The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 55 Breakup
"One of them is here,"

The Nine-headed Insect pointed at the neck, but strangely, that place was white and smooth, and the immortal body was as bright and smooth as jade. Not to mention a wound, there was not even a trace of it.

But Princess Halloween knew what the Hydra was talking about. On his forehead, in the headband he was wearing, eight of the nine snake heads were wriggling faintly, and only the one on the far left was motionless. Although it looked lifelike, when compared with the other eight, it was immediately clear that it was a dead thing.

The Nine-Headed Insect is a descendant of the Nine Phoenixes, born with nine heads, each of which represents a 'life.'

And in the North Sea, he lost his life.

"Brother Jiutou, please listen to my explanation..."

Princess Halloween's expression had become extremely ugly.

"explain?"

"Explain what?"

"Explain how you became the Crown Princess of the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon?"

With every word the Nine-Headed Insect spoke, the smile on his face faded a little. After he finished three sentences, there was no trace of smile on his face anymore, as if it was covered with frost. The eight living snake heads on his forehead looked ferocious and ready to bite.

"Brother Jiu Tou..."

"Don't call me that."

The Hydra interrupted.

Princess Halloween closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. The expression on her face had returned to the way it was when she first arrived.

"Nine heads."

Princess Halloween called out. Having said this, she calmed down completely. She did not try to explain anymore, but admitted it directly.

"Since you already know it, there is no need for me to say more."

"Yes, this time when I entered the West Sea, I was personally chosen by the Dragon King of the West Sea to be the principal wife of the Third Prince of the Dragon Sea. Now I am ready to marry. I came to see you today without intending to hide anything, but thinking about the past, things must be resolved."

There was a gleam of fairy light in Princess Halloween's hands, and she pinched out a linen bag.

"Just as you said, you have given me a lot over the years. Now that we are no longer together, I will not covet your things. This bag contains most of my assets in Bibotan, which should be enough to offset the value of the things you gave me. I will return them to you as compensation."

Princess Halloween extended the hand that was holding her pocket.

"Princess Yin...Princess... " This time, it was the Nine-headed Insect whose expression changed drastically. He seemed to be in a state of confusion and said in disbelief, "You...is this what you want to say to me?"

"if not?"

Princess Halloween raised the bag high. When she was in the treasury before, she was reluctant to leave. But now, there was no hesitation in her eyes, and she was even glad that she took more.

"I have inquired about it. The position of Crown Princess was not something you sought for yourself. It was arranged by the Dragon King of the West Sea himself. You cannot resist it, right, Princess?"

The Nine-headed Insect looked at Princess Halloween and changed his address. The "Princess" he called her was the same address he used when he first met Princess Halloween. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he was seeking comfort, but also as if he was deceiving himself.

"Princess, as long as you tell me that you are not doing this voluntarily, I will still believe you. Although the West Sea is powerful, I am not completely without foundation. You know, I was born in the North Sea, and I have clansmen behind me. Many great saints have watched me grow up, and the Demon Master is even more powerful. We can work together to find a solution. If it doesn't work, we can escape to the North Sea together. With the protection of the Demon Master, I believe the West Sea won't dare to do anything..."

Princess Halloween listened, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

Jiu Tou Chong raised the tone so high at the beginning that made her a little worried, but she didn't expect it to be like this now. She had already said so much, but he was still pestering her.

North Sea?

They are just some remnants of the ancient demon court, huddled together for warmth, and seem to still have some life, but in fact they are like candles in the wind, already dying.

Yes.

The demon master is indeed very powerful.

But in the final analysis, it is difficult to carry the whole thing alone.

Heaven is the correct path.

The position of the Third Princess of the Dragon Palace in the West Sea can be canonized by the Heavenly Court, and it is a dignified third-rank divine position. I don’t know how many fairies want it but cannot get it. Marriage is about profit.

She and her father worked hard for so long and finally got this honorable position.

How dare this nine-headed monster say that? He actually asked her to give up her position as the Dragon Palace Princess and go into exile with him to the North Sea.

Princess Halloween looked the Nine-headed Insect up and down for a while.

He seemed quite smart before, and had extraordinary magical powers, but how come he is so naive? I don’t know how he cultivated himself to become a demon king.

The Nine-Headed Insect stretched out his hands, wanting to hold Princess Halloween's empty left hand.

But Princess Halloween let him pass.

"Princess, you..."

The Nine-Headed Insect was struck by lightning and its body froze in place.

"You don't want to?"

"Jiutou, I am sorry for you."

Princess Halloween nodded, as if she suddenly remembered something. Looking at the Nine-Headed Insect's hand that was still half stretched out in the air, she simply grabbed the bag and put it into his palm.

The nine-headed monster's hand dropped weakly.

Princess Halloween simply placed the bag directly on the stone table in front of the Nine-Headed Insect.

"You should accept these things. You did give a lot for me before, and I am very grateful, but... it is indeed over between you and me."

Princess Halloween said.

"Thank...thank..."

The Nine-Headed Insect murmured and raised his voice a little.

"Just gratitude?"

“Just grateful.”

Princess Halloween nodded, she just wanted it to be over quickly.

Her original idea was that she would act reluctant to leave so that the Nine-Headed Insect would reject her, and then she would offer the treasure and break up peacefully. In this way, they would part ways and the Nine-Headed Insect would have no reason to cause trouble for her later.

But who would have thought that this nine-headed monster would be so...

The development of the situation actually went in the opposite direction.

"These things are enough to make up for what you have paid for me." Princess Halloween looked at the Nine-headed Insect seriously and said, "You are very good. You will definitely meet someone better than me in the future."

The nine-headed monster closed his eyes.

After a moment, the Nine-headed Insect opened his eyes. After all, he was the demon king, and he had regained his sanity, at least it seemed so.

"There are too many of these things."

The Nine-Headed Insect stretched out his hand and grabbed the bag. With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw treasures as numerous as mountains and seas. Although no single one of them could surpass the two he gave, such a large number was enough to make up for it, and it could even be said that it slightly exceeded the amount.

See that the Nine-Headed Insect finally became normal.

Princess Halloween secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I originally wanted to return the original items, but I have already used those two things, so naturally I can't give them back. I had to piece together some, the more the better, so that I can make up for it. You have been wronged in the first place, and it's not good to let you suffer a loss here."

Princess Halloween laughed.
