Chapter 6 — Christmas Fairy Tale at Ma Palace

The next moment, the flower petal in my palm turned into a black thread. The black thread crawled up along my small wrist, aiming right at the seal of my eyelids, preparing to enter. Thieu Dieu's expression changed and he instinctively jumped forward. His father turned around and swung the knife, the blade stopped right at Thieu Dieu's throat. Thieu Dieu braked with difficulty.

“We can't let it get into the destiny seal.”

“That is a Demon Abyss contract.”

“She will be recognized by her master.”

Killing intent rippled under the emperor's eyes.

“You really know a lot.”

Thie Dieu stared at the black thread.

“In my dream at the compassion nest, I saw it.”

“The black peach forest, the pile of dry bones, and the black seal between her eyebrows.”

“If the black seal is formed, she will fall to become the master of the Demon Abyss before she is a hundred years old.”

The Demon Ancestor shouted loudly: "What's wrong with the Demon Abyss Master?" The white-bearded old man angrily scolded: "It was only born three days ago!" The mother-in-law rushed to my side. The person raised his hand to block the black thread, but was repelled by a stream of resentment, causing his fingertips to turn white. His father extended his arms to support him. His father's face showed cracks for the first time. Not outrage. It's fear. I saw the father was scared. A Demon Venerable who made the Celestial Clan not dare to raise their heads, made the Demon Clan kneel and bow their heads, yet the arms that hugged me trembled slightly. I suddenly don't want to make people afraid. So, I opened my mouth, bowed my head and bit straight into that black thread. All the people in the main hall were stunned. I bit the black thread and stopped for a moment. Then it let out a shrill squeal. That sound doesn't sound human. It's like the entire Demon Abyss had its tail stepped on by someone. I bite hard and don't let go. It's not sweet in the mouth at all. Still a bit bitter. His father finally regained his composure and raised his hand to squeeze out the black thread. But at this moment, the golden petals between my eyebrows suddenly bloomed. The golden light and the black line collide. Didn't explode. Not even torn apart. Yet they entangle each other between our eyebrows, forming a tiny seal that is half yellow and half black. The Celestial Clan's ancestor collapsed to the ground with a thud. The Demon Clan's ancestors were also completely muted. Thieu Dieu looked at me, his face pale.

“Not a fairy fetus.”

"It's not a ghost either."

“That girl is the door that has been sealed by the two clans for the past ninety thousand years.”

As soon as that sentence ended, no one in the main hall spoke. Even the vibrations of the Demon Abyss seemed to be pressed down to the ground. I am lying in my father's arms, in the middle of the seal is a line half golden light, half tinged with black fire. Golden light is like peach petals. The black fire is like a crack. They were side by side, quiet as if there had never been a fight. But the way everyone looks at me is different. The Celestial Clan looked at me, as if looking at an ancient artifact that should not be awakened. The demon race looked at me, just like looking at a sword that had just been drawn from its sheath but didn't know which direction it would swing. Father only glanced once, then raised his hand to cover my forehead.

“What door?”

His voice is very deep. The deeper it gets, the more it sounds like it's about to kill someone. Thieu Dieu did not answer immediately. His throat rolled, as if he couldn't believe it himself. The Heavenly Clan's ancestor knelt on the ground, his face pale.

“Ninety thousand years ago, between Thien Ha and Ma Abyss there was a boundary door gender."

“What is locked behind that door is not the Celestial Clan, nor is it the Demon Clan.”

“It's karma caused by both races.”

The Demon Clan's shadow raised its head.

“Shut up.”

The Heavenly Clan's ancestors also changed color at the same time.

“This cannot be said.”

The emperor laughed coldly.

"My deity's daughter has been turned into a door by you guys arguing, what else can't be said?"

My mother hugged my little hand. Your fingertips are very cold. But his voice is steadier than all.

“Let's be clear.”

“What exactly is a girl?”

The Heavenly Clan's ancestor slowly raised his head.

“It was not born by mistake.”

“It has been sealed.”

“The Heavenly Clan's lost origin purity, the Demon Abyss's lost killing contract, both combined into one, gave birth to the master of the destiny gate.”

"In other words, it can both purify murderous energy and open the way into the abyss."

“If it turns towards the light, the Galaxy is peaceful.”

“If it sinks into darkness, the abyss of magic opens wide.”

The Ma clan's shadow said in a serious voice: "These are all sensational threats." Thieu Dieu looked at me again, lowered his voice and said: "In the dream at the compassion nest, when the Demon Abyss opened up, the first thing to crumble was the Demon Palace." The king's father's hand tightened. It hurt a bit to be hugged, but I didn't cry. Because I can feel it, people are in more pain than me. The mother-in-law turned her eyes towards the Heavenly Clan's ancestors.

“Is there any way to seal the seal in the middle of her forehead?”

The Heavenly Clan's ancestors were silent. This silence is the scariest thing. His father's eyes gradually sank into ice.

“There is no way?”

The white-bearded old man said softly: "Yes."

“Use the Heavenly Clan's Golden Seal to stabilize the seal.”

“Using the blood of the Demon Race to suppress the contract.”

“Using the blood of its biological parents, nourishing it day after day.”

“Before turning 100 years old, you must not leave the formation, must not panic, must not get angry, and must not hear Ma Yuan's true name.”

General Huu Ma's face was pale.

“Does magic still have a real name?”

The Heavenly Clan's ancestors did not answer. The Demon Clan's ancestors suddenly fell silent. At that time I was too young. But later we learned that the more ancient something is, the more afraid it is of being called by its correct name. Because the name is the lock. Also the key. Father Emperor stared at the old ancestor.

“Whose body is Kim Van Ho Bi lying on?”

All eyes turned to Thieu Dieu. Thieu Dieu rolled up his sleeves. The Kim Van on his wrist was still glowing. The emperor burst out laughing. That laugh was as cold as a blade gliding across my bones.

“So all this time around, you guys still want to send the Celestial Clan crown prince to the Demon Palace.”

Thien Quan quickly spoke up: "Monster, this is not a joke." His father did not even glance at him.

“Of course I know it's not a joke.”

“Otherwise you would all be dead now.”

Thien Dieu took a step forward. The tip of his father's knife immediately rose. Thieu Dieu stopped three meters away.

“I can stay.”

“Kim Van can leave it to you.”

“But I have one condition.”

Thien Quan angrily shouted: "Thie Dieu!" The king's father narrowed his eyes.

“You still dare to set conditions?”

Thie Dieu looked at me.

“I want to go through the three questions of Hell first.”

“If I can't make it, don't bother the Demon Lord to take action, me will throw himself into the Demon Abyss.”

"If I make it through, within the next hundred years, please allow me to stand guard over that girl outside the three-meter formation."

The royal father coldly said: "You also know how to choose your own place." The mother suddenly asked: "Why three meters?" Thieu Dieu lowered his eyes.

“Because the Demon Abyss contract just started to transform when it was three meters away from her.”

“If I stay three meters away, I can stop the next transformation one step ahead.”

The murderous intent in his father's eyes has not diminished. But his blade did not come down. I looked at Thieu Dieu's wrist. The cracks on Kim Van danced continuously. Looks like he's in a lot of pain. I reached out my hand and gently scratched him. Father immediately hid me in his chest.

“Don't look at him.”

I sucked my finger and spoke in a slurred, unclear voice.

“Morning Morning.”

Thie Dieu was stunned. The corners of the Celestial Clan's ancestors' eyes were red again. But the emperor's father's face turned black.

“You can't even ask for it in the morning.”

The mother finally couldn't help but smile slightly. The smile was very faint and disappeared quickly. The man turned to look at his father.

“Let him ask.”

“We are all here.”

“If he hides even the slightest bit of malice, Hell will kill him first for Chieu Chieu.”

The royal father was silent for a long time. It was so long that at the bottom of the Demon Abyss, a tiny growl came out. Then he delivered me into the arms of my mother. He turned and walked away from the throne. Every step left behind blazing black footprints on the ground.

“Open the Dungeon.”

The ground at the end of the main hall cracked. A dark vertical eye slowly opened from the crack. It looked at Thieu Dieu. Look at me too. The black mark between my eyebrows suddenly warmed up slightly. From within those vertical eyes, a female voice echoed with a hint of laughter.

“A Chieu.”

“Finally, you're willing to look at me.”
