In the minor worlds, there's a special kind of villain: non-human. They might be hidden among people, in visible, tangible places. They might be ghosts, demons, gods, evil beings, fleshless and...
Chapter 044: Ancient House Transfiguration (End)
Xianyue's anger was gone, and he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He pulled Taoxing to sit down, lifted his sleeves, and the blood had stained the towel red. He looked at it again and again: "Did I do it? Did the wind blow or something scratch it?"
Tao Xing was distracted for a moment and didn't hear what he said until 080 reminded him, then he came back to his senses: "I don't know either."
Regardless of whether he did it or not, Xianyue pursed her lips and raised her sleeve to brush across her wrist.
Then, they both stared at the wound.
Xianyue blinked, and after a while, brushed it again.
Tao Xing couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
"I want to use illusion to make the wound disappear." Xianyue said seriously.
Tao Xing: "...How do I make the illusion disappear?"
"If you can't see my eyes, they will disappear."
“…”
After a long pause, Tao Xing cleared his throat and said, "Even though I can't see anymore, the wound is still there and it still hurts."
"Will it hurt?"
"What else?"
Xianyue recalled the time when he had a stomachache and when he lost energy...
He knew that people would feel pain when they were hurt, but he didn't think much of it. But now thinking back to when he had also been in pain, he suddenly felt a little empathy.
He raised his eyes: "You feel very uncomfortable, right?" He felt a surge of tension in his heart, and a stuffy feeling, as if he couldn't breathe. He asked again, "Are you going to the hospital?"
"This injury is nothing." There was really no need to go to the hospital. Tao Xing stood up and said, "Last time you were sick, I bought a medical kit. It's in my room. It has all the basic bandaging tools."
Xianyue grabbed him and said, "I'll get it." Before he could finish his words, he disappeared.
As he flew up the stairs, he looked back, very puzzled. He had just experienced a strong emotion. He felt a little distressed when he saw Tao Xing get up to get the medicine box by herself.
He came back in the blink of an eye, opened the medicine box, and picked up the gauze. "How do I use it?"
"I'll do it myself."
"No, I'll do it." Xianyue didn't give it to him, and the feeling of heartache appeared again.
I also feel sad and want to cry for no reason.
It’s strange. He isn’t the one who’s hurt, so why is he crying?
"Okay." Tao Xing withdrew his hand. "First, untie the towel and clean my wound with water. Then spray the white bottle with alcohol. Then wrap the gauze tightly and tie it up."
Xianyue did as he was told. It was inevitable that there would be stinging pain when spraying alcohol, so Tao Xing reflexively lowered her head to blow it away.
After two blows, his head was held back.
Xianyue lifted his head, imitated his movements, lowered his head and blew gently on his arm.
A slight itch passed by, and Tao Xing tilted her head to look at him, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Does it still hurt?" Xianyue blew for a while, then raised his eyes and asked.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then I'll bandage you." Xianyue took the gauze and wrapped it around. The arm trembled, so he quickly relaxed the strength, gently wrapped it around, and carefully tied a knot.
After finishing all this, he was a little overwhelmed: "What should I do next?"
"It's okay. I'll go up and take a rest. You should take a rest too."
Xianyue nodded, and after returning to his room, he couldn't fall asleep.
Upset and with waves of panic.
The human body is fragile and can easily feel pain, but he strongly wanted Tao Xing not to feel pain.
As long as it doesn't hurt, he can do anything.
How can I stop feeling pain?
He knows the feeling of pain, but isn’t every kind of pain different?
He paced back and forth, walked to the table, and suddenly an idea came to him. He picked up a fruit knife, rolled up his sleeves and cut his arm.
Same location, same size and depth.
A piercing pain came over him, Xianyue frowned, bandaged himself using the same method as before, then raised his hand to feel the pain.
I can't lift it up, it hurts if I do.
I can't grasp and it hurts to pick up things.
It needs to be laid flat, it hurts if it hangs down.
"Okay, got it." He put down his sleeves and pushed open Tao Xing's door. As soon as he entered the room, he was horrified and said quickly, "Put it down."
Tao Xing was drinking water from a cup when she was so frightened that her hands shook and the water almost spilled out.
Xianyue came up and said, "You can't hold anything. It will hurt."
"It's okay..."
"No, I'll feed you." Xianyue didn't think much about it, picked up the cup and handed it to him. Seeing Tao Xing in a daze, he moved the cup forward a little and said, "Drink it."
Tao Xing lowered his head and drank the water.
Actually...if he is not allowed to use his injured hand, he can just use another hand. There is no need to feed him.
After drinking the water, Xianyue continued to lie down. He put down the cup, turned around, and hurried over: "You can't let it hang down, it will hurt."
"How can I sleep without my arms hanging down?" Tao Xing raised his hands.
Xianyue quickly pressed again: "You can't lift it either."
"What should we do then?"
"It will not hurt if you put it flat." Xianyue had tried it before and lifted Tao Xing's arm up. "Like this."
Tao Xing: "This, it will still droop even when I fall asleep."
"Then..." Xianyue thought for a moment, "I'll hold you up while you sleep."
"That's not necessary..."
"I say use it, and I'll use it." Xianyue interrupted him, "Go to sleep."
Tao Xing: “…”
How can he sleep like this?
He pretended to close his eyes, and opened them ten minutes later, his eyes meeting Xianyue's.
He said, "I've had a good sleep, you should go and have some rest too."
Xianyue, be careful and stop.
The next day, Xianyue's hand wound had healed, but Tao Xing's had not yet healed.
Humans are fragile.
In order to empathize with Tao Xing, Xianyue cut himself again, and cut according to the degree of healing of Tao Xing's wound. This would cut the scar that would heal and would be most likely to tear, so no other actions could be done.
So, he went to help Tao Xing put on clothes and take a bath. He felt that these things had to be done. If he didn't, Tao Xing would feel pain, and he would feel uncomfortable if Tao Xing felt pain.
This discomfort made him restless and unbearable.
On the third day, the human's wounds had not healed yet, so Xianyue cut himself again.
Then he went to feed Tao Xing and give her water.
It wasn't until seven days later that the wound finally healed.
The weather was gloomy and there was a drizzle. Tao Xing had been well taken care of for seven days and was almost covered with grass. He got up early and went to the backyard to hoe the ground and trim the flowers and plants.
The window upstairs was opened, a breeze blew in, a red shadow flashed overhead, and the drizzle was blocked. Tao Xing saw the person next to him raising his sleeves to help him block the rain.
The visitor's eyes were clear: "You don't feel any pain, do you?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's great." Xianyue's joy was beyond words. She couldn't help but turn around. Looking back, she saw the rain falling again and quickly raised her sleeves again.
Tao Xing asked, "You seem very happy?"
"Yes, I'm happy." Xianyue said solemnly, "I feel sad when you're in pain. I've been so sad for the past seven days. I'll be happy when you're not in pain anymore."
Tao Xing looked at his expression, then at the sleeves he held up above his head, raised her hand and pulled him over, then walked with him to the bottom of the stairs. There was a corridor here so they wouldn't get wet in the rain.
He also said solemnly: "Thank you for your care."
"You're welcome. I'll take care of you like this every day from now on, okay?"
Feeding water and food, dressing, washing, and staying by the bed at night to support his arm...
Tao Xing: "Uh... no need."
There was a person beside the bed staring at him, and he didn't sleep well all night.
Xianyue frowned: "But I want to take care of you. I feel happy to do things for you. I don't know why, but I am happy from the bottom of my heart."
The slanting wind blew into the corridor, blowing his long hair onto the cheeks of the people around him.
Tao Xing raised his hand and rolled it up.
Xianyue came up to him and said, "I am willing to do a lot for you. I really love you. Please accept me."
Tao Xing moved his fingers, and the curled hair scattered in the wind. He smiled slightly: "I don't accept it."
Xianyue's face changed: "You!" He squeezed his hands a few times, and looked at the person in front of him. Somehow, he said nothing more and turned and left.
He walked very slowly, and his habitual gesture of waving his sleeves was gone.
He walked into the hall and sat on the sofa, with his head lowered, not saying a word for a long time.
Tao Xing walked in and asked with a smile, "Are you angry?"
The man in red wanted to say something but stopped himself. He bit his lip and said, "I'm not angry." After a pause, he continued, "I'm really not angry. You don't have to be afraid that I will tie you up again. Don't worry, I will never hurt you."
He couldn't bear to see Tao Xing get hurt in the slightest.
"I'm just a little sad." Xianyue looked up. The sky was dim. The lights in the house were on. The glass chandelier cast a bright and dazzling light. The face in front of him looked like a god under the light.
He looked a little dazed, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He stroked his chest, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Are you also very sad?"
"What?" Tao Xing had already sat next to him.
"Will you feel sad and disappointed if you disband the family and step down as the head of the family?" Xianyue turned around and said, "Well... although your life is short, there are many possibilities in the future. Please don't feel sad, okay?"
Tao Xing couldn't help laughing: "If I were sad, I wouldn't disband. Disbanding would be relaxing."
"Are you really not sad?"
"No."
"Okay." Xianyue thought for a moment, "You said it was relaxing, so are you actually happy?"
"Well, you could say that."
The man in red smiled, his eyes curved: "If you are happy, I am happy too." He shook his sleeves and stood up. The sadness had faded a lot, but it still lingered in his heart, making him melancholy.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you accept me?"
Maybe..." Xianyue looked around the house where the past and present intertwined, closed his eyes and thought, "He is a human being, so I should make myself more like a human being."
He found an idea: "The things in this room were all copied by me using my ability, so they don't count. I have to give him things in a human way."
He did what he said. He looked back at the person on the sofa, waved his sleeves, and disappeared like the wind.
He left suddenly, and Tao Xing had no choice but to lean on the sofa, half lying down and waiting for him.
He came back very quickly, and landed in front of Tao Xing in a gust of wind. His red clothes fluttered, and his long hair looked like an immortal. He held a large bouquet of roses in his hand, knelt on one knee and handed it to her: "For you."
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. As soon as Tao Xing turned his head, he was hit in the face by the flower. He raised his head from the roses and saw the person in front of him.
The person in front of him said eagerly, "How is it?" His eyes were filled with mystery as he spoke, "Be careful, there are surprises."
Tao Xing swallowed the question she was about to ask, took the bouquet, and found a small red box among the flowers.
"Open it, open it." Xianyue said softly.
Tao Xing opened the box and a sparkling ring came into view.
"Does it look good? Do you like it?" Xianyue said, "This is a very solemn ceremony for humans. It's called a proposal. It involves presenting flowers, giving a ring, kneeling on one knee, and asking, 'Are you willing to marry me?'" He pursed his lips, "Are you willing?"
"... Let's not talk about whether to get married or not." Tao Xing picked up the ring and looked at it. Such a big diamond must be worth a fortune. "How did you buy it?"
Where did he get the money?
Xianyue's eyes flickered: "Swipe your card."
"Oh." Tao Xing nodded calmly.
"What do you say?"
Tao Xing stretched out her hand: "You get up first."
"You look like you still don't accept it." Xianyue stood up as he did, really puzzled, "Isn't my posture like a human, or did I miss a step?"
The rose was placed on the coffee table, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Tao Xing held the ring under the light. The red polygonal diamond was surrounded by two circles of small silver-white diamonds. It was crystal clear, bright and luxurious. He held it in front of the person next to him and compared it: "I think it suits you very well."
He took Xianyue's hand and put the ring on it: "Why do you want to make yourself look like a human?"
Xianyue was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly said sadly: "Yes, no matter how much I imitate, I will never be human."
This appearance, which is exactly the same as that of humans, is really a trivial part. No matter how similar they look, they are not humans.
"I mean, you don't have to be like a human." Tao Xing said.
"But you are a human being."
"So what?" Tao Xing had already put on the ring and raised his hand. "It looks good."
Xianyue was stunned, so he didn't reject her just because she was of a different kind.
But he fell into confusion again and looked up at his hand. The ruby on his ring finger sparkled in the light, and his heart was filled with sadness.
He was confused all day, and it drizzled all day.
In the evening, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. I opened the window and saw that the flowers in the backyard were more lush and dense, like white snow falling on green satin.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed across the sky. He looked up and saw that it was a falling meteor, and its bright little tail disappeared in the air in an instant.
Before I could look away, I saw another meteor falling.
Then, another one.
Here comes another one...
Over the past hundreds of years, he has seen many meteor showers, but there is nothing to see. Xianyue sighed and closed the window.
As he raised his hand, he paused slightly, then turned and went to Tao Xing's room.
Just as Tao Xing was about to lie down, someone pulled her up and said, "There's a meteor shower outside, do you want to take a look?"
"Meteor shower?" This was not unusual for Tao Xing, who came from the interstellar space. However, when he saw the man's eyes flickering, he smiled and said, "Really? Let's take a look."
Then he stood up and opened the window.
Shooting stars streak faint lights in the night sky, like golden threads covering the sky. Although it is not uncommon, it is still beautiful.
Xianyue saw his happy expression and felt happy too. She put her arm around him and said, "Let's go out and see."
He flew out of the window carrying Tao Xing and landed in the yard. He looked up among the green grass and white flowers and saw that the thin light seemed to fall not far away, in all directions, as if surrounding them.
The breeze blows gently, flower petals fly like snow, meteors fall like rain, and the person in red flutters his sleeves and his long hair moves slightly.
Tao Xing asked, "Why did you ask me to come and see you?"
"Isn't this very rare for you humans? It's such a beautiful thing, I don't want you to miss it." Xianyue said, "It's a pity not to share this fleeting beauty with you."
Tao Xing smiled frivolously and took his hand: "Take me to a higher place, so I can see more clearly."
Xianyue's eyes lit up again and she hugged him.
His body lightened and he rose up with the wind.
There are many people watching outside. The once-in-a-century meteor shower is very attractive to people.
They avoided the crowds, flew over the misty fields, passed through the city lights, skimmed over the mountains and the ocean, and sat on the roof of an ancient building.
It was the place they had been to last time, with a red roof and high eaves, and it seemed as if they could touch the stars and the moon with their hands.
They could hear the cheers of people in the distance on the wind. There were old trees growing taller than the roof, and their dark green leaves swayed in the wind, brushing their shoulders.
Xianyue thought of the vague thoughts that had arisen in his mind when he came here last time, and his heart skipped a beat.
At that time, he wanted to kiss Tao Xing.
However, after a hesitation and the other party's glance, he gave up the idea.
Now, I suddenly feel timid, as if a kiss weighs a thousand pounds.
He changed his mind and said, holding his chin, "If you like, I will put shooting stars in our house later."
Tao Xing was slightly surprised: "Can this be reproduced?"
"I can't replicate it, but the last time I went to buy a ring, I saw a kind of light hanging on the roof. It flickered like stars and also changed to look like a falling star, exactly like a meteor. You humans are really smart. You can do anything."
Tao Xing smiled.
Xianyue continued, "Then, how should the house be decorated? You tell me, I'll do it. If it can be reproduced, I'll reproduce it. If it can't be reproduced, I'll buy it. It can be antique or from your era. I heard that you rich people like to live in villas nowadays. I should also keep up with the times and decorate my house like a villa."
As if a meteor was falling from overhead, Xianyue reached out to catch it: "When everything is ready, we can drink tea, play chess, or play games at home on rainy days. We don't have to worry about three meals a day. Over the past hundreds of years, your ancestors have cooked everything delicious. We have everything from mountain delicacies to seafood from ancient times. Let's go out and play on sunny days. You can drive, or I can take you flying."
Tao Xing nodded and put his arm on the ridge beast next to him: "You are planning for the future."
"Yeah, do you think I'm right?"
The breeze rustled the leaves, bringing the fragrance of flowers, and Tao Xing's smile disappeared.
He turned his head, slowly raised his hand, and held the shoulder of the person next to him.
Xianyue was slightly stunned.
Tao Xing moved forward and pressed her lips against his cheek.
A warm breath was blowing in the air. The man in red's eyes flickered. He suddenly became nervous and his face turned red.
Tao Xing pressed his forehead against his and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"No, I don't know. My heart is beating." Xianyue's voice was also trembling.
It’s not like they haven’t been close before, and there’s never been this kind of reaction.
"What kind of heartbeat?" Tao Xing put her hand into his hair and held the back of his head.
"It was very fast and chaotic. My heart was beating so fast and it was a mess." Xianyue's breathing became unstable and she could hardly breathe. "I, you..."
"I accept it." In panic, I suddenly heard the person in front of me say.
Xianyue was stunned, her heartbeat seemed to stop, and her breathing also stopped.
Tao Xing still pressed her hand against his forehead, her breath intertwined with his, her voice low but infinitely gentle: "I don't need your thanks, I don't need your care, flowers and diamonds are not enough to make me happy, what makes me excited is your concern for me, your desire to share happiness with me, your inclusion of me in every moment of your future plans, and what makes my heart beat is your heartbeat."
He gently stroked the face of the person in front of him, his fingertips brushing over the lines: "Actually, I just want your heart to beat. I accept it and become your lover."
Xianyue widened his eyes, not quite understanding, and even wanted to look down at his own heart, but before he could do so, his chin was lifted up and covered with a warm kiss.
The red clothes fluttered, and Xianyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hula..." Cheers were heard from the foot of the building. A large meteor shower fell, and the sky was filled with golden rain.
The people below couldn't see the high eaves. Xianyue took a deep breath, hugged Tao Xing, and kissed her beloved.
The world has changed so much over the past thousand years, but nothing compares to this moment.
A lingering kiss is no longer an appendage of indulgence in the dark night. It now brings endless joy and boundless excitement.
After some time, the time passed and the people kissing each other were reluctant to separate.
The sky was finally calm, and the people who were watching the stars fell asleep.
After the kiss, Xianyue raised his eyes slightly, waved his sleeves to embrace his lover, and carried him up.
The world fell into peace, the breeze blew the leaves, and there were only them in the night sky.
They returned to the brightly lit old house, fell into a more peaceful place, and continued to kiss without anyone disturbing them.
The huge refrigerator was like a mirror under the light, reflecting the human figure. Xianyue took a casual glance and was suddenly struck by lightning. He froze and quickly pushed the person in front of him away.
But Tao Xing held him tightly and didn't let him push her away.
Xianyue covered her face and said, "My cracks appeared again. Why didn't you tell me when they appeared?"
"It appeared when your heart was pounding."
Xianyue was shocked. Didn't it appear before they kissed? No, it appeared before he accepted it.
Tao Xing smiled: "No need to tell you, it doesn't matter whether she appears or not." Then, she kissed him again.
Xianyue moaned softly, and his heart seemed to fall into soft cotton wool, peaceful and happy. He hugged his lover tightly, and responded to him with a long kiss.
The kiss lasted until their breathing became sluggish, and they both pulled away a little, breathing heavily.
When they kissed again, the force gradually increased.
The buttons of the red dress came undone, and the two figures disappeared on the first floor with a touch of their smooth ankles.
The door to the third floor opened and the curtains beside the bed floated.
On such a fine day, the wind is clear and the moon is bright.
The thousand-year-old house is celebrating today.
In the days that followed, they really did what Xianyue had imagined. When it rained, they stayed in the house to read books, play chess and games. When the weather was good, they went out to play. They visited all over the world, and they could explore things they had not had the chance to see before in their lifetime.
As for the layout of the house, the furnishings are luxurious and exquisite enough. The second and third floors are antique, and the first floor is fashionable and modern. Tao Xing wants to add that electricity and water should be installed, and then the Internet signal should be connected. Without the Internet, it will be inconvenient to play games.
After the Tao family was dissolved, the various branches of the Tao family separated and made their own livings. When they gathered together before, their concentrated mental power was strong, and their perception of abnormal things was also strong. But after they dispersed, this mental power became weaker, and slowly, they found that their impression of the house spirit became more and more vague.
After a while, they completely forgot about Xianyue's existence. If the memory was taken away, no one would remember anything about the house spirit, who he was, where he was born from, what he looked like, and whether he existed.
They only remember that the last head of the Tao family lived in the old house.
Tao Xing reaped great rewards after investing in Wang Li's industry. In order to help Wang Li, he established the industry chain of this industry himself, but he was too lazy to manage it. Just like in the previous world, he found professionals to help him manage it and just waited to collect the money.
This industrial chain brings him very lucrative profits. In short, he is not short of money.
Of course, in the house, there are actually very few places where money is needed, after all, even eating does not cost money.
Moreover, he discovered that there was another benefit of staying in the house: he would not age.
However, going out will still change.
After a few years, when he was in his twilight years, the contrast was very obvious. He looked young before he pushed the door open, but when he opened the door and walked out of the threshold, his temples were gray.
Just a door away, it seems like we are in different time and space.
Xianyue is naughty. His appearance will never change, but sometimes when he goes out, he makes himself look gray-haired and walks hand in hand with Tao Xing.
After a few more years, Tao Xing's human body came to an end and he died of old age.
He asked 080 to check Xianyue's life span. Originally, this could not be monitored, but the system had said early on that spiritual energy would dissipate. Xianyue only had a hundred years left, and the time it would take for the spiritual energy to dissipate could be checked.
080 said: "There are still thirty-eight years."
Tao Xing has already left the original owner's body and is standing next to Xianyue.
But the other party couldn't see him.
He sighed softly, "I'm sorry I didn't live longer."
His body is already 132 years old, which has reached the limit of human endurance. He can't survive any longer.
There are still thirty-eight years left. For you who have lived for a thousand years, that shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?
"Host, do you want to leave this world?"
"There is no way not to leave." The original owner died, and the quick traveler had to leave the world.
The system responded: "Yes."
"Let's go." Tao Xing looked at the man in red again and turned around.
Chaos appeared before his eyes, and he stepped into the nothingness between the small worlds.
080: "Host, the reward for this world has been received. Please check. It will be doubled in each world. Also, the program says that the happiness value of the task object is very high. You have an additional reward of 10 million. The host's account now has more than 20 million."
"Oh." Tao Xing looked back in the chaos and smiled gently.
"By the way, the host's account balance is now sufficient to activate the mall function." 080 said again.
"Mall, what is it?"
"There will be some potions, items, skills and so on." 080 showed Tao Xing the store interface, "Well, but you can only buy one thing in each world, and you can only buy it once."
Tao Xing randomly clicked on the skill column, "Mind reading, invisibility, memory tracking... 20 million for one skill?"
Haha, even if he could buy it a few more times, he doesn’t have the money.
He rolled his eyes and clicked on the item column: "Charming Halo, Invincible Nutrient Solution, Long-lasting Cleanser, Death Escape Return Card... 60 million each, get lost!"
Then click on the potion column: "Life-saving potion, healing potion,...kidney-tonifying potion?"
"What a mess! I have no use for it." Tao Xing closed the mall.
"Okay, host, do we go directly to the next world, or take a break?"
Tao Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "Go directly to the next world."
It's a coincidence that he appears in two consecutive worlds. There is no chance of this happening in the next world.
Then there is no need to wait, complete the task early.
In the old house.
Xianyue guarded the corpse until it rotted.
Then, he waved his sleeves and reproduced Tao Xing's body all over the room, on the floor, on the sofa, on the wall, on the railing, and on the table.
He cannot replicate living things, only dead things.
The replica is also a dead object.
When all the corpses in the room had rotted, he waved his sleeves and made the rotten bodies disappear.
The house was empty again.
Xianyue opened the door and leaned against the threshold.
There used to be an iron fence outside this gate, which was later turned into a yard by Tao Xing. But after his death, no one took care of it. The gate was half-open, and I didn't know if the lock was broken or what.
But it didn’t matter. Xianyue leaned against the wooden door and watched the sunset. As she watched, she fell asleep for a while.
When I opened my eyes again, a child suddenly appeared in front of me.
Seeing him open his eyes, the child was startled and stepped back: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if you were okay."
This was a child of about five or six years old, holding a few wild flowers in his hands: "The door was not closed, I passed by and thought you fainted, so I wanted to check on you. I'm glad you're okay, I'll be out right away."
The child stepped back and looked at the house and couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother lives in such a big house by himself."
Xianyue waved his hand unhappily: "Yeah."
The child pursed his lips and handed over the flower in his hand: "Big brother, your clothes are so beautiful, just like the gods on TV. You are also very beautiful. Don't be angry. I really thought you were sick and came in. I apologize to you."
Xianyue lowered her eyebrows and saw the bunch of small white flowers.
He took the flower, put it under his nose and smelled it. The fragrance of the flower filled his nostrils. He stood up and said to the child, "Come in."
"Okay." The child was very curious about the house and followed him over the threshold.
Inside the door, Xianyue turned around and tapped him between the eyebrows: "Okay, you can go now."
"Ah?" The child was about to leave after just coming in. He turned around disappointedly and walked out of the yard slowly.
Xianyue watched him walk out and closed the gate with a wave of his sleeves.
The Tao family was right. Although he was not a god, he possessed powers beyond nature. As long as he wanted to, what was so difficult about bestowing blessings on people?
He gave the child an illusion, and in the future, the child would encounter many good things and have good luck in his life.
There's no reason, I just like this kid.
The door was locked. Xianyue held the bouquet of flowers, leaned against the sofa, and smiled slightly.
That night, it suddenly rained heavily, with lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
The next day, people nearby were shocked to find that the thousand-year-old Tao family house had collapsed.
The broken tiles and ruins were scattered all over the place, not a single intact piece was left.
They analyzed that it might have been knocked down by rain or struck by lightning. It was normal that the house, which had been there for so long, could not withstand the heavy rain.
"Is there anyone trapped inside?" someone said.
The search team searched carefully inside and outside: "There is no one here, and there is no sign of life. It must have been a few years since anyone lived here."
A child rushed out from the crowd and said, "Do you want to check again carefully? I saw someone there yesterday."
"Kids, we are sure that there is really no one here." said the search team.
"Can……"
"No one will be here." The person next to him continued, "The last head of the Tao family lives in this old house. He lives alone. Now the Tao family members are scattered everywhere. There are very few locals. No one will come here. Judging from the age of the head of the family... he should have passed away a long time ago."
The child took one look at the damp and desolate ruins and thought to himself that he was not mistaken. He really saw a person here, dressed in red, with long hair moving gently. He would never forget this person in his life.
