Qing Wu had hardly closed her eyes since the Sacred Fire Festival. The longer she waited, the colder her heart became.
Feng Hao hadn't arrived yet. There were only a few days left before the end of the Sacred Fire Festival …
"If you don't come …"
Looking at the sky outside the window, Qing Wu's eyes flashed with determination.
The beautiful maidservant who was watching from the side also sighed deeply.
Because of Mo Wu's outburst, the progress of the Grand Competition sped up a lot. The end of the competition was just around the corner. Would Fenghao have time to rush over from the West Mist?
That was almost impossible!
Lan Xun walked in from outside and sighed when she saw her daughter's haggard face.
She couldn't understand why her daughter was so stubborn. Mo Wu was handsome, talented, and had a Heaven Grade Mid-Tier Medicine Encyclopedia. Why didn't her daughter like him?
"Does she really have someone she likes?"
She couldn't help but wonder. Qing Wu had only gone out a few times. How could she have someone she liked? And why was she so devoted to him?
The Xue Yu that Little Qing Meng mentioned and the Feng Hao that the demon mentioned made her a little dizzy.
Could it be that her daughter liked two men at the same time?
She shook her head to shake this unrealistic thought out of her mind and walked toward Qing Wu.
"Silly child, don't think too much."
Looking at her daughter's thin cheeks, she felt a pang in her heart. She comforted her, "Mother knows that a girl will feel uneasy when she gets married. When I married your father, I was the same as you. I refused to marry him no matter what. But now, aren't we living well?"
Qing Wu closed her eyes and didn't speak.
If she hadn't met that young man, perhaps her fate would be the same as her mother's.
So, she learned to be indifferent …
However, after meeting that young man again in Nephrite Ancient City, she felt that her heart, which had become cold and pure, could actually beat. That feeling was unprecedented. She fell in love with it …
Unfortunately, reality was cruel. That young man might be extraordinary, but even if he had the Peak Heaven Medicine Encyclopedia, he still wouldn't be able to become the Holy Son of the Dark Shadow Demon Sect!
That was because the Dark Shadow Demon Sect had a clear rule that the Holy Leader had to be a poison master. Otherwise, wouldn't the holy land of poison masters be completely different?
Although she knew that it was impossible, she still had a wild hope in her heart. She looked forward to the young man fulfilling his vow and taking her away from the Dark Shadow Demon Sect!
But now, it was all too late. Perhaps that young man would possess the power to transcend the heavens in the future, but he couldn't stop the current situation from developing …
As she was thinking, two streams of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She would not allow another man to sully her. She would use her death to prove her innocence!
At this moment, she suddenly understood the taste of love. There was bitterness, sourness, and sweetness, but it was incomparably captivating. Once one fell into it, they would be unable to extricate themselves.
"Actually, it's really not as scary as you think."
Lan Xun continued to comfort him. "Also, I think Mo Wu is a good child. He's gentle and filial to his elders … Ahem …"
Seeing that Qing Wu's face gradually turned cold, she stopped nagging.
"Wu 'er, you have to appear tomorrow, so you have to sleep early today and keep your spirits up. Don't let the people of the Holy Church laugh at you tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Remembering the purpose of her visit, she spoke again.
"Hmph!"
Qing Wu snorted coldly and turned her head.
"You child!"
Lan Xun also pulled a long face and scolded softly, "Do you have to embarrass your mother and the Holy Leader? The Grand Competition will end early tomorrow. You have to appear and set a marriage. On the day of the Holy Flame Festival, you will be married and the Holy Son will be chosen! "
Lan Xun's explanation made Qing Wu's pale face turn even paler. Looking at the extremely familiar face in front of her, her eyes were filled with despair.
It had actually been brought forward!
With a bitter smile, she stood up shakily and walked towards the side room.
...
* Dong Dong Dong! *
In front of the Temple of Shadows, there was the sound of gongs and drums. The scene was extremely noisy and lively. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of thousands of people.
On the steps at the entrance of the main hall, the Holy Lord of Shadows sat on a large chair in the middle. Lan Xun sat beside him, and on the other side was Qing Wu. A dozen Elders sat in a straight line with the three of them as the center.
Every one of them had a smile on their faces. Only Qing Wu's eyes were empty, like a walking corpse. There was not a trace of spirit on her haggard face. Her appearance made Lan Xun frown.
At the bottom of the steps was a wide arena. There were patterns around it, and a thin barrier rose up, sweeping away all the energy bursting out from it.
At this time, those who could still stand in the arena were all Holy Son candidates. Moreover, they were the elites of the Holy Son candidates.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon …
It was already the last match. Mo Wu and a skinny man walked into the arena. With the sound of gongs and drums, the two of them fought fiercely.
The skinny man's cultivation was no lower than Mo Wu's. Moreover, with his Secret Technique, he was able to firmly suppress Mo Wu and gain the upper hand!
His performance made the Saint Sovereigns and Senior Elders on the platform nod in agreement.
Even if this person lost, he would definitely become a pillar of the Holy Church in the future!
* Bang! *
* Deng deng deng … *
After the collision, the skinny man only took five steps back, but Mo Wu took more than a dozen steps back. Suddenly, his face turned red.
Among the candidates for the Chosen Chosens, this man was merely a lower-ranked candidate. Therefore, Mo Wu had not paid much attention to him. However, this dark horse had made it all the way to the finals and had even become a formidable opponent. This was something that Mo Wu had not expected.
"Damn it!"
His heart was filled with anger. This fellow had embarrassed him. With a thought, a liquid-like black poisonous energy emerged from his body. A fishy stench spread throughout the entire place, causing everyone to frown. Only the big shots on the platform remained calm.
Since he lost to this man in terms of cultivation, Mo Wu used his trump card!
Heaven Grade Poison Energy!
Looking at the smelly black tide in front of him, the skinny man's expression immediately changed. A wave of poison energy also emerged from his body. Although it was thick, it was not liquid. It was only at the peak of Earth Realm!
The difference of one level was like the difference between heaven and earth. The man was directly submerged by the poison energy and fell into a coma.
Looking at the unconscious man with black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, the corners of Mo Wu's mouth rose high.
