Chapter 0121 Snowflake
To be honest, Yuan Baifu didn't understand what these two words meant at all, but since they contain the word "silly", he could figure it out after a little thought.
He then realized that Xiao Rong had never shown any fear from beginning to end. When he was wondering, he suddenly heard Xiao Rong ask: "Qu Yunmie is so good to you, why do you hate him so much?"
Yuan Baifu's attention was instantly diverted. He looked at Xiao Rong expressionlessly: "Who said I hate him?"
Hearing this, Xiao Rong raised his eyebrows: "That's right, you betrayed him, robbed his men, killed his subordinates, and now you are traveling hundreds of miles just to find a place to burn me to death. You really don't hate him at all."
There was a sarcastic smile on Xiao Rong's face, just like the one Yuan Baifu saw from the Nanyong people. When the Nanyong people showed this kind of smile, he would hold it back, but when he saw Xiao Rong showing this kind of smile, he could not hold it back.
"I don't hate Qu Yunmie, I just can't stand the way he looks like he has everything. We have the same background and the same fate, but why do all the benefits fall on him? He is just an arrogant, ungrateful fool. Why does everyone only see him? Why does even the heavens favor him? He is not worth it at all!!!"
Xiao Rong was no longer smiling, and his eyes were cold. He looked at Yuan Baifu and didn't even have the mood to refute him.
Qu Yunmie is not worth it? The people of Nanyong can say this, and the people north of the Huai River can barely say it, but Yuan Baifu...
He has no right to speak!
At that time, there were only a few people left in the Zhenbei Army. How did Yuan Baifu think he could escape alive? Wasn't it Qu Yunmie who cleared a bloody path for them? In the following ten years, every time the two armies fought and every time they charged into battle, wasn't it Qu Yunmie who rushed to the front and protected everyone behind him? Now that the Zhenbei Army has been divided into several groups, Yuan Baifu feels that everything about the Left Army has nothing to do with Qu Yunmie. But if there was no Qu Yunmie, where would he get the Left Army and the position of the commander? Before the army was divided, Yuan Baifu was also a member blessed by Qu Yunmie!
But Xiao Rong remained silent. He would not say these words.
Yuan Baifu has gotten stuck in a dead end. There is no need for him to let Yuan Baifu see everything clearly, nor is there any need to let Yuan Baifu feel remorseful, realize that he did something wrong, and then ask for forgiveness in tears. This kind of drama... Disgusting, I want to vomit just thinking about it.
Xiao Rong didn't want to do this. This kind of revenge was too childish, so he wanted to do the opposite.
While Yuan Baifu was speaking, Xiao Rong tensed the back of his hand, trying to pull one hand out from the tightly tied rope, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. The metacarpal bone under his thumb was always stuck there. Xiao Rong lowered his eyes, pressed the bone with his other hand, and then suddenly pulled it out with force.
He trembled with pain and blood oozed from his bitten lips. Yuan Baifu thought he was finally scared, and he wanted to smile sarcastically, but he seemed unable to control his expression, so he turned around and threw the lamp out. The flames spread along the lamp oil, licking the dilapidated wooden bed and the tattered cloth on it, and then burned it all at once.
This time Yuan Baifu could see Xiao Rong more clearly. His body was trembling and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Yuan Baifu felt something was wrong. However, the next second, the rope on Xiao Rong fell off and he actually stood up in front of Yuan Baifu.
Yuan Baifu did not expect this to happen. Xiao Rong stood too fast, and Yuan Baifu thought he was going to attack him. He suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Xiao Rong. However, as soon as it touched Xiao Rong's body, his knife seemed to be pushed by a force and suddenly returned to the angle he had just raised.
Yuan Baifu was completely stunned.
He didn't believe it and chopped down with his sword once again, but Xiao Rong didn't even dodge and just watched Yuan Baifu's actions quietly. Yuan Baifu was going to chop at his head, but the same thing happened. Just when his sword touched Xiao Rong, or was about to touch him, his sword was pushed back violently.
This time Yuan Baifu's face was distorted.
He murmured: "Monster, monster..."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and slashed at Xiao Rong with an even more ferocious expression, while Xiao Rong had a strange expression on his face. He curled his lips and smiled, then walked towards Yuan Baifu step by step. The fire behind them was getting bigger and bigger, and had begun to burn onto the roof, but the two of them didn't care at all. Yuan Baifu slashed at him with his sword again and again, but no matter how he chopped left and right, Xiao Rong was fine.
After he finally stopped, Xiao Rong looked at him with pity and said to him: "I am not a monster."
"I am a messenger sent to the mortal world by the gods. My only mission in this life is to assist Qu Yunmie and help him ascend to the throne. You say that the gods favor him, but that's not accurate, because the gods also serve him. Have you heard of the True Dragon Son of Heaven? Qu Yunmie is the incarnation of the True Dragon and the destined Son of Heaven. You think you are similar to him because you live in the same world and the same environment, but in fact, you can be born and grow up with him. This is a blessing that you can't cultivate in eight lifetimes. So you see, the person favored by the gods is actually you."
Yuan Baifu stared at him blankly, while Xiao Rong tilted his head at him: "You were born to be a subordinate, a servant, a follower. What makes you think you can be compared with Qu Yunmie? The gap between you and him is like the difference between heaven and earth. Otherwise, why would I come to Qu Yunmie but not to you?"
Yuan Baifu kept repeating: "No, no, you are a monster, you, you are a ghost, not a human, nor a god! Qu Yunmie is not the emperor, he is just a bad guy who got lucky! Just because his surname is Qu, he can treat me as a human being, and his surname is Qu, he can be superior to me. Without me——"
Xiao Rong: "Without you, Qu Yunmie is still Qu Yunmie. He has been getting better and better without you in the past six months, but how have you been without him in the past six months?"
Yuan Baifu was stunned for a moment, then he roared and chopped at Xiao Rong again. This time his knife was bounced away, and Xiao Rong immediately reached out and snatched the knife away while Yuan Baifu was distracted.
Xiao Rong is a man who can wield a real sword, so wielding a real knife is not a difficult task for him.
What's more, Xiao Rong was full of anger now. He took the knife and slashed at Yuan Baifu with his backhand. Yuan Baifu was injured and let out a scream, but Xiao Rong had never really used a weapon, so he did not hurt Yuan Baifu's vitals. The pain in his body made Yuan Baifu suddenly sober up. He rushed towards Xiao Rong, and during the struggle, Xiao Rong used his hands and legs to strangle Yuan Baifu's neck and slammed him to the side. The earth building, which was already precarious, shook suddenly, and the beams fell down. Xiao Rong was startled and retreated instantly, but Yuan Baifu could not retreat.
With a muffled groan, Yuan Baifu was crushed underneath, with the huge log pressing on his internal organs, which was also the place where Xiao Rong had chopped him just now. Yuan Baifu raised his head with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something to Xiao Rong, but his eyelids gradually closed and his head fell back to the ground.
Xiao Rong stood in the corner, with the spreading fire behind him, the beams blocking his way and Yuan Baifu whose life or death was unknown in front of him.
He stared at Yuan Baifu closely, but couldn't tell whether he was still alive or not. Perhaps it was because of the scuffle or the increasingly fierce fire, Xiao Rong's breathing became very rapid. He then noticed that there was thick smoke all around. Even if Yuan Baifu was not dead, he would have died after breathing in the smoke for a while.
Xiao Rong could have escaped at this time. As long as he risked his skin being burned by the fire and went down quickly before the building collapsed, he could have saved his life.
But his whole body was in pain, including the back of his head and his broken hand. He had just wrestled with Yuan Baifu and had a scratch on his face and other injuries on his body. In addition, the fire was so big and there was so much smoke that Xiao Rong doubted whether he could walk downstairs.
Even if he continued walking on, his appearance would probably scare a few people who cared about him to death.
Of course, he is in Yizhou now, and he can’t scare other people who care about him for the time being, so he can only scare Qu Yunmie.
No one told Xiao Rong what happened to Qu Yunmie, and Yuan Baifu couldn't tell him these things either, so Xiao Rong could only imagine, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he decided not to go out.
Perhaps the system could only give some positive effect at this time. As for what the system said about Xiao Rong being unable to die, Xiao Rong found out after several attempts that it was divided into two types.
One is a sudden fatal injury, which cannot hurt Xiao Rong; the other is a gradual fatal injury, such as drowning or suffocation. Xiao Rong will faint during this process, and then the system will transfer him to a safe place nearby. When he wakes up, there will be no trace left on his body.
Xiao Rong is a man who values his life, so he would never take the initiative to try these things. These were all things he encountered on the way to find Qu Yunmie.
One thing Ah Shu admired about Xiao Rong was that he could always escape unscathed from bandits. Well... not really unscathed. Sometimes he relied on his immortality to scare people away, and sometimes he could only die and then get up as if nothing happened.
So far, Xiao Rong has only "died" once, when he drowned. Those people were afraid of him and thought he was a monster, so they threw him into the water and ran away.
The feeling of being unable to breathe was really uncomfortable, a bit like now, the difference was that when he was in the water, he couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, but here, he could see everything clearly, and saw the flames devouring the earth building like a monster, and after a moment, it would devour him too.
Xiao Rong knew this would never happen. He was immortal. He was like a little monster that had eaten Tang Monk's flesh and was no longer afraid of death. ... But he was still very scared.
Looking at the flames that were engulfing the house and smelling the choking smoke, Xiao Rong didn't know when he would pass out. This feeling of waiting was too uncomfortable, as if he was not waiting for his rebirth, but his true death.
He is timid and afraid of death. Logically, after a person has experienced many life-and-death crises, he should not be so afraid anymore, but he is not like that. He is still as timid as when he first met him. Everyone has flaws that cannot be corrected, and this should be Xiao Rong's biggest flaw.
However, Xiao Rong thought that he should have made some progress. After all, he sat down on his own initiative this time. Although he was very scared, he knew that this was the best way. Before the fire burned him, he would inhale a lot of carbon monoxide which would trigger the system's mechanism. He would not feel pain, and after waking up, all the injuries on his body would disappear, and he would not have to be a patient when he returned.
More importantly, after Qu Yunmie comes to find him, he won’t have to worry anymore.
