Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 181 Feng Yequn Awakens

The four of them returned to the barracks with the Taotie in high spirits. In an instant, the eyes of the three hundred soldiers were focused on the two strange beasts with huge heads and agile bodies like small cheetahs. They were all stunned and dumbfounded. The barracks suddenly became boiling, and discussions rose and fell. Everyone gathered around the Taotie and looked at them curiously, exclaiming from time to time.

The Taotie seemed to be curious about this strange environment, and they strolled leisurely in the military camp, sometimes looking up at the towering tents, and sometimes looking around, exploring everything around them. They followed Luo Ying, shuttled through every corner of the military camp, and finally came to the commander's camp.

Shao Hanyue came with the cute fat bear Duoduo, and the three little heads squeezed into Luo Ying's arms. Luo Ying was amused by their innocence, and her laughter was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell. Xiang Yuandai folded his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the wall of the tent, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Luo Ying obsessively, with a doting and gentle smile on his lips.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Shao Hanyue couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly: "Sister, your tent is almost like a zoo!"

Taotie was like a naughty child, clinging to Luo Ying and refusing to let go. Duoduo was pushed aside by Taotie. It climbed flexibly along Luo Ying's arm to her shoulder and stuck to her face like a spoiled child.

Seeing this, Shao Hanyue quickly stepped forward and gently took Duoduo off Luo Ying's shoulders, and Xiao Qingxiu followed closely and took Taotie away from Luo Ying. The two of them looked at each other and said to Luo Ying, "Sister, let's take them out to eat something first."

Hearing this, Luo Ying nodded with a smile: "Go! Give them a bath by the way."

As she spoke, she gently patted the heads of the two little guys, Tao and Tie, and said jokingly, "Especially Tiaotiao and Tiaotiao, they haven't taken a bath for ten million years, they must be stinking!"

Hearing Luo Ying's joke, Taotie curled his lips in grievance, with a bit of innocence and resentment in his eyes.

Luo Ying gently kissed their foreheads one by one, and said in a voice full of pampering and tenderness: "Dear, you will smell good after washing!"

After Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu left, Luo Ying inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiang Yuandai, who was leaning against the wall in a daze, staring at her deeply. She gently put her fist to her lips and made a slight cough to remind him.

Xiang Yuandai finally came back to his senses from his intoxication, slowly approached her, gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, and said in a low and tender voice: "Sometimes I envy Taotie and Duoduo, who can legitimately rely on your arms and enjoy your love!"

He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "I want a kiss and a hug, too! Can I?"

When Luo Ying heard his words, it was as if she was struck by an electric current. Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, and her body jumped away involuntarily, keeping a certain distance from Xiang Yuandai. She spoke incoherently: "Brother Yuandai... I... really thank you... You risked your life to protect me just now. But... I think it's better for us to keep some distance between us."

When Xiang Yuandai heard her words, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss, as if he was mercilessly beaten by cold waves on the shore. He sighed softly and tried to make his voice sound calm: "I protected you completely out of instinct, and I didn't expect you to repay me for it. You... don't get me wrong."

Luo Ying could hear the disappointment in his tone and couldn't help feeling guilty. She quickly explained, "Brother Yuandai, please don't misunderstand me... I'm just worried that I owe too much debt of love and I won't be able to repay it in the future."

The two of them were speechless, and an atmosphere of silence spread between them.

As the night deepened, Luo Ying sat alone in the tent. There was silence all around her, except for the flickering campfire, which illuminated her face. She gently took out Shi Juyi's Yuandan, which emitted a soft glow in her hand, as if it had life.

Luo Ying took out the Hehuan Bell and stared at Shi Juyi's Yuandan, her eyes full of determination and expectation. She said softly: "Juyi, sister has subdued the Taotie and obtained the first artifact! Don't worry, sister will definitely find a way to revive you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Juyi's Yuandan suddenly flickered, and the light became brighter and brighter, as if responding to Luo Ying's call.

Early in the morning of the second day, before the sky was fully bright and the dawn was just beginning, Luo Ying had already gotten up, summoned her unicorn, and galloped towards the palace of the demon world.

She arrived at the Demon Realm, and the gate of the Demon Realm Palace slowly opened. The Demon Lord came out upon hearing the news, his face showing anxiety and expectation. Seeing this, Luo Ying immediately dismounted, knelt on one knee, bowed with both hands, and respectfully saluted the Demon Lord. She was about to ask, but the Demon Lord came forward and helped her up, with a somewhat anxious tone: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, come with me to see Ming'er."

Luo Ying's heart trembled, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The Demon Lord took heavy steps, leading Luo Ying slowly to the depths of the palace. His voice was low and full of worry, like a cold wind in the dark night, piercing Luo Ying's heart. He told her sadly: "He has been unconscious all the time, and he has been calling your name."

When Luo Ying heard this, his heart ached and his eyes became moist.

Luo Ying quickened his pace and followed the Demon Lord to Feng Yequn's bedroom, only to see Feng Yequn lying quietly on the cold bed, his face pale and his breath weak.

The Demon Lord led Luo Ying to Feng Yequn, leaving them a private space, and quietly retreated to a distance, fearing to disturb their rare time together. Luo Ying gently walked to the icy bed and tightly held Feng Yequn's cold hand. Feng Yequn seemed to feel her coming, and called out in his weak and trembling voice: "Luo Ying... Luo Ying..." The voice was like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Luo Ying leaned down, gently kissed the back of his hand, and responded softly: "I'm here... I'm here..." Her voice was like a clear spring that moistened Feng Yequn's dry heart.

Feng Yequn seemed to draw a bit of strength from her voice. He grabbed Luo Ying's hand tightly and shouted weakly and anxiously: "Don't go... Don't go..." His voice was filled with endless attachment and reluctance.

Luo Ying felt a pain in her heart. She gently kissed Feng Yequn's cheek and said softly: "I didn't leave... I'm here... I came here specially to see you..." Every word she said was as soft as a feather and fell into Feng Yequn's heart.

Luo Ying snuggled tightly against Feng Yequn's chest, her voice full of firmness and tenderness: "I have already got the first artifact. I told you that when I have collected all ten artifacts, I will tell you my choice! So, you have to get better soon, okay?" Her words revealed her expectations for the future and her deep attachment to Feng Yequn.

Feng Yequn shouted again in a weak voice: "Don't leave me... Don't leave me..." Although his voice was weak, Luo Ying heard it clearly.

Luo Ying collapsed instantly upon hearing this, tears flooding out like a broken dam. She hugged him tightly and said with a sob: "Don't worry... I won't abandon you, I won't give up on you..."

Feng Yequn slightly opened her eyes at her call, and gently stroked her soft hair with her fingers. Luo Ying raised her head, her eyes flashing with excitement. She looked at the awakened Feng Yequn excitedly and shouted happily: "You are finally awake!"

Feng Yequn's face was pale, and his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible: "Am I dreaming?"

Luo Ying gently placed his hand on her cheek so that he could feel her real temperature. She choked up and said, "You are not dreaming, nor is this an illusion. I am really here to see you!"

Feng Yequn raised his hand with great effort, gently stroked her cheek, and said with great tenderness: "It really is you! I miss you so much!"

Luo Ying kissed his hand affectionately, with a firm and joyful voice: "It's me, I just came here to tell you that I have got the first artifact! You have to get better soon. I promised you before that when I have collected all ten artifacts, I will tell you my choice."

Feng Yequn heard Luo Ying's words, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said tremblingly: "I really hope... you can choose me now... Collecting the ten great artifacts is too dangerous... I can't protect you by your side... I don't want you to take risks again!"

When Luo Ying heard his words, she was overwhelmed with emotion and guilt. She threw herself into his arms, crying and saying, "You almost lost your life to save me. You were injured so badly! You are still worried about my safety and want to protect me!"

The Demon Lord looked at the two of them from afar, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart. General Ye slowly walked to the side of the Demon Lord, sighed softly, and said in a low voice with a bit of helplessness: "Hey, Marshal Luo is a good medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do we have to force Marshal Luo to stay?"

The Demon Lord sternly refused, "Ming'er cares a lot about her feelings and doesn't want her to be hurt. If we force her to stay, it will only destroy their relationship! Although I know Ming'er loves her deeply, and with her by his side, he will definitely recover faster! However, it can be seen that Marshal Luo is a strong-willed woman, how could she be coerced by others! Ming'er also knows her personality and will never force her."

After Luo Ying left and her figure gradually faded away, the Demon Lord hurried to Feng Yequn and held his hand tightly, his eyes full of excitement and joy: "Ming'er, you finally woke up! You have been unconscious for so many days, your father was so worried!"

Feng Yequn's face turned pale, and he said weakly, "I am sorry to have made father worried. Your son..."

The Demon Lord stroked his head lovingly, and consoled him repeatedly: "It's good that you woke up! It's good that you woke up!"

After a brief pause, a hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord, and he asked tentatively: "It can be seen that Marshal Luo cares about you very much. How far have you progressed?"

Feng Yequn recalled the scene in the illusion where the two of them had crossed the taboo, and a blush appeared on his face. He stammered and said shyly: "We...we...I don't know how to say it..."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord's eyes flashed with surprise: "Have you broken through the taboo?"

Feng Yequn said nervously: "It's not what you think... I don't know how to say it... Anyway, she has me in her heart... Now we have to wait and see her final decision... After all, her relationship with the Third Prince of Heaven is deeper than mine! I'm afraid she can't make up her mind..."

The Demon Lord was overjoyed when he heard this and asked excitedly, "Do you want Father to help you?"

Feng Yequn said nervously, "No... Father... Please don't interfere... I'm afraid that if you interfere, she will be scared away... I have waited for her for so long, she is the happiness of my life, Father, please promise me that you will never hurt her, okay?"

The Demon Lord pressed his forehead against Feng Yequn's head and said, "Okay, father promises you that he will never hurt her! Father knows that she is your life!"
