After I left, the devil was distraught

At the moment of Haishi, the night banquet had just come to an end, and Xueqiong was finally able to reunite with her mother.

Tang Hanying was arranged to live in Fengming Palace. At this time, the closed door isolated outsiders and only the mother and son were left.

In the dormitory, Tang Hanying's eyes were reddened soon after seeing the young man's body shape that was much thinner. She held the young man's hands trembling uncontrollably, and her voice contained too much forbearance and sadness:

"Qiong'er, you have suffered, it's my mother who is sorry for you, it is my mother who is incompetent...can't protect you..."

Xueqiong's eyes were red but she was still trying her best not to let the tears fall. He sniffed and smiled and shook his head.

The forbearance in the young man's eyes made Tang Hanying feel sad. She touched Xueqiong's pale cheek carefully, and her voice became much firmer:

"Silly boy, don't be brave. Mother knows that you have suffered a lot. Before you came here, Mother thought about it. You shouldn't suffer this for anyone. If you want to leave, Mother will send you out of here no matter what."

'Mother'

Xueqiong's lips moved, she couldn't help opening her mouth even though she knew she couldn't make a sound, Tang Hanying's words were like a soft light, dispelling the haze that had lingered in his heart for a long time.

Like a child who had had enough of being wronged, he couldn't help but threw himself into his mother's arms.

Many painful emotions from the past filled his heart in an instant. The strength he had pretended for a long time could no longer support him and collapsed. He couldn't help crying in his mother's arms. His thick eyelashes were wet with tears, and they ran across his cheeks drop by drop fell on the woman's shoulders.

Tang Hanying patted Xueqiong's thin back with tears in his eyes, comforting the young man's heartache gently over and over again.

"It's okay, Qiong'er, it's all over, mother is here."

"Mother will definitely send you out of here. From now on... no one will hurt you again."

In the direction that Xue Qiong couldn't see, Tang Hanying's eyes were full of determination without hesitation.

After choking for a long time, she shed an unknown amount of tears, but Xue Qiong suddenly regained her senses.

He shouldn't be like this, every ounce of sadness he showed was a knife piercing his mother's heart, but mother's embrace was too warm and had an irresistible attraction for anyone who was sad.

Xue Qiong regained her composure, and quickly wiped away her tears with her hand. He reluctantly left Tang Hanying's embrace, and shook his head resolutely.

He will not leave, he decided at the beginning and now there will be no change, he is willing to use his life to protect many people behind him.

Tang Hanying sighed, took out the handkerchief to wipe the tears on the boy's face, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

She suddenly realized that she had never heard a word from Xueqiong since she met Xueqiong.

"Qiong'er, why don't you talk to your mother?" Tang Hanying asked anxiously.

Xue Qiong hurriedly avoided her mother's worried eyes and shook her head, clenched her sleeves a little uncomfortable.

He didn't make his mother wait too long, and after a pause, he slowly took out the booklet and jade pen he was carrying with him from the storage ring.

A bad thought suddenly flashed in Tang Hanying's heart, and his voice became more urgent: "Qiong'er!"

Not daring to look into her mother's eyes, Xueqiong hurriedly sat down at the table and began to write on the booklet, and then showed it to Tang Hanying after she finished writing quickly.

"A few days ago, I caught a cold and coughed for a long time. The magic doctor left me medicine and told me not to talk for the time being. Don't worry, mother, my throat is fine."

"Is it really just like this?" Tang Hanying couldn't believe his reason at all with the boy's dodging eyes. She looked at Xueqiong and said slowly, "Okay, then mother will go to Yun Cheng to ask about the specific situation."

Hearing this, Xue Qiong hurriedly got up and grabbed Tang Hanying, shook her head and hurriedly wrote a new line on the paper.

"Mother, I have something to go back first, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow."

He showed Tang Hanying the brochure, but he didn't look up to meet her gaze, because he knew that as long as he looked up, he couldn't hide anything.

After finishing all this, Xueqiong quickly put away the booklet and left Fengming Palace as if fleeing.

"Qiong'er..." Looking at the back of the young man running away, Tang Hanying felt his heart was pierced by a knife, and he was vaguely certain of something in his heart.

----

In the next few days, Tang Han went to visit Xueqiong every day, but the mother and son never mentioned that day again.

Time passed quickly, and it was the fifth day in a blink of an eye, and the sixth day was the day when everyone from the Yaozu left.

The mother and son were talking one by one and listening to the other, and the atmosphere was warm, but there was always a bit of unconcealable sadness in this warmth.

At sunset, Tang Han made an appointment to see them off tomorrow, and Tang Han reluctantly left Shura Hall.

Watching her mother leave, Xueqiong's eyes dimmed a little for a moment, he sighed and sat down at the table, but there were bursts of subtle sounds outside the window.

He stood up and opened the window carefully, and a black paper crane slowly flew into the room and surrounded him.

Xue Qiong stretched out his hand, and the paper crane stopped in his palm.

He opened the paper crane and saw a line of small characters written on it.

"Houshan Observatory, I will always wait for you."

He could recognize the handwriting, it belonged to Yu Yuan, the second prince of the demon world, and this was already the fifth letter in the past few days.

Xue Qiong hesitated for a moment, and finally put on a cloak and left the Shura Hall.

The Observatory Tower is located in the westernmost part of the Demon Palace, which can be regarded as a relatively desolate area, and there are only a few demon servants who sweep away occasionally on weekdays, so Yu Yuan made an appointment to meet here.

Yu Yuan has been sitting on the roof and waiting for a long time. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he sometimes thinks of the first glimpse he had with the boy when he first met him, and sometimes he thinks of the acquaintance at the Yaozu palace banquet.

Suddenly, there were some slight footsteps in the distance, Yu Yuan quickly looked over, and seeing that it was Xue Qiong, he immediately jumped into the air and appeared in front of the young man in an instant.

As soon as he stood still, he asked eagerly, and his excitement was beyond words:

"Qiong'er... are you okay? Has the Demon Lord bullied you?"

Xue Qiong shook her head slowly, and then respectfully saluted the monster clan.

"...It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it..." He greedily looked at the young man in front of him, his voice revealing unconcealable tension: "Qioner, don't be afraid, just wait for me, wait for me..." I will become the Demon Emperor, and I will definitely take you away, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long."

Xue Qiong was startled when she heard that, subconsciously took a step back, bit her lip and thought for a while, then took out the pamphlet and hurriedly wrote a paragraph for Yu Yuan to read.

"Second Highness, please don't say such words again, and don't have these thoughts anymore. Xueqiong told you when I was still in the demon world, I only admire you and have no other thoughts."

After reading Xueqiong's words, Yu Yuan's face paled for a moment, and he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes and murmured: "Qioner...No matter what, I will definitely take you out of the devil world in the future. Even if you If you don't want to be with me, I also hope that you...be well..."

Behind a tree not far away, Ember narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his thin lips tightly, and couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out.

"My lord, don't worry about the second prince." Yu Jin said in a cold voice, pulling the stunned Xue Qiong back a step, her seductive red eyes filled with displeasure.

Seeing the embers that suddenly appeared, Xue Qiong was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes, and clenched her palms nervously.

Yu Yuan looked calm on the surface, but his heart was far less indifferent than on the surface, and he was even slightly impulsive. He wanted to take Xue Qiong back from the man in front of him, but he forced himself to swallow the unwillingness in his heart.

He put away his displeased eyes, respectfully nodded slightly at Ember, and said: "The devil has misunderstood, I have always regarded Xue Qiong as my own younger brother, and I just came here this time to see if he is doing well."

"It's best like this." Taking into account the relationship between the two clans, Ember suppressed the anger in her heart and did not act, but she already hated Yuan to the extreme.

After saying that, Ember pulled Xueqiong and turned around to leave.

At least he didn't make a big fight and started fighting, Xueqiong breathed a sigh of relief, being dragged further and further away by the embers, when he came to the corner, he couldn't help but look back and met the lonely eyes of that person, he couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart. uncomfortable.

But feelings have always been involuntary.
