My Demon Queen

Chapter 120 Guarding

The moment Lao Niu saw Mo Ruxue, his body trembled violently, beads of sweat the size of beans instantly emerged from his forehead. His face turned pale and his breathing became rapid.

He knelt down along with Sister Hei, with his head lowered deeply as if he wanted to bury himself in the ground, not daring to breathe.

Mo Ruxue's expression was as cold as frost, and her eyes were like cold swords. She asked coldly, "Where is the Shadow Guardian?"

Hei Jie and Lao Niu looked at each other. Lao Niu's lips trembled and his voice was vibrating with an obvious tremor. "Replying to the Empress, the Shadow Guardian should be inside the blood pool right now."

Mo Ruxue's figure was as fast as the wind and she disappeared instantly, leaving only Hei Jie and Lao Niu still kneeling there.

At this time, the cold and gloomy wind was howling around, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground everywhere.

Heijie and Laoniu remained kneeling, their bodies trembling slightly, with lingering fear in their hearts.

Mo Ruxue came to the inside of the blood pool, which was filled with a pungent smell of blood and a strange light flickered on the surrounding stone walls.

When the Shadow Guardian saw her, he just bowed slightly, without any extra expression on his face, and said in a calm and respectful tone: "Greetings, Queen."

Mo Ruxue got straight to the point and asked directly: "Where did those demons who had their hearts replaced go?"

The Shadow Guardian looked calm and replied without any disturbance: "Replying to the Empress, this is an order from above."

Mo Ruxue's brows were furrowed, like two tightly twisted braids, and she said sternly, "Tell me clearly, who is it?"

The shadow guardian's voice remained calm: "It's Master Mo Qingcheng."

Mo Ruxue looked puzzled and asked in confusion: "Why did my sister do this?"

The Shadow Guardian replied calmly, "I don't know, but the master said that if the master fails to return in time, all matters of the demon clan will still be decided by you, the queen. If Ye An wakes up, he will be arranged to enter the wonderland of creation. If he does not wake up, send the two people who have changed their hearts outside the blood pool to protect Xiao Rou."

After Mo Ruxue heard this, her chest rose and fell violently. She took a deep breath and looked towards the dark stone room at the end of the blood pool. Then, she turned her head sharply and stabbed the shadow guardian with her cold eyes like a sharp blade.

She just waved her jade hand casually, and in an instant, an extremely violent force surged out, as if an invisible giant palm was carrying the force of an overwhelming sea.

The Shadow Guardian didn't even have time to react before his body flew out at an astonishing speed like a kite with a broken string.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Shadow Protector slammed heavily into the hard stone wall. The entire stone wall trembled and broken stones fell down.

When the figure slid down, Mo Ruxue was surprised to find that the shadow protector was actually a woman.

However, the surprise only lasted for a moment, and Mo Ruxue quickly returned to her normal expression.

The moment he landed, dust flew up in the air. The Shadow Protector's face turned pale, with a trickle of bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

However, even after suffering such a heavy blow, Shadow's expressionless face still showed no trace of pain, as if he was just an unconscious puppet.

"Since my sister asked you to leave a message for me, why didn't you tell me in advance? Why did you have to wait until I came to ask in person? Shadow, you are really brave now! It seems that you don't take me seriously!"

Mo Ruxue spoke angrily with her eyebrows raised. She slowly stretched out her jade-like hand and clenched the air fiercely. The joints of her slender fingers turned white due to the force, and the blue veins on her wrists bulged out.

In an instant, Shadow's neck seemed to be tightly restrained by a red-hot iron, and wisps of white smoke came out from his entire neck.

Shadow desperately grasped his neck with both hands and kicked the ground with his feet, trying to break free from the invisible restraints.

Shadow's face turned purple, his eyes bulged outward with extreme fear, and a difficult "gurgling" sound came from his throat.

Looking at Mo Ruxue again, her pretty face was now filled with rage, she was even really angry.

Her chest heaved violently, her eyes were wide open, and her teeth were clenched.

She took a step forward, and her powerful aura made the air around her seem to solidify.

The temperature inside the entire blood pool rose sharply, heat waves rolled, and the blood in the blood pool began to boil and bubble, as if it was going to burn everything to ashes.

The surrounding stone walls showed signs of cracking under the high temperature, and some small stones could not withstand the heat and pressure and fell down.

"I... dare not..."

Shadow squeezed out these words with difficulty, clutching his neck with both hands, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Humph."

Mo Ruxue snorted coldly and flicked her hand. Shadow was like a broken kite with a cut string, and was thrown against the wall again.

"This is the first time, and I hope the last time, to see yourself clearly for who you are."

Mo Ruxue glanced coldly at the dying Shadow, said without any emotion, then turned and walked towards the stone chamber at the end of the blood pool.

When Mo Ruxue stood at the door of the stone chamber, her eyes instantly turned red and tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall.

Her slender jade-like fingers were tightly gripping the crack of the stone door. The joints turned white due to excessive force, and there were even faint blue veins bulging on the knuckles, as if by holding on so desperately, she could break this ruthless barrier and bring herself closer to her sister.

Her voice was trembling and gentle, carrying endless grievances and longings, like a wisp of misty smoke slowly dispersing in the air:

"Sister, why don't you believe that I can protect you and the demons? Sister, Ruxue misses you."

Every word seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Her voice was mixed with slight sobs, and the slightly trembling ending sound echoed in the silent space, making it even more desolate.

She leaned forward, her forehead almost touching the stone door, and her nose lightly touched the cold stone wall, trying to find a trace of comfort related to her sister from the coolness.

Mo Ruxue used a little of her spiritual sense to sense the situation in the stone chamber, and was surprised to find that her sister was wrapped in a powerful energy barrier, and her sister's cultivation was rising little by little.

When Mo Ruxue saw this, she was stunned. Her beautiful eyes were no longer moist. Instead, she was concentrating on feeling the changes in her sister's cultivation. However, the expression on her face became more and more solemn.

Afterwards, Mo Ruxue walked back to the hall with a solemn expression.

Looking at the shadow that was slowly repairing itself, he said coldly: "Observe my sister's movements carefully here. I want to know the details every day. If you dare to hide it again, I swear, I will make you wish you were dead, and even death will become a luxury."

After Mo Ruxue finished speaking, she still felt unreassured, and immediately summoned out the "Burning Fire" from her body.

Mo Ruxue changed the finger gestures with one hand, separated a soul from her body, and injected it into the "Burning Flame".

Slowly, the "Burning Flame" transformed into the appearance of Mo Ruxue, but the Mo Ruxue transformed by the "Burning Flame" was wearing a fiery red dress and there was a flame symbol on the center of her eyebrows, which made her look extremely charming and seductive.

"You stay here to guard my sister and don't allow anyone to disturb her. Also, if there is any accident, immediately communicate with me through your spirit and I will be there as quickly as possible." Mo Ruxue said to "Burning Flame".

『Fen Yan Liehuo』 just smiled lightly and replied in the same voice as Mo Ruxue: "Don't worry, she is still my sister. I know what to do. Moreover, I know what might happen. You can go without worry."
