Chapter 55: The Promise with Demon King Xie Ci (3)
The snowflakes flew back to their original place, stopping on the surface of the lake and gazing at the reflection of their image in the water: inside, a head full of light blue hair, a beautiful face with a look of sorrow, next to which a snow-white pearl and a fiery red gemstone were fluttering around her. The snowflake looked up at the gemstone and pearl that had been flying beside her, smiled, and stretched out her hand. The fiery red gemstone turned into a fire-red ring on her ring finger, and the white pearl became a small pendant hanging from her neck. The snowflake turned to face the four divine beasts and said: "Four divine beasts, listen to my command! As the first princess of the heavenly realm, I order you to transform immediately. We must fight..."
The four divine beasts were excited, and the Golden Phoenix flapped its wings. The Blue Dragon shook its tail. The White Tiger let out a roar towards the sky. The Fire Qilin shot fire into the air above the lake. They took up their positions as if declaring war, then snowflakes flew into mid-air: The Golden Phoenix slowly transformed into a small golden ring, and the White Tiger turned into a white ring that followed the golden ring to Snow's feet, adorning her ankles. The Blue Dragon and Fire Qilin did the same, except they transformed into blue and red rings like bracelets on Snow's hands. Snow's attire also underwent a gradual change, with her light blue hair turning deep blue, then she said to herself: "Get ready to depart, Feng Huang, Bai Hu, take me to the Demon Cave——".
Fei Xue's feet emitted a golden and white glow, and then the two beams of light took Fei Xue flying out of the forest. They flew towards the western sky. After she disappeared beyond the horizon, four figures appeared in the forest. They were... none other than the Four Great Heavenly Gods of the Fire God. The Fire God was holding hands with a stunning beauty with golden curly hair all over her body. Next to the golden beauty was a straight-haired beauty wearing a light blue dress. Although different from the golden beauty, this beauty was also exceptionally beautiful, her beauty making one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her delicate elegance. Beside them was a handsome man wearing a dark green outfit. The four of them smiled as they watched Fei Xue leave, but Fei Xue did not know that someone was seeing her off.
Fei Xue, who was always off-screen, looked at the four handsome men and beautiful women who suddenly appeared now with a questioning face. The image of Fei Xue next to her said: "The four of them are the original appearance of the Four Great Heavenly Gods." So the Water God is a woman!
Fei Xue was taken by the four great divine beasts to the Demon's Cave, and now she has arrived at the entrance. A cliff that constantly spewed out black light, like a volcanic crater, must have countless demons inside. "Feng Huang, Bai Hu, go in." The golden and white lights carried Fei Xue into the volcano-like entrance, until she was engulfed by the black light. At that moment, on the edge of the cliff appeared the various heavenly gods who had gone to ask Fei Xue to confront the Demon King earlier. The monk with a faint golden aura around his body said: "Princess Fei Xue, the fate of all living beings in the three realms is now in your hands. May you protect the heavens and all living things...". As he spoke, he led all the gods in reciting Buddhist scriptures on the edge of the cliff. Perhaps for them, the only thing they could do for Fei Xue and all living beings was to chant scriptures here...
I thought the Demon's Cave would be terrifying, but it seems that not all rumors are true. The snowflakes flew into the cave unobstructed and entered a huge hall in the center of the cave, where there were many demons. Compared to others, these demons looked quite frightening, but if they didn't look like this, they wouldn't be called demons.
"You've finally arrived, Fei Xue——" In the hall, a man sat on a chair that symbolized the throne. As Fei Xue approached, she saw that the man had a head full of eerie green hair, and his clothes were the same color as his hair, but when worn by him, they seemed to be filled with an otherworldly aura. Gradually, she made out the man's features. He was unlike any other man, without the flamboyance of the fire god, or the righteousness of the sun god, nor did he have the selflessness of the coming one who would bring everything for the sake of all living things. The face that was as gentle and beautiful as a woman's maintained an eerie smile, and his eyes were also green, filled with an evil, dark green color.
"Do you know me?"
Fei Xue stood in front of him, wearing a white dress, her face fearless as she looked at him.
