Purple and pink ring
Su Liu hugged Qi Fengling tightly, and kissed him gently in Qi Fengling's trusting gaze.
"You were so annoying when you were nineteen. If he hadn't been willing to sign for me, I would have kicked him away long ago," Su Liu tried to ease Qi Fengling's anxiety by changing the subject.
The gloom in Qi Fengling's eyes was tinged with a smile. "If I had known that you thought of me like this at that time, I would have run away long ago."
"So you are so weak-willed that you want to run away so easily," Su Liu bit Qi Fengling's lips.
"At that time, I was filled with beautiful yearnings for love, a feeling of 'young man's self-proclaimed love' that wouldn't tolerate even the slightest flaw. I couldn't understand adults' views on love, and I didn't understand why love could only be considered an accessory, the icing on the cake. How could passion not be exchanged for true love?" Qi Fengling paused, then continued, "Later, I realized that love is indeed beautiful, but if love is the only thing between two people, everything will be lost."
Love does not exist independently. In its essence, like dodder, it can only grow by relying on something else.
Beauty, wisdom, wealth, character...
These are all conditions for gaining love and being loved.
"Why have you become so tolerant now? It's like you have become a completely different person. Are you finally willing to admit that your previous liking for me was just superficial 'lust at first sight'?" Su Liu asked.
"Yes," Qi Fengling blushed slightly, "From childhood to adulthood, I have always been able to get what I want with a little effort. I thought love was the same."
"Then rejecting you is probably the best thing I've ever done." Su Liu changed the subject. "According to 'Criminal Psychology' analysis, 80% of suitors who engage in stalking behavior early on know that they're likely out of their league through conventional means, which fuels this primal hunting urge. They then hypocritically package this behavior as self-indulgent 'mad love.'"
Qi Fengling's smile turned awkward. When he was young, he was indeed a very self-centered person.
There must be a return for your efforts.
Those he loves must also respond to his love.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short time.
"But it's so magical. You obviously don't like me, and I'm not satisfied with you, but you just avoid all opportunities that may break the filter. It's so coincidental that we meet again at the right time, as if we were destined to be a couple." Su Liu held Qi Fengling's face, looked at him carefully, and kissed his lips again.
Qi Fengling didn't say anything, but when Su Liu approached him, he took the initiative to move closer.
"You just happen to have a face like this, like I personally sculpted it for my own use, and like you're designed to jinx me, always testing my patience," Su Liu said with her eyes closed. "It makes me often wonder if I'm also hypocritical."
"You don't have any?" Qi Fengling leaned close to Su Liu's ear and said aggrievedly, "You have a face I like too. I read a novel in junior high school that said an Alpha would 'fall in love' with many Omegas throughout his life, but there would only be one person he couldn't forget. I didn't understand what this sentence meant, but before I met you, I did have feelings for some Omegas. It wasn't until I met you that I understood what it meant."
"Qi Fengling!" Su Liu punched Qi Fengling angrily, hitting the key point very accurately, "You have liked many Omegas? Get out of here right now."
Qi Fengling held Su Liu's waist tightly and argued weakly: "...I didn't."
"Before I met you, I never had any feelings for anyone. You damn promiscuous Alpha, you have tarnished my feelings. Let me go," Su Liu struggled.
"...How can having a crush and being promiscuous be the same thing? Don't you have any feelings for an outstanding person when you meet him?" Qi Fengling tried hard to control his strength and left a few gentle and soothing kisses on Su Liu's ears.
"Why are there always so many outstanding Omegas around you? Any one of them can easily attract your favor? Why haven't I met so many outstanding Alphas? Why do they always have green eyes and look at me like hungry wolves looking at meat? It makes me want to kick them away. I can't even pick a tall one among the short ones," Su Liu couldn't break free and could only give up.
"...Perhaps, this has something to do with the social structure. The success of an Alpha often requires the support of the entire clan, which means that his overall strength is actually not strong; but the success of an Omega is usually achieved alone, so in terms of personal charm, Omega does not need to rely on the additional halo from the outside world, it is already shining enough." Qi Fengling said.
Su Liu's lips, which had been pursed, quickly curved upwards. He was clearly delighted by the coaxing. "I hope these words of yours don't get picked up by some scumbag. Otherwise, it would be too easy to deceive an inexperienced Omega. He might end up losing everything and still fall head over heels in love with you."
"They can learn my language, but they can't learn my behavior," Qi Fengling said confidently, "It's impossible for them to give you their entire fortune without reservation and wait for you so calmly for three thousand years."
Su Liu laughed, "Not only that, but you also have to endure your father's cold eyes and live like a punching bag."
"My father doesn't seem to be just thinking about that," Qi Fengling said hesitantly, "He has a feeling of 'I knew this child would be troublesome'. I can't explain it. Sometimes he looks at me like a fool, and sometimes he's jealous of my carefree life..."
"Don't you feel fatherly love from him?" Su Liu asked curiously.
"He and His Majesty have many heartwarming moments of 'loving father and filial son', but he always...sneers at me in front of my mother, which is very childish. Perhaps this is why I still feel resentful about his 'painless fatherhood'." Qi Fengling's face was full of disapproval.
"I read in some book somewhere that the gods often suffer from congenital infertility. Imagine your mother having to travel to another world to give birth to you. And no matter how hard it was, or how reluctant she was to be separated from your father, she would never give up. This is very much like an unplanned, illegal 'extra birth.'"
"Your father, being in a high position, had to set a good example, so he had to pretend that you were an 'illegitimate child' of unknown origin, ignoring you and speaking ill of you. In fact, he did this to save your life... From this perspective, does everything make sense?" Su Liu's thoughts diverged.
"...My father is very childish and definitely not the type of person whose father's love is as strong as a mountain," Qi Fengling said.
"As childish as you," Su Liu laughed.
"He has his own purpose in doing things. Although I have always known that he doesn't like children, he is not the kind of person who would force himself to accept my mother just because she likes him. In my opinion, he will definitely try every means to delay... unless the child is of great help to his wife, so much so that she would be willing to pay with her life for the child when necessary." Qi Fengling frowned, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"...You do have a deep prejudice against your father," Su Liu said, "Although I don't like my parents either, I believe they both love me. It's just that the love they are willing to give me is far less than what I hope for."
"Su Liu," Qi Fengling suddenly called softly.
"What's wrong?" Su Liu was confused.
"Perhaps, the gift I gave you wasn't inherited, but something I already had." Qi Fengling's thoughts became clearer and clearer. "In this world, Spark City first appeared the year my mother returned here."
"After your parents disappeared, the Spark City was sealed for another three thousand years. It was not until my arrival that it was restarted?" Su Liu said slowly.
Another point is: when the system panel mentioned Queen Dai Ning, it used the word "agent".
In addition, when upgrading panel equipment, the word used is "unlock" instead of "build".
Everything has a trace.
But...something still seems a little wrong.
"If this is their thing, why is it so difficult for them to use it?" Qi Fengling said firmly.
"...Take me to that dungeon to have a look," Su Liu felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety rising in his heart.
He thought to himself: If only he had the maximum level of "Disaster Revelation", he would be able to find someone almost instantly.
After half a cup of tea.
The two vampires sneaked out of the Duke's mansion.
As they flew low, they saw Zhao Jing and Mu Qingting running towards a no-man's land at the junction of Taocheng and Xiucheng.
Su Liu stopped them.
"...There was a grandmother I knew before, whose missing grandson was found not long ago. I...let's go and see him too," Mu Qingting explained.
"What's your name?" Su Liu asked.
"Qingtian," Mu Qingting said, wiping away tears.
"It's very similar to your name," Su Liu said.
"Because my name was also given by that grandmother. When my parents passed away, I was already very old, with no relatives around me, and I ate a lot. It was not suitable for me to be taken home for adoption, so I lived alone. Everyone in our village has the surname Mu. In order to distinguish them, others would only call me 'the girl named Xiaocao from Second Brother Mu's family'. Only she treated me differently and changed my name. Later... I met Brother Jing. At that time, he was being hunted by the vampires, and he was holding a baby in his arms. After being rescued by grandma, we raised the child together." Mu Qingting mentioned her past to Su Liu for the first time.
"Child?" Su Liu looked at Zhao Jing.
In the original book, Mu Qingting did have a younger sister, but she was not his biological sister.
This child is actually Lin Da's child.
"She was a test subject for a bestiality experiment on children in a project I was involved in before. The child was at the age when she liked to bite her toes. Every time I saw her biting her toes and looking at me with her big, shining eyes without blinking, my heart ached and I really couldn't bring myself to do it. Perhaps it was because of my young and ignorant courage that I took her and ran away... If it were now, I probably wouldn't do such a crazy and reckless thing," said Zhao Jing.
It was also after that incident that he was gradually marginalized by the organization and occasionally threatened with "harmless disposal."
"We only raised that child until she was one year old. For some reason, she always looked at me with a sinister look, as if we had some deep hatred. If she had a knife, I think she would definitely attack me, so... I really didn't care much about her," Mu Qingting's tears fell drop by drop. "But I didn't expect... not long after, she disappeared, and I haven't seen her since."
The first appearance of the demon boy in the original book was to hunt down Mu Qingting.
She thought that Mu Qingting had abandoned her, or faked his own death.
"How did she disappear? Did you leave her alone at home?" Su Liu asked casually.
Mu Qingting nodded. "Maybe we were just too young. That day, Brother Jing and I went to the market to buy things, and he was recognized by the people from 'The Dawn of the Coming Day.' To shake them off, we ran away from Mu Village. We hid there for two days and one night, and then returned before dawn. When we arrived, grandma told us she had disappeared the day before."
The demon child should have been taken away by the people of "Dawn of Tomorrow". Before leaving, he might have said something like her sister was dead.
Only in this way, when Mo Tong sees Mu Qingting again, will he misunderstand that her sister faked her death in order to abandon her.
Su Liu nodded and warned, "Be careful in your actions recently. By the way, how did Xun Ruozhang get captured?"
"There was a man who claimed to be the leader of the resistance army. He sent someone to invite Xun Ruozhang to Nancheng for a meeting. The invitation said that he wanted to merge with our Spark City. At that time, Duke Li said that this might be a Hongmen Banquet. The top leaders of the resistance army were not so easy to deal with. He asked Brother Jing to go and test their strength first and then make plans. But..." Mu Qingting lowered his head as he spoke.
"She didn't listen? Maybe she thought that since I was in Nancheng, it was normal for a leader to come to her door and hand over power voluntarily. What's more, the man named Li just arrived and his words were unpleasant to the ears. You didn't trust him very much, so you insisted on your own way and thought it was safe here?" Su Liu said.
Mu Qingting and Zhao Jing both looked ashamed.
"Never mind. Suffering a little loss is a good thing." Su Liu didn't like subordinates who were too dependent. He usually let his subordinates go on their own whenever he had the chance. He felt that as long as they didn't do anything unscrupulous, he could handle the mess no matter how big it was. "You came at the right time. Please give this seal to Xun Ruozhang for me."
As he spoke, Su Liu handed the seal that Lin Su had given him to Mu Qingting.
"Is this the new seal made by the city lord?" Mu Qingting looked at it carefully.
"This is a token of the resistance." Su Liu said.
"...Is this the resistance's token?" Mu Qingting looked at Zhao Jing.
"City Lord, as far as I know, the resistance's token is a purple-pink jade ring," Zhao Jing's eyes were full of horror. He obviously found that the City Lord had also been fooled by Lin Su.
"Is that so?" Su Liu smiled instead of getting angry.
Purple pink?
If he remembered correctly, that was the jade button that Lin Su wore in her hair.
