Moreover, during the conversation, Nian Wanzhou would occasionally ask him why he liked such questions.
"Second Senior Brother, why do you like her?"
"Because to me, she's like a warm ray of light, illuminating me and within my reach." Le Xi was a little embarrassed when she heard the question, and scratched her head, trying to brush it off.
At that moment, he forgot that he was talking to a young girl.
He treated her as someone around his own age, not the junior sister he had envied, been jealous of, and even disliked.
Naturally, just like a young boy experiencing his first love blushing in front of his friends and talking about the person he likes.
Don't let Lexi's age fool you; he's hundreds of years old. By the standards of a dragon, he's just a young, inexperienced man, not even an adult yet.
Moreover, aside from being kind to Wei Wenru, he was generally quite indifferent to his fellow disciples.
They almost never interact with people from the sect.
Therefore, he was a complete idiot who didn't understand social etiquette, let alone matters of the heart.
Although Nian Wanzhou wasn't very mature, she had confidence in Le Xi when it came to these things. After all, she was a person who had seen a lot in the 21st century.
A noob always seems incredibly skilled in front of someone who's even less skilled!
"And then, she was a ray of light that appeared in your life and saved you?" Nian Wanzhou became even more curious. What exactly did the eldest senior sister do to make the second senior brother so persistent in pursuing her?
She's just as charming as her mom, she's practically a fairy-tale version of her mom!
As expected: birds of a feather flock together. After Nian Wanzhou traveled through time, she returned to find that she still met her mother and father!
"You could say that." Lexi seemed to recall something and suddenly sighed, "In the past, no matter what I did wrong, she always sided with me and wouldn't let me go. In short, she treated me very well, just as you said, she saved me and brought me back from my demonic state."
Now that things have come to this point, even a fool like Nian Wanzhou could guess who this person was, but she wouldn't say.
"Since things have come to this, what you should do is be grateful to her, not try to repay her with your love. She may not need it." Nian Wanzhou thought for a moment. If it were her mother, she would probably hope that this boy could get out of the shadows, shine brightly, and become a good young man, right?
"More than your love, she would prefer that you pull yourself together, be yourself, and become a better, more self-reliant individual."
"Be yourself?" This was the first time Le Xi had heard this phrase. It seemed... no one had ever said it to him before.
“Yes, be the person you truly want to be, pursue your own interests and life, it’s that simple.” Nian Wanzhou rested her chin on her hands and looked at Mingyue. This was a principle that her mother had taught her.
Mommy hopes she lives a happy and carefree life.
"The mermaid's eternal candle never goes out, dwelling in the deep sea, dreaming of a beautiful reunion. There are trees on the mountain, and branches on the trees, last night's stars were just like you." For some reason, as I gazed at the bright moon, this poem came to mind. The original line is adapted from a line in "Song of the Yue People": "There are trees on the mountain, and branches on the trees, I love you, but you do not know."
At this moment, Nian Wanzhou was lamenting that her whole family had been hoping for her recovery and looking forward to a happy life after her recovery.
But in the end, she couldn't make it through.
Once love is ignited, it will never be extinguished, and at the same time, it will look forward to the arrival of more happiness.
"Thank you, Junior Sister." Perhaps sensing Nian Wanzhou's sadness, Lexi didn't reply, but instead silently accompanied her to watch the bright moon.
He and his junior sister seemed to be like orphans, perhaps seeing the full moon would remind them of home.
The two, one big and one small, leaned against each other, gazing into the distance.
After a long while, Nian Wanzhou's thoughts were pulled back by the discomfort in her body. She hadn't expected that absorbing the essence of day and night couldn't stop the changes in her body, and her little face scrunched up.
"hiss......"
"What's wrong?" Lexi turned her head and saw a pained little face. She quickly looked down to check, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"I...I'm fine." Nian Wanzhou wasn't pretending to be fine; she simply didn't know what was wrong and couldn't explain it.
My whole body felt like it was being gnawed by insects, and it started to feel numb and stinging.
The worst part is that it feels like something is about to surface in my head, causing a throbbing, exploding pain.
Le Xi was worried and tried to touch her forehead to sense any changes in her. But everything seemed normal; he could only feel Nian Wanzhou's slightly cool body temperature.
This was the first time he had ever touched a woman other than his senior sister.
Even though the other person was still a child, Lexi was still quite nervous.
Seeing that Nian Wanzhou was becoming increasingly unwell, Le Xi disregarded everything else and immediately picked up the little dumpling to go find the sect leader.
......
On her way to find the sect leader in Lexi, Nian Wanzhou fainted. She vaguely remembered that her second senior brother was quite nervous, and the sect leader was not much better off.
Indeed, Nian Wanzhou's fainting spell alarmed the Second Elder, and everyone else was terrified.
"Sixth Brother, when you noticed something was wrong with her, were there any other symptoms?" Seeing the Second Elder using his natal magic weapon to save Nian Wanzhou, who had fallen into a coma, the Sect Master no longer cared about anything else.
Yuheng looked at Nian Wanzhou's pale face with heartache: "She was unwell when she was in the Jiaolong Clan. I treated her then, and she got better."
"But for some reason, the discomfort has worsened now."
Le Xi chimed in at this moment: "When I met my junior sister tonight, she was absorbing moonlight. Could it be related to this?"
Yuheng shook his head and denied it: "It shouldn't be. There have been examples of dragons absorbing moonlight before, and there have never been any problems."
Lexi's first reaction: It turns out that everyone's legends are not quite the same.
"It's still a problem with absorbing the black mist. It seems the black mist on Yue Lie's body is not simple." The Second Elder stood up and sucked out a wisp of impurity from between Nian Wanzhou's eyebrows, imprisoning it in a magic artifact.
That clump of impurities...
Surrounded by white light, the mottled ink dots are faintly visible, along with a red aura, and a faint smell of blood can be detected.
"How could...this happen?"
When everyone saw the red aura, they all gasped in surprise.
The white light was naturally Nian Wanzhou's spiritual power, an inside story known to the sect leader and the others. The ink-like dots were where the essence hadn't completely left behind the black mist, and the red spiritual energy... indicated that Nian Wanzhou's elixir had been damaged, similar to bleeding, which was a very dangerous situation.
Le Xi stared wide-eyed at the clump of impurities, raised her finger to touch it, then lowered it again, unsure whether to be shocked or not.
This is the first time I've seen such pure spiritual energy with my own eyes, and yet the elixir is damaged...
