Chapter 194 She Doesn't Covet a Demonic Beast's Soul Mark
Sang Luo had just arrived at a demonic city when she was entangled by a giant, nine-headed demonic lizard.
A difficult battle ensued.
This demonic beast was actually at the Emperor-rank!
She was self-aware enough to know she couldn't win, so escape was the best option!
Nine long tongues shot out, wrapping around her entire body, quickly dragging her into its belly.
A tall, black-robed figure appeared in the void.
A demonic bow materialized in his hand, and he shot an arrow at the demonic lizard.
The force constricting her body suddenly loosened, and just as Sang Luo was about to fall, a slender hand steadily caught her, pulling her into his embrace, and flew her to a safe place.
He didn't let go of her for a long time.
Sang Luo looked at the newcomer in astonishment. He was draped in a completely black cloak, and his face was covered with a mask, revealing only a section of porcelain-white, delicate chin.
"You shouldn't have come here."
His voice was hoarse and raspy, making it impossible to tell his gender or age.
"Who are you?"
"An insignificant nobody."
Sang Luo stared at him for a long while, then suddenly smiled, her soft fingers tugging at his tightly fastened collar, "Do you know? Every time I get close to you, you emit this kind of—"
She enunciated each word slowly,
"Lustful, alluring fragrance."
The man's body suddenly tensed. Sang Luo removed his mask, revealing that clear, exquisite face, his features as if painted, his eyelashes long and slender, and his captivating purple eyes were especially soul-stirring.
How much she had loved those eyes back then, was how much she loathed them now!
He flashed a look of panic, "Sang Sang…"
"Don't call me that! You're not worthy to call me that name. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Sang Luo was filled with disappointment and indifference, "Caesar, I never thought you would degenerate into a demonic beast. Are you just planning to live with this group of disgusting demonic beasts, never to return! Is that so?"
He gazed deeply at her, as if he had a thousand words to say, "…You were targeted by the demonic envoy long ago. The road ahead is fraught with danger. You can't leave the Void Demon Realm alive with your strength alone. I can take you away."
"Of course, I want to leave this broken place, but before I leave, the Eye of Guixu must also be closed! We must never let the demonic beasts set foot in the Beast World and do evil!"
"The return of demonic beasts to the Beast World is a foregone conclusion, and you alone cannot stop it. If, you are willing to follow me, I can protect you and your child, ensuring your safety and well-being."
"Do you know how disgusted I feel when you say those words? I feel like throwing up just thinking about you being a demonic beast!"
"…You find demonic beasts disgusting, so you hate me?"
"No, it's not hate."
Sang Luo's lips approached his ear, "It's resentment."
A dagger pierced his chest.
Quan Jin lowered his head in stunned silence.
Suddenly, he laughed,
"So, you don't want me to live."
Taking advantage of his lapse in guard, Sang Luo pulled out the blade, broke free from his restraint, and retreated several meters, forming a confrontational stance with him, "I would rather you didn't come back. It would have been better if Doto Alance had killed me back then, so as not to defile my Caesar!"
As soon as she said that, Sang Luo regretted it. If he hadn't come back, Xiao Qi wouldn't be alive.
But, the words had been spoken, and there was no way to take them back.
Sang Luo pursed her lips tightly, ignored him, and continued to walk forward.
Quan Jin looked at the wound on his chest slowly healing. He didn't follow her.
"What you hope for is right. I have already died once. This body is no longer the same as before."
"…"
"Caesar was just a false identity from my past. You can call me by my current name, my real name, Quan Jin."
His voice gradually turned cold.
Sang Luo's heart was stabbed fiercely by the "false identity" in his mouth. What did he mean? The identity was fake, so everything he had shared with her in the past was, in his eyes, fake, past events that didn't need to be mentioned?
"If you want to sever our past relationship, I have no objections, but if you still recognize me as your son's mother, tell me where is the Gate to the Realms?"
"Want to know?" He followed.
Wasn't that nonsense? Sang Luo really wanted to curse him. As soon as she turned around, Quan Jin suddenly pulled her into his arms, carried her to the palace, threw her on the bed, and pinned her down.
"What do you want to do!"
Sang Luo looked terrified, trying to push him away. He easily restrained her two wrists with one large hand, pressing them above her head, and pinched her waist with the other, lowering his head to kiss her recklessly and fiercely.
He instinctively and skillfully pried open her lips, his tongue twining with hers.
Sang Luo's face was flushed red, almost suffocated by his kiss, her legs were weak…
A trace of strangeness arose in her heart again. She knew that he was a snake beast, and his body temperature was lower than that of ordinary beastmen, but when he kissed her before, his lips were cool, even hotter and softer than hers when he was moved, but at this time, his lips had no warmth at all, like a cold, hard stone!
Angry, Sang Luo couldn't think too much, and bit his tongue hard.
Quan Jin groaned, but didn't let go of her.
The bloody taste in her mouth receded.
He tore open her clothes again, following the corner of her lips, down her porcelain-white, delicate skin, past her neck and collarbone, and kissed her chest…
"Ugh!"
Sang Luo raised her head and let out a cry of pain. He! Bit her!
Sang Luo grimaced in pain, suddenly pushed him away, and struck again with her sword.
"Rakshasa City."
Quan Jin's figure disappeared instantly, and she slashed at thin air.
The sword in her hand fell to the ground. Sang Luo's chest rose and fell sharply, obviously not lightly angered. She touched the wetness on her face. The bloodstains spread all the way to her chest, appearing even more vivid and glaring on her porcelain skin…
He had branded another soul mark at the original location on her left chest…
Did he think she coveted a demonic beast's soul mark!
Sang Luo immediately wanted to remove the mark, but her hand trembled, and she never slashed it open.
She looked at the purple little snake's soul mark biting its tail, her eyes slowly blurred. It was exactly the same as the mark from back then, and also her first soul mark. She hadn't seen it for several years, and now it had returned to her body… Her old love with Caesar, she couldn't bring herself to do it…
Forget it, let it be, Sang Luo concealed the soul mark.
She was about to rush to Rakshasa City.
She was blocked back by the barrier outside the palace.
Quan Jin had left this move, wanting to lock her in the palace?
As expected, he wouldn't let her go so easily.
Sang Luo used the power of breaking through all things to leave.
Quan Jin returned with the child, and the palace was empty.
Xiao Qi, who had barely regained some energy, lowered his head again, "Daddy is lying, Mommy isn't here. Are you lying to me again, and arguing with Mommy again! Made Mommy angry!"
"…She ran away."
His face was ugly.
Did she not want to stay by his side that much?
…
Sang Luo didn't have a map of the Void Demon Realm, nor did she know the division of the various forces, but the further she went, the higher the level of the demonic beasts.
The demonic beasts she encountered on the way to Rakshasa City were all above the King-rank, and she even encountered three Emperor-rank demonic beasts, but before it was her turn to take action, they were resolved in advance.
Without thinking, she knew who had made the move.
The soul mark had been left behind, her itinerary was destined to be unable to hide from him.
Sang Luo didn't care, anyway, if he dared to catch her back again, she could still run away.
