Chapter 252: Queen's Redemption

Starlight like water, snoring like thunder.

This night, Zhang Xingyu slept very sweetly.

In his dream, he left the big tree and followed a sound of heavenly music to a city intertwined with black and white.

Strangely, two kinds of people lived in this city.

One kind was pitch black, with a pair of black wings.

The other kind was snow white, with a pair of white wings.

Those with black wings were called Dark Night Angels, and those with white wings were called Light Angels.

Entering the city, he was surrounded by the people here.

Because on his back, he had a pair of golden wings.

People pointed at him.

Some said he was a god.

Some said he was a demon.

In short, the people in the city had never seen a guy with golden wings.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally decided to send him to the palace.

The beautiful and wise Queen must be able to identify his identity.

People said so.

Not long after, the palace guard came.

The guard was divided into two columns, one white and one black.

Under the escort of these two columns of black and white soldiers, Zhang Xingyu arrived outside the palace gate.

On the palace gate hung a high plaque.

On the plaque, three large characters were written in black and white colors: "Dark Night Palace".

Entering the palace, Zhang Xingyu was pushed into a golden and magnificent palace.

In the center of the palace stood a beautiful woman.

This woman had an exquisite nose and big eyes, black hair draped over her shoulders, and a small pink mouth embedded in her fair little face. She wore a crown, had an alluring figure, and a purple dress set her off as incomparably noble. On her shoulders grew a pair of snow-white wings, and the golden runes on the wings were dazzling.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu, this woman showed a confused expression in her eyes.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere!"

The woman said to Zhang Xingyu.

"Perhaps, maybe I have seen..." Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.

Looking at this woman's appearance, he also had a feeling of familiarity.

"Who are you?" the woman asked.

"Zhang Xingyu. And you?"

"Dark Night. Dark for darkness, night for night."

Dark Night?

Dark Night Queen?

One of the ten Demon Kings?

That Demon King who made the Phantom Dragon God suffer a big loss and couldn't forget it?

"As you think, I am indeed the Dark Night Queen."

The woman smiled sweetly at Zhang Xingyu.

Her smile was very charming, like the bright moonlight sprinkled from the sky.

"Then, outsider, what are you doing in my territory?"

"Please forgive our presumption in disturbing the Queen. We want to borrow the way to go to the Giant Canyon."

"Giant Canyon?"

After hearing this, the Dark Moon Queen didn't ask again.

She lowered her head, light flashing in her eyes, clearly thinking about something.

After a long while, the Dark Moon Queen raised her head.

"Outsider, the Giant Canyon is a very dangerous place. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes. Sure. Definitely."

"If you go there from my territory, it will inevitably cause my people to be implicated..."

"We can compensate..."

"Very good. Very good. It just so happens that I also have a matter that needs your help. If you can help me solve the problem, I will allow you to pass through my territory."

"Please speak, I will definitely do my best."

The Dark Night Queen said that a long, long time ago, a group of cute elves lived in the forest. They had pointed ears, charming faces, and cute wings. They were kind-hearted and liked to help people, and were affectionately called angels by other creatures in the forest.

Once, a black fruit fell from the sky. A greedy girl ate it and fell asleep on a tree branch. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that the forest she was in had fallen into permanent darkness. It turned out that while she was sleeping, her beautiful wings had turned black, swallowing all the daylight above the forest.

Darkness eroded the forest, plants gradually withered, and animals all died. The angels were terrified to find that their wings were slowly turning black.

The girl was very guilty and very terrified. She found that she could no longer control herself. Whenever daylight appeared, her brain was not clear, and her wings would turn black. Under the swallowing of this pair of black wings, the forest was dark and sunless.

Watching her clansmen's wings turn black and die in pain, the girl finally made up her mind. While she was still clear-headed, the girl found an axe and personally had someone cut off her own wings.

She thought, without wings, she wouldn't harm others anymore, right?

However, the next day, when the sun rose.

A pair of black wings grew on her shoulders again.

The forest was still without daylight.

The girl was very disappointed.

However, she was surprised to find that the wings she had cut off shone in the darkness.

Thus, every night, the girl would have someone cut off her wings.

The wings hung on the branches, like dots of stars, bringing faint light to the forest.

"That girl is you, Dark Night Queen?" After listening to the story, Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Yes, it is me. I brought disaster to the forest and my clansmen. But my clansmen honored me as Queen because of my self-redemption. Can you understand this feeling?"

"Can't understand, but can feel."

The Dark Night Queen stared into Zhang Xingyu's eyes and said word by word: "Outsider, do me a favor. When I am lost, when my wings turn black, kill me."

"Queen, your request is a bit difficult for me. If I kill you, I'm afraid your clansmen will tear me into pieces."

"Don't worry, I will issue a decree to tell my clansmen the truth. After reading it, they definitely won't make things difficult for you."

"Still not appropriate. Your cultivation is profound, and I can't kill you."

"If you don't try, how do you know you can't kill me. I have a feeling that you are the person who can let me be free."

"Queen, this..."

"Don't refuse. If you don't try, how do you know you can't kill me. As long as you are willing to do it, even if you can't kill me, I will let you leave. If you kill me, I will also give you a big gift."

"Queen, please think twice..."

The Dark Night Queen waved her hand and ordered a maid beside her: "Take the guest to rest. Bring him to me when the sky is bright tomorrow."

A sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xingyu was brought to the Queen's palace again.

In the center of the palace, the Dark Night Queen sat on the throne.

In front of her, a girl knelt piously.

"Dark Moon, my child, from today on, this heavy responsibility of guarding the clansmen is handed over to you!"

The Queen held up the golden crown with both hands and placed it gently on the girl's head.

The girl nodded gently.

She kissed the Dark Night Queen's hand, then stood up slowly with the maid's support.

The moment she turned around, Zhang Xingyu let out a cry of surprise.
