Since Shangshan had spoken, Xia Xiao naturally couldn't avoid or ignore her. But he had his own principles, and he wouldn't do anything excessive! If he indulged Shangshan, she would definitely reveal her bloodthirsty and murderous nature, which Xia Xiao had already noticed when he used the machete. With that kind of personality, no matter which righteous sect he joined, he would be exiled, so he had to be careful.
It turned out that Xia Xiao had thought too much. He looked at Shangshan as if she were a real evil ghost, and she was indeed like that. But the help Xia Xiao asked for had nothing to do with those. Compared to what Shangshan wanted to do, bad habits could be put aside because they were not important at all, and there was already enough blood accumulated in its body.
"Help me eliminate the evil spirit in my body."
That kind of torture should be erased. This is a legitimate request, and I believe the senior will agree to it. Xia Xiao asked:
"Do you know how?"
"Yes, but it will take time. As long as I eliminate it, I can get rid of the sorrow."
Shangshan's voice was full of expectation and pity. Xia Xiao pulled off one side of her red dress and covered her smooth back. He was finally able to move, but he didn't trust Shangshan as easily as before. This guy was emotionally unstable and a complete psychopath. He had to be careful. If he wasn't careful, he might be used by her.
"Stay here obediently. When I come back from Nanshang, I will drive away your sorrow and resentment."
"Then you better hurry up, or I might ruin this in my whim."
"You should be more restrained. There are so many strong people in the academy. Even the uncles and aunts in the cafeteria have walked through the foothills and climbed the mountainside."
"What can you do to me?"
"They won't tolerate your eccentricities like I do."
Xia Xiao pushed Shang Shan away. She was wrapped in a red dress and lying on the ground. A sly smile appeared on her face as she looked at Xia Xiao, with some satisfaction, as if her ambition had been fulfilled.
"If you cried and screamed, I would be happier."
"I'm the one who's happy, why are you crying? Whether you're happy or not has nothing to do with me."
Xia Xiao put on a very cold attitude and started to dress. If it was before, Shang Shan would definitely say a lot of words in excitement, but now, she regarded Xia Xiao's coldness as the pain after being hurt by herself. Her revenge was successful. Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang's most precious, was played with by her at will, and she also left precious ** in her body. If the trace of consciousness in her body knew, it would definitely be angry to death.
The angrier Shu Shuang got, the happier Shang Shan became. She fiddled with her legs in a cool and charming manner, recalling the pleasure of feeling weak in her limbs just now, and muttered to herself softly.
"I feel pretty good too, but you're not clean anymore."
"You're covered in blood, how can you be clean?"
"Just keep talking tough. The more you do that, the happier I am."
"Well... whatever you want, then."
Xia Xiao really wanted to beat Shangshan up, but she couldn't do it, so she walked out the door. She could do whatever she wanted, just lie there until she went to Nanshang, and even better, when she came back from Nanshang. Xia Xiao didn't have much expectation for her, she just hoped that after driving away her sorrow, her master would come back and take her away. She couldn't control this guy.
After opening the door, Ju Mang and Xiao Ran stood quietly in front of the building, looking extremely elegant. Seeing Xia Xiao coming out, they all looked at him with concern.
Xiao Ran fell from the sky, his wings turned into slender arms, his slender claws turned into long legs, and white-red light surrounded him.
The skirt was floor-length, and she came to Xia Xiao lightly. Seeing Xiao Ran's glance at him, Xia Xiao knew that she knew what happened, so he shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was fine.
"This guy is quite fierce!"
Ju Mang glanced at the room, and Xia Xiao's mouth corners turned down helplessly, which was considered as acquiescence. With Xiao Ran here, he didn't mention it any more. It was not good to talk about the details, and it was not a glorious thing. But looking at the blue sky and sunny day, it still felt absurd, even a little bleak. Who would have thought that behind the blue sky and white clouds were dense clouds?
“It’s really fierce.”
Xia Xiao wanted to say something, but he hesitated and could only utter these words.
"Adjust your condition. We should set off the day after tomorrow."
When Ju Mang said this, Xia Xiao nodded, and then sat cross-legged in the courtyard, absorbing the gold energy in the metal crown. Even if he absorbed the energy for two months in a row, he would not be able to absorb it all. As for the messy room, just leave it as it is, and it doesn't matter what happens to Shang Shan Ai in it. If she had any brains, she would not make a big deal out of it.
Shangshan lay in the broken bricks and tiles in the room, unwilling to move as if she was asleep. She would not clean up the house she had destroyed. She would not even think about doing such a thing, and it was impossible for her to do it.
On the side, Xiao Ran glanced at her, and seeing that she didn't move, she put Shu Shuang's things into a cardboard box and carried her out.
These clothes, books, and small accessories of Shu Shuang were Xia Xiao's most precious things. He had his own things to do, so Shu Shuang did them for him, and they could not be destroyed by Shang Shan.
When she was free, Xiao Ran, like Ju Mang, spread her wings and faced the sun, bathing in the sunshine. Xiao Ran looked at Xia Xiao's figure and said quietly.
"He's so lonely."
"Yes, even though he has us inside him, he can't help feeling lonely when he has no one to talk to."
Xia Xiao has always lacked a confidant, and Shu Shuang originally played that role. But after her death, Xia Xiao was even less talkative than before. Although he still had things to talk about with them, he was not as happy, and he did not like to share many sad things. Xia Xiao has always been like this. He can still talk about happy things, but it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. He buried his troubles in his heart. As long as he did not want to talk about it, it did not matter who asked.
If Xiao Ran hadn't been there, Ju Mang might have been as lonely as Xia Xiao. He would have been basking in the sun in his own forest, like a tree in the human world, standing still for a long time. He was still the same Ju Mang, and Xia Xiao was still the same Xia Xiao. No matter how much stronger they were, or how many people they had met, they hadn't changed. But once something happened, the impact would never fade.
Finally, Ju Mang ended this loneliness with a long sigh, and snuggled up to Xiao Ran, like two big trees with their branches intertwined, growing together.
In this world, there will never be a lack of people who are still lonely even though they are in a crowd. Not to mention the distant places, let's just talk about this academy, let's talk about the evil spirit Xiaoyu in Xia Xiao's body, and the sealed golden spirit beast. At this time, they are in their own worlds. They seem to be enjoying themselves, but deep or shallow in their hearts, they all have an expectation, hoping that someone will come. They will sit together and chat as if they see themselves, or lean on each other, feel each other's presence, and sleep peacefully. When I wake up, it's still a sunny day.
At the foot of the mountain, in the familiar blue-tiled building, Ah Zhu fed Doudou chicken and then started chatting with Long Li. She talked about her experience in Goulongbangshi, which she had talked about many times, but every time she talked about it, there was something new. Long Li listened very seriously, but she was also a little embarrassed, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
In the past, not too long ago, half a year ago, she was still a typical member of the Goulongbang clan. Like her father and grandfather, she looked down on outsiders and felt that she had the most arrogant bloodline. Although her talent was not a genius, it was at a level that ordinary people could not reach. But when she arrived at the academy and was influenced by the environment here, she realized how ridiculous she was at that time.
Ah Zhu talked a lot, and Long Li smiled and watched, occasionally pouring her a glass of water. Ah Zhu was the type who couldn't stop talking, and kept turning her head around. Long Li knew she was looking for food, so she took out the dried meat her father sent back from Gou Longbang. Ah Zhu hugged Long Li and said that her sister was so nice.
"Eat less, this is too dry."
"It's okay~"
Azhu touched her belly, and when Long Li asked about Xia Xiao, Azhu's mood obviously changed.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Long Li, I'm going to tell you a secret. You must not tell anyone else."
"Okay, you go ahead!"
"I feel like...I like Xia Xiao a little bit."
After Ah Zhu finished speaking, he was in a hurry to explain. But after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't think of any examples to refute this sentence, or even any other arguments. She really liked Xia Xiao, and Long Li didn't find it strange. Xia Xiao was a mysterious man, seemingly cold, but actually very popular with little girls.
Long Li had noticed before that no matter in Yugu or in Haikou Donghai, Xia Xiao, as described by Ah Zhu, showed the responsibility and commitment that a man should have. Who wouldn't fall in love with such a person? Perhaps she could not resist his unique charm when traveling with Xia Xiao. That was something that ordinary princes and young masters did not have. Although his temperament was a little cold, he was not lacking in caring. A few jokes occasionally were enough to warm up the atmosphere.
"I think you have a chance, try to confess?"
When it comes to this, Ah Zhu becomes depressed. She says that she has asked before, and now Shu Shuang is resurrected, she has no chance at all. Hu Bugui told her yesterday that it was another Shu Shuang, who was also Shu Shuang. Although Ah Zhu doesn't quite understand the difference, she knows that she has no chance.
When Shu Shuang was not around, her chances were slim, let alone now. But Long Li didn't know anything about her resurrection, so she asked a few more questions. Ah Zhu answered one by one, although it was vague, but Long Li had a general understanding of the situation. Finally, she looked at Ah Zhu very seriously and told her that she had two choices now.
"The first option is for you to formally confess your feelings and see how Xia Xiao reacts."
"But……"
Ah Zhu thought it was not possible, and Long Li said:
"Maybe he's testing you. Although Xia Xiao doesn't seem like that kind of person, if you don't try it once, how do you know it won't work? If it's possible but you didn't do it, wouldn't it be a pity? At worst, you can break up and just be ordinary classmates in the future. The second choice is to continue like this, less than lovers but more than friends, this is a very good relationship and it can be maintained forever. Of course, the premise is that you have to endure loneliness."
Compared to ordinary classmates, Ah Zhu still thinks the second one is better. But Long Li knows that she will not give up so easily. Ah Zhu is carefree, but she takes her own happiness as seriously as the food in the cafeteria. Although I don't know if there will be duck leg rice at noon, I want to go and see it when I hear someone mention it. If not, I can eat something else, but if there is, wouldn't it be wonderful?
"I'm about to go out on a mission. There's some dried meat in the cabinet. If you want some, take it yourself. You're welcome."
"Have a safe journey, sister."
Ah Zhu was a little absent-minded, but Long Li didn't blame her. She was just happy for Ah Zhu. She was alone and lonely. If she was at the foot of the mountain like herself, they could take on tasks together and she could take care of her. But she ran to the mountainside every day, and it was inevitable that she felt lonely. Although Doudou was with her, it was not even a wild beast and could not even talk. It could only be kept as a pet, not a companion.
In the room, Azhu remembered something and Doudou found it strange that she didn't even eat dried meat.
"Doudou, do you think I should try it?"
Doudou barked, but no matter what it wanted to express, Ah Zhu was ready to give it a try. When this mission was over, she would come back to confess her love. At that time, she would bring Xia Xiao's favorite food to find him and tell him her feelings. If he accepted, she would have someone to eat with her in the future. If he didn't accept, she would eat alone like now.
"come on--"
Ah Zhu shouted loudly, stuffed a mouthful of dried meat, and couldn't help muttering that it was delicious. If only love could be as simple as Ah Zhu thought, but of all things, love is the most unfair. Ah Zhu also vaguely felt that she would not succeed, but who would be willing to miss it? She really thought Xia Xiao was very good, and he didn't ask much, and didn't need Xia Xiao to do anything for her, as long as he could stay by her side and eat with her. But this wish, perhaps, is difficult to achieve except when performing a mission.
Ah Zhu was singing alone in the room, celebrating in advance, acting silly.
