Chapter 149 She is in the Western Regions
The intense pain was like thorns entangled and locked tightly in her heart. Xu An's face was distorted and she was almost losing consciousness from the pain.
The backlash came very quickly. Seeing her face becoming paler and blood foam dripping from the corners of her mouth intermittently, the person who cast the spell felt a chill from head to toe in an instant and was extremely anxious.
He called her name anxiously, but got no response.
Although the gold-based spiritual arts can suppress the backlash caused by the wood-based spiritual arts, it cannot eradicate the existing pain in a short period of time. If this continues, Xu An will have to suffer for a while.
The longer she wasted time, the longer she would suffer. Asu Peiye withdrew his hands and closed his eyes. Just as Qi Shichuan stepped forward to half-kneel, everyone saw their always violent and unbridled Third Prince slowly kneeling on the ground, his proud figure now lowered for a woman.
Amidst a sea of surprised eyes, Asu Pei Ye hugged Xu An tightly with one hand and cast a spell with the other hand on his forehead.
In an instant, thousands of golden rays burst out from the forehead, and the golden bell also emitted shining light patterns.
He prayed and meditated silently.
Ancestors of the Pei clan of the divine race, I, Asu Pei Ye, am willing to offer 50% of my spiritual power as a sacrifice and use my body to bear the pain of the one I love.
He closed his eyes tightly, and the scenes of his acquaintance with Xu An lingered in his mind, from the first attack to the encounter in Qifu Temple and every meeting thereafter, from not knowing each other through fighting to this point.
He was never a person who liked to pray, never knelt to anyone, and did not believe in the gods and Buddhas in the temples.
Until he met the woman with strange temperament and unknown strength. In order to meet her again, he went to Qi Fu Temple, which was the time when Xu An helped him.
He felt incredible in the face of such a fateful coincidence.
Asu Pei Ye nervously increased the strength in his hands. He had never been so pious before. To use the love lock bell, the most sincere love was needed as a medium. Not only that, but both parties also needed to have mutual feelings for each other.
Xu An, you will have me in your heart, right?
He longed and hoped for even a little bit.
In an instant, countless golden butterflies scattered from the love-locking bell. They waved their wings, and each time they died, they brought a brilliant light with them.
Everyone was amazed and looked up at this dreamlike scene. The golden light on Asu Pei Ye's forehead flowed towards Xu An and merged with the Youdie.
When the wind blew, an intense, piercing pain suddenly rose up in his heart, like a burnt-out iron nail nailed down, as if to break the heart into pieces.
"Cough...uh..." His chest felt tight and bright red blood couldn't be restrained from flowing out of Asu Pei Ye's mouth.
Just as Qi Shichuan was about to cast a healing spell, he lowered his head with a joyful smile and wiped Xu An's face.
The pain pierced his heart again and again like a sharp blade. Seeing the person in his arms gradually recovering, Asu Peiye breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was bearing her backlash, he felt her affection.
The love bell came true, which means she has feelings for him.
Asu Peiye raised his hand and pushed away Asu Yuyi, who was standing beside him with a worried look on his face. He smiled like the bright moon, snow and cotton, with blood foam in his eyes. "Get out of the way."
He shouted angrily, and forced himself to pick up Xu An, refusing to allow anyone else to covet him.
Qi Shichuan opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Asu Peiye's cold look.
The people holding lanterns lowered their heads quickly. They did not dare to look the King of Hell in the eye.
"If even a word of what happened tonight gets out, no matter who it is, I will kill them all."
As he was leaving, Asu Pei Ye chuckled and uttered a threatening remark, which made the servants swallow their throats.
Qi Shichuan bowed to Asu Yuyi and took his leave. He knew that after today, perhaps he would no longer be a member of Baiyao Pavilion.
He walked lonely in the palace courtyard, feeling melancholy.
Now it seems that you and His Highness are in love with each other, so why should I make myself unhappy?
I thought you were the beauty that His Highness had snatched back, but I never imagined that you two were already engaged.
I thought you were ruthless to him, but I didn't know that the love bell came true.
It's really beyond our control. Qi Shichuan, oh Qi Shichuan, there are so many women in this world who practice this kind of medicine, you can't just pick one.
But...Baizhi, why is it that you are the most unique?
Within the borders of the Han Yao Kingdom.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a report was heard in the middle of the night. The emperor sat up as usual and said, "Go ahead."
"Your Majesty, a secret message has come in, Princess Shen Yue... the princess is missing."
As soon as the words fell, an anxious voice came from the people who took turns guarding the imperial camp, "Missing? When did it happen?"
"Reporting to the Third Prince, the secret letter said that the princess had been furious and refused to see anyone since the day the emperor sent reinforcements. The secret guards searched for her yesterday and found that the princess was missing."
"Has the princess left the imperial city?!"
"Shen Yi, I haven't even spoken yet, why are you so reckless?" The emperor interrupted the man's urgent questioning in a harsh voice, and did not pursue the matter. "Send a message back and tell Concubine Wan to let my shadow guard go find the princess."
"Yes."
Just as the man outside the tent was about to speak, the emperor spoke as expected, "Shen Yi, come in."
"Yes, Father."
"sit."
The emperor raised his hand to signal, and Shen Yi sat down, his face full of worry, "Father, Xu An is just a straightforward person, she must not be furious, or just sullen."
Seeing his silly son say that, the emperor relaxed his brows, "Yier, you...hahaha, do you think I will be angry about An'er? Even if An'er burns down the entire palace, I will only think that it is this palace that makes her unhappy. If she really gets angry, so what? I regard her as my own daughter. Isn't it normal for a child to lose her temper at home? If she can't even have a temper at home, then what's the point of my throne coming here."
After hearing this, Shen Yi paused, "Then why was Father so strict just now?"
……
He seemed to have thought of something, and then stood up and knelt down, "Father, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I was too impatient."
"Hahahaha, okay, I don't blame you, but Yier, you have to be more calm in the future, so that I can give you the throne."
The emperor smiled naturally and looked kind, but Shen Yi just felt nervous, "Father, I have no intention of taking the throne, and what's more, I want to marry into the Xiahou Mansion."
"Hey, what do you mean by marrying into the Xiahou Mansion? When did I ever allow you to marry into the Xiahou Mansion?"
These words startled the person kneeling on the ground. He was at a loss as to what to do. He quickly said, "Father, at the banquet that day, in front of all the court officials, Father granted us marriages. Could it be that Father wants to take it back?"
Seeing his nervous look, the emperor smiled and asked slowly, "What if I insist on canceling your marriage with An'er? You can be the king of the world, you can be in charge of the country, you can have supreme power, this is a position that many people dream of."
"Father, please forgive me. It is better to walk hand in hand through the mountain streams and flowing waters than to sit and watch the mountains and rivers. I do not want status, I only want one person."
Shen Yi spoke word by word, and he could hear Xu An's smile in his ears. He only wanted to keep her smile. The kingdom and power were not what he wanted.
"When you become the king, you can keep her by your side. Then she will belong only to you. Isn't that better?"
"Father, even if this is the case, if she doesn't want to, then I don't want to either. Although I want to be a couple, if I have to use this method, I believe she won't want to. I would rather stay by her side like this than to embarrass her."
Hearing this, the emperor laughed heartily, "Great! You really have the same magnanimity as I did back then. Yi'er, it's great that you can think this way. An'er is a likable person, and many young talents are attracted to him. I was afraid that you were narrow-minded, but I didn't expect that you are more magnanimous than me."
?
Shen Yi raised his eyes and paused. Why did he feel like he was being tricked by the emperor?
"Father, am I still your son? How can you help outsiders solve their problems?"
"Hahaha, Yi'er, since you're open-minded, that's good. After all, An'er is simple-minded and may not be open-minded when it comes to love. When the time comes, you won't be able to compete with others, so you should be more generous."
……
The emperor said this with a smile, which made Shen Yi frown.
"Father, Xu An has me in his heart, so I don't need to fight for it."
The emperor understood the jealous words as soon as he heard them. "Yes, yes, An'er has you in her heart, but she also has other people. After marriage, you must work harder and try to have a child with An'er before others. Otherwise, how can you tie our An'er's heart?"
Shen Yi finally understood that his father was on Xu An's side.
When I walked out of the tent, I saw Ze'an, Zhu Yu and Liu Yixiao sitting by the fire. They were silent and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
Ze An raised his eyelids with a worried look on his face, "We all know that Xu An is missing."
"The people sent by the city gate did not see Xu An, but they saw Asu Pei Ye." Zhu Yu rubbed his fingertips, feeling lost.
As they analyzed, several people stared at the burning fire absentmindedly, as if thinking about something.
Shen Yi raised his hand and rubbed one of his temples. "That day, the spy in the palace reported that Asu Pei Ye went to look for Xu An after we left."
"She should not be in Mu'an, but in the Western Regions."
But now, they can't go back. Almost all the monsters in the Han Yao Kingdom have gone berserk, and even the Demon Realm is in chaos. The reinforcements from Wu Lin and the Western Regions have not arrived yet. If they leave, Mu An's soldiers will surely suffer countless casualties.
In the past few days, the fallen demons in the Black Water Pond have been wreaking havoc and have turned the normal monsters in the Cold Demon Realm into demons, making the situation increasingly chaotic. The disciples of the sect are seriously injured and need treatment, and the Mu An army, which has no spiritual power, has been defeated. Now is the time when they are needed.
Zhu Yu took out the playing cards made by Xu An from his arms. His eyes were full of longing and sorrow, and his cold face looked much more haggard.
"A Su Pei Ye will be fine. The princess will be safe in the Western Regions." Liu Yixiao suddenly spoke, disrupting the thoughts of several people.
Shen Yi clenched his hands and exhaled, "I didn't expect that the people who would face life and death together with me would be you."
"Tsk, who wants to share life and death with a love rival? Yan... No, Shen Yi, I treat you as a brother, but you actually like Xu An. Why didn't I see it at the time? You actually have such thoughts. If you had known earlier, you would never have set foot in the door of Xiahou Mansion."
Ze'an crossed his arms and looked at the person beside him. He really regretted it.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Should I call you Brother Xu, Brother Ze, or Brother Zhou?"
"What a mess, Shen Yi, you can call me Brother Ze now, but you should call me Prince Consort from now on."
"Son-in-law? Then who am I, the future son-in-law?" Shen Yigou smiled, and neither of them gave in.
"As it stands now, Xu An is a princess and you are a prince. If you get married, everything will be messed up. Why don't you just give up?"
"So what? His Majesty will take care of it."
……
In the evenly matched round between the two, Zhu Yu had already looked through all the fifty or so pieces of wood.
Shen Yi saw it and revealed a lonely look, "I didn't expect Xu An to give this card to you. At that time, I didn't know that she loved you. I say, Zhu Yushi, what were you thinking at that time? You wanted to use Xu An, right?"
