Chapter 283: Passing Through the Mist
Chapter 283: Passing Through the Mist
Tao Yanyan's heart was filled with fear. She followed the Demon Lord closely and watched the ship she was on rush into the unknown fog.
There was a bright moon in the sky, but there was nothing but fog in front of me, which made me feel indescribable fear.
Tao Yanyan glanced at the Demon Lord beside him and asked curiously: "Do you do this every time you go out and come back?"
The Demon Lord glanced at her and said, "I seldom go out. I have only been out two or three times since I was a child. This time I went the farthest, to the capital of the Great Zhou."
Tao Yanyan pouted: "Then how did you know of my existence?"
There was no need for the Demon Lord to hide it from her: "The Demon Cult's Great Protector was out on business and saw you at a dock. He thought you looked very much like my deceased grandmother, so he told me."
Tao Yanyan was speechless: "I went out that one time and I actually ran into you guys. But I have to tell you, there are thousands of people in the world and it is possible for them to look alike. It is too arbitrary for you to say that you and I are related just because we look alike. Moreover, blood testing is nonsense. You have seen it with your own eyes before in Qixia Mountain. People's blood is divided into blood types, which are roughly divided into four types. Some people have the same blood type in their bodies. You can't say that they have the same blood as you and you are related."
The Demon Lord didn't quite understand what she meant and looked at her suspiciously, only to see the seriousness in her eyes, which didn't look like she was lying at all.
"Whether your blood can save me or not, you will know after you take the elixir made by the Taoist priest. Don't worry, it won't take too much blood from you, and I will compensate you." The Demon Lord said seriously.
Tao Yanyan rolled his eyes at him fiercely: "The blood has run dry, and the person is dead. He has no right to receive your compensation. Besides, bleeding will cause a cut, which is very painful! I am so beautiful and so afraid of pain, and you actually want to cut me. Do you have any heart?"
The Demon Lord looked ahead and sneered: "Oh, heart? I have suffered from heart disease since I was a child. I wish I didn't have a heart, so I wouldn't have to suffer the pain of every attack."
Seeing his hard-hearted look, Tao Yanyan was furious. She felt that no matter how much she talked, it would be useless. She stamped her feet in anger and said, "Humph, if I had known I would not have saved you yesterday!"
After saying that, a man walked to the side sullenly and sat down, feeling very annoyed.
The Demon Lord looked at her. For some reason, this ruffled look seemed a little cute.
The guardian stood not far away, listening to the conversation between the two. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go over and explain to the Demon Lord how the eldest lady saved him.
As a man, he felt that the young lady was really willing to risk her life, and the Demon Lord was a bit ungrateful by treating his savior like that.
The Demon Lord was called away by the guardian reluctantly.
"What is it that has to be said now? Don't you know that there's so much smoke outside that we need to keep an eye on it?" The Demon Lord said in an unhappy tone.
The guardian did not dare to waste time, so he quickly recounted Tao Yanyan's story of how he rescued the Demon Lord when he was unconscious yesterday. The Demon Lord's originally calm and handsome face turned red little by little, and even the tips of his ears slowly turned red.
The Demon Lord, who has had a heart disease since childhood and has never had physical contact with a woman, is now a little panicked.
"Why didn't you stop her? She and I are half-siblings, how could she break the rules?" the Demon Lord said angrily.
What made him even more angry was how he would face Tao Yanyan in the future.
The guardian was afraid of being punished, so he quickly told the story of the danger at that time: "My lord, it's not that I didn't try to stop you, it's just that time was tight. If it was any later, I'm afraid you would..." He didn't dare to say the words "die" and stopped talking.
Seeing that the demon lord looked unhappy, he had no choice but to say: "The young lady is the kindest, most loyal, and calmest woman I have ever met. In that situation, no one else would have been able to save people, but she was only concerned with saving you. She was completely desperate and didn't care about her reputation. It's really admirable!"
The Demon Lord sighed and said, "Stop talking. Just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone about it in the future."
When he returned to the cabin, he saw Tao Yanyan was still angry, so the Demon Lord walked over hesitantly and said, "I know everything about you saving me yesterday. You... don't use this method again in the future. It's not good for your reputation."
Tao Yanyan: "..."
If I save you again next time, I will just be a little dog with no memory!
Seeing that she ignored him, the Demon Lord said awkwardly: "Let's ask the Taoist priest and see if we can use less blood. I won't cut a big wound on you."
Tao Yanyan roared inwardly, his face looked cold.
Suddenly, the boat shook, and it was obvious that people were not able to stand steadily. The demon lord said solemnly: "You stay here, I will go out and take a look." After taking two steps, he turned back and said: "Don't be afraid!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the cabin without looking back and went to the deck.
Tao Yanyan inexplicably felt that the Demon Lord's attitude towards him had taken a sharp turn after he knew that he had saved him.
She curled her lips, it seemed that asking him to owe her a favor did have some effect.
After shaking for a while, the boat gradually stabilized, but within a cup of tea, the boat began to shake again, this time with a greater amplitude than the last time.
Tao Yanyan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He dug out all the people in his life from his mind and said goodbye to them one by one.
Goodbye to my parents from the previous life, and goodbye to my parents and the Queen Mother in this life.
Goodbye Jin'an, Xuan'er, goodbye He Linzhang.
……
As she silently said goodbye to her family, lover and friends, the ship stabilized again.
Tao Yanyan couldn't help but stand up and look outside.
I saw a red sky appearing above the sea, along with the gray fog and the howling sea in the dark night. Everyone who saw it was terrified.
"My Lord, this night is very strange," said the guardian.
The Demon Lord looked at the red curtain in the sky and thought: "Continue to accelerate at full speed and get out of the fog array as soon as possible!"
Although I have successfully broken through the fog several times, tonight is indeed different from the past. What's going on with this red curtain? What happened to the bumps just now?
The Demon Lord was also a little flustered.
After traveling for a while and being bumpy twice, their boat slowly returned to normal.
At this time, the sky was already showing a hint of paleness, and daybreak was about to begin.
Tao Yanyan had spent the whole night with her eyes open and was now very tired. Seeing that the boat was about to pass through the fog, the Demon Lord asked her to go back and rest first.
Tao Yanyan was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he returned to his small cabin.
In a daze, I was embraced in a warm embrace.
Smelling the familiar scent, Tao Yanyan leaned into his arms in a daze and slowly opened her eyes.
A familiar face came into view, and Tao Yanyan thought she was dreaming because she missed He Linzhang too much.
Her eyes were moist, and she raised her hand to gently touch his slightly bearded face: "It's so prickly!"
