Yun Sheng did not turn back. Behind her, the Golden Qilin turned its head and glanced at Ye Beicheng under the scorching sun. There was a trace of relief in its eyes. It flicked its tail and followed Yun Sheng.
When Empress Dowager Wenren learned that Yun Sheng was going to Penglai alone, she was still a little worried.
"Empress Dowager, you don't have to worry. The little Emperor can now take charge of things on his own. I have also left Tuhao Jin to protect him. As for other matters, you can instruct Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Brother Bu. If there are any difficulties, you can also contact my Second Uncle." Only Yun Sheng knew that she had to go on this trip to Penglai.
A few years ago, when Yun Sheng learned that her mother Hu Jiusheng's memory loss was related to Penglai, she secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would personally go to Penglai and find a way to make her mother lose her memory.
Back then, she did not go to Penglai personally because she was not strong enough.
However, in the past few years, she had been recuperating. Especially after peeking at Emperor Jiu Yan's divine appearance, she had made great progress in her personal understanding. Even her magic and summoning techniques had improved greatly.
In addition, she was accompanied by the Golden Qilin and a group of demonic beasts. She used the identity of "Prince Regent" as a cover to go to Penglai.
When Empress Dowager Wenren saw that persuading Yun Sheng was ineffective, she could only let her go.
One day after Yun Sheng left Yujing, a letter was sent to the Prince Regent's residence.
However, because Yun Sheng was not around, the letter was passed to Yun Canglang's hands.
There was no signature on the letter. Yun Canglang was very happy and his eyebrows twitched.
"She must go to Penglai!"
Yuan Shahua, who was at the side, saw this and was very puzzled. "Canglang, who wrote the letter? Sheng 'er has already set off for Penglai yesterday afternoon. "
"It's a letter from my eldest brother. He wrote in the letter that Yun Sheng must arrive at Penglai before the fifteenth of this month." Although there was no signature, Yun Canghai still recognized this letter. It was written by his eldest brother Yun Canghai.
There has been no news about Yun Canghai in the past few years. Unexpectedly, he has been lurking in Penglai.
This time, he did not hesitate to expose his whereabouts and wrote a letter to Lin Luoran. He also insisted that Yun Sheng go to Penglai. Something must have happened. Could it be that Big Brother had discovered something in Penglai?
Yun Canglang was a little anxious. Yun Sheng had already left. He had to think of a way to send the news to Yun Sheng.
In the Penglai Zao State, in a dark water dungeon, a woman was soaked in the water dungeon. Her eyes were closed, her skin was pale, and there was no color on her face.
But her face was unbelievably beautiful.
"She still refuses to say anything?" The Emperor Zao In Red walked into the water dungeon. Behind him, several main summoners followed. The ninth main summoner was among them.
"Reporting to the Pope, this woman's mouth is very tight. No matter what, she refuses to say the way to go to the Ba Huang Continent," the summoner in charge of the interrogation said.
The Emperor Zao In Red walked forward and pinched the woman's chin.
"Yun Sheng, you still refuse to say anything? Since that's the case, the fifteenth of this month will be your sacrifice. "As he spoke, The Emperor Zao In Red glanced at Hu Jiusheng from the corner of his eyes. But there was no change in her expression.
The Emperor Zao In Red's expression eased a little. He asked a few more questions, but the woman still did not say a word. She was like a mute.
The Emperor Zao In Red saw that he could not get anything out of her, so he left with the others.
After everyone left, Hu Jiusheng looked down at the girl who had long lost her color.
She said coldly, "Why don't you explain?"
This sentence, Hu Jiusheng wanted to ask three years ago.
Everyone, including The Emperor Zao In Red, thought that the person they had captured was Yun Sheng of the Zhou State, Yun Sheng, who was half Celestial Fox.
But Hu Jiusheng knew that she was not Yun Sheng.
She was just a Celestial Fox People who looked like Yun Sheng.
This woman was timid and did not know magic, but she was a tough nut to crack.
In the past three years, The Emperor Zao In Red had used different methods to get his subordinates to force the woman to tell them where the entrance to the Ba Huang Continent was.
The Emperor Zao In Red was an ambitious man. He was different from the other forces in the Boundless Land who only wanted to expel the descendants of the Ba Huang Continent. The Emperor Zao In Red thought that in order to destroy the Bhakra Orcs, he had to uproot them once again. He even had the delusion of attacking the Ba Huang Continent before the Ba Huang Continent invaded again.
But this woman who looked as delicate as porcelain endured the torture time and time again, refusing to say a word.
Maybe it was because the woman's behavior of protecting Yun Sheng surprised Hu Jiusheng. Or maybe it was because Hu Jiusheng admired the woman's stubbornness. Hu Jiusheng did not dislike this woman.
If it was not for the fact that the woman had to die, Hu Jiusheng might have saved her.
"One of us has to die. It's better for me to die than for her to die. "Hu Sheng coughed a few times. She could feel a dull pain in her heart.
That's right. No one would care whether she, Hu Sheng, died or not.
Father … would not care.
He would not care if he abandoned her.
But if Yun Sheng died, many people would be sad.
Her friends, her lover, and her parents.
Yun Sheng had everything that Hu Sheng could not have. She was like the sun. She was smart, knew powerful magic, and had miraculous medical skills that could bring the dead back to life.
Compared to Yun Sheng, she was like a small black dot in the sun.
Her existence was like a foil to Yun Sheng's beauty.
But even so, she still liked Yun Sheng.
She could replace Yun Sheng and be killed. That was also a kind of happiness.
"What else do you want?" Hu Jiusheng asked.
"I … want to go back to my hometown. But I don't think I can go back. So, can you, after I die, send my ashes to Zhou State and give them to a man named Abandoned?" Hu Sheng said with a smile.
Her smile was sad and beautiful.
Even if Abandoned did not like her, she still liked him very much.
Abandoned was the first man who was so nice to her.
Hu Jiusheng promised Hu Sheng. She did not know how she felt when she left the water prison.
When she walked out of the cell, a cold voice entered Hu Jiusheng's ears.
"Why didn't you save her? She didn't deserve to die." Yun Canghai, who was dressed as a summoner of Zhou State, stood not far away.
"You didn't save her. I'm not the only selfish one." Hu Jiusheng only cared about one thing. As long as Yun Sheng didn't die, she didn't care who died.
Hu Jiusheng didn't say anything and left indifferently.
Yun Canghai sighed and looked at the water prison.
Yes, Hu Jiusheng was right. He was also selfish.
But he still couldn't help watching an innocent woman be killed instead of Yun Sheng.
He had written a letter to inform Yun Sheng and asked her to come to Penglai as soon as possible.
Presumably, at this time, she should be on her way to Penglai.
If she could make it in time, maybe the woman in the water prison could be saved.
