He has endured so many years of injustice, yet he has never given up on purifying and protecting this world. But what have humans, who have been under his protection, done all these years?!
Many of them have abandoned their roots, thinking that wearing a suit and eating bread makes them so-called civilized people; little do they know that a flower that has been dug out of its roots, no matter how beautiful, will eventually wither and die!
It's hard to leave one's homeland!
No matter how good Western freedom and democracy are, it still cannot change the fact that they are still yellow-skinned and black-eyed, and are the inheritors of Chinese civilization!
Song Mengmeng walked through the commercial area with red lanterns hanging high, and finally stopped next to the wishing tree that had been erected in the center of the commercial area at some unknown time.
Looking at the little girl in a bright red ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress) not far away, who looked like a doll from a New Year's painting, she hesitated for a moment, but still slowly walked over.
"hello!"
The little girl sitting on the flower bed seemed to sense Song Mengmeng's presence. She turned her head, raised her hand, and waved to her, happily greeting her: "I didn't expect to see a familiar face again!"
"Have you seen me before?!" The little girl's words caught Song Mengmeng off guard. She looked at the New Year picture doll in front of her with some confusion and asked the question subconsciously.
The little girl giggled, and after a long while, she winked mischievously, leaned close to Song Mengmeng's ear, and said mysteriously, "I've never seen you, but I've seen a Pixiu!"
I know you're a Pixiu, aren't you a familiar face?!
"Oh, have there been Pixiu appearing in this world before?!" Hearing the little girl's words, Song Mengmeng immediately perked up.
From birth until now, although she has always been cared for by her Qilin sisters, she has never seen her own people. Hearing the Nian beast say that she has seen the Pixiu, does that mean that there might be her people in this world...?
"Yes!" The Nian beast swung its legs and nodded slightly, a look of reminiscence flashing across its face for a moment: "But that was a long time ago!"
At that time, besides the Pixiu, there were also Bai Ze, Qilin, Phoenix, and Xuan Niao in this world...
But slowly, all the beastmen who once lived on this land disappeared from this world!
Not only the divine beast race, but even the later gods perished along with them!
When I return to this world, even if I traverse every mountain and river, I will never see another old friend!
Perhaps, if things continue like this, I'll soon disappear along with them!
The Nian beast lowered its eyes slightly, a momentary sadness flowing through them: "I think I won't be able to hold on much longer either!"
"Pixiu, tell me, where do mythical beasts like us go after we perish?!"
"I don't know." Song Mengmeng gently shook her head, walked over and sat down next to the Nian beast. The two sat quietly like this for a long time, but neither of them was willing to break the silence first.
In the end, the Nian beast couldn't resist any longer and jumped down from the flower bed, turning to look at Song Mengmeng: "Pixiu, do you want to come play with me?!"
Every year I come into this world, I am all alone.
They came silently and left quietly!
No one has ever talked to me like you have!
Maybe we really won't have another chance to be together like this again. Why don't you come with me to play for a while?
"Where are we going?!" Song Mengmeng reached out and took the Nian beast's hand, and the two of them walked together towards the exit of the commercial street.
The Nian beast tilted its head and thought for a moment before whispering, "How about we go to the amusement park?!"
The largest amusement park on the market was unusually lively due to the approaching Lunar New Year. Song Mengmeng led the Nian beast, bought tickets, and went inside together.
The Nian beast, which had originally been eager to come in and have a good time, immediately lost its spirit after seeing the restrictions around it.
She sat down dejectedly at the entrance of the tea shop and sobbed to Song Mengmeng, who was beside her, "Why am I so unlucky! I'm not a cub, I'm not a cub!"
The Nian beast isn't doing too well right now!
She wasn't always like this. Back when she was at the height of her power, she was a magnificent and valiant beast! Even in human form, she was a stunning beauty that would captivate everyone who saw her!
And now...
She can't even ride a thrilling roller coaster!
The world is going to the dogs...
"Perhaps I have a way to help you?!"
Song Mengmeng glanced at the pitiful-looking Nian beast and whispered, "What you need is offerings, the purest faith of humankind. Perhaps we can give it a try?"
"Give it a try?!"
How about we give it a try?!
Do you think I can still trust those people?!
Over the years, I have received more and more negative emotions, misfortunes, and curses! But the offerings and cooperation given to me have become less and less!
I can't take it anymore!
If you have the chance to see me again next year, I might not even be able to maintain my human form!
Pixiu, you know me. A mythical beast like me, born from human worship and faith, if one day humans stop believing in my existence and begin to forget me, then my power will only grow weaker and weaker, until…
Until I completely vanish from this world, I will no longer be able to take away the misfortune and disaster that humanity has accumulated over the past year!
I'm really tired.
It's not so much that I'm tired, it's more that I feel powerless!
