scholar originally lived. Because of her, the scholar moved into the study.
It is called a study, but in fact there are only a few books and cheap pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
"Young master, you should rest early." Ling Ruo stepped forward and took the book from the scholar's hand. Her eyes fell on the book again. It was the "Book of Changes" among the Five Classics.
"Okay." Ning Sheng shook his head helplessly, "We will be married in two days, and then you will be my legally wedded wife."
"Yes, sir." Ling Ruo smiled gently, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
The Book of Changes slipped from her hands, and Ling Ruo quickly picked it up from the ground, "Sir, I'll put it back for you."
She came to the old books, sorted them out without noticing, said goodnight to Ning Sheng, and left.
The moment he walked out of the room, the smile on Ning Sheng's face disappeared instantly, replaced by greed and fear.
The moonlight is shining and cicadas are chirping in the trees.
Lingruo recalled the details just now. When the scholar saw her, the hand holding the brush trembled slightly.
He is afraid of her.
But this body is his future wife. How could a scholar who wants to marry her be afraid of her?
Unless the scholar knew the identity of the original body.
Fox demon.
Since you knew it was a monster, why did you marry its original self?
Was he greedy for the wealth that the original body could bring him by collecting herbs from the mountains? Or was he attracted by the original body's beauty?
Ling Ruo tried to use the magical power of this body, but found that the physical fitness of this body was no different from that of an ordinary person.
If she didn't have a fox tail, she would have thought that her original body was a normal human being.
The next day, Lingruo got up very early.
"Sir, let me grind the ink for you."
"No need, Xiaoling, we will be married tomorrow, don't work too hard."
There was no red cloth tied around the objects in the room, nor were there any happy characters posted on them. There was no atmosphere of a wedding at all.
"It's okay, sir...ah!" The ink in the inkstone spilled onto the ground due to the woman's action, and the ink inside splashed, staining a corner of the man's blue shirt with ink.
"I'm sorry, sir, you should change your clothes quickly."
