After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Yang Mei first sipped a cup of tea leisurely, and when Qing Cang was almost angry, she spoke up, "To be honest, before we had the final battle at the Ruoshui River, I sent my Xiaowu to the Great Ziming Palace to take Lingyu away."

Qingcang blinked his eyes: "Does that mean you would still look after Ayu even if I didn't ask you for help?"

"Of course." Yang Mei nodded.

"Then he was poisoned..."

"I solved it." Yang Mei stretched out her hand and brushed the table, and a faint blue grass appeared. "Look, this is the soul-stealing grass that I cultivated. Due to various reasons, Ling Yu got one, and he extracted the toxin and refined it into the dagger.

Such weapons were naturally prepared for the enemy, but Ling Yu was unlucky and met a scoundrel like you, who drugged him. As a result, you saw that he put the poisoned dagger into his own chest.

You don't know that I can cure the poison he was poisoned with, and I don't know that he was poisoned by the soul-stealing grass.

In the final analysis, it is Ling Yu and you who are destined to suffer this misfortune."

Qingcang lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "I am sincere to Lingyu."

"What's the point of you telling me." There is no such thing as marriage mediation in this world, otherwise Yang Mei would have thrown him over long ago. How could she tolerate him nagging here?

Qingcang lay on the ground dejectedly. What was the situation now? He wanted to change his ways, but no one believed him.

"When pursuing someone, you must always act like one. If you really don't know how, go to the mortal world and see how ordinary people pursue their loved ones!"

Qingcang's ears pricked up all of a sudden. These words were not said by Yang Mei who was sitting opposite him, but were conveyed to him by the old man Donghua.

Yes, this person has now successfully pursued Bai Zhen, and I think he wants to pass on some experience to him.

Qingcang, with his eyes bright, said goodbye to Yang Mei and headed straight for the mortal world after leaving Qingqiu.

Donghua appeared beside Yang Mei and said: "Seventy thousand years have passed. Both Mo Yuan and Qing Cang have become fussy. It shows that love is very torturous. One thought can make a person live, and one thought can make a person die." Thinking back to when he was pursuing his sweetheart before, it was also very difficult.

"Didn't you have something to go back to Taichen Palace for? How did you finish it so quickly?" Yang Mei asked in surprise. When Siming came to see him before, he seemed quite anxious.

Donghua shook his head. "I have a subordinate named Meng Hao. He disappeared many years ago. I calculated that he had met with a calamity, so I didn't send anyone to look for him at that time. But now tens of thousands of years have passed, and this person's whereabouts are still unknown, so I asked Chonglin to investigate, and now he has finally been found. I'm going to Baishui Mountain soon, do you want to come with me?"

"Is it the Baishui Mountain in the southern wilderness of the Demon Clan?" Yang Mei readily agreed. He had never been to Baishui Mountain.

Baishui Mountain is located in the territory of the Demon Clan. No one knows whether the terrain is naturally like this or if the Demon Clan deliberately changed it after settling down. At a glance, all you can see is black, white and gray, which is really depressing.

Donghua led the way, and the two entered a cave in Baishui Mountain. The cave was densely covered with stalactites, like sharp swords hanging upside down in the air. Under the stalactites seemed to be an underground river in the mountain, pitch black and silent.

After they flew onto a circular platform, Donghua said to the empty cave, "Come out."

No one answered, not even a splash was made.

Donghua didn't want to say more, he just took out the Cang He Sword and swung it forward. The sword energy was so sharp that it cut many stalactites in half and dropped them into the water below.

The dark river was no longer calm. A black dragon flew out from the rolling waves, swinging its huge body towards Yang Mei and Donghua.

Donghua said expressionlessly: "Why, you don't recognize my sword either?"

The black dragon just roared and circled in the air for a while before it seemed to have figured something out and transformed into a human form and landed on the platform.

The strange thing was that he had two black iron chains that were glowing red tied to his body. The chains were tightly clasped on both sides of his shoulders, piercing through his shoulder blades, and the other end was immersed in the darkness.

A golden light flashed in Yang Mei's eyes for a moment, and she clearly saw that the other end of the chain was connected to the Baishui Mountain, which was extremely solid.

The black dragon transformed into a human with disheveled hair and knelt in front of Donghua without saying a word.

"Meng Hao pays his respects to the Emperor." Meng Hao bowed his head to the ground.

"Get up." Donghua put away the Cang He sword in his hand. Since this man has not lost his mind and cannot recognize people, there is no need to use force for the time being.

Meng Hao did not stand up, but remained kneeling and straightened his upper body.

Donghua asked him, "Why did you end up in this situation?" Yang Mei was also a little curious.

"Your Majesty, the previous Red Demon King used his queen as bait to trap me in Baishui Mountain. He also used the dragon-catching lock to penetrate my dragon bones and seal my magic power. He has been guarding the dragon brain tree in the pond for months and years."

"Using their queen as bait?" Yang Mei showed an expression of "absurdity". "Could it be that you have a love affair with the queen of the Red Demon Lord? I see that you are quite capable, so you shouldn't be unable to escape."

Meng Hao didn’t know Yang Mei, but seeing that the immortal aura around him was comparable to that of Emperor Donghua, he knew that he was also a powerful god.

"Love is something that is deeply rooted in my bones and marrow. It's because my cultivation is not enough that I can't overcome this love calamity. I am trapped here, but I am willing to do so." Meng Hao's expression was complicated, as if he was recalling something.

Donghua sneered, "Willingly? I think you are crazy!"

Meng Hao did not defend himself, but simply said: "I was seduced by the demons, and I feel guilty towards the Emperor. I am willing to suffer here to pay for my sins!"

"Rather than saying that I'm suffering a disaster here, it's better to say that I'm fulfilling your deep love." Yang Mei shook her head. It seemed that she only encountered people and things related to love recently.

Donghua looked at Meng Hao and said in a deep voice, "Are you really unwilling to leave?"

Meng Hao knocked his head to the ground: "Please grant me your blessing, my Lord!"

"The former Scarlet Demon Lord's queen should be dead by now, but you are still obsessed with her?" Donghua admired Meng Hao's ability very much. If possible, he certainly hoped to persuade Meng Hao to resolve his obsession and leave here.

But Meng Hao was clearly determined: "I dare not deceive the Emperor. Meng Hao is obsessed with it. I can't forget it, and I don't want to forget it."

"Is it worth it?" Donghua frowned.

Meng Hao looked sad: "In the eyes of others, this is a disaster, but for me, it is sweet. The emperor cares about the people of the world and never indulges in love. Naturally, he cannot understand the taste of this."

Donghua: “…” My subordinates seem to have some misunderstanding about me.

“Puchi! Hahahahaha…” Yang Mei smiled and fell on Donghua, “Isn’t he talking about you? Emperor Donghua?”

Donghua smiled dotingly yet helplessly, and put his arm around Yang Mei's waist, fearing that he would collapse on the ground laughing accidentally.

Meng Hao was stunned: "This, this, Emperor, you..."

Donghua remained calm and said, "Let me introduce you to my Taoist partner, the Fourth Prince of Qingqiu, Lord Bai Zhen."

Meng Hao had heard of the name Bai Zhen before, but because he had been trapped here for many years, his impression of him was only that "the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu has a son with outstanding talent."

Let's get back to the topic, "Since you insist on staying here, I won't force you. You can do whatever you want." Everyone has his own destiny. Even if Meng Hao is forcibly taken away from here today, his heart will still remain here.

Yang Mei stopped smiling at this time. He rubbed his cheeks, which were a little sore from smiling, with one hand, and a sword appeared in the other hand.

“There’s no need to suffer if you stay here.” He waved his hand and threw the sword in his hand at Meng Hao. The sharp sword cut off the two chains that pierced Meng Hao’s scapula at once.

Yang Mei looked down into Meng Hao's eyes and said, "Then take care." After that, he and Donghua disappeared into the cave.

……

Meanwhile, the current Red Demon Lord is trying to convince his sister Princess Ji Heng to marry Emperor Donghua.

"Heng'er, this matter is of great importance. It concerns the future of our demon race. You should think it over carefully before giving me an answer. After all, only my sister can match a father of such noble status."

Ji Heng: “…”

Not to mention that Ji Heng already has a lover in her heart, even her bodyguard Min Su, let alone the countless ladies in the world who are of equal or more noble status than her, just talk about Emperor Donghua, she heard that he has a Taoist partner, who is the Fourth Prince of Qingqiu, Lord Bai Zhen!

"Don't you know that Emperor Donghua already has a Taoist partner?"

"I know who you're talking about. Isn't it the Supreme God Bai Zhen from Qingqiu?" The Red Demon Lord showed a look of confidence. "It's just a cover. It's against the will of heaven for two men to be together. They won't last long!"

There was no point in talking, so Ji Heng turned around and left without saying anything more.

Although she did not agree to marry Emperor Donghua, her brother, Demon Lord Chi, was a man with ulterior motives and quickly spread the news to the entire demon clan.

……

After leaving Baishui Mountain, Yang Mei and Donghua returned to Taichen Palace. The little princess of Qingqiu was living happily in Taichen Palace, and as the fourth uncle, he had to go and see what was going on.

As everyone knows, Siming Xingjun is a staff member. He is the first secretary general under Emperor Donghua, which means he has to go to work and cannot always be with Fengjiu.

But it doesn’t matter. Fengjiu thinks that if the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the mountain, so she lives in Taichen Palace now.

It just so happened that Zhihe also lived here, and the two of them usually practiced and played together, so their life was not too boring.

Only a few days had passed since the incident began when Chonglin presented him with a document.

"Emperor, Grandma Dou Mu has sent a challenge letter from the Demon Lord Yan Chiwu, requesting a fight with you."

Donghua sipped his tea and pretended not to hear. Yang Mei waved at Chonglin and said, "Bring it here and let me see it."

It was actually a roll of parchment. Yang Mei unfolded it and said, "Yan Chiwu, I remember he seemed to be the twin brother of Zi Lan, the sixteenth disciple of Kunlun Ruins. Why did she challenge Donghua for no reason?"

Chonglin couldn't answer this question, but fortunately Siming, who was the most well-informed, was right next to him.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince may not know that the Demon King Xiaoyan of the Demon Clan is the most belligerent. But in addition to this, there is actually another reason why he issued the challenge at this time." Siming paused for a moment, "This news came out in the past few days. I personally think this is nonsense, so I didn't mention it to the Emperor and Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Tell me about it." Donghua put down the teacup.

"For some reason, the demon clan has been making a big fuss over the past few days that Princess Ji Heng, the sister of Demon Lord Chi, is about to marry the emperor and become the empress. Princess Ji Heng is the sweetheart of Demon Lord Yan Chiwu, the Little Swallow. I heard that the demon clan values ​​the use of force, so maybe Demon Lord Yan Chiwu thinks that as long as he defeats the emperor, Princess Ji Heng will not marry him."

Yang Mei: “…” Oh, someone wants to steal my man.

"How ridiculous! How come it is the demon clan that decides who I marry as my empress?!" Donghua said in a bad tone.

"Then, Emperor, how should we respond to this letter of challenge?" Chonglin asked.

Donghua reached out and took out a tea leaf from the cup and showed it to Chonglin: "Chonglin, what do you think of this tea leaf?"

Chonglin looked confused: "Your Majesty, Chonglin can't see the way."

Donghua asked again: "Then do you know what is the most important thing about tea?"

Chonglin answered honestly, "The Emperor once said that the most important thing about tea is picking the tea leaves in season."

Donghua nodded slightly: "Yes, it's the right time."

Chonglin suddenly realized: "Chonglin understands!" Then he left happily.

Since the Emperor mentioned the timing, he must mean that a fight requires timing and fate, and the timing is not right now, so he will not accept the challenge.

Chonglin wrote a letter, stating that "It is the tea picking season in Taichen Palace, so the emperor is busy and has no intention of fighting."

As soon as Chonglin walked out of the house, Fengjiu and Zhihe came in. Fengjiu was holding a huge fish in her hand.

Sima Ming hurried over to take the fish into his hands, then took out a handkerchief to wipe Fengjiu's hands.

"Why did you think of catching fish? This fish is very big." Siming was very supportive. Whatever his little prince caught was excellent.

Fengjiu stretched out her hand and waited obediently for Siming to wipe it for her. "Zhihe and I were passing by the pond, and we heard the sound of water in the pond. This big fish jumped out of the water more than three feet high. I tell you, this kind of lively fish must be delicious, so I forked it back."

After wiping her hands, Fengjiu ran to Yang Mei and said, "Fourth Uncle, do you want grilled fish or braised fish? Sweet and sour is fine too, I can make both!"

Even though Princess Fengjiu is in love, she is still a lackey of her Fourth Uncle!

Yang Mei looked at the freshly killed big fish in Siming's hand, with a suspicious look on her face: "Why doesn't this fish look like it was originally from Taichen Palace? It's so big, could it be a fish demon that can transform into a human form?"

"Ah?" Fengjiu was dumbfounded. Let alone others, she and her fourth uncle never eat ingredients that can talk.

“You’ll know once you see it.” A ray of light shot out from Yang Mei’s fingertips and hit the big fish.

The big fish fell to the ground and turned into a human corpse.

Everyone: "!!!"

"...Who is he?" Yang Mei turned to look at Donghua.

Donghua didn’t know either, and they looked at Siming again.

Siming looked at the corpse on the ground carefully under the gazes of everyone.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Xuan Yue, a subordinate demon general of Demon Lord Xiaoyan." Siming said with certainty.
