"He's probably not a toad that wants to eat swan meat. He's just a servant." The young cultivator with the surname Tuoba echoed.
To be honest, the two of them were indeed good-looking. They both had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. They were dressed in bright clothes and looked like the young masters of aristocratic families. They really looked elegant.
Xiao Lingyu originally planned to ask the two of them to leave to prevent them from angering Miao Ying and losing their lives. However, when he heard how they looked at him, he looked at them as if he was looking at dead people and silently sympathized with them.
The reason Miao Ying came here was to return to an old place and see the old scenery and think of old friends. In addition, she had encountered the sword cultivator with the surname Feng. She already felt bitter in her heart, but the two of them still dared to be presumptuous here. Xiao Lingyu estimated that even ten lives would not be enough for them.
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu did not speak, the two of them looked at Miao Ying and said, "I'm Tuoba Honghui. May I ask for your name?"
Miao Ying was still staring out the window. She did not even bother to glance at them. Naturally, it was impossible for her to answer.
The feeling of being ignored was not good. However, Tuoba Honghui did not get angry. Instead, he continued, "I've reserved a seat in a private room on the third floor. I wonder if you can do me the honor and go up and sit for a while?"
Xiao Lingyu estimated that with Miao Ying's temper, she would definitely ignore him. However, Miao Ying turned her head and asked curiously, "Your surname is Tuoba?"
Tuoba Honghui said with a slightly serious expression, "That's right."
It was as if the surname Tuoba gave him a lot of face.
"So, you have some relationship with that Tuoba Yi?" Miao Ying continued to ask.
"How dare you call the Ancestor by his name?!" Tuoba Honghui was stunned at first, then he scolded sternly.
Miao Ying, on the other hand, smiled indifferently and continued, "You people from the Tuoba Family are really detestable."
Xiao Lingyu inwardly agreed. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have interacted with a Demon Monarch with the surname Tuoba and had even killed that Demon Monarch. That Demon Monarch was called Tuoba Honglai, and this Tuoba family member in front of him was called Tuoba Honghui. The two of them were probably of the same generation.
"Bitch, speak …"
"Hmph!"
Before Tuoba Honghui could finish cursing, Miao Ying snorted coldly and waved her sleeve. A blood-red radiance enveloped Tuoba Honghui.
In an instant, the blood-red radiance disappeared. However, Tuoba Honghui also disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lingyu knew that Tuoba Honghui had been mercilessly killed by Miao Ying, and not even a trace of him was left behind.
The people who came with Tuoba Honghui opened their eyes wide, but their bodies were trembling in fear.
"Your surname is also Tuoba?" Miao Ying asked the other person.
"No, no, no, I am not."
The other young cultivator hurriedly waved his hand. After responding, he ran towards the stairs in a panic.
Miao Ying did not make a move against that person. Instead, she looked out of the window as if nothing had happened. It was as if what had just happened had no effect on her at all. It was also as if she was used to this kind of casual killing.
All the diners on the second floor saw what happened here clearly. After everyone recovered from their shock, they all went downstairs silently.
Xiao Lingyu did not know, but the cultivators who were often in Ming Jiong City all knew that the Tuoba family was extremely powerful. Even in the entire Devil Realm, they could be considered one of the top families. The center of the Tuoba family's power was on the Ming Jiong Continent.
However, Xiao Lingyu knew one thing. Killing people in any large city in the Devil Realm would attract the experts of the city guards. However, thinking that Miao Ying was a supreme level expert, Xiao Lingyu was not too worried.
Martial arts were not allowed in the city, but it was only to restrict ordinary cultivators. This rule had no binding effect on supreme level experts.
Not to mention in the city, even in the entire Devil Realm, there were no rules that could restrict a demon lord.
In the blink of an eye, only Xiao Lingyu and Miao Ying were left on the second floor. The surroundings were very quiet.
"Back then, I had just come out from home to play and met Tuoba Yi here. At that time, he was at the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and I had just advanced to the early stage of the Emperor Realm. I don't know why he came to tease me …"
"Then that person stood up and played the hero saving the beauty." Xiao Lingyu could not help but continue.
"Something like that."
Miao Ying sighed softly and nodded.
Xiao Lingyu secretly thought that it was melodramatic. He did not expect that there would be such a story in the Devil Realm.
However, at that time, Miao Ying had just come out to experience and play and was teased by experts. In that moment of danger, someone happened to come out to save her. She was really moved after being grateful. After all, she definitely would not be as ruthless and experienced as she was now.
"Later, he felt that I was not safe on the Ming Jiong Continent, so he kept accompanying me. At that time, I did not know why, but I refused to leave the Ming Jiong Continent and kept pestering him. However, I was constantly chased by the experts of the Tuoba family. Fortunately, he had the cultivation of the peak of the late stage of the Emperor Realm at that time, so the Tuoba family experts could not do anything to us even after suffering countless casualties. Perhaps it was because of this experience of sharing trials and tribulations, as well as his calm performance when killing in all directions, that I fell deeper and deeper … "
Miao Ying recalled the past, and her face was clearly filled with happiness.
Since ancient times, it had been common sense for beauties to love heroes. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu could understand Miao Ying back then.
"Unfortunately, the heavens are playing tricks on people. Even though I was infatuated with him and he did not leave me, he always treated me like a younger sister, protected me, and cared for me. However, he was unwilling to marry me. After he advanced to the Emperor Realm on the Ming Jiong Continent, we left together and continued to travel the Devil Realm. I had not returned for a long time and my family was worried, so they sent my younger sister out to find me. Who would have thought that my younger sister would also fall in love with him? "
"My younger sister was stubborn and acted decisively and viciously. In order to get him, not only did she use tricks to drive a wedge between him and me, she even wanted to use charm techniques to charm him. However, she always failed. After failing again and again, her heart demon was too strong and she died."
"Both of us sisters were infatuated with him, but he did not seem to know. My younger sister died because of this. When this matter reached home, my father flew into a rage and personally came to find us … My father was also impatient. After coming, he did not give us a chance to explain before attacking … At that time, my father had been at the peak of the late stage of the Emperor Realm for many years and was only a step away from the Emperor Realm. Although he was at the Emperor Realm, he had only just advanced. The two of them fought more and more fiercely. He gradually could not suppress his Emperor Realm strength and mistakenly injured my father. After my father was injured, he insisted that I follow him home and never come out again. At that time, I was deeply in love and young and impetuous, so I did not agree. However, my father who was seriously injured was angered to death. "
At this point, tears were already flashing in Miao Ying's eyes.
Even the cold-hearted Xiao Lingyu could not help but feel a little touched when he heard this.
Young people, people who did not have much experience, people who had not been baptized by time and the ways of the world, often only thought of themselves.
"If I had directly left this continent back then, my younger sister would not have died, and my father would not have died. If they did not die, my clan would not have been exterminated by other clans … All of this was my fault, but if I had to do it all over again, I really don't know if I would have left. "Miao Ying said with contradictory thoughts.
"But in the end, I almost treated him wholeheartedly. Even if he was sealed, I did not hesitate to protect the Blood Moon Continent for hundreds of millions of years. I went through hardships to help him break the seal of the Blood Moon Tower. In the end, I only exchanged his eternal 'we will not have a result'." Miao Ying said with a sad face.
The deeper the love, the harder it was to give up, and naturally, the heavier the injury.
At this time, a series of heavy footsteps gradually became clear. A group of brightly armored city guards under the leadership of the young cultivator came up the stairs.
The young cultivator was the one who came with Tuoba Honghui.
"It's that woman. Just now, with a wave of her hand, Honghui disappeared without a trace." The young cultivator pointed at Miao Ying and shouted.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly, because Miao Ying had entered a very complicated state. Anyone who disturbed her would anger her.
"Scram!"
Sure enough, Miao Ying did not wait for the city guards to come closer and shouted loudly. Then, with a wave of her sleeve, a blood-red light instantly drowned the young cultivator and the city guards.
In less than a breath's time, only Xiao Lingyu and Miao Ying were left on the second floor.
"Do you think I'm very stupid and naive to love him so much?" Miao Ying's face was still angry, but she asked calmly.
She had a lot of questions, and none of them were easy to answer.
Xiao Lingyu was depressed in her heart. After pondering for a moment, she did not answer but asked, "Do you really understand him?"
This sentence caused Miao Ying's body to suddenly tremble. Her pair of limpid eyes stared straight at Xiao Lingyu.
"Yeah? Do I really understand him? For countless years, I was the one who opened my heart to him without reservation. What secrets did he tell me? Other than knowing that I love him very much, what else do I know? "
"Since I don't understand him, why do I love him so much? Is it because he saved me? Is it because I love him? "
In an instant, Miao Ying's thoughts were like a raging tide.
The more she thought about it, the more painful her expression became, and the more tangled her thoughts became.
Xiao Lingyu knew that she had hit the nail on the head, so she did not say anything else. He knew that he should give Miao Ying more time to sort out her thoughts.
Xiao Lingyu could wait patiently, but the city guards would not wait.
Just now, so many city guards had died. Their soul jade tablets had shattered at the same time. The city guards would definitely notice and naturally come to find them.
Who knew that Miao Ying would take out her blood-red flute and play it on her lips.
The originally mellow and melodious sound of the flute had completely changed. It had become sorrowful and mournful, causing one's heart to break and be filled with sadness.
Xiao Lingyu was the closest to Miao Ying and was affected the most. Just as she heard the sound, tears had already flowed out of her eyes.
The sound of the flute spread to the first floor, to the third floor, and outside the window …
