“To achieve great things, one must make sacrifices!”
"The Tree of Life has begun to wither. The White Feather Clan can no longer wait. Sacrificing a few people to build the clan is worth it. The position of leader must not remain vacant any longer!"
The footsteps faded away, Shen Ruoxi leaned against the wall, and gradually clenched her fists.
Although they are from the same tribe and although they love Awan, this love is ultimately mixed with interests and choices.
What’s even more terrifying is that they don’t know that the young man is Chaos. Once Chaos regains his memory, the disaster he brings will be devastating.
Just like the Flame Cult in that life, how many people lost their families, how many companies went bankrupt overnight, and how many ordinary people's faith suffered a devastating blow.
By then, Awan will definitely blame herself.
No wonder in the last reincarnation, Awan was willing to sacrifice her own life to seal Chaos for a hundred years, and took the consequences on herself.
She couldn't just stand by and watch this happen, she had to take action in advance.
Tomorrow, she will find an opportunity to seal the chaos in advance!
Shen Ruoxi thought about it all night and hardly slept.
The next day, she got up at dawn, washed up quickly, and went to the small courtyard where Awan lived.
After these few days, the guards at the door had become familiar with Shen Ruoxi. When they saw her coming, they exchanged a few words and let her in.
"Is Awan up?" Shen Ruoxi asked.
The guard smiled and replied, "The winter dates in the backyard are ripe. Miss Awan went to pick them early this morning and I guess she hasn't finished yet. The princess can go directly to the backyard to find her."
Shen Ruoxi thanked him and went directly to the backyard. Before she got close, she heard the girl's silver bell-like laughter.
"See those on the left? That's right!"
The branches of the jujube tree were shaking, but the person climbing on the tree was not Awan, but the young man from yesterday.
He hit wherever Awan pointed, completely different from the rebellious boy yesterday.
The young man was indeed as handsome as the captain of the guards said. Although there were bruises on his face and mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned when he looked at Awan.
The wind also made its hair a little messy, making it look like a stray dog that had just been adopted by its owner, well-behaved but with a hint of awkwardness.
Awan picked up a winter jujube from the ground and took a bite: "So sweet!"
It’s really sweet!
If we ignore the fact that the boy is the reincarnation of Chaos, this would have been a heartwarming picture of childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned.
"Wanwan!" Shen Ruoxi called out.
When Awan saw Shen Ruoxi, the smile on her face became even wider, and she called out sweetly: "Mother!" But after she called out, she covered her mouth and looked around nervously.
Shen Ruoxi glanced at the young man out of the corner of her eye. The young man seemed not to have heard that Awan called him "mother" and did not show any strangeness or surprise.
"Are you up so early to pick winter dates?" Shen Ruoxi smiled and tidied up the wind-blown hair on Awan's forehead.
"Awan had a dream last night. She dreamed that all the jujube trees in Baiyu Village were ripe, hanging on the branches, but no one cared about them. It was as if everyone in the village had disappeared overnight. When she woke up, she felt so sorry. She had wanted to go pick winter jujubes by herself, but unexpectedly she met Ah Chong, so she came together!"
As she spoke, A Wan brought the winter dates to Shen Ruoxi like she was presenting a treasure: "These have all been wiped by A Wan, they are very sweet, come and try them!"
Shen Ruoxi took one and took a bite. It was indeed sweet.
"Your name is Ah Chong?" Shen Ruoxi looked up at the young man who was still lying on the tree, "Come down and rest for a while."
The boy didn't move, but looked at Awan.
Awan smiled and waved at the young man, "The princess has spoken, and you've been busy with me all morning. Come down quickly and eat the dates. They're so sweet!"
Facing the girl's sunny smile, the boy's cheeks flushed and he nodded shyly: "Okay."
However, the next second his foot slipped and he fell down.
"A Chong!" A Wan screamed and hurried after him, "Are you okay? Is there any pain? Can you stand up?"
Meeting Awan's nervous gaze, the boy's face turned even redder, and he avoided Awan's gaze somewhat embarrassedly: "It's just a minor injury, I'm used to it, it's okay."
"How can it be okay? You are not made of iron. You should tell me where it hurts!" Awan's tone was a little angry.
The young man was stunned. After a while, he stammered, "Don't be angry. It really doesn't hurt..."
Awan glared at the boy again.
The young man coughed softly: "Just, my butt hurts a little..."
After saying that, the blush on her face spread all the way to her neck.
Shen Ruoxi: …
Is Chaos’ acting so superb?
A Wan helped the boy to sit on the stone bench in the yard, then trotted back to the house to get the medicine for injuries. In the empty yard, only Shen Ruoxi and the boy were left.
There was no reason for Shen Ruoxi not to seize the opportunity that came to her door.
This kid is such a skilled actor. It's too dangerous for him to continue to get along with Awan like this!
"Let me check your injury." Shen Ruoxi stood up, walked to the young man and sat down, "Stretch out your hand."
The young man looked at Shen Ruoxi and did not move.
"Why, do you think I will hurt you?" Shen Ruoxi pretended to joke.
She believed that she had won the Best Actor title based on her genuine talent and that no one would be able to find any flaws in her.
Sure enough, the boy shook his head: "I just don't believe that there is anyone in this world who truly cares about me."
Shen Ruoxi choked.
"Then why do you trust Awan so much?" When Shen Ruoxi asked this question, she stared at the boy without blinking, trying to see something in his eyes.
The boy was silent for a moment and said six words: "Because she saved me."
The boy's attitude was sincere, his eyes were genuine, Shen Ruoxi was stunned and didn't see anything unusual in his eyes, so much so that she also felt a little pity for the child in her heart.
This must be a poor child who has been abused so often that he lacks a sense of security.
But Shen Ruoxi quickly came to her senses. If she was soft-hearted, it would harm Wanwan's past and present lives. She had to stop everything from happening and shoulder the consequences of all this.
“Awan is a very important person in my life. Everything I do is for her good.” Shen Ruoxi said.
The boy smiled and said, "That's right." Then he stretched out his arms.
Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised. She didn't know why the boy seemed to have suddenly let go of his hostility towards her. She thought it was a trick, but even when she took out the talisman paper, the boy didn't ask another question, let alone stop her.
Shen Ruoxi chanted the spell according to the sealing method taught by her master, and the surrounding aura instantly soared. The withered yellow leaves swirled around the two of them.
Shen Ruoxi moved her fingertips slightly, drawing a red talisman. She glanced at the young man and pushed the talisman out.
