After hearing their answers, Wen Ya thought silently for a while, then stretched out her fingertips thoughtfully.
A little light appeared on her fingertips. Wen Ya noticed that when the little creatures saw the light on her hand, they slowly came over with a sacred and respectful look.
"What is the boss doing?" Shiying asked a little confusedly.
"I don't know either." replied the Flame Lion.
After just a short test, Wen Ya roughly understood why these little creatures wanted to join her.
Although she is now a human, she still has some of her former strength. As long as she wants, her strength can suppress all ferocious beasts. And these little balls all have the blood of ferocious beasts.
"Are you really willing to help me?" Wen Ya gently touched the little head of the little ball closest to her with her fingers and asked softly.
"grumble."
They said they agreed.
Under the suppressive power of their bloodline, they cannot lie.
The little beasts weren't that intelligent, nor were they capable of deceiving people. Wen Ya withdrew her hand and believed them.
"Okay, come back." Duoer saw that it was almost time, lowered her head and said to the group of little balls below.
They looked back at Wen Ya reluctantly, then obediently returned to Duo'er.
"This is what they look like before they are controlled." Duo'er saw that they had all returned to their previous place, and she spoke to Wen Ya.
"I know." Wen Ya also nodded.
She naturally felt that the little balls had been transformed. If the person who created them wanted them to be obedient, he would definitely find a way to control them.
It was getting late, and Duo'er couldn't stay here any longer. She simply said a few words to Wen Ya and decided to leave.
"Duo'er." Just as Duo'er turned around, Wen Ya suddenly called her.
"What's wrong, boss?" Duoer asked.
"Be careful," Wen Ya warned, still somewhat worried. Although she hadn't noticed anything strange about Duo'er when she first approached her, she knew she must have been controlled before; otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed there and been trusted by them.
Duoer smiled at Wen Ya, then nodded and said, "Okay, Boss, don't worry."
Not long after Duo'er left, Wen Ya was about to go look for Gu Xunli. He hadn't replied to her messages, which gave her a bad feeling. Just as she was about to pack her things and leave, she heard the doorbell of her apartment ring.
The person coming over was Xingqi.
Xingqi looked unhappy, so Wen Ya quickly let him in. Wen Ya knew Xingqi's personality, and knew he must have come here for something important.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ya asked before Xingqi could speak.
"Yes, big brother." Xingqi said softly.
When Wen Ya heard his answer, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
"I think you should go see him." Although Xingqi looked expressionless, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Wen Ya didn't waste any time. After Xing Qi told her where Gu Xunli was, she immediately rushed over. Shi Ying and the others hurriedly followed Wen Ya out.
Gu Xunli was not at school. He was outside on a deserted hill. When Wen Ya went over, she saw him shirtless. There were many cracks on his body, and those cracks were emitting a red light.
"There's something wrong with Big Brother's aura." Shiying said with a frown.
"Brother, why is this happening? What should we do now?" Flame Lion asked anxiously.
"You can't go in." Xingqi glanced at them and said.
Wen Ya could see that the energy in his body was in extreme chaos. If someone went over there, they might be attacked by his power, and if they couldn't control it well, he would also be in danger.
"Why is this happening?" Wen Ya gradually calmed down when she saw Gu Xunli. She looked up at Xing Qi and asked.
Since Xingqi told her about this, it means that Xingqi is ready to explain the reason to her.
Xing Qi lowered his eyes to look at Wen Ya. He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "This is Big Brother's own choice."
Xingqi took Wen Ya to a quiet corner not far away, where Shiying and the others were guarding Gu Xunli.
"I think my brother should have told you about the great battle between ferocious beasts hundreds of years ago." Xingqi's eyes were a little distracted, as if he was reminiscing.
"Big Brother was seriously injured in that war. Although we successfully stopped that guy's plot, he escaped and got Big Brother's blood."
"Didn't he have a body at that time?" Wen Ya hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Fierce beasts all have their own bodies, but Longlong does not. His current power is all in the human body.
"Yes." Xingqi lowered his eyes and said lightly.
"Is that person so powerful?" Wen Ya frowned.
Is it powerful enough to destroy Longlong's true form?
"Brother's health is not because of him." Xingqi was silent for a moment and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ya suddenly raised her eyes to look into Xing Qi's and asked, "Because of me?"
"Um."
"He used his body in exchange for my rebirth?" Wen Ya still expressed her guess.
"......Yes."
Wen Ya just felt her mind was confused, a little touched, a little guilty, and a little angry.
She took a few deep breaths and said to Xingqi, "Can you tell me about it?"
"Although your power disappeared hundreds of years ago, Big Brother secretly preserved a little bit of your power and kept it in his body."
Hearing Xingqi's words, Wen Ya widened her eyes slightly.
She was well aware of her power, even if it was only a little, it was definitely not something to be taken lightly. He actually used his body as a container to retain her power.
"For many years afterwards, my eldest brother searched for a way to bring you back, but to no avail. Until that fierce beast war."
"With the help of that person's power, he found a way to resurrect me, but the price was him?" Wen Ya spoke, she felt her throat was dry.
"Yes." Xingqi replied, "He used his own power as a vessel to protect you and bring you back."
After Xingqi finished speaking, neither of them spoke.
Xing Qi lowered his eyes to look at Wen Ya beside him, and he said seriously: "He loves you very much."
Perhaps Xingqi had noticed from a very early stage that the eldest brother had different feelings towards the eldest brother.
When the eldest brother didn't even have a body and didn't understand love, his elder brother had already fallen deeply in love with her.
Although she had guessed this before, Wen Ya still had an inexplicable feeling in her heart when she heard Xingqi say it himself. She felt sorry for him, but also wanted to beat him up.
The human body is very fragile and can hardly withstand the power of ferocious beasts.
He gave her his true power, allowing her to smoothly accept the little power she had. However, he did not have the protection of his true power, so he had been tormented by his own power since he was a child.
She still clearly remembered that when she first met him, he was deaf, blind and unable to speak. He took all her pain on her.
By the time Wen Ya and Xing Qi returned, it was already getting dark. The small forest felt a bit chilly.
Gu Xunli was still in the same state as before, with no changes. He was not suitable to move, so Wen Ya stayed here with him.
Late at night, Wen Ya fell asleep in a daze. In her dream, she seemed to see Longlong as a child.
When she first picked up Longlong, he was still a pitiful abandoned little dragon cub. His body was dirty and covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.
Maybe she was just too bored at that time, and she, who had originally had no emotions, suddenly showed kindness.
She managed to get him some water and fed it to his mouth.
At first he refused to drink and she thought he was going to die. But for the first time she had a kind heart and wanted to save a little life, she didn't want to fail.
She forcefully fed the water into his mouth, almost choking him.
Thus, this tenacious little life was saved by her. Her consciousness was always by his side. She quietly guarded him while he was unconscious, drove away the little beasts that wanted to hurt him, and found him a lot of delicious food, just waiting for him to wake up and eat.
She stayed with him for three days, and he finally woke up.
His eyes were a blue that Wen Ya had never seen before, deep and beautiful, like gems.
Wen Ya could no longer remember what had touched her and made her want to keep him by her side.
Maybe it’s because the long life is too boring, or maybe it’s because he has a pair of beautiful eyes.
Longlong's personality when he was a child was completely different from what he is now. When he was a child, he was rebellious, awkward, disobedient, and liked to go against her. Every time he disobeyed, she would beat him until he did. So much so that Longlong's strength is also improving rapidly.
Not only that, he also particularly likes to bully new brothers and sisters and often beats them.
She didn't even know when Longlong changed.
Maybe it's because I've grown up.
He is no longer naughty and rebellious as before. He has become obedient, calm and sensible.
He no longer beat his younger siblings and he became a mature and steady older brother.
No matter how hard she beat him or how badly he was hurt, she had never seen him cry. But Wen Ya clearly remembered that on the day she learned that she was about to disappear, she saw Long Long's eyes redden.
He knelt in front of her and begged her humbly.
But there was nothing she could do. This was a fate she couldn't resist. But looking into his red eyes, she suddenly felt a desire to continue living. This was an emotion she had never experienced before.
Because of him, she has more emotions and experiences some feelings that only humans can have.
But she was not human after all, she could not have such rich emotions as humans. She had never even felt that Longlong had any other feelings for her.
