Mixed with thick cyan blood, it sprayed and dripped on the vine branches and trunks, crackling suddenly, exuding a thick corrosive smell, and filled with black smoke.
Zhao Yu screamed in pain, his face extremely distorted.
Soon, her cheeks began to rot, her limbs and bones were charred black, like burnt charcoal, and ashes were scattered.
Nie Ying was afraid of being affected and retreated to a safe area.
Only then did she realize that the entire peach tree seemed to transform into a monster, slowly twisting and waving its branches, and the pink peach blossoms all glowed red.
It wasn't until Zhao Yu's body completely rotted into ashes that the peach tree returned to normal.
Nie Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
She is not a vengeful person, but she also knows how to kill potential threats.
Although Zhao Yu is trapped here and there seems to be no hope of escape, but what if?
If the other party miraculously survives and returns to the capital, neither she nor Li Nanke will be able to reap the consequences. Nie Ying does not want to be so compassionate for a moment and sow trouble for herself.
Seeing that the peach tree was no longer moving, Nie Ying returned to the hut.
At this time, she discovered that the wooden door that was originally closed was open with a gap, and the candlelight was extinguished inside, making it dark.
"Li Nanke?"
Nie Ying did not dare to step forward rashly and called out softly.
No response came from inside the house.
The woman hesitated again and again, and finally opened the door and cautiously stepped in.
Searching for her memory, she groped her way to the wooden table and lit the candle.
When the light suddenly brightened, a pale face suddenly came into view. Nie Ying was so startled that she stepped back again and again, picking up the sharp wooden branch she had just picked up and placing it in front of her.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Li Nanke.
At this moment, the opponent was sitting in front of the table like a wax figure, motionless. In front of him was a chessboard filled with black and white chess pieces.
There was no one else in front of me.
It seems like Li Nanke is playing chess with the air.
"Li Nanke?"
Nie Ying swallowed, plucked up the courage to get closer to the man, and waved her hand in front of the man, trying to wake him up.
But the latter didn't move at all, just staring at the chessboard on the table.
"Could it be..."
Recalling what Li Nanke had said before, Nie Ying secretly guessed, "The game is not over yet?"
If it is not over, then who is the chess piece that is sacrificed?
Nie Ying felt something in her heart and suddenly looked at the bed.
There is a woman lying on the bed.
The woman's whole body was entangled and trapped by vine branches, and several sharp thorns were pressed against the woman's delicate throat, ready to take her life away at any time.
This woman is none other than the eldest princess Bai Ruyue!
"Eldest Princess!"
Nie Ying rushed forward, but was blocked by a barrier and could not touch Bai Ruyue's body.
No matter how much she yelled, Bai Ruyue, who was unconscious, showed no sign of waking up.
Nie Ying angrily punched the barrier.
"She deserves to die."
Suddenly, a little girl's childish voice floated from behind.
Nie Ying's expression changed and she turned around quickly.
I saw a petite little girl standing in the room at some point.
Judging from the body shape, the girl is not very old, only about ten years old. The strange thing is that her face is shrouded in a mist, and her facial features cannot be seen clearly.
"Who are you?"
Nie Ying's nerves were tense and she clenched her pink fists and asked.
The little girl put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoes and walked to the chessboard and looked at it for a while, then she said crisply: "Without one piece, we can't win."
"The missing chess piece is the eldest princess."
Nie Ying said.
At this moment, she has judged that this little girl is not the song girl, but another monster.
"No, anyone can become a chess piece."
The little girl said something meaningful.
Without waiting for Nie Ying to ask, the little girl looked at the eldest princess who was bound as a puppet on the bed with watery eyes, and said calmly: "She is my mother."
???
Nie Ying was stunned.
"What did you say?" She stared at the little girl with a strange look, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears.
Did this girl admit the wrong person?
The little girl pointed to Bai Ruyue on the bed and said seriously: "She is my mother, but she deserves to die."
"...Little girl, you must have mistaken the person. She's not even married yet, so how can she have a child?" Nie Ying was speechless.
The little girl did not explain, waved her hand, opened the closet, and said to Nie Ying: "This is the door to go out. You can leave here now. There will be no more danger."
leave?
Nie Ying remained suspicious.
In such a dangerous place, would the other party let her leave safely?
Being afraid is not a trap.
"Even if she is your mother, why should she die?"
Nie Ying was very puzzled.
The gossip about women's nature is brought out from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at Bai Ruyue's delicate profile, the little girl said calmly: "You don't understand, if she doesn't die, daddy will die."
Who is the father?
Nie Ying's brain was confused.
"Although I am not their biological child, since they have replaced their parents in a lifetime, I have a blood connection."
The little girl continued to speak words that Nie Ying could not understand, her sad tone mixed with a bit of determination, "But compared to my mother, I hope that my father will survive."
"You mean, Li Nanke is your father?"
Nie Ying finally tasted it.
Of course, in her opinion, this little girl is a mentally ill monster who regards others as her parents for no reason.
"Do you want to know your life experience?"
The little girl suddenly asked, staring at Nie Ying with interest.
Nie Ying was stunned.
life experience?
As an orphan who has been raised since childhood, how can he know his life experience?
When the woman was confused, she suddenly saw a colorful butterfly flying over and landing on her shoulder.
Nie Ying subconsciously touched the butterfly.
As soon as her fingertips touched it, a huge suction force suddenly pulled her backwards, and countless light spots around her turned into streams of light and flew backwards quickly.
———
the other side.
The song girl's sharp teeth were like sharpened sharp edges, biting down hard on the man's wrist.
However, the expected scene of blood spurting did not appear. Instead, the woman's teeth broke directly, as if she had bitten on steel.
Of course, Li Nanke was indeed a man of steel at this time.
After all, the energy of Hongyu has not dissipated yet.
boom!
With the gunshot, a bloody hole was blasted out of the singer's heart.
Li Nanke looked at the bewildered ballad girl, stood up, blew on the gun, and said calmly: "You want to seduce me without taking off your clothes. Who do you think I am?"
The woman's peaceful gaze was gradually replaced by seriousness.
Her body once again grew dense pink peach blossoms, and the chest that was broken by Li Nanke's shot healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, Li Nanke was about to raise his gun and continue shooting, but a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.
Sensing the dangerous aura, he dodged to avoid it.
When he looked up, he saw a pale, monkey-like monster with three long tails, grinning at him with a fierce look in his eyes.
At the same time, the same three monsters appeared in the room.
They are distributed in the four corners, trapping men in them.
The ballad girl glanced at Li Nanke gloomily, waved her arm gently, and pieces of peach blossoms flew in the air with a strange fragrance, charming her eyes.
When the petals fell, the woman was no longer visible.
Ran?
Li Nanke frowned and prepared to use his "perspective" ability to try to find it.
But the next moment, the three-tailed monkey monsters scattered in the four corners of the room suddenly pounced.
"grass!"
Li Nanke cursed secretly, raised his gun and fired.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a bright sword light came out of thin air and cut the monkey in front of him in half.
Seeing this familiar sword blade, the man's heart beat faster.
He turned around.
Sure enough, a plain white dress came into view.
The candlelight in the room swayed and flickered, hazing the woman's slender figure in a dream.
