Chapter 42 Trust him and hold it in your hands, never let go even if you die!
Xiao Hei in front of him was still smiling as before.
But for some reason, Xu Xingxing always felt that his calm expression concealed a turbulent and dense emotion.
Of course, she didn't notice anything.
She felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She took Xiao Hei's hand, which was covered by her sleeve, between her own and looked at him seriously. "I've guessed... one thing. Just promise me that you'll stay away from Tiger Mountain from now on."
The eyes so close to him were filled with sincerity and frankness, without a trace of disgust or fear. They were clear and bright, clean and soft, not even a fraction of the reflected snow.
The warmth from the woman's palm slowly came through the fabric, slowly warming up his extremely cold fingers. He clenched his fist slightly and hid his bloody fingers in his palm.
He had never thought of hiding it from her before, so it was normal for her to notice something. But after he saw Ji Chan's memory, he couldn't help but regret when he thought about how honest he had been with her before.
But I never thought that she really didn't care.
The poisonous vines that had been growing in his heart were swept away, and the suffocating and painful sensations vanished. It was as if he had been reborn. He looked at her for a long time and said:
"Okay, I promise."
Xu Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and relaxed a little. "You haven't answered my question yet. I guessed part of it, but there must be something I don't know."
Xiao Hei looked at her and asked, "What did you guess?"
"You must have been associated with the demons before."
"Oh?" Xiao Hei remained calm.
"That bug is afraid of you. Ji Chan's attitude changed drastically when he heard your name. I was the one who gave him the name Xiao Hei. Although I can't figure out why, this is definitely not a coincidence."
He remained noncommittal: "Anything else?"
"But if you were a demon beast driven by a demon, then Gu Nuo and the others would have definitely known who you were when I rescued you," Xu Xingxing thought seriously, holding his chin. "So I guess you were once kept as a pet by a demon."
Hearing this, he let out a very light laugh.
He never thought that the beastly skin he hated could actually help him so much.
The thumb curled in the palm of his hand grew sharp nails again, digging deep into the tip of his index finger. Venom slowly spread in his heart. He smiled beautifully, captivatingly: "Xingxing has a point."
Xu Xingxing was mesmerized by the beauty for three seconds before she sighed, "Why do you keep asking me to talk? Where are the questions I asked you?"
The blood slowly flowed out, and he used magic to suppress it slightly, so that only a very faint smell of blood that only he could smell came out.
He licked his lips and replied swiftly:
"I can see Ji Chan's memories."
Xu Xingxing opened her eyes wide in shock: "So what did you see? Or rather——"
"Do you see yourself in her memory?"
His sharp nails dug into the wound and stirred it, causing blood to flow all over his hands and soak through his sleeves. Fortunately, he was wearing black silk.
Xiao Hei looked at her for a long time, then slowly opened his mouth and said:
"No."
It is to inform yourself and also to confirm yourself.
He allowed her to make a superficial guess, but that was enough.
"How strange." Xu Xingxing recalled the scene. "So she wanted to give you her memories on her own initiative?"
"I don't know."
"It looks quite similar to me, and I even asked you to kill her."
"Then you'll have to ask her."
The entire index finger was covered in minced flesh, with the bones exposed, but his face showed no sign of it.
She knew that his past had some connection to the devil, but that was all.
She didn't know more, and he wouldn't let her know anything.
Her already precarious trust could not be broken even slightly by his forgotten past.
The sharp nails dug out pieces of flesh from his index finger and burned them, but he was completely unaware.
No problem, no problem.
There's still time.
If he is not Wei Yuan, he must find evidence before he can feel at ease.
If he were Hou Yuan, he would need to destroy all evidence before he could feel at peace.
In Ji Chan's memory, the monster wore a black hat and stood on a high platform. His face could not be seen clearly. He said to the other monsters:
My lord is trapped in chaos, his name is Xiao Hei.
The demon god rumored in the world and in Ji Chan's memory always wears a mask whenever he appears. If he is really Hou Yuan, it should not be known to others.
But if he wasn't, all of this would be too much of a coincidence.
He suddenly thought of something and raised the corners of his lips secretly.
Not bad, not bad.
He knew it wasn't too late.
Even if he has to start from the lowest level of monsters, he will pull out the demon that announced his name to the world from the darkness!
Even if we kill all the monsters, this matter must never be spread out!
If trust is fragile, he will strengthen it with lies!
He wants to hold that pure trust and that thorough sincerity in his hands and never let go even if he dies!
The defenseless bird was surrounded by the dark snakes without realizing it.
His nails scraped against the white bones of his index finger, a smile in his eyes as he looked at the bird beside him that was completely unaware and only focused on releasing its kindness, and his heart grew increasingly chilling.
Stars, stars.
Who made you save me first among all the people in the world?
Who made you, with all your wealth and wealth, sign a beast contract with me?
Who made you so innocent and keep me by your side?
Who asked you to provoke me first?
The woman continued to ask questions, and he answered meekly, answering all her questions without reservation. He was so well-behaved and obedient.
But he only knew that the vines climbed up the lush tree trunks in the name of protection, and the vipers coiled on the branches to guard the house in the name of loyalty. The protection and loyalty were not false, but the desire to survive by sucking was even more real.
He stared closely at the person in front of him.
It's like someone who has been wandering in the desert for dozens of days seeing water.
For the first time, he deeply realized that she was more than just a close person to him.
What is that?
He doesn't know.
All he knew was that when he thought that she would no longer believe in him, his heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped, as if he was on the verge of death.
Finally, Xu Xingxing stopped and thought for a while. He couldn't think of anything else to ask, so he stretched out his hand and made a hand gesture. He felt his neck loosen, and the bell and red silk flew into her hands together.
Then, she said earnestly, "If you want to regain your memories, I won't stop you. But it's best not to use methods like absorbing monsters again. You must not have any involvement with monsters again, and don't betray my trust in you."
Xiao Hei felt that he was looking at her with a serious look. He heard himself say, "How could that be? I'm not someone who doesn't know what's good for me."
Lying is so simple, just like the usual nonsense. Once it is said, it is forgotten and no one pays attention to the words.
yes,
How could I let you down?
How dare I break my promise to you?
The trust you give me is like fragile glass. I will preserve it carefully and try my best to prevent it from being worn out.
Seeing Xiao Hei's serious answer, Xu Xingxing stopped talking and fiddled with the golden bell. With a look of regret on his face, he said, "It actually looks pretty good on you. If it weren't made from a beast chain, I'd really like to give it to you."
Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows, and the bell flew into his hands again: "In that case, it's not a bad idea for me to take it."
"You don't care about its origins?" Xu Xingxing asked in surprise, "This... isn't a good thing for a spirit beast..."
"I just know that you said it looked really good on me."
All I know is that it was given to me by you.
"Then give it to me first." Xu Xingxing placed the bell in his palm and muttered a few terms. The bell spun a few times in the air and was automatically tied around Xiao Hei's neck.
The golden bell stops talking from time to time, but its sound is still pleasing to the heart even without rhythm.
Like a plum blossom in the snow, it is just the right amount of charming.
"I have now reduced its control to the lowest level. If you like it, you can keep it like this for now. How about I make a better-looking one for you later?" She said with a smile.
Xiao Hei looked at her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled:
"good."
As soon as the word memory was mentioned, Xu Xingxing thought of something and took out a jade token from his chest.
It was the size of a typical Apple phone, thinner than a coin held upright. It had some strange spells on it, and Xu Xingxing studied it for a long time without understanding it. But since it involved Xiao Hei, she was afraid someone would find out, and she was also afraid her father would find out and confiscate it, so she didn't dare ask anyone.
She handed it to the stone table in front of Xiao Hei and said, "This is the jade house. Didn't you say that the things inside felt very familiar to you? Take it. It might help you regain your memory."
Xiao Hei tapped the jade token with his finger, his expression unclear, and said "OK" again.
Xu Xingxing felt that he had been too well-behaved from the beginning. Thinking of his tragic past, she secretly felt distressed and said carefully: "The past is the past. No matter when you remember it, you can't let it affect your future."
The past is past?
If it were really as you said, you wouldn't have repeatedly reminded me about the demon clan's affairs.
If you knew the whole truth, would you still say such casual words as you do now?
Xiao Hei suppressed the darkness in his eyes and replied, "No."
Xu Xingxing warned again, worriedly: "If you know anything and you can't figure it out, you must tell me. Don't keep it to yourself and digest it alone."
Xiao Hei was surprised for a moment and looked at her.
The eyes were not filled with the serious instructions he had expected, but rather with a clear worry.
What are you worried about? Do you know anything?
But he didn't ask.
His doubts were covered up, and he looked normal, and replied obediently, "Okay."
"Also, you have to remember that no matter what happened in the past, things are different now. You have me now, and I will protect you and will never let you suffer the slightest injustice again." Xu Xingxing was nagging like a nagging old woman. She was even afraid that the rebellious boy would get tired of listening, so she shook his hand on the table to comfort him.
"You must believe me."
Oh……
How can I not believe it?
This is the only thing he can hold on to in this world.
He looked at the softness in his hand, and the bitterness in his chest almost overwhelmed him.
He wanted to say: You must believe me too.
But on second thought, what does it matter?
So, he just said, "I believe it."
I believe in you, can you always believe in me?
No.
But it doesn't matter.
I will do whatever it takes.
I will make you trust me completely and always.
Xu Xingxing glanced at the sun and realized that an hour had passed. He stood up, stretched, and said, "Shall we go?"
Xiao Hei didn't come back to his senses, but was subconsciously attracted to her in the sunlight.
"What's wrong?" The woman waved her hand in front of him. "What are you thinking about?"
He was stunned, then laughed.
She was before his eyes now, and he would keep her before him forever.
He seemed to have touched something, but also seemed to care nothing about it.
He gathered the dark and poisonous haze that filled his heart into a corner, letting it grow wantonly. His expression remained unchanged as he simply smiled and said:
"Xingxing, let me take you somewhere."
