Chongming naturally felt Yaohua's estrangement from him, which made him even more heart - broken. Every time he wanted to ask, Yaohua would avoid him.
"Can we have a good talk?"
"Talk? About what? You clearly knew there was something wrong with that woman. Why didn't you let me deal with her?"
As soon as Chongming asked this question, the anger that Yaohua had been suppressing for several days suddenly burst out.
She knew that there was a special relationship between Chongming and Qingyi, but she didn't expect him to protect her so much.
"Yaohua, you've misunderstood." For the sake of the truth, Chongming still decided to keep it a secret. "I'll explain it to you after everything is over. Please trust me."
Yaohua looked at Chongming. She didn't want to wait for his explanation. Her eyes were full of disappointment.
Didn't he know that "Qingyi" had tried to harm her several times without any mercy?
"She made mistakes, but please give her a chance. I'll find a way to solve this." Out of guilt towards Qingyi, Chongming wanted to pull Qingmei back onto the right path.
He didn't want to see this little girl go astray.
Noticing Chongming's protection of her, Qingmei became even more excessive towards Yaohua and secretly provoked her several times.
Yaohua really didn't want to wait for Chongming's explanation anymore. She didn't know how long she had to wait, and she didn't have the time.
Since this matter couldn't be resolved for the time being, she decided to deal with other things first. After all, her time was running out.
Just yesterday, she looked through the ancient books of the Shuangtong Kingdom and found the whereabouts of the Divine Mirror.
Whether it was true or not, she had to go and check it out. After all, the Divine Mirror was very important now.
After leaving a message for Chongming, she took the ancient books and went to find the Divine Mirror.
The good news was that she did find the Divine Mirror. However, she didn't expect it to be damaged and no longer usable.
This wouldn't do.
After going through so much trouble to find the Divine Mirror, Yaohua naturally wasn't willing to give up easily.
Yaohua took the Divine Mirror back and planned to check the ancient books of the Shuangtong Kingdom again to see if there was a way to repair it.
Her perseverance paid off. Yaohua really found a way.
To repair the Divine Mirror, three things were needed: the Nuwa Stone, the Phoenix's life - feather, and the Qilin's horn.
She had the Phoenix's life - feather. She only needed to find the other two things.
For the Phoenix clan, losing the life - feather meant death, and they might not even have a chance to be reborn.
But she was already dying, and this life - feather was the most useful thing she could leave behind.
After all, the Divine Mirror was very important if they wanted to deal with the Demon Lord.
After making preparations, Yaohua, who had been injured while searching for the Divine Mirror, didn't want to waste any time. Time was precious to her, and she didn't want to waste a single moment.
Qingmei, who hadn't seen Yaohua for several days, decided to seize the opportunity as soon as she saw Yaohua return.
Especially since she noticed that Yaohua seemed to be injured.
This way, her chances of winning were much greater. With the good things the Demon Lord had given her, she didn't believe she couldn't deal with Yaohua.
While Chongming was away, seeing Yaohua about to leave, Qingmei decided to seize this opportunity to get rid of Yaohua.
Yaohua sensed something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Qingmei.
She thought it was bad. Sure enough, Qingmei attacked her.
If it had been before, Qingmei wouldn't have been her match. But now she was injured, and she also noticed that there was something strange about Qingmei.
It seemed that Qingmei's strength had increased.
"You're nothing special." Qingmei sneered. "You should blame yourself for ruining my plans back then. You deserve to die now."
"Humph, if you want to kill me, just do it. Why waste your breath?" Yaohua felt a chill in her heart. She didn't expect to die at the hands of this little demon.
It was a pity that she hadn't repaired the Divine Mirror yet. She only hoped that Chongming could understand her intentions and find the other things to repair it.
Yaohua closed her eyes and waited for death. She wasn't afraid, only regretful.
"Stop!"
Seeing this scene, Chongming's eyes widened. He quickly stepped in and interrupted Qingmei.
He hugged Yaohua tightly in his arms. He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to Yaohua if he had been a moment late.
He didn't dare to think about it. Just imagining the possibility of losing Yaohua made him want to kill Qingmei.
"Qingmei! Didn't I tell you not to touch her?" Chongming stared at Qingmei, his eyes as cold as ice.
"You recognized me?" Qingmei looked at Chongming in disbelief.
"I recognized you a long time ago. I just felt a bit soft - hearted towards you because of your sister."
Now it seemed that he had thought too much. Instead, he had almost harmed Yaohua. It was his fault. He had dragged Yaohua into this.
He stroked Yaohua's face, fed her some medicine, and injected some divine power into her.
"What's your relationship with Qingyi?" Yaohua, who had recovered a bit, couldn't help but ask. Maybe it was because she was too vulnerable now, or maybe it was because Chongming cared so much about her.
"Back then, she and I fought against the demons together."
As the old memories resurfaced, Chongming fell into recollection and told the story slowly.
"It was my fault. I didn't protect Qingyi well, which made her finally choose to sacrifice herself." Chongming said with a hint of guilt, which was also the reason why he had been willing to protect Qingmei before.
"She has turned into the sea of flowers in the Shuangtong Kingdom, the one outside the border."
Hearing Chongming's words, Qingmei couldn't believe it. She had never thought that her sister was dead.
"impossible! Absolutely impossible! You're lying to me! You're lying to me!"
Qingmei didn't want to believe this fact.
"Sister can't be dead! It's you who didn't protect sister well!" Qingmei glared at Chongming fiercely. Seeing him hugging Yaohua made her even more irritated. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you to avenge sister!"
Qingmei launched a deadly attack. But Chongming, out of consideration for Qingyi, didn't want to seriously hurt Qingmei and still held back a bit.
"Qingmei! Calm down!"
"Your sister died for the Shuangtong Kingdom. Even after death, she didn't want to leave the Shuangtong Kingdom. Do you want to see your sister's sacrifice go to waste?"
"If you destroy the Shuangtong Kingdom, how disappointed Qingyi would be."
Chongming defended himself while trying to persuade Qingmei.
"Kill him! It was him who killed your sister! It was his incompetence that killed your sister!"
Qingmei was already wavering, but when she heard the Demon Lord's voice, the evil thoughts in her heart resurfaced.
Chongming and Yaohua knew it was bad when they saw the Demon Lord appear.
If the two of them joined forces, they would surely be at a disadvantage.
"Qingmei! Wake up!"
Chongming not only had to protect Yaohua but also deal with two opponents. He was gradually struggling.
After all, the Demon Lord was not an easy opponent, and Chongming had to be careful not to seriously injure Qingmei.
Seeing that Chongming was about to lose his strength, Yaohua was very worried. "Don't worry about me."
But how could Chongming not worry? Even if he had to die in battle, he wouldn't abandon Yaohua.
"Qingmei! Look at that sea of flowers and think about your sister!"
Hearing this, Qingmei looked at the sea of flowers and was instantly stunned. She seemed to see her sister and hear her sister talking to her.
Qingmei seemed to feel her sister touching her, hoping that she wouldn't make any more mistakes.
She came to her senses. Looking at Chongming being attacked by the Demon Lord, she decided to help Chongming deal with the Demon Lord first.
