Chapter 145: Forgetting Love? I Don’t Know
Who is that person?
Book of Beasts? System?
Or rather, these are all him.
But it's not entirely him.
At first, when Xu Xingxing was punished by Hou Yuan for getting close to him, she just thought that he was warning her to know good from evil, concentrate on her mission, and stay away from the villains in the book.
But later, when I thought about it carefully, I felt that this reason was full of loopholes.
Why did the seriously injured Wei Yuan happen to appear in Lingshou Mountain, especially when she had just moved there?
Why among all things in the world, why did Niu Yuan's soul possess the body of the spiritual beast Huo Dou, and why did it so coincidentally look so similar to her Lao Hei?
She had never connected this matter with the Book of Beasts before, but as her perspective zoomed in, she became more and more certain that this was definitely not a coincidence.
She had doubts long before the Book of Beasts began to explore and record all of Wei Yuan's preferences and data. You know, she later asked the Book of Beasts for other people's data, but without exception, it knew nothing about them.
These details are scattered and unrelated, yet they are inexplicably connected and conflicting with each other in a weird way.
It was the same now. He knew that if anything happened to her, Wei Yuan would go crazy, but he still tied her up on purpose to force him to be violent and bloodthirsty, even after he absorbed so much dark energy.
When he really couldn't control himself and killed people, he made her suffer in her dreams.
It was obvious that the people she possessed in her dreams before were all possessed by Hou Yuan himself.
Not only did these subtle changes occur, but her physical condition also deteriorated. She felt extremely weak, her mind became increasingly confused when she woke up, and the time between sleeps became shorter and shorter.
But Wei Yuan couldn't diagnose the problem at all.
Right and wrong, tangled up in a mess, can't be seen through, can't figure it out, like a lunatic.
But at that time, she looked at the anxious and crazy bloodshot eyes of Wei Yuan on the high platform, and endured the tearing pain of her bones being torn apart. When the pain was extreme, she wondered in a trance, what would he do if he knew that the person he was torturing and killing was her?
In the illusion, she felt so guilty just for killing herself. If he really knew, he would probably kill himself with his own hands.
As her thoughts wandered like this, her mind suddenly became clear.
So, is the system using her life to punish Wei Yuan?
Or, use her pain to alert Zuo Yuan?
Teach a lesson to the demon who is indifferent to life and has no mercy.
Thinking of this, her mind suddenly became clear.
Therefore, the monks who were being tortured and killed now were just crushed and ground white chalk, and she was the teaching prop for this class.
Thinking of this, the place we had just passed through was covered by even thicker fog.
Who is this teacher? Can she defeat him?
Obviously not.
If she told him about this, what would happen? Even if a student had the ability to fight a teacher, wouldn't he also need to know where the teacher was?
But now, it is known that the Book of Beasts is still growing in her sea of consciousness, she is still having nightmares, and her life is in someone's hands.
Furthermore, it was known that Wei Yuan would never risk her life, so he was unwilling to try any other methods besides forcing Xu Yi. Did all of this just prove that it would be difficult for her, a teaching tool, to escape unscathed?
What's more, she was probably brought here as a teaching prop from the very beginning, and the fate of teaching props has never been decided by the students, but has always been in the hands of the teacher.
As for the task of finding the Book of Beasts, it's more like a slaughterhouse raising a dog and assigning you a job as a guard. In fact, the ultimate goal is still your delicious dog meat.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little desperate. She seemed unable to do anything, but she couldn't do nothing either.
She thought and thought again with her almost numb brain, and considered and considered again, and finally called Xu Yi over. She faced the huge blurry figure across the chessboard and stepped forward tremblingly as a pawn.
Xu Yi's face darkened for a moment, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"
Xu Xingxing was completely at a loss for words. After a moment's deliberation, he said something irrelevant: "You've also seen that I can't control Hou Yuan. If all the cultivators in Kunlun die and I'm still trapped here, do you think the people will be safe?"
"I heard from You Ling'er that you transformed into someone else's appearance during the two years you disappeared?" Xu Yi suddenly asked an unrelated question.
Xu Xingxing didn't know why he was curious about this, but didn't ask any more questions and just nodded honestly.
"Why?"
A lot of time had passed by then, and there was no need to hide anything anymore, so Xu Xingxing told it in general terms.
After hearing this, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I need to think about it for two days before deciding whether to release you."
Xu Xingxing's face was conflicted for a moment, then she answered honestly, "It's better to hurry up. I could fall asleep at any moment. If I do fall asleep again... I don't know what Wei Yuan will do."
She spoke vaguely, but Xu Yi should know what she meant.
"When I brought you back earlier, you were also unconscious for a long time? Why is that?" Xu Yi asked with a frown.
Xu Xingxing thought for a moment and replied, "It was the person who asked you to go to Tongcheng who did it."
She had no evidence, it was all just her sixth sense.
Apart from Chongzi, the only person who knew that she and Wei Yuan went to Chengqing was the Book of Beasts.
The Book of Beasts was suppressed by Hou Yuan and could not control her, but on second thought, even if it lost its usual effectiveness, it would be more than enough to use the Book of Beasts simply as her human positioning system.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing couldn't help but admire,
I'm so damn smart.
So we can conclude that even if the Book of Beasts was not the one who instructed Xu Yi to go to Tongcheng to find her, it was something related to it.
As to what that thing is, it is unknown.
Xu Yi's brows furrowed even deeper: "Just comatose?"
Xu Xingxing twitched the corner of his mouth, "And nightmares."
Xu Yi paused and said nothing more.
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether you let me go or not. I just think it's not worth it for you to put an innocent life on the line here." Xu Xingxing continued.
"Why is it irrelevant?" Xu Yuan walked in, crossed his arms and looked at Xu Xingxing for a while. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Xu Xingxing shaking his head. He shut up in time and waved his hand to let the bug take Xu Yi away.
After the man left, Wei Yuan walked up to the stone platform, held him in his arms, and asked, "Why did you tell him you are not Xu Xing'er?"
Xu Xingxing guessed that he would eavesdrop, and curled her lips and said, "What about you? Why don't you tell him that I'm not Xu Xing'er?"
He pursed his lips and uttered two words awkwardly: "...Secret."
Xu Xingxing found a comfortable position in his arms and leaned against it, saying slowly, "It's more than that."
Zhu Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he held her tighter: "What do you mean?"
"You must think I have a few good friends in Kunlun. If they knew I was just a ghost who had taken over another person's body, they would definitely hate me." Xu Xingxing sighed, looking like he understood. "That's why you didn't tell them."
Zhu Yuan didn't refute her, but just rubbed her forehead and smiled: "Really? I didn't know."
Xu Xingxing put her arms around his waist, raised her face and kissed him on the chin: "I know, you have always been so good."
Hou Yuan's heart trembled, remembering the bloody screams that filled the Kunlun Mountains during this period. His expression became extremely strange: "...You are the only one who thinks I'm fine."
"Because you're only good to me." Xu Xingxing hugged him tighter. "You've given all your goodness to me, so of course I have to see it more clearly and remember it more firmly."
The heart that had been at the bottom of the abyss for the past few days finally felt a spring breeze coming back to it. He pulled the woman onto his lap and hugged her tightly, letting her breath completely envelop him. "...So, tell me, what have you seen through?"
"You didn't like Aunt Ding, but because I did, you tried to get close to her. Some male patients looked at me more than once, and you wanted to kick them out, even murdering them. But because you knew I didn't like it, you endured it. Because you didn't want to clash with the people from Spirit Beast Mountain, you had the demon army surround Spirit Beast Mountain and forbid them from entering or leaving..."
At this point, Xu Xingxing raised her face and kissed him again, "You always consider things from my perspective, just to make my life more comfortable and fulfilling. Am I right?"
The last trace of crimson in Hou Yuan's eyes finally shed, becoming soft and gentle. He rubbed the top of her hair and said, "Really? I don't know."
"I love you." Xu Xingxing said with a curved eyebrow.
Sweetness welled up in Hou Yuan's heart again. He wanted to ask the woman if she had guessed what he had done while she was unconscious, but after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't ask.
He hugged the woman tighter, sniffing her scent intently, and said in a deep voice, "I will rescue you, Xingxing. Then we can find a place to open a clinic, okay?"
"good."
"I want to marry you. I want to bring you home in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Is that okay?"
"good."
"You've suffered, Xingxing...it's all my fault for being incompetent."
"How can I blame you? You've given me the best."
"Star……"
"Um?"
"Nothing..."
"You want it?"
"……No."
"So what weapon do you have on your waist?"
“…”
"You're not trying to assassinate me, are you?"
“…Xu Xingxing!”
"Xiao Hei, I want it too."
"...I asked someone to buy some new books. Do you want to read them?"
"You don't want it?"
"...and there's a popular toy to pass the time these days...stars!"
"How is it? Haha, I can take off your clothes faster than I can take off my own." Xu Xingxing put her arms around Xu Yuan, whose shirt she had already ripped open, and nibbled on his collarbone with a smile.
Zhu Yuan groaned, his eyes dark and gloomy. He held the dishonest woman on top of him, leaned over and pressed her under him, then when she was in a trance, he leaned over and took her.
The cave is full of bright spring scenery.
Xu Yi wanted to see Xu Xingxing the next day and said that he could open the chains, but Xu Yuan had to evacuate all the monsters in Kunlun, including himself.
Of course, Wei Yuan did not agree. Later, after Xu Xingxing's negotiation, both sides took a step back, the monsters withdrew, and Wei Yuan could wait for her at the top of Sicheng Cliff.
Wei Yuan was still unwilling, but Xu Yi refused to give in any further and even threatened that if he did not agree, he would be killed or cut into pieces as before, at his discretion.
Seeing that the situation was about to become tense again, Xu Xingxing hurriedly tried to smooth things over and coax Hou Yuan out. Hou Yuan secretly got angry for a while, but finally had no choice but to agree. He looked at Xu Yi and said three words in a cold voice: "Half a cup of tea."
What it means is self-evident.
"Too short." Xu Yi replied calmly.
Hou Yuan's usually stern face was a little tense at this moment: "Short? How long will it take to open the lock?"
"I still need to talk to Xing'er."
"Xing'er? Who is Xing'er? Your Xing'er has already—"
"Yuan Yuan!" Xu Xingxing scolded.
Wei Yuan shut up, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.
"One stick of incense." Xu Yi spoke again.
Zhu Yuan suppressed his anger and bargained through gritted teeth: "Half an incense stick."
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded.
Then Yu Yuan was asked to leave.
Xu Yi set up a barrier to prevent him from eavesdropping. Wei Yuan's protests were in vain, and he could only squat on the top of the cliff anxiously, looking at the prison gate.
His spiritual sense was unable to detect the Sicheng Cliff, and even the soul he placed in the woman's sea of consciousness was useless in this prison.
Yuan was counting the time anxiously, his mind full of the curse words that Xingxing had cursed before.
When Xingxing gets out of here, he will definitely blow up this cliff!
.
Thinking of punishment on the cliff.
Xu Yi came to the stone platform for the first time, next to Xu Xingxing.
His handsome face was now covered with fine lines, which, together with his head full of white hair, made him look even more aged.
He sat opposite her, but did not rush to unlock the door. He just talked about Xu Xing'er.
He mentioned the first time Xu Xingxing and he had a fight and asked, "Did Xing'er hate me so much when she died?"
Xu Xingxing pursed her lips and replied honestly: "I don't hate you so much, but I am really sad."
Otherwise, you wouldn't go astray.
"I felt that Xing'er had changed before, but I never dared to think about it. Later, I thought about making amends, but I never thought that she was no longer herself." Xu Yi's thin eyelids were half closed, and the emotions in his eyes could not be seen.
Xu Xingxing really didn't know how to comfort him, so she chose to remain silent.
He talked a lot, and Xu Xingxing would reply a few words.
The prison fell silent again. After a moment, Xu Yi sighed with a wry smile, "The Tianji Pavilion calculated that Xing'er was the savior, but who would have thought that the savior was actually from another world? The thing my Xing'er used to save the world was just a shell. How ridiculous, how ridiculous!"
Xu Xingxing wanted to say something, but felt that whatever he said now would be harsh, so he did not respond.
Xu Yi didn't need her to reply, and continued, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have forced her to practice so hard? I should have just let her grow up happily. Blame me for being too strict. She hasn't smiled at me since she was four years old."
Xu Xingxing paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Since you care about her, why would you say that?"
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "What's the point of explaining why now? The person who really needs to hear my explanation is no longer here."
Xu Xingxing suddenly recalled the illusion she had encountered in Chengqing, and she told Xu Yi what she remembered in bits and pieces. Afterward, she said, "I didn't want to tell you anymore, but... I always feel that you should know what Xu Xing'er really wants, so that we can have a father-daughter relationship and a beginning and an end."
Is this the end?
Who knows.
But there are not many traces of Xu Xing'er left in the world, and it would be better if there is someone else who remembers these gentle and tiny hopes.
Xu Yi's face turned even paler than before. He was stunned for a long time, and finally turned his chaotic emotions into a sigh: "Thank you for telling me, my friend. The peace in this world is thanks to you."
After saying that, he pointed his two fingers at his chest, forcing out the blood from his heart. He then used the blood to draw an extremely complicated talisman in the air. The talisman kept shrinking and seeped into the handcuffs on her hands. With a click, the chains broke.
Xu Yi said: "Since we will never see each other again, I will talk to you for a few more words."
Xu Xingxing rubbed his aching wrist and straightened his expression: "You go ahead."
"I dreamed of a person whose face was obscured, and even his figure was ethereal. He asked me to go to Tongcheng to find you, and told me the lost method to unlock this artifact. I went to the Tianji Pavilion to try to figure out who this person was, but halfway through the divination, the fortune teller fainted and was seriously injured." Xu Yi looked at Xu Xingxing, "This phenomenon has occurred once before."
"What's happening? Did the fortune teller faint or was he dreaming?"
"Both." Xu Yi said, "It's just that it wasn't me who had the dream at that time, it was my uncle, and... later on, the person in the dream really showed up. That time, it was when Hou Yuan was punished by heaven."
Xu Xingxing's eyes widened: "He just showed up once and then left?"
"He also left behind the method to seal off the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and then disappeared for no apparent reason, never to be seen again."
"Who is he? What does he look like?" Xu Xingxing asked.
"I haven't seen him. I only heard that he was wearing tattered clothes and had a mask covering his face." Xu Yi looked at her and spoke each word with emphasis. "We call him the Way of Heaven."
The way of heaven?
Heavenly Way??!
So, he was the one who planted the Book of Beasts? Is he a system? What is his purpose?
Xu Xingxing lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Just as she was about to ask again, she felt a sudden pain in the back of her neck and lost consciousness.
*
When I opened my eyes again, the sky was gloomy and the air was stuffy.
Xu Xingxing only felt swaying and very dizzy. It took him a while to realize that he was lying on a boat.
She rolled her eyes to look at the person beside her. The person also looked over, his eyes startled. After the surprise, there was only an unclear and obscure look in his eyes. He pursed his lips and shouted towards the bow of the boat: "Senior Sister is awake."
A woman came over and took Xu Xingxing's pulse. She said, "It's just that your meridians are slightly blocked. After all, you've been soaking in the blue spring for so long. You'll be fine after a while."
"Senior sister looks so dazed, could she not recognize us?" A head popped over from the bow of the boat.
"You're the one who's stupid." Xu Xingxing rolled her eyes at Fang Zhiming and said in a hoarse voice, "Yu'er, I'm thirsty."
Lin Yue's expression relaxed and he hurriedly poured her some water.
Xu Xingxing drank the water and thought of the Blue Spring that Lin Yue had mentioned. Only Sicheng Cliff had a Blue Spring, but when she thought about it, nothing came to mind. She rubbed her solar plexus and asked, "Is it really just the meridians that are blocked? Yue'er, why do I feel like I've forgotten something?"
Lin Yue's expression was very strange for a moment.
Fang Zhiming's voice came from the bow again: "It's normal, because you hit your head when we dived out of the Blue Spring."
Xu Xingxing was skeptical: "...Really? But why does the back of my neck hurt?"
"...That's the back of the neck." Fang Zhiming continued, "Who can be sure in a situation like that?"
……Too.
Xu Xingxing didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the sky in a daze for a moment and quickly fell asleep again.
In a daze, I heard someone talking.
"It scared me to death, I'm not going to lie."
"It's okay, let me do it."
"Qin Feng, why didn't you talk to Senior Sister just now?"
"Ahem... where are we going?"
"I don't know either. Let's go to the north and have a look."
"Master...what should I do?"
"Have you forgotten the Sect Master's instructions? I know you're upset, but we have little influence. The only thing we can do now is to take good care of Senior Sister..."
Was this a dream or reality? Xu Xingxing couldn't tell the difference, but she had no time to think and soon fell into chaos again.
When I woke up again, we had reached the shore.
A few people found a noodle shop and sat down to eat. Suddenly, they heard crying and insults in the distance.
"What's going on outside?" Lin Yue asked casually
"Don't worry. We have to get going after dinner. There is a ferry heading north to Shengling at night. We can find the ferry after we get to Shengling." Fang Zhiming distributed chopsticks to everyone.
Xu Xingxing took the chopsticks and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Aren't you in a hurry to let people catch up? Master is very angry with you. If we are caught, we won't be able to escape." Fang Zhiming remained calm.
Xu Xingxing felt the logic didn't make sense, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she muttered, "I actually forgot why my father was mad at me. Yue'er, does getting hit on the back of the neck affect your memory so much?"
"Shadow...influence!" Lin Yue nodded hesitantly.
"Eat quickly, senior sister, your noodles are about to clump together." Fang Zhiming urged.
The wailing outside was even louder. Xu Xingxing frowned for a moment and put down his chopsticks.
"You guys eat, I'll go take a look."
“Hey!”
Qin Feng, who had been silent all this time, took over and said, "I'll go."
The street was crowded with people. After Xu Xingxing squeezed in, she saw a three or four-year-old child lying on the ground. Beside him knelt a woman in tattered clothes. She hugged someone's legs and cried non-stop, "I will pay you back, I will definitely pay you back. Please save my son again!"
Xu Xingxing looked at the nearby plaque, which read:
Good Medical Hall.
It's a pharmacy.
"Xinghei Tang? What the hell is this? Who can tell it's a medical clinic? ... Not even the Black Star Tang!"
A sentence suddenly flashed through Xu Xingxing's mind, and he tried to catch something but couldn't catch anything.
"I'm just a servant, big sister. It's no use begging me. Besides, how many times have you done this? The medical fees you owe are my wages for several years. You should ask somewhere else. I'm just a handyman. Please don't make things difficult for me." The servant whose thighs were held tried hard to pry her hands open. After finally prying them open, he pushed the woman hard, and Xu Xingxing quickly caught the woman in his arms.
She looked at the servant, who shrank his head and lowered his eyes, mumbling, "...You can't blame me for this. I've said everything, good or bad, but she just won't listen."
After Xu Xingxing helped the woman up, he said to Qin Feng, "Call Yue'er over." Then he looked at the servant and said, "Whatever she owes, I'll help her pay it back."
Then he casually dug into his Qiankun bag and pulled out a...gold ingot? ?
She still has this thing?
She glanced into the Qiankun bag again, and her presbyopic eyes were almost blinded.
It's so golden and dazzling.
A bag full of gold...
Where did she get so much money?!
This must be at least a down payment for Xuancheng, right?
After thinking about it seriously for a while...my neck hurts.
So, she gave up her memories, handed over the gold ingot, looked at the servant's shocked face, and said calmly, "Give me the change."
When Lin Yue arrived at the place and saw the child, he immediately took the child's pulse and gave him a few injections on the street. The child then slowly regained consciousness.
The woman was very excited and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you very much, young lady, thank you very much, miraculous doctor, I have no way to repay your kindness, I will repay you in my next life even if I have to work like a slave!"
"You're a miracle healer! It's no exaggeration to call you a miracle doctor!"
Xu Xingxing was in a trance for a moment. Lin Yue had already written the prescription and handed it to the woman: "Sister, just take it twice a day."
Someone came out of the pharmacy, followed by the servant from before. The man handed over the banknotes with both hands. After Xu Xingxing took them, he looked at the woman and said, "Sister, what medicine do you need this time? I will get it for you myself. For the sake of this young lady, I will waive the fee this time."
Xu Xingxing stuffed the money into the woman's hand and said, "Go get some medicine. There should be more than one pharmacy here."
The woman was so moved that she burst into tears and thanked him repeatedly. After Xu Xingxing comforted her a few more words, the woman took the child and left.
Afterwards, Xu Xingxing and the others ignored the shopkeeper and left.
After returning to the noodle shop and taking two mouthfuls of the now clumping noodles, Xu Xingxing was still dazed by the term "miracle doctor." She sighed, swallowed her noodles, and said, "Yuer, how about getting me two prescriptions too? Why do I feel like I'm always daydreaming?"
"Ah?" Lin Yue's eyes widened, and she looked silly and cute.
Fang Zhiming took a sip of his noodle soup and said, "Come on, Senior Sister, why haven't I seen you act so pretentiously before? Hurry up and finish eating and go to the ferry. The boat is about to leave."
Xu Xingxing took a few more bites, and then they headed towards the ferry.
After getting on the boat, she felt sleepy and went straight back to her room to sleep. Although she had no dreams all night, her sleep was not sound. She was still groggy when she was woken up in the early morning.
The trip was very rushed, and Fang Zhiming said that there was another ferry heading north to Gyeongbuk at noon.
During this period of time, they strolled around Shengling.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance.
Silk separation.
Si Li was very excited to see her, but she looked at Qin Feng in confusion: "Why is it him? Huh——"
Her mouth was covered by Lin Yue, who said solemnly, "You look pale and dark under your eyes. Have you been having stomach discomfort recently?"
"Hey, miraculous doctor, I heard Kunlun was recently—"
Her mouth was covered by Fang Zhiming again, and Fang Zhiming's face was also serious: "There are too many people here. We can't diagnose patients in such a noisy environment. Can you please excuse me to talk?"
Then, Si Li was quickly dragged away by Fang Zhiming and Lin Yue.
Only Xu Xingxing and Qin Feng were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Xingxing twitched his lips: "Is there something wrong with them?"
Qin Feng: ...
"Or are you hiding something from me?"
"There is a problem. It's not just one or two days. It's not the first day you have known them." Qin Feng said affirmatively.
Xu Xingxing blinked and accepted the answer.
The two of them strolled around for a while and finally met up with Fang Zhiming and the others before dinner.
While eating, Sili looked cautious and spoke very carefully, only glancing at her from time to time.
Xu Xingxing asked, "Why isn't Xiaoran with you?"
"He walked so fast that I couldn't catch up with him. He heard..." Si Li suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject abruptly, "I'll catch up with him in a few days."
Xu Xingxing swallowed the food in his mouth and changed the subject: "What did he hear?"
Facing the murderous looks from Fang Zhiming and Lin Yue, Si Li lied haltingly, "He heard that the hibiscus flowers in the south were blooming, so he went to see them."
Xu Xingxing said, "Oh," "But it's May now."
No one understood.
"Hibiscus flowers bloom from August to October." Xu Xingxing glanced at the crowd. "Are you lying to me? Or... have you been lied to?"
Fang Zhiming suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Sili, Xiaoran must be lying to you! You silly girl!"
Si Li rolled her eyes at him: "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid!"
After dinner, everyone went to the ferry together.
Xu Xingxing asked Si Li: "Why don't you fly? The boat is so slow."
"No, there are a lot of monsters patrolling in the sky recently. If we fly, we will be too big a target." Si Li answered casually.
Fang Zhiming looked over nervously, then turned away again when he saw that she looked normal.
"Eh? What's this?" Si Li pointed at the thing around her neck and said, "It's pretty nice. Are you new?"
Xu Xingxing looked down and saw an iron tear-shaped pendant with some strange patterns engraved on it, adorned on a very clear silk thread.
"Hmm? I've never bought this before." Xu Xingxing fiddled with it with her fingers, her expression indescribable. "Is it really good-looking?"
Fang Zhiming looked over again, and after a moment, turned his head away.
"It looks great!" Si Li asked again, "Where did you buy it?"
Xu Xingxing said generously, "You like it? I'll give it to you."
As she spoke, she went to untie the pendant. Fang Zhiming turned his head for the third time and did not turn away again. His expression was even more indescribable than hers just now. His eyes were filled with two parts of silence, four parts of sorrow, and five parts of insults.
Xu Xingxing was frightened by his expression and stopped moving: "What's wrong?"
Fang Zhiming felt like he was about to cry. He sniffed and said, "That was a gift from Qin Feng to you. Even if you don't like it, you can't waste its kindness like this!"
Qin Feng's face flushed instantly, but he did not refute: "...I...you...Senior Sister...well, if you want to give her away...I don't want to live anymore."
Lin Yueyi had an exaggerated look of heartache on his face: "...Qin Feng...Qin Feng, he's so pitiful."
Xu Xingxing: ...
But she quickly found a loophole: "Even if I forgot about it because I hit the back of my neck, I definitely won't accept your things if I don't like you... How about I give it back to you."
Then he went to solve it.
Fang Zhiming's eyes almost rolled back at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng received the signal and did not hesitate at all. He directly put the half-extended sword against his neck, "Senior Sister, if you...if you take it off...I will die."
Xu Xingxing saw Qin Feng pause and, while everyone was panicking, he understood and said, "Did you threaten me like this when you sent me away?"
Qin Feng nodded with a fearless attitude.
Xu Xingxing looked at him for a while and sighed: "You know I really don't like you."
Qin Feng's expression darkened, and it took him a long time before he nodded.
Xu Xingxing nodded in relief: "That's good. Don't get complacent just because I'm wearing this pendant. If I don't like it, then I don't like it. I will never like it."
Qin Feng's face turned pale.
Xu Xingxing pretended not to see it and walked towards the ferry.
There were soothing voices and Fang Zhiming's voice scolding Sili behind him.
Sili boarded another boat heading in the opposite direction.
After a few people waved goodbye, it was obvious that Fang Zhiming felt much more relaxed at that moment.
The four of them had intended to return to their cabins to rest, but after sailing just a hundred meters, the already gloomy sky suddenly erupted in thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured down. The river, which had been relatively calm just moments before, suddenly became turbulent, with huge waves, each one stronger and higher than the last, constantly crashing towards the boat.
