Huihui's words made sense. When the snake spirit woke up, I would immediately take him away from here.
But she told me not to tell the snake spirit about Huihui's death … I was silent for a moment.
It wasn't that I didn't understand what she meant, but if I did that, it would be too unfair to Huihui.
She seemed to see through my thoughts and quickly said, "Huihui is a person who is about to die. Thanks to Brother Long for saving me, it is Huihui's great fortune to return my life to Brother Long.
Brother Long's blood has been in Huihui's body for hundreds of years.
This return also means that Huihui can accompany Brother Long at any time. Huihui can die without regrets.
Huihui only wishes to be with Brother Long in the next life. "
Her words moved me. It reminded me of Wu Yue's words in Chiyou's tomb.
It could be said that since ancient times, the most bitter people in the world were infatuated with love.
Tong Tong, who was next to me, couldn't bear to see this. She turned around and flew back into the jade bracelet.
After Huihui said this, she gritted her teeth and used the last of her strength to force out the blood that the snake spirit had given her.
She held the drop of blood in her hands and handed it to me. Her eyes were blurred and she couldn't speak.
However, I also knew what she meant. She wanted to ask me to cure the snake spirit.
I nodded and responded softly. Huihui squeezed out a smile and her hands fell naturally.
Although Huihui had left, the most important thing right now was to treat the snake spirit as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
I let out a long sigh and calmed myself down. Then, a strong Taoist aura appeared on my hands and I injected the blood into the snake spirit's body.
This was far from enough. The snake spirit's injuries were too serious and couldn't repair itself. It needed an external force to guide the blood back to its original position.
As such, I didn't delay. The Taoist aura in my body circulated wildly and wrapped around the snake spirit's huge dragon body.
After an unknown amount of time, the snake spirit's blood returned to its original position. The huge dragon body gradually returned to its original appearance, but the snake spirit still hadn't woken up.
After a long struggle, the Taoist aura in my body was exhausted again. Fortunately, the sound of our fight didn't attract the Liu Clan, so there was enough time for us to recover.
Two hours later, the Snake Spirit finally opened his eyes. The first thing he said was to ask about Huihui's situation.
I didn't tell him. Instead, I pointed at Huihui, who had turned into a little white snake.
The spirit snake followed my finger and looked in the direction I was pointing at. Then, it moved its head forward and sniffed. Tears welled up in its eyes. It lifted its head and roared.
Then, he returned to his human form and held Huihui in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "What's going on?"
When he asked, I followed Huihui's instructions and told the spirit snake, emphasizing that Huihui didn't want him to take revenge.
After listening to me, the spirit snake was enraged. It ignored my attempts to stop it and dashed out of the valley.
Seeing this, my heart tightened and I immediately chased after him. I stopped in front of him and scolded, "If you go like this, you'll be courting death.
Before Huihui left, she said that as long as you're alive, she'll be alive. Think about it yourself. "
Then, I stepped aside and signaled for him to make his own choice.
After listening to my words, he was stunned. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I want to take Huihui out and bury her properly."
Seeing him like this, I felt sorry for him. I walked forward and patted his shoulder. "It's not that we don't want to take revenge, but we don't have enough strength to protect ourselves.
One day, we'll come back to collect the debt. "
After I said that, the spirit snake's complexion improved a little. He nodded and handed the little white snake to me. Then, he turned around and transformed back into his original form. He hit the monster energy barrier in front of us.
In the blink of an eye, the monster energy barrier shattered, revealing an empty valley.
Now that the monster energy in the jade bracelet had been exhausted, we didn't dare to stay here any longer. I flew and landed on the back of the spirit snake, and the two of us flew in the direction we had come from.
I signaled the spirit snake to speed up. I didn't slow down and urged the Taoist energy in my body to increase our flying speed.
In just ten seconds, we rushed out of the Liu Clan and landed in the place we had come from.
After landing, we didn't dare to stop for even a moment because I faintly felt that someone was chasing behind us.
The spirit snake's injury hadn't healed yet. After flying at such a high speed, it had exhausted its strength. At this time, it was lying on the ground and panting.
Seeing this, I signaled for him to return to my back.
The spirit snake didn't dare to hesitate. He stood up shakily and disappeared.
After the spirit snake left, I hid my aura and ran toward the cave where Huihui had lived.
After half an hour, I finally arrived at the place. At this time, I didn't find anyone chasing us. Perhaps they hadn't sensed my aura.
I leaned against the stone wall in the cave for a long time before summoning the spirit snake. Then, I handed the little white snake from Xiang Liu's pouch to him.
After the spirit snake took it, he dug a deep hole in the ground and gently placed the little white snake in it. Then, he buried it bit by bit.
After the small grave was built, he said, "Huihui, after Brother Long takes revenge for you, I will erect a tombstone for you."
Then, he stood up and walked out of the cave with me. He didn't turn his head back.
After leaving the cave, we headed directly to the Fire God Temple.
Along the way, the spirit snake didn't say a word. After this incident, I felt that he had matured a lot, but I didn't know if it was good or bad.
However, everything had a process. No matter who said that their lover had died, they wouldn't be able to recover immediately.
When we arrived at the Fire God Temple, it was already evening.
I stood in front of the Fire God Temple and didn't enter immediately. Instead, I looked around and didn't find anything strange. Then, I stepped in.
The furnishings in the temple were still the same. There were no signs that anyone had moved around, but I still couldn't see the contract.
Although there were still two days before Tao Wu would appear, after the previous incident with the spirit snake, I couldn't wait to see Tao Wu.
After entering the Fire God Temple, the spirit snake signaled for me to rest in the outer hall.
Perhaps he didn't want to see me and Tao Wu. He was afraid that the scene would bring back memories.
I understood his intentions and told him that if he needed anything, he could find me in the inner room.
Then, I turned around and entered the inner room.
Everything in the room was so familiar that I couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.
After I calmed down, I sat on the bed and began to adjust my breathing.
Two days later, Tao Wu arrived as promised.
At that moment, I intended to get off the bed and walk around. When I opened my eyes, I saw her staring at me with her hands supporting her cheeks.
When I saw that, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. I casually pulled Tao Wu into my embrace.
The two of us didn't say anything when we met. Just a hug was enough. After what had happened earlier, I felt a lot of emotions. I looked forward to staying with Tao Wu for a long time.
After lingering for a while, I retracted my thoughts and recalled the doubts I had when I came here. I decided to ask Tao Wu about it.
Tao Wu seemed to notice that my expression was strange and asked me what was bothering me.
I didn't hesitate and casually told her about the many things that I had experienced in the past half a year. I gradually understood my mission and also found out about my relationship with her in my previous life.
At this point, Lao Ai interrupted me. She snuggled into my embrace and softly said, "Although husband is his reincarnation, that matter has nothing to do with husband. To be able to become husband and wife in this life is Lao Ai's greatest fortune. Husband, please don't take the past to heart."
Hearing her words, my heart warmed. With such a beautiful wife, what more could I ask for?
However, when she mentioned marrying me, it made me want to confirm something with her.
With that in mind, I asked Tao Wu if our marriage was a coincidence or if someone had done it on purpose.
After hearing that, Tao Wu's face showed a trace of disappointment.
When I saw her like that, I immediately explained that for the past half a year, I had always felt that I was a chess piece. I only wanted to know who the chess player was and what he was planning. I wasn't doubting the relationship between us.
After hearing that, Tao Wu's expression changed. She paused and told me that she also didn't know about this matter. It was just that someone had asked her to hand over the jade bracelet and the Death Scripture to me.
As for why, that person didn't explain in detail.
Hearing that, I quickly asked, "Was that person Emperor Ku, Shang Qi, or Nangong?"
Unexpectedly, Tao Wu shook her head and told me that she hadn't seen that person's face. She also didn't tell her the reason and simply mentioned that it was Emperor Yan's last wish.
Hearing that, my mind suddenly went blank.
Things were getting more and more confusing. Previously, I had thought that Emperor Ku was behind everything, but now I knew that Emperor Yan was also involved.
In that case, when Uncle Lin told me that this matter had something to do with the ancient war in Medicine King Valley, he wasn't lying.
Emperor Ku was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, so it was possible that the Yellow Emperor was also involved. If the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor were involved, did that mean that Monster Emperor Jun was also involved?
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that since I was the reincarnation of Emperor Ku and Monster Emperor Jun, if their ultimate goal was to open the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was no need for me to appear. Or perhaps, there was no need for me to appear as the reincarnation of Emperor Ku and Monster Emperor Jun.
In that case, the plan of the three people in the ancient war wasn't to open the Mountain and Sea Realm, but something else.
However, Tao Wu didn't know about this. Nangong was just like me, Emperor Ku's chess piece, so he didn't know about it either. Uncle Lin only had a vague idea, so he didn't know anything.
As such, only the evil spirit was left.
All these years, he and Nangong have been assisting me in my growth.
When I heard Nangong talk about opening the Mountain and Sea Realm, I thought that the evil spirit was on the side of the Monster race.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that he already knew about my identity. Since he hadn't participated in the Monster race's preparations, his goal wasn't to open the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In addition to that, I was most curious about why he, a subordinate of the Flame Emperor, would pledge allegiance to Monster Emperor Jun and instigate the ancient war.
