"Ouch!" The Hell Flame Dragon let out a mournful cry.
"Poof——!" The Hell Flame Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was no movement.
"Bang——!" Murong Cheyun let go of his foot, and the Hell Flame Dragon fell to the ground.
The town behind them also collapsed with the fighting.
Murong Cheyun's eyes fell on Lingyu who was unconscious not far away.
He walked to Lingyu and squatted down, placing his palms on Lingyu's chest, and then input his own internal energy.
"Hmm~" Lingyu woke up with a sigh.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu opened his heavy eyelids and saw the crumbling ruins in front of him. An hour ago, the town was bustling with activity. At this time, there was no sound of people. The Hell Flame Dragon was lying on the ground with a dead look.
not far away.
She couldn't believe that human life and buildings were so fragile in front of monsters.
Murong Cheyun stood up and stared at Lingyu indifferently.
Lingyu felt a cold gaze falling on her, couldn't help but shiver, and then turned to look at Murong Cheyun, only to meet a pair of black eyes as cold as frost.
His heart inexplicably skipped a beat, then jumped up quickly, looking at Murong Cheyun warily.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu finally asked after a long silence.
"Whoa!" The Hell Flame Dragon suddenly came back to life and slowly crawled over from the ground.
A trace of disgust flashed in Murong Cheyun's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and cut off the Hell Flame Dragon's neck with a sword.
"Crack!" The Hell Flame Dragon's head rolled to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
"Roar——!" The Hell Flame Dragon's last scream suddenly stopped, completely losing its vitality.
"I've had enough fun, it's time to go back with me." Murong Cheyun retracted his hand, then grabbed Lingyu and disappeared with her.
After the two people left, several black shadows appeared from the ground. Mu Chen, who was supposed to be unconscious, opened his eyes and looked at the direction the two people left with a gloomy expression.
"Ling'er, you can't escape."
Murong Cheyun brought Lingyu to a mountain.
"Ahem...!" Lingyu coughed twice violently. She was really seriously injured.
Although Murong Cheyun saved her just now, she still suffered serious internal injuries.
Murong Cheyun took out a pill and stuffed it into Lingyu's mouth.
As soon as the elixir was taken into her stomach, it turned into a warm current and traveled throughout her body. She felt refreshed all over.
"Thank you!" Lingyu opened her eyes and said weakly, then closed her eyes and began to perform exercises to heal her injuries.
Seeing this, Murong Cheyun ignored her and started absorbing spiritual energy on his own.
Time passed little by little, and Lingyu was awakened by a familiar voice.
"Miss!" Lingyu opened her eyes, and a crisp and sweet voice came from outside the door.
"Who?" Lingyu immediately became more vigilant and looked at the door warily. No, she was clearly in the cave before, how could she be in the house now? And the layout here looks very familiar!
No one answered Lingyu outside the door, but the voice was getting closer and closer.
"Dong dong dong——!"
"Dong dong dong——!"
"Dong dong dong——!"
The knocking on the door was very urgent and getting louder and louder, as if the house was about to be overturned.
"Squeak——!" Lingyu frowned and then opened the door.
When Lingyu opened the door and saw the people outside, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cui'er in confusion.
"Why are you here?" Lingyu asked doubtfully.
She didn't expect that Murong Cheyun would take her back to the imperial city again.
After going round and round, I came back here again.
Cui'er and the other two maids showed happy expressions on their faces.
"Miss, you are finally back!" Cui'er hugged Lingyu excitedly, and then started crying.
They were worried every day while the young lady was away, for fear that something might happen to her.
The young lady is usually so gentle and kind, but they are reluctant to let anything happen to her, and they also need to rely on her to make money to support their family!
"Don't cry! Am I back now?" Lingyu touched Cui'er's head, then walked up to the house.
Cui'er wiped away her tears and quickly followed Lingyu's footsteps.
After Lingyu entered the house, she found that the house was in a mess, with tables, chairs and benches staggered here and there, and even teapots and cups scattered on the floor, which showed how irritable Murong Cheyun was.
Lingyu frowned, then walked to a bed and sat down, then looked at Murong Cheyun and said, "Is this what you call hospitality?"
When Murong Cheyun heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"I'm hungry, go prepare something to eat!" Murong Cheyun said coldly, and then sat down at the table.
Lingyu looked at Murong Cheyun's back and became even more confused.
"Okay!" Cui'er responded and walked out.
Lingyu sat aside and meditated.
What did Murong Cheyun want to do? He sent her away from the imperial city when the imperial power changed, and now he brought her back?
Do you want to use yourself as bait to lure out the people behind the scenes?
Or, is this an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Lingyu shook her head, then shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind, closed her eyes and rested.
After a while of burning incense, Cui'er walked in carrying a plate of dishes.
"Miss, the food is ready. Eat it while it's hot!" Cui'er put the food on the table.
Lingyu opened her eyes after hearing this, and then looked at the food on the table.
The food is full of color, flavor and presentation, which makes people want to eat, especially it looks delicious.
"Okay!" Lingyu swallowed, then stood up, walked to the dining table, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks.
"Crack!" As soon as the piece of meat reached Lingyu's mouth, Murong Cheyun, who had been looking at her, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the chopsticks in her hand.
"What are you doing?" Lingyu glared at Murong Cheyun, this person went too far and even took her food!
"This rude way of eating is not suitable for you!" Murong Cheyun glanced at Lingyu lightly and said.
Lingyu: "..." Rude? How could she be rude? She just wanted to give it a try!
"Do you know?" Murong Cheyun's tone became a little deeper.
"Huh?" Lingyu blinked, not understanding why he said that, but she was indeed very hungry now.
"Before I met you, I had eaten human flesh many times!" Murong Cheyun lowered his head and raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
Lingyu looked at him in horror, this man was simply a devil!
"Haha...!" Murong Cheyun chuckled, then held his chopsticks and continued to eat gracefully.
"In this world, demons are rampant. In order to survive, people have long abandoned the so-called moral principles. Demon hunters can transform people into monsters and make them the most powerful weapons in their hands. Ordinary people have become fish on the chopping board. There is nothing
The power of resistance."
"I don't know when humans started killing each other. It's not just monsters that people need to be wary of, but also - similar people."
Listening to Murong Cheyun's slow and magnetic voice, Lingyu suddenly felt a sad feeling in her heart. Is all this caused by human greed, jealousy, and resentment?
If someone asks, what is the most desperate thing in the world?
You know you are right, but all the voices around you tell you that you are wrong. You can only be forced to follow the voices of the world, change your wishes, behavior, and follow their footsteps, even though you know everything is wrong.
Under the torrent of the times, it would be a mistake not to follow the trend.
Lingyu sighed, then lowered his head and ate in silence.
"Pah!" A drop of crystal liquid fell to the ground. Lingyu raised her eyes slightly and saw Cui'er kneeling in front of her with tears on her face.
"Miss, please help me! I don't want to die! I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!" Cui'er grabbed the hem of Lingyu's skirt and begged.
Lingyu frowned, then helped Tweety up, "Tweety, you get up first."
"Miss, after you left, the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince passed away one after another. The Seventh Prince Murong Cheyun became the only survivor and inherited the throne. However, strange images appeared frequently in the palace." Cui Er took Murong Cheyun's succession to the throne.
Told Lingyu.
Lingyu listened quietly. Although she had already guessed it, she still couldn't help being shocked when she heard Cui'er say it herself.
It was not easy for Murong Cheyun to escape from that catastrophe.
"Miss, please save us innocent people!" Cui'er grabbed Lingyu's arm and begged with tears in her eyes.
Lingyu frowned, then broke away from Cui'er's hand and said, "I'm just an ordinary lady. Now I'm trapped here and I can't do anything at all. Besides, these are extraordinary times, and I can't possibly interfere in this matter.
Please also ask Miss Cui'er not to force me."
"Miss! Are you really that cruel to watch them die miserably?" Cui'er asked unwillingly. Her young lady is obviously the most kind, so how could she ignore them?
"Tui'er, I know you are sad, but you should also understand that I will not set up myself for them." Lingyu said seriously.
Cui'er gritted her teeth, finally released her grip on Lingyu's clothes, and stepped aside.
Lingyu sighed and continued to drink the soup in the bowl.
"You go down first!" Murong Cheyun's voice came over, with a hint of coldness. Cui'er trembled all over and left here in a hurry.
Murong Cheyun's scrutinizing eyes kept looking at her, which made Lingyu very uncomfortable.
"Have you really changed, or are you trying to play some tricks?" Murong Cheyun said calmly.
Lingyu did not answer him, but looked out the window at the bright moon.
This Murong Cheyun deliberately asked Cui'er to reveal something to him. I don't know what he was thinking. If she complied with his wishes so easily, wouldn't it be fun?
In this game, who is the prey and who is the hunter has yet to be determined!
Murong Cheyun looked at her and smiled playfully. Before getting up and leaving, he left Lingyu with a meaningful message: "You can't escape."
