Chapter 47 She Won't Run Away
Cui is a butterfly. When he was awakened from underground, he did not remember many things in the past, but he still remembered his malice towards humans.
So he will not interfere with the Zerg's actions, and may even occasionally cause some trouble to the human defense system.
The world is no longer what he once saw, and even he himself is confused as to whether he still exists.
Fortunately, there was still something he could do to help that adult accumulate strength.
Because that adult said that the world will return to the way it was when the first ancestor was still alive.
That was what he looked like before he fell asleep.
Later he discovered Qianzhi.
She was small, with black hair and fair skin, and the emerald green in her eyes made him feel inexplicably happy.
It was as if he was happy to discover that the black and white world suddenly had color.
Especially knowing that she is not exactly the same as humans.
She has a human vessel, but her soul and mental power are different.
Unfortunately, her memory seemed to be incomplete, just like him, like a soul suddenly lost in this world.
He enjoyed being close to her.
Although he came to the Imperial Star because that adult needed to ask the ancient tree for spiritual power, he also had to spend some time letting the mimic follow her.
The moment he sucked Qianzhi's blood, something in his body was instantly activated.
The heat is mixed with strange resentment, and hunger and thirst are accompanied by churning delusions.
Fragments of memories tumbled in his mind.
That was him and Chie.
——Under the dim light, she pinched his chin with her slender white fingers and kissed him softly;
——On the scorched earth, he pulled at her spreading vines with all his might, begging her;
What else?
He just felt that he missed her very much now.
I miss you very much.
The fragmented images were shaking and blurry, slowly piecing together to form the beautiful little face of the girl in front of him.
The boy's eager lips covered it and licked it carefully and closely.
Until he was slapped by Qianzhi.
Cui came to her senses and pushed her tongue into her mouth.
His chaotic thoughts caused his inhuman tentacles to extend from his forehead.
The silver wings flapped violently, and the fierce wind cut the branches and leaves, and even left deep cuts on the thick tree trunks.
"Sister." His cheeks puffed up, and transparent moisture flowed pitifully from the corners of his bright red eyes, "You are rejecting me again."
Just like leaving him behind in the past.
"Again?" Qianzhi shook off the hurt hand, pursed her lips that were kissed so hard that they hurt, and answered indifferently.
"I think you got the wrong person from the beginning."
"I won't admit my mistake!" The tentacles on Cui's forehead swayed like puppy ears, swaying with his emotions.
"You used to like kissing me like an irritable kitten, and if you were unhappy with the kiss, you would touch my face like you did this time."
And there was more. But he couldn't remember it now.
It was clearly a slap, but he thought it was a sweet touch.
Qianzhi frowned with a headache. She felt that she had met enough lunatics and psychopaths tonight and she was a little fed up.
"Then will you listen to me?" She tugged at Cui's tentacles and twisted the corners of his lips with her fingers.
Cui's face flushed because of her actions, her silver eyes lit up, and she leaned forward stickyly: "I will listen to my sister in everything!"
But the girl showed no mercy: "Then let me go now and leave here."
The indifferent words made the boy's antennae droop, like a poor abandoned little butterfly.
Qianzhi sighed and stroked his furry tentacles:
"If I need you in the future, I'll find you."
Cui's tentacles stood up happily again.
When Vivian returned to the palace, she indeed saw the anxious expressions of those handsome sentinels.
Theo, who was in the middle, lowered his pale golden eyes as he listened to the report from the sentry below:
"The computer shows that Miss Qianzhi left the corridor fifteen minutes ago and has not returned."
The man had a blank expression on his face and pursed his lips. "Where are the surveillance cameras near the corridor?"
"Because I was affected by an unknown mental force, I haven't been able to recover yet."
Ian frowned imperceptibly.
Could it be that they scared her when they mutated, so she didn't want to come back?
Vivian looked around.
There was no discussion of bugs, and no reports of them.
It seems that during the time when the sentry mutated, no one noticed the bugs outside the palace, so there is no need to find other excuses.
She cleared her throat, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Just now," Vivian showed a somewhat sad and lost expression, as if she was very sorry for Qianzhi's departure, "I saw Miss Qianzhi outside the corridor. She looked a little worried, especially..."
She deliberately emphasized, "Especially when I mentioned the subsequent Divine Envoy Ceremony, her expression became unpleasant and she walked away."
After Vivian finished speaking, some of the sentries showed expressions of sudden enlightenment:
"So he's afraid of making a fool of himself at the Divine Envoy Ceremony!"
"Not to mention her, if it were me, I would have also deserted. After all, I'm just an A-rank guide, yet I'm trying to get close to the Marshal, an SS-rank sentinel, and even want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kneel at her feet."
"If you ask me, she shouldn't have come to the dinner today. Now everyone is looking for her, isn't it even more embarrassing?"
"——Go look for her again. Qianqian won't just leave without saying goodbye." Theo clenched his fingers, and his low voice penetrated the noise of people's discussions.
Ian released his spiritual body, strengthened his sense of smell and hearing, and decided to go find Qianzhi himself.
"Your Highness!" The researcher searching nearby reported to Theo, "We've detected the cause of the Sentinel's abnormality. The frequency of its spirit's fluctuations matches the frequency just emitted by the ancient tree! This means someone was near the ancient tree and awakened part of its consciousness!"
"-No wonder I couldn't control the abnormal behavior this time. It turned out to be the ancient tree!" A sentry said in shock.
"But who did it? Could it be--" Everyone turned their eyes to Vivian.
"Didn't Guide Rola go out just now? Could this person be Guide Rola?"
"Only an S-rank Imperial Rose can awaken the ancient tree, right?"
Everyone's voices of admiration and praise, as well as their enthusiastic looks, made Vivian, who was a little confused about what was happening, feel elated.
She brushed her long red hair and said nonsensically, pretending to be calm and nonchalant:
"I don't know either. I was just passing by the corridor and felt like something was calling me."
She deliberately left some blanks in her words, and sure enough, some sentinels made associations based on her words.
"It's Miss Rola's spiritual power indeed!"
"It has to be the Imperial Rose. Those miscellaneous flowers are useless at the critical moment—Ah, you—Pfft!"
Before the sentry who was praising Vivian could finish his words, Bo Lan strode over and beat him to the ground.
"I advise this gentleman not to disparage any guides casually. Otherwise, I won't just give you a punch."
The man's eyes were fierce and his fingers were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
"Do you know who I am?" The sentry jumped up and pointed at Bo Lan. "I'm a viscount, and you're just a stinky commoner who was carried up here! - Puff -"
He was slapped again.
But it was not the Bo Lan beside him, but a thin vine.
"I never said I would leave without saying goodbye." The girl's voice was soft and sweet. "Alan, come here, don't dirty your hands."
I rubbed my hands, wanting to write something, but afraid of getting pinched.
