This road is very dark, it is really pitch black, and it is very narrow. It can only allow one person to pass. If you deviate a little, you can still touch the uneven stone wall next to it. It is obvious that this place has been
It didn't take long to dig through, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't even have time to sort it out.
Occasionally, there would be the sound of water drops falling from nowhere. In this extremely silent space, where there was no sound of footsteps, it was extremely obvious, making it even more eerie.
From the moment I left here, I spent a whole day walking in this narrow passage. The most I heard was my own heartbeat. No talking was allowed here. If I hadn't been able to feel the presence of my companions before and after me, I would have thought that I was the only one left.
one person.
Xiangxiang was also lucky that Heixiang had been following her, otherwise she would have wanted to go home because she always felt something was wrong. Her mother never said a word to her from beginning to end, which was very strange.
Just when she couldn't help but want to ask Heixiang, a bright light finally appeared in front of her, and the whole crowd became slightly commotion. Seeing this, they were ready to go out first.
Coming out of this very depressing place, she found that she had arrived in a completely unfamiliar valley.
The valley is very large, surrounded by towering peaks. Flowers and plants that are very common outside are covered in the entire valley. Some ordinary birds are flying around. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It doesn't look much different from the outside world.
, if you don’t look at the sky.
The entire sky is not very bright, as if the sunlight is blocked by a thick layer of white clouds. Although it looks very bright, I always feel like something is weighing down my heart, as if it is blocked.
"You just came here, you'll get used to it after a while."
Seeing Xiangxiang's look, Heixiang naturally knew what she was thinking. It had already come out. Most of the others were resting around for the time being. Only a few walked towards the only exit to be alert to whether there was any danger outside.
"Have you been here?"
When Xiangxiang heard what the other party said, she raised her eyebrows, looked at her and asked.
She is not a child now. Although she has not fully grown up, she looks like a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She is not as naive as before, and she immediately grasped the key points of her words.
"Of course, you and I went out from here, but you were still young at that time, so it's normal not to remember." Heixiang said disapprovingly without hiding anything.
There is nothing to hide. She already knows her identity, so she will naturally think that this is the place where she was born.
"Why were you born so early?" Xiangxiang looked at the other party carefully. Although the other party's body looked similar to hers, if you look closely, you can also see that the other party's body is more mature, and even his face is not as good as hers.
Childish, as if he were sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Xiangxiang, come here."
When Heixiang was about to say something, Xiangxiang's mother in the distance suddenly shouted to this side, and then smiled, "Your mother called you."
Xiangxiang turned around and looked over, and found that her mother was waving to her, so she walked towards her. She also had many questions in her heart.
As I walked past, there were many men, women and children sitting on both sides. Some were rugged and handsome, some were beautiful girls, and some were old women who looked shaky. However, whether these people were beautiful or not, they all had a strange look in their eyes.
Looking at Xiangxiang made her feel even more uncomfortable.
But she didn't say anything. These seemed to be her mother's subordinates. They came to her mother quickly, and the person next to her happened to report that the matter was over.
"Princess Bo, then I will go over to investigate first. If the other party hasn't discovered it yet, this is our best chance."
"Go ahead and be careful. We'd rather slow down as long as the other party doesn't find our traces."
"Mom, what's the matter?" Xiangxiang bit her lip and asked after the man left.
Her mother is Ao Qing, the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who is also a dragon with pure blood.
"Sit here." Ao Qing patted the green grass next to him and motioned for her to sit next to him, with a warm smile, "I had something to do just now, so I didn't say much to you. Now that I have time, let's have a good chat.
, I still don’t know how you got here all these years. It’s been really hard on you.”
Ao Qing had a sad look on her face, and her sincere tone made Xiangxiang's eyes turn red. She sat next to him obediently. She didn't know how she got here these days, and she has been imprisoned in a dark place.
"I have owed you a lot over the years. I have never fulfilled my responsibility as a mother. You don't know how much I have wanted to see you all these years. The thought of the possibility of suffering makes my heart ache." Ao Qing said.
With two tears, he said with some sadness.
"It's not your fault, it's all..."
Xiangxiang also felt pain in her heart and subconsciously said, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't continue.
I asked this question because my father doted on me very much, even more than his brothers and sisters. He often made time to see me, but I was still young at that time, so I couldn't understand some things, and I did a lot of wrong things.
, but she never talked about her mother's affairs, so she still knows about it now, but what she knows about her father may be because her mother did something to be imprisoned.
At this moment, although she accepted Ao Qing in her heart, she still did not forget Ao Guang, and thought that he was her father. Such a long time could not be erased in just a few days.
"I know, the other party also told me that he treats you very well, which makes me feel relieved. But no matter what, even if I made some mistakes, I won't not tell you the truth. If it weren't for Heixiangla
Come here, I may never see you, so we, mother and daughter, are separated." Ao Qing hugged Xiangxiang's shoulders, stretched her head out from behind her, and said in a sad tone, but her face did not change at all.
"Mom, don't be sad. I'll talk to him later and I'll definitely be able to release you." Xiangxiang was also touched in her heart, and she also hugged Ao Qing.
"You have no hope, but I understand your heart." Ao Qing sat up straight, pressed Xiangxiang's shoulders with both hands, and made the other person face to face with him. He could clearly see the sadness that was brewing on his face. "
Let’s not talk about that for now. Now that you have some time, tell me about your past.”
"Um"
Xiangxiang told Ao Qing everything that had happened since she became conscious, including her level of happiness, level of troubles, and some little secrets that only she knew, without hiding anything at all.
And Ao Qing was also listening to Xiangxiang's story attentively, interjecting to ask questions, being sad with her, being happy with her, and sharing the joy of little secrets with her.
Most of the day passed in a flash, and Ao Qing saw his subordinate walking towards him from the corner of his eye, and then interrupted Xiangxiang's words.
"Pause for a moment. I have time to listen to your story. Now we have to leave here. My brother will soon discover our abnormality, so we leave here now."
Only then did Xiangxiang realize that a long time had passed and the sky was beginning to get dark. If it was almost night, the people around her had already gotten up and started to gather.
"Mother, you go about your business first, I won't disturb you."
Xiangxiang was very polite. After she excused herself, she walked towards the back to find Heixiang.
She is not familiar with the place here, so she would instinctively find someone she is familiar with.
"You've been here for a long time. This is the nectar water I made just now. Drink some of it." Heixiang conjured up two wooden water cups, half a cup of sticky light yellow liquid floating in them, and a stream of it.
The fragrance of flowers comes out from inside, and just by smelling it, you can feel a sweetness entering your lungs, and even the air feels sweet.
Heixiang stretched out two hands, holding a cup in one hand, indicating to Xiangxiang to choose whatever she wanted.
Xiangxiang had no doubt that she was there, so she took the one closest to her and drank it without any ceremony. She also drank the nectar water she prepared several times along the way. The taste was different every time, and it was indeed very good.
drink.
"It's really good to ask this time, much better than the previous times."
As the thick liquid flowed down her throat, the floral fragrance seemed to soak into her body, making her couldn't help but praise it.
"The flowers here are slightly different from those outside, and the natural taste is different." Heixiang said, while drinking the cup in his hand, and then threw it directly, "Let's go, we just need to stay behind, there is no need
Let’s take action.”
At this time, the assembled team began to move. Xiangxiang looked over and found that there were as many as forty or fifty of them.
"Where are we going? Going out?" Xiangxiang asked with some confusion.
When they came in, they did not come through the normal way. Heixiang took her in secretly and came directly to the city here. However, as soon as they came here, Heixiang disappeared. While he was still looking for her,
She was reported to the police when she was seen, and then her father put her under house arrest and asked her to leave.
"Of course not going out. It's heavily guarded over there. It's hard for us people to get through. We naturally walked inside. There's a place for us to stay inside. We'll find other ways to leave here when the time comes." Heixiang said carefully, but
Seeing Xiangxiang's somewhat blank eyes and subconscious nodding, she knew that the other party didn't know anything.
However, this was not what she expected, and it was also the best situation. Others did not tell her any information.
As they advanced, the sky became darker and darker, and the whole world fell into darkness without any light. However, for people like them, these ordinary darkness had no effect on them at all, and they continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.
Xiangxiang didn't know their destination, so she had to keep her head down and follow them, occasionally chatting with Heixiang.
They marched like this for half a day. When the sky started to get slightly brighter, the entire team slowed down. Xiangxiang also discovered that in the far distance, a huge light curtain with colorful lights rose into the sky.
, submerged directly into the highest point of this space and disappeared into the void.
And looking at the past, it seems like a huge city wall is spreading continuously to the left and right, and some individual colorful ribbons fly out from the fluctuating light curtain from time to time, like a beautiful dance, full of splendor, making people want to dance along with it.
"Laohua, are you ready? We only have a quarter of an hour."
At this time, the team had stopped, and everyone was looking at the colorful light curtain in the sky. At the front, Ao Qing asked a very strong man next to him.
"There is absolutely no problem. There are very few people who know about that place, and there are very few guards. We can rush in with just one attack. We have already left before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, but we must have the cooperation of that little guy.
"The old lady rubbed her hands and said with a smile.
"The other party didn't expect to be attacked here, otherwise we wouldn't have a chance."
"It's good that you know." The third princess made a few gestures towards the back, and soon several powerful people came out from behind, "We only have one chance, so we must not fail."
"Don't worry, Third Princess." Laohua puffed up her chest and was quite confident, but a trace of hesitation flashed across her eyes as she continued hesitantly, "But the person stationed there is your nephew, so we may not be able to hold back."
"Go ahead and do it. If the other party wants to die, don't take care of me." The third princess said coldly.
"Third Princess, we will try our best to be merciful."
Laohua was assured that there were no obstacles that could restrain her, and she had greater confidence in her heart. Although she was sure that the third princess didn't care, she still asked one more question. It would be terrible if Qiu Hou settled the account.
Five or six figures rushed towards the distance and disappeared into the darkness. The third princess also began to gather her team. It would not be easy to break through the opponent's defense after a while.
"Xiangxiang, your mother is calling you, and you should come with her."
While Xiangxiang was still whispering to Heixiang in the back, a woman came over and interrupted their conversation.
"Thank you, I'll go over now." Xiangxiang thanked the other party very politely.
"hehe"
The woman obviously didn't expect what Xiangxiang did. She was just stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, looked at her deeply, and then left directly.
"Mom asked us to come over and go together." Xiangxiang turned to Heixiang and said.
"I heard, I'm not deaf."
Heixiang tossed her hair and walked straight ahead, feeling even happier than she was.
"baffling."
Xiangxiang also wanted to ask her what she knew, so upon seeing this, she followed behind and walked forward faster.
"Xiangxiang, I need your help with something this time."
Just when they came to the front, before Xiangxiang could ask Ao Qing what business he had with her, Ao Qing had already spoken.
"What's the matter? Mother's business is mine." Xiangxiang asked curiously.
"Actually, you don't need to do anything more. When we leave later, we need to teleport away, and we need to use a drop of your blood to do it." Ao Qing said with embarrassment on his face, "I know it's not good for you, but
Other than that it’s the best thing to do.”
"Where are we going? Do we have to leave here first?" Xiangxiang nodded. One drop of blood essence didn't consume much, but she always didn't understand why she had to leave here.
"I know you want to know if there is any misunderstanding between us, and you also want me to reconcile with my brother." Ao Qing sighed, "Let's do this. When we leave here, I will tell you the whole thing. What do you think?"
"Um!"
Xiangxiang looked at Ao Qing's serious eyes and knew that there was something she didn't know, so she was about to force out a drop of her blood, but Heixiang grabbed her next door and looked at her in surprise, wondering why she wanted to
Stop yourself.
"Now is not the time. If you wait until you take action over there, it would be a waste to force it out now." Heixiang explained lightly.
When Xiangxiang saw Ao Qing nodding aside, she understood and stood aside.
"As soon as the signal sounds, follow me closely, and don't ask how others will act." After Ao Qing specifically told Xiangxiang, he cast his gaze into the distance.
Not only her, but other people were also looking forward to it, staring ahead, as if something was about to appear, so Xiangxiang also looked ahead curiously.
But apart from those good-looking Caimu, there was nothing. No matter how good-looking things were, they would lose the initial shock after looking at them for a long time. Just when Xiangxiang was about to ask something, a red explosion appeared in the air in the distance.
"Sure, everyone, come with me, the moment of freedom has arrived."
A smile appeared on Ao Qing's face, and then he raised a green wooden staff, the top of which was also inlaid with a green crystal. At this time, it was even more dazzling like a firefly in the dark.
"free!"
"revenge!"
The remaining people shouted excitedly, and aura flowed through them more violently. As Ao Qing flew ahead, everyone began to accelerate towards the front.
"Stop being stunned and leave quickly!"
Heixiang grabbed the somewhat unresponsive Xiangxiang and followed behind the large army.
At the same time, outside where Xiangxiang lived, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, had strolled outside.
"She didn't want to come out, did she?" Ao Guang asked the guard guarding the place.
"Dragon King, you haven't made a sound for a day since yesterday's commotion." The guard said respectfully.
"Little trick, hey, open the door, I'll go see her." Ao Guang didn't pay attention. This kind of thing happened many times, and he even pretended to be dead in the middle, just begging himself to let him out.
The guard immediately unlocked the door and pushed the door open. Looking from the outside, he could only see one-third of the space outside. He had to pass through a wall that looked like a hallway before he could fully enter inside. That was also a fragrant bedroom.
, outside is a small living room.
"Xiangxiang, this time you have to leave anyway. Since you don't want to say how you came in, then don't say it. Anyway, I don't... Xiangxiang?"
As Ao Guang spoke, he walked quickly inside. He swept past the living room outside and continued walking inside. However, when he entered, he was surprised to find that there was no trace of Xiangxiang.
"Come out, I don't want to play hide-and-seek with you. There are things outside that I need to deal with." Ao Guang didn't check in detail and spoke directly, with a hint of majesty in his tone.
In the past few days, he has experienced all kinds of naughty things she does, such as sneak attacks, pretending to be dead, disappearing, etc. He feels the same as when he was a child. He was willing to play more with her before, but now there is something really going on outside, so he can't waste too much here.
time.
"Xiangxiang? Xiangxiang!"
Ao Guang looked around and felt something was wrong. He knew that Xiangxiang was not a naughty child. Normally, he had come out. When he took a closer look at the surroundings, his face suddenly turned livid.
"What's wrong, Lord Dragon King?"
The guard who heard something was wrong outside immediately rushed in, but when he saw a black passage on the wall, he didn't know where it led. Coupled with Ao Guang's ugly face, he seemed to understand something, and his whole body was filled with confusion.
He was stunned, and then he cried sadly.
"I have always been outside. Without Princess Xiangxiang's permission, I have never stepped inside."
