"Ridiculous!" The Demon Empress laughed without any expression. Her voice was cold.
Zi Xieqing knelt down properly, biting her red lips. She did not say a word.
"Do you know the benefits of your body?" The Demon Empress said lightly, "Although you are not a native of the Heaven Imperial Court, you are originally from the Purple Marten Clan. But you unintentionally received the power of the Sage and were reborn. Although your cultivation is low now, the power of the Sage has been stabilized in your body. And you have cultivated the Purple Mystic Core … This is different from the demons of the Heaven Imperial Court. So I need your help. Otherwise, I would not have taken a fancy to a small purple marten like you! "
"Although you are the only Purple Mystic Marten in the Heaven Imperial Court, you are just so-so."
The Demon Empress said coldly, "You should know that I'm only taking some of your blood essence and some of your core essence to treat my son's illness. Even though it will greatly damage your body, it won't cause you to lose your roots, much less harm your life! Instead, I will repay you. "
"You leave your root, and I will send people to protect you until you recover … Then you can laugh proudly in the Heaven Imperial Court!"
The Demon Empress' eyes became colder and colder, and there was a murderous aura. "Although you have hidden your strength, I can see that you are not an Emperor. At most, you are only in the Heaven Realm, and only in the early stages."
"I value you because the power of the Sage in your body can save Tai's life. That is all. "
Zi Xieqing said lightly, "I've already known about this long ago."
The Demon Empress said angrily, "I am not talking nonsense with you! I want you to know that although your cultivation is low now, as long as you give up your blood and Jindan essence, after you recover, and dual cultivate with Tai, you can cross the barrier that you have not crossed for hundreds of thousands of years. With the help of the power of the Demon Royal Bloodline, you can activate the power of the Sage in your body, and you can become the most promising star of the Heaven Imperial Court! "
"I also want to tell you. As long as you agree, when I die, as long as you are still alive, the position of the new Demon Empress will be yours! This is something that even the Tian Que Celestial Emperor cannot change! "
"When the time comes, you will be an overlord. Ruling the world! Waving your hand, the stars will bow. Changing the weather with anger! It is the ultimate life leduwo of everyone in the Heaven Imperial Court! "
"Do you understand?" The Demon Empress snorted coldly.
"I understand." Zi Xieqing's voice was low but firm. "But I … still want to be a human!"
"Trash!" The Demon Empress was displeased as her eyes shot out two rays of white light. He looked into Zi Xieqing's eyes and said, "Zi Xieqing, look into my eyes when you speak."
She stared at Zi Xieqing with the whites of her eyes and asked word by word, "Are you serious? Want to be a human? You don't want to be a demon? "
Zi Xieqing's face revealed a perplexed look. It was as if her mind was completely bewitched at this moment, and she could only let her heart speak.
Her voice rang out. Although she was confused, her words were clear. "I want to be a human!"
The Demon Empress' body shook, and the white light in her eyes vanished. He heaved a long sigh and said, "You have disappointed me so much … The Demon Clan is now in a three-way battle and is losing ground … I waited so long for Gui to change his mind and come back by himself. I even teleported back to see you immediately. You actually only told me this one sentence: You want to be a human? "
Her voice was low, and she couldn't hide the pain in her heart.
Zi Xieqing regained her senses. She said guiltily, "I only ask the Demon Empress to fulfill my wish!"
The Demon Empress heaved a long sigh.
"I'll tell you one last time!" The Demon Empress' voice was heavy. She turned her face and said, "Firstly, from a demon to a human. If you don't go through reincarnation, you have to go through the Soul-Splitting Platform and experience the pain of splitting your soul 81 times. Then, you have to enter the Heartbreak Spring and experience the pain of your heart 81 times. Finally, you have to enter the Demon Forging Cave and experience the Demon Annihilation Thunder 81 times. You have to shed your demonic aura. Only then can you become a human! "
"This process, not to mention you, even I …" The Demon Empress took a deep breath and said, "may not be able to bear it. Do you know? "
"I know." Zi Xieqing said in a low voice, "And I also know that the Soul-Splitting Platform, Heartbreak Spring and Demon Forging Cave are only with you. And only you can open them."
"Then, do you know that once you make this decision, it's equivalent to betraying the entire Demon Clan?! Especially the Purple Marten Clan of the Heaven Imperial Court, it's a great humiliation! From then on, all the demons will treat you as a disgrace and kill you quickly! From then on, you will be the enemy of the entire world? "The Demon Empress asked in a low voice.
"I know." Zi Xieqing said firmly.
"Do you know that after you sacrifice a portion of your lifeblood essence and Jindan essence, even if you can withstand the Soul Foundation Stage, the Heartbreak Spring, and the Demon Tempering Cave, your cultivation base will be reduced to less than a tenth? And you will need three years to recover? "
She did not wait for Zi Xieqing to speak and continued, "Don't think that three years is a short time. In this world, even if you blink three times, the world will change. Before you blink, the world may celebrate. But when you open your eyes again, there may be a mountain of bones. And you, 70,000 years ago, when you ran amok in the Heaven Imperial Court, you should know how many people you have offended. "
"In addition to the encirclement of all the demons in the world, how confident do you think you can survive?" The Demon Empress asked coldly.
"Not even 10%." Zi Xieqing said frankly.
"If that's the case, then you can give up." The Demon Empress heaved a sigh of relief.
"Although I don't have a 50% chance of surviving, I … will not regret it even if I die!" Zi Xieqing straightened her delicate back.
"You!" The Demon Empress turned around abruptly and looked at her sharply. "How dare you!"
Zi Xieqing did not say anything. She pursed her lips, but her eyes were filled with determination.
Beside the Demon Empress, a beautiful woman in white who had been sitting quietly asked softly, "Zi Xieqing, I want to know why you did this. What is the reason?"
Zi Xieqing blushed and lowered her head.
The woman in white's voice was very calm. She said lightly, "For a man?"
Zi Xieqing bit her lips and nodded slowly.
"But even if you maintain your demon body, you can still marry him. Although both the human and demon clans will not tolerate it, as long as you do it secretly … there is still a way out. "The woman in white frowned slightly." Why must you seek your own death? "
Zi Xieqing's teeth sank deeply into her red lips. After a long time, she said with difficulty, "Seventy-five thousand years ago, Bai Susu …"
The Demon Empress and the woman in white trembled and looked at each other speechlessly.
Bai Susu was a legend in the demon clan, a legend that betrayed the orthodox path.
Bai Susu was the number one genius of the White Fox Clan. After she transformed, she wandered the martial world and accidentally met a descendant of the Windy Sky Pavilion. The two of them wandered the martial world side by side and fell in love with each other.
Bai Susu knew that humans and demons could not coexist, so she hid her identity and married the man resolutely.
However, tragedy finally happened. A few years later, their child was born. This child had a human body and a fox tail! The moment it was born, it was filled with demon aura!
The descendant of the Windy Sky Pavilion was like a thunderbolt and questioned his wife. Bai Susu had no choice but to admit her identity. The man was also loyal. That night, he left the sect with his wife and child and fled to the ends of the world.
However, both the human and demon clans could not tolerate such a thing. They chased after him and finally killed his entire family at the foot of Mount Canglan!
It was said that before he died, the Fox Elder asked Bai Susu if she regretted it. Bai Susu said, "I regretted it later. I didn't dare to go through the Soul Dividing Platform and the Demon Forging Cave … Because of that, my husband and child lost their lives … I don't regret marrying him!
I don't dare to regret it, and I can't regret it! I can't bear to regret it! "
After saying that, Bai Susu passed away.
The elites who chased after her felt touched and buried her. They named the slanting valley as the Regretless Gorge.
It was also from that time onwards that although the marriage between humans and demons was still prohibited on the surface, even if it was discovered secretly, everyone would turn a blind eye to it.
They would no longer kill them!
They knew that unless they loved each other to the extreme, no one would touch such a taboo.
It could be said that Bai Susu had used her own life to open a window for a love that transcended the secular world. Although she did not enjoy it herself, whenever there was a demon clan member who loved a human so much that they could not help themselves and got married, they would come to the Regretless Gorge to worship Bai Susu.
Although the Regretless Gorge had always been deserted, there were still candles burning all year round.
Now that Zi Xieqing mentioned Bai Susu, the two women immediately understood what she was worried about.
Zi Xieqing did not want the man she loved to be humiliated because of her. She did not want the man she loved to become the laughing stock of the world because of her. However, she could not leave him and could not let him go. Therefore, she resolutely chose to go through all kinds of pain and become a human!
The beautiful woman in white sighed sadly. No one knew what she was thinking. After a long time, she said, "Big sister, you … grant him his wish."
"You don't regret it?" The Demon Empress sighed. She looked at Zi Xieqing with a complicated gaze.
"No!" Zi Xieqing nodded resolutely.
"Is he worth it?" The woman in white asked.
"I think he's worth it. Even if he's not worth it, he's worth it." Zi Xieqing replied softly.
"Even if he's not worth it, he's worth it!" The Demon Empress' eyes were cold. "One day, I'd like to see if you're worth it!"
She turned around like a whirlwind and said word by word, "Alright! Since you're so stubborn, you'll bear all the consequences alone! As long as you save my son, I'll grant your wish! "
"Thank you, Demon Empress!" Zi Xieqing said gratefully.
"No need to thank me!" The Demon Empress said lightly, "This is a deal. I only want my son to come back to life. As for you, you just want to … be a human! Hehehe … be a human! You saved my son and I'll grant you your wish to be a human! We'll exchange the money and the goods. We'll be clear and we won't owe each other anything! "
"Yes." Zi Xieqing relaxed and remained silent. It seemed that the words' we won't owe each other anything 'had spoken to her heart.
