Chapter 50: Surrounded by Enemies
Seeing a little fox who had no idea what the Thousand Demons Cave was, Mo Yuan felt a pang in his heart. He felt sad for Xian Yue’s memory loss and for the little fox’s ignorance. Looking at her innocent face, Mo Yuan couldn’t help but feel like he had made some mistake.
Perhaps… it should be him who vanished, not Big Green? However, Big Green had always been just an illusion. Even though they were the same person, Big Green was only a part of him, not the real person. Looking at Cancan, he said, "The Thousand Demons Cave is the deepest, most evil part of the Demon Realm. If you don’t have magic and try to leave alone, you’ll end up with nowhere to bury yourself." As he spoke, Mo Yuan’s sweat kept flowing, and he conjured a cold misty ice ball, pressing it onto his wound. The ice ball instantly dissipated into his body, turning his face into ice shards.
Cancan simply watched, pursing her lips and saying nothing, her hand instinctively moving to her shoulder.
The hockey couldn’t ease Mo Yuan’s pain, Hua Qing’s blood can corrode the heart, the Icebreaker Sword is a unique weapon. With Hua Qing’s blood, if not for joining forces with Big Green, he might have been fatally stabbed by Hua Qing. Now, it’s a stroke of luck in misfortune.
Maybe Hua Qing’s blood was working, Mo Yuan was in more pain, curled up on the ground, trembling constantly.
Strange cries sounded, Cancan looked up and saw several large birds flying in the dark sky. In the past, she couldn’t see them, but with the Snowflake Glass, she felt better.
The strange birds finally arrived next to the group, Mo Yuan immediately became alert, "Ying Tu, what are you here for."
The lead strange bird instantly transformed into a human form, with a very strange appearance, seeming neither male nor female, giving an unreal feeling. He chuckled, then in a flirtatious manner said, "Mo Yuan, I admire you so much, but you only have affections for this small creature. How can I, a stunning person, compare to Xian Yue’s reincarnation."
Cancan exclaimed, "You are a woman!" glancing at his chest, condemningly saying, "You are clearly a man."
A shrill voice spoke, but the flat chest clearly indicated a man. A man adoring another man, no wonder the Demon Realm lacked good people.
Maybe Cancan’s words triggered him, Ying Tu immediately breathed fire, heading straight for Cancan, who tried to dodge only to see Ying Tu abruptly stop, making the fireball disappear.
He hesitated for a moment, then sneered, "So, Mo Yuan sealed you with a barrier? I must be something special with this formation." His voice became rougher, arrogant, "I bet you’re seriously injured, this formation is quite mediocre. Mo Yuan, in the end, you’re not fit to be the ruler of the Demon Realm, I suggest…hehehe!" He stared weirdly at Mo Yuan, saying, "Why not let me be this Demon Lord. As for the Snowflake Glass… I will reseal our Demon Realm’s holy object, shine in our Demon Realm, and challenge those thieves from the Immortal Realm."
After speaking, he attacked Mo Yuan. Even though Mo Yuan was hurt, he kept fighting against him. Ying Tu was powerful and had some big birds helping him. Mo Yuan was getting more injured and had to retreat.
Cancan was trapped and worried seeing Mo Yuan coughing up blood. Even though she wasn’t a good person, she remembered how Brother Big Green had always protected her.
For some reason, the more hurt Mo Yuan got, the more he started to look like Big Green. Ying Tu kept pressuring him, laughing and saying that Mo Yuan wouldn’t last long after being hit by Hua Qing’s Icebreaker Sword.
Even though he looked like Big Green, his voice was still Mo Yuan’s. Mo Yuan accused Ying Tu of conspiring with Hua Yun, a fallen high immortal. He warned Ying Tu not to underestimate him, as he had defeated him centuries ago.
Ying Tu used a spell and an invisible sword flew out, shattering as soon as Cancan screamed. Her scream caused the surroundings to shake.
The barrier Mo Yuan had built around Cancan shattered, causing chaos. Her screams made it seem like the cave was collapsing.
Ying Tu was shaken and spat out blood. He tried to reach Cancan but was shocked by the rainbow light around her. The nearest bird was knocked down and died from her power.
Seeing this, Ying Tu changed his tactics and transformed, flying away.
Seeing him retreat, Cancan ran to Mo Yuan and asked, "Are you okay?"
Mo Yuan weakly smiled and cast a spell, and the two of them vanished into the Thousand Demons Cave.
Ying Tu, newly arrived, was filled with hatred. He shouted, "Quickly control the Demon Realm. We must not let them escape. This time, I will not spare them, I will scatter their spirits."
A large bird shrank back and said, "Lord Ying Tu, that little fox, she has the Snowflake Glass! Even if we find them, we may not be a match for them."
Ying Tu said ominously, "She won’t use the Snowflake Glass. I refuse to believe that she can evoke its power every time." Then he chuckled sinisterly, "The power of the Snowflake Glass is maximized only in the Demon Realm. At this moment, her skills are still shallow and she won’t use the Snowflake Glass. If we can lure her to the human realm, it would surely be twice as easy."
"Lord Ying Tu, you are wise."
Ying Tu was cunning and malicious, while Cancan was unaware of their plans. At the moment, she could only flee with the heavily injured Mo Yuan. At least, Mo Yuan now resembled her Brother Wolf, and she couldn’t abandon him. The two of them didn’t know how long they had been fleeing, and Cancan, unfamiliar with the Demon Realm, panicked and ended up in dangerous no man’s lands several times.
Mo Yuan was very weak, but he managed to smile and say, "Xian Yue, I knew you would save me."
You will save me, just like I saved you five hundred years ago. Fate has deeply intertwined us long ago.
Cancan rolled her eyes and said, "If I were you, I would just shut up and follow quietly. Being a burden, yet still chattering non-stop. If you weren’t so malicious, I wouldn’t have lost contact with Hua Qing." Mentioning Hua Qing, Cancan covered her chest, feeling a sudden pang in her heart.
Soon, Cancan pretended to not care and quickly needed to find a hiding place instead of thinking about other things.
After kicking Mo Yuan, Cancan asked, "Since you know this place well, where do you think we should hide?"
Mo Yuan smiled, "The most dangerous place is also the safest. He would never expect us to return to Thousand Demons Cave."
Cancan thought that sounded right.
Cancan and Mo Yuan returned to Thousand Demons Cave. Mo Yuan still looked like Big Green. They found a hidden spot to hide. Cancan looked at him and said, "You look just like Brother Big Green now."
Mo Yuan explained, "I got injured so my appearance changed. But as I recover, it will go back to normal. Even though I look like Big Green, I am still Mo Yuan. It’s funny, I wanted to call you Xian Yue, but I can’t. Everything about you tells me you’re Cancan."
Mo Yuan couldn’t describe his feelings. He found Xian Yue and Snowflake Glass but he didn’t feel happy. Cancan reminded him that she was Xian Yue reincarnated but didn’t remember their past. She was just Hu Cancan, a little fox.
"I am Cancan. Xian Yue is gone. Why hold on to the past?" Cancan didn’t want to be Xian Yue. She would rather be the silly fox at Shu Mountain. She was happy just being with Hua Qing, her biggest dream. No, not just his student, but his wife. She wanted to be with Hua Qing.
Thinking about this made Cancan even sadder. Tears fell down her cheeks. Mo Yuan felt a strange feeling seeing her like this. After a pause, he asked, "Is Hua Qing that important to you?"
Cancan looked up and said angrily to Mo Yuan, "You are a great demon king, so you naturally do not understand feelings."
"Not understand?" Mo Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he started coughing. After coughing for a while, he almost collapsed to the ground. He looked pale with dry, cracked lips. "If I didn’t understand, why did I use Snowflake Glass to save Xian Yue back then?" He weakly leaned against a broken wall, "It is because I understand that I gave you the sacred object of the Demon Realm; it is because I understand that I turned a fragment of my soul into Big Green to protect you in a critical moment. It is just that Xian Yue, in the end, is the one who doesn’t understand. Hua Qing does not love you, whether it’s Xian Yue or Cancan, he doesn’t love you. Do you understand?"
Cancan looked at Mo Yuan in disbelief and tremblingly asked, "Xian Yue… Does Xian Yue also like Hua Qing?"
Mo Yuan stared into Cancan’s eyes and asked slowly, "If she doesn’t love him, why did Xian Yue become possessed?"
