Chapter 74

Sang Yuanyuan leaned against her large moth and slowly adjusted her breathing.

You Wuming also gradually recovered. He closed his eyes and instantly entered a meditative state.

Not long after, Sang Yuanyuan's fingertips glowed with spiritual energy and a large face flower popped out.

She hadn't seen such a small face flower in a long time. No, at this moment, it didn't even have the qualifications to be called a large face flower.

The flower plate was only the size of a palm. It landed on Sang Yuanyuan's body and lazily stretched out its two green leaves.

Although its size was not up to standard, this small face flower still conscientiously raised its face plate and began to spray the congealed dew on her wound.

After a moment, Sang Yuanyuan slowly turned her head and looked at You Wuming with an indescribable expression.

This large face flower treatment was really instantaneous and miraculous.

As soon as the congealed dew touched the wound, there was immediately a cool and comfortable feeling seeping into it. She could clearly feel the flesh on the wound begin to glow with vitality and quickly heal.

When she planted flowers for him, this dog of a man actually pretended not to feel anything and tricked her into planting densely packed large face flowers on his body.

Shameless!

If she hadn't personally injured herself, she would have thought that the healing ability of the large face flower was really as weak as it appeared.

Just as she was silently cursing, she saw You Wuming's body suddenly sway and a mouthful of blood uncontrollably spurt out from his mouth and splattered on the stone wall opposite him.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth, his chest violently rising and falling.

Sang Yuanyuan jumped in fright. She hurriedly turned the small face flower plate towards him and sprayed him from head to toe.

He raised his hand: "It's nothing.

Heal yourself. "

Sang Yuanyuan stared at the specks of blood on the stone wall.

She saw that when the blood landed on the stone wall, it was like a red-hot iron star being branded on cotton wool. It made a sizzling sound and in an instant, countless spots were burned on the stone wall.

She took a closer look and saw that there was now a faint orange glow in the blood that had been injured by Lei Yuan and was glowing with blue and white lightning.

Sang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat — he was using the Inextinguishable Flame, which could refine all things, to refine the Thunder Essence in his body.

To refine the energy that came from the Heavenly Dao.

Amazing!

Sure enough, she was right. This man, unless she killed him in one blow, any damage she inflicted on him would only make him stronger.

So … if he could successfully refine it, wouldn't he be able to control the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Incredible, the villain Great Demon King indeed had the potential to defy the heavens and kill the gods.

Sang Yuanyuan did not dare to disturb him again.

She suppressed her pounding heart and hung the flower on the ceiling of the grotto above his head. Then, she gently sprinkled a fine mist of Lingyun, which didn't affect him. It only moistened his body and gave him a little help.

After calming herself down, she summoned another Face Flower and placed it on her body to continue the treatment.

Time passed quickly, and the sky outside the grotto gradually darkened. It was night.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but outside the grotto, the roars of the Nether Demons seemed to be more frequent. Even the stone walls were trembling slightly. Sang Yuanyuan thought that the "tide" outside had probably reached the stage of "Tail Howl".

Once the "Tail Howl" came, Han Shaoling could only give up on chasing and help Zhang Zhou defend the border. When this wave of Nether Demons ended, it would be impossible to track them down anymore.

They were completely safe for now!

However, due to the influence of the "Tail Howl", the number of Nether Demons crawling outside the grotto increased greatly. The smell of blood in the grotto attracted even more Nether Demons, and their roars were ear-piercing.

At this moment, the only person who could deal with the Nether Demons was Xiao Doll.

Sang Yuanyuan took a deep breath and forced herself to enter a meditative state. She tried her best to accumulate Lingyun.

…

Xiao Doll took apart the butterfly flowers and gave them to Sang Yuanyuan. She couldn't reattach her broken arm properly.

Her left arm drooped by her side, greatly affecting her mobility. At this moment, the number of Nether Demons increased, and the pressure increased. The mist on her body was quickly depleted. She opened her mouth wide, and looked rather tired.

She lowered her eyes, and a fierce glint appeared in her black eyes. The ruthless determination on her body was very similar to that of You Wuming.

No matter what, she couldn't let these ugly fellows break through her defense line!

Her small body bent over, and she couldn't maintain her balance from time to time. She fell heavily on the ground or hit the wall.

She angrily gathered the greenish-black mist and pounced on those fellows who tried to attack her master and the big dog again and again.

Just as she felt that she couldn't take it anymore, her arm and shoulder suddenly tightened.

A row of fresh butterfly flowers fell on its body, and with a 'ka ka ka' sound, it fixed its arms.

Just as she raised her head, her exhausted body was suddenly pushed to the side by a thick and soft fellow.

Xiao Doll shook her arm in a daze and looked at the bright red behemoth. It was too close, and she couldn't see the whole thing clearly. She couldn't recognize what it was.

It was only when the red fatty opened its petals and pulled the pile of Nether Demon corpses into its mouth and started chewing that the puppet finally realized that this guy was its money bag, the one that could make the shiny Pig Head Flower!

Xiao Doll jumped on the spot and happily grabbed the red fatty's small brown tail. She swung her body around, and her two small wooden legs flew high into the air. She had completely forgotten about her previous fatigue.

At this moment, Shorty had already finished chewing Han Shaoling's arm clean. It even chewed the bones into its mouth as if it was chewing crispy beans. In an instant, it completely disappeared from this world.

"Ou … Wu!"

The big fat dog burped in satisfaction.

If Han Shaoling still had a chance to ask for the arm, then it could only reluctantly give it to him.

Sang Yuanyuan calmed herself down and threw another man-eating flower into the depths of the cave.

This time, the left and right sides were sealed, and she could recuperate in peace.

In the past, she had thought that her ability wasn't cool at all. Other people could swing their Spirit Containing Light Blades after leveling up, which was cool and valiant, but she could only throw out these depressing flowers. But at this moment, she suddenly realized that her ability was a real treasure.

After suffering such heavy injuries, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the ability to kill the enemy.

But she wasn't affected by her injuries at all. As long as she threw out the flowers, she could just sit there and wait to collect money. Her endurance was top-notch.

The two man-eating flowers worked hard, and soon, sparkling Solid Jade Crystals fell down along the brown tail.

Xiao Doll's eyes shone, and the corners of her mouth stretched to the bottom of her ears. She ran left and right, reaching out her small hands to catch the precious crystals in her palms, and then carefully putting them back into the cloth bag.

At this moment, she didn't look tired at all. She was as lively as a monkey that had just been released from a cage.

Sure enough, wealth was the source of motivation for all humanoid creatures.

Sang Yuanyuan rested for a while, then raised her hand and summoned a normal-sized Big Face Flower.

It was like a lotus, sprinkling the Spirit Condensation Dew into streams of water, giving the puppets and the short-lived puppets a thorough hot water bath.

After the bath, the Big Face Flower puffed out its face plate again, and like a hairdryer, it blew out hot air, making the two fluffy and as clean as possible.

It also washed the ground while it was at it. Although it was only for a short period of time, a good living environment was always beneficial to physical and mental health.

She stole a glance at You Wuming.

She saw that under his thin eyelids, there were four colors of blue, white, orange, and green, flickering non-stop like a broken light bulb.

The refining process was at a critical point, so she couldn't disturb it.

Thus, Sang Yuanyuan suppressed the idea of bathing the two of them, and quietly accompanied him by his side, first getting dirty with him.

Suddenly, the Jade Slip on his waist lit up.

Sang Yuanyuan hurriedly took it out, took the Jade Slip, and walked to the side.

Ah Gu's voice sounded.

"My lord, urgent report."

Sang Yuanyuan replied, "He's busy at the moment. If there's anything, just tell me."

After a moment, Ah Gu said, "Yes!

Many prefectures are experiencing 'tide surges', and the scale is astonishing. Many lines are in a state of emergency. Sang, Bai, and Ping prefectures all have areas of the Great Wall that have fallen!

The other prefectures are barely holding on, and the city might be in danger at any time! "

Hearing this, Sang Yuanyuan's heart instantly thumped, and her damaged heart meridian throbbed with pain. She took a deep breath, feeling the chill between her teeth.

Sang, Bai, and Ping prefectures all had areas of the Great Wall that had fallen …

Usually, the Nether Demons' attacks on these three prefectures were not fierce, so why would they suddenly …

Sang Yuanyuan suddenly looked outside the cave.

She saw that the red shadows had formed a red tide, crazily rushing upwards.

Thus, this wave of Nether Demons' attacks, which were different from usual, had also appeared in Zhang Prefecture!

Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly sank. "General Ah Gu, please quickly organize the army and prepare to send troops to support the other prefectures at any time."

"Yes!" Ah Gu replied without hesitation.

"Also," Sang Yuanyuan bit her lips, her gaze resolute. "Inform the seven thousand Mysterious Armored Soldiers in Ping Prefecture to immediately head to the areas where the Great Wall of Ping Prefecture has fallen. Cancel the previous ambush plan."

"Yes!"

With such a strong 'tide surging' suddenly appearing, Han Shaoling would definitely not leave Zhang Prefecture — even a normal 'tide surging' could easily destroy a small boat like Zhang Prefecture, much less this sudden disaster.

If Han Shaoling led the army and left, then Zhang Prefecture would definitely be broken!

Cloud Realm's eighteen prefectures, a single move would affect the entire situation. Han Shaoling would definitely not watch Zhang Prefecture be broken through by the Nether Demons, so he would not leave.

If Han Shaoling did not leave, then the seven thousand Mysterious Armored Soldiers lying in ambush within Ping Prefecture would be meaningless, and would just be a waste of manpower.

It would be better to help Ping Prefecture nearby and reclaim the areas where the Great Wall had fallen.

Sang Yuanyuan thought for a moment and then asked, "How is the eastern front?"

Ah Gu's voice was filled with emotion. "Eastern Prefecture is supporting us, so the eastern front states are fine for now. I heard that Eastern Prefecture King Huangfu Jun has personally headed to the frontlines.

Huangfu Xiong has retreated from Ji Prefecture and is leading troops north to help Qin Prefecture deal with the demons. "

When facing the Nether Demons, the various states and countries were shockingly united. After all, they were bound together for good or ill.

At such a time, the Huangfu Family was an extremely strong and reliable ally.

After defeating the Nether Demons, they would close their doors and deal with their personal grievances.

Sang Yuanyuan quickly went through the map of the entire territory in his mind, and he had a rough idea of the situation.

He could leave the eastern front to Huangfu Jun.

Sang Prefecture was only caught off guard. With his father and brother, they would definitely be able to successfully chase the Nether Demons out.

Han Shaoling would naturally take care of Han Prefecture and Zhang Prefecture. Although he was not reliable as a husband, in terms of ability to kill demons, he was one of the top people in the entire territory.

Ping Prefecture had the help of the seven thousand mysterious armored soldiers, so it should not be a problem.

Hence, the most dangerous place right now was Bai Prefecture, which was extremely weak and far away.

"General Ah Gu, please send a group of elite cavalry through the Great Wall in Sang Prefecture. They will head to Bai Prefecture as soon as possible!"

"Yes!

I will arrange it right away! "

The jade letter shattered.

Sang Yuanyuan took out the jade letter that she used to contact Sang Bujin from her belt.

The jade letter connected, and Sang Bujin's voice sounded out. "Little sister, I will find you later!"

Before he finished, the jade letter shattered.

Sang Yuanyuan heard the roars of the Nether Demons on the other side.

From the sound of it, it did not seem like there was much trouble.

Sang Yuanyuan held the shattered jade letter and went into deep thought.

She thought of something.

In the original plot, after Meng Wuyou and Han Shaoling confirmed their relationship, he had destroyed a sacrifice and saved a young girl.

After that, the Nether Demons' 'Tide Surge' appeared in twelve places at the same time. Just a little bit more, and Cloud Realm's eighteen prefectures would have become a delicious meal for the Nether Demons.

It was very similar to the current situation!

According to the original development of this world, there should not have been such a terrifying wave of Nether Demons at this time.

Could it be that the butterfly effect she brought about could affect the Nether Abyss?

Obviously not.

So, in the original plot, did something happen that she did not notice?

Sang Yuanyuan pondered.

Meng Wuyou and Han Shaoling had been together for several years before she destroyed the sacrifice.

Why didn't she do it before?

Because Han Shaoling did not give her a chance.

Han Shaoling understood Meng Wuyou very well. He knew that if he let her out on the day of the sacrifice, she would definitely cause trouble. So, every time before and after the Hibernation Awakening, he would keep a close eye on her.

Only that one time …

A thought flashed through Sang Yuanyuan's mind.

At that time, under the influence of Meng Wuyou's powerful aura, Han Shaoling's strength had become stronger and stronger. He was not inferior to the Eastern Prefecture.

At that time, the Eastern Prefecture's king, Huangfu Jun, decisively changed his position and invited Han Shaoling and Meng Wuyou to the Sang Prefecture ruins to discuss how to restore Sang Prefecture and raise Meng Wuyou's status. Both sides had a very good discussion.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, Han Shaoling encountered the most dangerous assassination of his life.

Meng Wuyou had been forcefully knocked unconscious and taken away by the guards. She did not know how Han Shaoling had escaped death. She only knew that after he returned with heavy injuries, he did not believe her explanation and claimed that it was her adoptive father, Huangfu Jun, who had set a trap to kill him.

The two of them quarreled fiercely. In the end, Meng Wuyou did not choose her words carefully. She said that if it was her adoptive father who had done it, with Han Shaoling's ability, there was no way he could have come back alive.

Han Shaoling was so angry that he vomited blood. He said that if it was not for justice, he would have died in the valley!

When these words came out, Meng Wuyou felt as if a knife had been twisted in her heart. In order to drive a wedge between her and her adoptive father, Han Shaoling had even made up such a lie!

Naturally, she did not agree. She even quarreled with him until the sky turned dark.

Han Shaoling left in anger. He forgot about the matter of the Hibernation Awakening and ran alone to a quiet lakeside to recuperate.

Then, the Hibernation Awakening happened.

When Sang Yuanyuan thought of this, she felt a chill on her cheeks. Her body could not help but tremble.

She was afraid that the Hibernation Awakening was not because Meng Wuyou had disturbed the human sacrifice, but because …

Han Shaoling had escaped death from Huangfu Jun's hands. It was because of the intervention of the 'Heavenly Dao'!

The real cause of the terrifying demon disaster was the 'Heavenly Dao'!

Sang Yuanyuan's hands and feet were ice-cold. She subconsciously turned around and looked at You Wuming. At this moment, she could not help but rejoice that she had such a person by her side. No matter what kind of storm it was, there would always be someone who would help her in the same boat.

She did not expect that You Wuming had already woken up.

He tilted his head and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

When he saw her look over, he curved his beautiful lips and said, "Little Sang Guo is decisive. Your thoughts are clear and your decisions are correct.

It seems that I won't be able to sit on the throne of Youzhou for long. "

After being teased by him, the chill in her heart dissipated by more than half.

This man could always give people an endless sense of security, no matter when or where.

"Aren't you angry?" She walked back to his side and sat down. She gently leaned her head on his arm.

"Angry about what?" He tilted his head and looked at her.

"I didn't ask for your opinion before giving orders to your subordinates."

Sang Yuanyuan knew that what a ruler was most afraid of was someone seizing power. This' person 'included all the people closest to him, his parents, brothers, sisters, wife, and children.

Compared to the matter of the 'Heavenly Dao', Sang Yuanyuan felt that it was more important to resolve the matter between the two of them first and not leave any traces of animosity.

He gently lifted her chin with his fingertips. "What do you think?"

She looked up at him and saw that his black eyes were deep and serene. She could not see any emotion from them.

"There must be some feeling of being offended."

She sincerely apologized to him. "This time, the situation was urgent and sudden. I saw that you were focused on cultivating and did not dare to disturb you. That was why I acted on my own. It definitely won't happen again."

You Wuming stared at her.

After staring for a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Silly Guo." He pulled her into his arms. "I nodded."

Sang Yuanyuan's gaze swept over, and she saw that there was a fragment of a jade slip next to him.

"That's right." She sighed in relief. "Just now, you also secretly used a jade slip."

"Do I need to secretly?" You Wuming was very dissatisfied. "I openly gave A Gu four words — listen to Madam."

No wonder A Gu had paused for a moment before answering 'yes' the first time. It turned out that 'yes' was said to You Wuming.

This was right.

If a state's military and political affairs could be controlled at will by a person who was not in the position, then the state would not be long from collapse.

You Wuming was a person who knew how to act clearly.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around him. "You Wuming, I feel very at ease when I'm with you."

"Oh, only at ease?" He asked lightly.

"There are many, many more."

She looked up and smiled at him. "But the other things, if spoken of with words, in the end, are pale."

His pupils contracted, and his Adam's apple unconsciously moved up and down.

"What do you want?" He said dryly.

His pair of black eyes were somewhat erratic, and he looked flustered and short of breath, as if he wanted to run away.

Sang Yuanyuan: "… Nothing."

She finally discovered that this guy's tolerance for romantic words was practically zero.

When it was inconvenient to do certain things, he couldn't even withstand the slightest bit of teasing.

"I just discovered a secret." She burrowed out of his embrace and sat cross-legged across from him, speaking seriously.

You Wuming calmly sighed in relief. "What?"

"That so-called 'Heavenly Law', once it interferes with the affairs of the world, it will trigger the Underworld Demon Frenzy."

You Wuming slightly raised a brow. "For example, right now?"

"Yes!" Sang Yuanyuan's expression was certain.

He gently and slowly nodded. "There must be a very crucial link that we don't know about."

"That's right." Sang Yuanyuan said, "Sooner or later, we will definitely tear off its veil."

"Soon." You Wuming said lightly.

Sang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. "You've succeeded in refining it?"

He revealed a smug expression, and very disdainfully narrowed his eyes. "Is this kind of thing difficult?"

"Then can we take a bath?"

Sang Yuanyuan happily pointed at the short-lived dog and the doll. "Look, I've just invented a new showerhead. I've tested it with them, and there are no disadvantages at all."

The short-lived dog and the doll turned their heads at the same time, and cast a death stare at Sang Yuanyuan. "…" Did he mean to use them to test the poison?

She decisively nestled into You Wuming's embrace. The dog and the doll hurriedly looked at the sky outside, as if nothing had happened.

Sang Yuanyuan summoned the big face flower.

After half an hour, the two people, together with their bloodstained clothes, were washed clean.

She let her long, soft, fluffy hair fall over her shoulders. Every now and then, the strands of hair would carelessly brush his face, his hands, and his half-open chest.

"What is the power of the 'Heavenly Dao' like? Let me see." She blinked her eyes, seeking knowledge.

You Wuming's face was full of arrogance. "No."

Thus, she knew that the refining was not completely successful.

"What do we do now?"

You Wuming used his chin to point at the dark depths of the cave. "Go straight east, and reach the underground of Qinzhou.

Your judgment is not wrong. Except for Bai Zhou, the other places should be fine for the time being.

Just in time, we can use this wave of Ming Mo and Huangfu Xiong's hands to deal with the underground city of Qinzhou. "

Sang Yuanyuan happily narrowed his eyes. "I remember, back then, someone said that he wanted to deal with the two matters of Zhang Zhou and Qinzhou together."

The underground city of Qinzhou, the rebellion of the false king in Zhang Zhou.

No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like they could be pulled together to deal with it.

You Wuming: "?"

Why did he remember that he only said that he wanted to deal with these two matters on this trip, and did not say that he wanted to deal with them together?

Looking at Sang Yuanyuan's curved smiling eyes, You Wuming's black eyes slowly turned, and he disdainfully laughed. "It's a small matter."

"Let's go." He brushed his battle robe, stood up, and walked east.

His back was straight, and his figure was perfect. It was impossible to tell that he was seriously injured.

After taking a few steps, he turned his face. "Sang Guo?"

She was staring at him in a daze. In the pitch-black cave, his lines were like black and white paper cuts, unusually neat and distinct. The side of his face was cold and pale, making him look even more otherworldly.

"You're here." She smiled and welcomed him.

Her back was to the light, and when he looked at her, there was only a silhouette.

Just this silhouette was extremely beautiful and adorable.

He did not say anything, and turned his head away, hiding the smile on his face. He did not let her see, so that she would not be proud.

The man-eating flower opened the path in front, and Short-lived carried two people and a doll closely behind. It looked a little unhappy — it was hungry.

Its round belly was visibly thinner.

As soon as they set out, a jade slip on Sang Yuanyuan's body lit up.

"It's big brother."

She hurriedly took out the jade slip.

Sang Bujin's voice sounded. "Little sister, there's no need to worry. Sang Zhou is fine. Father and I will kill a few more waves, and we'll be able to take back the city gate."

Sang Yuanyuan sighed in relief. "That's good."

Sang Bujin said, "En, there's something I need to tell you first. The guests on your wedding day have all been screened, and there's no problem.

The problem should be with the Temple of Heaven's Saint that day. That Saint's surname is Yun. I've already sent Yun Xuzhou to investigate, but there hasn't been any news yet. You should be careful when you're outside. If you meet someone surnamed Yun, you must be careful. "

You Wuming gracefully reached out and took the jade slip from Sang Yuanyuan's hand. He put it to his lips and said gently, "It's fine. If he dares to come near, I'll twist his head."

Sang Bujin said, "Alright!

I'll leave it to brother-in-law!

With you here, I'm relieved! "

He looked like he was greatly relieved.

You Wuming smiled. "It's a small matter."

Sang Yuanyuan was speechless.
