The hideous and distorted face of the Death Ghost suddenly froze, and his figure began to shrink rapidly. The tin staff, warrior armor, and ferocious expression were all forcibly compressed.
In the blink of an eye, the controller of the underworld who was feared by countless monsters turned into a dark purple bead, floating quietly in Douya's palm.
The bead was only the size of a thumb, with strange black and purple lines flowing on its surface. One could vaguely see the terrified face of the Death Ghost twisting and struggling inside.
Tieji's throat rolled and he swallowed hard.
He witnessed with his own eyes a great demon being manipulated like a marble toy, and the Lord of the Royal Court downplayed the situation from beginning to end.
(The Death God Ghost is powerless to resist, and the same will happen to me.)
This thought pierced Tieji's heart like ice, causing her to unconsciously clutch the hem of her feathered robe.
The Flame Bird Queen, who once looked down upon all the monsters, now truly felt what "the difference between heaven and earth" meant.
She lowered her eyes, deeply suppressing her innate pride, and when she raised her eyes again, there was only pure respect in them.
"Your Excellency is almighty."
Tieji's voice was so gentle that it didn't seem like her own. She knelt on one knee, and her wings burning with blue flames obediently folded behind her.
The dark bead in Douya King's palm was still trembling slightly, as if the ghost of death was struggling, but it made her delicate face flicker.
Dou Ya threw the Mingzhu into the devouring space, and when he turned to look at Tieji, the indifference in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the gentleness of a spring breeze.
"You are the mother of Abhidharma's child, and I am his adoptive father. There is no need for us to be so estranged. Get up."
Hearing this, Tieji didn't know what he was thinking about, his face turned red, and then returned to normal in an instant.
She stood up and bowed gracefully, "Thank you, King Douya, for saving me. If you hadn't come to my aid in time, I'm afraid I would have died."
"The Flame Bird Clan will never forget this kindness."
The breeze blew by, lifting a strand of black hair from her temples, adding a touch of softness to her domineering face that looked like a Korean comic lady.
Douya's gaze lingered on her for a moment, almost seeing through Tieji's thoughts—
The awe of powerful strength, the gratitude for saving his life, and even some more secret feelings of admiring the strong, are all visible in his eyes.
"It's just a small favor." Douya raised the corner of his lips slightly, his tone gentle but not without dignity.
"The Death Ghost attacked and killed people from the royal court in Yuanzhou, which is a capital crime in itself."
"Now that everything is over, you can spend more time with Abhi in the royal court. That child will be Seshomaru's adopted sister in the future."
Dou Ya casually cut open the space, and the space rift slowly unfolded in front of them, revealing a corner of the royal palace.
Just as he was about to step in, he suddenly lowered his voice and spoke softly to Tieji.
"It would be great if our two families could become closer."
Tieji's heart started pounding when he heard that.
She wasn't sure whether Douya Wang was referring to her or Abhi.
"The adults are joking..."
Tieji tried hard to maintain a dignified demeanor, slightly tilting his head to reveal the graceful lines of his neck, and spoke in a firm voice.
"It's best to let children make their own decisions about their relationships. I only wish that Abhi can get what he wants and live in peace and happiness."
"happiness?"
Douya chuckled softly. He didn't say anything else, but just walked calmly into the space passage, his silver hair fluttering behind him.
The iron chicken is not important to him.
To him, it was just a small episode in his long life——
If you can conquer this proud queen of wives, it will be the icing on the cake.
If not, it would just be one less romantic affair.
Tieji stared at Douya's back, stroked his hot cheek, shook his head in self-mockery, and the sharpness that had been deliberately restrained just now condensed in his eyes again, and followed him.
After passing through the space channel, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.
The warm sunshine for several days melted the snow in the City of Mountain Teeth, and the afternoon sun gave the entire city a golden edge.
The streets and markets of East City are bustling with people, and various signs sway gently in the breeze, with the aroma of food wafting in the air.
Outside the large warehouse in South City, soldiers in iron armor were patrolling in formation, their weapons flashing coldly in the sunlight.
The flames in the West City forge were soaring into the sky, and the sound of blacksmithing was endless.
At the North City training ground, the shouts of the young warriors shook the earth.
Above this vibrant scene, the castle tower of the central inner city stands majestically.
The vermilion columns and snow-white walls complement each other in the setting sun, like a god overlooking all living beings.
Tieji, who came here for the first time, followed Douya Wang silently.
As he climbed the stairs together, he inexplicably felt that this was the center of the real power in the world.
(It should be said that where this man is is the center of the world.)
Tieji's eyes were slightly dazed, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to Abhi's biological father.
The Flame Bird, unable to tolerate her strong character and intimidated by her sharpness, chose to leave in anger.
Now that I think about it, I can see the figure of the man who wanted to prove that he could also become a great monster and take back the throne of Flame Bird from me.
It has become blurred in my memory, and even life and death have become irrelevant mysteries.
Only those memories of extreme joy are still lingering in my heart.
Tieji unconsciously touched his chest, where unprecedented complex emotions were surging - contempt for the weak, mixed with yearning for the truly strong.
The vermilion gate of the castle tower slowly opened before her eyes. She gathered her thoughts and followed Toga King in with her head held high.
The candlelight in the hall was bright, stretching her shadow very long, like a phoenix that finally found its home nest.
Inside the hall, a petite girl held in the arms of Fairy Lingyue's eyes lit up when she saw the visitor and shouted in surprise.
"Mother!"
Chapter 194 Searching for the Tree of Time
Unlike human cubs, pure-blooded monsters, especially those with strong bloodlines, are equivalent to two or three human years old when they are two or three months old.
A pure-blooded monster at the age of twelve can be considered an adult in humans, and in the years that follow, even after hundreds or even thousands of years, it is possible to maintain youth.
Therefore, with the strength of the big monsters "Laoganma", there is absolutely no problem in saying that they are always seventeen years old.
It can be said to be tender and ripe.
The only thing worth mentioning about simple humans is their growth rate. Take Cuizi as an example. When she was still in her prime, she could beat up monsters that were hundreds of years old.
The powerful growth and shaping capabilities are difficult for monsters that rely on blood to achieve.
But their pitiful lifespan often leads people astray and become monsters.
Demons and monsters can never be completely killed.
"Mother, Abhi is here~"
The delicate and graceful Abhi was wearing a scarlet dress embroidered with flame patterns, with her black hair tied into cute twin ponytails. Her childish voice was full of joy.
Without waiting for Tieji to respond, the little guy jumped lightly from Lingyue Fairy's lap.
Like a young phoenix learning to fly, it staggered into its mother's arms.
"Mother, Abhi misses you~"
The little girl skillfully climbed up Tieji's arm, pouted her pink little mouth and kissed her mother on the cheek, then raised her head and asked.
"Mother, do you miss Abhi?"
Tieji's cold and elegant face softened instantly, and she returned the kiss, "Mother misses Abhi too~"
Her palm stroked her daughter's soft hair, and Abhi immediately rubbed against her mother's palm like a spoiled kitten, completely unlike her usual active self in the royal court.
(This is... my blood.)
She lowered her eyes and gazed into her daughter's bright red eyes, which were exactly the same as her own, filled with pure admiration.
At this moment, the majesty of the Flame Bird Queen and the yearning for the strong all turned into a heart full of maternal love.
Ling Yue slowly stood up from the couch, looked at the interaction between mother and daughter, gently touched her pregnant belly, and a gentle smile played on the corners of her lips.
Abhi was a very confident and proud child. Even in the unfamiliar royal court, he did not show any fear.
After a few days, he almost became a big crab in the royal court - walking sideways.
"When spring comes and flowers bloom, Seshomaru will be born. The royal court will surely be even more lively by then."
Dou Yahui sat next to Ling Yue, held his wife's hand in his palm with his fingers interlocked, and with a little force, he pulled her into his arms, biting her ear and whispering something.
"Don't make trouble..."
Ling Yue was slightly annoyed, but saw Dou Ya leaning over and whispering in her ear.
A warm breath brushed past the tip of her ear, and she said something that made the usually calm fairy's ears turn red.
She pinched the soft flesh on her husband's waist in embarrassment and anger. When Douya let go in pain, she stood up and left with a red face.
Dou Ya rubbed his waist, and after briefly explaining to Tie Ji the affairs of governing Su Qing, a smile flashed in his golden eyes, and he quickly chased after him.
From a distance, Ling Yue could still be heard scolding him with shame, "You... what nonsense are you talking about in front of the children~"
Tieji couldn't help laughing. The Abi in his arms tilted his head and asked in a baby voice.
"Mother, why is Ling Yue's stepmother blushing?"
"This..."
Tieji chuckled and pinched his daughter's nose. "You'll understand when you grow up."
As he said this, he held his daughter in his arms and walked towards the official residence of Zhi Suqing in the inner city.
Halfway through the journey, Abhi pulled the iron chicken to the East City Market and started strolling around the streets.
Listening to his daughter's joyful voice and looking at the bustling city where hundreds of races gathered, Tieji's attachment to the Fire Nation faded a lot.
"Try it, mother!"
