Chapter 2727 Murong, you are just like this
The black dragon's claws grabbed the white snake's body, but it couldn't pierce the scales on the snake's skin. The black dragon was pulled into Xixi Lake, and the dragon and the snake rolled in the water, causing huge waves.
Another high wave crashed down, and those on the shore ran into the mist. Those who couldn't get in were swept into the lake. Wen Lanzhi's barrier remained firm, and the water flowed around it.
Her eyes were fixed on the afterimage of the white snake. She couldn't see whether he was injured or not, nor could she tell who had the upper hand. She just kept repeating Wu Ci Yan in her heart.
Murong went to the shore and wanted to take Wen Lanzhi away, but she tried many ways but couldn't break through the barrier.
Wen Lanzhi said: "I don't know how to solve it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barrier turned back into a black purse and was tied around Wen Lanzhi's waist.
Murong was startled, and another wave came over. She pulled Wen Lanzhi up and escaped into the fog.
"Wu Ciyan..."
"Wu Ciyan will be fine," Murong interrupted. "I've been watching for a while, and that black dragon can't defeat him. Let's take these people and leave first."
She stretched out her hand and held up a golden light. The golden light was very bright and penetrated the fog. Even people who were trapped in the illusion could see the golden light.
Murong's voice lingered above the fog. "Everyone, keep following the golden light, and you'll be out of the fog. No matter what appears before your eyes, as long as the golden light remains, you're still in the fog. Keep going, keep following the golden light."
As she was walking, Murong saw a Taoist going the other way. She stopped him and said, "There's danger ahead."
The Taoist shook off her arm and said, "I'm going to look for Qin Qingguo."
Murong said, "Qin Qingguo's whereabouts are unknown. The black dragon at the bottom of Xixi Lake has escaped its seal and is wreaking havoc in Xixi Lake. Going there will mean death."
The Taoist ignored him and continued walking in the opposite direction.
Murong turned around and stared at the back of his head.
The Taoist walked away for a while, then suddenly turned around, looked at her dazedly, and said word by word, "What do you want to tell me?"
Murong said, "Follow the golden light."
The Taoist said, "Okay."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What kind of magic is this?"
Murong said, "Charm techniques. After I sent Qin Xi and Yun Xi back that day, I asked them for advice. I came back and studied it, but I haven't figured it out yet. My success was purely coincidental."
Wen Lanzhi said: "But he wants to die, why do we have to save him?"
Murong said, "No matter what he thinks, no matter whether he hates me or thanks me after he gets out, it doesn't matter. I'm a deity, and saving people is my duty. I'm just fulfilling my duty. Anyone can watch someone die without helping, but I can't. I live in a beautiful palace, eat food that others can't eat, so I have to do things that others don't do, and take care of things that others can't control, and fulfill my responsibilities."
Murong led her out of the fog, then turned and walked back into the fog.
At this moment, in Murong's eyes, she was no different from others.
She turned her head and saw the people who had been chasing her just now, and quietly moved away from them.
In fact, when Murong left, she told her that she could go back to the inn, but she wanted to wait a little longer because she was afraid that Wu Ci Yan would get separated from her.
The next morning, the fog began to dissipate, revealing the original appearance of the forest.
Murong came out for the last time, almost exhausted.
Wen Lanzhi looked at her, then looked behind her, but did not see Wu Ci Yan.
She held the purse at her waist and asked, "Sister Murong, has the fog cleared?"
Murong took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Let's go. Go ahead."
After getting permission, Wen Lanzhi immediately ran inside, calling Wu Ciyan's name as she ran.
When she saw Murong's expression, she knew Wu Ciyan was fine. She was ecstatic, yet uncontrollably nervous. Every time she called out, her heart trembled, and when she didn't get a response, it stung.
"Here." A familiar voice responded.
Wen Lanzhi's heart tightened. She turned around and saw Wu Ciyan sitting under a tree.
She lunged forward, scraping her entire calf against the ground. She frowned and cried out, not knowing if it was the pain from her knee or the pain from her heart. "You've lost a lot of blood."
Wu Ciyan flicked her head and said, "Nonsense, this is all the blood of that dragon."
"Really?" Wen Lanzhi said and was about to bury her head in his arms.
"Ah hey hey hey!" Wu Ciyan pressed his palm against her forehead, "If you stick to me, your face will be covered in blood in a moment. It will be scary."
He placed his finger on Wen Lanzhi's lips and said half-warningly and half-jokingly: "I'm not injured, just a little tired. Killing the Black Dragon without any injury is my record. You, don't go out and talk nonsense!"
Wen Lanzhi stared at him and suddenly laughed out loud. She wiped her tears and threatened: "I won't. If you want me to stop talking nonsense, you have to kiss me."
Wu Ci Yan sat up, pressed her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead lightly.
Wen Lanzhi's heart, which had been hanging for a day and a night, finally settled down at this moment.
She touched Wu Ciyan's hair, touched Wu Ciyan's ears, touched Wu Ciyan's eyes, nose, and mouth. Nothing was missing and everything was intact.
Wu Ci Yan took out two large black beads from somewhere, which were twice as big as the night pearls.
Wen Lanzhi exclaimed "Wow".
Wu Ciyan said, "This is a dragon's eye. Even a small one is priceless. When the time comes, I'll have someone cut it into small beads. I'll also chop off the dragon's horn and make you a hairpin."
After a while, he put his face close to Wen Lanzhi and asked, "Can you wear it?"
Wen Lanzhi didn't say anything. She lay on Wu Ciyan's chest, listening to the beating of his heart.
Wu Ciyan said, "I saw others wearing it, swinging it around, and it looked really nice. You like running, so it would definitely look good on your head."
"Then we need to make one that reaches down to the shoulders," Wen Lanzhi said.
Wu Ciyan said, "Then why don't you hit him in the face when you run? If you hit him in the eyes, he'll go blind."
Wen Lanzhi said: "No, I want it!"
Wu Ciyan compromised, "Okay, okay."
Wen Lanzhi buried her head in his clothes, then suddenly sat up and said, "You stink. Let's go back to the inn and take a shower."
"Tsk!" Wu Ci Yan really wanted to kick out this guy who ruined the atmosphere.
He had almost rested and stood up. "Let's go find Murong and go back."
After the three met, they prepared to go to the inn together.
Wu Ci Yan originally planned to go back to the imperial city directly, but it seemed that Murong had something else to say to him.
Wu Ciyan took off the purse from Wen Lanzhi's waist and tied it back around his own waist.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What's going on with this purse?"
Wu Ciyan said, "I cast a spell on it. If it senses danger, it will protect you. If you feel safe, say 'release' and it will automatically open."
After the three of them finished washing up and changed into new clothes, Wu Ci Yan saw that Murong didn't say anything, so he prepared to take Wen Lanzhi to the imperial city to sleep.
"I have something to tell you." Murong said.
Wu Ciyan said "hmm" and touched Wen Lanzhi's head. "You should go to sleep first. We'll go back when you wake up."
Wen Lanzhi was so sleepy that she just took a nap in the bathtub. If Wu Ciyan hadn't come in and seen her, she would have drowned in it.
Wu Ci Yan was speechless at the time. He was not killed by the black dragon's tail, but was killed by the water while taking a bath in his room.
Wen Lanzhi closed the door and went to sleep.
The other two went into another room.
Since she came back, Murong has been deliberately avoiding Wen Lanzhi, and Wu Ci Yan saw it.
Murong hesitated for a moment, then saw the jar of wine sent by the store on the table. She poured herself a bowl, drank it all, and then poured another bowl for Wu Ciyan.
Wu Ciyan shook his head, "You know, I don't drink in private."
Murong looked at him, then turned away and said, "I just don't know how to start. I want to apologize to Wen Lanzhi, but this kind of thing..."
She paused, then continued, "To my right was Wen Lanzhi, who was about to die, and to my left were six people about to fall into the lake. I hesitated at that time... and failed to save Wen Lanzhi, nor did I save those six people. I failed to live up to your trust, nor to my own responsibility."
She took another sip of her wine. "I didn't go to apologize to Wen Lanzhi because she was surrounded by so many people at the time. She might not have noticed my hesitation. Maybe she would think I just couldn't make it in time. I had a mean thought that if I didn't tell her, the matter would be over..."
She covered her face, unable to even smile bitterly, and said, "I'm sorry."
Wu Ciyan waited quietly for her to finish, then said, "Lanlan once said something to me."
Murong didn't respond and continued to sit there.
Wu Ciyan said, "She said, 'She's been so good to me, I'd rather die for her.'"
He sighed silently and said, "She is just like that. It doesn't matter what happens, living or dead. But she hopes that everyone she loves can live a good life. I already know that she rushed out to save people. She told me herself. I asked her why, and she said it was just because you wanted to save those people and she wanted to help you. She didn't do it for the common people. She couldn't hold so many people in her mind. She did it for you. Just like when I jumped into the lake to kill the dragon, it wasn't for the common people. I did it for Wen Lanzhi. I was afraid that she would die along with the common people."
Murong wiped away her tears and took her hand away.
Wu Ciyan continued, "You want to apologize to her. I think even if she knew the truth, she wouldn't feel sorry for her. She doesn't believe that anyone would choose her over anything else."
Murong was about to speak when Wu Ciyan interrupted her, "But I will! Between anything and her, I will choose her. Murong, I'm not angry with you. I knew you were like this from the first day I met you. Your responsibility concerns the people of the world. Between anything and responsibility, you will choose responsibility, and you have to choose responsibility."
He suddenly laughed, leaned back, and said, "But it doesn't matter to me. I'm a hero if I save one person, and I'm also a hero if I save a group of people. If saving Wen Lanzhi can save the whole world at the same time, then that's fine. If I can only choose between the whole world and Wen Lanzhi, then I will definitely choose Wen Lanzhi. I don't have any responsibilities to bear, so of course I'll do whatever makes my heart flow."
After a while, he continued, "We are just friends, not each other's organs. If one dies, the other will continue to live. No one can interfere with the other. Next time something like this happens, you choose yours and I choose mine."
Murong said "hmm" and looked at him, "Next time, I will be more determined."
Seeing that she was in a better mood, Wu Ciyan said, "I need you to do me a favor."
Murong asked, "What?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Please help me check if there is anyone named Qi Yuefeng among the gods in heaven."
Murong asked, "Who is it?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Lanlan had a dream the other day, saying that this man named Qi Yuefeng wanted to kill her."
Murong nodded and said "OK", then asked, "Did you find the Qinqing Fruit?"
