"Brother, I will protect you."
Xie Jiuxiao grabbed Emperor Anqing’s hand, exerted a force, and exchanged their places.
Jiu Daosha rushed in and entered Xie Jiuxiao’s body.
"No, Ziyin! Quickly co out, get out of my brother’s body!" Emperor Anqing panicked, wanting to get closer, but was painfully cut by the Evil Qi and thrown out.
"Ahhh!"
The Jiu Daosha wandered within Xie Jiuxiao’s body, trying to destroy this shell, but found that it could enter but couldn’t exit.
As the strong wind blew, Mr. Dongfang coughed up blood, his eyes bright as he pointed at Xie Jiuxiao, "It’s him! It can’t be wrong! Your Majesty, Taiyin Evil, living body, consuming evil spirits, blessing the national fortune!"
The forr emperor also stared intently at Xie Jiuxiao, excitedly saying, "Is he the container that can trap the Evil Qi? Mr. Dongfang, can it really succeed?"
Mr. Dongfang gritted his teeth, "It must succeed, if not, what will happen to this world?"
Jiu Daosha wandered to Xie Jiuxiao’s limbs, they swelled up, ready to explode at any mont.
Yu Nianzhao appeared openly, furrowing his brows as he stared intently at the tortured Xie Jiuxiao, muttering to himself, "So this is the path you’ve chosen for yourself, fighting for the slim chance of survival is better than dying in the cold palace. Xie Jiuxiao, you really are too desperate."
"Quick, protect the Prince!" Watching Xie Jiuxiao struggling to hold on, Mr. Dongfang flew out several talismans, sticking them onto his body, determined to protect his heart and soul.
Yu Nianzhao sighed softly, drawing a Soul Stabilizing Talisman in the air and pressing it into Xie Jiuxiao’s forehead.
In those dull, painful eyes, reflecting Yu Nianzhao’s image with the talisman’s glow, Xie Jiuxiao suddenly passed out completely, falling onto the sacrificial altar.
The fierce wind stopped, the dark sky broke through the clouds.
The forr emperor exclaid excitedly, "Has it succeeded?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the evil spirits entwined with the dragon’s aura have been refined into Evil Qi, forming the Taiyin Jiu Daosha, commonly known as Taiyin Evil, all sealed within this prince’s body. The national fortune is smooth for now." Mr. Dongfang finally breathed a sigh of relief, the task was finally accomplished.
If the task failed, the Dongfang family’s lives would be over.
"Good! That’s wonderful!" The forr emperor’s joyful laughter echoed across the entire sacrificial altar.
Where Yu Nianzhao stood, it was littered with the corpses and ashes of princes, yet the forr emperor showed not a trace of pity.
The scene turned dark, and when they opened their eyes, they were already in the main hall.
Awakening, Xie Jiuxiao received rewards, and opened his eyes with one wish, "I want my brother to beco the Crown Prince!"
The forr emperor paused, stroked his beard, and looked at Xie Jiuxiao aningfully, "Your wish is for your brother? You don’t wish to be the Crown Prince yourself?"
"My body can’t be the Crown Prince! My brother and mother are my family, their well-being is my peace." The young Xie Jiuxiao spoke with composure, word by word.
"Fine, I will proclaim your brother as the Crown Prince, I keep my word!" The forr emperor looked at him for a long ti, then suddenly laughed heartily, making it a done deal with a flourish.
Emperor Anqing looked moved, glanced at Xie Jiuxiao, and accepted the reward.
"No wonder the emperor dotes on you so much, you risked your life for him." Yu Nianzhao stood silently beside Xie Jiuxiao, witnessing the scene.
As the rewards ceremony ended, Yu Nianzhao involuntarily followed Xie Jiuxiao out of the hall, returning to his new palace.
Upon entering the room, Xie Jiuxiao fell to the ground in pain, as if being cut by a thousand blades, enduring without making a sound, biting his lips until they bled.
"Tsk, it’s truly pitiful, Taiyin Evil is no good thing, refined from so many evil spirits, it’s life-threatening. You managed to withstand it for decades, that’s real endurance!"
Yu Nianzhao squatted beside him, unable to bear it any longer, even within the dream, she drew a Soul Calming Talisman, pressing it onto his forehead to ease his pain.
The talisman’s effects worked quickly, Xie Jiuxiao exhaled a breath, his pain significantly reduced, seeing him recuperate, Yu Nianzhao was about to withdraw her hand, when suddenly, her wrist was grabbed.
Yu Nianzhao looked over in surprise, eting Xie Jiuxiao’s gaze, he asked, "Are you a fairy?"
Yu Nianzhao was bewildered, then she mischievously replied, "You think I’m a fairy?"
"Yes, after you touched , I didn’t feel pain anymore, what else could you be?" Xie Jiuxiao sat up, his young face already showing the future stern deanor.
"Right, you said it, I’m a fairy indeed."
Yu Nianzhao stood up with hands on hips, "From now on, call Sister Fairy."
Hahaha, taking advantage of Xie Jiuxiao’s youth, bullying him a bit is irresistible.
"Sister Fairy?" Xie Jiuxiao slightly frowned, willing to call her so, but felt sothing strange from her expression.
"Good!" Yu Nianzhao patted his head, "The Taiyin Evil within you, there are nine paths, trapped inside your body, serving as their prison. You must be cautious, you’re coexisting with them now, learn to control Taiyin Evil, don’t let it control you. When it hurts, recite silently, ’I am stronger, I am the main controller, you all must listen to ,’ that’s the only way to restrain them, understand?"
Xie Jiuxiao half-understood, "Okay, I’ll rember."
"And you? Why did you suddenly appear here? Were you sent by heaven to help ?" Xie Jiuxiao looked up at her, his eyes not yet clouded as they would be after growing up, still harboring hope.
"Uh... not exactly. Actually, Sister Fairy is from the future, we et when you grow up." Yu Nianzhao scratched her head, realizing deception wouldn’t work.
The urgent task is to leave the dream quickly.
"The future?" Xie Jiuxiao’s eyes dimd, "Do I still have a future?"
"Of course! You will be the famous Prince Su in the future, young man, have confidence in yourself!"
Yu Nianzhao grabbed Xie Jiuxiao’s hand, eagerly saying, "The most important thing now is to follow , we need to leave here."
"Where are we going?"
"Back to reality!"
As Yu Nianzhao was about to take Xie Jiuxiao to find the exit from the dream, the scene darkened again, when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing under a peach blossom tree, with a pavilion not far away filled with various n and won, all looking at her with surprise, even more shocked at their held hands.
"Can you see now?" Yu Nianzhao realized the dream’s change, since Xie Jiuxiao noticed her, others in the dream could also see her.
"We’ve always seen you." The low voice sounded at her ear, Yu Nianzhao looked up to see the youthful Xie Jiuxiao, with a cold and aloof handso face.
