Capítulo 861: Chapter 666: Arao, What Are You to Me
The murderous aura gradually congealed into ice in her eyes, and she restored her indifferent expression.
With a flick of her finger, the solar flame hidden within the gold-edged jade ring in her hand was casually flung out, transforming into a fierce flame chain.
“It is late tonight, everyone should disperse now. As for the Demon Queen, to avoid trouble from the Immortal World, I believe you all know what needs to be done, right?”
Only the heart-wrenching scream of Zhi Yuyan was heard, tightly bound by that flame chain.
Her corpse demon body, just unearthed, was like a newborn that couldn’t withstand the sun flame; as soon as it was bound, the flesh on her body immediately charred and cracked, losing the ability to resist.
The Female Demon Lord couldn’t vent her inner anger on Baili An, so she had no choice but to unleash her fury on Mi Lu and Zhi Yuyan, mother and son.
With this order, the surviving Demon Ministers dared not delay. Two of them picked up the Demon Queen, Zhi Yuyan, while one ceremoniously inserted a sharpened piece of Yang Wood into her heart without hesitation.
With this, Zhi Yuyan no longer even had the strength to scream, only a dying, despairing moan came from her throat.
The blood-red pupils gradually lightened, returning to a dead black color, and corpse spots slowly covered her mature, alluring face.
Her black hair became a pale Chuicang, and her head tilted, completely losing control of her body.
“No!!” Mi Lu’s heart nearly burst with rage, he roared, “How dare you touch my mother! No! Don’t take her away!”
“Young Lord, why do you do this to yourself? The Demon Queen is no longer the same as she once was; now she’s merely a corpse being manipulated and tormented by traitors. She doesn’t remember you, so why let her remain restless even in death!” a Demon Minister tried to persuade earnestly.
“That’s my mother! I won’t allow you to treat her ! Take your dirty hands off her!!”
“Please do not make things difficult for us, Your Highness.”
A group of Demon Officials appeared to be sincerely advising, but how could it not be obvious that the Demon Lord and Young Lord were not on good terms? Several people, without much care, sneakily jabbed hard at Mi Lu’s spine.
His face instantly turned ashen, and he fell to the ground like a dog, but even then he did not let go of Zhi Yuyan’s hem, not even calling her mother anymore, but crying with red eyes: “Mother! Mother! Don’t leave me! Don’t abandon me alone!”
With her head tilted, Zhi Yuyan, whose eyes had lost their luster, suddenly seemed to be triggered by something.
Despite her supposed loss of consciousness, she somehow managed to raise her head slowly, gazing at Mi Lu before slowly opening her mouth and uttering: “Ah ah…”
Two streaks of blood tears began to flow slowly from the corpse demon’s eye sockets.
Blood gushed from her mouth, making her pale face look endlessly mournful.
“Ah… ah ah… Tao’er, Tao’er…”
“Tao’er,” this slightly unsophisticated and tender name might be unfamiliar to others, but for Mi Lu, it was the best childhood name that accompanied him through his youth.
In this world, was there only one person who called him that?
Mi Lu nearly went mad, disregarding the immense pain in his body. He wildly tried to struggle up from the ground, only to be pinned down tightly by a quick-sighted Demon Official.
Mi Lu clung to Zhi Yuyan’s hem, wailing mournfully, “She still remembers! She still remembers! Don’t kill my mother again… don’t!”
The inhabitants of the Demon World often gathered and served others for profit and were quick to abandon them when it wasn’t beneficial.
Since the Demon Lord’s return, Mi Lu had repeatedly challenged the Demon Lord, continuously losing and failing to change.
Tonight, before the crowd and facing Mi Lu in the Monarch Hall, the Demon Lord intended to once again cast the Demon Queen back into the Royal Mausoleum, clearly not planning to leave him any face.
Although mindful of Mi Lu’s status as the Young Lord, they couldn’t go too far in showing goodwill to the Demon Lord at Mi Lu’s expense, yet the command had already been issued.
All these leftover corpses required someone to clean up; Mi Lu’s agitated interruptions and several delays might lead His Majesty to think they were incompetent.
Freshly acquired high official titles and riches—no one wanted to lose them so easily.
Gradually, the crowd lost patience, and their actions grew increasingly coarse and heavy, the thumping sound of blows landing on him echoed dully.
A few people closed in, seemingly advising him softly but effectively blocking the view from outside, pinning him to the ground to deliver several vicious blows.
Mi Lu didn’t even grunt, forcibly enduring the sinister attacks, blood pouring from his mouth and nose.
He leaned against the cold ground, his body curling up in pain but still refusing to release his grip on the hem tightly held in his hand.
Someone with quick reflexes drew a sword, severing the hem of Zhi Yuyan’s garment. Clutching the piece of fabric, Mi Lu desperately crawled forward, only for several men to clutch his shoulders, pressing him to the ground like a dead dog.
Mi Lu’s mind buzzed erratically, his throat burning with dry agony, the frenzy of his distraught howls filled his ears, unaware of what he was even shouting.
In the chaos, a deep and urgent voice rang out above him: “Nail her down!” The source of this content ɪs novel※fire.net
Mi Lu’s struggling abruptly ceased, and in that moment, the bloodstream felt like it froze into ice.
However, before he could react, the remnants of the Yang Wood outside his body were mercilessly thrust into the heart of the woman before him.
The momentum of the impaling was fierce, and the blood-stained wedge directly pierced through from the back, where the woman just moments ago was emanating a vengeful aura.
Suddenly, like a balloon pierced, the yin energy within the clothes burst out wildly, the once glossy black hair now visibly turning pale.
The plump skin quickly shriveled and yellowed, the vital essence under the skin devoured madly by the wooden stake.
