Chapter 287: Just Wanting to Find a Way to Survive
Demonic energy began to gather around the blue-clad figure. The constables stood ready, unaware of what they were facing.
Ning Xiaoxi sighed silently. Although it was a minor demon, it was not something that a few constables could take down without any damage.
"boom!"
As the surrounding water vapor burst and rippled outwards, the blue-clad figure leaped towards the carriage.
"Get down!"
A soft voice sounded in the ear of the figure in blue, and a slender, fair hand landed on her shoulder.
The hand was very weak, with blue veins clearly visible under the skin. Under the gloomy sky and the constant dripping rain, it seemed powerless, yet she had no power to resist at all.
A golden light flashed in his eyes as he turned to look.
Huh, nobody's here!
Ah! I have to bow my head.
"Stop grinning. We just need people. There's no need to hurt innocent people." Although Ning Xiaoxi was always unhappy with her height, she wasn't too self-conscious about it. After all, she had grown to 1.4 meters tall recently!
He tried his best to mobilize the demon core to gather demonic power, but found that his communication with heaven and earth had been cut off. He was completely suppressed by the small hand on his shoulder, and a tear slid down his cheek.
She drifted into the carriage like a wisp of smoke. After a moment of surprise, Ning Xiaoxi picked up the corpse and returned to the blue-clad figure.
Before the figure in blue could even feel the pressure on their shoulder disappear, the person returned. Then, a cold body was shoved into their arms.
A slender figure stood in front of it, only reaching its shoulder height.
The constables opposite then realized that the body had been snatched from the carriage they were guarding, and the six men in front rushed over with their swords drawn.
As the dragon-like steps descended, the officers continued running, but their knives were forcefully snatched away.
With a clanging sound, six waist knives fell at the feet of the group.
The six people behind the carriage had also circled around, blocked by the six people in front, and stared intently at the two slender and frail figures opposite them, and the pale and cold corpse in the arms of the blue-clad figure.
Ning Xiaoxi squinted at the constables' expressions, "It seems you really don't know."
The constable who had his waist knife taken away and was running at the front had his straw hat hanging around his neck. Rain soaked his face and head. He wiped his face and said in a low voice, "We are ordered to escort the carriage to the manor outside the city. If the young lady obstructs us, we will have no way to complete our mission."
Ning Xiaoxi turned slightly to the side, revealing the blue figure behind her and the body in its arms. "Since ancient times, murderers have been punished with their lives. Who killed this child?"
The constable gritted his teeth. "We don't know..."
"You think you have no responsibility just because you didn't know?" Ning Xiaoxi's face darkened. "Judging from your appearance, this isn't the first time you've done this. Do you even respect the clothes you're wearing?"
The constable lowered his head and said nothing more. The constables behind him looked at each other, none of them stepping forward or speaking again.
In the shops lining both sides of the street, all the shopkeepers watched this scene silently. The water boiled, but no one went to brew tea; the wine was hot, but no one went to pour it.
Ning Xiaoxi stood in the rain, but not a single drop fell on her. It was as if a thin protective shield surrounded her, preventing the rain from getting in. No longer looking at the constables, Ning Xiaoxi turned and walked along the street towards the outskirts of the city.
The figure in blue held the cold body with one hand, holding up an oil-paper umbrella to prevent a single drop of rain from falling on it.
Ning Xiaoxi took a few steps, but the figure didn't follow.
With a silent sigh, he said, "They are nothing but pawns; killing them is pointless. Don't feel aggrieved. Since you've hidden among the humans in the city, you've essentially accepted their code of conduct. This is just another case of experiencing the same fate as other humans. I suppose the perpetrator didn't know your identities; it was just a coincidence."
The figure in blue sobbed softly, "I thought at least there was a way to survive."
"Consider it your tribulation!" Ning Xiaoxi knew that the current cultivation of demons was like that of humans, going with the flow and not being hindered too much. However, when their spiritual energy was completely exhausted, cultivation would be going against the heavens, and the obstacles they would encounter when going against the current would be unimaginable to the current demons.
The figure in cyan finally turned around and caught up with Ning Xiaoxi.
The constables watched as the two men and the corpse strolled away, finally disappearing at the city gate.
Ning Xiaoxi's figure flickered in the rain, and surprisingly, the figure in blue was able to keep up with her pace.
A dry cave with an entrance just big enough to enter, but the interior is quite spacious.
The figure in blue folded up the oil-paper umbrella and placed it at the entrance of the cave, then carried the corpse inside.
The corpse was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a chubby face that was deathly pale, but it was about half a head taller than Ning Xiaoxi. Sigh!
The blue-clad figure placed it near the inner wall of the cave entrance, where it was very dry. "We sisters are the last two of our clan. For a hundred years, we have been hiding and running away. From nearly a thousand people, only my sister and I remained, and now, only I am left."
He raised his hand and placed it on the corpse's head, a faint demonic aura emanating from it. "When the elders allowed us to enter the human city, they sealed our power and forced us to maintain our human form. Even when we die, we leave behind human corpses."
The demonic energy slid down from the top of his head, and the blue runes on his pale skin were broken through by the demonic energy. "But the elder was afraid that we would be bullied because we were too weak, so he left me the demonic power that could break the seal." After the blue runes were broken, blue energy rose up, and the human figure on the corpse began to dissipate.
"We run a clothing shop in this small town, we don't compete or fight, we just make a living." The blue feathers have become dull and lifeless, but the body is very soft, the beak is yellow, the eyelashes are black and shiny, the top of the head has fan-shaped feathers, the body is slender, and the tail feathers have fine golden feathers, which is very beautiful.
"I only went out of the city for three days to retrieve the cloth, how could this happen?" The voice of the figure in blue deepened. "You are a Celestial Master, a Celestial Master I cannot contend with. I just want to ask one question." The golden eyes stared straight at Ning Xiaoxi.
Ning Xiaoxi's heart sank slightly, and she nodded slightly.
"Demons, is there truly no way for us to live?" Qi Huang's eyes were filled with endless accusation. "When I hatched, the sky was ablaze with colorful clouds, hundreds of birds circled and sang, and the whole clan rejoiced. At the age of one hundred, I took human form, with a beautiful figure, and longed for the sacred land of the demon race, hoping to lead my people there so they would no longer have to wander aimlessly." The figure gradually dissolved into the blue smoke, a faint golden light permeating his entire body. "And I have never harmed a human life. Why? Why won't you give us a way to live?"
Black aura began to appear in its golden eyes, and the golden light around it began to be stained with black. Its clear and melodious cry began to turn shrill and shrill!
The Bluebird has begun to be possessed by demons!
