Chapter 115, Scene 29 "Mountain Honeysuckle, you lied."...
“…”
"Yu Yuanxiang!! You are really crazy!!"
"Hiss, Captain, you'd better let go. I'm almost falling behind them." Yu Yuanxiang turned around, frowned, and spoke in an impatient tone.
"You actually agreed to her, do you know the consequences of doing so!?"
"team leader?"
"Let go! Don't mention that again!"
"team leader!!"
He Yuezhe and Shan Rendong had already walked around the humans hanging in the air and came to the middle. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be wrong, Shan Rendong immediately interrupted them.
"Captain," Shan Rendong patted He Yuezhe's hand, took a few steps forward, and stood beside the two men. "What are you talking about?"
"Mountain Honeysuckle!"
"What's wrong, Captain—"
“Chi——”!!!
Tentacles stained with the smell of [same species] [blood] attacked from behind Yu Yuanxiang and instantly pierced through Shan Honeysuckle's chest!
Shan Honeysuckle reacted very quickly. She pinched her fingers in the air, and a long ice sword with blue flames appeared!
At the moment she drove the sword into the tentacle, the tentacle shrank back, with only the tip being touched by the sword. It then froze several meters back, turned into ice crystals, and shattered violently, falling to the ground!
"Who? Get out here!?" Tang Xiqin pulled Yu Yuanxiang away and glared at the person who had just attacked.
"Well……!"
The ice sword in his hand fell to the ground, and Shan Honeysuckle was caught by He Yuezhe who came jogging over.
She reached out and pushed the hair covering her eyes aside, then raised her eyes and looked at [that person] at the same time as Tang Xiqin.
[That person] was wearing a snow-white robe, with her long hair covered by the robe, with only a few strands fluttering outside. She was completely different from the [woman] the three people had seen before.
"You [occupied] a [human] body?!" Tang Xiqin protected the reluctant Yu Yuanxiang behind her and asked.
"A human body?" The person seemed puzzled. It shook its head. "No, not really. I just..."
“It just [exists] in [its] body.”
"Captain, let go!" Yu Yuanxiang was still struggling, but it seemed to be of no avail.
"Ugh!" Shan Rendong was just thinking about how to escape with the two of them after angering Him, when he suddenly felt a pain in his wound. "Minglin, what are you doing!?"
She turned around and saw Minglin squinting his eyes, holding an unidentified bloody object in his hand: "I'll bandage you."
"But, Mountain Honeysuckle, you know [that person], don't you?"
"Captain, I really have to go, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Your uncle's Yu Yuanxiang, you also know what kind of a ghost thing [He] is, right? If you don't want to die, then be quiet!"
"What are you talking about?" Mountain Honeysuckle suppressed the emptiness and intense pain in her chest, blinked, and pretended to be confused and asked, "Minglin, how could I know a [Deformed Species]?"
"Mountain Honeysuckle, you're lying."
"You are obviously also a [Deformed Species]."
"The same kind as the [Ming Jiao]."
"Captain, I beg you, just this last time, please let me go!"
"Yu Yuanxiang!!"
"I know that for the Deformed, betrayal is the biggest taboo."
"It's just that, Honeysuckle, since you have friends who are [Deformed Species], then you can't [betray] [them], right?"
“…”
"Captain! Ah!"
"Yu Yuanxiang, this is the last time. I'm letting you go. Next time we meet, I won't let you go."
"Well!!"
Mountain Honeysuckle looked down in shock, at the hand that was gripping the core of her life.
"Ming...Lin...?"
"Mountain Honeysuckle, get some sleep."
He Yuezhe pulled back her hand. The overly sticky blood of the deformed species attached to the life core of the mountain honeysuckle made her feel nauseous.
"Once you wake up, you won't have to make a choice anymore. You will be on our side, with no turning back."
"Because I will kill it."
"Your..."
"【friend】."
^
"Mountain honeysuckle."
"What?"
"I'm hungry."
"Nothing to eat."
"Then I'm thirsty."
"Nothing to drink either."
"Why is there nothing here..."
"Nothing?" Mountain Honeysuckle held his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Well, you're right, there's nothing here. But you have nowhere else to go, right? You might as well stay here."
"Who said that! I, I have a place to go too!" The boy pulled the hem of his tattered clothes, sniffed his nose, and shouted at Honeysuckle with an angry face.
"Then go ahead." Mountain Honeysuckle said indifferently, brushing off the dust left by the burning charcoal on his clothes.
"You!" The boy stamped his foot. "Honeysuckle, how can you say such a thing!"
Shan Handong raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Huh, you've been following me for so long, don't you even know what my personality is like?"
"You, you just look down on me and want to laugh at me, right!" the boy said angrily.
"No."
"You have it!"
"No."
“Yes!”
"No, no, I didn't, I really—"
"Just, just! You! Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?!"
"Nothing, I just think you're a little..."
"A little, what?" The boy turned his head back a little, with an inexplicable blush on his face, and his tone softened for some reason.
"...?" Shan Honeysuckle gave him a strange look, then slowly said, "...a little silly but cute."
"You! Mountain Honeysuckle!! You you ...
"What's this for? It's so noisy."
"You! You still said, you didn't want to laugh at me! You clearly—"
"Hey, you blushed first, so I thought of teasing you." Honeysuckle picked up the tongs expressionlessly and stirred the charcoal a few times.
Enjoying the rare warmth in this winter day, she exhaled a few times on her hands, moved closer to the fire, and rubbed them.
"I'm not blushing..." The boy put the snow on his cheek and whispered, "Ah, it's so cold..."
"You're so stupid, give me your hand."
“…W-What are you doing?”
"You," Honeysuckle stared at the boy as he stretched out his hand tremblingly, "seemed very reluctant."
"I! I didn't..."
"What's that gotta be up your sleeve!? Give it to me!"
Honeysuckle noticed the movement of the boy's hands with its sharp eyes, so it grabbed both of his hands forcefully, and then reached into his sleeve with its other hand and began to grope.
——It was a bag of life cores and a [badge] that Mountain Honeysuckle had seen countless times.
"What did you do?!" She grabbed the boy's neck and forced him to look at her. "Who gave you these?!"
"I... these are... me, myself...!"
"Yourself?"
“No, that’s not it… It’s, it’s a [Deformed Species]… cough cough cough… It’s a [Deformed Species]!!”
"Didn't I tell you you can't talk to them?!" Shan Rendong tightened his grip, then loosened it again. "...Li Fu, I'll say this one last time. If you don't listen to me, in this world, it's the same as seeking death."
"I! I'm sorry..."
"Tell me, what did [they] tell you?"
"They, they want me to go back with them... Otherwise... Otherwise they will kill you..."
"You agree?"
“…”
“…”
"……Um."
Mountain Honeysuckle lost his strength and fell to his knees.
"Li Fu, Li Fu, no, no, you can't agree to them..."
"You are a [fusion], if you follow [them], you will [disappear]..."
“Knock knock.”
"Well, Mountain Honeysuckle, I think I have to go."
"...You really promised them, it wasn't a joke, was it?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry... I don't want them to kill you..."
"Xiaofu, you are so stupid."
"W-what?"
"Xiaofu, [they] lied to you. [Deformed species] cannot kill [Deformed species]."
“…”
“…”
“…Ahem! Honeysuckle, you’re lying! I saw it a long time ago. That day, you deliberately sent me away because you were injured by them, right?!”
“…”
"S-Sorry! I didn't mean that..."
"Xiaofu, promise me that when winter gets colder, you'll go home with me, okay?"
"No, no! They'll find you!"
"It's okay, Xiaofu, as long as you can stay with me, I'm not afraid of death!"
"No, no! This time, you have to listen to me! I, I also want to protect you, once!!"
"But Xiaofu, you are sick."
"Sick...? It's okay!"
“Knock knock knock!!”
"Ahem... Mountain Honeysuckle, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself!"
"Squeak."
"Xiaofu!"
"Yeah! I-I'm here!"
"Xiaofu!"
“Huff, huff, huff, huff—!!!”
"Yes! —Here!"
"Xiaofu."
"Um--"
“Sizzle—!!!”
"Xiaofu..."
…
…
…
"Xiaofu..."
"Um, are you awake?"
“…”
"Why, are you unhappy to see it's me?" He Yuezhe put down his hands that were entangled in Honeysuckle's white hair, moved closer to her, and asked curiously.
"You..." Shan Honeysuckle's mouth twitched, "You are such a lunatic."
"I just fulfilled my promise."
"...Where is my life core?"
"I gave it to Yu Yuanxiang."
"...your uncle."
"You're cursing right after you woke up. Looks like Minglin said something you shouldn't have said again."
"Squeak."
The dormitory door was pushed open.
The two looked in the direction of the light.
Tang Xiqin, wearing a black cloak, walked in with big strides.
"Here, what you want."
Her cloak fluttered, and in the flickering light and shadow, a newspaper flew from her hand.
“…”
“…”
"oops?"
He Yuezhe covered his mouth and looked at the newspaper in surprise as it flew in the air, and then it fell suddenly on the coffee table as if it was hit by something.
"Oh my god!"
Tang Xiqin cursed under her breath, picked up the newspaper, walked over quickly, and slapped He Yuezhe's hand.
"If you hadn't been so diligent in spreading rumors these past few days, I would have given you a good beating for your mouth today!"
"And you, Shan Honeysuckle, don't think you can rest here just because you're injured!" Tang Xiqin said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll follow Minglin. You'll do whatever she does. Do you understand?"
"I understand..."
"Then, Minglin, you don't need to go out today. Just stay here and compile all the clarifications from the top brass that we've collected from the newspapers."
"yes!"
"As for what to do next, you should have an idea, right?"
"Well, but..."
"Don't worry about the Academy. You can do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it for you."
