Chapter 305 He Wants to Live on Him
The land master sighed slightly, a trace of helplessness and emotion appeared on his face, his eyes showed some insight into the complexity of human nature, and he slowly responded to Yang Xiangwei: "Lord Mountain God, according to my in-depth investigation during this period, it is speculated that Xiao Xinmei has such a ridiculous idea, and it is very likely that she is deeply influenced by those mountain spirits and ghost stories circulating in the market.
You also know that there are many such stories on the market today, which often write absurd things to attract attention. There are many plots that describe how, after a mortal marries a goblin, the goblin uses her magical powers to bring the mortal a mountain of gold and silver, helping the mortal to become successful. ”
The landowner shook his head slightly, his eyes full of regret for Xiao Xinmei's ignorance: "Xiao Xinmei has been weak since childhood, unable to do heavy labor like ordinary people, and it is even more difficult for her to gain wealth and status in the world by her own strength. Over time, she may have an extreme desire for a rich and comfortable life.
When he came across these stories by chance, the strong desire to change his fate deep in his heart was instantly ignited. He naively thought that as long as he married a fairy like Lingyu who was kind and possessed powerful abilities, he would be able to rise to fame overnight and enjoy wealth and glory from then on. ”
At this point, the local master's tone added a hint of contempt: "To put it bluntly, he just wanted to get something for nothing and be a gigolo. He totally ignored Lingyu's sincerity and only used her as a tool to realize his own selfish desires. However, he didn't know that such behavior not only hurt Lingyu, but also violated the morality and conscience of being a human being."
Obviously, the land lord strongly disagreed.
Yang Xiangwei expressed her understanding, saying that “He” had been “naive” once, and it was normal for the land lord who had just copied her time to be so “indignant”.
But some things cannot be discussed in this way.
People are selfish, and so are demons.
He was more concerned about another question, which was what Lingyu thought.
"Let me talk to Lingyu about this matter. You should communicate with the human authorities first and see how to deal with the matter of Master Qian's family forcing Xiao Xinxue to marry him."
"Yes, Mother Goddess."
…
Yang Xiangwei called Lingyu over, and looking at Lingyu's eyes full of expectation and innocence, she couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity in her heart.
But what needs to be faced must be faced. Yang Xiangwei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lingyu, I want to tell you something. You must be mentally prepared. Xiao Xinmei, he is actually a man."
Ling Yu's eyes widened: "Male? Lord Mountain God, are you kidding me? Xinmei is a man, a woman, how can I not recognize it?"
Yang Xiangwei shook her head gently, her eyes full of pity: "Lingyu, this is true. The land master has investigated everything clearly. Xiao Xinmei has been weak since childhood, and his family believed the fortune teller and raised him as a daughter. Moreover, he approached you for his own selfish reasons."
Yang Xiangwei also told Lingyu that Xiao Xinmei was influenced by the stories of mountain spirits and ghosts and tried to obtain wealth and glory by marrying Lingyu.
After hearing this, Lingyu stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
In its mind, it kept recalling every detail of its time with Xiao Xinmei. Those seemingly sincere smiles and caring words now seemed to have turned into sharp sarcasm.
"I didn't expect... Xinmei would actually lie to me." Lingyu's voice was low and hoarse, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
It originally thought it had found a true human friend, but now it realizes that it was all a scam.
Yang Xiangwei walked forward, gently patted Lingyu's shoulder, and comforted her: "Lingyu, I know this is hard for you to accept. But you have to understand that people in this world are complicated, and not everyone is as kind and pure as you. Xiao Xinmei's behavior is his fault, and you have done nothing wrong."
Ling Yu raised her head, tears in her eyes: "Lord Mountain God, I don't understand why he did this? I really regard him as a friend and want to help him save my sister, but he..."
Yang Xiangwei sighed slightly: "He was blinded by his own desires and made the wrong choice. But you can't lose faith in all humans just because of his mistake. There are still many kind people in this world who respect fairies and are willing to live in harmony with us."
Lingyu nodded silently, but the pain in his heart was difficult to dissipate immediately.
It remembered that in order to help Xiao Xinmei save her sister, it broke into a human's home and had a conflict with the guards, but in return it was deceived like this.
"Then...what about Sister Xiao Xinmei? She is still being forced into marriage by Master Qian." Ling Yu asked. Although he was full of disappointment with Xiao Xinmei, he still cared about Sister Xiao Xinmei's safety.
Yang Xiangwei said: "The land master will communicate with the human government. Mr. Qian's act of forcing a woman to marry him violates human law. The government will handle the matter properly, and Xiao Xinmei's sister will be rescued soon."
Lingyu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Lingyu, what are you going to do next? You can choose to forgive Xiao Xinmei and give him a chance to reform; or you can choose to stay away from him and start over. No matter what choice you make, I will support you." Yang Xiangwei looked at Lingyu, her eyes full of encouragement.
Lingyu fell into deep thought. He didn't know whether he could forgive Xiao Xinmei. After all, this deception hurt him too much.
But it also understood that Yang Xiangwei was right. We cannot deny all of humanity because of one person's mistake.
After a long time, Ling Yu raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "Lady Shanmu, I want to calm down and think about it carefully. I don't want to give up my trust in humans because of this incident. I still hope to find human friends who are truly willing to treat us fairies sincerely."
Yang Xiangwei nodded with relief: "Okay, Lingyu, go ahead. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
…
After Lingyu left Yang Xiangwei with mixed feelings, he wandered alone in the mountains and forests for a long time.
It shuttled among the dense branches and leaves, constantly recalling its past with Xiao Xinmei in its mind. Every scene was like a sharp blade, piercing its heart.
The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming spots of light, but Lingyu had no intention of appreciating the beauty. His heart was filled with resentment and confusion after being deceived.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yu finally plucked up the courage and decided to go find Xiao Xinmei to talk things out. He wanted to ask him why he lied to him.
It wanted him to tell it in person.
The moment she saw Lingyu, Xiao Xinmei couldn't hide the joy on her face and happily shared with it the news that her sister had been rescued.
"Lingyu, do you know? My sister has been rescued! Thank you so much for your help all the time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do." Xiao Xinmei said with joy in her eyes.
However, when he met Lingyu's eyes full of complicated emotions, he was a little confused: "Lingyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? Did something happen?"
Ling Yu stared at Xiao Xinmei closely and took a deep breath: "Xiao Xinmei, do you really not know why I look at you like this?"
Xiao Xinmei's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He subconsciously avoided Lingyu's gaze and stammered: "Lingyu, you...what do you mean by this?"
Ling Yu took a step forward, the disappointment in his eyes becoming more and more obvious: "I already know your true identity and the purpose of your approach to me. Why did you lie to me? I trust you wholeheartedly. In order to help you save my sister, I took risks, but you used me as a tool to realize your selfish desires."
