Chapter 443: Repaying the Fox Demon 30
One official who advocated death for his remonstrance looked determined, but was stopped by his colleagues just as he made a move.
"His Royal Highness has ordered that you do not act rashly."
"Let me go." The man whispered, "I don't agree to trade the prince's life for the life of a foolish emperor."
"I know you are anxious, but don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he has found a solution."
That person: "Your Highness really said that?"
"Of course, we should trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The official breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down.
Yun Yuan looked at the palace servants busying around on the altar and couldn't help but complain to Jiuli.
"Xiao Changan's method of borrowing life span won't take more than a quarter of an hour, but the emperor has to burn incense and pray, and kneel down to offer sacrifices and so on. Isn't that troublesome?"
She really couldn't understand such a complicated ceremony.
Jiuli explained: "The emperor believes in ghosts and gods, and thinks that offering sacrifices before doing big things can increase the chances of success. He only has this one chance today, and if he fails he will die tomorrow, so it makes sense that he is being cautious."
Yun Yuan asked in surprise: "Will he die tomorrow?"
Jiuli nodded: "I just received news from the spies that the emperor burned his own vitality in exchange for a day of pain-free time.
Although he looks normal on the outside, and even has a rosy complexion, he is actually very ill. If he does not have enough Yang life to replenish his body, he will die soon, and may not even live to see tomorrow. "
What a daring gamble, Yun Yuan thought.
But it must be said that the emperor knew the prince well. In order to avoid being tainted, the prince did not choose to refuse openly.
After the preliminary preparations were completed, Xiao Changan, the emperor and Xuanyuan Chengyin stood on the stage together. Everyone below the stage fell silent and waited with bated breath.
Xiao Changan looked at the Crown Prince and asked, "Your Highness, how many years of life are you willing to give to His Majesty?"
The prince showed a gentle smile on his face and his eyes fell on the emperor. His eyes were full of admiration, which was very moving.
He said firmly: "However much the emperor needs, I will give it to him."
After these words came out, the emperor's expression became complicated. He didn't dare to look him in the eye. He was silent for a moment. Finally, the greed in his heart prevailed and he said:
"I want ten years, no, ten years is not enough, twenty years, thirty years!"
Thirty years! How many years does an average person live? Subtract thirty years and add the prince's current age. How long can the prince live?
Everyone had different expressions, some were surprised, some were angry, and some were worried.
The prince smiled bitterly: "My life was originally given by my father. Now that my father needs my life, then take it. I have no complaints!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good boy..."
Under the worried and disappointed gazes of the officials, Xiao Changan moved his lips slightly and silently recited a series of mysterious spells.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light appeared in his palm, but this light could only be seen by practitioners and ordinary people could not perceive it at all. It shot straight towards Xuanyuan Chengyin's chest.
Yun Yuan urged Jiu Li: "Hurry up, it's your turn!"
It was just a blink of an eye, and Xiao Changan had no idea that what he saw when he opened his eyes again was an illusion. No one expected that Jiuli would be so bold as to take action right under everyone's noses.
Having had the experience of having his disguise seen through last time, Jiuli was extra cautious this time and even used a magic weapon - the Fantasy Moon Orb.
The light in Xiao Changan's hand fell on the protective mirror on the prince's chest, and then shone back on Xiao Changan after being emitted by the protective mirror. However, no one present could see this scene except Yun Yuan and Jiuli.
A ball of energy peeled off from Xiao Changan, growing bigger and bigger...
Seeing that they were about to succeed, Yun Yuan excitedly said to Jiu Li: "Use another trick to deceive Xiao Changan and make him think that the energy he sucked out was not enough. It would be best if he could borrow all of Xiao Changan's lifespan."
Jiuli smiled and responded: "Watch me."
Xiao Changan frowned and found that the green light he absorbed was never enough. He could not help but increase the intensity of his absorption. As time went by, he felt his head beginning to feel a little dizzy, but the energy he absorbed was just barely enough.
He gritted his teeth, trying to stay awake, carefully controlling the energies and moving them in the direction of the emperor.
Only when the green lights slowly merged into the emperor's body like lively elves did he stop.
The emperor had his eyes closed, but suddenly, he felt a gentle breath flowing into his body, warm and comfortable, as if the spring sunshine was shining on his body, warming every limb.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably, with a contented look on his face.
After the transfer of life span was completed, Xiao Changan's body shook, and he felt something was wrong. He said with all his strength, "Your Majesty, the spell has been successfully completed. You have increased your life span by thirty years."
"Congratulations, father!" Xuanyuan Chengyin spoke first.
“Hahahaha——” The emperor was delighted, “The Crown Prince is truly filial, which makes me very happy. Pass on my decree. A banquet will be held in Changle Palace tonight, and everyone must be drunk before leaving.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor left with great satisfaction, and couldn't wait to go back to favor the beauty and continue his previous decadent life.
Yun Yuan said: "Let's stay away from Xiao Changan. If nothing unexpected happens, another group of people will die tonight."
"I didn't expect Xiao Changan to be the Heavenly Dao." Jiuli's eyes were deep. He actually hid so deeply.
"He is just an agent." Yun Yuan corrected: "The real Heavenly Dao would definitely not be like him, abusing power for personal gain and being narrow-minded."
Jiuli nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Yun Yuan paused and continued, "I have some ideas about his resurrection. You go to the palace tonight and I will go to Puling Temple."
Jiuli frowned slightly when he heard this: "Do you think Xiao Changan's resurrection is related to Puling Temple?"
Yun Yuan nodded: "He used Puling Temple to absorb a large amount of faith. I suspect that these beliefs have other uses. Of course, this is just my guess. We will know after tonight whether it is true or not."
Jiuli said: "I'll go with you."
Yun Yuan shook her head gently: "Don't worry, I will be careful. I have a high level of cultivation and many ways to protect my life. No one can hurt me. Besides, I also need someone to remind me the time of Xiao Changan's death."
She took out two gray stones from her arms and handed one to Jiuli.
"This kind of stone is called Lingxi Stone. It comes from the same large piece of Lingxi Stone and has the same properties. If one changes color, the other will also change color. It can be used to transmit signals."
After she finished speaking, a white light came out from her palm, and when she touched the Lingxi Stone, the gray Lingxi Stone turned into a crystal clear blue, just like the finest sapphire.
Jiuli looked at the stone in his hand that almost turned blue at the same time, and asked curiously: "Is it okay as long as I transfer power into it?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, if there is power inside, there will be changes. You can try it. Once Xiao Changan dies tonight, you can pass the information to me and I will study the changes of the statue."
"it is good."
Jiuli played with the stone in his hand, changing its colors one after another. Finally, he drilled a hole in the Lingxi stone, tied it with a rope and hung it around his waist.
Yun Yuan looked at Jiu Li's actions and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiuli smiled and explained: "I think the word 'lingxi' is a good idea. This stone will be our token of love."
Yun Yuan glanced sideways slightly.
Jiuli held her waist and said softly, "When Xiao Changan's problem is resolved, I will take you back to the demon world to get married."
"Okay." Yun Yuan replied casually.
Noticing her perfunctory attitude, Jiuli narrowed his fox eyes and leaned down to kiss her.
"Ah~" Yun Yuan cried softly, her red lips sealed.
"Jiuli." With a soft call, Xuanyuan Chengyin's footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Yun Yuan pushed Jiuli away like a frightened rabbit, then jumped out of his arms and quickly tidied up her messy clothes and hair.
She raised her head and met Xuanyuan Chengyin's gaze, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
She laughed dryly and said, "Well...you guys chat, I won't disturb you." After saying that, she wanted to turn around and leave.
Xuanyuan Chengyin saw that Yun Yuan's face was rosy, her eyes were sparkling like spring water, her lips were slightly swollen, and she looked like she had been severely bullied. His eyes flickered slightly, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
When he looked at Jiuli again, the light had disappeared, and Yun Yuan turned into a white light and disappeared.
"Jiuli." Xuanyuan Chengze looked at the direction where Yun Yuan disappeared and asked, "Did father really live thirty more years?"
"More than that." Jiuli narrowed his fox eyes slightly, a little unhappy. Thinking of the ball of light, and then comparing it with the ball of light he showed Xiao Changan, he said carefully: "At least eighty years more of life."
Eighty! Xuanyuan Chengyin was stunned and asked nervously, "How long can I live?"
Jiuli saw that Xuanyuan Chengyin had misunderstood, and then he remembered that he had not yet told him everything, so he explained:
"The mirror Yun Yuan gave you is for reflecting magic. Xiao Changan's magic did not work on you, but passed through the mirror and reacted on himself. These eighty years of life were taken away by Xiao Changan, and have nothing to do with you."
Xuanyuan Chengyin admired the wit of the two and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was Xiao Changan's fault. He had to suffer the consequences of his own actions.
Jiuli leaned against the wall and said lazily, "Eighty years is too long for humans. Does Your Highness want to inherit the throne in advance?"
Xuanyuan Chengyin was stunned, then pursed his lips.
There is no prince who doesn't want to be the emperor, and Xuanyuan Chengyin is no exception. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Jiuli told him: "Xiao Changan has almost drained his vitality. Tonight is his deadline. When he dies, he will draw vitality from the people around him to replenish it."
Xuanyuan Chengyin thought of the more than 20 bodies that died miserably on the streets of the capital, and his expression was solemn: "Are the deaths of those Taoists related to Xiao Changan?"
"That's right." Jiuli said, "Your Highness must be prepared. Success or failure depends on this one move."
………~~~………
Xiao Changan returned home holding his chest. Luo Yiman had been waiting for him for a long time. He stood up when he heard the voice: "Xiao Lang, you are back. I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Changan coughed and felt that he had no strength left in his body. He collapsed on the chair, gasping for breath. The sudden feeling of weakness made him at a loss.
Loiman couldn't see his condition, and his mind was filled with the news that Harunobu heard from outside.
"Xiao Lang, how did you learn the method of borrowing longevity?"
Xiao Changan didn't intend to explain, he just said lightly: "You will know later."
"I want to know now." Luo Yiman said: "Xiao Lang, have you changed your mind? You don't even want to tell me about your own affairs."
Since Xiao Changan knew each other's identities after awakening his memory, he didn't want to bother with Loiman. In his opinion, Loiman was just a maid who was obsessed with him, which was completely different from his original identity.
Due to the change in his mood in this life, he developed a certain liking for Loiman. Now, whenever he thought of how he had worked so hard to get her, he would feel aggrieved.
This feeling followed him everywhere, making him feel a little annoyed.
After Loiman lost her eyes, she felt lost and was particularly sensitive to any disturbances outside, so she immediately noticed any changes in Xiao Changan.
Xiao Changan felt a little drowsy, and was unwilling to spend energy to comfort Loiman. He closed his eyes and said, "Don't think too much. In this life, I will only marry you."
When Loiman heard Xiao Changan's promise, his expression relaxed slightly and he asked what he wanted to know most.
"Xiao Lang, besides the method of borrowing life, do you know other spells, such as..." She bit her lip: "For example, the spell of replacing eyes?"
Xiao Changan opened his eyes, stood up, and said sarcastically: "Loiman, Loiman, I thought you were a kind and innocent woman, so I chose you just now, but I didn't expect you to do something eye-catching."
Loiman's memory did not awaken, and she thought Xiao Changan was talking about him marrying her, so she frowned.
"Didn't you promise me to replace my eyes before we got married? If it weren't for this promise, do you think I would marry you without any hesitation?"
"Loiman, I hope you understand clearly." Xiao Changan said, "At that time, the Second Prince was resentful of you for using Fu Qingyan's poem, which almost caused Fu Qingyan to commit suicide, and he wanted to put you in the backyard to torture you.
I am marrying you to help you out of your predicament. Otherwise, do you think that with your empty eyes now, which man in the capital would dare to marry you? You are not allowed to go to the living room or the kitchen. Even going to the toilet requires someone to serve you. You will be scared if you wake up in the middle of the night and are seen by others. "
"Xiao Changan!" Loiman was angry: "Is this how you look at me now?"
"What else?" Xiao Changan said, "You were the first to speak without restraint. If you were to live your life again, you would be nothing more than this."
"You...you knew?" Loiman's face turned pale.
Xiao Changan did not answer. He was very tired and didn't want to say anything more to Loiman.
"Take care of yourself. I will take care of the eyes for you. Yun Yuan's eyes cannot be given to you."
After he said that, he wanted to turn around and go back to his room to rest. He didn't know what happened, but his body seemed to suddenly become weak. Not only was he in poor spirits, but he also seemed to have a certain smell on his body.
He had only smelled this smell on old people.
