Chapter 5 — Christmas Fairy Tale at Ma Palace

Having finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves. There was indeed an old crack on his wrist. Yellow veins surround both sides of the crack, looking like something had burned them. I don't know why they're all staring at that scar. But when I saw it, I suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in my chest. It's like there's a thin thread, gently pulling me and him closer together. I wrinkled my small face. The emperor immediately bowed his head.

“What's wrong?”

I don't know many words. I could only reach out and point at Thieu Dieu's wrist.

“Pain.”

When this word was uttered, Thieu Dieu's eyelashes trembled slightly. His father's face became even more unsightly.

“Stop being so pitiful in front of her.”

Thieu Dieu pursed his lips.

“I don't have it.”

The emperor smiled coldly.

"The Heavenly Clan's mouth, this deity doesn't believe even a word of it."

The army took a step forward.

“Demon Venerable, if the Crown Prince has voluntarily submitted to the three interrogations of Demon Hell, this matter can be decided.”

“But the Demon Race also had to make an oath, within a hundred years not to use the baby to purify the Demon Abyss, not to use it to change the Demon Clan's fortunes.”

The father's eyes were cold.

“This deity raises a daughter, not a dharma weapon.”

“This oath, I make.”

The person waved his hand, a drop of blood flew out from his heart. That drop of blood hung in the air, heavy like a black star.

“This Venerable swears in the name of Demon Venerable.”

“For a hundred years, no one from the Demon Clan will be allowed to harm her, imprison her, or take advantage of her.”

"Whoever dares to do something wrong, must first overcome my deity's sword."

The queen mother also bit her fingertips.

“I swear in the name of the Demon Queen.”

“She is a girl, not a cause and effect, not a chess piece.”

“If the two clans forget, I will make both clans remember.”

Two drops of blood fell into the center of the Conference. The Heavenly Clan's oath seal also flew over. The three colors black, white, and yellow wrap around each other, turning into a tiny ring, gently falling into my bag. The moment the bracelet touched down, the golden light between my eyebrows glowed again. This time it's not just a dot. It's a slender, intact line. It's like someone used gold thread to embroider a smiling peach blossom petal on my forehead. The groups of images raised their heads simultaneously. The white-bearded old man muttered: "The seal of destiny has blossomed."

“It understands oaths.”

The tone of the Demon Clan's ancestors also changed.

“Only three days since birth, but already able to fulfill the oath.”

“This child…”

He hasn't finished speaking yet. Because I suddenly burst into tears. It wasn't the ghost's lamp-shattering cry. Nor is it the wailing sound of a fairy child. My cry is very light. But as soon as the cry started, all the dark clouds outside the palace were pushed away. Before everyone could react, a dull sound suddenly came from deep underground in the Demon Palace. It was like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time had just turned around. His father turned his head and looked down at the ground. The left and right demon generals simultaneously changed color.

“Not good.”

“The demon abyss has awakened.”

The Demon Palace is located in the deepest part of the Demon Palace. It is not a well. Not even a crack. It is the source of the Demon Race. Countless murderous auras, resentment bones, fighting souls, all were deeply immersed in it. After the armistice Thien - Demon Three hundred years ago, the emperor's father used half of his body's demon blood to seal the Demon Abyss, in exchange for peace at the border of the Demon Race. Yet my crying just woke up Ma Yuan. The floor tiles of the main hall cracked inch by inch. Black gas billowed out from the gaps. It's not the usual docile demonic weapon. It's an ancient resentment that smells of rust and a strong smell of blood. Several Heavenly Clan High Gods immediately retreated. The demon generals drew their swords to shield themselves in front of their father. But the king's father did not move at all. The person hugged me tightly, his eyes were deep and scary.

“Wind power.”

The Left and Right Demon Generals simultaneously formed seals. Twelve demon generals plunged their demon swords into the ground. The black pattern spread out from under their feet, pinning the main hall. But the vibrations of Ma Yuan became more and more intense. I cried and screamed even more bitterly. Because that black gas is too noisy. They are like countless sounds echoing in our ears. Some people shout, fight, kill. Some people mourn. Someone shouted a name that I couldn't understand. A Chieu. A Chieu. Go home. I don't know who A Chieu is. But every time I hear it, my forehead gets hotter. Thieu Dieu suddenly raised his head.

“She heard it.”

The royal father glanced coldly across.

“Shut up.”

Thieu Dieu refused to back down.

“In the Demon Abyss, there is something calling to you.”

The Heavenly Clan's ancestor's face turned pale.

"Could it be that the tribulation in the prophecy is not in the Celestial Clan, nor is it in the Demon Clan?"

“Which is located in the Demon Abyss?”

The Demon Ancestor angrily shouted: "Speaking vaguely."

“Magic abyss is the foundation of our clan.”

“How can you harm Demon Venerable's daughter?”

As soon as its words ended, a black hand suddenly appeared from a crack in the ground. That hand condensed from resentment, five long fingers, grabbed straight towards me. His father swung a knife and slashed down. The black hand was immediately severed. But the black energy that was cut off did not dissipate. They floated in mid-air and then condensed into a black peach blossom. Seeing that flower, my crying suddenly stopped. All eyes were on us. The black peach blossom gently rotates. From the pistil of the flower appeared a blurry face. Like a woman. Like dry bones again. She looked at me, her voice hoarse as if she had just crawled up from underground.

“The seal has been opened.”

“Your Highness, it's time to pay your debt.”

The royal father's sword soared again.

“A god pretending to be a devil.”

This knife is heavier than the knife that slashed the ancestor just now. The black peach was cut to pieces. But the woman's laughter still echoed throughout the palace.

“Demon Venerable, you sealed the Demon Abyss for three hundred years.”

“But you can't seal her.”

“It should have been born here.”

“It is the key.”

As soon as the last two words fell, the entire text in the palace suddenly faded in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Clan's ancestor staggered back. Thien Quan's face also changed. The Demon Clan generals looked even more like they had been stabbed in the heart, everyone looked surprised. Key. These two words are too heavy. The thing that can open the heavenly gate is called the key. The thing that can open the marble nest is called the key. And the thing that can open the Demon Abyss is also called the key. Father bowed his head and looked at me. I've stopped crying. Because after the black peach burst, a black petal fell next to my hand. Father intended to crush it. But I was quicker and reached out to grab it. The mother cried out in horror.

“Chieu Chieu!”

This is the first time you've called me by my first name. As soon as that name was uttered, the call that rang out from deep within Ma Yuan suddenly fell silent. Immediately afterward, the entire Demon Palace seemed to be hit hard by a giant beast. The billowing black energy turned upside down. The black petals in my hand are burning. But we don't let go. I just looked at my father, very seriously babbling out a word.

“Father.”

The emperor was stunned.
