Ruomu

The long summer wakes up in the bitter fragrance of medicine.

She looked at the figure busy in front of the medicine furnace and suddenly felt at ease. She rubbed herself against the warm quilt and said half coquettishly, half aggrievedly: "Senior Sister, I just went out for a while, and I missed you so much."

Lian Hua came over in two or three steps and pushed her back onto the bed with heartache.

"Look at you, you just went on a long trip, how come you are injured so badly?"

Changxia chuckled but didn't explain.

She loves to fight, and she will get hurt after fighting. After being injured, she will go to Ruomu Valley to find Lianhua to help her heal her injuries.

This is the place she is most familiar with besides Zangfeng Mountain.

Outside the window, the old trees in Ruomu Valley turned green again. Changxia asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Lian Hua counted on his fingers: "One year, three months, and four days. Xia Xia, the fruit I saved for you has gone bad."

Chang Xia said, "I thought Shen Siyan would finish it secretly by herself."

Lian Hua raised her eyebrows and said, "He dares." Then she said to Chang Xia softly, "No one can take away what belongs to us Xia Xia."

Changxia didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about telling Chen Siyan about the bad behavior.

She was still young when she first met Lian Hua. At that time, she had just offended her senior brother from Chenxing Mountain. Although Bie Jingchun stabbed the Yunshang Pavilion with a sword, shocking many people, and he began to return to the mountain to take care of his senior brothers and sisters, he was unable to take care of all aspects, and there were still some brave people who came to find trouble with her secretly.

At that time, her cultivation was weak and she was being chased and beaten. She had no time to return to Cangfeng Mountain to find Xie Fengxue, so she ran into Ruomu Valley covered in blood. It was Lian Hua who saved her.

Healed her wounds, covered her with a warm quilt smoked with medicinal wood, and taught her to use poison to fight back against those who had higher cultivation than her.

The first meeting was so tragic that no matter how many years passed, Lian Hua only regarded her as a younger sister who needed protection.

She and Shen Siyan also became acquainted with each other in Ruomu Valley.

He is the master's disciple, but he prefers to go to Lianhua.

At that time, she liked to be reserved, so she didn't like Shen Siyan.

And Shen Siyan also likes Lian Hua, so he doesn't like her.

Because Changxia woke up, Lianhua simply stopped doing anything and started sitting in front of her, holding her hand and nagging her to take care of her injuries.

Chang Xia Ye didn't think of interrupting her.

When Xie Fengxue pushed the door open, what he saw was Changxia's obedient look.

It is much more compliant than when he usually acts on his own.

Lian Hua heard the noise and saw that the person coming was Xie Fengxue, so he didn't continue. Instead, he handed the person to him and left.

Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the room.

Changxia was a little scared of Xie Fengxue. Every time he took a step forward, she would move back a little. When she reached the corner with nowhere to retreat, Xie Fengxue was standing in front of her.

The young man said nothing, lowered his eyes and tucked the quilt for her. The mole on his eyelid that was originally barely visible became clearly visible.

Changxia couldn't help but move closer to him.

She heard Xie Fengxue say, "I originally thought you had fallen into some conspiracy trap, or entered some impossible situation, but I didn't expect it was because of a mayfly."

Chang Xia retorted softly: "He has a name, brother, his name is Ye Shuxing."

Xie Fengxue had already tucked in the quilt for her. He looked up and said expressionlessly, "Okay, okay, okay. I remember. His name is Ye Shuxing."

Chang Xia was suddenly stunned. She remembered that Ye Shuxing had said that his name was given by Xie Fengxue. Xie Fengxue obviously didn't recognize him now. After what happened in the dream, she actually had a very ridiculous idea -

What name would the future Xie Fengxue give to the past Ye Shuxing?

Chang Xia suddenly said seriously: "Brother, I remembered it wrongly. His name is Qie Xuxing."

Xie Fengxue: ""

"Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, why not sing and walk slowly. There is no wind or rain, and no clear sky. The person who named him hoped that he could walk freely and calmly in this world."

No one had ever told Ye Shuxing how to survive in this world, so she would tell him through Xie Fengxue's mouth. Ji Sheng had warned that the price of changing history might be high, but since she had already taken the punishment for Ye Shuxing, it didn't matter if she took a little more karma.

She hoped he would have a chance at a happy ending.

Xie Fengxue responded indifferently. He was not very interested in the name of the mayfly that was born in the evening and died the next morning.

"Okay, his name is Qie Xu Xing."

Chang Xia didn't want to say too much to Xie Fengxue, so he could only rely on his current trust in him and Ye Shuxing's indifference to secretly achieve his goal.

If she said too much, Xie Fengxue would find out that she wanted to change the past, and that might make him do something.

So Chang Xia changed the subject. She waved her hand proudly at Xie Fengxue and said, "I have some good news, Senior Brother. I have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

When she was fighting Song Jia, she discovered that the so-called tribulation was to break through the tribulation of life and death. Therefore, it was easiest to break through the tribulation period when life and death were at the edge, but of course it was also the most dangerous.

She had been stuck at the half-step stage of transcending the tribulation for a long time, always feeling that something was missing.

Half of the reason for this divine punishment was intentional.

Xie Fengxue didn't even raise his eyes. He grabbed her wrist to check her pulse and just said "Oh" softly to indicate that he understood.

Changxia moved closer to him.

"Brother, I've been in a coma for a year, why are you still angry?"

Xie Fengxue took her pulse and put down his hand when he felt that she was fine. He lowered his eyes, making it difficult to discern his emotions.

"I'm not mad at you."

He is angry with himself.

I was angry that the time we spent together was shortened by another year, but there was nothing I could do.

When he figured out she would be hurt, he was waiting, waiting for his apprentice sister to come back alive and well.

He seemed to be as still as a rock in Cangfeng Mountain, but in fact he had been wondering these days what was the point of being a fortune teller? He knew that his junior sister was going to be injured, seriously injured, but he had no way to stop it.

When he was learning divination, Zuo Qin told him that there are countless futures that have not been seen, but once seen by the fortune teller, the future will be frozen.

What the fortune teller sees is destiny.

There is no way to change it, no power to change it.

All I could do was watch and wait.

Since he couldn't change what he had already seen, he could only start with what he couldn't see, such as healing Changxia's injuries.

But no matter how good the medicine was, his junior sister still had to lie in bed for more than a year.

Chang Xia heard Xie Fengxue suddenly say something without any context: "If only time could go back."

Chang Xia smiled and said, "That's just what was supposed to happen happening again."

Xie Fengxue said, "So before I can turn back time, I must first gain enough power to change everything."

Changxia felt that there was something behind his words, but it was not clear.

Xie Fengxue didn't stay in Ruomu Valley for long. Zuo Qin called him away as soon as he heard the news, without any sympathy for the reunion of their senior brothers and sisters after a long separation.

Lianhua was teaching his little apprentice to identify herbs in the open space outside the valley, and Changxia was leaning against the window watching them boredly.

Since the fusion period, she seems to have rarely had such free time.

It was almost noon when Shen Siyan brought over two lunch boxes.

One was given to Lianhua and her apprentice, and the other was placed in front of Changxia.

Chang Xia didn't even open the lunch box before saying disdainfully, "I want spicy chicken."

Shen Siyan, with rare good temper, opened the dishes for her layer by layer: green crystal pork elbow, fried shrimp, and crucian carp and tofu soup.

It was so bland that it made people lose their appetite.

Shen Siyan spread the dishes in front of her, as if saying, "These are the dishes. If you want to eat them, eat them. If not, forget it."

"The patients are picky."

Chang Xia said: "The sick also have the right to eat spicy chicken."

Shen Siyan didn't indulge her: "Why didn't you think of your spicy chicken when you resisted the punishment from heaven?"

Chang Xia was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "He's begging to die."

With such a big commotion in the East Territory, the major forces in the four territories will definitely not listen to their one-sided story, so they still have to investigate privately.

Shen Siyan is the person who is in charge of this matter in the North.

Ye Shuxing's life story had been placed on his desk a year ago, and he somewhat understood why Changxia was so soft-hearted towards him - he was just a child who was twisted before he had the chance to grow up.

Because he thought he was just a toy created at random, he began to want to become a human being, so he did not hesitate to hurt others.

But when he found out that he was deeply loved by Ji Zhao and Feng Yibai, he could not accept such a miserable self, so he wanted to die.

Ye Shuxing's love and hate are straightforward, unlike that of a mature adult like his appearance.

He has been working hard to create dreams for others for so many years, and has been learning how to be a human being in a clumsy way, like a curved line trying to straighten itself.

But what is the difference between him and humans?

Most people in Cang Xuan have always treated their native monsters as the same kind. As they are all spiritual creatures, no one is more noble than the other.

He was originally a straight line, but he thought he was a curve, and then tried to straighten himself, but what he got was even more twisted.

Changxia may have raised too many children over the years, and she always feels deep sympathy for those children who did not have the chance to grow up properly.

"Although Feng Yibai arranged everything for him, even creating a fake body for him to lie in the East Territory, just to give him a clean identity after he got out... but after knowing the truth, he couldn't use Feng Yibai's body with peace of mind, let alone someone else's. Hundreds of souls were imprisoned in his head. Even if there was a way to return them, he had killed many people before to create a body. Even if the people in the East Territory could solve everything, Ye Shuxing himself knew clearly the sin he had committed..."

"He is the child of Princess Mingyue and Feng Yibai. Those two died for Cang Xuan. Even if he took a wrong turn, Ye Shuxing is kind-hearted. He can't accept himself like this. He can't live like this."

Chang Xia said calmly, "If that's the case, why not let him die? Why let him live in pain? Death is also a kind of relief, isn't it?"

Shen Siyan scratched his head: “I don’t blame you.”

Finally, he added, "Those old bastards in the East Territory didn't say anything to you this time. Master Zuo knew something was wrong with you, so when he went to pick you up, they even sent a bunch of spiritual medicines."

Changxia sighed. It seemed that everyone thought Ye Shuxing deserved to die.

That's why she wanted to give him a good ending.
