Chapter 48 If you like someone, ask yourself: Are you worthy?
It was already late at night when Xu Xingxing settled Xiaoran down.
She looked at Xiao Ran, whose body was devoid of any healthy flesh, and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She rubbed her swollen eyes and said to Yue Baiyin, who had been busy all day and was now very tired, "Master, I can take care of it myself. You go and rest."
Yue Baiyin pounded his shoulder, exhaled, and said with a look of regret: "Xiao Hei was too ruthless. Xiao Ran's injuries are showing signs of recovery, but this tongue...ah, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover."
"I'll find a way."
The Book of Beasts contains a potent remedy that can restore damage, but it's extremely expensive. Xu Xingxing felt somewhat discouraged and said, "But, Master, I'm still asking you to…"
"I won't tell anyone," Yue Baiyin said seriously, a rare moment of silence. "This is my home in the forest. No one else knows about it. Just stay here and relax. No one else will ever find out about this."
"Thank you, Master." Xu Xingxing wanted to smile to show his gratitude, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and found that he couldn't smile, so he gave up.
Yue Baiyin poured himself a cup of tea, brought it to his lips, and then put it down again: "Xing'er, although some of this may not be pleasant to hear, I still have to say it. When Xiao Hei first arrived at Spirit Beast Mountain, I felt that this fighting dog was very evil. Later, seeing that he actually listened to you, I thought I was mistaken. But now..."
Xu Xingxing wanted to cry again just by hearing this.
She really couldn't understand why Xiao Hei did this. Although these two people usually disliked each other, why would he use such heavy hands?
She had told him and even taught him as carefully as she would a child, but now it seemed that her so-called education was of no use at all.
"Don't cry, don't cry, ah," Yue Baiyin was at a loss for a moment, and sat down on a stool nearby. "I know you're reluctant to let him go, but you'd better think about it seriously. Xiao Hei... can't stay. You're now in the Fusion Realm, and your advancement in cultivation doesn't depend on him at all. When you break the beast contract with him, I'll teach you some methods from ancient books to reduce the loss of vitality. You can recover in another five or six years."
Xu Xingxing wiped away her tears and listened silently, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"If he makes a big mistake in the future, Kunlun will definitely kill him. If he dies then, your cultivation will be reduced by half, and your body will also be severely damaged." Yue Baiyin said while looking at her expression. After that, he was silent for a while, as if waiting for her reaction.
And she didn't say anything.
After finishing his tea, Yue Baiyin placed the cup heavily on the table, shook his head, stood up, and said, "You must know the pros and cons of this. I've said everything I need to say. I'm going to bed."
"Okay." Xu Xingxing still looked dazed, not looking up, and simply said, "Take care, Master."
Yue Baiyin looked at her again, sighed helplessly, pushed the door and left.
The candlelight flickered, and the sound of rain outside gradually stopped. Xu Xingxing looked at Xiaoran lying on the bed, his thoughts in a mess.
She felt thirsty, turned to look at the teacup, and fell into a daze again.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight noise outside the window. Her heart trembled, and she closed her eyes and chose to ignore it.
After a long time, the surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the sound of water droplets falling among the leaves.
She listened intently, not even the sound of breathing, as if the noise just now was just her illusion.
She checked Xiao Hei's location in her mind, and sure enough, he was still blocked.
She was stunned for a while, then poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.
He sat on the bedside, holding his solar plexus, and checked Xiao Ran's injuries again. The burnt flesh had fallen off, new flesh had grown, and the blood holes on his body had slowly healed. The products of the Book of Beasts were still strong.
But the healing speed is a little slower than last time, probably because of drug resistance?
The tongue she brought back had turned to ashes on the way. Even if Yue Baiyin said that it would be of no use if she really brought it back, but when she saw the spasming and twisting flesh and blood suddenly burned to ashes, she still felt that something in her heart had dispersed, becoming empty and lost.
I drank another cup of tea, but found the kettle was empty.
She could have used magic to boil the water, but she didn't want to do that now.
So he got up and took the teapot to another wooden house to get some water.
This wooden house is the residence that Yue Baiyin prepared in the mountains for treating spiritual beasts. It has a living room, a room, a kitchen and a bathroom, and is very exquisite.
And it is also very clean. In fact, Yue Baiyin's personal hygiene is worrying, and the rest of the place can be considered clean and tidy. Especially when it comes to the place where spiritual beasts are treated, in order to prevent the wounds of spiritual beasts from getting infected, he always cleans very diligently.
There is a hot spring in the mountain. Yue Baiyin dug a channel to lead the hot spring water into the yard, forming two small pools, one large and one small. Xu Xingxing squatted down and poured some water from the small pool, then looked up at the sky.
Just when she returned, heavy rain suddenly fell, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, and she could not even see the road ahead. Now the rain has stopped and the sky is clear, with stars shining in the sky, which makes her heart, which has been stuffy, feel a little relieved.
There is hope after all. As long as she finds more than a hundred spirit beasts, Xiaoran's voice may get better.
But even if his voice gets better, will he really be the same as before?
He was such a conceited person, but now he is completely different.
He is such a talkative person, but now his voice is completely useless.
He was such a lively person, but now he was unconscious and confused in the room.
And all of this was forged by her natal spirit beast, the one she thought she could trust completely, so she took off the beast chain.
She shouldn't have taken it off.
My eyes are a little sore.
She wanted to get up and go into the house, but she had probably been squatting for too long, and coupled with being too busy today, her brain was temporarily short of blood supply. She felt dizzy for a short time, and when she staggered slightly, someone immediately supported her arm.
She trembled and quickly pulled her arm out.
Her eyes were still dizzy, so she stood there holding her forehead to calm down for a while. Without looking at the figure standing in front of her, she turned around and went straight into the house.
After taking two steps, his wrist was grabbed again.
There was no sound behind her. She couldn't hear any breathing or heartbeat even if she used all her five senses. If it weren't for the slightly warm palms of her hands, she would have thought that there was a fierce ghost behind her from somewhere.
She didn't know that Xiao Hei's ability to conceal himself was so outstanding.
She didn't say anything and tried to break free, but found that the hands were clasped very tightly and she couldn't get away.
She closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Let go."
The person behind him breathed irregularly for a moment, but he didn't speak or move.
Xu Xingxing frowned, threw the teapot away, and tried to pry the hand that was clasped around his wrist, but he froze the moment it touched his wrist.
No wonder she felt damp and hot. It turned out that her hand was full of broken wounds. Every time she touched it, she would touch the bones covered with blood.
How could this happen? Did Xiaoran do this?
So that's why he wanted to kill?
Can……
The scene of Xiao Hei pulling out Xiao Ran's tongue popped into her mind again, and her throat choked. No matter what the grudge was, after all, they had been together for so long, it shouldn't be so cruel.
She lowered her hand and her voice became slightly lower: "Xiao Hei, let go."
No, it even got tighter.
"Why?" Xiao Hei's voice was slightly hoarse, and there seemed to be a hint of trembling when listening carefully.
Xu Xingxing just felt a headache.
Why? What why? I also want to ask you why! Why did you kill Xiao Ran? Why did you pull out Xiao Ran's tongue and even burn it to ashes? Were you afraid he would reveal some secret, or was it just pure revenge?
But now she didn't want to say a word, she just said: "Let go, I don't want to talk to you."
After a pause, he added: "I don't want to see you either."
Xiao Hei's body stiffened, his breathing stopped for a moment, and his heartbeat became irregular. It seemed that he had forgotten to block it, but the hand was stubborn and refused to let go. After a long time, his low voice sounded behind him:
"You, don't want me anymore?"
Xu Xingxing didn't say anything.
She had really thought about this just now, but she couldn't get over the fact that he had saved her.
If they want to part ways amicably, they need to calm down before discussing the matter. They can't be in the state of mind they are in now.
She needs time to calm down.
But the man behind her didn't give her time. As if seeing her silent for too long, his breathing quickened. He stretched out his other hand to her side and opened it. Then he asked again, "Why did you break it?"
The golden stone was thrown quietly in the palm of his bony hand, and new blood was attached to his body. The scene was strange and luxurious.
Xu Xingxing stared at the thing in his palm for a long time before he figured out what it was.
Jin Ling.
It was the one she crushed into powder using her spiritual power.
Only then did she notice the damp smell coming from behind her.
He braved the rain and retrieved them one by one?
Her heart softened and her eyes became hot again.
How could I not feel heartbroken when she ruined it so directly and thoroughly?
It was a sample design she had personally created, and the drawing took her more than a month to complete. It depicted an exquisite puppy flying in the clouds, with a star with a human face on its back.
She also quietly carved the Chinese pinyin of her and Xiao Hei's names in the gap.
xing hei
There is also a small heart engraved in the middle.
Hahaha……
It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about it.
She thought she must like him.
After all, he was so handsome, so perfect, and so kind to her, even willing to sacrifice his own life to save her under the thunderbolt...
Of course, she did not imagine more, nor did she force all relationships to have a result.
Even though she will definitely return to the real world, even though she never breaks the window paper when she leaves, she still cherishes this relationship.
After all, this is the first time I like someone so much.
But now, should she soften her heart because of this personal affair?
What did Xiaoran do wrong?
He just became a little dependent on her because she saved him.
He is kind-hearted, brave and free-spirited. In that desperate situation, he even released Rongjun. Despite suffering so much, he still loves life.
He shouldn't be treated like this.
Those who treat him like this should not be easily forgiven.
Xu Xingxing thought of Xiao Ran who was still sleeping in the room, and her heart hardened. She said calmly, "I said I didn't want to give it to you. Instead of asking me why I broke it, you should ask yourself, are you worthy of it?"
Are you worthy?
Are you worthy?
These three words echoed endlessly in Xiao Hei's ears, filling every corner of his mind, so much so that his heart and even his lungs felt torn apart.
Does he deserve it?
Just because he hurt a snake that had only been with her for two or three months, he was no longer worthy?
What about the closest person, the most trusted person? Are they all lies? Do they not count?
His eyes were bloodshot and his heart and lungs ached. He simply pulled her over and pushed her against a tree trunk nearby. He stared at her eyebrows, trying to find any sign of a lie, but failed.
Her eyes, which used to smile whenever she looked at him, were now filled with disgust. She stared at him, her words sharp as a knife: "What's wrong with you? What? Are you going to pull out my tongue too?"
Are you going to pull out my tongue too?
My tongue.
Xiao Hei's head was buzzing and about to explode, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the woman's lips.
Xu Xingxing noticed his gaze, and seeing his sinister eyes that seemed to want to execute her on the spot, her anger grew even more intense, and she cursed, "Look at your father, look at me, do my tongues and Xiaoran's look the same? He talks a lot, so do I. He has a sharp tongue, so do I. We have the same kind of tongues, come on, pull them out!"
She opened her mouth and glared at him, but Xiao Hei's gloomy eyes fell on her lips without moving.
She felt that he must be about to explode with anger. His breathing was deep and rapid, his heart was beating very fast, his dark pupils were trembling slightly, and his hands were extremely strong. At this moment, the arm that he was holding was already painful, but she still endured it and did not show weakness.
"If you don't want to pull it out, get out of here right now. I'm disgusted by the sight of you—"
Her jaw was held by a hand, and the face in front of her suddenly magnified. Then a hot tongue immediately entered her mouth.
Then she couldn't utter a word.
