178 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 177

Chapter 177 The True Appearance of All Gods in the Cave of the Gods 3

Xie Lian was held in Huacheng’s arms and walked towards the dark depths of the grotto.

The only light source around the two of them was the faintly flying silver death butterfly.Xie Lian couldn’t see clearly the expression on Hua Cheng’s face, but he could feel that Hua Cheng’s arms and body were stiff.

It’s not like Huacheng hasn’t hugged him before, but it’s obvious that something is different now. Huacheng didn’t even touch his neck and hands directly.Xie Lian kept looking at Huacheng’s face and blinked hard, but Huacheng kept avoiding his eyes and did not make eye contact with him. He went straight to a grotto. There was a stone bed in the grotto, and he immediately put Xie Lian on it.He was about to let Xie Lian lie down when he suddenly noticed something. He checked Xie Lian’s back and said, “Did they put a curse on you?”

Xie Lian was overjoyed: Finally discovered!

However, it was only now that he realized something was wrong with Xie Lian. It can also be seen how unprepared Huacheng was just now.Xie Lian was waiting for Hua Cheng to help him erase the obedience talisman. Unexpectedly, Hua Cheng had already stretched out his hand, but stopped midway. Finally, he took it back and laid Xie Lian flat on the stone bed.

Probably so that Xie Lian wouldn’t have to worry, he said in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I won’t kill those two losers for the time being. Although I really want to kill them.”

The stone bed was also covered with a thick layer of soft new grass. Xie Lian lay softly on it, not feeling any pain at all, but his internal organs were so burnt that they were smoking. He was extremely puzzled as to why he was not relieved of the curse. As he was struggling, he saw Hua Cheng reaching for the belt around his waist and untying the laces.

By coincidence, at this moment, Xie Lian felt that the effectiveness of the obedience talisman on his back was beginning to fade. He moved his legs hard and said “Ah!”

Although it looked like a dead fish that suddenly struggled and jumped around and protested, it was not a deterrent. However, Huacheng froze immediately, retracted his hand in an instant, and said: “I won’t do it!”

As if he felt that he had spoken too loudly, and was afraid of scaring Xie Lian and making him resist, Hua Cheng took a few steps back, slowed down his tone, his face was gloomy, cautious and forbearing, and said in a deep voice: “Your Highness, I won’t do anything. You… don’t be afraid.”

Thanks for understanding.

Huacheng was still unsure about what kind of response he would get from Xie Lian after the curse was lifted, so he simply stopped listening to the response.

Huacheng seemed to be restraining some impulse, and once again said in a vow-like tone, “Your Highness, believe me.”

Although, this sentence of “trust me” is not very confident compared with what he has said before.Xie Lian still wanted to answer him, but couldn’t. She struggled and was afraid that he would misunderstand him even more, so she had to lie flat, motionless, and wait for the power of the obedience talisman to pass.Seeing that he no longer “resisted”, Huacheng walked up again, stretched out his hand, and untied Xie Lian’s belt.

Xie Lian said: “Sanlang???”

Of course, he fully believed that Huacheng would not take advantage of others, but this development was not at all what he expected, and he couldn’t help but open his eyes slightly.Although Hua Cheng took off Xie Lian’s clothes, he tried his best not to touch his body, so he was not very fast. It took him a long time to take off his coat, and then his middle coat.It wasn’t until a necromancy butterfly flew to Xie Lian’s shoulder and settled down, a warm and itchy feeling crawled onto his skin. He glanced at it with the corner of his eye and realized that his shoulder was purple and slightly swollen, and some places were slightly chapped. After the silver butterfly settled on it, the situation improved slightly.

It was frostbite left after crawling around in the ice and snow.

Xie Lian didn’t notice it at all, because he was no longer very sensitive to pain. He would freeze when he was cold. Even if he found out about the injury, he probably would have left it alone and waited for it to heal on its own.However, Huacheng knew better than himself where he was injured. He still remembered this and must treat his wounds.

While he was slightly lost in thought, Huacheng held up his arm again.There were more frostbites on the hands and feet, and some places were already bleeding due to the violent running and pulling.Xie Lian is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid of tickling.Moreover, I can’t help but think of fragments from many years ago in my mind.The dark cave, the young man’s trembling and hot hands, the panicked random touches, the chaotic breathing and heartbeat…

These things that had been diluted to the point of being diluted in his memory had long since been dusted away and thrown into a corner.Looking back now, it has a completely different taste, which makes people want to hold their heads and scream, especially now that Huacheng is right in front of him, almost doing the same thing. Xie Lian’s face and brain are on fire, and he is really afraid of letting him see it.However, Huacheng did not look at him. He kept his promise and never crossed the line. He turned his head slightly and did not look at the exposed half-white shoulders.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from behind Huacheng: “Huacheng! What do you, a lunatic, want to do to His Royal Highness?! This is so disgusting!”

Huacheng turned around suddenly, and Xie Lian also looked past him and looked at the entrance of the grotto.The one who spoke was actually Mu Qing!

Feng Xin was also beside him.The two of them had just been wrapped into pupae by Huacheng. They didn’t know how they broke free and found this place.When they saw this scene in the grotto, their faces turned pale.Xie Lian’s face also turned pale.

This scene is terrible!

Feng Xin pointed at Huacheng, then pointed at Xie Lian, whose clothes were half-undressed, and after a while he squeezed out a few words: “You… you… let him go quickly!”

Huacheng quickly pulled up Xie Lian’s clothes and said coldly: “You two losers still dare to come here because you think your life is too long.”

Mu Qing mocked: “Take your dirty hands away. The toad wants to eat swan meat. Don’t say that you have been thinking about it for eight hundred years. No matter how much you yearn for a thousand or ten thousand years, you can’t even touch a finger of His Highness the Crown Prince!”

Hearing this, Xie Lian’s heart skipped a beat.While feeling slightly angry, he also faintly noticed something was wrong.

What’s going on with these two people?Even if Hua Cheng had just beaten them up, they would not have spoken so harshly, especially Mu Qing, as if they were deliberately trying to anger Hua Cheng.What is the purpose of irritating Huacheng and the others and they have nothing to eat and cannot be beaten?Moreover, their words also pointed the finger at Xie Lian, as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos and that Huacheng would not do something to Xie Lian in anger.

Huacheng was indeed irritated, and black energy flashed on his pale face.He whispered: “Since you are deliberately seeking death——”

Xie Lian saw the undisguised murderous intent in his eyes, and was horrified: “Don’t!!!”

Too late.The scimitar was unsheathed, and the cold light of fate flashed past!

Feng Xin and Mu Qing were both startled, and subconsciously lowered their heads.Fortunately, no wounds were seen on the body.

Unexpectedly, before they could breathe a sigh of relief or counterattack, the next moment, their upper bodies fell off their lower bodies with a “dong” sound.

Blood spurted out wildly, and the ground was covered with blood.

Xie Lian never expected that things would develop like this. He collapsed on the stone bed and was stunned.

Huacheng, unexpectedly, cut Feng Xin and Mu Qing in half!

The two men were not completely dead yet. They rolled to the ground. One gritted his teeth and the other roared. The scene was too horrible to watch.Huacheng put away the scimitar with a stern expression, only a small part of his face was stained with blood, and a wisp of bright red made the evil spirit between his eyebrows more dazzling.

He stood in the pool of blood for a moment, turned around, and walked towards Xie Lian.Seeing Huacheng’s sullen face, getting closer and closer, Xie Lian finally came back to his senses.At this time, Huacheng had already forced himself in front of him, held one of his hands, pressed him into his arms with great force, and whispered: “…How can it be possible to let go.”

Xie Lian was hugged tightly by him and was speechless. Huacheng whispered in his ear again.His heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and suddenly he felt his body relax.

The obedience charm Mu Qing drew on his back was finally erased.

Although he said he would not let go, after helping him unlock the obedience talisman, Huacheng still slightly let go and let go of Xie Lian.Xie Lian took a deep breath, jumped up, threw himself into a pool of blood on the ground, and said: “Feng Xin? Mu Qing? How are you two?!”

Mu Qing’s injuries were more serious, blood was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were blurred.Feng Xin was still breathing, so he held his hand tightly and said: “Prince…Your Highness…”

Xie Lian also held his hand tightly and said: “What? What do you want to say?”

Feng Xin swallowed a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth: “Be careful… Huacheng… don’t get close to him… he… is a monster!”

It seemed like he was trying his best to say this warning before he died. Unexpectedly, the expression on Xie Lian’s face gradually calmed down and he said: “Monster?”

He let go of Feng Xin’s hand, stood up, and said, “I’m curious, are you weird?”

Hearing this, Feng Xin was startled.As soon as the words fell, Xie Lian pulled out the heart with lightning speed, pierced Feng Xin’s heart, and nailed him to the ground!

Feng Xin looked in disbelief and said: “Your Highness, you!…” Before he could finish speaking, he stopped talking.Xie Lian pulled out the heart from his heart, dropped the blood, and retreated to Huacheng. The tip of his sword pointed at the two corpses on the ground and said: “You have seen the blood, so don’t talk with these two skins, right?”

“Hahaha…”

On the ground, there was a sudden sneer. It was the body of Mu Qing, who had been cut into two parts, turned his head and laughed.

His upper body was lying on the ground. Even if he wanted to turn his head, he could only put half of his face on the ground. However, his head was completely turned around, smiling at Xie Lian face up!

really.These two are not the real Feng Xin and Mu Qing at all, but two fakes who appeared out of nowhere.

The real Feng Xin and Mu Qing are still trapped in the big white cocoon, trying to tear them out.When Huacheng came over to help Xie Lian unlock the obedience talisman, this was what he whispered in his ear.

Their pale faces were not because of surprise or fear, but because they were not human in the first place!

Xie Lian had already drawn his sword. “Feng Xin” and “Mu Qing” both smiled and said in unison: “As you wish.”

After saying that, they turned into two pools of pus and blood.Huacheng stopped in front of Xie Lian. The two pools of pus and blood flowed and merged on the ground. Bubbles bubbled up like they were boiling and gradually condensed into a human shape.Watching the mass twisting and forming little by little, growing bigger and bigger, a chill ran from Xie Lian’s waist to his vest.

After a moment, the “Feng Xin” and “Mourning” in front of them disappeared, replaced by a long-shouldered young man in white.

Judging from his figure, this young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He wore a mask, half crying and half smiling.Although his face could not be seen, a clear teenage voice came from behind the mask.

He said warmly: “Hello, thank you for your pity.”

Xie Lian’s lips moved unconsciously, and his whole scalp was numb.Huacheng stood in front of him, raised his knife and slashed away!

Facing the fatal demon front of the scimitar, the man in white was not afraid at all. He staggered away with a slight difference and ducked behind Huacheng in an instant. He stretched out his hand towards Xie Lian, as if he wanted to touch his face.Silver light passed by, and Huacheng stopped in front of him again, saying coldly: “Take your dirty hands away.”

It was actually the original sentence returned.The right hand of the man in white was cut off by misfortune and fell to the ground.But this had no effect on him at all. The wide sleeves flicked to cover the broken arm, and with another hand, a brand new hand grew out of the broken arm. It pointed in a claw position and pointed directly towards Huacheng’s right eye!

The whole process takes just one sound.Huacheng also dodges very fast, but still leaves two blood marks on one side of his cheek.

This was the first time that Huacheng could not completely crush the opponent in terms of speed. With a look in his eyes, he immediately changed his strategy, summoned thousands of dead butterflies, and rushed towards the opponent crazily.Countless silver butterflies wrapped the man in white into a shining silver human-shaped chrysalis, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t last long.Huacheng was about to pull Xie Lian when he heard those silver butterflies scream and explode into thousands of sparkling silver powder!

Seeing Huacheng’s face change slightly, Xie Lian knew that destroying so many dead spirit butterflies at once would be a bad situation.The man in white who exploded the dead butterflies hid behind the silver powder that was scattered all over the sky. He quickly found the newly emerged hand and dug into Huacheng’s right eye again!

This time, it was Xie Lian’s turn to pull out the heart and chop it down!His sword not only cut off the arm of the man in white, but also cut off almost half of his body.Taking this opportunity, Huacheng said: “Your Highness, let’s go!”

Xie Lian also knew not to fight, so he gave up when he saw fit. The two of them rushed out of the grotto and ran all the way through the dark cave passage, unobstructed.Xie Lian said while running: “It’s him! He…is really not dead!”

Huacheng was leading the way, running faster but more calmly. While setting up many obstacles with butterfly formations and cocoon silk along the way, he said: “It may not be the original one.”

Xie Lian stopped, held his head slightly, and said: “No… I can feel it, it must be the original one! Not only is he not dead, but he is stronger, something made him reborn… Otherwise, how could he directly transform into Feng Xin and Mu Qing? It is difficult to fake ascended priests, and it is almost impossible to make their fake skins!”

Hearing that something was wrong with his tone, Huacheng also steadied himself, turned around and pulled him, saying: “Your Highness! Don’t be afraid. It’s not necessarily that he is stronger. There is another possibility that he is very familiar with Feng Xin and Mu Qing! That’s why he can make their fake skins. You must all be with this person…”

Before he finished speaking, Xie Lian’s eyes fell on the hand he was holding on to.Seeing this, Huacheng’s words and expressions were condensed, his color was reduced, he retracted his hand, put it behind his back, turned around and continued to walk forward.Xie Lian did not follow him and said: “Sanlang.”

Huacheng froze and paused, but did not look back. He just responded: “Your Highness.”

His voice sounded relatively calm.Xie Lian stood behind him and said: “Just now, a lot of things happened, and everyone was a little confused.”

Huacheng said: “Yeah.”

Xie Lian continued: “Although I am still in a hurry now, I still want to ask you a question now. Please answer me truthfully and seriously.”

“…”

Huacheng said: “Okay.”

Xie Lian solemnly said: “Who is the ‘noble man with golden branches and jade leaves’?”

The finger tied with the red thread knot in Huacheng twitched twice unnoticeably.

After a long silence, he slowly said: “Your Highness already knows, why bother asking again.”

Xie Lian nodded and said: “That’s it. I didn’t accuse you wrongly. That’s really the case.”

Huacheng said nothing.

After a pause, Xie Lian said calmly: “You don’t want to know, what do I think about this?”

“…”

Huacheng tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to turn back, but he still didn’t dare to look directly at Xie Lian, only showing the two bright red blood marks on his face, and said: “Your Highness, can you not tell me?”

His voice was hoarse.Xie Lian said: “I’m sorry. It’s impossible not to make this matter clear.”

Huacheng didn’t need to breathe, but after hearing this, he still took a deep breath.

Although his face was extremely pale, he still smiled and said gracefully: “That’s right. That’s fine.”

He closed his eyes like a death row prisoner awaiting sentencing.Unexpectedly, after closing for a while, those eyes suddenly opened again.

A pair of hands hugged him behind him and hugged him hard.

Xie Lian buried her face behind his back and said nothing.Although he said nothing, it was enough.

After a long time, Xie Lian felt that the person he was hugging turned around and hugged him tightly.

He heard Huacheng’s quiet voice coming from above: “…Your Highness. You are really…killing me.”
