Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 27: Two Flying Swallows in the Clouds
He? Was he talking about Zhuo Ao? Could it be that this woman in green was holding a grudge against Zhuo Ao for entrusting Yonghui City to Yao Ji after the Yonghui Martial Arts Tournament? She wanted Yonghui City? Then why didn't she participate in the tournament herself? Furthermore, she was Zhuo Ao's personal maid, and therefore probably his closest person. At least, Gong Lili didn't remember Zhuo Ao having any other maids.
If she wanted Yonghui City, wouldn't it be easier for her to just talk to Zhuo Ao herself? Why would she hold such a grudge against someone else?
"You are his personal maid, the person closest to him. If you want it, just ask him for it yourself. Why bear a grudge against me? Besides, it's not what I want, he forced it on me." Gong Lili has no advantages except that she has a vicious mouth. When she thought of how this woman in green had instigated Mo Yi's father to kill her, she became furious. She also remembered that it was she who sent Ze Ze and the twins to Yonghui City to rob her, and she almost killed her and had a near-death experience. With so many old grudges mixed together, her words were naturally full of anger.
Unexpectedly, the other party was silent for a long time after hearing this, so long that Ping Lili almost thought she was mad at him. Then a long voice came, but it was different from the previous tone, with a lot of resentment in it: "If he had my eyes, I wouldn't have to be trapped in this cocoon for five hundred years."
Wait? Ying Lili's mind suddenly stopped. This tone was so sad, like a woman alone in her empty room complaining to her husband. What was the reason for this?
Could it be that this is another extremely bloody love triangle drama?
"You, love Zhuo Ao?" Ping Lili blurted out subconsciously without even thinking.
Her answer was a soft : "If I could, I would rather not have loved."
This answer was undoubtedly an admission.
Ping Lili was stunned for a long time, but didn't know what to order.
She remembered that she had vaguely heard Mo Yi mention that during the five hundred years that Zhuo Ao had disappeared, he had actually been in the Penglai Fairyland, in order to find the Yue Jingzhi for Mo Yi's mother's resurrection. He also taught Mo Yi all his life's martial arts so that Mo Yi could protect him for the legendary Heavenly Stone that only he could refine.
All the legends and stories clearly indicated that the great master Zhuo Ao was a man of deep affection. At least for Mo Yi's mother, Han Yan, Zhuo Ao was undoubtedly one of the most infatuated men in the world. But how could this maid in green make him such a heartless person?
As expected, no one can tell right from wrong when it comes to love. Being infatuated with a certain woman may, from another perspective, mean being extremely heartless to another woman who falls in love with him.
All living beings in this world, whether they are great masters or little girls, cannot escape the word love.
"Since you have always wanted to kill me, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Ying Lili slowly sat down against the uneven stone wall, and placed the unconscious Ze Zeping on her legs. Her fingertips brushed across his forehead and gently pressed his Baihui acupoint, but her mind was in a state of confusion. She suddenly raised her head and calmly looked into the inky eyes on the stone wall. She spoke calmly, but her tone seemed to be asking about something unimportant.
"Because I recently suddenly learned some secrets about five hundred years ago, and things seem to have become interesting. It would be a pity to kill you directly." The pair of inky eyes closed slightly, and the originally cold voice suddenly let out a chuckle, which made Gong Lili feel a chill seeping from the depths of his heart.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Qing Lili leaned her back gently against the stone wall, feeling the slight chill of the stone wall, and her mind suddenly calmed down. She tilted her head and said teasingly with a half-smile, "I'd like to know if there's anything that would make you feel more satisfied than just killing me?"
For some reason, Ying Lili had a hunch that since the woman in green said this to her, she would not hide her purpose. So, why not just treat it as a joke?
"That was a move that woman had carefully planned long ago." When the other party said this calmly, no matter how scheming Yan Lili was, he couldn't help but say, "What did you say?!"
She suddenly stood up, putting Zeze aside. The next moment, she was floating in front of the stone wall, staring into those dark eyes. "What did you just say?!"
"Why are you so excited? I didn't say it was your lover's plan." The other party chuckled nonchalantly, as if extremely satisfied with Gong Lili's reaction. "He, like you, is just a pawn in the immortal's game. No, not only him, but also Zhuo Ao. You are all pawns in the same game, but you were kept in the dark, while Zhuo Ao volunteered."
At this point, the green-clothed woman's voice, originally playful, was faintly filled with a sigh. "It's a waste for Zhuo Ao to call himself a hero. In fact, he's just a fool. He's been a fool from beginning to end. He knew that woman didn't love him, and that all his efforts would be fruitless, but he was still willing to run around for her his whole life..."
"The woman you are talking about is Mo Yi's mother?" Ping Lili asked the question in her heart carefully. In this world, the only people who can make Zhuo Ao willing to be a fool without any regrets are probably Mo Yi and Huai Lian's mother, right?
Thinking of this, Yinglili felt a pang of sadness. She wondered what kind of beauty Mo Yi's mother had. How could she have caused the great master Zhuo Ao to fall so deeply in love with her? Furthermore, why did the woman in green say that her encounter with Mo Yi was orchestrated by Mo Yi's mother? Hadn't she died when Mo Yi was six? How could a dead person plan for events ten years later?
Ying Lili had long suspected something about her encounter with Mo Yi, but she had never imagined that the person behind it all might be Mo Yi's mother. What was going on? Was it also for the Heavenly Stone?
"But, didn't she die a long time ago?" Ping Lili suddenly felt confused. For no reason, she recalled the day in Hongsha Village when Mo Yi seemed to have asked Mo Wutan a question: "How did my mother die?" Mo Wutan's answer at that time was ambiguous. Could it be that there really was some unspeakable secret?
"That woman is the 'Sky Speaker'. There has been a legend circulating in this underworld that the 'Sky Speaker' is a messenger chosen by God, someone who can predict the future and can change the future." It seems that the woman in green was unwilling to mention Mo Yi's mother's name, and kept using that woman instead.
"If that's the case, why did she die young?" Ying Lili suddenly had a feeling that she seemed to be touching some of the most core secrets of the underworld.
"God's punishment!" When the other party said this, there was a tone of gloating in his voice.
"Heaven's punishment?" Ying Lili repeated doubtfully. Could it be that the woman named Han Yan, Mo Yi's mother, had done something unforgivable? Her expression grew stern. "What on earth did she do?"
"No need. I'm not interested in knowing those old stories."
Ying Lili smiled wryly and said word by word, "For me, no matter what her purpose is, I am very grateful to her. I am grateful that she gave birth to Mo Yi, and I am grateful that she allowed Mo Yi and I to meet and even fall in love. So, if you are telling me all this to provoke my hatred for her, then forget it. Don't waste your time."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to react, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, a barely perceptible cold glint flashing in her golden brown eyes. "Why don't you just tell me your purpose? You went to all this trouble to bring me here, aren't you just going to badmouth your rival?"
" Hahahaha ..." The other party was stunned for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable laughter. Ping Lili shook her head gently, but her tone became even colder: "I don't have that much time to waste here with you. Please keep it short."
"You are very smart, even smarter than your previous life. Killing you is indeed the most correct decision, and it will eliminate all future troubles." After the long laughter of the woman in green, she said something that made people feel cold all over.
"If you still think so now, then, forgive me for being blunt, I can only say that you are too stupid and don't know the current situation." In response to the green-clothed woman's heart-wrenching words, Ying Lili smiled and retorted mercilessly.
These words are not spoken out of emotion, but are truly spoken with confidence.
Today, Ying Lili is really not afraid of any threats from anyone, especially the threat of death.
Moreover, she knew that since this woman in green had gone to such great lengths to make her find her, even to the point of knocking Zeze unconscious, she must have some ulterior motive.
Therefore, Gong Lili cleverly kept the matter of the key to the demon world in her heart and was not in a hurry to ask. Since she wanted to negotiate terms, she naturally had to find out the other person's bottom line and trump card first.
Now the initiative is in the hands of Gong Lili, so she is fearless.
"You'd better tell me your purpose quickly. I really don't have time to waste here with you." Gong Lili picked up the still unconscious Ze Ze and made a gesture to leave.
"Wait, do you really not want to know the purpose of that woman letting her son be with you?" The other party seemed to have not expected that Gong Lili would be a person who would not be moved by any persuasion. Now that he saw that she was really preparing to leave, he became a little anxious.
"Aren't you in menopause? Why are you nagging so much? I said I'm not interested in knowing, and that means I'm not interested in knowing. No matter what her purpose is, her son is in love with me now and wants to be with me. This is an ironclad fact. I'm very satisfied with this and don't intend to hold anyone responsible. Are you satisfied with this?" Gong Lili picked up Ze Ze impatiently. Since they had to act, the more realistic the better. Gong Lili was sure that the other party definitely had something to ask of her.
"What if I tell you that her purpose is to have your and Mo Yi's child?" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and finally succeeded in stopping Ying Lili's steps. Ying Lili turned around subconsciously, and there was finally a hint of panic in her golden brown eyes.
Child? Her and Mo Yi's child?
What is going on? !
