Wu Er was initially skeptical, then pleasantly surprised.
The doubt is that I never expected to meet the person I wanted to see in this place.
To my surprise, I saw the person I wanted to see again.
There was no hesitation, no shyness.
He's feeling frustrated right now, and if he happens to run into someone he wants to see, then he should just go and meet them.
At this moment, Kunwu was standing on a low hilltop, with his back to Wuer.
When Wu Er saw that figure, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere recently, but he couldn't remember where he had seen something similar.
Without giving the question a second thought, Wu Er flew forward directly.
Kunwu, who was standing on the mountain, also moved slightly, as if he sensed something, and then slowly turned around.
As she turned around, Wu Er arrived.
The two were face to face, eye to eye.
This sudden eye contact startled both of them.
After a moment of silent staring at each other, they both burst out laughing at the same time.
It must be said that the two are very similar, at least in terms of personality.
"We meet again, and this time it's not after hundreds of years."
After laughing, Wu Er spoke first.
Kunwu replied, "I thought it would be several hundred years before we met again, but I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"What a coincidence."
"It really is fate."
After chatting for a few minutes, Wu Er felt all the pent-up frustration in his heart disappear, and his whole body felt much more comfortable.
He didn't know why, but he always felt happy chatting with Kunwu.
Kunwu was also smiling, but there was a hint of fatigue in his smile, probably because he had been working hard lately.
The air was somewhat dry on the desolate, reddish-brown hilltop.
It's almost dusk now, and the sun has hidden behind the mountains, only showing a small part of itself.
The golden sunlight shone on the two of them, adding a touch of color to this desolate place.
As the sun set, Wu Er asked, "What are you doing here? This desolate place isn't suitable for tourism."
Perhaps feeling a little stiff, Kunwu turned his body slightly. The sunlight was also slanted, illuminating only half of his body, while the other half was in his own shadow.
"I've been feeling a bit down lately and wanted to find a quiet place to relax. Since no one was around, I stayed here a little longer."
Wu Er nodded and replied, "I see."
Kunwu also said, "That's how it is. We just took a short rest. Your arrival was quite timely; we happened to run into you."
"I've already said it, it's fate!" Wu Er smiled again.
He always smiled in front of Kunwu, and it was rare for him to show the slightest sign of dejection.
When Kunwu saw Wu Erxiao, her body relaxed slightly, and she felt a little more at ease.
Laughter is contagious, that's for sure.
"By the way," Kun Wu asked, "this place is so remote, why did you come here?"
When asked this, Wu Er looked slightly embarrassed and shrugged, saying, "I was forcibly conscripted by the immortals and have to stay in the Eastern Wilderness. This place is in chaos, and I don't want to risk my life for those powerful sects for nothing. So I tried to take a detour back to the Central Plains, but then I encountered a group of wandering demons. I had a moment of pity and thought I'd help them out, so..."
Wu Er said a lot. Although only a few days had passed, he had indeed encountered quite a few things.
However, he didn't show any bad expression, and he was quite nonchalant when recounting such a misfortune.
After listening, Kunwu thought for a moment and said, "You are indeed a bit unlucky."
"What bad luck? If you encounter something like this, you deserve it. Just accept it."
Wu Er suddenly turned his head to face the setting sun, his face full of sunshine.
He had come to terms with it. After being tormented by Bie Fangtianzhi, although he still complained about some things, there was nothing he couldn't get over.
Although it wasn't a good thing, it made Wu Er mature a lot.
When Kunwu saw Wu'er, who was beaming with sunshine, he sighed, "If only I were half as open-minded as you."
This prompted Wu Er to ask, "What's wrong? What's troubling you? Can you tell me?"
Kun Wu said, "What else could be new? Although I often live among humans and my habits are very similar to humans, I am a demon. With the Eastern Wilderness in such a state, of course I am worried."
Indeed, the recent period has been a disaster for both the humans and demons living in the Eastern Wilderness.
The tension between the two ethnic groups, along with that inexplicable illness, was enough to drive many people insane.
Wu Er didn't know what to say about this.
Seeing Kunwu's sadness, he wanted to comfort him, so he said, "Let me give you a proverb from my hometown: 'The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge.' There will always be a way."
Although no solutions were offered, this was the only consolation I could provide.
After hearing this, Kunwu also turned her head slightly to look at the setting sun, the sunlight bathing most of her body.
"You still have the nerve to comfort me? Don't you even consider your own situation?"
"That's why they say things will work themselves out in the end." Wu Er remained nonchalant.
Worrying won't solve anything, so why not be more carefree?
Wu Er's purpose in cultivating was not to achieve immortality, nor to gain power, nor to rule the world; he simply sought a carefree life.
Kun Wu composed himself and stared blankly at Wu Er.
"To be honest, I was really right to be your friend back then."
After saying this, the sun completely disappeared behind the mountain, the golden sunlight vanished, and a chilly night wind arrived.
That's how it is in desolate, treeless places; there's no wind during the day, but strong winds always come at night.
