Clouds, fairy waterfalls, flying cranes, spiritual beasts... Between the peaks, there is a river flowing, and between the two banks, on the cliffs, there are colorful fallen flowers.
Xuanyuan Palace.
The tribe under the palace is where the Gongsun clan lives, and the caves in the peaks are also home to tamed demon clans one after another.
Huge birds and beasts were crossing the water, blue waves were rippling, and children were playing and enjoying themselves by the river...if it hadn't been for the sound of a horn that destroyed the tranquility at this moment.
The women were busy taking their children home, while the men in the tribe rushed to the palace on the mountain. At the same time, the Kun tribe monster clan living in the cave also flew away in the clouds.
In the square outside Xuanyuan Palace, the warriors of the Gongsun clan formed a formation. Although the demon clan on one side could not line up in an orderly manner, they tried their best to stand in an orderly manner.
They, they, try to be as quiet as possible, just because standing at the palace gate is the emperor here, named Xuanyuan, the descendant of the common master of the world...Xuanyuan Tiexin.
"Meet the Palace Master!"
"Meet the Palace Master!"
Even though the outside human race has had emperors one after another, they still willingly admit that he is the real emperor. But... Xuanyuan no longer calls himself emperor.
"Do you know why I am in such a hurry?" Xuanyuan Tiexin's voice fell on everyone's ears... This is the most powerful person in the world today.
The people below were whispering to each other that this horn was called the "Jingtian Horn" and would only be sounded when there was a major incident in the palace or when Xuanyuan Palace needed to go out for an expedition.
"Back to the palace master, my subordinates... don't know."
"My palace master, I have to punish one person today." Xuanyuan Tiexin looked at all the people and monsters below with a cold face, "The person I am punishing is my daughter, Xuanyuan Xiruo! And... myself!"
"What? Punishing the princess? This... I don't know what is going on?" The lowly people stood up one after another.
"Gui Qianyi!" Xuanyuan Tiexin waved his sleeves.
Immediately, an old man with gray and black hair from the demon group walked out with a serious expression. He opened the rest of his robe and knelt down.
"Let me ask you, when we go to fight against strange demons, what kind of crime should any of my descendants from Xuanyuan Palace who escape before the battle be punished?" Xuanyuan Tiexin asked in a deep voice.
"Report to the Palace Master, if you are found guilty... you should be beheaded." Gui Qianyi lowered his head, his voice seemed a little hollow.
I don’t know why Xuanyuan Tiexin suddenly mentioned this matter... but many people seem to have guessed what happened. A few months ago, Xuanyuan Palace went out for a large-scale invasion of strange demons. The battle was extremely fierce. Xuanyuan Palace
It even damaged the foundation and severely damaged the vitality.
During this tragic battle, some young generals and monsters in the clan fled privately... Afterwards, the strange demons were wiped out, and these deserters were also captured one after another.
As for the day, it’s almost time for this group of deserters to be interrogated and executed.
"I'll ask you again, what kind of crime do you deserve if you release criminals in the palace privately?"
"Discuss the crime...discuss the crime..."
"explain!"
"The crime shall be...the person shall be stripped of his strength and be struck by lightning. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be whipped during the lightning strike..."
"Very good!" Xuanyuan Tiexin nodded, then stepped out and walked down the steps step by step, "Xuanyuan Xiruo privately released fifty-seven deserters, thirty-nine monsters, and punished ninety-nine lightning strikes and nine dragon whips.
Nineteen punishments...come and be punished!"
"Palace Master, think twice, you must not do it, you must not do it!!"
"I will be punished! The golden-armored warrior will obey the order and be punished! Violators will be expelled, their cultivation will be revoked, and they will be expelled from Xuanyuan Palace!"
"Palace Master, think twice, think twice! Princess Xiruo is still young and cannot bear such punishment..."
"Bring the person out! No one can ask for mercy!"
In the palace, several golden-armored generals escorted out a haggard-looking girl who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old...and slowly led her to the execution platform, where she was tied to a dragon pillar.
"Execution!"
Suddenly, the sky flashed, and a huge thunder struck down. This was the divine thunder released by the secret treasure in Xuanyuan Palace... The huge thunder struck down on the girl, and a scream suddenly spread throughout the square.
At the same time, a whip bearer slowly walked onto the execution platform. The whip in his hand was specially made from the long tendons of overseas dragons. When he hits people, it can directly whip the soul and hurt the heart.
"Princess... I'm offended."
The long whip struck the girl's back hard, causing the skin on her delicate back to be torn open immediately... She was already unconscious after being struck by the thunder, but now that the dragon whip hit her again, she suddenly woke up from the pain.
Lightning strikes, whippings, lightning strikes, whippings, and screams sounded out in the square... Both the Gongsun clan and the Kun tribe of monsters turned their faces away at this moment.
Xuanyuan Tiexin's will cannot be changed... Princess Xiruo is naughty but cute, kind-hearted, and loved by everyone. However, under the majesty of Xuanyuan Tiexin, everyone and the monsters are in pain in their hearts.
The thunder continued, the screams continued, and every moment became more and more sad... The girl who was tied to the dragon pillar was tortured to the point that she no longer resembled a human being.
Finally... the girl insisted that she didn't know anymore. No matter how the thunder struck, no matter how hard the whip was, there was still no reaction.
"That's enough! Ninety-nine, that's enough! Palace Master, that's enough!" The people below, all the monster clans, knelt down one after another with tears streaming down their faces, "Palace Master, stop!"
Finally, the ninety-ninth lightning strike was completed, and the ninety-ninth dragon whip was also finished... The man holding the dragon whip knelt directly on the execution platform.
I saw Xuanyuan Tiexin snorting coldly, "Now remove Xuanyuan Xiruo Xuanyuan's name, and spend ten years in Chouyingjian!"
After saying that, Xuanyuan Tiexin waved his sleeves and walked into the deserted Xuanyuan Palace hall.
…
Chou Ying Jian is the place where Xuanyuan Palace is used to imprison felons and demons who have done a lot of evil. Here, all cultivation and demon power cannot be used, so one has to wear shackles and handcuffs and be soaked in the ice river every day.
After Xiruo came down from Chuxingtai, it took her nearly a year to recover from her injuries, and then she began to bear the immersion in the glacier.
The cold was bone-chilling, and the power of the Xuanyuan Royal Family was imprisoned. It was no different from ordinary people... The girl was dragged out of the glacier almost every day, almost escaping death.
She lived in a cave with only a stone bed.
"Princess, princess, this is a medicinal soup made with blood ginseng. Drink it. It can ward off the cold."
When she first woke up, Xiruo shivered... Once again she lost consciousness due to the cold in the glacier, and was dragged back to the cave by the watcher.
Looking at the steaming medicinal soup, she had the urge to hold it up and drink it all, which almost made her lose her rationality, "Gui Qianyi, my father said that no one is allowed to see me in the past ten years, and even more so
You are not allowed to treat me well in any way. This year, the guards outside have been changed one after another. Are there still few who have been punished? "
"This old slave is already this old. If the palace master punishes me, can he really give me cramps and peel off my skin?" Gui Qianyi sat down and said earnestly: "Princess, your temper is really the same as that of your father. The past ten years have been glacial.
If you drink it, you won’t be able to hold on even if you are of royal blood. Listen to me and drink the medicinal soup.”
Xi Ruo shook her head, lay down directly, and turned around, "If you really want to help me, just leave and let me have a good rest and regain my strength."
Gui Qianyi sighed, looked at the gradually cooling medicinal soup, and sighed: "Princess, do you regret letting those sinners go?"
"If there is anything to regret, let it go... It's not like I don't know the consequences." Xi Ruo whispered: "They are not of the age to go to the battlefield... What happened to Xuanyuan Palace? Who made the rules for Xuanyuan Palace
Do our children have to suffer this kind of fate? If he doesn’t let go... I’ll let him go!”
"Princess, in fact, your father's heart bleeds every time he executes a person. Do you think he really can't bear to look at such young faces, carrying their fate and being buried in the mouth of a strange demon?" Kame Qianyi
He sighed: "But this is an ironclad rule. Your father... he can't help himself. He can't break the rules in the palace."
"I know." Xi Ruo said quietly: "I know that the place where he shed the most tears was in front of the sinner's grave, when he was the only one. Daddy... Daddy can't make mistakes, so... then...
Let me make the mistake for him."
"You father and daughter..."
…
…
Snapped!
I can’t remember how many times it was, it seems I have become numb... I don’t know why I think of that long-ago thing.
In the mirror, nothing seems to have changed.
You can't do anything.
This sentence rang in my ears, brain, and heart over and over again, like a mantra carved into my bones.
"The power of a true dragon can make you invincible in the world. You can change the pattern of the world, but you can't change people's hearts. You want to change people's hearts, but Wang still walks out of the Dragon Sealing Stone, and millions of people still die. This country
It’s still a mess…you can’t do anything.”
The blows did not stop, Long Xiruo went from being dazed to being frightened again, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood were like flashes of light in front of her eyes.
"They are not wrong, they are trying to survive. They are not wrong, they are also just trying to survive. And you, inherit the power of the real dragon, and also inherit the fate of the real dragon. Times are changing, the human race and the monster race are declining and falling, you
You can only stand on the side of prosperity, and you are trying to balance both sides... The demon clan respects you, and the human clan respects you, but you can't do anything. You dare not side with the human clan, and you dare not favor the demon clan. Invincible in this world,
You still can't do anything."
"do not talk……"
"You are weaker than anyone else, you are more cowardly than them, and you are more cowardly than them. You do nothing and watch the self-development of Tao demons and humans with cold eyes, not because you are superior, but because you
You can't do anything...because whatever you do will be wrong, the humans will point at you, and the monsters will resent you. You are afraid, so you dare not do anything."
"shut up!!!"
"No one pities you, because they all think you deserve it. Because you have invincible power, because you are the guardian of China... How can the guardian of China not be strong? The guardian of China cannot lose, and the guardian of China cannot lose.
Guardians cannot make mistakes. You need to be smart and have insight into the world. You cannot be superior, but you can only be superior, so that you can meet everyone's expectations... However, you can't do anything."
"Asshole!! Asshole! Asshole!! I'll kill you!!!"
"You can't really kill anyone, because you are almost holy in their hearts. Behind every word you say and everything you do, there are countless voices talking about you. Those are either smart, or
Self-righteous, or pretentious, or arrogant, or just talking about it, or a gentleman, or a villain, countless comments, countless standards are given to you. You can't refute, because you are a real dragon, so you...
Still can’t do anything.”
"What do you want from me?! What do you want from me!!!"
She didn't know when she could move, as if she didn't realize it... She suddenly stood up and grabbed Luo Qiu's collar with both hands, "You think I'm willing! You think I'm willing! You think I'm willing!
!!You think I am willing!! My step is wrong, my words are wrong, I am guilty of even breathing, I shouldn’t exist, right!!”
"Then what do you want?" Luo Qiu asked softly.
"I also want to do nothing and don't come to me for any troublesome things! Dragon of China? Fuck you!! I also want to stay at home and watch TV series all day long! I also want to be a keyboard warrior and fuck around
You don’t have to be responsible!! I also want to find a man!! I also want to just be an ordinary person and live in a dream!!! You think I don’t want to! You think I don’t want to!! You think I don’t want to!!!”
She hit Luo Qiu's chest with all her strength, "I thought about it... I thought about it all!! Why did you appear in front of me!! Why did you hit me!! Why did you hit me?
!!Why, why, why do you do it!!!”
In her angry voice, there was a low hoarseness when the strings were vibrating. The little girl clutched Luo Qiu's clothes, lowered her head, and beat his chest from strength to weakness, "Why... hit me?"
…”
"Are you willing to use the power of a real dragon to get everything you want?" Luo Qiu asked softly.
Long Xiruo stopped suddenly, opened her eyes, and watched her tears dripping down. After the drops melted into the man's clothes, she slowly raised her head.
"are you willing."
She slowly opened her mouth, and something in her throat seemed to want to break out... These words seemed to be the bowl of blood ginseng medicinal soup that was placed in front of her many, many years ago.
"are you willing."
The sound could not be heard, but the place it conveyed was in her heart, where she was so young and soaked in the glacier.
"I..." Long Xiruo's lips moved slightly.
At this moment, she and Luo Qiu's eyes met... This man possesses more powerful power than the true dragon inheritance. This man can truly change the world and turn all sentient beings upside down as long as he is willing.
Incomparably powerful, she seems to be another person...she has the ability to solve any problem no matter what.
Perfect.
Immaculate.
"are you willing."
She shuddered suddenly, and the words that rushed to her mouth disappeared in an instant. She suddenly grabbed Luo Qiu's palm and bit it hard.
While biting, she looked firmly into the man's eyes. But Luo Qiu removed all power to protect herself and allowed her to bite his palm to bleed.
"I can only hold on for ten seconds at most." Luo Qiu whispered: "You have to let go within ten seconds, Miss Long, otherwise I'm afraid you will be injured."
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four...
He and she were still looking at each other, and Long Xiruo could see a look of pain in this man's eyebrows... He was enduring it, but his eyes were still so gentle.
She knew that he had always been very gentle.
three.
two.
one.
open.
…
"Recover me..." Long Xiruo climbed off Luo Qiu's body and looked at the man who made her feel more and more flustered. "What you said before, don't even think about denying it."
"Of course." Luo Qiu smiled slightly.
At this time, the bone wound on his palm recovered bit by bit, and the blood that spread out also flowed back bit by bit. Even the blood stained on Long Xiruo's lips also separated and returned bit by bit.
The palms of my hands are as white as ever again.
There was something invisible and seemingly impossible to break on his body... At this moment, she felt exactly what she felt, as well as the endless power coming from the earth.
The clothes did not appear to be broken due to changes in the body, but as the body recovered, the clothes also changed in size little by little.
When she returned to her original self, she was unscathed.
"Miss Long's condition looks much better." Luo Qiu stood up from the chair, "Then, I won't disturb you."
Luo Qiu smiled and walked past Long Xiruo.
"Wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?"
Long Xiruo gritted his teeth and turned around, "Did that stinky girl Su Zijun ask you to come?"
Luo Qiu smiled and did not answer the question. He just pointed at the cake on the table and said, "Don't waste it. It's rare to make it."
Seeing Luo Qiu walk out of the door and about to disappear into the corridor, Long Xiruo stamped his feet and said angrily: "You bastard!!! Don't think this can make things even!!! What do you think you did to me?
Just one bite and everything will be gone!! I won’t let you go!! Profiteer, bastard, bastard, stinky man!!”
She didn't know if he had put these words into her heart, she just watched him leave completely... and then gently touched her lips.
