Chapter 284: She is the only one standing alone

Two wooden boxes that look identical.

One represents vitality, the other represents disaster.

"It seems like they want to let us choose," said Shui Yujun.

Ye Xingzhou: "Observe for a while first."

The two wooden boxes appeared strangely. If you don’t choose the right one, you may get into trouble.

So Ye Xingzhou did not act rashly for the time being, but instead observed his surroundings.

He and Shui Yujun were in a space formed by countless silver threads.

It was triggered accidentally by Ye Xingzhou when he was searching for the city-guarding statue.

The space is filled with dense silver threads, wrapped into long oval shapes.

Feel it carefully, you can feel a slight wriggling sensation under your feet. This silver thread space is very much like a cocoon.

The inside of the cocoon was filled with glowing lights, but the exit was invisible.

Ye Xingzhou waved out a talisman to try it out. The silver thread was very tough and could not be burned by fire or cut by a sword.

There is only one way to get out, choose the wooden box.

Shui Yujun stared at the floating words and spoke first.

"You choose one, I choose one. If I choose disaster, you will use your life to save me."

Ye Xingzhou was a little surprised when he heard this, "It's rare for you to become smart."

Shui Yujun's face darkened. "Are you saying that I'm stupid?"

Ye Xingzhou: "I didn't say that."

Ye Xingzhou's initial thoughts were somewhat different from Shui Yujun's.

There was no requirement to choose one of the two wooden boxes, so he wanted to take both.

Then use the wooden box of vitality to offset the wooden box of disaster.

In this way, the crisis was resolved and the people got out.

But now Shui Yujun's method is also feasible.

It was a rare moment of cleverness for Ye Xingzhou, so he did not deny his method.

Ye Xingzhou: "I'll count to three, and we'll take it together."

Shui Yujun: "I know, clean ink."

It was a rare opportunity for his idea to be affirmed, and Shui Yujun even raised his tail to urge him on.

Ye Xingzhou stretched out his hand, ready to grab the wooden box on the right.

“One, two—”

Before San could make a move, the wooden box disappeared from their sight, and both of them were hit on the head with two bangs.

"Who, who?"

Ye Xingzhou turned his head.

A shadow appeared behind him, with a plum-red mark between his eyebrows. He looked quite cold and kind, and his whole body was emitting a fluorescent light. At this moment, the shadow was elegantly adjusting his sleeves.

With this kind and gentle appearance, he has nothing to do with hitting people on the head.

What surprised Ye Xingzhou even more was that the woman looked exactly like the city guardian statue.

The difference is that the plum branch in her hand is entangled in her black hair.

Ye Xingzhou held down Shui Yujun's hand as she was about to draw her sword and asked the woman.

"Senior, are you the city guardian statue?"

"What kind of city-guarding statue is this? It's just a nameless statue."

The woman's voice was calm and pleasant.

Ye Xingzhou: "Senior, you are too modest. The stability of West City is all protected by you."

A faint smile appeared on the woman's face.

This smile is more peaceful.

One look and you'll see a peaceful and prosperous era.

Even Ye Xingzhou's heart, which had been tainted by the things of the reincarnation of grains, was purified a lot.

All he had seen so far were stone statues, so Ye Xingzhou was a little uncomfortable seeing a real person.

"What's your name, senior?"

"Mei Xuanying."

Xuanying represents winter, solemn and cold.

Therefore, plum blossoms are added to add beauty and color.

It should be a cold name, but it was given to such a peaceful woman.

It has the meaning of winter fading away and spring returning with green leaves.

Ye Xingzhou bowed and saluted, "Junior greets Senior Xuanying."

Mei Xuanying nodded, "No need to bow."

Logically speaking, she would not show up today.

Normal people will automatically choose one of the two options when they see it.

However, something unexpected happened.

I met two people with abnormal brain circuits today.

He asked for both right away.

Mei Xuanying couldn't sit still, so he showed up and punched the two men twice.

Mei Xuanying glanced at Shui Yujun who came up with this idea.

Shui Yujun showed no fear at all, and looked back suppressively, her almond-shaped eyes full of aggression.

And then—bang!

The wooden box hit his head again.

"Hey you!"

Just as Shui Yujun was about to get angry, Ye Xingzhou blocked his mouth.

Then Ye Xingzhou stood on tiptoe and took the wooden box with his other hand.

"Thank you, Senior Xuanying, for your guidance."

Look, when the poor student thought he was being attacked, the good student had already seen through the trick at a glance.

Shui Yujun's anger had subsided a little, but he was still not convinced.

Ye Xingzhou pinched his lips, not giving him a chance to speak.

Just give him the wooden box. Why bother hitting him on the head with the wooden box on purpose?

If you can't kill him with your eyes, then you should take revenge on him.

Not everyone can hit him on the head.

What’s infuriating is that Wu Ren didn’t even say a word to help him, and just kept turning his elbow outward.

Shui Yujun slapped Ye Xingzhou's hand away and turned his head away.

"Don't touch me."

You can tell he's angry when you hear that.

Ye Xingzhou ignored him.

Previous experience told him that Shui Yujun would not be angry for long, and would calm himself down and would not be able to help but talk to him again.

He is a completely invisible chatterbox who pretends to be cool.

Mei Xuanying's tone softened a lot, "Open it and take a look."

There was something unclear in Mei Xuanying's eyes as she looked at Ye Xingzhou.

It has nothing to do with romance, only affection.

She sensed it.

The breath of old friends.

It's been too long.

She was about to disappear before we met again.

The old friend is reborn, but she is trapped in the cocoon.

In this deserted reed marsh.

Watched the four seasons day after day.

Spring brings life, summer brings green, autumn brings yellow, winter brings withering.

The stream gurgles and the reeds sway.

She was the only one left, a lonely stone statue.

Can't move, can't leave.

Ye Xingzhou didn't look away for a moment.

It's too obvious.

Mei Xuanying's eyes.

Deep thoughts and endless drizzle that cannot be dissolved.

Ye Xingzhou did not open the wooden box for a while.

He said, "Senior Xuanying, can you tell me something?"

Due to the restrictions of the Pseudo Heavenly Dao, Mei Xuanying could not answer what he asked, so he chose to let Mei Xuanying tell him.

Mei Xuanying closed her eyes and relaxed.

"Open the wooden box and leave."

How could a city-guarding statue possibly bring disaster?

From the beginning to the end, the wooden box has only one chance of survival, and the disaster of the other wooden box is just a gimmick.

It was a false illusion created to drive away those who had evil intentions and were destroying the statue.

Mei Xuanying didn't want to say more, and Ye Xingzhou pursed his lips.

Still no movement to open the wooden box.

City guardian statue.

West City.

Ye Xingzhou thought of Mei Kai, the lord of West City.

When Mei You was still in her infancy, Mei Kai slit her throat to let her bleed and buried her hastily.

Normally, a baby who had suffered such a punishment would have died long ago.

Not only did Mei You not die, he also fought back.

This means that something extraordinary must have happened during this period to change one's fate.

Before his death, Mei Kai said that Mei You was his reincarnation.

He is the guardian deity of West City, Mei Xuanying, and even more so Mei You.

He could seize this opportunity first.

But he couldn't take it.

If he takes it away, Mei You will not survive in the future, and Xicheng will no longer have the guardian statue to protect it.

He was not sure how long he could stay in the past hundred years, and perhaps he would not be able to wait until Mei You and Mei Chou were born.

There are some tragedies that he can do nothing about and cannot change.

But this vitality is possible.

Ye Xingzhou returned the wooden box intact and looked into Mei Xuanying's eyes.

"Senior Xuanying, please leave this vitality to a girl named Meiyou a hundred years from now."
