intoxicating

--Get ill--

Qi Zhao couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept, and occasionally dozed off, and he didn't know how long he had slept.

But he finally caught up with those people. It was a border town. They were about to enter the town, but they stopped and looked back at Qi Zhao who was chasing him.

After days of running around, Qi Zhao is no match for these people at all.

"Why don't you kill this kid?" said the man who stepped on him.

"Hurry up."

Qi Zhao struggled on the ground, trying to catch the figure he had been chasing for a long time, but all he caught in his hands was dry and cracked soil.

Kong Ying, who remained silent all this time, said, "You can't kill him."

"You are a captive, see your own identity."

"But I can still decide my own life or death."

The team leader said, "Knock him out."

"No, you can't take her away..." Qi Zhao dug his nails into the soil, as if this would give him strength, but to no avail, he watched those people take Kong Ying away.

He hated his own powerlessness like never before, and this feeling was enough to burn him.

But he can no longer be impulsive, he wants to take back his beloved in another way.

The night after Qi Zhao left, Gong Lingxi had a nightmare. He couldn't sleep well recently. The matter of Shang Liu had been hanging over his heart like a shadow, and the curse hadn't been removed yet.

The curse was like the whisper of the devil, speaking some bewitching words in his ear from time to time.

"How long has it been?" There was a person leaning against the door, judging from his height, it was a child.

"Kids should sleep well and don't run around in the middle of the night."

"The source of my bad sleep is you."

"Then give you another room?"

"Have you been bewitched?"

"more or less."

"If you deceive people too much, you will always deceive yourself."

"Go to sleep..." Gong Lingxi paused.

In the middle of the night, not only Gong Lingxi, but also one person couldn't sleep.

But it's not that the night is intoxicating, nor is it that common things disturb people.

Ye Rong turned on the light in the room, it was daytime for Ziweixing, and every time this time came, she would send a report to the Martial God Palace.

"He brought back a child named Xunli, whose spirit is embodied as a gun and a bell."

"No sword?"

"No, if my lord is worried, I can bring him back..."

"No need, just watch."

"Except for this child, everything else is business as usual."

After finishing the report, Ye Rong turned off the light, but instead of lying back on the bed, she sat down on the sofa and kept sitting. The night gradually dissipated, but she couldn't see it in the base.

——Xi Country——

The old monarch passed away, and now the successor is Xixi Xiao. Unlike in the competition, he is now sitting on the throne, looking down on all living beings.

And his former friend has also become his confidant, often following him.

"You go out first."

Sui Yan looked at Kong Ying below and fell into hesitation.

"Go out..." Xixi Xiao's tone became severe, "A canary can't do me any harm."

"Yes..." Sui Yan exited the hall.

Only Xixi Xiao and Kong Ying were left in the hall.

He walked down the steps, walked up to Kong Ying, and carefully looked at this person's face.

She also has such a pair of eyes, but they are not as enchanting as the red eyes, but the agility is too familiar.

"Can you play the piano?"

"meeting."

"Then play a song."

Kong Ying walked to the piano, opened the cover, and started playing without asking the title of the song.

Pressing his fingertips on the keys, he was interrupted by a series of noises just after a few notes floated out. Xifang Xiao interrupted the performance in a rough way.

"Not this one."

"I only remember this one."

Kong Ying smiled, like a gentle lady from a great family, looking at him without any fear.

"Come on."

The guard entered, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Take her down to rest."

The room Xixi Xiao prepared for her was very beautiful. If she was a canary trapped in a cage, then Xixi Xiao built the most beautiful cage for her.

"You can't stay here."

As soon as Kong Ying closed the door, she heard someone talking to her, but there was no one in the room.

"I can only stay here because he won't let me go."

"But you, you are not her, you mean and shameless villain, you took advantage of his feelings."

"Then how about you tell him the truth?"

That voice was gone.

——Inside the base——

Gong Lingxi went to see Qi Zhao several times, but she never saw him. Instead, she heard his subordinates complain about the hard training.

Until one day, Ye Rong sent him a message.

Qi Zhao fell ill due to over-training.

The medical conditions here are different from that of Ziweixing. If one gets sick, one has to lie on the bed and rest obediently. Qi Zhao does not care about his high fever and struggles to get out of bed.

"You are a patient now..." Gong Lingxi pushed him back to the bed.

"No, I've already taken the medicine, I'm much better..." Qi Zhao refused to give up and wanted to get up.

But he was two worlds away from Gong Lingxi, and he was sick, so he couldn't struggle at all.

"I know you blame yourself, but it's not a day or two to save her."

"What do you know? You don't care about her safety at all."

"Okay, then you go out now..." Gong Lingxi pointed at the door, "Let the high fever continue to destroy your body, and then you will be infected with bacteria, the wound will worsen, and you won't be able to use any more strength. I can't save myself."

Qi Zhao was not convinced, "Just go, you don't need to worry about me."

As soon as Qi Zhao got up, his head was dizzy, and he fell back on the bed.

Helping Qi Zhao cover the quilt, Gong Lingxi got up and saw Ye Rong standing at the door.

He said, "I thought you wanted him to have an accident."

"He is not our enemy."

"Who is that?"

"you."

Hearing Ye Rong's straightforward words, Gong Lingxi was shocked. He had expected it, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even bother to hide it.

"Does Huajian know?"

"If he knows, he will stop me desperately, because in his eyes, his new wife is not as good as a man..." Ye Rong asked again, "Then will you tell him?"

"will not."

"I also hope that he won't know about it. Whether you die or I die in the end, it's better that he doesn't know anything."

"What about Geng Huang?"

"He's still alive?"

"Go and see, you will know."

"I will, at least we were classmates..." Ye Rong showed a polite smile, and looked at Qi Zhao in the room, "Then, he will trouble you for the time being."

Ye Rong walked further and further away, leaving only Gong Lingxi's back, where he couldn't see, the corners of her mouth gradually pulled down into an ugly arc.

Everything in this world has a price. In order to leave the demon that once imprisoned her, she made a contract with another demon.

Love is a luxury, so extravagant that no amount of money can buy it.

But sometimes, in order to survive, she has to trade these things for fame and status, especially for her who lives in the center of power.

How much she wanted to go back to that time. She hadn't met the so-called elder Ge yet, and she was still in the arena, participating in life-threatening competitions.

There, she didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes, but she had friends and someone who would protect her. That person often spoke sarcasticly and didn't care about others, but he couldn't bear bullying.

It was already night when Qi Zhao woke up from his drowsiness. The weakness of his body told him to continue to rest, and the short sleep made him unwilling to just lie down.

After struggling a few times, he heard someone say in his ear, "You're awake, do you want to eat?"

"You... haven't left yet?"

Although Qi Zhao was burned out, he still remembered that he said something very unpleasant.

"If I leave you alone, then who will bring her back..." Gong Lingxi picked up the porridge beside the bed, "Come, eat something."

Qi Zhao said, "Sorry, my words were too harsh."

"If you don't continue, do you still want me to feed you?"

Qi Zhao took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful hurriedly, unexpectedly burned his mouth, and it took him a long time to recover, Qi Zhao said, "I will take care of myself, you go back."

"It's too late today, I'll stay here first."

"I'm not a child anymore, I won't lie to you."

"It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night."

"Then you can sleep. By the way, where do you sleep? If there is no vacant room, there is still an empty bed here."

"Need not."

"We lived in a dormitory before, so you don't have to be polite."

"I'm not being polite."

"Then what do you need, just tell me."

"Good night..." Gong Lingxi closed the door, forcibly interrupted the conversation, went to the prepared room again, closed the door, and heard irritating whispers in her ears.

"From now on, you will be a faithful believer in God. You will only be loyal to God and only listen to God's words. Except for the only God, the rest are evil spirits."

These are the words Fu Yiping heard after taking the oath. These words are imprinted deep in his mind, making Fu Yiping absolutely loyal to the corpse country.

Not only that, Fu Yiping's mind was also engraved with hatred for the Ziwei Empire, and these hatreds engulfed Gong Lingxi's thoughts and tore his brain.

And recently, this hatred has extended to the Yuan Empire.

This was not Fu Yiping's idea, but the hatred of that mermaid's genocide.
