"Master, do you have something to tell me?"
Xia Xiao acted as casually as if he was taking a walk, but Shangshan smiled secretly. She knew that the old guy would help her, but she had not yet organized what to say.
"I wanted to thank you."
"Didn't I say that last time?"
"To put it in human terms, the grace of saving my life can be repaid by working like a slave in the next life. A few words are obviously not enough."
"Then you should also know the saying that great favors are not to be thanked."
Shang Shan smacked her lips and made a "tsk" sound. Xia Xiao was still as talkative as before, which made her almost impatient. However, his smile that looked like he deserved a beating made Shang Shan feel that he was deliberately trying to make her angry, so she swallowed her anger and calmed down.
Ah Zhu could learn to become like Shu Shuang, but Shang Shan couldn't. She stood there, silent, as if she had forgotten what to say. Xia Xiao looked at her for a few times, and there was really nothing to say. Thanking her was not important at all, just show up when he needed help. He was about to say this, but Shang Shan asked:
"When you can fully control the magic energy, will you return to Zhenxun to spend the last peaceful time there?"
"Well, we have to face the Yun Kingdom eventually. After all, they killed a lot of people."
"I can go with you."
"no."
Xia Xiao refused without hesitation and told them his plan. Now Yunguo was venting his anger on the academy and Daxia, thinking that his mistakes were related to them, so Xia Xiao had to face Yunguo as an individual and restore the academy and Daxia to normal. Only in this way could he not let down the academy and Daxia, and could he approach the darkness in a logical way.
Shangshan doesn't care about many things, but she pays great attention to the devil and darkness. She is the destructive side of the talisman array left by the ancestor of the spiritual contract. She absorbs the spirit of heaven and earth to have her current mind, and resisting darkness is her instinct. But the plan described by Xia Xiao does not allow for others.
"You can't withstand the attacks from the Yun Kingdom."
"You have to try it anyway."
"It's still too dangerous to fight a rock with an egg, but I have a way to make you safer."
Xia Xiao raised his chin slightly towards Shangshan and motioned her to speak.
"I will transform into a Pu Dao and go with you."
"no."
Xia Xiao's cold answer angered Shang Shan. She herself was not a person with a good temper, so she stomped her foot on the ground, causing it to shake, and then shouted:
"You can't do this or that. Do you have to kill yourself to be happy?"
Seeing Shangshan's angry face, Xia Xiao laughed instead. Shangshan and Shushuang have exactly the same appearance, and are charming no matter when they are seen, but they are petty. What kind of man can conquer her in the future? Xia Xiao suddenly remembered this incident, but Shangshan couldn't laugh, and scolded:
"Laughing ass?"
"Shangshan, I know you care about me, but there's no need to do this. I can't even carry that knife, let alone you. You can stay in Zou Shou Church peacefully, or leave a mark for the master and continue to see the beautiful scenery in the world. Don't you always want to go?"
Shangshan also imitated Xia Xiao's previous cold attitude and said:
"I don't feel like it right now."
"Then what do you want to do? You tried your best to transform into a human, and you said you wanted to see all the scenery in the world like Shu Shuang. She saw everything, but you stopped. Why don't you go to Xiyang, Daxia? Do me a favor and help me shock Nanshang so that they won't dare to target Daxia again. Or you can go back to the academy, it's so nice there. Anyway, I always want to go back, but I can't go back for the time being."
Xia Xiao started chatting, hoping that today's conversation would end here, but Shangshan lowered his head, closed his eyes, and whispered:
"I'm afraid you'll die, don't you understand?"
Her voice was very soft, but Xia Xiao gave up the idea of turning around and leaving when he heard it, and his face became serious. Two people who had nothing to do with each other ended up in such a situation because of the same skin, which was a bit embarrassing. But the feelings were strong, and all things have spirits, but the feelings between Shangshan and Xia Xiao were difficult to ignite.
Xia Xiao didn't expect Shangshan to say such words. His voice gradually became gentle and he comforted her.
"Don't worry, you won't die."
"Then what do you think, in what capacity should I pray for you?"
"You never used to say useless words like prayer."
“Answer my question!”
Xia Xiao frowned, as if thinking, and his face folds were squeezed together when he smiled.
"Friends."
"Just friends?"
"What? You still want to be my sister? Although you are older than me, you have been a human for a shorter time, so you can be my sister."
younger sister……
Xia Xiao narrowed his eyes, and recalled with a weird smile, thinking that he was quite a scumbag. With Ah Zhu by his side, he held a knife named Yun Ying and recognized a sister. In order to make himself even more scumbag, Xia Xiao decided to have an affair with Hei Huang when he went to Yun Country. Men don't mind having many women around them, this is their nature, but reason and responsibility make them know that it's just a thought, don't take it seriously, and even can't think too much, so as not to let Ah Zhu down.
"That's a nice thought."
"According to the rules of the Great Wilderness, I can also marry several wives."
Xia Xiao showed a wicked smile, which made Shang Shan reach out to hit him. After he flexibly turned around and dodged, the atmosphere became lively. Xia Xiao was in a good mood, and he talked freely, and the smile on his face finally brightened.
"I know you don't want our relationship to be strained, but you don't have to be so polite. I relied on you to travel the world, so saving you once is not a big deal. Also, I have plans in mind for everything. When we go to Yun Country in more than a month, I will definitely expose the evil ways and dark organizations in the world."
Shangshan has always remembered that Xia Xiao has helped her more than once or twice, but it is not easy to say it now, so she asked:
"When will you be back?"
"It would be strange if I had an exact time, but you will definitely know when I come back."
"Don't be funny, why don't you look for your Ah Zhu first when you come back?"
"We have to look for them, but we have to destroy that organization first. It's also possible that I won't come back and send a signal to Master, and then you can come and crush all those termites to death."
"interesting."
Shangshan raised one corner of his mouth, and his mood became much better, no longer as depressed as before.
"Go ahead, she's been watching you."
Shangshan glanced behind him, and Xia Xiao followed him, but the window of the carriage was slammed shut, and the girl inside was obviously a little guilty. Peeping at others is not a good habit worth promoting. But Xia Xiao stopped and did not leave immediately, smiling:
"No hurry, I always say one thing and she dare not say two."
"fart!"
Shangshan finished speaking and walked over there first. Xia Xiao walked side by side with her, casually and naturally, and finally said:
"You're becoming more and more like a real person."
Shangshan was stunned for a moment, but Xia Xiao walked past her and headed straight for the carriage. He was that kind of person, saying whatever he wanted, but knowing exactly what to do. But just as he said, Shangshan was really becoming more and more like a person, from a collection of resentment at the beginning to a person with emotions. The difference between people and objects lies in the richness of emotions and wisdom.
Shangshan watched Xia Xiao enter the carriage and smiled slightly. She rarely smiled, so this simple action made her look stiff, but she felt much better in her heart. She never liked to dwell on trivial matters.
"Hey, you said you were happy?"
Qing Xunzi had stood behind Shangshan without him noticing, which made Shangshan feel helpless. He cursed:
"Why are you haunting me? I don't need you now."
"Hey! You little girl, you begged me for help when you needed me, but now that your goal has been achieved, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"I didn't ask you to."
Shangshan shrugged and got on the carriage. Qingxunzi stood outside, took a sip of hot tea, looked at Xia Xiao and Azhu's carriage, and found their bickering funny.
"Young people, that's great!"
Qing Xunzi stopped listening and sat in the carriage with the steward to discuss the next plan. The influence of the Zou Shou Church has always been great, but the peace morality it promotes is becoming increasingly difficult to accept. If they don't keep up with the times, they will be eliminated.
The principle is simple, but it is difficult to innovate. Fortunately, Qing Xunzi has witnessed the proposal and determination of a systematic practice method, as well as a series of innovations afterwards, so he is confident in facing anything. However, he always feels that innovation is useless, because the significance of the existence of the Zou Shou Church will soon be reflected. After that, the church can be disbanded. As for why, it is related to what Xia Xiao is about to experience.
In the carriage, Ah Zhu stared at Xia Xiao angrily and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Well, you're flirting now? Oh, you hide when I hit you, what are you talking about with a smile? Are you getting engaged?"
"No! Just tell her not to be so polite. We are all friends. Just come and help me if I need help in the future."
"Really? Do you treat her as a friend or a wife? By the way, how many wives do you plan to marry?"
"Did you hear all this?"
Xia Xiao was a little surprised, but Azhu's face quickly turned cold. He raised his fist and punched Xia Xiao hard on the arm and chest, making him beg for mercy.
"Don't hit me, Niuniu. I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't say whatever I think."
"What else?"
The wrinkles on Xia Xiao's face twisted together. Anything else? Ah Zhu guessed what he was thinking, and the latter immediately got angry.
"Look! You just think you're not wrong. Do you think I'm being unreasonable? If you just give me a perfunctory response, you're going to lose me!"
Ah Zhu broke away from Xia Xiao's arms and embrace, and pushed out of the carriage. Xia Xiao pulled him back and pressed him on his buttocks. Xia Xiao gradually lowered his face and began to kiss him forcefully. Ah Zhu was not happy at first, but soon cooperated with Xia Xiao, and finally they were entangled together.
After a long time, Ah Zhu snorted and began to struggle again. Xia Xiao held her tightly and made her beg for mercy:
"I won't make trouble anymore, let me go!"
"I won't let go. Didn't you say I wouldn't accompany you? I'm sticking to you today."
"You can do the same thing when you get out of the carriage if you have the guts."
Ah Zhu took advantage of the gap to get out of Xia Xiao's arms and ran out of the carriage. Xia Xiao followed behind her and jumped on her back, causing her to stumble a few steps and steady herself. Before she could open her mouth to blame him, the church members around her had already cast surprised glances at her. It was still daytime, wasn't it a bit inappropriate to show off their affection like this? And were they really not afraid that their elder sister would see them and get angry? They all looked at the carriage of Shangshan at the same time and quickly moved away.
With so many people watching, Ah Zhu blushed and dared not speak. Xia Xiao led her back to the carriage while laughing secretly, listening to her constant blame.
