Chapter 36 Guilty, You Are So Cute
Xu Xingxing was slightly startled, and her first reaction was:
How do you know?
Then, feeling somewhat guilty, she spoke nervously, "Aren't you unconscious? How can you still hear it?"
She doesn't feel guilty about this.
At that time, she was chatting with Yue Baiyin. Yue Baiyin saw that Xiaoran was well-behaved and cute, so he jokingly asked her to just take Xiaoran in as her husband.
She casually asked, isn't it true that the beast contract can only be broken by death?
Yue Baiyin's expression at that time was very similar to that of the matchmaker who tempted Xu Xingxing to take a concubine, saying that a cultivator with strong spiritual power could take in several non-natal spirit beasts without breaking the contract.
Then he said mysteriously that the beast contract was not completely impossible to break, but it would cause great damage to the cultivator's body. He said that at the time to deceive Gu Nuo. Gu Nuo had found him privately and asked him to break Xu Xingxing's beast contract, so he made up such a reason. Anyway, this technique was considered a secret method in the ancient books of the Beast Taming School, and few people knew about it.
She wasn't interested, so she just laughed it off and made a couple of jokes before changing the subject.
So it doesn't matter even if Xiao Hei hears this.
What made her feel guilty was that she had once asked Yue Baiyin about the past of her natal spirit beast.
Yue Baiyin once said that if she wanted to know about Xiao Hei's past, she could find out at any time.
She also said that if she didn't try to find out, the past would occasionally appear in her dreams.
That Xiao Hei had a close relationship with the demons in the past, why didn't she dream about it?
Of course she didn't tell Yue Baiyin.
She simply asked, "Will the master dream of the entire past of his natal spirit beast? Will there be any omissions?"
Yue Baiyin looked at her in confusion and said, how is it possible? If she dreamed about everything in detail, she would not have to do anything and would sleep all day without waking up.
He added that he would only dream about key moments in the spirit beast's experience, which in layman's terms were things that had a huge impact on the spirit beast.
She felt a little relieved after hearing this. Does that mean that Xiao Hei might not be deeply involved with the demon clan?
If you think about it carefully, if the matter is very complicated, Yue Baiyin, Fang Zhiming and the others would not be able to fail to recognize such a powerful Huo Dou.
So what? Could it be that some demon is keeping Xiao Hei as a pet?
The image of Xiao Hei eating dog food and acting cute popped up in her mind. She shuddered, secretly struggled for a while, and forced herself to accept this possibility.
What if Xiao Hei is only hostile to humans and monks, but very friendly to demons...
…Although she couldn't imagine it…but she firmly believed that it was because of her poor imagination…
She shook her head and then asked how she could know the entire past of her natal spirit beast.
Yue Baiyin took out an old book from his Qiankun bag and threw it to her. The book contained methods for investigating the past of spirit beasts.
In the following days, she tried to investigate when Xiao Hei was unconscious. She tried many times, but found nothing except what she had dreamed of before.
As the ancient books said, she had no way of knowing the spirit beast's lost memories, so why did its previous tragic experience appear more realistic?
The trembling, dying form after being skinned, the blood foam that kept gushing out of his mouth, the filthy mud that stained his flesh, the horrific bloody holes where his eyes had been gouged out, and the dark room that had trapped him for a hundred years...
All of this made her depressed for more than half a month before she could digest it.
Of course, she did not ask Yue Baiyin about this question.
After all, asking him is equivalent to telling him that Xiao Hei's memory is damaged.
Although it was okay to let him know this, people like Yue Baiyin who had experienced the battle to chase away demons were all terrified at the mention of demons and were still frightened, so she had better be more careful.
Moreover, after she digested it, the idea of exploring also disappeared.
The child is pitiful enough, so what if he has something to do with the demons?
He has already joined Kunlun and become a regular cultivator. Can't you forgive him?
She thought she had done it perfectly, but now looking at Xiao Hei's increasingly gloomy eyes, she gradually began to feel uneasy.
If he heard this, would it be considered lying to him that she actually knew part of his past?
I have always been an awkward, cold and prickly person. Now I have finally been able to integrate into the crowd. It would be great to live a carefree life.
If Xiao Hei forces her to answer, how should she respond?
If she was forced to tell him the story, would he be unable to bear it, become angry, and have a drastic change in his personality?
Thinking of this, although Xu Xingxing pretended to be calm on the surface, he felt even more uneasy inside.
But in Xiao Hei's eyes, Xu Xingxing's guilty conscience now has a completely different meaning.
So he got even angrier, his eyes were extremely cold, his heart chilled, and he actually laughed: "So? When will the beast contract be lifted? I can't wait to be free again. Tomorrow? Or how about now, before the night gets too long and dreams become more serious? Call that green snake back, and we'll release it now, and you can tie it now, how about that?"
????
Xu Xingxing was a little confused by this barrage of verbal attacks, and frowned. "What are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to break the contract with you? Are you awake? Are you sleepwalking? Are you sleepwalking and telling crosstalk?"
Xiao Hei looked at Xu Xingxing's confused expression, was slightly startled, and his anger dissipated instantly.
In fact, he didn't hear much. He only heard this sentence before they started talking about other things, and then he fell into a dream uncontrollably.
So he initially thought it was a dream, a trick, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Although he knew Xu Xingxing had no intention of breaking the contract with him, he still felt awkward, as if a stone was grinding against his heart, making him extremely anxious: "If you hadn't asked, why would Yue Baiyin say such words to you for no reason? Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Of course, I'm not as considerate as that green snake. I wouldn't even cover you with clothes. I'm lucky I didn't kick you into my footsteps."
Xu Xingxing looked at his expression and felt something was amiss, but she subconsciously retorted, "Footrest? I've slept with you for so long, when have I ever had the pleasure of sleeping on a footrest? Every time before, I've slept on the floor myself, and you still have the nerve to bring it up?"
“…”
Is this the point? Is this the point?!
So what’s the point?
He himself doesn't seem to understand it very well.
Born in the world of cultivation, Xiao Hei had no idea what high blood pressure was. He felt a rush of blood from his heart to his head, making his headache even worse. "Since you've long hated me, why don't you just break the beast contract and go find that green snake? What are you still standing here for?"
Xu Xingxing wanted to retort, but suddenly an idea flashed across her mind, and she finally realized what was wrong. Looking at Xiao Hei frowning and questioning her, she blinked, and blinked again.
Um?
Um? ? ?
Didn't he mention A'ran too often?
he? ? ? ?
Could it be...
Are you jealous???!
It was as if a flower seedling was breaking through the soil in her heart, and she was instantly filled with joy. She just looked at him, and for a long time she couldn't think of her next lines.
At the same time, he was thinking whether he should deliberately say a few more words to poke him, so that she would have another layer of confirmation of this conclusion.
At the same time, she felt that he was not fully recovered yet, and she was such a jerk to him just after he woke up.
The most important thing is that she really can't hold back her farts. From the moment that thought came to her mind, she has been trying her best to prevent the corners of her mouth from cracking to the back of her ears.
So he put away his teasing intention, approached Xiao Hei with a smile, and asked directly: "Xiao Hei, are you jealous?"
Xiao Hei's eyes subconsciously avoided her for a moment because of her sudden proximity. After hearing what she said, he felt that she was completely unreasonable. He laughed in anger, his expression becoming more and more impatient, and he rarely raised his voice:
"Jealous? Jealous of what? Jealous of what? I'm talking about breaking the contract, and you're talking about eating? What did I say to you that made you want to eat dumplings? Xu Xing'er, can you stop jumping around like that?"
"Hahahahahahahahaha." After Xu Xingxing reacted, he pounded the bed and laughed.
What a pure and innocent little dog! It was she who taught him to dip dumplings in vinegar when they were eating in Xuancheng before.
But he doesn't like sour food.
Seeing Xiao Hei's face getting darker, she wiped away the tears of laughter, cleared her throat and explained, "What you mean by jealousy is, do you not want me and A'ran to form a bond? Do you think I asked Master because I want to break the bond with you and let you make room for A'ran?"
Xiao Hei was stunned. Is this what he meant?
For some reason, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw her calm expression, so he retorted: "What does your pact with him have to do with me? I just -"
Xu Xingxing was afraid that he would say something else that would make her want to beat him up, so she interrupted him and got straight to the point: "I won't."
Xiao Hei was stunned again.
"I won't. Yue Baiyin said that even if I don't have to break the contract with you, I can still take A Ran as a non-natal spirit beast, and even take several of them. But I won't do that."
"Unless you want to leave me, otherwise, I will never take the initiative to break the contract with you."
"Because in my heart, you are different from him, and no one can compare to you."
"There's only one of you, and I only need one of you."
There is only one of you, and I only need one of you.
I only want you.
I only want you.
That's enough.
The man's eyes couldn't help but widen as wide as they could, their expression becoming clear. Although it was fleeting, Xu Xingxing accurately caught his suddenly quickened heartbeat. She was even happier, so overjoyed that she even laughed out loud. Before Xiao Hei could cover it up, she pinched his face and said, "You're really cute."
The sinister look completely disappeared, and his black eyes became more helpless. The stone that had been bothering him suddenly turned into clouds, making his heart feel soft and his body relax in an instant.
It was so abnormal. The feeling he had now was too unfamiliar, causing him to feel panic at the same time.
Xiao Hei suppressed his loss of control from the inside out, adjusted himself, and just when he was about to slap her hand away and start mocking her, the woman suddenly moved closer to him.
Those deer-like eyes seemed to shine brighter than the lightning that night. She looked at him with a gentle smile and added word by word, "I have never considered you my spirit animal. I have always considered you my family."
His body stiffened, and the mocking words disappeared completely before they were uttered.
family?
What is family?
As if she knew he didn't understand what this meant, the woman said patiently, "Whether you believe it or not, the person I trust the most and am closest to in this world is you, and only you."
Xu Yi and Gu Nuo are both Xu Xinger's relatives. Although Yue Baiyin is her master, he has never shared life and death with her.
Only he accepted her completely and stayed by her side all the time. Although they did not get along well at the beginning, he saved her again and again and caught her when she was most afraid.
He understood her sense of humor and tolerated her fears.
Like a close friend, more like a family member.
The background music of "Brother, hug me" suddenly popped up in her mind, and the warm scene just now suddenly became funny.
Xu Xingxing shook her head to get rid of the music, and then she saw Xiao Hei staring at her in a daze. It was the first time she saw him look so dazed. Just as she was about to wave in front of him, her body suddenly felt heavy and her vision suddenly went dark.
She covered her head with the quilt.
“…”
She was speechless. Just as she was about to pull the quilt off, she heard Xiao Hei's voice:
"Don't move."
Her voice, usually as smooth as jade, now had a hint of hoarseness and trembling, so she stopped moving and lay still.
Then his hand seemed to cover the back of her head again, and with a slight force, she fell into his arms.
He tightened his arms and wrapped her tightly. Through the quilt, she could hear his heartbeat, deep and beautiful.
She just lay quietly on his chest, happy and at peace.
After a long time, Xiao Hei's heartbeat and breathing gradually stabilized.
She was so stuffy that she slowly lifted the quilt, revealing her face.
She tilted her head slightly, her face facing the man's.
At this time, his head was leaning lightly against the bed rail, his eyelashes drooped, Jinling was quiet, and he was sleeping very well.
This was the first time she had looked at his face so closely.
The long eyebrows were as black as ink, the eyelashes were as sharp as a crow, the nose was straight and high, and the lips were like peach blossoms. Xu Xingxing was a little dazed and thought secretly that this face was probably the most elaborate painting of the God of Creation.
She pursed her lips, feeling that this distance was perfect for a sneak attack. She stared at the lightly closed lips, swallowed, and licked her lips.
I have to say, in this situation, she really looked like a pervert, so she sighed and straightened up.
After gently laying Xiao Hei down, she stared at his sleeping face for a while, took off her shoes, rolled to the inside of the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Because she didn't open her eyes again, she didn't see the very light smile on the man's lips.
Perhaps she was really tired, as she fell asleep very quickly. So she didn't notice the man quietly move towards her twice, and then looked at her for a long time before falling asleep again.
The lights are off and I go to bed early, a breeze blows through the small window;
It's late at night and everyone is asleep. I have a sweet dream all night.
