Chapter 195 All Mortals Will Die 17

The white flowers floated around him, and a few even flew into his collar, making him very itchy.

“Hahaha…what are you—”

His laughter was the only sound in the whole classroom, and he slowly stopped laughing. He looked across the students and at the teacher. Everyone was in a daze and had not yet come to their senses.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

“…Brother Yuelu!”

"Jiang, Jiang Yuelu - stop right there -"

How could he stop? He ran out of the academy and ran for another ten minutes before stopping. He propped himself up on his knees and breathed deeply, "Hoo...Hoo...I'm so tired..."

A lotus leaf floated before his eyes, with clear dewdrops rolling on it. Jiang Yuelu sniffed it and said, "It smells so good. Is it for me?"

"You know how to return a favor. You are truly the best god in the world."

Jiang Yuelu always praises the person she likes, and the little white flower dances in waves when she receives the praise.

Xia Yi, or rather, Little White Flower, followed him all the way. From a distance, it looked like a beautiful kite was floating behind Jiang Yuelu, and now it brought him lotus leaves and clear water. There was no human figure, but these things were accomplished. If you didn't know the inside story, you would really think it was haunted.

"Thank you." He took it and was about to drink it, but suddenly remembered something, "No - you, you can leave the attic?"

After he gave Xia Yi a name in the morning, the two of them lay in the attic and chatted for a long time.

It was also at that time that he realized that Xia Yi's divine power was unimaginably weak.

Even something as simple as maintaining his body was very difficult for him. After chatting with Jiang Yuelu for a while, he could no longer hold on... Moreover, this willful guy refused to admit it and insisted on staying with him for a while longer.

If Jiang Yuelu hadn't noticed that his hands had become slightly transparent, she would have almost been fooled by him.

Having said that, Xia Yi’s strength is weak, so he can’t go anywhere and can only stay in the small attic of the Jiang family.

But now, he can actually come out?

The little white flowers danced in the air to form the word "yes", but the traditional Chinese writing was complicated and the petals were soon not enough. Xia Yi went to the river and plucked a few flowers before he pieced together an answer.

"yes."

Jiang Yuelu touched the tip of his nose. "Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome... There are more convenient and shorter symbols that can represent the meaning of this word. Do you want to know?"

The little white flower touched his forehead.

Jiang Yuelu: "Oh, that's great. You can even create your own answers? Is that what you mean?"

The little white flower didn't say anything, but spun rapidly in the air like a supercar.

"I'll find a stick... I got it." He wrote a few words on the ground, "OK!"

Little White Flower lay on his shoulder and saw a check mark.

So he followed suit and drew a check mark in the air.

"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Yuelu drew another cross, "This means negation."

"It's yeah, it's awesome."

"This is a middle finger. Give it to anyone you hate."

The little white flower floated in the air, sometimes in the shape of two fingers, sometimes in the shape of one finger. Jiang Yuelu, as a teacher, was very proud of his students' intelligence, and he extended the course.

"This is the egg that my brother fried. It looks so ugly!"

"This is an egg pancake made by the best chef in the cafeteria. It's big and round."

“This is the sugar man.”

"This is a fighting bug."

…

He then drew a strange circle on the muddy ground, "This is a lantern..."

He paused briefly, his throat was hoarse for a moment, but he quickly said as if nothing had happened: "Lanterns, lanterns that my mother can make. Unfortunately, I have never seen one, but my brother said that my mother is the best at making lanterns in the wizard clan, and many people ask her for help. My drawings are so ugly, they are nothing like what she made."

Little White Flower listened very carefully.

"Hey, Xia Yi, do you know what lanterns are used for?"

He smiled and picked it up from the ground, as if he had really taken out an invisible lantern from the mud circle, and held it in front of the white flower.

From a distance, it looks like believers are offering blessings to the gods.

"Lanterns. Lanterns are lit during festivals to offer to the gods."

"During the Ghost Festival, they also light some. But they are not for the gods, but for the ghosts who are returning home."

"But when the New Year comes, every household will hang up red lanterns, not for gods, not for ghosts, but for people themselves."

"After all, there is no difference between humans, gods, and ghosts. Haha... If you gentlemen hear this, you will say that I am fanciful again."

The little white flower fell on his ear, whispering like a whisper, but Jiang Yuelu understood what he meant, "Do you think I'm right? Hey, Xia Yi, this is why we can be friends."

"To be honest, you've had a hard time these years, right?"

"It's hard to turn over in a small hole like that. I can't even go out of the attic. I can't get any sunlight, let alone good food."

His hand stroked the white flower by his ear.

"I originally thought that my brother and I were the most pitiful people in the world. We have never seen our parents since we were born, and because our ancestors did something wrong, we have been ostracized and beaten since we were young. But when I saw you, I felt that I have actually lived a happy life these years. I have food and drink, and I have a brother who loves me. But Xia Yi, what do you have?"

"So you must get better, better day by day. Not for the Jiang family, not for others, but for yourself. You have a name now, and you are free. You will no longer be locked in the attic. You can come to school today and go to the wilderness tomorrow."

"The world is so vast, there will always be a place for you - a God."

He stared at the sky in a trance, as if countless lanterns were flying high into the sky with wishes. Suddenly, he noticed something and turned around, but the white flowers were gone.

Standing under the skylight was the god with pale red eyes.

He was covered in flower petals, looking at himself.

"You...you can show up outside too?"

Xia Yi nodded calmly: "I have regained some strength."

"That being said... you recovered too quickly. Hmm? Could it be related to me?" He thought, what did I just do? I just talked to him a few words, how did he get the power?

Could it be that he has other believers?

His expression changed hundreds of times in a few seconds. Xia Yi smiled faintly, "I thought so myself."

No one knows that the saying that the power of God comes from believers is wrong. Even if there are thousands of believers, the God will not bother to pay attention to them, and the communication with God will fail. It is difficult for human power to compete with the power of God. On this unfair scale, the best efforts of human hands are not as good as the active glance of God.

One glance can bring me to orgasm, what if God comes to me on his own initiative?

Take the initiative to walk towards his only believer?

Jiang Yuelu couldn't figure it out. "Forget it. Such advanced witchcraft knowledge is hard for me to understand. Let's go home."

He stood up and pretended to pick up the mud lantern from the ground, "Hey, take this lantern back too!"

He wanted to play a prank, but he didn't expect that Xia Yi just waved his hand and the mud turned into gold, becoming a beautiful little lantern. Jiang Yuelu had never seen the ability to create things through the air before, and he was completely stunned.

Xia Yi picked up the lantern and said, "Don't you want it?"

Jiang Yuelu: "Oh, oh, yes, yes..."

He held the lantern, and the man and the god walked side by side for a while, but they were not as intimate as before when they chatted in the attic.

After a long while, Jiang Yuelu sighed, "There is indeed a huge gap between humans and gods."

After hearing this, Xia Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jiang Yuelu quickly came to her senses again, "However, there are things in this world that you can do, and there are things that only I can do. You can light dirt into a lamp, and I can... I can... I can skip stones on water!"

As he spoke, he threw a stone, splashing a series of water.

Jiang Yuelu: "Hehe. Can you do it?"

Xia Yi smiled, "I can't."

"That's more like it. How can you gods be responsible for everything?" He also knew that he was making excuses, just like bullying people, so he tried every means to make it more reasonable. "Then again, even if the equality between humans and gods is not reflected in strength, it is reflected in other aspects. It's like the seven emotions and six desires. Humans have them, gods have them, and ghosts have them too."

"After all, humans, gods and ghosts are still the same."

Well, he's brought me back again.

But after Xia Yi heard this, he remained silent for a long time.

The wind blew through the woods, rustling the leaves, leaving only the sound of their two footsteps.

"if……"

"Um?"

Xia Yi paused, "What if it's not a god, not a human, and not a ghost?"

Jiang Yuelu asked curiously: "Does such a thing exist?"

Xia Yi nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yuelu hummed, "That's really strange, he's not a human, nor a god, nor a ghost, he's the only one in this world..."

“Really…”

“It’s a lucky and lonely thing.”

Xia Yi stopped walking. Jiang Yuelu turned around and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes...red?"

Xia Yi smiled faintly, "The lantern is too hot."

Along the way, he was the one asking questions and answering them, and soon they arrived at Jiang's house. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Yuelu shouted, "Brother, brother!"

No one replied, and the backyard was not there either. Jiang Yuelu: "Strange, where did he go?"

However, it was okay that Jiang Rihu was not here. It was school time now. If she saw him coming back, she would definitely scold him. Maybe she would even get beaten. It would be fine if she got beaten at other times, but now that Xia Yi was at home, Jiang Yuelu had something to worry about.

"Hmm? What's this?" He picked up a piece of paper on the table. When he saw what was written on it, his face changed. "My brother... was called to the altar by the master?"

Look at the time, it was when he was causing a big fuss at school.

As soon as he left the house, the master sent a letter to Jiang Rihu by carrier pigeon? How quick! Jiang Yuelu slapped his thigh, "Oh no! I have to go find my brother."

If you just want to punish him, why not just tell Jiang Rihu?

Why go through all the trouble to ask him to go to the altar alone? There must be some conspiracy behind this.

Jiang Yuelu had been cheated since she was a child, so she immediately went to the altar to find someone. Xia Yi followed her and said, "I'll go too."

"...No." He frowned and thought, "There are too many elders at the altar. You have just recovered your divine power. There is no guarantee that you will not be discovered."

Xia Yi was very worried, "But..."

"No need to say more, you can't go, wait for me to come back." Jiang Yuelu refused to give in on this matter no matter what.

Xia Yi couldn't move in the attic, he was in a blocked state. He couldn't let him appear in front of the elders until he figured out what happened that year.

He walked out of the door in two or three steps, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he turned around and saw Xia Yi looking at him quietly, his brilliant look dimmed by worry.

He opened his palm like a trumpet and comforted him: "It's okay, I'll be back soon!"

A cold snort seemed to come from the bushes nearby. Jiang Yuelu turned around to look, but found nothing. He turned around and ran towards the altar.

But he was stopped by someone halfway, "...Jiang Yuelu."

"You? Who are you?" Jiang Yuelu thought she looked familiar. She seemed to be about the same age as him. "Ah, the clothes you are wearing... are you my classmate?"

He thought to himself, such a beautiful girl is so memorable, how come he has no impression of her at all?

After hearing what he said, the beautiful girl fell silent and stared at him.

The strange situation made Jiang Yuelu a little confused, "What are you doing... Forget it, I have something to do." Just as he was about to leave, he was pulled back again. He immediately became anxious, "Hey, you, why are you pulling and tugging?"

"Jiang Yuelu." She still looked at him straight in the eyes, "I am a man."

Jiang Yuelu yelled, "Fuck you, you have this habit - no, you are a man, what does it have to do with me?"

She, or rather he, suddenly heard an impatient voice, "Why are you talking about this? Get to the point first, or give him a punch to wake him up! Damn it, we are busy looking for someone, and he is flirting with the little devil king. I am so angry just thinking about it!"

Jiang Yuelu was shocked, "You... you... why is there another person on you?"

The voice was obviously that of a man. Could it be that he had encountered a ghost today?

"Jiang Yuelu!"

"Jiang Yuelu!"

The sound came from both the people who came.

Vaguely, it seemed to pull him out of the chaos. He rubbed his eyes dazedly, and this time he could see the person in front of him clearly.

Not a pretty classmate at all.

This is Leng Wenhan!
