Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 473 Death and Life

new world……

Even Ji Anni herself could not accurately define the meaning of these four words.

I used to think that monsters were scary, but after getting to know Yan Niang, Xiao Xue and Xue Lan, I gradually changed my mind.

They are as affectionate as humans, or even more so than humans.

Concubine Gan and Xiaoxue are the best examples that humans and demons can become friends who trust their lives to each other.

The so-called different paths for humans and demons is actually just a prejudice caused by racial differences.

The reason why Xue Lan died was because humans did not understand monsters and thus instinctively rejected them.

The reason why Concubine Gan was hated by her biological parents was because of human fear of unknown forces.

The reason why Xiaoxue’s tragic death had no place for redress was because monsters were just a nuisance in the eyes of humans, and their lives were not worth mentioning.

"If in the future world, humans no longer fear monsters, and monsters no longer harm humans. If monsters kill people, there are special monster hunters to arrest them and special courts to try them; if humans kill monsters, they should also be punished."

The words flowed between the two people's hearts like a trickle of clear spring water.

Xue Lan's heart, which had been immersed in long-lasting pain and gradually turned cold, seemed to be washed away by the spring water and came back to life. Her eyes gradually softened, with a bit of longing and yearning.

Ji Anni continued, "Yanniang once told me that a hundred years ago, you wanted to atone your sins with death, to use your life to pay for the sins you committed... and you also said that if 'life for life' is the rule of the human world, then you are willing to abide by this rule and die for that rule, because that will make you feel like a real human being..."

These words brought back Xue Lan's painful memories.

The despair before death and the inseparable feelings for Taizu and her children once again filled her heart.

Ji Anni was like a possessed person, she kept talking: "What is the difference between humans and monsters? Is it the difference in ability, or the difference in bloodline? But these differences still exist among humans. When monsters live in the same streets and cities as humans, enjoy the same life, and are bound by the same laws, how different are monsters from humans? People are afraid of monsters harming people, but don't humans often commit murder? When people commit crimes, there are laws to punish them, but when monsters commit crimes, there is no one to manage them. This is why humans are afraid of monsters and monsters do evil. If in the future world, humans and monsters are no longer afraid of each other, no longer hate each other... isn't that what you wish for?"

If there was a world where monsters could express their feelings to humans without restraint.

She doesn't need to worry about humans being afraid of her or staying away from her, nor does she need to worry about the world's eyes...

Then my love affair wouldn't end in such a tragic ending.

A layer of mist appeared in Xue Lan's eyes. The shock brought by the slender and tiny girl in front of her seemed to wake her up from her stupor and make her think about questions she had never thought about before.

"Fox Demon Queen..." Seeing that she was lost in thought and seemed unable to hear what she said, Ji Anni couldn't help but call out to her.

Xue Lan raised her head, stared into Ji Anni's sparkling eyes, and asked solemnly: "Girl, are you serious?"

Ji Annie nodded heavily, her chest heaving.

A gentle smile gradually emerged on Xue Lan's cold face. She sighed softly, "If only you had appeared earlier... If the world you described could really be built, there wouldn't be so many tragedies of human-demon love in the world, but can you really do it?"

It is not an easy task to change the prejudices of humans against monsters and monsters against humans and to reshape the world.

Ji Anni knew this very well and did not dare to make any rash promises. She only said, "Although my power is weak, I will do my best."

Maybe I couldn't do it before, but now I am the descendant of the fox demon, the bride of the ghost king, the favorite concubine of the emperor, and the mother of Prince Ming. With these identities, maybe I can really create some miracles in this world.

Xue Lan asked again: "Even if you can revive the Ghost King, will you complete the world you mentioned at all costs?"

Ji Anni nodded: "The Ghost King's feelings for you make me believe that there is also humanity in his demonic nature. He is definitely not a cruel and heartless monster, otherwise he should have destroyed the Tianyou Holy Dynasty a hundred years ago instead of fulfilling your love."

Xue Lan did not deny this, but she was still very worried.

"Can you control the powerful ghost king? His power is definitely stronger than you think."

"Although everything seems hopeless, whether it's convincing the demon king not to retaliate against humans, or convincing humans to accept monsters... I don't know if I can succeed, but I am willing to use the life you gave me and exhaust it to fulfill my promise to you."

Even though it was just a slim hope, it was attractive enough to make Xue Lan tempted.

She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and thought quietly in absolute silence.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally opened her eyes.

"Girl, although your body is so small, I can see your strong heart."

For thousands of years, no one, no demon, has ever thought of changing the world.

Humans' fear of monsters, and monsters' hatred of humans, seem to have become the norm of this world.

No one wants to change it...

So they watched tragedies and massacres happen, and fell into a tragic love like a moth to a flame even though they knew there would be no ending.

Even so, no one has ever wanted to change this.

Xue Lan's body floating in the air slowly descended and finally landed in front of Ji Anni.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Ji Anni's face, which was slightly similar to his own. Through the faint tears, he looked at her determined eyes.

"I like the look in your eyes, which are stubborn and strong, clear and sincere. I am willing to believe in someone with such eyes, and place my future and dreams on you. Girl, you have convinced me, and I am willing to give you my power and bring you back to life."

After saying that, Xue Lan's body gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a firefly-like light spot, disappearing in front of Ji Anni.

Xue Lan's last expression of smiling through tears made Ji Anni's heart ache as if it was being cut by a knife.

The white world around her began to dissipate, and Ji Anni's own body became transparent.

A warm force was injected into her heart, and the blood in her body seemed to boil, rushing wildly through her limbs.

Is this Xue Lan's demonic power...

Ji Anni closed her eyes and used her heart to feel the warmth of Xue Lan slowly merging into her.

A new life is about to be born.

This life, born with promise, will come back to the world with a glimmer of hope.

The guards who were digging a hole where Ji Anni's body was located suddenly panicked.

"It's glowing, it's glowing, her body is glowing!" the guards shouted and fled in all directions.

Liuguang, Kang Qingyuan and Xuanjizi, who were not far away, rushed over after hearing the news.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Ji Annie's body emitting white light.

But compared to the guards who fled, their reaction was much calmer.

Kang Qingyuan said to Liuguang, "This monster is really hard to deal with. It looks like she is about to be resurrected. We must kill her completely before she is fully resurrected."

Liuguang asked Xuanjizi, the only person present who knew the art of subduing demons, "How can you kill her?"

Xuanjizi was young and weak, and had never encountered such a situation before. He felt a little flustered and stammered, unable to speak.

Seeing that he had no idea, Liuguang simply took action himself and drew his sword to stab Ji Anni in the heart.

With a "clang" sound, the sword blade broke and split into two pieces.

"What?" Kang Qingyuan's face changed drastically and he subconsciously took a half step back.

Liuguang was calm and composed, his feet didn't move at all, he threw the broken sword aside as if nothing had happened, and laughed at himself: "This monster, is it actually invulnerable to swords and guns?"

As she spoke, a white bead slowly emerged from Ji Annie's heart.

It turned out that the white light around Ji Annie was emitted by this bead.

At the location where the bead was, Ji Annie's body seemed to have become translucent, and her skin and internal organs could be vaguely seen in the strong light.

It seems that the function of this bead is to repair the wound in Ji Anni's heart and embed itself into her body to bring her new life.

At this time, Xuanjizi came back to his senses and said in a panic: "Fox beads, this must be fox beads..."

When they heard the word "fox beads", Liuguang and Kang Qingyuan both thought of the legend of the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

"Could this be the fox bead that is suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Shrine?" Liuguang narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully identified the shape of the fox bead in the strong light.

Xuanjizi trembled and said, "I can feel that the fox bead is merging into her body, and her strength is gradually recovering. This power is too strong. If she really awakens, none of us can match her."

The evil aura emitted from the fox bead almost made Xuanjizi breathless.

Since he started practicing Taoism, he has never encountered such a powerful monster.

"Surround her first. I don't believe we can't kill her." Liuguang decisively ordered the guards around him, "Immediately mobilize two hundred imperial guards to come over and see if she can hold us back!"

Then he turned to Xuanjizi and said, "While she has not yet fully awakened, we must seal her on the spot, otherwise I will use your head as a sacrifice to the heavens."

Currently, the only person in the palace who knows how to subdue demons is Xuanjizi, and there is no other way except relying on his power.

Xuanjizi responded tremblingly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took out a stack of talismans and threw them at Ji Anni's body.

The spells dispersed immediately after leaving the hand, floating in the air, forming a circular pattern. Between the spells, several red rays of light were connected, forming a strange pattern.

Under the suppression of the red-light curse seal, the white light gradually weakened.

Just when Liuguang and Kang Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Anni's body suddenly moved.

As if trying to break free from the red curse, he gently moved his body, but his eyes never opened.
