My Demon Queen

Chapter 213 Let’s tell another story

"Why aren't you hiding?" Mo Qingcheng asked coldly, her sharp eyes fixed on Ye An who was rolling on the ground. However, in the depths of her cold eyes, a trace of heartache flashed by almost imperceptibly.

After saying that, she threw the whip aside.

When Ye An saw Mo Qingcheng throwing away the whip, he immediately sat up as nimbly as a carp, with a flattering smile on his face, and came to Mo Qingcheng's side as quickly as the wind.

"Humph~"

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An's servile appearance and snorted coldly. The slight pain in her eyes disappeared instantly. She couldn't help but feel angry: "I was too gentle."

Ye An was busy comforting Mo Qingcheng as she sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, but his heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.

Although in the eyes of others, Mo Qingcheng has a capricious, violent, and cold personality, only Ye An knows that under her seemingly icy appearance, she hides an extremely soft heart.

What Ye An cares more about is Mo Qingcheng's attitude towards him. When she sees him having contact with other women, she will be jealous and angry. This undoubtedly proves that Mo Qingcheng's heart is full of him.

"Oh, my dear wife, I'm not hiding just to help you calm down." Ye An said flatteringly while rubbing Mo Qingcheng's shoulders skillfully.

"Then tell me what happened to that woman?"

Mo Qingcheng did not refuse Ye An's shoulder massage, but she did not intend to let Ye An go easily. She asked, staring at Ye An with her beautiful eyes, with suspicion in her eyes.

When Ye An heard this, he thought to himself, "Yes, I need to explain."

Then Ye An recounted what happened, but he changed the scene and the story.

It was changed to a story about a girl selling herself to bury her father. Even so, Ye An was still muttering in his heart with guilt: "Girl, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made this up. Your family members will definitely live a hundred years, definitely a hundred years, no, a thousand years... Why is it so weird? Forget it, they will definitely live a long time."

After Mo Qingcheng heard this, her expression eased a little, but she still turned her head, looked at Ye An with disdain and said, "I think you should change your face, too."

After hearing this, Ye An immediately nodded his head quickly to show his agreement and determined to carry out his wife's suggestion.

Ye An's action made Mo Qingcheng laugh sweetly. The corners of her mouth slightly raised. She turned her head, closed her eyes gently, and felt Ye An massaging her comfortably.

Ye An saw Mo Qingcheng's raised mouth corners, and felt happy in his heart. He thought to himself:

"Thinking about it, it is true. Compared to other people who traveled through time, most of them are single and have never been in a relationship. After all, I have been in a relationship before I came here. However, the feeling of love in this world is really very different from that world."

Although Ye An and Mo Qingcheng had never had a substantial relationship, this way of getting along always seemed to make him feel love more truly than in that world.

While Mo Qingcheng was feeling Ye An's massage, she secretly sighed in her heart: "I didn't expect that I would experience love like an ordinary woman in the world. This feeling seems to be very good. Just like the story Ye An told, love is the sweetest seasoning in the world."

Thinking of the story, Mo Qingcheng slowly opened his eyes and said, "Ye An, tell me a story. I haven't heard you tell a story for a long time."

Ye An also came back to his senses and heard Mo Qingcheng's request. Only then did he realize that he had not told Mo Qingcheng a story for a long time.

This reminded Ye An of the plot he had imagined before. "I won the heart of the Demon Queen by telling stories."

Ye An smiled, slowly bent down, and wrapped his hands around Mo Qingcheng's slender waist like a snake, and rested his chin affectionately on Mo Qingcheng's white neck.

This intimate and ambiguous action made Mo Qingcheng's delicate body tremble violently, as if she was electrocuted. Although she had not yet adapted to Ye An's increasingly bold and presumptuous behavior, at this moment her heart acquiesced to Ye An's behavior. Her jade-like hands also stretched out and gently pressed down Ye An's restless hands.

For a moment, the two of them were like a sweet couple immersed in love. One of them hugged the other affectionately from behind, and the other also held the other's hand tightly, quietly enjoying this warm and beautiful moment.

"What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Ye An's voice was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and his warm breath gently brushed across Mo Qingcheng's neck.

Mo Qingcheng's cheeks felt as if they were burned by fire. She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and squeezed out two words from her throat with difficulty: "All is fine."

Ye An smiled, and remembered that he had not finished reading the story in "Fox Spirit Matchmaker", so he thought of other stories.

"I want to tell you a special story. It's a long and heartbreaking story. Are you willing to listen to it?" Ye An said slowly with tenderness in his eyes.

Mo Qingcheng didn't know what heart-wrenching meant, but when she heard that this was a special story, she was filled with curiosity and wanted to listen. She couldn't help but hold Ye An's hand tightly again, nodded, and said, "I want to listen."

Ye An smiled, but then there were complicated emotions in his eyes, because this story was very heartbreaking, but only in this way could Mo Qingcheng have more emotions.

"Once upon a time, there was a woman named Tao Yao, who was revered as the Spiritual Doctor Tao Yao... The Spiritual Doctor Tao Yao only treated monsters, not humans. Among the many monsters she treated, some of the monster stories left a deep impression on her."

"According to legend, there is a monster named Ao Ji, who has the ability to predict the time of death and become invisible. She feeds on the souls of the dead, but her magic power is weak and her invisibility is not good. Every time she collects the souls of the dead, she is discovered by the family of the deceased and is often chased and hacked by them.

In desperation, she could only settle in a mass grave. Because there were enough dead souls here and no one chased her to kill her, she spent some years in peace and quiet like this.

But the good times did not last long. A mouse came running to her in a panic and told her that a Taoist priest named Jingzhe had come here with great magical powers and specialized in catching monsters.

Just when the rat demon was persuading Lao Ji to leave, Jingzhe came to the mass grave with a pot of wine and a knife. In order to escape, the rat demon said "Run" and left quickly.

But the old lady didn't react. When she did, Jingzhe was already not far away. The old lady was startled and hid in the bushes nearby.

However, the magic power of the old lady was too weak, and her hiding place was soon discovered by Jingzhe.

(Can you drink? Jingzhe frowned and asked Auntie Ji)

(Auntie stared blankly at Jingzhe, then at the bright moon behind him, and murmured to herself, “The moon is so round tonight.”)

(Jingzhe said impatiently, I'm asking you a question, can you drink?)

Only then did the old lady react. She was so scared that she ran away immediately, but she accidentally twisted her foot after only two steps.

Then, Aunt Ji saw Jingzhe walking towards her. She opened her eyes wide in fear and her body kept shaking.

The old lady was so scared that she immediately laid on the ground with her head in her hands, begging for mercy in a crying voice: (I am just an old lady, I don’t eat people, I don’t cause trouble, I can’t fly, I can’t fight, and most importantly, I’m afraid of pain)

However, there was no scene of Jingzhe killing her. Instead, Jingzhe gently picked up Aji and flew away from the mass grave.

Then the two came to a shabby thatched hut. Jingzhe did not bully the old lady, he just wanted to find someone to drink with him, and he happened to meet this old lady.

At first, Aoji was a little scared, her body tensed up, and she dared not look directly at Jingzhe. But after a long time, she realized that Jingzhe had no intention of hurting her, and then she relaxed and picked up the wine glass to drink.

The man and the monster drank happily.

Jingzhe looked at the fact that Ao Ji couldn't drink and her face turned red like a ripe apple, and he couldn't help laughing.

Then he smiled and said: (You are the only guy willing to drink with me)

From then on, the two people became neighbors, a monster living in a mass grave and a Taoist priest living in a thatched hut at the mass grave.

Ten years passed like this, but one day later, Jingzhe went out and another group of Taoist priests came to the mass grave. When they saw an old lady here, they smiled ferociously and prepared to take her in.

After discovering that the old lady was very weak, they began to punch and kick her, and some even showed obscene expressions, wanting to bully her.

At this time, Jingzhe came back. He looked gloomy and said coldly to the Taoists: (Let her go, this old lady is mine)

When the Taoists saw that the person coming was Jingzhe, they all knew that Jingzhe was the strongest, and that they couldn't beat Jingzhe together. Finally, they asked angrily, "What is your relationship with this old lady?"

Jingzhe replied without hesitation: (She is my wife)

Just like that, in the surprised gazes of everyone and A Ji, Jingzhe carried A Ji away.

The two became husband and wife at that time, but human life span is limited, but Aoji, as a monster, can live a very long time.

Jingzhe was afraid that no one would be able to protect Ao Ji after his death, so after he and Ao Ji gave birth to a daughter, he cruelly left home and became a monk.

Aoji couldn’t accept this, she cried heartbreakingly, and kept beating Jingzhe with her hands: (Why, why, what did I do wrong? It was you who promised me life, you said it was not a joke, but now you want to abandon us, how can humans deny it like this, why, why…)

When Ye An said this, he turned his head to look at Mo Qingcheng and found that Mo Qingcheng was looking straight ahead in a trance, with crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was muttering.

"Why are you denying it so much? Why, why?"

"Qingcheng? Madam? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Mo Qingcheng like this, Ye An became at a loss for a moment. He broke free from Mo Qingcheng's hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Mo Qingcheng's eyes.

Mo Qingcheng also looked back at Ye An at this moment, her eyes full of pain.

"Will you deny it?"
