My Demon Queen

Chapter 406 Transformation

As the Nine-tailed Fox and Xiao Rou's eyes were all cast towards Mo Ruxue, Mo Ruxue was suddenly awakened from her thoughts.

She raised her eyes to look at Xiaorou, a trace of apology flashed across her eyes very quickly, and then she opened her lips slightly and whispered: "Wait for me here!"

Then, her whole body instantly turned into a dazzling red stream of light and rushed straight into the sky?

Xiao Rou's eyes followed Mo Ruxue's departing back, but her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to what Mo Qingcheng had said to her.

"The demon clan's method of transplanting a heart requires a living person's heart..."

At this moment, Xiaorou's heart was like the sea ravaged by a storm and could not calm down for a long time.

The nine-tailed fox tilted its head slightly, its eyes full of confusion and curiosity, staring at the direction where Mo Ruxue disappeared.

"That look just now... maybe I saw it wrong!"

Then, she shook her head gently, as if to get rid of those messy thoughts from her mind, then squatted down, slowly releasing soft light from her hands, and continued to carefully maintain Ye An's life, which was as weak as a candle in the wind.

A helpless smile appeared on her lips, and she thought to herself: "I thought you were so capable, but in the end, you still need me to save you. But this time only, my little monk is still in the Western Paradise! You have to do me two things when the time comes!"

Outside the Empress's Palace, Bai Feiyu frowned, with a hint of uneasiness and confusion in his eyes, staring at the direction where Mo Ruxue left.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that something was about to get out of his control, so he tapped the ground with his toes and followed like a ghost.

Mo Ruxue was flying at high speed above the clouds. The strong wind was cutting her face like a sharp blade, but she was completely unaware.

Deep inside, a voice keeps shouting.

"What's wrong with me? Why would I have such an idea? That's Xiaorou. I must be crazy to have such an idea."

Her eyes were burning with flames of anger and self-blame, and she wished she could immediately eradicate the evil thoughts from her mind. At the same time, she was anxiously searching for the traces of the escaped human monks.

Ye An’s consciousness space was as quiet as an abyss with no bottom.

Ye An sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes fixed on the flashing images on the screen that appeared out of thin air.

He clearly saw the complex look in Mo Ruxue's eyes, and instantly understood her inner struggle and darkness at that moment.

He sighed helplessly, and the sigh seemed to echo and create ripples in the silent space.

Ye Quan behind him was fully focused, dancing with his hands. Strands of inky "death" power flowed out from his palms and slowly poured into Ye An's body, activating the dormant "life" power.

He tilted his head slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked softly: "Why are you sighing for no reason?"

Ye An seemed to be pulled back from his distant thoughts, and responded calmly: "Nothing, how long will it take!"

His eyes seemed calm, but in fact his mind was like a high-speed precision instrument, rapidly calculating the subsequent response strategies.

Ye Quan focused on the power transmission in his hands and responded, "It will be soon. As long as the power of life is stimulated, you will have these two powers. With your understanding of the formation, you will be the master of this world. Your words will be followed by laws, and all living things in the world will be controlled by your thoughts."

Ye An raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly: "Hmm... sounds like a god!"

Ye Quan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile, and jokingly said: "Isn't the ruler of a world a god?"

Ye An's face remained stern, and he asked expressionlessly, "What about you then? Will you perish or merge with me?"

Ye Quan's smile was full of ridicule, and he said nonchalantly: "Why? You can't bear to leave me? Don't worry, I won't perish, nor will I merge with you. I will remain the same as now."

Ye An's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Symbiotic relationship?"

Ye Quan replied straightforwardly: "Yes, that's right, it's symbiosis."

There was a hint of doubt in Ye An's eyes, and he asked, "Are you so willing to let me live with you?"

Ye Quan heard Ye An's question from behind, and a mysterious arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes, and he said leisurely: "Who are we following?"

Ye An slowly turned his head and glanced at Ye Quan behind him. He lowered his voice and said, "Since when did your personality become like mine?"

Ye Quan laughed softly and asked, "Then since when did your personality become like mine?"

Ye An turned his head, stared at Xiao Rou and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox on the screen, and slowly said, "What a terrible symbiosis!"

Ye Quan shrugged noncommittally and said calmly: "You are me and I am you. Do we really have to tell the difference?"

Ye An was silent for a long time, as if he was lost in deep memories. After a long time, he spoke.

"Is it certain? I don't know. From the moment I failed to protect Mo Qingcheng, I changed."

Ye Quan keenly caught the loneliness and sadness in Ye An's words and said softly.

"People change. No one can remain unchanged. The world is changing, let alone a person."

Ye An changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to do after the world restarts?"

The power in Ye Quan's hand was continuously output. He paused for a moment and responded thoughtfully: "Maybe..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes were fixed on Ye An's back, and his tone became indifferent and distant.

"You and I have a symbiotic relationship. Shouldn't I do whatever you do?"

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in the depths of his eyes, as if there was a secret.

But Ye An seemed not to notice and just said lightly.

"Yeah, what do I want to do? Is there anything else worth doing?"

Seeing that Ye An was unaware, Ye Quan wisely chose to shut up and continued to silently mobilize the power in Ye An's body.

Ye An didn't get a response from Ye Quan for a long time, and subconsciously glanced back, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Then he closed his lips and said no more, waiting quietly for Ye Quan to complete the activation of his power.

With Mo Ruxue's departure, Xiao Rou felt as if she was on a desolate island, her heart filled with endless struggle and fear.

Her eyes never left Ye An's face, which was as pale as paper. Her heart was not worried about whether Mo Ruxue could bring back a heart, but was tightly entangled with another more terrifying thought: "whether her big brother Ye could hold on until that moment."

At this moment, Ye An's vitality was like the sand in an hourglass, slipping through his fingers bit by bit and disappearing into thin air.

"what happened to you?"

The nine-tailed fox was keenly aware of Xiaorou's inner turmoil, and asked softly with confusion and doubt in his eyes.

Xiaorou's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of crying and anxiety.

"I'm afraid Master Ruxue won't be able to make it in time. If that happens..."

The nine-tailed fox looked at Xiaorou's anxious look, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "Now we can only wait."

"No, it seems that Brother Ye can no longer wait until that time."

Xiaorou suddenly raised her voice, with a hint of determination in her voice.

Then, she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth until blood oozed out, and then said firmly: "I will give you my heart now, you can use my heart to maintain Brother Ye's life first, and wait for Master Ruxue to come..."

"Little girl, don't be so righteous. Do you really think that after Ye An is alive and knows that your heart was used, he will be able to live peacefully?"

The nine-tailed fox interrupted Xiaorou's words without mercy.

Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Isn't this the best solution at the moment?

The nine-tailed fox looked at Xiaorou's ignorant appearance, sighed helplessly, and said slowly:

"I may not have known Ye An as long as you have, but I know his personality."

"Me, the little monk, and him, we have only known each other for a few dozen days. In the face of a critical moment, he was willing to use himself as bait to protect me and the little monk."

"Besides, your relationship with him is different from ours. What do you think the chances are that he will survive using your heart?"

Xiao Rou's gaze turned to Ye An again, her eyes filled with crystal tears. She knew that every word the Nine-tailed Fox said was true, but the fear in her heart followed her like a shadow. She was afraid that Brother Ye would leave forever while waiting.

Just as Xiaorou was struggling to the point of collapse, a familiar yet faint voice came through the mist:

"When did you understand me so well...?"
