Chapter 71: The Beautiful Empress is Alluring, Ye Qing Sacrifices the Sword! The Great Demon Fei Lian! Immediately, Ye Qing carried Chu Yao in his arms and strode back to the bedroom in an instant. To his surprise, the decoration inside the bedroom was in light pink tones. There are light red gauze curtains hanging on the wall, which have a hazy beauty. There are a few rag dolls on the red velvet bed, which look very cute and warm. Let people indulge in this environment. From this, we can see what a tender girlish heart Chu Yao has hidden behind her strong appearance. "I...I'll go wash up first..." Chu Yao's pretty face had already turned red with embarrassment. She immediately fled into the bathroom and pulled the gauze curtain. Ye Qing couldn't help but smile, and immediately sat down on the bed, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip. He was not in a hurry and enjoyed the rare sweetness with peace of mind.
Listening to the sound of flowing water, a stream of hot air floats out, emitting a deep and subtle fragrance. Looking at the graceful figure looming behind the gauze curtain, Ye Qing's heart, which had been as calm as water for many years, suddenly felt a long-lost throbbing. Chu Yao seemed afraid to face Ye Qing and deliberately washed for a long time. But no matter how long you take a bath, you can't soak in the bathtub all night. After washing for a full half hour, the gauze curtain finally opened slowly. Waves of hot air rushed towards her, and Chu Yao walked out shyly, wrapped in a bath towel. Chu Yao's fair skin was steamed red, as charming and attractive as an apple, making people want to take a bite. His handsome face was full of shyness, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Ye Qing. The slender and beautiful legs cannot be covered by the bath towel at all, and the round and smooth legs are fascinating to look at. There were glistening drops of water hanging on her jade feet, and her bare white and tender little feet walked on the carpet with quick and tense steps. "Madam, come here." Ye Qing patted his side and smiled faintly, "It's rare that it's late at night and everyone is asleep, let's have a private conversation." Chu Yao nodded gently and sat next to Ye Qing, her little hands still holding the bath towel tightly. Just like a young girl who has just fallen in love, she is full of shyness and expectation towards her lover. Ye Qing held Chu Yao in his arms and whispered, "Yao'er, do you still remember?" "When we were together, I asked you your name." "You told me that you have the wind in your blood and are destined to wander all your life." "Maybe one morning, you will leave without any warning, so I don't have to know your name or remember you." "I told you at that time that I was determined to keep you in my life and would never let you escape from my grasp."
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find you and know your name." Chu Yao's beautiful eyes revealed deep nostalgia and longing, and she nodded gently. "……yes." "Because my father suddenly fell ill and the struggle for the throne broke out, I had to return to Da Chu immediately." "I actually have no intention of taking the throne, but if I don't fight for it and my brothers take the throne, those followers who are loyal to me will be liquidated." "So, I had to leave you and Ling'er behind and go without saying goodbye." "During that time, I was scheming against my brother every day, deceiving each other, and I was on the verge of death countless times." "I really didn't expect... or I never dared to hope that I could meet you and Ling'er again in this life..." Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, "The reason you did this was to protect me and Ling'er." "At that time, I really didn't have enough ability to help you." "But now, I have the ability and capital to protect you." "I'm sorry, Yao'er, I've made you suffer over the years..." As he spoke, Ye Qing pinched Chu Yao's chin with his index and middle fingers and gave her a deep and passionate kiss. The two hugged each other, and the air was filled with a strong sweetness. Just as the two of them were in love, they were enjoying the beauty of life. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the palace, followed by a burst of violent screams. Chu Yao frowned instantly and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?!" "Could it be... a powerful demon invaded the palace at night?!" Ye Qing's face was suddenly filled with helplessness. This monster was so blind. Why didn’t you come earlier or later? Why did you choose to come at this time? Seeing Chu Yao's face full of worry and fear, he rubbed Chu Yao's hair and said with a smile, "Yao'er, don't worry." "Just stay here and I'll take care of it." After saying that, Ye Qing tidied his clothes, stood up slowly, and walked out of the bedroom holding the Xuanyuan Sword. When we came outside, the originally harmonious and quiet palace had turned into a bloody battlefield. Dozens of soldiers had their chests and hearts removed, their bodies lying on the ground in disarray, and blood flowed like a river. Although the rest of the soldiers maintained their formation and were ready for battle, they all looked terrified and at a loss as to what to do. Ye Qing looked up and saw countless black shadows flashing in the air, like evil spirits, with bared fangs and claws, and howling like ghosts. Ye Qing saw through the heavy shadows at a glance. A great demon in the Ascended Realm was hiding in the clouds, controlling these dark shadows and slaughtering the soldiers of the Chu Imperial Palace at will.
This giant monster is not as tall and mighty as Kuiniu. It looks like a short and stout dwarf, and its figure exudes a strong sinister and vulgar aura. He was wearing a huge black cloak and his face was covered with a black cloth, leaving only his blood-red eyes exposed. He was holding a long sickle in his hand. Judging from the black wings behind it and the two sharp claws, it should be an eagle monster with human body. As Ye Qing was observing, Hong Chang came to his side and said in a deep voice, "This guy must be Fei Lian, the Shadow King, one of the Twelve Demon Kings!" "Fei Lian can cut the shadows of living beings and refine them into shadow puppets for his own use. He can kill 10% of the shadow puppet army under his command within an hour." Ye Qing nodded and said to himself, "No wonder Fei Lian was sent alone to attack the palace." "It turns out that he doesn't need an army of monsters at all. His own strength is an army." Hong Chang frowned and said, "These shadow puppets have no life, they are immortal and indestructible, there is no way to wipe them out." "We must get rid of Fei Lian directly, otherwise there will be heavy casualties!" "Okay, leave it to me!" Ye Qing said in a deep voice, "Hongshang, please protect my wife, Ling'er, and Doctor Xue." "Let me deal with this Fei Lian!" After saying that, Ye Qing waved his hand and blasted out a sword light, directly cutting through the dark clouds in the sky and blasting out a path. Then he stepped on the flying sword, leaped into the air, and headed straight for the depths of the clouds where Fei Lian was hiding. …… In mid-air, Fei Lian was concentrating on controlling the shadow puppet to slaughter the soldiers of Da Chu, his eyes full of excitement and fanaticism. "very good!" “It’s really intoxicating to see so many young and energetic figures!” "Empress of Great Chu, if you don't show up soon, all these loyal soldiers under your command will become my loyal servants!"
