My Demon Queen

Chapter 123 Immortality

“Life and immortality?”

Ye An muttered to himself and repeated these words, his brows furrowed, and many questions arose in his mind.

Then, he stared at his own shadow with a serious face with dull eyes, his body trembling slightly.

"I knew I shouldn't have told you in advance. Based on the novels and movies in your mind, and what you are thinking at the moment... I can tell you responsibly that it is infinitely close to what you think."

The phantom Ye An sighed helplessly, crossed his arms over his chest, and finally chose to confess to Ye An.

Ye An still looked at his hands in disbelief and shook his head slowly. The only possibility that just emerged in his mind was - immortality.

For others, eternal life and immortality may be a blessing, but for Ye An, it is a curse and torture.

Ye An had already experienced the death of a loved one and relatives who loved him deeply. At this moment, he bit his lips tightly and his face was pale. If such divine power were to be imposed on himself at this moment, it would undoubtedly be a torture.

The phantom Ye An felt Ye An's inner thoughts, but he just stood there expressionless, with no ripples in his heart. He did not explain or comfort Ye An's thoughts, because this was Ye An's destiny.

"Why me?"

Ye An raised his head, his eyes were dull and his expression was desperate. He looked at the phantom Ye An with a trembling voice, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

The phantom Ye An remained silent, just quietly watching Ye An's changes with cold eyes.

"Oh! Eternal life, immortality, have you ever asked me if I wanted it? When I wanted to die, you changed my mind.

When I wanted to live my life in peace, you told me that I would live forever.

What do you want, what do you want me to do..."

Ye An stared at the phantom Ye An with his eyes wide open. At this moment, that handsome face was full of ferocity. He took a step forward suddenly, as if he was about to explode completely in the next moment.

The shadow Ye An shook his head, put down his hands, and replied in a serious tone, "This is your fate. You are powerless to resist."

"Fate? Hahahahaha, fate, my fate, but I have no control over it. My fate is arranged by you step by step, and it has become an object for you to manipulate at will. Tell me, is this my fate?"

Ye An laughed almost crazily, raised his head and howled, his body shaking with anger.

Ye An's laughter echoed in this white, empty space for a long time.

His body was almost exhausted from the extreme excitement, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

The shadow of Ye An looked at him like this, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference.

"Ye An, the rules of this world are not something you and I can control. Accept the arrangement of fate, and perhaps you can find the meaning in it."

Ye An raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring fiercely at the phantom Ye An.

"Meaning? I lost my family and my love, and now I have come to this world of cultivating immortals and am bound by this so-called eternal life. Tell me, what is the meaning?"

At this moment, the air around seemed to become heavy.

The phantom Ye An remained silent. He knew the meaning of it, but now was not the time. He couldn't tell Ye An everything. If he told Ye An everything, Ye An would really go crazy.

Ye An stood up slowly, his steps unsteady. "Since I can't change it, I will find a way to break this fate."

The shadow Ye An was slightly moved, "You won't find it, and then you will find that everything you have done is in vain."

Ye An sneered, "Even if it's in vain, I'll give it a try. It's better than sinking in this endless torture."

The shadow of Ye An remained silent and did not respond to Ye An's words. Everything had already been determined, and Ye An himself had no right or opportunity to change it. But... what if he did?

Ye An looked at his own shadow standing there in silence and sneered.

"My life has been controlled by you many times. Do you still want to control it now?"

The shadow Ye An looked at Ye An's almost crazy eyes and his cold smile, shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"When we can have an equal dialogue and become independent of each other, I will no longer be able to influence your thoughts and destiny. On the contrary, I can still help you."

"Huh? Help me? How can you, a person who is also ruthlessly manipulated by fate, help me? Don't you also firmly believe that fate is fixed and difficult to change? Then how are you going to help me? A person who is deeply trapped in the prison of fate is saying such ridiculous words here, how can I believe you?" Ye An looked at the phantom Ye An with disdain and said sarcastically.

The phantom Ye An was also speechless. He had never thought that Ye An, when he was serious, could be so eloquent. He then curled his lips and returned to the state of bickering with Ye An.

"Okay, if you have time to argue with me, why don't you think about what to do with yourself? Also, you should get out."

The phantom Ye An then waved his hand and blew Ye An away. At the moment he was blown away, Ye An was still cursing angrily.

The phantom Ye An smiled indifferently, but when he saw Ye An leaving the white space, his expression became lonely.

"Old friend, can this little Ye An... succeed? Or in other words, does the world need us?"

Then a faint sigh resounded throughout the white space.

The scene changes to the Empress's Mansion

"You two should protect Xiaorou. If anything goes wrong, I'll use you to light a lamp."

Mo Ruxue spoke sternly to Sister Hei and Lao Niu.

After hearing this, Heijie and Laoniu immediately knelt down and said that they would never let Xiaorou get into any trouble.

Mo Ruxue nodded, then glanced at Xiaorou, who was holding the red panda and looking in the direction of the courtyard, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"Xiao Rou, it's time to go." Mo Ruxue said softly.

Xiaorou came to her senses and saw Mo Ruxue looking at her tenderly. She ran over and hugged Mo Ruxue's arm reluctantly.

"Master Ruxue, I'll be back soon." Xiaorou said softly.

When Mo Ruxue heard Xiaorou's words, she felt warm in her heart. She then touched Xiaorou's little head and nodded gently.

At this moment, hundreds of demon soldiers standing outside the Empress's Palace were ready to go and waiting for orders.

"Xiao Rou, these people are now in your charge. If you don't understand something, ask them two. Remember, your own safety should be the top priority." Mo Ruxue warned worriedly.

Xiaorou nodded obediently. This was her first time leaving the demon clan and also her first time leaving Mo Ruxue. She couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.

Although she had bad experiences in the demon clan, her later master and Mo Ruxue, as well as Ye An who knelt in front of Mo Qingcheng and begged her to let him go, made Xiaorou feel the warmth of home.
