C888 Then Let's Die Together
This was something she could not imagine. Even if she died, she had to protect the authority of the Moxie Family in the underground Lou Lan. This was her mission and duty.
Moxie Zhengdong didn't speak for a long time. Finally, her trembling teeth gradually disappeared.
She forced herself to calm down.
Since she couldn't silence Tuoba Qianjun, she had to swallow the bitter wine she brewed.
Moxie Zhengdong took a long breath and said with a calm voice, "Mr. Tuoba, I am willing to accept the punishment of fire and ice from the Temple."
Her reaction was within Tuoba Qianjun's expectations. He flashed to the side and said lightly: "Then I shall respectfully invite Her Majesty The Queen to the shrine. I will send word to the palace right away. "If..."
After pausing for a moment, Tuoba Qianjun continued, "If you die from misfortune when you are punished, I will support the new generation of Her Majesty The Queen to ascend the throne on behalf of Deities Templar within three days. Please rest assured."
Moxie Zhengdong clenched her fists hidden in the sleeves of her robe and nodded, "I understand, I'll be troubling Mr. Tuoba for everything." But I have one thing to ask you. "
Tuoba Qianjun looked at Gao Fei and said coldly, "Are you talking about Prince Consort?"
Moxie Zhengdong didn't say anything and only nodded.
In order to obtain power over Moxie Family, she would rather accept the punishment of ice and fire than die, but she couldn't drag Gao Fei into this: If Gao Fei was executed, even if she died, she wouldn't rest in peace, so before receiving the punishment, she had to free Gao Fei from it first.
Tuoba Qianjun said expressionlessly, "Her Majesty The Queen, you don't need me to tell you the truth. You should understand that anyone who enters the Asura's Path without permission will be bitten by the Snake Dowager. This cannot be changed."
Moxie Zhengdong slowly took a step forward and said, "I was the one who brought him here. He didn't know the meaning of the Asura Dao before this. So if you want to punish me, then punish me. I … I am willing to take responsibility for him. I can add another twenty-four hours to the foundation. "
In a certain generation, after Queen of Loulan had been punished by fire and ice for violating the Ancestral Code, she had not endured for even thirty-six hours. This was enough to show how cruel this punishment was.
However, in order to excuse Gao Fei, she had no chance of surviving if she volunteered to stay for another 24 hours. No one could survive for 48 hours in that kind of environment.
But in order to save Gao Fei, she could only do so.
However, Tuoba Qianjun shook his head coldly: "Her Majesty The Queen, I'm sorry, I can't agree to this request of yours. "Even if Prince Consort is innocent, he has still violated the ancestral rules, so he must accept the punishment he deserves."
Moxie Zhengdong took off her mask and revealed a heavenly face.
The two Spiritual Lizard Envoys standing at the entrance of the cave immediately knelt down with one knee on the ground. With their low status, they had no right to see Her Majesty The Queen's true appearance.
Moxie Zhengdong's face was cold as she said with a sinister voice, "Tuoba Qianjun, I didn't bring Prince Consort here for no reason. I brought Prince Consort here for the sake of finding a kind of mystery …"
Before she could finish her words, Tuoba Qianjun interrupted her. "Is it to find that mysterious Burning Sound?"
Moxie Zhengdong was taken aback for a moment, but then she slowly nodded her head. "Yes, you heard it too?"
Tuoba Qianjun lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Her Majesty The Queen, the reason why I was able to come to Asura Dao was because of the Burning Sound."
Moxie Zhengdong asked anxiously: "Then did you see the golden light and the loud and clear burning sound from the King Snake's body when it pounced at him?"
Tuoba Qianjun said honestly, "I saw it and heard it."
"That's good!"
Moxie Zhengdong heaved a sigh of relief, "The reason why I brought Prince Consort to the Asura Dao was so that I could find the answers to the Burning Sound and Golden Light. Why, the closer they got to the Asura Dao, the more intense the golden light and the burning sound became? What connection would there be between them? Mr. Tuoba, I think even if it's you, you should know what's going on right? Perhaps, his protective talisman and Mo Xie's royal family's … "
Tuoba Qianjun interrupted Moxie Zhengdong once again, "These are not the research areas of a High Priest like me. I am just following the rules set by the ancestors and punishing anyone who dares to trespass into the Asura Dao. Her Majesty The Queen, you should know the position of the Shura's Path in the underground Lou Lan. Back then, our ancestor used this place as a resting place, so it must have a special meaning. "
Tuoba Qianjun pursed his lips and continued: "What's more, when there's no one watching the Asura Dao, mosquitoes, animals and other things will not be allowed in. The King Snake s were driven in by us, which is enough to show that the Asura Dao does not allow anyone to offend it."
Moxie Zhengdong said so much, but Tuoba Qianjun didn't back down. This made her killing intent rise as she asked sinisterly, "Mr. Tuoba, do you really want to force me to burn together?"
Tuoba Qianjun still did not compromise at all. His right hand stroked his shoulder as he slightly lowered his head as though he was waiting to be slaughtered by Her Majesty The Queen. "Everything is within Her Majesty The Queen's control."
"You, you!"
Of course, Moxie Zhengdong would not really kill Tuoba Qianjun. When she saw that he was not even afraid of death and still wanted to uphold the ancestral system, she felt both angry and helpless.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Gao Fei said, "Mr. Tuoba, you just said that besides King of Loulan, anyone who dares to trespass into the Asura Dao must endure the punishment of being bitten by snakes, right?"
The punishment of being bitten by ten thousand snakes was to feed a person to a snake.
Tuoba Qianjun raised his head and said lightly: "Yes. "Prince Consort, I have no intentions of going against you personally. This is just a matter of ancestor order, please forgive me."
"What use would a dead man's understanding be to people?"
Gao Fei held his hands behind his back and walked to Moxie Zhengdong's side. He stood beside her and said, "Fine, I promise you that I will be willing to bear the punishment of being bitten by ten thousand snakes."
"Gao Fei, don't!"
After hearing Gao Fei's words, Moxie Zhengdong stopped calling him Prince Consort. She grabbed his shoulder and said anxiously, "I'll definitely think of a way to get you out of here!"
Gao Fei smiled and asked in a low voice: "What way?" "Even Her Majesty The Queen, who's so high and mighty, can't defy the ancestral system, so what way do you have to free me?"
"I, I …"
Moxie Zhengdong swallowed her saliva.
Gao Fei was right. She couldn't even free herself, so how could she save Gao Fei?
Gao Fei sighed, raised his hand and caressed Moxie Zhengdong's cheek, "Sigh, actually, it's fine to think about it. Anyway, a person's life is over in the blink of an eye, it doesn't matter if they die a few years earlier or a few years later. Isn't it just death? The last time I fell from such a high place, I didn't even die.
Without waiting for Moxie Zhengdong to say anything, Gao Fei looked at Tuoba Qianjun and said, "Mr. Tuoba, I can bow my head and accept your punishment, but I also have a condition."
Tuoba Qianjun slightly bowed. "Prince Consort, please speak. As long as you don't violate the rules of your ancestors, I will do my best to accommodate you."
"Alright."
Gao Fei said word by word, "I want to be punished together with Dong'er."
Tuoba Qianjun was stunned. "What?"
Gao Fei repeated, "I want to be punished together with Her Majesty The Queen. In other words, in the same place, she will be punished by her fire and ice and I will suffer the bite of my Snake Dowager."
Tuoba Qianjun's mouth twitched: "A-are you being punished in one place? "How, how is this possible? Her Majesty The Queen is in the ice cave, but you are in the snake cave."
Gao Fei laughed, "I don't care. I just want to know if I was punished together with Her Majesty The Queen is a violation of the head system? Oh, that's right, I also know that your King Snake can endure the cold. They shouldn't have too much of an opinion on the dining environment. "
"I just want to be with her before my death. "Mr. Tuoba, please help me."
After saying that, Gao Fei slowly held Moxie Zhengdong's hand and looked at her with eyes full of warmth and tenderness …
"Fine, then let's die together. I believe it won't be long before I go find you."
Moxie Zhengdong muttered as she pressed Gao Fei's hand against her cheek and closed her eyes.
In a rather cruel environment, spirit is important if you want to survive longer.
As long as one's entire body was filled with love or hatred, the potential deep within the human body would be stimulated, supporting the life to give birth to a supreme hope. This was a principle known by the world.
But if a person lost love and hatred, then his hope for survival would go extinct. In a cruel environment that could have endured the past, he would have died.
Take Gao Fei and Moxie Zhengdong for example. If Gao Fei escaped the punishment of being bitten by a snake and thought that he would still be able to have an intimate relationship with Gao Fei even after thirty-six hours, then Moxie Zhengdong might really be able to survive the punishment of fire and ice.
However, if she saw Gao Fei die in front of her, then her mental state would be severely damaged. Let alone three days and three nights, she probably wouldn't even be able to endure for forty-four hours.
Therefore, whether it was her or Tuoba Qianjun, both of them knew that she was dead for sure, so they accepted the punishment in peace.
Honestly speaking, the love before Moxie Zhengdong and Gao Fei's death had really moved Tuoba Qianjun.
Unfortunately, this still wasn't enough for him to go against the ancestor's rules. At most, it would be like what he said just now, slightly accommodating, and a bit more magnanimous, allowing the lovebirds to be punished inside the ice cave.
In any case, King Snake could endure the cold. In an environment of -10 degrees Celsius, perhaps they would like to have some good food to warm up their bodies.
"Alright, then I'll send Her Majesty The Queen off. Prince Consort is about to arrive."
Tuoba Qianjun hesitated for a long time before bowing down to show his concession.
"Let's go."
Gao Fei led the way and held Moxie Zhengdong's hand.
For the first time, Moxie Zhengdong was like a young wife following behind her husband, obediently being led away by Gao Fei. Her face was calm, and even her eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"Gao Fei was right, people will die sooner or later. There isn't much difference between dying a few years earlier and dying a few years later. In order to not make things difficult for me, what did I care if he was willing to abandon the next fifty to sixty years of his life?
It's a pity that I haven't found the entire set of the《 Anggui Classic》 and haven't changed the fate of King of Loulan.
"Hehe, but what's the big deal. Since people are going to die, why bother so much?"
Moxie Zhengdong thought to herself as she slowly walked out of the tunnel with Gao Fei.
It was currently noon and a wave of heat wave immediately blew over. There were dozens of Spiritual Lizard envoys and disciples standing in the open space outside.
When they saw Moxie Zhengdong come out, all of them knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, "Welcome, Her Majesty The Queen!"
