Our Villains Don't Want To Be Stepping Stones

Three years in a flash!

Domain, Heavenly Temple.

I saw Ling Xiao dressed in black, and the magic knife in his hand fell horizontally, shattering the void.

In front of him, a small figure suddenly turned into nothingness and disappeared in place.

"Huh? Space Dao?"

Ling Xiao smiled, the blood moon floated and sank in his eyes, and Qinglian came into the world, imprisoning the world.

And at the end of the void, a milky voice of grievance suddenly came, "If you don't come, you won't come, father, you're lying, you said you wouldn't use your pupil power!"

"How many times have I told you that in the immortal journey, there are all dream bubbles. Everything, you have to distinguish the true from the false by yourself, instead of listening to what others say."

Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled, the soul light in his eyes dissipated, he put away the Samsara Demon Blade, and turned his head to look behind him.

There, Gu Chaoci was wearing a phoenix robe, with a gentle smile, but the light in his eyes was a bit... sad.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand, "Xiaoyao, go and play by yourself."

"Yeah! I'm going to Aunt Nanli. She said she'll build an invincible battleship for me!"

Ling Xiaoyao cheered and left the Heavenly Palace as if fleeing, heading towards the Hall of Divine Weapons where Nan Lixue was located.

although!

Now everyone in the realm has disappeared with Ling Xiao.

However, no matter it is the medicine hall in Hanzhan, or Nan Lixue, Yuan Tianfeng and others, they are still doing their own things conscientiously.

"Husband."

It wasn't until Ling Xiaoyao's figure was far away that Gu Chaoci walked over and snuggled into Ling Xiao's arms.

"Xiaoyao has grown up day by day, and I can see you every day. I'm really... very satisfied."

"Ten Ten Thousand Years ago, you were willing to be in the lower realm and fell here."

Ling Xiao suddenly lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, still with a gentle and clean smile on his face.

Hearing this, Gu Chaoci's delicate body trembled slightly, and the light in his eyes seemed to flicker, "Husband, didn't we agree that we should no longer care about the past."

"Yeah, I'm just curious, the dignified Qinghuang Lord, is it really willing to give up the entire Phoenix clan and allow them to be persecuted by the immortal clan?"

"I... husband, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"In the past three years, I have been thinking about one thing, why are you so sure that I will definitely lose if you re-enter the Immortal Realm."

Ling Xiao looked into the distance and looked at the sea of ​​​​clouds in the distance, "I saw the sadness in your eyes today, I probably guessed it."

"Husband..."

"The fall of the demons was due to you, right?"

Ling Xiao suddenly smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

From the very beginning, he knew that the woman in front of him was not Gu Chaoci at all, but the Azure Phoenix Lord.

only!

The fall of the demons back then was confusing, and Ling Xiao always felt that there must be a great conspiracy hidden in it.

Therefore, he just pretended to fall into an illusion just to uncover this past.

However, what surprised Ling Xiao was that in the past three years, Qinghuang had never shown the slightest hostility towards him.

"Yes."

Qinghuang didn't deny it at all, but hugged Ling Xiao harder, tears streaming down her eyes.

"What happened back then? Do you really hope that we will live in such a dream forever?"

Ling Xiao's brows were furrowed, and he felt more and more in his heart that behind the world of the heavens, there seemed to be an invisible big hand that was always in control of the fate of all beings. Even if he did everything, but now it seems that he is still in the chess game and has never broken free.

"You already knew?"

Qinghuang raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao, her eyes were full of surprise, "Actually... I should have guessed, this is your world, how could you fall into an illusion so easily, it seems, I'm just... myself You're just lying to yourself."

"Husband, I'm sorry, I know you will blame me. Why did my Phoenix family break the promise in the last battle that year and never show up..."

"Actually, my Phoenix clan was plotted against. Back then, a traitor appeared in my clan, colluded with the immortal clan, and trapped me on the Xianhuang Mountain. I heard with my own ears that someone in the Temple of Heaven was secretly leaking your whereabouts. Immortals have completely taken the lead."

"who's that person?"

Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, he was too lazy to pay attention to the grievances between the Heavenly Demon and the Phoenix Clan.

However, now it seems that the situation in Jiutian is far more complicated than he imagined.

"I don't know, but... it should be a pivotal figure in the Temple of Heavenly Demons. After all, the one who can control your whereabouts is at least on the throne."

Qinghuang shook her head, looked at the man in front of her with affectionate eyes, and suddenly smiled freely.

"I've loved you for endless years, but I didn't expect...in the end...it became a marriage in my reincarnation. It's a pity...I was injured too badly. Although I was reborn with the power of Nirvana, I lost most of my memories. Thanks to this one The seal of the phoenix has awakened a trace of my soul."

"Ling Xiao, I know, I can't keep you, just like before, but... I just don't want to wake up! I just want to... occupy you and let you belong to me."

"Do you know? When I burned my blood, broke through the shackles of Xianhuang Mountain, and ran towards the battlefield, how scared did I feel in my heart?"

"I can lose my life, even cut off reincarnation, but I can't stand it... This world is without you."

"Ling Xiao, I really can't take it anymore, I'll lose you again."

"Ling Xiao, the traitor of the Temple of Heavenly Demons, won't let you go. You are already dead, they can't call you reincarnation."

"Do you understand? All this is likely to be a scam!"

"I know."

Just as Qinghuang's tears filled her eyes and she begged bitterly, she saw the young man in front of her suddenly nodded, revealing a gentle smile.

Immediately, Ling Xiao slowly exerted force with both hands, hugging the woman in his arms tightly.

"But... I've already died once, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"you…"

Qinghuang's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she suddenly sighed, a bitter and relieved smile on her fairy face, "Yeah, although you are no longer what you used to be, but... this stubbornness is really nothing at all. Change it, promise me one thing."

"Stay with me...until my sense of soul dissipates, I will return Gu Chaoci to you, and myself...to her."

"it is good."

Ling Xiao nodded lightly, her eyes deep.

Obviously, when Qinghuang and Gu Chaoci's souls are completely fused, the fate of the daughter of destiny will rise again.

At that time, she will not only be the new Phoenix Lord, but also the Monster Race... where the real luck lies.

But, who is the person who betrayed the Temple of Heavenly Demons?

Time passed, and it was another three years in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a phoenix roar suddenly shook the sky above the Temple of Heaven, piercing the sky.

I saw a blue phoenix shadow swaying up, covering the clouds and the sun.

The trace of demon that was originally shrouded in the domain suddenly dissipated.

Even Ling Xiaoyao's figure was blurring and disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But at this time, there was no trace of sadness on his face, but a sly smile.

At a certain moment, a look of confusion suddenly flashed in Gu Chaoci's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her head in horror and looked at the tall figure in black before her eyes, her eyes trembling.

"Ling Xiao...I was..."

Before waiting for Gu Chaoci's words to fall, Ling Xiao's face suddenly rose with a splendid look, and he embraced him in his arms, and said in a calm and authentic tone, "Welcome... come back."
