My Demon Queen

Chapter 193 Feelings

"Ah... Why do I feel like I'm being held in a tight spot? Witch, just wait for me!

"Ye An used all his strength to chop down the tree while shouting at the top of his lungs.

Beads of sweat rolled down his flushed face, sparkling brightly under the bright sunlight.

"Stop howling, you picked it, idol."

Ye Quan teased with a bit of joking in his consciousness space.

"Get lost, you're still playing tricks at this time, do you think I'm in the mood for this?"

Ye An's eyes were wide open and he roared unhappily. His angry eyes seemed to be able to spew out raging fire in an instant.

Then, he gathered his spiritual power in his hands, transformed it into a hand knife, and swiftly chopped down a tree that was as thick as two people.

"boom--"

There was a sudden and deafening bang, causing the leaves around to flutter down.

The big tree fell down with a loud bang, leaving behind a fracture that was as neat as if it had been carefully carved and cut by a skilled craftsman.

"You deserve it. I tell you, you should have just left. You had to make yourself suffer."

Ye Quan said with a slightly gloating tone.

Ye An responded thoughtfully as he split the tree skillfully and methodically, polishing every part meticulously.

"Leave? Where can I go? From the initial threats from Mo Qingcheng to the fact that everything was settled later, I really don't know how I feel about her, but I just don't want to leave her."

Ye Quan smacked his lips and said doubtfully, "Are you a masochist? Could it be that you are..."

"Just shut up. There are so many things in my memory. Can't you learn something good?"

Ye An retorted angrily, but his hands did not stop moving for a moment.

"The key is that you don't have anything good worth learning from me..." Ye Quan muttered softly.

"Get out! My reputation will be ruined by you sooner or later." Ye An replied loudly in frustration.

"Tsk, tell me why you don't want to leave Mo Qingcheng?" Ye Quan put away his joking expression and asked seriously.

Ye An carefully removed the last piece of bark, stared at the smooth tree for a long time, and fell into deep thought.

Ye Quan was not in a hurry either. He just stayed quietly in the consciousness space, patiently waiting for Ye An's answer.

After a long time, Ye An gently stroked the smooth bark and slowly spoke.

"In fact, the time when I wanted to escape the most was when I was trapped in the blood pool. For five whole years, I never saw the sun. I was forced to bleed continuously for five years. I was like a prisoner deprived of my freedom. I didn't have anything I wanted to get. To put it bluntly, I just wanted to get rid of that hellish place called the blood pool."

Ye Quan remained silent. He knew in his heart that he had not yet recovered at that time and had no ability to change Ye An's miserable situation.

"I thought my life would end at that moment, but I met Mo Qingcheng and realized that I was bleeding for her. Her appearance was like a faint light flickering in the darkness, making me feel like I could still communicate with a normal person."

Ye An paused, then continued, "Later, I still wanted to leave, and even thought that it would be fine even if I died outside, but you influenced me and made me agree to Mo Qingcheng's proposal."

"It can be said that there are both good and bad sides. After leaving the blood pool and looking at the rolling, majestic mountains of the demon clan, I really didn't know where to go for a moment. I was full of curiosity and fear about this strange world, so I just stayed."

"Life is indeed much better than when I was in the blood pond. Although I will be bullied by Mo Qingcheng, it is getting better slowly. The higher and more demands a person has, the easier it is to be dissatisfied. But what can we do if we are dissatisfied? We can only strive, fight, resist and struggle. It's too tiring. I don't like it."

"Later, Mo Qingcheng's attitude towards me changed. He taught me formations, arranged everything for me, and even protected me later. Do you think that a free-spirited person like me would choose to leave and find a new place to go?"

Ye An finished speaking slowly, without any emotion in his eyes, but his slender fingers were still gently stroking the smooth tree trunk, as if he was silently telling it the secrets from his heart.

"According to what you said, it is indeed the wisest choice to stay with Mo Qingcheng." Ye Quan said.

"That's right. Besides, I have such a beautiful girl by my side and we have a certain emotional foundation. I'm not stupid, so why should I run away?"

Ye An spoke with a smile on his face as he began to work on the tree trunk. His movements were brisk and focused, and pieces of wood gradually took shape in his hands.

“With the kind of relationship you have, anyone who sees you would be speechless.” Ye Quan said while rolling his eyes in his consciousness space.

"Tsk, who can explain the matter of love? Love is all about reason, not logic. Some people fall in love at first sight, some develop feelings over time, some turn to hate because of love, and some turn to love because of hate. So, love is just inexplicable." Ye An said.

"I don't understand you people, you're so complicated and boring." Ye Quan said.

Ye An curled his lips and ignored Ye Quan, concentrating on cutting the tree trunk into pieces of wood.

The camera turns back to Mo Qingcheng

Mo Qingcheng sat upright in the middle of the wooden house, her purple skirt falling down.

Her slender fingers were like the nimble wings of a butterfly, changing her finger gestures gracefully and quickly, and every movement was precise and smooth.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be ignited, and a visible spatial fluctuation spread out like water ripples.

At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, madly gathering into a huge tornado.

The tornado roared with violent power, yet seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, rushing obediently towards Mo Qingcheng's body.

Spiritual power surged into Mo Qingcheng's body like a tide, and her body trembled slightly as if she was under tremendous pressure.

The objects in the wooden house shook slightly and creaked under the impact of this powerful force.

Mo Qingcheng still sat steadily, like an unshakable mountain, absorbing this majestic spiritual power with his whole body and soul.

In less than a moment, all the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles was completely absorbed by Mo Qingcheng.

However, in Mo Qingcheng's spiritual sea, this seemingly powerful spiritual power was like a light rain falling on the vast Gobi Desert. It only made the dry spiritual sea slightly moist and did not play any substantial role.

"It seems I have to recover slowly. I overdrew too much before."

Mo Qingcheng carefully felt the subtle changes in her own spiritual sea, sighed quietly, and shook her head gently. A trace of helplessness and loss emerged on her beautiful face.

"However, we can use this spiritual power for sensing purposes first. This way, we can detect any disturbances around us immediately."

Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then changed her finger gestures deftly.

Then she placed the index fingers of both hands on her temples.

Suddenly, a wonderful feeling came over him, and Mo Qingcheng clearly felt everything around him.

Even with your eyes closed, you can see and hear everything around you clearly as if you were in the daytime.

Mo Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes, a look of satisfaction revealed in her beautiful eyes, and she nodded gently.

Then, she stood up gracefully, her purple dress drooping down naturally like a dreamy cloud, covering her graceful body. She walked slowly outside with lotus steps.

"The human race's sky is really blue."

Mo Qingcheng stood under the eaves, looking up at the human race's azure gemstone-like sky and the bright and warm sunshine.

For a moment, the gentle breeze brushed across her face, as if taking away all her fatigue and worries, making her feel lighter and her mood became more relaxed.

"I don't know how he's doing."

Mo Qingcheng looked at the woods in the distance with joy. Her curious eyes seemed eager to penetrate the woods and know Ye An's progress.

When Mo Qingcheng thought of Ye An's indignant look as he dived into the woods to make a bed for himself, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, and a faint smile bloomed like a spring flower.

Then, Mo Qingcheng gently closed her eyes, concentrated her five senses towards the direction of the woods, trying to observe Ye An's every move.

At this moment, Ye An was sweating profusely. He had finally finished splitting the wooden boards and was tying them up one by one. He also compared them from time to time to carefully check if there were any wooden boards of different sizes.

His focused and serious expression seemed as if he was carving a unique treasure.

Seeing Ye An making the bed for her so carefully, Mo Qingcheng's heart was slightly rippled, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

"It turns out that I felt the same way at that time."

Mo Qingcheng withdrew her five senses and felt her own heartbeat, steady and powerful, and every beat seemed to carry some indescribable emotion.

"Mo Qingcheng, your worry is totally unnecessary. A person like Ye An, no matter how cold he is, can always make your heart beat without you noticing. Why bother to impose a soul restriction on him?"

Mo Qingcheng muttered in her heart with a hint of contempt, but her eyes were still looking at the sky calmly, and her thoughts seemed to drift far away.

"Or maybe it's right. If it weren't for this restriction, Ye An... I would really kill him..."

Mo Qingcheng thought silently in her heart, then came to her senses, stopped thinking about it, turned around and walked towards the big tree.

However, as she walked away, she still glanced in the direction of the woods. This time, her eyes were smiling, and the complex emotions contained in that smile were perhaps only understood by her.
