Chapter 75 Shugao Girls’ High School 35
Hearing his voice, the person in the coffin frowned unhappily. After the stagnant time was broken, his still brows suddenly became rippled with flowing water. He also looked lively, with his eyes opening and revealing a gorgeous scarlet color.
Seeing that the person coming was Jiang Yuelu, Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have no idea why he was here. "Why are you here?"
Why……
Do you even need to ask why? You ask this question as if you are in my home, asking me with a clear conscience why I am here?
Jiang Yuelu pondered, "Is there a possibility that this is my Yuanchen Palace?"
Xia Yi also realized that he was in a wandering soul state, and nodded to accept the answer.
As the King of Ghosts, it was easier for him to go to the underworld than to go to the Yin Palace. For him, places like the Gate of Hell, which living people could not go to, were as easy as going home. Yuanchen Palace was the residence of human souls in the spirit world, and it was the place where human spirits returned after leaving the body. Jiang Yuelu appeared here, so he must be dead, or half dead.
Xia Yi had no interest in knowing what his situation was.
Fortunately, after his memory was restored, he was no longer the silly love-brained man who revolved around Jiang Yuelu.
On the other side, Jiang Yuelu didn’t think much about it.
Although he didn't know that Xia Yi was the Ghost King, he knew that he came from the Ghost City and was quite famous. It should not be a problem for him to move freely in the underworld and enter and exit other people's Yuanchen Palace at will. However, he was a little confused.
Why is it mine?
Xia Yi asked: "What's going on outside?"
"ah?"
Xia Yi didn't seem to want to mention this matter, "Forget it. I'll go out and see for myself."
"Oh." Jiang Yuelu was confused for a while, and suddenly realized, "Oh, right, the priest said he led you to another place, and then you stayed here?"
No wonder he doesn't know what's going on outside.
Xia Yi's face darkened. He wanted to change the subject. It was too embarrassing to talk about it. But the man in front of him opened his eyes brightly and asked, "How did the priest lead you away? What did he do?"
Xia Yi said angrily, "Stop asking these questions."
Jiang Yuelu started to guess: "Well, you don't look like the type that can be easily deceived. He must have used extraordinary means. Let me think about it. What are you most interested in..."
His eyes lit up. "Is it an excuse to fight? For example, he said that there is a martial god in our Snow Village who is really powerful and no one can beat him. I see that you are very skilled and a genius that I haven't seen for many years. You can definitely beat him..."
Xia Yi glanced at him, "Are you making up a story here?"
"Is that so?"
"no."
Xia Yi answered straightforwardly, but then he thought again, if this was the reason, would he go? Hmm...
Jiang Yuelu studied his expression and asked, "Are you thinking seriously?"
"Huh?" Xia Yi was awakened, his ears turned red, "I didn't!"
Jiang Yuelu looked at him for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sometimes you are quite cute."
Xia Yi: “…………”
He was somewhat defeated by Jiang Yuelu.
Ghosts shouldn't have headaches, but he really did feel dizzy at the moment. It was as if he was trying to get rid of this strange feeling, so he started talking about another topic: "He used you to deceive me."
Jiang Yuelu didn't understand, "Huh?"
Xia Yi could only say one sentence, and seeing that he was still in a daze, he turned around and wanted to yell at him for being so stupid. But when he met Jiang Yuelu's slightly bright eyes, he was speechless, and all he could think of were the outrageous and stupid things he had done for him recently.
Yes, he was so stupid that he misunderstood the relationship between himself and Jiang Yuelu when he lost his memory, thinking that they were close lovers who fell in love and then broke up.
The priest lured him into the snowy forest with a sentence "He seems to be in danger". He was caught off guard by the magic circle that the guy had set up in advance. In addition, he had lost his memory and could not use half of his original abilities. In short, the body of the human female he was using at that time was shattered, and his wandering soul returned to the underworld and rested here temporarily.
After losing that body, he also remembered everything.
Jiang Yuelu, who spoke and acted in a clumsy way in front of Jiang Yuelu, asked others how to make him happy, felt sad for him like a wimp, and stood in front of him like an idiot and said that no one could bully him...all the stupid things he had done came to his mind, making him wish he could die again immediately.
So he pretended to be dead and lay in the coffin, ignoring the outside world. When he woke up again, he saw Jiang Yuelu himself.
It turned out that he came to his territory by accident?
Xia Yi was also a little confused. With so many people nearby, why did he choose to enter his Yuanchen Palace?
"Oh. I understand." Jiang Yuelu said suddenly.
Xia Yi said nonchalantly, "What do you understand?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "The priest thought you liked me, right? He thought the misunderstanding was true and that we were that kind of relationship before. So he asked you to save me...or something like that? I guessed."
Xia Yi's face turned pale, "Who, who likes you? Stop going crazy!!!"
After saying so many things, how come I only heard these four words... Jiang Yuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I know you don't like me. I've told you many times before, but I'm afraid it will be hard to face you when you remember. I understand you. Not only do you find it troublesome, I also find it annoying. Fortunately, you remember it now."
Xia Yi felt angry when he heard this, "Do you think I'm annoying?"
"Uh..." Jiang Yuelu wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but he couldn't adapt to the wandering state for a while, so Xia Yi thought that his silence was expressing embarrassment and helplessness. He stood up and his face turned into a big head effect with anger: "You really think I'm annoying!"
Not normal. Very abnormal.
All these abnormalities can only be attributed to the sequelae of amnesia. His memory is complete, but his relationship with Jiang Yuelu has not yet returned to normal, so he can't treat him with the original mentality. Yes, it must be like this. Otherwise, why would he feel depressed after hearing him say that he was in trouble?
Xia Yi wanted to change the subject, so he walked around the palace.
Before, he didn't know whose Yuanchen Palace this was, and he was too lazy to take a closer look. Now that he knew it was Jiang Yuelu's, he became a little interested. He had seen many places where souls lived, some were poor and had nothing, and some were magnificent but always empty. Jiang Yuelu's was a little different, with a dead person's coffin in the middle, and the surroundings were dark and hidden in the black fog.
It may look small, but because of the dark mist that has yet to be explored, it can also be considered mysterious and vast.
After walking a few steps into the black fog, Xia Yi suddenly saw something fluorescent. He walked closer and found that it was a revolving lantern that collected Jiang Yuelu's past life. He was not surprised that some past events would appear in the spirit world.
The three children that Jiang Yuelu was obsessed with appeared in front of him, and he noticed that he was very immature at that time.
He was also an immature teenager, but he was taking care of a few little brats like a father. Xia Yi suddenly understood why Jiang Yuelu was so patient when leading those stupid little teammates. He was just very good at taking care of children. That was the experience he had accumulated from accompanying them day by day.
However, the three relatives he accompanied died in the fire.
The flames reflected the redness of Xia Yi's eyes, and seemed to melt the ice covering his face, which made him seem less inhumane. He quietly watched Jiang Yuelu standing in the garden in agony, unable to move. If he could take a step forward, he could save them. He vaguely understood his torment.
In fact, Lord Ghost King seldom stops for so long in front of a mortal's revolving lantern. Compared with his vast and endless lifespan, Jiang Yuelu's years are like the breath of a goldfish, born and gone in an instant.
Why pay attention to him? This has to do with the person who has the same name as him.
The "Jiang Yuelu" who has died and no longer exists in this world.
"……Um?"
Suddenly, in the next scene, Xia Yi saw himself unexpectedly.
——He saw himself and Jiang Yuelu sitting in a dark and narrow attic. This scene tightened his breath, and time and space froze for a moment.
This is also his memory.
In the memory he had just recovered, there was a whole section related to a human named Jiang Yuelu. Later, he died, and the wizard collected his bones, and he also confirmed his death. But now, from this revolving lantern of the past, he got an almost credible fact.
Not dead?
Not dead...
Not dead!
Xia Yi turned over almost instantly, and his afterimage passed by Jiang Yuelu. During the time he knew him, he had approached him many times, but this time the feeling was completely different. He placed his hand dangerously on the back of Jiang Yuelu's neck, feeling his warmth, and the next moment, he pressed hard against himself.
Look at him carefully, carefully!
His heart was shouting the same words - if he had the heart.
"hiss……"
The merciless force caught Jiang Yuelu off guard and he raised his head in pain. He didn't quite understand why Xia Yi's temperament changed drastically in an instant and he controlled his body with a tough attitude.
Xia Yi was very close to him now. His frost-frozen face seemed to smell the killing breath. He stared at him intently. His red eyes had never burned so brightly.
The low pressure enveloped him, making the words he uttered word by word sound like sharp knives: "You never said you knew me."
Jiang Yuelu had difficulty breathing. He finally realized that his strength was totally unequal to his own.
"Because I really don't know you..."
"Say it again."
"ah?"
"How do you know me?" Xia Yi stared at him, and his hands became more forceful. "Say it again."
In this moment, he thought of countless ways, but the final results all pointed to a dead end. If he and Xia Yi fought, he would have no chance of winning. Why had he never thought of it before? Was it because he had never thought that they would fight? Jiang Yuelu was shocked by his outrageous trust in Xia Yi.
He could only give up and answer him obediently: "...In Flatiron Town. The first time I saw you was during the first exam. Are you torturing me?"
Xia Yi: "You can understand it that way."
Jiang Yuelu found that he was still waiting for her to continue with a ruthless look on his face, so she could only continue: "...At that time, I thought you were a permanent member of the examination room like Liu Shitou, but I didn't expect that later, you told me that you came from Ghost City and came to capture Qin Xue."
He suddenly remembered, "Oh, right. Qin Xue just came here. You want to -"
Xia Yi interrupted him angrily, "That's not important."
"But Ji Hongcha seems to be dead. Doesn't this matter?"
After hearing this, Xia Yi loosened his grip a little, "You killed him?"
Jiang Yuelu hesitated, remembering that they seemed to have a good relationship, "Because she also wants to kill me."
"I see." Xia Yi said calmly, "What a pity."
Jiang Yuelu was horrified to find that after he told Xia Yi the news, he didn't show any emotion. Sad, no. Angry, no. He accepted the life and death of Ji Hongcha and Qin Xue calmly. But before that, their relationship seemed to be far more than "captor" and "captured". Ji Hongcha even acted like a spoiled child to him - for Ji Hongcha, this should be something he could do only to someone he trusted.
Even the crow sighed after Qin Xue fell off the cliff. Even the "human-faced tree god" felt a little disappointed after seeing Ji Hongcha's death.
But Xia Yi had nothing.
--"null".
He is empty. Throw it in and it sinks to the bottom without any echo.
"You answered very well. But it's not enough." The pair of red eyes looked at him without warmth, and Jiang Yuelu felt with horror that fingers were scratching the fragile skin on the back of his neck.
"Don't try to perfunctorily deal with me by talking about boring people, or change the subject. Now I only want to see you. There is only one thing I want to hear." Xia Yi said coldly: "Do you know me?"
"Before Flatiron Town, before the orphanage, have you ever seen me?"
"Why do you know about the orphanage..."
“Hurry up and tell me——!!!”
The roar silenced the entire space, leaving only Xia Yi's rapid breathing. Jiang Yuelu nodded, "No."
"I'm sure you and I have only known each other for a short time."
An answer came to light.
Judging from his previous performance, he seemed to be depressed when he got the answer of "I don't know". But after hearing this, Xia Yi actually laughed. While doing all this, his eyes never left his face. Finally, he tapped his neck with his fingers, like a small slap in the face to confirm his cooperation: "Very good. Very good answer."
Jiang Yuelu: "...very good?"
"I'm praising you. And I'm happy about it. Can't you see?"
Jiang Yuelu: “…” He couldn’t figure out anything at all, and he was completely confused.
"You seem to have forgotten a lot of things and have started another life." Xia Yi slowly loosened his fingers, a funny and twisted smile appeared on his face, "I will let you remember slowly, we have a long time to get familiar with each other again, my good friend."
Jiang Yuelu had no idea what he was talking about. He had never been so confused even when solving problems in the exam room. He was stunned for at least ten seconds. Xia Yi looked at his expression and suddenly became angry. "Damn it!!! Those bastards in the academy tricked me. If I hadn't entered your Yuanchen Palace, this secret would have been kept secret forever."
Jiang Yuelu frowned, "Secret?"
Xia Yi was still talking to himself: "Very good. Very good. Since they have torn up the agreement, the long-standing relationship between the ghost world and the wizards seems to be able to end here. Hmm... is this a signal they sent? Let my people kill Ji Hongcha and Qin Xue right under my nose..."
He turned to Jiang Yuelu, and his gaze made Jiang Yuelu shudder, "I killed him. What? Are you going to kill me too?"
Xia Yi shook his head ridiculously, "No. How could I kill you? You are my only friend..." His hand slowly slid up to his face, but passed through it, pausing slightly.
Jiang Yuelu was surprised and asked: "...Why? Am I disappearing?"
"It looks like they've discovered me and are taking you back. After this time, they'll definitely hide deeper... Will I be able to find you again?"
Gotta leave a mark.
Xia Yi made up his mind, opened his eyes with a wicked look, and pushed Jiang Yuelu against the coffin. He only felt a pain in his Adam's apple, and a faint mark appeared on his fair skin.
Those burning red eyes seemed to look right through him. "Take this."
He felt a little weight on his neck, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the bead that he had touched with his hands in the classroom.
The last time we parted, I gave him a breath of fresh air.
This time, another one was given...
"What is this?" Jiang Yuelu asked.
Xia Yi opened his mouth, but the few vague words he uttered could no longer be heard. He was quickly leaving this place, and a powerful external force was pulling his soul back.
The last thing he saw was the silent and motionless Xia Yi.
He didn't utter a word, just looked at him quietly. The silence was like a huge mountain that overwhelmed people, and the eyes that looked like cannibals... Jiang Yuelu had no doubt that if it wasn't for the external force that took away his soul, Xia Yi would have tried every means to keep him.
If they could see each other again, he would tie him up with ropes, keep him there, and not allow him to escape - that was what the mad eyes told him.
Will we meet again?
He had no doubt.
Because in these few short minutes, he saw Xia Yi's most obvious emotions in history. He was no longer like a calm ice field, but had the undulating mountains. Fierce, brutal. Reluctant, at ease. Anger, hatred. So many complex emotions had appeared, he was no longer the visitor to the ghost city who could remain calm in the face of death.
He answered with a long gaze -
We will see you again.
