Sha Qian Mo appeared at this important moment, like a light in the night, so warm Hua Qian Gu was speechless. She though jiejie would not come, did not think he would arrive at the most critical time.
She took two steps forward, wanting to hug jiejie.
But Sha Qian Mo smirked, not bothering to glance at her, as if they were strangers, he looked down at them and ridiculed: “I didn’t expect a day would come when Mount Chang Liu’s disciples are pathetic like this, one, two, three, four…… Oh! There are four disciples of the three Heads!”
“Who are you?” Wu Qing Luo was the first person to recover, but her eyes were not calm. Such extreme beauty, the eyes could cause a fever with just a casual sweep.
“Me? Hahahahaha……” Sha Qian Mo laughed, the world faded, such beauty, so beautiful it was difficult to know the gender.
Luo Shi Yi was the only one among the disciples who knew him, but he was unconscious. The rest just joined Chang Liu, they knew the name but did not know what he looked like.
Cui Wei was surprised to see him, bowing down on the ground.
“Paying respect to Demon Lord.”
Even his voice was shaky, the mirage was huge, but it seemed to shrink when kneeling before Sha Qian Mo.
They were shocked.
“You’re a demon from the demon realm, Sha Qian Mo!” Wu Qing Luo could not help but stepped back. Yes, except for him, no one could be so beautiful in the world.
They broke out in cold sweats, the Cui Lei Bell, the Shuan Tian Chain, these already caused heavy injuries, now even the Demon Lord of the monster and demon realms appeared, there would be no escape this time.
“Cui Wei, you really work hard, didn’t I give you a long break, why did you take the Shuan Tian Chain here, aren’t you afraid you’ll scare the kids to death?”
Sweats broke out on Cui Wei’s forehead: “Demon Lord! Getting a hold of the holy instruments can’t be delayed anymore! I’m doing this so the Demon God can be resurrected quicker, which is why I want to contribute my effort!”
Sha Qian Mo opened a delicate hand, looking at the exquisite nails: “So you didn’t obey my order, but you followed Chun Qiu Bu Bai, Zi Xun Qian Xia, Lan Yu Lan Feng and Ci Yu, Kuang Ye Tian to steal the holy instruments everywhere, right?”
Cui Wei’s legs trembled, he knew although Sha Qian Mo was the Demon Lord for hundreds of years, he only defeated the monster realm and the Monster King on a whim, combined the monster realm and demon realm into one, but he quickly became bored with power. Sha Qian Mo was only interested in his beauty and wandering the realms for amusement. Hence the governance fell to Chun Qiu Bu Bai’s group, Sha Qian Mo viewed this with one eye open and one eye closed, too lazy to care, he did not stop them from stealing the holy instruments.
Even so, they were still afraid of him. In the monster and demon realms, he was the most powerful, and he always did whatever he wanted. He was ruthless, without any scruples and vengeful. Anyone who offended Sha Qian Mo was considered extremely unfortunate, it would be better to commit suicide than to fall into his hands.
Cui Wei never thought he would appear here at this important moment. He usually did not care about these matters, Cui Wei silently tried to guess his intention, not daring to speak but looked up at the gorgeous face, which might be stunning to others, but was more terrifying than any monster or demon in the world.
“You caused their injuries?” Sha Qian Mo looked at Hua Qian Gu covered in blood, his lips twitched. She did not know that he never heard her blow the whistle before, but just now when the sound from the whistle increased in urgency and sharpness, piercing his eardrums, urging him. He was like a crazy person, flying on his sword, flying on the wind was not fast enough, he had to call the phoenix, flying here as fast as he could. If he were slower, would he never see her again?
Cui Wei saw that Sha Qian Mo was not his normal playful self but his face was cold, he knew something was wrong.
“Demon Lord, not me, Mo Xiao Sheng did it.”
“Mo Xiao Sheng? That’s nice!” Sha Qian Mo put his fingers to his lips, his eyes flashed cruelly that even Hua Qian Gu shivered. This condescending behavior, looking down at them, she had never seen jiejie like this.
“Give me the Shuan Tian Chain, I’ll let you die in one piece.” Sha Qian Mo opened his mouth, as if saying something that was not a big deal.
“Demon Lord, please have mercy!” Cui Wei paled, bowing his head over and over to beg for leniency.
“You know I don’t like to waste time talking, don’t make me change my mind.” Sha Qian Mo was still looking at his nails, not bothering to look up, perhaps the forefinger needed a little trimming.
Cui Wei knew it was difficult to escape death, his mind whirling, the holy instrument was in his hands, why not try to kill Sha Qian Mo who was trapped within the boundary of the Shuan Tian Chain, maybe there was a chance of survival.
The mirage disappeared, he pulled the Shuan Tian Chain and wanted to run away. The forest suddenly shook, the ground cracked with deep holes.
Sha Qian Mo snorted loudly: “How dumb!”
After he said this, his long purple hair grew out like a deity scattering flowers, spinning into the air, the hair lengthened endlessly, piercing straight into the dark sky. The hair pulled back a short while later, but it also brought along Cui Wei’s soul.
“You think I can’t find you? I thought about you following me for many years and allowed you to die in one piece, but you’re so ungrateful!”
“Demon Lord, please have mercy!” Cui Wei struggled, but Sha Qian Mo did not even blink, putting out his hands to crush the soul into pieces.
The sky instantly changed to sunny, filled with the echoes of painful cries.
Mount Chang Liu’s disciples were frightened, they pointed their swords at him as if he was their biggest threat. They thought if he acted, with his personality, he could destroy their souls too.
Sha Qian Mo raised one hand, pulling the Shuan Tian Chain into his grasp. He looked at Hua Qian Gu, then threw the golden chain that was thin like a snake to her.
“Jiejie……” Hua Qian Gu took it, stepping forward, surprised to see him gently shaking his head.
“The Shuan Tian Chain is the holy instrument of Mount Mao, take it back.”
He sat on the phoenix, preparing to leave. Everyone else was stunned, they thought they would die today.
“Wait.” Someone yelled.
Sha Qian Mo stopped, turning to look at the embarrassed boy.
“My…… My name is Huo Xi.” Huo Xi’s face was crimson, his head was down.
Everybody laughed.
———————————-
Sha Qian Mo gave a little seductive smile, rode the phoenix away, disappearing in a flash.
Hua Qian Gu held the Shuan Tian Chain and watched him leave, her mind not functioning for a long time. She did not know why jiejie was more beautiful today. No, not just beautiful, there was something else, something more.
She could not believe it, jiejie saved her, then helped her take back the Shuan Tian Chain. More surprising was jiejie liked to act on a whim, yet put himself in her shoes, was considerate of her identity and situation, not letting others know about their relationship, afraid being the Demon Lord would stir up trouble for her.
Jiejie, why would you treat me so well?
Hua Qian Gu hugged the Shuan Tian Chain but felt warm as if she was hugging the sun.
She turned to look at Huo Xi: “Hey, why is your nose bleeding?” She quickly walked over to help him stop the bleeding.
Wu Qing Luo stepped heavily on his foot in anger, he did not react, only smiled in a daze: “Beauty…… beauty……”
———————————-
The group moved on and did not encounter any more problems. Hua Qian Gu gave the Cui Lei Bell to Wu Qing Luo and Huo Xi to take to Mount Lao, they could use the holy instrument to deal with monsters and demons. She also sent a message to Teacher, telling him everything that happened, warning that disciples from other sects must be extremely careful.
They had not arrived, but the story of them taking back two holy instruments already spread throughout Mount Tai Bai, even spreading throughout three realms. Hua Qian Gu’s reputation as the disciple of Chang Liu’s High Immortal grew quickly, everyone knew her.
The day they reached Mount Tai Bai, the Sect Leader went down the mountain to meet with them, the courtesy more attentive than welcoming the Jade Emperor. The disciples of other sects there to help saw this, naturally they did not like it.
Luo Shi Yi and Shuo Feng’s injuries were serious, fortunately Hua Qian Gu took a lot of blood clotting herbs and Hui Qing pills when she left, they were treated quickly so their recovery progressed well.
“Who’s Sha Qian Mo? Why did he help us? Is he planning something?”
Ni Man Tian never thought someone with such beauty existed in the world, her face suddenly became plain in comparison, she was angry.
Luo Shi Yi replied: “The realm of the gods was ruled by the Heavenly Emperor, the immortal realm by the Jade Emperor, the human realm by the Emperor, the demon realm by the Demon Lord, the monster realm by the Monster King, the Underworld by the Hell Lord. Sha Qian Mo now controls the monster realm and the demon realm, everyone has to respect him somewhat. He’s conceited and believes his beauty is unmatched in the world, not caring about anyone, always does whatever he wants, it’s difficult to know what he’ll do. He doesn’t present an image or shoulder the responsibilities befitting of the Demon Lord. The monster and demon realms are not satisfied with his lack of ambition, but they don’t dare to oppose him. A few years go, he didn’t have anything better to do so he went to Mount Chang Liu and wanted to fight with Zun Shang, insisting that he must be the best in the six realms. Zun Shang refused his challenge, and he tried to steal the Fu Xi Zither. Zun Shang ended up scratching his face so he panicked and fled, we never saw him again. It’s surprising that he saved us, then returned the Shuan Tian Chain. I don’t know why he helped us.”
Luo Shi Yi looked meaningfully at Hua Qian Gu, who had her head down and was playing with the hook jade in her hand.
“Qian Gu, what are you thinking?”
“Huhuhu, Lang gege isn’t on Mount Tai Bai, the Sect Leader said he’s never heard of the Invincible Tai Bai Sect.”
Luo Shi Yi shook his head and smiled, he knew as soon as he heard that it was made up out of the blue, only Hua Qian Gu was silly enough to believe it.
“Shi Yi, are you in pain?” Tang Bao anxiously looked at him leaning against the bed, he would not be so seriously injured if he was not distracted by saving it.
“It’s very painful, very painful……” Luo Shi Yi nodded. What a blessing in disguise, Tang Bao refused to leave his side these few days to care for him.
“Do you want to eat grapes?”
“I do, I do……”
Tang Bao grabbed onto a grape and climbed onto his shoulder to feed him, Luo Shi Yi regretted he could not swallow it too.
Closing his eyes and chewing slowly, this was the sweetest grape he tasted in his life!
At night, Tang Bao held a book small like a fingernail and sat on his nose to read to him, bragging it came up with all the stories in the book.
Tang Bao was supposed to read but fell asleep before Luo Shi Yi. He looked at its cute sleeping form, hanging onto his nose and rolling back and forth, he looked until his eyes almost crossed.
Tang Bao rolled all over his face, Luo Shi Yi felt his face itching, his heart itched too.
Tang Bao finally rolled off his face, Luo Shi Yi quickly extended his hands to catch it. He put it in front of his face and looked as if it was a treasure. He lightly touched it, soft and plump, how wonderful. Its sleeping form was adorable, he could not help but put it up to his lips, kissing it gingerly.
Luo Shi Yi froze. What was he doing, kissing a worm? And secretly kissing it?
Crazy, crazy, it seemed he was really injured this time, his brain was not well.
Time flew, bringing August 15th nearer.
