Chapter 31: The Banks of the Nai River

  Looking at the person in pain in his arms, Majo Yu's expression didn't get any better for a moment.

  "Girl, don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid..." The calm voice didn't know whether it was comforting the person in his arms or giving himself encouragement.

  。

  "Mo Jiu You... I'm so miserable..." His body's blood was being massively drained, and the intense pain made him grit his teeth. The demonic energy surged, and a bloodthirsty desire constantly rose in his heart.

  "Where does it hurt? Is it hurting somewhere?" Mo Jiu's eyes had unknowingly turned completely red, staring tightly at the person in his arms.

  Polaris's light, damn it! Why did he have to be at the end of the world now, where every second was torture for him. They had finally reunited, but his beloved Xiao Tuo had become like this. Regret had long since filled his heart, all because of his own fault; if only he hadn't given Xiao Tuo his blood back then, none of this would have happened. The more Mo Jiao Yu thought about it, the faster he moved.

  But the end of the world is not that easy to find, even with Mo Jiu You's ability, it's not a difficult task, but can the once-in-a-thousand-years Polar Light be as wished by men?

  Recalling the information obtained from the Wan Shen Tower, Mo Jiu You's face was very serious. However, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely accomplish it! The Demon Realm, Tian Wai Tian Realm, Divine Realm, Human Realm, Void Ghost Realm... apart from these, there was also the Underworld, which happened to be a necessary passage at the end of the world. Even with his identity as the Demon King, he couldn't directly teleport to the end of the world.

  On the banks of the River Styx, at the edge of the world!

  Originally, the various circles did not interfere with each other, but today, for the person he cares about most, the man had no choice but to make an exception and "borrow" a way. The force in his hand tightened again and again, Mo Jue's lips kept kissing the lightly crazed forehead, anxiously comforting him.

  And at the same time, the underworld.

  In the dark grand hall, a blue eerie flame crackled and burned. In the silent grand hall, only one person lay on the recliner, with his legs crossed, tapping his knee in rhythm, looking very content. Suddenly, the man sat up alertly, staring intently at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

  "Hmm, who am I to be blown away by such a gust of wind today? It's truly an honor to have our noble Demon King blown here~ Ah, the splendor is simply dazzling! The man said with some awkwardness, seriously sizing up the person in front of him, or rather, the person being held in Majo Yuuri's arms."

  "God of Death, I'm just passing by, could you please open the gate to the Naihe Bridge for me?" For the first time in his life, the anxious man had put aside his usual pride and was no longer referring to himself with his usual honorific.

  At the sound of these words, the man known as the God of Death suddenly changed his expression. Was this demon joking? Once the gates of the underworld were opened, what kind of consequences would it bring? It wasn't something that a small "administrator" like him could bear.

  "Don't worry, I'll take all the consequences!" Mo Jiu Yu's voice was sincere and urgent as he looked at the person in his arms.

  "This won't do, it's not that I don't want to help, but this matter can't be helped. Once the gates of the underworld are opened, those evil spirits will all flow back and no longer go to reincarnation obediently. My underworld wouldn't be needed anymore either. You'd better change your request, I'm not ready to die young yet!" The man's words made Mo Jiao Yu's face suddenly look unpleasant.

  Actually, every place and every interface has its own set of rules. Just like this underworld, any living being who dies will come to this underworld after death, as long as their soul is not destroyed, and according to their deeds in life, it will be decided what kind of person they will become in the next life. What is the end of the world is just the wandering between life and death.

  What is meant by good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, and the ones imprisoned in this underworld are naturally all the extremely evil spirits, forever suffering from imprisonment and various forms of torture. The gates of the underworld only open once every hundred years, throwing those evil spirits inside to be locked up for eternity, while also using his divine spirit to suppress them so that they dare not act recklessly. And each time it opens, he will suffer a great loss of vitality, with eighty more years until the next opening, and he's not one to take risks with his life, so why would he make this losing deal?!

  No matter what Death God thought in his heart, Mo Jiu You's face suddenly turned cold. "If you don't agree, I won't mind letting you die right now!"

  The smile froze on his face, and it was at this moment that the god of death walked out from behind the light. Half of his face was covered in black beastly markings, and a flash of anger passed through his dark blue eyes, but only for an instant, as the man was soon laughing again without a care. "Hey, you're the great Demon King, aren't you? You shouldn't be bothered with someone like me, but I'm really curious, who is that person in your arms? Why did you have to bring them across the River Styx?"

  When mentioning the person in his arms, Mo Jiu's face gradually warmed up, but when he saw his family's servant girl enduring pain and trembling, he became even more impatient. His arrogant and overbearing words came out of his mouth. "One sentence, open or not! Whether you believe it or not, as soon as I give the order, the demon clan's great army will press the border, and immediately destroy this underworld!"

  "Oh no, oh no, you mustn't, you really mustn't! I'm scared to death, where did this huge anger come from?!" His mind was shaken, and when he felt the king's pressure, the Lord of the Underworld also changed his face. In an instant, he had a timid look again, but those dark blue eyes were moving nimbly, and at a glance, you could tell that he was plotting something."

  The two continued to confront each other, but the pain was unbearable. The dark spirit pearl struggled desperately to break free, stirring restlessly on her spiritual foundation, making her mood unstable as well. Her mouth corner was bitten until it bled, which made Mo Jiao Yu even more heartbroken.

  "Get out of the way!" The man took big strides forward, clearly intending to force his way through.

  "Hold on!" A loud and confident voice had just been shouted out, but before it could even be sustained for a moment, the Grim Reaper immediately returned to its previous nonchalant demeanor. "What's the rush? I didn't say we couldn't negotiate, Your Majesty of the Demon Realm's request, how dare I not comply?! It's just that opening the gates of the Underworld once will come at a tremendous cost for me, so..."

  Understand what the unspoken words mean, Mo Jiu Yu generously gave a promise, hope is in front of him, he said that no matter what, he can't give up. "The demon clan owes you a favor, if there's anything you need in the future, just ask, I, Mo Jiu Yu, will definitely do it!"

  Upon hearing this, the Death God laughed, and even the beastly markings on his face became more vibrant. He had seen many big shots before, but this was the first one who dared to utter such arrogant words, and he knew that this demon meant what he said. Alright then, he would reluctantly grant him a personal favor, only he didn't know how long he would have to rest again afterwards. Alas, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was getting ripped off!

  "That's all I need to hear! Follow me then!" With a flick of his head, the Death God took the lead, but his gaze kept darting towards Ling Xiao. It was clearly a human aura, so why was it being held in the arms of the proud Demon King? He just couldn't understand it, no matter how hard he tried!

  The comforting pat on the back, Mo Jiu You followed closely behind, her mind completely occupied by one person. It wasn't until they arrived in a different dimension that she finally stopped.

  Enduring all the way, the Death God still couldn't control his own curiosity and asked out loud the doubts in his heart. "Your Majesty the Demon King, would you mind revealing your relationship with this human?"

  He gently lifted her up, and Mo Jiu's heart felt a softness he couldn't quite comprehend. His voice was also uncharacteristically gentle. "My demonic queen..."

  Huh?

  "This is quite a shocking secret! The Grim Reaper blinked his eyes, stretching out his hand in surprise. It's been so long since I've heard anything about it, although the various realms don't interact with each other, they would still know if something big happened! Oh right, previously the Demon Clan suddenly had a little princess appear, now having a Demon Queen is probably not that strange either."

  After all, it's someone else's business, can't think clearly, the god of death won't think about it anymore. With a finger seal in hand, surrounded by holy light, suddenly, a huge golden crystal nucleus appeared, it turned out that this person was not "human", but a beast!

  Only the dazzling golden crystal nucleus was seen spinning continuously, vaguely drawing out a door shape. At the same time, the Death God's face turned increasingly ugly, and the black beast pattern on his face slowly faded in color. The person who always had a playful smile now painfully furrowed his brow. When the door shape became more and more distinct, the originally large golden crystal nucleus was left only the size of a thumb cover.

  "This time I've made a big sacrifice, you must keep your promise!" The crystal nucleus was recalled into his body, the Death God stumbled and almost fell, but a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Thank you!" Rarely did Mo Jiu Yu speak words of gratitude, but of course everything was for the person in his arms.

  "Wow, I'm so lucky to have gotten a thank you from the great Demon King. It's truly a once-in-three-lifetimes opportunity~" As he watched the person walk step by step towards the gate, Death finally stood up, and only when the figure disappeared did his expression turn calm and collected, without any of the previous impertinence. The man touched the beastly markings on his face, but in his heart, he was very conflicted - he didn't know if what he had done was right or wrong, but being able to get a promise from the Demon King was worth it! However, even if it was the Demon King, did they really think that crossing the River Styx would be so easy?

  Little did he know that after many years, the Grim Reaper would celebrate numerous times for his past "meddling", and only then would he avenge himself and reclaim the glory that was rightfully his!

  But on this side, Mo Jiu You led the way, and as soon as they stepped through the gate, it immediately disappeared behind them. The two were instantly plunged into the banks of the River Styx, where a crimson tide surged towards them like blood, intent on devouring them whole, without any special consideration for the presence of the Demon King. Resentment, death, and all negative emotions closed in, fueling the already explosive emotional fire.

  Seeing this, Mo Jiu Yu's killing intent was fully released, and he operated the magic energy to fill his entire body. He hoped to end the battle quickly because on one hand, he had to protect Xiao Liu from getting hurt, but on the other hand, Xiao Liu couldn't absorb too much of his magic energy. At present, the most important thing was still to find the Polar Light.

  The dark golden demonic aura filled his entire body, the man struggled to lift his feet, the waters of the Nai River transformed into massive waves, wanting to engulf and destroy the two who were about to emerge, then merge with them. Every step was a torment, as if countless hands were pulling him back, the demonic aura was being consumed, forcing Mo Jiu Yu to reinforce her magic once again, yet despite exerting such great effort, before his eyes still stretched out the endless waters of the Nai River.

  What makes it even more difficult for the man is that the little girl in his arms can't withstand his strong magic power, and the demonic energy around her is also growing, slowly gathering into a human shape, shouting to break free from its restraints.

  "Girl, just bear with it a bit longer, we'll be there soon, very soon!" The panicked words were unclear whether they were comforting the person in her arms or herself.

  A pair of red pupils opened, looking at the man in front of him, with a hint of madness and acid in his heart. A hoarse voice came out, filled with immense pain. "Ruined... Spiritual Foundation..."

  "No way! Just one more step, girl, hold on a bit longer, trust me! And then I'll see the arrogant and carefree little girl again, that lively little girl is my favorite. So you have to believe me!" His casual words made the demonic energy thin out once more, but even though he couldn't bear to see the person in his arms suffer, he had no choice but to increase his magic power again, taking a laborious step forward.

  He had never imagined that the Naihe Bridge would be like this, and even the Demon King Zun could only take a difficult step by step. If it were someone else, they might have been reduced to nothing but bones and ashes long ago.

  His whole body trembled non-stop, the magic text on his forehead kept flashing, and the dark shadow also began to become substantial. He tried to break free, but was pressed back by Mo Jiu You. Unexpectedly, the dark shadow became more courageous as it struggled, and instead absorbed the magic energy even more fiercely, attempting to escape again. At the same time, the Dark Spirit Pearl in the center of his spiritual foundation also underwent a violent shock, causing the other spirit pearls to become unstable and start to turn black.

  Time and time again, he encouraged himself, this was also Mo Jiu You's first "down-to-earth" victory over adversity. The demon yuan that had not yet healed in the Wan Shen Tower was used again in large quantities, and could only be persisted with difficulty.

  Nor did he know how long he had walked, until the man thought there was no end to it, when the brilliant light appeared before his eyes, Mo Jiu You was so excited that he even wanted to shout loudly.

  "Girl, girl, we've found it, we're here, it's the Light of the Extreme! You're saved......" The man dispersed all the demonic energy from his body and passionately kissed Liancui, as if he was reborn from death. It seemed like hope was right in front of him, bringing joy. Just then, the water of the Underworld River behind them suddenly disappeared overnight, as if it had never appeared before. Only the sacred light streaked across, elusive and intangible.

  As I lifted my body to look forward, even the most arrogant person would be deeply shocked by the beauty in front of me. Against a purple-red background, fleeting rays of light flashed across the sky, a pure white that seemed like mischievous children, running wildly without any rules; or like shooting stars in the night sky, giving people a brief surprise. In an instant, countless rays of light transformed into different shapes, like a thousand horses galloping, like dragons chanting in the nine heavens, so beautiful and magnificent, making people drunk with delight. However, compared to these beautiful scenes, what is most worth mentioning is still the energy within this light, strong and sacred, as if even a single breath would be a kind of pollution, as if it could wash away all the sins of the world, and bring a tolerant and open-mindedness that encompasses everything.

  But just the residual light has such an astonishing effect, I really don't know what kind of breathtaking reverence it will be when we find the source of the polar lights.

  Leaning against the man's body, she let out a long sigh of relief, and the restless Dark Spirit Pearl finally calmed down, allowing her to catch her breath.

  "Girl, come quickly, let's move forward!" Pulling Qing Kuang's hand, Mo Jiu hurriedly walked forward, and soon they would be able to embrace hope. His family's girl would get better, and this matter would be resolved. Moreover, there was still the demon blood! Otherwise, it would always be a hidden danger. However, just as he took a step forward, he was suddenly hugged by someone.

  Tightly embracing the man's broad chest, lightly letting tears flow, yet still not releasing her hands.

  "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable somewhere?" Mo Jiu Yu gently stroked Xiao Yao's hair and asked softly.

  Soft lips pressed against the man's slightly cool thin lips, gently entwining his neck. For this unyielding and deep affection, for this heart that beats only for her sincerity, and even more for this person's boundless love...

  The holy light of the sky shines brightly in the background, and the scene of two people embracing and kissing each other writes the most beautiful emotions in the world. And this is what makes countless people extremely envious, even a lifelong pursuit that cannot be obtained.

  Digression

  He's snapped out of it...
