Chapter 208: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 29
"By the way," Ling Xi asked, "Do you know how Qiongqi came out this time? I remember Qiongqi seemed to have been sealed before, right? How did it suddenly break through the seal and come out? Did you mention this when you were discussing things in Jiuxiaoyun Palace?"

This Qiongqi is definitely not that simple.

Runyu nodded slightly, with some doubt and puzzlement in his eyes: "How to break the seal is still unknown. I only know that this Qiongqi once caused chaos in the six realms a thousand years ago. Not only did it cause chaos in the Demon Realm, it also disturbed the tranquility of the Flower Realm. The Heaven Realm sent many powerful gods and it took a long time to capture it. After that, they invited Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun to seal it personally. I don't know why Qiongqi reappeared this time. This matter is really suspicious."

Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun!

Ling Xi was very sharp in hearing the key words, and it was just as she expected, it was the murderer hiding behind the scenes.

She didn't believe that a seal set by a Daluo Jinxian from Shangqingtian could be broken so easily by Qiongqi. It was impossible for no one to help him.

If Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun deliberately let Qiongqi go, this would make sense.

Ling Xi asked again: "Who did you arrange to capture Qiongqi?"

Runyu lowered his eyes and smiled, his gaze slowly falling on Ling Xi. When she couldn't wait to continue asking, he answered in a good mood and in time: "On the surface, it was Xufeng, and in secret, it was me. We acted together, one in the open and one in the dark, to capture Qiongqi. According to our guess, Qiongqi should be in the Demon Realm, so Xufeng and I both plan to go to the Demon Realm."

"I want to go too." Ling Xi actively raised his hand and tried his best to recommend himself.

She has never been to the demon world and doesn't know what it looks like.

Speaking of which, I have been in heaven for these years, and apart from frequently visiting the human world, I have hardly been to other places.

It's not bad to just treat this as going out for some fun.

Runyu's voice was gentle, but his words were full of teasing: "This world is so big, where can we stop Fairy Ling Xi?"

Ling Xi nodded: "That's right."

"Then let's go to the Demon Realm tomorrow." Ling Xi made the final decision.

On the second day, after packing the two small bags into the space, Ling Xi and Runyu set off for the Demon Realm.

To go to the demon world, one must cross a river, the Forgotten River.

There is only one way to cross the Forgotten River, and that is to take a small boat on the river.

By the Wangchuan River, Ling Xi and Run Yu stood side by side.

After waiting for nearly an hour, a small boat finally came slowly.

"Sir, do you want to be ferried?" Suddenly an old and hoarse voice was heard.

Hearing the voice, Ling Xi saw an old man with white hair and beard rowing a small boat. He must be the ferryman of the Wangchuan River.

"That's right, thank you for your help, old man." Runyu nodded slightly, politely.

With a sway, Runyu stepped onto the boat, stood on it, and then extended his hand to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi looked at the hand that was handed to him, and his heart moved. Naturally, he would not refuse. He took the hand and was pulled onto the boat by Runyu.

Runyu stood on the boat with his hands behind his back, while Lingxi sat down.

She looked down and saw a small boat swaying forward. There was no water under the boat, let alone a river. The water between the two banks was bottomless. Although there was no water, she could hear the sound of water hitting the bottom of the boat and feel the swaying of the waves. It was very strange. In the Wangchuan River, there were many lonely ghosts who had not been reincarnated. They either did not know how to reincarnate, or they had unfulfilled wishes and were unwilling to leave, so they could only stay in the Wangchuan River for a long time.

Over time, those wandering souls often ran around in the Forgotten River.

If someone accidentally falls into the Forgotten River, they will be torn into pieces by those wandering souls.

Therefore, this Forgetful River is not only a place to forget love, but also a place to lose life.

At this moment, Ling Xi felt someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw that it was the old man rowing the boat, who was staring at her intently.

Ling Xi didn't know what he meant, so she just smiled at him reservedly.

Runyu also noticed the old man's gaze and was about to speak, but the old man interrupted and said, "I have guarded this Wangchuan River for more than 100,000 years, and this is the second time I have seen such a beauty as this girl."

Ling Xi thought, this Wangchuan River is really deserted. Only two girls have been seen in more than ten thousand years.

"Thank you for the compliment, old man. How is the other girl?" Ling Xi asked.

At this age, the old man must have heard many stories, so Ling Xi looked at him expectantly, waiting for his next words.

The old man was not affected by anything and continued to speak to himself: "I still remember a woman who came here ten thousand years ago and asked me for a handful of water from the River of Oblivion. That woman was so beautiful that she walked with flowers. Her face was indeed beautiful but her expression was miserable, not as bright and innocent as you."

Step by step? Hearing this, Ling Xi had a few black lines on his head.

Among these six realms, isn’t the only one who can make flowers bloom at every step the former flower goddess Zifen?
If she remembered correctly, the Six Realms Records recorded that Zifen's true body was like a lotus petal in front of the Buddha. Therefore, when she walked, her posture was light and her body was as light as a swallow. Every step she took was like a lotus, and she looked radiant and beautiful.

"and after?"

Ling Xi asked with great interest, why did Zifen come to Wangchuan at this time? Could it be because of that scumbag, the Emperor of Heaven?

"Later? Later, a young man in brocade clothes chased after the shore and quickly knocked the water from the girl's hands onto the ground. After the two of them argued for a while, the girl actually jumped into the Forgetful River. The young man in brocade clothes got anxious and tried to stop the girl like crazy. After that, the two of them disappeared without a trace."

"Forget River, Forget River, when we forgot each other and looked back it has become a river." The old man shook his head and sighed.

The young man in brocade clothes must be the current Emperor of Heaven. If he was the God of Water, then the God of Flowers would not want to jump into the Forgetful River.

This dog emperor has let down the true hearts of so many women, yet it is strange that he can still sit safely on the throne of the emperor.

"Old man, I heard that the water of the Forgetful River can make people forget their love. Is this true?" Ling Xi asked doubtfully while looking at the deep Forgetful River.

Can I forget about my relationship by drinking a sip of the water here? Is it really that effective?
The old man rowed the oars and said meaningfully, "If you believe this, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. The water of the Forgetful River cannot make everything forgotten. If it is a truly unforgettable feeling, it must be unforgettable. Even if you forget it, you will remember it one day. Feelings that can be completely forgotten will not be too profound."

"People who come here to look for the water of the River of Oblivion want to forget nothing more than a painful relationship. Since it is a painful relationship, forgetting it is not a big deal."

"Miss, is there anything you want to forget?" the old man asked Ling Xi.

Ling Xi looked at the Wangchuan River, raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said: "I don't have any, I have always been a person who follows my heart, I don't take emotional matters too seriously, and I never cause trouble for myself."

The old man looked at Ling Xi for a while, then smiled with satisfaction: "Miss, this idea is very good. People who live casually are usually not too miserable."

Ling Xi: "Thank you very much, old man."
