After I left, the devil was distraught

It was only one step away from the door, but Xue Qiong couldn't help but slow down.

Ember's voice echoed in his mind all the time, he forced himself to lift his foot, and was about to take the last step, but suddenly heard a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.

With a sound of 'dong', Xueqiong's heart trembled fiercely following the sound.

Looking back hastily, what he saw was Ember falling powerlessly to the ground.

"Ember!" Xue Qiong's eyes trembled, and she hurriedly returned to the main hall to hug Ember into her arms, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

There was a wry smile on Ember's pale face, but she shook her head and said with some difficulty: "...I'm fine...don't worry about me."

"What's the matter with you?" Xueqiong's eye circles began to turn red faintly, and the eagerness in her voice was unconcealable: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me what's wrong with you first!?"

The mist in the young man's eyes hurt Ember's heart, he raised his hand tremblingly to caress Xue Qiong's cool cheek, and said in a hoarse voice with complicated eyes: "...Master, don't cry... ..”

Seeing him like this, Xueqiong only felt her heart pricked like a needle.

Not caring about the unspeakable love between the two at the moment, he hastily lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Ember's eyes, and hugged him to help him up, but his palms were caught off guard by a warmth.

The sticky touch was so familiar that Xue Qiong's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked at his hands, and sure enough, he saw the glaring bright red.

"How could there be blood? When did you get hurt?"

Xue Qiong was completely panicked, and after speaking, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tore off Ember's robe, but she saw a shocking scene.

"......how so?"

A bloody scar stretched from his right shoulder to his left abdomen, with bone deep visible.

The wound stung Xueqiong's eyes, and his tears could no longer be controlled from the corners of his eyes.

Anxiously, he wanted to pull the ember up, but found that he couldn't hold the ember at all.

Xueqiong was trembling with anxiety, and immediately shouted to the outside desperately: "Come on! Come on! Shuoyue!"

For the current scene, Ember mercilessly killed himself, so his vision soon became more and more blurred, and then began to turn black in bursts.

In the end, his hand could no longer support it, and it fell to the ground fiercely.

He thought, he made Xueqiong cry for him again.

Xueqiong, don't blame me, I let you go once before, but this time, I can't let go of your hand no matter what I say.

But his current behavior of putting all his eggs in one basket is nothing more than a bet on Xue Qiong's reluctance to him.

The sound of footsteps could be heard beside her ears, Ember closed her eyes with peace of mind, and finally completely lost consciousness.

----

"My God, the master is too pitiful!"

"Such a long, such a deep, such a terrible wound!"

......

In a trance, Ember was awakened by the constant noise coming from his ears. He resisted exhaustion and opened his eyes. Just as he was about to tell the other party to shut up, he met the young man's eyes full of concern.

His anger dissipated in an instant, and he couldn't help but groped and grabbed the boy's sleeve, and said in a dazed hoarse voice: "...Master, can you...don't go... ..."

For a moment, Xueqiong only felt like a stick in her throat. After a long time, he squeezed Ember's palm to comfort her: "Sleep peacefully...I won't go."

Ember seemed to be really comforted, and fell asleep again.

Xue Qiong closed the quilt for Ember again, and wanted to stuff his hands back into the quilt, only to find that the other party had pinched his cuff tightly at some point.

He couldn't help but sighed, but he didn't pull back his sleeves.

Looking back at the demons in the room, Xueqiong reminded helplessly: "Speak quietly, don't wake him up."

The succubus instantly covered her lips, and nodded sincerely.

Xue Qiong nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "When did he get hurt? In the Devil-eating Cave, did he... have a lot of injuries?"

The succubus became excited again when she heard the words, and when she spoke again, she forgot that she promised to keep her voice down.

She answered loudly with excitement on her face: "It was hacked by a demon in the Demon Devouring Nest! The master is always reckless in fights, and his moves are all wounded by heaven and earth, which scares demons very much!"

"Master will be injured every time he fights." Succubus said firmly, even with a hint of pride in his voice: "However, Master is in very good health, and I have never seen him cry out for pain or heal his injuries. Really. It's very powerful!"

Xue Qiong couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and looked at the succubus with displeasure, and said coldly: "Although he is the body of a demon, he can also be injured, bleed, and hurt!"

After speaking sharply, he realized that the succubus was right, and there was no reason for his temper.

Xue Qiong lowered her eyes tiredly, stopped looking at the demon in this room, and said in a hoarse voice: "Forget it, what are you doing with what I'm telling you, you all stand back and let him have a good rest."

Ember had been ill for a whole month with this disease.

The high fever persisted for the first half month, and the whole demon looked groggy. Every time he woke up, he pulled Xueqiong's sleeve pitifully and begged him not to leave.

Xueqiong was helpless and distressed, so she could only accompany him in the bedroom with her clothes untied, but at some point she was coaxed by Ember to lie down with her on the couch.

In the second half of the month, Ember's fever finally subsided, but she still looked sick, but she was getting better day by day.

It wasn't until yesterday that Ember was completely recovered, and Xue Qiong's heart was completely put back in her stomach.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he only thought that he had suffered too many injuries for so many years, so he fell ill overnight so violently.

Because of a soft heart during the period, she agreed to Ember not to leave, although Xueqiong was a little annoyed, she could only stay.

But he was always worried that someone would talk about those things in the past in Ember's ear.

It wasn't until a month had passed in peace that Xue Qiong breathed a sigh of relief.

Presumably he was overthinking, the deeds of those old sesame seeds and rotten millet have probably been forgotten by others.

It's just that he suddenly realized that Ember seemed to be getting more and more presumptuous towards him recently.

At first, she just tugged at his sleeves occasionally, but later she began to hold his hand calmly.

It wasn't until he later realized that things were a bit off track that he realized that Ember would hug him intimately from time to time.

It's definitely not that he thinks too much, this person will come to the bedroom where he lives temporarily as soon as the court affairs are over every day.

Just like this time, as soon as she entered the room, she would lean over and hold his hand with a gentle face, rub his face affectionately, look at him tenderly, and then hug him.

Xueqiong's body tensed for a moment, but she was not willing to push the embers away.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, almost coaxing himself to deceive himself: Ember is just a child's mind, he shouldn't think too much about it.

----

Since Ember died together with the Demon Emperor more than a hundred years ago, in order to atone for her sins and eliminate evil spirits, Xueqiong has been concentrating on cultivation, and cultivation has become his habit until now.

In recent days, he had a vague feeling that his thunder calamity was about to come.

After the result passes through the thunder disaster, he will ascend to immortality.

Or maybe it didn't hold up in the middle, and unfortunately he was hacked to death, which is unknown.

Although he has no obsession with becoming an immortal, the matter of Lei Jie should not be underestimated.What's more, he is a demon body, and Heavenly Dao doesn't have much kindness to their demon clan.

So in the days that followed, Xueqiong practiced more diligently than before.

----

When the thunder came unexpectedly, Xueqiong was taking a nap on the light couch outside the courtyard, and he had just had lunch at that time.

The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, a few not-so-intensive muffled thunders sounded abruptly, and Xue Qiong was awakened suddenly.

He instantly realized that it was his thunder calamity coming, and immediately gathered his spiritual power to prepare for the thunder.

With a bang, golden lightning fell straight down, suddenly hitting the young man in the courtyard.

After receiving the first thunder, Xueqiong realized that he still underestimated the thunder.

There were nine lightning tribulations in Feisheng, and he was already sweating profusely after he took one, and felt a dull pain in his back.

Tianlei is stronger than the other, can he really survive?

At the same time, in the Soul Devouring Hall, Ember became alert the first time she heard the thunder, turned around and disappeared into the hall in an instant.The second thunder struck again unexpectedly, Xue Qiong bit her lip in pain, her face was pale, blood spilled from her shoulders, staining the snow-white brocade robe red.

Seeing the third thunderstorm approaching, Xueqiong hastily gathered spiritual power to block it, and the dazzling flames fell straight on him. He was terrified and subconsciously closed his eyes.

The thunder exploded, but the expected pain didn't come as promised, instead it was hugged into a warm chest.

The familiar cold fragrance hit the tip of her nose, and Xue Qiong came back to her senses, anxiously trying to push Ember away: "Ah Jin, what are you doing? Get out of here!"

Ember held Xueqiong in her arms gently but without losing strength, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you again."

Xueqiong felt relieved for no reason, but her eyes were reddened by a burst of warmth in her heart. He pushed hard to push Ember, but he was always tightly protected in his arms.

"Ash, why are you so stupid?"

Ember carried the last seven thunderbolts, and her entire back was scorched black by the lightning strikes, but she didn't even utter a muffled groan.

At this moment, Ember gradually lost her strength, and Xue Qiong finally struggled out of Ember's embrace.

Looking at his bloody back, Xueqiong choked up: "What are you doing!? The front injury is just right, but the back injury is like this... woo woo..."

Ember gently wiped the tears from the corners of the young man's eyes, smiled palely but said in a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid I will have to trouble Master to take care of him again."

"Why are you so... disobedient..." Xue Qiong frowned, feeling distressed, but she couldn't bear to blame Ember anymore.

The thunder gradually stopped, but a fairy sound suddenly came from the void.
