After I left, the devil was distraught

'Yuncheng, wake up, don't go, I only have you. '

Xue Qiong helplessly blocked the bleeding hole in Yun Cheng's chest, eagerly shaking his body in an attempt to wake him up.

Behind the young man, Hu Qian struggled to break the wolf's hand from her neck, stood up slowly and walked to Xue Qiong's side step by step.

Her blood-soaked face was full of madness, and her bottomless eyes were filled with hatred.

She turned Xue Qiong's face, let him look at her and said slowly:

"Watching him die, does it hurt you?"

"When my brother died, my heart ached as much as yours."

"Because you are the young master, your life is more expensive than my brother's. We demon lives are cheap, so your mother dug out my brother's demon pill for you. You live, but he dies."

"The law of heaven is not fair, so I can only rely on myself. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I just want to get back my brother's demon pill."

Xue Qiong was forced to look into Hu Qian's eyes full of hatred, and couldn't help remembering that he had asked his mother about Yaodan back then, but every time her mother changed the topic and kept her mouth shut, he didn't ask anymore.

So, is that so?

Xueqiong opened and closed her lips tremblingly, and slowly made a mouth shape:

'sorry. '

Hu Qian smiled with tears in her eyes, and began to use her spiritual power to peel off the demon pill from Xue Qiong's body.

Xueqiong whimpered in pain, but did not resist at all.

After taking out the demon pill mercilessly, Hu Qian pushed Xueqiong away, turned and left the Shura Hall.

Xueqiong lay on the cold ground panting in pain for a long time, struggling to stand up on the stool, wanting to see Yuncheng again before she died.

He reached out to touch Yun Cheng's cheek, but suddenly noticed that Yun Cheng's little finger was trembling.

He is still alive!

Tears welled up in her eyes, Xueqiong gathered herself together, tremblingly took out the dagger from the storage ring and cut off the chain on her feet.

'I won't let you die. '

He finally squeezed Yun Cheng's palm, let go of the table and walked towards the door unsteadily.

But after only two steps, he lost his strength and fell to the ground. He didn't care about his sore knee and wanted to stand up.But after a lot of effort, he still couldn't do it. The temperature on his body was gradually passing away, and he knew that he had no time.

Unable to stand up, he has to crawl out, he can't just watch Yun Cheng die, with this sliver of willpower, Xue Qiong struggled to climb over the threshold, moving inch by inch towards the gate.

The blood stained the snow red, leaving a long red mark where the boy crawled.

Xueqiong didn't dare to stay for a moment, and climbed to the door with her last strength.

He reached out to push the door open, only to find that the door...was locked.

The gate is close at hand, but he can't get out, nor can he save Yun Cheng.

He muttered to himself in a daze: "Save Yuncheng." '

Consciousness gradually blurred, a snowflake suddenly fell on her hand, Xueqiong raised her eyes to look at the sky in a trance, only to find that it was snowing again.

Just like... the day when I first met Ember.

It was snowing heavily, and the wind was biting.

Finally, he thought, he was going to die.

Well, maybe after death, he can be freed, and he can forget about that person.

If there is an afterlife, he would like to be a piece of snow, or a drop of morning dew, so as not to let him regenerate his spiritual consciousness.

In this world, he actually didn't want to come again.

In the heavy snow, the boy's last move was to pull down the red rope that hung the rabbit pendant around his neck. He opened and closed his lips and said something, then closed his eyes heavily.

He is saying, farewell to the king...

----

Inside Fengming Hall, Ember is sitting in the corridor in the courtyard and meditating.

After leaving the Yaoguang Palace just now, he didn't know where to go to the huge magic palace.

As he was walking, he walked into Fengming Palace unknowingly, sat down where that person had sat, and inexplicably recalled the situation when he first met that person.

The bright red wedding gown, the peerless face, and the eyes that are half-hearted, there was still light in the eyes of the young man at that time.

Now he has become haggard, lost in spirit, and in a trance, as if everything... is caused by him.

Thinking of this, Ember could not help but sigh.

From now on, he should treat Xueqiong better.

He suddenly discovered that he was actually afraid of losing Xueqiong.

After thinking about it, Ember decided to go back to Shura Hall to have a look.

He got up and was about to leave, but suddenly there was a dull pain in his chest, and the demon core in his body immediately started to riot, trying to get out of his body.

Ember was forced to spit out a mouthful of blood, so she had no choice but to sit down again and start to suppress.

It took him a while to suppress the riot in his body.

He stood up again and was about to leave, but there was a sound of footsteps not far away, followed by the sound of a demon attendant blocking him.

"Magic doctor, please stay. Your Majesty is inside. I ordered that no one should disturb me. Please go back first."

"Get out of the way, I want to find Junshang! If it's too late, everything will be too late!"

Ember was already upset, and subconsciously frowned when he heard it. He strode to the door and asked in a cold voice: "What's the matter?"

"Chen...Chen...have something to say...have something to say..."

Seeing Ember, the magic doctor who was bluffing just now became hesitant to speak, and he hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Ember became more and more impatient, and urged unhappily: "What's the matter?"

Hearing the words, the magic doctor raised his eyes to look at Ember, he sighed for a long time, then suddenly knelt down straight on the ground, trembling as if he was going all out, and spoke again:

"Your Majesty, Su Qingyao is not sick. He is just pretending. Only because I have a pair of children in his hands, I will help him deceive the Lord, and will... mutilate Your Highness the Demon Queen many times."

"Your heart is tormented and you can't sleep at night. I really don't want to continue to make mistakes, so I will tell the truth. What I said just now is not half a lie."

"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime. I know that death is inevitable. I drank the poison before I saw you."

"I just beg your lord... to spare my family, they don't know... don't know..." The magic doctor's face suddenly turned livid , Clutching his heart, staggered and fell to the ground, and soon died.

After hearing this, Ember's pupils constricted, and his body couldn't help shaking. He didn't care about other things and immediately cast a spell and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, embers appeared outside the gate of Shura Hall.

The tip of his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood, the whole yard was quiet without a single sound, and there was no magic attendant around, so he stopped outside the gate involuntarily.

He seemed to have anticipated something, and covered the door with both hands, but he never had the courage to push it open.

----

A drop of clear tears slowly fell from the corner of the man's eyes, and finally disappeared into the snow.

After a long time, Ember shook the door lock with trembling hands, and pushed open the closed door.

What is the scene like in the yard?

The heavy snow that had fallen for a long time still could not cover up the blood-stained trace on the ground from the dormitory to the gate, and the blood-stained picture scroll was generally inexplicably beautiful.

The young man's pure white brocade robe was stained red with blood, which looked shocking. He just lay motionless on the ground with his eyes closed, peacefully as if he had fallen asleep.

After a long time, Ember muttered and knelt down on the ground: "Xueqiong... get up quickly, the ground is so cold, why did you fall asleep here?"

He hugged the boy into his arms, trying to warm his already cold body.

Trembling, he took out the jade pendant that the young man was clutching tightly in his hand, and after a few tries, he successfully tied the red string back around the young man's neck. Opening:

"Xueqiong, don't you like velvet the most? How could you accidentally drop it? I'll help you put it back on, so don't lose it in the future."

After finishing all this, Ember hugged the boy and stood up slowly.

Just about to wait for him to leave, there was a 'jingle' sound from the ground. Ember looked down and found that the kit bag that never left the boy's waist had fallen to the ground, and the sound was made by the bell hanging from it.

With a thought, the kit floated up from the snow and slowly fell into his hands.

In a daze, Ember remembered that he had noticed this kit several times, but every time he mentioned it, Xue Qiong would dodge it, as if she didn't really want him to pay attention.

This time... Xueqiong fell asleep, so he wanted to take a sneak peek.

Ember hugged Xueqiong and sat down on the steps, untied the drawstring of the kit, and finally saw what was inside.

There is only a small folded paper inside, which looks crumpled and has some brown marks.

With trembling hands, Ember unfolded the note.

The blood on the note had already dried up and changed color, but the golden handwriting was still clear. It was the jade pen he made, and the words written would never lose their color.

"One year ago, in Mount Guning, I met you when I went to fetch water from the river. It was I who dug out the demon pill and saved you. It was I who exchanged my life for yours, not Su Qingyao."

The heart suddenly became very painful, as if being ruthlessly pierced by blunt knives one after another.

Ember was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound, even though he was sitting on the steps, his body still shook involuntarily.

Guning Mountain, Guning Mountain, no wonder it felt familiar at the beginning, it was the place where he almost died.

It turned out...it was Xueqiong who saved him.

No wonder he lost his composure and struggled so badly that day, and even wrote those three words on his clothes with blood.

No, he said it more than once, he told him when he was still able to speak.

But at that time... He not only didn't believe it, but also hurt him like that.

Thinking about it now, what kind of mentality did he write these words with?

After so many chances, Xueqiong never thought of letting him know, and even didn't want to let him know, how desperate must he be?

Why didn't he believe in Xueqiong at the beginning?

It was because of the demon pill. Su Qingyao didn't have a demon pill in his body, but Xue Qiong did, so he never suspected it.

Ember tremblingly put her hand between the boy's cold brows, and after probing for a while, she found that there was no demon pill in his body.

No wonder the demon core in his body rioted and wanted to leave just now. It was because the demon core sensed that something happened to his master and wanted to save his master.Thinking of this, Ember's blank eyes suddenly trembled.

By the way, demon pill!

Xueqiong cannot and will not die.

In a panic, he took out the demon pill that had already been integrated with him in his body and stuffed it into Xueqiong's mouth.

He stared at the young man intently, for fear of missing a slight change.

But after all... nothing has changed.

The demon pill quickly turned into traces of aura and drilled back into his body.

Xueqiong's mind and soul were completely destroyed, except for this body, there was nothing left, and the demon pill could not save him.

Ember stood up slumped, and staggered towards the main hall holding the lifeless young man in her arms.

At the beginning, Xueqiong exchanged her own life for many of his, but what did he do?
