My Demon Queen

Chapter 18 Please me

Ye An stood there as if he was under a spell, his eyes wide open, because he had never thought that the day of leaving here would come so soon.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up."

Mo Qingcheng opened her red lips slightly, walked slowly and gracefully towards the door with her slender jade-like legs and steps as elegant as lotus.

"Oh oh oh, good."

Ye An woke up as if from a dream, and quickly picked up the formation encyclopedia that was as thick as his head, and trotted closely behind Mo Qingcheng.

In a manor behind the Demon Clan Palace

"Hurry up, clean up this place, and here, there..."

Mo Ruxue's pretty face was filled with a cheerful smile, and she was happily giving orders to all the demon servants.

"Yes"

"Okay, Queen."

All the servants took action immediately.

"Hey, what's wrong with the empress today? Why does she suddenly want to clean up the manor?" A servant muttered in a low voice.

"I don't know. Look at the empress, she's smiling." Another servant responded in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, we haven't seen the empress smile for hundreds of years." Someone echoed.

"The empress is so beautiful when she smiles!" said a young servant in fascination.

"Stop looking and get back to work. Be careful or the empress might stop smiling and kill us all." An older servant hurriedly reminded.

The servants were discussing Mo Ruxue's changes with great curiosity, while not daring to stop their work.

"Yeah! That's right, my sister will be here soon. If she sees that I manage this place in an orderly manner, she will probably be happy."

Mo Ruxue's beautiful eyes were full of longing, and she thought with a smile, looking towards the gate with anticipation.

"Sister, where are we going from here? You're not going to sell me out, are you?"

Ye An followed behind Mo Qingcheng, looking at the blood pool getting farther and farther away, and asked anxiously.

"If I could, I'd like to sell you."

Mo Qingcheng replied without even turning back.

"Forget it, forget it. I can still be of some use to my sister." Ye An waved his hands quickly, a flattering smile on his face.

"Oh! By the way, tell me why you wanted to die so much at that time."

Mo Qingcheng looked straight ahead, Ye An's resolute look from before appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask.

Ye An stared at Mo Qingcheng's back in disbelief, secretly complaining in his heart: "Did this woman take the wrong medicine? Where is the cold and abstinent queen in the past? Where is the female devil who kills people at the slightest disagreement?"

"Ok?"

Mo Qingcheng's voice rose slightly, with a hint of chillness.

"Oh, sister, you've already heard what I said."

Ye An felt the change in Mo Qingcheng's tone and immediately put on a flattering expression and spoke.

"That shouldn't be your true thought. What else are you hiding?"

Mo Qingcheng said with a sharp look.

"Have it?"

Ye An scratched his head, his eyes somewhat evasive.

"Yes, so tell me about it."

Mo Qingcheng looked into the distance with a firm tone.

"Uh, well, there are true and false things."

Hearing this, Ye An sighed helplessly and scratched his head.

"The truth is, I'm despairing. I'm despairing of this world." A look of pain appeared on Ye An's face.

"Desperate? You mean being caught and bled?"

Mo Qingcheng tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion.

Ye An shook his head with a wry smile and explained: "Maybe, it may have something to do with the environment I live in."

"Where do you live? Isn't it just a small village?" Mo Qingcheng looked back at Ye An curiously.

Ye An was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: I can't reveal my identity as a time traveler, this has never been revealed in the novels I've read.

"Yes! It's a small mountain village. Everyone is equal. They work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. It's peaceful and safe. When they rest, they can meet up with a few friends, eat, drink and play together. They don't have to worry about losing their lives. The whole village is peaceful and tranquil."

Ye An's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was immersed in memories.

"But then everything changed. I was caught here and watched other people's blood being drained away bit by bit in front of me. They cried and begged you to let them go, but you were indifferent. In your eyes, we were like animals to be slaughtered. You had no mercy or sympathy at all."

When Ye An said this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of pain and despair.

"The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. This is the eternal law of this world. The weak will only be eliminated, and the strong will still be at the top."

Mo Qingcheng's expression was indifferent, and her cold voice reached Ye An's ears.

"Yes, this is the law no matter where you go. But people who have seen the light fall into endless darkness, and no hope will appear. How can they not despair?"

Ye An clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly.

"So, you have seen the light?"

Mo Qingcheng looked back at Ye An with interest.

Ye An also stared at Mo Qingcheng's eyes at this moment, and said seriously: "I have seen it, because I have lived there since I was a child."

Mo Qingcheng remained silent and did not speak, so he stopped arguing on this issue and continued, "Tell us your lies!"

Ye An also returned to his playful and smiling look.

"The lie is that if you die under the peony flowers, you will be romantic even as a ghost."

"Ha! True or false?"

A rare smile appeared on Mo Qingcheng's beautiful face. That smile was like a blooming spring flower, gorgeous and charming, as if it could make everything in the world pale in comparison.

Afterwards, she continued to walk forward gracefully on her own, like a green lotus isolated from the world.

Ye An stared at the back of the person in front of him, and was distracted by Mo Qingcheng's chuckle. He followed behind him like a puppet that had lost its own consciousness.

After a long time, the two people walked out of the blood pool barrier.

"Ye An. Let me see the light you mentioned if you have a chance!"

Mo Qingcheng looked at the misty and dimly visible mountains in the distance and murmured softly.

At this moment, the two of them stood quietly on the hillside. Looking ahead, the endless mountains and forests seemed to extend to the end of the world, endless.

At first glance, there are nothing but trees, layer upon layer, densely packed, like a silent green ocean.

There were no birds flying across the sky, nor any animals running through the forest. The entire forest was so quiet that it made people feel a little depressed.

There was a gray hue in the sky, as if a veil was covering the entire world.

The haze seemed to be solid, thick and dull, completely blocking out the sunlight. Not a single ray of warm light could penetrate the haze, leaving the forest in a state of darkness.

The scenery in the distance also became blurred in the gray haze, and everything seemed to be shrouded in chaos.

Although the trees in the forest are tall and straight, they look a little eerie under the cover of the haze.

The leaves also seemed to have lost their bright color and took on a dull gray-green color.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves and dead branches, adding a sense of desolation to the silence.

The whole scene is like a forgotten painting, full of desolation and loneliness, which makes people feel heavy involuntarily.

Ye An stood quietly beside Mo Qingcheng, his eyes fixed firmly on her face which was expressionless as usual, but at this moment he unexpectedly heard her say such surprising words as she wanted to see the light.

"Sister, are you okay? Why do I suddenly feel that you are different from before?"

Ye An tilted his head in some confusion, his doubtful eyes fell straight on Mo Qingcheng's face, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Why? What's the difference? In your eyes, am I just a cold-blooded female devil who only knows how to kill? Can't I have the desire to see other new things?"

Mo Qingcheng slowly turned her head, her beautiful yet sharp eyes fixed on Ye An, her words were calm but with a hint of emotion that was hard to detect.

"But sister, you are not only a female devil, you are also the empress! You are the supreme ruler of the demon clan! Shouldn't you always be that unreachable, majestic and superior? Why do you speak in such a calm tone?"

Ye An frowned, gestured and spoke seriously, his expression looking very nervous.

"Oh? So according to what you said, what tone should I use?"

An interested look appeared on Mo Qingcheng's face. She raised her eyebrows and asked Ye An, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Ahem, that should be it. Lowly mortal, take me to see the light you mentioned!"

Ye An cleared his throat, deliberately pretending to be arrogant and domineering, and spoke in an unparalleled arrogant tone, while raising his head exaggeratedly.

"Ah!"

Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes fell on Ye An again, and at this moment, she no longer seemed to make people feel scared as before, but her smile added a hint of subtle gentleness.

"Sister, you really should smile more often. You are so beautiful when you smile."

Ye An stared at Mo Qingcheng infatuatedly, with such an obsessed look that it seemed as if saliva would flow out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably in the next second, and his eyes were fixed on her.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Mo Qingcheng suddenly raised a strange sneer at the corner of his mouth. That laugh seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people shudder.

Her eyes were full of teasing at this time. She turned around slowly and walked towards Ye An steadily, step by step. Every step seemed to be stepping on Ye An's heart, and there was a dangerous light in her eyes.

"That's not necessary, that's not necessary. As long as my sister is happy, that's all."

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng who was gradually approaching, and his face was instantly filled with fear. He stammered while retreating in panic, as if he wanted to keep as much distance between himself and Mo Qingcheng as possible, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

In his heart, Ye An was really afraid of Mo Qingcheng, this terrifying female devil. Her cold eyes and chilling expression seemed to emit a chill as cold as an icy blade. Under such circumstances, how could Ye An dare to provoke her at all!

"What are you afraid of? Once you leave here, you must earnestly perform your duties and be my slave. You must also continue to tell me all the stories you know to satisfy me!"

Mo Qingcheng's voice was cold but carried unquestionable majesty, and she stared at Ye An fiercely.

"And please me!"

As soon as Mo Qingcheng finished speaking, she instantly turned back into the appearance of the cold and aloof queen. She quickly reached out her hand, grabbed Ye An's collar, and then pulled him towards her with force, her face full of domineering.

"Is this female devil learning how to change her face?"

Ye An was complaining wildly in his heart. He was really shocked by Mo Qingcheng's sudden change, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Well, I have a question?"

Ye An raised his hand weakly and tremblingly, his face full of caution, as if he was afraid of accidentally angering Mo Qingcheng, and his lips were trembling slightly.

"speak."

Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with frost as she stared at Ye An closely. The cold voice slowly came out of her mouth, and her expression was serious and indifferent.

"Slave, I can barely understand, I can understand telling stories, but this... pleasing you? I really don't understand it?"

Ye An spoke with an embarrassed look on his face, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, and his brows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
